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

Soon, the runners and constables from the governor's office also arrived.

They came directly from the restaurant after receiving the news. Although they had a banquet tonight, they didn't drink much.

Governor Cao went outside to arrange matters and asked them to put the bodies of the servants in the Wu Mansion together first. The bodies in the rooms of Wu Laosan and the old lady should not be moved or entered.

We still need to protect the scene. It’s too late now. What if we find something else tomorrow?

"Everyone, pay attention. If there are any seriously injured but not dead, give them medical treatment in time. Also, if there are any abnormalities with the corpses that are related to the clues, do not let them go easily. Be careful!"

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison, excited.

They were having dinner with people from the palace tonight and they were greatly shocked. We are all human beings and we all serve them, so we cannot let others leave us too far behind.

They have also recently felt that, following the leadership of Governor Cao, things in the government office are changing for the better, and everyone's spirit and energy are all renewed.

This feeling is so good.

Seeing that Governor Cao and his men were full of energy, Yan Ruyu gave Huo Changhe a look, and the two of them understood.

"Cao, Madam, if there is nothing else, we will go back first. If you need anything, let me know at the mansion."

Governor Cao hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty and Princess. I am very grateful."

"Princess," Cao Cishi stepped forward, "I really need your help with something."

"What is it? Please tell me, sir."

"Princess, please send my wife back first. I don't know how long I will be busy."

Yan Ruyu smiled: "I'm very happy to do so."

Madam Cao whispered a few words to Governor Cao, who nodded repeatedly.

Arriving outside the Wu residence, Madam Cao breathed a sigh of relief: "The world is so unpredictable. I never thought that the Wu family would end up like this."

This matter was also beyond Yan Ruyu's expectations. The Wu family was indeed hateful. Let them suffer some setbacks and hit a wall, and then they will be honest and obedient in the future.

The whole family was wiped out.

They got on the carriage and sent Madam Cao back to the mansion first. Only after seeing her enter the mansion did Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe walk back.

I was happy when I came out, but full of doubts when I went back.

"What does Yu'er think?" Huo Changhe asked.

Yan Ruyu shook her head slowly: "I can't see anything yet, I have no clue."

"Wu Laosan is not a good person, and he owes a lot of money. People like him are creditors at most. Creditors generally don't kill people. Their main purpose is to get money."

"However," Yan Ruyu changed the subject, "I don't know whether Wu Laosan has ever robbed others of their property or killed someone in a desperate situation for money, causing his enemies to come to his door."

Huo Changhe touched her small hand warmer and changed two pieces of charcoal for her: "The death of Wu Lao San was a disgrace to the world; the look in the eyes of the Third Madam before her death; the expression of the Old Madam before her death, these three aspects can be used as entry points for investigation."

Yan Ruyu held the warm little stove and said with a smile, "Yes, the expressions of the two of them, especially Madam Wu, are very interesting."

"Besides, if we determine that they are acquaintances, the scope will be narrow and it will be relatively easier to investigate." Huo Changhe said softly, "This matter will spread by tomorrow morning. Governor Cao's people are in the open, and I don't know how he arranges the secret line, but we can make some arrangements."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Governor Cao is a nice guy. If he can find it himself, that would be great. If not, then we can give him a hand.

"The Wu family," Yan Ruyu said slowly, "has been trying to intimidate us since they appeared in our sight, in order to show goodwill to the Princess of Yongchang County."

"Until now, the whole family has been wiped out," Yan Ruyu paused here.

Huo Changhe asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "Nothing serious, I just felt that it was too hasty."

"It's like a supporting role that comes on stage hastily, to act in a play, to make up the plot, and then is killed off and the curtain falls on it."

Huo Changhe was slightly surprised and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

This statement is fresh, but when you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.

"If that's the case," Huo Changhe pondered, "who is the writer behind this?"

This is the kind of business that Huo Changxu is doing now. Sometimes the storybooks he sells are out of stock. People who read the storybooks are attracted by the stories and immersed in them, but they forget that the storybooks are also written by people.

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then we have to investigate carefully."

After a night passed, the next day was destined to be turbulent. Early in the morning, the news of the Wu family spread quickly throughout the city.

This was no small matter. The annihilation of an entire family was extremely rare in Youcheng, and the one that was annihilated was the somewhat famous Wu family.

A lot of people gathered in front of the Wu family's door early in the morning.

"This is too tragic. I don't know who he offended to make him do this."

"The Wu family has been unlucky recently, one after another, and now everyone has died."

"Didn't they bring trouble upon themselves? Wu Laosan stole the rations and sold them secretly. If there really is a war, wouldn't they be the ones who are being victimized?"

"That's right, the Dacheng army is still outside the city."

"They are not all dead. There is still the old man. Alas."

"I heard that the master of the first house went out of town to look for the first lady two days ago. I wonder..."

"Haven't you heard? The eldest lady was dragged and bitten to death by a wild beast on the way to Qingfeng Temple, along with her maid! I'm afraid..."

"Oh my god, this is..."

Feng Xiao squinted his eyes, holding a broken bowl in his arms, leaning against the corner and listening, like a beggar who had just eaten a full meal.

The gate of the Wu family is now guarded by runners from the governor's office. They are divided into two shifts. They just changed shifts in the morning and are very energetic.

While I was guarding the door, a car came from a distance and stopped in front of the door.

Feng Shao half opened his eyes and looked at the person who got off the car.

He was wearing a dark blue cotton robe and a gray fur-collared cloak, and holding a few bags of snacks in his hands. He looked a little tired, but happy.

Feng Shao didn't recognize him, but he heard someone in the crowd say, "Oh, it's Old Master Wu who's back."

"This is going to be sad!"

Feng Shao looked at him carefully and found that this was the old man of the Wu family.

He was a little plump, with a round face, a ruddy complexion, and looked very energetic. He had bright eyes, a goatee, and a straight back. He really looked like an old scholar.

As soon as he got out of the car, he looked up at the door of his house and was stunned.

"This...what's going on?" He quickly walked up the stairs and asked the yamen runners on both sides, "Officer, what happened in my family?"

The yamen runners recognized him. No matter what the other members of the Wu family did, Old Master Wu was still respected.

"Old Master, you... have you just returned from the academy?"

"That's right. I asked for leave from the academy and came back to see you. Sir, what happened to my family?"

The bailiff didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this time, two yamen runners were about to walk over here, but when they heard and saw him, they retreated through the moon gate and held the cloth bag in their hands tighter.

"What should I do now?"

"Take the side door."
