The Delicate Lady Coroner

It was late, and when Huo Weilou was about to enter the palace, Bo Ruoyou should say goodbye, he ordered someone to prepare a car frame and ordered the guards of the Hou Mansion to send Bo Ruoyou home.

The carriage departed from the front of the Hou Mansion and came all the way towards Changxing Fang. Sitting in the carriage, Bo Ruoyou couldn’t help worrying. Huo Qinghong’s state of poisoning was deep, and it was impossible to control himself. I really don’t know until the next poisonous outbreak. What to do.

After thinking about it all the way, she waited for Bo Ruoyou to return to her senses, got out of the carriage and thanked the guards, and then knocked on the door. Soon there were footsteps in the door. She thought it was Zhou Liang who had come to open the door, but the door opened. , But there stood Bo Yixuan inside.

Bo Ruoyou clumped her eyebrows, "Why are you here?"

Bo Yixuan glanced at Bo Ruoyou, then went to see the carriages and horses that were about to leave. The attendants who drove and escorted were in the Wu Zhaohou mansion guard uniform, and he could see his identity at a glance. He retracted his gaze and ordered Bo Ruoyou to enter the door. .

Today, Bo Yixuan didn't have the sense of being elevated. Instead, he closed his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "My eldest mother and my father and mother will come to see you together."

Hearing the words "big aunt", Bo Ruoyou had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Bo Jingqian is now locked up, how can the Hu family come to visit them in a leisurely manner?

Suspicious in her heart, she stepped inward. As soon as she walked outside the main room, she saw Hu in the main hall greeted her with red eyes, "Oh, you are back--"

Hu grabbed her hand affectionately, "Where did you come back from?"

Bo Ruoyou hadn't spoken yet, Bo Yixuan said, "The person who sent her back was an attendant in the Wu Zhaohou Mansion."

Hu's eyes lit up, "So, is Youyou really working in front of Wu Zhaohou?"

Bo Ruoyou broke away, blessed the elders, and said, "Auntie, please sit and talk." As she said, she went to see Cheng Yunzhi, and saw that Cheng Yun's face was neither cold nor warm.

Hu took a seat in a little embarrassment, and went to see the Bo Jingli and his wife. The Bo Jingli and his wife were hesitant to speak, but they were a little uncomfortable. Bo Yixian was also there. She looked sad and couldn't say what she wanted to say. Bo Yixuan looked at these people, and finally couldn't help but said, "Second sister, do you know something happened to the Bo family?"

Bo Ruo faintly looked at them, "Oh? What happened?"

Bo Yixuan said suspiciously: "Uncle he doesn't know who has offended him. Now he is in a jail. The person who arrested the uncle was an embroiderer. Since you are working in front of Wu Zhaohou, you don't know about it?"

Bo Ruo looked at him indifferently, "I'm just a work, how can I know such an important thing? And if the place of the sky prison is just an ordinary guilt, I don't want to be in the sky prison."

Bo Yixuan frowned for a while, and his voice became louder, "What do you mean by this? The uncle is a diligent officer, so would he still break the law?"

Bo Ruoyou blinked, "How can I understand a female stream? If you feel wronged, why don't you say to Wu Zhaohou?"

Bo Yixuan was muffled by her, and Bo Ruo smiled quietly, "What's wrong? Do you want me to tell you where the Mansion of Wu Zhaohou is? My cousin Qi Chi Man, who is also full of poetry and books, wants to come to understand the law and have a heart. Gao Yi, there is unreasonable wrongdoing, so he didn't yell at Wu Zhaohou, but he came and yelled at me."

Bo Yixuan's face turned red, "You..."

At this time, Hu said with red eyes: "Youyou, don't blame your brother, it's really urgent for this matter, we...We really don't know how to do it, so that the Secretary has never been overbearing and unreasonable. I don’t know what happened, and we don’t have anyone who can talk to Wu Zhaohou, so we have to come and ask you to help—"

"My big aunt looks at me high." Bo Ruoyou looked cold, "Directing your Majesty Sinai's hand. If it's really a trivial matter, you don't need to use directing Sinai. Even if I can speak in front of Wu Zhaohou, It’s absolutely impossible to influence such a thing."

Bo Yixian raised his eyes and looked at Bo Ruoyou, "But the last time I saw Wu Zhaohou and his second sister outside Zhongqin Bo’s residence, I only felt that Wu Zhaohou was very kind to the second sister. If the second sister speaks, she can at least ask her father. Why is the second sister detained for us?"

Bo Ruoyou looked at Bo Yixian calmly, her worry was true on her face, but there was a bit of mockery hidden in her eyes, and her words were more like talking about her ambiguous trip with Huo Weilou.

Bo Yixian's face was distressed, and this statement was indeed somewhat mysterious, but when Bo Ruo looked at her quietly, her tender brows and eyes actually gave birth to a dignified look, which forced her to look away with some guilty conscience.

Bo Ruoyou only felt sighing, and his tone became cooler, "Wu Zhaohou is a man with a clear distinction between public and private, and those who follow him do not dare to overstep."

After a slight pause, Bo Ruoyou said: "Why don't my cousin ask Uncle Lin for help instead of coming to me? The honorable servant of Uncle Lin is about to be promoted to the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, and he has known Wu Zhaohou for many years. His words are the most useful to think."

Hearing this, Bo Yixian instantly whitened her face, and the Hu family couldn't help but said: "We naturally looked for it, and from the Lin family, we learned that you also helped Wu Zhaohou with a lot of errands..."

Hu’s words were anxious, and his face was slightly hot after he finished speaking. Although Lin promised to help inquire, but in the end he didn’t find a result. In Hu’s view, Lin did not try his best, so it seemed that Lin was right. They are quite unconcerned, rather downcast.

Bo Ruoyou had already guessed that they had learned about them from the Lin family. As an underservant, they didn't know how to despise her at the bottom of their hearts. How could they think that she could speak in front of the Huo Wei Tower?

Although Bo Yixian had a glimpse that day, only when he learned from Lin's mouth that she and Huo Weilou had a long history, would he come to her with such determination.

But these people are mostly used to being aloof, and there is no way of asking for help. Bo Ruoyou looked at the mother and daughter, then glanced at Bo Yixuan, there was no expression on his face, but Hu said: "Lin Shilang has his own Duties, it’s hard to ask too much, but Youyou are different from you, you are from a daughter’s family, and you are not serious about tolerance, so it’s okay to ask more—"

"So, my eldest aunt made me know that Wu Zhaohou hates people who are both public and private, but I still want to offend him?" She looked at Hu curiously, and Hu clan hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Since...Naturally not... It’s just that if something happens to your uncle, the Bo’s will really fall, and we can’t do anything about it.”

Seeing that Bo Ruoyou was unmoved, Bo Yixuan couldn't help but say: "Second sister, we are all a family. No matter what, you have to try it. If it really doesn't work, we won't be forced. You, let alone your job for Wu, did you help Lord Hou for an autopsy this time? Don't you know anything about it?"

"Family..." Bo Ruo faintly said, "Shi Lang has nothing to do, what can I do? Even if I help the autopsy, I will say what I should say, and I have my own sense of what should not be said. ."

She said that her eyes were narrow, "My cousin came here today. Did he forget what he said to me a few days ago?"

She looked cold, and the others who listened were also startled, not knowing what Bo Yixuan said. Bo Yixuan also remembered what she said that day, her face was red, and she was embarrassed that she could not get off the stage.

Bo Ruo smiled faintly, "My cousin has been reading for so many years. When he should be noble and noble when he should be noble, bow his head when he should be lowered. It is really amazing. If I were you, I would be able to say such things that day. Come on."

Bo Yixuan's face rose red like blood, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, but Bo Ruoyou didn't care about him, and said directly: "If the uncle is not guilty, the matter will be released sooner or later when the matter is clear, but if he is guilty, no matter what the punishment is. It's late, if you come to my house just for this, please come back."

Bo Yixuan wanted to say something more, but the second wife Wei coughed and opened her mouth, "What am I talking about, a little girl, faintly, how embarrassing her, today we are bothering her, sister-in-law, let's go back first."

Hu was very unwilling to look at Cheng Yunzhi, and then at Bo Ruoyou. Seeing that the father and the daughter were not softened, they felt as if they were slapped on the face, and Bo Jingli was embarrassed and did not speak. Stand up stiffly, "Since this is the case, then we will go back first--"

Cheng Yunzhi: "Zhou Liang, see off the guests."

Zhou Liang responded, and Bo Yixian quickly got up and helped Hu clan leave. Bo Yixuan wanted to say something, but Wei clan spoke to Cheng Yunzhi very kindly, "There is really nowhere to go these days, otherwise I won't find him."

Cheng Yunzhi said quietly: "It's nothing, good people have rewards, so don't worry too much."

Wei's expression was stagnant, and he didn't say any more. He glanced at Bo Jingli, and then took Bo Yixuan and walked out. The group left Cheng's house. As soon as the door was closed, Hu turned and stared, "Really ruthless. Righteousness is so tight that she is not willing to do anything! When she did not come back, she did well, and now she came back to the Bo's house and there was an accident. The master must have been killed by him!"

Wei raised his eyebrows and didn't say much. When the people in the two rooms got on the carriage separately, Wei looked at Bo Yixuan, "Although your uncle was the one who had the accident, now we have thought about all the ways we can think of, even my maiden family. I also went back to ask for favors, but there is still no way. You are a junior, why are you always in a hurry?"

Bo Yixuan was dissatisfied, "What's wrong with me, mother?"

The carriage started to move, and Wei turned and glanced in the direction of Cheng Zhai, "How did Xian'er tell you?"

The corners of Bo Yixuan’s lips pressed slightly, "She...she said that she had seen Wu Zhaohou treat her second sister very well, and even when she got into the carriage, Wu Zhaohou personally helped her up, so I think the second sister can help..."

Wei Shi smiled, "I can help, but it's different whether I'm willing to spend this effort."

Bo Yixuan wanted to say something but stopped. Wei glanced at Bo Yixuan, then at Bo Jingli, and snorted: "You father and son are willing to be good old people, and your father is fine. You protect Xian'er all day, and she walks with the Lin family. I want to take you to cover, and now I’m coming to Cheng’s family, I’m also going to slap in front of you first, you are what others want you to say, you just say what you say.”

"Ke Xian'er is my sister, I..."

"Speaking of which, Youyou is also your aunt's cousin." Wei said.

Bo Yixuan frowned, "But she didn't grow up in Beijing since she was a child. It's different in the end."

Wei laughed again, "You also know that she didn't grow up in Beijing. You have no friendship with her. Sister-in-law and Yixian have no friendship with her. On weekdays, she is not regarded as her own family. There is no such reason to coerce her with her words."

Bo Yixuan's face was blue and red, "Mother, why do you say the same?"

Wei shook his head, "I didn't grow up in the capital, so I don't feel sorry for her, but for Dafang, we can do our best, but don't because of this rebirth incident, just look at your big aunt's rhetoric. This time, my family didn’t help, and she blamed her. She is a bad person."

At this point, Wei smiled, "Who have been in-laws with the Lin family for so many years, Shi Lang has such a high position, and has a lot of friendship with Wu Zhaohou, but he hasn't asked anything? Maybe it's not that he hasn't asked anything. , It’s just that this matter is very important, people won’t tell her that she is a woman."

Wei stared at Bo Yixuan, "What do you think of?"

A bit of panic appeared in Bo Yixuan's eyes, "Could it be that Uncle really committed something?"

Wei sighed, "I only hope that it is not a major event of looting the family. More importantly, I am afraid that this matter will delay your fame test. In our entire family, there is nothing more important than your future. Not to mention whether Youyou's child is highly valued by Wu Zhaohou, just because she can speak in front of Wu Zhaohou, we must be more cautious."

At this point, Wei frowned, "Have you come to find Youyou by yourself a few days ago?"

Bo Yixuan nodded, and Wei asked again, "What did you say?"

Bo Yixuan's face was bleeding again, and he gritted his teeth and said: "She did what she did, and everyone knew about it. When she went to the meeting that day, it happened to be asked by others. Everyone said that the daughter of the Bo family actually did it. I made a fool of myself, and the words were quite mocking. I...I came to tell her that she must not do anything to me, and it buried the Bo family style."

Wei's brows became more frowning, "No wonder, it stands to reason that she really shouldn't be a masterpiece, but Wu Zhaohou values ​​her, and she is beautiful again, if..."

In this way, even the Wei family dare not believe this possibility, and Bo Yixuan even more said: "I know what my mother is thinking. The second sister does not want the Lin family's relationship. I am afraid that she has taken a fancy to the Wu Zhaohou mansion. What kind of status can Wu Zhaohou do? Not to mention her, it is Wuzhaohou's mansion that Yixian can't even enter, and now that she has done a job, it is even more impossible."

Wei raised his eyebrows, "What did Ke Xian'er mean to you?"

Bo Yixuan touched his nose, "I'm afraid that Wu Zhaohou has taken a fancy to the beauty of the second younger sister. As for the position of Mrs. Wu Zhaohou, it is probably impossible."

Wei hesitated for a moment, "It's better to be more cautious. From tomorrow on, you will stay at home and study hard for me. Don't listen to Xian'er's words anymore. No one can help with this matter, it's up to God's will."

In Cheng Zhai, Bo Ruoyou exhaled helplessly, "Foster father, are they disrespectful to you?"

Cheng Yunzhi smiled and shook his head, "No, they went to the Lin Mansion for a few days in a row. Lin Huai couldn't do anything about it. They asked them if they ever came to ask you. Only then did they know that you were helping Wu Zhaohou. Youyou, you really have an aura, and the righteous foster father didn't speak, so you snatched them away."

I thought that Bo Ruoyou would be annoyed a few more words, but she didn't expect her expression to be certain: "Because I am really anxious today, I don't want to lie to them, and it is impossible to really go to the Lord Hou to inquire, the day the uncle was detained, Master Hou has informed me of this matter. This is the kindness of Master Hou, and this matter is so important that I cannot lose my sense."

She finished speaking very quickly, and then quickly asked: "Foster father, do you know the golden ointment?"

Cheng Yunzhi also noticed that she felt a little upset today. Hearing this question, he knew where he was anxious, "Golden anointing?"

Bo Ruo nodded hurriedly, "After the next year, there is a poison in the capital called the golden ointment, which can be addictive. In the case of the brothel I mentioned earlier, the deceased was not out of control because of Meixiang. We Later, the investigation revealed that he was poisoned by the golden ointment. The method of smoking smoke for this substance can cause hallucinations and intoxication. It is not inseparable once or twice. It’s a good thing to take daily. This thing will not only damage the body, but more importantly, after being addicted, you will almost never leave your hands. ...It's like a person is very hungry, willing to do anything in order to get that bite."

Bo Ruoyou also talked about Hu Changqing and Han Ming’s status, and talked about Huo Qinghong’s poisoning. “Hu Yaozuo is still tenacious, but he has never escaped. Now the son is also very poisoned, which is really impressive. Worry."

Cheng Yunzhi also looked serious, "So it seems that there are not a few people who have been poisoned. This is really not a trivial matter!" He got up and went to the study, and wanted to read the pharmacopoeia, "I haven't heard of the golden ointment you said, but some Poison is addictive, but I have a slight impression..."

He went to look at the bookshelf and said: "According to the symptoms you mentioned, if more and more people are poisoned, the entire capital will be chaotic. In the troubled years, some people can even kill their children for a bite. Death, now it's easy to lose your family for this poison."

"Yes, this thing is very expensive, and it is only circulated among the rich and powerful at the moment, but if the reputation of this thing gets more and more popular, it will eventually flow into the ordinary people. In two months, the family property will be lost, and their own money will be lost. People who are good should learn the tricks of stealing and kidnapping..."

Bo Ruoyou became more and more urgent as he talked about it. It was just that ordinary people became addicted. If the poison flows into the court, into the palace, or even into the army, the consequences are even more unimaginable.

"The most important thing at the moment is how to detoxify, but now I don't even know what the golden ointment is made of. Today Gongzi Ming and an imperial doctor also went to the Hou Mansion, but they have no idea for the time being."

Cheng Yunzhi soothed and said, "Don't worry about it. If you don't want to kill this thing, you still have time to think about it."

Bo Ruoyou thought so too, and stepped forward to help Cheng Yunzhi look through it together.

...

When Huo Weilou came out of the palace and was already a son, when he returned to the Hou Mansion, Ming Guilan was still with Huo Qinghong. The two had dinner. Ming Guilan asked Huo Qinghong several times about his pulse, but temporarily There was no abnormality, and Ning Xiao was also waiting in the house.

Huo Wei Building looked at Huo Qinghong and went to the study. As soon as he entered the study, Ning Xiao showed the income today to Huo Wei Building. "In addition to being the treasurer of Qingfeng Building, Li Yuan has a lot of business involved in the capital. , These restaurants all have his share, the first one is funded by himself and run by others, the latter is a partnership with others."

Huo Weilou's mind is now on the golden anointing. When opening the list given by Ning Xiao, he only scanned ten lines. However, soon, his eyes were slightly stagnant. He looked at it from the beginning busy and carefully, and then took Sun Zhao in the afternoon. The sent list opened, and the two were compared. Huo Weilou was surprised to find that most of the restaurants under Li Yuan's name were selling gold cream.

"Unexpectedly, there will be such an unexpected gain." Huo Weilou raised his eyes, "Re-examine Li Yuan, there is no need to interrogate why he went to Song Yu's Mansion, just interrogate him where the gold ointment sold in these restaurants came from. Obtained, besides, where is the source of this poison, how it was prepared, and what is the craftsmanship."

Ning Xiao still didn’t know about the golden anointing. Huo Weilou said that the poison was found today, and people were sent to tell Lukelai. When Luke entered the mansion, Huo Weilou said: "There has been an addictive substance circulating in the capital. The poison is called the golden ointment. I have already informed your majesty together with Sun Zhao. Your majesty ordered Jing Zhao Yin Yamen and the Secretary of Directive to investigate the matter together."

He glanced at the list given by Ning Xiao again, "This poison has flowed into Beijing after a year. It has been sold in many places in Beijing, including many restaurants under Li Yuan's name."

Lu Ke was surprised, "Could it be that Li Yuan has something to do with this poison?"

Huo Weilou stared at him, "It has been confirmed that Li Yuan used this poison for profit. Now what I have to doubt is whether Song Yu is also related to this poison. If there is, then the account books that disappeared from the household will have a reason."

"Hou Ye suspected that the money obtained by the Ministry of Household's corruption may be related to the logistics of these drugs in Beijing?" Ning Xiao asked.

Huo Weilou nodded, "Tonight, Jingzhao Yin Yamen will investigate the place where the poison is sold in the capital. Song Yu and the household department will be in charge for the time being. Lu Ke, you will mobilize the staff. From tomorrow, you will start with Jingzhao Yin Yamen. Investigate the matter together."

Ning Xiao and Lu Ke both responded, and Huo Weilou ordered some more detailed rules before coming out to see Huo Qinghong. When he walked outside the guest house, he happened to meet Father Fu, and Fu Gong said, "Master Hou, the son has stopped. Now, it’s convenient to look after. Ming Gongzi will stay here tonight."

Huo Weilou said: "I will send someone to the Guogong Mansion tomorrow."

Father Fu asked: "How to say a word?"

"Tell the truth." Seeing that the night light in the main room had gone out, Huo Weiloufu turned around and returned to the study.

As soon as he opened the brocade box, the sweet smell came out again. He intuitively felt a slight ripple in his heart. For the first time, he felt that the sweet smell was rather tiring, but now he smelled it, but he didn't feel it anymore, he " He closed the lid with a bang, and felt that the poison was stubborn and weird, I'm afraid it was not so easy to quit.

He slept quite restlessly this night. The next day he asked Huo Qinghong what he was doing together. He was relieved to learn that the others were still asleep. After some meals, he went straight to Jingzhao Yin Yamen.

When I arrived at the yamen, I saw many government officials sleeping in the classroom, and when they heard that he was coming, Sun Zhao also greeted him with the blackness of the moment. After checking this night, the result was even more terrifying than last night.

Sun Zhao said with a tired look: "Last night many shops in the Fang market were closed, so I have not checked them thoroughly. However, from the accounts of several merchants in the west of the city, I learned that this logistics has been in Beijing for four months. Many, not only that, they have people delivering goods to their door every three days, but as of today, they don’t even know who the boss is behind the scenes. As for how this stuff was made, where it came from, and even if you don’t know about it, you will know it gradually. There are more people buying, and a lot of money."

The bottom of Huo Wei's building was dark. "Today you take a break. Later, the Secretary will mobilize people from the Nine City Patrol Camp. Today, you must check and understand."

Sun Zhao responded and asked Wu Xiang to be recalled, and he ordered people to record the last night's income into a roster. After waiting for a little half an hour, before Wu Xiang came, he waited for Bo Ruoyou.

Bo Ruoyou also had a tired look. She seemed to know that Huo Wei Tower was in the Yamen, and came straight to him, "Master Hou! I know what the poison is made of!"
