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

The dancer stopped talking.

Just as Huo Changhe was about to speak, Yan Ruyu said: "Girl, thank you for your help. Let's go outside to see the situation first. When things calm down, you can let your sisters go back first. We can discuss it later if we have something to do, okay?"

Wu Ji said gratefully: "Yes, thank you very much."

Yan Ruyu saw that she had something to hide, but was unwilling to give up the opportunity to talk to Huo Changhe in person, so she was in a dilemma.

After hearing Yan Ruyu's suggestion, Wu Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

The light was bright downstairs, and the county government's police officers came, holding torches high, and the killers quickly disappeared without a trace.

The detectives went upstairs to find Magistrate Cao.

Magistrate Cao stood up from the corner and looked for Huo Changhe with a pale face.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Ruyu let the dancers go.

Leaving the leader behind, Yan Ruyu followed her to the shadow outside the door.

"If you have anything, please tell me."

Wu Ji saw that Huo Changhe came into the room and looked for Yan Ruyu. He was relieved when he saw that she was fine. The concern and nervousness were not fake.

She was blessed with good health and dignified manners, without any of the frivolous appearance she had when she danced before.

"The civilian girl wants to help you, get rid of the evildoers in the county."

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly: "Young lady, do you know who the evil person is?"

The dancing girl whispered, mixed in with the bleak voice of Dry Leaves Rolling Young Master: "A commoner's daughter is not born lowly, she is also a daughter of an official family. My father was the original county magistrate of this county."

A trace of surprise flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes.

"I would like to ask you, sir, to avenge my father," Mai Ji said with tears in her eyes, "As long as I can avenge my father and eradicate those evil people, I will not regret dying."

Yan Ruyu intuitively felt that she should know a lot. Now that the identities of the assassins were unknown, it would be too dangerous to let her go like this.

After thinking about it, Yan Ruyu called out the coachman's secret guard and took her to a safe place temporarily.

The dancing girl bowed deeply and followed the secret guard without hesitation.

Yan Ruyu returned to the second floor. Huo Changhe was dealing with other officials perfunctorily. When he saw her coming back, he let out a sigh of relief.

Several officials were injured, but none were serious. Yan Ruyu glanced at Wu Lixia and saw that his arm was also bandaged.

A banquet turned into a frightening banquet, and Magistrate Cao repeatedly apologized to Huo Changhe.

Afterwards, let the officials go their separate ways.

Everyone else had left, and the yamen officer also went downstairs. Huo Changhe said to Magistrate Cao, "Magistrate Cao, you come with me."

Magistrate Cao didn't know why. His arm was in severe pain, but he didn't dare to say anything at the moment. He could only endure it and followed Huo Changhe into the next room.

When he got behind the curtain and saw the body, he was shocked.

"This, this is!"

"This man attempted to assassinate, but was killed by my officer. After pulling off his mask, I found that he looked familiar. Magistrate Cao, do you recognize him?"

"I recognize him," County Magistrate Cao said immediately, "He is from the county government and a policeman. He usually talks very little and is very honest. How could this be? This..."

"My lord, this subordinate is guilty. I really don't know what's going on."

He was so frightened that he almost cried. He didn't dare to take another look at the corpse on the ground. His face was so pale that there was no blood.

Although he was afraid, he was not unfamiliar with him and readily acknowledged the people from his yamen.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe exchanged glances.

"Then I'll trouble you, sir, and order someone to take his body back and investigate it carefully. What happened? He was obviously a police officer in the yamen, receiving a salary from the court, and he was supposed to share your worries. How did he end up like this?" The assassin who assassinated me?”

"I need an explanation."

Magistrate Cao was sweating like rain: "Yes, yes, I understand, and I will definitely give you an explanation."

After he said that, he quickly ordered people to come up and carry the body away.

After getting on the sedan outside, Magistrate Cao exhaled heavily on the way back, feeling as if he had come back to life.

Huo Changhe also got on the sedan and whispered, "How about you come on?"

"Sir, sit down quickly," Yan Ruyu urged.

Huo Changhe felt sorry for her and had to walk alone after being frightened.

They agreed to go back to the Yamen with Magistrate Cao, and then quietly go to see Wu Ji.

When they arrived at the door, Magistrate Cao got off the sedan chair and apologized again, before letting Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu go to the backyard.

There were still the original lights in the room, and it was quiet and motionless.

Arriving at the door of the house, Yan Ruyu stretched out her hand to stop Huo Changhe.

"Be careful."

Huo Changhe stopped: "What's wrong?"

Yan Ruyu squatted down and picked up some powder on the ground with her fingers: "Something happened."

"This is the powder I gave to Li Jingyao. Come on, go in and take a look."

The two immediately drew their weapons and entered the house together.

The room was empty, no one was there, there was no sign of Li Jingyao at all.

Huo Changhe saw the small hole in the lower right corner of the window: "Here."

Yan Ruyu came over to take a closer look: "Someone used the incense."

"If it were ordinary incense, Li Jingyao shouldn't have fainted."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment: "He was not fainted. He should have been taken away conscious."

"But there is no trace of fighting in this room..."

"Then he was taken away on purpose, pretended to be faint and left, and then left traces of powder outside the door."

Yan Ruyu put away the weapon: "Let's go out and take a look."

The fragrant powder goes from the door of the house, through the moon door at the back, out the back door, and goes to the east.

Huo Changhe whistled, and the secret guard appeared.

"Follow this clue, look for clues, and be sure to find the whereabouts of the person."

"Yes!"

Huo Changhe comforted Yan Ruyu: "Don't worry too much. Li Jingyao is extremely skilled and alert. Since he was taken away intentionally, he must be confident."

Yan Ruyu said she didn't regret it, which was a lie. She just wanted to create the illusion that the person was still there. Even if someone did something wrong, Li Jingyao could catch the person. Unexpectedly, he really followed the person away.

Once you leave, there will be countless unknowns.

If something unexpected happens, then...

"Let's go, let's go find the county magistrate and wait until news of the secret guard arrives."

"Ok."

At present, it seems that this can only be the case.

Magistrate Cao was injured in his concubine's room. When he needed comfort, the concubine was better. She knew she felt sorry for him and was gentle and soft-spoken. Unlike his wife, who would only nag and irritate him.

The concubine re-bandaged him, her face turned red and her eyes turned red when she saw the wound.

Magistrate Cao looked satisfied and was enjoying his concubine's care. Someone hurriedly came to report from outside the door: "Sir, the governor is here."

Magistrate Cao was extremely annoyed, and was about to scold him for not letting others rest quietly for a while, but when he heard that it was the governor, he suppressed the scolding and hurriedly got dressed to greet him.

As soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw Huo Changhe's gloomy face, which was even scarier than when he was assassinated in the restaurant just now.

"Sir, what's wrong with you...?"

"What's wrong? Magistrate Cao has the nerve to ask me what's wrong?" Huo Changhe's voice changed with anger, "Where's my wife!"

Magistrate Cao was stunned: "Madam? Isn't the governor's wife in the back house?"

"If you were here, would I still come to see you?"

"My wife was kidnapped!"
