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

Chapter 172 Searching the Zhizhou Mansion

The carriage stopped at the small gate on the side of Zhizhou Mansion.

This door is specially used for shopping or delivering food and water carts.

The two drove in without anyone stopping them.

Huo Changhe had the topographic map given by the secret guard in his hand. When he got to the kitchen, someone came forward to move things.

Yan Ruyu said to Huo Changhe, "You watch here, I'll go look elsewhere."

Huo Changhe was startled and reached out to hold him.

Yan Ruyu patted him gently: "Don't worry, I'll be back in a quarter of an hour."

There are others here, so you can't speak loudly or say too much. Even though Huo Changhe is impatient, Yan Ruyu has already made up his mind.

Huo Changhe gave her the topographic map. She put it in her sleeve, walked through the paths, avoided people, and went to Zhizhou's study first.

There was no one in the study, and there was nothing useful when looking through the documents. Huo Changhe was right, this guy was just a mediocre official, doing nothing.

Yan Ruyu took his official seal and swept away the antiques in Duobao Pavilion, as well as the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

After searching, I couldn't find the secret door to the secret room. Instead, there was a two-foot-square secret compartment under the table, where several boxes of jewelry, money, and items were placed.

Collect them together and turn around to find the warehouse.

Antai Town is a prosperous town, and because of its special nature, the imperial court allocates money every year, and the prefecture draws a lot from it, as well as money, food, taxes, etc.

Therefore, even though the warehouse is not big, it is full of things.

Yan Ruyu also found several boxes of account books, which were records of his bribes to the capital in recent years.

This guy was so generous that he just threw these things in the warehouse.

Yan Ruyu flipped through it casually. This thing could be useful. If nothing else, people on it might be able to use it one day.

After collecting all the things, Yan Ruyu was ready to go find Huo Changhe.

When passing by a small garden, I heard the sound of silk bamboo drums.

Xun Sheng walked over and looked from behind the flowers and trees. He saw a fat white man sitting in the pavilion in front of him.

Holding the wine bottle in his hand, he looked at the woman dancing on the drum opposite.

The woman's figure was light and her dancing posture was graceful. Her face was covered with gauze, and only her eyes exposed were extremely attractive.

Several musicians were standing under the pavilion, playing and playing vigorously.

After dancing, the fat man waved the musicians to step down, then stepped forward to help the beauty off the drum.

"Be careful, don't fall."

After the words fell, the beauty slumped softly and fell into his arms: "My lord."

Yan Ruyu sneered silently: This is Lord Zhizhou. If there is such a big event outside, he will enjoy his comfort here.

"Dance well. When His Royal Highness King Yi arrives in the evening, you will dance this dance."

The beauty turned her head shyly: "Isn't this... okay? I belong to the master. You treat me with kindness, how can I serve others?"

"That is His Royal Highness King Yi, the prince."

"Don't talk about the prince," the beauty said with bright eyes, "not even the emperor! I only care about you."

Zhizhou hugged him heartbroken: "How could I not know your thoughts?

However, this time it is about my fate. The man named Wu usually bullies me, but now he has a serious illness. If I don't get on the big boat of His Highness King Yi, the man named Wu will definitely trample me to death. Jin'er, just do it for me, okay? "

The beauty's eyelashes filled with tears: "Is this so? If I can save the Lord, what's the matter even if Jin'er gives up her body!"

Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes and retreated silently.

Huo Changhe was anxious. When he saw her coming back, he hurriedly greeted her: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's go out and talk."

The two drove out of the house smoothly.

Yan Ruyu said: "I took his big seal. Since he doesn't make decisions for the people, there is no point in asking for the seal. Besides, King Yi will be here tonight."

Calculating the time, Yi Wang walked very fast along the way, and he should have been non-stop.

"That's great." Huo Changhe chuckled, "It's about time."

Yan Ruyu looked at him and smiled: "Wait for him to come."

Returning to the secret alley, I saw Yin Ding and Xi Bei Huo chatting animatedly.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Xibeiguo greeted them warmly: "You two are back? Do you need to change your appearance?"

Yan Ruyu vaguely felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and glanced at Yin Ding, who touched her nose and said nothing.

"Just restore your original appearance."

"okay!"

Xibeihuo agreed and started working, starting with Yan Ruyu first.

After Yan Ruyu finished cleaning up, she asked Yin Ding to throw the driver and the two stewards onto the carriage and give them the antidote, so they would wake up in less than a quarter of an hour.

In the alley, Huo Changhe asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Brother Tuo is teaching me how to be a good person."

Huo Changhe: "??"

The Xibei guy kept talking, "Let me make a new fake face for you. It won't hurt your skin and won't make you stuffy. If you want to go, just wipe it with a hot towel."

This is not bad.

Huo Changhe nodded in agreement.

After everything was packed, Yin Ding took the Xibei goods back, while Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned to their residence.

The carriage was abandoned at the intersection, along with the driver and two stewards.

They woke up just after Yan Ruyu left.

I was shocked when I woke up - my clothes were gone, and the basket in the car was gone.

Was this... robbed?

The three of them looked at each other, terrified and angry.

But now I don’t know who the other party is. If I tell this, I will definitely be laughed at.

The two stewards immediately decided that this matter could not be talked about and had to be kept in the stomach. As for the coachman, he did not dare to say a word even after being threatened by them.

As soon as Yan Ruyu came back, the eldest lady said to her: "Ruyu, you are back. Master Ma just asked Meng Mengliang to come to you, saying that there was something important."

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Yan Ruyu asked, "Did anything else happen?"

The eldest lady thought for a moment: "No, oh, by the way, didn't Yin Tuo go out? The second pot of medicine he cooked was given to Meng Mengliang before leaving."

"I know, the medicine has been brewed, just let it cool and distribute it."

"It hasn't been sent yet," said the eldest lady.

"Not yet?" Yan Ruyu was startled, "I'll ask."

She walked through the back door, and Meng Mengliang led people to guard the front door, unaware that she was back.

"Master Meng."

Meng Mengliang was anxious, turned around and saw her, and hurriedly greeted her: "Sister Yan, you are back. Brother Ma has something urgent to ask you."

"take me."

Yan Song basically didn't do anything these days. Apart from making regular appearances in the morning and evening and asking his subordinates to coordinate with the Imperial Army to guard the entry and exit points as Yan Ruyu said, Ma Liyu took care of everything else.

"Miss Yan," Ma Liyu said in a low and urgent voice, "There is something wrong with the medicine."

Yan Ruyu frowned: "What's the problem?"

Ma Liyu handed her a bowl of medicine: "I don't know what the problem is, but I think it tastes wrong and I can't tell."

Yan Ruyu picked up the bowl and smelled it, and smelled a bitter taste.

Although the previous medicine didn't taste good and was a little bitter, it definitely didn't taste like this.

In fact, many people cannot taste it, especially those who rarely drink medicine, and will not notice this change, but Yan Ruyu is different.

"There is indeed a problem. Something was added." Yan Ruyu put down the medicine bowl, "How did you find out? Has anyone drank it?"

Ma Liyu looked ashamed. Yan Ruyu assigned the matter to him, but he failed to do it well.

Meng Mengliang's face also turned pale. He was still lucky at first and didn't notice anything different. When Ma Liyu said it, he still felt that he was too nervous.

Now that Yan Ruyu was sure, he suddenly felt even more guilty.

"Sister Yan, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of her. Yintuo was left to me when she went out. I..."

"There are many people and things are complicated, so it is reasonable to not be able to take care of them for a while," Yan Ruyu said in a serious tone, "If there is a problem, solve the problem first, and apologize last."

She turned to Ma Liyu and asked: "Master Ma, you just said that someone has taken the medicine. Who is it?"
