The Delicate Lady Coroner

Chapter 90 - Five change turn 02



Along the path paved with bluestone slabs, through a lotus pond that draws water from the Luohe River, you will arrive at the Bezhuang that Yacha said. The Bezhuang is located in a shaded bamboo forest, with white walls and gray tiles and continuous cornices. , There is both hermit-like transcendence and elegance, but also a very strong atmosphere, and Bo Ruoyou and his group have not even approached, they saw the mansion gate opened wide, and there were carriages and horses parked in front of the mansion gate, going in and out The servants kept on, it seems that there is a banquet on Zhuangzi today.

Wu Xiang raised his eyebrows, “It’s really lively, I’m afraid we’re going to the door because we are going to make trouble.”

Even so, Wu Xiang did not rein in his horse. Soon, the group stopped in front of the gate of the mansion and got closer, and they saw seven or eight carriages parked outside the gate of the mansion, all of them were covered with red lacquer and silver. Saddle brocade bridles, and well-dressed servants come in and out, holding all kinds of bonsai flowers in their arms.

Wu Xiang and his party were in the official office of the yamen. As soon as he arrived at the door, the few servants who immediately led him to stop and look around, and one of them jogged to get started. After a short while, a man in charge slowly walked out of the door.

After this year, I am not confused, but when I see Wu Xiang and his party, he is not in a hurry, and he bows his hands to Wu Xiang, “How can the few poor masters do?”

Wu Xiang said: “We belonged to the government office of Jingzhao Mansion. A homicide case occurred nearby. I heard that there were people living in your mansion, so I came to inquire whether there is an abnormal place.”

The steward is calm, “We are in the Bo family——”

Seeing Wu Xiang’s face in a daze, the steward said again, “Do you know the Bo family from the Sanshangshu School in Beijing?”

Wu Xiang was stunned, “It turned out to be the Bo family, no matter which house you are in, now there are cases to ask, and you have to cooperate.”

The steward took two steps aside, “If you ask, you must know everything.”

Wu Xiang glanced at the mansion, “The mansion has been living here since years ago?”

The steward nodded, “Yes, the eldest son of my family has always lived here, and the eldest son is studying here and preparing for the next year’s scientific examination. What is it? What kind of murder is it? Is it wrong to live in his own village?”

Wu Xiang narrowed his eyes to look at this manager, “Are there pregnant women in your house?”

The steward was taken aback and laughed: “Naturally not, our son has not yet married his wife, and the masters are too early to accept concubines. Where are the pregnant women?”

Wu Xiang pondered for a moment, “Then do you know who has seen a pregnant woman in a nearby village?”

The steward thought about it, and shook his head blankly, “I really don’t know this. The villain doesn’t move around here on weekdays. Although he knows the names of the family owners around him, he will not inquire into other people’s private affairs. “

Wu Xiang glanced inside the mansion gate again, “Today is the mansion banquet?”

The steward smiled, “It’s not the banquet guests, it’s the son and the young lady in the family. I just invited a few friends to be guests.”

Wu Xiang nodded, thinking about what else to ask, but saw a few people walking out of the gate. The first one was handsome and tall, and it was Lin Zhao, the son of the Minister of Criminal Justice. Lin Zhao had followed him. Lin Huai had been to the Jingzhao Mansion and Wu Xiang recognized it. When Lin Zhao saw him, his face was surprised, “Wu catching his head?”

Wu Xiang bowed his hand, “Young Master Lin!”

Seeing that Wu Xiang and Young Master Lin Shilang met, the manager took a step back and said nothing more. Lin Zhao walked down the steps and curiously said, “Why is Wu catching head here? He is here to handle the case?”

After speaking, Lin Zhao saw the extra carriage coming out from behind, “Boy girl?”

Bo Ruoyou was raising the driving curtain to look outside, so she had to get out of the carriage, walked to Wu Xiang’s side, and blessed her body again, “Mr. Lin.”

Lin Zhao smiled and said, “Ms. Bo is also here. I’m here to ask about the case, why? What case happened nearby that failed?”

Wu Xiang naturally didn’t hide anything from Lin Zhao, “Yes, there was an infanticide case nearby.”

“Lin Zhao, this is—”

Suddenly, a clear voice of a man rang suddenly, but a few people behind him greeted him. Bo Ruoyou raised his eyes and saw another man in his double ten years following. A few young men and women came together, but by coincidence, two of them, Bo Ruoyou, had met Bo Yixian and Wei Jun.

Lin Zhao said, “Yixuan, this is the people of the Jingzhao Mansion who came to investigate the case.” Then he said to Wu Xiang: “Wu catches his head, this is the eldest son of the Bo family.”

Bo Yixuan stepped forward, his life was tall, his face was like a crown jade, and his writing was brilliant, but he was a year or two younger than Lin Zhao, and he had not entered officialdom. He looked a little childish, but at this time, he followed up from behind. Bo Yixian and Wei Jun came up.

They looked at Bo Ruoyou together, and Wei Jun said first, “Boy girl, we meet again.”

The details of Wei Ling’s case have been investigated, but Bo Ruoyou never saw Wei Jun again after that. Seeing her take the initiative to greet herself, she bent her lips and nodded. At this time, Wei Jun looked at Lin Zhao, “Lin The son also recognizes Bo Yuzuo?”

Upon hearing that Bo Ruoyou was a work, the men and women behind them all started talking in low voices, but Lin Zhao laughed calmly, “Yes, I saw it when I was in Luozhou. Bo Ruoyou has a very good post-mortem technique. Master Hou appreciates it.”

Wei Jun and Bo Yixian both remembered Huo Weilou’s intimacy with Bo Ruoyou that day, and said nothing for a while.

Lin Zhao looked at Wu Xiang, “Wu catches his head, what do you want to ask, how can I help?”

Wu Xiang hesitated for a moment. Seeing that there were so many people at this moment, he could not tell the whole case, so as not to get out of the way, he said: “Now I am looking for someone who has lived nearby for a long time. .”

Lin Zhaolue pondered, “Where is the crime scene?”

Wu Xiang said: “On the rocky beach in the lower reaches of the Luo River.”

Lin Zhao’s expression moved slightly, “My family’s villager is downstream. Although the master does not often go to the house, there are two very safe villagers who live there. Why don’t you ask them if you call them?”

Ordinary people heard of the murder case, except for the curiosity at the beginning, and then didn’t want to get involved with it. Lin Zhao was very enthusiastic. Wu Xiangzheng couldn’t find a credible person who knew the roots and the truth to inquire. Lin Zhao’s remarks can be said to have explained him. Urgent.

“That couldn’t be better, trouble the son.”

Lin Zhao smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it.” After speaking, he beckoned to call the attendants, and asked them to go to Zhuangzi to call the head of the village.

At this time, Bo Yixuan said: “Then let them wait here, let’s leave ours first.”

This group of people seemed to have an appointment where to go. Lin Zhao was like this. Everyone was delayed for a while. Lin Zhaolue pondered, but said: “You go one step ahead. I will stay to help Wu catch his head and ask.”

Bo Yixuan hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Bo Yixian and said, “But everything is prepared by the river bank, and my sister prepared it herself.”

Bo Yixian stood behind, her eyes closed when she heard the words, and Bo Ruoyou looked in her eyes, as keen as her, naturally knowing how profound Bo Yixuan’s words are. At this time, Lin Zhaoping smiled peacefully: “I know, I will soon Just follow, you go first, you know, my father is in the torture department, helping them is helping my father.”

Bo Yixuan had nothing to say at this time. He glanced at Bo Ruoyou again, and then moved away. Wei Jun and Bo Yixian also followed. Bo Yixian walked out a few steps and looked back. Liu frowned slightly. The other men and women, seven or eight, followed When I went up, I only walked far away, and some curiously looked back at Bo Ruoyou, the female widow, it was the first time everyone had seen him.

Bo Ruoyou Shi Shiran was standing. At this time, he glanced at the door of the Bo family’s villa, and then at the men and women who had left Yixiang Temple. The expression was a bit deep, but Lin Zhao thought she didn’t like being surrounded by others. Look, “Boy girl don’t want to care, they are ignorant, they have never seen a woman do it for you.”

Bo Ruoyou pulled his lips and shook his head, “It’s nothing.”

Lin’s villa is not far away, but he has to wait for some time. At this time, Lin Zhao also looked in the direction where the people from Shicai had left. After all, this time because all the people who came from were good friends, so she also came.”

I don’t know who said this, Wu Xiang said: “Fortunately, the case is solved, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the girls in the spirit of heaven.”

Although the case was taken over by the embroiderer, Wu Xiang was also one of them, so he was correct in his answer. Lin Zhao nodded, “Yes, I just didn’t expect another case happened so soon. This year, the capital is not peaceful.”

Wu Xiang shook his head, “It is hard to say whether this case was born in or outside the city.”

Bo Ruoyou didn’t know what he thought of, and his mind was obviously not on their conversation. At this time, he didn’t answer, and Lin Zhao said again, “Boy girl–“

Bo Ruoyou came back to his senses, and saw Lin Zhao pointing to his neck. He frowned and asked, “It looks like he’s injured?”

Although the wound on Bo Ruoyou’s neck is more than half healed, she can still see faint marks when she gets closer. She only thinks that this is a long story, but Wu Xiang opened her mouth for her, “It is an injury. It was the case of the second Miss Wei family. The murderer was a ruthless character. Xiaobo was seen by him during the first autopsy. Later, the government investigated more and more deeply. This person actually hated Xiaobo and touched him. When he arrived at Xiaobo’s house, he took Xiaobo away—”

Lin Zhao’s expression changed drastically. He had never seen such a dangerous thing in the Imperial Academy.

Wu Xiang sighed, “Poor Xiaobo suffered a lot, almost…Fortunately, there was an embroidered dress agent that night, so I found the murderer in time, otherwise Xiaobo would not be here now.”

Lin Zhao’s expression sank slightly, “Although the post-mortem technique of the thin girl is clever, in the end it is just an ordinary woman’s vigor and body technique.”

Wu Xiang looked at Bo Ruoyou pityingly, “No, after this, I will hear that Xiao Bo is not in the yamen in a while, but I don’t want to wait for a few days and haven’t heard this. Stubble, Xiaobo, although you are a woman, I respect you as a man!”

Bo Ruoyou couldn’t laugh or cry.

Wu Xiang smiled heartily, but Lin Zhao’s expression was a little complicated. A group of people stood by the side of the road. After less than a stick of incense, the head of the Lin Family Villa arrived. The two of them lived in the Lin Family Villa all year round. And near the lower reaches of the Luo River, I know a lot about where the nearby mountains and forests belong to, and which private houses belong to the capital and which powerful households.

Wu Xiang asked what he had asked before, but without asking anything, the Zhuangtou said: “The parturients have never heard of it. Most of the Zhuangzi nearby live there all year round, and they still harm a healthy person. It’s impossible to sound like this. The people on the Zhuangzi around here don’t say that they are the masters, they are long-term workers underneath, and their livelihoods are pretty good. The child is thrown away.”

Wu Xiang twisted his brows slightly, “What if it is a shameless child?”

The two villagers looked at each other, “Although it is a girl, it is not as good as a boy, but what is so shameful about a child? And mutilating a newborn child is a detrimental thing, and no one would normally do that.”

Wu Xiang frowned, and he pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s do that now. If you think of something, you can come to the government to report back. We will visit again in the next few days.”

When the two villagers agreed, Lin Zhao told them to go back on their own. Seeing Wu Xiang frowning, Lin Zhao said, “Is there any other reason? There are many rich and powerful houses nearby, I’m afraid it is not easy to visit. , Is there any hidden secrets, and it is difficult to ask clearly. Although these subordinates are here all the year round, it is difficult to find the clues if others deliberately cover it up.”

This is exactly what Wu Xiang thinks. He answered, thinking that there are still people waiting for Lin Zhao, and said: “Master, let’s go, we also have to look elsewhere. Thank you, Master, so you won’t be delayed.”

Lin Zhao smiled and said that it was OK, and he arched his hands again, and just followed in the direction where those people had left.

Wu Xiang looked at him and sighed, “It’s really good, you deserve to be Lin Shilang’s son.”

Bo Ruoyou nodded, and Wu Xiang said: “It seems that you are still following what you said. You have to check carefully to see the changes in personnel exchanges, clothing and food in Zhuangzi during the past half year. If nothing else, pregnant women eat. Most of the food is different from others. It is impossible for all the food to be produced at home. You always have to buy it. There are also doctors and the like—”

“Ah yes, doctor!” Wu Xiang said as his eyes lit up, “I always want anti-fetal medicine!”

Wu Xiang immediately called a few government officials around him, “Go around and ask to see if there are any medicine shops or medical clinics nearby. Pick the nearest one first.”

The government officials dispersed to investigate. Wu Xiang glanced at Bo’s Villa, turned around and left Bo Ruoyou, Bo Ruoyou opened the carriage curtain and said, “If you want to start with the doctor, the scope of investigation will be enormous. It’s not impossible for doctors in the capital.”

Wu Xiang is having a headache. “This kind of case with few clear clues is the most difficult to handle, and I don’t know how many months to investigate. If you can get something, I’m afraid that the longer the time is, the more you get nothing.”

Bo Ruo thought for a moment, “and that piece of cloth.”

Wu Xiang looked at her, and Bo Ruoyou said: “Although I am not good at embroidering, the embroidery is very complicated. After returning to Beijing, I have been to several silk and satin shops, but I have not seen such embroidery. It is not common to think about it. It’s better to go back to the capital to check and find out which shops sell such embroidery.”

Wu Xiang must be godly, “If you don’t tell me, I have forgotten it, and I can’t see anything about it. It’s still in Yizhuang now. When I return to Beijing today, I will ask them to investigate.”

Soon, the ya chai who went to explore the medicine shop came back, but said that there was only one medicine shop nearby. Wu Xiang immediately patted his horse and went there. When he arrived at the place, it was an old doctor who was over sixty years old. The medicines in the shop were not complete. , Most of them were long-time servants nearby, and villagers from farther away came to get medicine and see a doctor.

When asked about the anti-fetal medicine, the old doctor waved his hand and said, “Most anti-fetal medicines are nourishing. I have insufficient medicinal materials here. If someone comes to grab the medicine, I just prescribe a prescription for them to grab the medicine elsewhere. In the past six months, no one has come here. Asked the prescription for fetus.”

Wu Xiang and Bo Ruoyou had to return in disappointment. It took half a day to come and go. Seeing that the sun was already slanting to the west, Wu Xiang left a few government offices to visit further villages, and took them with him. Bo Ruoyou returned to the capital.

When he returned to Beijing, it was already sunset. Wu Xiang wanted to find out about wrapping cloth, so he separated from Bo Ruoyou at the gate of the city. Although this trip was nothing, it was a trip to the city, although it was not as fresh as those. The young men and women who went outing with an angry horse were leisurely, but it really made her wipe away the depression of recuperating for the past few days, but she never thought that she would find the other village of the Bo family.

Today, I saw not only the sister in the lobby, but also the brother in the lobby.

Bo Ruoyou sighed and was meditating, but the carriage suddenly stopped. She suspiciously lifted the curtain, and she arrived so soon?

The curtain lifted up, but it was the Cheng’s house. The carriage was blocked on the imperial road. It was an embroidered clothing envoy who was standing in front of the carriage. Seeing her lifted the curtain, he arched his hands and said: “Thin girl, Lord Hou is back. , He wants to see you.”

Bo Ruoyou’s eyes lit up slightly, “Master Hou has returned to the city? Where is it?”

“Waiting for you in Hou Mansion.”

The dusk had arrived, and Bo Ruoyou glanced at the sky, but still succumbed. The carriage galloped along the imperial road, and stopped in front of the Hou Mansion after the hour of the two-pillar incense.

After a few days of absence, the Hou Mansion remained unchanged, but her mood when she entered the mansion today was quite different. Thinking of Huo Weilou’s remarks, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. This trip did not come at orders, but it seemed to be for an appointment.

Entering the main courtyard, Father Fu immediately greeted him, and asked him warmly. He was relieved to see that the traces on her neck faded, “Master Hou was in the study. It was only two hours before he came back, but he learned that you were out of the city. It makes people wait.”

Bo Ruoyou nodded, and when he walked to the entrance of the study, he saw Ning Xiao and Luke walking out together. Both of them saw that her expressions changed slightly, but Luke smiled and greeted her. Bo Ruoyou agreed. Sheng, waited for the two to leave before slowly entering the study.

In the study, only Huo Weilou looked at the paper rustling of the official document. Bo Ruoyou eased his steps, and soon saw that Huo Weilou was writing. She stopped for a while, and her eyes fell on Huo Weilou’s body warmly.

“What are you doing standing there?” Huo Weilou asked without looking up.

Bo Ruoyou hadn’t disturbed him before, but didn’t want him to have noticed it, so he could go up to the book case and blessed his body, “pay respect to Lord Hou.”

Huo Weilou didn’t say anything. After finishing writing, he straightened up and looked at her. Xianmai looked at her for a moment and waved, “Come here—”

Bo Ruoyou didn’t move, “What does Hou Ye call me for?”

Huo Weilou’s brows wrinkled, and seeing her motionless, he simply stood up from the book case and walked towards her. He was born tall and majestic, and his usual momentum was compelling. Not to mention that his eyes were dim and dim at the moment. Before coming closer, Bo Ruoyou was forced to retreat first, Huo Weilou raised his sword brows slightly, and did not stop.

He sneered, and without a word, he stepped forward to hold her chin, and gently lifted her chin up, “I thought I would give you a few days. Pass.”

Bo Ruoyou’s face was reddish, and she leaned back to avoid his hand, “How can this trip go smoothly?”

Huo Weilou looked at her dissatisfied, and for a moment his phoenix eyes deepened, and he sat down with a case between her, “Successfully, it’s just a journey back and forth between the stars and the night, quite tired.”

As she got far away, Bo Ruoyou felt a little looser. She looked at Huo Weilou, and she saw that his face was very tired. Seeing that she only looked at herself but didn’t ask, Bo Ruoyou frowned, “Why don’t you ask? Why am I rushing back?”

Bo Ruoyou Congshanru said: “Then why is Lord Hou rushing back?”

Huo Weilou did not answer, he only stared at her with a seemingly substantive gaze. No matter how dull Bo Ruoyou was, he also understood the meaning of his trip. For a while, he was slightly hot and did not dare to look at him. Huo Weilou Seeing her like this, she felt completely different from what he had expected. She is now in front of him, as if she is more restrained than before.

He patiently asked, “What is the case these days?”

Speaking of the case, Bo Ruoyou paused, “I found a dead baby outside the city, not a stillbirth. Today I went out of the city and went to see where he found the dead baby with Wu Coutou, and then visited the residents in that area. .”

Huo Weilou asked in his spare time: “Have you found anything?”

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, and then slightly pursed the corners of his lips: “Today, I just ran into someone from the Bo family.”

This made Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, and Bo Ruoyou smiled bitterly: “Bo’s Zhuangzi was also there. When I went to investigate, I happened to ask, my cousin and cousin are all on Zhuangzi, and others. People, by the way, Young Master Lin is also here.”

Huo Wei Louben still had an ordinary look. When he heard the three characters “Lin Gongzi”, his expression became tensed, “Lin Zhao?”

“Yes, he seems to be a guest.” Bo Ruoyou said.

Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, and suddenly said, “Do you know why Lin Zhao is so close to the Bo family?”

Bo Ruoyou was a little at a loss.

The rich and powerful in the capital are intertwined, and the two seemingly unrelated families may be in-laws in the previous three generations. Therefore, if you have to calculate it carefully, every family can climb relatives, and there are countless families with family friends.

Huo Weilou nodded, “This is the first, and the second, your cousin has kissed Lin Zhaoding.”

I thought Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised, but she was just a little surprised, “No wonder… No wonder my cousin’s words today are a little bit deep, it turned out to be so.”

Huo Weilou’s eyes were dark, “Do you think they match?”

Bo Ruoyou smiled and said: “One is a noble lady from a family, with a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance, and the other is a son from a family with outstanding style and manners. Naturally, she is a good match for gold and jade.”

Her expression was gentle, her words were gentle, she did not have the slightest envy or envy, her eyes were bright and clear, and she looked at Huo Wei Tower unconcealedly. She couldn’t bear to look at Huo Wei Tower. He stretched out his hand to catch her tenderness, and his expression was momentary. Obscure and unpredictable, “They… are not good for money.”

Bo Ruoyou didn’t know why he said this, but Huo Weilou suddenly stood up and said, “Go, I’ll take you to a place.”

Bo Ruoyou was pulled up by him, a little dazed, “Where will Master Hou take me?”

Huo Weilou walked her out with strides, “The Long Princess Mansion.”
