Chapter 177 Nine Ileum 09

Bo Ruoyou left the Hou Mansion and went to the Yamen with Hou Yang. The case was not taken over by the Direct Envoy Department. Huo Weilou had official duties, so he did not go with him.

When they arrived at the Yamen, Wu Xiang had returned, and there was a six or seven-year-old child who came back with him. The child looked familiar. It was the little kid who wore a ghost mask and answered Bo Ruoyou's question. He came with the government officials and was a little nervous. Wu Xiang was sending people to the street to buy some candy cakes for him to eat.

Seeing Bo Ruoyou, the little kid was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to come forward and speak. Bo Ruoyou smiled at him, and Wu Xiang said beside him: "This child's name is Zhang Duo, he is from a back street. You should have seen children from farmers’ families.”

Seeing Bo Ruoyou nod, Wu Xiang added: "After I went to Xiangguo Temple, I visited the town. In addition to the guests in the inn, I tried to find everyone else who knew Wen Jin. At this time, the inn The boy said that several times when Wen Jin was playing in front of the inn, he played with several children, so I went to the town to look for him."

"Then we found him. His family also knew that something happened in the town, but they didn't know it was Wen Jin. After asking him, he said that he had seen Wen Jin on the eleventh day of the winter lunar month."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Do you remember clearly?"

"I remember clearly that because it was his grandmother's birthday that day, he wore new clothes, but when he ran to play in the street, he fell to the ground and soiled his clothes. It was also at that time that he saw Wen Jin and Next to a man wearing a mask, as you had guessed before, it was a man wearing a monkey king mask, and Wen Jin was wearing a fox fairy mask on his face. When he saw him, he happily took off the mask To show off, Zhang Duo also went back that day and begged his family to buy him a ghost mask."

After Wu Xiang finished speaking, he went to see Zhang Duo. Zhang Duo finished eating the candy cake and looked at them with curious eyes. Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and said, "You remember me, right?"

Zhang Duo nodded, and Bo Ruoyou asked: "I didn't know you recognized Wen Jin that day. Today you may think about it again, which direction did the man who took Wen Jin go that day? What was he wearing? What did you do before?" Have you seen it in town?"

Zhang Duo blinked and became a little nervous. Wu Xiang said: "I have already asked about this. He said that Wen Jin was taken away in the direction of Fanyin Inn. At that time, he thought the man was Wen Jin's. Father, the clothes on his body are also very ordinary. If he can’t see his face, he doesn’t know if he has seen him before.”

After Wu Xiang finished speaking, he added: "But he said that the man was a little strange. When he was holding Wen Jin, although he couldn't see his face clearly and didn't speak, he kept coughing and his body bent when he coughed. In addition, On the back of his hand holding Wen Jin, you can still see some light-colored scars. I suspected that the man was sick, but I couldn't tell, so I brought him back so I could explain it to you in detail."

Only then did Bao Ruoyou understand what Wu Xiang meant by bringing the child back to the Yamen. Her heart moved slightly, and she quickly asked Zhang Duo. Zhang Duo whispered: "The cough sounds like catching a cold, the Wen family The young master wanted to see the mask with me, but he refused. He whispered something when he took Wen Jin away. It was just getting dark at that time, and because he was so close, he could see clearly that there were some scars on his wrists. They were not scars, but something like The bruises caused by the fall are purple-red in color, and they are not large in size. They are just that big——"

Zhang Duo made a circle the size of a peach core, and Bo Ruoyou frowned. Wu Xiang looked at her hopefully, "How is it? Can you tell what kind of disease it is?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "I'm not sure yet. I don't know if it's a skin disease or another internal disease. I want to go home and ask my adoptive father."

Wu Xiang nodded and asked Zhang Duo about his clothing, appearance, etc. Zhang Duo was just a child and could only describe it vaguely, "Not very fierce. Wen Jin wants to talk to me. He seems to be No, but he spoke softly. I didn’t even hear what he said, so I thought it was Wen Jin’s father. He’s so tall... I’ll get to his waist..."

The way he described it made Bo Ruoyou feel that he was seeing the same person as the old man selling masks. If so, he could almost narrow down the murderer's direction.

Wu Xiang did not dare to let Zhang Duo stay longer, so he ordered someone to send him home. After the arrangements were completed, Bo Ruoyou was waiting for him, "Does the arrester know about Mr. Ming?"

"I know, you asked someone to check whether there have been any similar cases in the past few years."

Bao Ruoyou nodded, "Yes, after Mr. Ming talked about the omitted details yesterday, I felt more and more likely that it was the same murderer, and the bell plus the murderer's method of killing people always seemed weird, so Mr. Hou I sent my attendant to Xiangguo Temple."

Bo Ruoyou told the servants of the Hou family what they had learned at Xiangguo Temple. After listening to this, Wu Xiang's face became more solemn, "So you already suspect that this matter is related to the Taoist death technique?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "Yes, and this kind of death technique often happens to old Taoist priests who are about to die. But if a person is seriously ill and feels that his time is running out, is it possible to use this technique? Waiting for evil magic?"

Wu Xiang's eyes brightened, "The person who took Wen Jin away is very likely to be seriously ill!"

Bo Ruoyou responded, "The Marquis has sent people to inquire about Taoist temples inside and outside the city. He wants to find a powerful Taoist priest to ask you what kind of Taoist method the death technique is. If the murderer is really a sick person, I think there are many clues to investigate."

Wu Xiang thought for a while and then said: "In that case, I will first go to the Sanqing Temple in the city. If the murderer is really a Taoist and is seriously ill, he may often go to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and ordinary people can get it. When you are seriously ill, don’t you first pray to gods and Buddhas at the beginning?”

This was exactly what Bo Ruoyou wanted, so the two went to the inner treasury to meet with Hu Changqing. In the past two days, Hu Changqing led the clerks to uncover several more suspicious cases, and Bo Ruoyou handed them over to Wu Xiang for review. , I will go home first to find Cheng Yunzhi.

Her knowledge of medicine was still shallow. She only listened to what Zhang Duo said and was not sure what the symptoms were. When she returned home and told Cheng Yunzhi, Cheng Yunzhi pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to make a conclusion just by saying this. The weather is so early in winter." It's nothing to feel cold occasionally. The scars on the hands may be injuries or other illnesses. Looking at the two separately, this person is very likely to be sick, and it is not necessarily a serious illness. ."

Bo Ruoyou said: "What if it's a serious illness?"

"If you are seriously ill, the cough may be tuberculosis, and there are purple and red scars on the body..." At this point, Cheng Yunzhi's eyes suddenly darkened, "I just remembered that there is a disease in which people are prone to coughing like wind and cold. At the same time, scarring will also occur on the body. This disease is called hematuria, which is mostly caused by weakness of the five internal organs. In serious cases, it can kill people in two months, and for some people, it will last for several years. This disease is terminal. , it is difficult to cure. Once you suffer from this disease, it is almost impossible to prepare for your funeral."

At this point, Cheng Yunzhi paused slightly, "There is another symptom of this disease. If an ordinary person is injured and bleeds, the wound will usually clot and heal. But for patients with this disease, once they are injured, even a small injury, they will bleed. If the flow continues, death is very likely."

Bo Ruoyou had also heard about this disease, and she kept it in mind. At dusk, the servants of the Hou Mansion invited her to come over.

Knowing that the matter of inviting the Taoist priest had come to an end, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly took a carriage out. When he arrived at the Marquis Mansion, Mr. Fu was waiting at the door.

Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and asked, "Father, did you invite a Taoist priest?"

Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "We invited the Taoist Priest, but this Taoist Priest has a special status."

Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised, but Eunuch Fu kept it secret, "You'll know when you get there."

Walking all the way to the main courtyard, Bo Ruoyou saw a big change in the northwest direction of the mansion. It was the southern garden landscape created by the craftsmen of Huo Wei Tower. She calmed down and waited outside the hall door. She suddenly felt something strange. An unexpected surprise came.

Huo Weilou was sitting at the main seat in the hall, but the person accompanying him was the loyal uncle Feng Qin, whom he had not seen for many days. In the lower seat, Huo Qinghong and Feng Ye were sitting opposite each other. No one knew what they said. , all with smiles on their faces.

Huo Weilou saw Bo Ruoyou first and stood up to greet him. Everyone looked over and stood up one after another.

This was not the first time that Uncle Zhongyi met Bo Ruoyou. At first, he only knew that Bo Ruoyou was the daughter of the Bo family. But now that Bo Ruoyou is the head of the county and is related to Huo Weilou, naturally things are different now. He smiled. He looked at Bao Ruoyou carefully, and when Bao Ruoyou came to greet her, he greeted her in a rather friendly manner.

After Bao Ruoyou sat down, Huo Weilou said: "The master of Sanqing Temple has not returned yet, and it took a lot of time to go outside the city. Uncle knew what we wanted to ask, so he went to the house to answer our questions. ."

Huo Qinghong smiled and said: "It's a coincidence. When I came over, I heard my elder brother ordering people to leave the city. I was thinking, why go out of the city? There are many people who practice Taoism in the capital, and I don't recognize them, but I know that my uncle has cultivated his moral character in the past few years and is considered to be a half-spiritual person. Feng Ye happened to have an appointment with me in the afternoon, so I mentioned this matter."

Bo Ruoyou knew that Huo Qinghong had a share of the credit for this. After he finished speaking, Feng Qin smiled and said: "It is true that I am only half a cultivator, and I am just cultivating myself. What you want to ask I know the art of death, but the method is very dangerous and the process is extremely painful. Ordinary people would not dare to try it even if they know that they have limited time."

"Although I don't know what kind of case it is, there are very many people who do evil, and I think it is very human. This technique of death can be regarded as a Taoist secret technique. It is true that one should keep the inside and live after death, but the cost is very high, and this method is also Originating from a passage in the Taoist "Saving People Sutra", Yuanshi Tianzun said that after preaching the Sutra ten times, dry bones will be reborn. He also said that the great Brahma Qi circulates in ten directions, and there is an immortal **** who can save people——"

"Although this scripture is a treasured scripture of Taoism, orthodox Taoism does not advocate this kind of cultivation technique, and it is regarded by many people as a heretical way. However, many people want to use this method because of the theory of returning to the body and raising the dead. To become an immortal, to be reincarnated and to seek immortality, but everyone in the world knows how this is possible..."

Feng Qin sighed and shook his head, suddenly wondering, "Did someone use this method to cultivate Taoism and save lives?"

Bo Ruoyou hesitated for a moment, but did not explain clearly, "I'm not sure yet whether it has anything to do with Taoism. At the moment, I just suspect that someone is using this method to harm people."

Feng Qin was confused after hearing this, but he also knew that he shouldn’t ask more questions, so he said: "Taoism has been flourishing in the Zhou Dynasty for many years. With more people joining the religion, there will naturally be people with impure thoughts..."

Feng Qin said this and then murmured: "But this art of death is to cultivate your own mortal body, why would it harm others?"

Huo Weilou said: "Since his mind is impure, he will naturally not be able to practice the right path. I am afraid that this person will not show his trace and hide in ordinary Taoist temples to commit evil."

After saying this, Feng Qin seemed to think of something, "What the Marquis said made me remember something. Because of my Taoism, I often went to and from several Taoist temples outside the city. I once remembered that in the autumn of last year, outside the city There was once a Taoist priest in Feiyun Temple who was expelled from the Taoist temple. Later, I heard people comment that the Taoist priest taught Taoism to others in private, but the Taoism he taught was different from the orthodox Taoism."

Bo Ruoyou's expression tightened, "Uncle, does he know the humanitarian number?"

Feng Qin shook his head, "I didn't ask about the Taoist number, but this matter happened last year. If I go to Feiyun Temple to investigate now, I will definitely find out."

The direction was clear, and Bo Ruoyou immediately became energetic. Feng Qin could not help him for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye. Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou took a few steps away, and Huo Qinghong took over. Feng Qin and his son sent them out of the house.

Without further delay, Huo Weilou sent someone to report to the Yamen and also informed the Yamen of Cheng Yunzhi's blood test. Bo Ruoyou stayed behind to finish the meal with Huo Weilou. When Huo Qinghong came back, he saw Huo Weilou is accompanying Bo Ruoyou to look at the drawings of the garden in the mansion.

Huo Qinghong curled his lips, feeling his teeth aching at the sight. Huo Weilou raised his eyes and asked, "Are you very close to the Feng family?"

The last time Huo Qinghong used gold ointment, it was thanks to Feng Ye. Although he didn't mean it, Feng Ye was quite unprofessional, and he was a little wary in his heart.

Huo Qinghong rubbed his nose and said: "It's not that we are close, it's just that Taichang Temple has more dealings with the clan members, so naturally it also interacts with the Feng family more. The Feng family is also very charitable, and many clan members need to contribute. He is very cooperative with everything."

At this point, he glanced at the sky with some sadness and said: "That's all, I have to go back to my hometown. I have to leave the city to go to Xiangguo Temple tomorrow morning. I won't be free all day."

Bo Ruoyou rolled his eyes, "But for the Amitabha Buddha's Birthday Ceremony?"

Tomorrow is the seventeenth day, which is the birthday of Buddha. Huo Qinghong sighed with a bitter face, "Yes, your two highnesses are also going to this Dharma gathering. Your Majesty will also send people from the inner palace to present Buddha treasures." , but we also need Taichang Temple to come forward."

Bao Ruoyou had originally intended to go to this Dharma conference, but he suppressed his thoughts as he realized that there was still no clue to the case.
