In the wilderness, it was a quiet and peaceful night.
Dozens of horses were escorting a prisoner cart along the official road in an orderly manner. No one would have thought that under such circumstances, the prisoner in the carriage would have the guts to shout at the Minister of State, "Quickly stop the carriage for me!"
And it was with the tone of an order!
One by one, they turned around and looked at Chu Yunge who was in the middle and was being held in a prison cart.
Chu Yunge was still tied up like always, her hands behind her back. Since she couldn't stand up straight in the carriage, she squatted on the wooden floor and screamed her lungs out.
His voice was exceptionally clear. From beginning to end, the entire team of riders could hear him clearly.
The carriage stopped in their tracks, and the leading Master Shang Shu turned his head to look at Chu Yunge.
On the other hand, the young servant who was always by his side knitted his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and said somewhat viciously: "What do you want to do!? You're still dishonest after getting on the prison cart? "
"I've never been honest!" Chu Yunge squatted in the carriage and sarcastically retorted, "Can an honest man swindle pay? "He really has no brains!"
"You!" The youth on the horse was so angry that his body trembled. It seemed that he wanted to get down from the horse.
Just as the youth was about to make a move, the Minister who was sitting next to the youth raised his eyes and swept his cold gaze over the youth. "Extraordinary, don't be rash."
"Yes, my lord." The anger in the youth's heart immediately vanished as he obediently lowered his head.
"Ask the girl if she has anything to do. After all, humans have three needs. " Master Shang Shu on the other hand was very understanding of favors, he knew that there was something that Chu Yunge wanted to request for when he suddenly shouted.
"Understood, milord." The youth was extremely unwilling to hear his orders.
Because he had no good impression of the woman in the carriage. As a street thief in a market, he still dared to put on airs when he saw the Minister. How ignorant!
However, even if that female swindler had seen that Lord Shang Shu had no manners, Lord Shang Shu had actually forgiven that woman.
Lord Shang Shu really has a good temper.
Thinking like this, the youth pouted his lips in dissatisfaction, dismounted from his horse, and walked in front of the prison cart holding Chu Yunge. Past the wooden fences that were as thick as his calves, he rudely asked Chu Yunge, "My lord had instructed me to come over here just now, what do you want?"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't do it." Chu Yunge, who was sitting inside the prison cart, became even more playful when he saw the young man walk over. He directly leaned on the wooden stake behind him, pretending to be satisfied as he said, "I'm only talking to Master Shang Shu.
"You woman!" The youth angrily clenched his small fists, afraid that the adults in the distance would hear. He could only lower his voice and say, "You woman, don't fail to appreciate my kindness. You cheated away so much pay, and then killed the Prefect and Grand Master of Dazhou City. Just based on this crime, it was murder of an official of the imperial court, and he had to split the body into five pieces! If the lord does not torture you to force a confession, it is our lord who is merciful and forgiving, and is willing to let you live for the time being! "When you get to the capital and enter the Ministry of Justice's Prison, your head will fall off!"
"Yes, you don't always have to tell me what a crime I've committed. I know exactly what I did. However, your master didn't force me to confess, it wasn't because he was merciful, but because he wasn't sure if I was Imperial Protector Princess or not. Your family's master is a smart man. He knows what is important and what to do, so he doesn't dare to act rashly. "So …"
Chu Yunge blinked her long eyelashes, then smiled gently at the young man outside the prison: "Good girl, don't be angry with me, quickly go and call your master over, I have something to discuss with him."
"You just need to pee! This is nothing, I can make the decision. " The boy gave her a disdainful look, then turned to the guard in charge of guarding the carriage and told him to open it.
"Wait, I do need it. I would like to go and relieve myself. But I also said that I want to meet your master. Call your master over here for me. " The smile on Chu Yunge's face became somewhat stiff, and his tone became slightly more forceful.
"Why do you have so much to do, woman!" The youth began to shout in dissatisfaction.
Since the carriage was not frozen yet, and because the young man had called out in a low voice, Master Shang Shu, who was seated on his red horse, turned around and looked at the carriage behind him when he heard the commotion, "Extraordinary, what happened?"
"Yes …" The young man who was addressed as extraordinary looked at Chu Yunge helplessly, and then raised his hand to report: Reporting to my Lord, it was this woman who said it would be convenient. She even said that she wanted to meet with my esteemed self, and that I have something to discuss with you. "
"Since you have something on, you should have told me earlier." Master Shang Shu's expression did not change at all, as if he had already guessed Chu Yunge's request.
Then, he jumped down from the horse, tidied up his official's robe, and slowly walked to the side of the prison cart. Looking at Chu Yunge who was seated on the wooden board through the fence, her tone was still as gentle as before: "May I know what orders you have? "If you don't want to tell me, just tell me."
"Master Shang Shu is indeed someone who understands reason." Before I was captured by you, I already promised that I wouldn't run away. You also know that Baili Lan sent a group of elites from the inner palace to capture me. So you don't have to worry about me running. "
When Chu Yunge saw that Master Shang Shu had walked over, she immediately changed her posture. Leaning forward against the wooden stake, she almost put her face against it, "But, this princess has a thousand gold body, and is extremely delicate. Even when she went out, he would ride in a luxurious carriage. She had never been a prisoner carriage before. "You don't even have a pallet in this carriage. You can't even stand up straight. It's really hard to just curl up like that. I want you to get me a carriage, I want to ride in it!
"…"
Before the Minister had a chance to speak, he had already opened his mouth in astonishment, "You woman …"
He had followed by the side of Lord Shang Shu for many years, and had seen quite a few of the various schools and schools.
However, he had never seen such a shameless woman. She had violated the laws of the land, and was still imprisoned in a carriage!
Did she think she was a concubine on a tour of the palace?
"Master Shang Shu." Chu Yunge pretended not to see the extraordinary expression on Master Shang Shu's face, and looked at him with a refined look, and laughed: "Even if I have violated the laws inside the Bright Moon Kingdom, my identity is noble, and even if I have to be punished, it is only after my royal father has come to negotiate with your country that I can make the decision. Even though I am now a body waiting to be punished, I am still a princess of Great Chu Kingdom. If you lock a grand princess in a prison cart and wait for me to arrive in the capital, who do you think will blame if something bad happens to your body? "
"This …" Upon hearing Chu Yunge's analysis, the head of the Shang Guan frowned slightly. His black pupils moved back and forth in circles in his eye sockets, as though he was thinking about something.
Chu Yunge continued: "Although Master Shang Shu holds an important position, he is only a third stage official. He was still a few steps away from becoming a powerful minister in the imperial court. His lordship had dominated the field for many years, and he definitely knew how difficult it was for him to climb up one step at a time. "If you do something wrong, even if I give you your future official position, how unworthy of it?"
"What the lady said is true." Master Shang Shu had thought it through, even if he released Chu Yunge from the carriage, so what? Could she really run away?
No matter how glib Chu Yunge's words were, she was still a woman.
Furthermore, the people around him were all Death Soldiers sent out by the Imperial Palace. Their martial arts were superb. Even if someone really wanted to rob the prison, they would not be able to do so. Then what was he afraid of?
If this woman really wanted to run, why sit in the back garden and wait for death?
Why wait until now?
After some serious consideration, Master Shang Shu crossed his hands behind his back and looked at the two Death Soldiers standing on both sides of the prison cart. He gave an order: "The two of you, quickly untie this girl and bring this official's carriage over. Let this lady rest inside first."
"Sir, please don't!" The moment he heard that, he became anxious and immediately stopped the President's hand in his tracks. He anxiously said, "Master, the fact that this woman could swindle away so much silver from General Mu is sufficient to show that she is crafty. "If you really listen to her and release her from the carriage, if she runs away and the culprit doesn't get caught, how will the lord explain this to you when you return to the capital?"
"You silly child, if I ran, I would have already run away. Why would I stand in the garden and wait for you to come find me?" Chu Yunge couldn't help but throw a huge supercilious look at the teenager and helplessly say, "I can even let those accomplices go, why can't I leave by myself? I didn't leave because I didn't think about it, because I am a Imperial Protector Princess, and when Baili Lan sees me, even if he was angered to the point of stomping his feet, he wouldn't dare to kill me. "
He looked at Master Shang Shu anxiously, and continued to speak with a serious tone: "Let's capture this woman, if we don't interrogate her during the night, then we are already forgiving her. If you are putting her in your carriage to rest, it is not proper! There has never been such a case of a prisoner being treated in the Bright Moon Kingdom in the past hundred years! "
The court ordered the prisoners to stop their carriages and lend them to the prisoners to rest in!
This was simply unheard-of!
"Extraordinary, are you questioning my decision?" This was especially the case since there were so many ways to prevent him from doing so. This caused the good-natured Master Shu to feel embarrassed, so he put away the kindness on his face, straightened his face, and said coldly, "I know what I am doing. "You have worked with me for so many years. Today, you have come to teach me a lesson on how to handle this matter!"
"This subordinate would not dare!" He immediately lowered his head, not daring to utter another word.
He raised his hand again, looked at the guards on both sides of the carriage, and whispered: "Open the carriage, untie the girl, and then escort her to the carriage where I am resting. When we get to the next station, I'll rent another carriage. "
"Yes sir!"
The two Death Soldiers immediately accepted their orders, took out their keys and opened the lock. They untied the thick and heavy iron chains on the carriage and untied Chu Yunge who was in the carriage.
