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

Hou Bulai's brain has never worked so fast in his life.

Cold sweat rolled down my back like soybeans, and the sweat on my back soaked my inner clothes.

But he couldn't care less.

What are the characteristics of that person?

He had only seen him twice, both times at night. He was wearing a big black cloak that covered his head and face, so he couldn't see any of his special features.

But if he couldn't answer now, he would be severely punished.

You have to answer.

Just as he was racking his brains, Yan Ruyu said slowly, "Drag him away."

Song Ping's hand never left Hou Bulai's collar, and he started to pull him again after hearing what he said.

Hou Bulai's voice was split: "Leaves, leaves!"

“That guy can blow leaves!”

Yan Ruyu's eyes were slightly cold as she recalled the night she stayed at the governor's residence. In the middle of the night, someone passed by her yard and she could vaguely hear a whistle.

Leaves? Blow the leaves!

Yan Ruyu waved her hand and Song Ping stopped again.

"Think again."

Hou Bulai was breathing rapidly and his brains were about to burst out.

"He had... calluses on his hands. He was holding a leaf. It was winter and leaves were rare. I noticed the calluses on his fingers."

Huo Changhe asked: "Which finger?"

Literati who have been writing for a long time and warriors who have been practicing martial arts for a long time have calluses on their hands, but their status are very different.

"Yes... thumb, index finger and middle finger, yes, that's right."

Hou Bulai swallowed his saliva.

Yan Ruyu raised her hand and Song Ping dragged Hou Bulai back.

He was thin, and his bones were rubbed and scratched on the steps, which was very uncomfortable.

But he was full of joy. The pain was nothing. At least his eyes were saved.

After dragging them to the steps, Yan Ruyu asked again: "Besides this, what else is there?"

Hou Bulai actually couldn’t remember anything. This was already his limit.

I didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Just when I was getting nervous, something flew over my head.

A shrill voice rang out: "Drag him away and dig out his eyes!"

Hou Bulai shuddered and was almost scared to death. He looked up and saw a black starling standing on the door frame.

"Oh my, the sky is falling, the earth is sinking, and your eyes are going blind."

Hou Bulai: “…” As expected, the world outside is very dangerous. Not only do people bully him, but even birds bully him!

"I remember now!" Hou Bulai said hurriedly, "He is left-handed, yes, that's right."

Yan Ruyu was stunned. Mr. Mo is not left-handed.

On the contrary, his left hand was injured and should be inconvenient, so he used his right hand more.

Yan Ruyu felt a little depressed and disappointed. In fact, she hoped that this person was Mr. Mo, and she could find him by looking for clues, or lure him out with a trick.

Catch him and all will be well.

It’s better than not knowing where he is going now, like a drop in the ocean.

Her hands felt warm and Huo Changhe gently held her hand.

"What kind of leaf is that in his hand?" Huo Changhe asked.

This question is critical.

Green leaves are hard to find in this season. Even if there are evergreen trees in the mountains, most of them have needle-shaped leaves like pine and cypress.

And it is obviously not the needle-shaped leaves that are needed to make a loud whistle.

If you can find leaves, you can narrow it down.

Hou Bulai thought carefully and said, "It is a slightly longer, narrower, and long strip. I don't know what kind of leaves it is..."

He wanted to say I don't know either, but he was afraid that Huo Changhe would think he was worthless and kill him again.

"I don't really know what it's called, but if I see it again, I can recognize it."

Yan Ruyu understood his little thoughts, but she didn't really want to blind him. It's just that this kind of person would not behave himself unless he was taught a lesson.

"In that case," Yan Ruyu said slowly, with a strong sense of pressure, "then think about it carefully. In an hour, I will give you a pen and paper. Tell you how you know this person, how you contacted him, how many times you met him, and what you said. Write it down in detail."

"If you can't write well, not only will your eyes go blind..."

Mynah bird took over the conversation: "My hand is useless, useless!"

"That's right, your eyes will be blinded and your hands will be disabled," Yan Ruyu said with every word as sharp as a knife, "If you dare to escape, your legs will be broken too."

"This princess is kindhearted and will not take your life at will or let you die easily."

Hou Bulai: “…” It’s better to die than to live.

But he didn't dare to talk back, he could only bow his head and nod repeatedly.

Huo Changhe waved his hand, and Song Ping took him away. A cold voice came from behind him: "One hour."

Hearing the time being emphasized, Hou Bulai wished he could leave quickly.

He was taken away, leaving only Li Jingyao and Wen Zhiyan in the hall.

"What was the result of this search? Any clues?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Li Jingyao cupped his hands and said, "We did get some results. We didn't go to all the homes of the villagers whose bodies were missing, but we went to most of them. All the bodies found were men."

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and her fingers unconsciously stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Are they all men?"

"Yes, there were women dead, both old and young, but none were missing."

"Among them, there was a couple who fell into the mountain and died when the mountain road was destroyed by a heavy snowstorm, causing the ground to collapse. But the strange thing is that the man's body was missing, but the woman's body was not touched."

This is indeed strange, and the purpose is obvious.

It means stealing a male corpse.

Huo Changhe asked: "Are the valuables still in the robbed tomb?"

Judging from the current situation, tomb robbers are definitely not after money, but if there are lost properties with obvious characteristics, they may serve as clues.

Li Jingyao took out a list and said, "Your Highness, what you are thinking is very reasonable. This is the list of property that was stolen along with the body. You can send someone to track it down."

Huo Changhe took it and handed it to Yan Ruyu.

"That's easy. Give it to the pawnshop owner Shen and ask him to keep an eye out for it."

Last time when the Cheng mother and daughter pawned their jewelry, Manager Shen did a great job, and Yan Ruyu had a better impression of him.

The Qian family pawnshop is a big pawnshop, and all the peers give it some face, both in the open market and in the dark market.

In other words, as long as these things appear in Youcheng, whether they are sold in pawnshops or circulated in the dark market, the news can be obtained.

"In addition," Huo Changhe took over the conversation and took out a handkerchief from his arms. When he opened the handkerchief, there was a small piece of green thing inside.

"Yu'er," Huo Changhe continued, "I originally asked the secret guards to check the place where Jiang Tangli was scratched and bitten. This morning, Governor Cao came to me and said that he was also responsible for this incident and wanted to send someone to check it out, so I went with him."

“This is what was found at the scene.”

Yan Ruyu reached out to take it, but Huo Changhe didn't let her touch it.

"We don't know what it is yet, so don't touch it."

Yan Ruyu nodded and moved closer to take a look. Before she got too close, she smelled a strange and unpleasant odor.

It not only stinks, but also has a sour and fishy smell.

She covered it with her sleeve, took out a pair of tweezers, picked it up gently, and looked at it in the sunlight outside.

She couldn't help but wonder: "Is this... a piece of armor?"
