Exiled Princess: From the Palace Heist to Becoming a Rich Madame [MTL]

Chapter 51-55

These dogs dared to slander them. When the punishment came, they shouldn't blame the yamen runners for being merciless!

The scar-faced man and the bald bandit leader: "...?"

Hmm, why did they suddenly feel like a catastrophe was approaching?

Could it be that there truly was no treasure inside those carriages?

Jiang Ru watched Chu Wenqian's retreating figure and raised an eyebrow.

Did he actually believe that these yamen runners would dare to deceive him right under his nose?

Search away! Finding anything would be quite the miracle.

"You two, daring to falsely accuse me, you'll face even greater charges!" Jiang Ru's voice echoed softly in the ears of the scar-faced man and his accomplice...

Damn it!

When they face the authorities later, these yamen runners won't let them off easy.

Chu Wenqian, who had been inspecting the carriages, was becoming increasingly displeased...

Could there really be no wealth as they claimed?

The carriage guarded by An Wang inched into Chu Wenqian's focus, and he hurried closer.

The moment she opened the curtain, her expression changed drastically.

Prince An?

It was really him!

He seemed to be asleep.

Chu Wenqian gently lowered the carriage curtain and, almost subconsciously, nodded in apology.

In his mind, he thought, even if he's been demoted, he used to be one of the most distinguished princes in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Moreover, there seemed to be an aura of danger surrounding him...

With that in mind, Chu Wenqian quickly returned to the courtroom.

This was not a person he could afford to provoke.

As Chu Wenqian returned to the courtroom, his face was filled with anger.

He struck the gavel and sternly declared, "Bold bandits who dare to slander the person reporting the case!"

"Bring them out, each will receive twenty lashes, and the other bandits will receive ten lashes each. After the caning, lock them all up in the prison."

Damn it, after finding out the location of the treasure tonight, they can be dealt with later.

Jiang Ru looked at Chu Wenqian, who appeared "impartial and just," and immediately complimented him, "Lord Chu enforces the law like a mountain, truly a blessing to the people!"

Alright, she was done playing.

Tonight, she would come to "rescue" these two abandoned children again and, well... Hehe!

Chu Wenqian: "...?"

Hmph, consider yourself fortunate!

"Jiang Ru has made a significant contribution in suppressing bandits, and I commend you with two hundred taels of silver," Chu Wenqian said, putting on an appearance of generosity.

With all your assets confiscated, you're now a group of paupers. Don't be too grateful.

The yamen runners and the common folk looked on with envy.

Earning two hundred taels of silver in a single night was simply amazing!

Jiang Ru, with a bewildered look, thought, What's this?
