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

Chapter 1612 Different Ways of Death

Before the Sima uncle and nephew wanted to continue speaking, Sima Chen hurried in with a slightly frightened look on his face.

Huo Changhe asked: "What happened?"

Sima Chen whispered, "Your Majesty, there was another accident in the valley ahead, and someone's body was carried back."

Huo Changhe immediately stood up: "Go and take a look."

Master Sima also wanted to follow, Huo Changhe thought for a moment and said, "You two don't have to go, just rest here first."

He glanced outside, his eyes deep: "Also, tell your family to keep their mouths shut and not let outsiders know about your recovery."

I thought everything would be fine once it was cured, but it seems that it is not that simple.

The Sima uncle and nephew immediately understood Huo Changhe's intention: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will give the order right away."

There is no doubt that the Sima family is united.

Huo Changhe asked Sima Chen to lead the way and was thinking about whether to call Yan Ruyu. He wanted to ask her to go with him, but he also wanted her to have a good rest.

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw Yan Ruyu coming towards me. Their eyes met and they smiled at each other.

Huo Changhe explained the situation, and Yan Ruyu glanced at Master Sima's courtyard: "Your Highness has made very good arrangements. I will ask Yinding to call a few people later. Several courtyards must be guarded secretly."

"That's right," Huo Changhe agreed. "We didn't want to move in originally, but it seems that's not going to work. So, half of them will stay where they are, and the other half will move into the inn, and then they will be scattered around these courtyards."

"it is good."

The two men agreed to go to the front with Sima Chen, and when they met the silver ingot, they would let him make the arrangements.

The owner of the inn in front had asked several waiters to carry the body back and park it in the small open space in front.

The residents who were watching wanted to watch the fun but were also a little scared, so they gathered on both sides and talked in low voices.

"What number is this?"

"The third group, the seventh person."

"Oh my god, this is... too scary."

"I heard that some of the first group were crushed to death by rocks, with big bloody holes on their heads, and some had their necks scratched."

"The second batch was also miserable. There was a big hole in their chests. I don't know if their hearts were dug out alive. One of them had all his limbs broken."

"This is the third batch. Look, their necks are broken and there are purple marks, as if they were strangled by a big iron chain."

"Hey, I heard that the soul-binding lock that Black and White Impermanence often uses is a big iron chain..."

"Yes, yes. Some evil spirits have long nails that are like claws. They can easily tear throats and rip out hearts."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were listening in the crowd, their eyes fixed on the corpse that had just been dragged back.

Indeed, his throat was purple, showing the marks of the thick iron chain.

"Where are the other bodies?" Yan Ruyu asked the person next to her, "Have you seen them?"

Others thought they were just there to watch the fun, so they enthusiastically introduced themselves: "The boss ordered the boy to take the body and put it in the ravine over there. The temperature there is lower, so the body won't spoil as easily."

"The boss has reported it to the police, and someone from the government will come to take the body away later."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and went over to look at the corpse.

As they walked, Huo Changhe told Yan Ruyu everything he had heard from Master Sima in detail.

"Is there such a thing?" Yan Ruzhuyu was also a little surprised, "It is indeed strange."

"But I don't believe in ghosts, and I don't believe in ghosts being seen by people. How can such a thing be easily seen by people?"

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "Your Highness is right. Not to mention that there are none at all, even if there are, they are just outliers among the people. They are far less powerful than humans, and they can't hide in time."

As they were talking, Yan Ruyu arrived at the place and saw the ravine in front of her: "..."

Is this the small ravine that the abbot mentioned during the call? And he jumped over it?

This ravine is at least six or seven meters wide and quite deep at the bottom. If you fall in accidentally, you will die.

Yan Ruyu murmured to herself, wondering whether the abbot's words about the path in the forest and the small hill were reliable.

While thinking, he looked around and soon found the corpses.

Yan Ruyu went forward to take a closer look and found that it was indeed as everyone had just discussed.

"Some people were hit on the head with rocks, others had their throats and chests scratched by unknown sharp weapons, and some were strangled when they stopped at the inn. The ways they died were all different."

“There’s no pattern to be found.”

Huo Changhe frowned and looked around: "Yu'er, did you notice that there are no bodies of the six people from the troupe?"

Yan Ruyu took a few glances and found that it was indeed the case.

"Maybe the boss didn't collect it for them?"

Huo Changhe shook his head: "No, it shouldn't be. The boss didn't know these deceased people. If that's the case, why did he only accept these people's money and not those?"

Yan Ruyu thought about it and it made sense.

"Everything started with the death of those six people," Huo Changhe said firmly, "So, the cause of their death is also particularly important."

"Let's go back and ask around."

The two of them returned to the front of the inn, where everyone was still watching.

Some people are starting to get anxious.

"What should I do? I don't even dare to leave."

"With things like this, who dares to leave? Whoever leaves will die. This is too scary."

"I'm in a hurry to go home. My mother is waiting for me at home."

Anxiety began to spread rapidly.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe exchanged glances and entered the lobby of the inn.

Yinding also brought back a few people, and they had to check in in batches to avoid arousing suspicion.

They went to check in and Yinding came over to report.

"Your Majesty, Princess, everything has been arranged. Two more batches will arrive later."

Yan Ruyu asked: "Do you know the boss here? Who is he?"

Yinding glanced around the hall and said, "Neither one."

He whispered, "Your Majesty, Princess, could it be that they are a shady shop and want the guests to stay longer, so they resorted to this trick?"

Huo Changhe laughed angrily: "Killing so many people just to retain the guests? Is this to gain a good reputation or to destroy your own reputation?"

"Who would want to live here if this bad reputation gets out?"

Yinding blinked and said, that’s right.

"Then, could it be that their competitors did it? When they couldn't continue, they closed down and then opened another one?"

Yan Ruyu said: "It's the same old saying. If you do something for profit, then the gains must be greater than the efforts, and there must be profit to be made."

"It's not just one or two people, plus six people from the troupe, more than a dozen people, all trying to grab a piece of business?"

If this gets exposed, he will lose his head.

Yan Ruyu believed that no matter what era, killing people was a bad choice.

Moreover, killing so many people at once must be a big conspiracy, and it is definitely not just to steal business or make a little profit.

What could it be? She stared out into the valley, her gaze far and wide.

Just at this moment, two horses galloped out from the valley, a black horse slightly ahead, and a red horse slightly behind.

The man on the black horse was about forty years old, wearing a dark blue brocade robe, with bronze skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

The man on the chestnut horse was about twenty years old, wearing a light blue suit, had a tan skin and looked very heroic.

If you look closely, you can see that their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar. I wonder who they are.

There were a few more people behind them, all walking, carrying stretchers in groups of two.

There was also a corpse on the stretcher.

Yan Ruyu counted, one, two, three, four, five, six.

Exactly six.
