Chapter 1924 Goodbye Yu Fei
Chapter 1924 Goodbye Yu Fei
Seeing Huo Changhe's bad attitude, the constable wanted to teach him a lesson, but when he heard him mention Liu Balang, his arrogance immediately subsided a lot.
"You... the ship you're talking about is the one that goes south?"
Huo Changhe asked in return: "How come you have other bigger ships?"
"No, no, that's all," the constable said with a quick smile and a bow. "Sorry to bother you. Please rest well. We'll search elsewhere."
They left the yard and the noise gradually faded away.
Huo Changhe entered the room and said, "We have to leave quickly. I mentioned Liu Balang. If he gets wind of the news, he might come looking for us. We just don't want to see him and let him not see us."
"Okay, let's go."
There's nothing else to pack, so just leave.
The two of them left first, followed by Yin Ding. Feng Xiao and the others packed up and waited for a while before leaving in batches.
There is no need to look for help from any dental clinic, just find Yu Liang.
Yu Fei happened to be there too. When he heard that Yu Liang had returned, the two brothers had a great chat.
Seeing the silver ingot, Yu Liang happily introduced it. After hearing the purpose of the silver ingot, Yu Fei volunteered.
"Xiaoliang just came back and is not familiar with many situations. If you trust me, let me handle this matter."
Yinding had heard about him from Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu a long time ago, but he obviously didn't know the relationship between Yinding and Huo Changhe.
We'll talk about it when the time comes.
Yin Ding nodded: "That would be troublesome."
He took out the silver and handed it to Yu Fei.
"No need," Yu Fei declined. "To be honest, there's a yard in the alley next to our house. It's a bit old, but it's very clean. From the number of people you mentioned, there's enough room for us."
"The owner of the house and I are friends. He went to Jiangnan for business two years ago and asked me to look after the house."
"If you don't mind, you can move in."
When Yinding heard this, he was overjoyed. He went to see the house immediately. He thought it was good and reported it immediately.
It was not late yet when Yan Ruyu and the others moved in.
Yu Fei was surprised to see Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe.
"You two are..."
Yu Liang quickly introduced them and Yu Fei knelt down immediately.
"I do not know the identity of the prince and princess, and I am sorry for the offense. Please forgive me, prince and princess."
Huo Changhe gestured to Yu Liang to help him up: "You also said that if you don't know your identity, it's not your fault."
Yan Ruyu asked, "There's something I want to ask you."
"Princess, please ask, and I will tell you everything I know."
"We arranged for the men in black to rescue you. How did you all get away in the end? Are you all safe?"
"Of course, the men in black were very skilled in martial arts, so saving us was no problem. At first, everyone thought they were bad guys and that we were doomed, so they were all very scared."
"Later, they neglected to keep watch. I remembered that before I left, the prince had told me to go home and wait for news. I felt that this matter was unusual."
"So I suggested that we take the opportunity to escape," Yu Fei said with a wry smile, "just like when the princess suggested escaping, no one agreed."
"I repeatedly persuaded them, saying that the men in black were different from Hu San and would kill without blinking an eye. If they didn't flee, they would die. Only then did they leave."
"They escaped smoothly. When they were discovered, they just shouted a few words from behind. I was even more certain that they were here to rescue us."
Yu Fei smiled, but still felt scared when he thought about that time.
"Later, we came to an intersection. I thought they had chosen a good spot, right near the official road. There were a lot of people and cars on the road. If you stop a bullock cart or horse carriage and say a few nice words to the driver, most people will be happy to give you a ride."
"That's how I got back to Rongzhou."
"Of them, the two men left on an ox cart, and of the two women, one seemed to have taken a horse-drawn carriage and left, while the other was still there when I left."
"Which one?" Yan Ruyu asked.
Yu Fei glanced at Huo Changhe, and before he said anything, Yan Ruyu understood.
She is the woman who wants to marry Huo Changhe and is now working in the governor's mansion.
"There is another one. Where is that little girl?" Huo Changhe asked.
Yu Fei thought for a moment: "She said her home is not too far away, and she walked along the official road."
The reason why Yu Fei didn't remember it was because the little girl was very quiet at the time and had a low sense of presence, unlike others who were noisy, crying, and complaining, which left a deep impression on him.
It seems that Yu Fei doesn't know the specific situation, why the woman didn't leave, and how she went to the governor's mansion.
"What do you know about Su Zhenhai?"
Yu Fei was stunned. Su Zhenhai was a big shot to commoners like them. If he was asked to say that he understood him, he didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, just say it directly. Say what you know, and it doesn't matter if you say it wrong."
Yu Fei pondered and said, "I think he is a good person. Rongzhou almost had a disaster a while ago. At the critical moment, he led the officers and soldiers to protect the dike and the people and escape to higher ground."
"It was because he arrived in time and blocked the breach that a catastrophe was averted. Otherwise, the flood would have covered an area of three hundred miles."
"I'm afraid we'll have to ask the imperial court to provide disaster relief."
Yan Ruyu glanced at Huo Changhe, who shook his head slightly - he didn't know about this, nor did he see the person he liked mention it.
"Governor Ding doesn't do anything himself. He just lives a life of drunkenness and debauchery. He has no ability himself, and yet he doesn't let others do anything. Ever since that incident, he's been very dissatisfied with the Sucheng Envoy. He didn't achieve any merit that time, so he didn't report it at all."
"Even if he reports it, it will be for his own merits."
Huo Changhe frowned and asked, "Has Governor Ding always been like this? Was he like this when he first arrived?"
Yu Fei thought for a moment and said, "That's not the case. He was a good official when he first came here. Although Rongzhou was not rich before, it was considered average, but he could still make a living."
"When Governor Ding arrived, he was initially a minor official. He worked hard, but he built two docks in Rongzhou and operated the freight routes on his ship."
"It can be said that he did make great efforts and devoted his heart and soul to the subsequent prosperity of Rongzhou."
"The people were very grateful to him and spoke very highly of him. Some even called him the Water God."
"But later on...people's hearts change. Perhaps they become rich, or powerful. Once they reach a high position, they no longer do everything themselves like before. They delegate everything to their subordinates, and gradually, things change."
Huo Changhe was silent for a moment.
"I heard that his family also fell into the river and disappeared. Did his personality change since then?"
Yan Ruyu asked. She thought that a big reason for a person to undergo a major change is that he is exposed to a huge stimulus, which is usually traumatic.
Yu Fei thought for a moment and said, "It seems... it's even earlier than that."
"He changed, and his wife was unhappy. She had an argument with him and then decided to go back to her parents' home for a while. As a result..."
"However, he felt very guilty about this matter. He held a grand funeral and fainted several times from crying in front of the coffin."
