Chapter 194 Ten Flowers 08
In the study room of Wu Zhaohou Mansion, Lu Ke said in a deep voice: "The last time the Seven Treasures Relic Pagoda appeared in public view in the palace was five years ago. At that time, the eminent monks from Xiangguo Temple entered the palace and saw nothing wrong. Come, and Duoshou left the palace and died three years ago, it means that the Seven Treasures Relic Pagoda was stolen between the 26th and 28th years of Jianhe."
"During the past two years, Duoshou was in charge of the Department of Treasures. His subordinates conducted strict inspections of all parts of the inner palace in the past few days. They concluded that the purchase route of the inner palace was originally adopted. The palace excludes official purchases. , and there are also eunuchs who take advantage of their official duties to carry out private goods, and take out the rewards they have received or the treasures they have obtained through crooked ways to resell them, especially the eunuchs and supervisors with certain positions."
After Lu Ke finished speaking, he continued: "And the eunuchs all have a fixed path for acting like this. The villain traced it back to three or five years ago, and got the name of the transfer from the palace in recent years from the imperial guards, and finally decided on it. Twelve people are suspected."
A roster was placed in front of Huo Weilou. He was looking at it with serious eyes. After reading the roster, he suddenly said: "Except for the people in the palace, Wang Qingfu can't be sent. Send someone to Qiangzhou. Take a trip to see who the Wang family in Qiangzhou has good relations with in the court, and then see who helped Wang Qingfu when he came to Beijing from Qiangzhou to serve as an official."
The phoenix eyes were narrow, and he added: "In addition, Yue Mingquan cannot be let go."
Lu Ke had followed Huo Weilou to Luozhou, and he also knew what happened in the Famen Temple case. He said: "My subordinates understand that Wang Qingfu promised him a promotion at the beginning, and then he joined the Zhongxi Army as expected. General, there must be something fishy here."
Yue Mingquan was originally escorted back to Beijing from Luozhou, and then the case at Famen Temple was finalized. He was punished for several crimes and was sentenced to beheaded by the Queen of Autumn. As early as the end of September, his soul had returned to the West. Although others were dead , but how he was promoted in the first place is still a mystery.
Lu Ke added: "Not long after we returned to Beijing, our people went to Zhenxi Army to check once, but found nothing."
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, "To achieve the position of General Xuanwu, it requires the help of many parties, and he himself has to strive for success. The role of Wang Qingfu and the people behind the scenes may be ignored by us. First of all, Screen the list of military generals whose names were written on the documents from that year, and then send someone to his hometown in Cangzhou to see if anything is found."
Lu Ke responded, and Huo Weilou asked again: "Is there any news about the people who went to Yizhou?"
Lu Ke shook his head, "Not yet. I'm afraid I just arrived in Yizhou in the past two days and started visiting. It will take a lot of effort after so many years."
Yizhou is located northwest of the capital, where Li Shen went after returning to secular life. Starting from the capital, it takes at least five days to enter Yizhou. It is freezing cold today, and the journey is even more difficult, but it is thin and secluded. Doubts about the case also made him worried, so he finally sent someone to visit Yizhou. The matter was related to Bo Ruoyou's heart disease. If he could relieve her of her inner demons, Huo Weilou would spare no effort.
Lu Ke left the Hou Mansion to run errands. Not long after, Ming Guilan and his son came to visit. Huo Weilou was moved and quickly asked someone to invite them and his son to the study to talk. It had been a few days since he visited Ming's house that day. Today, they were two The people who came together must have some insights into Bo Ruoyou's illness.
Ming Zhonghuai and Ming Guilan entered the door. After bowing and taking their seats, Ming Zhonghuai said bluntly: "Last time, the Marquis went to the mansion for the county lord's illness. After the minister heard about it, he wanted to come to the Hou's mansion to recover the next day. , but at that time Wei Chen hadn’t made up his mind yet, so he was a few days late.”
Huo Weilou's eyes were as bright as fire, "Is there a cure now?"
Ming Zhonghuai shook his head, and the light in Huo Weilou's eyes suddenly dimmed. Ming Zhonghuai continued: "Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess's illness has been treated by Wei Chen and Quanzi for many years. Now it is Cheng Yunzhi who has the acupuncture skills of the Cheng family. It is indeed more effective, but Weichen guesses that even the county leader himself cannot figure out the crux of the disease."
Huo Weilou nodded, "Mother's illness is different from Youyou's illness."
Ming Zhonghuai solemnly said: "That's it. Although Weichen has no cure for this disease, Weichen has devoted himself to doctors over the years and traveled abroad for a year. He has seen many strange diseases and miscellaneous diseases. "Sir, in the past few days, Weichen has been going through the medical notes collected and written by himself over the years, and he has some speculations in his mind."
Huo Weilou's heartstrings tightened slightly, "I would like to hear the details."
What he was going to say next seemed to be a bit unreasonable. Ming Zhonghuai calmed down and said: "Although they are both mad, Her Royal Highness the Princess has rarely been conscious in the past few years, and when she is unconscious, it is mostly memories. She is confused, or forgets something that makes her sad, or only remembers these, so her speech and behavior are out of order, and she sometimes appears crazy. However, the county master's illness is very common when she is awake, and if the illness occurs, there is obvious weirdness. It looks the same every time."
Ming Zhonghuai fell into memories, "Back then, I went to Bo's several times to treat the county lord. I remember that twice, the county lord was ill. What the Marquis said when he came to the mansion last time The minister remembers the incident about Longxu Su, which is to appease the county lord with Longxusu. Not only that, the county lord also likes to go to the young master’s bedroom of the Bo family, and even wears the young master’s clothes unconsciously.”
"Back then, there were many rumors about ghosts, which even the ministers found strange. However, in the past ten years, the ministers have also experienced a lot. Now that I think about it, it is not the ghosts who are causing trouble, but the county owner who was too frightened when he was young. She also knew that her younger brother had been killed, and out of guilt and fear, she gave birth to inner demons." Pursing his lips, Ming Zhonghuai said cautiously: "She had too many inner demons, so she thought of herself as her biological brother and pretended that her biological brother was still alive. Only then did my habits change——"
Although Huo Weilou was well-informed, he was also very shocked at this moment, "Do you think of yourself as your biological brother?"
Ming Zhonghuai was not very sure, and this kind of crazy and delusional theory seemed to be more mysterious than the theory of possession by ghosts and gods. He looked troubled, "I don't know if Mr. Hou finds this statement credible. It is common for crazy people in the world to fall into chaos, disorder and madness. However, the county leader does not look strange on weekdays, but when he gets sick, he suddenly changes into a different person. This It's because she was no longer her when the disease occurred, but someone else."
This statement reminded Huo Weilou that whether it was Mrs. Zheng or the eldest princess whom he had met in Qingzhou, they retained most of their old habits during their illness, but Bo Ruoyou had truly become a completely different person.
A strange chill climbed into Huo Weilou's heart. He didn't think that Bo Ruoyou's occasional illness was so fatal, but if her illness made her become another person, even if she was still alive in his arms, It also made him feel like he had lost her.
This made him panic for no reason.
After a long while, Huo Weilou spoke in a hoarse voice, "She is now acting like a child again. You already know the case back then. She was quite stimulated and hid in the cupboard like she did when she was a child. After she woke up, But I can’t remember these clearly. As for other appearances, I can’t see them yet because I’m not in the mansion where I lived when I was a child.”
Ming Zhonghuai sighed, "The county lord's illness was caused by that case. Now that the truth has emerged, the county lord naturally suffered greatly. However, the minister has been thinking about it for many days, but he has not been able to come up with any cure. , Fortunately at the moment, the county master’s illness did not last long.”
"To this day, she still can't remember what happened that night. She just dreams every night. The scene in the dream is somewhat like that night, and after the nightmare, it is very likely that she will get sick."
Ming Zhonghuai looked suspicious, and Ming Guilan, who had never interrupted, couldn't help but ask: "What did the county master dream about?"
Huo Weilou looked at Ming Guilan and felt something in his heart. Ming Guilan also escaped from the murderer. Not only that, the ruined temple where the murderer took Bao Ruoyou and his sister was also the place where Ming Guilan was kidnapped. .
"She dreamed about the sound of the Sanqing Bell, and also thought that she and her brother had been hiding somewhere, because when she was sick, she always liked to hide in the cupboard——"
Ming Guilan immediately said: "There is indeed a sound of bells... As for hiding..." He tried hard to recall and distinguish, and quickly said with a deep look: "There was a forest outside the ruined temple that day, and inside the temple, There are indeed places to hide people!"
"The doors and windows of the ruined temple are broken, and the Bodhisattva statue inside is also covered with dust. However, the high platform under the base of the Buddha statue is hollow and covered by a worn curtain. The beam on the left side of the Buddhist hall is broken and collapsed. Come down, and in the corner, there is... a dusty low cabinet, which seems to be the place where incense and candles were placed in the Buddhist temple in the past——"
Ming Guilan recalled it in great pain, but this scene had appeared in his nightmares countless times in the past ten years or so. This was true even for him, let alone Bo Ruoyou, who was younger at the time.
Huo Weilou was heartbroken when he heard, "She likes to hide when she is sick. She is afraid of people coming close to her. She is full of fear and fear. This is exactly what she looks like when she is kidnapped by a gangster. However, Li Shen has already confessed and did not mention their sister. Where is my brother hiding?"
This made Ming Guilan hesitate, and he said with a gloomy face: "Maybe he can't remember clearly, or maybe they hid first, but later found that hiding was better than running away, because the hollow place under the high platform was not It's easy to hide. When the murderer finds out that the person is missing, his first reaction is to look under the table. If he wants to hide, the low cabinet in the corner may be the best choice. The murderer is not found under the high table, so he will probably find him immediately. If they go out to chase people, if they are smarter, they are more likely to run away at this time, or maybe their hiding place is the low cabinet, but they are discovered later when they escape."
The murderer is an adult man, and the Bo Ruoyou siblings are only four or five years old. Even if the murderer first let them run away with a stick of incense, he was able to catch up with them in the end. The age disparity was doomed for the two siblings. People are doomed.
Huo Weilou fell into deep thought. Until Ming Guilan and his son said goodbye, he could not fully accept such remarks. Just when he was sitting in the study to the point where Eunuch Fu was a little worried, the attendant outside told Bo Ruoyou coming!
Eunuch Fu was overjoyed and hurriedly welcomed Bo Ruoyou out. As soon as he saw Bo Ruoyou, he said: "Youyou, you are here. The Marquis has been doing something strange recently. Please go in and see him."
Bo Ruoyou also had something on his mind, and was quite surprised when he heard this, "It's because he encountered trouble in the court"
Eunuch Fu shook his head, "Just now Mr. Ming and Ming Yuan were visiting. The Marquis didn't let our family listen to what they said. After they left, the Marquis sat alone in the study, without reading the official documents. He just sat there. It’s been half an hour.”
Bo Ruoyou asked first, "But what's wrong with the eldest princess?"
Eunuch Fu denied it again, and Bo Ruoyou's eyes dimmed slightly, as if she understood something. She comforted Eunuch Fu and went straight to the study to see Huo Weilou.
When he heard the footsteps, Huo Weilou felt a trace of impatience between his brows. He was about to say something lowly, but he realized something was wrong in his heart. He turned his eyes and met Bo Ruo's quiet and clear eyes. .
In an instant, the empty and lifeless eyes of Ri Bo Ruoyou appeared in his mind for a moment. His heart seemed to have been cut by a sharp knife, and he hurriedly stood up and faced Bo Ruoyou.
Bao Ruoyou felt that he was walking fast, and before he could react, he was already being held tightly in his arms. Not to mention, his lips soon fell.
Her face was slightly red, her breathing was turbulent, her lips that had been rubbed hard by him were bright red and bright, her beautiful eyes were misty, and she seemed to be quite confused about his situation. Huo Weilou swallowed with difficulty. , raised his hand and caressed the corner of her lips, "I was thinking about you, so you came, and I couldn't hold it in anymore."
Bo Ruoyou glanced at him, "What did Ming Yuan Zheng and Mr. Ming say?"
Huo Weilou was a little surprised, and Bo Ruoyou held his hand, "Eunuch Fu said that something was wrong with you after they left. I asked if there was something wrong with the eldest princess. I thought, if they come, there will always be something wrong with you." It’s because of the doctor’s business, and there’s no one else but me who can make you so concerned and sick.”
When she spoke to the end, there was a smile on her lips and her tone was even more determined. Huo Weilou felt his throat was sore, but Bo Ruoyou didn't rush her and just looked at him longingly, waiting for him to be honest with him.
"I visited the Ming Palace earlier, and the Ming Palace treated you in the early years, and he still remembers some strange symptoms. When he came today, he didn't think of a cure. He just thought that your illness was ordinary. People are different."
He stopped, but Bo Ruoyou still looked at him trustingly, which forced him to continue, "He said that your inner demons were so strong that when you got sick, you became a different person."
The brilliance in Bo Ruoyou's eyes dimmed, as if a firefly candle had burned out the oil and was about to go out. Huo Weilou said hurriedly: "This is a shocking statement. You don't have to believe it. You are who you are. How could you change?" Someone?"
Huo Weilou wanted to try his best to comfort her, but Bo Ruoyou's eyes only dimmed briefly. Soon, she took a deep breath, forced herself to be calmer than Huo Weilou, and said to him: "Mingyuan Zheng never said anything wrong. ."
