Chapter 330: Chapter 329: The City Gate is Blocked, Xue’er Gets Angry! _1
With that, he led his men in a rush to chase after Jun Ruoxue.
Jun Ruoxue sat in the carriage, frequently looking back.
"How is it? Have Fatty Su’s men caught up?"
Zi Lan quickly reassured her on the side.
"Miss, you don’t need to worry, this plan is so good, your servant predicts that Lord Su cannot resist it, we will soon get good news."
"I also believe this plan is good, but I’m still worried..."
"Shush, Miss, they’ve caught up!"
Zi Lan’s face suddenly changed.
Jun Ruoxue furrowed her brows: "Quick! Tell the coachman to speed up the horses, we must break through the city gate as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Miss!"
The coachman hurriedly responded, and with a shout of "Go!", the horses neighed in response, and the speed of the carriage increased a few notches.
It was currently midsummer, and the sky was gradually getting brighter.
All over the street, there were people sweeping and soldiers carrying long spears on patrol.
Dawn, the time to open the city gates, was nearing!
The group quickly arrived under the city gate, which was yet to open.
An attendant rushed out, holding Jun Ruoxue’s token of command and started communicating with the city guards, it seemed he even slipped something into the guards’ hand.
Watching the conversation between the two, Jun Ruoxue in the carriage furrowed her eyebrows.
Zi Lan was also extremely anxious: "Miss, should your servant go down to communicate with these people?"
Jun Ruoxue thought for a moment, and decisively shook her head.
"No need, if you go, it might make things worse."
Just as she was speaking, the city guard turned back and walked towards Jun Ruoxue’s carriage.
"This humble servant, City Guard Ma Wu, pays his respects to Miss Jun."
Zi Lan gently lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, revealing Jun Ruoxue’s face inside the carriage: "No troubles! Sir, you’ve worked hard, may I know if your inspection is complete, can we leave the city now?"
How can the inspection be completed if it hasn’t even started yet?
This Ma Wu was a clever man, he immediately understood and quickly reported: "Miss Jun, rest assured, the inspection has been completed. Please, Miss Jun!"
"Then that’s good."
Jun Ruoxue nodded her head satisfactorily.
This Ma Wu was quite a reasonable man.
"Let them go!"
Ma Wu shouted loudly.
The tightly closed city gate slowly opened, and the drawbridge was gently lowered.
Jun Ruoxue and Zi Lan both heaved a sigh of relief!
Finally, they safely left the city!
Jun Ruoxue laughed covering her mouth: "I didn’t expect, it was so easy to leave the city. If I had known earlier..."
"Wait! Wait, no one is allowed to leave the city!"
Sudden hooves thundered behind them, as Su Sikong led a group of men chasing them from behind.
He dismounted, directly blocking Jun Ruoxue’s carriage, smiling with a face full of radiance.
"Miss Jun, Miss Jun, we meet again. We are indeed fated!"
Jun Ruoxue was livid!
We’re almost out of the city, and this Fatty Su is actually coming to hinder us once again?
"Lord Su, whatever brings you here in such haste? Had you and your daughter not caused enough trouble in my garden, do you wish to continue causing a fuss?"
"Miss Jun, why would you say such a thing? As the deputy county magistrate of Yongze County, it is only natural that I am responsible for the peace and order of the county. Last night, the outlaw snuck into the county government office. Right now, he could be hiding somewhere, intending to slip out of the city. We can’t simply ignore it, we have to catch him..."
"Lord Su, what are you implying?"
Jun Ruoxue pulled open the carriage curtain in a huff, "Are you suggesting that I’m harboring the outlaw and helping him to escape the city?"
"I did not intend to suggest any such thing!"
Su Sikong bowed down in an earnest righteousness and plowed on, "However, considering the outlaw’s extreme evil and cunning nature, I’m worried he might have sneaked into Miss Jun’s ranks unnoticed. It’s a small matter if the criminal escapes, but if it causes harm to Miss Jun, I shall not hesitate to put myself to death!"
"Ha! Talking about death? Why don’t you go and commit suicide by jumping into the river? Humph!"
Jun Ruoxue was fuming with anger and she didn’t even try to hide it.
But would Su Sikong let her get in his way?
"However, now is the critical moment to catch the fugitive. How can I stand idly by and allow the common people of Yongze county to be caught in this calamity? I have to swiftly bring the fugitive to justice."
"If you want to capture the fugitive, Lord Su, go ahead! What’s the point of bantering with me here?"
Resting her chin on her hands, Jun Ruoxue looked thoroughly bored.
Suddenly, Su Sikong gave a deep bow, "I’m immensely grateful to Miss Jun for her generosity."
Jun Rouxue blinked her bright and glistening eyes in confusion, when had she been generous?
The next moment, however, Su Sikong stood upright and waved his hand towards the soldiers.
"Miss Jun has allowed us to assist in capturing the fugitive! Move swiftly, and make sure to thoroughly search. Do not let the fugitive escape and pose a threat to Miss Jun, and certainly do not disturb Miss Jun! Whoever dares to publicly comply but privately oppose will have to face my wrath. Is that understood?"
"Understood!"
The soldiers responded in unison, and swiftly swung into action.
With an astonished look on her face, Jun Ruoxue watched as the soldiers quickly surrounded her and began to search her ranks.
But she didn’t utter a sound.
Filled with rage, she slammed the curtain!
"Su Sikong, what the hell do you want?"
Su Sikong put on an innocent face: "Miss Jun, I merely did what you asked of me! Miss Jun said that you wanted to go in search of Lord Jun, and thus I didn’t dare to obstruct. You also just told me to go catch the criminal and stop wasting time. I certainly didn’t dare to disobey!"
Jun Ruoxue trembled uncontrollably with rage.
"You, you, you, Su Sikong! I, Jun Ruoxue, swear I’ll remember this! Humph!"
"Having my name remembered by Miss Jun is an honor. Thank you, Miss Jun."
Su Sikong replied, taking another deep bow towards Jun Ruoxue.
Infuriated, Jun Ruoxue trembled uncontrollably. She angrily pulled down the curtain, refusing to attend to him any longer.
Su Sikong pretended to look terrified.
Inwardly, however, he was overjoyed!
Ha, does this immature girl actually think she can compete against me, Su Sikong?
Even though you come from an extraordinary background and I can’t defy you, as long as I have a handle on you for sheltering a heavy criminal, in future, you probably will have to give me some respect!
While these two quarreled, Su Yue’er was desperately searching elsewhere.
The only people left in Jun Ruoxue’s garden were a few servants, who were powerless against the gaggle of officials bustling about.
They quickly turned the garden upside down.
Su Yue’er was standing in Jun Ruoxue’s boudoir, staring at the Female-respected Han Baiyu Guanyin statue in the room. Her face was pale for an unknown reason.
She had been scared when she arrived earlier and hadn’t had time to look carefully at the things in the room. Now, with a closer look, she saw that the ornaments in the room were extremely classic and exquisite. Underneath their apparent modesty revealed their elegance and nobility. The owner certainly has a remarkable taste.
Compared to the decorations of her room that looked not bad on a usual day, the difference is like heaven and earth, reminiscent of the contrast between a noble and a newly risen rich man.
