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

Huo Changhe didn't want Yan Ruyu to work too hard, so he took her back to her residence and forced her to sleep.

Yan Ruyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had nothing to do in the morning anyway, so she just listened to him and got some sleep.

Huo Changhe saw her sleeping and heard a slight noise outside, so he walked out of the house lightly.

A carrier pigeon flew over and landed on his arm.

He took off the mailbox and looked at the note, his eyes dimmed - it was a letter from Jin Collar, the words were short but poignant, but there was still no news about Young Master Wen.

I don’t know whether Mr. Wen is dead or alive now.

Huo Changhe destroyed the note and sighed slightly. As long as there was no news of his death, he would have to keep searching and clear his grievances, not only for himself, but also for the Wen family who died and General Wen who was implicated by him.

I was standing in the corridor, feeling uncomfortable, when the secret guard walked in, his expression not very good.

"What happened?"

"Back to your lord, the three gangsters have been found," the secret guard paused, "But they are corpses."

Huo Changhe frowned: "What?"

"Three of them were killed. One of them was pierced through the heart with a sword, and two of them cut their throats with a sword. They were clean and clean. There were no other injuries. Their knives were still on their bodies."

The sword was still on his body, which meant that he was killed before he even had time to draw the sword, and he didn't even have the strength to parry.

It is easy to pierce the heart with a sword, but not easy to cut the throat with a sword. It can be seen that it was done by a master.

As soon as he asked the secret guards to investigate, all three people there died. Is it a coincidence?

"Your Majesty, my subordinates also found out that there is indeed a water village outside Lincheng, and there are bandits in it, but the people don't call them bandits, but call them righteous men."

Huo Changhe's face darkened: "A righteous man?"

"Exactly, they don't bother the people. They have paddy fields, fishing boats, and can make wine. The distance from Lincheng to the largest northern river is less than a hundred miles. They rely on water for their livelihood."

"However, my subordinates thought that they would also rob the merchants or some corrupt officials who were passing by."

Huo Changhe was not surprised. There were very few gangsters who could not disturb ordinary people. If they did not do anything to rob roads, then they were not called bandits.

"Do you suspect that they are involved in this matter?"

The secret guard thought for a while and said, "Other than that, I don't know who else has such ability. It is said that there are three big village masters in the village, all of whom are very good at martial arts, especially the second village master, who has outstanding swordsmanship."

Huo Changhe lightly twisted his sleeves and was speechless for a moment.

The secret guard asked: "Your Majesty, the other secret guards will arrive in Lincheng around noon today. Do you want to let them explore the truth?"

"No," Huo Changhe waved his hand, "Don't alert the enemy first, wait until the king and the princess have discussed it."

"Yes."

Huo Changhe went back to his room and thought carefully about the news that the secret guard had just said. It was just a water village, it was not a big deal. When he came back from the border, he had also destroyed a lot of evil-ridden villagers.

But the water village is so close to Lincheng. Huo Changhe is worried that Huo Changxian will collude with the people in the water village, and they will cooperate inside and outside, which will cause endless troubles.

He picked up the pen and drew on the paper, following the drawing method that Yan Ruyu often used.

Because of the whistle, I met the three gangsters. I went to investigate and found that the gangsters were killed. Later, the secret guard suspected that it was someone in the water village.

That was because of Feng Shao. According to Feng Shao himself, he didn’t know why the three people killed him. If it was Huo Changxian’s instruction, it means that Huo Changxian knew about Feng Shao’s intention to leave and wanted to kill him. He silenced himself.

But now the whistle has returned to Huo Changxian, and Huo Changxian has no doubts about him, and he is fine so far.

If Huo Changxian had not instructed the three people to kill the bee whistle, then he would not have let the people from the water village kill those three people.

It doesn't seem to be true.

Huo Changhe couldn't figure it out.

Yan Ruyu opened her eyes and saw that he was writing and meditating. She looked at him quietly for a while, then stood up and went to him and handed him some red fruits.

"What are you thinking about?"

Huo Changhe pointed to what he had drawn and told her the news he had just received.

Yan Ruyu thought for a long time: "There is indeed suspicion in Shuizhai, but maybe it is not to silence them."

"The prince also saw those three gangsters. They are not good people." Yan Ruyu took the pen and wrote down Huo Changxian's name. "In my opinion, Huo Changmeixian will not cooperate with that kind of person."

She circled Shui Zhai again: "It is possible to collude with Shui Zhai. According to what the secret guards said, Shui Zhai is mostly righteous people. If Huo Changxian manages a good reputation and establishes a good image, he may not be able to deceive them."

"Why do you say Huo Changxian won't cooperate with those three gangsters?" Huo Changhe was a little confused.

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly: "My lord, if you think about it carefully, Huo Changxian's ability can be put aside, but he is a proud and arrogant person, and he cherishes feathers very much. Gold and silver mountains have been with him for many years, and they are all under his control. Because of his loyalty, He also has some skills, so he can tolerate some of their minor problems."

"But not these three gangsters. They are outside the city, out of control, behave badly, and are greedy. The possibility of getting into trouble is too high. What will be the consequences after getting into trouble?"

"Huo Changxian must be ready to clean up the mess at any time, and there is a possibility that the cooperation will be exposed," Huo Changhe completely understood, "So, Huo Changxian will not choose them."

"That's right," Yan Ruyu nodded, "So, we should focus on the water village. Maybe if the matter in the water village is found out, the deaths of the three people will be solved naturally."

“The most complicated things are often the simplest.”

Huo Changhe smiled slightly and cupped his hands: "The princess's words made me suddenly enlightened and willing to accept the defeat."

Yan Ruyu smiled and put down her pen: "Put it away and go eat. I'm a little hungry."

"Okay, what do you want to eat? I know there are several specialty restaurants here."

"Go to the place where Huo Changxian often goes."

Huo Changhe understood: "No problem."

When Huo Changxian went back and saw those two people, he realized that their actions had gone awry.

As for what happened, the two people were also at a loss. They went outside to wait and had no idea what was going on inside.

I also felt that it took too long and heard the noise inside, so I had a premonition that something was wrong and came back quickly.

Huo Changxian closed his eyes hard, his anger rising.

At this moment, someone from outside came to report: "Sir, the governor's office has issued a notice and is still searching the city to find the gangsters who entered the prison to commit crimes."

Huo Changxian snorted coldly: "Let him find it!"

Glancing at the two kneeling people, he said, "You two, don't show your face first and stay out of the limelight."

"Yes!"

The two of them exited, and the servant came up with tea and said consolingly: "Sir, have a sip of tea. You haven't eaten breakfast. What do you want for lunch? I will arrange it."

"No need, no appetite."

"How can this be done? The busier you are, the more you need to eat," the waiter thought, "How about going to Mingxiang Restaurant? Eat your favorite dishes? The day before yesterday, their boss handed over the menu and said that they had new dishes. Please come. taste."

Huo Changxian pressed his eyebrows: "Okay, let's change."
