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

Chapter 1687 The Mysterious Merchant

Mu Wu's funeral was low-key yet grand.

Everyone in the mansion who knew him came to burn incense.

Yan Ruyu spent a large sum of money and asked the Qian family's shopkeeper to help her buy a good coffin. The abbot also recited the sutra for the deceased's soul-saving and burned several Buddhist scriptures.

This surprised and moved Song Ping and others. Zhao Liang and others also secretly vowed to serve the palace well and be loyal to the prince and princess.

To be honest, they had been in the martial arts world for many years and had long been prepared for death. Although Mu Wu died, it must be said that his fate was many times better than what they had expected.

If it were still the way it was in the past, perhaps the body would be left exposed in the wilderness and turned into bones, and no one would care.

When they saw Mu Wu being buried, they felt like they were seeing their own end - if that was the case, then there was nothing to be afraid of.

Yan Ruyu stood in front of the grave: "Although Mu Wu is dead, the prince and this princess will never let his death be in vain."

"I will seek justice for him."

Zhao Liang and the other two stood up again: "Princess, we followed the order of the prince to bring back Mu Wu's body. Now that we have completed the mission, we beg you to allow us to go to Shencheng again!"

"Let's go to Shencheng again!"

Yan Ruyu did not refuse: "Alright, it is thanks to your special forces that Mu Wu's body was safely sent back. We will go to Shencheng later after we have replenished the necessary supplies!"

"Yes!"

The three men were full of fighting spirit and would not retreat even if they died in Shencheng.

They went to prepare things, and Yan Ruyu wrote a letter and asked them to take it to Huo Changhe.

Let Huo Changhe rest assured and not worry about family matters, and also let him pay more attention to the Qiu family and tell him about the discoveries here.

Yan Ruyu also noticed something unusual about Mu Wu's corpse, especially the "dead people" mentioned by Huo Changhe in his last letter. She remembered that the time General Wen "resurrected from the dead" was because there was a strange worm in his body.

She wondered if this time was similar to that time.

So, I asked Miaomiao to come and take a look.

As expected, Miaomiao was shocked when she saw it, and said that Mu Wu did not die from weapons or hidden weapons.

It is an extremely rare insect with a hard shell covered with thorns.

Yan Ruyu got goosebumps when she heard this, but it also confirmed her guess.

She asked Miaomiao for a solution, and Miaomiao said she had to go back and make some medicinal powder, which might take several days and require repeated experiments.

Yan Ruyu could understand this. Making a medicine was not an easy task, let alone something so strange.

She immediately told Miaomiao not to have any psychological burden and to focus on research and to fully cooperate with anything needed.

Miaomiao also asked about Doctor Cao. The two of them had already become close friends, so they were naturally very worried.

Yan Ruyu assured him that Doctor Cao would be back soon, so he left with peace of mind.

Yan Ruyu wrote all these in the letter and reminded Huo Changhe not to confront that strange person head-on if he met one, and to send it to him as soon as Miaomiao developed the medicine powder.

He called the abbot over, took some spiritual spring water, packed it into several mineral water bottles, and asked Zhao Liang and the others to take it with them on the journey.

In addition, some essential medicines for treatment were also supplemented.

As it grew darker, Zhao Liang and his men quietly left the city and headed straight for Shencheng.

……

In Shencheng, another mysterious drug dealer appeared. It was said that he came from outside the Great Wall. He had a big beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and wore a foreign hat on his head. There were more than a dozen gems inlaid on it.

He was extremely generous and bought a shop on the most prosperous street in Shencheng, which was opposite the Qian family pharmacy. He threatened to buy up all the herbs in Shencheng. As long as someone gave them to him, he would take them and settle the payment on the spot.

Even a big shop like Qian's Pharmacy closed half of its door and did not compete with them.

This shows that even the Qian family cannot compete with them.

This made many small drug dealers very upset, and they regretted that they sold too early a few days ago and lost a lot of profit.

But it did not stop them from spreading the news, and in a short time, the whole city knew about it.

Xiao Chiye also heard about it, and frowned, "Have you found out? What's the origin?"

His deputy general Lu Tai said: "Not yet, but making such a commotion at this time is probably not a good thing."

"How about I arrest the man and interrogate him first?"

Xiao Chiye glanced at him and said, "What crime did he commit? What crime did he break?"

Lu Tai snorted: "We need to catch him, what else..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Chiye slammed his face and slammed the table: "Asshole! What are you talking about? What are we? Are we bandits?"

Lu Tai quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "General, it is my fault. I will never say anything nonsense again."

"Just don't talk nonsense? If you don't think so, how can you say that?" Xiao Chiye scolded, "Am I too good to you, so that you don't know your own limitations and forget your responsibilities!"

Seeing that he was really angry, Lu Tai was also a little scared, and quickly knelt down: "General, please calm down. I was in a hurry at the moment, and I dare not really have such thoughts."

"Get out and take thirty military sticks!"

"Yes."

Without saying a word, Lu Tai went outside, took off his clothes and accepted his punishment.

Xiao Chiye was in a bad mood, but he suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down.

Should I report this to the prince? He always felt that this matter was not simple.

However, the prince repeatedly reminded him not to show up and not to leak the news.

He couldn't just go to the prince for every little thing.

When the prince handed Shencheng over to him, he repeatedly promised that he would manage Shencheng well.

But now...things keep happening one after another, how can he have the nerve to ask the prince for help in everything.

He had to do something to reassure the prince.

This drug dealer needs to be investigated, but not openly.

"Somebody come!"

People were shouting on the streets, and people were talking about basically the same thing in teahouses and pubs.

"Have you heard? That herbal medicine shop not only sells herbs, but also provides free medical treatment."

"I heard about it. Besides, the doctor is a miracle doctor."

"That's right. My neighbor's wife's uncle's son had a long-standing illness, but he recovered after a few injections."

"And Mr. Li, who always coughs, will be fine after taking two doses of medicine."

"They charge such a high price for medicine, but they also provide free medical treatment. They are really kind people."

Xiao Chiye heard it clearly, took a sip of tea, and sneered secretly, "Good guy?"

not necessarily.

Just like what the people said, he charges high prices for medicine while providing free medical treatment, what is the purpose? Just to make the people think he is a good person?

How could those businessmen get up early without profit?

There must be a reason for this.

Xiao Chiye said to his men beside him: "Go and take a look."

He can't go now because his face is too familiar. If he goes, there's no guarantee that he won't alert the enemy.

Let my subordinates investigate first to see what the trick is.

"Don't worry, Grand Commander. I'm ready."

Lu Ren was wearing casual clothes today and did not bring a knife. There was a small cart outside with some medicinal herbs on it.

He planned to deliver some medicinal materials and then ask the miracle doctor to check the illness.
