The Delicate Lady Coroner

Bo Ruo quietly carried the cage on the carriage. Just after sitting down, Huo Weilou had caught her hand. He tapped on the wall of the carriage, and the carriage moved around and drove out of the streets in front of Cheng's house.

His palms were rough, dry and warm, and thin Ruoyou hands were wrapped in his big palms. Before saying anything, he felt that he was leaning forward, causing the back of her hands to fall on his forehead, "I'm afraid I will delay all night. "

The corners of Bo Ruoyou’s lips were slightly curved, and her voice was low because the carriage was so dim.

Huo Weilou raised his eyes from the back of her hand and looked at her very closely, "It's still the corruption case in Weicang, Qinshui County. Now it is very involved, and an important court official has died."

Bo Ruoyou looked down. This was not an ordinary homicide case. She did not ask much. Huo Weilou explained two more sentences, "This matter is very important and affects the northwestern war preparations and rations. The soldiers guard the sides to meet the enemy. Feed their stomachs, and if there is any delay, there will be accidents. The dead... are the servants of the Ministry of Households."

Bo Ruoyouxin's hair is tight, and the servant is the third-rank job, which can be described as the middle humerus. If such a person is murdered, how high is the murderer who murdered him?

Seeing her Shen Ning was silent, Huo Weilou also said in a straightforward voice, "With me, don't be afraid, just treat it as an ordinary homicide."

Bo Ruoyou's tense back was slightly loose, "Okay, I'm not afraid."

Huo Weilou squeezed her palm, and then asked her if she had gone to the Yamen in the past two days. Bo Ruoyou answered, thinking of the case of the horse riding in the market, hesitated a little, but did not tell. She could see Huo Weilou. There is a lot of exhaustion on the face, and Huang's has given up the prison lawsuit, she said nothing more.

However, Huo Weilou stared at him, "What's the matter?"

Bo Ruoyou shook her head quickly. She prided herself on being calm, and she seldom showed her face from the bottom of her heart, and at the moment, the carriage was dim, and she didn't know how he could see it.

As soon as Huo Weilou could see it, she naturally wouldn't be coaxed by her, and then said in a low tone, "Is it the Yamen business? Tell me to listen, lest I go to inquire."

He had a compelling look, persevering, Bo Ruoyou sighed, and briefly described the case of the horse hurting others.

Huo Weilou frowned, "Son of Wei Shu..."

Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said: "The Huang family is no longer willing to go to court. I must sue Hou Ye."

Huo Weilou was helpless when he heard it, "If I don't ask more, you won't tell me and listen to me? Although you are not very angry, there is an injustice in your heart."

"Hou Ye usually worry about family and country matters. Although this case is unfair, you don't have to worry about Hou Ye. Moreover, Wei Shangshu is a court official, Hou Ye is above him, and each department has its own rules. , I shouldn't say more."

Huo Weilou shook her hand and couldn't help tightening his eyes, and his eyes were deep, "I really don't need to deal with this case, but you are so upset, it's worth telling me, and I want to listen."

Bo Ruoyou's face was slightly hot, Huo Weilou slowly rubbed the back of her hand, as if to comfort her, "Huang really shouldn't continue to pursue a lawsuit. Although it is unfair, it is better than losing his life."

Bo Ruoyou sighed, "I understand, but I feel a sense of hopelessness."

Huo Weilou looked at her, "Youyou—"

Bo Ruoyou's heart jumped suddenly, his face turned red, and he looked at him with a little surprise. He didn't expect him to call her like this. He was chuckled by her look like this, "Why? I can't call you like this. ?"

Bo Ruoyou slowly shook his head, his eyelashes trembled, and some uncontrollable shyness surged upwards, Huo Weilou smiled deeper, and said to her: "You don't have to be depressed by this matter, seeing that Wei Shu has blessed Wei Yan. , But the supervisor of Yushitai will record this matter in the book, and those who regard him as hostile will also pay attention to this matter. Sooner or later it will cost him."

The bottom of Bo Ruoyou's pupil was shining. Just at this moment, the carriage drove through the downtown area, and the lights outside the curtain entered through the gap. Her eyes were as bright as stars. Huo Weilou couldn't help but caress the corner of her eye: "What's the cause? Worry?"

Bo Ruo thought about it for a moment, and then talked about the Bo family's visit. Huo Weilou frowned, and his face was hard to see. "Dafang doesn't know what is good or bad, and the second room does nothing. It is nothing but to deceive your parents and no one is in charge of you. ." He squeezed her hand tightly, as if thinking about something.

Bo Ruoyou pulled him back, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I don't worry about this. The foster father has made it clear to them that they don't dare to entangle anymore. Now they are afraid of extra branches."

Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes stared at her. Of course he understood the meaning. Lin Zhao didn't know about it. If Lin Zhao knew that he was a different person when he was a child, even if Lin Zhao still recognizes the relationship now, it is still thin in his heart. I want to be special.

Not to mention, Lin Zhao is now enthusiastic about Bo Ruoyouben.

"There is a way to completely solve this matter." Huo Weilou said in a gloomy voice, "If you have a new relationship, anyone's careful thoughts will be lost. It can be said to be a once-and-for-all solution."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes trembled, "Master Hou..."

Huo Weilou could see that she was still unhappy, her thin lips were slightly pursed, her expression dimmed, she looked disappointed, Bo Ruoyou looked at him for a moment, and saw that he was not as angry as he used to be, and he stopped verbalizing her to force her. , My heart was slightly relaxed, and his voice was lowered, "Hou Ye?"

Huo Weilou didn't look at her, and with his empty hand, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows very uncomfortably, as if her hesitant appearance was the most hurtful, thin and beautiful, her voice softened a little bit. Lord Hou..."

She was already acting like a baby at this time, Huo Weilou's heartstrings moved slightly, but her face was sad, "No matter, I know you don't want to, you have a lot of trade-offs in your heart, and you have more respect for me and less friendship, so you don't want to respond to me. ."

He has always been intimidating and intimidating others. Where can I see him frustrated because of other things, Bo Ruoyou can't bear it, "It's not that I don't want it, there are so many complicated scruples here, how can you make a decision with a word?"

Huo Weilou looked at her and asked in a low voice, "Then you have me in your heart?"

Bo Ruoyou's face was red as blood, but she saw Huo Wei Lou Baba looking at her again. She finally whispered, "If there is no Lord Hou in my heart, why would..." She looked at Huo Wei Lou and held her tightly. Hand, "How can I make Lord Hou be like this?"

After she finished speaking, she became embarrassed and wanted to struggle, but Huo Weilou held her both hands together, her phoenix eyes were burning with eagerness, as if she wanted to do something more, he stared at her for a few moments. The throat rolled slightly, and then he remembered where he was going on this trip, and tried to suppress the enthusiasm in the eyes, "Finally, you have some conscience."

She woke up from a serious injury that day. He couldn't bear to confess her heart, but she had to reluctantly "admirate" the word. Later, he was arbitrary and frightened her. Now that January is past, she is finally guarded against misfortune. Song, Huo Weilou sighed in his heart, and there was another kind of love that was more abundant and heavy than the joy of winning a big victory over the city.

In the past twenty years, he has tasted this for the first time. The lake of heart that has been calm for many years is hot, and there is even an evil fire escaping, but he knows that if he takes one more step, he will scare the people in front of him. Return.

The carriage slowed down at this time. Huo Weilou's six senses were keen, and he glanced out with the curtains. After seeing the street scene, he knew that his destination was approaching. He came to see Bo Ruoyou again, and gently urged, "I am not alone today. I'll be by your side. You can do the post-mortem at ease, don’t worry about the others. I will send you home after the post-mortem."

Bo Ruoyou was stunned by his gentle expression and nodded obediently.

Speaking of tolerance, she was obedient and obedient. Huo Weilou's heart filled with a bit of taste. When the carriage stopped, she reluctantly let go of her hand. He got out of the carriage first, waited for her to get out, and stretched out his hand to help. , Bo Ruoyou had taken care of the shelter of the carriage. He took a dissatisfied look before handing it up. Fortunately, all his confidants were all around him.

He raised his head and glanced at the house in front of him, but it was a mansion of the Zhuhu family with white walls. The word "Song House" was written, and the attendant came forward and called the door. It was Ning Xiao who opened the door. Ning Xiao was not surprised to see her coming, but just swept her. He cast his eyes down at a glance, "Master Hou, all the people who don't want to be sent away."

Huo Weilou looked back at Bo Ruoyou, and saw that she was carrying the wooden box containing the autopsy objects. She raised her hand and took it. Ning Xiao took a look and quickly took a step forward, "Master Hou, give it to your subordinates."

Huo Weilou handed it over and walked deep into the house, Bo Ruoyou followed him closely.

The whole mansion was completely dark, and it was Huo Wei Building. It was only led by the embroidered clothes ambassador with lights. The corridors they walked were so wide that they lead directly to the main courtyard. After a short while, Huo Wei Building took her into one place. Elegant courtyard.

The courtyard is brightly lit, especially in the upper rooms. When you walk into the atrium, you can see the shadows on the window lattices.

Huo Weilou's footsteps were not fast, so he had just entered the upper room, and Bo Ruoyou walked in. In an instant, all the people in the upper room who had time to salute in the future looked towards her.

There were seven or eight people standing in the house, and Bo Ruoyou glanced quickly, only to see that Lin Huai recognized him.

"Cousin, what do you mean?"

A double ten-year-old young man opened his mouth first. He was a handsome man with intricate embroidered patterns on his clothes. The thin and quiet eyes passed by, and he saw the five-claw beetle dragon on his robe.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the prince of a prostitute could wear a five-claw dragon gown, and he also called Huo Weilou a cousin...Bo Ruoyou's heart was slightly shaken, but I don't know who this is.

"Bo Ruoyou, Wu Zuo, this time I ask her to come for an autopsy." Huo Weilou said concisely.

The people in the room looked at each other, and the previous person said again: "In the past, you brought the Ming family young master with you in these important cases."

Huo Weilou said with an ordinary expression: "Is he serious and inconvenient." After finishing speaking, he didn't explain much. Instead, he looked at the curtain to the west of the house and said to Bo Ruo secluded: "Come with me."

When speaking to Bo Ruoyou, his tone was much more gentle, but he didn't speak much, and other people couldn't hear it. At this time, another man in a green robe in his thirties said: "A female widow, really unheard of."

Lin Huai said, "I don't want you to blame it in the future. Let me clarify that this old friend is the daughter of my old friend. Follow Lord Hou for an autopsy."

When everyone heard this, the person asked again earlier: "It means... the case of the Anqing Houfu was also examined by this woman? You said she was the daughter of your old friend, from the capital? Which one is from?"

Lin Huai nodded, "Yes, Second Highness, she is the daughter of the Bo family."

The expressions of the people changed again, and it seemed that they had never thought that the daughters of the family would perform this kind of slavery.

On this side, Huo Weilou entered the curtain with Bo Ruoyou. Inside was a study room. At this moment, a narrow door appeared on the wall to the right of the study room, which seemed to lead to a dark room.

Huo Wei said in the corridor: "The body is in the secret room."

Huo Weilou took Bo Ruoyou into the secret door, and then walked over a ten-step corridor into the dark room. As soon as he entered the dark room, Bo Ruoyou saw books, paper and pens lying on the ground. The layout of the dark room was simple. , A three-sided cabinet, a desk on the north side, a low couch and a set of tables and stools on the west side, there are many rare things in the treasure pavilion, but some paper tubes are piled on top of each other. At this moment, most of the paper tubes are on the ground. , The lid was opened and there was nothing inside.

The deceased was lying prone on the desk in the north.

Lying on his stomach was a tall and thin man who was not confused about his age. His temples were gray, his complexion was purple, and the corners of his lips were stained with indistinguishable dirt. Bo Ruoyou felt that he was poisoned and died when he saw it. The dangerous building opened his mouth.

"This person's name is Song Yu. He is the servant of the household department. He has a lot to do with the corruption case investigated recently. He didn't have any serious problems in the early court. He didn't return to the house immediately after he got down, and he didn't go to the office. It was dusk when he returned home, and no one was following him. When he came back, his face was sweating and it was quite uncomfortable. The servant at home asked him. He only said that he felt sick when he had eaten bad stomach. , Two guests came up in the middle mansion, but the servant was delayed. When he got back with the medicine, he saw the guest leave, and the host was dead—"

Huo Weilou paused, and then said: "Then the embroiderer arrived. Originally, when it was dark today, he was going to be arrested in the prison."

He was supposed to be arrested in a prison, but he died before the embroiderer came!

Bo Ruoyou looked at this dark room. There were no obvious traces of footprints on the floor, but the pen, ink and paper on the book case were turned under the table. The empty paper tubes indicated that someone had searched it and even took the things in it. gone.

Bo Ruoyou didn't ask who the two people in the middle were. He turned around and took the box in Ning Xiao's hand, and then prepared for an autopsy. She cautiously walked to the deceased and collected the dirt on the corners of his lips and the table. A little bit of his exposed head, face, hands, etc., when she was performing an autopsy, the people waiting outside came to the door of the dark room.

The dark room was small, and so many people came all of a sudden, and the air suddenly became a little bit turbulent, and everyone looked at Bo Ruoyou, as if to prove whether Bo Ruoyou would actually do an autopsy.

Huo Weilou was standing on the side with a solemn expression. At this moment, seeing so many people staring at Bo Ruoyou without blinking, he was inexplicably unhappy, "What are they doing here? Go outside and wait."

His Royal Highness Zhao Xi saw Bo Ruoyou's head and looked at Song Yu's body without raising his head. The more he looked at his eyes, his eyes widened. "Cousin, how did you find this girl? This is too weird. Why doesn't a little girl stand by? Study, have you learned this scum?"

Zhao Xi's status is noble, and he has no evasive words. Huo Weilou frowned and looked at him, "Whether it is a man or a woman, it is a good job to find out the truth. This case involves your uncle. If she finds out the truth, you still should Thank her."

Zhao Xi opened his mouth, "I..." He pointed at himself, then pointed at Bo Ruoyou, and said in his heart, he is dignified, to thank a little girl? Still a little girl who is an underservant?

He only felt that Huo Weilou's remarks degraded his status, but he was always jealous of this cousin, so he could not help but smiled: "It's better to find a true chapter, otherwise, I will tell my father, cousin, you are now Regardless of public and private matters, she was fooled by a beautiful woman and smiled for the Pomeranian, making her treat such important events as jokes."

Although Bo Ruoyou looked attentive, but Zhao Xi's voice was high, how she couldn't hear it, she was inexplicably tight when she heard it, and she glanced at Huo Wei Tower very quickly, and she was even more energetic.

Huo Weilou sneered at this moment, "Then your Majesty may be even more happy."

Huo Weilou has never been close to women, and he feels a little cut off from human desires. Emperor Jianhe has repeatedly inquired and urged him. However, Huo Weilou will still do his own way. If he knows that there is someone around him, even if he is slack in errands, Xu will be more happy than that. blame.

Zhao Xi touched his nose, "It's nothing more, I'll stay outside."

As soon as Zhao Xi left, a few people followed and left. Lin Huai and Shicai were the only ones left behind. Seeing Bo Ruoyou's appearance, the man in the green robe was quite surprised. It's rare, it's not panic at all."

Lin Huai smiled and nodded, with some appreciation in her eyes.

There are a lot of court officials today, and they don’t know her, and there are two His Royal Highnesses. With so many people watching, Bo Ruoyou's face is not nervous, but he has a focused and awe-inspiring expression, which makes people feel trustworthy inexplicably. , Although Hao is a low-ranking servant, but if her post-mortem skill is so good that the truth can emerge and the innocent can be washed away from the suspicion, what about the low-ranking servant?

Hearing the words of the two of them, Huo Weilou's eyes brightened, and he couldn't help but want to stand closer to her. You know, at first in Qingzhou, he was attracted to her like this, even with the disgusting woman in his heart. The habit of entering tolerance is relieved.

Bo Ruoyou listened to the words of the second prince, but she didn't show it on the face. This time the suspicious case is not trivial. She was brought by Huo Weilou. If the reason cannot be found, she will not be blamed or questioned. It would only be Huo Weilou. This thought made her already serious mind even more tense. When she concentrated on her mind, the eyes and words of others disappeared.

After the investigation, Bo Ruoyou suddenly raised his eyes, "Master Hou, the cause of death is poisoning, why and when the poisoning needs autopsy." After speaking, he looked at the dark room and said, "It is inconvenient here."

It was a court official who died, and it was very involved. Of course, autopsy was nothing. Huo Weilou ordered the embroidered clothes ambassador to carry the deceased into the west wing of the study. Under the suspicion of everyone in the main hall, Bo Ruoyou followed. past.

The body was placed on a felt blanket, and Bo Ruoyou began to untie the clothes of the deceased, and then peeled off the clothes of the deceased in a few air-conditioning sounds. In this way, the purple-red corpse spots and a few suspicious traces of the deceased were suddenly revealed. Came out.

Zhao Xi and the others were looking at the door, all of them looked stunned. They couldn't imagine how Bo Ruoyou, a little girl, could remain calm while looking at the body of a dead adult man.

Bo Ruoyou didn't care about those. He chose a corpse knife, put on a handguard and face towel, then dropped the knife, and started to exert force along the chest of the deceased. The dead time was short, and the knife would see blood as soon as it fell. The inside was filled with the smell of blood, and Bo Ruoyou's hands were also blush. Others would feel terrified when they saw so much blood, but she was particularly calm.

Bo Ruoyou's post-mortem was meticulous and it was an autopsy. Naturally, it took a lot of effort. There were lamps coming in constantly to brighten the lights of the entire West Chamber. Bo Ruoyou bent his body, but at the time of two sticks of incense, The face was already sweating profusely, Lin Huai and the others were still watching at first, but at the moment they couldn't stand in the main hall, and there were only two of them in the house.

Huo Weilou took out a kerchief from his sleeve and went forward to wipe her sweat. Bo Ruoyou was fiddled in the belly of the deceased. He was startled by his trip, and he was stunned before reacting. He raised his eyes and saw Huo Weilou. Pain was overflowing in his eyes, he didn't say a word, and cleanly wiped the sweat from her forehead, and stood aside again without disturbing her.

Bo Ruoyou was absent for a short while, then lowered her head. Soon, she cut off the deceased’s stomach. The deceased’s poisonous state was obvious, and there were traces of vomit on her lips. To overcome her suspicion, the most important thing is the contents of the deceased’s stomach.

It was rancid and bloody, and after a while, Lin Huai glanced at the door again, and saw Huo Weilou standing by the window, saying: "Master Hou, the night is getting dark, you should rest assured that the faint post-mortem examination, you should not come out and rest. ?"

Huo Weilou shook his head, "No, Ben Hou looked at ease."

Lin Huai only felt relieved when he watched Bo Ruoyou's autopsy, and then retired again. When he arrived in the hall, Zhao Xi looked at him and said, "Why is my cousin still inside? I can't bear it anymore."

Lin Huai said, "Master Hou takes this case very seriously, and he has to watch the post-mortem, so he can't worry about it."

Zhao Xi looked like this, and shook his head without saying anything.

In the wing room, Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, only to feel that Bo Ruoyou tonight seemed to be more focused than ever before. She straightened up very few times, as if she was tireless, and she rarely wiped her sweaty face. She has a completely selfless appearance, and she bends for a long time, this posture is difficult for a man of good strength to maintain for too long, and her waist is unbearable, weak and boneless, and she does not know how to hold on for this half a day. of.

He stepped forward to wipe her sweat again. At this time, Bo Ruoyou seemed to be used to it. He did not raise his head. When Huo Weilou retreated again, he couldn't help but look at her waist. He looked slightly at her waist. Distracted, after an unknown period of time, Bo Ruoyou suddenly straightened up, and she took a breath of fatigue.

"Master Hou, it's the poison of arsenic."

Huo Weilou's expression was slightly tight, and Bo Ruoyou said again: "He left the palace from the next day and went home in the evening. He didn't have much food to eat, and it was a little special."

"What is it?"

Bo Ruoyou picked up a mass of dirt that had been cleaned with water, "It's wormwood cake. Nowadays, in the spring season, when wormwood grows wildly, wormwood is bitter and is often used as medicine. Very few people use wormwood. Make pastries." At this point, she curled her eyebrows, "Except for one place..."

Huo Weilou seemed to have thought of something too, and their eyes met and they spoke together.

"Taoist temple."

"Taoist temple"
