Chu Junlan was escorted out of the door, and he saw a mule cart parked on the side of the road, and a station cage was placed on the car.

The so-called standing cage is a kind of wooden cage, specially designed for torturing prisoners, the cage is set up to only stand one person, and it is highly tricky, so that people can't stand up straight and squat.

Chu Junlan was pushed into the car and stuffed into the cage, as soon as she stretched her head out from the top of the cage, her shoulders were pressed by two thick logs, and the servants locked her hands, Chu Junlan's height was tall among women, and the height of the cage was only enough for her to bend her legs, even if she wanted to take a horse step, the space was not enough.

Such an awkward posture is a kind of torture for an ordinary woman, both in dignity and physically, especially since the errand officer deliberately slowed down the speed of the mule cart.

In the silence of the night, only the occasional barking of dogs came from afar, and the sound of wheels crushing the road and the squeaking of axles were particularly abrupt and harsh.

Chu Junlan maintained that tiring standing posture and thought about it carefully.

She didn't do anything to touch the king's law, why did Shuntianfu rush to arrest her in the middle of the night and torture her in such a way. The strange things that have happened recently, if you carefully calculate them, are only these things related to Gege's hometown.

The last time she cleaned up Ge Weiming, she didn't have anything to do after that, and when she wanted to come to Ge Weiming, she was afraid that the Dingguo Mansion would find Ge Ge Lao to go with her, so she naturally didn't dare to publicize it, and this time it should have little to do with it.

Then only Ge Shuyu is left.

Chu Junlan thought about this, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips. She did it very measuredly, Ge Shuyu didn't leave any traces on her body, she only said that she had poisoned her and cured her, who would believe it? Is there evidence of red mouth and white teeth? The maidservant present was Ge Shuyu's personal maid, can her testimony be counted?

That way, she wasn't worried. Even if it alarms the government and makes such a fuss, it won't be anything, I think it is Ge Ge Lao and Mrs. Ge who love their daughter, and they think of a way to scare her and humiliate her.

However, if Ge Ge Lao thought that this would scare her, she might have to disappoint the Ge family.

Chu Junlan closed his eyes and recuperated, using this time to recuperate, so that he could deal with the matter of arriving at the Yamen later, and conceived several possible scenes in his heart, and thought of ways to deal with them.

The two officers looked back and saw that Chu Junlan was not noisy or noisy, and he didn't even sweat a drop of sweat when he maintained such a standing posture, and couldn't help but be amazed.

"Hey, you say, the daughter from this country's mansion is different, in the end, she is the daughter of a military general's family, and she can even look calm in the cage. If this is changed to other daughters, I'm afraid I won't cry and beg early. ”

"That's it, don't say anything else, it's just that when I saw us taking people, ordinary women were scared and cried. It's strange that she dares to make such a big case! ”

Chu Junlan suddenly opened his eyes: "What did I do?" ”

The two messengers looked back at Chu Junlan at the same time, sneered but didn't speak.

The wheels rolled through the streets and alleys, and occasionally pedestrians stopped to watch the excitement, and the two messengers did not drive away, leaving people to point and point. One of the people in the crowd quietly retreated, and the girl rushed to the palace of Gongding.

"Shizi! Oh no! Jing Yu rushed into Xiao Xu's study, poured beans and said the results of the detectives under him, "The third lady is now being escorted to Shuntian Mansion, and she is still using such humiliating methods!" This is simply too deceitful! Lord Shizi, what can I do about this? ”

Xiao Xu stood up suddenly, his face solemn, his brows clenched into fists.

"Do you know what the reason is for taking people?" Xiao Xu asked.

Jingyu shook his head: "I'm instructing someone to investigate, but there is no result, what do you say about this?" No matter how powerful the third lady is, she is still a girl's family in the end, and when she arrives in Shuntian Mansion, what if she goes to prison. ”

The more Jing Yu spoke, the quieter his voice became, because Xiao Xu's face was too scary.

Xiao Xu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered Jing Yu a few words. Jing Yu nodded again and again when she heard this, and immediately said, "I'll arrange it." ”

Xiao Xu also got up and wanted to go out.

As soon as he took a step, a servant girl hurriedly broke in outside.

"Shizi, someone came to the palace, summoned by the emperor."

Xiao Xu's pupils shrank, and he knew that something was wrong.

It's too coincidental under the emperor's will, don't pass on him early, don't pass him on late, and catch up with this time! Chu Junlan was in the most dangerous situation, except for him, he didn't know who else had the ability to really help her.

"Got it." Xiao Xu was anxious in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he instructed Jing Yudao, "Do what I just said, don't delay." ”

Jing Yu saw Xiao Xu's indifferent expression, as if he had a backbone, and nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it." ”

Jing Yu ran away and hurried to arrange what Xiao Xu ordered.

Xiao Xu entered the palace directly under the guidance of the palace people.

In front of the side door of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, the door lock of the station cage was opened, and the messenger dragged the iron chain and pulled Chu Junlan out of it.

Rao is Chu Junlan has a stunt, and his legs are sore at this time, and he stumbled and almost fell.

The messengers did not pity the fragrance and jade at all, and continued to pull Chu Junlan inside.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard where the second hall was located, I saw a scribe with a round figure who was about fifty years old approaching me. Seeing that Chu Junlan was sent to lock him with chains, the scribe hurriedly stepped forward.

"Oh, why do you use such a means to treat the daughter of the Maoguo Mansion? Why don't you let Miss Chu go? ”

The two messengers glanced at each other, and one of them asked hesitantly: "Master Qu, but ...... it?"

"That's what your lord means, let go of the chains."

When the poor person heard this, he had to untie the chains in an uproar, and his face was a little embarrassed. Could it be that things have changed? Are they going too far?

Chu Junlan rubbed his wrist, looked at Master Qu with an unchanged face, and didn't speak, waiting for the other party to speak.

Her eyes are clear and bright, even if she has just suffered a crime in the standing cage, she does not show any embarrassment, and the calm and relaxed demeanor of everyone is really admirable.

Master Qu secretly admired in his heart, politely made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Miss Chu, please come to the side hall for a while." We adults have something to ask you when we come back. ”

Such a polite attitude made the two poor people on the side a little nervous, and they secretly scolded Shangfeng's attitude for changing too quickly, they obeyed orders, but now they have become grinding people in private, and the bad things are all let them do, and they are good people.

Chu Junlan bowed slightly, and kept up with Master Qu's pace, neither the anger when he was tortured, nor the joy when he was polite.

As for the side hall, Master Qu smiled politely and said, "Please take a seat." He turned around and instructed the little servant: "Serve Miss Chu good tea." ”

The little servant retreated, and Master Qu saluted Chu Junlan and said with a smile: "You take a break, the students are still busy, so retire first." ”
