Chapter 1860: "Flowers" for Pairs
Yan Ruyu held a flashlight and the light swept across the two faces opposite.
Mr. Bai.
Liu Chengzhi.
"Flower, flower thieves, two of you, are you two?"
Mr. Bai pursed his lips and said nothing. Liu Chengzhi sighed, "Princess, why do you say that?"
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "You still don't admit it, and you want to put all the blame on Bai?"
Mr. Bai glared at Liu Chengzhi.
Liu Chengzhi didn't look at him: "Princess, what crime have I committed? Do you have any evidence?"
"In theory, this princess doesn't need any evidence to arrest you. I can arrest you whenever I want."
"However, this princess has always been willing to make the law more fair and just, so of course there is evidence."
Huo Changhe pointed at Mr. Bai and said, "Strip him."
His men immediately stepped forward, and Mr. Bai looked terrified.
"Aren't you asking him for evidence? Why are you picking me up?"
Since Huo Changhe didn't say anything, the guards naturally didn't say anything either.
The two of them were surrounded, and not to mention their poor fighting skills, even if they were strong, they would not dare to act rashly in front of Huo Changhe.
Admit it now.
Mr. Bai was stripped of his outer robe and inner clothes, leaving only his trousers.
The upper body is bare.
Revealing the wounds on his arms and the puncture wounds on his shoulders.
Yan Ruyu pointed and said, "That's the evidence."
Liu Chengzhi tilted his head and looked: "That's on him, it has nothing to do with me."
Mr. Bai: “…”
"Besides, it's just a few scratches and a bloody hole. What can they prove?"
Yan Ruyu sneered: "Of course you don't understand, you are a frog in the well."
"I found the hairpin that stabbed him. There is blood on the hairpin. It is his blood. As for how to prove it is his, I have told you that you are a frog in a well. You will not understand even if I tell you."
"Besides, Yu Xiaoran has confessed everything."
Mr. Bai cursed: "That bitch, if I had known earlier I should have freed my hands to kill her."
Huo Changhe said: "There is also Gong Yanghua."
Mr. Bai was stunned, and Liu Chengzhi's eyes narrowed.
Mr. Bai cursed: "I told you that guy is unreliable! Damn it."
Liu Chengzhi gritted his teeth and said, "He was the one who harmed Zhang Yuanwei, and he was also the one who harmed those escort agency elders. I am just an ordinary escort and have no decision-making power."
"No decision-making power?" Huo Changhe snorted, "Don't you have to agree to ship Young Master Song's goods? Do you think I don't know?"
"Mr. Song?" Liu Chengzhi was surprised.
Could it be that... Young Master Song is also one of theirs?
Huo Changhe said impatiently: "I am tired and don't want to waste time talking here. If you don't want to talk, then take him back."
"Fight until you say so."
"Yes!"
The guards tied up the two men, removed their jawbones, and took them back to the city.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe walked at the end.
"My Lord, has Gong Yanghua confessed?"
"No, he refused to say anything. However, he should tell me when he gets back."
Yan Ruyu: “…Okay.”
"It seems that we have gained a lot from the Yu family," Huo Changhe said with a smile, "Is Yu Xiaoran really related to the death of the deceased?"
Yan Ruyu's face turned cold: "More than that, she is the instigator."
Yan Ruyu briefly told Huo Changhe what Yu Xiaozhe had done.
Huo Changhe said angrily: "This person is really vicious and unworthy of being a human being. He should be severely punished."
"Don't worry, I have already told Governor Cao about this," Yan Ruyu said, lifting the reins. "It will be the same no matter whether they admit it or not if they catch Shuanghua."
"Let's go to the escort agency and check Liu Chengzhi's residence."
"it is good."
The two men and the guards split into two groups and went to Yuanwei Escort Agency.
At this time, Zhang Yuanwei had returned to the escort agency. When he heard that Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu had arrived, he quickly opened the door and came out to greet them.
"I pay my respects to the prince and princess."
"Get up," Huo Changhe led Yan Ruyu inside.
"Where does Liu Chengzhi live? Lead the way, the princess wants to see."
Liu Chengzhi's residence was very clean, no different from other bodyguards' residences, except that it was a single room.
Huo Changhe closed the door and stood guard outside, while everyone else retreated to the stairs.
Yan Ruyu was in the house and did not waste any time or energy. She switched her eyes and checked the house to see if there were any dark rooms or secret compartments.
Soon, I found a compartment in the closet with a box inside.
I opened it and took it out. There were some silver bills and a few books inside, which should be bills or something like that.
It says gambling is prohibited.
As expected, everything was secretly controlled by Liu Chengzhi. Master Bai and Gongyang Hua were just his puppets.
As for Pei Song and his ilk, they were just small characters bought off by Gong Yanghua after he seized control.
Yan Ruyu looked through the box. There weren't many things in it, and the accounts only covered the past two months.
It seems that he has another supervisor online, who reports to him once in a while.
He checked other places and searched carefully again to make sure there was nothing else. Then he put the box into the space and opened the door to go out.
Huo Changhe turned around and asked: "Have you finished searching?"
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Let's go."
Zhang Yuanwei walked him to the door, and Huo Changhe said, "Since you have taken over the escort agency again, you must do business well. If Youcheng is good, all industries will be good, including you."
This was tantamount to a promise. Although Zhang Yuanwei didn't know what would happen in the future, he was excited and at ease.
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely reorganize the escort agency, do business well, and abide by the law."
Huo Changhe nodded: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to take the cloth back."
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu got on the horse and said, "Captain Zhang, if you have free time, you can go to West City to help. Building Youcheng is everyone's responsibility."
Zhang Yuanwei immediately cupped his hands: "Yes."
After Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu left, Zhang Yuanwei was full of energy and vigor. All the haze was over, and it was like he had lived again.
Tomorrow, at sunrise, his surviving trusted elders will also return.
Yuanwei Escort Agency will return to his hands.
When they returned to the palace, it was already late, so Huo Changhe asked Yan Ruyu to rest first and it would not be too late to interrogate her tomorrow.
The next morning, the eldest lady invited them over for breakfast.
There were also a large number of ready-made cotton handkerchiefs, sweat towels and the like in the room.
Even though it's a free gift, the cotton material is good and the workmanship is good, it's really good.
Yan Ruyu was surprised: "How come you made so many so quickly?"
"Yes, the women soldiers did a great job. Wen Xiaolian is also good at sewing and very skillful."
The eldest lady praised Wen Xiaolian highly.
Yan Ruyu thought to herself, the "flower" has been caught, now only the "mountain" is left.
After a thorough investigation, I believe the “mountain” will be there soon.
After breakfast, Huo Changhe ordered Song Ping to go to the governor's mansion and bring Zhang Qi to the palace.
Zhang Qi was imprisoned in the prison, feeling restless and anxious. He also thought that if he didn't go back, his master would definitely find out and might even try to find out the information and save him.
As he was waiting, a jailer came to take him away.
"Zhang Qi, come out!"
Zhang Qi was both excited and nervous: "Sir, where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when you get there. What's the point of talking nonsense?"
Zhang Qi didn't dare to say anything more and followed the jailer out.
When he saw Song Ping, his expression changed slightly.
Song Ping looked him up and down: "We meet again."
Zhang Qi: “???”
Although he knew Song Ping, he had never dealt with him face to face. He only got to know him through secret observation.
Why does Song Ping seem to know him?
How could he know that the threats were actually directed at Song Ping who was pretending to be Zhou Shan.
