Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 280 I will definitely keep you safe

The letter making the wish was sent out more than a month ago.

Those who can receive the letter have also been carefully selected by the wisher.

Most of these people were disciples of the Xu family, and they had always helped the Xu family when the family was in trouble.

However, Xu Yuan was still a little worried.

After all, more than 20 years have passed, and many people have passed away. Their descendants may not remember the Xu family's kindness, and some people were even wiped out because of the Xu family.

The human heart cannot be seen or guessed.

She could only choose the safest way.

Therefore, Xu Yuan was not angry about the man's doubts, but spoke patiently: "I know that everyone will doubt my identity and think that I am not a descendant of the Xu family. They will also think that this is another trap, and the purpose is to cut off the roots."

Everyone looked at Xu Yuan, including Qiu Ying, the man who had questioned Xu Yuan earlier.

Qiu Ying's ancestors were from the capital. His father studied in the Xu family's private school in his early years, passed the imperial examination, and later served as the Minister of the Dali Temple. He was also a disciple of the Xu family.

When the Xu family got into trouble, he was the first person to speak up for the Xu family, and he was also the first person to be banished from the capital.

When receiving the letter of wish making, Mr. Qiu's eyes were blurred with tears. He sighed that God had eyes and the Xu family had a successor. He was also excited that someone had finally overturned the verdict for the Xu family.

However, he was a county magistrate and held an official position, so it was inconvenient for him to leave his jurisdiction. So he sent his son to Beijing to redress the Xu family on his behalf.

Qiu Ying knew that the Xu family was a noble family, and he also understood that the Xu family had suffered an injustice, but he also knew that it had been more than 20 years since the incident.

If there were really survivors in the Xu family, why did it take so many years to redress their injustice?

Rather than thinking that the young man in front of him was a descendant of the Xu family, Qiu Ying felt that this was more like a Hongmen Banquet.

The purpose is to completely eradicate the followers of the Xu family.

"Are you from the Xu family? Just take off your bamboo hat and let us take a look. Although I am young and don't know anyone from the Xu family, many people here have seen Prime Minister Xu. If you are real, we will help you with all our strength. If you are fake, I will make sure you can't leave this room today."

Qiu Ying's eyes were cold.

"That's right. Take off the hat and I will know whether it is real or fake at a glance." An old man echoed.

Mrs. Hua felt a little embarrassed when she saw that Xu Yuan was unmoved.

She had also seen Xu Yuan, and Xu Yuan was indeed not like his father.

Moreover, it is impossible to see people’s true face when making a wish.

After thinking it over, Lady Hua came out and said, "If you don't trust him, you should trust me. I am a maidservant of Queen Xu. I have stayed in the capital for more than 20 years just to redress the injustice of the Xu family. I am willing to swear on my life that this young master is indeed a descendant of the Xu family."

Qiu Ying said: "What's the point of asking you to swear? What we want is the real descendants of the Xu family."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan sighed softly and finally said, "It's not that I intentionally hide my identity, but I have stayed in the capital for several months to collect evidence. You all are worried about me, and I am also worried that if the news leaks out, I will be killed."

Qiu Ying was choked with anger.

Many people looked at each other and nodded, saying, "This... makes sense."

Xu Yuan added, "Now I have called everyone to the capital to do only one thing, to redress the Xu family. It does not matter what relationship I have with you. If you want to help, you can stay. If you do not want to, I have already discussed with Madam Hua and will give you money as travel expenses. The rest is to repay you for your kindness to the Xu family in the past."

After making the wish, Madam Hua opened the cabinet in front of her, which was full of silver and money.

However, no one came here for money, so after taking a look, they all looked away.

Qiu Ying asked, "We all came from other places. Although some of us are from the capital, we have been away from the capital for decades. How can we help you?"

"I have already prepared all the evidence to overturn the Xu family's case. You don't need to do anything. I just hope that on the Qingming Festival, when the Xu family's case is retried, everyone can go to the Dali Temple to clear the Xu family's name."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then continued, "Everyone should know that it is very difficult to overturn the case for the Xu family, because the real culprit behind the scenes is a high-ranking official of the court. Even if there is enough evidence, it may not succeed. So, if you don't want to go, I won't force you."

After making the wish, the whole room fell silent.

It’s not like they haven’t vindicated the Xu family before, but the ending is always the same…

dead.

On the day of Qingming Festival, perhaps the ending will still be the same.

But, innocent people should not bear the stigma.

An old man with gray hair stood up and said, "No matter if you are a descendant of the Xu family or not, no matter if you have evidence or not, if you dare to overturn the case for the Xu family, I will believe you. For the Xu family, I will not hesitate to die."

As soon as one person finished speaking, countless people echoed him.

"That's right. Without the Xu family, there would be no us. It's not the Xu family that put us in trouble, but the real murderer who framed the Xu family. We want justice for ourselves and for the Xu family. Count me in for redress."

"Count me in too."

"Add me."

"I also need to go!"

A group of people in the room were very enthusiastic, but Qiu Ying just watched Xuyuan.

After everyone had expressed their opinions, Qiu Ying said, "If the Dali Temple does not accept the case, how can it be tried? If it does not reach the ears of the emperor, who can vindicate the Xu family?"

Qiu Ying still didn't quite believe it.

"Don't worry. Since I have planned this far, I must have made sufficient arrangements. On Qingming Festival, if someone takes over the Xu family's case, it won't be too late to go. If not, Madam Hua will help me arrange for everyone."

At the end, Xu Yuan's voice became quieter, but after a moment, she continued: "Everyone can rest assured, you are here for the Xu family, I will definitely keep you safe."

If the Xu family case had not been brought up on Qingming Festival, there would be only one possibility: the emperor wanted to cover up the matter.

If that's the case, then all her efforts are in vain.

All she could do was protect the people in front of her.

But I still want to take a gamble, betting that water can carry a boat or capsize it.

"You are not responsible for my life or death. As long as you really want to redress the Xu family, and as long as the Dali Temple dares to take this case, I, Qiu Ying, am willing to be the drummer and beat the first drum to redress the Xu family!"

Qiu Ying has a loud voice.

He patted his chest and said, "My father was the former Supreme Court Justice. The biggest regret in his life was that he could not restore the reputation of the Xu family. As his son, I should take the lead in this matter."

"I will also go and beat the drum to appeal for justice."

"Take me with you."

"In that case, let's go together on Qingming Festival!"

"That's right, we'll go together. As long as this matter is big enough, there's no need to worry that the emperor won't know about it!"
