Chapter 135 The Seventh Lady 05(1/2)

The teacher was so panicked, "Chief, why do you still have to bring the poor nun back to Beijing? Miss Liu's death really has nothing to do with the temple. Mr. Liu can testify for us. They sent the people, and they also know the best about Miss Liu's personality."

Liu Yan was watching the servant packing the carriage and came forward after hearing this, "Captain, the master and the others do take good care of each other on weekdays."

Wu Xiang raised his thick eyebrows, "Even if you are not a murderer, it is also a circumstance. It is normal to ask you to go back to Beijing to ask questions. If you explain it neatly, it will only delay your work for a day. If you still conceal it, you will be unable to forgive me."

Qingyin and Qingshuang, who was taken away by name, both looked timid. The teacher pursed her lips too much and couldn't stop her from falling on Liu Yan. However, Liu Yan was a little avoided. Finally, the teacher gritted her teeth and said, "That's all, I'll go to the jail tonight to go."

Qingyin and Qingshuang knew that there was no room for change in their hearts, and both looked depressed. Qingshuang stared at Qingyin with a very hatred, as if she was full of words. Qingyin wanted to speak for a moment, but she was silly and dared not speak.

The teacher told the remaining two nuns to be optimistic about the nunnery, and the group set off for the Beijing. The nuns and the nuns rode in the chariot and horses of the nuns, and did not dare to disobey any more.

At this time, clouds were everywhere, and the magnificent golden color spread throughout the mountains and fields. The group of people walked out of the valley, went up to the official road, and headed straight to the capital. When it was dark, everyone returned to the city gate. Liu Yan and Wu Xiang said goodbye and wanted to go back to the mansion to report to the elders.

Wu Xiang said: "Although it's too late, I'm still waiting for the young master in the charity village."

Liu Yan responded and took his servants to Pingkangfang, Wu Xiang took Miss Liu's body to the Yizhuang, and the three masters and the three were taken back to the yamen for custody.

When they arrived at the Yizhuang Village, they sent the body into the back hall. Wu Xiang and Bo Ruoyou continued to wait. After waiting for a while, Wu Xiang was a little impatient and sent a yamen to go out to inquire about the Liu family.

The two of them waited in the charity village for another hour. Before Liu Yan came, the yamen who went out to inquire came back first.

The yamen reported: "I went to Pingkangfang. The families in that area really knew a lot about the Liu family. The Liu family is now the head of the Liu family, Liu Kun. Under Liu Kun, there are three masters, all of whom are in business. The three masters I have seen today are the only son of the old man, and the other three masters each have children. The seven girls are from the deceased fifth master of the Liu family."

The yamen breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Miss Seventh's mother died of blood rupture when she was born. Therefore, when she was born, the seventh girl had the title of "My mother", and her biological father didn't like her. She also invited monks and Taoists to enter the mansion to exorcise demons and evil spirits. Later, when Ms. Seventh, Mr. Liu Wu fell into the lake and died after being drunk. At that time, Ms. Seventh had the name of "My father" in the mansion. She had no parents and had such a reputation. After all, she had a very difficult life. Even the neighbors were a little shy when they mentioned her. Because of this, her family could not say that her marriage was the past two years."

Bo Ruoyou stood under the dim lights in the front hall, feeling cold in his hands and feet.

"Even so, the Liu family still gives her some decentness on weekdays, but half a year ago, somehow, Miss Seven suddenly disappeared. The neighbors only knew that Miss Seven was sick and sent away, but it was hard to know anything else."

Wu Xiang frowned, "It seems that her life in the Liu family is not easy."

When he turned around, Wu Xiang saw Bo Ruoyou's pale face. Her deep and clear eyes were a little dark, and her eyebrows were frowning. Wu Xiang sighed, "I think he is such a poor girl. She has lived a hard life and no one has disciplined her. I'm afraid she's cheated."

Otherwise, how could a beautiful lady from a noble family have given birth to a child before she got married?

It seemed like a heavy stone was rolled over Bo Ruoyou's heart, and he was suffocating for a while before coming forward, "I have never mentioned the marriage and have a bad reputation outside, who will get close to her?"

She pursed her lips, and her throat felt bitter. When she looked back, she seemed to be able to see the body of the Seventh Girl through the thick wall.

"What's her name?"

The yamen thought for a moment, "This subordinate has not asked."

The woman's name is not private in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but no one outside knows the name of the Seventh Girl. She also saw that she was in the Liu Mansion. Bo Ruoyou didn't ask any further. She looked at the sky and saw that the clear moon was in the sky, and only a corner was missing from the jade plate, which would become a full moon.

Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

Wu Xiang frowned, "Forget it, it's too late. I'll go to Liu's house now. If I can test it, you will test it tomorrow morning. If you don't allow it-" He narrowed his eyes, "That's a ghost in his heart."

Bo Ruoyou nodded, went out of the chariot to get on the carriage, and went home.

The carriage slowly walked, and Bo Ruoyou ran for half a day, a little tired. She lifted the curtain and leaned against the window ridge, allowing the moon to spread all over her body. She was a little worried about Huo Weilou. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and I don’t know if she can wait for a letter.

When the carriage was parked at the door, Bo Ruoyou walked in a little quickly. He had just been to Chengnan Chai the day before yesterday. Cheng Yunzhi changed his new prescription in the study room. Seeing her coming back, Cheng Yunzhi smiled gently and asked about the case. Bo Ruoyou told the death of the girl from the Liu family.

Cheng Yunyi stopped writing, "The Liu family... is also a declining portal. What a pity that the little girl, can the cause of death be determined?"

"For the time being, it was a bruise on the forehead, and died of excessive blood loss. After several days of death, the body was rotten. There was only one place for the external injuries. However, her family had not yet decided whether to have an examination. The headmaster and I waited for a while. When it was late, the headmaster asked me to come back."

She stood by the table and polished the ink for Cheng Yunzhi, and suddenly said softly: "Why did the adoptive father want to take me away?"

Cheng Yunzhi looked up at her. Bo Ruoyou rarely asked old things since he was a child. Today's question came from, but there was nothing that could not be said. He said slowly: "I'm not at ease with you. Don't say that your uncle and second uncle did not trust me at that time. Even if they had their own children, they all had their own children. How could they compare to me and your adopted mother? At that time, we had no children and treated you as their biological daughter. Even if we had their own children in the future, we would not lose our love for you."

Bo Ruoyou felt the tip of his nose was slightly sore, and he lowered his eyes and said, "My daughter will be filial to her foster father for the rest of her life."

Cheng Yunzhi smiled generously and praised her for being well-behaved. She did not mention the life experience of the Seventh Girl, and Cheng Yunzhi did not think too much. She picked up the pen and wrote a prescription. Bo Ruoyou looked at Cheng Yunzhi's hunched back, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

She could not remember what happened to her five-year-old man, but when Bo sent someone to Qingzhou, she still heard what she had to say about Cheng Yunzhi and his wife, defeating her father and mother, and losing her life for a short time. She said that she was only six years old. She couldn't understand it at the time, and she realized the meaning of that. Sometimes she thought that her parents died early, and her younger brother died of an accident, and she survived by herself. If she insisted on saying that, there was a possibility that her life would defeat them.

If the couple Wu Cheng Yunzhi adopted her and took her out of the capital, would the seventh girl of the Liu family end up with her today?

Her back chills, and she looks at Cheng Yunzhi's gentle face covered with wrinkles and feels warmer.

"According to people in the temple, the girl from the Liu family is in a bad mood and sometimes becomes crazy and unscrupulous, which reminds her daughter of the eldest princess..."

Bo Ruoyou dared not conceal the fact that Cheng Yunzhi had been to the eldest princess's mansion. After hearing this, Cheng Yunzhi said inappropriately, but he never thought that Huo Weilou had such a heart. He was shocked when he heard the eldest princess's condition.

Bo Ruoyou said again: "If a crazy person hurts himself, will he not know the pain?"

Cheng Yunzhi stopped writing, "It's not all, and when you are crazy, you will cry out for pain. According to what you said, the girl from the Liu family was not crazy all day long. Did she ever run into a pillar when she was crazy before?"

"I haven't heard this mention, but his brother said that she had thoughts of suicide."

Bo Ruoyou thought about this frowning. Although she had the idea of ​​suicide, none of the scars on her body were fatal. It shows that she had never tried it. Bo Ruoyou said again: "I don't know why, I always feel that the temple is a bit strange. The teacher looks too kind and has a very cold and hard-working attitude. He also has the intention of hiding from the government office. A few female nuns..."

Bo Ruoyou is too intimate to say, but he is a Buddhist. He secretly speculated that he is always rude. Even if she doesn't say it, Cheng Yunzhi's eyes have become serious, "Are they relying on the nobles in the city to help?"

"That's true. At the beginning of today's yamen, they didn't even want to tell Miss Liu's life story. They were determined to wait for the Liu family to come to the city. In the afternoon, the few people were also very reluctant."

Cheng Yunzhi looked hesitant, "The temple outside the city... is not necessarily a real temple."

Although Cheng Yunzhi is now in a down-and-out situation, he was the eldest son of the Cheng family before he was over 20 years old. He knew how wealthy families would enjoy the fun. However, after he said that, Bo Ruoyou was puzzled. Cheng Yunzhi couldn't help but say it more bluntly, "The powerful people in the city like wine and sex, in addition to going to the fireworks to enjoy themselves, they also have many other hobbies."

Cheng Yunzhi's point was about to stop. Bo Ruoyou thought for a moment and stared in horror. She couldn't believe that the possibility, but she thought that the nun had painted her eyebrows today and had an indescribable mood around her, and she believed it three times in her heart.

"This... this daughter doesn't know. If this is true, the abnormal situation will be explained today. I will go to see the captain tomorrow. My daughter will mention it to him. If it has nothing to do with the case, it will be just a matter of contact. If it is related, there may be connections."

Cheng Yunzhi responded, and suddenly his eyebrows moved slightly, "The eldest princess's illness has been kept in the care of the imperial doctor?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "The imperial doctor watched all year round, and Young Master Ming often went to the mansion to ask for his pulse."

After hearing this, Cheng Yunzhi frowned and thoughtful. Bo Ruoyou blinked. After Cheng Yunzhi took the initiative to ask, was there any cure method, and asked: "Is the adoptive father a solution to the madness of the eldest princess?"

Cheng Yunzhi was a little hesitant, "The madness is not easy to treat. I heard that the eldest princess's disease is so serious. It is because of a long-term illness, and the adoptive father is not sure."

Bo Ruoyou seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness, "It doesn't matter if you are not sure, is your adoptive father willing to give it a try?"

Bo Ruoyou told him that the princess was sick, and his eyes turned red. At that time, he had thoughts, but he was hesitant and took it upon himself, so he didn't speak immediately. Today Bo Ruoyou mentioned the princess's illness again. Obviously, she was worried about it, so he couldn't hold it back.

"You can try it-"

Bo Ruoyou smiled, "That's great! My adoptive father doesn't know, I really feel sorry for the princess."

Cheng Yunzhi said angrily: "I think you feel sorry for Wu Zhaohou."

A hint of clouds flew on Bo Ruoyou's cheeks, "I... I really feel sorry for His Highness the Princess. When she saw His Highness that day, the servants coaxed her. She looked at her and talked to us well, but her memories were all confused. She actually treated the Duke's study as her own study. Later, she fell ill and became a person in an instant. As her daughter looked at her, she felt a pain in her heart, as if she could feel her pain."

Cheng Yunzhi's eyes changed slightly when he heard this, and he pulled his lips again, "She is Wu Zhaohou's mother. Wu Zhaohou cherishes her. You love the house and the mistress, so naturally I feel quite pity."

"Entertainment Father!" Bo Ruoyou was embarrassed, "You are also joking about your daughter."

Cheng Yunzhi smiled gently, "When Wu Zhaohou returns, I will go to the princess's mansion."

Bo Ruoyouyi was satisfied and obediently helped him serve Mo. When he returned to his room to rest later, he was calculating how long it would take to come back. Now he has been leaving for two months, and I am afraid that he will not be able to see him after waiting for a whole month.

The next morning, before Bo Ruoyou went to Yingmao, the yamen sent a yamen to find her and ordered her to go to the charity village. The Liu family agreed to the examination. Bo Ruoyou was excited and immediately took the autopsy equipment to the carriage.

When we arrived at the Yizhuang Village, the sun had just climbed to the top of the clouds. The warm autumn sun fell on our body, and it also dispersed the yin energy in the Yizhuang Village. When we entered the back hall, Wu Xiang was already waiting for each other.

"Captain, how did you go to the Liu family last night?"

Wu Xiang couldn't tell what his expression was. "I went to the Liu family last night and found out that their mansion was having a banquet during the day. The reason why it took so long was because the mansion could not leave."

Bo Ruoyou's bent lips suddenly sank, and she felt cold in her heart. When she went to see the rotten remains on the wooden bed, she felt even more heartbroken. She didn't ask anymore, put on her hands, covered her scarf, and walked towards the body.

Wu Xiang paused and continued, "I entered the Liu family. When the Liu family heard that they wanted to have an examination, they agreed without hesitation."

Bo Ruoyou's heart was suffocated again, so he chose a handy corpse-cutting knife and began to cut the skull of the corpse.

The flesh and blood near the wound were eaten up by maggots, and with the rot, there was only a layer of meningeal carrion connected to the bones. She easily peeled off the skull and carefully checked the cracks around the wound.

Her expression was always solemn when she was undergoing an autopsy, and her eyes were filled with broken ice. The bystanders did not dare to breathe. Wu Xiang was waiting by the side, waiting for two cups of tea, and Bo Ruoyou raised his eyes.

"The frontal bone two inches above the temple of the deceased is the wound. The concave frontal bone here is a bone fracture caused by external force. There are multiple broken bones in the depression, and there are broken bones extending to the upper temporal line at the edge of the depression. Judging from the direction of the line and the number of broken bones, it is not caused by a one-time impact, and the impact force direction is almost the same-"

Wu Xiang didn't quite understand, "What do you mean? It means she ran into her and died several times?"

Bo Ruoyou looked up at Wu Xiang, "Not only hit him several times, but he was also held back and hit him several times."

Wu Xiang's pupils shook, and Bo Ruoyou said, "For such a serious injury, she should be dizzy even if she needs to take a moment. In addition, the pain is not possible to hit the same angle for a second time based on her own body, will and physical strength."

After Bo Ruoyou said, "You can try the headmaster."

Although Wu Xiang thought what she said made sense, he felt that he was not sure. He turned around and walked towards the door, bent and bumped into the door. Soon, he found that if a person bent, even if he did not suffer any pain, he would not be able to keep the same posture and bump into the door. Because of his bent appearance, he would easily lose balance.

He believed what Bo Ruoyou said, "So, can it be concluded that he killed?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, frowned and looked at the rotten neck of the corpse. "With her figure, the murderer could only hold her slender neck and then make her hit the bed post. Unfortunately, the blood stains on the back of the neck were decayed very quickly. Now there is no trace of subcutaneous blood stasis. Otherwise, the evidence would be stronger and there would be more clues."

Wu Xiang imagined the scene at that time, and felt that only such a murderer could commit the murder. The seventh girl was almost the same as Bo Ruoyou, but she was much thinner than Bo Ruoyou. Her neck was not worthy of being held by her. Not to mention holding her against the wall, even strangling her to death, it seemed that anyone could do it.

Wu Xiang took a deep breath, "Since that's the case, I'll send someone to the Liu family to inform me. The Master and the Nun have never interrogated them. I want to ask them and I can get more clues."

Bo Ruoyou looked at the wounds on the forehead of the corpse and said, "The murderer is inclined to be a man. The number of impacts should be about three times, the sunken is deep and the bone cracks are long. The murderer is very strong. I have never found any traces of struggle in her hands. The murderer should be very quick to take action."

Wu Xiang's eyes lit up slightly, "Okay, I'll go back to the yamen first. If you have anything else, come to the yamen to find me."

Bo Ruoyou was about to respond, but at this moment he thought of something and said, "Catcher stay!"

Wu Xiang stopped and turned around, "What?"

"The headmaster went to interrogate the Master and the nuns. You can ask, besides praying for blessings and incense, there are no other unjust business operations in their temples."

Her expression was cold and Wu Xiang raised an eyebrow. Soon, a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes. He nodded solemnly and turned around and left with the yamen.
To be continued...
