Yun Suyue looked indifferently at the pug and his kneeling lackeys. Her voice drifted faintly, "Call your immediate superior, now, immediately!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The kneeling deputy captain climbed up from the ground tremblingly, jumped on his horse and went back to call people.

At this moment, the two men brought back Helian Xu's mother and sister. The sister was fine, but the mother looked disheveled and was wearing one of the men's coats.

"Mother, you? You beasts, I will kill you." Helian Xu raised the knife in his hand and chopped the head of the escorting officer.

Yun Suyue stopped him, "Of course he must die, but it won't dirty your hands. Calm down first and listen to what my people have to say."

"Don't worry, we got there in time, it's just that Madam's coat was a little torn."

"Brother...Brother, I...I'm fine." Helian Ye was still frightened and walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Mother, sister, it's all my fault." The knife in Helian Xu's hand fell to the ground. He ran over, hugged his mother and sister and started crying.

This was probably the first time the mother had experienced something like this. Her face was pale, and her lips were trembling as she forced herself to remain calm and comfort her son, "Xu, how can I blame you? Mom and your sister are fine.

By the way, how is your injury? Let me take a look."

Helian Xu shook his head and refused to let him see, "I'm fine, my injuries have all been healed by Princess Su Yue."

"Princess Su Yue? I, Cui, greet Princess Su Yue. Thank you, Princess Su Yue, for saving my son. We're not looking for trouble. We just want to remind these youngsters that they haven't harmed the three of us, so we're bringing them some water and food."

Cui pointed at the pancakes scattered on the ground and said.

Yun Suyue nodded, her eyes falling on the crushed pancakes on the ground. The Holy Emperor had ordered Eunuch Sun to go to the Ministry of Justice to convey the order in front of her, but she didn't expect that it would turn out like this when it reached the lowest level.

"Pretending to obey, secretly disobeying, is this what you escort officers are doing? Killing people is not enough to justify your actions. The three of them, mother and son, were only here to bring some water and food to the younger generation of our former tribesmen, yet you can ignore the law and do whatever you want to them in broad daylight?"

She pointed at the three people being held captive and said, "Were you the three who dragged the mother and daughter into the woods?"

The three knelt and begged for mercy: "Please spare our lives, Princess. We will never dare to do it again."

Yun Suyue decisively ordered: "Come here, kill them!"

"Yes, this disloyal and unjust beast who defies the laws of our dynasty must be beheaded."

"Yes, it must be cut."

The three men who followed Yun Suyue waved their flags and shouted in righteous indignation. To dare to do such a thing in the Imperial City showed that the Ministry of Justice had neglected its duties. With just one sword strike, the three men's heads fell to the ground, and the remaining escorting officers and soldiers were even more terrified.

"Princess, please spare me, Princess, please spare me."

Yun Suyue remained indifferent, her eyes glaring at those scum, "Spare my life? If I hadn't come, the three of them, mother and son, would have died today. But the Holy Emperor clearly ordered you to escort them safely to the place of exile. You are disobeying his order and you all deserve to be killed!

Take them all away, interrogate them thoroughly, and make them confess everything they have done, or else not a single one will be spared!"

Originally, she wanted to get rid of these people on the spot, but then she thought that these people were the closest contacts to the criminals and often knew more, so maybe she could get something out of them through interrogation.

Behind him: "Princess, please wait. Although they have committed crimes, their crimes do not deserve the death penalty. They are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. Please hand them all over to me."

The visitor's tone was not one of negotiation, but rather sounded soft but was actually very tough.

Yun Suyue turned to look at the newcomer, a burly, low-level official from the Ministry of Justice, who frowned slightly at her, expressing his displeasure. "Your Excellency, you seem quite powerful. What's your name?"

The other person folded his hands and said, "I dare not. I am the head of the prison in the Ministry of Justice... Baihu!"

He deliberately emphasized the white words as a warning.

Yun Suyue understood that only the Bai family could warn her in the imperial city. The fact that the Bai family had not made any movement meant that Bai Yihai's affairs had not been made public, and Si Yanzhuo and Mei Beiyao had not yet arrived at the northern border.

So this person is still jumping around, "Oh? You are from the Bai family."

The three people who followed Yun Suyue all shook their heads, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Baihu could be summed up in four words: He doesn't know whether to live or die!

Seeing that Yun Suyue was quite clever and had figured it out, Baihu's old face suddenly broke into a smug smile, "The princess is not only beautiful, but also very intelligent."

These words were already teasing Yun Suyue, and there was also a hint of contempt for her, calling her an ignorant abandoned woman who relied on the favor of the Holy Emperor and the Queen Mother and had nothing but beauty.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, after a whip sounded through the air, the white tiger weighing three hundred pounds rolled off the horse's back and fell to the ground. The official uniform on his body was torn, revealing bloody wounds so deep that the bone could be seen.

"You?" Baihu got up from the ground, covered his wound and glared at Yun Suyue, but he endured it and didn't dare to explode.

Yun Suyue's lips curled slightly, and a casual sneer was so beautiful that it made everything else pale in comparison. "Kneel down! I am a princess appointed by the Holy Emperor himself. You, a mere jailer, saw this princess but didn't dismount and salute. This is a disrespect for the Holy Emperor and the dignity of the royal family.

This whip is to teach you to always remember your status and that the royal dignity cannot be disrespected."

Baihu gritted his teeth and knelt down obediently.

Suddenly, with a "snap" sound, Yun Suyue whipped Baihu again, knocking him to the ground with blood pouring from his back. "This whip is to teach you to bow obediently when you see this princess."

"Snapped!"

Yun Suyue was not polite at all, and whipped down. "This third whip is to punish the subordinates you discipline for being worse than dogs. If you don't accept it, go directly to the Holy Emperor and file a complaint against me. This princess is waiting for you in Taihe Palace.

As for these dog-like subordinates of yours, since you are incapable of disciplining them, I will have someone do it for you. Take them all to the Dali Division. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed!"

"Yes, I will take them to the Dali Division right away." One of them turned his horse and shouted, "All of you follow me, or I will kill you on the spot."

"Yes, yes, yes." Those people followed obediently and no one dared to run away.

Baihu was the only one left there. He had been beaten so hard by Yun Suyue that he lost his temper. He knelt on the ground and dared not say a word. He could only watch his men being taken away. He slowly curled his five outstretched fingers into a fist and suddenly clenched it!

"Go and have the Ministry of Justice send someone else to escort these people. If this little matter still doesn't go well, the Minister of Justice can go to the Holy Emperor and retire."

Yun Suyue raised her hand towards the left side of her back.

"As the princess ordered." The man on the left turned his horse back.

Yun Suyue raised her hand again, "Please ride your horse and take them back to the city. I'll be waiting for you here."

"Yes, county lord."

Yun Suyue glanced at the pile of meat on the ground and said, "You can go now."

"Your humble servant... takes his leave." Baihu had learned his lesson and stood up and bowed politely.

After everyone had left, Yun Suyue's gaze fell on Helian Xu. "Why, are you surprised?"

Helian Xu shook his head. "It's unexpected, but it's also understandable. There's no woman in the Imperial City as bold and ruthless as you, nor do they have your fearlessness."

"Hahaha, I'll just take it as a compliment. For example, if I hadn't been so ruthless just now, you would have been dead.

As a woman, you should strike when you need to strike, and be ruthless when you need to be ruthless. Okay, I have said everything I need to say, you can go now. I hope we can meet again in the future, and you won’t be so miserable.

Yun Suyue laughed loudly, turned her horse's head, and ran towards the pavilion not far away.
