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

Chapter 1703: Spare My Life

After hearing Yan Ruyu's words, the abbot came back to his senses from his fear.

He suddenly realized, "I understand now. They are in the same group. Their purpose is to force Mr. Shi into a desperate situation so that they can buy his manor by force."

Yan Ruyu sighed softly: "You finally turned the corner."

"The Shi family is so pitiful. I think they are good people, with a good family business and a stable life. But after such an incident, they have lost everything."

"Fortunately, Miss Shi can be cured," Yan Ruyu sighed, "and his daughter's life can be saved. The rest can be earned later."

The abbot nodded: "That's true."

As the two walked back, the abbot asked quietly, "When are you going to go take a look? What kind of mine is this?"

Yan Ruyu pondered and said, "I have to ask Yinding about this when I get back. What kind of prospector did the prince look for last time? There are very few such people."

The abbot looked at her and tried to hold back his laughter: "We have them on our farm. You forgot that they are still on the gold mine."

Yan Ruyu slapped her forehead and said, "Yes, yes, forget about it."

The abbot was eager to try: "Then let's call them and go together?"

Yan Ruyu also wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible so that she could find out what was going on.

"Okay, I'll go back and arrange things in the mansion and then I'll leave."

"Then I'll go find Shopkeeper Yu. The manor belongs to the Qian family now, so we have to let them know anyway."

"That's right, let's split up."

……

Li Qi escaped from prison by taking advantage of a fire in the prison, and left his mark in the alley.

Based on this alone, Huo Changhe knew that there must be other people contacting him.

Li Qi was already followed by secret guards, but he was totally unaware of it. Relying on the fact that he was a native of Shencheng, he was very agile in moving through the streets and alleys.

He found a small run-down courtyard and jumped over the wall without knocking on the door. The wall was already broken into pieces and could not stop anything from entering.

There was a young man in the room, wearing a patched silk shirt, sleeping soundly on the bed.

Li Qi entered the room but failed to wake him up.

After checking around and confirming that everything was safe, Li Qi heaved a sigh of relief, sat down, and drank another cup of herbal tea.

The man on the bed woke up and was startled when he saw the figure.

After a closer look, I found it was him and lay down again.

"It's you. You scared me."

"Ma San, get up quickly and get me something to eat."

Ma San turned over and said impatiently, "I haven't slept enough. Let's talk about it when it's time for dinner."

"Go quickly, now."

Hearing Li Qi's voice become deeper, Ma San turned around to look at him, and then he realized that he looked haggard and indeed looked like he was extremely hungry.

He struggled to get up and put on his shoes: "Take it easy, be good to your partner, but you can't risk your life."

"Go away," Li Qi whispered, "When you get out, if anyone asks you about me, just say you didn't see me."

Ma San was stunned for a moment, looking confused.

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard it," Ma San muttered to himself.

But he has always been afraid of Li Qi, and Li Qi often gives him some pocket money to spend, so he is happy to listen to Li Qi.

After opening the door and going out, Ma San quickly forgot his doubts and did not take Li Qi's words seriously.

Although Li Qi is doing better than him, he is not a famous person, so who would want to know about him?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned out of the alley, a knife was placed on his neck.

"do not move."

Ma San's legs were weak. If the secret guard hadn't grabbed the back of his neck, he would not have been able to walk at all.

"Who are you to Li Qi?" Huo Changhe asked.

"I do not……"

"Tell the truth," Huo Changhe interrupted him, "otherwise..."

The secret guard waved his hand and the small tree next to him was cut off.

Ma San swallowed his saliva and said, "I'm telling you, he and I are friends. We grew up together, but he's two years older than me and smarter. I always listen to him."

"What did he do? I don't know. I didn't participate. I just drank with him and went to brothels. I..."

Huo Changhe sneered: "You don't know, then why did he come to you? I tell you, he killed our people and robbed our goods. We will never stop fighting him."

When Ma San heard that Li Qi was involved in murder and robbery, his face turned pale.

"Ah? This... I really don't know, dear man, he didn't tell me either."

"Did he have a lot of money during this period? Did he meet anyone? He can't do this by himself. If you don't tell me, you are an accomplice."

Ma San swallowed his saliva and cursed in his heart, thinking that he had gotten into this trouble out of nowhere!

It's like sitting at home and disaster will come from the sky.

"I'm really not, my good man. Look how poor I am. If I were rich, could I live here? Could I wear this?"

"This is my only silk dress. It was given to me by Li Qi when he stopped wearing it."

Ma San felt so wronged: "He hasn't been here for the past two days. He just arrived today. You..."

He suddenly stopped and Huo Changhe stared at him.

"Now I remember, he did seem to have made some money, but he didn't give me the money. He gave it to his lover, and a big bag of other things."

"I was drunk at the time and didn't see it clearly. He was also evasive. I didn't ask any more questions later. I don't even remember what you're talking about."

"That package of things, isn't it to rob your goods?"

"Where is his lover?"

Ma San thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either..."

Meeting Huo Changhe's gaze, he quickly changed the subject: "Let me think about it. Let me think about it."

"I'm sure I'll remember it."

"I remember he said to go to Liuming Lane. Maybe that's where it is. He usually doesn't take me there. Good man, that's all I know."

Ma San was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Huo Changhe asked again: "What does his lover look like? Do you know?"

"I..." He wanted to say he didn't know, but was afraid that Huo Changhe would think he was just being perfunctory.

After racking his brains for a long time, he finally said, "His lover doesn't seem to be from the Central Plains. I only saw her once from a distance. She was a woman dressed like someone from outside the Great Wall."

"She's not very tall, about a head shorter than Li Qi," Ma San thought for a moment, "Oh, by the way, she seems to be left-handed."

"How do you know?" Huo Changhe asked.

"Because when Li Qi gave her something, she always took it with her left hand, and..."

Ma San touched his head and said, "I can't really explain it, but it feels that way. My grandma is left-handed, I'm very familiar with her, so... it feels that way anyway."

People's intuition is sometimes strange and unreasonable, but it is mostly accurate.

Huo Changhe knew this and didn't take it lightly, but he didn't take it as a standard either.

I asked some other questions, but over and over again, it seemed that Ma San really had nothing to say.

Huo Changhe leaned over to look at him, his eyes sharp as a knife: "Do you know what to say when you go back?"

Ma San felt as if he was being watched by the god of death: "I know, I know..."

He then shook his head and said, "I know I can't mention heroes, but I don't know what you want me to say."

"Not too stupid."

"Then you do as I say."
