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

Chapter 1862: Kill three birds with one stone

Zhang Qi could see Mr. Bai's words and his expression clearly through the small hole.

Sure enough, he was pushed out to take the blame.

Zhang Qi became furious and wanted to look down again, but Song Ping dragged him away and blocked the brick hole.

Yan Ruyu continued to ask: "You don't know about Zhou Shan's case, and the rape and murder have nothing to do with you. So, you are innocent?"

Mr. Bai smiled and said, "Princess, I run a gambling house. There are all kinds of people in gambling houses. Some gamblers get so angry from losing that they refuse to pay back the money. It's inevitable that there will be friction. Otherwise, I wouldn't look for someone like Zhang Qi."

"If it's a minor incident, I admit it, but if it's a serious crime, I really don't dare to do it."

Yan Ruyu's lips curled up slightly: "Did Mr. Mo tell you to say that?"

Mr. Bai was stunned.

Yan Ruyu stared at him: "Didn't he tell you that you have to tell the truth when you meet me?"

Mr. Bai's throat rolled: "What... what Mr. Mo, I don't know."

Huo Changhe said in a cold voice: "Forget it if you don't know."

"Kill him, what evidence do you need?" Huo Changhe waved his hand. "Drag him to the mass grave outside the city and chop him up on the spot."

"Yes."

The guards came over without giving any explanation, grabbed Master Bai and dragged him out.

When he saw that it was serious, he couldn't help but panic.

He struggled and refused to leave, but he was no match for the guards, and it was useless to struggle.

Half of his body was dragged out of the yard, and there was still no sign of stopping. Mr. Bai was sweating all over.

"Say, I'll say."

Even after being told, Huo Changhe ignored him and didn't stop.

The guards continued to move forward without slowing down.

Mr. Bai raised his voice: "I say, I say, Your Majesty, Princess!"

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"I said! Yes, I know Mr. Mo. We came to Youcheng because of Mr. Mo's order."

Liu Chengzhi, who was in the other yard, heard it clearly. As soon as he heard the wolf-howling voice, he knew that Mr. Bai couldn't hold on.

He closed his eyes, knowing that the game was over.

In fact, the person Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe really wanted to interrogate was not him.

But it was Liu Chengzhi.

The gate of the courtyard opened, and Liu Chengzhi looked at Yan Ruyu, extremely puzzled - where did this woman get the ability to capture so many of them? Anyone who showed any clues would die in her hands.

Now, it was her turn.

Without waiting for Yan Ruyu to ask, Liu Chengzhi spoke up: "Whatever the princess wants to ask, I will tell you as long as I know it."

"Smart," Yan Ruyu nodded, "Then let's start with the mountains."

Liu Chengzhi was stunned. He thought Yan Ruyu was asking about the gambling house, Mr. Bai, Yuanwei Escort Agency, Gong Yanghua, or even rape and murder, Shuanghua.

I never expected it to be a mountain.

Liu Chengzhi pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I thought the princess wanted to ask me about Shuanghua."

"Isn't this obvious? You and Mr. Bai are the flower thieves."

Huo Changhe's voice was as cold as ice: "You have committed crimes more than once, but originally you did not commit crimes in the city, but in the villages around Youcheng. Moreover, there is no special pattern, and the crowds are not single, so not many have been exposed."

"That allowed you to escape for so long."

"You beasts, you have killed so many people and you are still smug about it. You call yourself Shuanghua, shameless!"

This is the investigation result about Mr. Bai brought back by the secret guard sent by Huo Changhe.

Liu Chengzhi lowered his eyes and said, "As for Shan, I only know that he is a member of the Youcheng Army, but I don't know who he is specifically."

"A few days ago, I received a letter from him asking me to give him the recent account notes of the gambling house."

Yan Ruyu thought, considering the gambling house’s account and the small amount of money, it should have been handed over.

Sure enough.

"Should we give it to him all the time, or just this time?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"It has always been like this. He holds a higher position than me. When we came to Youcheng, the master ordered us to obey Shan."

Huo Changhe asked: "Where are you from?"

"Our ancestors were also Han Chinese, but our fathers went to the outside of the Great Wall. We were born there, grew up back inside the Great Wall, and lived in Shanghai for a long time."

"This time I came to Youcheng from Shencheng."

Huo Changhe has always had a hidden worry in his heart. There must be hidden dangers in Shencheng. In addition to Mr. Mo, there is also a traitor who has been lurking.

These people are from Shencheng, and I’m afraid they are all related to this person.

"Is your master Mr. Mo or..."

"No, we are insignificant and have little influence. How can we be Mr. Mo's subordinates? Only our master is qualified to meet him."

"Who is your master?" Huo Changhe appeared calm on the surface, but was actually a little nervous.

I want to know the answer, but I'm afraid it's a name I once knew.

He has lived there for too long, and so many of his men are there.

No matter who it is, it will make him sad.

Liu Chengzhi shook his head: "I don't know."

"I really don't know. We haven't met many times. When we did, he was fully armed and we couldn't see his true face."

Huo Changhe's heart sank.

Yan Ruyu noticed his emotions and took over the conversation: "What is the purpose of your coming to Youcheng this time?"

"We arrived before the prince and princess entered the city. We didn't have any important mission. We just lay low in the dark and observed the palace."

"Look at the prince's whereabouts, daily habits, daily routine, etc., and report it once in a while."

Liu Chengzhi looked up at Huo Changhe.

Obviously there is something left unsaid.

"Speak!" Huo Changhe shouted.

"At that time, Shen Huaixin was still there. The master meant that we should observe first and then secretly find a way to intensify the conflict between you and Shen Huaixin."

The reason was very simple. Even if Liu Cheng didn't say it, Huo Changhe could guess it.

The more fiercely he fought with Shen Huaixin, the more strained his relationship with the military became, and the less likely he would be able to control the city defense army.

He had no soldiers, so even if he had the title of prince, it was just an empty title.

Furthermore, he and Shen Huaixin, regardless of Shen Huaixin's reputation and character, are both tigers after all.

When two tigers are fighting, someone is watching the fire from the other side.

The consequences would be terrible.

Huo Changhe was frightened by the person behind the scenes' clear understanding of the situation and his vicious intentions.

This person must be eliminated.

Yan Ruyu asked, "You gave the things to Shan, but you didn't meet him?"

"No, he always puts it at the place he specifies, and he sends someone to pick it up. And the place he specifies is different every time."

"Where is the designated place this time?"

Liu Chengzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't speak for a while.

Yan Ruyu looked at his expression and suddenly thought of something.

"Is this the place where the rape and murder took place?"

A look of surprise flashed across Liu Chengzhi's eyes.

This woman... is too smart.

Yan Ruyu suddenly realized.

No wonder Yu Xiaoran thought that it was because of him that Yu's eldest sister-in-law was led to that shabby yard. It was dark and she couldn't see clearly, so she mistook Mr. Bai for him. Only later did she see clearly that it was not him.

In fact, it’s not that he admitted his mistake, but that he was there from the beginning.

He placed the things he wanted to hand over there, and then the tragedy happened, and he left calmly.

The place is dilapidated and has been deserted for a long time. If someone finds unknown footprints and traces there, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

But it’s different if a rape and murder happens there. It’s chaotic and noisy, and no one will care even if there are a few traces.

He not only hid things and used them to cover his tracks, but also pushed Mr. Bai out to test the direction of the city's wind.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
