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

There were more people on the second floor of the brothel. A small number of people gathered outside the box where the incident happened, while the others were in their original rooms, opening the doors and windows and craning their necks to look over here.

The madam stood at the door of the box where the incident happened, her fat body blocking half of the door, obviously trying to prevent the people inside from escaping.

Cui Chong walked in front and Yan Ruyu followed behind and went up to the second floor.

Yan Ruyu lowered her eyes slightly, and walked up step by step, looking at the expressions of the people downstairs.

Most of them were just there to watch the fun and didn't notice anything special at first.

Before I even reached the second floor, the madam's voice floated over.

"Hey, Master Cui, what brings you here?"

Cui Chong said coldly: "You have a murder case, shouldn't I come to see it?"

"Yes, yes, I look forward to your coming every day."

The madam came up and her face fell again: "Master Cui, you have to make the decision for me. I lost an otaku, who was chosen not long ago. This is really a big loss."

"You know how difficult it is to train an oiran..."

Cui Chong raised his hand to interrupt: "I don't know. Let me ask you, why didn't you report it to the police first?"

The madam laughed awkwardly: "This... I am a coward. I forget everything when I panic. I was almost scared to death when someone died. I don't think I could see such a scene."

"Besides, you have great powers. You already know this without reporting it to the police, right?"

Cui Chong sneered: "Why, am I the one who is meddling in other people's affairs?"

While they were talking, Yan Ruyu walked towards the box. Before she entered, she saw a female corpse lying on the ground. Her clothes were thin but neatly dressed.

At first glance, there were no obvious external injuries.

He withdrew his gaze and looked elsewhere. A man in his fifties was sitting not far away. He was wearing a white brocade robe, with graying hair on his temples. His hair was combed neatly backwards and fastened in a white jade crown.

Looks like a human being.

On the other side is Huo Changxu.

After moving, the house became bigger and had more yards. Yan Ruyu and Huo Changxu rarely saw each other except for a few times they met at the eldest lady's house.

He was wearing a sky blue brocade robe today, looking handsome and elegant. Yan Ruyu had always felt that Huo Changhe looked more like the eldest lady in terms of appearance.

However, Huo Changxu, who was usually full of vigor and vitality, now clenched his fists and was full of vigilance.

Noticing Yan Ruyu's gaze, he immediately looked over.

Before the two of them had time to make eye contact, the madam noticed Yan Ruyu and hurried over to stop her.

"What do you do? Why are you walking around?"

Yan Ruyu retracted her gaze and asked slowly, "What's wrong? With the official here, you spoke louder and dared to question the guest?"

Usually, people like madams are very snobbish. No one is better at judging people by their appearance and treating them differently than them.

Seeing that she was still as energetic and not panicked at all, the madam felt a little suspicious. She looked at her carefully and felt that she looked unfamiliar.

When Yan Ruyu opened her mouth, she did not deliberately change her voice too much, but just lowered it a little, and Huo Changxu heard it immediately.

His eyes lit up and he stared at her intently. When he saw Yan Ruyu nod slightly, Huo Changxu felt a lump in his throat.

Yan Ruyu walked into the house, and the madam hurriedly followed: "Hey, I say, this guest..."

Yan Ruyu ignored her and Cui Chong followed her in.

"Close the door." Yan Ruyu shouted in a low voice.

Cui Chong obediently closed the door.

The madam was startled: "You, who are you? Why are you closing the door? This is the crime scene, and my courtesan is still here..."

"Noisy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Chong pulled out a dagger and put it against the madam's neck: "Do you want to shut up yourself, or should I do it?"

The madam was frightened and forced a smile: "Master Cui, what are you doing..."

Cui Chong hated her trying to get close to him the most, especially in front of Yan Ruyu, making it seem like he came here often.

God is my witness, he has been here twice for routine security checks and once when there was a fight, but he has never been here at other times.

Therefore, he showed no mercy to the madam. He pressed the blade of the knife downward and immediately cut a bloody mark on the madam's neck.

The madam was so frightened that she stuffed her handkerchief into her mouth with trembling hands.

Yan Ruyu ignored them and said to Huo Changxu, "Don't panic, talk slowly."

Huo Changxu was really panicked for a while.

They had been exiled all the way and had experienced everything, including death. The number of members of the Huo family who had followed them was reduced by more than half.

But he has never killed anyone.

He has always been aware that he has been very well protected by his elder brother and sister-in-law, and he wants to give back. If he has no martial arts skills, he will focus on his career, work hard to make money, and study.

That was why he wanted to get to know the famous scholar, and when the scholar asked him to drink, he did not refuse.

When they arrived at the door of the brothel and asked for wine, he wanted to leave, but the great scholar said that if he came along, he could lend him the ancient family books for printing.

Only then did he agree.

But who could have thought that something like this would happen.

This is the first time that someone has taken a life.

Huo Changxu felt hot and aggrieved, but also felt that he was hateful and didn't want to defend himself.

He took a deep breath, sniffed and said, "I wanted to get to know Mr. Lu and read some ancient books, so I came with him. I wanted to drink and leave, but this woman came and insisted on... sticking to me, so I pushed her away."

"Pushed it?" Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly, "How did you push it?"

Huo Changxu gestured: "Just push like this."

"She took a few steps back and didn't fall, but she tripped and fell, and then she didn't get up."

After listening to what Huo Changxu said, Yan Ruyu leaned over to look at the corpse.

He was indeed dead, with no external injuries, not even a broken skin.

But... Yan Ruyu looked closely at her facial features. There was no blood at the corners of her mouth or nose, but there seemed to be a little blood in her ears.

I wiped it lightly with a cotton swab and it was stained red.

Sure enough there was blood.

Huo Changxu's face turned pale.

This……

Lu Daru, who was standing by, quickly stood up and said, "This is none of my business. I didn't do anything, and I didn't push."

Huo Changxu turned to look at him with an indignant expression, but did not refute in the end.

Yan Ruyu put away the cotton swab and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Huo Changxu pursed his lips and said, "He didn't do anything, but he was the one who called the person in."

Lu Daru quickly retorted: "Hey, it's true that I called her in, but I didn't touch her. You were the one who beat her to death, so don't blame me."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the great scholar with a sharp light that seemed to be real. The great scholar Lu's breath was held and he dared not speak any more.

"The world has really changed now. What kind of dog-headed and faceless people can write a few sour articles and make up a few crappy poems and think they can be called great scholars."

Lu Daru's face flushed: "You...you...what do you mean?"

"I was scolding you, but you didn't understand," Yan Ruyu said mercilessly, "If you can't understand such straightforward words, how can you understand the article?"

Lu Daru was so angry that he was shaking: "You are really...disgraceful."

"Sven? Are you worthy?"
