Song Ping followed Yan Ruyu's instructions and led the county magistrate into the arranged courtyard.

The county magistrate took a look at the courtyard. It was a private courtyard, quiet and private. Isn't this exactly what Zhong Kui said?

He immediately decided to live here and asked for Song Ping's opinion. Of course, Song Ping had no objection. He only said that it was the courtyard's honor to have Mr. Qingtian live here. After that, he retreated sensibly.

Song Ping went outside, smiled at each other with the brother who had just quarreled, and went to return to Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu made arrangements in the yard, which was enough to convince the county magistrate that it was a destined place and it was the chosen residence.

The reason why he was allowed to live there was because his neighbor Huo Changhe had arranged manpower to not only protect the county magistrate's safety just in case, but also to monitor other people's movements.

Those five people were all deserters. How could Mr. Qi, a businessman, keep these five people by his side? Just money?

not necessarily.

If the identity is discovered, this argument cannot be established. They dare to kill even Shangfeng, but are they afraid of killing Mr. Qi?

There must be other reasons. It depends on whether these five corpses can be brought here to attract other people.

Furthermore, the county magistrate came here with great ambitions, and Mr. Qi was very anxious to deal with him. There must be more loopholes, and Yan Ruyu could take advantage of them.

Yan Ruyu was discussing the next step with Huo Changhe when Yin Ding came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess, the county magistrate has summoned the government officials in the town and left someone to guard the front door."

"Where's the back door?"

"There is no back door for the time being," Yin Ding said. "However, there are two less detectives he brought with him. He should be preparing."

Yan Ruyu had a smile in her eyes: "This county magistrate also has some sense."

"In addition, Qi Song went out before the government officials guarded the door."

Song Qi, Song Qingyao, Qi Xuanliang’s wife.

Last night, Song Qingyao received a "blackmail letter" and asked Mrs. Qi to personally bring the banknotes to rescue Qi Xuanliang and negotiate terms with the kidnappers.

For Song Qingyao, no matter how big something happens in Qi Mansion, it is not as important as her husband's safety.

Yan Ruyu pondered for a moment: "Secretly watching the Qi Mansion and the abandoned yard, Old Master Qi must cover up this matter first and keep an eye on him to see if he sees anyone."

Although the county magistrate has guarded the door, Mr. Qi may not be able to get out. There may be a secret passage, or there may be accomplices who go to see him.

The county magistrate's subordinates have limited abilities and will inevitably make mistakes.

Yin Ding took the order and left. Huo Changhe handed a cup of hot tea to Yan Ruyu: "Do you want to follow Mrs. Song to have a look?"

"Your Majesty knows my heart. I always felt that the blackmail letter came strangely." Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea. "The little thin man clearly said that Qi Xuanliang did not write back, and the place where the incident happened is secret. It will not be known for a while." The leak disappears.

But when we went to Qi's house last night, the Song family had already received the news. It can be seen that the person who sent the news and the little thin man entered the city almost at the same time. "

"It's really weird."

"Although Qi Xuanliang escaped by chance, the people around him were dead and the medicine cart was also snatched away. Could it be that those people were trying to spread suspicion and think that the Qi family's great cause was great, so they wanted to deliberately lie about it. Money, that’s why I sent the letter.”

Huo Changhe's words made sense, and Yan Ruyu nodded: "It's very possible that Mrs. Song will die here. Last night I saw her talking to Mr. Qi. She was smart and capable of advancing and retreating. She was much better than Mrs. Yan. Maybe……"

"I think she knows something?" Huo Changhe understood her thoughts, "Want to save her in exchange for the truth?"

"I don't know if she really knows the truth, but at least, she should know something."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The two agreed to go after Song Qingyao.

After walking not far, he suddenly saw the little maid beside Mr. Yan, hurriedly going to a medicine shop.

Yan Ruyu had some impression of this little maid. At that time, she pretended to be an immortal and a fairy boy, and went to the immortal to ask for a son. She had this little maid with her and even asked the little maid to give her a bag of money.

Yan Ruyu reined in the horse and looked at the little maid's secretiveness. The drug store she entered was not from the Qi family.

She had been to this medicine shop with the abbot before. It was half the size of the Qi family, and most of the medicine they sold were ordinary medicinal materials.

Yan's maid, why did she come here if she didn't go to Qi's house to get medicine?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and followed behind.

Not long after, the little maid came out, and Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe separated.

She followed the little maid to see if she would return to Qi Mansion. Huo Changhe went into the drug store and asked what the little maid had just bought.

The little maid went directly back to Qi's Mansion without going anywhere else. She made a sneaky trip to the kitchen before returning to Yan's yard.

Yan Ruyu saw her walking around in front of a stove and then left.

One of the cooks said: "Did you see that? This must be the intention of the second wife, asking her to find out what kind of soup we are making for the first wife today."

"Really, the treatment of the first-term and second-term residents is the same, and they are not at a disadvantage compared to the second-term residents, so why should it be like this?"

"Who suffers in the end? What is the use of the second wife? What is the use of the eldest wife? Can't you tell by the jewelry on her head?"

"Mrs. Changfang has a good temper but is not in good health. The eldest son also has a gentle personality. Alas..."

Yan Ruyu pulled away and left, not caring about the little maid anymore.

She went to Song Qingyao's yard and walked around. The maid and her mother-in-law were not in the main house, and it was quiet.

Song Qingyao's room is very elegantly decorated, which is almost the same as her own dressing style. She does not seek luxury, but seeks comfort. The small details can show that she is different from ordinary people's homes.

She glanced over the dressing table and walked over to open the jewelry box. It was empty.

Presumably, Mr. Qi didn't give her enough banknotes, and he didn't plan to give her all last night. What's more, what happened early this morning, let alone care about it.

There was a corner of clothes caught on the edge of the wardrobe. Yan Ruyu opened it and took a look. It seemed a little empty, and most of the clothes were simple plain colors.

After digging out of the Qi Mansion, Yan Ruyu had a rough guess in her mind. There might be something fishy about Song Qingyao's illness.

When she saw Huo Changhe, she got the list of medicines that the little maid had just bought. They were all medicines that were against coughs, lung diseases and other diseases.

"how?"

Yan Ruyu put away the medicine list: "I really underestimate Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Song's illness has been lingering for many years, and I'm afraid it has something to do with her."

Huo Changhe frowned slightly: "The Yan family loves the eldest daughter Qi Luo very much. I initially suspected that she wanted to raise Qi Luo on purpose. She lost her child and didn't want to make it easy for the eldest daughter. She had to face a bear every day. Children, it’s not a pleasant thing either.”

"If she really wants to kill Song Qingyao, could it be that she just wants Qi Luo to be raised under her name?"

"I heard from my mother before that many back houses have used this method to kill the biological mother of the child and take the child away."

Yan Ruyu felt depressed after hearing this. What is all this? Obviously they are all women, and they have suffered themselves. It is enough not to be considerate of others, but to make others worse than themselves.

Seeing that she was silent, Huo Changhe said: "Forget it, there is no need to be angry with this kind of person, let's go to Heiguan Village first and then talk about it."
