Although Wang Qingfu and Yue Mingquan had a close relationship with the person behind the scenes, they did not leave any letters and had no direct evidence related to the disappearance of Fo Bao. After checking the background relationship between the two, they could only narrow the scope of screening, but they still could not be convicted.

However, the fewer suspects are, the more conducive it is to use limited manpower and material resources to find key clues. Huo Weilou had a plan in mind, so he did not delay his efforts and quickly summoned Sun Zhao.

When Sun Zhao saw that he had a new list. In addition, the clues he had obtained along with Feiyunguan had already reached the goal of these three families, and he felt refreshed. However, these three families were all noble families and were not as easy as ordinary people in Dawn to verify. He felt as if he was a big fight.

Huo Weilou reminded: "The direct commander secretly investigates these three strange behaviors of practicing Taoism and Buddhism. Combined with the time of several crimes, the more detailed the investigation, the better. Your yamen needs to re-screen Li Shen's confession. He was pushed to punish him. The confession must be true or false, and you will find more flaws. In addition, this matter must not be carried out in large quantities, you should understand."

Of course, Sun Zhao understood, and was even more fortunate that he directly sent the ministry to investigate these three companies, and then discussed with Huo Weilou before leaving the mansion.

When Bo Ruoyou listened to the two of them discussing the matter, he felt that the form was even more serious. First, after many years of the case, Li Shen was arrested after taking the initiative to commit the case. Second, these companies are all powerful people. If they can lead to a Li Shen, they can think of more ways to get rid of the crime. It is so difficult to find direct evidence related to the case.

It took several days of cloudy days, and the snow had not melted and the cold air was so cold that Bo Ruoyou pushed open the window, and the mist on his lips dispersed. When he raised his eyes, he saw clouds piled up on the edge of the gray sky.

She was in a daze, and a hand stretched out from behind her to cover the window, "Beware of it being frozen."

Huo Weilou closed the window frame and brought the person into his arms. When he held her hand, it was still cold. Bo Ruoyou turned around and leaned against the window ridge, his heart was still heavy. Huo Weilou didn't know what she was thinking and comforted: "Even if it's hard to check, now that he has a direction, please be at ease."

Bo Ruoyou nodded and asked again: "I wonder if Mr. Ming's house has been laid out?"

Huo Weilou knew that she was more anxious than anyone else, so he hurriedly comforted her: "If the arrangement is done, we will definitely send someone to say that now we have new clues. If we can find key evidence, you don't have to suffer. Have you still had nightmares these days?"

Bo Ruoyou wanted to speak for a moment and shook his head.

On the carriage back to the head home, Bo Ruoyou lifted the curtain and looked at the long street covered with snow outside and was still ecstatic. She kept Li Shen's confession in her heart. In order to prevent the flaws from being exposed, Li Shen would vaguely speak, while the rest did not reveal the real murderer, but said it very thoroughly. In this way, it would be easy for people to regard him as the real murderer.

She was an eyewitness of the case. Even though she couldn't remember what happened that night, Li Shen did not mention Bo Lanzhou and she were hiding in the cabinet. Did she forget it? Or did the murderer not tell him this?

"My sister is older and runs faster. She is probably scared by me. She is not afraid of the darkness. What surprised me even more was that she actually left her brother and ran away..."

Li Shen's words suddenly rang in Bo Ruoyou's mind that day. Bo Ruoyou's fingertips trembled and he lowered the curtains. When Li Shen was the murderer, she was relieved to avenge her younger brother, but now she knew that Li Shen was just a scapegoat, so this sentence lingered in her mind like a spell.

When he returned to Cheng's house, Bo Ruoyou's face turned a little bad. When he went to the study to see Cheng Yun, he saw Cheng Yunzhi writing a prescription again. The prescription was either for her or for the eldest princess. Bo Ruoyou calmed down and asked about Cheng Yunzhi's understanding of the Cao family and the Wei family.

Cheng Yunzhi rubbed his eyebrows, "Mr. Changning?"

"The ancestors of the Cao family of Changning Marquis also made military achievements, and the rank of marquis was also hereditary. Three or four queens were born in their mansion, which was really awesome. Now, Changning Marquis is the eldest prince of the concubine and the uncle of the second prince. He has no real power in the court, but he has a lot of industries under his name, and there are many people in the court. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first family in the capital."

"I have told Changning Hou a few times back then, and I am a very arrogant and arrogant person. In the past two years, maybe I have been a little cautious in order to fight for the second prince. I have been back to Beijing for more than half a year, but I have not heard of the Cao family's violent behavior."

"As for the Wei family, the ancestors also started their military achievements. Old Zhongqinbo died in the battlefield. Now Zhongqinbo is still on the battlefield, and he is considered a loyal and martyr in the family. I didn't go much with their mansion back then, but I heard that this generation only Zhongqinbo had some ambitions. The two younger brothers below were very coquettish. From the beginning, I knew that I could not be promoted, so I naturally became the rich and idle person."

After Cheng Yunzhi finished speaking, he said suspiciously: "What? They are related to the case?"

Bo Ruoyou told Cheng Yunzhi about the progress of the case. He was silent for a long time after listening to it. "The real murderer who could drive Wang Qingfu and others to steal Buddha treasures from the palace must be a high-ranking and powerful person. It is indeed possible for the two families to have some contact with Bo at that time."

Speaking of this, Bo Ruoyou remembered Bo Zhongyi again, "The adoptive father told me about Bo Zhongyi last time. I only knew that he married Princess Anyang, but I had met Bo Zhongyi twice and met the second son of Bo Zhongyi's mansion. I have never seen this princess."

Cheng Yunzhi's voice was slightly deeper, "You can't see it."

Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised and listened to him continue, "Princess Anyang passed away more than ten years ago."

Bo Ruoyou was stunned. He never expected that the princess would die early. At this time, Cheng Yunzhi continued: "Not only have you never seen this princess, you have never seen the eldest princess of the Bo family."

Bo Ruoyou realized at this moment that Feng Ye was ranked second in the Feng family, and he had never heard of who his brother was.

"Because more than ten years ago, Princess Anyang and the eldest son of the Bo Mansion passed away almost at the same time." Cheng Yunzhi sighed a little, "If I remember correctly, it should be the 14th year of Jianhe. Princess Anyang had just given birth to Feng Ye and suffered a bloody collapse. After two days of persistence, the eldest son of the Bo Mansion suffered from the epidemic that was circulating outside the city, and he died. He was only five years old when he died."

How sad it would be to suddenly lose his wife and eldest son? Bo Ruoyou never expected that Feng Qin, who is now looking at the fairy-like beauty, would have such a painful past.

"The fourteenth year of Jianhe, that happened seventeen years ago. Isn't my uncle reunited all these years?"

The Lord, the mistress of the house is indispensable in the mansion. Cheng Yunzhi said with relief when he heard this: "I have never renewed my feelings. Bo Zhongyi and Princess Anyang are young couples, with deep friendship. I still remember the situation of the wedding that year. I was a few years younger than Bo Zhongyi. I came to congratulate him with my father. I heard that the Queen Mother did not agree to marry him in Anyang. It was because he was willing to give up his career in the court, which made the Queen Mother feel relieved. It was also a good story at that time. After the marriage, the two were considered harmonious, but they didn't expect that there would be such a tragedy later."

Bo Ruoyou felt a little emotional, the so-called deep love but not longevity is probably the case.

"Can the adoptive father understand Zhongyi Bo as a human being?"

Cheng Yunzhi hesitated for a moment, "I don't know it, but seeing that he has not been interested in official career for many years and has been practicing Taoism, he is also a person with free and easy minds. When Princess Anyang and his eldest son had an accident, I was afraid that he would be discouraged for a while. What? This case is related to him?"

Bo Ruoyou said: "He has some relationship with Feiyunguan, and when the prince revealed the Ming family case, he was also present, so naturally there was suspicion. However, he was the one who guided us to go to Feiyunguan to verify it. I thought, if he was the murderer and pushed Li Shen out to take the blame, he would not have come forward to let us go to Feiyunguan to investigate, right?"

Cheng Yunzhi touched his chin, "I don't know much about this person, I don't make any judgments, and I pay attention to evidence when judging cases. You can check it as much as possible, and you don't have to take preconceptions."

Bo Ruoyou answered this and then savored the situations of the families that Cheng Yunzhi said for a while before returning to the room.

At noon the next day, Bo Ruoyou had just gone to the Marquis' Mansion. When he arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, he knew that Huo Weilou had just returned from the palace. He had just walked a few steps into the mansion, but he saw two servants carrying a box out. Bo Ruoyou was a little suspicious and soon met Eunuch Fu who was greeting him.

"Dadfather-in-law, is he going to give gifts?"

Eunuch Fu laughed, "It's not a gift, it's an object left by the prince in the marquis's mansion earlier. Youyou, you should remember that the prince's poison of the golden ointment was because of the second prince of the Zhongyi Bo Mansion. Later, he came to the door to apologize and sent many good things. When the prince left, he only took away the Qingque and Maoer, and the statue of the Bodhisattva Zun, but he left it. Today, when I saw the yard, I asked someone to send it to the prince."

The Bodhisattva statue? Bo Ruoyou has beautiful eyebrows and speaks quickly, "Wait--"

The two servants had already walked away. Hearing this, he couldn't help but stop. Bo Ruoyou walked over quickly and opened the knee-high box. The box was covered with velvet cloth. A black and shiny statue of Bodhisattva lay quietly inside. The Bodhisattva statue had a solemn eyebrows and a faint agarwood smell. After a closer look, he knew that it had been worshipped for a long time. In addition to the patina that was often wiped, there was a little dust in the base pattern with a slightly lotus pattern, and there was also a smell of incense and candles.

Bo Ruoyou felt a little inexplicable and covered the lid and asked Master Fu, "Don't Zhongyi Bo only believe in the Tao? There are many Buddhist and Taoist schools that are not tolerant. Most people may be willing to pray to God and worship Buddha everywhere without any taboos, but Zhongyi Bo has practiced Taoism for many years, so can he still believe in Buddhism?"

Eunuch Fu didn't know the inside story, "I don't know. This Bodhisattva was sent by the second son of the Zhongyi Bo Mansion. Maybe their father and son believed differently?"

A little strangeness lingers in Bo Ruoyou's heart. She goes to the study room thoughtfully. As soon as she reaches the entrance of the study room, she sees Lu Ke and Ning Xiao talking to Huo Weilou in the room. As soon as she arrives, the two of them hurriedly bow.

Bo Ruoyou was not used to his status as a county lord, so he hurriedly ordered the two to waive the gifts. He also looked at the news on the table, so he knew that there was news. Huo Weilou stood up from behind the desk and said, "Come here--"

After Bo Ruoyou walked to the desk, Huo Weilou gave her to the side and asked her to sit in an open chair. "Look, these were sent this morning. They were all things Cao Yan, Wei Huan and Feng Qin have been practicing Taoism over the years. Moreover, these three people have different villages on the banks of the Luo River outside the city. Feng Qin lives outside the city for many years, while Wei Huan and Cao Yan live outside the city more every summer and winter. Among these two, Cao Yan has the most other villages outside the city, and they have to be renovated almost every two years."

"After many years, it is not easy to investigate when the case occurred. We also need to prevent the people from being alerted. However, after the end of the dojo in the south of the city, before Wen Jin was killed, all three of them had left the city to live. Li Shen was pushed to take the blame. The real murderer behind the scenes must inform him of many cases, and perhaps he had to train him so that he could not stand the interrogation of the yamen. During this period, the most concealed purpose was to meet Li Shen in a private village outside the city."

“It will be renovated every two years?”

Bo Ruoyou keenly grasped the point. When Huo Weilou nodded, she immediately became suspicious, "The murderer's method of harming people will definitely leave blood and other clues on the scene. I have visited Li Shen's house. Even if the place is a year or two, the blood will be difficult to cover up. But if the altar is removed and the inside and outside are renovated, most of the traces will be hidden."

The letter paper on the table records the habits of several people practicing Taoism, as well as the mansion in the south of the city and the time to live in the Biezhuang every year. Although it cannot be accurate to a certain day, it can outline the habits of several people.

"Zhongyi Bo is almost accustomed to practicing Taoism. He likes to practice hard. Fortunately, he refines elixirs and goes to the palace to say to the empress dowager. He also... also presented elixirs to the empress dowager... for this purpose, he liked to collect rare ores and medicinal materials. Wei Huan liked to invest in gold and silver in Buddhist temples and Taoist temples outside the city, and also liked to collect secret treasures and utensils. Cao Yan... seems to want to seek good reputation?"

Huo Weilou should be, "He gave him a lot of rice, grain, gold and silver in the Buddhist porridge shed in Xiangguo Temple. He also likes to give outside the city during the New Year Festival. As for practicing Buddhist temples and sculpting statues of the Bodhisattva's true gods, it is even more common. Some people outside the city call him "Cao Dali Man."

He was a charity Cao, but he was selling gold ointment privately. When Huo Weilou and Cheng Yunzhi described this person, she felt deeply convinced, "He asked for this good name not only for the Cao family, but also for the Second Prince, right?"

Huo Weilou stood beside her, leaning against the edge of the table, and he heard this and stroked her, "Smart."

Lu Ke and Ning Xiao, not far away, looked at each other and bowed together, "The Marquis gave no other orders, and the subordinates took their leave."

Huo Weilou then remembered that there were two more people, and waved his hands to give up.

When they left, Bo Ruoyou felt a little rude after realizing it. However, at the moment of the case, she didn't care about anything else. "Just look at these, I just think that they might have selfish intentions, but I can't see that they are related to cults. The Cao family's house was renovated too quickly, which makes people suspicious. Wei Huan likes to collect magic weapons, and he doesn't know what it is for. As for Bo Zhongyi, he can withstand such hard practice, but the most sincere thing is to enter the palace and say that he is not in the court now, but it is not to win people's hearts, right?"

"But..." Bo Ruoyou looked up at Huo Weilou, "Sometimes the most unsuspecting thing may be the best to hide it?"

The people's hearts are so complex and subtle, and there are so few clues found now that they have found. Only by continuing to wait, Huo Wei said: "It takes a deep investigation to make a conclusion. After the officer went to investigate Wang Qingfu's corpse case, these people also left the city. Not only that, Cao Yan and Feng Qin are now living outside the city, which is not very good."

Bo Ruoyou's expression also sank, "Maybe it has begun to destroy evidence."

Huo Weilou naturally understood, but now there is only suspicion and no proof, unless a certified physical evidence can be found that can prove them soon. "Don't worry, there is no direct evidence now, and it is impossible to interrogate three people at the same time. If there are clear clues, I will think of a solution."

Huo Weilou is in a high position and holds the direct commander in his hand. This is the biggest reliance on solving this case. At least he is not afraid that all three of them are the Lord's House. Thinking of this, the voice of Eunuch Fu came from outside.

"Mr. Marquis, Mr. Ming is here-"

Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou both looked excited, and Bo Ruoyou's eyes lit up and said, "Has it been arranged outside the city?"

Huo Weilou's expression was much more complicated, so he first ordered someone to invite Ming Guilan to come in.

Soon, Eunuch Fu personally pushed Ming Guilan into the house. Ming Guilan was wearing a thick wool-collared cloak, and his appearance was also a little clear. Eunuch Fu said that his legs were very uncomfortable in winter.

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but get up and asked, "Young master is here, but are you ready outside the city?"

Ming Guilan said gently: "I came here for this matter. I have made arrangements according to my memory. If the county lord is ready, he can go over and see at any time."

Bo Ruoyou almost didn't hesitate, "It's too late today, I can go tomorrow."
