The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

Su Rou dismounted and said, "Look, if I wanted to kill you, I would have had plenty of opportunities just now. Why would I have followed you here?"

This made Mrs. Zhang half-believing and half-doubting.

"You...are you really the one who saved me?"

Su Rou nodded, "Yes, and yesterday I heard from the prisoner who was being executed with you that the one in your arms is your husband."

When it came to the key point, the defensiveness on Mrs. Zhang's face completely disappeared.

Su Rou squatted down in front of Mrs. Zhang and asked, "Were you beaten by that family just now? Why did they beat you?"

Mrs. Zhang's eyes were filled with tears. "The old woman's son came back from hunting this morning and saw me in the house. He started to have evil intentions. He forced me to have sex with him. When I refused, they... beat me."

Su Rou stretched out her hand. "Will you come with me? I'll take you to meet your mother-in-law."

Mrs. Zhang looked at her and asked, "Is my mother-in-law still alive?"

Su Rou nodded, "She was the one who asked me to come and save you."

But... Su Rou looked at the human skin in Mrs. Zhang's arms. The old woman's son had become like this.

She was of no use, but at least she found it and saved the old woman's daughter-in-law.

The old woman shouldn't turn her back on you.

Mrs. Zhang grabbed Su Rou's hand and said, "I'll go with you. I want to see my mother-in-law."

Su Rou pulled Mrs. Zhang onto the horse and said, "But before we leave, we have to go back and settle the accounts."

Back at the door of the peasant woman's house, Su Rou dismounted and said, "Wait for me on horseback. Don't get off."

When Su Rou entered the house, she saw the peasant woman lying on the ground with her forehead rubbed red by the floor.

It seemed as if he was planning to slowly move outside to seek help from others.

Su Rou didn't say anything, but pulled out a dagger and stabbed the old woman in the head.

The old woman lay dead on the ground. She wiped the blood off the dagger with the old woman's clothes and searched around but couldn't find the bag of silver she had given the old woman yesterday.

Finally, Su Rou set her sights on the old woman's son.

She didn't need this little bit of money. If the old woman had used it to help her son get married and arrange his future marriage, she wouldn't have been so angry.

Su Rou took the purse from him and used it as a buffer. She gave the money to them because they took care of Mrs. Zhang.

Now I just got it back.

After walking out of the house, Su Rou threw the bag of money to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Take this money and use it."

Mrs. Zhang was so frightened by the weight of the purse in her hand that she dared not move. "Miss..."

Su Rou said, "I'll take you into the city."

"I'm afraid the city is now full of portraits of wanted criminals. I'm afraid I won't be able to get in like this..."

Su Rou waved her hand, "It's okay, they don't dare to stop you."

What happened yesterday was such a big deal, she didn't believe the emperor wouldn't be angry.

It's true that the Ministry of Justice has a portrait, but I guess all their attention is focused on the male wanted criminal.

If the Ministry of Justice fails to catch them, how will the emperor deal with them?

The defense of the Dali Temple is stricter than that of the Ministry of Justice. It is unlikely that she can rob the Dali Temple like robbing the execution ground. At least she needs to have the same military strength as her father, or she needs to have the same skills as her father to do it.

When Su Rou's horse reached the city gate, it was stopped by soldiers again.

The soldier bowed respectfully, "Miss."

Su Rou threw down the scroll and said, "I'll cooperate with you this time. Is that okay?"

The soldier didn't dare to look at the scroll. He lowered his head and said, "Miss, who is this person behind you?"

Su Rou lied calmly, "The concubine's daughter of the Marquis of Xiguang Mansion, wasn't the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Xiguang Mansion murdered a while ago? This concubine's daughter has lived on the manor since she was a child. She was very sad when she found out. I have such a deep friendship with the Marquis of Xiguang Mansion. Now the city gates are not open to anyone, so I can only go out of the city to pick her up and send her off."

This lie sounds really perfect.

The soldier raised his head in surprise, looking at Mrs. Zhang, "I see."

The soldier turned sideways and shouted to the soldier behind him, "Let them pass!"

Su Rou secretly rejoiced. She believed the lies she made up?!

She really is self-taught.

Su Rou had just taken two steps on her horse when a familiar voice rang in her ears like thunder.

"Stop her!"

For a moment, the soldiers didn't know who to support.

Su Rou turned her head and looked. Is this Minister of Justice idle and having nothing to do all day?

He made things difficult for her yesterday, and now he is obstructing her again today.

The Minister of Justice hurried down from the city gate.

Su Rou raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean, Lord Minister of Justice? Are you doubting my identity?!"

The Minister of Justice said, "There is nothing wrong with Miss Su's identity, but the problem is that this concubine's daughter of the Marquis of Xiguang's mansion, in my many years of service, has never heard of the Marquis of Xiguang having a concubine's daughter who was kept outside."

Su Rou could not express her dissatisfaction with the Minister of Justice too openly.

She frowned and said, "You haven't heard of it, so what? From what I know, you've always looked down on the Xiguang Marquis's mansion in the court. I even heard your officials gossip about it behind your back, saying that the Xiguang Marquis only achieved his current status by relying on the influence accumulated by his ancestors in the court."

The Minister of Justice gritted his teeth, and Su Rou felt that he was about to jump up and hit her.

The Minister of Justice stared at Su Rou. "Miss Su is sharp-tongued. I won't argue with a junior like you. I'm under the Emperor's orders to capture fugitives throughout the capital. The Emperor has mandated that anyone entering or leaving the city must be inspected. Miss Su is not a fugitive, but the status of this concubine's daughter from the Marquis of Xiguang's mansion needs to be considered."

Mrs. Zhang sat behind Su Rou with her head down.

Su Rou tightened the reins, otherwise she would have rushed out on horseback. However, openly resisting the inspection at the city gate would definitely implicate the General's Mansion.

The Minister of Justice said again, "Come here, find someone who can walk quickly and go to Xiguanghou Mansion to ask about it. If it is true, then let Miss Su go."

Su Rou: “…”

stingy person!

Why pretend to be selfless? The people in the Ministry of Justice know clearly whether those fugitives are fugitives or not.

The Minister of Justice stood sideways and said, "Miss Su, please dismount. We will let you go once the errand boy returns."

Su Rou glared at the Minister of Justice fiercely, "No, I won't leave. I just like staying on horseback."

The Minister of Justice did not continue to persuade her. He turned around and said to the official of the Ministry of Justice beside him, "Watch her and don't let her run away."

Su Rou narrowed her eyes slightly. "A dog in office, what a fool! He's so loyal to the emperor, why doesn't the emperor support him to become a high-ranking official?"

But...it's useless even if the Minister of Justice sends someone there...

How could the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family be the concubine's daughter of the Marquis of Xiguang?

There is no such thing as her having a close relationship with Xiguang Houfu.

When someone comes back, there is only one result...
