Chapter 430 Su Yue Returns to Beijing
Su Yue was so happy to have such a hot spring on such a cold day. She let go of Murong Li's hand and went straight to the largest hot spring in the middle.
When she reached the edge, Su Yue reached out and touched the water. The temperature was just right, around 40 degrees Celsius. So she released her mental power to check around. There was no one else except Murong Li. She immediately undressed and jumped into the hot spring with a splash.
Murong Li, who was following behind, raised the corners of his mouth when he saw this. He undressed without saying a word, then jumped into the hot spring pool and hugged Su Yue, who was rejoicing in the hot spring pool, in his arms. Seeing such a warm scene, how could he not do something?
In a small county town outside Qingfeng County, the county town is called Baofeng County, which is more than 300 miles away from Qingniu Pass.
Su Yue and Murong Li stayed in the hot spring pool for two days. When leaving, she took a look at the hot spring in her space, and then went down the mountain happily. The next day, she was escorted back to the capital by two secret guards.
There were two secret guards, one male and one female. The female secret guard was responsible for carrying her on her back and using light skills to travel, while the other secret guard was responsible for her safety.
When the three of them arrived here, it was already dark and it started to rain. It was not suitable to travel on a rainy night, so Su Yue decided to stay in the city for one night.
The three of them found an inn to stay in.
After a day's journey, the three of them rested early.
“Knock knock knock…”
Suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the door of Su Yue's room, and there was also noise outside the door.
"Open the door, open the door, check the room!"
Someone outside was shouting impatiently and kicking the door.
Su Yue opened her eyes and immediately turned over and got up, turned on the light, quickly put on her clothes, and then went to open the door.
"What are you doing in the house so slowly? Is there someone shameful in the house?"
As the door opened, a man in yamen runner's uniform shouted at Su Yue.
But when he saw Su Yue's face, he was stunned and stared at her.
"Why are you checking this room so late? Don't you know there's a woman living in this room?"
Su Yue frowned and looked at the ferocious-looking yamen runner and asked coldly.
"I'm checking your room. It doesn't matter if you have a man or a woman living in your room. Please move aside. I want to check if there are any fugitives wanted by this county hiding in your room."
The bailiff withdrew his gaze and looked inside the house. When he saw no one there, he pushed Su Yue away and rushed in, rummaging around in the house.
Several yamen runners behind him also rushed in and rummaged through the house.
Su Yue stood at the door with her arms folded, watching them rummaging through the room. In an instant, the room was in a mess. Even the mattress was turned over and thrown on the ground, and they almost took the bed apart.
There was also a wardrobe in the room, but there was nothing inside. The yamen runner poked inside with his knife.
"No one, let's go."
After several yamen runners searched the room thoroughly, they found nothing. One of them waved his hand and shouted, and they left the room.
He didn't take Su Yue, the guest, seriously at all and even glared at her fiercely when he left.
Su Yue watched them knock on the door of the next door with a sullen face.
"master."
As soon as the yamen runners left, the female secret guard Yueying immediately flashed down, bowed to Su Yue, and kept looking her over. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was fine.
The master was a delicate and fragile person, and had just been pushed roughly by the yamen runner. She was afraid that the push might hurt the master, and she even wanted to jump out and kill the yamen runner.
"Shall we go out and see what's going on?"
Su Yue waved at Yueying, meaning that she was fine.
The yamen runners came to check the room in the middle of the night. Judging from their behavior, they didn't look like they were checking the room at all, but more like bandits.
This is not normal. Since she has encountered it, she will see what is going on. If the county magistrate here is doing something secretly, she will kill him.
"Okay, master, be careful." Yueying nodded.
"Um."
Su Yue nodded softly, then walked out of the door with Yueying and stood on the corridor. At this time, several yamen runners had already knocked on the door of the house next door.
There seemed to be a couple living next door. There were sounds of the woman crying and the man begging in the house.
Soon, a bailiff came out dragging a man and dragged him downstairs without saying a word.
The woman in the house rushed out and chased after him, shouting, "Sir, sir, please let my husband go. He didn't do anything. We are just ordinary farmers. Why are you arresting my husband?"
Su Yue's eyes darkened when she heard this. She gestured to Yueying, and the two of them immediately followed her downstairs.
The lobby was brightly lit with candles, and there were several yamen runners sitting there. Beside them, on the ground, several men were squatting on the ground, holding their heads and shivering.
The man who was dragged down from the upstairs was thrown into the crowd by the yamen runner. The man staggered and fell to the ground.
"Get down!"
The bailiff stepped forward and kicked him again, saying viciously.
The man's face turned pale after being kicked, and he quickly squatted down.
"Husband."
Seeing this, the woman who was chasing behind immediately pounced on the man.
"Get out of here! If you make any more noise, I'll arrest you too."
The yamen runner who threw the man kicked the woman again. The woman was running so fast that she was kicked directly. She screamed and fell backwards.
Su Yue quickly winked at Yueying, and Yueying immediately ran to catch the woman. The woman was not injured from the fall, but her face turned pale from being kicked by the yamen runner. It was obvious that the kick was not light.
"Boss, there's no one upstairs."
The yamen runner who kicked people glared at Su Yue and the others, walked up to a yamen runner who was sitting with his legs crossed, and nodded and bowed.
"Who are you and why are you arresting people in the inn in the middle of the night?"
Su Yue quickly walked up to the man with his legs crossed and asked sternly before the yamen runner could say anything.
Seeing a young lady with stunning appearance, extraordinary temperament and expensive brocade clothes, the man narrowed his eyes, a wicked glint flashed in his eyes. He stood up and walked around Su Yue. He said nonchalantly: "Young lady, why don't you sleep well and come to meddle in the affairs of the officials? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
But he was thinking in his mind that this young lady was obviously not an ordinary person.
He knew all the rich and prestigious people in the county, but he had never seen this young lady. Could it be that this young lady came from another place?
"You brought a large group of people to disturb my sweet dreams. How can I sleep? If you don't explain the reason today, I will report you to the authorities."
Su Yue pointed at the men on the ground and said, "This bailiff arrested people for no reason, and they were all men. This has to make people suspicious."
"Hahaha... young lady, you are such a joker! I am a government official, and you are actually going to file a complaint with the government. Do you want me to take you there?"
The man on the other end was laughing unhappily, as if he had heard some great joke.
Even the yamen runners next to him laughed out loud, laughing at Su Yue for overestimating her own abilities.
