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

Chapter 1936 The unexpected "assassin"

Huo Changhe nodded seriously.

Liu Balang's face was solemn, but he was in extreme pain at the moment and could only treat his illness first.

This time the prescription was more complicated, so Yan Ruyu had to prepare the medicine herself, and Huo Changhe went with her.

Liu Balang had a herbal medicine shop under his name, so it was not difficult to find herbs. He just wrote a prescription and asked someone to get the herbs. However, Yan Ruyu had to figure out the required amount and the right proportions herself.

Then he ordered people to grind it into powder.

After all this preparation, the effect of the poison has already been half gone.

Just when Liu Balang was about to go crazy and could no longer bear it, the medicine arrived.

He didn't care whether it was disgusting or not, he grabbed it and swallowed it in one gulp.

After calming down a bit, he said fiercely, "Catch those people in the kitchen and kill them all."

Just as the men were about to leave, Yan Ruyu said, "Wait."

Liu Balang's eyes were cold and stern. "What? Do you think that by curing me you can interfere with the affairs of my mansion?"

Yan Ruyu smiled faintly: "I dare not, but I just don't want you to do useless work and increase your sins of killing."

Liu Balang's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that this matter has nothing to do with the people in the kitchen. Killing them won't help. It won't do anything except take a few more lives."

"That's not what you said. I was poisoned. I was poisoned repeatedly."

"But it's not from the mouth," Yan Ruyu said, "You come into contact with so many things, not necessarily food. If it was food, wouldn't it be too obvious? The person who poisoned you wouldn't be that stupid."

Liu Balang thought about it and it made sense.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone outside shouting, "Who is it?"

"There are assassins!"

Liu Balang immediately walked out. He also wanted to see who this assassin was.

As soon as he left, Yan Ruyu immediately took the medicine from his medicine box and replaced it with medicine powder without poison.

Forget it, just let him live a few more days. I have taken so many things from him, so giving him some medicine powder is nothing.

When Liu Balang went outside, he saw only swaying branches.

When asked, they said they saw a black shadow, which disappeared in a flash.

But there definitely is.

Yan Ruyu listened and laughed secretly. Of course there was - but it was Xiaolan, not an assassin at all.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and smiled.

The assassin's statement quickly made Liu Balang give up the idea that it was someone around him who poisoned him. He thought about it and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"How's the teahouse?"

"Master, the business is open, but it's not very good. We will send two people there every day to sit there."

When Yan Ruyu heard this, she knew they were talking about Liu Jiulang's teahouse.

Very good, this puts the assassin on Liu Jiulang.

"What's the point of just sitting there? Can't you see that they've bullied your master? Think of another way to teach them a lesson!"

"Yes."

Liu Balang gritted his teeth in anger: "He has Zhou Lie by his side. He's a master and loyal. It's really weird. Why don't I have someone like him?"

"Where's Liu Da?" Liu Balang asked irritably, "Why is there no sign of him?"

Liu Da is his number one confidant. Although he is not very smart and does not have any special skills, he is loyal, can read his expressions, and can make him happy, which is enough.

I've been feeling uncomfortable these past two days. Without Liu Da, I always feel like nothing is satisfactory or right for me.

"My Lord, Butler Liu hasn't returned yet."

Liu Balang was startled: "Not back yet?"

This was not like Liu Da's style. Liu Da did not have a mistress and was not very fond of women. He just loved money. Therefore, every time he did a good job, he would be rewarded generously.

Liu Da became even more loyal. Generally speaking, nothing went wrong with him, and he never stayed out all night.

Liu Balang felt uneasy: "Go find it."

"Yes."

Just as his men were about to leave, Liu Balang stopped them again: "Go to the governor's mansion and ask them to send someone to help look for him."

"Yes."

Yan Ruyu listened to his self-righteous tone and felt that he was really treating the governor's mansion like his own home.

Liu Balang turned around and saw Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe: "You... go back to the yard and rest first. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a feast for you later."

I didn't say to let them go, I guess we still have to see the situation.

This was exactly what Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe wanted.

……

Governor Ding has been restless these past two days. Liu Jiulang said he would find a way to help him resolve the food problem, but when he went there was no news.

Furthermore, although Liu Da's body had been dealt with, he knew that the matter was not over.

Liu Dake is not an ordinary person. He will not die silently and no one will care.

Just as I was feeling anxious in the study, my lawyer ran in with a grim expression and a wandering look.

"Sir, someone from the Liu family is here."

Governor Ding stood up suddenly and asked: "Which Liu family? Eight or nine?"

Of course, he was looking forward to Liu Jiulang's arrival to quickly resolve the food problem.

But what the master said was something he didn't want to hear.

"They are Liu Balang's men."

Governor Ding's heart immediately perked up, and he lowered his voice: "They must be here to inquire about Liu Da's whereabouts."

"Whether it's true or not, you have to see it first. If it's true..." The lawyer lowered his voice even more, "you'd better bite it to death. He left and I haven't seen him since."

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing else we can do.

Going to the front hall, the lawyer invited the person in.

The Liu family members felt more at ease when they came to the governor's office than when they were at Liu's house. They sat down on the chairs without waiting for Governor Ding to offer them seats.

"Governor Ding, my master asked me to come here because he wants to ask you something."

Governor Ding suppressed his anxiety and anger and asked, "What's going on?"

"Our Liu Mansion's steward, Liu Da, has not returned since he came to the mansion. Does your Excellency know where he is?"

Governor Ding thought to himself that they were indeed coming for Liu Da.

Governor Dante could only grit his teeth and deny it.

He feigned surprise: "Butler Liu? He came here, discussed things, and then left. I even personally saw him off to the door."

The master also nodded in agreement: "That's right."

"Leaving? When?"

"That very day, he arrived and left within an hour." Governor Ding said seriously, constantly preparing himself mentally.

If you want others to believe, you must believe first.

Liu Da is gone, but he was killed outside. That’s none of my business. You didn’t ask, so I won’t tell you.

"Did he ever say where he was going?"

Governor Ding shook his head: "This... he didn't say it, so I don't know."

"Butler Liu is my master's confidant. He's missing and hasn't returned yet. My master is very unhappy. My lord, if my master is unhappy, no one else can be happy."

Governor Ding cursed in his heart, but had to put on a smile on his face.

"It's natural."

"I wonder if there's anything I can do to help you?"

"Then please send someone to help find it."

Although Governor Ding was unhappy, he was relieved. The fact that they said this meant that they believed it.

"Okay, I'll give the order right away and have someone go out into the streets to look for Butler Liu."

After sending the person away, Governor Ding and the legal advisor exchanged a quick glance, and they understood each other tacitly.
