Qiuyue shook her head decisively, "If he won't let us go, he might even kill us to silence us."
Her words surprised Su Muer. She didn't expect Qiuyue's mind to be so clear. She sighed with relief and nodded,
"It seems that you are a smart man. In that case, why not cooperate with us? I can keep your whole family safe."
Hearing this, Chunhua also fell to her knees with a thump, "Princess, do you really mean what you said?"
Su Mu'er nodded heavily, "Of course I take it seriously."
Qiuyue thought for a while and nodded:
"Anyway, we are going to die, so why not trust the princess once? Please tell me, princess, what should we do?"
Su Muer pulled the corner of her mouth and chuckled:
"Tell me, what happened to the prince in Jiangnan City? Is his death related to the person named Zhu?"
Her question made Qiuyue and Chunhua look at each other in confusion, then they both nodded.
"We only heard that the prince slipped down a ditch and disappeared, but one time when I went to deliver fruit to the eldest lady, I heard the eldest lady asking the prince a question."
"What words?"
Su Muer's expression suddenly became alert.
Qiuyue bit her lip and whispered:
"The eldest lady asked the master: If the prince is dead, what should I do if the court blames me? The master replied: The man is dead and his body is not intact. Is it possible that the court can still find out that it was me? The eldest lady asked again: What about the relationship between Mr. Bai and Mr. Bai?
Ye Shihan's relationship is very good. There is no guarantee that he won't find out what happened here. The master replied: What are you afraid of? What can he find out? I have taken care of the entire Jiangnan City. Who let Ye Shihan be nosy? His arms are stretched out
If it gets longer, I will naturally break it for him."
Having said this, Qiuyue raised her eyes and looked at Su Muer. At this time, Su Muer's eyes were already red and her face was ashen.
It seemed that her guess was indeed correct. Someone was indeed obstructing this matter. She had long felt that Ye Shihan was not someone who fell into the ditch so easily.
Qiuyue raised her eyes and looked at Su Muer and said:
"Princess, the man surnamed Zhu didn't really send people along the river to find the prince. He was just showing off when people from the court came. He was afraid that people would discover the evil deeds he had done in Jiangnan City."
Su Muer frowned and looked at her,
"What else has he done?"
Chunhua answered first:
"He rapes women from the countryside, and he will take them back as long as they are over ten years old. As far as I know, there is a house in the backyard of his government office, and there are women in it, who are dressed up and dressed up all day long for his enjoyment.
It’s simply more lively than the emperor’s harem.”
Qiuyue frowned and glared at her, "Do you know what the emperor's harem is like?"
Chunhua pursed her lips and said:
"The emperor's harem is nothing more than this."
When Su Muer heard this, she felt as if the top of her head had been exploded. She let out a long sigh and then asked:
"That's not all his bad deeds, right?"
Qiuyue nodded heavily, "What the princess said is absolutely true. He is also greedy and unreasonably asked the people to add 30% to the taxes collected by the court to satisfy his selfish desires. It is precisely because the prince discovered these tricks of his and wanted to
He wanted to be put to death after the flood control was over, so he killed the prince first."
Qiuyue's analysis made Su Muer think it was reasonable. She had long suspected that there was something wrong with Ye Shihan's sudden disappearance. It seemed that the problem was not small.
She asked again:
"Then none of these Jiangnan City officials are righteous?"
"have."
Chunhua said directly:
"There are several righteous officials in Jiangnan City, but they are all suppressed by this man named Zhu and have no real power. They dare to be angry but dare not speak out."
So that’s it.
Su Muer nodded, "I understand. It's getting late. You go back first. I'll tell you what to do tomorrow morning."
After Chunhua and Qiuyue bowed, they slowly retreated.
Su Mu'er began to fall into deep thought. She called out countless times in her heart, 'Ye Shihan, where are you, where are you?'
At this moment, she felt someone moving at the window. She hurriedly got up and turned off the light, then hid by the bed porch and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
Suddenly, someone pushed the window directly in. She hit the person on the head with her arm. The person was hit with an ouch, and then she whispered:
"Princess, please spare your life, Princess, please spare your life."
This person doesn't look like an assassin. If he were an assassin, he wouldn't be able to dodge even her little tricks.
She flashed in front of the man, who bowed and saluted.
"Princess, please forgive me for offending me. I really have no choice but to do this."
Su Muer frowned and looked at him,
"What do you mean?"
"I have been ordered by Lord Zhang to invite the princess to come over and have a talk."
"Master Zhang?"
Su Muer frowned and looked at him, "Who is Mr. Zhang?"
"He is Zhang Tongzhi, Lord Zhu's deputy."
"Why did he ask me to go?"
The visitor was a little hesitant, "Well... Mr. Zhang said that if the princess wants to make decisions for the people and wants to know the real cause of the prince's death, then go see him. If not, she doesn't have to go."
Su Mu'er smiled in her heart. It seemed that Mr. Zhang was a noble person. He wanted to invite her, the princess, and see her go there in person. However, she was very interested in meeting Mr. Wang.
"good."
She nodded slightly, "In that case, I will go see him. Where is he?"
"Princess, please follow me."
After saying that, he opened the door and looked around cautiously, then hurriedly led Su Muer downstairs.
The guests staying in this inn were usually people from official families. Since all the people in the imperial court had finally withdrawn to the capital, it was relatively quiet at night, so naturally no one noticed when they went out.
This man led her forward in a limping manner. If she hadn't learned some skills, she would definitely not have followed this man in this strange place in the dead of night.
But now she is not afraid of anything. She wants to find out the reason why Ye Shihan fell into the water, and she wants to avenge him.
"Princess, please slow down, Mr. Wang is doing this out of help."
Su Muer chuckled secretly. It seemed that Mr. Wang was a cautious person, but she should also be careful not to fall into the trap of Zhu. She was now the biggest threat to Zhu in Jiangnan City and could not be protected.
Seeing that the Chunhua Qiuyue sisters had not succeeded, he did not take any more drastic action.
She frowned and walked for a while, and the man finally took her to a ruined temple. He turned around and said to her:
"Princess, please come inside. The villain is watching from the outside. Lord Wang is waiting for you inside."
Although Su Mu'er was a little worried, she was already here and there was no reason for her to retreat temporarily.
So she nodded, raised her hand slightly, and pushed open the wooden door that could break at any time.
The door opened with a creak, and it was dark inside. Through the faint moonlight, she called inside:
