After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 390 Su Xiaoxiao's Worries
In short, Su Xiaoxiao now knows that she should stay away from those people. Since everyone is heading to the capital, and those people are in a hurry, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ping'an discussed it and decided that they should slow down. Anyway, they are only about 30 miles away from the capital, and if they ride fast, they can get there in a morning.

Su Pingan agreed, and they began to enjoy breakfast at the inn. This time, the breakfast was one that Su Xiaoxiao really liked.

Even before they arrived in the vicinity of the capital, they hadn't expected to find food with flavors so similar to those from their hometown, which greatly surprised Su Xiaoxiao.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that the head chef here also lived in Xinghua Village. What a coincidence! No wonder Su Ping'an was able to enjoy the taste of his hometown even though he was thousands of miles away.

After Su Ping'an and Su Xiaoxiao finished their breakfast, they packed their things. The young waiter fed the horse and brought it over. Su Xiaoxiao could tell that the young waiter took very good care of his horse.

After a night's rest, Su Xiaoxiao's horse was full of energy. When it was led out, it even kicked a few times, looking very lively.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately noticed that giving a tip made a difference; the waiter took excellent care of the horse.

They left the inn and set off again in their carriage. The journey was quite smooth, and they arrived in the capital before noon.

Fortunately, they did not encounter the bandits on the way. However, Su Xiaoxiao was very curious about what they said about rescuing the third brother. Did the bandits really want to go to the capital to rescue someone?

Are they planning to go to Beijing to storm the execution ground?

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that she and Su Ping'an were going to the capital to see if they could rescue Su Xiu'er, but they dared not suggest storming the execution ground, as that would mean losing their heads.

After arriving in the capital, Su Xiaoxiao first went to Qian Musheng's house, only to be told that the young master Qian had gone to the Dali Temple that day, saying he wanted to be a witness.

Fortunately, there was Xiao Dengzi. He had always been by Qian Musheng's side and knew what had happened to his young master.

So, Xiao Dengzi recounted the whole story of how Qian Musheng had saved Manager Qian's family at Chashuling.

Qian Musheng helped the government arrest the leader of Qingfeng Village, who was said to be the third-ranking member of the gang. The Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review came to interrogate the case and needed Qian Musheng as a witness to provide testimony, since it was Qian Musheng who had personally arrested the man.

Xiao Dengzi said he was on his way to attend the hearing to deliver clothes to his young master. The weather had cooled down a bit these past few days. He had originally gone to the Dali Temple with Qian Musheng, but seeing that his young master was dressed too lightly, he was surprised. Today's case was being held outside the Dali Temple so that more people could hear about it, and apparently many people had come to watch.

That bandit was a notorious thief, so he had a criminal record for everything he had done, and all of that had to be tried publicly.

Xiao Dengzi said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I really didn't expect you to come to the capital again. I'm going to deliver clothes to Young Master Qian right now. Why don't you come with me?"

Xiao Dengzi was overjoyed to see Su Xiaoxiao. In his heart, he had long regarded Su Xiaoxiao as his own older sister.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Pingan and asked, "How about it? Do you want to come along and see the world?" Su Pingan had heard from his brother that Su Xiuer had also been captured by the Dali Temple, so he really wanted to go there. However, this time the purpose of going was different; it was to watch the Dali Temple Chief Justice try the case of the mountain bandits.

Su Ping'an nodded and said, "Since you also want to go and see, then let's go together. I've never experienced anything like this before, so it'll be good for me to broaden my horizons."

Su Xiaoxiao was very happy and left all her luggage at Qian Musheng's house.

The two followed the small stool to the place where the case was being heard, and they were truly amazed by what they saw.

I never expected that a case like this would be tried in public.

The courtroom was set up outside, surrounded by soldiers who formed a circle around it. The crowd of onlookers was enormous, all eager to see what it was like to interrogate a bandit. The number of onlookers reached tens of thousands.

They heard that someone had captured the head of the bandits in the nearby mountains, and that a very clever trick had been used to lure the bandit in. Everyone was very curious about what the captured bandit looked like, and what the great hero who captured the bandit and rid the people of this scourge looked like.

Everyone was very curious about what punishment the bandit leader would receive after being captured. Would he be executed by slow slicing or beheaded at the Meridian Gate?

Xiao Dengzi led Su Xiaoxiao and the others here, and they finally made their way through the crowd to see Qian Musheng.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Qian Musheng was quite well-received this time. The officials had specially prepared a chair for him to sit on. Apart from the officials and those high-ranking officials who were in charge of hearing the case, no one else, whether a witness or a plaintiff, had a chair to sit on.

When Qian Musheng saw Su Xiaoxiao arrive, he stood up happily and came over to greet her, "Xiaoxiao, what brings you here?"

Seeing that there were crowds of people all around, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't possibly reveal her true purpose for coming. So she simply said, "Ping An and I came to the capital to take care of some business. What brings you here today?"

Qian Musheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I came to the capital on business, and I happened to witness these bandits coming down the mountain to abduct women. I got involved and caught the bandit leader. This time, I single-handedly caught more than two hundred bandits and brought them to the government office. I'm pretty amazing, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao could tell that Qian Musheng seemed to be seeking praise.

However, Su Xiaoxiao also knew that Qian Musheng was indeed very capable; he had indeed accomplished something that seemed impossible.

There was a huge group of bandits on the other side. How did Qian Musheng manage to do that? Even if he was very capable, he was only one person. He was really strong.

Su Xiaoxiao heard that when Qian Musheng did this, the small table and stool were not with him.
