[1] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

207-208

Chapter 207: Look for her father-in-law

Shi Qingluo did not remove the knife from his skin.

She looked at the man with a dark expression. "You have two choices."

The man felt that this village woman was even more terrifying now.

He swallowed his saliva and said, "Please continue."

"Experience having your throat cut by this knife first."

The man widened his eyes. "No, there's no need for that. We'll choose the second option."

Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow. "I haven't said the second one yet."

"Then please say it." The man really wanted to cry.

Shi Qingluo said, "Follow me to look for the prefectural magistrate in the capital to turn yourself in now. Just say that you didn't have the heart to take action because I looked so weak and kind. Then you heard that I came to the capital to offer the seeds. Although you are a local ruffian, you also know these are good seeds, so you feel that the person asking you to take on this mission is very detestable. You can't live with your conscience, so you turned yourself in."

Only by letting these ruffians turn themselves in would the third imperial consort's actions be more overbearing and repulsive.

Even the hooligans knew the benefits of sharing these seeds to everyone, yet, an imperial consort actually wanted to assassinate them viciously.

Of course, there was also a high chance that her servant girl would become the scapegoat.

However, Shi Qingluo was confident that that vicious woman would be punished.

Furthermore, these three hooligans were not good people either.

Even if they would not go to jail as they turned themselves in, with the third imperial consort's personality and her family's protectiveness towards her, her family would definitely take charge of this matter so that her hands would remain clean.

If anything were to happen to these three ruffians, their family members could still cause a ruckus and fight for them.

This man and the others sighed, which part of you are weak and kind?

Wasn't she teasing them?

Furthermore, do they look like those who cannot do things against their conscience?

When Shi Qingluo saw their doubtful expressions, she asked coldly, "Are you saying that you want to choose the first option?"

The man immediately replied, "No, the second one. We'll choose the second option."

If they voluntarily turned themselves in, this meant that they didn't hurt others and wouldn't have to go to jail either.

Only a fool would choose the first option.

Only then did Shi Qingluo put away her knife. "Let's go, we'll go together."

The knife in her hand continued to move nimbly. "If you dare to run, I'll let you have a taste of being dismembered."

Seeing this, the man immediately put away his thoughts of running. "We don't dare, we don't!"

Thus, the three of them got up and went to the capital with Shi Qingluo to turn themselves in.

The capital magistrate was a little confused when he heard that some people had come to turn themselves in.

When he heard that it also involved the scholar's wife who offered the seeds, he had a bad feeling.
