When Prefect Liu saw Ran Xiangyu stand up, he smiled slightly, then he stopped smiling and turned to look at the group of servants.
"Come here, take all these slaves who intend to kill their master to jail!!"
The servants opened their mouths in shock, and only reacted when they were dragged out by the yamen runners.
"Sir, please spare my life..."
"It's unfair, Your Excellency the Prefect. We never intended to kill you..."
"It's unfair, spare my life, Miss, please save me..."
“.......”
The servants struggled and shouted, and when they passed by Ran Xiangyu, they stretched out their black claws to grab Ran Xiangyu's clothes.
Prefect Liu frowned and scolded, "Shut up and take him away quickly."
Ran Xiangyu looked at the servants who were covered with their mouths and led out rudely, with a look of shock on her face.
Nanny Zhang held Ran Xiangyu's hand tightly.
She looked at the prefect nervously, not knowing what he was trying to do.
In theory, even if you know that the eldest lady is not implicated by the Shen family, there is no need to be so polite to her.
The eldest lady was just the daughter of a merchant, and they were a little flattered by the prefect's attitude.
This scene seemed to return to the time when the Shen family still held a high position.
At that time, the eldest daughter was Shen Yong's fiancée, and those officials in the capital who were of lower rank than the Shen family were very polite to the eldest daughter.
This is also the reason why the eldest daughter could not accept the decline of the Shen family and came to cancel the engagement as soon as possible.
Nanny Zhang pursed her lips and looked at Magistrate Liu anxiously.
Ran Xiangyu's expression was also uneasy.
She calmed her trembling heart and knelt down to greet Magistrate Liu, "Thank you, Magistrate, for making this decision for me."
Prefect Liu looked at Ran Xiangyu with a smile.
"You're too polite, Miss. This is what I should do."
"These servants are so audacious that they dare to kill their masters. They deserve to die."
Ran Xiangyu pulled the corner of her lips and looked at Prefect Liu with gratitude.
"Your Excellency the Prefect, please understand. My life was saved by you, Your Excellency the Prefect."
Magistrate Liu laughed heartily, "Miss, are you getting used to living in the post station?"
Ran Xiangyu was slightly stunned, looking at Prefect Liu in confusion, "Reply to the Prefect, Master, and adapt."
Prefect Liu smiled and nodded. "The environment at the post station is a bit harsh. If you're not used to it, you can move to the prefectural yamen."
"There are still many vacant courtyards in the prefectural government office. Miss, you can live in whichever one you like."
As soon as Magistrate Liu finished speaking, Ran Xiangyu and his servant turned pale.
Nanny Zhang held onto Ran Xiangyu's arm tightly, her eyes fixed on her face.
It’s over, the prefect has taken a fancy to their eldest daughter.
He is preparing to let the eldest lady be his mistress.
Ran Xiangyu also thought of this, and she took a step back in panic.
The prefect was old enough to be her father, so how could she be willing to be his mistress?
She could have been the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo before, but now she has fallen to being someone's concubine. If this news gets to the capital, she will be laughed to death.
No wonder the prefect suddenly changed his attitude. It turned out that he fell in love with her.
Ran Xiangyu lowered her eyelids in panic, not daring to look at the wretched expression of Prefect Liu with a smile on his face.
"I appreciate your concern, Your Excellency the Prefect. Living in the post station is quite comfortable."
"Besides, I will be leaving to extinguish the Fire City early tomorrow morning, so I won't bother you, Mr. Prefect."
Oh my God, she doesn't want to be the old man's concubine, even if he is the prefect.
She came to follow Chen Yong. Shen Yong was so powerful and handsome, and his martial arts were very strong. He could kill so many palace guards in seconds. He had a bright future.
With Chen Yong as a role model, she would have to be crazy to follow the prefect.
When Governor Liu heard that Ran Xiangyu was going to Qianhuang City tomorrow morning, he quickly smiled and said,
"It is too dangerous for you, master and servant, to set out."
"Well, I will arrange four yamen runners to escort you to Qianhuang City."
Alas, what a pity that I couldn’t let the princess stay in Bailong City.
However, he could have his men escort the princess to Qianhuang City, and by the way, have his men tell her about her experience and briefly mention his contribution.
Ran Xiangyu looked at Magistrate Liu in a daze.
She was still thinking about how to get away, and she really didn't expect that Magistrate Liu didn't force her to stay.
Not only did he not force her to stay, he also asked the yamen runners to send her to destroy... No, he seemed to be talking about Qianhuang City.
"Master Prefect, I'm going to Fire Extinguishing City, not Qianhuang City."
Prefect Liu smiled and said, "Miss, you may not know that this Fire Extinguishing City has been renamed Qianhuang City."
"It will probably take two days to get from Bailong City to Qianhuang City by carriage."
"It is really unsafe for you and your servant to stay out overnight, so I have arranged for four yamen runners to escort you."
"Changed the name?" Ran Xiangyu looked at Magistrate Liu in surprise.
How could the name of a city be changed so casually?
Moreover, it was obvious that Magistrate Liu had taken a liking to her just now, and now he was willing to send her away. What was he up to?
Could it be that he wanted these yamen runners to escort her to Qianhuang City to take a look, and if the situation there was worse than here, then bring her back and take her as his concubine?
That wouldn't do. She would rather go directly to the Fire Phoenix Kingdom than be the prefect's concubine.
If the prefect was younger, she would be more considerate.
But the prefect is already half buried in the ground at this age. If she marries him, she won't have a good life for many days.
Moreover, the status of a concubine is very low, and her life and death depends entirely on the mood of the mistress of the house.
She doesn't want to be a concubine.
Since she was able to make Shen Yong willing to marry her in the past, she would naturally be able to find someone of higher status willing to marry her in the future.
She was not born to be a concubine.
Magistrate Liu nodded and said, "Yes, Miss will know when she goes to Qianhuang City."
He didn't need to say anything extra.
The fact that he was colluding with King Qianhuang had not been exposed, so it should never be exposed.
This is also a kind of protection for him.
Ran Xiangyu pursed her lips and gave a dry laugh.
"In that case, I'll trouble you, Master Prefect."
After watching Ran Xiangyu leave, Prefect Liu immediately summoned Zhao Tongpan.
"Tomorrow you will take four yamen runners with you to escort the future princess to Qianhuang City."
"Prepare food and drink. We must not let the young lady go hungry."
Zhao Tongpan's eyes widened in shock.
"Where did the future princess come from?"
What happened?
Judge Zhao looked at Prefect Liu in confusion.
Could it be that Magistrate Liu wants to give a woman to King Qianhuang?
Prefect Liu looked at Zhao Tongpan's bewildered expression, smiled and slapped his forehead.
"Oh my, you see, I've been thinking about the future princess, and I forgot to tell you."
"Do you remember the master and servant from the capital who came to report the case last night?"
