The Holy Spirit's oral instructions came to him, and he wanted to judge it personally. Jiang Yunbai was imprisoned in Dali Temple because of Xue Fangfei, and wanted to meet the Holy Emperor, but Emperor Hong Xiao did not see him and wanted him to avoid suspicion. Mrs. Jiang was worried about being criticized by others, so Ji Shuran proposed to take Xue Fangfei home to manage her. She knew something about the law. As long as she did not kill her husband or her children, she could be supervised by her family. She decided to talk to the minister of Dali Temple. Jiang Yunbai sympathized with her hard work and left the matter to her.
Xiao Heng came to the prison to see Xue Fangfei and sat on the floor with her regardless of the mess. The two chatted for a long time. Xiao Heng couldn't help but remember that when he was young, in order to avenge his father, General Xiao, he also listened to the sound of the drum, so he couldn't bear to interrogate Xue Fangfei.
Ji Shuran met Duke Zhou, the minister of Dali Temple, and wanted to take Xue Fangfei home, but Duke Zhou disagreed. Ji Shuran raised two questions and moved Dayan's law out. Duke Zhou had to have Xue Fangfei handed over to the Jiang family. Xue Fangfei was surprised to see Ji Shuran. Ji Shuran asked her to go back and explain to Mrs. Jiang, asking her to take care of the honor and disgrace of the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang didn't understand why Xue Fangfei was involved in the Xue family's case, and she was worried that it would affect the future of the Jiang family. Xue Fangfei lied that she had been taken care of by Jiang Li at the Virgin Hall. She originally planned to go to Huaixiang to meet her benefactor, but she did not expect that the local people would take human life lightly. Mrs. Jiang was happy with her integrity and thought she should tell Jiang Yunbai about the matter and handle it. Xue Fangfei mentioned that this was a conspiracy of the Li family, and the reason why she came forward to help Xue Huaiyuan was also for the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang informed Jiang Yunbai of the matter, thinking that the Li family had already taken action first, and discussed how to deal with the Li family. Jiang Yunbai was worried that helping the Xue family case would cause the Li family to retaliate against him, so he hesitated. Mrs. Jiang believes that she should help Xue Fangfei at this moment and give the Li family a counterattack, and should not remain indifferent.
When the date of the trial arrived, Wan Ning chose to attend in red. Shen Yurong advised her not to play with fire and burn herself. Wan Ning asked him who he would choose if given another chance. Shen Yurong hugged Wan Ning and he said he would rather die. When Li Zhongnan saw Xue Fangfei, he took the initiative to say hello to her. He was very confident that this trial would not implicate him, and reminded Xue Fangfei that the encirclement must be Que. Xue Fangfei calmly asked him not to push people too hard. Xiao Heng appeared from behind and rescued Xue Fangfei.
Xue Fangfei knew that Li Zhongnan came prepared, and Xiao Heng told her in advance if he had something to do so that she could relax. Xue Fangfei mended the handkerchief and returned it to Xiao Heng, mentioning his life experience. At this time Jiang Yuanbai appeared, and he told Xue Fangfei not to be afraid, saying that he would make the decision for her. In the court, because the people of Huaixiang united in the case to redress the injustice of the Xue family, the case was re-tried and the Holy Father personally supervised it.
Duke Zhou interrogated Xue Fangfei, and Xue Fangfei told the story of the future. She hoped that the Holy Father would give justice to the Xue family. Wei Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, who initially tried the case, said that the witnesses and physical evidence pointed to Xue Huaiyuan. Duke Zhou believed that Xue Fangfei had new evidence, but Xue Fangfei could not present any new evidence. Li Zhongnan took this opportunity to confuse right and wrong, saying that Xue Fangfei incited people to gather in the capital to cause trouble.
Xue Fangfei asked the Holy One to convict Xue Huaiyuan. She pointed out that Xue Huaiyuan's embezzlement case was full of loopholes. It was really unjustifiable to convict him with only 5,000 taels of silver. She was extremely frightened to think about the conspiracy behind it. Xue Fangfei asked the people to testify. Wei Shilang believed that the people were bribed and could not judge based on what they said. Li Zhongnan also mentioned the Qingzhou corruption case and believed that corrupt officials would use part of the money to win people's hearts and part of the money to replace houses.
But when the imperial censor announced his family property, Xue Huaiyuan only found 5,000 taels in his family, while Magistrate Feng had 20 million taels. Xue Huaiyuan's old subordinates pledged their lives to testify for him. Wei Shilang anxiously came out to defend himself and concluded that Xue Huaiyuan was guilty. Emperor Hong Xiao saw Xue Huaiyuan's foolish and crazy look, and everyone present felt guilty. He ordered people to re-investigate the case in public, believing that it was his fault that the loyal minister was framed like this. He appreciated Xue Fangfei's courage and strategy. Xiao Heng proposed to try Xue Fangfei's prisoner robbery case. Jiang Yunbai stood up and spoke. He expressed his shame as a father. Others also seconded the proposal.
Emperor Hong Xiao asked if Xue Huaiyuan had any family members and learned that Xue Zhao had been killed and that Xue Fangfei was Shen Yurong's deceased wife. Xiao Heng ridiculed that this was a frame-up calculation that could only be done in words. Emperor Hong Xiao asked Xiao Heng to be responsible for investigating the truth about the Xue family case. Wan Ning suddenly appeared and said that Emperor Hong Xiao was being teased. She pointed out that Xue Fangfei and Jiang Li looked the same.
