Chapter 1516 The prophecy comes true
"Princess, I want to discuss the renovation of West City with you again."
Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea and said, "If you want to pay for it, forget it. We have already agreed on it before, so let's do as we agreed."
"Didn't I just say that you don't have to feel guilty. Since it's given to you, it's what you deserve."
"Youcheng will develop better in the future, and there will be many places to spend money. My Lord, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future."
Having said that, Governor Cao stopped being pretentious.
The couple smiled at each other, feeling relieved, and happily enjoyed tea and snacks.
I have to say, the food in the palace is really delicious.
The atmosphere had just improved when the servant came hurriedly reporting.
"Princess, there are detectives outside the door looking for Governor Cao."
Governor Cao stood up quickly and said, "Looking for me? You must have something urgent, otherwise you wouldn't have come here."
"Princess, please allow me to leave first."
"Okay, sir, go and do your work first. I will send someone to take Madam home later."
"Thank you, Princess."
Governor Cao left in a hurry. Madam Cao looked at his back and sighed softly.
"My husband used to do nothing at home all day. He was so idle that he almost grew hair. He looked happy, but I knew he was unhappy inside."
"It's better now. I feel more energetic and happy. I used to be so busy that I didn't see anyone every day. Then when I came back, someone would come to look for me. It was really annoying."
Yan Ruyu smiled without saying anything and looked at Madam Cao, who blushed when she looked at her.
"Hey, Princess, look at you, looking at me like that..."
"I see how Madame is being Versailles."
"Versailles?"
As the two were chatting and laughing, Governor Cao came back.
"Princess, something strange has happened."
Yan Ruyu's smile faded slightly: "What's the matter?"
"The Shi family is... Princess may not know that Envoy Li has a deputy general named Shi..."
"Deputy General Shi? What happened to him? Please tell me."
"His wife is lost!"
Madam Cao opened her eyes slightly and said, "Lost? Didn't Madam Shi die of complications during childbirth? I even went to burn some paper money."
"Yes, I didn't explain it clearly. The body was missing," said Governor Cao, sweat oozing from his forehead. "Deputy General Shi and his wife were deeply in love. He was very sad because his wife died of complications during childbirth. Suddenly, he received news that Mrs. Shi's body was missing. He took people to the cemetery, and the old housekeeper was afraid that something might happen, so he came to report it to me."
Madam Cao was shocked: "This... the body can still be thrown away?"
Yan Ruyu frowned, remembering what the Goddess of Heaven's Eyes had said to Deputy General Shi before.
"You, your wife is missing."
Is it possible... that there really is some kind of eye in the sky that can see the future?
Yan Ruyu still didn't believe it.
"Sir," Yan Ruyu said, "You lead the way, and I will go with you."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Princess." Governor Cao instantly felt more confident.
Yan Ruyu did not bring anyone else with her. She asked Song Ping to call the eldest boss, and then took the two of them, following the carriage of Governor Cao, and led by the old steward of the Shi Mansion, and headed straight out of the city.
Mrs. Cao was also sitting in Yan Ruyu's car and was extremely surprised.
"Princess, are you saying that someone has predicted that Madam Shi will be lost?"
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes, but no one took it seriously at the time."
The big boss frowned and said, "Who would take that kind of words to heart? Obviously the person is already dead."
Madam Cao snorted, "Could they be tomb robbers? He was a deputy general, and he was in love with Madam, so he must have buried a lot of things with him. They are greedy for money, these people are really worthless."
Yan Ruyu thought to herself that this was not something that a tomb robber would do.
Just be afraid...
She thought of the corpses that had just been sent to Miaomiao for research two days ago. Those corpses were stolen and then transformed into zombie-like corpses that only knew how to attack.
However, she thought again and realized that the strange corpses she had encountered several times were all male, never female.
Yan Ruyu secretly wanted to believe that it was not the case.
While she was daydreaming, the carriage had already left the city. Yan Ruyu lifted the curtain and looked outside. The road was quite wide.
But it’s still not easy to walk.
Mrs. Cao said, "My husband also said that he wanted to repair the road. The weather is getting warmer, and when the old city renovation is not so busy, we can make progress."
"Princess, he has to pay for the road repair this time. Please don't compete with him for it."
"Okay," Yan Ruyu nodded in agreement.
The Shi family is a local family. After their family members die, they are buried in the ancestral tomb, which is quite large.
At this time, there were already quite a few people gathered around.
Yan Ruyu got off the carriage and saw the old steward of the Shi Mansion running inside.
When the people around saw that it was him, they turned their heads away. Then they saw Governor Cao, were slightly stunned, and greeted him politely.
Looking further back, there is Yan Ruyu.
Some of them recognized him and were even more surprised, and hurried over to greet him.
The people brought by Deputy General Shi included his own soldiers and a team of personal soldiers.
Last time there was an outbreak of disease in the military camp and many people fell ill, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe stayed in the camp for several days, prescribing medicine and boiling herbs to save people. Many soldiers still remember the scene at that time.
Yan Ruyu nodded and greeted everyone one by one.
She glanced not far away and saw a man with his back to her. He was tall and thin, and she could feel his grief just by looking at his back.
It was undoubtedly Deputy General Shi.
The old butler went over and whispered a few words, but Lieutenant General Shi did not respond.
Governor Cao and Yan Ruyu walked over.
Yan Ruyu didn't care about his "rudeness" and quickly looked around.
The people brought by Deputy General Shi did not come here, so the scene is still relatively intact.
She saw some jewelry and clothes dragged out on the ground. These should be Mrs. Shi’s burial objects.
Yan Ruyu's heart sank.
The burial objects were not lost, and even after being dragged out, they were not taken away. This shows that the person who stole the body was not interested in the property.
In other words, it was not done by ordinary tomb robbers.
If it's not for money, then it's simply for the body.
Yan Ruyu glanced at Deputy General Shi. He stood there in a daze, his eyes red and full of anger. He stared at the dug grave, his back teeth clenched tightly, and one hand grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist.
It seemed as if he would suddenly kill someone in the next moment.
Governor Cao said quickly, "Deputy General Shi, don't get angry yet. I will definitely help you find out the truth about this matter."
Deputy General Shi seemed to come back to his senses from his own world: "Whoever catches the person who stole my wife's body, no matter if he is a human or a ghost, I will cut him into pieces."
Yan Ruyu listened to his words and felt that there was something else behind his words, whether he was a human or a ghost.
She looked at the old butler, who wiped his eyes and said, "This morning, I found a tuft of red hair in front of the general's bedroom door. Many of the Yaksha ghosts in the painting have red hair."
Yan Ruyu: "..."
What kind of Yaksha ghost is that? It's simply impossible.
She suddenly felt someone's gaze falling on her. She turned around and saw someone standing quietly on a small hill in the distance, looking in her direction.
She was dressed in white and had a veil on her head, and her white veil was dancing in the wind.
