Chapter 87 Sihexiang 27
When Huo Weilou heard this question, he said calmly: "I changed it."
Bo Ruoyou was stunned when he heard this, "What?"
She was shocked. She was even more shocked and angry when she saw Huo Wei's natural expression on the floor. The glow crept onto her cheeks. She couldn't help but hug the quilt and lean in, looking at him angrily.
Huo Weilou then realized something was wrong, and he hurriedly said: "I didn't see anything."
Bao Ruoyou was ashamed and angry, so Huo Weilou said, "I'm serious about what I said. I brought you back last night. You were soaked in the rain for a long time and you were seriously injured. You were also extremely cold. Mr. Fu prepared hot water. , I put you in the bathtub, but that was not the way to go. There were no women in the house at that time, and your life or death was uncertain. How could I have so many worries? And besides me, who else could change your clothes? ?"
Bo Ruoyou's face turned red. Although she knew there was nothing she could do, she was still quite uncomfortable. She had never even thought about getting married, let alone being someone close to Huo Weilou. How could he be so careless? Defense between men and women?
Seeing her like this, Huo Weilou knew that she would still find it difficult to accept it for a while, so he said kindly: "I took off your robe, knowing that you definitely didn't want me to see it, so I gave it to you. You covered yourself with clothes and then changed your clothes. I really didn’t see anything.”
Bao Ruoyou couldn't think about what he said at all, she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Even though the situation is urgent, but... but the Marquis doesn't realize that it is too rude, I... I am a woman... ”
Huo Weilou was puzzled, "Did I think you were a man?"
Bao Ruoyou became even more anxious, "I am a woman and the Marquis is a man. It is no longer as simple as giving and receiving privately, and the Marquis's words now mean that this matter is reasonable. As it should be, doesn’t the Marquis care about my reputation?”
Her voice was still hoarse, and coupled with the urgency, she seemed even more aggrieved when she said this. Huo Weilou just realized what he was saying. He asked, "How come I don't care about your reputation?" You know it and I know it. At most, Eunuch Fu knows it, and no one will tell the world about it."
Hearing that Eunuch Fu also knew about this, Bo Ruoyou just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, "However, Mr. Marquis and I are not related, but we have violated the rules like this. Even if others don't know, the people How can a woman live with herself?"
"Not relatives or friends?" Huo Weilou stared.
Bao Ruoyou was forced by his look and spoke in a low voice, but still said: "The Marquis is not my blood relative. Just because of this, the Marquis cannot do it. When the Marquis did this, he never thought about the differences between men and women. Beware, I will get married in the future..."
Huo Weilou frowned upon hearing this, "You want to get married? Who do you want to marry?"
Bao Ruoyou felt that he had no reason to explain, and he felt more and more aggrieved in his heart. Being forced by him in this way, a sense of awe arose spontaneously. For a moment, he just pursed his thin lips and remained silent, which made it even more heartbreaking to see him.
Huo Weilou looked at her for a few seconds, but finally couldn't bear to scare her, so he said solemnly: "I understand what you said about taking into account that you are a woman. Since I did this, I made a plan. If I didn't weigh it in my heart, I wouldn't I may do this to you, but I’m not really a disciple.”
Seeing the clear annoyance in Bo Ruoyou's eyes, he simply said clearly, "I am not your blood relative, but if I marry you as my wife, what does changing my clothes mean?"
Bao Ruoyou's heart jumped violently, and his eyes suddenly opened wide, "Master Hou——"
Huo Weilou was not surprised by her shock, "I have a well-organized way of doing things. You should know that I also care about your reputation. But if you and I get married in the future, wouldn't this be unusual?"
Bo Ruoyou's heart beat like a drum. Seeing that Huo Weilou didn't look like he was joking, he was very surprised that he had even thought of marrying her!
"But...but Mr. Hou, when did I say that I would marry...you?"
She felt embarrassed and annoyed just saying these four words, but Huo Weilou said it easily. Huo Weilou frowned when he heard this, "You mean... you don't want to?"
His phoenix eyes sank slightly, looking intently at Bo Ruoyou.
Bo Ruoyou felt that his eyes were filled with confusion, "I...I never thought about what would happen with the Marquis..."
"Then start thinking about it now." The bad feeling when he entered the door became a reality. He looked at Bo Ruoyou in confusion, "Do you know how many people want to be the wife of Wu Zhaohou? But you have been following me for many days. , but I have never had this thought. Now I will give you a stick of incense, think about it."
Bao Ruoyou forced himself to calm down, and when he thought about what he said, he smiled bitterly, "Master Marquis, yes, many people want to be your wife, but I am not among these many people. You asked me Now that I think about it, I...I can't think of it."
Huo Weilou frowned when he heard this, "Do you have no self in your heart?"
Bo Ruoyou could only feel his words were hesitant, "I...I don't know, Lord Marquis, you are respected by thousands of people, naturally including me. But when you talk about marriage, you have a high position and have nothing to do with me." The difference between clouds and mud, don't mention the time of a stick of incense. If you give me an hour or a month, I still can't understand. Marriage is not a child's play. How long have you known a common girl?"
Huo Weilou thought about Bo Ruoyou's words carefully. He was not impatient and reckless, and he didn't do anything to her when he hesitated in his heart. But when he saw her life hanging by a thread last night, he felt that he said "bear it for a while" It will be over if you endure it" is a false statement.
Since he couldn't get through it with her, he would keep the person by his side. Because of this thought, he could not tolerate things being sloppy and out of his control. But this matter was not a military operation after all. He had to do what he ordered. It is obviously impossible to go out and do it.
There was some sense of frustration in his heart. This feeling was experienced when he was young and failed to master the kung fu. Obviously, now he also had some problems with the person in front of him. Although this discovery made him It's a bit unpleasant, but it's just like conquering those difficult and obscure swords, guns, swords and halberds. As long as you master the method, you will always be perfect.
His thoughts were whirling and he was planning something on his own, but he didn't show it on his face. Soon he said in a reasonable manner: "It's not like I can't give you an hour and a month. If you don't understand, I also expected it. I won't force you." You."
Bo Ruoyou felt slightly relieved, and Huo Weilou said seriously: "As for the difference between cloud and mud you mentioned, it is not important. You only need to figure out whether you have me in your heart, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
Bo Ruoyou's face grew hot when she heard this, and she stopped arguing with him. Since someone like him put his words clearly in front of her, she had nowhere to retreat, not to mention she didn't have that kind of temperament.
She said honestly: "Master Hou tells me to think about it, so I will think about it."
Huo Weilou finally felt relieved. He raised his hand to touch Bo Ruoyou's forehead. Bo Ruoyou shrank her neck and tried to hide, but when she touched the injured area, she let out a "hiss" in pain. Huo Weilou couldn't help but say something with his hand. I followed him, feeling distressed and helpless for a moment, "What are you hiding from?"
His tone was gentle. Bo Ruoyou looked at him for a moment and found that Huo Weilou treated her with more concern and less pressure. Nothing else had changed much. She forced herself to calm down and saw Huo Weilou. The green stubble on the mandible has not gone away, and there is also a light green color under the eyes, so he asked: "Master Hou, has never stopped?"
Huo Weilou said "Hmm", "You couldn't stop crying last night. I was afraid that you would hurt yourself, so I didn't let you go, and I didn't even have time to spare."
Bo Ruoyou knew that he was always too busy to get out of his way on weekdays, and that he stayed up last night because he was saving her, so he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and said without hesitation, "Master Marquis, you don't have to We’re here, let’s go and have a rest.”
Huo Weilou shook his head, "I'm not worried."
Bao Ruoyou felt a little warm in his heart, and said: "I am here, why don't you worry, Mr. Hou? Mr. Hou is already busy. If he has errands later, he won't have time to rest."
As soon as Bao Ruoyou finished speaking, Eunuch Fu's voice sounded outside, "Master Hou, Ning Xiao is here——"
Huo Weilou frowned, looked at her and said, "I told you to say it, you don't want me to be here?"
She was indeed uncomfortable staying with him now, but as soon as she said this, she could only shake her head quickly. Huo Weilou sighed and decided to go out to see Ning Xiao.
As soon as he left, Eunuch Fu came in with two maids. He smiled and said to Bo Ruoyou: "They are called Jingmo and Wudi. They were transferred from the princess's mansion last night. You can rest assured. If you are inconvenienced these two days, Youyou, please ask them to take care of you."
Bo Ruoyou's face was slightly red, "Thank you so much, father-in-law. It's really too much work for me to stay in the Hou Mansion."
Gonggong Fu ordered Jingmo and Wuyi to retreat first, then sat beside her couch and said, "It's not like we have to work hard to mobilize people. According to the Marquis's wishes, I'm afraid we have to work harder to mobilize people. These are nothing. , It’s just that Youyou has suffered a lot this time, which is really heartbreaking, and the Marquis is even more distressed.”
Eunuch Fu always treated her like an elder. When Bo Ruoyou heard this, he understood that he had already known Huo Weilou's thoughts, and he felt even more embarrassed.
Eunuch Fu then smiled and said, "Does Mr. Hou have a weird temper?"
Bo Ruoyou was slightly stunned, and Eunuch Fu sighed, "Master Hou, what kind of temper he has on official business, and what kind of temper he has on ordinary days. If he is rude in any way, just reject him. He can see into people's hearts, but everyone in the world can guess their hearts, but he may not be able to see through you, so if you don't like it, just make it clear that you don't like him."
Bo Ruoyou's face became even redder, and Eunuch Fu said kindly: "It has been very difficult for Mr. Hou these years, and I thought it was hard for him to think about anything in his life, so now, I am the first to be happy. Youyou, it’s okay if you don’t want to deal with him right now. Mr. Marquis has suffered all kinds of hardships, but he has never suffered in this matter of men and women, so you’d better try to rub him off.”
Bo Ruoyou was so shy that his face was as hot as a fire. Eunuch Fu said with a smile: "Don't feel uncomfortable. Although the Marquis seems to be aloof and has everything, if he finds someone who doesn't know what he wants in the future, then he will He has been truly lonely for half his life. Only by finding someone he likes can he really have someone to accompany him, so you don’t know how happy I am."
Bao Ruoyou was a little stunned, but Eunuch Fu smiled, "Okay, I have to go to the palace now. The Marquis ordered me to go to the palace to find some good medicine in the inner treasury, so as not to leave scars on your wounds. , just rest in peace."
Eunuch Fu went out and the room became quiet. Only then could Bao Ruoyou understand what happened when he woke up today.
What Eunuch Fu said made her feel a little softer towards Huo Weilou, and she also wanted to understand how this man acted. Although she had never thought about having any connection with Huo Weilou, now Huo Weilou's words were so clear, It would be impossible for her to escape and retreat.
She stared at the tent ceiling with her eyes open, thinking about Huo Weilou's words and how she felt about Huo Weilou.
Everyone in the world admires Qiang, and so does she. He has protected her and saved him many times. One person is inferior to ten thousand people, but he has always been clean and self-sufficient, diligent and serious, and his subordinates are also benevolent. Such diligence and self-cultivation are powerful. It is too easy for a person who is rich and powerful to make a woman admire him. But love in the world is easy to fall in love with but hard to find in the long term, let alone get married.
She was willing to handle no matter how difficult a case he ordered her to do, but if he asked her to marry him, she would have to think twice before doing it. What's more, people in the world are delicate and complicated. How would she know about Huo Weilou? How long can this heart last? Marriage was really simple from what he said, but due to the difference in status and status, how could the marriage be so simple?
Bao Ruoyou sighed, with mixed feelings in his heart. In just a moment, he thought about all the things he had never thought about in his entire life. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Huo Weilou had left. It had been a long time, and Ning Xiao's visit to the government was probably to report Han Sheng's case. Although she suffered this difficulty, she still doesn't know why Han Sheng is so ruthless and cruel.
Bao Ruoyou called for someone, and soon Jingmo and Wuyi came in. They were both seventeen or eighteen years old, beautiful in appearance, and looked quite steady and steady. However, according to what Bo Ruoyou wanted to say, When they went to see what Deputy Commander Ning and Huo Weilou were talking about, they both looked at each other in fear.
"Girl, the slaves don't dare to go." Jing Mo said with a bitter face.
Wu Yi thought for a while and said: "The rules of the Marquis are that female family members are not allowed to enter the Marquis' mansion. Now that the slaves have come to the Marquis' mansion, they abide by the rules everywhere. The slaves are afraid..."
Bo Ruoyou reacted later and felt that it was difficult for them, "I didn't think carefully, so I won't go." Seeing the two of them standing respectfully in front of him, Bo Ruoyou smiled bitterly and said: "I am not your master, you don't have to be like this. I will leave the mansion in two days, and then you will return to the princess's mansion. Thank you for your hard work these two days."
Seeing her kind tone, the two people in Beijing and Mo realized that she was not just pretending. They said "I don't dare", but they began to look at her curiously. Bao Ruoyou was a little frightened by the two of them, and smiled bitterly. : "What's wrong? Is there a flower on my face?"
The two people in Beijing and Mo looked at each other. Wu Yi was a bold one and could not help but whisper: "No, girl, this is the first time that the slaves have seen a woman beside the Marquis. The slaves were still suspicious when they came last night. But I didn't expect that the Marquis has changed his temper now. You said that you are no longer the master of the slaves, but in the eyes of the slaves, you are already."
Bo Ruoyou felt a little guilty when he heard this, and Jingmo also followed suit: "That's true. Whatever the girl's instructions are, the slaves will definitely do well."
Bao Ruoyou took a breath and didn't know how to argue. At this time, Huo Weilou strode in from the outside. Jingmo and Wuwei were startled, and they immediately took three steps back and stood respectfully. Arrived aside.
Huo Weilou frowned when he saw the two of them when he entered the door. Bo Ruoyou said hurriedly: "I asked them to come in..."
Huo Weilou's face relaxed, and his eyes were tense, "What's wrong? But why do you feel so bad?"
Bao Ruoyou shook his head and said to the two of them, "I have nothing to do here. You can go out."
The two of them immediately retreated as if they had received amnesty.
Huo Weilou was sitting beside her bed. Before he could speak, he heard Bo Ruoyou ask: "Did Deputy Commander Ning come to talk about Han Sheng's case?"
Huo Weilou was not surprised when she asked, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Yes, the person passed out last night, and some were found out during the trial today. This person has been dressing up like a woman since she was a child. Therefore, she is criticized in the clan. He His parents did not accept this, but his brother treated him better. Later, his parents passed away one after another, and the tribe wanted to drive the two brothers away. To this end, someone set a fire in their home, and the fire He was burned, and there was a cinnabar mole on his body."
Bo Ruoyou was shocked when he heard this, "Is that why he later focused on women with cinnabar moles?"
Huo Weilou nodded, "Yes, after the arson, he used some methods to retaliate against the tribesmen, causing a big fuss and alerting the government. The brothers could not stay in Chuzhou any longer, and later moved around to the capital. The brothers They all have some talent in writing and calligraphy, especially his brother, and he is good at carving."
"Have the human skins he skinned been found?"
"Found it." Huo Weilou said in a low voice, "In the baggage he took with him when he escaped, he used wax tanning method, and three human skins were tanned into one thin skin. , looks like thin silk. When his brother confessed that night, he said that he wanted to paint on human skin. Ning Xiao saw that the tanned human skin could indeed be used for painting."
Although Bao Ruoyou didn't see it with her own eyes, she had seen many corpses, and she had even seen some corpses with waxy skin as dry as leather. Naturally, she could imagine it, and she felt a chill in her heart. "Then the case may be closed now?"
Huo Weilou shook his head, "There are still some details that I haven't asked clearly. I have to send someone to Chuzhou to see if what he said is true. It will be at least half a month. I will just keep him in prison under supervision for the next few days." ."
Bo Ruoyou responded, "I am a man, but I have thought of myself as a woman since I was a child. It is really strange."
Huo Weilou should be saying, "He regards himself as a woman, but he cannot be a real woman. The criticism from others makes him even more humiliated. Over time, his mind has become different. In his early years, he gave birth to some harmful things. Thoughts, and the habit of pretending to be a woman to spy on people, but they were moving around at that time and did not settle down anywhere. He could not find a good opportunity. Now that he has settled down in the capital, his thoughts became more and more agitated. Later, in Huafang When I saw that both Xu Wanshu and Xu Wanshu had cinnabar moles on their bodies, I became even more unable to hold back. I followed them for many days and finally found an opportunity to strike. Wei Ling was also in trouble, and Lu Wenhe was also considered one of the accomplices."
At this point, Huo Weilou thought that Bo Ruoyou had almost been poisoned, and his eyes became darker. He looked at Bo Ruoyou and asked slowly: "You know you also have cinnabar moles on your body, so you are not afraid. ?"
Bao Ruoyou knew that he couldn't hide this matter, and he didn't feel any difference even if he asked, "I don't like red dresses, and no one else knew about the cinnabar mole on my body. At that time, I felt a little chill in my heart. , but I won’t be afraid of it.”
Huo Weilou sighed, "I was indeed at fault for your accident."
Bo Ruoyou said hurriedly: "How could it be possible? No one expected that the murderer had the guts to climb over the wall and enter my home."
Huo Weilou shook his head, "The capital is no different from other places. The government here is strict under the emperor's feet. Such a murderer dares to commit crimes one after another, so he is an even more vicious and fearless person. You are a widower, and you will follow the government on errands. It’s hard not to be conspicuous. The murderer saw you the first time you went to the Yuxi River for autopsy. In addition, he is already jealous of normal women, so he naturally hates you even more."
Bo Ruoyou's spine felt slightly chilly. She went to the Yuxi River for an autopsy for the first time. At that time, she did feel like she was being spied on, but she never expected that the murderer was really there at that time. !
Seeing the guilt in his eyes, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly comforted, "This is what I asked for myself, and it has nothing to do with the Marquis. Besides, I have already thought of such a situation. It doesn't matter. I will be more cautious in the future. Yes."
Huo Weilou suddenly looked solemn and said, "Why don't you stop working as an errand at the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen?"
Bo Ruoyou was shocked when he heard this, "Is it possible that the Marquis doesn't want me to commit suicide?"
Huo Weilou hesitated, "Not really."
Bo Ruoyou was agitated when he heard the word "daoye". He had some thoughts like this!
She frowned, and Huo Weilou continued: "If you are not on business in Jingzhao Mansion, there are other cases. Every year, unsolved cases are transferred to the Ministry of Punishment and the Department of Direct Envoys. At that time, I will have someone **** you there. Do you want to The autopsy will not affect you, but if you are in the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, it will be difficult for those cases to be taken over by the direct commission, and not everything can be taken care of by me."
Bao Ruoyou's scalp felt numb for a while. She gritted her teeth and said resolutely: "No."
Huo Weilou frowned and Bo Ruoyou said: "Master Hou, that's all. I will never agree here. If Master Hou has orders, I will be willing to go to the case no matter where it is, but once The Marquis has many things under his jurisdiction, not just prisons. Secondly, if that were the case, wouldn't I be a special case? The Marquis must also be criticized. Thirdly, the injustices of major and tragic cases are injustices, but the injustices of ordinary murder cases Is injustice not injustice? I don’t want to be like this, please don’t force me, Lord Marquis."
She finished speaking in one breath, feeling uneasy in her heart. There was stubbornness in her eyes, but she was also a little timid. She was afraid that Huo Weilou would not change his mind. If he insisted on using such tough methods, there was no need to do anything else. He only had to tell Sun Zhao If she said that, Sun Zhao would never dare to use her again.
However, her eyes did not move, and she still looked directly at Huo Weilou.
Huo Weilou met her eyes for a moment, and suddenly smiled. Smiling, he reached out to grab her hand under the brocade quilt. Unprepared, she was held tightly by him, and he laughed inexplicably. .
She said angrily: "Master Hou, why are you laughing? I am not joking with Mr. Hou."
Huo Weilou finished laughing, and his face returned to a somewhat serious expression, but his tone was soft when he spoke, "I know you are not joking, and I have guessed that you don't want to, but I didn't expect that your words were so decisive and you never let me Disappointed."
Bo Ruoyou felt relieved when he heard that. Seeing some admiration in his eyes, his voice was inexplicably lowered, "I can rely on the Marquis next to me, but here, the daughter of the people will never let the Marquis go." It’s at the mercy of others.”
Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Everything else depends on me?"
How dare she answer this, so she pulled up the brocade quilt to cover herself, leaving only a pair of eyes looking at him cautiously. Seeing that she was obviously on guard, Huo Weilou laughed for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, right now, I won't do anything to you."
Bo Ruoyou's neck turned red for a moment.
