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

Chapter 1879: Waiting for the Rabbit

Yan Ruyu listened as Zhao Laosan continued to speak.

"After a while, I realized that although he had a scent, it was not because he loved scent."

"He is using incense to cover up a smell."

Zhao Laosan originally wanted to keep it a secret, but when he saw Yan Ruyu's gaze, which seemed to see through everything he was thinking, he quickly lowered his head.

He continued honestly, "I smelled a smoky smell on him once... it was very faint, but it was still there."

Yan Ruyu remained calm and asked, "Have you ever seen him use this kind of thing?"

"That's not the case," Zhao Laosan thought for a moment, "I've only smelled it twice, but I've never seen him make these things."

"This man is quite cruel. I dare not ask more questions."

Yan Ruyu asked, "Haven't you ever seen his true face? We only met in your shop every time, so how could you tell that he was ruthless?"

Zhao Laosan said awkwardly: "Well, this is just based on feeling and experience..."

He cleared his throat. "Sometimes the women I look for are married women. Although I am lustful, I also value my life. I always have to see if their husbands are easy to mess with."

"Anyway... you can tell."

He spoke implicitly, but Yan Ruyu understood.

The impression of a scumbag is added with another aspect: shamelessness.

It is not easy to reach his level.

Seeing that Yan Ruyu didn't ask any more questions, Zhao Laosan asked cautiously, "Princess, did he get away? Didn't you catch him?"

Zhao Laosan didn't care about the man's life or death. What he cared about was whether he could be released if he could not make up for his crime with meritorious service.

Yan Ruyu sneered: "Don't ask about this, it's not your business."

Zhao Laosan smiled flatteringly: "Princess, I have told you everything I know, and I will definitely repent. From now on, I will be an honest person and do business in a responsible manner. I will never do a bad thing again. Please show mercy and let me go."

Yan Ruyu looked at him sarcastically: "Zhao Laosan, this princess is not a Bodhisattva, I will not show mercy."

"What you did, taking hostages, colluding with evil thieves, and intending to harm Youcheng, do you think you will have a future?"

"Stop deceiving women and cheating people out of their money."

"Compared to that, those are nothing."

Zhao Laosan's smile froze, and his eyes widened: "Princess, before..."

That's not what I said before.

"Did this princess say before that she would let you go?"

Zhao Laosan was stunned. This was indeed not the case.

After this interrogation, Yan Ruyu realized that Zhao Laosan no longer had any useful information.

He turned and walked out: "Take him to the governor's mansion, have him sign and seal his confession, and then deal with him according to the law."

"Yes!"

According to the law, there is no possibility of getting out.

Yan Ruyu was about to return to the courtyard when Huo Changhe came towards her.

"Yu'er, there's news about that guy."

"So fast?" Yan Ruyu was surprised.

I thought I would have to hide for a few days anyway.

"He may have known that the situation was tense and wanted to leave quickly, or he may have been particularly confident in his ability to disguise himself."

Huo Changhe chuckled: "Anyway, the truth was revealed in that bank."

"The secret guards have also investigated the background of that bank. It was founded 20 years ago by a man named Zhang. Now it is in the hands of his son. It is not a big bank and is doing honest business. There is nothing wrong with it."

"I also asked the Qian family's bank, and they didn't have a bad impression of him. The governor's office said that this bank had contributed to disaster relief several times before."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "That's good."

If it is true, they can cooperate in the future. She hopes that all the businesses in the city are clean.

"The silver ingots have been notified to the bank. If anyone comes to exchange large amounts of silver bills, they will say that they don't have enough cash and need to wait two hours."

"Let's go and take a look." Yan Ruyu said immediately.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped near the Silver Trumpet.

Yan Ruyu lifted the curtain and looked outside. The bank’s facade was not particularly large, but it was very clean and it was obvious that it had been well maintained.

"Has anyone been here?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"She came here, an old woman," Huo Changhe said, "she came an hour ago, and another hour later will be the agreed time."

Yan Ruyu waited patiently.

I hope we can successfully catch this person and find out who is behind him.

Obviously, this person is not a big fish either. He was probably arranged here because he has a special ability to use fire.

Yan Ruyu said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Shen and You are two big cities in the northwest. Not to mention Shen, You also has a lot of Mr. Mo's influence in the city. The depth and breadth of the infiltration are shocking."

Huo Changhe's face darkened, and his tone was icy: "I understand what you mean. I have been thinking about this question these days."

"Big fish are fine, but people like Zhao Laosan are really hard to dig out and kill cleanly."

"It is possible that many of them were threatened or coerced, so we cannot generalize."

"I think that if we develop Youcheng well, and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and the people have no worries, they won't be easily deceived and lured by those with ulterior motives."

Yan Ruyu agreed deeply: "Your Majesty is right, that's exactly what I meant."

She gently held Huo Changhe's hand and said, "For the most treacherous and evil people, as well as people with bad character like Zhao Laosan, we should eradicate them completely. If they are civilians who are coerced into doing something, they are also victims."

Huo Changhe smiled at her and gently embraced her.

We understand each other, no words are needed.

Yan Ruyu had something else to say. Since she was asked to come to the northwest, to Youcheng, she would regard this place as hers.

She wants to build the Northwest into a country within a country.

Youcheng is the center, and she also wants Shencheng.

She wants to eradicate Mr. Mo's power completely.

If he can stick it in, she can pull it out!

Time passed little by little, and Yinding whispered outside the car: "Prince, Princess, someone is coming."

Yan Ruyu looked out of the car window and saw an old woman walking in with a crutch.

She switched her eyes and saw that there was still a sword hidden in her cane.

Looking at the disguised appearance again, it was indeed a man.

No need to look any further, it was him.

At this time, there were no customers in the bank, only the young master, the waiter and an accountant.

For safety reasons, the rest of the people were sent out.

The reason why these three people were not replaced was because this person had been here before, and they were afraid that if they replaced them, he would notice it and detect something.

However, Huo Changhe also made arrangements.

The door to the accounting office was locked, with only a high window. The gentleman was sitting inside. If there was a fight or a fireball outside, he could just close the high window immediately.

The waiter stood at the door and waited for the "old woman" to go in. The people arranged by Huo Changhe also pretended to be guests and followed in. The waiter came out to greet them and never went back.

The only one who might be a little dangerous is the young master.

Huo Changhe said softly: "He looks weak, but he is actually a courageous man."

"I wanted to find someone to change my appearance, but I didn't have enough time and I was afraid that my efforts would fail. He took the initiative to say that he was willing to give it a try."
