Chapter 1768: Stirring up a storm in the city
Where Yan Ruyu pointed was a few lines of poetry.
Of course, Yan Ruyu felt that this poem was not as good as Xiaolan's jingle.
It's just a random compilation.
However, this is not important. What is important is their hidden meaning.
This is not a poem, but an account.
"This is the date and amount, right?" Yan Ruyu asked.
Erya's eyebrows twitched slightly: "I don't know what the princess means by this."
"I don't know?" Yan Ruyu sneered. "At this point, you are still stubborn. How irresponsible and boring."
"If you don't tell me, you think I can't do anything to you?"
"Come here, tie her up and take her back."
Erya was a little flustered: "Princess, you can't catch me!"
"I am the head of Lanxing Pavilion after all. I have no evidence..."
Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "No evidence, no proof?"
She pointed at the abandoned farm not far away and at the mentally disturbed women.
"You said that to them, without any evidence?"
"Why don't you ask around? This princess has seen so many bizarre things and arrested so many people, but no one has ever said that there is no evidence."
"You are the first one."
Erya's breath was choked. How could she forget that the Princess of Zhennan was not an ordinary official.
"These things are related to me..."
Yan Ruyu didn't listen at all and waved her hand to let Yinding take the person away.
Time is precious tonight, so we shouldn't spend our time arguing with her. This woman is still quibbling over such obvious facts.
With the combined efforts of the secret guards and the imperial guards, and with the help of bombs, the archery points that had not been blown up were opened and all the people inside were captured.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe went down to take a look. The space below was not very big, only one-tenth of the manor. In fact, it was similar to a dark room, divided into many areas.
Yan Ruyu sneered: "I thought it was an underground castle. It seems I overestimated them."
Huo Changhe laughed dumbly: "How could it be? There aren't too many of them, and we don't have that much material. We also have to be careful not to let others find out. It's good enough to be able to do this."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows but did not comment.
There is nothing important in here. The biggest role these people play here is to guard and lie dormant.
As for any important clues, they will not appear here.
Before leaving, Yan Ruyu placed several packets of explosives inside and went out to ignite them.
With a loud bang, this place became a ruin again.
At this point, this harmful place no longer exists.
As for those women, Yan Ruyu planned to hand them over to military doctor Cao to see if they could be saved.
After returning from Shencheng, Doctor Cao rested for two days. He is now in the nunnery, visiting those women. These few people have to be sent over as well, along with some supplies and herbs.
In addition, the various seeds that Yan Ruyu promised to give to the abbot must also be delivered.
Take the people back first. The next morning, Old Liu and others were sent to the governor's mansion by Song Ping.
When Governor Cao heard the news, he hurried out to greet them. When he saw these people and then Old Liu, he was stunned.
"This……"
What is this? I couldn't tell for a moment.
Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu went to handle it personally and caught the perpetrator in the act. There is no way they can say that it was an injustice. There must be solid evidence.
Old Liu lowered his head, feeling ashamed and regretful.
Song Ping raised his voice and said, "Sir, the prince and princess said that the crimes of these people must be thoroughly investigated. Not only must the trial be open, but the whole story must be written clearly and posted on the public notice board."
Governor Cao was stunned. At first he thought it was too cruel, but then he thought, why should he give face to a man like Old Liu?
His true face should be exposed to prevent others from being deceived again. People in the city, especially the literati, respect him very much. His son does business and the taxes collected by the governor's office are several times lower than others. These are all the benefits he brought.
The people and the government have respected him in reputation and given him financial benefits, but this old man actually did such disgusting and unscrupulous things behind his back!
He himself has no shame, and he still wants others to give him face?
Governor Cao immediately felt that the prince and princess were absolutely right in giving such an order.
"Please rest assured, my lord and princess, I understand and will do as you say."
Song Ping nodded, handed over a letter, and whispered, "Sir, the prince has a letter. Please bring people to search the Lanxing Pavilion."
Governor Cao took over the conversation and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we should copy that harmful place..."
As he spoke, he opened the letter and was stunned when he saw its contents.
"This……"
"The princess said that there are still some fish that slip through the net."
Governor Cao suddenly realized.
"Okay, I understand."
Governor Cao immediately gave an order to take the man away, and asked Cui Chong to gather all the men and go to Lanxing Pavilion to search immediately.
Song Ping brought his men back to the palace to report and explained what had happened. Huo Changhe nodded.
"The people arranged by the prince have arrived near the Lanxing Pavilion. As long as someone comes, they will be captured."
Ever since Erya hung the signal outside the window, someone has been watching secretly, but until now, no suspicious person has come.
Let Governor Cao take some people with him. This will just alert the snake and it may run out.
If not yet... Yan Ruyu had to admit that the person might have left long ago.
Angelica may also be the opposite of what it means, reminding people in the dark to leave quickly.
Yan Ruyu was not in a hurry to examine Erya. She took out all the paintings and looked at them first.
There are three types of accounting poems.
Dapeng refers to Lv Peng, as well as flowers and mountains.
Who is the flower and who is the mountain?
Huo Changhe analyzed: "Based on Lu Peng's identity, we can infer that these two are definitely not ordinary people."
"The money given to Lu Peng is quite a lot," Huo Changhe glanced at the banknotes on the corner of the table.
Those silver ingots were searched from Lu Peng. This guy took nothing with him when he left the military camp but these silver bills.
Yan Ruyu calculated based on the number in the painting and found that it was about one thousand taels more than the total amount of the silver notes.
I guess he spent it himself or embezzled it.
The other two also had not less, around ten thousand taels.
She nodded: "So, we have to find these two people quickly. Now the whole city is in turmoil. If they intend to hide, it will not be easy to find them."
There was no way to keep this matter secret, so I just made a big fuss and let everyone know about it, including these two people.
Make them panic, uneasy, and reveal their flaws.
Huo Changhe smiled lightly: "Yu'er, this plan is very clever."
Yan Ruyu took a look at his wound: "How is it? Are you okay? Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt that much, just a small cut," Huo Changhe whispered, "As long as Yu'er is here, it's okay."
"You'd better be more careful. Lu Peng is with those people, so there's no guarantee that he doesn't have any sinister tricks up his sleeve."
Huo Changhe rolled up his sleeves, and Yan Ruyu took a closer look. Sure enough, the wound had gradually healed.
No need to even bandage it.
She felt relieved.
"Master," Linlang came in and replied, "Song Ping came with a message saying that the man surnamed Lu wants to see you."
