The Delicate Lady Coroner

Just like Bo Ruoyou came in, the expressions of Huo Weilou and Sun Zhao were shocked.

Huo Weilou couldn't help but stood up and greeted her, "Did you know?" Then he took a closer look at her face, "You didn't sleep last night?"

Bo Ruo faintly nodded, "Master Hou, it's a beautiful smile! This golden cream is made from a beautiful smile!"

Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but Sun Zhao was a little suspicious. He didn't participate in Song Yu's case, so he didn't know what a beautiful smile was. But Bo Ruoyou discerned the poison, and he was tired and wiped out.

He also came forward, "Xiaobo, what is a beautiful smile?"

Bo Ruo whispered extremely quickly: "Beauty Smile is a gorgeous medicinal flower that grows in the southwest. Both fruits and shells can be used as medicine. It is equivalent to restraining the lungs, relieving cough and relieving pain——"

She looked at the Huo Wei Tower again, "Master Hou said that this golden paste was first circulated among the nobles in the southwest, and then somehow it flowed into the capital, and Beauty Smile happened to be born in the southwest."

Seeing Huo Weilou hesitated a little, Bo Ruoyou said again: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I didn't conclude that this thing is a beautiful smile. After returning home last night, my foster father and I checked many pharmacopoeias. Lord Hou should remember me. As I said yesterday, a doctor said that although Beauty Smile can be used as medicine and has good effects, it has hidden dangers and needs to be used with caution. At that time, I was thinking about the hidden dangers, but I read many medical books and found nothing, but yesterday At night, I found it with my foster father."

"The addictive Chinese medicine also has ephedra, and the usual dosage is not bad. Even when mentioning this thing, some doctors mentioned the rice sac flower, and the rice sac flower is a beautiful smile. Hou Ye should know The southwestern land is mostly deep and steep. The doctor visited the hinterland of the southwest and visited many villages. In a medical book, he mentioned the method of concocting beautiful smiles."

Hearing this, Huo Weilou believed everything she had said, and pointed to the side seat, asking her to sit down and speak.

Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and took a seat, breathing for a breath before continuing: "The medical book says that when a beauty smiles and forms buds, use a big needle to **** the outer green skin in the afternoon, and don't damage the inner crusty, or three or five places, the next morning. Take it out, scrape it with a bamboo knife, put it into the porcelain, and dry it in the shade. ① This is the raw pulp that is taken out. After the substance is dried in the shade, it will become brown and black with a bitter and pungent taste. If you want to make a golden paste, you need to burn it. After being boiled and fermented, it will be golden yellow after forming."

"Although I am not very sure, the inferior gold paste in the brothel should be boiled and fermented and not formed, so it retains the original pungent taste of the raw pulp, and the fermented product has a sweet and sweet smell. It is easily addictive. The medical book also said that some people in the southwest village died of swallowing raw pulp directly, and the method of cooking and concoction was later fashionable. They like to burn bamboo pipes on the couch, but feel that This thing is rich and fragrant, it can make people feel dazzled, have no thoughts, and imitate bliss."

"In these villages, every family has grown this thing for nearly a hundred years. The golden paste after cooking is as common as daily meals. Therefore, I don’t realize that I am addicted. Only those family members have no labor. The grower often suffers from pain. It is precisely when he sees the pain of these people and the symptoms described by everyone in the village, only then did he realize that this thing is a hidden danger."

Bo Ruoyou finished speaking in one breath, a bit of sweat formed on her impatient forehead, and she said again: "Hou Ye, Master Song's accident is related to Beauty Smile. Beauty Smile is the original thing of this golden anointing. In the middle, I don't know. Is it related."

Last night, Huo Weilou had this idea when he saw that Li Yuan’s restaurants were selling gold ointment. Now that she knows that the golden ointment is made of beauty smile fruit slurry, it is naturally more certain. Seeing her tired face, his heart could not help but give birth to something. I was moved, "I thought about this, and I already have a clue, but overnight you will find that Beauty Smile is the original material of the golden anoint, which is really good."

His eyes were a little bit of appreciation and love, and Bo Ruoyou felt relaxed when he heard his words, "If you have a clue, I'm pretty sure, but I am not the one who made the gold anointing. I will find out after the Lord Hou inquires on it. Right or wrong."

After a pause, she said again: "But although she understands what the golden ointment is made of, she has yet to find a detoxification method. According to the pharmacopoeia, although doctors have many doubts about this, they don't think it is. The thing is a life-threatening poison, plus this medicine is good for many diseases, so it is no more than a few words of caution."

Huo Weilou knew that she was so slightly because Huo Qinghong was also poisoned, and his heart felt even more, "It's okay, this poison has never been seen before. I have expected it to be solvable in a short time, and now I know it is a beautiful smile. I will make the Taiyuan Hospital follow along with the thoughts."

Bo Ruoyou heaved a sigh of relief, "That's fine, we will brainstorm together, and we will definitely come up with a countermeasure."

Bo Ruoyou said so much. Don’t talk about Huo Wei’s building, but Sun Zhao on the side was dumbfounded. He did not doze for a while. “Nowadays, many people have been found poisoned. If there is really a way to understand poison, then It is the welfare of the people."

"It shouldn't be too late, I will bring people into the palace." Huo Weilou ordered the embroiderer to enter the palace. Seeing her tired face, he said: "You haven't slept all night. It's better to go home and rest now."

Bo Ruoyouchen first went to the Hou Mansion, and saw that Huo Wei Tower was not there, and the Yamen came again. At this time, he was indeed a little tired, and he had said everything he had to say, and he had no choice but to answer.

Huo Weilou got up and sent her out of the yamen. When he arrived at the carriage, his voice softened, "Go back and rest. Don't get tired. You have to go out alone in the past two days. "

Seeing the pulse of his gaze, Bo Ruoyou was quite sympathetic, and his heart was slightly warm, and only then got into the carriage and left.

Huo Weilou watched her carriage go far and then turned back to the Yamen. Soon, Wu Xiang went back to the Yamen first, and after a while, Lu Ke came with embroidered clothes. Wu Xiang took the officials from the Yamen and recorded the last night’s income. Huo Weilou took Luke to the Jiucheng patrol camp in person.

The Nine City Patrol Battalion is responsible for the defense of the city and the patrol in the city. After mobilizing soldiers and horses, they will head straight towards the east and west markets.

What Huo Weilou said that there were a lot of problems in the market is not a lie. Bo Ruoyou went back to the house to take a nap, and when he got up to eat at noon, he saw Zhou Liang coming back from the outside anxiously, saying: "It's amazing. It's everywhere outside. It's a soldier, many shops are closed, and the patrol camp has arrested a lot of people. It seems that the poison is really strong."

Bo Ruoyou is a little worried. It is not difficult to stop the sale on the surface, but this thing can make huge profits, and many people cannot do without it. Even if the court imposes a ban, will anyone continue to trade privately? More importantly, how to detoxify is still unknown.

She ran out of lunch and spoke with Cheng Yunzhi. When she talked about the poison, Cheng Yunzhi also sighed, "I'm afraid I have to take a trip to the southwest to see if there is a detoxification method there."

Bo Ruoyou hesitated: "The medical book said that everyone in the southwestern region is using this thing as a common thing, I'm afraid that they have never thought about detoxification."

Cheng Yunzhi pondered for a moment, "Yes, Lord Hou said to ask Taiyuan Hospital to help?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, and Cheng Yunzhi said: "If a whole hospital can't think of a detoxification method, then it will be really difficult."

Cheng Yunzhi hadn't seen a person with the poisonous hair before, and asked Bo Ruoyou at this time: "You asked the elder son for the pulse, what's the pulse condition?"

"When I asked the pulse, I only felt that the spleen and kidney yin was inadequate in my body, the qi and blood was depleted, and there was some dampness in the body, blocking the collaterals. I didn’t see any fatalities, but I felt that the body seemed to be getting more and more serious. weak."

Cheng Yunzhi frowned, "It should be such a pulse condition. Not only is the vein clogged, but the heart and the head are also injured. This will make it abnormal and uncontrollable. If you want to detoxify, you should have a prescription for reconciling yin and yang and relieves the heart orifice. It is necessary to soothe the nerves and eliminate troubles, strengthen the body to eliminate evils, replenish the spleen and stomach, and replenish the spiritual energy and blood, so that people will not be corroded by poisons."

Bo Ruoyou was a little worried, "The terrible thing about this poison is that although it is not fatal, it secretly depletes the five internal organs of human beings, plus vitality, blood, and spirit. The body is getting weaker and weaker, and the spirit is worse. Therefore, it is more difficult to get rid of the addiction. Although what the father said is such a truth, Fang Zi is afraid that it is not easy to open it, and the daughter is quite unsure of how to start."

"It's true. A prescription is only a dozen medicinal materials. It is impossible to cover everything." Cheng Yunzhi finished speaking, and some waves appeared between his eyebrows. He has no longer practiced medicine in these years, and said too much, which always reminded him of the past. thing.

He stopped talking in time, and his expression dimmed. Bo Ruoyou saw it, knowing that he remembered the old things, so he didn't say much.

When the night fell, the investigation in the city had not yet ended. Bo Ruoyou did not leave the house all day, but he heard the footsteps of the soldiers passing by the patrol battalion several times. She felt a little worried and thought of Huo Qing. Hong and the others were worried for a while that their illnesses would be difficult to control, but she only knows how to deal with medicine. This method of detoxification is too difficult for her.

And she didn’t want to have nothing to do, so she went to find Cheng Yunzhi’s medical books. Cheng Yunzhi’s study was used by her for a while. Seeing her like this, Cheng Yunzhi sighed several times, but ordered Aunt Liang to add more lamps to her so as not to hurt her eyes. .

The Huowei Building was still in the Jingzhao Yin Yamen until the hour of the night. The city was under scrutiny, and the snow flakes were generally coming in. The situation was more severe than he had imagined. Ordinary rich and wealthy people also began to raise this thing, such as Loyalty House and other noble families even started to enjoy this thing very early.

Just after the Haishi, the loyal uncle Feng Qin personally took Feng Ye to the Yamen. Feng Qin already knew about Huo Qinghong’s poisoning, and knew that the thing in Huo Qinghong’s hands was raised by Feng Ye, so he didn’t dare to care about it. So he took Feng Ye to the Hou Mansion to plead guilty, but when he arrived at the Hou Mansion, he learned that the Huo Wei Tower was in the Yamen, and then the Yamen came again.

Huo Weilou was immersed in the documents, listening to their father and son coming, let them in with a calm face.

As soon as he entered the door, Feng Ye knelt down. Huo Weilou knew that these aristocratic children often had fun in the same place, and Feng Ye did not deliberately do it, so he had to press his breath to ask him where this thing came from.

Feng Ye said with a bitter face: "I got this thing in the Changle Building opened by Changning Hou. At that time, I only felt that this thing was very mysterious, so I spent some gold and silver to buy some, and then Qinghong came to my house. It was only given to him when it was precious. I don't know that it is poisonous."

Feng Ye looked terrified, Huo Weilou frowned slightly, "Changninghou's Changle Tower?"

Feng Ye nodded, "It is the Cao family's property, located in the West Market."

Huo Weilou didn't know that the Cao family still had this kind of property, so he immediately went to read the memorial report sent today. Looking at it like this, sure enough, this Changlelou is also on the list of selling gold cream, his phoenix eyes are narrow, and Ask: "Apart from you, who else has used this thing?"

Feng Ye reported a series of lives in the lord's mansion in the capital. Huo Weilou glanced at the embroiderer beside him, the embroiderer remembered it in his heart, and immediately went out.

Loyal Bo Fengqin was still wearing the Taoist robe, and sighed: "I have been cultivating Taoism outside the city these days. I don't know if the dog has done this kind of misfortune, he actually harmed the son. It's okay for Master Hou to punish him. "

Huo Weilou looked at Feng Ye, "Are you addicted?"

Feng Ye thought for a while, nodded, and shook his head, "The fragrance is sweet and greasy. Although it makes people happy and invigorating, I don't like it very much. Therefore, I have only used it five or six times in the past month. With that thing, occasionally I feel a little tired, tired, and thoughtful, but just two days after I went out of the city with my father, the golden ointment was not by my side, so I held back."

Huo Qinghong was already addicted to it, but Feng Ye was not poisoned too deeply. Huo Weilou was annoyed by these family members who only knew pleasure, and was angry that Huo Qinghong was not up to the point, and his expression on his face became even greater. For Han Jun, "You did not deliberately do it, so you don't need to be punished, just listen to what Qinghong said, among you group, are you the first to find this thing?"

Feng Ye was even more guilty for a while, and now he only knows that Huo Qinghong was poisoned, but he still doesn't know other people. If so many people are poisoned because of him, then he is a sinner. He nodded, and Huo Weilou said: " In that case, you take the people from the yamen, and you will go to the door right now, and walk through the people you know have already started to use this thing one by one, and the people from the yamen will ask, and you can lead the way."

Feng Ye was bitter, and Huo Weilou said that he would not be punished, but this trip was basically a murder and condemnation. However, seeing Huo Weilou's compelling look, he respectfully responded when he gritted his teeth.

Huo Weilou nodded: "I have to ask you something about this object. You write down your testimony before you leave."

He raised his hand, and someone came in to inquire Feng Ye. First, he asked how long the golden ointment was used and what kind of abnormality he had. The question was very detailed, in order to record the symptoms of the patient so that he could get a detoxification method. .

When Feng Ye and his son left, there was a new memorial report. Huo Weilou saw that the situation in the city had already got a rough idea, and it was more serious than he thought, so he immediately wrote memorial report and sent it to the palace. It was too late to see the time. , Just got up and returned home.

As soon as he arrived at the Hou Mansion, Huo Wei Building found the carriage and horses of the Huo Guo Gong Mansion parked in front of the door. He knew that it was Huo Cheng and his wife who had come, and walked in with a frown. Before they reached the atrium, an attendant came to report: " Lord Hou, the son of the old man has been poisoned, and he is making trouble in the guest house at the moment, and Lord Fu and Lord Guo are both there."

Huo Wei Building's eyes tightened, and he hurried to the guest courtyard. When he reached the door of the guest courtyard, he saw four or five guards standing in front of the main room and blocking Huo Cheng and Yue clan. Yue cried and cried, and Huo Qinghong's Howling sounds are coming from the room.

"Master Hou is back--"

Someone called, Huo Cheng and his wife immediately turned around, and the Yue family immediately came forward when he saw him, "Dangerous building, let us in, let us in and see Hong'er..."

This is the order issued by Huo Weilou before leaving. If Huo Qinghong is poisoned today, he will only be **** so that he will not be injured. You must not give him gold anointing. If Huocheng and his wife are here, you only need to tell them the truth and not let them. Meet Huo Qinghong.

Huo Weilou saw that Yue's face was full of tears, and his voice was low, "Second aunt, no matter what, you will have to pass this level. If I see you, there is no will to speak of. For him and for your own sake, it is better not to see it."

He said again: "It's too late, you should go home first. I will send someone a message to you in these two days. You don't have to come here every day. You know what happened in the city today. This is a big trouble and you haven't found it useful. The method of detoxification, but today’s inquiry learned that the more people who use gold ointment, the more uncomfortable they are when they get sick. Therefore, he can only survive on his own."

"Father and mother...help me..."

Huo Qinghong’s cry came from the room again, and the Yue family couldn’t bear to hear it. Huo Weilou looked at Huo Cheng, “Second Uncle, you are cruel at this moment, because you really hurt him, he is not yet in shape. As I can see today, people who have used this thing for more than three months are already as thin as ghosts, I'm afraid that the court will not be able to formulate a detoxification plan."

Huo Cheng and the Yue clan heard a rousing spirit, no matter where they dared to intercede, Huo Weilou directly ordered the attendants to send them out, and when the two of them left behind one step at a time, Huo Weilou entered the door of the main room.

The lights in the main room were dimly lit. In the warm pavilion, Huo Qinghong's hands and feet were tied with cloth straps. He was half-wrapped in his arms by Father Fu. Ming Guilan was sitting in a wheelchair and was writing a prescription. Father Fu had red eyes full of pity. When Huo Weilou came back, his expression was even more sad, but Huo Qinghong looked at Huo Weilou with tears in his eyes, but he prayed, "Big Brother, Big Brother, please--"

Huo Weilou stood by the couch, with dark eyes looking at Huo Qinghong, his face was cold, as if he had no sympathy for him today, "I said yesterday, that was the last time."

"Big brother, but I'm dying, I'm really dying."

He didn’t know how long the poison had been going on, his voice was hoarse, Huo Weilou’s face was expressionless when he heard this, “You won’t die, you just have to endure it. Shi Qiang bears it, endures the most uncomfortable time, and then slowly returns to normal. You only need to endure two hours."

"No, no big brother, I can't bear it, I'm really dying, I feel uncomfortable, you can give me one more time, please, big brother..."

His whole body was shaking like chaff, his face was full of tears and sweat, and his face was blue, no longer the usual wind and wandering appearance, Huo Weilou still looked at him indifferently, "Yesterday was the last time, you are a man, speak Be confident in your words."

"Big Brother——" Huo Qinghong became more desperate, "Then, then I might as well die!"

"Do you dare?" Huo Weilou asked coldly.

Huo Qinghong shrank, and the pain made him whimper, "Big Brother...I...I hate you..."

When Huo Weilou heard this, he turned his eyes to see Ming Guilan, and motioned him to come out with him. The two left one after another. Huo Qinghong groaned in pain behind him, and Ming Guilan said as soon as he left the house: "Also There is no prescription for the right medicine, and what is prescribed right now is nothing more than to replenish qi and blood to eliminate evil miasma. I know many weird diseases and poisoning symptoms, but this time is unprecedented."

It is the first time that Ming Guilan has seen a human being poisoned, and his heart is quite shocked. Huo Wei said: "I have expected that you will take care of his body now. Tomorrow your father will take someone from the hospital to see other people. For the poisoned person, if everything goes well, maybe there will be a detoxification method within a few days, if it doesn’t go well..."

He looked back at the Nuan Pavilion where Huo Qinghong was. "If it doesn't go well, he can only let him go through it like this."

Ming Guilan sighed, "I never thought that golden ointment was such a weird poison."

It was already in the middle of the night, and it was about to dawn in two more hours. Ming Guilan saw Huo Weilou's expression stern and tired, so he asked him to rest first. Huo Weilou looked inside the house again and walked away.

When I returned to the main hospital, I still felt Huo Qinghong’s cries echoing in my ears. Huo Wei Building took a cold bath. When I lay down, I felt a headache and distraught. My mind was a little disturbed and I couldn’t sleep. To enter the palace, he forced himself to lie down motionless. I don't know how long it took before he got a short sleep.

It was as if the sky was bright when he only slept for a stick of incense. Huo Weilou got up, only to feel that his fatigue was not resolved, but heavier. He got up and changed his clothes in confusion. When he walked out of the bedroom, he was in the main hall. Inside saw a beautiful figure, Bo Ruoyou was actually sitting in the hall!

Huo Weilou blinked, almost feeling dazzled.

At this moment Bo Ruoyou turned and looked at him, she hurriedly stood up and blessed, "Hou Ye——"

Huo Weilou strode out, "Why did you come so early?"

The corners of Bo Ruoyou's lips were slightly curved, "Because I was not at ease, I wanted to come over and have a look. I saw my father-in-law just now, and learned that Shizi really got poisoned last night. After tossing midnight, after exhausting my strength, I fell asleep."

Huo Weilou felt a little peace in her heart, and asked her to accompany her for breakfast. When she was seated, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help asking about the situation in the city. When Huo Weilou told the truth, her heart followed, and Huo Weilou personally served her porridge. "If you hadn’t seen Hu Changqing’s poisoning on that day, you would have to check it out again if you were vigilant. I’m afraid it will take a while to be discovered, and it will be more serious. You should be the first to do it because of the beauty of laughter."

How dare Bo Ruoyou take credit, just ask: "Has it been verified?"

Huo Weilou nodded, "This thing originally flowed from the southwest. Although the person behind the scenes was not found yesterday, there are a few who sell this thing the most, saying that this thing is made from an anther in the southwest, and like you It is said that the collection of this object was in the southwest village, and it was changed hands several times, the price was high, and then it flowed into the capital."

After a slight pause, he said again: "Before Song Yu died, he invited two people into the mansion. One of them was Chang Ninghou, the mother's uncle of His Royal Highness, and the other was a rich gentry in the capital. Both of them had names. The industry is selling gold cream."

It was the first time Bo Ruoyou heard him talk about the identity of the person Song Yu saw before his death. She was shocked, "How could it be such a coincidence?"

"It is indeed a coincidence. Song Yu's death is probably related to the rise of Huangjin Gao in central Beijing and the southwest. It is only now that the investigation of Huangjin Gao is the most important thing. Once this matter is verified, the murderer who killed Song Yu may also be exposed. "

This matter has a wide range of implications. The behind-the-scenes involvement of court corruption and the gold anointing industry is not true for Bo Ruoyou, but Song Yu’s death is a haze in her heart. She is thinking, waiting to accompany Huo Weilou. After breakfast, he will go to the palace.

He was going to enter the palace, Bo Ruoyou said goodbye, and the two went out of the house together. Bo Ruoyou first watched him get into the carriage, and when the curtain fell, the coachman raised the whip, she just walked towards her carriage, Ke Gang After two steps, the falling curtain was lifted up again.

Bo Ruoyou turned suspiciously, and saw Huo Weilou leaning forward, his handsome face reflected in the dim light, but his sight was as scorching as the substance, he said slowly: "Youyou, you send me to the palace gate."
