The Delicate Lady Coroner

Halfway through, Bo Ruoyou suddenly woke up from the nightmare, panting quickly, her heart still beating wildly, but she couldn’t remember the scene in her dream, she felt anxious, extremely anxious, as if she was urging someone to worry about whom. .

Wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead, Bo Ruo’s mouth was dry, and he lifted the curtain and got up. At a glance, he saw a shadow on the window lattice, and Bo Ruo jumped in surprise, “Who is outside?!”

The shadow moved and came towards the door, and soon heard Huo Weilou’s voice, “It’s me.”

Bo Ruoyou suspected that she was dreaming. She stayed for a while, and hurriedly got up and changed her clothes to open the door. As soon as the door opened, the snow flocked outside, the shoulders of Huo Wei Building were covered with frost and snow, and everyone was frozen, but his eyebrows were frozen. There is worry surging at the bottom of the gentle, gloomy pupils.

“Master Hou?!” Bo Ruoyou hurriedly pulled the person in.

“It’s still dark, why did Lord Hou come?” Bo Ruoyou took off his wet cloak, and asked as he hung it on the screen, “What happened?”

Huo Weilou was full of coldness. He rubbed his hands first, and waited for the earth dragon to dissipate the cold from him, before he stepped forward and said, “Feng Qin has recruited.”

Bo Ruoyou’s eyes were slightly bright, but he looked out of the window and still felt strange, “Is this why Lord Hou came so early?”

“Back when you and Lan Zhou were taken away, you let Lan Zhou hide in a cabinet, trying to lead Feng Qin away and let Lan Zhou escape. But who knows that Lan Zhou was too courageous to run. Feng Qin chased you for a while and was caught by you. Stabbing, seeing that you were only one person, the reaction was done, and he returned to the ruined temple. Only in this way, Lan Zhou was taken away. Later, you were too frightened by the rain, fell seriously ill, and you forgot about it.”

Huo Weilou continued: “Youyou, you never dropped Lan Zhou. You are very smart. You took the risk to lead Feng Qin away. If Feng Qin’s target is not Lan Zhou, you will be the one who had the trouble.”

Bo Ruoyou was stunned. She remembered what she had seen in the fake ruined temple outside the city. At that time, she thought, that the cabinet was so cramped that it was impossible for both of them to hide in…

“Li Shen’s confession is Professor Feng Qin, he is murderous.”

Huo Weilou’s neat nonsense is not there. He thought, tell Bo Ruoyou early, and she will be relieved from the shame of “throwing down the younger brother” sooner.

Bo Ruoyou moved her lips, but she didn’t know what to say. She only felt depressed in her heart. She didn’t seem to relax much. The truth couldn’t change her brother’s death, and she still couldn’t remember that night.

The shock in her eyes moved Huo Weilou. He raised his hand and took her into his arms.

Bo Ruoyou blinked, wrapped his waist around him, and slowly buried his cheeks on his chest. It turned out that back then, she didn’t abandon her brother because of fear. She also wanted to seek a chance for her brother.

“Even if Feng Qin knows that you have forgotten the old things, if you work in the yamen, you are most likely to re-examine the case of the year. In addition, if you get better, you may think of it again someday. Therefore, he wants to stimulate you. If you are as sick as you were when you were young, he can sit back and relax.”

Huo Wei said while stroking her hair, feeling distressed for her suffering over the past month.

Bo Ruoyou slowly realized that the tip of his nose was sour. When he raised his eyes, his eyes were covered with moisture, “Why did Feng Qin do evil?”

Huo Weilou took her hand to the seat and told about the chaos in Feng Qin’s childhood home, and finally said: “He has a heart demon, and wants to practice sorcery, and wants to beat Feng Yuan to be the true celestial master. It’s amazing.”

“It turns out that this was his motive for the murder.”

The truth is always cruel and pale. Feng Qin has a cultivating father who has witnessed his mother being tortured to death. It is indeed miserable, but what about it, there are countless people in the world who are more miserable than him.

Thinking of her younger brother’s death in the hands of such a person, Bo Ruoyou’s heart ache for a while. People who practice sorcery have an unusual mind. When they are fierce, they don’t recognize their relatives. He almost died in Feng Qin’s hands.

“What about the others? Does he explain clearly?”

Huo Weilou shook his head, “Revealing the old stories of his father and mother, he was a little unconscious. When I left the prison, I was asking Luke to call for an imperial doctor. It would take some time for a thorough interrogation to be clear.”

Bo Ruoyou nodded and showed a look of stunnedness. The case was not fully explained, but as Bo Lanzhou’s only relative in the world and the victim of that night, what she wanted to know the most was already clear. The murderer was Feng Qin. She Never left his brother.

After a while, she asked, “Feng Qin is condemned to be a capital offense, right?”

“Yes.” Huo Weilou shook her hand, “It is impossible to atone for his sins in a million deaths.”

Bo Ruoyou’s heart becomes sore again, the murderer will punish, but the deceased will not survive, and the pain caused by this will not be healed after all. She can only ask for a result, but even if it is only a result, it is extremely important.

Bo Ruo didn’t say a word for a while, Huo Weilou didn’t say anything immediately. After a moment of silence, he hugged her to his knees, “It’s going to be the New Year, go to Fengming Mountain another day and tell them about it. They know it well. Can be relieved.”

Bo Ruoyou meets his eyes, his eyes are full of tenderness, and he can see that he wants to give her more comfort, but he is not a good talker, he is more willing to coax a child than fancy speech Usually hold her in his arms.

Bo Ruoyou took a deep breath and exhaled all the pain in the bottom of her heart. She clung to the shoulders of Huo Weilou, “Okay, Master Hou wants to accompany me.”

Huo Weilou said with a thin smile: “Naturally.”

In the evening of winter day, the window is still dark, the wind and snow are still roaring, thin but peaceful, but she is more at ease. Suddenly, she wonders: “There is no light outside, Liang Shudang is still resting, who will open it for Lord Hou? Door?”

Huo Weilou hesitated for a moment.

Because he came in over the wall.

The absurd things that I didn’t do when I was a teenager, I did it today.

Bo Ruoyou was so clever. She looked at the cloak hanging on the screen in the distance, and keenly remembered seeing a star of mud on the side of the cloak. If you let your foster father know–“

Huo Weilou didn’t give her a chance to go on. He kissed her softly, tightly tied, and the big palm was on her waist, making her stick closer to him. He didn’t have any desires, and he tried to kiss her in a simple way. Her cheeks were blushing, and she separated for a moment, and then whispered: “I want to tell you earlier, I don’t want to delay a moment…”

Bo Ruoyou smiled, “I know.”

She encircled Huo Weilou’s neck, raised her head, and took the initiative to pass.

Huo Wei Building did not stay until dawn. After he left, Bo Ruo looked at the paper boat on the book case and sat for a while. When the sky was bright, Cheng Yunzhi and they got up, she went to the room and informed the result of the case.

…

Although he had hired an imperial doctor, Feng Qin’s mind was still on the verge of collapse. Huo Weilou returned to the jail, and others were still talking nonsense. Huo Weilou was not in a hurry, and ordered the imperial doctor to give him heavy medicine to make Feng Qin sober.

It took two days to complete the trial before and after Feng Qin’s kidnapping of Ming Guilan and the murder of five boys including Bo Lanzhou. The murder case of instigating Li Shen to murder Wen Jin was also revealed.

The case was presided over by the Zhishi Si. Jingzhaoyiyamen threatened to follow the case, and because of its parallel with the Fobao case, it was also considered to have a lot of involvement. Make Huo Wei Building a strict investigation.

In order to find out all the joints, in addition to Feng Qin’s testimony, we must also find personal evidence as much as possible. Huo Weilou did not rush to finalize the case, and only let Zhishi and Jing Zhaoyi continue to sort out clues and find evidence. The case here spread like wildfire. No one in the capital family could have imagined that the loyal uncle who was devoted to cultivating the faith would kill his wife and son, and was still a murderer who conspired to murder children!

Although Emperor Jianhe had said that he did not want to cause rumors to grow, Huo Weilou had no reaction when he heard the news. The truth is so, why can’t it be revealed to the world?

When there was a lot of publicity, Ming Zhonghuai and his son entered the Hou Mansion. It was the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The main facts of the case had been investigated. As one of the victims, they naturally wanted to understand the case.

Huo Weilou informed the two of Feng Qin’s motives for the murder, and why he chose Ming Guilan was exactly what it was speculated earlier. Ever since Feng Qin wanted to find a child with auspicious life in Sanyang, his first goal was the family of acquaintances. Among them, through the usual social interactions and inquiries without leaving a trace, he is of noble origin, and those who have better friendships will not be guarded. If there is something that can’t be found, he will start with the subordinate. The birth date comes.

Lin Huai and Sun Zhao were also there on this day, and everyone gathered together. Sun Zhao said, “I have interrogated the subordinates of Bo’s House these days. Feng Yuan was really obsessed with cultivating. She was full of wounds, and she was always beaten and scolded at Feng Qin and went to the dark room. Feng Qin’s distorted character began to develop from then on.”

Lin Huai, as the servant of the criminal ministry, is now sure of the murderer, and he is quite sighing, “Feng Yuan was still an official in the bureaucratic ministry, and he was considered to be a man of manners when he looked on his face, but he did not expect him to practice sorcery and still be in the mansion. Treat your wife and children like this.”

Ming’s family was also considered familiar with Feng’s family earlier. Coupled with the disability of Ming Guilan’s murder, Ming Zhonghuai was naturally even more annoyed. When asked when the verdict could be finalized, Huo Weilou said: “It’s going to be a year later. Personal testimony, Feng Ye is a bit crazy now, he can’t explain many details, so he can only ask the direct secretary and the yamen to investigate, and also tell the relatives of the murdered children.”

Ming Zhonghuai also knew that the Secretary had his own charter for handling the case, and now that the murderer found out, it was his long-cherished wish. It was just Ming Guilan’s legs, which is bound to be their lifetime regret. It can be imagined that the children who were murdered have long been murdered. Turned into a pile of bones, he felt that it was a blessing in misfortune that Guiming was still alive.

When leaving the house, Lin Huai asked, “Is that kid okay?”

When asked about Bo Ruoyou, Huo Weilou’s eyes softened, “She was already tenacious. Now that the truth of the case is clear, she can be regarded as letting go of her mind, but thinking of her brother’s death, she is always unavoidable.”

Lin Huai sighed, “Seeing that the New Year is about to come, we will wait for our family to visit them again after the new year.”

Huo Weilou didn’t say anything. The next morning, he rushed to Cheng’s house early to accompany Bo Ruoyou to pay homage to his parents and Bo Lanzhou outside the city. Cheng Yunzhi was caught in the wind and did not follow.

On the carriage, Huo Weilou told Bo Ruoyou about the progress of Xinde, “When Feng Qin was sober, everything that could be explained was given. According to what he said, he did find a stable woman who delivered the baby to a wealthy family in Beijing. His wife has not yet been traced. He has never committed a crime in his own village. He also set up a house in Baijia Village. The case in the city was also built in the demolished Pingning Fang, which is equivalent to what he told Li Shen at the beginning. Most of the confession is true.”

The most wonderful lie is usually hidden in the truth, and Li Shen is the most guilty of the crime, and he has to go through rigorous investigation and questioning by the yamen. Naturally, he has to be true and false. When Bo Ruoyou thought of this, he asked: “Then how did he know Li? Gentle?”

“It’s a long story here. The Feiyun Temple and the Taoist Temple outside the city are both familiar with the Bofu. This should also start with Feng Yuan. He was really practicing Taoism for a while before he became a demon. It is common for the elders to preach the Taoist scriptures and doctrines. Later, the idea of ​​becoming a celestial master and holy lord gradually came into being. At that time, he had an official position and he was reluctant to leave it behind. In addition, he knew that what he was cultivating was an evil that could not be on the stage. Feng Qin was taken by him since he was a child, and he was considered his first apprentice.”

“At that time, Feng Qin was young and feared his father. He was naturally very obedient. He followed Feng Yuan to Taoist temples outside the city and became familiar with the Taoist leaders. Feng Yuan wanted to gather the great achievements of the Buddha and God. Even witchcraft and shamanism have been involved, Feng Qin is also fascinated by these things, and Li Shen’s misbehavior has also investigated evil ways in Feiyun Temple.”

“When Feng Qin was enshrining incense in Feiyun Temple 16 or 7 years ago, he accidentally discovered that Li Shen was reading Taoist banned books. There were some evil practices in the banned books. He knew that Li Shen was not an upright Taoist, so he soon Win over him.”

At this point, Huo Weilou’s voice became slightly cold, “There are not many people who practice sorcery. Feng Qin not only wants a confidant, but also wants to be worshipped like his father, so he turns Li Shen into For his followers, Li Shen only used the Taoist banned books to cultivate the Taoist way, using human blood to sacrifice. He didn’t dare to dare to go into it. So Feng Qin told Li Shen about this method. At the same time Li Shen was horrified, he only felt Feng Qin Taoist method. Higher than him, so willing to obey his instructions.”

“Li Shen asked for money, so he gave Li Shen money, Li Shen wanted to return to the vulgar, he also helped a lot, Li Shen even more obedient to his words, and then Li Shen went to Yizhou, but was targeted by the government because of his arrogant temperament. He was scared in his heart and asked Feng Qin for help. Although Feng Qin was angry, he had to help. Later, when Li Shen got the blood, Feng Qin found a way to control him.”

Bo Ruoyou never expected that these two people would have been involved for so many years. At this time, Huo Weilou said: “We thought that the money for Li Shen’s treatment came from Taoism and his cheating of believers, but in fact, The money he got from the sidelines was limited. It was Feng Qin who helped him. Feng Qin not only bought him money for medicine, but even told Li Shen that only by becoming his believer can he bless Li Shen, and this time Li Shen has committed the crime. It is also the time he said that Li Shen’s time has come, and he can soar to the Tao.”

Bo Ruoyou heard it unbelievably, “Li Shen actually believed it?”

Huo Weilou shook his head, “It is unknown. Without Feng Qin, Li Shen could not use precious medicinal materials, and he would not survive now. He could not rely on Feng Qin. As for whether he really believed in Feng Qin as the living god, Only he knows that.”

Bo Ruoyou suddenly said, “No wonder, Li Shen is willing to come out to commit the crime, and he is not ashamed of the murder of Wen Jin, I am afraid that he really regards the harm as a way of cultivating the Tao, and they are the same!”

While talking, the carriage left the city. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the snow outside the city has not melted, and all the fields are shining. Bo Ruoyou wanted to lift the curtain and look out, but Huo Weilou raised his hand and put it down, “Heaven It’s very cold. Beware of catching typhoid fever again. How to get married next month?”

Bo Ruoyou’s heart jumped suddenly, inexplicably embarrassed. The wedding ceremony between her and Huo Weilou was scheduled for the third day of February. It was only one month after all. She gave a soft “Oh”, honestly. Putting his hand down, “Time flies so fast.”

Huo Weilou looked at her with a smile, “I think it’s slow, but you think it’s fast?”

Bo Ruoyou’s face is reddish, but his words are very open, “Master Hou knows that I also want to marry Master Hou.”

This pleased Huo Weilou, he put a thin hand to his lips and kissed heavily.

The carriage went up to Fengming Mountain along the official road. Bo Ruoyou didn’t know what he thought of, and suddenly sighed, “I followed my foster father to count the dowry. ——”

Feng Qin did melt the Qibao stupa. Not only that, but the other Buddha treasures he found were also melted in the pill furnace, and the Buddha bone relic had long been refined and taken in the pill.

The embroiderer later found a few unmelted chalcedony in the gold and silver nuggets retrieved from Zhuangzi, and sent them to Xiangguo Temple and Treasure Sijian to see. As expected, they were sure to be ornaments on the Qibao stupa, and interrogated Feng Qin. , He also confessed to this.

Huo Weilou Wen said: “What you like in the future, I will find it for you.”

Bo Ruoyou is not a good person of gold, silver and jade, but Huo Weilou is sincere. She also knows that Huo Weilou will do what he says, and he is the one who truly embraces glory but does not love vulgar things, so she is soft. Softly responded “Okay.”

The carriage went up the mountain road and arrived at the Bo’s Cemetery in a short time. The two followed the path to the tomb of Bo Jingxing’s husband and wife. They worshiped their father and mother before worshipping Bo Lanzhou. Bo Ruo squatted quietly in front of the tomb and whispered. After explaining the causes and consequences, he just took out the paper boat that he had brought from the mansion.

Some of these paper boats were white and flawless, and some were written with crooked ink characters. She burned with the incense candle offerings, and the firefly light illuminates her eyes, and the fear of that long night seems to have dissipated.

After the last paper boat turned to ashes, Bo Ruoyou left the cemetery with Huo Weilou.

The second day was the New Year’s Eve, Bo Ruoyou accompanied Huo Weilou to visit the princess in the day, and at night, he obediently accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to spend the New Year’s meal.

Their father and daughter have lived together for several years. This year’s past is generally stable and happy in Qingzhou, but now it’s in the capital. Bo Lanzhou’s case has been solved. The Cheng family is rehabilitated, and Bo Ruoyou’s marriage is approaching, and the future is new, and Cheng Yunzhi is happy. After drinking a few more glasses, he stopped shortly after another. Bo Ruoyou was hesitating whether to keep the year old, and Huo Weilou came.

A banquet was given in the palace on New Year’s Eve. Huo Weilou was lightly drunk. Hearing that Cheng Yunzhi had stopped, he went out with Bo Ruoyou.

The carriage goes all the way to the shore of Weiyang Lake. Tonight and New Year’s Eve, every household is celebrating the Chinese New Year. On the contrary, the West Market is quite deserted, but the restaurants and buildings along the street are all lit up with lights, glowing and glowing, like Qionglou Yuyu.

Huo Weilou took Bo Ruoyou to Weiyang Lake.

There is no laughter from drinkers on the platform of Huafanglou, and there is still the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras. Huo Weilou drank the wine, but his eyes were very clear. When the carriage stopped by the lake, Bo Ruoyou suspiciously said: “What did Hou Ye do with me here? “

She wanted to lift the curtain to get off the carriage, but Huo Weilou pulled her back, “It’s cold down, just on the carriage.”

Bo Ruoyou looked at him strangely. At this moment, a “shoo” burst into the air, and soon it exploded with a “bang”. Bo Ruoyou was surprised and saw Huo Weilou Chen Mo in front of him. In the eyes like that, there is an ambiguous reflection!

When the curtain was lifted, Huo Weilou motioned her to look out, and when Bo Ruoyou turned around, he saw colorful fireworks rising into the air on the frozen lake in Weiyang!

The colorful flames burst straight up, and then slammed in all directions. It was originally a night sky without stars and moons. At this moment, out of thin air, the river is shining, the stars are falling like rain, and it is like a crimson fire tree, colored silk and silver flowers, thin and faint. After a daze, some surprises slowly came out, and there was a bright light at the bottom of the pupils, and he couldn’t help holding Huo Weilou’s wrist, “Is this prepared by Lord Hou?”

She lay down at the window, and Huo Weilou took her into her arms from behind, and said with satisfaction: “What I saw at the banquet in the palace, I didn’t notice anything in the past, but this year I feel so beautiful, so I want to watch it with you.”

His voice was a little vague, and Bo Ruoyou looked back at him, “Master Hou is drunk?”

The light in Huo Weilou’s eyes faded, and with enthusiasm, he looked straight into Bo Ruoyou’s heart. Seeing her snow-skinned beauty close to her eyes, she couldn’t help but drew closer, “Youyou, I wish you a happy New Year and be with me always.”

Huo Weilou’s lips pressed over, and Bo Ruoyou was covered by him, and the two of them soon became entangled in one place.

Jianhe thirty-two years, quietly arrived in the sky full of fireworks.
