Chapter 1630 Farewell
Having asked this question, Yan Ruyu did not ask any further questions.
"In that case, you are wronged."
Li Sugui cupped his hands and said, "What are you talking about? It's my fault for not handling things properly and causing everyone to misunderstand me."
"Here, my father and I apologize to you all."
The father and son bowed respectfully.
Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu looked at each other.
Huo Changhe said: "Since it is a misunderstanding, let's just talk it out. With Mr. Sima's face and affection, this misunderstanding is nothing."
"Then please ask Manager Li to bury the bodies properly and keep a record so that if any relatives come looking for them one day, they will have an explanation."
"must."
"In that case," Huo Changhe bowed, "we won't stay any longer. Goodbye."
Yan Ruyu placed the jade beads on the table, and left with Huo Changhe.
Li Sugui wanted to see him out personally, but Huo Changhe said, "Manager Li is injured, please stay."
After they left, Li Sugui let out a sigh and turned back into the house.
"Father," Li Wanglin held the beads, "are you okay?"
Li Sugui shook his head silently: "My two brothers, I'm sorry to be frightened."
Zheng Qing and Wu Da bowed their hands in shame and said, "Brother Li, you are too kind. We were not able to help much and were arrested. We are sorry for failing to live up to your trust."
"What are you saying? You are here to help me," Li Sugui said to Li Wanglin, "Take the two uncles to rest and prepare lunch. We can talk about other things in the afternoon."
"Yes."
Li Sugui sat alone in the room, thinking for a while - just as he expected, that couple was really not simple, and it was better to stay still now.
Yan Ruyu, Huo Changhe, and the Sima family left the inn.
They planned to accompany the Sima family through the valley, and then return separately when they reached a suitable place.
The Sima family was very happy to learn that they were going to escort them for a while.
Ma Liyu also accompanied them. Seeing that they were all fine, he finally felt relieved.
In addition to them, there were many pedestrians on the road. Most people left the inn today. The valley, which had been silent for several days, suddenly became bustling with people.
This is a good thing, as it allows people who are nervous to no longer worry or be afraid.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe followed behind on horseback, chatting as they walked.
"Your Highness, do you think what Li Sugui said is true?"
"What you said is true, but there is something else that I haven't said yet," Huo Changhe said firmly.
Yan Ruyu nodded: "I am not sure whether the formation is related to him."
"I still don't think he's the type to design these things."
Huo Changhe had a smile on his face, and Yan Ruyu asked, "Did the prince discover anything?"
"Yu'er, didn't you notice that Li Wanglin's way of addressing Li Sugui is a little different?"
Yan Ruyu thought back and said, "Father, he called Li Sugui father. They are father and son, so it seems right."
"Do you still remember the joke we played with Li Jingyao?" Huo Changhe asked.
Yan Ruyu thought of Li Jingyao. When she passed by his mountain village, she stayed there for two days and made some jokes when she was slightly drunk.
Li Jingyao said that it was good to be a gangster. He was the chief of a village, and after he had children, he would be the deputy chief.
Huo Changhe asked him, what about his father? Is he the old village chief?
Yan Ruyu couldn't help laughing when she recalled this incident: "Li Jingyao said that his father was a scholar and had passed away a long time ago. If he knew that he had become the chief of the village, he would definitely jump out of his grave and scold him."
Huo Changhe smiled without saying anything, and Yan Ruyu suddenly realized what he had just said.
"You are talking about father, Li Jingyao is talking about dad."
Huo Changhe nodded: "That's right. Generally speaking, people in the martial arts world are free and easy, and they are more casual in addressing others. Formal addresses like father and mother are not unused. For example, some aristocratic families in the martial arts world also use such addresses."
"But according to Li Sugui, he has been wandering around the world with his father since he was a child, so it shouldn't happen."
"Furthermore, when he mentioned the government, the hatred in his tone did not sound fake or casual. It seemed like he was genuinely feeling that he had been hurt."
"Also, don't forget, he changed his name. Unless there is something major going on, most people won't change their names easily."
Although Yan Ruyu has been in this world for some time, her thinking is still far from that of the real ancients.
She was not aware of being addressed like this.
On second thought, in modern times, in the early years, only city dwellers would call each other "Mom and Dad", while people in the countryside mostly called them "Dad and Mom". Later, as development improved, the gap between urban and rural areas narrowed, and the names gradually became unified.
As for changing names, in ancient times, unless people were very poor, most people's names had some meaning. If they were chosen by their elders, they would not be easily changed.
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Your Highness is wise, so, do you think that there is something we don't know about Li Sugui's identity?"
"I have written a letter and asked Xiang Guang to send it back to the city by pigeon. We will soon know whether my guess is right or not."
They left a day later than Xiang Guang and split into two groups.
Xiang Guang also wants to stay and check the situation in the inn.
……
When Governor Cao received the carrier pigeon, it was already afternoon and he had just taken a short nap.
He has been too busy these days to take a nap, but he was so happy today that he had a few drinks at noon.
When the abbot came to see him yesterday, he said that they would go to repair the road in the evening, and asked him not to be late this morning, but to go outside the city first to control public opinion to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to spread rumors and turn a good thing into a bad one.
At that time, he was still a little confused, even a little skeptical.
In his opinion, the road was built very quickly. It took only a few days to complete it, but it already looked quite good. You know, under normal circumstances, such a thing would be impossible to complete within three or two months.
But the abbot was from the Zhennan Palace, and he had a high reputation and was capable, so Governor Cao had no choice but to agree.
Anyway, I'll go and see it tomorrow.
Why do they do this? It's for the good of Youcheng.
He readily agreed, got up early this morning, and took people out of the city to see it.
When the city gate was opened and I looked closely, I was shocked.
The road outside the city is calm, wide and smooth like a mirror.
Governor Cao rubbed his eyes and almost thought he was seeing things.
Step on it carefully - comfortable!
It feels like the roads in the city are not so smooth.
He was just shocked when Li Chengshi also arrived.
He rolled off his horse and had exactly the same reaction as him.
The two of them supported each other and walked slowly forward. They wanted to move their feet, but they didn't dare to move them too fast for fear of damaging them. In fact, they knew they wouldn't damage anything.
The two of them supported each other, patted each other on the shoulders, and laughed.
Just as he was laughing like a madman, the abbot arrived.
The two of them hurried back, grabbed the abbot, and thanked him profusely.
As the sun rose high in the sky, people who were working and common people who had heard the news came.
As the abbot said, there were occasional unpleasant voices, but with the presence of Governor Cao and City Envoy Li, they were able to control the direction of public opinion and they were quickly suppressed.
Governor Cao was so happy that he drank a little too much. When he woke up, he saw Cui Chong and Song Ping coming in with a carrier pigeon in their hands.
