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

Chapter 1770 Impostor

Yan Ruyu came to see Cui Chong.

Cui Chong hurriedly greeted him and said, "Princess, the governor is currently counting the number of people in Lanxing Pavilion and cannot be absent for the time being, so he asked me to reply."

"not yet……"

Just as he said this, the people who were sent to guard the Lanxing Pavilion came back, pushing and shoving a man who was wearing tight clothes, fast boots, and holding a bamboo hat in his hand.

"Princess, this person is an imposter."

Without waiting for Yan Ruyu to ask, the secret guard was so angry that he pushed the man to kneel in front of Yan Ruyu.

"explain."

The person kneeling was also extremely nervous at this point. He felt extremely regretful and kowtowed quickly.

"I pay my respects to you, Princess. I am truly wronged. Someone paid me ten taels of silver to let me dress up like this and walk around the side door of Lanxing Pavilion. I had no idea... Please forgive me, Princess."

Yan Ruyu looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"

"My Lady, I am a bodyguard from Yuanwei Escort Agency. My name is Liu Chengzhi. I meant no offense and I didn't know the seriousness of this matter. Please forgive me for my ignorance."

Yan Ruyu looked up at the secret guard, and the secret guard nodded.

When they caught Liu Chengzhi, they had already interrogated him, and they immediately went to verify it and found that it was indeed true.

Yan Ruyu asked again: "Who asked you to dress like this?"

"It's a woman," Liu Chengzhi answered quickly, "probably... a head shorter than me, wearing a green dress and a veil, and she speaks softly. I asked her what she meant, and she said she made a bet with her friends that she could find someone on the street to listen to her, and she thought it was interesting, so she came to give it a try."

"I didn't want to agree at first, but she gave me ten taels, and I was... moved."

Liu Chengzhi lowered his head in shame: "I really didn't expect it to be like this."

After he finished speaking, he took out ten taels of silver and said, "Here is the silver. I am willing to pay it."

Song Ping took it and looked at it carefully. It was just an ordinary ingot of silver, nothing special about it, and no special characters or symbols printed on it.

He held it for Yan Ruyu to look at, and Yan Ruyu nodded. Song Ping then returned the silver to Liu Chengzhi.

"This woman may be a wanted criminal by the government. She is using you to distract the government and confuse their attention. Although you are not aware of it, the fact is already established. Although the crime is not punishable by death, you should be punished."

Liu Chengzhi knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

"However, considering that this is your first offense and you have confessed your crime and handed over the stolen money, I will give you a chance to make amends."

"If you see this woman on the street again, you must catch her and take her to the government office. Are you willing?"

Liu Chengzhi quickly kowtowed: "Yes, I am willing."

"In that case, these ten taels of silver will be your reward."

Yan Ruyu ordered, "Bring pen and ink."

After the things were brought back, Liu Chengzhi was asked to describe the appearance of the woman he had seen and draw a portrait.

Yan Ruyu looked at the character she was painting. He was wearing a veil that covered his face from head to waist, so it was difficult to see his features clearly.

However, something is better than nothing.

Maybe next time, I can add some more.

After sending Liu Chengzhi away, Yan Ruyu gave Song Ping a wink, and Song Ping understood and arranged for someone to follow him.

Afterwards, Yan Ruyu said to Cui Chong, "Go back and tell Governor Cao that the matter of Lanxing Pavilion can be handled according to the law. If there is a landlord there, it will be returned to the original owner after the search. If there is no landlord, the government will be responsible for it and the highest bidder will win."

Cui Chong took the order and left.

At this point, except for the "General Rong" who has not been caught, all the others involved in the Lanxing Pavilion incident have been arrested.

Next, it depends on whether Lu Peng can follow the clues and catch another big fish.

……

Shencheng, in a small courtyard.

Guiyan came to see Mr. Mo with wounds all over his body and after suffering seven kinds of punishment.

He stood in the porch outside the room, afraid that the smell of blood on his body would offend the gentleman.

Mr. Mo closed his eyes, his face gloomy. The trees outside the window were full of flowers, and he was enjoying the beautiful scenery, but he had no intention of taking a look at them.

"Sir, I have been punished for my poor performance. Please give me your instructions."

Mr. Mo still didn't open his eyes. The ghost hand was caught, which was a big loss. The key was that he didn't know whether he would say something he shouldn't say.

Otherwise, he would not have changed his residence overnight.

That’s not all. The “plague” plan in Shencheng was also forced to be shelved, and the medicinal materials that were purchased at great cost were useless.

Fortunately, there is a backup plan.

When fighting with Huo Changhe and his wife, you have to have a back-up plan for everything.

After a while, he opened his eyes, his dark eyes full of unwillingness.

"Then you go to Youcheng and look for opportunities to cause more trouble to Youcheng to relieve my hatred."

"Yes." Ghost Eyes responded immediately.

He had the same plan. After suffering such a big setback this time, he had to get it back!

As soon as Guiyan left, the little boy came in to report.

"Here he comes, sir."

"Let him in."

Mr. Mo raised his hand to pour tea and motioned to the person who came in: "Sit down."

The man sat down with a serious expression.

Mr. Mo pushed the tea to the middle: "What? What happened?"

"Sir, the bird's wing was nearly broken."

Mr. Mo was startled: "What? When did it happen?"

"I just got the news, but he brought a turning point."

"Now that the bird's wings are broken, how can there be a chance of recovery? Be careful of traps," Mr. Mo reminded, becoming alert instantly.

"He has always been cautious and careful. This time, he resisted when he was captured and injured Huo Changhe with a dagger. The dagger was poisoned."

Mr. Mo narrowed his eyes, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true. The poison on the dagger was the one I gave him in Shencheng. It was a poison from outside the Great Wall. He didn't feel anything when it first entered his body, but it took effect a few hours later. It was very severe, and it was too late to save him."

Mr. Mo remained silent.

"Sir, the bird wants to exchange its life for the antidote. Do you want to..."

Mr. Mo raised his hand and interrupted him.

"But he still has the last batch of silver on him. It would be a pity if we don't take care of it."

Mr. Mo narrowed his eyes and thought, speechless for a moment.

"The Star-Gathering Pavilion has been confiscated. Those Dasang people don't know the relationship between the birds and us, so we are safe."

"However, there will be no more income from Lanxing Pavilion in the future."

Mr. Mo raised his eyes and looked at him: "You can't take risks just for a small sum of money. Even if Huo Changhe died of poisoning, the Princess of Zhennan, that woman... is no less capable than Huo Changhe and should not be underestimated."

"It would be fine if Huo Changhe is not dead, but if he is dead, Princess Zhennan will never let it go. Can you bear her anger? Think about it carefully."

The visitor said nothing.

Obviously, he is also thinking about the trade-offs.

Princess Zhennan is truly one of the biggest variables, someone they had not expected and also the most difficult one.

After thinking for a while, the man said, "I can send someone to shoot the bird."

"Take the silver back. Even if there is a trap, it is useless if the person is dead."

Mr. Mo nodded slightly: "The person sent..."

"Don't worry, sir. I will make proper arrangements. Even if there is a trick, the people in the Zhennan Palace will not find out."

"Okay," Mr. Mo nodded in agreement, "We need to send someone to investigate in detail whether Huo Changhe is alive or dead."
