Chapter 2579: Chapter 2579: Still No Trace (Part 3)
"Madam is right." Gao Xiangguang nodded frequently.
Yang Ruxin no longer said anything. Gao Xiangguang was a smart person. Regardless of whether he had any collusion with those mountain bandits, as long as he still wanted to be good, he would definitely sever those links and deal with them impartially.
The reason for not moving against him is that even if someone else is sent over, they might not be better than him.
The matter has reached this point and can finally be considered truly concluded. Gao Xiangguang didn’t dawdle and directly held court at the County Governor’s Office, but now it wasn’t just about trying mountain bandits; it also involved the County Magistrate of Sishui County, which caused an uproar among the people.
Yang Ruxin was not interested in how to deal with it; she was more concerned about Yang Baifu at the moment.
After he maliciously wounded and ran away, although there was a wanted notice from the Governor’s Office, he was never found, and unexpectedly he became a mountain bandit on Dongtou Mountain, which was quite an unexpected delight.
It’s just that although Erya provided clues, after all, a period of time had passed, and coupled with Yang Baifu’s deliberate evasion, Gu Yao searched extensively but still didn’t find him.
Yang Ruxin didn’t feel disappointed. If Yang Baifu were so easy to catch, he wouldn’t have been able to roam free for two years.
"This time four mountain bandits escaped, but their portraits and descriptions will be used to hunt them down." Gu Qingheng comforted Yang Ruxin, "He doesn’t dare to use the identity of Yang Baifu, nor will he dare to use the identity of Fugui anymore. But what other form could he take?"
Yang Ruxin nodded. Yang Baifu used to look quite good; later, to hide his identity, he grew a beard and adopted the alias Fugui. But now Fugui with a beard was also wanted, so what would he do to change his appearance next? The only way is to disfigure himself, and it’s not enough to just leave a scar; he’d need several scars. The question is, would he dare to harm himself that way?
There wasn’t any news on this matter for now, so it was put aside; after a two-day delay in travel, they could embark again. However, after a day of water navigation, Gu Qingheng disembarked with Gu Qiao and others, as the cruise was somewhat slow, preventing him from returning to Beijing within the designated time, forcing him to hurry on.
Yang Ruxin didn’t find anything amiss, realizing they would meet again in a few days. She calmly bid him farewell.
The journey afterward was much more peaceful and smooth. Five days later, Xiaohei brought news of Gu Qingheng that they had arrived in Beijing.
After three more days, the passenger ship finally reached the dock at Haijin City.
Yang Ruxin thanked Tian Ba and also gave him a life-saving medicine pill as a gift.
Tian Ba was so pleased that he didn’t want the silver, but Yang Ruxin insisted on paying him in full.
"Madam, I’m a rough person, but if there’s anything you need my help with in the future, just say the word. I can’t promise much, but on the canal, I might be of some use."
"Alright." Yang Ruxin nodded. If she were to build ships in the future, she would indeed need people like him to help.
Although they disembarked in the afternoon, everyone was still prepared to reach Beijing and rest there. However, just as the carriage left, it was stopped.
Yang Ruxin saw the person stopping the carriage and couldn’t help but laugh, "How did your Family Head know I was coming?"
Mao Dewang hurried over to salute, "Our Family Head knew Madam was coming to Beijing, so he sent Xiao Tian to await at the dock."
"Please thank your Family Head for me, but we must head to Beijing now; until we meet again, then."
