"Miss, what's the matter?" Xianyue asked hurriedly.

Chu Huanyan looked at the moon in the sky, "I forgot to tell Xiao Jinzhi in the letter that I miss him."

Xian Yue breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing when she saw her young lady like this.

"Miss, if the emperor knows that you are thinking of him, he will definitely be very happy."

Chu Huanyan's tone was helpless, "But I forgot to write that Xiao Jinzhi, that stingy guy, might be blaming me in his heart right now."

"Miss, it's okay. Even if you didn't write it in the letter, the emperor must know that you are thinking of him, just like the emperor must also be thinking of you." Xian Yue comforted him with a smile.

Chu Huanyan nodded lightly and did not speak any more. Instead, she continued to look at the moon in the sky until the crescent moon reminded her that it was already very late and she would have to travel tomorrow and advised her to go back and rest. Then Chu Huanyan returned to the room.

Chu Huanyan got up early the next morning. After washing up and having a simple breakfast, everyone else in the team had almost packed up, and the group continued on their way to leave.

Twenty miles west of the inn, you can leave the town.

But just when Chu Huanyan and the others were about to leave the town, they were stopped at the entrance of the town.

"Inspection?" Qin Li looked at the team that was obviously not from the government, frowned, and asked loudly to the people in front, "Who are you, and why are you inspecting here?"

"Stop talking nonsense. There is a thief in the town. Get off the carriage quickly and cooperate well, otherwise no one will be able to leave." The other party held a stick in his hand and stood not far away with a fierce look on his face.

Chu Huanyan opened the car curtain and looked outside. The road out of the town was not very wide, and it was now blocked tightly by those people with homemade roadblocks.

Seeing the other party's bad attitude and seeing other people being stopped nearby, Chu Huanyan ordered: "Qin Li, ask the people next to you what's going on."

"Yes." Qin Li responded.

After taking another look at the menacing caller in front of him, he jumped out of the carriage and asked the people next to him about the situation.

Soon, Qin Li found out and reported to Chu Huanyan, "Madam, I heard that these people are servants and relatives of several big families in the town. Those big families were robbed and lost a lot of things last night, so they We spontaneously organized and stopped here today to search one by one for those who wanted to leave the town."

"Since you have lost something, you should go to the Yamen to report the crime. What's the point of stopping here and searching people who come and go." Seeing someone directly grabbing an old man and checking his luggage, Xian Yue said dissatisfied.

Chu Huanyan also looked at that scene, "Since it was stolen last night, how can they be sure? The person is still in the town, maybe he has escaped long ago."

Stopping here to conduct an interrogation like this is probably of no use.

And to be able to steal from several big businesses overnight, he must have already done this before and came prepared. How could he not arrange his escape route in advance?

"Back to Madam, from what the people said just now, I'm afraid these people may not know what they can't find by blocking the road like this, but they are upset on purpose, so they are deliberately making trouble." Qin Li said.

"Then no one cares about the people in this town?" Xian Yue asked.

"They are all big families in the town. I guess most of these people don't want to offend. They just cause trouble and suffer a little anger. It is better than offending the other party and being retaliated. As for the passers-by..."

Qin Li glanced around and continued.

"This town is far away from the official road. We took a shortcut, so we passed by here. There are probably not many people passing by on weekdays. Besides, it's hard for a strong dragon to suppress a local snake. After all, most people think about things when they are away from home. It’s better to do less than to do more.”

They did not take a clear path when leaving the imperial city this time, and they did not disturb the local government along the way. They even rarely stayed in the post house. It seems that the empress did not want to reveal her identity.

However, even if her identity is not exposed, as long as the empress does not want to be interrogated, with him and Yunchen and the others around, these people will not be able to act arrogantly.

"Go over and let them check." Chu Huanyan said.

While they were talking, a man who was checking in front pushed a couple. The bamboo basket the woman was carrying fell to the ground, and all the eggs in the basket were broken.

"My eggs!" The woman looked at the eggs on the ground and felt distressed. She squatted down to see if they were still intact, but the man almost stepped on her hand.

"Get out of here, get out of here, aren't they just a few eggs? If they break, they will break. Leave quickly and don't block the way here."

"You..." the woman was furious, "I just bought this today, and I'm going to give it to my sister during her confinement period!"

When the man heard this, not only did he not feel any guilt, but he snorted and mocked: "Poor."

The woman still wanted to speak, but the servant next to her said arrogantly: "This is Mr. Feng, Mr. Wu's brother-in-law. Get out of here quickly. You two can't afford to offend me!"

When the husband next to him heard this, he could only comfort his wife helplessly and protected her behind him, "Forget it, madam, let's go."

"Miss, they are too bullying, shouldn't we care?" Xianyue frowned at this scene.

What kind of brother-in-law is he? He is a bully!

"How do you want to control it?" Chu Huanyan looked at Xian Yue.

"Of course, teach that bully a lesson, make him pay for the eggs to the couple, and then apologize!" Xian Yue said without thinking.

"Then what?" Chu Huanyan continued to ask.

"Then?" Xian Yue thought for a while, "Then send them to the Yamen and punish them."

"What they did was not a capital crime. Even if they were brought to the Yamen, according to the law, they would be released after giving them a lesson."

Chu Huanyan moved her eyes towards the couple and continued.

"These people still have to live in the town. It's easy to stand up for this couple, but if they just teach the people who bully them, they can't completely punish them. After we leave, do you think he might Are you seeking revenge and causing trouble for this couple?"

Crescent Moon was silent, it seemed possible.

"Xianyue, remember, it is a good thing to fight against injustice, but you must carefully consider the consequences, especially from the perspective of the person being helped."

"Miss, I remember this." Xian Yue nodded seriously, but still couldn't help but ask, "Then let them be so tyrannical?"

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly and said to Qin Li: "Get in the carriage, let's go there."

"Yes."

Qin Li drove forward until someone stopped him.

Shen Chi and Yun Chen followed in the carriage and also stopped.

"Check." The person speaking was the brother-in-law Mr. Feng, Feng Rong mentioned by the servant.

He had just seen Chu Huanyan opening the carriage curtain from a distance. Although the angle was wrong and his face could not be seen clearly, he knew clearly that it was a female family member, but at this moment, his eyes were still looking at the carriage without hesitation.

"Everyone in the car, get out of here."
