Ji Youzhi and the others hadnât even approached Xie PanâEr and Lu Yunsheng when they first heard these shameless words, and for a moment they were all stunned.
The most incredulous person had to be Princess Ata!
"Am I hearing things, is there something wrong with my ears?"
She reached out and fiddled with her ears, expressing disbelief to the others, and then walked toward Xie PanâEr!
"It seems youâre not the only one hearing things!"
Ji Youzhi frowned, his face darkening, and he too walked toward Xie PanâEr.
Dugu Xiao directly drew his sword.
"Miss Xie! Who is this brat that dared to speak such shameless words to you?"
Xie PanâErâs face instantly turned red, her head bowed tightly, not daring to look at Princess Ata and the others!
"Miss Xie! Why are you silent!
Do you know this person?
If not, then heâs harassing an honest woman, according to the laws of the Great Han, he should be put in prison, right?"
Princess Ata saw Xie PanâErâs look and couldnât help but ask.
"Anyone who harasses an honest woman, if they hold any title, their title is stripped, and theyâre imprisoned for fifteen days, never to be employed by the court again."
Ji Youzhi followed Princess Ataâs words and said.
He casually took out a pair of shackles from his sleeve and said to Lu Yunsheng, "Come with me! Youâre suspected of harassing an honest woman, and Iâm going to take you to the county yamen hall for interrogation now."
Seeing Ji Youzhiâs stance, Lu Yunsheng was dumbfounded. He hadnât even figured out who these people that suddenly appeared were?
Who are they? And theyâre about to take him to the county yamen hall for interrogation.
Lu Yunsheng was bewildered, and Ji Youzhi had already stepped forward to lock him up.
"Wait! Who... who are you... people?
On what grounds are you taking me?"
Lu Yunsheng came to his senses, saw the shackles suddenly on his hand, was initially stunned, and then reacted, shouting loudly.
"You donât recognize this person?
To think you boasted that only you in the capital dare to marry our PanâEr?
Your status as a young master from the capital seems fake, doesnât it?"
Xie PanâEr, hearing this, began to mock this young master Lu coldly.
"What... what are you saying?
What status do you people have?
Iâm warning you, youâd better be polite to me, or youâll suffer the consequences.
Here, Iâm a notable figure!"
Lu Yunshengâs words made Princess Ata and Dugu Xiao laugh.
"What good is it knowing a notable figure?
Today, youâve made a mistake, even if you know a king, it wonât help."
Dugu Xiao said, pushing Ji Youzhi aside, stepping forward, and shouting toward the county yamenâs main gate, "Someone come to me, are you all blind? Canât you see someone harassing Miss Xie here, do you want a beating?"
His loud shout brought the creaking sound of the government office door opening.
A very coarse voice came from the yamen entrance.
"Itâs the General! The General is back, quick! The General caught a scoundrel harassing Miss Xie over there, brothers, hurry and catch him to lock him up."
"This scoundrel is really blind, who else does he harass but Miss Xie, sheâs the beautiful sister of the Princess, has always lived with the Ji Family, and the Ji Family has long considered her one of their own.
This person asks for it by harassing Miss Xie, does he have more than one head, isnât he afraid of losing his life?"
The imperial guards whispered, jogging over, hurriedly greeting Dugu Xiao and Ji Youzhi, "Greetings to the Grand General! Divine Hunter Ji!"
After paying their respects, seeing Princess Ata and Yun Kuo, and also Xie PanâEr, the squad leader responsible for this team of imperial guards quickly smiled and said.
"Young Hero Yun, Princess Ata is here too?"
Then he looked at Xie PanâEr and apologized, "Weâre terribly sorry to have frightened you, Miss, itâs all our brothersâ fault, I apologize to you on their behalf.
Please, Miss, overlook our mistakes, rest assured, since this scoundrel dared to harass you, heâll definitely pay dearly, weâll lock him up right away, and teach him a good lesson!"
This team of imperial guards was not under Deputy General Wangâs command but were true imperial guards. When Dugu Xiao left the capital initially, he brought a total of three thousand troops, and among these, one thousand were not under his own command but belonged to the Imperial City Guard under Prince Yanâs management.
