Chapter 158 Eight Treasures Makeup 12

After having dinner at the Hou Mansion, Bo Ruoyou talked about the case of Bai Niaoyuan, "The five of them all studied under the same master. About seven or eight years ago, the master's family left the capital. They each lived in theaters and boats. Later, they were bought into the Bird Garden by the Prince of Nan'an County because of the city's bird show. This time, the three brothers were killed one after another, and they felt that they were inseparable from the old events. ”

"Have you ever found out why the family class broke up that year?" Huo Weilou asked.

Bao Ruoyou shook his head, "The boss has sent many people to investigate in the past few days, but after all, it has been many years, and it is not a prestigious family class. Now it is difficult to hear any news. We have to wait a little longer. ."

The night outside the window was like ink, and Bo Ruoyou thought that it was getting late, so he thought about it. At this time, he seemed to think of something and said: "Have you ever seen Her Royal Highness the Princess in the past few days since your return?"

Huo Weilou should be saying, "I saw it the day before yesterday. I have been feeling groggy and ignorant these past few days, so it's okay."

Bo Ruoyou said casually: "After Mr. Hou left Beijing, I mentioned the illness of the eldest princess to my adoptive father. From what I saw, my adoptive father seemed to be somewhat confident about the illness. Is Mr. Hou willing to let his adoptive father try it? Try?"

Huo Weilou was naturally delighted. Bo Ruoyou had to go sooner rather than later. Tomorrow he would come with Cheng Yunzhi to the eldest princess's mansion. Huo Weilou came down and saw that it was late. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still ordered someone to see her off. Go back home.

After returning to Cheng's house, Bo Ruoyou told Cheng Yunzhi about seeing a doctor for the eldest princess. Cheng Yunzhi agreed and went to prepare some medicinal materials, planning to take them to the eldest princess's house tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Bo Ruoyou and Cheng Yunzhi went to Wu Zhaohou's Mansion first, and then went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion together. When they arrived at the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Huo Weilou did not go to the Eldest Princess's house because he was afraid of causing the Eldest Princess to fall ill. After taking Cheng Yunzhi to see the eldest princess, Huo Weilou took a moment to relax and took Bao Ruoyou to the garden of the princess's mansion.

It is now early October, the weather is getting colder, and the flowers and trees in the garden are withering away without the help of craftsmen.

Huo Weilou took Bo Ruoyou onto a stone bridge, stood on the bridge, and took in most of the garden of the Princess Mansion. Huo Weilou pointed to a courtyard in the north, "That's where I lived when I was young. After joining the army, he rarely returned to his hometown. When he was eighteen years old and was granted the title of Marquis, he never came back to live there again."

Bo Ruoyou was busy with business and wanted to take a look, but Huo Wei said: "I haven't returned for many years. Everyone in the garden wants to serve their mother. The rest of the courtyard is deserted, and the same is true for where I live. ”

Bao Ruoyou was afraid that he would be moved by the scene, so he suppressed his thoughts and only talked to him on the stone bridge.

Cheng Yunzhi's pulse check took longer than they expected. Not long after, Eunuch Fu came over to them and saw that he was the only one. Both Huo Weilou and Bao Ruoyou looked confused. When they came to them, Eunuch Fu Then he smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng really has a way. Just now, the eldest princess was a little uneasy when she saw a stranger. Mr. Cheng lit some incense and talked to the eldest princess for a while, and she actually trusted her very much. He is now The old slave gave the acupuncture to the princess and saw that although the eldest princess was in some pain, she did not appear to be ill."

Huo Weilou said to Bo Ruoyou: "In recent years, many famous doctors and imperial doctors have been invited to the government. Some people are not liked by my mother just by meeting her face to face. If these people are allowed to treat my mother, it will be easy to offend her. My mother is ill, so I only let Gui Lan pass by."

Bo Ruoyou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "It's good that Your Highness the Princess doesn't reject your adoptive father."

Eunuch Fu said with a smile: "I heard what Mr. Cheng said just now. He has treated this kind of disease before, and he has cured it. He also wrote about the daily use of medicinal foods, and he mapped it out slowly. He is very organized."

Huo Weilou was slightly surprised, "Have you been cured of madness?"

He looked at Bo Ruoyou. Bo Ruoyou tilted his head and thought for a while, but didn't think of it for a moment, "It was probably before his adoptive father left Beijing. When his adoptive father arrived in Qingzhou, he almost stopped practicing medicine except to nurse his adoptive mother back to health. See a doctor."

Huo Weilou also guessed the same, and knowing that Cheng Yunzhi had cured his illness, he had more trust and hope in Cheng Yunzhi.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Yunzhi came out of the inner garden and saw Huo Weilou. Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "Your Highness the Princess has been ill for many years and is now extremely weak. I prepared acupuncture but did not dare. Now we can only treat her slowly, so as not to overdo it, and treat her for a year and a half to see if she can recover a little bit."

The eldest princess has been ill for more than ten years. She has been asking doctors for help and has tried all kinds of methods. Even Huo Weilou, who had long realized that there was little hope, now heard this and said with relief: "Sir, just do it." Just heal your mother in your own way. Now I don’t seek to cure my mother completely. As long as she doesn’t get moody and hurt herself, that’ll be great.”

Cheng Yunzhi is confident about this, "This is not difficult. It will take at least a year and initial results will be seen."

The chilly cool breeze of late autumn suddenly felt a little warmer. Huo Weilou was in a good mood and looked at the eldest princess from a distance in the inner garden. He then invited Bao Ruoyou and Cheng Yunzhi to return to the Marquis Mansion together, leaving him alone. After lunch at the mansion, Cheng Yunzhi wanted to go to the Lin family to visit the doctor, while Bo Ruoyou wanted to go to the Yamen.

Huo Weilou ordered Zhou Liang to send Cheng Yunzhi to the Lin family, and he personally took Bo Ruoyou to the Yamen to answer the question.

As the carriage walked on the road, Huo Weilou held Bao Ruoyou's hand. Although he didn't say much, Bo Ruoyou could feel that he was extremely uneasy in his heart. "Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Madness is difficult to cure, but my adoptive father Since you can treat others well, you can also treat the eldest princess well."

Ever since the eldest princess always regarded him as the Duke of Dingguo, mother and son were strangers to each other. After the age of fifteen, he clearly had a mother, but it was as if he didn't have one. Not only that, the biological mother's chaotic resentment was... No matter how strong-minded a person is, he will eventually find it unbearable. If the eldest princess's condition improves, even if she is still groggy and unable to recognize people and remember things, as long as she can get along with him peacefully, at least she can be able to do her best in front of her mother. filial piety.

Huo Weilou held her hand tightly, "I know, I trust your adoptive father."

When they arrived at the Yamen, Sun Zhao saw Huo Weilou coming with him, and he immediately cheered up. When asked about the case in Aviary Garden, Sun Zhao took them to the inner treasury, "When I came back yesterday, Wu Xiang took two people with him. After entering the inner treasury, they said they were digging through an old case, but they couldn't find it all night long. They are still looking at it today, but they are just rough people. It's okay to search and find people, but it is really difficult for them to see if the files are true. Well, there are not many civil servants in the yamen..."

After saying that, he arrived at the door of the inner treasury. Both Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou had been here several times. In the blue sky and white sun, Wu Xiang held a book in his hands. His eyelids were drooped, and his head drooped a little. Passed by.

"Ahem——"

Sun Zhao coughed, and Wu Xiang woke up suddenly. Seeing Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou coming, his expression changed and he stood up, "Master Hou, Xiao Bo——"

Bo Ruoyou walked in and asked, "Why did the arrester turn over these old files?"

Wu Xiang rubbed his face and suppressed his sleepiness, "Last night I went to the Aviary Garden to find a craftsman and asked as you said, and sure enough I found out that the feathers turned out to be the feathers of a white parrot. The bird garden is large. There are usually people watching in the courtyard at night, and people are coming and going during the day, so it is not easy to commit murder, so I thought that the place where the murderer committed the murder must not be in the courtyard."

"After further inquiry, I found out that there are more than ten high-quality white parrots in the garden. The parrots like camphor wood, so a small camphor wood forest was planted in the northwest of the garden. During the day, the parrots come out of their cages. They will roost there, and there are two large water tanks for feeding the birds. When we went there yesterday, there were indeed parrot feathers floating in the water tanks."

"The servants in the garden said that they clean the water tank on weekdays, but there are tiny feathers that are difficult to detect, so they will miss something. One month later, although there is no direct evidence, we have visited the entire garden, I still feel that Zhangmu Forest is the place where Jiang Xing was killed."

It was almost the same as what he expected. Bo Ruoyou felt relieved, and Wu Xiang said again: "After I came back last night, I went to inquire about the old master's office. He came back and said that he had visited all the large and small offices in the capital. , no one else knew that there was a theater troupe from Chaozhou in the capital seven or eight years ago. Liu Qing said that the theater troupe was called Zhaojiaban, and the troupe leader, the old master, was called Zhao Qianshan, and nothing else. But when our people went to inquire, , but I asked something by chance——"

"A senior costume maker in the theater said that eleven or twelve years ago, there was indeed a Zhao family troupe in the capital, which was famous for its miscellaneous operas and gained a small reputation. However, later this theater troupe was destroyed by a fire. It was completely burned, and many people died. I don’t know if the troupe leader escaped or died. Anyway, the troupe dispersed soon. I don’t know who reported it to the police, but there were only a group of half-grown children left in the troupe. In the end, there was no one left. After finding out how the fire started, everyone in the troupe went their separate ways."

Bo Ruoyou said sharply: "Are they lying?"

In their words, the theater troupe that was involved in an accident due to a fire more than ten years ago became the family troupe that broke up seven or eight years ago because they could not make a living.

If the government only asks about what happened seven or eight years ago, it is afraid that they will not be able to find any trace of the Zhao family class, and it will naturally be ignored by then. However, Liu Qing and others are all over the age of 20, and when something happened, He was at least seven or eight years old at that time, which is not an age where he doesn't remember things.

It is a major event that killed many people, and they should never forget it for the rest of their lives.

Wu Xiang tugged his lips and sneered: "It's really annoying to say that three of Ye Fei and the others died, but the remaining two still refused to talk about what happened back then. When asked about the brothers, what happened? There are old grudges, but they all keep silent. I guess the next person the murderer wants to kill may be one of them. Now I have taken the person back to the Yamen and locked him up."

Even if he was about to be murdered, he still refused to cooperate with the government. The reason behind this concealment was that he had to find out what happened in the past before he could make a good judgment. Bo Ruoyou understood what Wu Xiang was looking for and immediately offered to help, because it was just an old case among the people. It didn't involve court secrets, so Sun Zhao was naturally right.

Bo Ruoyou went to help read the old case files. Huo Weilou and Sun Zhao stood together and talked. Huo Weilou had not gone to court for many days, so Sun Zhao picked up all the affairs in the court and talked about them. Suddenly he remembered something, "There is another thing recently. I wonder if the Marquis knows about it. Mr. Lin's son had been engaged to be married to Xiaobo's cousin. But just two days ago, the Lin family wanted to regret the engagement."

Huo Weilou's eyes were falling on Bo Ruoyou. When he heard this, his eyebrows were slightly raised.
