Several people came to the gate of the prefectural government, "Please go in and report to the prefect and the imperial envoy that a god has come to our Yingzhou city and has calculated that it will rain in two days."
"This must be a trick by some Taoist priest who has no money to eat and comes to Yingzhou to get free food and drinks. There are too many people who have no money to eat these days, and they think of all kinds of ways to get free food and drinks. It's really disgusting."
"It's not a Taoist priest, it's a teenage girl."
"This girl is extremely courageous."
"This girl is really a fairy. Go in and inform the master immediately. Don't keep the fairy waiting for too long."
"If it's fake, I will definitely be scolded by the adults."
"We have witnessed the power of the fairy lady with our own eyes. Can you bear the responsibility of angering her?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report."
The doorman came to the main hall, where the Imperial Commissioner Wang was discussing with the prefect how to distribute relief grain.
"grown ups……"
"How can you be so impatient? Can't you see the Imperial Envoy is here?"
"Reporting to the Lord, several people came to the gate. They said that a fairy lady came from Yingzhou and said it would rain within two days."
"He's not a liar!"
"The people said they witnessed the magical power of the fairy lady, which was indeed amazing."
"Sir, why don't you go and see if it's true? It's better to believe it than not to believe it."
"Alright."
"This imperial envoy will accompany the prefect to see if this is true or not."
"Master Wang, please..."
The two gentlemen came to the gate of the mansion, "I, a humble citizen, greet the two gentlemen."
"You were the ones who said that a fairy lady came to our Yingzhou."
"Yes, sir."
"Lead the way."
They took the two adults to the inn, followed by many guards and security guards from the prefecture. From a distance they saw many people gathered at the entrance of the inn.
"Move aside, the prefect and the imperial envoy are here."
The people immediately made way for the two adults to pass.
They saw a girl of about twelve or thirteen, standing at the door of the inn in casual clothes, which gave them a feeling of the king's return.
"My Lords, this is the Fairy Lady."
When the prefect saw the shopkeeper lying on the ground, he immediately had a bad premonition.
"Hello, Imperial Envoy, Hello, Prefect."
"You are what the people call the Fairy Lady."
"That's exactly me."
"You said it would rain heavily in two days, didn't you?"
"I calculated that it will rain heavily in the next two days, but..."
"But what?"
"You Yingzhou have committed many sins. If you do not punish the criminals, the rain will definitely not fall. God will continue to punish you Yingzhou until the water source is gone. The people will have no water to drink and the fields will have no water to irrigate. In the end, it will become a dead city."
"You are misleading us with lies. Although we have been experiencing drought for a long time in Yingzhou, it is not as bad as you said. It is just a little less than before."
"Sir, have you ever taken a look at the fields? They are so dry that cracks appear in them. Crops can no longer be planted. If this continues, the people will have no water to drink."
"Didn't the imperial envoy come to Yingzhou to provide disaster relief? If the court does not help the people, they will have no food to eat and will flee their homes and become refugees. Is this the result that the prefect wants to see?"
"This is nonsense. Come, arrest this girl who is spreading rumors and interrogate her strictly to see if she is a spy sent by another country."
A dozen guards ran out from the crowd and rushed forward.
Xi Lingxue condensed her true energy and slapped down with one palm. A cold light flashed and they instantly vomited blood.
The two adults were stunned at the sight of such a young man with such amazing martial arts skills.
"A bunch of losers can't even deal with a yellow-haired girl."
"Don't waste your energy, Lord Zhizhou. You are no match for me even if you all attack me together. Are you eager to capture me and kill me to silence me?"
"I, an official, have done nothing wrong and am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door. I arrested you because you spread rumors and made the people panic."
"Oh! It turns out that the prefect is always thinking about the people."
"Of course."
"Miss, I am the imperial envoy sent by the emperor. You can tell me what sins Yingzhou has committed and I can make the decision for the people of Yingzhou."
"Master Wang, don't listen to a little girl's nonsense."
"Sir, can you let the girl finish her words? Or are you really guilty and want to kill her to silence her?"
"Sir Wang, I don't think you need to waste your time on a child who is full of lies. Let's go to the mansion to deal with the disaster relief matter."
The imperial envoy angrily rebuked: "Sir, why do you insist on stopping the child from speaking? Do you have some secret that you don't want me to know?"
"Sir Wang, I am doing the right thing and I am not afraid of any thorough investigation by you."
"In that case, let the child finish speaking."
"My Lord, can I trust you?"
"Miss, I am an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor himself. I will only eliminate harm for the people and punish evildoers."
"Okay, I believe you. If you dare to go along with the prefect, I will personally sue you in front of the emperor when we get to Daliang."
"Everyone testified for me."
"Fairy, we all heard what the Imperial Envoy said."
The prefect hurriedly tried to stop him, "Master Wang..."
Xi Lingxue instantly pressed the prefect's acupoints and mute point to stop him from chattering and being annoying.
She took out four pieces of confession evidence from the space and placed them in front of the imperial envoy.
"Your Excellency, these are the testimonies of multiple witnesses. The innkeeper drugged and trafficked people, and the prefect was involved."
The imperial envoy looked at the black and white words written on the paper and saw that women and children were being trafficked every day. It was truly abominable.
But in order to verify it, we still need to ask the witness, "Did you write all these by hand?"
"Your Excellency, we confessed this willingly. We are indeed trafficking in human beings. The prefect is our backer. Eighty percent of the money earned from selling human beings in the store goes into the hands of the prefect."
"Every time I give you money, I have recorded it in a book. It is in the innermost compartment of my counter. Your Excellency can send someone to look for it."
The guard behind the imperial envoy hurriedly walked to the counter and soon found an account book in the mezzanine. The account book had turned yellow and must be quite old.
The guard handed the account book to the imperial envoy. He looked through the accounts and found that there were records for every month, and there was a considerable amount of silver, which was enough to prove that what the innkeeper said was true.
The people standing at the door were all filled with resentment. It turned out that the person who had angered God was the prefect. It was he who caused the long drought in Yingzhou. He was the culprit.
All the people knelt down and begged: "Your Excellency, you must make a decision for us. The prefect, as a local official, has done such a heinous thing. This is unforgivable to the gods and the people."
"His crimes were so heinous that the gods were irritated and punished Yingzhou, and the people suffered as a result. Such evil people must not be let off."
"Everyone, please stand up quickly. The evidence is here. The prefect cannot escape the blame. This imperial envoy will report this to the emperor for his decision."
Xi Lingxue pressed the prefect's acupoints and mute points, making him unable to move or speak, but he looked at Xi Lingxue with vicious eyes.
It was all because of this yellow-haired girl that I ended up in this situation.
"Your Excellency, I have subdued several of my accomplices in a remote area in the suburbs. Please send someone to capture them."
"Chen Yi, take a dozen guards with you."
"We, mother and daughter, will lead the way for you."
"Thank you."
"Someone take the prefect to the prison and wait for the emperor's decision."
"Yes."
The guards carried the prefect toward the yamen.
The imperial envoy looked at the calm and composed Xi Lingxue and could not find any trace of a child in her. Instead, she had the aura of a king. This child will definitely be extraordinary when she grows up.
"Thanks for your help, young lady. I can solve this problem easily."
"The Emperor sent me here to provide disaster relief openly and to investigate this matter secretly."
Xi Lingxue thought to herself: My adopted father even knew to send people to investigate secretly. He should be considered a good emperor. At least he knew how to care about the suffering of the people.
"Miss, what's your name?"
"My master gave me the name Ye Ling'er."
"What a nice name. Why was it given by your master and not by your parents?"
"My parents cruelly abandoned me when I was born, and I was raised by my master."
Xi Lingxue was giving him a heads-up in advance that she was a child abandoned by her parents.
These two things soon reached the ears of the Emperor of Wei, paving the way for the future.
She then took out a confession from Magistrate Wu and handed it to the imperial commissioner.
"This is the confession of the Pingyang County Magistrate. I kept a backup copy. I wonder if the Shuozhou Governor has handed over the charges against Magistrate Wu to the Emperor."
"I have reported this to the Emperor, and he has personally ordered an investigation into the matter. Did you, Miss Ye, order the distribution of Magistrate Wu's warehouses and granaries to the people?"
"Did i do something wrong?"
"Yes, it was a bit presumptuous. You did what the emperor should have done in advance. However, the emperor was kind and did not blame you. Instead, he praised you for your courage."
"I also admire your courage and bravery. Most children would not dare to do such a thing."
"Because I'm not an ordinary kid."
"It is indeed extraordinary. This incident is also true. I admire it."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency."
"Miss Ye, you said it will rain in two days, is it true?"
"Of course it's true. It will definitely rain no later than tomorrow afternoon."
"how do you know?"
"I know everything about astronomy and geography. Things like this can't be hidden from me."
Everyone looked at Xi Lingxue in surprise. Some people thought she was just bragging, but Imperial Envoy Wang believed that what she said was true.
"If your parents knew how powerful you are, they would definitely regret their decision."
Xi Lingxue smiled coldly: "Maybe!"
The matter was handed over to the imperial envoy and he no longer had to worry about it. He originally wanted to leave the next day, but when he woke up in the morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it started to rain heavily at 9:00 p.m.
Everyone was ecstatic looking at the heavy rain, and believed even more that Xi Lingxue was the fairy sent by God.
Now the people of Pingyang County respectfully call her their benefactor, and the people of the entire Yingzhou City respectfully call her the Fairy Lady.
