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

Chapter 1921: Beat Him and Ask Again

The master's voice was very low.

"Sir, in my humble opinion, we should find two reliable men to directly throw Liu Da's body outside the city and bury it somewhere."

Ding Hengshou's eyes widened: "Is this your idea?"

The master swallowed his saliva and faced his gaze: "Sir, there is no better way."

Ding Hengshou thought about it and realized that there really wasn't one.

"But many people saw him coming here..."

"But many people saw him leave," the lawyer said. "As long as you firmly believe that he came and left, and his whereabouts are unknown, no one can blame you."

Ding Hengshou opened his mouth, but the lawyer moved closer and lowered his voice.

"As for his body, when I saw it, I didn't let anyone else get close to it, so you can rest assured."

Ding Hengshou looked at him and he nodded. Ding Hengshou was torn between his conscience and his desires in his mind. After thinking for a while, he slowly nodded.

There is no other way to go.

……

Liu Jiulang returned to the teahouse and saw the waiters in front of the door were cleaning up and some passers-by were pointing and talking.

"What happened?"

The shopkeeper told Liu Jiulang what had just happened, and he could hardly believe his ears.

"What the hell is he doing?"

Can you do some serious work every day?

The shopkeeper frowned and replied, "Master, I think he comes with bad intentions and seems to be angry. Maybe something else happened and he came here just to vent his anger."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiulang thought for a moment. The biggest issue at the moment was the theft in Governor Ding's warehouse. The military rations were missing. However, Liu Balang didn't know about it yet, and he didn't plan to let Liu Balang know.

The issue of military rations is a big deal, and Liu Balang dared to touch it. If he continues like this, something big will definitely happen. We must find out as soon as possible where Liu Balang took the military rations and what he did with them.

After much deliberation, he ordered, "Clean it up. I'll negotiate with him about this matter."

"Yes."

Liu Jiulang walked in, and after a few steps he asked again, "Is there any information about the whereabouts of the master and servant?"

The shopkeeper knew he was talking about Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu, and shook his head: "No."

"Keep looking. They're not locals, so they'll definitely be staying at an inn. Since the master is so picky, he definitely won't stay at a small inn. It shouldn't be difficult to find them."

"Yes, I will go and look for it myself right away," replied the shopkeeper.

Liu Jiulang nodded, turned around and walked upstairs, and his men followed him upstairs.

After entering the room, Liu Jiulang sat down, rubbing his eyebrows, with a lot of worries in his heart.

"Master, I am willing to share your worries," the subordinate stepped forward and said.

Liu Jiulang looked up at him and said, "No problem. You've been with me for many years, so I trust you. However, this matter is of great importance."

Wuyang saluted and said, "Please give your orders, Master."

Liu Jiulang looked at him for a long moment. "Go and pick out a dozen good fighters. Be loyal and keep your mouths shut. I'm going to have them disguise themselves and follow the ship to find out where Lao Ba has transported the military rations."

Wuyang nodded seriously: "Yes, Master, don't worry, I will see to it."

He turned to leave, but Liu Jiulang said again, "Wait."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered in silence, and waited quietly by the side.

After a while, Liu Jiulang said, "Find a few more martial arts masters, hire them with a large salary, and place them elsewhere first. Then, have them help out from the outside and be ready to take orders at any time."

Liu Jiulang looked at Wuyang and said, "Delicious food and drink, give them some lover's wine."

Wuyang didn't even raise his eyebrows: "Yes."

Liu Jiulang waved his hand, Wuyang turned around and went to do it, leaving him alone in the room.

His eyes fell on the map of Rongzhou on the opposite wall - it was only right that he should control Rongzhou.

Lao Ba is of no use.

However, before his father died, he told the Eighth Brother to be the one in charge. The old guys in the clan all believed in this. If they wanted to get rid of the Eighth Brother, they had to make him make mistakes constantly and turn him into a useless person who could do nothing but eat, drink and have fun.

……

Yan Ruyu looked at Cao Shu lying on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, looking like a completely different person.

Yinding and his men are very experienced in beating people. They can cause pain without taking anyone's life.

Cao Shu lay on the bed groaning, like a mouse that had been bruised and battered by a cat.

"Have you learned to speak?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Cao Shu didn't dare to say anything else, so he nodded reluctantly: "Yes, yes."

"How many people are there on your boat?"

"There are thirty of us in total, divided into two groups of twelve. Each group has three substitutes. If someone can't get on the boat, the substitute will take over."

"The docks are all run by us. Our boats are big and can handle anything. In the past, there were some other small boats competing for business, but then... after a crackdown, they disappeared."

"Plus, the river was rough and there were more and more boat accidents, so... it was even worse."

Yan Ruyu asked again: "The boat crashed. Was it an accident or was it man-made?"

Cao Shu's throat rolled over: "The river is turbulent, and the small boat can't withstand it. It's common for boats to capsize..."

Yinding took a step forward.

Cao Shu immediately added: "In the beginning, there were indeed human interventions, but later on, as the river became more dangerous, there were fewer human interventions."

Yan Ruyu's eyes turned cold. Although she already knew the answer, she still felt cold in her heart when she heard it in person.

These people treat other people's lives as worthless, they really deserve to die.

"How many lives do you have on your hands?"

Cao Shu was really in a dilemma when faced with this problem.

It’s not okay to tell lies, and it’s even worse to tell the truth.

"I……"

Before I could think of what to say, Beibei came up and slapped me.

This slap shattered all of Cao Shu's hopes of luck.

"I've killed an old man and a middle-aged man before. However, that man was already ill, so letting him die early would be a relief..."

Before he could finish his words, Beibei slapped him twice more.

"Liberation, liberation! You scumbag, can I liberate you too?"

"What is the relationship between the old man in charge on your side and the Liu family?" Yinding asked.

"He...he is a close confidant of the Liu family, sent by Liu Balang. He used to work in the Liu Mansion."

"What are you doing on the ship?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"Helping with the work, the shipping company is quite busy these days. I heard there might be another big customer coming, and they all want to take him over."

Big merchants? Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe exchanged glances. They must be the ones being mentioned.

"Did I let you into the city to arrest me?" asked Yinding.

Cao Shu didn't want to answer, but he didn't dare to not reply. He lowered his head and said, "Indeed, something went wrong on the boat, and I was dragged out from under the bed. This matter can't be concealed. The manager said that we must find you."

"What are you going to do after you find it?"

"Just..." Cao Shu swallowed his saliva, "Find out your whereabouts and catch you."

Yan Ruyu motioned Beibei to come forward and handed him a green pill.

Beibei showed it to Cao Shu, and then stuffed the pill into his mouth without any explanation.
