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

Yan Ruyu had breakfast in the eldest lady's courtyard early in the morning. The affairs of the Wu family could not be hidden, so Yan Ruyu told the eldest lady after the meal.

The eldest lady was also shocked: "Destroy the whole family? This..."

Although the eldest lady didn't like the Wu family, she didn't intend to kill them all.

"Any clues? Who did it?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "Not yet. Governor Cao has already ordered a strict investigation. Mother, I just don't want you to hear the rumors outside, so I reported this to you. Don't think too much about it, and don't have to feel any psychological burden."

"This matter has nothing to do with our family."

The eldest lady held her back and said, "Okay, I know. Don't worry about me. At my age, I have experienced so many things. How could I take a little rumor to heart?"

"What can others say? At most, they will doubt our family. After all, we just had some unpleasantness, but his Wu family has not only had unpleasantness with us."

"Don't worry, I'm open-minded and won't get angry or sad easily."

What Yan Ruyu was afraid of was that if there were any unfavorable rumors, the eldest lady would be angry and sad. Now, after hearing what she said, she felt that she was worrying too much.

"That's good. Mother is fine, and the prince and I can rest assured."

The eldest lady smiled and said, "We have been through everything. I am not afraid of the rumors spread by Princess Yongchang herself, so why would I be afraid of the Wu family? It can't be done when she is alive, let alone dead. Don't worry."

Yan Ruyu was completely relieved and talked to the first lady about the snack shop.

As they were talking happily, Huo Changhe came in from outside and said he came to pay his respects to the eldest lady.

But Yan Ruyu could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him.

After listening to the eldest lady's lecture, the two found an excuse to leave.

As soon as they left the yard, Yan Ruyu asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Huo Changhe said quickly and in a low voice: "Two things. The old man of the Wu family is back. Also, two yamen runners came from the back door and asked me to look at something."

Yan Ruyu was not surprised to see Old Master Wu return home, but she was a little surprised to see two yamen runners coming in through the back door.

She nodded and asked as she walked, "What is it?"

"It's a few knives."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "The murder weapon?"

"It should be. There are blood stains on it."

Yan Ruyu did not think much about it. It was normal to ask them to take a look at the murder weapon after they found it. Perhaps it was Governor Cao's idea to ask them to help think about it when they found something suspicious.

When I arrived at a secluded courtyard, I saw two yamen runners. They looked a little uneasy. There were two cloth bags on the ground, with several knives in them.

Yan Ruyu picked up one and took a look. The knife was slightly narrow, straight, and short, and the blade was extremely sharp.

Linlang used a knife, Song Ping and his brothers used knives, Quan Dao also used a knife, and Huo Changhe used it occasionally.

Yan Ruyu herself also uses two swords.

Their swords were not all the same, because they were not officials, and they found the one that suited their hands according to their preferences and strength.

The yamen runners used unified regulations, including Xiang Guang and his men, as well as the city guards outside the city.

Yan Ruyu observed and thought, then picked up another handful - both were the same.

I looked down at the bag and saw that everything was the same.

She couldn't help but ask, "All the same?"

The two yamen runners pursed their lips and said nothing. Only then did Yan Ruyu realize that they looked a little unnatural.

"how?"

Huo Changhe took over the conversation and said, "Yu'er, when we were in Shencheng, my subordinates had a forced marching army. They were responsible for missions such as vanguard, ambush, and raid. Because of the special military duties, their equipment was also special."

"The horse is a Hu horse, which is a kind of horse with strong physical strength but slightly smaller body. The armor is a specially made thin armor, and the sword," Huo Changhe paused, "is this kind of sword."

"It's narrow and short, but sharp, easy to carry, and it can cut a throat in one stroke. It will never fail due to a poor weapon."

After hearing this, Yan Ruyu finally understood why Huo Changhe had looked so serious just now and why the two yamen runners looked a little strange.

Why did the bailiffs sneak in through the back door? It was not because Governor Cao ordered them to help, but because the knives pointed to the murderer as someone from the palace.

Yan Ruyu laughed angrily: "So this is what you were planning."

The yamen runner said quickly: "Your Majesty, Princess, I have no other intentions, and I firmly believe that this matter has nothing to do with the palace. However, if this thing is discovered by the Wu family, it will always be... So, I sent it here first."

"I'm sure the murderer wouldn't just leave these behind for no reason. There will probably be follow-up actions, so please be prepared, Your Majesty and Princess."

The bailiff bowed with a sincere attitude.

My God, they really didn't mean to doubt the palace, they just wanted to nip the trouble in the bud.

Yan Ruyu put down the knife and said to the two of them, "Thank you for your help. It is true that although the palace is not afraid of rumors and speculations, it is different from not getting into trouble at all to be able to solve it when it comes."

The yamen runner breathed a sigh of relief: "What the princess said is absolutely right."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Then I'll trouble you. Please report this to Governor Cao when you return so that he will know what's going on. I will come to thank you later."

"I will convey your message truthfully. Now I am leaving."

The two left quietly.

Yan Ruyu's face darkened slightly: "This is an attempt to frame us, but this is too clumsy."

"It's clumsy, but it should be useful," Huo Changhe was much calmer now, "You forgot, I just said that the old man of the Wu family has returned home. If he finds out first, he won't think that this is just a misunderstanding, but someone wants to frame us."

Yan Ruyu frowned: "He came back too quickly."

"Indeed," Huo Changhe said, "there was a murder last night, and he arrived early this morning."

"According to the distance, we should be heading back before daybreak."

"So was his return a coincidence, or did someone tip him off?"

"You'll have to ask him himself."

Inside Wu Mansion.

Old Master Wu has fainted three times.

When he returned home, a bailiff had already gone to report to Governor Cao.

Governor Cao had just taken a nap when someone came to call him. He was about to let off some steam when he heard that it was Old Master Wu who had returned, so he quickly pulled himself together and changed his clothes.

He thought of words of comfort in the carriage and brought a doctor with him.

No matter what, Old Master Wu was a celebrity, and a tragedy happened. As a senior official, he had to express his opinion.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard that Old Master Wu had fainted, so I quickly called a doctor for help.

I woke up and felt dizzy again, and then woke up again after feeling dizzy.

When he woke up for the third time, Governor Liu quickly grabbed him and said, "Old Master, please cheer up. Trust me and I will find out the truth."

Old Master Wu was dying: "Find out... the truth? Then... can they still survive?"

Governor Cao choked.

"Our Wu family... has always been kind to others and has never... done anything evil. Why did we suddenly encounter such a disaster?"

Old Master Wu burst into tears: "This is killing me!"
