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

Chapter 1618 Beard and Portrait

Where the silver ingot pointed to the beam of light, there was a black object falling between two stones.

So, I didn’t see it clearly at first.

He went over to pick it up, but Yan Ruyu said, "I'll do it."

He took out a handkerchief, used it to pad his hands, and picked up the mass.

Yinding recognized it at the first sight: "This is a fake beard."

He was very familiar with this stuff. Beibei tinkered with it all day long. There were several kinds of beards of various styles.

He also had it on his face.

Huo Changhe frowned: "Why is there a fake beard here?"

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, do you remember that Master Sima once said that one of the six men had a beard?"

Huo Changhe understood instantly: "You mean, the beard is fake, and this is the beard?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "However, whether it is true or not still needs further verification."

After restoring the cave entrance to its original state, the three men fell to the ground and left the valley with Jiang Paopao and Li Zaibiao.

After returning to the inn along the original route, Huo Changhe asked Yinding and Jiang Paopao to go back and rest first.

"Zai Biao," Huo Changhe said, "you come with me."

The three of them went to Uncle Sima's yard.

The yard was dark and there was only a dim light in the house.

But Uncle Sima hadn't fallen asleep yet. He knew that Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu had gone to the valley tonight, and he couldn't sleep at all.

When I heard the noise, I hurried over to open the door.

"My Lord, my Princess, Brother Zaibiao, come in quickly."

The three of them entered the house and turned on the lights.

Huo Changhe got straight to the point: "Master, I have something to ask you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Do you remember what kind of clothes the bearded man was wearing?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Uncle Sima thought for a moment and said, "I remember that he was wearing a dark blue robe with a silk ribbon of the same color tied around his waist."

He thought for a moment and said, "On his left sleeve, there is a bamboo embroidered on it. It is not very big, about half a palm long."

"I didn't notice it at first, but I saw it when he lifted the door curtain before leaving."

Yan Ruyu nodded and looked at Li Zaibiao: "Describe your friend's appearance and I will draw a portrait of him."

Borrowing paper and pen from Uncle Sima, Yan Ruyu quickly drew the appearance of his friend according to what Li Zaibiao said.

Li Zaibiao felt sad and surprised: "Yes, this is him, he looks like this."

Yan Ruyu showed the portrait to Uncle Sima: "Take a look, is this person one of the six?"

Uncle Sima knew that this matter could not be taken lightly, so he carefully looked it up and down several times and thought about it seriously.

Finally, he shook his head and said, "No."

Li Zaibiao subconsciously clenched his fists: "But...how..."

Huo Changhe suddenly asked: "Weren't you in the hall when those six people showed up?"

"I wasn't there," Li Zaibiao said. "Some of the people I was traveling with didn't eat in the front hall. I took the waiter to deliver the food to the courtyard and just missed them."

Uncle Sima nodded: "Yes, Brother Biao has taken good care of us along the way, which is very appropriate."

Yan Ruyu said again: "Well, you tell me the appearance of these six people and I will paint them."

Only by knowing the appearance can we find clues.

"it is good."

Time passed little by little, and Yan Ruyu painted one picture after another.

Finally, all six paintings were completed.

Yan Ruyu stood up and said, "It's getting late, everyone should have a good rest first, and we can talk about the rest tomorrow."

Everyone went their separate ways and when they reached the courtyard gate, Yan Ruyu grabbed Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe understood, and the two of them returned to the place where the corpse was placed.

According to what Uncle Sima said, the bearded man's body was found.

His head was also missing, so it was impossible to tell whether he had a beard or not, but Yan Ruyu was not there to verify the beard.

She took out the fake beard she had picked up from the cave, which still had a few pieces of skin scraps stuck to it.

Taking some tissue from the body, she whispered, "We can go back and test it and confirm if the man wearing the fake beard is him."

When I returned to the yard, I met the boss, who reported what happened tonight.

"Nothing unusual happened. The guys patrolled at night and reminded everyone to close their doors and windows and not to be too scared. Then they helped to extinguish the lanterns in the courtyard and left. No one came back."

"Okay, I understand. You should go and rest too."

Yan Ruyu went back to the house to wash and rest, then entered the space for testing.

Just wait for the results to come out tomorrow morning.

The night passed quickly, Yan Ruyu woke up, and the test results came out.

She took a look at the display above and took it out of the space.

Huo Changhe had already gotten up and was talking to Yinding in the yard.

Yinding got up the earliest and went to watch the place where the corpse was placed. Until he came to report the situation, no one went to check.

Seeing Yan Ruyu coming out, Huo Changhe turned around and asked, "Yu'er, is there any result?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "The results show that the person who used the fake beard is not the same person as the corpse."

Huo Changhe held the result in his hand and said, "This matter... is so weird. Nothing matches up with anything."

Yinding said, "My Lord, Princess, shall I go to the valley again to see if there are any ghosts or accidents?"

Huo Changhe rejected it: "No, the situation is not clear yet, nothing has been investigated, it's too dangerous for you to go like this."

Yinding patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Are you still not confident in my skills?"

"Li Zaibiao's friends are also good at fighting," Huo Changhe said, "We must not be careless. We have no clue at all. We must not be reckless."

Yinding wanted to say something, but Yan Ruyu said, "Your Majesty is right, let's talk later."

She looked down at the results, thinking about what she had discovered in the mountains and the bodies, and fell into deep thought.

At this time, in the small courtyard of Shencheng.

The little boy walked into the room and reported: "Sir, they are back."

"How's it going?"

"Stop the Sima family outside the valley. The King of Zhennan and his wife have already joined them."

"That's great," Mr. Mo took a sip of tea, "Then tell them not to go again, and leave the rest to the King of Zhennan."

"Yes."

Mr. Mo was in a good mood and drank half a cup of tea. With Huo Changhe's help, there would surely be no more problems.

Unexpectedly, there would be a time when the Prince of Zhennan could help him.

I don’t know what Huo Changhe’s expression would be if he knew the truth in the future.

……

Yan Ruyu said to Yinding, "Go and see if the government officials have arrived and when they will take the body away."

"Yes."

The eldest boss stepped forward and said, "I'll go check on Shopkeeper Li to see if there's any movement."

Li Zaibiao also hurried over. There were dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he did not sleep well either.

"My Lord, Princess, what can I do?"

Huo Changhe said: "Well, you and Paopao go to your friend's house again to see if there are any other discoveries."

After assigning them out, Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu returned to the room and took notes.

The anomaly of the corpse, the fake beard and the beard of the six people are not the same person;

There is also a formation near the fence wall;

And strips of cloth on branches in the valley, earrings, and caves.

These things are definitely related.

What could it be?
