Qin Que wept bitterly, her elder cousin had let her down too much, how could he do this? Qin Que felt as if something inside her was collapsing. When she heard the eunuch say that Lord Li said she must either enter the palace or go to prison, with a heavy heart, she stepped forward and said: "Qin Que is willing to enter the palace."

  Zhou Xuan was thinking of a countermeasure when he heard Qin Que say this and was shocked: "Que'er, absolutely not."

  "Qin Que's eyes were filled with tears as she gazed at Zhou Xuan, her voice mournful: 'Husband, I, Que Er, cannot bear to let Father and you go to prison. I can only enter the palace. Husband, your kindness I will never forget. May we meet again in the next life.'"

  Wow, it's so touching! The life-and-death farewell on the public platform is not to mention Feng Ah Monitor, even Bai Deputy Envoy and Xu Inspector are also overwhelmed with emotion.

  At this time, however, someone burst out laughing. Who? Zhou Xuan.

  Zhou Xuan walked over and grabbed Qin Que's hand, smiling and saying: "What are you crying about? Don't worry about the next life for now, let's just be husband and wife in this life. I won't let you enter the palace, even if we take a step back and say you do enter the palace, it will only be for three years, I can wait for you. If our love is long-lasting, what does it matter whether we are together every day or not? Of course, being together every day is naturally better."

  Zhou Xuan's optimism was infectious to anyone, Qin Que's sadness turned into shyness and delight, saying: "However, after three years of leaving the palace, the sparrows have all grown old."

  Zhou Xuan said: "What's with this 'old' business? Twenty is the prime of life."

  Qin Que's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she gazed at Zhou Xuan, and she was so moved that she couldn't speak.

  "The magpie from Qin cannot enter the palace."

  A cold voice rang out, and everyone in the hall looked towards the speaker. The one who dared to defy Lord Li in public was Feng Ah Jian.

  Mr. Li was rather displeased, but due to Feng Ah's special identity, he couldn't lose his temper either, so he patiently asked: "Why did you say that, Monitor Feng?"

  Feng A's words shocked everyone: "Qin Yu is no longer a virgin, how can she enter the palace?"

  Magistrate Li exclaimed: "Deputy Ji said that Feng Ah Ca last time still confirmed Qin Que was a virgin, how...?"

  "Feng Ah watched calmly and said: 'That was two days ago, it's already passed.'"

  Lu An was shocked and furious, glaring at Zhou Xuan and Qin Que: "You... you have an affair? Just these two days?"

  Lu An's heart was bleeding, he had been hiding in his house for two days and rarely came out. He never thought that his innocent and pure cousin would be messed with by Zhou Xuan to the point where she wasn't a virgin anymore!

  Zhou Xuan knew that Feng A was helping him, and said: "The sparrow is my wife. Is there a law in the Tang Dynasty that says husband and wife performing the rites of Zhou Gong is adultery?"

  Zhou Xuan tightened his grip on Qin Que's hand, feeling it tremble and noticing that the nape of her neck had turned completely red.

  It seems that Feng Ah is an authority in the field of virginity testing, and Lord Li deeply believes her words. After a moment's pause, he said: "Since Qin Chou cannot enter the palace, let Zhou Xuan and Qin Xiong go to prison."

  Lin Heishan finally couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Lord Li, this statement is completely wrong! Since my sworn brother and sister-in-law have already consummated their marriage, they are truly husband and wife. Why should they still be imprisoned? Isn't this just tearing apart a loving couple? I, Lin Heishan, will not accept this!"

  Lin Heishan spoke too directly, and Li Daren's face couldn't hold on, saying: "Even if Zhou Xuan didn't know, Qin Xiong's guilt is hard to escape, Qin Xiong can't be exempted." He stood up and walked away with a flick of his hand.

  Xu Cishi, Feng Ajian and Bai Fushi looked at each other, shook their heads and nodded.

  Xu Xian said: "Zhou Xuan and Qin Que are innocent, release them immediately. Alright, everyone can withdraw."

  Zhou Xuan was very depressed, being summoned to the court every other day, going through the motions and then being released without any result. His father-in-law was still unable to be released, that Li kid was really worthless, even more stupid than Xu Cishi's son. Stupid people holding high positions and wielding great power were truly a disaster.

  Zhou Xuan was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he kicked Song Dachun who happened to be at his feet, sending him rolling all over the ground. Jiang the assistant teacher saw an opportunity and quickly slipped away.

  Lu An was nowhere to be seen again.

  Lin Heishan comforted the young couple, saying: "Don't worry, Xuan's father-in-law is also my elder, I will not let my own elder be imprisoned for nothing. In three to five days, he will definitely be released without guilt, I guarantee it."

  Xue Ya rushed in hastily and called out to Xu Cishi, who was just about to leave the hall: "Your Honor, something's gone wrong! The people of Jiangzhou have gathered together and are causing a disturbance!"

  Magistrate Xu was shocked, the people gathering to make trouble is no small matter, if not handled properly, it could lead to a large-scale riot, and his own official hat would be hard to keep. He hastily asked: "Why are the people making trouble?"

  Xue Bang said: "Sir, please listen, they are shouting and coming."

  Outside the provincial government office, a chaotic and noisy shout came, listening carefully, several loud and clear slogans could be distinguished:

  "Dr. Qin is innocent!"

  "Release Dr. Qin!"

  "We want Dr. Qin and Miss Qin to treat our illness!"

  The three officials on the platform exclaimed: "It turned out to be begging for Qin Xiong's life!"

  Zhou Xuan and Qin Que were both surprised and delighted. Justice is in people's hearts after all. The people of Jiangzhou are indeed righteous.

  Mr. Li, who had just walked away, hadn't gone far when he heard the commotion and turned back, asking: "What's all the hubbub about?"

  Magistrate Xu signaled to him to listen, and Director Li leaned in to hear. His face changed color as he had never encountered such a thing before. The voices sounded like at least several hundred people, the momentum was overwhelming, and it was unavoidable that his heart felt uneasy.

  Magistrate Xu said: "The people are begging for Qin's life, and we must comfort them. If not, the situation will only get worse. Lord Li, Qin is a highly skilled doctor who has practiced medicine in Jiangzhou for decades, bringing great benefits to the people. I humbly request that you immediately release Qin."

  Zhou Xuan knew that the young Lord Li couldn't swallow his pride, so he made a courtesy and said: "Lord Li, my father-in-law was framed by a villain, but you have discerned the loyal from the treacherous, and the complicated case is now clear. Please take a look, the plaintiff Jiang Zhi Jiao has already fled in fear of punishment. Shouldn't you immediately send someone to pursue him?"

  Magistrate Li immediately stepped down from the trap set by Zhou Xuan and said sternly, "We must severely punish the false accuser. Quickly bring back Assistant Jiang to this official!"

  Xu Steward immediately sent a bailiff to bring Qin Xiong out of the detention center for questioning, without rushing to arrest Jiang Assistant.

  Zhou Xuan and Qin Que, one on the left and one on the right, supported their father, Qin Bo Shi, along with Xu Ci Shi. The four of them arrived at the gate of the provincial government office, surrounded by a group of attendants. What a sight! There were people as far as the eye could see, rubbing shoulders and treading on each other's heels, everywhere was surging with crowds.

  Zhou Xuan took a closer look and saw that the leaders were Liao Yin, Xia Cuihua and her husband, as well as Hu Tong. There was also an old fellow villager standing beside them who looked familiar - wasn't this Hu Tong's father? In addition, there were several other peasant women whom he didn't recognize, but they were shouting the loudest.

  Liao Yin saw Zhou Xuan and greeted him excitedly. Zhou Xuan waved his hand at him, now was not the time for recognition.

  "County Magistrate Xu said in a loud voice: 'Everyone, fellow villagers - everyone, fellow villagers, quiet down, quiet down - '"

  No one listened to him, outside the provincial government office, people's voices were in an uproar, Xu Steward was again exhausted by wine and lust, his energy was insufficient, his voice couldn't be heard, and it seemed that the more the citizens gathered, the more numerous they became.

  Xu Xianling hastily said to Zhou Xuan: "Zhou Gongzi, you are young, shout and say that Qin Daifu has been released."

  Zhou Xuan shouted loudly: "Halt!"

  Zhou Xuan's roar was majestic and powerful, almost as loud as Zhang Fei's shout when he drank at Dangyang Bridge. The front rows of civilians were stunned, Liao Yin and the others had already closed their mouths, and the people behind them heard that the front suddenly became quiet, and they also became quiet one after another.

  Zhou Xuan had two bailiffs carry his father-in-law on their shoulders, making him appear high and mighty. He shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, Qin Doctor has been released without guilt, tomorrow he will go to the medical office for a diagnosis, thank you fellow villagers, everyone can disperse now."

  Dr. Qin was so moved that he rode on the shoulders of two bailiffs, bowing repeatedly, while Qin Que worriedly looked up at him, fearing that his father might accidentally fall off.
