If it werent for plot armor the Wol would have executed shortly after without any kind of defence and his or her body ditched into a nameless grave. They werent going to jail the Wol they were going to straight execute him/her as soon as possible before the public or anyone influential could dig in the situation.

No one said to straight up murder the guards, but to knock them out shouldnt be such an impossible feat. To let them capture him/her was almost suicide on that situation, they werent looking for the true culprit the Wol WAS the culprit, and only punishment awaited (capital one due to regicide plus they wanted to eliminate the political threat the Wol had become do to their "hero" status and afiliation with the Sultana's cause).
That(execution with no trial) might have been Teledji's plan for us. However, Teledji wasnt actually in control of the situation. Lolorito sniffed out what was going on, and took control behind the scenes to get his preferred outcome. Teledji's deadly poison was substituted with a sleeping potion. Lolo thought we would go along quietly, the evidence would show that no murder took place, and Teledji would take the blame for everything - a rival and clumsy schemer removed from the syndicate(along with enough evidence for the sultana to see that her plan wouldnt work). Of course, WE have no way of knowing all that at the time so our escape also makes perfect sense in the moment.
