Chapter 1726 Something is fishy
Chapter 1726 Something is fishy
Although Governor Cao had not done anything before, he was not stupid and had seen many cases.
"Princess, I think Qiu Keshi admitted his guilt too readily."
"If I were to look a little further to the left, his crime would be a serious one. It's not an exaggeration to say that he hired someone to kill someone and plotted to take his property. He should be sentenced to death by beheading."
"I don't believe him, but he still admitted it readily."
Yan Ruyu was also thinking about this question: "Your Excellency is right. This is why I stayed."
"Just now the abbot reminded me to take my time in arresting him, and I and Cui Chong did the same. But according to Cui Chong, after he went to the Qiu Mansion, he gave Qiu Keshi time to escape. It was Qiu Keshi who came to meet us on his own. We had no choice but to arrest him."
Governor Cao told Cui Chong everything he had said about how Qiu Ke Shi was captured.
Yan Ruyu looked at him, thought it over again and again, and did not tell him about the iron mine.
Iron ore is different from gold mine. Gold can be shared with him, but he may not dare to take the iron ore even if it is shared with him.
What are you going to do? You will just be terrified.
"Princess, I think there must be something fishy about this matter. This Qiu Keshi is still under retrial. Let's lock him up for a few days to temper his temper."
"Your Excellency is absolutely right. He can't escape anyway, and the evidence is solid. There is no such thing as wrongly accusing him, and he is not afraid of others talking about him."
"Don't worry, sir. The Zhennan Palace will naturally support you."
Governor Cao felt relieved and said, "Thank you, Princess. I will review this case carefully."
"By the way, I am also sorting out the follow-up of the road construction. Once it is completed, it will be submitted to the princess for review."
"You can hand this matter over to the master. He will handle it. This is also the matter he has done the most."
Governor Cao sighed: "Master is truly a god!"
Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter and said, "He has always been low-key. This time, in order to capture Qiu Ke Shi, he saw the fake Taoist priest and had to fight with him. He had no choice."
Governor Cao was moved again, saying that the master was kind and righteous, and so on.
Yan Ruyu said, "There is one more thing I want to discuss with you, sir."
"Qiukeshi is different, that's for sure. So, for fear that he might be silenced or commit suicide, I want to place two people in the prison to keep an eye on him."
As soon as she reminded him, Governor Cao immediately became serious.
"Yes, we must be on guard. Princess, please do as you wish. If the palace is willing to help, I would be more than happy to help."
"In addition, we also need to send people to keep an eye on the Qiu Mansion. I would like to ask you to arrange for people to be in the open, and I will arrange for people to be in the dark."
"Okay, I'll follow the princess's arrangements."
Everything was finalized, and Yan Ruyu stood up to say goodbye.
As soon as they arrived at the palace, Yinding came over with two guards.
"Princess, the two of them followed Qiu Keshi to a house."
The guard quickly reported the situation, and Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.
"Qiukeshi entered from the front door and left from the back door, and it only took half an hour?"
"Exactly."
Half an hour, which is an hour, is not long, but not short either.
Yan Ruyu silently pondered, what happened in this hour?
After that, Qiu Keshi went straight home, and then Cui Chong came to arrest people.
Qiu Keshi seemed to be waiting to be caught. He was not surprised by Cui Chong's arrival, nor did he resist.
Yan Ruyu felt that that hour was crucial.
"Yin Ding, go and see what's in that house."
"Also, arrange two people to keep an eye on the Qiu Mansion, Master Qiu."
"Yes."
Everyone went their separate ways. The abbot came in from outside and said, "Ruyu, there is some bad news."
"What's wrong?" Yan Ruyu's heart tightened a little.
The abbot touched his bald head and said, "It's... not a big deal. It's just that the map system has been updated."
Yan Ruyu was surprised: "Update? Isn't this a good thing?"
"It's a good thing. I took a look and found that the streets of Youcheng are more detailed. However, after the system was updated, the original locations have turned gray and seem to have lost their function."
"I was thinking about asking you for another one, let's try."
Yan Ruyu thought quickly and found that the navigation had hers, Huo Changhe's, the Ninth Princess's, and Qiu Ke Shi's.
The Ninth Princess and her entourage had long since gone out of scope and had lost their effectiveness, and Qiu Ke Shi had been captured, so they were basically useless.
"Okay," Yan Ruyu handed him a small flashlight, "this one."
"Your Polaroid camera is very useful."
The abbot was naturally happy to be praised: "Of course, I used to take pictures with my mobile phone and I was able to take great pictures. I'll take a few pictures for you some other day."
"Hey, what do you think about me opening a photo studio?"
"Don't mention it. I think business will definitely be good," the abbot said excitedly. "Think about it. They are all portraits now. They are not even like the real thing and they take a lot of effort. It's not like Polaroid. You can take it immediately. Although it's a little small, this small shortcoming is not a big deal compared to other advantages."
Yan Ruyu also thought that it was feasible.
"Okay, but you can't say you can pick it up right away. It will make you look too weird. You can pick it up in three days."
"Good," the abbot rubbed his hands happily, "Oh, come on, I accidentally discovered another business opportunity."
"Hey, that guy, the one with the last name Qiu, do you think he's weird? His father is weird too."
Yan Ruyu thought: "How do you say that?"
"Although I have never been a father, I have seen fathers," the abbot recalled. "Do you remember that Mr. Wang in our unit, his eyes lit up when he mentioned his son and grandson? He was so proud."
"Last time his son was on a mission and broke his arm. That guy was crying so hard."
"Although it's a little scary, I think that's the normal reaction of being a father."
Yan Ruyu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Both Lao Wang and his son worked in the unit. He had retired to the second line due to his old age, while his son was in his prime, had good skills, and was a righteous man. He had been a partner with her twice and she had a good feeling about them.
There was one time when she broke her arm. She needed a helper at that time, so she contacted him. It was only after they contacted her that she found out that his arm was broken. By the time she completed her mission and returned, his arm had already healed.
"You think that Mr. Qiu's reaction is abnormal. I remember he cried too."
Yan Ruyu recalled the scene at that time.
"He was crying," the abbot said in a low voice, "but I felt that the force was wrong. It was different from the way that Big Lao Wang was crying."
Yan Ruyu: "..."
"I have arranged the personnel and discussed it with Governor Cao. He sent two yamen runners to act in the open, and I sent people in the dark."
"Good, good, that's good," the abbot nodded, "this way it's absolutely safe."
As the two were talking, Song Ping walked in quickly: "Princess, Cui Chong is here and wants to see you for something urgent."
Cui Chong's arrival at this time was probably related to the affairs of the Qiu family.
"Let him in."
Cui Chong's face was gloomy and full of guilt. He walked forward and greeted him.
"Princess... I'm so sorry."
Yan Ruyu had a bad feeling in her heart: "What happened?"
