Chapter 34: Acquittal
The person was brought in, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Song Miqiu couldn't help but be curious and looked the person up and down, only to find that he didn't recognize the person at all.
Even his figure was different from the person he had seen yesterday.
To be honest, this person is actually taller, but what doesn't match his physique at all is that his face is just too ordinary.
Song Miqiu felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
When the magistrate saw this man again, he immediately smiled obsequiously and was about to flatter him when he saw the man raise his hand.
"There's no need to say anything more. I was just passing by, so I thought I'd come and watch you solve the case. I'll leave after I'm done."
Having said all that, the magistrate naturally knew that the man did not like to be disturbed.
"Yes, yes, yes! We're keeping the two sides in a standoff; you can watch at your leisure."
"No, I'm pressed for time, and I've heard about this case too. It shouldn't take too long, right?"
I sensed the threat in this person's words; it seems he probably didn't know where this lord had heard the news from.
The magistrate was immediately filled with immense panic.
As if he had read the man's mind, he spoke again in a low voice.
"You don't need to worry. As long as you act impartially, I will also keep my eyes open when judging people."
These words gave him an opportunity!
"Yes! I will certainly adjudicate the case fairly and justly!"
At this moment, money and wealth become unimportant in the face of one's own life.
All the people saw was the magistrate adjusting his official hat and then sitting down in the same spot.
However, this time, everyone clearly noticed that the magistrate's aura had changed.
Although Song Miqiu didn't know if it was a coincidence, it was clear that the appearance of this person had changed her future.
"You people below! Quickly tell me your grievances!"
Those people were still a little confused, but since the adults had asked, they naturally had to answer obediently.
However, the answer was exactly the same as before.
Since they are paid to do things, they naturally cannot afford to make any mistakes.
The expressions on the faces of the others listening were rather subtle.
Even Song Miqiu was watching them with a look of anticipation, as if he were watching a good show.
However, what she didn't notice was that the adult who had just come in was also looking her up and down.
But it was only a glance; the man just stood there, saying nothing.
However, this alone was enough to change the magistrate's attitude.
Those who had colluded with the county magistrate to frame Song Miqiu were now completely dumbfounded!
After they finished speaking, the adults did not target the old woman as agreed, but instead treated it as a normal case and questioned them one by one!
But they couldn't withstand such a test at all, because they were just making empty promises!
So after just a few words of confrontation, their side was left speechless and stammering.
Seeing the pleading looks in those people's eyes, the magistrate chose to turn a blind eye, as if he couldn't see them.
Those outside breathed a sigh of relief. "Judging from this, Old Madam Song should be alright this time."
"This is wonderful! I just don't know who is so disgusting as to do such a thing behind the scenes. It's not easy for an old lady to raise her son and her daughter-in-law to run a business, yet they would do something so cruel."
For a time, almost everyone was cursing the person behind this.
Song Miqiu knew nothing about these things, nor did she want to know.
"Since you have no evidence, this matter needs to be investigated. Song Miqiu is hereby released without charge!"
If the other party has no other way out, it is not normal for them to keep detaining people like this.
Unless the other party produces evidence, they will arrest the criminal again.
But before that, they would absolutely not touch Song Miqiu again.
"Thank you, sir, for clearing my name! You are wise indeed!"
Song Miqiu spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, but there was little gratitude in his tone.
It was nothing more than a business transaction, just going through the motions.
But right after she finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the man who had remained silent the entire time.
"Thank you, sir. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness today. If there is anything you need me to do, please feel free to ask."
For Song Miqiu, this person could be considered to have saved his life.
If it weren't for his appearance, I might already be lying there getting a beating.
However, Song Miqiu could also tell that this person was not good with words, so after speaking, he waited a few seconds and then got up on his own.
Then, without looking back, he left the county government office.
She had been to this place once before, and it had already left a deep impression on her.
Moreover, this trip wasn't entirely fruitless; at the very least, she learned that the people behind her were likely from a powerful organization.
Moreover, those people should be watching me all the time, so now I have to be wary not only of Yu Huailin, but also of those behind me, who may discover my abnormality at any time.
As she stepped out of the government office, the people outside congratulated her and made way for her.
Song Miqiu thanked each of them, because she could tell that their feelings were very sincere and that they genuinely hoped for her safety.
Regardless of the reason, Song Miqiu will remember this kindness.
At that moment, she also noticed that her son was outside, waiting for her.
As soon as Qiu Tianlei saw his mother come out, he couldn't wait to go up and check on her.
However, before he could even speak, Song Miqiu stopped him.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go home first. I need to go back and get some rest."
Qiu Tianlei cursed himself for being stupid. This was no good place, and his mother had been detained here for a day and a night. How could he have been so inconsiderate, even planning to fuss over her here!
So he hurriedly helped his mother back home.
Although he wanted to speak several times along the way, Qiu Tianlei ultimately held back.
Nothing is more important than my mother getting a good rest!
However, upon returning, Song Miqiu immediately discovered that Yu Huailin was nowhere to be found!
Song Miqiu found it strange that he would leave at this critical juncture.
"Qiu Tianlei, have you seen Yu Huailin? Did he say anything to you before he left?"
Qiu Tianlei shook his head, "I haven't come back since Mother was arrested yesterday, so I don't know what happened."
But it would be better if this man really left!
Qiu Tianlei dislikes him the most right now!
