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

Chapter 1979: Diverting trouble to the east

"Snapped!"

The wine glass was slammed hard on the table, and the wine splashed all over the table.

Liu Balang stared at his subordinates who were huddled together in front of him, his face flushed red: "Say it again? He doesn't take me seriously? I'm afraid of Su Zhenhai?"

The subordinate was so frightened that his knees weakened and he almost fell to his knees. He stammered, "That's not what I meant. I just think that the city guard holds the military power..."

"Military power?" Liu Balang suddenly slammed the table and stood up, the jade pendant on his waist hitting the corner of the table with a crisp sound. "Humph, what's the use of having military power? The golden medal of immunity from death bestowed by the late emperor is enshrined in my Liu family's ancestral hall. Who in Rongzhou doesn't know about it?

When Su Zhenhai sees me, doesn't he have to politely call me Mr. Liu?

He staggered forward two steps, and the smell of alcohol made everyone around him frown.

The butler next to him hurried forward to support him, but he was pushed away: "Don't touch me! I'm not drunk!"

"Master, Envoy Su is in charge of the defense of the state capital after all. If there really is a disturbance..." The housekeeper wanted to persuade him, but was glared at by Liu Balang.

"So what if there's a commotion?" Liu Balang yelled at the top of his lungs, "Does he dare to touch me? I have the golden medal of immunity from death. Even if I poke a hole in the sky, he can't do anything to me!"

He pointed at the subordinate who was speaking, spit flying everywhere: "If you dare to say that I'm afraid of Su Zhenhai next time, I will peel off your skin!

Tonight, I will go to the Su Mansion and let that Su guy see who is the real local boss in Rongzhou! "

Seeing that he was very drunk, no one dared to persuade him anymore. They could only watch him slam the door and leave, cursing and shouting that he would teach Su Zhenhai a lesson.

At this time, dinner at the Su Mansion had just ended.

Yan Ruyu stood up and straightened her clothes, then said to Su Zhenhai who was sitting at the main seat, "Sir, it's getting late. I still have to give acupuncture to the eldest son, so I'll take my leave first."

Su Zhenhai put down his wine glass and nodded: "Okay, come, send the doctor!"

Huo Changhe also stood up at this time, his tone calm but with an irresistible tone: "Don't bother, I'll go with the doctor."

Su Zhenhai looked at him in surprise: "The yard you live in is not the same as the one the young doctor is going to..."

Huo Changhe's eyes were indifferent, and Su Zhenhai closed his mouth at the right time.

Well, as long as this person is happy, let him do what he wants.

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu said goodbye to Su Zhenhai and walked out of the main hall.

As the night deepened, the lanterns in the corridor emitted a dim light.

Just after passing the Moon Gate and there was no one around, Huo Changhe suddenly reached out and grabbed Yan Ruyu's wrist.

Yan Ruyu held his hand with her backhand, looked up at him with a smile, and saw that his eyes were gentle: "Go faster, I have something to tell you."

She let him pull her forward.

The footsteps of the two people were particularly clear in the silent courtyard, and soon they returned to the yard.

After entering the house, Huo Changhe closed the door and turned to Yan Ruyu and said, "I was in the military camp today, and the military rations were handled smoothly. Su Zhenhai must have had some doubts in his heart, but since the food was in front of him, he didn't ask too many questions."

Yan Ruyu smiled at him and said, "The army has been short of food for a long time. You are saving our lives. Why would he ask any more questions?"

Huo Changhe sat down opposite her and poured her a cup of tea. "That will only last for a few days. If we want to solve it completely, we have to start by resolving the major issues of Rongzhou."

"Withholding military rations is a capital crime. Such a bold person must be no small figure. I wonder if there will be any news from the silver ingots." Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea and said.

"It should be soon." Huo Changhe picked up his teacup. "On the surface, Rongzhou City is governed by Ding Hengshou and Su Zhenhai, but that's clearly not the case. The situation is unclear, and this person is extremely secretive. I hope the silver ingot can bring back useful clues."

Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment, then said, "Liu Balang has considerable influence in Rongzhou, and he's always been arrogant and domineering. I wouldn't be surprised if he robbed the people and oppressed them, but he's really not afraid of taking the risk of withholding military rations?"

Huo Changhe's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "The Liu family has a golden medal of immunity from death. Although this person is bold and cruel, he is not a smart person. If he is bewitched by others, it is really possible.

Su Zhenhai is the city's protector. Firstly, we have to worry about the golden medal of immunity from death, and secondly, if he gets control of the food, we won't be able to touch him for a while."

"The Golden Medal of Immunity..." Yan Ruyu murmured, "Does this mean I can do whatever I want?"

"At least in Rongzhou, no one can suppress him." Huo Changhe said solemnly, "But withholding military rations is a serious matter. Even if he has a golden medal of immunity from death, the court will never let him off easily if they find out."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, mixed with the shouts of people, the neighing of horses, and the sound of things breaking.

Yan Ruyu frowned in surprise: "What's going on?"

Huo Changhe walked to the window and called over a secret guard.

"Go out and see what's going on."

The secret guard immediately took the order and left.

At this time, there was chaos at the gate of the Su Mansion, and several servants were pushed to the ground.

Su Zhenhai was in the study, writing today's grain accounts.

"Master! This is bad! Liu Balang and his men are blocking the entrance to the mansion and cursing!"

Su Zhenhai was in a state of confusion, his face full of anguish and surprise: "Liu Balang? What is he doing here?"

The servant in the hall was sweating profusely from running. He lifted his clothes and panted, "I don't know! His men injured everyone at the door!"

Su Zhenhai frowned, pushed the abacus aside and stood up: "Come with me to take a look."

As soon as I reached the second gate, I heard a roar like a broken gong coming from outside: "Su Zhenhai, you coward! You dare to do it but not take responsibility for it, right? If you don't open the door, I will smash your shabby house!"

When I stepped out of the gate, I saw Liu Balang leaning against the stone lion, his face flushed and reeking of alcohol.

"Liu Balang, what are you crazy about?" Su Zhenhai said calmly.

Liu Balang burped and stumbled forward. "Crazy? Let me ask you, what good things have you done today?"

Su Zhenhai frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Liu Balang snorted and laughed: "Who came to your house today?"

Su Zhenhai was startled, his face darkening slightly. "Who comes to my house? What does it have to do with you?"

"Why not?" Liu Balang suddenly reached out to grab Su Zhenhai's collar, but was stopped in time by the servant, "Su Zhenhai, you..."

Su Zhenhai suppressed his anger and said coldly, "You are drunk. Go back and sober up."

"Go back? No way!" Liu Balang broke free from the servant's hand, spitting everywhere, "If you don't explain yourself clearly, I'm not going to leave here!

Su Zhenhai, I'm telling you, don't think you're great just because you have a few soldiers. If you piss me off, I'll burn down your Su Mansion!"

Su Zhenhai laughed briefly: "Liu Balang, considering that you are drunk, I will not bother with you. If you continue to talk nonsense..."

"What? Do you think I'm afraid?" Liu Balang laughed wildly, "What can you do to me?"
