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

Huo Changhe hummed.

"Silver charcoal, that's the kind of charcoal only used in the palace, and she deserves it."

"It's not a good thing, but the eldest son buys it for her every year," Feng Shao said. "If nothing else, the eldest son is really filial. He is willing to spend a lot of money to buy charcoal in winter and ice in summer."

"And these are all done by the eldest son in person. Every year in midsummer and early June, the eldest son has to go in person regardless of the heat."

Huo Changhe asked: "Where does he go to buy it?"

"Tan should have a special connection. I have never paid attention to this aspect and do not know anything about it. If you want to check, I can go back and investigate secretly. As for Bing, it is the Bing Department in the west of the city. They belong to the city guard army and are a separate group. Small Yamen."

Huo Changhe naturally knew this. The city guards usually had nothing to do. In addition to training, they could also do some business to ease the country's fee shortage.

For example, the Ice Department was separated from them. It is not easy to make ice. Ordinary merchants do not have ice cellars and cannot store them, but the city guards do. Therefore, in summer, only they can sell ice, which is also a big source of income.

"The ice used by Yongchang County Master is different from the ordinary ones. It is said that some flower water must be added," Feng Shao continued, "So the eldest son went there in person and kept an eye on the ice for several days until he saw the ice coming out of the warehouse."

Yin Ding rolled her eyes, she was really capable, the eldest lady was a princess, she had never done this before, running such a large palace in an orderly manner was what it was like to be a mistress of the house. Not like that woman!

Yan Ruyu was deep in thought, and when Bee Whistle was about to say something else, Yan Ruyu asked, "You said, he only stares at the ice in June?"

"Exactly," Bee Whistle said without thinking, "I can be sure of this."

"What about this year?"

"That's the same," the whistle said firmly, "and I remember that the day the eldest son sets out is the eighth day of the lunar month."

Yan Ruyu immediately asked: "Why are you so sure?"

Huo Changhe's heart was also lifted.

The whistle continued: "Because on the afternoon of the eighth day of June, the villain happened to be returning to the city from a mission. The eldest son returned the reward. The villain left the house to save money at the bank. The eldest son also wanted to leave the house. There was a singer at the door. The old beggar in Bange said a few auspicious words and mentioned that everything will go well on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month. The eldest son was happy and even gave the old beggar a red envelope. The old beggar thanked him profusely and the villain was deeply impressed."

As he spoke, he took out a small money bag from his pocket and found a note for depositing money.

"Look, it says, the eighth day of June."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other.

Countless thoughts, like sparks, kept coming out in a flash and astonishment.

The two of them were silent for a while. Fengxiao was about to ask, but Yin Ding waved his hand and he shut up.

After a long while, Yan Ruyu asked: "Is there any other new news?"

"temporarily unavailable."

"Okay, I'll give you a new task," Yan Ruyu said in a serious tone.

Bee Whistle straightened his back unconsciously: "But it depends on the girl's orders."

"You go back to your home to find a reason. Go to Yongchang for a few days and help me check a few things. The silver ingot will go with you. After this is done, you no longer have to worry about your health. I will also give you Your sum of money is enough for you to have enough food and clothing in the future, and you can go to the ends of the world as you wish."

Bee Whistle looked excited and knelt down with a plop: "I don't want to go to the ends of the world, and I don't want money. I want to... be with Brother Beibei and follow him to the death!"

This surprised Yan Ruyu.

However, this is not important right now.

"If things are done well, everything can be discussed," Huo Changhe said.

"Yes, the villain will definitely go through fire and water, even to death!"

Yan Ruyu asked Yin Ding to take him back home. As for what excuse he would use to tell Huo Changxian, it was up to him. If he couldn't even do this, then there would be no mention of following him in the future.

Return after delivering the silver ingots.

Yan Ruyu let out a long breath, and Huo Changhe whispered: "Wen Zhiyan can't lie, but the whistle is also conclusive, so one of those two people must be fake."

On the ninth day of June, Huo Changxian led his men to a bloody massacre of the Wen family; on the afternoon of the eighth day of June, he was still in the house to receive Feng Shao who had returned.

It was impossible to reach Wen's house from Lincheng in half a day.

Unless one of the two Huo Changxian is fake.

Yan Ruyu recalled Qi Tianmeng's attitude towards Huo Changxian from Zhenwei Escort, and felt that it was not respectful enough at that time. If Huo Changxian was the emperor's illegitimate son, and Qi Tianmeng was sent by the emperor to secretly protect Yongchang County Lord and Huo Changxian's mother and son, it should be Be polite and respectful, at least on the surface.

Unless Qi Tianmeng knows whether this is true or false.

In other words, the one he faced at that time was fake.

After thinking about it, I felt that something was not right. At that time, Yan Ruyu followed Huo Changxian out of the house, outside the Zhenwei Escort Agency, and then all the way to the manor outside the city.

It was certain that Huo Changxian was the one who usually dealt with them, and it was also Yan Ruyu who had done a paternity test, which confirmed that he and the head of Yongchang County were biological mother and son.

That doesn't make sense.

Yan Ruyu thought about it. On the one hand, she felt that the idea was right, but on the other hand, she felt that there was something she couldn't get around.

Huo Changhe gently held her hand: "Princes, or some important officials at the border, some have substitutes who look like princes, and some are trained since childhood, with strict requirements in all aspects, and only one out of ten thousand can be chosen."

"The prince is saying that Huo Changxian also has a substitute?" Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, "If that's the case, then if a murder case like the Wen family is so important, would he let the substitute go?"

Huo Changhe said solemnly: "It's not impossible. We feel that this kind of extermination of the family is important, and we think he will do it personally. But from another perspective, just because it is important, if something happens in the future, this can actually be his excuse. reason."

Yan Ruyu's eyes were cold: "If he does such an evil thing, he will think of a way out, but the Wen family is facing a dead end."

"Your Majesty," Yan Ruyu asked, "is the pen I gave you that can record sounds still there?"

"Yes, of course."

"Just in time, I want to use this to try Huo Changxian."

Yin Ding was dumbfounded when he heard this, his little eyes couldn't move, and his brain couldn't keep up.

Huo Changhe ordered: "Yin Ding, do you want to beat Yinshan again?"

This is what Yin Ding loves to do the most: "Of course I want to!"

"Okay, then you go and follow the whistle and come over."

……

When Huo Changxian returned to his residence, he went to the head of Yongchang County to tell her the good news.

Ever since he moved here, the head of Yongchang County has never smiled.

But she took the initiative to bring up the matter of selling the house. She said she couldn't talk about it yet, which made her sick to death.

Huo Changxian thought about telling her the good news to make her happy.

Sure enough, when the head of Yongchang County heard that Mr. Jia had accepted the banknote, he was finally happy and felt that everything was promising.

Huo Changxian accompanied her and had dinner together.

After eating and chatting for a while, when I was about to leave, the boy outside hurried in.

"Young Master, there is... a reaction!"
