Chapter 43

Xue Jingguang didn't want to go at first, but when he thought that Xie Qingyun was the daughter of his father's benefactor, he was worried that something would happen to her if she went alone.

So I had to bite the bullet and follow.

Xie Qingyun took the piece of paper she had been writing on all night and knocked on the prefect's door without hesitation.

Yinsheng Yinyue felt vaguely ominous when she heard the powerful knock on the door.

The servant of the Jiangnan magistrate quickly came to open the door and glanced at Xie Qingyun with an expressionless face.

His eyes turned to Xue Jingguang, who was behind her, and his eyes moved.

"I wonder why you two girls are knocking on the door?" He tried to sound respectful.

Xue Jingguang is a famous talented woman in Jiangnan, but she is also the most radical woman. Everyone in Jiangnan knows this.

She clamored to take part in the imperial examination every day, and she didn't look like a lady.

When the magistrate's servants saw her, they felt troubled.

But after all, she was the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and she had a high official position. Even if the prefect Wang himself came, he would not dare to be disrespectful to her.

Xie Qingyun said: "I have something to discuss with the prefect."

Servant: "..."

He didn't know where the woman in front of him got the courage to talk to the prefect.

But Xue Jingguang was right behind her.

After weighing the situation, the servant reluctantly said, "Please wait a moment," and turned back to report.

They didn't keep them waiting for too long, and soon saw another man who looked like he had some official position coming out: "Master Magistrate, please invite the two girls in."

Xue Jingguang was a little uneasy and pulled Xie Qingyun: "Miss Huang, it's still too late for us to go back now."

Once the piece of paper is handed over to the prefect, she will not be able to protect Xie Qingyun.

However, the latter had already stepped through the door without hesitation.

Looks confident.

Xie Qingyun faced the prefect, handed over the thousands of names she had spent all night signing, and said straight to the point: "The women of the country want to use this book to tell the prefect to convey it to the present emperor. The women of Qi also want to participate in the imperial examination." Determination."

The prefect had an "I knew it" expression on his face.

When he heard the servants mention the word Xue Jingguang, he guessed that they were probably here because of the imperial examination.

I heard that some time ago she was looking for people to sign autographs everywhere in Jiangnan City.

The prefect looked at the rolled up paper on the table that had not yet been unfolded.

Couldn't it be this one?
I heard that they didn't find many people willing to sign, but the paper looked a bit thick.

The prefect resisted the urge to ridicule and coughed lightly: "Okay, I understand. I will read this paper later. You two girls, please go back and wait for the news."

Xue Jingguang pulled Xie Qingyun.

Xie Qingyun nodded to express her understanding.Then he said: "Why can't you open it now, sir?"

Xue Jingguang: "?"

Did she mean that?

Being urged to do something, the magistrate began to get a little impatient.

After all, he is also a prefect, and he has to manage the entire Jiangnan. He has no time to play games with two little girls.

"I am not free now." The prefect said stiffly.

"Why aren't you free?" Xie Qingyun asked.

Aren’t the demands of the people the greatest?
Is this how the officials she carefully selects to feed, clothe, feed, and treat the people's demands?
"If you act like an official, I will be very disappointed in you."

Prefect: "???"

Xue Jingguang: "???"

Yinsheng Yinyue: "..." Dare not speak.

The prefect no longer wanted to reason with the girl in front of him who didn't look very clear.

He planned to simply order them out.

However, before he could speak, a servant came to report: "Sir! Jin, Jin, Jin..."

The prefect was puzzled: "What are you nervous about? Nervous? Don't be nervous. Speak slowly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yunyang, who was wearing a black robe and looking murderous, walked in with someone.

The magistrate's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and it took him a long time to speak: "Jin Yiwei..."

Local officials rarely see Jin Yiwei, and if they do, it means they will be demoted and their homes will be confiscated.

However, this group of Jin Yiwei didn't seem to have any intention of catching him.

The leader just glanced at the woman in the hall: "Is your Excellency reviewing a case?"

The magistrate hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, they are just ordinary people. I will drive them out now!" Yun Yang stared at him and said in a bad tone: "Is this what you do as an official? Just drive out the people casually?"

Magistrate: "...?"

He didn't know when Jin Yiwei started to care about the people.

But after receiving Yunyang's threatening gaze, the magistrate had no choice but to look at Xie Qingyun: "Wait a moment, I will take a look now."

He planned to take a brief look, and then quickly get rid of these two troublesome girls on the grounds that there were not enough people on the paper.

But when he unfolded the paper, the prefect was stunned on the spot.

Because the paper was densely covered with names.

Different handwriting, different style of writing.

It was obviously not written by one person.

This...is different from the news he heard.

What surprised the prefect even more was that the names on it were not limited to Jiangnan, but spread all over the country.

The prefect's hand holding the paper trembled a little.

Except for Jiangnan City, every one of the names on this list could crush him to death.

The prefect wiped his sweat: "This..."

This matter was too big, and he really couldn't make the decision.

"Your Majesty... you can submit this piece of paper to His Majesty for judgment."

He was careful and in a consultative tone.

This is exactly what Xie Qingyun needs.

All she wanted was a reason to order.

"Okay." She nodded, obviously satisfied with this solution.

Xue Jingguang was stunned.

After hearing this answer, I didn't know what to do for a while.

Presented to the emperor?

Did Miss Huang commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?

"Sir!" Xue Jingguang said hurriedly.

The prefect looked over.

Yunyang also looked over.

Xue Jingguang resisted the pressure, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with Miss Huang. It was all done by a common woman."

If it is reported to the emperor, just mention her name.

After all, she is the daughter of the Minister of Rites, so even if she is blamed, there is a high probability that she can save her life.

Although Xue Jingguang is not sure.

But she knew that if she didn't take responsibility, Miss Huang, who had no background, would never survive.

The prefect nodded: "Okay, okay."

It doesn't matter who it is.

As long as it's not him.

The prefect looked at Yunyang and said with a flattering tone, "Sir, do you think this is okay?"

Yunyang crossed his arms and said coldly: "What do you ask me for? This request was not made by me."

The prefect quickly turned to Xue Jingguang: "Miss Xue, do you think this can be solved?"

Xue Jingguang felt that all the strength in his body was about to be drained. When he heard the prefect ask, he reluctantly nodded.

If the magistrate encounters an amnesty, he quickly looks back at Yunyang: "Sir..."

Yunyang was a little impatient and waved his hand.

He took his men and left without looking back.

The prefect was left confused.

"Since your lord has promised to present it to the emperor, we will go back and wait for news from your lord."

Xie Qingyun also supported Xue Jingguang and prepared to leave.

In the empty lobby, only the prefect was left sitting slumped in shock.

He must be crazy.

He must be crazy to have the illusion that Jin Yiwei is here just for this matter.
