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

Yan Ruyu asked Lu Daru to move closer to the door and hide behind the crowd to observe carefully.

Lu Daru muttered quietly: "I think... the old woman next to this beautiful lady..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the maid next to Cheng Fengyao speak.

"Sir, our young lady is a decent girl, of course she would not come to such a place, but today I was shopping for her and passed by here and saw something."

Cui Chong asked, "Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it."

"This young man was deceived by an old man. The old man said that if he invited the old man to drink wine, he would give him some ancient books passed down from his family. The young man loves books so much that he came here."

"In my opinion, it was clearly a trap set by the old man and the prostitute to harm this young man, but unexpectedly, the trick went too far and the prostitute died."

Lu Daru heard it clearly, his eyes widened: "She actually lied with her eyes open."

At this moment, the old woman looked inside, saw Lu Daru, and pointed: "That's him."

Lu Daru: "..."

Fuck me.

Yan Ruyu smiled and pushed Lu Daru.

Lu Daru staggered and ran over here, almost falling down.

"..." I'm really convinced.

The old woman pointed more directly: "Sir, it's him."

Cheng Fengyao said to "Huo Changxu": "Sir, don't be nervous. Don't worry, I will testify for you together with this old slave."

She also hoped that "Huo Changxu" would thank her, or at least give her a concerned and grateful look or something.

But nothing.

Cheng Fengyao was a little unwilling, but she did not give up. She said to Cui Chong, "Sir, I can pay any bail money for this young master."

As soon as he finished speaking, Beibei came out from the crowd, this time wearing a hat and dressed like a butler.

"Come on, make way, make way!"

Beibei was holding a bag of silver, which was full of silver, at least two hundred taels.

"Cui Tou'er, come here, I'm here to bail out my son."

Cui Chong was hesitating whether to take the money, as Yan Ruyu had not explained this key point.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin showing up, Cheng Fengyao was a little unhappy: "It seems like I was here first."

Beibei turned to look at her: "Hey? Miss, you are really interesting. I came to bail out my son. What does it have to do with you? What do you mean you came first? What if you came first? What happened later? Could it be that my son will follow you after he is released on bail?"

Cheng Fengyao indeed thought so.

Without contact and without favors, how can we meet alone? Without meeting alone, how can we fall in love and spend our lives together?

But I couldn't speak frankly in front of so many people.

The old woman took over the conversation: "What you said is true. My young lady helped you out of a sense of justice, testified, paid money, and helped you catch the person who framed your young master. Isn't it worth your thanks?"

Lu Daru was pointed at by her and his temper gradually rose.

"I say, you old woman, what are you pointing at? I am a learned scholar after all, how can a vulgar and unreasonable old slave like you point at me?"

"Besides, humph, don't think I can't see it," Lu Daru said to Cui Chong, "Sir, it was her. She gave me the money and ordered me to bring this young man here."

Cui Chong immediately looked at the old woman with a sharp gaze.

The old woman was visibly panicked: "You are talking nonsense. I don't know about the money or the instructions. Don't talk nonsense. You did something wrong and you slandered me. You are really shameless. You are a scholar. Bah."

Seeing the two of them cursing at each other, Cui Chong sneered, "Since you can't explain it clearly and are accusing each other, take them back and interrogate them properly."

"Come here, take them away."

The old woman became even more panicked. With just a few words, she implicated herself and quickly turned around to look at Cheng Fengyao.

Cheng Fengyao was also confused. Things did not develop in the direction she expected.

"Sir, you..."

Zhao Yan ignored him and followed Cui Chong.

Cheng Fengyao was at a loss for a moment. She wanted to keep up, but she didn't want to go to the yamen. She wanted to leave, but the old woman had been taken away, and this matter would be exposed sooner or later.

The family is in a precarious situation right now. If my father and brother knew...

Just as he was hesitating, Yan Ruyu came out.

"Miss Cheng, my brother has to go to the government office to make a statement and tell you the whole story. Since you trust him, why don't you go with him?"

Cheng Fengyao was upset and confused, but after hearing what she said, she subconsciously obeyed.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the bailiffs behind had already carried the corpse down.

Cheng Fengyao didn't dare to look at the corpse, so she lowered her head and followed.

Yan Ruyu looked at her back, followed her for a few steps, and turned back to the carriage.

Huo Changhe asked: "How?"

Yan Ruyu said: "Send Changxu back first, I have to go to the government office."

Huo Changhe said: "I'll accompany you."

……

Cui Chong brought his men back to the yamen. Governor Cui had already received the news and was feeling uneasy. Upon hearing that the men had been brought back, he did not go to the court immediately but asked Cui Chong to come to the study to report first.

Cui Chong told the story and Governor Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that it was not Huo Changxu's fault.

God has mercy on him. He was really scared. What if the second son of the Huo family really killed someone? Then...

Fortunately, it is not.

God didn't give him this kind of test.

Upon learning that Yan Ruyu was behind this, Governor Cao felt more at ease.

After a brief thought, he asked Cui Chong to go down and prepare to go to court.

This matter involved human lives, and many people saw it, so there were quite a few people who wanted to watch the fun, and many of them followed along the way.

"Someone, come to the court, light the torches!"

At the command, braziers and torches were lit in the hall to illuminate the night.

The people watching the trial from outside could also see it clearly.

Cao Cishi came to the court and slammed the gavel.

"How dare you," he pointed at Lu Daru, "You are a scholar of high caliber, and you are old, but instead of studying hard and setting an example for young people, you set a trap for others and lure them to a brothel to drink and have fun. Do you know your crime?"

Mr. Lu has lived for more than fifty years, but this is his first time to attend a class.

He knelt down quickly and said, "Sir, I know I am guilty, but I really didn't know that this would lead to someone's death. Please understand my lord."

He pointed at the old woman and said, "It was her. She ordered me to do this and gave me thirty taels of silver."

Governor Cao looked at the old woman and asked, "Are you serious?"

How could the old woman admit it? She immediately cried out that she was innocent.

"Sir, although I am not educated, I know etiquette. I usually go out only to buy needles and thread for my young lady. How could I have any contact with someone like him?"

"He must have known that he was guilty and that's why he deliberately dragged me into this. My Lord, you have to make the decision for me and not let him off easily."

After walking along this path, the old woman's panicked heart gradually calmed down. That day, she was wearing a veil and her face was not exposed at all.

No matter what this man said, she just refused to admit it and waited to see what he would do.

Governor Cao asked, "You said she ordered you to do this. Do you have any evidence?"

The old woman interrupted and said, "Sir, if he has no evidence, it's slander!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Daru thought anxiously: "Sir, I have it!"
