Chapter 1583 Return Immediately
Huo Changhe's heart was beating fast and he couldn't calm down for a while.
After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to Ghost Hand. He is Mr. Mo's subordinate. My father's whereabouts are also related to Mr. Mo."
"Since the head of the village said that the ghost hand will take the body away within a few days after their sacrifice, then we will wait for him here for a few days."
"Catch the ghost hand and investigate thoroughly," Huo Changhe turned to look at the head of the village and the others, "These people... must not be allowed to stay."
Yan Ruyu agreed: "What the prince said is consistent with what I think."
"Your Highness, you leave the ghost catcher behind. With such a big commotion in the village, someone needs to clean up the mess. I'll go back and talk to Governor Cao about relocating these people, and even this village, and have them get out of the pass!"
Huo Changhe's eyes were dark and bright. Yan Ruyu said what he couldn't say.
Hearing these people's hatred for my father, thinking about how my father had risked the danger to save these people and how he had taken the trouble to care about their livelihoods, and so many other things, it would have been fine if these people were not grateful, but they actually held resentment and wished my father dead.
People are so vicious that they can be so evil.
Yan Ruyu understood his feelings and his situation, so she stood up for him.
Huo Changhe thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, Yu'er, I have to do this myself. These people are full of hatred, and I'm afraid they won't be grateful after they come out of confinement, but will become even more aggressive. I can't let them turn their hatred towards you."
Yan Ruyu grabbed his arm and said, "Prince, you and I are husband and wife, so don't worry about these things. I am different from you. You are still the prince. The court is worried that they can't find any evidence against you. If this matter is reported back to the capital, who knows what kind of fuss they will make."
"We are not afraid, but we cannot let them throw dirty water on us. But I am different. I am a woman and I don't go to court, so it doesn't matter."
Huo Changhe held her hand, his voice low and full of guilt: "I'm not afraid of the court, I'm worried that these people will hate you as much as they hated my father..."
"Them? I'm even less afraid." Yan Ruyu smiled proudly, "Don't you know me? When have I ever cared about other people's opinions? Hate also requires strength. They don't mind being tired, let them hate."
Huo Changhe's nose felt slightly sour, and his heart was filled with tears. "Then I will write a letter to Governor Cao to reassure him. When he sees the letter, he will know it was my intention. If anyone asks for accountability in the future, it can't all be blamed on him."
Yan Ruyu said without hesitation: "Okay."
Yan Ruyu took out paper and pen, and he turned around to find a place to write the letter.
The abbot came over and asked, "How is it? What are your plans?"
"I have to hurry back. I'll leave the matters here to the prince. You come with me and take the fake bee whistle back with you."
"OK, no problem."
As the two were mumbling, the secret guard came over and said, "Princess, this is not good."
Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Is the fake bee whistle dead?"
"Exactly."
It was expected, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Yan Ruyu walked over, and the guard looked ashamed: "Princess, it is my fault."
"I don't blame you," Yan Ruyu waved her hand, "He must have been taking a chronic poison and needs to take an antidote every day. This time he exceeded the time limit."
This is also a common trick.
Feng Shao also came over: "Princess, what should we do with his body?"
"Take off the mask and keep it for yourself. Return it to Beibei later. Bury the body on the spot."
"Yes," Bee Whistle agreed readily and reached out to take off the mask.
He wanted to see how magical this mask was, to be able to disguise himself so realistically, damn it, it actually disguised itself on his head.
Yan Ruyu reminded: "Be mentally prepared."
Feng Xiao didn't understand at first what kind of mental preparation he needed to make when taking off the mask. However, his hands were faster than his brain and he finally understood after taking off the mask.
"Oh my God," Bee Whistle was startled.
The secret guards around were also surprised.
What a face it was… twisted, deformed, and now dead from poisoning, with the skin turning black and purple.
Really appalling.
"This... such an ugly thing disguised as me?" Feng Xiao felt very unbalanced.
As he was speaking, Huo Changhe came back with a letter and handed it to Yan Ruyu.
Without further ado, Yan Ruyu and the abbot started their journey back.
Huo Changhe sent them to the village entrance, giving them instructions and warnings, reluctant to let them go.
The abbot said, "Your Majesty, hurry up. It will be dark if you delay any longer. We have to take the night road and come back after we finish our business."
That's right.
Huo Changhe blushed and let go.
Yan Ruyu and the abbot rode away on horseback.
After running for a while, it was getting dark quickly. The abbot looked around and saw no one, so he reined in his horse.
"I want to switch to an electric tricycle."
"There are lights, which can illuminate."
Yan Ruyu feels that this is the only advantage of electric tricycles at present.
"I don't want to ride a tricycle. It's too bumpy and too uncomfortable. You drive and I'll ride a horse."
"Okay, I'll light the way ahead."
The abbot put the horse in, took out the tricycle, and the two of them set off again.
There was no conversation along the way until we reached the end of the road.
We have finished work as per regulations, there is no one here.
Yan Ruyu said to the abbot, "Put away the tricycle and ride a horse. The tricycle is too wide and it is difficult to pass."
After going through the trouble again, we arrived at the section of road that needed to be repaired. It was cleared almost completely in just one day, although it was still not so flat, but it was much better. At this rate, it would be flat in three days at most.
After leveling, the abbot has to come and compact it at night.
The abbot couldn't help but sigh: "It's all work."
Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter and said, "Don't worry, Governor Cao will give you the first payment for the project soon, and it's all yours."
The abbot sighed again: "It's all money."
When the two men arrived at the city gate, it was already closed. They took out the token and entered the city smoothly.
They did not return to the palace, but went directly to the governor's residence.
Governor Cao and his wife were busy in the study. Mrs. Cao was busy preparing meals for him, while he was busy doing the accounts.
"Don't worry about it yet, let's eat quickly. What time is it now?"
"No, we have to figure it out today and give the princess a settlement as soon as possible. West City is where they paid for the road and worked hard to build it. Now they are the ones who paid for it, so we have to be more proactive."
Mrs. Cao nodded, and felt a little distressed: "But you can't not eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside said, "Is there any food left? We're here to eat for free."
The couple turned around and were overjoyed to see Yan Ruyu and the abbot.
"Yes, yes, Princess, please take a seat. I will have someone serve the meal right away."
Yan Ruyu was not polite either. She was indeed very hungry: "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."
Mrs. Cao smiled and hurried away to do her work, while Yan Ruyu handed the letter to Governor Cao.
"This is the letter from the prince to the governor. I will briefly tell you what happened."
Yan Ruyu gave a brief explanation, and Governor Cao was terrified when he heard it.
This happened under his rule, and fortunately nothing serious happened yet. If a riot had really broken out, he would have been guilty of a serious crime.
Not to mention becoming an official, I’m afraid I won’t be able to save my life!
