Chapter 169 Nine ileum 01
Bo Ruoyou was first appointed as the county lord, but Bo did not see her. A few days later, he came to visit her again. Wei also brought Bo Yixuan with him, and his words were respectful and humble. Although Bo Yixuan did not want to learn from Wei's humble manner, he also knew that Bo Yixian's words were mostly malicious guesses, and he did not expect Bo Ruo to be named the county lord.
The lord of the county lord comes from Cheng Yunzhi and has nothing to do with the Bo family. Moreover, she was accused of marrying him to Wu Zhaohou, and His Majesty personally gave him a marriage. What a honor this is? Bo Yixuan will really kneel down when he sees Bo Ruoyou in the future.
When he learned that he would do a ritual in Xiangguo Temple next month, Wei immediately said: "We should all go to do rituals for the third brother and third brother and sister, especially Yixuan, who is a junior, let him do his best with you. I wonder what day it is?"
On the eighth day of the winter month, the day when Bo Jingxing and his wife died, and the ceremony was set on the seventh day of the lunar month, and it was held for seven days in a row. But Bo Ruoyou didn't want others to interfere. Before Cheng Yunzhi could speak, she said, "I have troubled my second aunt. I have not returned to Beijing for years, nor have I been filial to my father and mother. I just want to go to the vegetarian ceremony for a few days by myself, so I won't bother my second aunt."
Wei didn't understand and didn't force him. After leaving Cheng's house, Wei sighed, "If I had known this, we would have come to walk around a few months ago. Who would have thought that she would have been so lucky?"
Bo Yixuan felt frustrated, "Why should my mother do that?"
Wei's face changed when he heard this, and his finger poked Bo Yixuan's forehead, "What do you know? Mother is for you. She will be the wife of Wu Zhaohou in the future. What is Wu Zhaohou's identity? His words, our entire Bo family will never have a chance to make a comeback, but as long as he is happy, what can your uncle be even a criminal minister? Yixuan, do you want to be dragged down by the big house for the rest of your life?"
Bo Yixuan is naturally not a person without ambitions, but now Bo Jingqian is being punished. Although he has the opportunity to take the imperial examination, Bo's connections in the court have been lost. Especially when the Dafang broke up with the Lin family, he was even afraid that he would be targeted.
But thinking that he was so indifferent to Bo Ruoyou before, and now he licked his face to the door, it made him feel that his dignity was ruined. After all, he was a scholar and always valued his face.
Wei saw his thoughts and sighed: "We are all harmed by the big house, and you are also bewitched by Bo Yixian. Don't help her in the future. They are responsible for this kind of trouble, and let them suffer for themselves."
Bo Yixuan frowned, "I haven't talked to her for many days."
Bo Yixuan felt even more frustrated when he thought of this. In the past, he treated Bo Yixian as his biological sister. When she wanted to see Lin Zhao, he would equip her with her. She said that Bo Ruoyou was so despicable, and he believed it and was biased against her again and again. But five days ago, just because he was unwilling to plead for her, she became more and more vicious to him, regardless of the siblings of brothers and sisters.
Bo Yixuan was extremely disappointed. He never expected that Bo Yixian's appearance would have such a hideous face.
...
It was the end of October. Bo Ruoyou didn't need to go to Yingmao of the Yamen every day, so he walked to Xiangguo Temple. Huo Weilou in the temple was really arranged in a comprehensive way. She just waited for the seventh day of the lunar month to do rituals. When it was the first day of the winter month, the Yamen searched for all the certified physical evidence. Bo Ruoyou then went to the Yamen to see the final decision.
When she went there, Zhao Yu had already passed the jail to wait for trial. In the court, Zhao Yu confessed to all the crimes. The civil servants put the general certificates into the file and after the case was concluded, they could be sent to the Ministry of Justice for sentencing.
When he saw Wu Xiang, Bo Ruoyou asked, "Stop this case?"
Wu Xiang sighed happily, "It's gone! Finally, Lao Wu, I can finally rest for a few days."
As the anger turned cold today, Wu Xiang spitted white mist as he spoke. His clothes were thin, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands. Bo Ruoyou pondered for a moment, "Does Zhao Yu insist that Master Qian and that senior brother are dead?"
Wu Xiang nodded, "Yes, I interrogated it a few times later, and he didn't seem to be fake."
Bo Ruoyou showed hesitation, Wu Xiang looked around and whispered: "It was Zhao Yu who killed the person. We caught him, which is considered impartial law enforcement and never favoritism. This is enough. Even if there is some inside story, no matter how hard it is to investigate manpower and material resources, it is unnecessary. Moreover, he avenged his master and his wife for his revenge, which is a bit righteous."
Bo Ruoyou wanted to speak but stopped, "It is true that the worldly loves to say this, but..."
Wu Xiang grinned, "Xiao Bo, don't be obsessed with me, but I don't believe in the truth. Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. What's more, the three words "sense, reason, and law" are the ones in the top. "
Bo Ruoyou never realized that Wu Xiang was rough and straightforward and did not know how to adapt. On the contrary, he clearly distinguished between good and evil, and had the spirit of a heroic spirit of eliminating violence and maintaining good fortune. He never feared hard work and valued friendship. This is very good in ordinary times, but when it comes to tolerance, he needs to take a good sense of this.
Bo Ruoyou was just a "guest" and was still a coroner. It was not easy to argue with Wu Xiang at this time. Thinking that her suspicion was not verified, she also gave up the idea of pursuing it. She didn't have to punish anyone, but the fact of this case was still unclear. There was still a gap before the truth that had not been revealed, and I always felt so uncomfortable.
She sighed, "Forget it, maybe I've thought about it too much. I've worked hard these days, so I can rest for a few days."
Wu Xiang said: "I hope so. It's almost the end of the year. Generally, by the end of the year, the capital will not be very peaceful. I'm afraid I'll be busy in less than a few days."
Bo Ruoyou naturally understood, and after talking to Wu Xiang for a while, he left the yamen.
There was nothing wrong in the next few days, Bo Ruoyou also helped Cheng Yunzhi buy her dowry. No matter who Bo Ruoyou married, dowry would be indispensable. Moreover, now he is still marrying Wu Zhaohou. Cheng Yunzhi took out all the assets hidden when the Cheng family was confiscated here, which made her dowry list look better. Bo Ruoyou saw it in her eyes and felt very guilty.
She thought of the relics of her father and mother for a moment. She had no intention of scrambling the property of the three families in Bo's family, but her mother's dowry back then was quite expensive. This dowry was originally her mother's private property, and she had benefited a lot from the hands of the Bo family for many years. If the three families had no children, it would be just that. Now with her big daughter, this private property would definitely not fall into the hands of the other people in the Bo family.
The thought was certain, and Bo Ruoyou and Cheng Yunzhi mentioned it. Cheng Yunzhi felt that this was the reason, so he ordered Zhou Liang to send a letter to Bo. He thought that Bo would not be able to return it easily. Early the next morning, Wei took Bo Jingli and took two accountants to Cheng's house, and actually presented the accounts of these years one by one, without any selfish hiding.
They were easy to talk, and Bo Ruoyou also saved his energy. In the next two days, he took Zhou Liang to several shops left by his mother. She handed over her mother's dowry property to Cheng Yunzhi, so that Cheng Yunzhi would not be as difficult as before.
On the seventh day of the lunar month, Huo Weilou waited at Cheng's house early in the morning, and then went to Xiangguo Temple with his father and daughter. This ritual will take a full seven days, and Bo Ruoyou will be in the temple for seven days.
Bo Ruoyou and Cheng Yunzhi were riding a carriage, while Huo Weilou walked on horseback. When he left the city, he saw a bleak winter outside the city. Fortunately, the sun was hanging high in the sky, so it was not very cold. Looking at the sky, Bo Ruo thought of the rain prayer and snow temple mentioned by Huo Qinghong, and talked to Huo Weilou, "It has been more than a month since the rain has not yet arrived. The first snow this year has not arrived. Is the temple that the prince said still there?"
Huo Wei said: "It has stopped, and the Imperial Heaven Supervisor said that snow will definitely fall this month."
Bo Ruoyou knew it and when the carriage arrived at Xiangguo Temple, Bo Ruoyou and Cheng Yunzhi went to the tablets they worshiped first. After the first ritual was finished, the sun was setting west. Cheng Yunzhi did not have to stay in the temple for a long time, so he left his aunt to take care of him and went back to the city first.
Huo Weilou stayed with her at Xiangguo Temple for three days. On the afternoon of the third day, Lu Ke came to search and said that His Majesty had an edict. He had just returned to the capital to meet the saint. For the remaining three days, Bo Ruoyou was fasting and praying for blessings in the temple, and comforted his father and mother's spirit in heaven.
On the thirteenth day of the winter moon, the last ritual was completed in the morning, and the seven days were complete. Bo Ruoyou thanked the masters, and recited the scriptures in the Buddhist temple for half an hour before he was about to say goodbye and leave. When he went down the mountain gate, Bo Ruoyou was actually called by someone.
"Bo Coroner--"
The clearer and stronger sound, Bo Ruoyou stopped and turned around and saw a familiar face. The man was wearing a blue shirt and was elegant and elegant. He was Liu Yan who had not seen him for many days. Bo Ruoyou was surprised for a moment and never thought of seeing him here.
"Young Master Liu?"
Liu Yan quickly stepped forward and bowed, "It's abrupt, and now it should be called the county lord."
Bo Ruoyou bent his lips, "Young Master Liu doesn't have to be too polite. Today is not a Buddhist birthday. You are here..."
Liu Yan's eyes became dark when he heard this, "We have incense here. Since the accident happened at home the last time, my father and others believed in Buddhism, saying that the family had committed karma and did more good deeds to resolve it. Therefore, I had to come to the temple once in almost half a month."
Several months have passed since the Liu family's case. Bo Ruoyou feels sad when he thinks about it. At this time, Liu Yan asked her again why she was here, and said, "I heard from the prince that the county lord helped the yamen to solve two more cases, one of which was an old case more than ten years ago."
Bo Ruoyou first did rituals for his parents, and then said in confusion: "Criminal? Prince Huo?"
"It is precisely, a few days ago, a temple for praying for rain and snow was set up in the south of the city. It was led by several residences with titles and Taichang Temple in the city. Although our mansion has lost its title, it still has fulfilled its dedication. The prince admired the county lord quite well. At that time, when someone mentioned the engagement between the marquis and the county lord, the prince talked about the county lord's work as a coroner."
Liu Yan said implicitly, "At that time, someone had heard that the county lord was now helping in the yamen, and he was quite unbelievable. The prince told the county lord together, which made everyone quite amazed."
Bo Ruoyou could have thought that there would be many people questioning such an occasion. As a lowly servant, she would have to marry Wu Zhaohou, which would have attracted attention and criticism. She seemed to have thought of Huo Qinghong praising her. He had a noble status and was Wu Zhaohou's favorite younger brother, and his words were to block others' words.
Bo Ruoyou felt warm in his heart, "I dare not claim to be a meritorious person, just do something within my ability."
She was not familiar with Liu Yan, so she said goodbye and went down the mountain gate with a few greetings. At the foot of the mountain gate, there were servants of the Marquis' Mansion waiting for her. She got on the carriage and went to the Marquis' Mansion first. She learned that Huo Weilou had not returned to the palace before returning home.
She was quite tired when she was vegetarian in the temple. Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi for dinner and then took a break early. When she was sleeping in a daze, she heard the rustling cold wind outside the window. She closed the brocade quilt and fell asleep again. When she opened her eyes the next morning, she found that the sky outside the window was particularly bright. She was puzzled for a moment that she had woken up late. When she got up, she pushed open the window frame to look, but she saw crystal white eyes!
A heavy snow fell last night!
The coldness hit her face, but Bo Ruoyou's eyes were bright, and the fine froth was still flying, and she went out with excitement.
She walked into the snow and made a creaking sound under her feet. Looking back, there were a string of small footprints on the snow. She smiled and hurriedly went up the front yard. But before she could reach the gate of the yard, she saw Wu Xiang following Zhou Liang and coming from the direction of the mansion.
She stood up and her smile slowly faded.
