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

Chapter 1795 You should avoid suspicion!

When Li Chengshi saw Huo Changhe, he felt even more ashamed.

After receiving the greeting, he said ashamedly: "My Lord, Princess, I am incompetent..."

Huo Changhe raised his hand to interrupt him: "Envoy Li, it's useless to say these things. Tell me the results of your investigation."

Li Chengshi blushed and said, "I have interrogated all the fifty people I brought with me. Except for one person who mentioned Xu Congshan, there is nothing unusual about the others."

Huo Changhe remembered this name; it was on the list when he investigated "Mountain".

There were quite a few people on the list at that time, and ordinary names like Daxiaoshan were too common. However, based on investigation, the most suspicious ones were Xu Congshan and Li Fangshan.

Xu Congshan is a platoon leader of a flag. He does not hold much power, but there are some people whose ranks are higher than Lu Peng.

As for Li Fangshan, he was a deputy general, so there is no need to say more.

Huo Changhe motioned to Li Chengshi to continue.

"I have checked and found that Xu Congshan was in the camp last night, but for a while, no one could prove it for him."

"Li Fangshan was not in the camp last night. He took seven people out of the camp without permission. However, I think he is not a big suspect."

Yan Ruyu didn't like this arbitrary way of drawing conclusions, but she didn't say anything and waited for Li Chengshi to continue his analysis.

"Li Fangshan, his son died in the war, and he hated the enemies outside the Great Wall for this. He went to visit his son's grave last night."

"Those seven people were also his former subordinates. When his son died, these people were by his side."

Huo Changhe raised his eyebrows slightly. This result was a bit unexpected.

However, people in the military either die themselves or their relatives and friends die, and this situation is very common.

He could also understand the grief of losing family and friends, and the hatred towards enemies.

"Xu Congshan is now under custody. He has no witnesses and cannot explain clearly," said Li Chengshi as he took something out of his sleeve.

It was a folded handkerchief. When I opened it, I saw a few dry grass leaves covered with dirt.

Li Chengshi continued, "This was taken from Xu Congshan's boots. It matches the grass where the murderer ambushed and shot Lv Peng."

Yan Ruyu looked carefully and found that it was indeed the ambush site she had seen last night. The dry grass was the same as the one in the handkerchief.

"In the face of these grasses, Xu Congshan still insisted that he did not leave the camp?" Huo Changhe asked.

Envoy Li nodded, "That's right. He said he stepped on it while wandering around the camp. It's true that there are places in the camp that have this kind of grass, but his statement is too far-fetched."

Yan Ruyu listened quietly without saying anything.

Huo Changhe asked: "Where are they now?"

"Your Highness, Xu Congshan is under guard, and Li Fangshan... is in his own camp."

Huo Changhe frowned slightly: "Li Fangshan took his troops out of the camp without permission, even if it was to visit his son's grave, it was wrong."

"We are soldiers, not cold-blooded soldiers. He could have just reported it to you, and you wouldn't have refused. Why did you go there secretly?"

Li Chengshi pondered and said, "Perhaps in order not to trouble me, the seven people he brought with him are no longer in the same camp..."

"Maybe?" Yan Ruyu's voice was slightly cold. "Envoy Li, did you find out from asking, or did you just think of it yourself to excuse him? You have lost the ability to make accurate judgments, and you are not suitable to interrogate this matter."

Li Chengshi was stunned and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He had to admit that Yan Ruyu was right.

Huo Changhe nodded and said, "Envoy Li, this is about your subordinates, so you should avoid suspicion. How about this, I will be the one to take charge of the investigation, and let Governor Cao assist in the investigation. What do you think?"

What else could Li Chengshi say? He was in the wrong to begin with.

"Follow the prince's arrangements."

He turned and left, his steps particularly heavy.

Yan Ruyu stood up and said, "That's great. I'll go to the governor's mansion and talk to Governor Cao about this."

Huo Changhe smiled bitterly: "Yu'er, don't be angry."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to feel guilty about other people's mistakes. This has nothing to do with you."

Yan Ruyu said it simply and directly. Huo Changhe sighed softly: "I'm worried that you will get angry."

Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment: "It's not that I'm angry, let's get down to business first."

Yan Ruyu couldn't describe her feelings. Was she angry? At first, she was, but later she felt that there was no need to be angry.

Forget it. Instead of getting angry with others, wasting time and getting angry with yourself, you might as well seize the time and get things done.

Governor Cao received Li Erlang's family yesterday, and according to what Yan Ruyu said, everything has been handled.

He also met Liu and gave her a sum of money for settling down and funeral expenses. He also asked her if she wanted Li Erlang's shop or something like that. If she wanted, he could transfer it to her.

But Liu refused.

Liu said that if it was convenient for the adults, they could turn the shop into a porridge shop and provide porridge to those who couldn't afford to eat.

She could donate some grain to the shop every year after her harvest.

Governor Cao was deeply moved and told his wife about it. Mrs. Cao also supported it and said on the spot that she would also count her share. She also wanted to talk to the other ladies and ask those who were willing to give a share to register.

When Yan Ruyu arrived, the couple were busy with this matter in the study.

Seeing Yan Ruyu coming, Mrs. Cao was very happy. She quickly greeted her and told her about the matter.

"This is a good thing, count me in."

With her joining, it will be easier.

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Madam can write something and set up a charity foundation. If you have money, you can donate money. Food, medicine, and cloth can all come from this. But the people who receive aid must also be investigated to see if the situation is true."

"Of course, it's not an unlimited donation. First, you have to meet the conditions. Second, you have to classify it according to your situation. It's not based on your status, but on your difficulty."

The more Madam Cao listened, the brighter her eyes became: "This is great. The princess always has so many good ideas. This is a great thing to accumulate merit. I am willing to do it. I will have something to do in the future."

She hurriedly took her leave and immediately went to make arrangements.

Governor Cao looked at his wife's back, smiling and proud.

"Master Cao, I came here this time to tell you something."

Governor Cao retracted his gaze and said quickly, "Princess, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

When Yan Ruyu told the story of last night, Governor Cao's brows furrowed.

"Is there such a thing? Okay, Princess, rest assured, I will fully cooperate with you. Whatever you say, I will do it. What do you need me to do?"

"This matter is of great importance, so we need to send some new faces," Yan Ruyu whispered, "I don't know how many people are watching in secret. A familiar face like Cui Chong may have been targeted by someone."

Governor Cao agreed and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will arrange the manpower. It will be available."

"Later, Xu Congshan will be released and regain his freedom. Let your people keep an eye on him secretly."

"Don't alert the enemy."

"In addition, we need to investigate his daily life. Apart from the military, what activities and friends does he have in the city?"
