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

The chief manager's heart skipped a beat and he stood up suddenly.

"What happened?"

The servant's face turned pale, his lips were trembling, and his legs were too weak to climb up. He fell to the ground and trembled: "General Manager, you...go and have a look! Outside the door, outside the door..."

The chief steward kicked him, cursed in vain, and strode out.

Before they reached the door of the mansion, they saw several corpses hanging in front of the door under the light of lanterns, shaking slightly, and blood stains dripping all over the door.

The manager's feet also softened, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He had been domineering in Yongchang for many years in the County Lord's Mansion, and had more than a dozen lives on his hands, but he had never seen such a scene.

"Why are you still standing there? Get the body down quickly!"

The servants didn't dare to step forward, but after being scolded by him, they all had the courage to go over in groups and finally took down the body.

The chief steward held up a lantern and took a closer look. Isn't this... the person he sent out to rob and kill Mr. Jia?

how come!

His heart was beating wildly. He was just a businessman, but he was so bold and difficult to deal with!

What is the origin?

At the same time, the chief executive was secretly investigated and the yamen officer who was watching the county lord's mansion hurried back to report.

Magistrate Wu was happily talking to his master. Most of the depression they had felt for many years had been wiped away. They were both very happy and had a pot of wine.

While I was drinking happily, the yamen servant quickly came to report.

"Sir, something happened!"

Magistrate Wu almost choked with a sip of wine: "If something happens, can't you expect me to do something good? Sir, I'm just happy! What happened, tell me quickly!"

"Master, didn't you ask us to secretly investigate the chief executive? You also took the time to keep an eye on the county lord's mansion. Just now, many corpses were hung in front of the county lord's mansion."

"puff!"

Magistrate Wu spewed out: "Anyone killed?"

"Yes, sir, there are more than one!"

Magistrate Wu's vision went dark and he almost fainted. Master quickly helped him.

"What... what's going on?"

When the yamen officer explained the situation, Magistrate Wu wanted to die.

The yamen officer added: "Sir, we also found out that there is indeed something fishy about the chief manager!"

Magistrate Wu held his breath and almost cried: "I don't care if he has any tricks, I don't care how many lives I have..."

"Sir, if the chief executive falls, who will pursue the matter of human life? The bodies of those people are not hung elsewhere, but at the door of the county lord's mansion. What does this mean? This is a grudge against him and his own. What does it have to do with us?"

Magistrate Wu blinked, and the master quickly said: "He is right, we must bring down the chief executive now!"

"Now that we have Mr. Jia to help us, it's a good time."

Magistrate Wu gradually regained his composure: "Yes, yes, that's right, tell me quickly, what's the reason to catch him?"

The yamen servant came forward and whispered a few words.

Yan Ruyu was discussing with Huo Changhe whether to go to Xiuyun Pavilion. The secret guard came to report that it was Magistrate Wu who wanted to see him.

"Let him in."

Magistrate Wu came with the master. As soon as the master entered the room, his eyes fell on Xiaolan first, and he pouted, just to tease her.

Magistrate Wu glared at him quietly, then took back his pouted lips.

"Is there anything important for Magistrate Wu to come so late?" Huo Changhe asked.

In fact, he and Yan Ruyu knew each other well because they had heard about the county lord's mansion.

"I have something I want to discuss with the young master."

Huo Changhe chuckled: "Your Majesty, you are serious. I am a businessman and I am self-aware, but unlike some people, I can give orders to you as a commoner."

Magistrate Wu hurriedly said: "Young Master's words are serious. I am the one who seeks help from Young Master."

"Come and listen, sir."

The Master took a step forward and said, "Sir, you don't know yet, do you? There are several corpses hanging in front of the gate of the County Lord's Mansion. This is because the Chief Manager provoked his enemies and they came to take revenge."

Huo Changhe remained calm, waiting for him to continue.

The master and Magistrate Wu looked at each other and said to themselves that people who have seen the world are different. Look, how calm they are! I heard that they are not afraid of human life.

"Young Master has also seen the appearance of the chief executive. I am incompetent and have been bullied by him for many years. It is really an embarrassment to the court." Magistrate Wu sighed, "This time a life was lost, maybe he will take the opportunity to do something to me." Pressure.”

"I am not afraid of him making things difficult. In fact, if I am falsely accused by him and go to the county magistrate, the county magistrate may report to the court, and I will not be protected. If the county magistrate is changed again, it can only be the county magistrate himself. Man, when the time comes for the young master to open a shop here, it won’t be easy.”

Huo Changhe lowered his eyes and smiled, slowly drinking water: "What do you mean, sir, do you want me to join forces with you?"

Magistrate Wu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's what I mean. It's good for us all."

Huo Changhe said nothing, and Magistrate Wu was not sure what he meant. He turned his eyes to Yan Ruyu with a pleading look on his face.

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly: "Sir, what are you going to do? As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. In fact, there is no need for us to get into such trouble. If it is not easy to open here, then go elsewhere. We, the young master, have money, but we are afraid of not having it. Is the business done?”

Magistrate Wu looked embarrassed: "Yes, that's the truth. However, if the young master doesn't do it himself, that's fine. If someone else does it, it will damage the young master's reputation."

Yan Ruyu was amused in her heart and said to Huo Changhe, "Sir, what you say makes sense."

The master quickly said: "We have the handle of the chief manager. If you cooperate with us, you will have great control."

"Tell me about it," Huo Changhe said.

Magistrate Wu was overjoyed and said that there was hope.

He quickly told everything he had learned. Yan Ruyu listened and thought to herself.

After Magistrate Wu finished speaking, his mouth felt dry, so Yan Ruyu poured him a cup of tea.

"Is there any real evidence for what your Excellency says?"

"Yes, yes," Magistrate Wu took a big sip of tea, "My people made a copy of the account book, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

After he said that, the master handed over the account book.

Yan Ruyu glanced at it a few times: "The amount of silver is quite a lot, but that doesn't mean anything."

The master was mysterious: "The girl doesn't know something. The woman he spent a lot of money on is not an ordinary person. She is the daughter of a prison officer."

Yan Ruyu's thoughts moved slightly and she looked at Huo Changhe.

"The prisoner's daughter?"

"Exactly! I heard that this woman doesn't see many customers unless she spends a lot of money. It's a gold-selling den. No matter how rich he is, he can't afford it."

"So, he must have embezzled the money," Magistrate Wu gritted his teeth. "Just like the story the girl told before, he lost money and wanted to find someone else to take the blame. I think the so-called missing horse was also caused by him. Get the ghost!"

Yan Ruyu looked at the two of them, both of whom were focused on horses and money.

But Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe's thoughts were elsewhere.
