The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Qin Yunzhu looked back at the people he had treated and was deeply moved.

He is a doctor who takes it upon himself to heal the sick and save lives.

He didn't ask for anything in return for treating patients, but seeing these people come to testify for him warmed his heart.

He knelt on the ground, turned to the side, raised his hands in a gesture of respect, and the iron chains on his hands rattled: "Thank you, fellow citizens, for bearing witness for me. Yunzhu is deeply grateful!"

Chen Ning examined the letters. If the contents of these letters were true, then the Dali Temple had almost wronged an exceptionally good person!

Just then, someone came in from outside and reported: "Sir, the people of Zhongdian County have arrived and are at the city gate crying out for justice for Qin Yunzhu. There are a huge crowd of onlookers!"

Bo Qingfeng frowned deeply.

Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, you've really got some nerve!

I originally intended to crush them with public opinion, but I didn't expect them to fight back!

The entire Qin family was overjoyed; this battle was brilliantly fought!

Originally, public opinion was unfavorable to the Marquis's mansion, but when the people of Zhongdian County went to the city gate to cry out for justice, the rumors would be dispelled on their own!

At this moment, another guard came in to report: "Sir, Eunuch Luo from the palace has arrived."

Upon hearing the name "Eunuch Luo," Chen Ning, Bo Qingfeng, Qin Yezhong, and Qin Xingyuan were all taken aback.

These officials knew of Eunuch Luo's official position.

Eunuch Luo was a eunuch who served the emperor.

His personal visit must mean he has something very important to report.

Chen Ning quickly invited Eunuch Luo in, who also brought a group of guards.

Qin Yezhong said that he sent someone to the palace this morning to inform His Majesty of the matter, and now he has finally received a reply.

Chen Ning stood up from his seat.

Eunuch Luo was slightly plump, dressed in a dark red eunuch's robe, and had a smile on his face.

"His Majesty is concerned about Young Master Qin's case and specially sent me to take a look. I wonder how the investigation is progressing?"

Chen Ning, who was close to the Emperor, dared not be negligent and respectfully said, "Eunuch Luo, the investigation has yielded some results, and it can be basically confirmed that Qin Yunzhu was wronged."

"His Majesty's decree is that if someone is innocent, then release them. This will put the minds of the people outside the city gates at ease," said Eunuch Luo.

In fact, how can the court's judgment be swayed by the people?

The Emperor was not stupid; he saw through the Empress Dowager's scheme.

If the Marquis's mansion falls, what will he have left? He will have even fewer supporters in the court.

When people gathered outside the city, he did not send anyone to disperse them, but let them cry out for justice outside the city.

He wanted to sway public opinion in favor of the Marquis's residence, thus turning the tables on the Empress Dowager.

"Your subject obeys the decree." Chen Ning bowed respectfully.

"You all heard that, why aren't you unlocking Young Master Qin's chains?"

Immediately, someone went up and unlocked Qin Yunzhu's chains.

Qin Yunzhu was acquitted and released.

The Qin family was overjoyed to see Qin Yunzhu declared innocent.

Yang Xiurong's eyes welled up with tears.

Qin Wanying was genuinely happy for her fourth brother.

That's wonderful! Fourth brother has been acquitted and can reunite with his family!

"His Majesty also asked whether anyone has been unable to distinguish right from wrong and maliciously convicted someone?" Eunuch Luo said, glancing at Bo Qingfeng.

Bo Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

Could it be that His Majesty came specifically for him this time?

He is the Empress Dowager's man! His Majesty has always been patient and accommodating to the Empress Dowager in everything, how could he possibly harm the Empress Dowager's man at will?

Upon hearing this, Chen Ning immediately understood.

He had long disliked Bo Qingfeng.

For so long, a mere junior official has been jumping around in front of him, relying on the Empress Dowager's support.

He hurriedly replied, "Bo Qingfeng, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, convicted Qin Yunzhu without sufficient evidence and even wanted to sentence her to death. He found witnesses from Zhongdian County to prove Qin Yunzhu's guilt, but the testimonies of these witnesses are very different from the testimonies of other people in Zhongdian County. I suspect that he deliberately framed her."

During a break in the interrogation, Chen Ning heard his subordinates recount the entire process of Bo Qingfeng's trial.

Bo Qingfeng's face turned ashen; this was a serious crime, a deliberate framing.

“In that case, let’s imprison and interrogate him!” Lord Luo said.

Chen Ning originally dared not touch the Empress Dowager's people, but now that the Emperor is backing him up, he naturally has to seize the opportunity.

"Guards, take Bo Qingfeng away!"

The guards obeyed the order and escorted Bo Qingfeng away, one on each side.

Bo Qingfeng shouted, "How dare you! I am acting on the Empress Dowager's orders! How dare you touch me!"

As the shouting continued, the voice grew increasingly frantic.

This time, it seems His Majesty is serious.

He wasn't sure if the Empress Dowager could protect him.

But his voice grew softer and softer, and he was being carried away.

Before leaving, he exchanged a glance with Qin Yunzhu.

Previously, Qin Yunzhu was a prisoner, and Bo Qingfeng was the presiding judge.

In less than an hour, their identities were drastically reversed: Bo Qingfeng became a prisoner, while Qin Yunzhu was declared innocent.

Qin Yunzhu looked calmly at Bo Qingfeng being dragged away.

Those who gave false testimony to frame Qin Yunzhu have been detained and are under investigation.

Since Qin Yunzhu was innocent, the entire Qin family returned to the Marquis's residence together.

At the city gate, someone announced that Qin Yunzhu had been released, and the people were then dismissed.

Throughout the country, in every place where Qin Yunzhu had sought treatment, people wrote letters of gratitude, praising Qin Yunzhu's benevolent heart as a doctor.

Rumors across the country have ceased, and instead, the news has spread that Qin Yunzhu was wronged, that the Marquis's family is loyal and righteous, that the Emperor is discerning, and that the Empress Dowager has convicted the loyal and virtuous.

Of course, Qin Wanying was involved in these rumors.

Shadows leave no trace, and no one can find out what they do.

Cining Palace.

An old woman with graying temples, dressed in a dark green robe and wearing a heavy gold headdress, had an angry expression on her face. All the servants in the palace knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

The old woman is none other than the current Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager's chest heaved violently.

"How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense!"

"This brat has gone too far!" the Empress Dowager roared.

The child she spoke of was none other than the current emperor.

She and the emperor were not biological mother and son. The emperor's biological mother died when he was twelve years old, and he was later raised by the empress dowager.

Later, the emperor fell seriously ill, and the empress dowager took control of the government. After the emperor's health improved, he gradually seized power.

However, he still showed great respect to the Empress Dowager on the surface.

Even now, the Empress Dowager still has the power to interfere in state affairs.

The emperor rarely disobeyed the Empress Dowager's orders.

This time, the emperor not only disobeyed but also mobilized the Empress Dowager's people, imprisoning Bo Qingfeng.

The Dali Temple investigated the case thoroughly and found that Bo Qingfeng had indeed committed the crimes of deliberately finding false witnesses and deliberately convicting people of wrongful convictions. He was sentenced to have his property confiscated and be exiled.

Those people who gave false witnesses were also exiled.

She had gone to great lengths to place such a person in the Dali Temple, but it turned out to be useless. She tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, and ended up getting herself into trouble.

She originally intended to use public opinion to bring down the Marquis's mansion, but unexpectedly, the Marquis's mansion turned the tables, and now her reputation is about to plummet.
