Lu Lingling took out several account books from her pocket, as well as all the prescriptions that Xie had taken before her death.
A subordinate beside the county magistrate received an order and presented the evidence against Lu Lingling.
Just when Lu Lingling thought that the truth was about to come to light, the county magistrate suddenly threw the account books and the prescriptions in his hands to the ground in anger.
"Bold Lu Lingling, this is the evidence you mentioned. Look at this book, which item does not record the income and expenditure of Lu Zhen and Zhang to maintain the Lu family? There has never been any embezzlement of Xie's dowry."
At this time, the medical officer beside the county magistrate also stood up and said, "This prescription is clearly a good remedy for recuperation, not a deadly poison."
The county magistrate was furious, "Lu Lingling, how dare you deceive me? Someone, drag her away and put her in jail."
At this moment, Lu Lingling looked up and saw Lu Zhen and Zhang's gloating smiles.
As expected, Lu Zhen was willing to destroy his own daughter just for the sake of those dowries.
Since he is ruthless, she doesn't need to show any mercy to Lu Zhen.
Estimating the time, Lu Lingling was not too panicked at the moment.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Han Xinyu took advantage of Lu Lingling and everyone's distraction, rushed forward, and took out the thing that the county magistrate had pressed on the corner of the table.
[Good old thing, you really just replaced everything]
After getting the evidence, Han Xinyu handed it back to Lu Lingling.
"How dare you! Come here, arrest this little thief for me!"
Seeing that several yamen runners were about to grab Han Xinyu, Lu Lingling drew her sword and was about to protect Han Xinyu.
"Who dares to touch her?"
In a flash, Han Xiangwen walked in and looked around.
"Who dares to disrupt the court? Come, arrest him as well!"
At this time, Han Xiangwen took out the jade pendant from his waist, on which the word "Han" was clearly written.
"Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"
Although the county magistrate was a small county official near the capital, he had no chance to have any contact with the Han family. But who else would have the Han family on the jade pendant except the son of Prime Minister Han.
"I was blind and offended Mr. Han. I hope you will forgive me."
Han Xiangwen glanced fiercely at the county magistrate, then said coldly, "The person you offended was my younger sister. Do you know that she is the Princess Yuanxi, who was personally appointed by His Majesty? How dare you treat her like this now?"
Upon hearing Han Xiangwen's words, the county magistrate was so frightened that he almost fell down.
He could not afford to bear the consequences of offending the young master of the Han family. After all, everyone in the capital knew that the Han family was powerful, and Prime Minister Han was extremely protective of his children. Wouldn't he report him and transfer him to a remote place?
Now he is fortunate enough to be able to come here and serve as a county magistrate. It is only a dozen miles away from the capital. If he works hard for another year or two, he will be able to live in the capital permanently.
If he were targeted by Prime Minister Han, he would never be able to set foot in the capital in his lifetime.
What's more, Han Xinyu is the county lord, and he can't afford to offend her.
But now, he has offended both of them.
"Why don't you step back now?"
The county magistrate quickly scolded several yamen runners, and then put on a respectful face.
[Tsk, what a hypocritical county magistrate! He's the one who's hurting this generation of officials. And now, he's bribed to frame my beautiful sister.]
Damn it!
"You just said that this girl was talking nonsense and trying to slander her father and stepmother"?
The county magistrate didn't dare to look Han Xiangwen in the eye. All the evidence was still in Lu Lingling's hands, so he didn't dare say anything more.
"Whether it's true or not, I think you know it clearly. You should know that my father has always been upright and honest. He hates corrupt officials who oppress the people. When the time comes..."
Han Xiangwen deliberately did not finish his words, but he knew that the county magistrate had already understood the threatening meaning in his tone.
Han Xinyu also pinched her waist and snorted coldly at the county magistrate.
"You're right. My father will definitely report this old man. A man like him is not worthy of being the people's father and mother."
The county magistrate agreed repeatedly and then threatened to re-examine the case from the beginning.
"County Master, you can't do this. You clearly promised me to arrest this little bitch. I gave it to you..."
Before Lu Zhen could finish his words, the county magistrate covered his mouth with his hand.
The county magistrate cursed in his heart. Originally, this matter could have been discussed after Han Xiangwen and Han Xinyu left, but this idiot failed to see the situation clearly and revealed his secret bribery in public.
By then, not only will his official hat be in danger, but even his life will be on the line.
Seeing that Lu Zhen wanted to say something else, the county magistrate slapped Lu Zhen to the ground.
Then, under the supervision of Han Xiangwen and Han Xinyu, the county magistrate rarely enforced the law impartially and made Lu Zhen and Zhang return the money they had embezzled over the years. He then imprisoned Zhang and executed him in the autumn.
At this time, Lu Lingling's support team arrived late.
Just as the person sent by the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion was about to clear Lu Lingling's name, Lu Lingling stopped them with a glare.
People from Yong'an Marquis Mansion:???
What’s going on? Is it that they are no longer needed now?
It was not until the man recognized Han Xiangwen and Han Xinyu that he roughly guessed what had just happened and simply retreated.
Lu Lingling: ...
Fortunately, everything was resolved, but she didn't expect that the two people she accidentally saved were actually Han Xiang's children.
Oh my god, she's so lucky.
"Thank you, County Lady and Master Han, for the rescue!"
After saying that, Lu Lingling turned around beautifully and wanted to leave, but she didn't expect to be hugged by Han Xinyu.
[Such a beautiful sister, we must not let her run away. Big brother is really stupid. He didn’t even react at all when he saw such a beautiful woman.]
Han Xiangwen was so angry at Han Xinyu's words that he pinched his fingers and made them click.
What tricks is this little kid going to play today?
Lu Lingling couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. Are the thoughts of today's little kids so bold?
It is said that the young master of the Han family is really handsome, but it is obvious that they are not suitable for each other.
At this moment, Han Xinyu recognized Xiao Liuzi in the crowd.
[Hey, isn't this Xiao Liuzi from my mother's best friend's family? Why is he here too?]
Only then did Han Xiangwen notice Xiao Liuzi hiding in the crowd and looking around. Before Xiao Liuzi could react, he grabbed the back of his neck and lifted him up.
"Liuzi, why are you here?"
Xiao Liuzi turned his head and saw Han Xiangwen's enlarged handsome face, and his face turned pale with fright in an instant.
Help, why are you so scary? He’s just a kid!
Who will save him?
Han... Young Master Han, I, I am only here to do something as ordered."
