Chapter 39 Two-color lotus 11(1/2)
After buckled the lock, Huo Weilou let her go. He glanced at her injured hand and handed her only one of the remaining hands. He said in a stern voice: "This object is a tribute from Xiliang Kingdom. It is woven with copper wire and silver wire. It is soft and can block heat from water. If you wear this object in the future, you can suffer less corpse poisoning."
Bo Ruoyou naturally saw this thing as a handguard at first sight, but she had never seen a precious thing. She followed Cheng Yunzhi to take a corpse since she was a child. In a small place like Qingshan County, even leather handguards were rare. Cheng Yunzhi didn't care about these things. After a while, she didn't care about these details. She only occasionally had too rotten corpses and always had to suffer some trouble in her hands.
Bo Ruoyou wore one hand and held it with the other, looking a little stunned. The tentacles of this thing were cold, but they were extremely soft and not as soft as copper and silver. It was lined with a layer of fine but extremely tough fur. Its five fingers were clearly distinguished and light and thin, which was really more suitable than the deer-skin guards prepared for Ming Guilan the day before yesterday.
But she didn't expect Huo Weilou would reward this item, it was a tribute.
"Mr. Marquis——"
Huo Weilou had already expected her to look like this. He thought she had grown up in Qingshan County, so how could she have seen such a good thing? So he raised his eyebrows and said unquestionably: "If you are given to you, just keep it." He paused and said: "Although I am strict in the imperial lord, I have always rewarded merits. You are not the first person to receive the reward from me."
Bo Ruoyou hesitated for a moment, "I dare not give it to you because the marquis gave it to you, but this thing is a tribute. The people's daughters deserve this thing..."
Huo Weilou looked at him, "This case will definitely be solved."
Bo Ruoyou pursed his lips slightly and said softly: "Even if this case is solved, it will not be rewarded with tribute from the women."
Huo Weilou looked at her for a moment without agreeing, but looked away and sneered, "You know your identity." After that, he said, "After this case, I may still use you. If you think this thing is inappropriate, you will always use you in the future."
Seeing that Bo Ruoyou seemed to say something, Huo Weilou narrowed his eyes and his voice became dangerous, "No one can refuse the gift from me."
Bo Ruoyou narrowed his eyes and quickly made a choice, "Thank you, Marquis."
Huo Weilou was satisfied. Seeing that although she was looking down, she frowned, as if she was reluctant to get rewards from him, she waved her hand impatiently and said, "Get back."
Bo Ruoyou's body was blessed, and then turned around and went out. As soon as he went out, he saw Eunuch Fu guarding the door. Seeing her holding a handguard in her hand, smiling in her eyebrows and eyes, "Don't be afraid of Youyou, if the Marquis gives you any reward, you will be able to take it. If anyone who has made merit, the Marquis will also give you one or two gold, silver, jade, and precious weapons."
I see……
Bo Ruoyou felt relieved, "That's right, since that's the case, the young woman will do her best to do her best to do her job for the Marquis."
Eunuch Fu couldn't help laughing when he heard this. At this time, Huo Qinghong and Ming Guilan were late. They both saw the handguards in Bo Ruoyou's hand. Huo Qinghong said, "Huo... this thing looks familiar."
Ming Guilan was knowledgeable and "is a tribute from Xiliang Kingdom."
Huo Qinghong raised his eyebrows, and his eyes looked deeper when he looked at Bo Ruoyou. Bo Ruoyou felt a little scared by his eyes. After taking it aside, he returned to his room.
Huo Qinghong pushed Ming Guilan into the room, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Brother, why did you give her the tribute from Xiliang Kingdom?"
Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "Youyou did everything he wanted, and it is not surprising that the marquis gave me some advice. The prince didn't see it. Youyou's hands were so cold that they were stained with corpse water, which was red and swollen."
After saying this, Eunuch Fu suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Speaking of this, although the Marquis gave him a generous gift, he had never been so considerate. Marquis, you can't be..."
Before Huo Weilou could speak, Huo Qinghong said, "Father-in-law, where have you been thinking? If my elder brother wants to get a beauty, do you still need to use this method? With his order, who doesn't want to be the person around him? I think this little girl is quite scheming."
Eunuch Fu laughed at the ear, "What do you say about the prince?"
Huo Qinghong narrowed his eyes and said righteously: "I was wondering why my elder brother suddenly chose a woman with him. Now it seems that she has a lot of tricks. She first used a bitter plan to make you pity, and then used a trick to get to pretend that she was just doing something for her brother. Finally, she used a beauty plan to make her treat her differently!"
Huo Qinghong tsk, "It's amazing, my elder brother hates flattery and flattering the most. She's looking for a different approach, it's amazing!"
Huo Weilou looked over with a narrow look, "Since you know how to calculate, how about I recommend you to Dali Temple?"
Huo Qinghong's unfathomable expression changed and he immediately smiled apologized, "Brother, don't blame her. She is really a delicate little beauty, but she has been a coroner and has followed her to Luozhou to investigate the case. It's really weird. After thinking about it, I think she is just afraid that she has some intentions for her..."
Huo Weilou smiled, "There are so many things in the world that I have, so what does she rely on?"
Huo Weilou is in power in the court and the people, some people seek his power, and some people seek his power. Both men and women want to climb up along with him, but if he is so easy to talk to, there is no other name for the Jade-faced King of Hell.
Huo Qinghong said, "Rely? Isn't this obvious? Of course she relies on her face. Don't you think she is beautiful?"
Huo Weilou frowned, "Where is she beautiful?"
The room was stunned, but he didn't expect that he would ask this question. Ming Guilan laughed out loud, "Marty, it turns out that you are unique in other things, but only the beauty is more obvious than the beauty.
Huo Qinghong smiled, "Brother, although you don't think she is beautiful, you must not underestimate women. Women in this world have too many tricks. Those with low ranks can show their weaknesses. Those with high ranks can pretend to be unintentional to you, but they inadvertently tease you invisibly. When you are moved by her, she still acts innocently as if she doesn't know anything. You are really impressed by her. At this time, you will offer whatever she wants, and you will eventually be deceived."
Huo Qinghong sighed like a vicissitude, "I have a deep understanding of this, my brother, last year, most of my money was deceived by those little fairies. I regret it, and I regret it very much now."
Huo Weilou narrowed his eyes, "You have been fooling around in brothels all year last year?"
Huo Qinghong's face changed and he coughed, "No, no, I'm just giving an example... In short, don't take it lightly, brother!"
Eunuch Fu was amused and crying, "Criminal, I had this thought before. It was indeed unlikely that a little girl would come to Luozhou with us alone. Maybe she really had some intentions for our marquis, but later Youyou was willing to come, but the old marquis didn't think so. She had something to ask for with the marquis this time."
Huo Qinghong glared, "Look! Look! Look at what I said, she clearly said she had something to ask for. If the case is completed, what should she do if she wants to follow her elder brother in the future? Or, what should she do if she simply said she wanted to be the one around her?" At this point, Huo Qinghong stood up straight, "She doesn't want to be the wife of Wu Zhaohou, right?"
Huo Weilou had a headache, "She is not so bold. Look at what you are thinking all day long?"
Huo Qinghong sat down again and said silly: "This... isn't this to be alert for the elder brother. If the elder brother is of high status and powerful, he is worthy, and he should be the daughter of a well-known family..."
"Shut up." Huo Weilou was no longer comfortable with his nonsense. "After returning to Beijing, you should be able to enter the dynasty for a while."
Huo Qinghong suddenly snuffed, "Brother..."
Huo Weilou raised his hand, and Huo Qinghong had to hum and swallow the words begging for mercy. Ming Guilan hurriedly turned his head when he saw this: "I heard that Miss Bo is looking for in the Sutra Library?"
Speaking of the case, Huo Weilou looked upright, "I was looking for records about relics, but by chance I found that a Buddhist scripture that records the five-level treasure letter was lost. Now it has been found that someone bought the Buddhist scripture ten years ago, which may be related to the theft of relics."
Ming Guilan said: "I just read two books that record Buddhist secret medicines. They mentioned the relics, saying that Buddhist rumors that if a person can hold the relics after death, it can be guaranteed to be corrupt for thousands of years. In addition, there are also folk reproductions about relics that can cure all kinds of diseases and prolong life. The most exaggerated thing is that the relics can bring about rebirth, but these are not verified."
Ming Guilan was a doctor, so he naturally heard a lot of these rumors. Huo Weilou pondered for a moment: "It is extremely difficult to investigate the murderer's relic. Now he can only start with the deaths of Jingkong and Feng Lun. After Jingkong learned that someone had bought Buddhist scriptures, he went to find the officials who were left to investigate at that time. But overnight, Jingkong disappeared, and the remaining few people had never mentioned that someone had bought Buddhist scriptures. This further confirmed that some of them were related to Jingkong's death."
Ming Guilan thought for a while, "Was Feng Lun's death this time he discovered the murderer of that year, or... he was also one of the insiders of that year?"
Ming Guilan said this, but Huo Weilou had never thought of it before. If it was not one person who was insider, but two or more people, and the matter was covered up, it would not be impossible for those who were insiders to fight, and Feng Lun was killed.
Huo Weilou is also difficult to make a conclusion. "This may still be verified. As the chief official, Feng Lun is familiar with Jingkong. Jingkong was indeed the most likely to find him back then. If he was one of the insiders, he would be able to explain it."
But as this happens, there may be too many cases, and the case becomes more and more confusing.
Huo Weilou took out the painting and asked Eunuch Fu to come in, "You were there at the time, so you can see what abnormalities might have been recalled."
Eunuch Fu unfolded the drawing, "The paintings of Jingming are detailed. I can't remember them clearly. After seeing this picture, I immediately recalled them, but if the three adults said, the scene was a little chaotic when it rained that day, and at other times, everyone had almost never moved. However, when it rained, there were guards in the corridors around the ritual platform, and it would not be possible to disappear in full view of everyone."
"At that time, Feng Lun and Yue Mingquan were originally in Luozhou, and they were the earliest to arrive. After that, Wu Yu, Wu Yu and Wang Qingfu were both officials in Beijing. Although Wu Yu was a civil servant, he had some skills."
Huo Weilou murmured as he looked at the painting outlined by ink lines, and said, "On the night when Feng Lun died, Wu Yu and Wang Qingfu could prove each other, but Yue Mingquan had no one to testify."
Ming Guilan said: "Miss Bo has said that Lord Feng has many bruises on his body and has had disputes and fights with his life."
Huo Weilou nodded, "The person who killed Feng Lun is indeed skilled, and his method of being terrified of being murdered is cruel. If the murderer is the same person, then this person is not only good at it, but also knows a lot about human bones and has a strong mind."
After ordinary people kill people, most of them are panicked. However, the person who plotted to murder Jingkong not only dismembered him, but also hid the body in the Buddha statue. Huo Weilou frowned, "There is no news in Jizhou yet?"
Eunuch Fu said justice: "It's only a few days since our people arrived. If we want to find the craftsman of that year, it will take some time."
Huo Weilou looked slightly dark, "Go and check the Qing family to see if there were any abnormalities in the old things ten years ago."
Eunuch Fu responded quickly.
The night fell, and it was particularly cold at night because it rained during the day. Before the summons were summoned, Bo Ruoyou stayed in the room. The case was found here, Feng Lun's cause of death, the place where he was killed and the weapon he was killed. Although Jingkong's murder was judged, the cause of death and the weapon were still difficult to determine. The murderer's motive may be related to the stolen relics, but how the stolen relics was stolen at the beginning has not been solved. Bo Ruoyou's thoughts were tangled in his heart, and he saw the rare guard in a blink of an eye.
The swelling on the wound on the back of her hand had disappeared, leaving only a piece of black green, so she carefully put on the hand she had not worn in the afternoon, moved her knuckles, and her heart was upset.
Put away your hands, Bo Ruoyou took the bed and rested, and soon his breathing grew longer.
The next morning, when Huo Weilou got up, Bo Ruoyou was already waiting outside. Seeing that she was so early every day, Huo Weilou felt a little bit of Gu Xi in his heart for no reason, "Since there is no need to have a autopsy, why are you so early?"
Bo Ruoyou said: "The young girl wants to use the method of steaming bones to test Master Jingkong's corpse again."
"The method of steaming bones?" Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows.
Bo Ruoyou nodded: "This method was taught by his adoptive father, and he did not hide it from the Marquis. Before, the civilian daughter only saw that his adoptive father used it, but she had not tried it yet."
Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou for a moment, "You try it."
Bo Ruoyou felt a little relieved. Soon, Huo Weilou led his group to the yard where the mortals were stopped. When he arrived at the yard, he saw Wu Yu and Wang Qingfu had arrived. Seeing Huo Weilou coming, the two of them came forward to salute together.
Wu Yu said: "The two officials were afraid that the marquis would be summoned, so they came here to wait early today."
Huo Weilou glanced at the two of them, but saw wet marks on Wang Qingfu's clothes. Wang Qingfu smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaguan has not been washing clothes for several days. Yesterday, when he was wet in the rain, he found that his clothes were dirty. He hurriedly washed two pieces. Today, Brother Wu was anxious, so Xiaguan had to wear undry clothes..."
Wu Yu laughed: "Brother Wang has many servants in the capital. This time, Your Majesty ordered us to rush to follow the car lightly, so I am not used to it."
Wang Qingfu sighed, "I shouldn't have been lazy when I saw Brother Wu do laundry that day."
The two of them were very familiar with each other, and they were quite homely. But Bo Ruoyou frowned slightly when he heard it, "When did Lord Wu do laundry?"
Wu Yu said, "I have been able to do laundry these days, and I am used to it."
Bo Ruoyou didn't ask much, Huo Wei said, "The coroner wants to have another autopsy, there is nothing to ask for now. You can go back and rest."
Wu Yu did not leave, "Then we will wait here."
Huo Weilou entered the yard, and Bo Ruoyou said, "Famous women first wash the bones, and ask the marquis to send someone to dig a cellar outside the temple. The cellar should be five feet long, three feet wide, and two feet deep. Then burn it with charcoal and firewood to burn the inner wall of the cellar red."
Although I don’t know if Bo Ruoyou’s method is effective, Huo Weilou still sent someone to dig the cellar. In the courtyard, Bo Ruoyou first washed the bones, and then asked someone to take two liters of wine and five liters of vinegar, and then carried the bones to the cellar together.
The cellar excavated by the embroidered clothes was on the slope beside the birch forest. At this moment, the cellar was blazing with open fire. The cellar was burning red. The cellar was burned red. The cellar was taken out, and the vinegar and wine were poured into it. It took advantage of the heat to put the empty bones in it, and then it was sealed to seal the opening of the cellar.
"It takes two hours to steam the bones." After saying that, Bo Ruoyou raised his eyes and looked at the sky, "The weather is clear today, I think it won't rain."
Eunuch Fu said justice, "This is not necessarily the case. Yesterday, the weather was good, but it suddenly rained."
Bo Ruoyou had to sigh, "I just want not to rain."
Wu Yu and Wang Qingfu followed along. Seeing that Bo Ruoyou's method was strange, they all showed a look of suspicion. Bo Ruoyou stood aside and leaned over to touch the entrance of the cellar. Seeing that it was hot, he sealed the entrance of the cave with the wet soil beside him. "When the temperature in the cellar is gone, you can take out the bones. It's quite long. The Marquis and the two adults can go back to the temple to wait."
Huo Weilou nodded, put away the wine jar and other items beside him, leaving Eunuch Fu and two embroidered Clothes outside to accompany Bo Ruoyou, and the others returned to the yard together.
Bo Ruoyou didn't know if this method was useful, and his heart was always hanging. After waiting for two hours, he asked the embroidered clothes to open the cellar. The temperature of the red cellar had dissipated at this moment, and there was only some remaining warmth. She and the two embroidered clothes to take out the corpse together and put it on the felt carpet, and asked the embroidered clothes to return to the temple to get an oil umbrella.
When the embroidered clothes came back, Huo Weilou came with him, and Ming Guilan and Huo Qinghong were also here. They were afraid that they had never heard of this method, and they were both quite curious. Huo Qinghong asked, "Is this method useful? Where did you learn it?"
