At the intersection, where there are many people, a person suddenly fell from the second floor of a teahouse.

The people below screamed and ran away quickly. When they turned around and took a closer look, the man was already dead.

There were so many people gathered here to watch the fun that the road was blocked.

The people sent by Huo Changhe were about to pass by and had to squeeze through the crowd.

He squeezed his way from the east to the west in the crowd. Yan Ruyu happened to be at the west side of the crowd and saw him at a glance.

Seeing the crowd again and hearing passers-by say that someone was being taken away, Yan Ruyu's heart tightened and she hurriedly walked a few steps faster.

Seeing her anxious expression, her subordinates were also startled and rushed over.

When the two met, they asked in unison: "Is the prince okay?" "Is the princess okay?"

"Princess, the prince is fine. The prince asked me to invite you to the shop. I think we have some clues."

Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed him through the crowd again.

At this time, someone said that they wanted to report to the police. Yan Ruyu didn't care about that at this time and thought that as long as someone went to report to the police, it would be good enough.

The person who was going to report to the police came out, and the crowd parted. Yan Ruyu glanced inside and saw the corpse.

The deceased was a big and strong man with a beard. Yan Ruyu felt that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

The head of the family following behind Yan Ruyu whispered, "Princess, this man is the coachman."

Yan Ruyu remembered, yes, before going to Cheng's house this morning, she saw a coachman driving a cart and having a conflict with a peddler.

The peddler blocked the way of the carriage, and the driver yelled at him so loudly that half the street could hear it.

At that time, Yan Ruyu heard passers-by say that it was the carriage of Deputy General Fang's family. She also asked Huo Changhe if he knew who Deputy General Fang was. Huo Changhe said he didn't know.

Yan Ruyu stopped, walked forward, and looked carefully. She saw that there seemed to be a faint scar from the man's chin to behind his ear.

Yes, that's the driver.

The driver was lying on the ground with blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

The eldest boss looked up at the second floor, then at the corpse, frowned and said, "At this height, it shouldn't fall so cleanly."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "That's common sense, but it doesn't rule out special circumstances, such as landing head first, then it's not a matter of height."

The boss nodded and said yes.

Yan Ruyu didn't have time to stay any longer and had to leave first.

When I was walking quickly towards the spice shop, I saw some yamen runners going over to check.

When she entered the shop, Huo Changhe was waiting for her and told her the news.

"Peddler?" Yan Ruyu was surprised.

"Your Highness, do you know that on my way here just now, I saw someone fall to his death. It was the driver of Deputy General Fang's family."

Huo Changhe made eye contact with her, and both of them immediately realized that this was unusual.

This peddler appears too often.

Yan Ruyu immediately asked someone to prepare paper and asked the two shopkeepers, Li and Su, to describe the peddler's appearance in detail.

The two didn't understand why, but they still explained it in detail.

When they saw that as they described, the portrait of the peddler appeared little by little under Yan Ruyu's pen, they were all wide-eyed in shock.

"Like, this is too much like it, that's exactly it."

"Yes, there is a small mole here," Shopkeeper Li pointed to the chin of the portrait.

The other shopkeepers also gathered around and were amazed at Yan Ruyu's ability to paint portraits.

After making a few simple changes and finding almost no difference, Yan Ruyu handed the portrait to Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe immediately ordered someone to look for him and called the teahouse owner over.

The teahouse owner had just finished replying to the yamen runner and was trembling with fear. When he saw Huo Changhe again, his legs went weak.

Yan Ruyu painted two portraits here.

"Look, have you seen this person before?" Yan Ruyu asked, "Think carefully, was this person also there when that person fell?"

The teahouse owner looked at it carefully and said, "It looks familiar. I have seen it before. Today..."

His mind was a little confused. There were too many guests every day and it was really impossible for him to remember them all.

Shopkeeper Li reminded: "This person has some difficulty walking."

When he said this, the teahouse owner remembered: "Oh, yes, there was such a person, but he was not wearing clothes like this, so I didn't remember it for a while."

Yan Ruyu asked, "What is he wearing?"

"It's a martial arts suit, the kind of clothes warriors wear."

A peddler and a warrior, there is a huge difference between the two.

Yan Ruyu lowered her eyes and looked at the painting, thinking quickly.

The peddler appears as a weak person, but that doesn’t mean he is really a weak person.

Because he was scolded by the driver, he held a grudge against him and took advantage of the opportunity when the driver was drinking tea in the teahouse to kill him as a revenge.

On the surface, it makes sense, but killing someone for a few words? This person is too extreme.

However, if the great wizard in Cheng Fengyao's family is related to this person, then it is expected that he would do something crazy.

The teahouse owner sighed, "Although Liu Si has a bad temper, he is still a good person. He often comes to my place for tea. Today is even more special. He must have not eaten since this morning, so he has time to come to my place for a few snacks."

At this hour, lunch has not yet been served, so we have to leave early and can only go to the teahouse to order some snacks to fill our stomachs.

"Why is today special?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"I heard that Madam Fang was about to give birth, but it was a difficult birth. The midwife they had originally arranged disappeared for some reason, so the Fang family was looking for a midwife everywhere. Liu Si was an elder in the Fang family, so he was naturally anxious, and he had been looking for a midwife everywhere since he got up in the morning."

It turned out to be the case.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe both remembered how anxious Liu Si was the last time they met him.

It turned out that he was in a hurry to find a midwife for his mistress, so he was so anxious that he cursed the peddler without thinking.

But he never imagined that a few bad words would bring him death.

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but sigh that sometimes, the weak are not necessarily weak, and the fierce people are not necessarily bad people.

However, it is still just speculation now, and there is no evidence whether the peddler killed Liu Si.

Just as she was about to go out to look for it, a mynah bird flew over and landed on Yan Ruyu's arm.

Judging from its appearance, it seems to have something to say, but there are so many people here that it is inconvenient to speak.

Yan Ruyu turned to a secluded room and said, "Speak."

"Liujiazhuang, Liujiazhuang!"

"Is there any news from Liujiazhuang?"

Yan Ruyu was delighted. If there was any unusual movement in Liujiazhuang, it might be related to Jiang Tangli's whereabouts.

She immediately left the house and talked to Huo Changhe outside. Huo Changhe immediately ordered people to prepare fast horses, and the two of them headed straight out of the city.

At the city gate, we met Yinding and others who had returned.

We searched the area within several miles of the grove, but found nothing except the previous clues.

Beibei said: "But there is one thing that is a little strange, we are not sure."

"There was a road originally, but it suddenly became a dead end. We asked the local residents nearby and they said there was a big earthquake and rocks fell, blocking the road."
