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

Yan Ruyu was also thinking about the Wu family. If they had just been wiped out, she wouldn't have been thinking about it all the time. But later on, they found that kind of knife, which made her think deeply about it.

Although this slanderous method is too crude and crude, it is enough to prove that someone has this intention.

Of course, Governor Cao would not believe it, but what about the others? What about the Wu family?

Once the news spreads, over time, coupled with the instigation of people with ulterior motives, those who do not believe will slowly turn into doubters. At least the Wu family does not need to be instigated. They are eager to find the murderer, like a blind fly banging its head. They don't care whether it is true or false. Once there is a way out, they will immediately stick to it.

Yan Ruyu thought that the matter of the Wu family had to be investigated from the root. Who did they offend that they had to take revenge in this way? Moreover, the Wang Mansion and the Wu family had nothing to do with each other. It was only because Madam Wu wanted to stand up for the Princess of Yongchang that she started to provoke the Wang Mansion.

Because of the provocation, a small punishment was given, which then led to conflicts, giving the murderer an excuse to put the blame on the palace.

Yan Ruyu was writing and drawing on the paper when her pen suddenly stopped. Why did Mrs. Wu suddenly want to provoke the palace when she was fine? Was it because someone wanted to frame the palace by taking advantage of the small conflict between the Wu family and the palace, or was it because they wanted to frame the palace first and deliberately pushed the Wu family out?

Is the Wu family being used as a gun by others?

If this is the case, I wonder if the old lady of the Wu family knew about it before she died, and whether she would feel wronged.

Yan Ruyu recalled the look in the old lady's eyes before she died, which was more of disbelief than fear.

Unbelievable…what did she see?

Acquaintance, Yan Ruyu wrote these two words on the paper.

Just as I was thinking about it, Linlang came to report that Beibei was back.

As the two of them arrived at the corridor and bowed, Bei Bei smiled and said, "Master, the matter has been settled. Those who have committed crimes have been sent to the labor camp by the governor's order. They will leave this afternoon."

"He is innocent, has been given medicine, and has been released back to the Wu residence."

"Brother Song Ping is ready. Anyone who has killed someone will be dealt with on the way. Anyone who doesn't have any will go directly to the farm to work."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay, did the governor say anything?"

"No, Governor Cao is also very happy. It is troublesome to keep the Wu family in prison. Now the innocent are released and the guilty are punished. It is also in accordance with the law. No matter who checks the files or something, they can't find any fault."

This is what Yan Ruyu was thinking about. When the servants of the Wu family caused trouble in the bookstore, they were locked up by the yamen runners. It was meant to be a lesson for the Wu family and they were going to be released after a few days. But now that something like this has happened, it would be a trouble if the old man of the Wu family caught them and didn't let them go.

Just solve it all at once, sign and seal the deal, and send the innocent ones home, of course not without conditions, the guilty ones will be sentenced to hard labor in labor camps.

Of course, they were not really allowed to go. On the way, they were "kidnapped" by Song Ping and taken to the farm to work.

In extraordinary times, Yan Ruyu will not let anything or anyone get out of control.

"Master, do you have any other instructions?"

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Call Feng Shao, and the two of you go to the vicinity of Wu's house and watch to see if anyone, other than the people from the government office, has been near Wu's house."

“Anyone who has something wrong with them, counts.”

"Yes." Without saying a word, Beibei turned around and went to find the bee whistle.

It was almost evening when Huo Changhe returned with the silver ingots. Judging from their expressions, Yan Ruyu guessed that they had gained nothing.

Huo Changhe was standing by the fire, chasing away the cold air, with white steam coming out when he spoke.

"The silver ingot and I went our separate ways. We searched both the east and west sides, but no blacksmith shop had ever made a knife like this."

Yinding drank a sip of hot tea in the outer room and felt warm all over: "Your Majesty, I think, are they like us, with their own people fighting for weapons? Otherwise, they didn't fight from Youcheng."

Huo Changhe nodded: "That is to say, check the city. If it is not a blacksmith shop, there are only two possibilities left. Either they can make it themselves, like our secret guards, or they came from outside and brought it in."

That kind of knife is special, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. Huo Changhe went to ask in person and got a general idea of ​​all the blacksmith shops in Youcheng.

Yan Ruyu had expected this result. If she could be found out easily, the murderer's accusation would soon be disproven.

After the silver ingot was returned, Yan Ruyu told Huo Changhe about her guess, and Huo Changhe was more inclined to the latter.

He pointed his finger at the word "acquaintance": "I also think that someone wants to frame us and deliberately let the Wu family go against us. The old lady of the Wu family is a brainless person who is easily provoked. There are benefits to be gained, so she was quickly fooled."

"But she didn't expect that we were not easy to deal with. Not only did we not let her succeed, but we embarrassed her everywhere. When she had been tortured enough and could no longer resist, that would be the time for her to die."

Yan Ruyu emphasized the circle above "acquaintances": "They are coming for us. They must be acquaintances of the Wu family, and they must know us. There is also the suspicion of framing us. There are not many such people."

Huo Changhe took her pen and said, "I have sent people to investigate. There will be results soon. Don't worry about these things. This frame-up is nothing. It can't touch us."

Yan Ruyu also knew this, but this matter was like a fly. Although it was not fatal, it was annoying enough. The key point was that no one knew who released this fly and whether there would be more in the future.

After finishing his meal at the eldest lady's house in the evening, he was walking towards the yard when Song Ping came to report that the matter had been settled. In addition, on his way back, he met a man who wanted to pay a visit.

The man was brought to Huo Changhe's study. He was wearing casual clothes, but his military temperament could not be concealed. Yan Ruyu had some impression of him. He was a deputy general beside Li Mingcheng. She had seen him when he was dealing with the "epidemic" in the army. He was a smart man and quite capable.

He stepped forward to greet them, and got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, Princess, I am a general of the city defense army that Li Chengshi left outside the city. Previously, I was entrusted by your Majesty to keep an eye on the procession from Dacheng to escort the bride. This evening, a caravan did arrive."

Huo Changhe asked: "How many people are there?"

"There were twelve people in the group and three carts," the deputy general replied. "The cargo on the carts was gems, tea leaves, and furs. However, I was unable to see their specific quality."

This is understandable. The city guards outside the city are still some distance away from Dacheng's wedding procession, and it is impossible for them to be close to them all the time. It is their own caravan going to see their own people, which is not against the law or regulations, and the city guards here cannot go up and search.

However, these are not important. Their things, including the silver ingots, have been obtained as samples, and Yan Ruyu knows what they are escorting.

Huo Changhe said, "Don't worry about that. You have already helped me. Deputy General Li, if they make any unusual movements, just observe them secretly and send the news. As long as it does not endanger the safety of the people in the city, you don't have to pay attention to it."

"Tang Yibai is no ordinary person. If he makes any unusual moves, he must have some ulterior motive. We should remain still in the face of all changes. If we really move, we will be led by him by the nose, which will be troublesome."

Lieutenant General Li said solemnly: "Yes, I will keep it in mind."
