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

Chapter 1623 Talking about the Origin

As soon as Yan Ruyu said this, Li Si opened his eyes again.

Looking at the poisons on the table, a hint of uneasiness flashed across his face.

"What? Are you scared?"

Li Si gritted his teeth and said, "It's none of other people's business. I did it all. Whatever tricks or poisons were used, they were all directed at me. It has nothing to do with others."

"That's not up to you," Yan Ruyu smiled lightly, her fingertips stroking a white jade bottle, "This bottle is colorless and tasteless. If you drop it into tea, just two drops can cause a person's intestines to burst."

"One pill of this can make a person fall into a coma, and when they wake up again, they will become a fool."

"and this……"

Li Si's expression changed again and again, and his breathing became increasingly rapid: "What do you want?"

"Tell me who's behind you, or else, you'll take on the others, one by one."

Li Si clenched his back teeth and his face turned red.

……

Li Sugui hadn't slept yet, feeling that tonight would not be peaceful. Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside, and subconsciously he grasped his sword tightly.

Li San's voice came from under the window: "Boss, it's bad, Li Si... hasn't come back yet."

Li Sugui immediately opened the door: "Where did he go?"

Li San looked ashamed: "He said he wanted to see if those people were drugged. If not, he would add some more incense to prevent any accidents or complications. But he was gone for a long time and didn't come back. I was worried..."

Li Sugui shouted, "How foolish! You know the power of the medicine, but going to see it so rashly will only lead to complications."

"Well, what should we do now?" Li San was unwilling. "How about I go and take a look. If there really is something wrong, we can take care of it."

Li Sugui's face was gloomy: "Who do you think I am? Let's go and see."

Li San quickly stopped him: "Boss, this won't do. If you go, our inn..."

"Let's not talk about this now. Which is more important, the people or the inn?" Li Sugui sighed heavily. "Besides, this may not necessarily lead to a dead end."

……

Li Si still refused to confess, and Huo Changhe admired him a little.

But things still need to be done.

"Go, grab a guy."

Yinding turned around and walked out.

Yan Ruyu stopped him, "Wait, catch two. I want to see whether the potion is more poisonous or the pill is more poisonous."

"Yes."

Li Si struggled hard: "Come at me, don't touch my brother!"

Yinding walked to the door and two people arrived outside.

"Everyone, don't bother any more, I'm here."

Li Sugui walked in with Li San.

"Excuse me, everyone," Li Sugui bowed and looked around the room.

Seeing that Li Si was tied up but had no injuries, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Sugui's eyes fell on Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu.

"You two, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I am the shopkeeper, and Li Si is also following my orders."

Li Si shouted: "No, no, I did it myself."

Li Sugui glared at him and signaled him to shut up.

Then he turned to look at Uncle Sima: "Mr. Sima, you are here too."

Uncle Sima was stunned: "Do you recognize me?"

For the sake of safety, they told others that they were traveling along the way and took aliases. When registering at the inn, they used the surname "Ma".

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu looked at each other, also a little surprised.

Before anyone asked, Li Sugui made it clear himself.

Li Sugui bowed his hands and said, "If I'm not mistaken, all this is caused by your illness."

"Can I have a word?"

Uncle Sima glanced at Huo Changhe, who nodded.

"I used to wander around the world with my father, and I once received the kindness of the old prime minister. In the eleventh year of this dynasty, the old prime minister was still the governor of Yongzhou. My father was slandered as a bandit by the county magistrate and was unjustly imprisoned."

"I was young at the time and had nowhere to turn to, so I had to seek help from the governor who was traveling, your father. He was very perceptive and did not blame me for going beyond my authority to file a complaint. He even vindicated my father, investigated the case, and cleared his name."

"My father and I were reunited. At that time, my father often told me that if I had the chance, I would repay the Sima family for their kindness."

"Later, when we heard that the Sima family had been exiled, my father and I went to look for them. Unfortunately, we were too far away at that time, and we were one step too late. The old prime minister had already... For this, my father often blamed himself, and soon died of depression."

"Many years have passed. I have been running an inn here. I accidentally heard from a guest that you were leaving for Beijing. I was extremely happy. I thought I would treat you well if I could see you again."

"I didn't expect something strange to happen in the valley. I've been here for many years and have never seen anything like this. I think it might be related to you."

"The valley has a special terrain. If we set up an ambush on both sides, the people below will surely suffer. So, I thought of a way to let Li Si give you a little bit of poison, so that you will be sick and stay in the inn for a while."

"I plan to wait until this is over, and then..."

Li Sugui smiled bitterly: "Who knew that things would turn out like this."

After he said this, he bowed deeply.

"Mr. Sima, it is my fault. If you want to punish me, I will admit it. I will kneel down and kowtow to admit my fault."

He lifted his robe and knelt down: "You have the final say on what I should do."

Uncle Sima was extremely surprised. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

He subconsciously reached out to help Li Sugui.

Huo Changhe chuckled: "Manager Li is a smart man. He knows that Mr. Sima is the easiest to talk to, so he went after him."

Li Sugui said seriously: "I have absolutely no such intention."

"If you don't believe me, I will call all my men here immediately, and you can interrogate them one by one to see if they are false."

Li San said quickly, "It's true. We all know about it."

He suddenly thought of something: "Oh, right, there is a secret compartment in Shopkeeper Li's room. The tablet of Prime Minister Sima is placed in the secret compartment. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the shopkeeper will burn incense without interruption."

Li Si also nodded: "Indeed, we all know it."

"We will be responsible for the shopping. We will go out at the end of the month and on the 12th and 13th. The offerings, incense and candles will all be of the best quality."

"If you don't believe me, you can check the account books. They're all recorded."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the boss, who nodded and turned to leave.

Not long after, an account book was brought over.

Yan Ruyu looked through the account books and looked at the early records for half a year, and it was indeed as they said.

Yinding was also taken out to check whether there was a secret compartment in Li Sugui's room, and whether there was a tablet of the old prime minister in the secret compartment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Ruyu asked, "You have lived here for a long time. Has anything like this ever happened in that valley before?"

Li Sugui shook his head: "Never. When it's windy, rainy, or snowing, some dead trees may fall from above and block the passage. That's possible."

"But to talk about human death and ghosts, this has never happened before."

Li San and Li Si also nodded: "Indeed."

Judging from their expressions, it doesn't seem fake.
