Chapter 405 Ye Tianjiao is looking for someone
Ji Xuan angrily slammed the table: "What a bunch of unruly people!"
Suddenly, there were bursts of drums and noise outside.
Prefect Xue frowned and asked, "Who is beating the drum and making a noise outside?"
A yamen runner ran in with a panicked look on his face: "Sir, there is a man outside claiming to be from the Ye family of Qingzhou. He said he has something important to discuss with you."
When Prefect Xue heard this, he rejected it coldly: "Don't you see that I have a distinguished guest here? Let's talk about it later."
"But sir, the man is determined to see you, and I and others cannot stop him."
As the bailiff finished speaking, there was a "bang" and the bailiff who was blocking the door was kicked to the ground, and a woman rushed in.
The woman was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was dressed in a red dress and looked heroic, pretty and charming. She was holding a long whip in her hand and wielding it with great vigor.
"Snapped!"
The woman hit the ground with her sharp whip, mixed with anger.
"Isn't Master Xue here? How dare you, a bunch of yamen runners, lie to me?"
The princess, Magistrate Xue and others were startled and panicked by the person who suddenly broke in.
Seeing that it was a little girl, Magistrate Xue's face darkened and he angrily shouted, "Where did this little kid come from? How dare you break into the magistrate's office?"
"I will not punish you because you are young. Take your people and leave immediately!"
Ye Tianjiao's almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger, and he scolded: "Is this how Magistrate Xue treats people who seek justice?"
"A request for grievance?"
Prefect Xue was slightly stunned, then his face turned cold: "Little girl, if you have a grievance, you can go to the county government office. What's the point of looking for me?"
"Besides, do you know that in this dynasty, if you file a complaint against someone above your authority, you will be punished with forty strokes of the cane?"
Ye Tianjiao shouted impatiently: "I don't care whether there is caning or not, I am here to find someone!"
Upon hearing this, Prefect Xue's face immediately darkened: "If you want to find someone, you shouldn't come to me."
He waved his hand and said, "That's enough. I don't have time to deal with your trivial matters. Please leave now."
How could Ye Tianjiao leave?
"no!"
"I want an explanation from you today!" When Magistrate Xue saw Ye Tianjiao making a fuss, he immediately became angry and shouted to the yamen runners.
"Why don't you pull him down!"
"Who dares to touch me!"
Ye Tianjiao was extremely angry and swung her whip at the bailiff who came to arrest her.
"Snapped!--"
Prefect Xue's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Rebellion!"
Ye Tianjiao glared at Prefect Xue, then his eyes fell on the few people behind her, one of whom was wearing bright yellow clothing with a dragon pattern!
She is not stupid. In the whole world, the only ones who can wear bright yellow dragon patterns are the crown prince and the princess!
Thinking of what he had found out before and the rumors he had heard outside the government office, his face looked ugly, but more of it was panic and anxiety.
He immediately shouted, "Your Highness, I have something to ask you."
Prefect Xue's face darkened and he shouted coldly, "How dare you!"
"Who are you to dare to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Ye Tianjiao said coldly: "The person I'm looking for is related to Her Royal Highness, so I have to ask clearly!"
Prefect Xue was furious: "Nonsense! What does your finding someone have to do with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"I think you are just being unreasonable. Leave now if you know what's best for you, or I will give you a beating."
Ye Tianjiao was so angry that his face turned blue. The governor Yuan Zhen beside him slowly opened his mouth and made a suggestion.
"Master Xue, why don't you listen to what she wants to say?"
Prefect Xue looked slightly unhappy, staring at Yuan Zhen and said, "Sir Yuan, this woman made a scene in the government office, her origins are unknown, and it is obvious that she is not a good person."
"Perhaps this person is in league with those who want to frame the princess. What if she hurts the three princesses? Can you bear the consequences of this crime?"
"Master Xue is overthinking."
Yuan Zhen raised his eyes to look at Ye Tianjiao, pursing his lips slightly: "This official sees that this girl has a full forehead, clear eyes, and a look of fatigue and worry. I think she is indeed troubled by the matter of finding someone as she said."
Prefect Xue sneered and looked over with contempt and ridicule: "When did Lord Yuan learn to read people's fortunes?"
"Can you easily make a conclusion based on just words? Then what's the point of holding a court to judge the case?"
