Without hesitating, Chu Yunge told the truth in front of the bailiff, ”Quickly run out the door and tell that bailiff what you're talking about. I'm the one who swindled General Mu out of paying the one million. Get them to send people to catch me quickly! ”
Ah …” The bailiff was completely dumbfounded. He stood dumbly on the spot, unable to comprehend what he had just heard.
It was probably an illusion.
It must be because the Grand Master was in high spirits tonight and had too much to drink, that he became like this.
Why are you still standing there in a daze, why have you not gone out to inform the Minister that I am a scoundrel who swindled military salaries away, I am the whose name will never change, Chu Yunge! Chu Yunge said as she placed her hands on her hips, simply stepping on the beauty leaning on the water pavilion, standing on the beauty's back, and shouting loudly towards the front yard.
With this shout, Chu Yunge didn't intentionally pinch her throat to speak, and instead revealed her originally clear and melodious voice that was like an oriole.
”Oh my god …” ”You really are a woman …”
When the bailiff standing at the side heard Chu Yunge, he immediately retreated backwards and his body staggered before falling to the ground.
It really was a woman's voice, not that of the Grand Master's.
”Haha, you must be scared, but don't throw the jug away. The wine in the jug is expensive!” Chu Yunge laughed, she then glanced at the bailiffs on the ground and laughed: ”Why aren't you reporting to Master Shang Shu about the situation, waiting for me to escape?”
Ah!
The bailiff had already lost his mind from the scene before him. Throwing away the wine jug in his hand, he ran towards the front yard with a loud shout.
”Tsk, as cowardly as a mouse. I'm not a monster, and I don't eat people. What are you calling me for?” Looking at the man's madly running back, Chu Yunge shook her head helplessly. She jumped up from the beauty's seat and stood where she was once again, holding onto the red lantern as she continued to reward the fish.
After nightfall, Chu Yunge walked out of the Star Seizer Pavilion in Dazhou City.
Feng Yi had already left using his Qing Gong from the private box, so naturally, there would no longer be a Prefect in Liang City.
Before they parted ways, she had told Feng Yi that he would be waiting in the garden at the back of the residence for the soldiers to come capture her. Feng Yi only needed to change into night attire and stand in the darkness to watch her leave.
And right now, although she didn't know where Feng Yi was currently hiding, she was clear that Feng Yi was definitely not far from her surroundings.
After looking at the golden carp in the Lotus Pond for a while, Chu Yunge heard another wave of commotion at the back gate of the garden. Heavy and hurried footsteps came one after another, and from the looks of it, there were at least forty to fifty people.
Chu Yunge threw all the bait into the water before slowly standing up and looking at the small path on the other side of the lily pond. As expected, the small path was already brightly lit, and the soldiers holding the torches had already surrounded the small courtyard. For a moment, over forty torches were gathered there.
The bright light in front of him caused Chu Yunge's eyes to dazzle. He narrowed her eyes in displeasure, and watched as a middle-aged man wearing an official's uniform slowly walked towards him in the midst of the light.
”Insolent thief, why aren't you kneeling down when you see Lord Shang Shu!”
Behind the middle-aged man, followed a young man with light footsteps. The young man carried his sword, and upon seeing Chu Yunge standing in the pavilion, he immediately scolded.
”Tsk tsk, such a young age and yet he's spouting such arrogant words. With my status, I should have at least seen a third rank official kneel before me. How could I have the right to kneel before him?” Chu Yunge had long since put down the lantern in her hand, and took off the sect master's outer robe, revealing the green-purple long sleeves and skirt she was wearing.
”You're a woman!” The youngster was obviously shocked, and his voice became much louder.
”You're not blind. Can't you tell if I'm a man or a woman? Why did the attendants beside him, the dignified Minister of the Capital, have to be so retarded? Could it be that the Bright Moon Kingdom no longer has any talent and no one can use it anymore? ” Chu Yunge crossed her arms haughtily in front of her chest, unrestrainedly ridiculing Master Shang Shu.
However, he, who had cultivated well, did not immediately scold her. Instead, he opened his mouth and asked, ”I never thought that the person who swindled away the one million silver taels in military pay was really a woman. Since it is a woman, just now you sent someone to spread the news, saying that you are a Imperial Protector Princess of Great Chu Kingdom, do you have any proof? ”
”Finally, someone can talk.” Chu Yunge curled the corner of her mouth, and then looked up and met the eyes of the Lord Shang Shu, continuing, ”I have the princess order badge that only the princess of Great Chu Kingdom has, and also … Your emperor Baili Lan knows me and is also my old friend. If you want to prove that I am really a Imperial Protector Princess, then send me to your capital to see the Emperor. ”
”For you to be able to face the Emperor like this, you are just a scammer! You are simply wishful thinking!” The teenager who was standing beside Master Shang Shu immediately let out a dissatisfied sound, raised his finger, and unceremoniously pointed at Chu Yunge's nose with his index finger as he scolded.
”Don't even think about it.” Master Shang Shu immediately scolded the attendants by his side, he then turned his gaze back to Chu Yunge and continued: ”Alright, since this lady says that she is the main culprit and has the honorable identity of Imperial Protector Princess, then take down your order badge and let this official inspect it.”
