The Delicate Lady Coroner

Chapter 23 - An inch of gold 23



Zheng Yunni and His Royal Highness made a baby kiss. Just after he was born, the eight-character birthday party was sent to the capital. Huo Weilou ordered the embroidered clothes ambassador to go and check, but for a moment, the embroidered clothes ambassador returned and said, “Hou Ye, Miss Zheng’s birthday is under construction. It was engraved at the beginning of the seventh day of February in the fifteenth year.”

He Cheng held a piece of paper in his hand, filled with the days of the cloudy year and cloudy time calculated by Dao Changbu. In contrast, he frowned and shook his head, “There is no such thing as the seventh day of February. “

“Does Ruoan Qinghou’s mansion report a fake birthday?” Huo Weilou stared.

He Cheng’s complexion changed slightly, “This…this is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and when the year is overcast, it is fierce and unlucky. The eldest lady was valued by the imperial concubine and was willing to make a baby kiss, but it was because the eldest lady was the second majesty. Lucky Star…”

He Chengyue said that the more fearful he became, “It’s no wonder that several masters in the mansion always conceal something. They are afraid of getting involved in this matter, so they are silent, and the murderer can get them in the middle of the game with just four sentences on the paper!”

If it were just a title dispute, it would be considered normal, but now that the marriage between Zheng Yunni and His Royal Highness was suddenly involved, He Cheng became more and more panicked. He couldn’t help but look at the Huo Wei Building and wonder what the Huo Wei Building would do.

Father Fu’s expression is also a bit ugly, “Anqing Houfu wants to keep this marriage. It is very possible that the birth date was falsely reported that year. The imperial concubine and empress are very important to these. Hou Ye, do you want to send a letter back to the capital to ask what the palace means. The big wedding will take place in March, or the marriage is bestowed by the sacred decree…”

The marriage given by the saints is also related to the second prince who is the most favored. Whoever it is, it must be delayed at this moment, in case it is really found out that should not be investigated, the Anqing Houfu loses its face, and the royal family is criticized. It’s a catastrophe.

Huo Weilou frosted the black jade finger on his finger, “No need.”

Fu Gonggong stopped talking, Huo Wei said: “This is a murder case, and the three lives are not trivial. Although Zheng Yunni’s birthday is suspected to be false, there is no evidence, and whether she is related to the murder case is still unknown. very.”

Father Fu narrowed his mouth and said: “You know that the second majesty loves you, although the second majesty respects you now, you can tell me in advance whether it is safer…”

Father Fu said something meaningful, and Huo Weilou said, “The murderer found out and sent Zhezi to Beijing together. If Anqing Hou’s Mansion really concealed a lot of shameful things, Zhao Xi’s marriage would not be successful.”

Zhao Xi is a taboo in the name of the second prince. Huo Weilou called out casually and did not shy away. He Cheng was trembling at hearing, but he began to thank Huo Weilou’s relatives for overseeing the case. If there is no Huo Weilou, he is alone, let alone Zheng Wenyan and others. Restrained by him, even if he really found this place, he didn’t dare to bet on Wu Sha to continue the investigation.

“But the emperor gave marriage…”

Father Fu murmured again, seeming to be worried about Huo Weilou, but seeing Huo Weilou’s indisputable look, he didn’t go down and said, “Then Lord Hou, now I have to call Miss Zheng and Wuye Zheng. Ask about this?”

Huo Weilou’s phoenix eyes narrowed, “You said it was the crime of deceiving the emperor. If there is no iron proof, how can they admit it?”

Three people have died since the incident. Even if he knew that he would be the next one to be killed, Zheng Wenan never let go. He was not even afraid of death. He only asked ordinary questions. How to ask?

“How is the ancestral hall cleaned up?”

He Cheng hurriedly said: “It’s very slow, day and night, and only half of the debris has been cleaned up.”

Huo Weilou’s eyes grew dark, “Mother Yu knew what happened back then, and later chose to burn the ancestral hall. There must be evidence in that ancestral hall.”

He Cheng sighed: “The ancestral hall is the weight of the clan. What evidence is there that even the ancestral hall should be burned? There are memorial tablets for the ancestors of the Hou Mansion.”

He Cheng’s question was also the suspicion of others. Huo Weilou stood up and said, “Go to the ancestral hall to see.”

Huo Weilou strode out, but Bo Ruoyou didn’t move, her eyes were heavy and her expression looked thoughtful.

The murderer took the bait with Zheng Wenchen and Zheng Wenyan, who were quoted on a golden paper note, with the four characters “Yin Nian Yin Shi” written on it, which shows that the murderer knew what happened in the past. Most people who know the inside story will not be allowed to live in the world. Could it be that someone who was caught by this incident back then has come back to take revenge?

What about Zheng Yunni’s accident at the age of five or six? If the murderer had started doing it at that time, why hadn’t there been any movement in the past ten years? But if it wasn’t the murderer, what happened the night Zheng Yunni disappeared?

Does the eldest lady have a dying daughter?

There were too many questions, but Bo Ruoyou couldn’t figure it out anyway. He looked up again and saw that Huo Weilou had left the yard with He Cheng. As soon as he left, Bo Ruoyou relaxed and then sighed softly. .

Huo Wei Louguo disdain to show kindness, but even if he disdain, she is true. Bo Ruoyou sighed again and walked out.

Chuntao came out with her this morning. At this moment, she was also questioned by the officials outside the courtyard. Seeing her coming out, she immediately greeted her, “Where is the girl going?”

“Go to the mourning hall to see—”

The corpse was parked in the mourning hall. She hadn’t arrived yesterday. At this moment, her thoughts were blocked, she wanted to examine the corpse, or could think of what she had overlooked. Chuntao did not expect that she was going to the mourning hall, but she still followed.

The two of them walked all the way, they saw the warm sun in the sky, and the thick snow that had accumulated for many days was also civilized. There was snow dripping on the eaves. Not long after they walked, Bo Ruoyou suddenly saw a few servants rushing towards Go east, as if something went wrong.

Seeing this, Chuntao said, “Girl, they are the maidservants next to the lady.”

Bo Ruoyou raised his eyebrows and followed Chuntao with Chuntao. After a while, Bo Ruoyou saw several maidservants pulling the old lady back. One of them persuaded: “Madam, don’t be anxious, the fool is not in Meilin, she is in the yard. I’m waiting for you here, we can see Silly Aunt when we go back…”

The eldest lady was smirking, but she couldn’t help but look back at Mei Lin’s direction. At this time, the maidservants saw Bo Ruoyou, one of them asked the others to take the eldest away first, and she came forward and blessed her. .

Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, “What’s wrong with the lady?”

This maidservant also knew that Bo Ruoyou had followed Wu Zhaohou in and out, so she didn’t dare to take it lightly, and said: “The weather is good today. The maidservants took the maid out and walked around. The maid clamored to see the idiot, and she didn’t wait a moment. Then ran to Merlin.”

“If you want to see the fool, go to Merlin?”

The maid smiled bitterly, “Madam Aimei, every time I asked the fool to help her fold the plums, because Xu was so, I thought the fool lived in Meilin.”

Bo Ruoyou felt a strange feeling in her heart, plum forest, bamboo forest, lotus pond…

Seeing that she didn’t ask any more, the maidservant said goodbye, and Bo Ruoyou looked at Mei Lin’s direction and couldn’t help but move.

Upon seeing this, Chuntao asked, “Does the girl also go to make plum blossoms?”

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, “Look at it freely. I met the idiot last night, and the idiot was going to Meilin Zhemei. It was so late that she didn’t even feel scared.”

Chuntao lowered her voice and said, “Girls don’t know, but idiots are also very evil.”

Bo Ruoyou looked back at Chuntao. Chuntao approached for a minute and whispered: “People often run around in the house at night, and their temperament is sometimes good and sometimes bad. He looks timid like a mouse at one time, and then becomes fierce again. There are still people. Said she deliberately pretended to be pitiful to make the eldest lady affectionate.”

“She still has time to be ruthless?”

Chuntao nodded and sighed, “Silly aunt always keeps her head in front of others, she is afraid of people, but she also has a temper. Some older people in the house are not loved by the eldest lady because of her. He treated her preferentially. Not only that, but also because the eldest lady took care of her privately, he even bullied her even more. Sometimes the silly aunt would obey her, and sometimes she would lose her temper. Once, she almost hurt someone. I heard that the steward was unable to go to the ground for several days…”

Bo Ruoyou’s eyebrows jumped, “Hurt someone?”

Chuntao nodded, “Probably a year ago, she pushed a steward down and beat the steward with a broom. Somehow, she wounded the steward. The steward called someone, but she ran away. When she was later found, she was innocent and pretended to be pitiful. In the end, she didn’t punish her because of the eldest lady.”

Bo Ruoyou thought about seeing the fool on the day, even though she had made a mistake and was reprimanded by the steward, but when she raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes were fearless. Not only that, she nodded to her calmly…

Bo Ruoyou felt very strange, but at this time, Chuntao gave her a hand, “Girl, this path can’t be walked, let’s go around the east.”

To Meilin, there was a path between flowerbeds recently, but today the snow has mostly melted. At this moment, the road is quite muddy, Bo Ruo nodded, and followed Chuntao to the east. After a short while, a lotus pond not far from the bamboo forest was reflected in it. Gone.

The embroiderer said that the east side of the bamboo forest is the lotus pond, and the west side is the plum forest…

Bo Ruoyou subconsciously walked to the vicinity of the lotus pond. The pond was not small, but it had dried up. There was a layer of ice and snow on top of the silt. Because of the snow melting today, occasionally puddles of water could be seen at the ice-breaking place.

Seeing her looking at the lotus pond, Chuntao said: “It turns out that this is an inner lake. When the former prince was there, he brought the Huanhua Creek running water to the mansion. There are several inner lakes in the mansion, but then the Huanhua Creek dried up. The inner lake in the mansion was also dried up. After the ancestors of the Zheng family bought the house, they filled most of it, leaving only a few lotus ponds. “

This mansion is not small, and Bo Ruoyou has known it, so she was not surprised to hear it. She walked along the bluestone road by the lotus pond to the direction of Meilin, but she was walking, and her eyes suddenly swept across the lotus pond. Somewhat weird.

The edge of the lotus pond is gathering a small area of ​​water, which is very shallow because it is melted by snow, but at this time, the sparkling water surface is faintly floating, and there seems to be an undercurrent under it.

Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and went down a few steps along the gentle **** of the road.

Petal Huangruibai is actually a lot of Huangxiangmei sinking in the water.

A breeze blew, only the bamboo fragrance lingered at the tip of Bo Ruoyou’s nose, her eyebrows frowned slightly, Huang Xiangmei Lin was as far away, standing here, you can’t even smell the plum fragrance, but in this water, how can there be plum blossoms? ?
