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

Chapter 1520 Red Hair

Yan Ruyu returned to the mansion, thinking about what happened today, and took a new piece of paper to write down the rumors about the Goddess of the Sky Eye and Taoist Xuanqing.

Just as I put down my pen, the boss came to report.

"Princess, the old butler is here."

"Please ask him to come to the front hall."

Butler Shi came to deliver the small tuft of red hair.

He was wrapped in a square handkerchief, and his hair was maroon, which really looked like the hair of the Yaksha in the legend.

Yan Ruyu took the handkerchief and observed it carefully. There was no hair follicle on it.

There is nothing else that can be tested, we can only see whether it is human hair.

In fact, this doesn’t mean much. For Yan Ruyu, she has seen hair of all colors, colorful, blue, red, pink, nothing strange.

"Princess, can you find my wife's body?"

"I'll do my best," Yan Ruyu nodded, "Is General Shi back?"

"Not yet. He won't come back until he's found. I know him too well."

Steward Shi sighed and said, "Then I will take my leave first. Please take care of me, Princess."

Yan Ruyu asked the boss to send him out of the house and put the hair into the space for testing.

Just at this moment, a black shadow came over and the starling landed on her shoulder.

Yan Ruyu took a piece of dried meat and asked him to eat it while she opened the mailbox he brought back.

Huo Zhongmao has been very busy these days. The West City is being renovated, and there is a lot of demolition and construction going on, as well as various ceremonies. The orders for the incense shop are also increasing rapidly.

He didn't go anywhere these days, he was busy in the store and rarely went home.

He likes making incense and is truly passionate about it. He doesn't act like a shop owner and works with his fellow employees whenever he has free time.

When Yan Ruyu came, he was busy in the back wearing an apron and sleeves.

Upon hearing the news, he quickly washed his hands and went to the front hall.

"Princess, what are your orders?"

Yan Ruyu handed him the note: "Take a look at this and check the purchase records to see if it has been sold before."

Huo Zhongmao's spice shop is now big and doing good business. Not only do casual incense buyers come to buy, but there are also small peddlers who wholesale here.

They don't purchase expensive perfume powder and lip balm, but they will sell cheap incense sticks and incense coils.

Huo Zhongmao was very careful in his work. He recorded the preferences of important guests, as well as the types of food that peddlers usually liked to buy.

Huo Zhongmao quickly flipped through the record book and gave a quick reply: "Princess, this incense is not sold in our shop. I will check the peddler's record of buying incense."

He opened another notebook and searched line by line: "Yes, the most recent one was seven days ago, when a peddler named Liu bought a batch of this kind of incense."

"Seven days ago?"

"Yes, this is the most recent batch, and there are earlier ones."

Yan Ruyu waved her hand and said that there was no need for that any earlier. Seven days ago was a bit early.

"Do you know where this peddler named Liu usually sells his wares?"

Huo Zhongmao said without hesitation: "Yes, I have asked him. Please wait a moment, I will send someone to invite him."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone pushed a small truck to the door.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

"Shopkeeper Huo, I'm here again, still the same as always."

Huo Zhongmao whispered, "Princess, it's him."

Yan Ruyu looked back and saw that Liu the peddler was no more than twenty years old, with bright eyes and a clever look. He was wearing a blue cloth shirt with a belt around his waist, and looked neat and tidy.

Liu the peddler met Yan Ruyu's gaze, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he hurried forward to bow.

"Princess, I greet you."

Yan Ruyu smiled and nodded: "Do you know me?"

Liu the peddler smiled and said, "Of course I recognize you. You are our family's great benefactor. I am Wanmei's cousin."

Wanmei was a little maidservant of Song Yiyi. She was homeless at first and said she came to live with her relatives, but her relatives moved away and she almost died of hunger and cold.

Song Yiyi "bought" her, gave her money, and let her stay temporarily, waiting for her to find relatives before leaving.

As a result, Wanmei knelt down and volunteered to stay with Song Yiyi as a maid. She did her job very well and got along very well with Song Yiyi.

He originally thought that there was no hope of finding his relatives, but one time when he was accompanying Song Yiyi to the street to buy silk thread, he met Liu the peddler by chance, and the two recognized each other.

Liu the peddler's family originally lived in Xicheng. Later, their house became dilapidated and their parents passed away. So he rented a small place and made a living by selling small goods from door to door.

When they arrived at Wanmei again, they were both very happy.

With the renovation of West City, Liu the peddler can exchange his old house for a new one. Plus, he has some savings in recent years, so he can also open a small shop.

Seeing that the days are getting more and more prosperous.

Liu the peddler often went to see Wanmei, and Song Yiyi also asked Wanmei if she wanted to go with Liu the peddler, but Wanmei did not agree and still lived with Song Yiyi.

Liu the peddler was grateful to Song Yiyi and even more grateful to Yan Ruyu, but he felt his status was humble and did not dare to go to the palace to express his gratitude. Unexpectedly, he met her here today.

When Yan Ruyu heard him talking about Wanmei, it suddenly dawned on her that she had only heard Song Yiyi say a while ago that Wanmei had found a relative, and she didn't expect it to be Liu the peddler.

After thanking him, Yan Ruyu said, "You came at the right time. I have something to ask you."

"Princess, just ask me, and I will tell you everything I know."

Yan Ruyu asked: "Zhaojiazhuang, has anyone asked you to buy incense recently?"

Huo Zhongmao took a stick of incense and said, "This is it."

"Yes," Liu the peddler thought without hesitation, "I have good legs and feet. When the weather warms up, I will go shopping not only in the city, but also in the villages outside the city. Zhaojiazhuang is very big, and there are three villages around it. Many people come to buy things there."

"Three days ago, I went to Zhaojiazhuang, and someone bought all my incense."

"Look, I'm here to stock up again today."

Huo Zhongmao quickly packed up what he usually requested and loaded the car for him.

Yan Ruyu continued to ask: "Do you remember who bought the incense? Besides the incense, did you want anything else?"

"I remember. He was a wealthy family and well-known in their area. His last name was also Zhao."

"Mr. Zhao?"

"Yes, yes, that's what it's called. In addition to incense, I also bought some thread, both white and green. They're all sold out, and I just bought some to replenish the stock."

"You were at their doorstep at the time? Did you feel anything was wrong? Think about it."

Liu the peddler thought carefully and said, "There is nothing wrong, but I feel that the people in their family are not in a good mood."

If you ask again, there is nothing else.

The peddler sells things only outside the door. People come out to call him, and they buy the goods and leave. If you don't pay close attention, you won't notice anything.

"Princess, if you want to know, I will go there right now."

"No need," Yan Ruyu smiled, "You've already helped."

Huo Zhongmao just came in, and Yan Ruyu said, "The payment for the goods today will be put on my account. When he comes next time, he will pay at cost price."

"Yes."

The peddler Liu waved his hands quickly, "No, no, that won't do. My cousin and I have both received great favors from the princess, how dare we take advantage of her? Princess, rest assured, I will work hard and live a good life, and live up to the princess' kindness to the people of Youcheng."
