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

When Governor Cao heard what Old Master Wu said about "being kind to others", he couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.

Holding back his last bit of patience, he said, "Old Master, the case has already happened. Please accept my condolences. After I discovered it last night, I have made arrangements to investigate the matter from today. Once I have a result, I will give you an explanation."

Old Master Wu wiped away his tears and said, "Confess? What's the point of me confessing? Do you think they can survive?"

Governor Cao's patience was exhausted. He took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to ask me whether they can survive or not. I don't know. It is my duty to investigate the case thoroughly."

"As for why the Wu family suffered such a disaster, Old Master Wu might as well calm down his grief and think carefully about whether he has any grudges against others. After all, if there is no deep hatred, he would not do such a thing as annihilating the whole family."

"Furthermore, your third son's head is missing, which is different from the bodies of others. I suspect that this matter may be related to him."

Old Master Wu was about to faint again. Governor Cao gave the doctor a wink, and the doctor gave Old Master Wu a needle on the painful point, and the pain made him sober up a little.

"Also, before your third son got into trouble, the Wu family was trying to raise money and sold a lot of their property. Did you know about this?"

Old Master Wu was surprised and asked, "Selling off the property? Why? Although my family is not a wealthy one, my eldest son and third son both work to earn money, so why would they need to..."

Governor Cao raised his hand to interrupt him: "This is the truth, Old Master Wu. You don't go home often, so you may not know much about family affairs. I will not lie to you. Two days ago, your third son was both the plaintiff and the defendant. If you don't believe me, I can make an exception and let you see the interrogation records."

"In addition," Governor Cao was reluctant to tell him, but seeing him like this, he had to give him a strong dose of medicine, "Do you know that the emperor has issued an order to execute the mother and son of the Princess of Yongchang County?"

Old Master Wu was still in shock over his son's situation. Hearing this, he was half confused and half angry: "I've never heard of it. Yongchang is so far away from here. What does her matter have to do with me?"

"Why? Then you should ask your wife. Your wife humiliated the mother and princess of Zhennan Prince to vent her anger for Princess Yongchang. If it weren't for the generosity of your wife and princess, I'm afraid your wife would have to go to jail as well."

Old Master Wu was surprised: "What? She... This is impossible!"

"I will not lie to you, Old Master Wu. You are respected, and I am willing to show you some respect. But you are not an official, just a commoner. Don't take my respect for granted."

"If you don't believe it, you can go around and listen to what the people in the city say about your Wu family."

"Be kind to others. If you really were kind to others, would you end up like this?" Governor Cao stood up. "By the way, I'm afraid you still have to go to the granary. That's where your third son works and earns money."

"He stole military rations and sold them, then used the money to gamble. He was caught and beaten with a stick, and was carried back, and was ordered to pay back the money within a specified time."

"Old Master, your third son is dead, but this matter is not over yet. While you are grieving, you also have to think about what happened."

Old Master Wu fainted again all of a sudden.

This time, Governor Cao did not let the doctor give him an injection. Instead, he waved his hand and asked the doctor to take Old Master Wu away.

Governor Cao thought to himself, "What kind of person is this? There is no good person in his family. He didn't teach me well, but he didn't reflect on himself. Instead, he kept asking questions to me. It's really incomprehensible."

Governor Cao instructed his men to keep a close eye on Old Master Wu and not to go to see the old man unless there was something special.

I'm so annoying.

Going back quickly to catch up on some sleep, Governor Cao stretched his stiff back - after all, he was no longer a young man, and he felt very uncomfortable after staying up all night.

As soon as Governor Cao got on the carriage, he asked the driver to stop. After thinking it over, he decided to go to the palace.

Just when he was about to turn around, he thought it was not a good idea, so he called Cui Chong over and whispered something to him.

Yan Ruyu was in the mansion, and Huo Changhe went to investigate the origin of the knife. She was just sorting out what had happened in the past few days when Linlang came in to report.

"Master, Cui Chong is here."

Cui Chong must have come here on the orders of Governor Cao. There must be something going on. Yan Ruyu put down her pen and said, "Let him in."

When they arrived at the outer room, Cui Chong was standing in the corridor and did not come in. He told them everything that Governor Cao had just told him.

"Princess, this is what the Lord and Old Master Wu said. This person has some reputation. If he believes that there is injustice, he may do something. You see..."

Yan Ruyu understood what Governor Cao meant. After all, the whole family was killed. If Old Master Wu was really sensible and could look for the reasons in his own family, then it would not be a big deal. But if he was confused and stubborn and insisted that it was related to the palace, it would be a troublesome matter if he made a fuss.

The murderer might have dropped the murder weapon with this in mind. This is a turbulent time and Tang Yibai is still in the city. He should make more preparations to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

"Okay, thank you very much, Captain Cui. Please thank the governor on my behalf."

"You are welcome, Princess." Cui Chong bowed, "Then I will take my leave."

Cui Chong left. Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and told Linlang, "Linlang, call Beibei over."

"Yes."

Yinding followed Huo Changhe out, and the others stayed in the abbot's yard. When they had nothing to do, they followed the abbot, listened to his stories and anecdotes, and ate some fresh vegetables and fruits.

Although there are no red fruits in Fangzhang, there are other vegetables and fruits. There is a kind called cucumber, which is very refreshing, and there is also a kind of melon with yellow flesh, sweet and juicy.

Every time they came, the abbot entertained them warmly. Those juicy and sweet things that would cost who knows how expensive they are outside were never limited in quantity and they could have as much as they wanted to eat.

The tea is also very delicious. I even feel that I feel better both mentally and physically after drinking it.

Beibei was listening with great interest when Linlang suddenly came to him, quickly grabbed the fruit plate and took away the remaining pieces of melon.

"Linlang, what's the matter?"

As he spoke, he pushed the melon plate towards Linlang: "Eat it quickly, it's so sweet."

Linlang didn't hesitate to pick up a piece from the plate and took a bite.

"The master is looking for you, it must be something important."

"Okay, let's go."

Beibei trotted all the way to Yan Ruyu's yard and greeted her first.

Yan Ruyu said: "Beibei, there is something I need you to do."

"Master, if you have anything to say, just give me your orders."

Yan Ruyu handed him a note and whispered a few words to him.

Beibei listened carefully, with a smile on her face from time to time.

"Okay, I understand. I'll do it right away."

"And one more thing," Yan Ruyu handed him a bottle and whispered a few more instructions.

Beibei held the bottle tightly and blinked, "Okay, I will definitely get it done."

"but……"

"Don't worry about the rest, just use it."

"Yes."

Bei Bei didn't ask any more questions. He put his things in his pocket, went back to his yard to change his clothes, then went out from the backyard and headed straight for the governor's mansion.

Linlang and the eldest boss divided the melon, and then heard Yan Ruyu order: "Linlang, call Song Ping."
