Thinking of this, she instantly showed a look of fear in her eyes, turned around and ran away, shouting: "Murder, murder! Help..."
Su Li's house was a shop door facing the street, with pedestrians coming and going in front of it. The quarrel between the two had already attracted the attention of passers-by, and many people stopped to watch the excitement.
Everyone thought it was just a quarrel between two girls, but they didn't expect that the other girl would take out a dagger and chase after the other girl.
Attacking with a knife in the street!
This is against the law!
Some timid pedestrians who were afraid of being accidentally injured ran away. Of course, there were also many brave people who stepped forward and held down Zhang Yaoyue.
Su Li took the opportunity to act pitiful: "Neighbors, please judge for me. This woman coveted my husband and has been pestering him for a long time. He ignored her, so she took her anger out on me. She has tried to harm me many times but failed, and now she wants to kill me..."
Those who had been watching silently, unable to tell who was right and who was wrong, especially the woman, could not help but curse after hearing her words: "How could there be such a vicious woman!"
"That's right, stealing someone's husband is shameless enough, and now you're even going to beat and kill him..."
"What a madman! Are you crazy about men?"
Zhang Yaoyue was so angry that her eyes turned red after being pointed at and scolded like that: "No way! Brother Pei is mine, he is mine! If it weren't for this bitch who was bullying him, Brother Pei would have married me long ago!"
She struggled desperately: "Let me go! Why did you arrest me?"
"Look, look, she's so arrogant even when she's trying to steal someone else's husband. How shameless!"
There is no woman who doesn't hate the bitch who destroys other people's families. Zhang Yaoyue's words were undoubtedly a self-admission, which made those women scold her.
"Everyone," Su Li continued, "I'm going to report this to the police. This woman wants to kill me. I ask you to testify for me and seek justice for me!"
"Don't worry, I'll testify for you!" A woman's voice rang out.
"I'll testify for you too!"
“…”
"What's going on? What happened?"
Just then, a patrol team from the county government passed by.
Su Li stepped forward and said, "Captain Yang, you've arrived just in time. I was just about to report this to the police. This woman..." She looked at Zhang Yaoyue, who was being held down by several people, "is trying to kill me. Everyone can testify to this."
"Yes, everyone saw it. This woman was holding a knife and trying to kill this lady!"
"Yes, we can all testify!" Several women spoke up.
Having just been in court a few days ago, Captain Yang naturally recognized Su Li and knew about the grudge between her and Zhang Yaoyue.
I didn't expect Zhang Yaoyue to be so bold and brainless, actually daring to kill someone in the street. It's really...
"Take the man away!" Captain Yang said, and the two constables behind him immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Yaoyue.
Looking at Su Li, he said politely, "Madam Pei, please come with us to the government office."
After all, Pei Ji is the provincial champion and will be an official in the future, so he has to be given some face and naturally be polite to his wife.
Su Li nodded and followed him to the county government office.
Afterwards, Zhang Yaoyue attacked with a knife in the street. There were many witnesses and she had no way to defend herself. The county magistrate convicted her of attempted murder on the spot and sentenced her to three years in prison!
When Zhang's father and mother arrived at the county government office, they learned that their daughter had been sentenced to three years in prison. Zhang's mother fainted on the spot, and Zhang's father was so disappointed that he didn't even look at Zhang Yaoyue.
If a child is not disciplined, it is the fault of his father. Zhang Yaoyue's behavior is closely related to her family's indulgence of her. Su Li had no sympathy for this. He signed the document and left the yamen.
It was dark when she got home. After dinner, she cleaned the house and packed the things she would take with her to the capital the next day. Then she boiled a pot of hot water and took a comfortable bath before going to bed.
The next morning, the carriage from the mule and horse shop and the Qin Dao brothers were waiting for her outside the door on horseback.
Seeing Su Li coming out with a large bag of luggage, the coachman immediately stepped forward to help her put the luggage into the carriage.
Coincidentally, this groom was actually one of the grooms who went to Qiongzhou last time, Lao Chen.
They were all acquaintances, so after greeting each other, they set off without any delay.
It was spring, and unlike the last time I went to Qiongzhou in autumn and winter, along the way, there were wild flowers everywhere and the grass and trees were thriving.
On the official road, the carriage was moving forward at a constant speed, and Qin Dao and Qin Yi were riding horses following behind the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Su Li lowered the curtain and picked up the map beside him.
Although the groom and the others had their own maps, she was still in the habit of looking at the maps along the way.
She looked at the map carefully and estimated that based on the current speed, they would reach the capital in about seven or eight days.
Just then, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the intersection ahead.
Are we going to run into bandits again? We're still on the official road. The security in the Great Jin Kingdom is terrible.
Su Li muttered to herself as she opened the carriage door: "What happened?"
Qin Dao and Qin Yi were walking in front of the carriage, while another had already ridden up to see what was going on.
Old Chen shook his head: "It's not clear yet. It looks like three men are dealing with a woman, but I don't know why."
Old Chen didn't dare to jump to conclusions. After all, he had been a coachman for many years and had seen all kinds of things. A situation like several men attacking a woman, or a woman asking for help from passers-by, could all be traps set by criminals against passers-by.
In short, based on his experience, just be cautious and don't meddle in other people's business.
Su Li looked at the intersection ahead and saw three tall and strong men holding long swords fighting with a woman.
However, it was obvious that the woman was no match for the three men. They surrounded her leisurely, neither defeating her directly nor leaving her with any way to escape, teasing her like a cat playing with a mouse.
A man jokingly said: "Hey, you've been fighting for so long, and you still have the energy, hahahaha..."
"Hahaha... interesting, interesting!"
When several people saw Qin Yi coming forward, they didn't take him seriously at all and said arrogantly: "If you want to pass, please pass quickly. Don't spoil my fun!"
Tsk!
How arrogant!
Qin Dao and Qin Yi shared the same idea as Lao Chen, which was to mind their own business if possible, so as to avoid falling into other people's traps.
Qin Yi waved in front, signaling Su Li and others to move forward.
"Big brother, I'm the third daughter of the Ningyuan Marquisate in the capital. If you save me, I will reward you handsomely!" At this moment, the woman turned and shouted at Qin Yi in front of her, "I keep my word!"
At this moment, Su Li happened to see the woman's face.
A Yue!
Why is she here?
"Are you the third daughter of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion? I'm still the third prince!"
"Would a young lady from the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion dress like you, neither male nor female? Would she be alone outside? Who are you kidding?"
"That's right, if you want to trick people into saving you, at least find a decent excuse, hahahahaha!"
The three men surrounding her laughed mercilessly.
One of them said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense with her and take her back!"
The three of them subdued her effortlessly.
