The officers and soldiers were aggressive and began searching the room without any explanation.
When the body was pulled out from under the bed, the air in the room stagnated for a few seconds.
[This is terrible. This is the end. ]
Xiao Ruyu put on a bitter face and looked at Doctor Yang for help.
Although Doctor Yang was a little flustered, he remembered that Meng Zhenling had just come a few days ago and wanted to mention his name.
"Meng Zhenling is my acquaintance, but please call him over. This is a case of injustice."
Unexpectedly, when he said this, the officers and soldiers looked at him strangely.
"Meng Zhenling? He just went out to do some business a few days ago. Who are you to him?"
"No one can do it! The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Take him away!"
【Master, your life-saving straw has gone out. 】
Xiao Ruyu looked at Doctor Yang with a wry smile.
The coroner stepped forward to check the body's scent, then shook his head.
“They are all dead.”
"Well, you dare to murder an official appointed by the imperial court."
The leading officer pointed at the men and said angrily, "I think you are really bold. Put you in jail right now!"
In the prison.
Several people were pushed and shoved into the prison, and the officers and soldiers arrested them and put them in jail on the charge of murdering officials.
The prison was extremely cold and gloomy, and Xiao Ruyu's hands and feet were cuffed. He felt extremely wronged.
She stretched out her little hands, struggled out of the handcuffs, grabbed the prison door and opened her mouth to explain.
"We didn't kill the person!"
"This person died on his own. We just brought the body back for investigation."
"You've got the wrong guy!"
Her teeth were not fully developed yet, her speech was a little slurred, and she spoke very quickly in her eagerness to explain.
The officers and soldiers escorting them were also a little deaf and looked at her with confusion on their faces as she spoke.
"What fool? What eagle? Where did the eagle come from?"
"You little kid, you are so noisy even though you are still so young. If you keep making noise, I will sew your mouth shut!"
After saying that, he slammed the prison door shut with a bang, no longer paying attention to Xiao Ruyu's words.
【How can this person be like this! 】
Xiao Ruyu sat down on the ground angrily, looking at this prison, feeling depressed.
[It’s been less than a few months since I was released, and I’ve been thrown into jail for the nth time. ]
[If my mother knew about this, I’m afraid she would never let me out again.]
She glanced around at Doctor Yang and Eleven and saw that they both looked calm and didn't say a word.
[Master, Eleven, why aren't you panicking at all? ]
【We were all thrown into jail.】
She snuggled into Eleven's arms with a feeling of grievance, feeling that there was something strange about this matter.
[Why did they catch up with us just after we arrived at the inn? Don’t you think this is a bit strange? ]
Doctor Yang was rubbing his chin, thinking for a moment.
"This matter is indeed a bit strange. We are afraid that we have been set up."
"Indeed, we are probably being tricked."
Eleven nodded in agreement. "Even if we dragged the body back to the inn, it wouldn't be so quick if someone reported it to the police."
[Now we have caught the perpetrator red-handed, and we have no way to defend ourselves. ]
Xiao Ruyu gritted her teeth and looked at Doctor Yang.
He still looked calm and composed, leaning against a wall that he had just cleaned up, looking at her with a half-smile.
[Master, please think of a solution quickly. I don’t want to suffer this imprisonment anymore.]
Xiao Ruyu moved closer and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Doctor Yang saw her like this, wiped her tears gently and spoke calmly.
"We must have been framed this time. Moreover, we were targeted at a time when Meng Zhenling was not in the city, and others did not know our identities."
【So what should we do next? 】
She pursed her lips and sighed repeatedly.
Doctor Yang rubbed her head and spoke with a smile.
"Master, I remember that this isn't the first time the little princess has been imprisoned?"
Seeing Xiao Ruyu nodded, he continued to ask questions.
"How did the little princess escape last time?"
Xiao Ruyu tilted his head, fell into deep thought, and recalled the scene from last time.
[Last time, Eleven and I unlocked the door and slipped out while the jailer was asleep.]
She looked at Doctor Yang's expression of understanding and suddenly realized.
[Master means that we should use the same trick again and escape from prison again! ]
"The little princess is really smart."
Doctor Yang smiled and patted her head.
"Then do as the little princess says."
At midnight, cool wind blew through the window into the narrow prison corridor.
Xiao Ruyu sneezed and glanced outside.
Most of the prisoners in the cell had fallen asleep, but the jailers showed no signs of resting.
Her body suddenly felt hot and she looked up. Eleven had taken off his coat and put it on her.
"It's cold at night, little princess, don't catch a cold."
[Eleven, why haven't they fallen asleep yet? It will be difficult for us to move.]
Xiao Ruyu looked at the jailer who was still patrolling with a worried look on his face, thinking of other ways in his mind.
At the end of the prison corridor, several jailers were drinking with their fists together, and it didn't look like they would stop for a while.
Doctor Yang also came over and seeing Xiao Ruyu's worried look, he took out a bag of medicine powder from his arms.
【What's this?】
When she opened the object and smelled a familiar scent, she instantly understood.
[Sweating drug?! ]
Seeing Doctor Yang nodded, Xiao Ruyu had an idea in mind.
She summoned a trace of spiritual power from her wrist and poured the powder into the jailer's cup without anyone noticing.
The jailers were drinking happily and didn't notice anything unusual.
Half an incense stick later, a group of people were lying on the table.
【Eleven, pry the door open quickly. 】
After she saw the jailer was knocked unconscious, she quickly ordered Eleven to take action.
After Eleven knocked open the lock easily, he ran out holding Xiao Ruyu.
【Wait, Master is still behind. 】
As she ran, she looked back and saw Doctor Yang catching up with her.
Fortunately, the jailers were out drinking and there was no one guarding the door, so the three men escaped easily.
Xiao Ruyu patted his chest proudly and showed off to Doctor Yang.
[Master, what do you think? Eleven and I are a match made in heaven. ]
When Doctor Yang heard this, he burst out laughing and tapped her nose.
"My little princess, this isn't the way to use a match made in heaven."
Xiao Ruyu didn't understand what he meant, but when she saw Doctor Yang walking in the opposite direction of the inn, she quickly spoke up to remind him.
[Master, the inn is not in that direction. ]
"Master knows that there are more important things to do right now."
Doctor Yang walked anxiously.
"The body should still be in the government office. Let's do an autopsy first to find out what caused this person to lose consciousness."
Xiao Ruyu reacted and asked Eleven to follow closely.
The body was placed in the courtyard of the yamen, and several people were preparing to climb over the wall to get in.
As Eleven climbed over the wall, his face changed and he made a gesture to the two people below the wall to keep quiet.
【Anyone there?】
Xiao Ruyu asked him quietly in her heart.
When she saw Eleven nod, her heart skipped a beat.
Who would still be guarding a dead body at this late hour?
