"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, wake up, it's daylight."

  In a dream, there was a voice calling in his ear, calling non-stop. Zhou Xuan reluctantly opened his eyes to see a messy hair swaying back and forth, followed by a pair of shiny black eyes.

  "Oh, Xiaodi, brother-in-law is very sleepy, sleep a bit more - right, there's something today, okay, get up."

  Zhou Xuan got up, went to the backyard to wash and came out, ready to go to the prefectural government.

  "Zhou's wife," called out the spinning needle, "drink a bowl of porridge before you go."

  It turned out that the needle and the old servant got up early and cooked a pot of red bean lotus seed porridge.

  Zhou Xuan didn't eat anything last night and was indeed hungry, so he wolfed down eight small bowls of red bean porridge, stunning Xiao Di, who said "Brother-in-law's stomach is really big, he can eat a lot!"

  At the end of Mao time (7:00 am), the Qin family set out, leaving only Lu An and three servants to guard the house. Zhou Xuan rode his old horse, while Madame Qin, Xiao Di, Qin Que, Zhenzhen, Xiaohuxiang, and Lao Yihuan six people took a carriage to the county yamen's main courtyard. They saw Lai Fu buying some breakfast for Old Master Qin, saying that nothing had happened last night, and those on duty had received Zhou Xuan's silver and were still polite, just waiting for today's release from prison.

  The officials of the Xingyu Procuratorate usually didn't take their seats until three quarters past the Chen hour, so Zhou Xuan and his group arrived too early. After waiting for over half an hour, there was still no sign of anyone. Madame Qin, being elderly and overweight, couldn't stand for long, so she sat in the carriage with Xiao Di to wait.

  "I don't know if the draft made Lord Li return last night?" Here is only a street away from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Zhou Xuan was about to go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to ask, but saw Lin Hanyin riding a beautiful cyan mare came, followed by Old Dong, and another official who was dressed in uniform and rode alongside Lin Hanyin, don't know what kind of officer?

  "Hey, Zhou Xuan, look at how hard I'm working for you. Early this morning, I brought the judge from our county's yamen to your father-in-law's place to plead on your behalf. Tell me, little sister-in-law, am I not treating you with kindness as heavy as a mountain?"

  The judge of the Du Hu Fu, surnamed Fan, dismounted his horse and greeted Zhou Xuan with courtesy. He said, "Junior official speaking: 'Young Master Zhou, I have come to the provincial government on the orders of the eldest young lady of the Du Hu Fu. Please wait a moment, junior official will go in and come out immediately.'" After adjusting his official hat and brushing off his official robe, he strode into the provincial government to see Governor Xu.

  With the intervention of Judge Fan from the Department of Household Affairs, Qin's release from prison is imminent. Zhou Xuan feels relieved and smiles at Lin Huanyu, saying: "Great kindness doesn't need to be thanked, I don't like to keep it on my lips, I remember it in my heart."

  Lin Han said: "I like to hang on my lips, remember in my heart, who knows!"

  Qin Que stepped forward and bowed: "Qin Que thanks Miss Lin for saving his father's life."

  Zhou Xuan said: "Sparrow, don't thank her yet, wait until my father-in-law is released before thanking her."

  "Ah! You ungrateful wretch, I'll beat you to death!" Lin Han was filled with righteous indignation, and she stepped forward to pinch Zhou Xuan's arm, pinching him several times in a row.

  Zhou Xuan made a bitter face and said to Lao Dong: "General Dong, have you ever seen such a benefactor who is being chased and beaten to thank him?"

  Even Lao Dong, a man so conservative and cold-blooded, couldn't help but crease out a faint smile at this moment.

  Qin Que saw Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyu quarreling, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart, although this Miss Lin was still underage and dressed as a servant.

  After a while, Fan the judge came out with an iron face, and Xu the historian followed behind him, explaining in a low voice: "Judge Fan, it's not that I don't want to release him immediately, but Lord Li had previously spoken about this matter. Once Lord Li returns, I will immediately clear Qin's name, please be assured."

  The governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office was a fourth-grade civil servant, one grade lower than the regular fourth-grade governor of the province, but as the governor who handled the daily affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, he had more power in some aspects than the provincial governor. He personally visited the door but didn't get anyone, and his face was not very good-looking. He said lightly: "It is Miss Lin who ordered me to do so, since I am a low-ranking official with little power, let Miss Lin ask Governor Du to come out in person."

  Magistrate Xu was startled, pulled Judge Fan aside and whispered a few words in his ear. Judge Fan's expression changed drastically as he said: "So that's how it is! No wonder, no wonder! Magistrate Xu, I understand now. I'll go give Miss Lin an answer right away."

  Zhou Xuan and Qin Que, Zhenzhen were both taken aback: What's going on? Even the people from the Protectorate are showing up but still refusing to let them off? Are they really guilty of an unforgivable crime?

  Lin Han Yun saw the truth being revealed by Zhou Xuan, and for a moment, she couldn't let it go. She suddenly felt her face losing its luster and asked in a flustered tone: "Magistrate Fan, what's going on? Are you not going to take the person?"

  Fan Judge no longer had the unfair and underestimated look of before, saying: "Second Miss, go back to the mansion first, this matter needs to be carefully considered."

  Lin Han Yun said, "Xu Governor, what's the need for further discussion? What's the reason you can't release them? Look at my nephew Zhou Xuan and his wife standing there, so well-matched and loving. This is a false accusation, a rumor. Rumors stop at wise people, don't they?"

  Magistrate Xu naturally couldn't reveal the top-secret information he had just shared with Judge Fan to Lin Hanyun, so he forced a smile and said: "Don't worry, Second Miss Lin. Dr. Qin will be fine. I'll immediately arrange for him to be transferred from the detention center to the holding cell, where he can live normally as long as he doesn't leave the premises. Once Lord Li returns, I'll explain that Qin Xiong is innocent and have his official position reinstated. How does that sound?"

  Lin Han Yun knew that it was impossible to let him go now, so she walked over and lowered her voice to tell Zhou Xuan: "We've run into a stubborn fool, there's no way out, we can only wait for Lord Li to return. Anyway, your father-in-law will definitely let you go, sooner or later - let's hurry up and go to the 'Super Autumn War Hall' first, the final battle is about to begin."

  Zhou Xuan said: "You go first, remember, don't delay the decisive battle time, let Tang Xiaosan take the stage on time."

  Lin Han was furious, pointing at Zhou Xuan with a sobbing tone: "If I lose the store, I want you to compensate me, ten times over." He hastily mounted that small blue mare and left with Old Dong through the north gate.

  On the road, Lin Han's big eyes were filled with tears as she urged on the little green horse beneath her. The horse ran extremely fast, while Old Dong followed closely behind on foot, not lagging a single step.

  Lin Han Yun muttered and scolded Zhou Xuan all the way, until they arrived at Lao He Tang's Half Idle Street. In front of the "Super Autumn War Hall", the courtyard was bustling with people, almost all the famous insect friends from Jiangzhou City had arrived. The tea house of Liao Yin couple was extremely busy, and business was indeed booming.

  "If so many people lose face like this, I, Lin Er, will completely lose all dignity in Jiangzhou from now on!"

  Lin Han Yun muttered a few more curses at Zhou Xuan before walking into "Super Autumn War Hall" with a cold face.

  "Hu Tongyong stepped forward and asked: 'Miss Lin, where is Master Zhou?'"

  "He's dead."

  Hu Tong was startled and carefully asked: "Is Master Zhou busy with his father-in-law's affairs and can't come for the time being?"

  Lin Han Yun lazily replied, "Where's Tang Xiao San?"

  Hu Tong replied: "Xiao San is feeding insects in the insect room."

  Lin Han Yun entered the insect room, and Tang Xiao San had already followed Zhou Xuan's instructions to give "Little General Zhang Chao" half a grain of secretly made small medicine pills. The young man carefully did several things that Zhou Xuan had instructed him to do.

  Lin Han Yun and Tang Xiao San had just exchanged a few words when they heard Hu Tong say from outside, "Miss Lin, Little San, that person has arrived."

  Lin Han Yun came out of the insect room and took a look. The thin and weak scholar didn't bring any followers, he was alone, carrying a blue cloth wooden box, walking lightly, the surrounding insect guests made way for him one after another, whispering to each other, guessing who this person was, actually owning three green-backed fierce insects?
