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

When County Magistrate Cao heard this, his legs were so frightened that he almost couldn't stand.

He couldn't even speak at once: "This, this...how could this happen?"

Huo Changhe hated the iron. "If I knew it, would I still come to you? Magistrate Cao, I want you to think of countermeasures. You must stand firm and don't faint!"

Magistrate Cao really wanted to faint for a while, but he didn't dare to faint after hearing what he said.

"Jiaguan, Xianguan will send someone to find Madam right now. Please feel at ease, sir..."

He didn't even have the confidence to say this himself.

Where to find it? There are currently no clues.

Huo Changhe hummed: "The rule of Magistrate Cao is really an eye-opener for me. I can kill killers after a meal. My wife is missing when I come back. If it weren't for the fact that you blocked an arrow for me, I would have killed you by now." I’ll kill you with one knife!”

Magistrate Cao's face was earth-colored, he was trembling all over, and he did not dare to answer.

Yan Ruyu took the opportunity to take over the words and spoke in a gentle tone: "County Magistrate Cao, my lord brought his wife here because he heard about auspicious events in the local area. Now, bad things happen one after another. It is very different from what he thought. No wonder you are angry."

When it came to "auspiciousness", Magistrate Cao finally had some ideas.

"Please be at peace, my lord. I know the crime. I will try my best to find my wife and catch the murderer."

Huo Changhe snorted coldly: "It's best this way!"

Yan Ruyu said: "I wonder what you can do?"

Magistrate Cao hesitated and said: "I am going to Qingshi Temple and ask Taoist Master Shi Ling. He will definitely be able to calculate the location of my wife."

Yan Ruyu asked doubtfully: "Can it really be so effective?"

"This...I will try my best."

Huo Changhe said impatiently: "I am also looking around, waiting for good news from Magistrate Cao!"

After that, he turned around and strode away, and Yan Ruyu quickly followed.

They went out and hid in a dark place. After a while, they saw Magistrate Cao going out, and the two of them immediately followed.

Magistrate Cao did not go to the Taoist temple, but went to a small house.

Huo Changhe said in a low voice: "Li Jingyao found out about Magistrate Cao during the day. He said that Magistrate Cao usually lives in the government office, but there is also a small house in the city, but he doesn't live much, so it must be here."

"Didn't you say that the Taoist priest is in the Taoist temple outside the city?" Yan Ruyu frowned, "What is he doing here?"

"Follow me and you'll know at a glance."

Huo Changhe led her over the courtyard wall and landed gently in the courtyard.

Magistrate Cao and a man's shadow were reflected on the window paper, and they were talking in a low voice.

"I still have to go watch it now."

"This matter cannot be delayed."

"Without further ado, you're leaving immediately."

Not long after, Magistrate Cao and a man walked out one after another, it was Wu Lizheng.

After going out, Magistrate Cao and Wu Lizheng went their separate ways.

Yan Ruyu thought about it: "It seems that what they said before is true. Only Wu Lizheng can contact the Taoist temple. No wonder, among so many officials, he is just an upright one, but no one dares to be disrespectful to him."

Huo Changhe sneered: "It's ridiculous that one Li Zheng can scare the officials of a county with just one Taoist priest!"

Yan Ruyu knew that he was heartbroken. He had fought bloody battles to protect his country, but what were these officials doing?

"Let's go see the dancer."

The dancing girl was placed in a small courtyard. It looked ordinary on the outside, but in fact there were secret guards watching her.

Seeing Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu coming, they both stepped forward and saluted.

Yan Ruyu asked: "Is there anything wrong with her?"

"Back to Princess, no. She has been sitting there since she arrived, not talking or looking around."

Yan Ruyu knew what was going on and walked slowly inside.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wu Ji looked up and saw Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe coming, and quickly stood up to greet them.

"grown ups."

Huo Changhe sat down and said calmly: "Tell me."

There was no beating around the bush, and he didn't even want to be polite.

The dancing girl lowered her head, not daring to look at him any longer, and whispered: "Qin Lu, a civilian girl, is the daughter of Qin Xiuqiang, the former county prime minister. My father was killed two years ago by a Taoist priest from Qingshi Temple!"

Qin Lu's voice was trembling, but still firm, and he continued: "As early as when Qingshi Temple appeared, my father frowned and said that there was something wrong with this temple. He also told Magistrate Cao several times, but Magistrate Cao I didn’t take it seriously, and later I became displeased, and even scolded my father not to speak nonsense without any evidence.”

"My father has been frowning all day long. I saw that he was really worried, but I didn't know how to comfort him, so I wanted to go and have a look to see what the situation was like."

Yan Ruyu's heart moved slightly: "Have you been there?"

Qin Lu bit his lip and nodded: "I have been there. I originally went there by carriage that day, but before I got to the bottom of the mountain, the carriage broke down, so I walked up alone. The road was unfamiliar and difficult to walk, and it was already dark by then. ”

A trace of panic appeared on Qin Lu's face: "The gate was closed. I was upset. I was about to go back when I suddenly heard someone's voice in the temple. I couldn't help my curiosity, so I peeked through the crack in the door.

I vaguely saw a few Taoist priests driving away a few men, but it was already dark and there was no moonlight, so I couldn't see clearly what they looked like. "

"Drive the man away?" Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other.

What was lost in Luojiazhuang was also a man.

"What happened next?"

"Then I quietly turned around. After thinking about it, I didn't dare to tell my father about it." Qin Lu's eyes turned red and he held back his tears. "If I knew...if I knew what happened next, I would definitely tell my father." .”

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe did not rush and waited patiently.

After a moment, she calmed down and continued: "I missed it for a moment. My father came back very late those days, and one day, he never came back."

"I went to inquire and found out that men were missing in several nearby villages. Someone came to my father asking for help, and my father was investigating the matter.

I was flustered, guessing that it might be related to the Taoist temple incident. I wanted to go to Magistrate Cao to explain the matter clearly, but news came that my father had fallen to his death in the mountains. "

"I was so anxious that I wanted to go to the mountains for a visit, but Magistrate Cao didn't let me go. He only said that he had sent people to find my father's body."

Qin Lu's big tears rolled down his face: "I wanted to go out, but there was a government officer guarding the door. Only then did I realize that I was being watched.

Within two days, my father's body was brought back to the government office. I wanted to take it back, but Magistrate Cao said that my father did not fall to death on his own, but colluded with the bandits and was pushed off the cliff by the bandits because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. "

Qin Lu sneered, with tears mixed in his eyes: "My father has been honest all his life and has been greedy for half of his money. How could he collude with bandits and share the spoils? I don't know what it means!"

I argued hard and defended my father, but no one listened to me. Magistrate Cao also said that I was the daughter of a criminal and should have died with my father. However, since I didn’t know about it and was still young, he punished me. Become a lowly citizen and become a dancer. "

When she said this, she was silent for a moment, and then laughed again, a sound squeezed out of her chest, filled with grief and anger.

"What kind of world is this, what kind of court is this!"
