"Take me there quickly." Cui Mixue couldn't wait to walk in that direction.
Sure enough, there was a woman covered in bruises lying on the path in the mountains, but her face was covered with dust, making it difficult to make out her true appearance for a moment.
"Come, bring this person to my tent. Don't let anyone else know about this." Cui Mixue couldn't recognize the woman's face for a moment, so she just asked someone to bring her to her camp.
I just checked and saw that the woman was still breathing. It seems that she was just unconscious.
So he didn't alert the enemy and waited until he could identify the woman's true appearance before making a decision.
At this moment, Su Mengyan had just been taken care of by the old lady, who was also very welcoming: "Wait a minute, young lady, the rice is still warm in the pot! I'll serve you two bowls."
Su Mengyan was already hungry and didn't care whether the food was edible or not. She just wanted to fill her stomach as soon as possible.
The food that the old lady brought tasted great. After eating it, Su Mengyan felt that her discomfort had improved a lot.
"I think the girl looks good. I'll ask the boss to come and talk to her." After the old lady said this, she twisted her hip and walked away without waiting for Su Mengyan's reaction.
Su Mengyan was left behind feeling uneasy...
The big boss was still wearing the same clothes as before at the foot of the mountain, but he looked extremely majestic now, especially in this dim cave, he seemed a little ferocious, which was a little different from when he was at the foot of the mountain just now.
Su Mengyan suddenly became nervous and the atmosphere became awkward.
"Is the wound serious?" The boss spoke, but his tone was surprisingly gentle.
Su Mengyan didn't know how to respond and looked at the old lady with a pleading look. The old lady understood and said, "They are just superficial injuries when we return to the boss's house."
Seeing that it was the old lady who answered, the boss knew that the girl in front of him was afraid of him. So he simply stated his purpose directly without any hesitation.
"Don't be afraid. I brought you up the mountain to ask for your help."
Now it was Su Mengyan's turn to be confused. She seemed to have never met the people here before, and didn't know how she could help them.
"What do you mean, Boss?" Su Mengyan asked warily.
The head of the family sighed and said, "Then I will tell you a story!"
"I was originally a local businessman with some wealth. I had a beautiful wife and a daughter, and my life was pretty good."
The big boss fell into memories, and there was a hint of tenderness between his ferocious brows. Su Mengyan could see that he must love his wife and daughter very much.
"But this local prefect coveted my wife's beauty, and while I was out on business, he actually..." When the boss said this, his voice was choked with sobs, and his words trembled, as if he was choking with sobs.
"He insulted my wife and children, and even...he even brought his men to defile my wife in front of my daughter."
Su Mengyan's eyes widened when she heard this. This...
The boss seems to have had a rough life!
But why would this prefect, who is supposed to be a local civilian official, do such a thing? It's simply contempt for the imperial power!
"What's even worse is that they insulted my wife and even my little daughter, who just turned twelve! They're nothing but beasts!"
When the boss said this, tears welled up in his eyes, as if everything was still before his eyes and had never left.
"This..." Su Mengyan didn't know what to say and hesitated.
After hearing this, the old lady quietly retreated. This was the sad past of the boss, and it was not good for her to listen to it here!
"What happened later?" Su Mengyan noticed this, but looking at the man in front of her, she seemed to understand why he became a bandit.
"When I came back from my business and learned the bad news, I knew that murder should be punished with death, so I rushed directly to the government office and killed the beast who insulted my wife and children." The boss looked very calm, as if this was nothing surprising.
"I thought this matter would end, but this official protected each other, and my blood feud was turned upside down by that official. He said that my wife deliberately seduced that bastard, and rumors started spreading everywhere."
Su Mengyan opened her mouth in disbelief...
"My poor wife was insulted to death, and even after her death she is still being criticized and labeled as immoral. How can I tolerate this?"
"I will become a bandit and oppose the government at every turn. Since Heaven will not tolerate me, I will become a bandit to make their political achievements uneasy."
At this point, Su Mengyan roughly understood why the boss came here as a bandit. But since the boss had a decent character, why did he bring her here?
Shouldn't he hate these things the most?
This boss is a bit too miserable. I think he was forced to become a bandit. What he was like back then was probably even more thrilling than what he said.
Like Dou E, should she tell the boss that she can help him?
Situ Yao can see the emperor at any time. If local officials refuse to do so, he can directly file a complaint with the emperor and ask him to clear the grievances of the boss's family.
There are many inconveniences in this mountain, and since you can be a good citizen, why should you become a bandit?
But how could he explain his identity to the headmaster? Seeing how much he disliked officials, he must have felt that the royal family was even more disgusted...
If I don't say it out loud, I'm sure the boss will stay here for the rest of his life!
Right now, Situ Yao has been ordered to suppress the bandits, and the boss is also...
Revealing her identity might put her in danger, but if she didn't say it, she would feel really unbearable. The boss saved her life. If it weren't for the boss, she might have been humiliated and died at this moment!
"There's something I don't know whether I should say or not." Su Mengyan mustered up the courage and decided to say it.
"speak."
The boss didn't take it seriously and seemed to know what Su Mengyan was going to say, which was just some words to comfort him.
But what's the point? His own great injustice has no solution, and his wife still bears that reputation.
"I'm not a girl from an ordinary family. I'm someone close to the prince." Su Mengyan spoke slowly, enunciating each word, her eyes eagerly paying attention to the boss's expression.
The eldest boss was stunned when he heard the unexpected words, and then asked in confusion: "What did the girl say?"
Su Mengyan exhaled again and said, "I am the Crown Prince's close associate. The boss can tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about these matters, and His Royal Highness will naturally make the decision for the boss."
"The Emperor's grace is immense. How could he ignore such a great injustice?"
After she said this, she looked at the boss's expression carefully. She had expressed the frustration in her heart and let it out.
This time, the boss heard Su Mengyan's words clearly, frowned, and his expression changed immediately.
