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

Chapter 1788 Let's take advantage of their own strategy

Liu pushed away Dashan's hand that was on her knee.

"Family? Let me consider you as a family, but when you wanted to kill me, did you treat me as a family?"

"When you two brothers left me in danger without helping me, did you treat me as a family member?"

"You still have the nerve to say that I love you, sew clothes for you, and send you dry food. If I knew that one day, you would watch me die, and your parents would kill me, I would never love you!"

Liu sneered: "You only said that your mother made a mistake, so your father is innocent? Dashan, don't think about clearing your father and pushing your mother, a woman, out to take the blame."

Dashan's expression changed slightly: "Aunt, you..."

Liu faced Yan Ruyu, held back her tears, and kowtowed, saying, "Princess, this matter is definitely not as simple as Dashan said, and it was not done by Zhao alone. The whole family is involved, and no one is innocent!"

Dashan frowned, hatred in his eyes.

Yan Ruyu saw it clearly and said slowly, "This is natural."

"However, I think your family doesn't want to tell the truth. In that case, come, take them all away and let them wake up."

"Everyone else, you have worked hard today. This princess will have a thank you gift." Yan Ruyu glanced at everyone, "Please wait in front of the mansion gate first. There will be gifts later."

Everyone was surprised and delighted. Being able to enter the palace and see the princess, and have snacks and tea was already enough to brag about for a lifetime, and now there were even gifts and the princess treated them so politely.

Everyone thanked him again and again, and the guards took them to the gate of the mansion. Yan Ruyu went to the abbot and took some fruits and vegetables, as well as some fat chickens and ducks, a full small basket for each person, plus five taels of silver.

While the abbot was installing the light, he asked, "How is it going? Have you found anything?"

"The situation is becoming clearer, but the details still need to be investigated in detail. What's more important is the identities of Daxiaoshan and why he came here."

Yan Ruyu lowered her voice and said, "According to Song Ping's observation, they really want to enter the palace."

The abbot suddenly realized: "So you didn't continue the trial, nor did you send them to the government. Instead, you detained them in the government to see what they wanted to do."

"But that's what I mean," Yan Ruyu's voice gradually turned cold. "I hope they don't disappoint me and do something."

The abbot came down from the ladder and said stealthily, "How about I do something for you?"

Yan Ruyu looked at his smiling face and said, "Okay, but we have to wait until night."

"Alright," the abbot rubbed his hands excitedly, "I haven't been able to display my talents for a long time."

……

The place where Daxiaoshan was imprisoned and the place where their parents were imprisoned were two adjacent courtyards.

There is only a wall between them.

The yard where their parents lived was separated from the yard where the mourning hall was located by a wall.

Since they had no armed power and were just ordinary people, and had injuries from being beaten with sticks, they were not tied up or anything like that. They just had people guarding the gate of the courtyard.

Daxiaoshan had his hands and feet tied and thrown into the yard.

Xiao Shan whispered, "Brother, this is a bit serious, what should we do now?"

Dashan said with a sullen face: "Don't worry, let's wait and see."

"How can we not be anxious? What if we are really asked to take the blame?"

Dashan was silent for a while: "There has never been such a thing as taking the blame. If there was, the parents of those prisoners sentenced to death would have taken their place long ago."

Xiao Shan thought about it and said, "That's right, but the princess said that we were accomplices and shielded the victim. This is not a light crime. We..."

Dashan's eyes turned cold: "Just because she says so? If there is no evidence, we won't admit it then."

Xiao Shan was not optimistic: "But that princess... I think she seems to be quite that. Does she need evidence?"

"If she wants to kill us, she doesn't even need to go to the government, and she doesn't need any evidence."

Dashan choked: "Let's take a look first, and then we can talk about why we want to enter the palace. Don't forget the most important thing. When the time comes... I will have my own way."

Seeing that he was so sure, Xiaoshan didn't know what to say.

Yan Ruyu left the abbot's courtyard and came to the mourning hall.

According to what she just said, Song Ping had already given instructions here, and the only thing that could be done now was to burn the brazier and incense more vigorously.

The eldest lady's crying became louder.

With such a commotion, Zhao and Li Erlang on the other side of the courtyard wall could also hear it.

The couple were originally very anxious and didn't know what they were going to face, so they sighed sadly in the yard.

Especially Zhao, how could she not see that Dashan did not want to take the blame for her? On the contrary, he wanted Yili to take the blame and let her die.

Just when I was feeling sad, I suddenly heard some noise over there. I couldn't help but crawl to the wall to listen to the noise.

The faint, intermittent crying sounds, the smell of burning incense, and the ashes and smell of burning paper money made it easy for them to guess what had happened.

After guessing it, I was shocked.

"Prince Zhennan is dead?"

"Still keeping the funeral a secret?"

“Oh my god, this…”

Li Erlang made a prompt decision: "You listen here, I will go tell my son."

Daxiaoshan was resting against a tree when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the wall.

They were not far away from each other. They looked at each other. Dashan asked Xiaoshan to stay where he was and he moved to the wall.

"Who?"

The voice of his father Li Erlang was immediately heard from the other side.

"Dashan, I'm your father. Your mother and I discovered something. It's a big deal!"

……

Governor Cao had not expected the case to develop to this point.

After listening to what Cui Chong said, I couldn't help but sigh that the world is unpredictable.

“I thought Liu was the one who killed her husband, but I didn’t expect she was also a victim and almost lost her life.”

"Two kind-hearted nephews turned out to be accomplices."

"Sir, now, if we find out who killed Li Sanlang."

"I think it has something to do with the woman who made the quarreling noise and misled others."

Governor Cao nodded: "Yes, that makes sense."

"That Uncle Zhong was the only one who heard it. Unfortunately, he didn't hear it clearly, and he didn't see the person either. It's really a bit difficult to deal with."

Cui rushed forward and whispered, "Sir, I think that Zhao's stature is not much different. Since she dared to kidnap Liu and detain her, it is possible that she deliberately created confusion and misled us."

Governor Cao stroked his beard and said, "Go check Zhao's house to see if there is any other evidence."

"Yes."

"Also, bring the murder weapon here. I want to take another look at it."

Cui Chong took the order and left. Governor Cao picked up his pen, wrote down everything he heard, and sorted out the case.

Cui Chong is right. The key is to find the murderer, and Zhao is a major suspect.

She tricked Liu into leaving home, kidnapped her on the way, and imprisoned her in the vegetable cellar. If Zhao had nothing to do with Li Sanlang's death, then what was the point of only arresting Liu?

Is it really as she said, just to scare Li Sanlang and make him pay the ransom and use the land as collateral?

It sounds reasonable, but something doesn't seem right.
