Chapter 107 Six Flowers Flying 03

Bao Ruoyou did not expect that Lin Huai and Lin Zhao would be at the Yamen, so she stepped forward and saluted, "Uncle Lin——"

Lin Huai looked at Bo Ruoyou with pleasure, "I was asking you just now. They said you were in Yizhuang. I didn't expect to meet you before I left. Youyou, you are helping out at the Yamen every day, but I feel Hard work?"

Bo Ruoyou smiled, "I don't feel the hard work, I'm used to it already." Then he glanced behind the two of them, "Why did Uncle Lin come here?"

Lin Huai's smile faded when he heard this, and he sighed, "Something happened during the day, so I came here to take a look." After saying this, Lin Huai saw the test on Bo Ruoyou's hand at a glance. The complaint said, "Are you examining the deceased who was injured in a horse-riding case during the day?"

Bo Ruoyou responded, and Lin Huai asked: "How was the test?"

After Bo Ruoyou explained the results of the test, Lin Huaimeifeng frowned slightly, "So, the person who was trampled to death was not at fault."

"Yes, he died innocently and in vain."

Lin Huai turned to look at Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao also looked a little heavy. Bo Ruoyou looked at the two of them and suddenly realized that the one invited back today was the young master of Zhongyi Uncle Mansion. , one is the son of the Minister of Household Affairs, and now both Lin Huai and his son are here, probably because of this case.

"Brother Lin——"

At this time, another group of people came out of the back hall. The leader was dressed in a black Taoist robe. He was over 10 years old and had a long beard. He looked handsome and elegant, and others followed behind him. There were five or six people, including Feng Ye, the second son of Uncle Zhongyi who had spoken to Bo Ruoyou during the day, and another middle-aged man in Chinese clothes with a gloomy face. Sun Zhao was following the middle-aged man with an apologetic smile. .

Lin Huai turned around and said, "Uncle——"

The person who came was none other than Uncle Zhongyi. He was going to talk to Lin Huai, but when he saw Bo Ruoyou, he looked surprised and said, "This is..."

Lin Huai looked at Bo Ruoyou and said, "This is my niece."

Being called a niece by Lin Huai, Uncle Zhongyi was even more curious. Seeing Bo Ruoyou's impressive bearing and outstanding appearance, he asked: "Which family is the girl from?"

Lin Huai smiled and said, "A girl from the Bo family."

Uncle Zhongyi looked astonished and said, "Oh, is this the Miss Bo family who is engaged to Zhaoer?"

When Lin Huai heard this, his eyebrows jumped strangely, and he felt guilty for some reason when he explained, "No, no, this is the second young lady of the Bo family, and the one who is engaged to Zhaoer is the eldest lady of the Bo family." He said it lovingly. She looked at Bo Ruoyou and said, "Uncle, you should remember her parents. Her father is Bo Jingxing, the third eldest son of the Bo family. He has been deceased for many years. She left Beijing when she was young and did not come back for many days."

Bo Ruoyou saluted, and Zhongyi Bo Feng Qin was even more surprised, "She is Bo Sanlang's daughter?"

Bo Ruoyou didn't know his father's reputation in the capital back then, but looking at the expression of the loyal uncle, he was deeply impressed by Mr. Bo. Even though he had been dead for many years, he still called him by the title he used when he was a boy.

Feng Qin looked Bo Ruoyou up and down, "The strange appearance is extraordinary. She turns out to be Bo San's daughter. If so, I have seen her before when she was young."

Bao Ruoyou has been in Beijing for five years and has met many officials. Naturally, Uncle Zhongyi said this. Feng Ye, who was standing next to him, looked surprised. He seemed not to have thought that the female widow of the Yamen was actually She is a daughter of the Bo family with three titles of ministers.

Sun Zhao was also surprised when he heard this. Although he had never inquired about Bo Ruoyou's life experience, seeing that she came to the Yamen to work as a widower, he felt that her background was not very high. However, he did not expect that she was actually the daughter of the Bo family.

Lin Huai smiled and agreed with Uncle Zhongyi. Uncle Zhongyi asked again: "But why did she come to the Yamen?"

Lin Huai hesitated a little this time, "She is a widower and is currently helping in the Yamen."

This statement made everyone's eyes fall on Bo Ruoyou. Even the middle-aged man with a sullen face frowned at Bo Ruoyou. He seemed to have no old relationship with Mr. Bo. , so he didn't care about Bo Ruoyou, but he never expected that this young lady from aristocratic family was actually a widower and was still helping in Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.

"A woman works for a man?" He couldn't help but ask.

Sun Zhao came back from the surprise about Bo Ruoyou's life experience, "Yes, Miss Bo is very good at autopsy. After returning to Beijing, she helped in the Yamen. Although women are not allowed to enter the officialdom, working as a widow is just for free. There are It’s also a good thing to have help from powerful people.”

Sun Zhao pondered for a moment and then added: "Miss Qiebo was recommended by Marquis Wu Zhao to join the Yamen."

Everyone listened, with different expressions on their faces. Lin Huai knew this very well. Seeing everyone staring at Bo Ruoyou, fearing that she would be embarrassed, he said to the middle-aged man again: "Brother Wei, little Young Master, there is no need to be anxious about this matter. Mr. Sun is the most fair. Let’s review it slowly. It is not without benefit for the young Young Master to suffer a little for the time being.”

Bao Ruoyou understood that the man in front of him was the father of the blue-shirted young man in Bai Ri.

The middle-aged man was indeed Weishu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He said in a deep voice: "This traitor should be taught a lesson this time! If it is true that he hurt someone's life by riding a horse, let him take his life. , I feel less angry!"

Lin Huai laughed and said nothing, but Wei Shu took the lead and walked out of the Yamen. Uncle Zhongyi sighed and went to look at Feng Ye, "As an elder brother, you are not without fault this time."

Feng Ye quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Uncle Zhongyi shook his head and glanced at Bo Ruoyou again before heading out. Everyone behind him except Feng Ye, who seemed to be the retainers and stewards of Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion and Shangshu Mansion, followed him away.

Feng Ye stayed, however. He was handsome in life, with the scent of his father's immortal spirit, and was particularly gentle and unruly. He looked at Bo Ruoyou with a smile, "So you are from the Bo family. Miss, no wonder Lin Zhaoxian wanted to help you investigate the case that day."

This statement made Bo Ruoyou suddenly realize.

She suddenly remembered that she had indeed met Feng Ye. That day she met Lin Zhao and Bo Yixuan, brother and sister, at the Bo family villa. In addition to them, there were other men and women. Feng Ye was among them that day.

She didn't pay attention to other people, but she was a widower who followed the government officials, so it was inevitable that everyone would pay attention to her.

However, Lin Zhao didn't know that she was the daughter of the Bo family at that time, but Bo Ruoyou didn't need to explain it. He just smiled and didn't answer. Lin Huai was a little suspicious when he heard this, and Lin Zhao also remembered that day , "Feng Ye and I went to Bo's villa outside the city earlier, and happened to meet his second sister when he followed Wu Captou for an inspection, and we got to know each other."

Lin Huai understood, "That's it, Youyou, why don't you follow Uncle Lin to the Lin Mansion for dinner?"

Bao Ruoyou then answered, "No, Uncle Lin, it's been a lot of inconvenience today."

She raised her hand to check, and Lin Huai nodded, looking at the test in her hand with deep thought in his eyes, but said nothing, "In that case, Uncle Lin will order someone to pick you up another day. Mansion."

Bo Ruoyou naturally agreed. Lin Huai gave a few more instructions and walked out the door. Lin Zhao did not move, "Second sister, I'm rude today."

What he was talking about was that after Bo Jingqian left, Bo Ruoyou said nonchalantly: "It's okay. Mr. Lin and my uncle are already on good terms, and that's what they should be. Thank you very much for visiting me and Yi." Father."

Lin Zhao hesitated to speak. Feng Ye looked at Bo Ruoyou, then at Lin Zhao, with a slightly dark expression, and said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be the daughter of the Bo family. Your brother and I are quite similar. I’m familiar with it, but I’ve never heard him mention it.”

When Lin Zhao heard this, he looked embarrassed and glanced at him with disapproval. The two seemed to have a close relationship.

Bao Ruoyou smiled but still didn't answer. He just said, "Uncle Lin has left. You should go home quickly. I still have something to tell you, so I took my leave."

She walked towards Sun Zhao, who also ordered Lin Zhao and Lin Zhao to return home quickly. When he turned around and left with Bao Ruoyou, he whispered: "Xiao Bo, it turns out you are Miss Bo family!"

Bao Ruoyou sighed, "It's a long story. Your Excellency, please don't treat me as the daughter of the Bo family."

Sun Zhao had a sense of understanding and did not ask any more questions.

Feng Ye looked at Bo Ruoyou's back from behind and said, "It's strange that she is the daughter of the Bo family. How could they let their own young lady do the marriage ceremony? They are the ones who pay the most attention to these rules. Also, how can Have you never heard the Yixuan brothers and sisters mention this sister?"

Lin Zhao watched Bao Ruoyou disappear behind the corridor door and glared at Feng Ye helplessly, "You are the best at talking, why do you have to ask her in person?"

Feng Ye chuckled, "I'm a little curious about this second young lady of the Bo family, okay? You call her second sister, but she treats you quite alienated. I don't think she wants to recognize you as her brother, and she It's quite interesting that he actually did it for a man."

Lin Zhao frowned, "She has only been back in the capital for a short period of time. She and I have not seen each other for more than ten years. This is normal."

Feng Ye had a clear look on his face, and before leaving the Yamen, he looked back.

In the back hall, Bo Ruoyou handed over the examination papers to Sun Zhao, "Sir, the person just now is Wei Shangshu, right? The facts of the case are clear, but why did he say that it has not been finalized yet?"

Sun Zhao sighed deeply. At this time, Wu Xiang said: "At the moment, only the testimony of the deceased's wife is certain. People who were traveling with them still said that the deceased did not avoid the horse when he saw it. Several other vendors His words were vague and he did not dare to directly identify Mr. Wei. I think this case will be difficult to settle."

Bo Ruoyou naturally understood the twists and turns in this, "Is there nothing we can do? Is my medical examination useless? The first injury of the deceased was on the back, and his back was turned to them."

Wu Xiang frowned, "Then they can also say that he saw it but didn't hide away. The only thing he can do now is to find a way to persuade the people present at the time to stand up and testify. However, it is a bit difficult. I will bring it later. People go and visit."

Bao Ruoyou didn't say anything more. She had been a widower for several years and knew that not every sin in this world could be punished. She just thought of the dent in the chest of the deceased who was stepped on by the horse's hoof, and thought of the woman's painful cry. Compassionate but unwilling.

She calmed down and asked: "How is the case in Blackwater Village?"

Sun Zhao exhaled, "This case is quite simple. The evidence is complete and someone has confessed. People from Qinshui County Government have also arrived this morning. The identities of the deceased have been determined and the case will be closed soon."

Bao Ruoyou felt comforted in her heart. Seeing that it was getting late, she said goodbye and left the Yamen. When she returned home, she mentioned today's case and the people she met with Cheng Yunzhi.

Cheng Yunzhi was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid this case will not be settled."

Bo Ruoyou was silent, and Cheng Yunzhi sighed: "Uncle Zhongyi's wife is the princess of Anyang. The princess is the daughter of the deceased Prince Zhong, so they are also relatives of the emperor. Wei Shu, the Minister of Household Affairs, said that back then, She became an official by winning the first grade, and later married the daughter of the Xu family of Queen Xu's mother's family. In the early years, Queen Xu was involved in the case of Concubine Hui, and it was only thanks to Wei Shu that the Xu family was saved. This Wei Shu should not be underestimated. As long as he is here, his son will most likely be free of guilt."

Bo Ruoyou's heart became even heavier when she heard this. Cheng Yunzhi stroked the top of her hair and said, "You only need to do the autopsy and nothing else will affect you. And when we get to the capital, we will only see more incidents like this in the future. Regardless of my adoptive father, the first thing I want you to know is to protect yourself. If you are a good person, you can still test a few more cases. As for other rights and wrongs, it is not your responsibility, so it is best not to get involved."

Bao Ruoyou didn't understand, so he nodded in agreement.

When she woke up the next morning, Bao Ruoyou was more anxious than usual to go to the Yamen. She didn't sleep well last night, and what Cheng Yunzhi said made her have an ominous premonition, so she rushed to the Yamen to seek confirmation. something.

As soon as he arrived at the Yamen, Bo Ruoyou saw Wu Xiang walking out of the inner hall angrily. When he met her, Wu Xiang's face froze with anger, and Bo Ruoyou asked hurriedly: "What's going on with the arrest?" ”

Wu Xiang sighed, "I visited four houses last night, and they were all present when the crime happened. I originally promised to come and testify early this morning, but I didn't expect that everyone came just now, but they all changed. He didn't want to identify him at all."

Bo Ruoyou's heart skipped a beat, and Wu Xiang looked irritable, "If I had known, I would have brought them to write a statement last night and sign it."

Bo Ruoyou wanted to comfort Wu Xiang, but he didn’t know how to do so. At this moment, a yamen came from outside to drive a horse. When he arrived in front of the yamen, the yamen frowned and said: "Capture the head, Huang Shi came to Yizhuang, and she said she wanted to take back her husband's body."

Wu Xiang's eyes widened, "Get the body back? The case is not over yet, what are you going to do with the body?"

The official said with a grimace, "Because she said she would not sue."

Wu Xiang knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He gritted his teeth and immediately asked someone to prepare his horse. When Bao Ruoyou heard this, she also planned to go to Yizhuang with him to have a look. She couldn't believe it. Yesterday, Huang's It was so sad that he didn't want to complain overnight.

When I arrived at Yizhuang, I saw Uncle Kun waiting at the door. He pointed in the direction of the back hall, "Go and have a look. You must take the body back."

Wu Xiang was about to enter the back hall, and Bo Ruoyou followed him. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Huang sitting on the edge of the morgue with a dull expression. When she heard the noise, she raised her eyes slowly. Looking over, she was not surprised to see Wu Xiang, and then stood up calmly, "Captain Wu, I don't want to sue anymore. I want to take my husband's body back so that he can be buried early."

Wu Xiang frowned, "Why don't you sue before the case is over?"

Huang's eyes were bloodshot, and she had become much more haggard overnight. There was a glimmer of water in her eyes, "Then I dare to ask the head catcher, can he really convict the murderer of the wound?"

Wu Xiang hesitated for a moment. He was always generous and could not say anything definite for a moment.

Ms. Huang looked like she had expected it. She lowered her head to look at her husband's body, tears falling again, "We are a poor family. We can't afford to spend or sue. They sent a lot of money." We also promised to send our children to private schools for money. This is something we never dared to think about before. I have accepted the money."

Wu Xiang was stunned, and there was anger in his eyes. He wanted to ask something, but he felt that no matter how much he scolded him, he couldn't say anything. Huang wiped his face and said, "If it were me lying here, I would also like him In this case, I don't know if he will blame me, but I am really scared. Even if I sue, I will forget it, but the child is too young, how will he survive? We are ants on the ground, and those people just need to move. Toes, we will be dead, I’m afraid..."

The anger in Wu Xiang's eyes disappeared, leaving only bitterness, and he asked after a moment: "How much money did they give?"

"One hundred taels, or two hundred taels, I have never counted it in detail..." Huang wiped her tears, "Thank you so much for the arrest. I really won't sue. I'm just a woman, so I still want the arrest." Don’t blame me.”

Wu Xiang looked at her for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. He ordered her to take away the body, and then asked her to go to the Yamen to write a testimony. After Huang took the body away in an ox cart, Wu Xiang and Bo Ruoyou stood at the gate of Yizhuang without saying a word.

Uncle Kun sat on the stone pier in the atrium and sighed, "This is not the first time we have met, so we have already settled it."

Wu Xiang cursed in a low voice. Bo Ruoyou thought of what Cheng Yunzhi said and felt a chill coming up from the soles of her feet. It was not yet noon, but the sun was already high in the sky. She raised her eyes and looked When she glanced at the sun, her eyes hurt from the bright light, but she still couldn't feel the slightest warmth. She stood for a moment longer, parted with Wu Xiang and returned home.

Bao Ruoyou was not in a good mood on the way, but when she reached the door of her house, she saw two gorgeous carriages parked at the door. She frowned, thinking that the Bo family's mansion was coming again, and immediately frowned and went to Go inside and enter the courtyard, only to see Bo Yixuan standing in the courtyard.

This time we are visiting the second room of the Bo family.

Bo Yixuan was looking at the plantains and purple bamboos in the corner of the courtyard. When he heard the noise, he turned around and raised his slender eyebrows. He stared at Bo Ruoyou for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and said, "You knew last time that we were Who, why don’t you recognize us?”

Bao Ruoyou pursed her lips and said nothing, only looking at the main hall. She looked at Bo Yixuan again, ignored his questioning words, and went straight to the main hall. In the main hall were sitting the second master of the Bo family, Bo Jingli, and his wife, Mrs. Wei. , when the two of them saw her coming back, they both looked sideways. Compared with the one in the first room who was superior, the couple in the second room looked much kinder. Mrs. Wei looked at Bo Ruoyou for a moment, and then came forward to give a gift. Bo Ruoyou accepted it, and then saw the house. There are many gifts they brought.

Cheng Yunzhi looked coldly towards the first room, but was much kinder to the second room. Bo Yixuan followed from behind, and was a little dissatisfied with Bo Ruoyou for ignoring him just now. When they greeted him, Bo Ruoyou called him brother.

When old friends met, they just talked about old things. Wei asked carefully about Fangze's death, and Bo Jingli also talked a little about the Bo family's affairs in the past few years. It turned out that the Bo family has become more and more declining in recent years, and Bo Jingqian is a Yuan Wai Lang was so worried that if it weren't for Lin's care, even Yuan Wai Lang's position would have been squeezed out.

Not long after talking about the marriage that year, Bo Jingli said uncomfortably: "My eldest brother mentioned this matter last night and said that you don't force it anymore. This is unfair to Youyou, but there is nothing you can do about it. Back then... back then The Bo family didn't want to lose their marriage to the Lin family, and the eldest brother also had some selfish motives, so..."

Compared with Dafang's matter-of-fact attitude, Bo Jingli felt a little guilty. Wei said: "But Youyou doesn't have to worry. Without the Lin family, you can still find other marriages. But I heard from my eldest brother and the others that Youyou is doing this now." Zuo Zuo?"

Bo Ruoyou responded. Wei sighed and looked at Cheng Yunzhi again. He seemed quite puzzled. However, due to his lack of straightforwardness, he tentatively said: "This... is also very strange, but There is something wrong with a girl’s family engaging in this business. Apart from other things, your marriage will be greatly affected, and my second aunt still wants to find a good family for you."

Bo Ruoyou said calmly: "Thank you, Second Aunt, for worrying about me. But I have been working as a widower for several years, so I don't think it matters. If others like to point fingers, it doesn't mean anything to me, so it doesn't matter to me." No intention of stopping."

Wei stopped talking and went to see Bo Jingli. Bo Jingli also showed disapproval on his face. They had just met and it was not easy to teach the younger generation. Bo Jingli asked Cheng Yunzhi again about his plans.

After meeting today, although they felt a little alienated and unfamiliar, they were more friendly than yesterday. Cheng Yunzhi stayed with his family for lunch. After lunch, they just left. As soon as they left, Bo Ruoyou sighed helplessly. , she knew that once the Bo family knew about their return, there would be a lot of trouble. Now it seems that this trouble is just the beginning.

Seeing her displeasure, Cheng Yunzhi comforted her kindly: "This is how people are in the world. You have to be patient and deal with it. Although my adoptive father is angry with the elder, he doesn't want you to be completely helpless. Your second uncle is You are a good man, this is a disadvantage, but it also has advantages. If they are willing to take care of you in the future, your adoptive father will be happy in his heart."

When Bo Ruoyou heard this, he wasn't even the slightest bit unhappy, but he said with a sour heart: "My foster father did all this for me."

"Silly girl, you are the only daughter of your adoptive father. Naturally, your adoptive father will have plans for you, not to mention these are nothing." After a pause, Cheng Yunzhi asked her: "Have you seen Wu Zhaohou in the past two days? ”

Bo Ruoyou was slightly stunned, "I haven't seen you for two days, my adoptive father...why do you ask me this?"

Seeing that she was a little uncomfortable, Cheng Yunzhi laughed and said: "Nothing else, it's just that when your second uncle came, he said that there was some turmoil in the court, saying that Marquis Wu Zhao was ordered to quietly take a lot of money from the court. Officer, your uncle is also very nervous because of this. He didn't come with you today because he has something to do at the Yasi, so I thought that if you had met Wu Zhaohou, you might know something about it."

Bo Ruoyou remembered that Huo Weilou went to the government office on official business that day, and what happened that day. Not only did Huo Weilou not reveal anything to her, he also hid it from Sun Zhao. Looking at his appearance, he could tell that he had recently She was indeed busy, but she didn't know why.

Having said this, Bo Ruoyou began to miss Huo Weilou even more. Thinking of his very dedicated nature in work, she expected that it would be difficult to see him again in a few days. However, she did not expect that Huo Weilou would arrive at Cheng's house that night. .

Huo Weilou arrived at Cheng's house but did not enter. Bo Ruoyou came out and opened the curtain of the carriage. Huo Weilou's first words were: "Take the autopsy box and follow me. I want your help."
