On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu saw Cui Chong's hesitation and realized that what was inside might not be simple.

"It's okay, just take it out."

Song Ping looked at Huo Changhe and said, "Your Majesty, the remains of the body we found are in this bag."

Let me say it first to give you a reminder so that you won’t be startled when you take it out directly.

So that's why. No wonder Cui Chong hesitated.

Yan Ruyu nodded, and the boss didn't show any nervousness or fear at all.

Linlang urged: "Please hurry up, I want to see what this corpse looks like."

Cui Chong: “…” The people in the palace are indeed extraordinary.

Cui Chong did not hesitate any longer, opened the cloth bag and took out the things inside.

It was indeed a corpse, and it was indeed a woman's.

It wasn't an arm or a hand, but a section of thigh with a pelvis.

The skin and flesh seemed to have been bitten and were incomplete. The visual impact was strong enough. If Song Ping hadn't reminded her, Yan Ruyu would have been frightened when she saw it for the first time.

The boss had been to the battlefield and had seen many body parts and corpses, but he was not afraid. Linlang was not only not afraid, but her eyes were wide open.

Song Ping said: "At first I didn't find anything, only torn clothes and shoes. Then I walked a little further and found this on the edge of the cliff."

"It's called a cliff, but it's not the kind that's extremely high and bottomless. It's only about four or five rooms high. I went down to take a look. It should have been a place where no one had ever set foot, and the snow surface should have been intact. However, on the contrary, it's not only damaged, but also in a mess."

Cui Chong took over and said, "We think that this is where the beast is. It came up from there. There are also traces of dragging and blood at the bottom of the cliff."

That being said, that should be it.

Huo Changhe asked: "Where does the bottom of the cliff lead to?"

"I looked around and walked two miles, but I didn't find any traces of people in the village. According to the woodcutter, he had never been to the bottom of the cliff. For me, that place is not too high or too deep, but for ordinary people, it is still very dangerous."

It’s four or five rooms high, and if you fall down you will die.

Yan Ruyu asked Huo Changhe: "I remember they said that when the Wu family's eldest lady went out, she took her maid with her?"

"That's what they said," Huo Changhe looked at the remains of the corpse. Although the clothes on the corpse were stained with blood and were in tatters, it was still obvious that they were of medium to high quality and were not something that maids or old women would wear.

"The eldest wife of the Wu family is treated badly, and the eldest lady probably doesn't buy many new clothes. The style and pattern of this dress are all old, and the material is still of medium to high quality," Yan Ruyu said, "It seems that this is the eldest lady. What about the maid?"

Cui Chong and Song Ping shook their heads.

"There was only this little bit of corpse, and the maid didn't find it."

The eldest boss asked, "Will it be eaten?"

Huo Changhe said, "It shouldn't be the case. No matter how young the maid is, she is still a teenager. Generally, tigers and leopards can't eat a person at a time, not to mention the remains of the body. It's equivalent to eating a whole person, plus more than half."

It's really unlikely, this appetite is a bit too big.

"Could there be more than one?" The boss said, but he also felt it was unlikely.

Song Ping said: "Maybe they were dragged away, otherwise the bottom of the cliff wouldn't be like that."

This speculation is relatively likely.

Yan Ruyu asked, "Have you seen the Wu family? What did they say?"

Song Ping couldn't help but look contemptuous: "Two servants went there. They had just arrived when we arrived. If we didn't go, judging from their appearance, they would probably just look at the blood, clothes and shoes, and the place where they picked up the waist badge, and would not go in, and would not find the remains of the body at all."

"Two servants," Huo Changhe sneered, "The Wu family can really send them out."

"When they were alive, they didn't care about them and didn't regard them as human beings. What's more, they are dead and have no value at all. I guess," Yan Ruyu said sarcastically, "they are still discussing how to sell the big house's things."

"Except for the shop that lost money, the furniture in the big house is worth every penny."

Cui Chong and Song Ping said in unison: "How shameless."

Cui Chong continued, "Last time the Lord came to court, it seemed that he didn't punish Wu Lao San enough. He was so shameless."

Yan Ruyu stroked the bracelet on her wrist and looked at the remains of the corpse without saying a word.

Cui Chong misunderstood that she didn't want to see this again, so he quickly put it in the bag.

After saying everything that needed to be said, he went back to report that Song Ping was at the palace, and that Song Ping had done more work than he had, and that it was Song Ping who went down to the bottom of the cliff first.

This made him, a constable, feel really ashamed.

"Detective Cui," Yan Ruyu said, "Can you keep this for now? I'll send someone back tomorrow."

Cui Chong was stunned. Stay?

Song Ping whispered, "Listen to the princess, stay if you ask me to. I will go back with you later to report to the governor."

Yan Ruyu nodded and said, "Okay, Song Ping, you can go back with Constable Cui to explain the situation to Governor Cao, and I'll return tomorrow."

Cui Chong said quickly, "Don't bother Brother Song Ping. I can go back alone. The governor will agree. I will take my leave now."

Yan Ruyu said, "Detective Cui, please wait a moment."

She turned and went into the house, packed some red fruits, some fresh vegetables given to her by the abbot, and a few fat chickens, and returned to the courtyard.

Song Ping came forward, took the basket and handed it to Cui Chong.

Cui Chong refused with his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the basket and he took it honestly with both hands.

"This... I'm so sorry. It's not right to ask for it. Princess, you are so polite. I really don't deserve it."

Song Ping: "..." He just grabbed her and pulled her over. Are you still feeling guilty?

Song Ping reached out and grabbed a red fruit from the basket. Cui Chong's eyes widened, but before he could say anything, Song Ping had already taken a bite.

Cui Chong turned the basket around and bowed again: "Thank you, Princess, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

He ran away in a flash. These things were not easy to get. Last time, the guards delivered two full carts of silver ingots to the governor's mansion. The governor was reluctant to share any with them and only let them taste a little, looking very distressed.

But it is indeed delicious.

He finally got it this time, and he had to go home first to give the thing to his wife.

Halfway through the journey, he thought again, his brothers usually get along well with each other, he shouldn't be too selfish, so... just give each of them a red fruit.

No more.

Cui Chong ran away happily, and Yan Ruyu looked at the mutilated body, speechless for a moment.

Huo Changhe asked, "What's wrong? Yu'er, is there something wrong?"

Song Ping said, "Princess, I will go and look for the remains of that maid."

Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "Don't worry, let's find out who this corpse belongs to first."

Song Ping was stunned: "Isn't this the eldest lady of the Wu family?"

"I can't be sure since I can't see the face now," Yan Ruyu shook her head, "If there are hands, it would be easier to be sure."

Song Ping was puzzled: "Why?"
