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

Chapter 1912 The Abbot Calls Again

Yan Ruyu searched everywhere but couldn't find the account book, and felt a little sleepy.

Never mind, there’s no rush anyway, I’ll just go to sleep first.

There is a lot to do tomorrow.

The next morning, when Huo Changhe woke up, he heard Yan Ruyu talking in a low voice.

The abbot called early in the morning and told me that Huo Changxu was interrogating the two people who claimed to be from Rongzhou.

He was very busy yesterday and missed Huo Changxu several times.

Huo Changxu also wanted to open a new shop in Xicheng District and was very busy.

The abbot went to the shop to look for him, but learned that he had gone out. When he didn't come back for a while, he went to Xicheng District to look for him again.

When I arrived in Xicheng District, I heard that Huo Changxu had passed away.

Huo Changxu returned to the shop and heard that the abbot was looking for him, so he hurried to find the abbot again.

After a while, the two people never met each other for a single day.

It was not until the evening that the abbot gave up and simply returned to the palace to wait for him in the gatehouse, and that was when they met.

Only after the two met did the abbot learn about the interrogation.

Yan Ruyu listened to the abbot's narration and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The Second Young Master has made inquiries and can confirm that those people are from Rongzhou."

"They are indeed here to look for the prince."

"It's the same question again. The prince was exiled to a remote place. The people who passed by might know about it, but we didn't go to Rongzhou at that time."

"How did they know the prince was in Phantom City?"

"Even if they heard or knew about it, how would they know that the prince has been cleared of his grievances? Not many people know this news."

"The Second Young Master also asked about this. Don't mention it, the Second Young Master is really good now. He can handle things on his own."

Yan Ruyu was listening to the abbot when she felt some movement. She turned around and saw it was Huo Changhe.

She was stunned for a moment, but didn't hang up immediately or avoid the call.

She had no intention of hiding this from Huo Changhe, but she just didn't know how to explain it, so she had delayed it until now.

He happened to hear it now, so it was a good opportunity to introduce it to him.

"Your Majesty, please say a few words."

Huo Changhe was surprised. He was puzzled when he heard the abbot's voice just now. How could he hear the voice from such a distance?

"What is this?" Huo Changhe pointed at the crystal stone in front of Yan Ruyu.

"Thousands of miles of sound transmission?"

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Almost."

"I have this special room, and the abbot also has it. When we are both in the room at the same time, we can press the crystal stone and talk to each other."

"So, the reason I know what happened in Youcheng was because the abbot told me."

Huo Changhe thought that even if Yan Ruyu had told him before, he could not imagine it. He would only believe it after seeing it with his own eyes.

The abbot heard it all and greeted him warmly, "My Lord? How are you doing in Rongzhou? Everything is fine in Youcheng, and everyone in the palace is safe. Don't worry."

Huo Changhe was happy: "It's really the abbot, you heard it so clearly."

"Thank you, Abbot. Youli and the palace are relying on you."

"I will do my best. Your Majesty, the Second Young Master is truly remarkable. He was truly clever and capable when he interrogated the people of Rongzhou."

"When they spoke to Governor Cao, they were hesitant and said they would only report the truth when they met the prince."

"After the Second Young Master questioned them, they revealed the truth. They said they had a nephew who was serving in the city defense army, but he couldn't stand it and deserted."

"He heard about it when he was in the military camp, so they went to Youcheng together."

"His nephew also went to Youcheng with them, but he died on the way."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe exchanged a glance: "Which military camp is he in?"

"I heard that the Rongzhou City Defense Army hasn't received their pay since the New Year, and they can't even get enough to eat in the barracks."

"Although they didn't have military pay in the early days, at least they had enough to eat. Sometimes local soldiers could even save their rations and help their families."

Huo Changhe was surprised: "Military rations to support the family? How could such a thing happen?"

This situation will only occur during a major disaster when order and systems are in chaos and survival is the prerequisite.

Usually, only military pay is given to the family, not rations.

"It's hard to explain. His nephew is dead, so he can't explain it. When his nephew brought the food home, he did it secretly and didn't allow us to ask any more questions. So he can't explain the specific situation."

"Where are they now?" Huo Changhe asked.

"It's at the governor's office," the abbot said. "Governor Cao has sent people to watch over it, and he hasn't let anyone know Rongzhou is here."

"I heard from Governor Cao that it's against the rules for people from Rongzhou to come to Youcheng to file a complaint."

Huo Changhe said, "That's right, it's true. Governor Cao had no choice but to act out of caution and to avoid any trouble."

He looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Yu'er, in my opinion, it would be better to let Song Ping send someone to bring them back to Rongzhou so that I can ask them in person."

"Even if we want to handle the Rongzhou matter, we need witnesses and evidence."

Yan Ruyu had no objection. The person who went to file a complaint couldn't stay in Youcheng forever, as that would be a hidden danger.

Anyway, they are all in Rongzhou, so it would be convenient and save trouble to bring them over.

Yan Ruyu nodded and said to the abbot, "Tell Song Ping to arrange for someone to bring those two people over."

"Okay, no problem." The abbot agreed immediately.

"Also, be sure to have them disguise themselves," Yan Ruyu reminded, "and ensure their safety."

"it is good."

Although Beibei came along, there were many secret guards left behind who were good at disguise, so it was not difficult for them to disguise themselves.

After ending the call with the abbot, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe drank some water in the space, picked up some things, and exited the space.

At this time, there was movement in the yard and the silver ingots also rose.

Yan Ruyu gave him the red fruits she brought out and shared them with everyone.

After breakfast, Huo Changhe made arrangements.

Yinding said, "Your Majesty, I still need to find someone."

"who?"

Yinding told the story of the vegetable seller he met on the roadside yesterday.

I asked for the address yesterday, and later I met Huo Changhe at the boat company, so I didn’t have time to go there again.

"Okay, go take a look and see if you can find out something."

"Yes."

After making all the arrangements, Huo Changhe said to Yan Ruyu, "Yu'er, we were on the boat yesterday. We agreed to go again at the same time today."

"good."

"We're not going today," Huo Changhe said. "Let's find a place."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows.

Inside the boat.

Cao Shu was wandering around the backyard in boredom, looking at the wood with annoyance.

If Liu Balang hadn't said anything, he would have gone out for a walk long ago.

Although there is nothing much to see here, there is a gambling house.

I can't help but think of this word. When I think of it, my heart starts to itch.

Seeing that there was no one around and no one noticed him, he quietly slipped out through the small door at the side.

Go straight to the gambling house.

Yinding and Yu Liang went out together. Yu Liang was a local and was more familiar with the city, so there was no need to ask.

When they got out, they asked, "Guard Silver, where are we going?"
