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

Chapter 1705 It turns out to be you

More than an hour later, Yan Ruyu was sitting in the tent, her consciousness resting in the space.

A shout was heard.

She quickly retreated from the space and went outside the tent.

The prospector ran over happily, suppressing the excitement in his throat: "Princess, there is... iron ore in here!"

Yan Ruyu was surprised, and instantly figured out some of the key points.

No wonder the Qiu family spent so much effort, poisoning and forcing the purchase, it turns out there is an iron mine here!

In ancient times, iron, like salt, was an important resource that had to be controlled by the imperial court.

Qiu Keshi was just a businessman and he couldn't use the iron ore even if he got it. This only shows that he was cooperating with others.

This "other" should not just be a certain person, but a force.

Being able to mine iron ore, smelt it into iron, and then transport it away is something that ordinary people cannot do.

Yan Ruyu guessed that even if this matter had nothing to do with Mr. Mo, it could not be ignored.

The person behind the Qiu family must be caught.

When the abbot heard that it was an iron mine, he was inevitably a little disappointed. How great it would be if it was a gold mine!

Yan Ruyu saw what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Everyone is tired, let's take a rest first."

Shopkeeper Yu said quickly, "Princess, why don't you all go to the manor to rest? This place is a bit too simple, I can just take a few people to guard it here."

The abbot thought to himself, you want to live in a tent, right?

Yan Ruyu didn't point it out, she turned around and looked at them: "Who among you wants to live in the manor?"

The two explorers looked at each other and said, "This place is important. The two of us will stay here."

The abbot's enthusiasm was reduced a lot: "Okay, I will go back to the manor."

They set up three tents, just enough for each of them, and the abbot and Yan Ruyu returned to the farm.

Yan Ruyu glanced at him and said, "Don't be upset. Although iron ore cannot be used as money directly like gold mines, it also has many benefits."

"Weapons are needless to say. Think about it, in this era, important things cannot be separated from iron, farming, farm tools. We want to develop and build the northwest in the future, and farming and infrastructure are indispensable. If we don't have enough iron, we have to find a way to buy it, and the cost is not small."

"If this mine is big enough, then we don't have to buy it in the future, and we can even sell it. Isn't that a profit?"

The abbot's eyes lit up: "Huh? That's right."

"Besides, you are not a greedy person," Yan Ruyu said with a guilty conscience, "Isn't reputation more important than money? You have already established your reputation in Youcheng, and in the future it will be the entire northwest."

The abbot was overjoyed and his fighting spirit was high. He nodded repeatedly, "You are right. It is a lot of money. We already have a gold mine. It is meaningless to have another one. It is better to have an iron mine. It can be used for forging, benefiting the people, and can be sold for money. It is the best."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "That's right."

That's right, you are a money-grubber.

Everyone went back to the courtyard to rest. It was Yan Ruyu's first time to this farm, so she didn't feel safe. She also couldn't sleep because she had just discovered an iron mine.

She wanted to tell Huo Changhe the news immediately.

His consciousness entered the space and he wrote down what happened today in a letter. Halfway through, he felt that it was inappropriate. Not to mention that it was not easy to send such a long letter by carrier pigeon, even if it could be sent, he had to consider the safety issue.

After thinking it over, I decided to give up.

I don’t know what the situation is like over there, and when he can return to Youcheng.

……

Huo Changhe stepped forward, pulled off the hood of his black cloak, revealing his true face.

Xiao Chiye followed and was surprised: "Lü Tai, is that you?"

Lu Tai was the deputy general who was punished by Xiao Chiye with a military stick that day.

Lu Tai and Lu Ren were a pair of brothers. They were considered to be Xiao Chiye's capable men and were highly respected and trusted.

Xiao Chiye couldn't believe it: "How could it be you?"

Lu Ren's face turned pale: "Brother? Why are you..."

Seeing that his actions were exposed, Lu Tai no longer tried to hide it: "It was me, that's right."

"Then Constable Liu, you killed him?" Huo Changhe asked angrily, "Why?"

"It's his own fault. He was stupid and didn't know what to do. He found me and urged me to turn myself in. I pretended to agree and used him as a scapegoat. I killed two birds with one stone."

"I can get rid of him and let him take the blame for me."

"Were you the one who placed those so-called evidences?" Huo Changhe asked.

"Yes, to make you believe it was him, I had to put in something, including the money in the bank, which was also mine."

Lu Tai spread his hands indifferently: "I have said everything I need to say. You can kill me or chop me up, whatever you want."

Huo Changhe didn't think he had said it all: "Who are you working for?"

Lu Tai's eyes flickered: "This question..."

Before he finished speaking, a purple color suddenly appeared in his eyes and instantly spread to the whites of his eyes, looking weird and terrifying.

Lu Ren was so frightened that he screamed, took a few steps back and almost fell down.

Huo Changhe immediately supported Lu Tai and put a pill into his mouth, but it was too late.

Lu Tai fell to the ground, no longer breathing.

Xiao Chiye's expression also changed, and he whispered: "This seems to be..."

He didn't say anything else, but Huo Changhe understood what he wanted to say and nodded with a serious look: "Not bad."

Xiao Chiye's breath was slightly choked: "But, wasn't their tribe destroyed?"

"The destruction of a tribe doesn't mean all the people are dead," Huo Changhe said in a cold voice.

Xiao Chiye remained silent, still shocked.

Huo Changhe stood up: "Search his residence, the body..."

He was about to speak when he met Lu Ren's gaze.

Lu Ren had already recognized who he was, and he couldn't bring himself to ask him to hand over his brother's body to him.

Collaborating with the enemy, treason, murder, causing civil unrest, any one of these is worthy of death by slow slicing.

It would be a bargain to die like this now with an intact body.

It is understandable if the prince wants to destroy the corpse.

Huo Changhe asked: "You really know nothing about this matter? Do you think there is anything unusual about him?"

Lu Ren's face was full of tears. He thought for a long time and shook his head: "Your Highness, I really didn't notice it. If I had, I would not let my brother go down this path."

Huo Changhe believed 70% of what Lu Ren said. The secret guards had been watching him for the past few days and there was indeed nothing abnormal about Lu Ren.

Xiao Chiye stated: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will find out where the two brothers live and what they have done in the past few days."

Huo Changhe would not waste too much time on this matter, and nodded: "In this case, the body will be handed over to you."

"Yes."

"Detective Liu," Huo Changhe said, feeling sorry for him, "bury him properly."

"Yes, Prince, don't worry."

It's such a pity that a young man who could have had a bright future died like this.

But people like Li Qi are still alive.

However, this crime is enough to behead him.

Huo Changhe led his men back to Shencheng. Military Doctor Cao had just changed his clothes. When he saw Huo Changhe coming back, he hurried over to ask, "How is the situation?"

"Has the person been caught?"

"He was caught, but he's already dead."

"How did he die?" Doctor Cao was surprised.

"Poisoned, poison from the seven grass flowers of the Guanwai tribe."

Doctor Cao opened his eyes slightly.
