At that moment, it happened to block her way.
Zheng Quchi already knew about this matter and that they were secretly searching for Princess Sheng'an. In order not to interfere with official business, she had no objections and went with them.
Anyway, once they compare the portraits and the two faces don't match, they'll naturally release the person.
When she arrived, there was already a small line of people in front of the bulletin board. She was watched as she walked over and quietly lined up. Soon after, more people arrived behind her.
She thought it would just be a simple face comparison, but to her utter surprise, the city guard in charge of the investigation immediately asked, "Name, age, place of residence, and who lives in your family?"
On his desk were more than a dozen household registration books, presumably to verify the authenticity of the information provided. Locals were listed, while outsiders had to present their travel documents and travel permits to verify their identity.
Therefore, it is not feasible to make false claims or impersonate someone else.
She was about to answer when she suddenly remembered something extremely dangerous.
"..."
She can't use the name "Sang Xuanqing" anymore because "Sang Xuanqing" is a boy; she can only use the name "Zheng Quchi." But this name is no longer a secret and seems to be quite well-known. Should she use it...?

Wow!
Isn't that the general's wife's name?
However, the city garrison commander had long suspected her and did not believe a single word she said. He looked Zheng Quchi up and down, noticing her village girl-like appearance, and sneered, "Ha, if you're the general's wife, then I'm still the general! Hurry up and arrest this suspicious person and send her to the county jail!"
"...I am not the person you are looking for. Look, I am not the same person as the woman in the painting at all!" Zheng Quchi continued to argue his point.
Even if you don't believe she's the general's wife, you should at least believe she's not Princess Sheng'an, right?
The evidence is posted on the bulletin board.
“You are certainly not the person the notice board is looking for. Your origins are unknown, and your actions are secretive. I would have suspected that you were a bandit who infiltrated the area to gather information!”
