Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

"If you hand over this case to Dali Temple, it is better to hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Dali Temple handles the case, and nine times out of ten it will be lost. The first emperor wanted to withdraw Dali Temple when he was alive, but it was put on hold for the time being due to the needs of the government. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Dali Temple will be reused. Everyone in the temple must have forgotten the original crisis!"

Zhao Liumei didn't care about Xu Shaoli from Dali Temple nearby. They have been used to being domineering all these years, and I heard that the new emperor wants the cabinet to supervise Dali Temple recently.

Xu Shaoli on the side stared at Zhao Liumei in disgust, no matter what she said, he didn't say a word, the minister of Dali Temple was soft-spoken, she was indeed not a high-ranking official, she was the eldest princess, and also the beloved daughter of the first emperor, although she was not as powerful as before, but where was her identity!
Zhang Xian chuckled, and immediately put away his smile, Zhao Liumei was always arrogant, she was defiant before, but now she has become a rebel and is still so intolerable, how could she take care of such petty officials as them.

After a while, He Jining walked up the hall, led a group of women to kneel down and said, "My lord!"

"Den!" Zhang Xian, with a hint of anger, seemed to want to vent the anger he received at Zhao Liumei on the women behind He Jining, and scolded: "Mr. Qiao, you are guilty!"

The young woman shuddered and lay down on the ground in a panic, saying: "My lord, the people, the people's wife is not guilty, the people's wife is here to sue someone, how could he be guilty? The people's wife is not guilty, she is not guilty!"

"Bold and cunning woman, still claiming that she is not guilty!" Zhang Xian took the confession, threw it in front of her, pointed at the confession angrily and said, "Whether the charges on the confession are true, how Qiao Xiao insulted the county magistrate, how he stole money, you tell the truth, if it is not the truth, I will punish you for disturbing the court!"

The young woman was so frightened that she clinged to the ground and cried loudly: "My lord, what the woman said is true, Xiao Shi did make a fuss in the county government in front of everyone in the county government, and scolded all the master and government servants!"

"Why did that happen?" Zhang Xian asked angrily.

The young woman thought for a while, but she didn't want to tell the reason, so she hesitated and said: "Yes... yes..."

Seeing that she couldn't tell, Xiao Qing helped to add: "It's because my eldest son, Qiao Dajing, and Lao Qiao were wronged as deserters. The county magistrate judged them to be a serious crime, and they will be imprisoned for ten years. My lord, I have already mentioned the desertion issue in my previous letter. You can read the notice we submitted earlier, where there are detailed notes. My lord, the desertion matter is indeed wronged!"

"Nonsense, elder brother and Qiao Dajing are deserters. The arrest document under the command of Yizhou border at that time, how can this be fake!" The young woman saw He Jining beside her, and said angrily.

Xiao Qing saw that the two were working together, and Qiao Yuncui was willing to be He Jining's sharp sword. He couldn't help but sneered and said, "Qiao Yuncui, you want to slander me, but you can't commit serious crimes to your own brother and nephew. Your brain is eaten by dogs, and you can't tell who is a family member and who is an outsider? Do you know if Qiao Dajing was slandered as a deserter, and now he is released, what will be the consequences? Let me tell you, not only Qiao Dajing will die, but even the county magistrate, And your family, as well as Qiao Xiangmin and Qiao Yucui's family are all implicated, can you bring Qiao Yucui with you when you testify against me next time, she has more brains than you and knows the pros and cons of the matter!"

Like a fool, she was taken advantage of by others and counted money for others. She didn't know that Old Qiao's family was killed by him all her life.

Qiao Yuncui was shocked by Xiao Qing's words: "You're talking nonsense, I came here to save my second brother, to get rid of you, a scourge, how could I harm them? You are talking nonsense!"

"Nonsense?" Xiao Qing raised his head to look at the officials seated high, and finally fixed his eyes on her, angrily said: "Look at today's situation, it looks like you are talking nonsense? Do you know the consequences of your nonsense here? Do you know how much the old Qiao family will pay for your recklessness and ignorance?"

Qiao Yuncui raised her head and looked at Yin Tianfu, who looked like Yan Luodian behind the table case, Dali Temple officials who looked like Raksha, and all the vicious high-ranking officials. Her heart suddenly jumped wildly. She looked at He Jining, but He Jining gave her a calm look, don't let her believe Xiao Qing easily, but facing this kind of scene, she can't believe it if she doesn't want to, but at this moment she can only trust He Jining.

"Ah, I, I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth! Everything started because of you, all of this is because of you..." She lowered her head in a panic as she spoke, for fear that the loud voice would cause discomfort to those sitting high: "You are the one who went too far. That person in Yaoshan Village didn't tell you that you were pregnant, you did all the bad things, it was you!"

"Because of me?" Xiao Qing said in a cold voice: "Master Zhang, my lords, I have a witness, can I invite him to the hall?"

Zhang Xian asked in surprise, "Do you have any witnesses?"

Xiao Qing responded: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, others have witnesses to prove my guilt, and of course I also have witnesses to prove their guilt!"

Zhang Xian nodded, pondered for a moment: "Is it true?"

Xiao Qing looked back at Pin Zhu who was waiting at the door.

After Pinzhu received the order, he turned around and left, and after a while he brought people back to the entrance of the lobby.

"Princess, someone is here!" Pinzhu pushed one person into the room.

When this person came in, Qiao Yuncui was shocked when she turned her head, and she exclaimed, "Second brother?"

Qiao Xiangmin did not expect to see Qiao Yuncui in the lobby of Yingtian Mansion, and he was also very surprised and asked: "Second sister, you, why are you here? What are you doing here?"

"Second Brother, Second Brother..." Qiao Yuncui whispered, "I'm here, I'm here to save you!"

He still doesn't know what Qiao Yuncui is capable of. If she could save him, he would have gone out long ago. Does he need her to save him?

"What are you messing around with? I don't need your help! Go back quickly!" Qiao Xiangmin lowered his voice.

"Deng!" With a sound, Zhang Xian said seriously: "Who is in the hall? Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Qiao Xiangmin was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and saluted, "The grass man pays respects to your lord. The grass man's name is Qiao Xiangmin, and he is from Yaoshan County!"

"My lord, he can testify what I did when I was in Yaoshan, and how he obeyed Jiao Pinliang's words to frame Qiao Dajing and Qiao Yumin as deserters! He is a participant in these things, I believe no one is more convincing than his words!" Xiao Qing reported.

Qiao Yuncui looked at Qiao Xiangmin in disbelief. He came to testify for her?Also prove his affair with Jiao Pinliang back then?
"Second brother, do you really want to testify for these things? Have you made a mistake? She is hurting you, she wants you to die!"

Qiao Xiangmin had heard Xiao Qing explain the power of it a long time ago, how could he not know that if he dared to say a word of repentance, he and his family would die without whole bodies, sacrificing him alone to save the whole family.

"Yes, my lord, just as the princess said, it was Cao Min and Jiao Pinliang who found Qi's cousin and framed Qiao Dajing!" (End of this chapter)
