Neither Shen Wenqi nor Governor Cao expected Yan Ruyu to say this.

At first, Governor Cao thought that this was a plan of Yan Ruyu, but after hearing the end, he felt that... it seemed to make some sense.

It seems real.

Are you really going to die?

Governor Cao was unwilling to accept this. He was living a good life, with a good wife, a good daughter and a good grandson. Who would want to die?

What he was doing just now about hitting the pillar and leaving his name was just to scare Shen Wenqi.

Since you are dead, does it matter whether you are famous or not?

Governor Cao didn't want to die.

Shen Wenqi was also confused and sneered, "Cao Governor, listen, you think you are an important person, but in the eyes of important people, you are nothing."

Governor Cao opened his mouth, and Yan Ruyu chuckled: "Shen Wenqi, you don't have to stir up trouble. It's not your turn to say whether he is a person of character or not."

"You used the name of repaying a favor to do dirty things, cheated people into marriage and money, and colluded with foreign spies to bring disaster to Youcheng. You should have died long ago!"

Shen Wenqi was stunned: "What? Don't talk nonsense about who is colluding with the spies."

"Whether it is or not, then you don't need to worry about things that can be verified after your death."

Shen Wenqi was shocked and angry: "Are you going to frame me?"

"Whether it's stolen or not, God knows, you know, and I know it too."

Shen Wenqi gritted her teeth. At this moment, Mrs. Cao came out from the crowd and opened her eyes wide when she saw this scene.

Shen Wenqi's eyes flashed darkly: "Mrs. Cao, look carefully, this is your husband. Others don't want to save him, but you won't not save him, right?"

"If you want to save him, you can. Give me 50,000 taels of silver, 100 taels of silver, and a fast horse!"

Madam Cao sniffed and looked at Governor Cao and said, "Husband!"

Governor Cao felt a little sad. He wanted his wife to agree, but he also didn't want her to agree.

"Madam, I..."

"Husband, don't worry, after you die, I will guard you for three years!"

Governor Cao: “……!”

Madam Cao wiped away her tears and said, "For the sake of the country, you died a worthy death. I think you will also be smiling in your grave."

Governor Cao: I don’t want to die with a smile on my face. I want to live with a smile on my face.

Mrs. Cao cried and leaned forward.

Shen Wenqi was so angry that he almost died. What kind of person was this? The governor of a city was in his hands, but he was useless?

What kind of official is this!

Before he knew it, Mrs. Cao came closer and suddenly raised her hand. A scent wrapped in a cloud of powder came towards him on the head.

He was totally unprepared. Governor Cao tilted his head, closed his eyes tightly, and held his breath.

This little bit of powder, this little bit of fragrance, he inhaled it all by himself.

In an instant, the sky turned, the earth shook, and half of his strength was instantly drained away.

Madam Cao grabbed Governor Cao's wrist and dragged him over here: "Come here quickly!"

Governor Cao was pulled and staggered, almost falling, but fortunately, he was out of danger.

As soon as he escaped from Shen Wenqi's control, several figures pounced on Shen Wenqi.

Shen Wenqi shook his head and bit the tip of his tongue hard with his teeth. The sharp pain instantly made him sober. Although his strength was greatly reduced, his speed was still not slow.

He stepped back on his tiptoes, arms outstretched, and quickly dodged the attack.

He then turned around, climbed over the roofs and treetops, and after a few flashes, he disappeared.

Yan Ruyu withdrew her gaze, and the image of him standing on tiptoe with his arms outstretched just now still appeared in her mind.

This posture...

On the other side, Governor Cao was rescued and was so excited that he held on to his wife and refused to let go.

"It's too dangerous, ma'am. I just... I just blamed you for being wrong. I thought you were really willing to let me die."

Governor Cao felt guilty: "I'm sorry, ma'am."

Madam Cao sighed, "If I didn't say that, would he be able to let his guard down? These words were taught to me by the princess."

"Princess?" Governor Cao choked. Didn't the princess want him to die?

Madam Cao patted her chest and said, "I am wearing a gold silk soft armor, which was given to me by the princess, in case I was accidentally injured. The princess wanted to rescue you herself, but I think it would be more reasonable for me to do it, and it would make Shen Wenqi relax her vigilance."

Governor Cao suddenly realized.

The couple went to Yan Ruyu to express their gratitude.

"You're welcome. To be honest, it's because of me that Governor Cao was hated by Shen Wenqi and suffered this unprovoked disaster."

Governor Cao waved his hands and said, "No, no, what are you talking about, Princess? Shen Wenqi's behavior is the fault of my failure to supervise her strictly. How can you blame the Princess?"

"Princess, please don't say anything more. I will send someone to arrest Shen Wenqi immediately!"

Yan Ruyu murmured, "Sir, you can catch him, but don't push him too hard."

Governor Cao was stunned.

……

Two days passed in a flash, and no trace of Shen Wenqi was found.

Since he escaped that day, he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

The search in the city was still going on, and the entrances and exits were very strict, but everyone knew that Shen Wenqi, as Sima, was always aware of what was happening in the city, and might have already escaped.

After a while, the soldiers who were checking people became a little lax.

Early that morning, a carriage arrived. The soldier was yawning, but when he saw the carriage he immediately perked up.

Jiang Ruhuan was in the carriage and lifted a corner of the curtain: "Thank you for your hard work, I need to go to Shenyuan Temple."

The soldiers who were checking saw that it was originally the Shen family's car, but now it has become the Jiang family's car.

"Miss Jiang, take care."

After a simple inspection, they let it go.

Jiang Ruhuan and Jiang Tangli in the car let out a sigh of relief.

Jiang Tangli cursed, "This guy is such a troublemaker. He can't let others go even after he ran away! We are going to the temple, not to kill or burn anything, but we still have to be examined for him."

"Sister, look at the way other people looked at us just now. They were all different."

Jiang Ruhuan comforted him, "Okay, don't be angry, let's go to the temple, maybe we can solve our problems, that's enough, as for him, don't pay any attention to him."

Jiang Tangli pouted helplessly and had to give up.

The carriage was not moving fast, but it was safe. We finally arrived at the temple near noon.

After having lunch in the temple, Jiang Ruhuan wandered around. She had only heard of the place before but had never been there. Even the fake pregnancy pills she had taken back were brought back to her by Shen Wenqi.

"We'll stay here tonight," Jiang Ruhuan was in a good mood. "We'll burn some incense tomorrow morning to let the Buddha know our sincerity."

Jiang Tangli had no choice but to agree.

Before, temples were only open on special days, but now it is different. They are open every day, which is very convenient.

For pilgrims who want to stay overnight, they can do so as long as there are vacancies.

The Jiang sisters were among the first batch.

After strolling and visiting in the afternoon, she was quite tired. It was getting dark and she had just finished dinner, so Jiang Tangli wanted to go back to her yard to rest.

As soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs, I couldn't help sniffing and looked around.

It seemed as if some wind was blowing past.

It also seems... a bit fishy.

The skin on the back of Jiang Tangli's neck stood up involuntarily. She didn't turn around, but slowly backed away.

When your back hits the door, quickly retreat back into the house and close the door.

Jiang Tangruhuan, who was in the inner room, heard the noise and asked, "Why are you back again?"
