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

When asked this question, Cheng Guanghan avoided his gaze.

"He just... used some kind of spell..."

Yan Ruyu attacked, raised the blade, and a flash of blood appeared.

Cheng Guanghan felt a chill and pain in his ears, and something suddenly fell in front of him.

Looking closely, it’s an ear!

His ears!

Cheng Guanghan realized it later and covered his ears, blood flowed from between his fingers and he howled in pain.

"Shut up," Yan Ruyu said, the tip of her knife was gleaming, "If you keep talking, I'll cut your neck with my next blow."

Cheng Guanghan's breath was choked, and he trembled in pain: "He has a special needle, which is long and thin. After piercing into special parts of the human body, it can have different effects. Some can make people sleep, some can make people obedient, and some can make people feel no pain."

"For A-Yao, he used the obedient method. He said that when the time comes, he will take out the needle and be just like an ordinary person."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other. It sounded like the same method Taohua used to deal with the abbot.

Could it be that they are the same kind of people?

However, Taohua said at the time that she had not learned the skills very well, as it was the saint who taught her, and the great wizard was a man.

Could it be that he also learned it from the Saint?

"Besides that, what else is there about the Archmage?"

"Hobbies, flaws, characteristics, everything counts."

Cheng Guanghan tried hard to think, but couldn't come up with anything.

The crying in the room stopped and Mrs. Cheng came out with tears still on her face.

She stumbled to Cheng Guanghan, looked at his ears, and tears fell again.

"Master, you must like to drink, Tianlun Brew."

"How do you know?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"He has only been in the mansion for two days, and I have seen him twice going out of the mansion to buy wine. Both times he carried Tianlun wine."

"Tianlun Brew is a special brew made by Xianrenju in the city. The boss learned how to brew it because the boss's wife loves to drink that kind of wine."

Yan Ruyu asked, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Before...I forgot because I was scared for a moment."

Finally, there was some clue. Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe planned to go to Xianrenju to inquire about the situation.

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw several maids and servants coming to look for Mrs. Cheng.

Yan Ruyu glanced at their faces and stopped.

"May I have your name."

The maid who was asked quickly replied: "My servant Qiu Lian."

Huo Changhe didn't pay attention to these people, but when he saw Qiu Lian, surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Do you have other sisters?"

"Yes, my younger sister, Twin Winter Grass, works for the young lady."

The face under the hood appeared in front of Yan Ruyu. It was the face of a woman who had died in the forest outside the city, but her name was unknown.

She is 90% similar to Qiu Lian in front of her.

Yan Ruyu remained calm: "Where's the person? Call her over."

Qiu Lian lowered her head and said, "I don't know where she went. I haven't seen her since the young lady got married."

Yan Ruyu turned around and went into the yard with them.

Mrs. Cheng was helping Cheng Guanghan up and seemed to say something, but when she saw Yan Ruyu coming back, she hurriedly lowered her head.

"Mrs. Cheng, where is Dongcao?"

Mrs. Cheng first glanced at Qiulian, then looked away: "I don't know where she went."

Yan Ruyu walked towards Cheng Guanghan with a knife in hand. Cheng Guanghan's eyes widened and he subconsciously hid behind Madam Cheng.

Madam Cheng also understood Yan Ruyu's intention, and quickly protected her, her voice shrill: "I said, I said, Dongcao is dead!"

Qiulian suddenly raised her head and said in disbelief, "Madam, Dongcao died? When? How come I didn't know?"

Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips and said nothing, ignoring Qiu Lian completely.

Yan Ruyu shouted, "Speak!"

Mrs. Cheng was so frightened that she trembled and cried, "It's not me, it's none of my business, I don't..."

She wanted to say she didn't know, but Yan Ruyu pointed a knife at Cheng Guanghan.

Cheng Guanghan was helpless and said fearfully, "It was my father's idea. He was worried that the news would leak out, and the servants would gossip about the great wizard, so he had all the maids and servants who served A Yao taken out of the city and killed."

Qiulian burst into tears.

Yan Ruyu looked at Cheng Guanghan with disgust and contempt: "You are so despicable and shameless. Your entire Cheng family is the same."

"Cheng Guanghan, do you think that just because your father is dead, you can put all the blame on him and everything will be fine?"

"You know the great wizard, and you invited him. You also know his abilities. Whose idea was it? Do you think I am a fool?"

"Cheng Shichuan's death was not unjust, and neither were yours."

Yan Ruyu turned and left, and walked out of Cheng Mansion with Huo Changhe.

"I don't want to set foot in this filthy place again."

"I'll have someone notify the governor's mansion to take them away and interrogate them strictly." Huo Changhe said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Cheng Guanghan killed so many maids and servants. He will be punished."

Although the slaves had signed a contract to sell themselves, if they were punished to death and no one pursued the matter, perhaps they could still cover it up, but with so many people at once, it would not be in vain.

Furthermore, given the Cheng family’s style of doing things and their nature, they have done far more than just this one evil thing.

In the first trial, you can always find out the truth.

"Go to the Immortal Residence."

Yan Ruyu was extremely anxious. She didn't know whether there was any news outside the city or whether his whereabouts had been found.

Xianrenju has some reputation in the city. As Mrs. Cheng said, most of the wines in this wine shop are brewed by the owner himself. It is said that several recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. They only sell three or five kinds of wine, among which Tianlunniang is the most famous.

We found Xianrenju. The shop was not too big, but it was clean and tidy. The waiter had a smile on his face and looked very smart.

"Waiter, is the shopkeeper here?"

"Yes, in the backyard. What do you need?" the boy asked with a smile.

"Has anyone dressed strangely come to buy alcohol recently, wearing a black robe and a hood?"

The young man thought for a moment and said, "No."

"you sure?"

"The attire you are talking about must be very special. If I had seen it before, I would definitely remember it. It is definitely not there."

That makes sense.

"Then where else can I buy Tianlun wine besides here?"

Just as the clerk was about to speak, a voice came over: "There is no other place besides this one."

Yan Ruyu turned around and saw a man in his thirties walking in with a jar of wine in his hand.

The jar is not big, shiny black, covered with yellow mud, and unopened. There is a small red word "Fu" on the jar.

The man was handsome, fair-skinned, with a small black beard. He wore a grey gown with fine stitching and a purse embroidered with a bamboo on his waist.

He is not a wealthy person, but he is mature and reserved, and he has enough food and clothing, so he should be a man with a rich heart.

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly, and the man stepped forward and bowed: "My Lord, Princess, I didn't know you two were coming, and I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."

The young man was also slightly surprised and quickly followed suit.

"Do you know us?" Huo Changhe asked.

"Everyone in the city knows what the prince and princess want to say. Just tell them clearly."
