The Return of the Princess
Episode 14



“Why are you still defending him? Didn't this kid steal your valuables and give them to me now, if you don't want to give me 50 taels of silver, I can do anything to this ugly book as I wish”


 “KAU!!” he said it was getting upset


“You don't believe it? Look, what will it do!” he was going to tear the book apart. With overflowing emotions, Yuejipun bulldozed them with his kungfu abilities. One by one they slammed out of the small hallway where they clashed and fell in front of Police Chief Zhao who happened to pass with Zhiling.


“What happened here?”


“Police Chief Zhao, help us! There was someone who suddenly beat us there” he complained


“Zhiling, we check there. The rest please take care of them!”


“Siap, chairman!”


After finding a fight at that place, Zhao Lantian and Zhiling immediately stopped him


“Stop there!” he shouted at Yueji as he was about to hit the bully boss who had fallen to the ground using his fists


“Police Chief Zhao, help me! He, he's crazy and wants to kill me!” get up and hide behind Zhao Lantian's back


“You lied! Tell me the truth or I'll beat you up again!” his screams were getting more upset


“You saw, didn't he just say he wanted to beat me up again? Help me Chief of Police Zhao


“You!!”


”Stop! It is better this is settled in the judiciary office”


“What? I told you the truth that he stole my book and tried to blackmail me. I still have interests and can't stay here too long, can't you finish it here?”


“My job is to discipline the vandals and arrest the rioters to keep the security here, not determine or decide the punishment. If miss feels right, why should she refuse to settle it at the Justice Office?”


“Not so. I really can't linger here” sounds like an excuse, but Yueji felt that he would make Yi Mei and Yi Cao worried for so long leaving the place where they told him to wait


“I can't just believe in words alone. What is happening must be demanded in order to know who is right and who is wrong. You just have to come with us to the justice office and so does he. There's violence here, anyway, you have injured someone so it cannot be considered trivial and really must be resolved there” Yueji who heard the words of Police Chief Zhao can only move and follow them to the Justice Office, he said, the boy returned home to see his dying mother.


Shangnan District Justice Office


“Honor Hakim Guan, I brought a case for you to settle” Zhao Lantian lowered her head


“Hey, hey, hey Police Chief Zhao why are you so disinclined by me? Wake up, there is no need to pay such a salute” Zhao Lantian who is the son of a respected high official of the country makes him also more respected, not least by the Judges


“Begin Judge Guan. .”


“Judge Guan, this woman suddenly came beating on us mercilessly and was about to snatch the book I found on this road. Look at! Our battered and scarred faces” said a Rentenir named Yutong, interrupting talks between Judge Guan and Zhao Lantian


“Again, you lied! The book is clearly mine! I intended to ask him to come back carefully, but they instead blackmailed me as much as 50 taels of silver” he said in self-defense


“Who said I blackmailed you? I only gave a fair price for my efforts to find this precious book, but suddenly you hit me and my subordinates blindly. Judge Guan, please give me justice!”


“You're really good at tongue-lightning!” the look of anger on Yueji's face that could hardly be restrained


“Judge Guan, help me to punish this damn girl! There will be great rewards if you can make him kneel to me!” Yutong whispers of a sinister plot responded to by Judge Guan, and the two of them are now in the same ship and trying to get Yueji punished.


“Ehem. . .Miss, are you really hitting them? Even if what you say is true, isn't it too rash if you judge them like this?” ask judge Guan


“That's because they kept provoking me and insisted on holding back the book so that I couldn't hold back my emotions!”


“Why did you ask for the book?” back to whispering


“Give it and leave it all to me!” whispering reply. Their attitude made Yueji suspicious. Judge Guanpun opened the book and how surprised he was when he saw the painting inside.


Why am I no stranger to seeing this peony-shaped mark?


What was Judge Guo thinking the first time he saw the painting? Are Yi Mei and Yi Cao coming to rescue Yueji?


After arriving at the Shangnan District Judiciary Office, Judge Guan began his investigation and asked the loan sharks Yutong and Yueji a few things. The book which was the only physical evidence was handed to him and his eyes suddenly widened when he saw the contents inside. His attention was focused on a peony flower-shaped signature engraved on the bottom corner of the painting as if it had seen it a long time ago.


“What's your name, miss?" tanyanya curious


“I. . .Yueji”


“Then, what's your margame name?”


“Margaku. . . ? Aunty says I can't wear mother's surname, how do I answer it?”


“You said this book is yours, did you draw it yourself?” back asking


How'this? I couldn't tell her at all. . Her eyes turned the other way and bowed then one of the guards came in and reported that a guest had asked to come in.


“Report Hakim Guan, in front there are 2 girls and a child asking to enter” he said conveying a message


“Who are they?”


“They said that they knew this girl and wanted to give a witness to release her from the charge”


“Let them in!” decreed


“Good!”


While waiting for the guest in question, Judge Guan's eyes continued to observe Yueji. It was not long before they entered and they were Yi Mei and Yi Cao wearing a veil and a child who seemed to be the little thief.


“Our respect Mr Judge!” said Yi Cao who was standing beside Yueji


“Kakk. . .Why her?” heran saw Yi Cao's face covered by a veil


“You all right?” holding Yueji's shoulder


“I'm okay”


“We'll get you out of here soon, take it easy. Leave everything to us!”


“Em, alright” nods without question


“Nona, can you explain what you mean by coming here?” Judge Guan


“Mr Judge, previously sorry for our audacity. My name is Yi Mei and this is my sister Yi Cao, we are a fellow from a distant land that was only a few hours ago and intend to stay here for a while. We were separated when my sister and I were buying something. When we came back he was out of place and we heard that he was in trouble with someone else, so our intention was to bring him home


“Adik? So, Miss Yueji is the sister of you?”


“True Mr Judge!”


“Call Judge Guan, just like everyone else. Then, didn't you say that you brought witnesses here? Who do you mean?”
