Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

In less than a cup of tea, the doctor arrived first.

"The doctor is here Miss Ran."

The doctor put the medicine box next to Shang Zijun and squatted down to check the wound. The injury was not light and he was afraid that the internal organs were injured.

"Oh, what a mess, you little kids..."

After the doctor finished the treatment, Qian Jingyang also came over with the yamen runners. The empress dowager's token was of great importance, so the prefect naturally had to be present in person to deal with it.

"Oh my god, oh my god."

The prefect took a look at Ran Qianxi, and knowing that her identity was unusual, and that she had the empress dowager's token in her hand, he directly grabbed Shen Yanle.

"Take them all away!"

"It's an adult."

Although no one at the scene informed the situation, Shen Yanxiao from the middle class of Class A ran home and informed Shen Ke about it.

Imperial City Government Office

Ran Qianxi had the imperial decree in her hand, so she stood in the hall, while Shen Yanle and Shang Zijun knelt on the ground.

"Who are you kneeling to?"

"I am the daughter of the Minister of Justice..."

When the prefect heard the words "Minister of Justice", he broke out in a cold sweat.

"What about you? Why do you have the Queen Mother's token? Did you steal it?"

Ran Qianxi knew from his expression that he wanted to protect his fellow officials.

"I am the daughter of the president of the Hanlin Academy, Ran Qianxi. The token was given to me by the Empress Dowager."

Each one had a higher status than the last, which frightened the prefect so much that he dared not make a judgment and became even more sweaty.

"Should I kneel, sir?"

With the Empress Dowager's decree in hand, even the prime minister would not dare to make her kneel, so the prefect quickly waved his hand.

"Miss Ran, you don't have to kneel...um...tell the whole story from the beginning."

Ran Qianxi was about to tell her story when a bailiff suddenly came forward and whispered to the prefect, who looked conflicted.

"Ah... this... I already know the whole story. Shang Zijun, the eldest son of the Shang family, wanted to molest Miss Shen, and Miss Shen was just defending herself. I now pronounce the verdict..."

"and many more!"

Before the prefect could finish his words, he was frightened by Ran Qianxi. Shen Ke was simply lawless. He broke the law knowingly and even bribed the prefect.

"What the hell are you talking about? I'm holding the Queen Mother's token, and you still dare to judge me like this? Don't you want to be an official anymore?"

The prefect was shocked. He couldn't offend anyone on both sides, so he could only use the merchant family to take the blame.

Shang Zilai and Qian Jingyang clenched their fists nervously outside the hall.

"You...you...you don't even know if your token is real or fake...how dare you roar in court..."

It was the first time that Ran Qianxi was laughed at by someone. No one dared to stop her when she walked forward with the token.

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look. This is a gift from the Queen Mother herself. Do you want me to invite the Queen Mother here before you dare to handle the case impartially?"

The prefect looked at the token carefully. He had never been so panicked even in the ten years of judging a confusing case.

"Is it real?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Ran Qianxi proudly put the token on her waist and walked away with a swagger.

"So is it possible to judge this case?"

"I can judge."

As soon as the prefect fell on the chopping block and was about to impose a heavy sentence, Shen Ke arrived alone.

"and many more."

Another sentence "wait a minute" frightened the prefect again. He had been sitting on the position of prefect for ten years without living up to his title, and never dared to think that such a day would come.

"Dad, save me."

Shen Ke glared at Shen Yanle. He knew very well what his daughter was like.

"I have witnesses here to prove that Shang Zijun deliberately flirted with my daughter, and she accidentally hurt him. Even if Miss Ran has the Queen Mother's token, the prefect must handle the case impartially."

The prefect rolled his eyes at the four people in the court and decided not to take such cases involving officials in the court anymore.

"What does Minister Shen mean?"

"This fellow flirted with my daughter, he should be castrated."

Shang Zilai was instantly panic-stricken and a drop of sweat flowed down his forehead. The people in the hall were whispering to each other, with different opinions.

"I think it's still officials protecting each other."

"That's right. This foolish prefect has been sentencing people to foolish cases for more than a decade. I think he should be dismissed from office."

"No!"

Ran Qianxi rolled her eyes at Shen Ke, feeling as disgusted as if she had stepped on shit.

"Fuck you..."

Shen Ke frowned. She dared to insult the imperial official in public.

Ran Qianxi smiled indifferently, realizing that he was planning another big one.

"What? What are you thinking of? How are you going to sentence me for insulting an official? I'll probably give you a few slaps at most. Your daughter is a bad girl. She intentionally hurt someone, and you, the Minister of Justice, still break the law. It's worth it to punish you two first and then get beaten."

"You little yellow-haired girl, don't cause trouble for your father."

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. How dare you control my father?"

"you!"

Ran Qianxi took out the token and walked around the court.

"Today I finally know that this imperial government is your lackey, right? Then I will go to the Dali Temple and sue you for accepting bribes and protecting the officials, okay? If I sue you, your daughter will be at your mercy."

"You are so brave!"

"Haha, I've always been timid, but it's a fact that your daughter intentionally hurt someone. Someone has to fight against you evil forces. They don't dare... Hey~ I have the token, so I dare..."

Shen Ke was speechless. Ran Qianxi might be just a young girl to him, but her father was highly valued by the emperor and her mother had the Queen Mother as her backer. It would not be wise to delay any further. The case must be judged quickly!

"Di Fuyin, you are still standing there, don't you know the laws of Dachang? Hurry up and judge!"

The prefect Di hesitated and dared not make a verdict, cold sweat had already dripped onto the chopping board!

"this…"

"Is it difficult?"

A cool voice came from outside the door, and everyone turned around to look. Tan Qianhuan walked into the lobby without any soldiers. The prefect was so scared that he hurried forward to greet him, and Shen Ke also bent down.

"Your humble servant pays respect to the King of Jibei."

"Your humble servant pays respect to the King of Jibei."

Tan Qianhuan glanced at the two of them coldly and sat down in the main hall.

"No need to be polite."

Hou Fuyin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked over.

"I wonder what important matter has brought you here, Your Majesty?"

Tan Qianhuan smiled gently.

"Nothing else, let's watch the prefect judge the case, the prefect continues."

The Marquis walked back to the desk tremblingly.

"According to the investigation, there is solid evidence in the case of Shen Yanle's intentional injury today. This is a case involving important officials and we have to be cautious. Tomorrow, this government will submit it to the Dali Temple and the Supervisory Office for re-examination. Shang Zijun is not guilty and will be released. Shen Yanle will be temporarily detained and the court will be dismissed."

A small prefect could not do anything to the minister, so he could only hand him over.

The people stood outside the door, feeling relieved.

"Yes, that's the sentence!"

"That's right. Look at this prefect, he bullies the weak and fears the strong. He changed his tone when the King of Jibei came."

"The King of Jibei is wise."

"Last time it was his son who beat someone up in the street. How come he is still the minister?"

Shen Ke glanced at Ran Qianxi and left angrily.

"Godfather, are you really here?"

Tan Qianhuan approached slowly.

"If I don't come, I'm afraid your friend will suffer."

Ran Qianxi smiled and jumped onto him.

"I said that it would be no problem to ask my godfather to support us."

Tan Qianhuan was stunned. They had only known each other for one day, yet they were acted so intimately that he was a little unprepared.

"Girls should be reserved."

Ran Qianxi curled the corner of her mouth, jumped down and walked in front of Shang Zijun.

"Does your back still hurt?"

Shang Zijun slowly raised his head, and Ran Qianxi finally saw his appearance clearly: bright eyes, white teeth, handsome and fresh.

"Wow...you're so good-looking?"

Shang Zijun responded with a faint smile.

"Thank you for blocking it for me, otherwise the inkstone would have hit my head."

"It's nothing, as long as the girl isn't hurt."

Tan Qianhuan smiled, thinking that this boy might have taken a fancy to Ran Qianxi.

"I'll take you home first."

"Okay, thank you, godfather."
