Song Ping shook his head.

"I don't believe in things like gods and ghosts. Most of the so-called gods and ghosts are just people pretending to be gods."

Song Ping smiled calmly: "This is what the princess said."

"Then who said it was done by an evil ghost?" Yan Ruyu asked with a smile.

"It was Old Master Wu. He said it himself. He was seeing his son off for the last time when he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck and fainted. When he woke up, he was already like this. He was in a daze, with red and swollen eyes, as if he had cried bitterly. It made people feel very sympathetic."

"Did he go to the government office with me?"

"No," Song Ping said, "He wanted to go, but he was too sad to walk and almost fainted, so he stayed in the mansion."

Yan Ruyu knew, of course, that the reason why Old Master Wu fainted was not because of a ghost, but because he was knocked unconscious by the golden dagger.

Jin Ting did not destroy Boss Wu's body, but only used ink to blacken the place where the map appeared.

Who cut the corpse into pieces and took out the internal organs?

Yan Ruyu couldn't be sure for a moment.

"Don't worry about him for now. Someone is watching the Wu Mansion," Yan Ruyu said to Song Ping, "You don't have to pay attention to him for now."

"Yes," Song Ping was about to leave, and then said, "There is one more thing. When I was leaving, Miss Linlang asked me to report to the princess that someone had sent a long box."

Yan Ruyu said: "That is for you, just go back and find Linlang to get it."

Song Ping was stunned: "For my subordinates?"

"Not just you, all of you have a share. You'll know when you go back and take a look."

"Yes." Song Ping didn't ask any more questions and left.

He quickly returned to the palace, found Linlang, and took the box back to his residence.

The five of them lived in a courtyard, with people living in the main house and the east and west wing rooms, and a small shed in front for sundries. Although the small courtyard was full, it was kept clean and tidy.

Their current duty is to protect the safety of the mansion. Song Ping and his colleagues are team leaders, each with a dozen people under them. Song Ping arranges the duty roster and they perform their duties faithfully according to the time responsibilities.

Song Ping carried the box back to the yard. There were two people on duty in the afternoon who were practicing martial arts in the yard. When they saw him coming back with the box, they hurried to meet him.

"Brother, what is this?"

Song Ping put the box on the small stone table and said, "I don't know. The princess gave it to us. She said it was for us. I haven't opened it yet."

The two of them became interested: "What is it? Open it and take a look."

"What the princess gave me must be good stuff. To be honest, I think the vegetables the princess gave me are better than those I get from other places."

"You only know how to eat..." Song Ping said as he opened the box and paused.

All three of them opened their eyes wide.

"Oh my goodness, this is..."

Inside were five knives and five daggers.

The shiny black blade, the snow-white edge, the chilling aura, the cold light flashing.

Song Ping took out a knife and flicked his finger, and the blade made a buzzing sound.

"Brother, this... Oh my God, this is a precious thing."

They all come from the martial arts world and have a deep-seated love for weapons, especially good weapons. They also have developed a good eye and can tell the good from the bad at a glance.

"This, is for us?" The two of them carefully picked up a handful each.

I can't put it down and I can't believe it.

"Look, there are words on it!"

Song Ping took a closer look and saw that indeed, the top of the handle was inlaid with their names in a clever way. Although the style was the same, it would not be confusing.

Those daggers are of the right size and weight. They feel great in the hand and can be inserted at the back of the waist or hidden in the sleeve.

The three of them were extremely delighted, and were happier than if they had won gold or silver.

The three of them gestured a few times, looked at each other and smiled, with countless emotions expressed without words.

After years of wandering in the martial arts world, he took a wrong step at the beginning and was ordered to kill the prince and princess. He was captured by the princess and brought her to surrender. In the beginning, he had no choice but to do so, but later, he was conquered by the prince and princess.

The people in the martial arts world least want to deal with the government, nor do they want to be restricted, but when they follow the prince and princess to Youcheng, they become guards of the palace, which is like a big dream.

When I wake up from the dream, I am glad that now is the best destination.

Just stay in the palace like this, do your job well, be loyal, and you will have no regrets in this life.

Yan Ruyu also left the spice shop and let Yinding drive the car slowly on the street, wondering if she could meet someone selling candied haws again and buy a few for the three little ones.

As he was walking forward, he came to an intersection and a horse-drawn carriage came out at a very fast speed. Yinding hurriedly stopped the carriage and frowned as he looked at the carriage rushing past.

Yan Ruyu looked outside, but before she could see clearly, Yinding whispered, "Princess, Beibei is here."

Yan Ruyu withdrew her gaze and saw Beibei coming from the intersection.

Beibei obviously didn't expect to meet them here. He smiled at the silver ingot and quickly reported to Yan Ruyu.

He walked to the carriage window and whispered, "Master, I was secretly watching the Wu Mansion. I just saw the carriage lingering near the Wu Mansion. When it left, I wanted to follow it and take a look."

"Can you see who it is?"

"My Lord, it's the woman from the Su family."

Beibei, Yinding and others had a very bad impression of the Su family and were unwilling to even call them "Mrs. Su".

Directly, "that woman from the Su family."

Yan Ruyu couldn't remember for a moment: "Who?"

"Master, have you forgotten? I borrowed herbs from Princess Mingzhao's house. The princess asked Linlang to borrow a musician from her house, but she not only refused to lend it, but also spoke arrogantly to the Su family."

Yan Ruyu remembered: "Her husband is the deputy governor, right?"

"Yes, that's her."

Yan Ruyu felt a little ashamed. She had taken a lot of things from the other person at the beginning, but she had forgotten about him in the blink of an eye.

"Why did she go to the Wu family?" Yan Ruyu wondered, "Could it be..."

Beibei blinked: "This little guy doesn't know yet, but she is a night owl who comes into the house without reason. Although she didn't go to the Wu family, it must be bad news."

"So, I followed her to see what she was up to."

"Okay," Yan Ruyu nodded. Anyway, the Wu Mansion had gold ingots and yamen runners, so nothing big would go wrong.

"Be careful. If this matter is related to her, you must not be careless. Feng Shao and Zhao Yan were keeping watch last night. They did not sleep all night. Go check it out first. Tomorrow you can discuss it with the others and see if you can find out what happened to the Su family."

"Yes, I obey."

Beibei took the order and left, and Yan Ruyu asked Yinding to continue moving forward.

Not long after walking, I saw someone selling candied haws and quickly called out to him.

The class was just over and Yan Ruyu came to visit with some things in her hand. The three little ones were not in the same class, but they all came after hearing the news and surrounded her.

They rushed to report their academic progress.

Huo Changheng was naturally excellent, and Huo Qinxiang was intelligent, and her handwriting was better than before, which made Yan Ruyu happy. What surprised her even more was Rui Ge'er.

He used to talk little and his words were incoherent, but this time when we met, he not only talked more, but also spoke more fluently. He could recite articles and his handwriting was quite nice.

Yan Ruyu praised them generously and gave them rewards.

Just as I was about to thank the gentleman, my eyes glanced towards the corridor and saw the gentleman's child leading someone towards his study.

That is……
