After a few days of rest, Du Yaoyao felt much better.
She was rescued by two sons of a hunter, Dashan and Ershan.
After he regained consciousness, he heard the family talking about a girl in a nearby village who was killed by bandits in a sexually abusive way. The girl's parents reported the matter to the police, but the government just told them to wait and see.
The bandits were strong and cunning, and the local soldiers and guards could not do anything to them, so they had to report to the imperial court one level at a time. Because there were few casualties, most of the news could not reach the capital, so the superiors sent some troops to capture a few people and ended the matter. They were unable to completely wipe out the bandit’s den for many years.
So, Du Yaoyao came up with this idea of escaping.
With Shen Jie's character, even if he took action, he would definitely find the person alive or dead afterwards.
The evidence found on the drowned woman was enough to identify her.
Whether Shen Jie believed it or not, his wife was murdered, so he had to pretend to help seek justice.
If the imperial court sends troops, the mountain bandits will be destroyed.
Not only did it relieve the local people's fear, but it also avenged the girl's parents for the loss of their daughter.
This is why the hunter family and the girl's parents are willing to help her.
"Miss, are you awake?" The woman saw Du Yaoyao and came forward.
Du Yaoyao was weak and drowsy most of the time when she woke up. She was afraid that Shen Jie's men would come looking for her, so she planned to leave Jindu in the next two days.
"Thank you for your care these past few days." Du Yaoyao took out a few gold leaves from her pocket, handed them to the woman, and asked, "Please help me hire a carriage. I want to go to Qingzhou today."
It is noon now and the sun is shining. Ershan saw the glittering golden leaves, snatched them from the woman's hand, put them in his mouth and took a bite, and said happily, "Do you want some for the groom and the maid?"
"That couldn't be better." Du Yaoyao gave the woman two more golden melon seeds.
When she went out, the brocade bag around her waist did not contain any rouge or small mirror for touching up makeup, but mostly contained small items made of pure gold for emergencies. I didn't expect it to come in handy this time.
Before leaving in the afternoon, she changed into a worn, gray outfit and wrapped pillows around her waist twice, looking as bloated as a pregnant woman in her seventh or eighth month of pregnancy. His face was painted dark yellow and dotted with countless spots.
When leaving the city gate, the carriage had to undergo routine inspection. Du Yaoyao got off the carriage, and the gate guard came up and tried to touch her.
The groom wearing a straw hat stopped him and spoke in a simple and honest manner, "Sir, my wife had a miscarriage a few days ago. Please be more understanding and understanding." Then he handed the guard an ingot of silver.
The guard took it and glanced at Du Yaoyao. She was ugly and had a big belly. There was no way she was the fairy lady that the censor had rumored. Besides, news came this morning that the lady’s body had been found.
He waved his hands, "Forget it, forget it, hurry up, hurry up..."
Du Yaoyao thought the coachman's voice sounded familiar, so she peeked at his face under his hat. Just as she caught a glimpse of his handsome features, a gust of wind blew past.
A team of mounted guards shouted, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way, everyone!"
"What's wrong? What's this?"
"I don't know, is your Excellency traveling?"
