When everyone heard Qingfeng say it was his foot bath water, they all started vomiting.

"What's wrong? I was fine just now, but it's flared up again. Wait for me, I'm going to wash my feet again." Qingfeng said, pretending to get up.

Everyone waved their hands, saying they were completely healed.

Qingfeng's expression instantly turned serious. He sneered, "I've never heard of foot bath water being able to cure diseases."

Speak!

Who ordered you to do this? Confess now to avoid physical punishment.

"We are telling the truth and would never dare to deceive you, sir. Please, sir, do us justice."

Those people refused to admit it and still wanted to put up a stubborn resistance.

"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin." Qingfeng kicked the man who had just spoken in the leg, and the man immediately knelt on the ground.

Hong Xinyue led the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture into the room.

"Who are you, and how dare you cause trouble in the government office?" the prefect asked angrily.

The prefect sat down under the plaque of "Mirror of the City" and adjusted his official hat. "Who is here? What is your business? How dare you trespass into the Jingzhao Prefecture? Anyone who has broken into the prefectural government office, take him out and give him thirty strokes of the cane."

A yamen runner hurriedly came to the prefect's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

The prefect sat up abruptly. "Miss Hong, please wait a moment. I have some urgent matters to attend to before handling this case." He hurriedly got up and followed the bailiff.

Xiao Zhan rushed to the prison. He showed his token, and the constables quickly led him the way.

One of them secretly ran to inform the prefect.

Xiao Zhan arrived at the place where Jiang Wei was being held.

Dewdrops were shedding tears of worry as Jiang Wei and Doctor Mo were talking about something.

While waiting for Xiao Zhan, Jiang Wei finished packing the medicine that Doctor Mo had given her.

Xiao Zhan's voice was cold and filled with murderous intent, as if it had descended into hell: "Open the door for me."

Jiang Wei saw that it was Xiao Zhan who had arrived; he had come far too quickly.

He arrived shortly after she had already arrived.

Jiang Wei walked to the door. "General Xiao."

The constable with the key hurried forward and opened the door with trembling hands.

“It’s cold and damp in here, let’s go outside first.” Xiao Zhan stood aside and let Jiang Wei go first.

The group left the prison and went to an open space outside.

Doctor Mo said to Xiao Zhan, "Can you lie down now?"

Xiao Zhan nodded.

Doctor Mo looked at Jiang Wei and said, "They are kind-hearted and willing to give, so let them give it to us first. We don't need to rush to brew the medicine or cook the porridge."

After saying that, Doctor Mo left without looking back, as he still needed to go back and check on his herbs.

The prefect came running all the way, his official hat tilting to one side.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's frosty expression, he quickly knelt before him, "This humble official pays his respects to Your Highness. I was unaware of Your Highness's arrival and failed to greet you. Please forgive me."

Xiao Zhan did not tell him to get up, but kept him kneeling without saying a word.

The prefect's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and he felt that he was about to collapse.

Xiao Zhan said coldly, "Get up! The Prefect is really arrogant. He doesn't need to ask about the details of the matter or conduct a trial before locking people up. I didn't know that the laws of the Great Xiao are decided by the Prefect."

The prefect trembled and knelt down even further, his whole body shaking as he kept saying he dared not.

"You are the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. If you know anything about the laws of the Great Xiao Dynasty, you should know what to do. If you break the law, you must bear the corresponding punishment."

After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Wei, his gaze softening, and his voice carrying a hint of intimacy, "It's cold here, let's go back first!"

Jiang Wei nodded, but before she could even lift her foot, the breeze had already passed by.

“Master, those people were just trying to slander Miss Jiang. I just fetched some water for them outside, and they all recovered on their own. They were just faking it.”

And that prefect was also blind; without even distinguishing right from wrong, he wanted to give his subordinate thirty lashes.

The prefect's heart sank even further.

Xiao Zhan didn't turn around. "The Prefect should know how to judge cases, right? If not, he should just submit his resignation and return to his hometown tomorrow."

After Xiao Zhan and the others had gone far away, the prefect slowly stood up from the ground and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

Inside the yamen, a group of burly men lay on the ground groaning in pain; this time, they were truly in agony.

A group of people, relying on their numbers and the fact that the Prime Minister's daughter would back them up, always thought they were something special.

They wanted to gang up on Qingfeng, but Qingfeng quickly took them all down.

This time, they not only had stomach aches, but their hands and feet also hurt.

Hong Xinyue was cursing Qingfeng, thinking that because she was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, everyone would be afraid of her.

However, Qingfeng turned around, looked at her with a forced smile, and walked towards her step by step.

Hong Xinyue introduced herself while cursing Qingfeng in an attempt to scare him away.

Even after she retreated to the doorway, the breeze didn't stop.

Hong Xinyue leaned against the door, extremely nervous. When she saw Qingfeng raise a hand, she fearfully told Qingjian not to go over.

She placed her hands in front of her chest, and when she saw Qingfeng's hand reaching out towards her, she closed her eyes in fright.

Qingfeng punched the door behind Hong Xinyue, startling her into a scream.

"The Prime Minister's eldest daughter is a noblewoman from a high-ranking family. She should be a refined lady who never leaves her home. She must be proficient in poetry, songs, needlework, and flower arranging. Look at you, do you think you know any of these things? You're just a common shrew, yet you dare to impersonate the Prime Minister's eldest daughter. If it weren't for the fact that you're a woman, I would never forgive you." Qingfeng felt relieved and secretly pleased after scolding him, and went to find Xiao Zhan and the others with light steps.

Hong Xinyue was left furious behind. Everyone in the capital knew that she was the most favored girl in the Prime Minister's mansion. How dare this person call her a shrew? He was simply asking for death.

It's because everyone in the capital knows she's the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family that no one dares to offend her once they hear her introduce herself. She doesn't even need to bring guards when she goes out. Yet today she's been humiliated like this.

"I will definitely bring you back and tear you to pieces!" Hong Xinyue's furious voice echoed throughout the entire government office.

The prefect walked to the door, and his legs went weak again.

We just sent off one ancestor, and here comes another.

He stood silently at the door for a while, then suddenly fell backward and fainted.

The clerk knelt beside him, calling out "My lord, my lord," and tried to wake him up by pinching his philtrum, but he wouldn't wake up no matter how hard the clerk pinched him.

With increasing force, the prefect secretly twisted the clerk's leg.

The clerk cried out in pain, knowing the prefect was faking it, and quickly ordered people to carry him back.

Hong Xinyue stood to the side, glancing at the prefect with great dissatisfaction. "What's wrong with him?"

The clerk hurriedly stepped forward to respond, "Sir, it seems you have suddenly fallen ill. We'll have to have a doctor examine you to find out the exact cause."

Hong Xinyue was impatient; after being tormented like this today, her mood was at its worst.

She gave him a disdainful look, and the prefect turned to walk out.

The men who got up from the ground quickly followed behind Hong Xinyue.
