Chapter 110 Six Flowers Flying 06

Bo Yixuan frowned and asked, "What happened to make you so out of line?"

He came to visit Cheng's house. No matter how urgent the matter was, he would never rush to someone else's door and yell like this. In front of Bo Ruoyou, he felt quite embarrassed.

The servant cried and said, "The eldest master has been captured by the government. Young Master, please go back to the house quickly!"

Bo Yixuan's expression suddenly changed. Although Bo Jingqian's official position was not high, his position as a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs could still help him gain face among declining aristocratic families in the capital. Moreover, as the head of the Bo family, he had always been the backbone of the family. Bo Yixuan could not imagine that he, who had always been cautious as an official for many years, would be captured by the government!

If anything happens to Bo Jingqian, the sky will fall for the Bo family!

"Why were you taken away?" Bo Yixuan was stunned at first, then suddenly panicked and walked quickly towards the carriage, even Bao Ruoyou had forgotten about it.

The attendant said: "I don't know, the people who came are very vicious, and the eldest master didn't even have time to explain to his wife."

Bo Yixuan got into the carriage, the driver raised his whip and sped away.

The door of Cheng's house was wide open, and Bo Ruoyou stood at the door. He waited for the carriage and horses to pass the end of the long street before he frowned and turned around. He went back to the main hall and told what he had just heard. Cheng Yunzhi was silent at first, and then sneered, " Bo Jingqian is good at maneuvering, but this time he may capsize in the gutter. This matter has nothing to do with us. Whether he is good or bad depends entirely on his own destiny."

Bao Ruoyou nodded in agreement, feeling very calm in his heart. Cheng Yunzhi asked Bo Yixuan what he had said to her. After she finished answering, Cheng Yunzhi shook his head, "I have expected such words. I'm afraid he is not the only one." A person's mind, his parents, and his eldest son all think like this. It's ridiculous. I, the father, haven't said anything, so it's their turn to point fingers."

Although Cheng Yunzhi had thought about her safety in his heart, he would never allow the Bo family to teach Bo Ruoyou a lesson. Seeing that he was angry, Bo Ruoyou smiled leisurely and said, "Don't be angry, foster father, I won't Take these words to heart."

Of course he knew how stubborn Bao Ruoyou was towards Zuo Yiyi. When he saw the ordinary look on her face, he sighed and said, "You look so sweet. If you talk like this again in the future, why don't you ask him to come to me?" Say it in front of me."

Bao Ruoyou smiled and agreed, but although she looked good-natured, she was not a weak and easy-to-manipulate person. Trying to scare her with a few words was simply looking down on her.

She put away her thoughts and thought about Beauty's Smile again. After entering the door, she read the medicine book twice. She became more and more sure that it was the seeds of Beauty's Smile. The seeds can be used as medicine. Could it be that Song Yu had been to a medicinal shop? Either they have been to a place where beauties smile in full bloom, reported the matter to Huo Weilou, and used some manpower to investigate, but I don’t know if they can find out anything.

When she had this idea, she wanted to look for Huo Weilou, but Huo Weilou could not stay in the Hou Mansion during the day. She was afraid that she would be in vain if she went there, so she asked Zhou Liang to get on the carriage and wanted to visit several places by herself. Take a look at the medicinal herb shop.

To the west of Changxingfang is Yujie. Bo Ruoyou chose a herbal medicine shop with a large facade and walked in. Since this thing was rare and expensive, it was impossible to have an ordinary music score. However, after Bo Ruoyou asked, I saw that this shop didn’t have this medicine.

The shopkeeper also said: "The medicinal material that the girl asked about grows in the southwest valley. It is quite rare and expensive. However, the medicinal properties are not without substitutes. If this is the case, why bother to buy this medicine?"

Although this was the case, Bo Ruoyou felt unwilling to give in. He walked around along the Royal Street to the East Market, but he asked four or five well-known medicine shops and medical clinics, large and small, and all of them were He said no, not only that, some young doctors didn't even recognize this medicine. Bo Ruoyou hesitated now. Could it be that someone in the capital really raised Beauty Smile? Or maybe there was a beauty smiling in the Taoist temple Song Yu visited?

She found nothing and was depressed. She felt that she had never helped Huo Weilou. He was only in charge of court affairs. During this period, she was blind to the secrets and secrets. The only skill she had was of little use this time. Even if you have the intention, you are really powerless.

Just like this, they were riding a carriage home. Before they reached the house, Bo Ruoyou saw a carriage parked at the door of Cheng's house. The carriage and horse looked very familiar to her, and her eyes immediately lit up. At this time, the two Hou The servants of the palace came to greet you, "Miss Bo, the Marquis ordered us to take you to the mansion."

It was already dusk, but Bo Ruoyou was still hesitant, and the attendant added: "It's because of last night's case."

Now Bao Ruoyou was completely relieved. He went to the house to explain to Cheng Yunzhi, and then got on the carriage and went to the Hou's Mansion. When he arrived in front of the Hou's Mansion, the sun set in the sky, and the last trace of the afterglow was covered by the clouds. , she carried it into the mansion and went straight to the main courtyard.

Eunuch Fu didn't see her for several days, so he exchanged greetings with her. After entering the study, Eunuch Fu retreated.

Huo Weilou was sitting behind the desk, looking down at something. When he heard the movement, he raised his eyes with an unusual expression. Bo Ruoyou saluted and asked, "Why did the Marquis order me to come? Can I find the Taoist temple?" Already?"

Huo Weilou stood up and walked out, pointing to the low couch under the west window for her to sit down, "I found it at noon today. It is the Sanqing Temple in the east of the city. The little Taoist priest in the temple remembered that Song Yu had been there. Not only that, Song Yu The mugwort cake Yu used was also in the Sanqing Temple, and he still remembered that Song Yu met a person in the temple. This person had a dispute with Song Yu and later left first."

After eating mugwort cake and meeting someone, a dispute broke out. Bo Ruoyou's eyes lit up, "Who is the person you saw? Can you find him?"

Huo Weilou's eyes darkened a little, and he said after a moment: "It's your uncle, Bao Jingqian, a member of the household department."

He had no intention of hiding anything. When Bo Ruoyou heard this, she sat up straight. Thinking of the day when Bo's servants came to look for Bo Yixuan in a hurry, she immediately understood what happened to Bao Jingqian. She was stunned for a moment to think about this joint. Then he looked at Huo Wei Tower, "Is this why the Marquis ordered me to come here?"

Huo Weilou looked at her, "This incident is quite big. He is involved in it, and the entire Bo family is involved. In addition, he has been an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs for many years, but he is not a clean master. At least it will cause some hardship, but at worst it will drag down the entire Bo family. I will tell you so that you can have some peace of mind."

Bao Ruoyou looked at him for a moment, smiled suddenly, and said: "Master Hou, do you remember what he looked like yesterday? I went home and searched for books with my adoptive father for a long time, and found out that they were the seeds of Beauty's Smile, Beauty's Smile The flowers are gorgeous and can be viewed immediately. The seeds, seeds and husks of the fruits can be used as medicine. I visited several shops during the day, but none of them had this medicine. I guess this medicine is rare in the capital, and the reason why Song Yu’s feet were stained Most of the flower seeds go to places where beautiful smiles bloom."

Huo Weilou frowned, turned around and told Eunuch Fu, "Prepare the frame."

Eunuch Fu responded, and he walked in again, "I have never seen the flowers you mentioned, please come with me to Sanqing Temple."

Bao Ruoyou had already had this thought and got up immediately. The two of them went out together and soon got on the carriage. Eunuch Fu stood on the porch and looked at them. He was worried about Huo Weilou for a while. Both of them were always thinking about something. On errands, when can we get closer?

In the carriage, Bo Ruoyou asked again: "Why did my uncle go to see Mr. Song? Since there was a dispute, he was suspected of poisoning Mr. Song."

Huo Weilou looked at her, as if he was trying to grasp the deeper meaning of her words. Bo Ruoyou was looked at by him and said quickly: "I don't want to inquire. If it is inconvenient for you, please don't pay attention to me. I don't care." Selfless."

Huo Weilou said: "I know that you are not very close to Dafang, but after all, we are your relatives. I am afraid that you will be unhappy if I hide it from you." He paused again, "It is really difficult to tell you a lot of inside information. It's just that he was suspected of killing Song Yu with poison, and secondly, he was also involved in the corruption in Weicang. He was put in the sky jail during the day and interrogated for a long time, but his words were vague and he really was hiding something."

Bao Ruoyou didn't dare to ask more questions about corruption, but poisoning was a case of human life. She had done the autopsy, so she naturally knew what to ask and what not to ask. She nodded, "I understand, Hou I am fair and impartial, I trust you, and I will not be ignorant of propriety."

"You really don't want to ask anything else?" Huo Weilou looked at him again.

Bo Ruoyou thought for a while, "If this matter falls on my adoptive father, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

She is not a selfish person, but she only uses her selfishness towards those closest to her. Huo Weilou's eyes darkened slightly when he heard this, "What if this matter happens to me?"

Bo Ruoyou subconsciously thought it was impossible, "Is there anyone in this world who dares to capture Mr. Hou?"

Huo Weilou smiled for a moment and did not ask any more questions. The carriage drove through the long street and went straight to Sanqing Temple in the east of the city. Sanqing Temple was in the northeast of the city, leaning against Xuanwu Lake outside the imperial city. The carriage was outside the gate. When we stopped, night fell in panic.

Huo Wei got off the carriage and climbed up the stairs surrounded by a group of attendants. Bo Ruoyou followed him. As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by two paths. He had only been searched during the day. At this time The expressions on the faces of these two people were even more anxious.

Huo Weilou asked straight to the point about the beauty's smile. However, the two people in the street looked at each other, neither of them knew what the beauty's smile was. Huo Weilou looked ugly and ordered: "Search the front and back yards, as well as the woods in the backyard. , and must not let it go."

His voice was cold, and the attendants left in response. He then turned to look at Bo Ruoyou, "Follow me."

His voice became softer unconsciously, and Bo Ruoyou hurriedly followed. This Taoist temple is not big, and the only ones who are always present are this pair of senior brothers. I started making mugwort cake recently. Come here to serve it. Anyone who added incense or money for incense would be given a portion as a gift. Bo Ruoyou followed Huo Weilou around to the places where flowers and trees could be planted, but he didn't see any brightly colored flowers and plants.

After all, Taoist temples also emphasize purity of mind and few desires, and beautiful women with gorgeous smiles and colorful flowers are indeed not easy to be planted in the temples by Taoist priests. Bo Ruoyou frowned and went to find the young Taoist priest to inquire. After asking, he learned that the temple There are no medicinal materials.

Knowing that this place probably had nothing to do with Beauty's Smile, Bo Ruoyou asked about Song Yu's condition when he came. The little Taoist priest said: "It was fine when I came. There were not many pilgrims yesterday. The gentleman was very impressive and eye-catching. He entered the temple, went to the main hall to worship, and then called for a vegetarian meal in the backyard, which included mugwort cakes. Just then, the second master came."

"The two of them seemed to have an appointment a long time ago, and the younger ones didn't dare to disturb them. But not long after, they heard the noise. When they entered the backyard pavilion, they heard something. Later, the second gentleman Then he stormed away angrily, and the tea cup on the table was smashed to the ground. It seemed that there was a dispute, and the little people didn't dare to disturb each other. They waited for a while before seeing the first master leave."

Bo Ruoyou asked nervously: "What did he look like when he left?"

Xiaodao said hurriedly: "When I left, my expression was as usual, and I didn't see any discomfort. It was just past the halfway mark."

The Ambassador of Xiuyi had already asked about these words, and Huo Weilou was not interested in hearing them. On the contrary, Bo Ruoyou pondered for a moment. When he came out of the gate, Bo Ruoyou said: "That beauty is smiling. The seeds were either at the Taoist temple or somewhere else, and since he left before half time but returned home at dusk, he would not have been wandering around in the market for the two hours in between."

As he spoke, he muttered again: "My uncle didn't miss every word? This place is a bit remote, and if he doesn't believe it, he has an appointment to come here."

Getting on the carriage, Huo Weilou said: "He only said that he was here on orders, and also talked about some ordinary things in the household department. As for the dispute, he said that Song Yu planned to deprive him of his position as a member of the family, and another If it had been anyone else, he would have been so angry that he just took action."

The carriage left the Taoist temple and went to the Hou Mansion. Bo Ruoyou glanced outside and said, "The onset of the poison was not obvious, so even though he looked normal when he left, he might have been poisoned. As for the next step, he went Elsewhere, you can only find a beautiful woman smiling in the capital."

The embroidery envoy still needs to investigate next. Huo Weilou didn’t know what he was thinking about and didn’t say anything for a while. Bo Ruoyou knew in his heart that this case was not as simple as a murder case, so he didn’t dare to ask more questions. After walking two streets, Huo Weilou just said: "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come with me back to the Marquis Mansion for dinner, and I will take you home."

It was nothing to eat, so Bo Ruoyou agreed. However, when he returned to the gate of the Hou Mansion, Bo Ruoyou saw a carriage and horses parked outside the house. It turned out to be a visitor. Huo Weilou glanced at the gatekeeper waiting at the door. The attendant at the office said to Bo Ruoyou, "It's Lin Huai."

Bao Ruoyou immediately wanted to avoid it, but Huo Weilou said, "He already knew that you were doing the autopsy on this case, so why are you avoiding him?"

When they entered the Hou Mansion, they saw that Lin Huai did not come alone, but their father and son came together. The two of them did not expect that Huo Weilou was accompanied by Bo Ruoyou, and both looked surprised. Huo Weilou entered the main hall. He sat down and said in a calm tone: "She got new clues from her autopsy, and just now she went with me to the Taoist temple that Song Yu visited."

Lin Huai understood and said hurriedly: "Master Hou, we are here to ask about the Bo family."

As if to avoid taboos, Lin Huai and Lin Zhao said: "Zhao'er, take your sister and wait outside."

Huo Weilou frowned when he heard this, but when he wanted to ask about the case, he glanced at Bo Ruoyou and did not stop him. After the two young men left the main hall, Lin Huai asked with a wry smile: "Master Hou, are you okay? Recruited?"

Huo Weilou said with a smile but not a smile: "It seems that someone from the Bo family came to your door. They hired people, but they made some useless remarks. When they asked about the key points, they were very tight-lipped, but today it's just On the first day of entering the Heavenly Prison, and on the next two days, I am not afraid that he will not speak."

Lin Huai hesitated for a moment, "Then, Lord Marquis, how much does this matter have to do with him?"

Seeing Huo Weilou frowning, Lin Huai said again: "It's not that I want to beg for mercy, I just have an idea in my heart. If they beg at the door, it will give them reassurance."

Huo Weilou didn't look at Lin Huai. He looked outside the hall door, looking a little irritated because he couldn't see what Bo Ruoyou and Lin Zhao were doing. "As long as the account books in the household department passed his hands, , he can't get rid of it. In comparison, it doesn't matter whether Song Yu's death has anything to do with him." After a pause, he looked at Lin Huai, "If you are really worried, you can go to the sky prison tomorrow to investigate. If you make him speak earlier, he will suffer less."

Lin Huai broke into cold sweat when he heard this.

Lin Zhao and Bo Ruoyou came out together, not daring to stand at the door, so they walked a few steps towards the corridor on the right. Lin Zhao's eyebrows were covered with sorrow. After standing still, he asked Bo Ruoyou, "Do you know, second sister?" Already?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "The Marquis said so."

Lin Zhao sighed, "This matter is quite serious. Although my father knows something about the inside story, he can't help." He glanced at the hall door, "Shibo has been in the household department for many years, and it's not like he can't understand the importance of it. People."

Bo Ruoyou didn't say anything, but Lin Zhao turned around to comfort him, "But you don't have to worry, the Marquis is fair and will not unjustly accuse Shibo."

Bao Ruoyou felt that Lin Zhao had misunderstood her, but she was not worried about Bao Jingqian.

Seeing that her expression was solemn and she didn't answer, Lin Zhao suddenly said: "This case is of great importance. I never thought that the Marquis would ask you to do an autopsy. If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain." After a slight pause, he asked : "Are there any clues against Shibo now?"

Bao Ruoyou then raised his eyes and looked at Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao was engaged to Bo Yixian. It was normal for him to care about Bao Jingqian at this time. "Young master Lin should not ask me this. Uncle Lin is also watching my autopsy."

Lin Zhao was a little stunned for a moment, "I'm the one who said too much. Second sister, please don't mind me."

Bao Ruoyou shook his head and did not answer. Lin Zhao felt uncomfortable when he saw her cold expression. Thinking of going to the Yamen that day, he felt that he was too abrupt. He went to visit later, but was rude to go first. Xu This did not make Bao Ruoyou feel the concern in his heart, so he said: "Second sister often follows the Marquis on errands, does it feel hard?"

Bao Ruoyou glanced towards the hall door and shook his head, "It's hard work."

Lin Zhao didn't know what to say for a moment. Just as he was hesitating, he saw Lin Huai walking out with sweat on his forehead. Lin Zhao rushed to greet him. Bo Ruoyou also blessed him with blessings. Lin Huai Looking at the two people in front of him, he felt really bad in his heart. It was because of family friends and in-laws that he acted for the Bo family, but this would easily arouse suspicion for the Lin family. Considering Huo Weilou's intentions, no one would be able to forgive him this time. .

He looked at Bo Ruoyou, and for a moment he felt that it would be great if the marriage was changed to her, but the matter was over. After all, it was just a delusion. After a few words with Bo Ruoyou, he told Lin Zhao, "Let's go. Zhao'er."

Lin Zhao glanced at the hall door, "What did the Marquis say?"

Lin Huai shook his head and said, "Let's discuss it again when we go back home."

Lin Zhao understood, but looked at Bo Ruoyou, "Have you finished the errands between the second sister and the Marquis? Do I want to send you home?"

"Not yet, the servant of the Marquis Mansion will send it to me later."

Seeing this, Lin Huai took Lin Zhao to say goodbye and walked out. Lin Zhao turned around three times and saw Bao Ruoyou entering the main hall with brisk steps. He seemed to have no awe for Huo Wei Tower as he did in Luozhou. Something strange came out.

Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou with some dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Why have you been gone so long?"

Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and said, "Uncle Lin said a few words after he came out."

Huo Weilou stood up and ordered someone to prepare the meal. They went to the side hall and saw the delicious food on the table. The person in front of them was sitting opposite him. It seemed that she had become the hostess of the Hou Mansion, and this was just her. It was the feeling of an ordinary meal that accompanied her every day. The lights in the hall were bright, making her beautiful face look as gentle as jade, especially her eyes, which were twinkling, soft and seductive.

She sat in front of him so obediently, and no matter how dissatisfied she was, it all disappeared. He ate this meal very slowly. He had never eaten so slowly in the past few years.

His schedule used to be tight, there were always endless official documents on his desk, there were always endless errands to be done in the palace, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him inside and outside the court, and he would not allow himself to make any mistakes. , He couldn't afford to go out, so he ran around here and there. He even thought that it would be better if people didn't need to eat or sleep.

This is how steel and iron bones are made, but now facing him, he unconsciously wanted to make time go slower. Since time couldn't slow down, he went slower. Slowing down, this meal was not good. I also tasted some of the original flavor, and it no longer tasted like chewing wax before.

Bao Ruoyou felt that Huo Weilou was always staring at her, which made her feel guilty. After finishing the meal, she was about to say goodbye and leave the house. When Huo Weilou saw that she wanted to run away faster than a rabbit, he frowned again. Wanting to see her off in person, Lu Ke came to the mansion instead. When Bo Ruoyou saw Lu Ke, it was as if he was seeing a relative. He smiled and exchanged greetings with him, then followed Eunuch Fu to the door of the mansion. After all, Huo Weilou ordered the attendants to give her.

Lu Ke watched Bo Ruoyou leave with a smile, "Miss Bo seems to be particularly happy today, and her smile is even sweeter."

After saying this, he turned around and met the cold eyes of his Lord Marquis. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took out the official document in his hand and said solemnly, "Master Marquis, Mr. Song's wife and children are all here." We found him, and he did return to Yunzhou. Our people asked about it, and they said that when they left that day, Song Yu said that if he could survive, he would resign from his official position and return to his hometown. If he could not stay, he would send his mother and son to Never come back to Beijing again."

Huo Weilou took the official document and entered the study. As he walked, he said: "Song Yu first went to the Taoist temple that day, and then went to another place. There is probably a kind of flower called Beauty Smiling growing there. I will bring it with him tomorrow morning. When people go to investigate, they must find this place. If they know who he has seen, they will know who poisoned him."

Lu Ke raised his eyebrows, "Master Bo is the one I caught today..."

After Huo Weilou sat down to write, he sneered, "He doesn't have the guts. It's just that he has been in the Ministry of Household Affairs for many years, and he has developed a naughty temperament that turns a blind eye. How much can he pry with his mouth?" Come up with something else."

Lu Ke asked again: "Is that a serious interrogation, or..."

Huo Weilou said without raising his head: "If the Chief of Staff can enter the prison, is there anyone who is interrogating him improperly?"

When Lu Ke heard this, he touched his nose and said hesitantly: "It seems that my subordinate thought wrongly. I thought Master Bo was Miss Bo's uncle, and the Marquis wanted to treat him differently." Wait a few minutes, after all, our serious interrogation will cost people's lives." After he finished speaking, he looked at Huo Weilou very carefully, for fear that his words would displease him.

Huo Weilou stopped looking at the official document for a moment, and after a moment he said in a normal voice: "You are not wrong."
