Chapter 1682 The whole city is in turmoil
Song Ping left sadly to make arrangements.
Yan Ruyu also felt uncomfortable and sat alone in the front hall with her eyes lowered in thought.
Suddenly I heard light footsteps, and when I looked up, it was Huo Changxu.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Huo Changxu originally wanted to go out, but when he saw Yan Ruyu here alone, with a sad aura all around her, he couldn't help but come forward and ask.
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "It's okay, going out so early?"
"Yes, I have to go to the academy today." Huo Changxu didn't want to bother Yan Ruyu with his affairs, but he was afraid that if he explained it clearly, Yan Ruyu would worry.
"The last time I went to the academy, Yu Qingyue was doing fine as usual. I brought paper samples with me last time. The gentlemen at the academy ordered the paper and I'm going to deliver it today."
"She's still going with you?"
Huo Changxu nodded and whispered, "That's right, so I want to go to the bookstore early to prepare and take precautions."
"Okay," Yan Ruyu advised, "Then be careful."
"Yes."
Huo Changxu agreed, but did not leave immediately. He asked again, "Is there any news about my brother?"
"Yes, I just received it this morning," Yan Ruyu did not hide it from him, "Mu Wu died while saving Cao's military doctor. His body is on the way. When we get there, we will hold a funeral for him."
Huo Changxu couldn't help but let out an "ah", his heart was shocked and he felt very sad.
He had a good impression of Mu Wu. When Yu Qingyue first appeared in his bookstore, the person who was secretly following her was Mu Wu.
He is tall and lean, very skilled, calm and smart.
did not expect……
"Then is there anything I can do?" Huo Changxu asked.
Yan Ruyu sighed softly: "I'll copy a few pages of scriptures for him as a token of my appreciation."
"it is good."
Huo Changxu took his leave and left.
Yan Ruyu was just about to get up and tell the first lady when the silver ingot returned.
"Princess, there is movement."
Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "What's going on?"
"They took a few women out, saying they were going to attend a church meeting at someone else's house, but my subordinates checked and found nothing."
"Besides, which good family would let a prostitute go? Even though they say they are prostitutes, they were born in a brothel after all."
"Three groups in a row, seven people in each group, all used the same method, going out from the front door, the side door, and the back door."
“After leaving the house, I went in different directions, but I ended up leaving the city.”
After saying this, Yinding took out a pair of earrings.
"Princess, please take a look. This is what I ordered someone to steal from one of the women. I wonder if it can help you?"
Yan Ruyu took out the earrings: "Of course, well done."
"Go and ask the abbot."
The abbot arrived soon, and Yan Ruyu said to Yin Ding, "Divide the available people into three teams. One team will keep an eye on Lanxing Pavilion, one team will keep an eye on the people who leave, and the remaining team will be replacements, because there is a high possibility that the Black and White will continue."
"Yes."
Yinding took the order and went. The abbot asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Yan Ruyu handed him the earring and said, "This is the location. See where it is."
The abbot took it, and Yan Ruyu entered the space again. The things collected last night had not been completely put away yet, because they were moved in as a whole, the original overall layout was still maintained.
She took out one thing from each of the madam and Erya's "rooms" and handed them to the abbot.
"These two too, this one belongs to the madam, and this one belongs to another woman, Erya."
"Okay," the abbot agreed immediately and put the things in and positioned them.
"Hey? The madam is still in Lanxing Pavilion. Erya just came out of Lanxing Pavilion not long ago and is heading towards the east of the city."
"She didn't walk fast, but she chose small streets and alleys. It looked like this woman was up to no good."
Yan Ruyu listened and guessed the direction Erya was going.
At this time, Jiang Tangli and Qi Dongqiang ran in from outside.
"It's so lively outside!" Jiang Tangli shouted as she ran.
The abbot withdrew from the space, and Yan Ruyu asked, "What happened?"
"Last night, someone went to steal road construction materials. Now Governor Cao has posted portraits of the thief all over the city. Now everyone is very angry and is gathering on the street to go to the governor's mansion to bring this person out and put him on trial on the spot."
When Yan Ruyu heard this, and added to what the abbot had just said, that Erya only went to small streets and alleys when she went out, she guessed that this matter was most likely related to Erya.
She first caused a sensation and commotion, and then took the opportunity to sneak out of Lanxing Pavilion. No one noticed her when she went out on the street.
Good timing indeed.
However, it's not that easy.
Yan Ruyu nodded: "In this case, we can't fall behind. Let's go to the street to watch the fun."
When they heard this, their eyes lit up.
That was what they meant. Watching the fun was secondary. The main reason was that Yan Ruyu was too tired and tense these past two days, so it was a good opportunity to ask her to relax together.
"Let's go, let's go now. There's no need to prepare horses or sedan chairs. We can just walk."
"Abbot, let's go together."
Yan Ruyu also wanted to know Erya's whereabouts in real time, so she nodded to the abbot.
The abbot was also willing to go: "Take my disciple with you."
After Li Wanglin came, he has not had a good time playing outside. He has been staying in the yard, studying space.
The abbot felt quite distressed.
Yan Ruyu also agreed, and Jiang Tangli immediately said, "I'll go call her."
The three of them have a pretty good relationship now. They hit it off right away and even moved closer to each other.
Yan Ruyu shouted again: "Call the boss, Linlang and Luhu."
While they were waiting for everyone to gather together, Yan Ruyu went to report to the eldest lady, and when the eldest lady heard about it, she also wanted to go.
A group of people went out together.
Sure enough, there were already quite a few people on the street, all talking about the same thing.
"How dare you steal road construction materials!"
"You are really crazy. Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
"That's right. Governor Cao has issued a strict order. Anyone who dares to touch the materials will lose not only his job, but also the jobs of his family members in West City."
"I heard that he is from another place and has no family, so I became interested in him."
"Hmph, no matter what, anyone who dares to use our road materials should be severely punished! We have worked so hard to build the road and live a good life, how can we let such people destroy it?"
"That's right. If one person does this, two people do this, and everyone follows suit, how can we repair this road in the future?"
As they talked, they rushed forward to the governor's mansion.
Someone in front shouted, "Everyone hurry up and follow us, let's go together and punish the evil thief severely!"
The eldest lady whispered, "Listening to what these people say, it is indeed very strange and irritating, but..."
Yan Ruyu asked: "What do you want to say, mother? Why don't you just say it directly?"
The eldest lady cleared her throat and said, "I don't know if this person has committed other crimes. If so, then needless to say, let's settle the old and new accounts together."
"But if he didn't...he only stole some road construction materials, and he didn't succeed, then he would be punished like this...isn't that too much?"
Yan Ruyu nodded.
The abbot whispered, “Isn’t this cyberbullying?”
Yan Ruyu asked Governor Cao to post the portrait in order to spread the news and alarm the Qiu family.
It's just a case of scaring off the snake.
But now some people are taking advantage of the situation and causing a stir in the city.
