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

Chapter 1542: Killing the Remnants

The two constables were determined to die. They were surrounded and did not retreat even when the old woman threatened to catch them and chop off their heads.

Hearing the old woman's yelling, I couldn't help but retort.

"Bah! I'm a constable of the imperial court. I'm here to protect the people and maintain local law and order."

"You are the dogs, the stray dogs, the bugs in the gutter, huddled here every day, not daring to move."

"How dare you call us dogs? You are the ones who are called dogs!"

The old woman pointed angrily: "Kill them!"

Several men rushed forward with knives in hand. Just as they raised their knives, bursts of whistling sounds suddenly came from all directions. It was the sound of iron weapons shooting through the air!

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"thump!"

The white-feather arrows pierced the bodies of those people, and they fell heavily to the ground. Some of them who had managed to escape were terrified and tried to fight with their knives, but they were soon hit by arrows as well.

At the same time, a signal arrow rose into the air, sharp and loud.

The two detectives were overjoyed and looked at each other: "Kill!"

They kept their eyes on the old woman, determined to capture her.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe led their men into the courtyard, and they didn't have to do anything, the secret guards got the job done.

Using secret guards to deal with these people is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

Soon, the other two people who saw the signal arrow also rushed over and joined the battle.

It didn't even take a quarter of an hour. There were a total of nine remnants, six of whom died on the spot, one was seriously injured, and two were slightly injured. They were all captured alive.

Among them was the old woman.

The old woman was brought before Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe.

Yan Ruyu pointed at her face, and the secret guard stepped forward and tore off the makeup on her face.

Show your true face.

The detectives, especially the two who were deceived, widened their eyes in surprise.

They really didn't see it just now. It wasn't because their eyesight was poor, but because this person's disguise skills were too exquisite.

Yan Ruyu took the torn human skin mask. It was thin and soft, with slight wrinkles on it. When she put it on her face, it looked like real wrinkles.

The edges are not made neatly, so it is easier to fit with real skin and does not look fake because it is too neat.

Yan Ruyu felt that this thing was even more delicately made than those made by Beibei, so she had to take it back and let Beibei take a good look at it.

She put away the mask and then looked up at the old woman - she was in her thirties, with a pretty face. If she changed her clothes and put on makeup, she would be a woman with outstanding appearance.

The woman didn't look at Yan Ruyu, her eyes were on Huo Changhe.

"Who was it I thought? It turned out to be the Prince of Zhennan. No wonder we were caught today."

"That's fine. I'm convinced that I'm in your hands." She tilted her head to look at the two constables, her tone and expression showing contempt. "It's much better than these good-for-nothing idiots."

The two detectives blushed and felt a little embarrassed, but then they thought again that losing to Huo Changhe was not a loss.

"Thank you, my Lord and Princess, for saving my life."

After hearing this, the woman looked at Yan Ruyu and raised her eyebrows slightly: "The prince has married? What a pity."

Huo Changhe had a blank expression on his face: "Do you recognize me?"

"Of course I recognize him. If it weren't for the prince, our followers would have spread all over the northwest. The northwest would have been our world long ago!"

A cruel smile appeared in her eyes: "Your Majesty, we will never forget this great favor until we die."

"Then remember it well until you die."

Huo Changhe was not afraid of such words. He waved his hand and asked people to take them all away.

They took both the body and the corpse out and searched the house, discovering a dark room where Sun Dong and his son were trapped.

The reason they didn't kill him was not because these people were soft-hearted, but for safety reasons. They needed Sun Dong to show up from time to time to avoid arousing suspicion.

The father and son of the Sun family took turns to show up, leaving one as a hostage so as not to worry that the other would not be obedient.

After being rescued this time, the father and son hugged each other and cried, and described in detail how these people came.

In fact, it is very simple. Sun Dong was indeed doing some small business in Shencheng, and he only came back home during the Chinese New Year, wanting to reunite with his father and have a good New Year.

When the father and son were reunited, he found that his father was really old and his mother had passed away early. The father and son depended on each other and had a very deep relationship. He thought that since they were just running a small business, he might as well let his father go with him.

His father also agreed, but the weather was still very cold and didn't warm up, and the road was difficult to walk on. He was afraid that his father would suffer, so he thought about waiting for a few more days and leaving later.

Unexpectedly, these people came one night, and the nightmare of the father and son officially began.

Sun Dong hugged his old father who had lost a lot of weight and blamed himself.

While Huo Changhe was interrogating her, Yan Ruyu went to look in other rooms. The rooms on both sides were occupied by people from the Red Lotus Sect. Apart from some daily necessities, she didn't find anything else.

It seems that they came here purely to hide.

There are still some things in the small shed on the south side, which appear to belong to Sun Dong.

The things are clean and neatly arranged, and you can tell he is a serious and careful person.

When Yan Ruyu returned to the house, the father and son had stopped crying and were thanking Huo Changhe.

Yan Ruyu asked, "Do you still want to do business?"

Sun Dong wiped his eyes and said, "I think. I don't know anything else, so I can do some business. It's not a big business, but it can support my family and take care of my father."

There was also a hint of pride in Sun's father's tone: "My house is one of the largest in our village, and it's well built. It was all earned by my son."

Yan Ruyu looked at him. He had been locked in the dark room for quite some time and his body was covered in dirt, but it could be seen that the material of his clothes was good and thick. It must be a new cotton-padded jacket.

"In that case," Yan Ruyu nodded, "Rest with your father for two days first. When you have time, go to the city and visit Qian's cloth shop. Ask the shopkeeper Qian to write a letter of recommendation for you. After you go to Shencheng, find the manager of Qian's shop in Shencheng."

"With their help, you can do bigger and better things, and it will be easier to take care of your father."

Sun Dong was overjoyed, this was an opportunity he had never even thought of.

Who in business doesn’t know the Qian family?

He doesn't dare to cooperate with others, but if he can get some help from others or point him in a direction, it is much better than him figuring it out blindly on his own.

Sun's father pulled him down to kneel and kowtow to express his gratitude.

Yan Ruyu asked them to stand up and then asked, "Tell us what you know about what these people have said and done. It doesn't matter if you are wrong, as long as it is true."

Now the father and son racked their brains to recall.

Huo Changhe gave Yan Ruyu a look and quietly left.

As soon as he arrived at the yard, Yinding walked in dragging someone with him.

"Your Highness, we caught him. This guy was sneaking around outside and was about to leave when I caught him."

The man was face down, with his belt held by a silver ingot, and his body was hanging limply. He must have fainted.

He was wearing ordinary clothes, nothing special about them.

but……

Huo Changhe took a deep breath.

I smell a faint fragrance.

"Turn him over."
