The Delicate Lady Coroner

Watching the carriage in Huo Wei Building leave Bo Ruoyou before turning to enter the door, he thought that Cheng Yunzhi had already rested, but he didn't expect that the room was still brightly lit. Bo Ruoyou walked quickly to the main hall, seeing no one in the hall, and went to the study. When she arrived at the study, she saw Cheng Yunzhi's presence, but to her surprise, Cheng Yunzhi was reading the Pharmacopoeia.

Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised, "Foster father, why don't you rest so late?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Aunt Liang walked in with hot tea from outside, "Miss, the master has been busy all day, after the midday lady left, the house next door to the master Huang still doesn't stop. In the afternoon, the master Huang family woke up and was addicted to drugs. It happened again, and Master Huang had no choice but to come over and invite the master, and the master went over to help all afternoon."

Bo Ruoyou was slightly surprised when she heard that, Cheng Yunzhi put down the pharmacopoeia and sighed: "The doctor they hired knew that Lin'er had been poisoned by the golden ointment. He was a little frightened in his heart, so he didn't dare to continue to watch it, so his father came to invite me."

Cheng Yunzhi raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his eyes, then moved his neck.

Bo Ruoyou raised his lips and said, "The daughter pinches the foster father."

She beat Cheng Yunzhi's shoulders, Cheng Yunzhibian leaned back in the chair and half closed her eyes, and then listened to him ask: "You go out today, do you know if their hospital has made a detoxification method?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "Master Hou said that he has no clue."

"It's really not easy. I stayed with Lin'er from the afternoon of the illness to the evening, and watched him make a fuss after an illness, and then slowly recovered his mind, but I never saw how the drug addiction was eliminated. Relying on patience again and again, it’s nothing more than to go down, but I see it is not that simple, from the pulse state, it is also the state of yin and yang imbalance, qi and blood disorder."

Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "I have left a lot of waste over the years."

Hearing this, Bo Ruoyou's eyes moved slightly, "Although the adoptive father has not practiced medicine in the past few years, but the foundation of the early years is still there, that is the accumulation of more than 20 years, and my daughter feels that whenever you want to practice medicine again It’s not too late. You’re just now in the age of confidence, and there are still decades to come. It’s so comparable, and the leisure time these past few years is nothing."

Cheng Yunzhi's eyes were dark when he heard it, and a moment later, he patted Bo Ruoyou's hand, "Okay, let's rest. You are tired after running for most of the day today, and the body of the adoptive father is a bit too much. "

Bo Ruoyou responded and helped Cheng Yunzhi to go to the bedroom. When he walked to his boudoir, he showed a sorrowful look. Cheng Yunzhi was born in a medical family. If it were not the case of the Cheng family more than ten years ago, he is now sitting firmly in the position of Yuanzheng in the Taiyuan Hospital. There is decent dignity, and the pot can help the world, but there is no such word in this world.

However, Bo Ruoyou could see that Cheng Yun's mind had been shaken, especially when a patient suffering from an intractable disease was in front of him, he would also think about how to treat such a disease in the instinct of a doctor, and this is how he is busy today. Bo Ruoyou very much hopes that Cheng Yunzhi can re-practice medicine, so that it will not only live up to the early years of hard study and the inheritance of the Cheng family, but also can eliminate the unwillingness of these years, but she is afraid that it will be uncomfortable for Cheng Yun to touch the old things, so she dare not persuade.

Early the next morning, Bo Ruoyou got up to freshen up and went to the main hall. He clearly saw that Cheng Yunzhi’s tea cup had been brewed, but did not see Cheng Yunzhi’s person. Aunt Liang pointed to the study room when she saw this, and said softly, “Get up in the morning. So he went into the study again."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes suddenly brightened, and he personally gave Cheng Yunzhi the cup of tea in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Cheng Yunzhi was still flipping through the book. There was thick ink in the inkstone beside him, and a few prescriptions were written on the side.

Seeing Bo Ruoyou coming, Cheng Yunzhi said, "Come over and look at these recipes, do you think they can be used?"

Bo Ruoyou smiled and glanced forward, and shook his head, "My daughter is so superficial that I can't see it, but the prescription prescribed by the adoptive father is definitely better than other doctors."

Cheng Yunzhi was amused by her, "This disease has a lot of suspicions, but I thought of a way, but I don't know if it's useful." He thought a little: "The poison of the golden ointment mostly hurt the patient's head. , And each time after the onset of the poison, it caused great harm to people. Just now, I asked Zhou Liang to go to the next door to look at it. If you keep going like this every time, your body can't keep it up."

His eyes were certain, "Therefore, I wonder if I can't break the golden ointment directly."

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but widen his eyes. Golden ointment is poison. Now the doctors talk about it, but Cheng Yunzhi has to go the other way. She couldn't help saying: "Foster father, the yamen has investigated many diseases this time. These patients generally have one thing in common, that is, the longer the person who takes the golden ointment, the greater the drug addiction, and the harder it is when the drug develops."

Cheng Yunzhi shook his head, "No, I didn't mean it. Although it was a constant anointing of gold, it didn't make them smoke like before. For example, they used one or two in the past, and now they use three dollars, and then use two dollars, one coin. , Besides, I also wonder if I can find some other medicinal materials to replace the golden ointment——"

Bo Ruoyou only felt that this was a strange trick. After all, this golden ointment was quite weird and could not be detoxified by ordinary gentle methods. She had a different kind of trust in Cheng Yunzhi's nature, and said: "Foster father can give it a try, anyway, there is nothing better. The way."

Cheng Yunzhi nodded, his eyes fell on the Pharmacopoeia again.

Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi after reading the book for a while, and the father and daughter had breakfast together. After the breakfast, Cheng Yunzhi took Bo Ruoyou to Huang’s house. When he arrived at the Huang’s house, Cheng Yunzhi explained how he would treat Huang Lin. Master Huang was a little nervous when he heard it first, but he had no choice but to respond to those ordinary doctors who were unwilling to diagnose and treat the poison of the golden ointment.

"Let’s do it according to Brother Cheng. I heard that the Taiyuan Hospital has not found an effective way now. Lin'er has already given birth to death, and I dare not delay any longer. If Brother Cheng’s method is useful, then Cheng The brother is Lin'er's second parents."

Cheng Yunzhi waved his hand and explained the possible dangers of this method. Master Huang knew in his heart and thanked him again and again. However, he said bitterly, "I naturally believe in Brother Cheng, but there is no golden anoint at home. I heard that there are no more outside, and no one dares to sell it at this time. This is difficult to do."

Gold anointing has been completely banned in the capital, and the Huang family is no more than ordinary people. It is difficult to ask for favor. Bo Ruoyou said after hearing this: "I can try to help find some gold anointing."

Master Huang was naturally grateful, and soon he took their father and daughter to see Huang Lin.

Entering Huang Lin's bedroom, Bo Ruoyou saw a thin and depressed figure on the bed. Huang Lin slumped on the bed in disarray, and fell asleep with his eyes closed, but his body trembled from time to time and occasionally overflowed. He moaned with a cry, as if he had been tortured in a dream. There was still a white cloth wrapped around his forehead, and his face became more sallow, with no youthful vigor.

Master Huang whispered: "I was sleeping very unreliable. I put some calming pills in the water I drank in the morning, but using too much of these things is not good for my body. I don't know how long I can stay after this. It's a good age, if the future is better, people will be scrapped, I'm afraid it will be the same as death."

Huang Lin had a lot of bruises on his exposed wrists, most of which were caused by the onset of illness last night. Cheng Yunzhi asked for pulse lightly and asked some precautions before returning home with Bo Ruoyou.

"Youyou, are you looking for golden ointment from the yamen?"

Bo Ruo faintly nodded, "The yamen has confiscated a lot of golden ointment. It should be easy for me to find some. I just thought about it. The way the adoptive father said is quite a bit of a sword, but the more so, I'm afraid the more Surprisingly, if this method is useful, it can be applied to the entire capital and even the southwestern prefecture, and it can also benefit the people."

Cheng Yunzhi didn't seem to have expected such a long-term future, and he hesitated for a moment without saying anything.

Bo Ruoyou ordered Zhou Liang to prepare a carriage and quickly changed her clothes to go out. She wanted to go to the Yamen, but she didn’t go far. In the bottom of her heart, she worried about the Huo Wei Building and last night’s case. She knew that there was Huo Wei in the Huo Wei Building. The golden ointment sent by Qinghong, I don't know if the golden ointment is still there, "Liangshu, let's go to the Hou Mansion."

Uncle Liang turned his horse's head, and half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Wuzhaohou's mansion. The concierge was very familiar with her and immediately welcomed her into the door respectfully. Only when Bo Ruoyou asked, she knew that Huowei Tower was not in the Hou's mansion. There was a moment in her heart. In the empty space, he still walked in, and when he reached the gate of the main courtyard, he saw Father Fu quickly stepping out, "You are here!"

Bo Ruoyou knew what he was coming for, and Fu Gong said: "Oh, you said the golden ointment, I know where it is. Not only did the elder son put away the Lord Hou, but also the elder son who came to the mansion that day to bring it away. , But what do you want this thing for Youyou?"

Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "It's for my foster father to help people with illnesses."

She told the story of the Huang family again. Father Fu was slightly surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect Cheng Yunzhi to come up with such a cure. He didn't say much, and while sitting down with Bo Ruoyou, he said: "Hou The Lord came back last night, and when he saw his son, he left again. He hasn't come back yet."

Bo Ruoyou was startled, "Doesn't Lord Hou stay up all night again?"

Father Fu sighed, and suddenly rolled his eyes, walked to the door and ordered the attendant to invite Huo Weilou to come back. Bo Ruoyou was eager to stop him when he saw it. And Shizi only made a poisonous episode just now."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "The father-in-law will take me to see the son first."

The two of them came to the guest house together. The guest house was guarded by attendants, and the door was locked. At this moment, there was no sound, thin and suspicious. I didn’t make trouble, I just cried, and when the poison was over, I ordered a sedative incense and fell asleep. Master Ming prescribed a prescription and went to Chengnan today. He said that he could not figure out the clue just by looking at one patient of the world’s son. Go and see other people in the camp to see if you can work out a safe way."

Father Fu gently opened the door, and the two of them stepped lightly to the inner room. The inner room was dim and dull, with a faint scent lingering. Huo Qinghong curled up and slept on the couch. Although his eyes were closed, he still fell asleep. He was very unstable, and within two days he didn't see him, and he lost another circle.

Bo Ruoyou didn't dare to wake him up, and he came out with Father Fu for a moment, and Father Fu said distressedly: "I want to find short-sightedness when the poison is on the hair. After that time, I can't eat, sleep, and get beaten up. He can't stand this kind of simmering. For the time being, Young Master Ming's prescription is still warm tonic, but the prince can't drink it, half and half vomiting. He really suffers more than a serious illness, or kills with a blunt knife, only torture is left."

Suddenly, Bo Ruoyou felt that Cheng Yunzhi’s method was truly gentle. When he returned to the main courtyard, Bo Ruoyou asked about the situation of the poisoned patients in the city, and Father Fu sighed repeatedly when he said that, "The more the sick camper There have been more and more, it's almost like a plague, but there are still some people who don't want to go to the sick camp. There is no way for such a court, but they can only ask for their own blessings."

This disease will not heal by itself. I don’t know how many people are restless, Bo Ruoyou sighs, and asks more carefully, what kind of medicine is used in the sick camp, who is the most poisonous, and how often does it happen? She asked about this. , I also wanted to give Cheng Yunzhi some details, so that he would only see Huang Lin's omissions. As he said, the outside of the courtyard suddenly remembered the voice of the attendants saluting, and Bo Ruoyou got up and looked out, and saw Huo Wei Building stride. Come.

Father Fu smiled and looked at her, "It's still your reputation."

There was a sudden flash on Bo Ruoyou's face, and the person greeted him at the door, "Master Hou——"

Huo Weilou was still in the robe last night, her face was a little tired, Bo Ruoyou got closer, and smelled a faint **** breath. She moved slightly in her heart, but did not ask, Father Fu quickly understood her intentions. .

When Huo Weilou heard that Cheng Yunzhi wanted to help treat the illness, and the method was eclectic, he also became interested in her, and said to her: "You go to the study and wait for me."

Bo Ruoyou answered, Huo Weilou went to the bedroom to take a shower and change clothes.

Bo Ruoyou waited for a while before entering the study in Huo Weilou. His hair was wet, his face was less tired by three points, and he also changed into a thin silk shirt, which made him look inexplicably warm.

He walked to the side of the couch and took a seat, "Tell me more about your foster father's method."

Bo Ruoyou said again what Cheng Yunzhi thought, Huo Weilou thought for a while, "There are indeed some risks. No one at the Taiyuan Hospital has proposed such a method, but you can also try it. The situation of Chengnan's return is not very good. Some of the poisons were too powerful, caused a lot of troubles in the camp, and injured the people in the patrol camp. In extraordinary times, a little risk is acceptable. I have three boxes here, and I can give you all of them."

He got up and walked to the tall cabinet, Bo Ruo quietly followed, "You don't have to give it to me, just a box is enough. The foster father said that it won't be as large as they used to be in the past. ."

Huo Weilou heard this and took out a brocade box. Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and raised his hand to take it. When she got closer, she saw that Huo Weilou's hair was still dripping despite being half-armed, and she said: " Why doesn't Master Hou dry his hair?"

Where did Huo Weilou pay attention to this? He lowered his head and saw that the clothes on his shoulders were all wet, he walked to the door and told the attendant to take the towel. The attendant moved quickly, and soon brought it. Huo Weilou took the towel. Entering, looking at her steadily, and whispered: "You help me—"

Bo Ruoyou couldn't laugh or cry, and felt a little soft-hearted, so he pointed to the low couch in the distance, "Then Lord Hou, go and sit down."

Huo Weilou raised his lips, walked to the side of the couch and sat down by the armrest on the side of the couch. Bo Ruoyou took the veil and stood beside him, wiping his hair a little bit. Huo Weilou wrapped his hands in his arms and turned to look at her from time to time. His eyes were eager, and with some satisfaction, Bo Ruoyou calmly asked, "Yes, Lord Hou didn't return all night because of Master Song's case?"

Huo Weilou just remembered something, "I was about to tell you, I almost forgot."

After a slight pause, he sternly said: "Wei Quan recruited at dawn, saying that Song Yu was looking for him, in fact, for the gold anointing matter. He also said that the tea shop’s golden anointing was also led by Li Yuan."

Bo Ruoyou paused, "Master Song is going to buy it?"

Huo Weilou stared at him, "He said so, but I don’t really believe it. I went to ask people in the Song Mansion. They all said that Song Yu has no habit of consuming golden ointment, and as a member of the mansion, they have hardly heard of golden ointment. 'S name."

"Since I don’t use it, why would I buy it by myself? Before that, the golden ointment was a precious item of gold to the people in the capital, and the rich and powerful family even used it as a gift for others, if you say It was Master Song who suddenly wanted to try it on his own. It was too coincidental, and the cup is poisonous. There is no explanation for this."

Bo Ruoyou's hands were gentle. Although he was talking about the case, Huo Weilou squinted Shu Tai's eyes. For a while, his voice became softer, "He said that he didn't know where the poison came from. Tea guest, he put the suspicion on these tea guests, but after interrogating the other servants last night, he has identified two tea guests who were in the tea shop at the time. After the inquiry, they had nothing to do with Song Yu."

Bo Ruoyou twisted her eyebrows and carefully recalled what she had seen last night. When she thought of the last bitter cry of the shopkeeper, her heart sank. Huo Weilou continued: "Although he does not admit it, it does not matter. He admits it is. Li Yuan took the lead in the middle and started selling gold anoint privately, but Li Yuan had other opinions—"

Huo Weilou seemed not to shy away from telling her these confidential things, and then said: "Li Yuan said that the tea shop of the Wei family was originally another place in Beijing to dominate. He also said that although the Shen family relied on him, it also relied on him. Wei Quan, because Wei Quan has a clan brother who is a scholar of the household department, and Wei Quan has already invested a lot of money. Not only that, Wei Quan also wants to plant Beauty Smile outside the capital, so that he can leave the Shen family. You can also make more money from the raw materials you buy in the southwest."

Bo Ruoyou's hand movement stopped, "So, did he really cultivate a beautiful smile in the capital?"

Seeing her stop, Huo Weilou reached out behind him and grabbed her hand to let her continue. Bo Ruoyou shook his head and listened to him again: "He didn't confess, he just recognized that there was a seed of beauty in the store. Said that it was a plant that was a little curious and wanted a beautiful smile when he bought the golden ointment, but Li Yuan didn’t have any ready-made plants, so he gave him some fruits and seeds. Those things were put in his Accord. The reason why Song Yu got on his feet Some seeds were mostly left in the Accord."

Bo Ruoyou was a little depressed, "So he only believes that gold cream has been sold in the tea shop? But everyone knows this."

"Yes, he was afraid that this was also thought of, and he simply admitted it honestly. Anyway, selling gold anointing privately earlier is not a sin."

After Huo Weilou answered, seeing Bo Ruoyou not answering the conversation, he turned to look at her, and saw Bo Ruoyou's small face wrinkled, as if he was thinking about something, he raised his eyebrows, "What do you think of?"

Seeing that his hair was half dry, he pulled Bo Ruoyou to sit next to him, and then went to hold her cool hand. Bo Ruoyou suspiciously said: "The day Song Master went to see my uncle first, and my uncle was unhappy with him. Then he went to the tea shop to buy gold ointment. This is unreasonable, especially when he was poisoned to death. The murderer will always have a reason for the murder."

Speaking of Bo Jingqian, Huo Weilou looked at her with concern and said, "Your uncle has an accident, can anyone from the Bo family come to you?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded hesitantly, "I have looked for it, knowing that I am helping Hou Ye's autopsy, so I want to ask me to intercede, and by the way inquire into the cause of the case, but I have refused."

"Have they bullied you?" Huo Weilou asked again.

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but smile, "What kind of bullying?"

"Forcing you to come to me, or say something awkward."

Bo Ruoyou thought for a while, and honestly said: "It doesn't count, I have a clear attitude. They claim that they are innocent, and they will not really tear their faces and make a big fuss. That's it."

Huo Weilou thoughtfully, still frowned, Bo Ruoyou was too lazy to talk about Bo, and then asked, "Is my uncle's testimony still unchanged?"

Huo Weilou's eyes darkened, "It has changed. The account book details turned over from Qinshui County, he discovered something wrong when he was last year, but did not point it out. Later, he found that no one had noticed the entire household, so he knew that there was something in it. Not only that, Song Yu once gave him a lot of silver coins, making him open one eye on this matter, he thought that Song Yu is the peak, and can get money, and Wei Cang’s When money and food go in and out, there are always people fishing for oil and water, so I listened to Song Yu's words."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes opened slightly, and Huo Weilou continued: "If he only found out that he hadn't pointed it out, it could only be regarded as malfeasance, but now that he has accepted the money, it is corruption. This crime is not a small crime."

Bo Ruoyou hesitated to speak again, "Which way will the penalty be imposed?"

"At least this official position can't be kept."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, and Huo Weilou looked straight at her, and soon she said with a slightly relaxed expression: "I know, since the money is really collected, it should be sentenced according to the law." She frowned when she said. But Master Song really wanted him to stop being a member of the household office as a foreigner?"

Huo Weilou nodded, "He said so. If he really listened to Song Yu's words that day, he might not find him so quickly now. After returning that day, he went to find Lin Huai. Not only that, but also He drank a flower wine with several other officials in the household department, and wanted this person to cover up the account book for him. He asked others to unify the slogan, saying that the account book of Qinshui County was beyond his hands."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, thinking that a flower wine could buy people's hearts. It seems that his uncle is really a fool as an official.

Seeing her face in thought, Huo Weilou said again: "Wei Quan probably still has someone who hasn't recruited him, and went to the Wei family to find the son of the Wei family this morning, but heard that he was out of the city and the people sent to follow him out of the city. Before I came back, when I found someone, I would know if he had taken the golden ointment. As for how Song Yu was poisoned, we can find out the details sooner or later."

Sooner or later, you can find out the details...

When Bo Ruoyou heard this, a flash of light flashed in his mind. Song Yu saw Bo Jingqian and wanted to persuade him to leave the household. Later, he went to the tea shop, was poisoned in the tea shop, and then went to the opposite restaurant. It seemed to do it at will, but he left a piece of jade pendant in the restaurant.

If she had never found the jade pendant, then ten days later, the people in the restaurant would also find Song Mansion. On that day, he invited Chang Ning Hou and Li Yuan into the mansion, Li Yuan, Chang Ning Hou, and Wei Quan, They are all the dignitaries who sell gold anointing in the city.

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help looking at Huo Wei's corridor: "Master Hou, is there a possibility that Master Song's death was actually not a poisonous killing, but a suicide..."
