Huo Changxian is dead.

Hanged himself and died.

When Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe arrived, the body was still hanging on top, and no one dared to move at the scene.

Here are the secret guards under Huo Changhe. They all know that the princess is powerful and can see many clues, so no one dares to act rashly.

"Subordinates who have neglected their duties should be punished by the prince and princess."

If a person is determined to die, nothing can stop him.

Yan Ruyu glanced at Huo Changhe, and Huo Changhe said: "Everyone, get up and step aside. I will make up for my mistakes in the future."

"Yes."

Yan Ruyu carefully looked at the chair that was kicked over on the ground, the height of the hanging, the "rope" used for hanging, and the shape of the body.

There is nothing wrong with it and it does meet all the characteristics of suicide by hanging.

There was no rope in the house, so the hanging sheets were torn into strips and connected to the rope.

"Put him down."

The secret guards took down the body and put it on the bed according to Yan Ruyu's instructions.

Huo Changhe asked them about the situation at that time, and Yan Ruyu looked carefully at Huo Changxian's face beside the corpse.

He is right, not fake, and not replaced by someone else.

The wound on his face was still there, and he even had some medicine on it.

But Yan Ruyu always felt that Huo Changxian was not a person with the courage to commit suicide.

He is selfish, narrow-minded, and regards other people's lives as trivial. He feels that his life is much more precious than other people's.

Such a life-loving person would go so far as to cut his own face with a hairpin when he was so excited and angry. How could he hang himself?

Furthermore, if you want to commit suicide, how can you still think about applying medicine to the wounds on your face?

But his appearance and the marks on his neck suggested that he had hanged himself.

Yan Ruyu turned her eyes to the table. There were teapots and cups on the table, as well as a few uneaten snacks.

"these things……"

The secret guard immediately said: "Back to the princess, these are all prepared by my subordinates, there is no problem."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "He did hang himself to death, but whether he hanged himself or was hanged while he was unconscious remains to be investigated."

"You guys check yourselves to see if there are any suspicious signs. I'll check what's going on in the house."

"Yes."

When the secret guards went down, Huo Changhe asked, "Are there any doubts?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "Not yet, I just feel strange. How could someone like him be willing to commit suicide suddenly?"

She thought for a moment: "My lord, I want to take some of his blood and test it. You can watch the door for me."

"it is good."

Huo Changhe turned around and went out, closing the door behind him.

Yan Ruyu took a little blood from Huo Changxian and entered the space for testing. The result was not difficult, and it only took about ten minutes to get the result.

"Sure enough," she frowned slightly and exited the space.

"My lord, come in!"

Huo Changhe asked: "Is there any result?"

"There is indeed drug content in his blood. In other words, he did not commit suicide, but was knocked unconscious."

Yan Ruyu checked the snacks and tea. There was no problem. What was the problem?

Looking back, he saw the wounds on Huo Changxian's face.

Take a little bit of the ointment and apply it on it.

Yan Ruyu's face changed slightly: "This is not an external medicine for treating injuries. It is a medicine that can cause people to coma. It also seeps directly into the blood. Although the amount taken is not large, it is enough to cause people to coma quickly."

"Did the murderer take this opportunity to knock him unconscious?" Huo Changhe looked up at the noose, "Who is it? Why did he have to put him to death?"

"It's probably his brother," Yan Ruyu sighed, "There is no one else who has the intention to kill him now except that brother."

The Lord of Yongchang County was taken away by Mr. Mo. If Huo Changxian was useful, I'm afraid he wouldn't ignore him. If he wasn't taken, it means it was useless.

The other people, the original people in the Yongchang County Lord's Mansion, have all fallen into disarray and fled to their own homes. Who would care about his life or death.

Only the person whose interests have been harmed, the brother who had made all the plans and was just waiting to reap the results, will hate him to the bone and make him pay with his life for the ruined plan.

Yan Ruyu shook his head, it was a relief that he died.

In this life, taking this trip is like a mistake, but there is no way to go back.

Now that the road has come to an end, no matter whether the period is complete or not, it always stops.

"Find a place to bury it."

Within two days, news came out that the grain transport teams from various grain stores turned around one after another, but they all returned empty.

No one could buy any food.

Gradually there were some rumors and a hint of panic in the city, spreading silently.

Seeing that winter has arrived, if there is no food, there is nowhere to find wild vegetables outside the city.

Having nothing to eat and being hungry is the scariest thing.

Governor Sun came to see Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu early in the morning with a serious look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Princess, as expected, it has already begun."

"Then let's start with our grain store," Yan Ruyu said in final words, "Sir, act according to the plan and ask everyone not to panic or get confused. You also have to control the situation. There should be a little disturbance, but not too much. Something big happened.”

Governor Sun has rehearsed the matter at home several times in the past few days. Mrs. Sun has played various roles to make things difficult for him, and he feels that there is nothing wrong.

"Okay, I understand, sir."

"Don't worry, sir. There is enough food. Let alone solving this crisis, even if Lincheng is trapped for half a year, it will not be a problem."

Governor Sun was determined and bowed deeply to Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu: "Thank you, Prince and Princess. Fortunately, you two helped me in this disaster. I will never forget it until my death."

"Prince Sun, I don't want you to die. You have to live a good life and manage Lincheng well."

"Yes."

Governor Sun turned around and retreated. Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe also went to the grain store.

The grain store originally given to them by Huo Changxian is now managed by the Qian family, and everything is going smoothly.

Yesterday, Yan Ruyu asked them to go to the designated place to bring back food. The shop in front and the warehouse in the back were both full, so there would be no problem for today.

When they opened the door, people immediately lined up to enter. Although they were a little nervous, nothing unexpected happened.

Yan Ruyu went to the Qian family's original grain store and filled up their granary.

People's hearts are like this. When they heard that there was a shortage of food, they all wanted to buy it. But when they saw that there was enough food and the price was the same as usual, there was no fluctuation, and everyone settled down.

On the second day, the number of people queuing up to buy food decreased significantly.

When it was past noon, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe went to a remote courtyard.

It's quiet here, but there's a bit of chill in the air.

There are people locked up in the rooms on both sides, and all of them are good players.

In the main room in the middle, it was Qi Tianmeng who was imprisoned.

Yan Ruyu pushed the door open and entered. The light was like a knife, splitting open the cracks in the door. Qi Tianmeng was pierced by the sunlight and squinted slightly.

When he saw the person coming in, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and sat up suddenly.

He had lost all his inner strength, but he still held on to the outside to prevent outsiders from seeing it.

"It turns out to be King Zhennan," Qi Tianmeng stared at Huo Changhe who came in later, "I'm polite."

He didn't pretend that he didn't know him, but it was meaningless now. The moment Huo Changhe showed his true face in front of others, Qi Tianmeng knew that Huo Changhe should already know his identity.

If you don't say anything secretly in front of someone, and then pretend not to know him, it will be of no use except that your face will be dull and you will appear to have lost value.

"Qi Tianmeng, did the Emperor ask you to come here just to help Yongchang and his mother and son?"

Huo Changhe didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Qi Tianmeng nodded: "Yes, the emperor knew that she was pregnant with a boy, so he naturally paid attention to her, but he couldn't send anyone overtly, so he had to send me and Geng Can to help secretly."

"The emperor has more than one son. He would travel thousands of miles for an illegitimate son and ask you to come to help him? Is there any other reason?"

Qi Tianmeng sneered: "It's not because of that woman who is the head of Yongchang County. She has many tricks and bribes with Si Tianjian, saying that her child is a talent from heaven and has good luck. Isn't the emperor's most important thing the will of God?"
