The Delicate Lady Coroner

Luozhou is in the northwest of Qingzhou, and it takes five or six days to get there. However, since there are emergency cases waiting, with Huo Weilou's resolute temperament, most of them want to speed up the whip regardless of day and night. The carriage couldn't get up quickly.

"Master Hou, do you want to rest tonight?"

From the early morning hours, apart from feeding the horses, I never stopped on the road. Seeing the sun drooping, the embroiderer came up to ask. Huo Weilou frowned slightly, and Mr. Fu said: "I’m afraid I don’t have to worry about these two days. Ming Gongzi and Xiao Shizi are still on the road, and Master Lin, the minister of the criminal ministry, is also very slow on the waterway. What if we went early?"

Listening to the words of Father Fu, Bo Ruoyou's eyebrows moved slightly. She didn't know who the son of the son was, but she understood the case of the Criminal Department. Not only did Wu Zhaohou personally come to the case of Luozhou, but also the Secretary of the Criminal Department went south from the capital. It can be seen that it is a serious case.

Huo Weilou turned his eyes, his gaze fell on the carriage covered by the vermillion paint. The carriage was gorgeous and strong, but it never stopped on this day. Although Bo Ruoyou didn't say a word, he was already pale by his face. He ate at noon. At that time, Huo Weilou knew that Bo Ruoyou had only eaten a small portion of the pancake, his eyes sank, "Go to the village and town in front and find a place to rest."

Father Fu responded with a smile, "Yes, not bad, but the old slave is exhausted following Master Hou all the way from Beijing to Qingzhou. Let's relax now. It's a case from ten years ago. How about a few more days of delay? "

Huo Weilou frowned lightly, raised his whip, and galloped forward faster.

Father Fu smiled and beat his horse and followed outside the carriage, and continued to talk to Bo Ruoyou. The journey on this road was really boring. When he was heading south earlier, he was a skilled embroiderer who said nothing. He has nothing to say so well, but now there is a thinner, and Father Fu is really happy, "Youyou, you said earlier that you asked for Master Hou, what do you want? If you say it to our family, then our family will give it to us. A few words of your kind..."

At the end of the day, Father Fu was even more kind to Bo Ruoyou. He asked her adoptive father how to call her at noon, and then called her faint as an elder. When Bo Ruoyou heard the words, the corners of her lips were slightly bent, "Don't bother father-in-law, because of wrongs. It’s hard to say what you usually ask for before the errand is done."

Father Fu raised his brows and said, "You must do your errands before you speak. Could it be that it has something to do with your tricks?"

Bo Ruoyou lowered his head and smiled, "It's okay for father-in-law to think so."

As the sun sets to the west, the golden afterglow falls over the mountains, and the more northwest, the thicker the remaining snow in winter. On both sides of the official road, the snow is layered, and it goes far away. Father Fu sits high on horseback, and sees thin ruoyou silently. I didn't ask, I just watched her cleverly smiled, her eyes embraced Shuangxue, her eyes softened for a while, "You are right to think so, Master Hou always rewards merits, but..."

After hesitating for a while, Fu Gong Gong's voice became a little serious, "But this case is not easy to handle."

Bo Ruoyou raised his head with doubts in his eyes, but Father Fu glanced at the Huo Wei corridor in front of him: "The official business is to let Lord Hou talk to you, but you don't need to be nervous. Lord Hou will bring you here. It’s important."

Bo Ruoyou answered with a solemn heart. Although he had expected this case to be extraordinary, now Father Fu said that, it was more difficult to handle than she had guessed.

When the last ray of sunset fell into the sky, a group of people entered a small town.

The embroidered clothing envoy of Pathfinder said: "Hoye, here is called Xiushui Town. There are more than 100 families in front of and behind, and there are two inns. The villain has already booked the Laifu Inn with many vacancies."

Huo Weilou nodded without saying much, and walked into the only long street in Xiushui Town.

Xiushui Town is remote, and the residents are mostly local people. Suddenly, when strangers appear, they all go out to watch. Fortunately, all the embroidered clothes ambassadors have changed to normal clothes today. This is not so terrifying. People pass by here.

Laifu Inn arrived soon, with a large wine flag waving in the wind. Outside is a large courtyard with a horse riding a horse. Walking inside is a small two-story building. Although it is simple, it is clean and tidy with gray tiles and white walls. If You's carriage entered the courtyard gate, a small servant greeted him immediately.

The curtain was lifted, and the young man graciously set the footstool, "See you, madam..."

Bo Ruoyou was about to get out of the carriage shortly, his face changed slightly when he heard this, and Huo Weilou had already reached the entrance of the main hall. Hearing this, he couldn't help but frowned and looked over.

Bo Ruoyou quickly said, "I am not a wife."

The little boy is very clever, "Ah...that's the young lady..."

The inn is in this town, and the guests travel from north to south. Most of the family members are accompanied by female family members. Therefore, the young man thinks that Bo Ruoyou who is sitting in the carriage is noble and must be a lady or a young lady.

Bo Ruoyou frowned helplessly. Father Fu was about to laugh and fell on the ground, coughing softly: "Don't recognize people, this is our lady."

The young man looked embarrassed for a moment, "The son is long and phoenix, the young lady is gorgeous and beautiful, and she looks like... Miss forgive me, it's a bad-sighted villain, please please inside—"

Huo Weilou stood at the hall door, his brows furrowed tighter when he heard the words, but he looked at Father Fu for a moment, he didn't say anything and entered the hall door, Bo Ruoyou naturally did not dare to recognize the young lady, and got off the carriage and looked a little hesitantly. Looking at Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu stepped forward and took her vainly, "Don't say so, everyone will treat you as our young wife on the way."

Bo Ruoyou suddenly thought of the scene where Zheng Xiaofei said she was Mrs. Hou Ye that night. With such a comparison, the young lady of Fu Gonggong did not look so terrifying, and the stern sight of Huo Weilou of Shi Cai fell on her. On her face, she knew that Huo Weilou must have been offended, the conscience of heaven and earth, is she happy to hear it?

When I entered the hall door, I saw the inn shopkeeper talking diligently in front of the Huo Wei Building, "There are three upper rooms, and it happens that the son and the lady are one for each person. This... the old man is also alone, and there are five and two. Waiting for the room, there is enough room for the big brothers, the dinner is sent to the room or is it used outside?"

Huo Wei Building has walked to the second floor, "Send to the room."

Huo Wei Building was walking in the wind, and Father Fu quickly followed with Bo Ruoyou. When he went upstairs, he saw Huo Wei Building stopped in the middle room before going to the room. He pointed to the one at the end, "Go there."

This was for Bo Ruoyou. She responded, and when she turned her eyes, she saw the shopkeeper looking at them strangely. It seemed that the relationship between the two was not like a brother and sister. Duke Fu pointed to the house at the end, "Go Go and see—"

However, at this moment, a man and a woman came in from the main entrance downstairs, both of whom were over thirty, and they were a couple. The woman frowned and said, "A good Dharma conference, if you don't say it, you can't do it. How can this be good?"

The man on the side leaned her on her waist and persuaded: "We can only come again next year, and it won't happen again. Let's go to Xiangguo Temple in the capital..."

Both of them had foreign accents and spoke loudly. After speaking, they realized that there were a lot of people in the hall. When they saw two embroidered clothes envoys with knives standing on the stairs, their expressions changed and they hurried back. Room now.

The shopkeeper looked back and saw that Bo Ruoyou and Father Fu were standing at the moment, and Huo Wei Building had not entered the door, so he smiled and explained in a low voice, "These two people lived in yesterday. They were going to ask for a child at Famen Temple in Qixia Mountain. , Because Famen Temple has a Ten Thousand Buddhas Conference in early February, but I only learned that when I walked here yesterday, it is said that the Buddhist Dharma Conference of Famen Temple will not be held this year. I stayed for one day today. I want to wait to see if the news will change. I plan to go back."

The shopkeeper said so far, "When the Famen Temple Dharma Conference is held every year, the inn in Xiaxia is also full every day. This year the Dharma Conference will not be held, and the inn in Xia is deserted."

Bo Ruoyou lived in Qingzhou for ten years, and she knew the fame of Famen Temple in Qixia Mountain, Luozhou.

The Great Zhou valued Buddhism and despised the way. Therefore, nobles respect the Buddha. The royal family has the habit of enshrining Buddhist temples. Zhoufo Temple.

But this Famen Temple was famous before Xiangguo Temple. When the Buddha was lighted, Famen Temple had the name of the world’s number one Buddhist temple, and this year’s Ten Thousand Buddhas Conference has spread more than a hundred. According to the customs of New Year, not only believers in the vicinity of Luozhou will come, but also people from the capital and even neighboring countries will come to worship and pray for blessings.

But why not do it this year?

Bo Ruoyou had some doubts, but Huo Weilou turned around and entered the house at this moment. Bo Ruoyou hesitated for a moment. He didn't say much. He should follow Huo Weilou and his party this time. He should be careful in every word and shouldn't ask her. Ask more.

Father Fu patted Bo Ruoyou's arm, "Go and rest, Youyou."

Bo Ruoyou blessed himself, turned and entered the room at the end of the corridor. It was the upper room, and the room was wide and comfortable. Bo Ruoyou had no chance to travel in recent years, and he was not a delicate person. She would be picky, but she was a woman, so she was kindly treated in the end. And the house at the end of the corridor was quiet and safe, and I don't know whether Huo Wei Building was intentional or unintentional.

The night was shrouded at this time, and Bo Ruoyou opened the window to see the remaining snow in the atrium of the inn’s backyard. Several old willows with knotted trunks and branches stood on the side of the pond. Buds emerging from above.

The dinner was delivered quickly, and Bo Ruo quietly ran out. Because she didn't see Huo Weilou summoning, she wanted to take a bath, but before she finished the bath, the door suddenly rang, and Bo Ruo sank suddenly into the tub. My heartbeat is a little flustered.

Father Fu said outside: "Youyou, come here for a while."

With a sigh of relief, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly responded, and hurried out to wipe and change his clothes. When he arrived at the door of Huo Wei's building, his hair was only loose and dripping with water.

Knocked on the door, and the next moment, the door opened.

Huo Weilou's mouth was slightly loose, and his body was a leisurely dark black cloak. The moment he saw Thin Ruoyou, his eyebrows moved slightly.

People who have just bathed, even their eyelashes seem to be wet, their cheeks are powdery, their lips are thin and red, and a few strands of ink are scattered on the cheeks, making this face brighter with bright eyes and teeth, cheeks to the side of the neck. The skin is moisturized, and the fragrance is slightly floating.

It's really ice muscle and bones, and snow is a god.

Bo Ruoyou's clothes were very neatly dressed, and he came out in a hurry, and his expression was a little panic. Huo Weilou's hand on the door tightened slightly, and he retracted his gaze and turned and walked in.

"Oh my God, why haven't my hair been dry yet." Fu Gongzheng was collecting the official documents that Huo Wei Building was carrying, and seeing Bo Ruo walk in wet, he sighed, "It's so cold outside, you are typhoid like this. "As he said, he went to the side and picked up a kerchief, pointed to the stool beside the round table, "Sit down—"

Bo Ruoyou just closed the door and hesitated when she saw it. She was indeed very cold. Although the weather has turned warmer these days, the residual snow has not yet melted. It was the coldest time at night, and there was no time to wipe her hair, so water dripped. She only felt very rude when she came out, but she didn't expect Father Fu to treat her so caring.

But she didn't dare to move, she just looked at the Huo Wei Building standing in front of the window in awe.

Huo Weilou was facing her sideways, his eyes also falling out of the rear window.

Father Fu laughed helplessly, stepped forward and pulled her onto a stool to sit down, "What are you afraid of Lord Hou? Who said you are not afraid of Lord Hou?"

Being exposed in person, Bo Ruoyou felt even more distressed. Unexpectedly, Father Fu wiped her head and said: "When we took care of the eldest princess back then, the eldest princess praised our single-handed hair combing craft..."

Thin as quiet as a light on the back.

The eldest princess is Huo Weilou's biological mother, and the sister of your majesty today. Father Fu takes care of the eldest princess. How can she be?

Bo Ruoyou was about to get up, and Father Fu pressed her down, "Don't panic, our family sees you now, just like the little niece, you don't have to see our family..."

Bo Ruoyou was very embarrassed, "The girl dare not be."

Father Fu didn't laugh, he just continued to wipe her hair, and Bo Ruoyou glanced at the back of Huo Weilou, "I wonder what Hou Ye ordered?"

Huo Weilou turned around now. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her with an inexplicable gaze. This gaze was both oppressive and a substantive intrusion. It was as thin as a heart that he saw. Seven ups and downs.

"Can you ride a horse?"

This question, Bo Ruoyou understood, the carriage was still too slow, and she was a bit of a drag on everyone.

Thin Ruoyou's lips pressed slightly, "Yes."

Huo Weilou said, "Riding away tomorrow, the case of Luozhou will not be delayed."

Father Fu also said at this moment: "Although the case is an old case, people have died in the past few days. This is anxious."

Father-in-law Fu was quite leisurely during the day, and perhaps received other news at night, and felt that his trip should be quicker, Bo Ruoyou answered, "The girl understands that the girl can ride a horse."

It seems that she was asked to come over for this matter. After she had given her instructions, Bo Ruoyou hesitated whether she should retire, but Mr. Fu said, "Master Hou, how about handing over the case?"

Huo Weilou thought for a while, walked to the book case and took a seat, "Just now you heard that the Famen Temple Buddhist Dharma Conference will not be held this year."

Bo Ruoyou's heart moved, and Lord Fu continued, "This time, the place we are going to is Famen Temple."

Huo Weilou asked again, "Do you know the relationship between Famen Temple and the royal family?"

There was some spread in Bo Ruoyou's mind, but he was not sure, so he shook his head and said, "Famen Temple is the most prestigious Buddhist temple in the previous dynasty. In addition to his long history and several eminent monks, he also Because he has an underground palace underground, and inside the underground palace, the Buddha's real body relics are enshrined."

Bo Ruoyou raised her eyebrows slightly, she had heard about it.

Father Fu continued: "When the previous dynasty of the underground palace was destroyed, it was almost destroyed by bandits. In our dynasty, the great grandfather renovated the underground palace and opened the underground palace once every thirty years. The body relics, and prays for blessings in order to pray for the peace and prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Ten years ago, it was the last time the underground palace was opened. At that time, His Majesty came in person and brought half of the court’s civil and military officials to this point. The whole blessing ceremony went smoothly, but on the last day, the relics were released again. When I returned to the underground palace, the relic disappeared. The relic was rumored to be the real body relic of the Buddha. The puja was originally intended to pray for the country and the people, but the relic was lost. At that time, his majesty became furious and became ill. ."

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help asking: "Is this to trace the relic?"

Huo Wei Road: "The relics have been tracing for the past ten years, but they disappeared together with the relics, and the master Jingkong of Famen Temple. Therefore, it has been rumored for many years that it was the master of Jingkong who had stolen away in order to seek the favor of the Buddha. I found the relic. But just a month ago, a skeleton was found in Famen Temple. According to his apprentice, the skeleton was mostly the Master Jingkong who had disappeared for ten years."

Bo Ruoyou suddenly realized that Luozhou reported to the court a month ago, and Emperor Jianhe ordered Huo Weilou to investigate the matter. Later, he was entrusted by Xinyang Hou before taking a detour, but it was ultimately the case of Luozhou.

Huo Weilou's voice became more serious, "If the skeleton is really a master of clearance, when he died is a doubt, and if we can find out what happened in the past, we may be able to find the long-lost relic. Over the years, The outside world does not know that the relic has long been lost, and the annual Ten Thousand Buddhas Conference is also open as usual. This time it is only when the bones are discovered that it will be suspended.

Bo Ruoyou immediately responded, and Huo Weilou said again: "In addition to the lord, there are also several courtiers who were responsible for arranging the relic prayer meeting ten years ago. After the incident that year, they were also included as suspects, but later The tracing was fruitless, and it was too difficult to make the matter worse, so they concealed the news. The news was sent back to the capital, and they have rushed to Famen Temple together."

Bo Ruo couldn't help but looked serious.

It is strange that the Huowei Tower was ordered to travel thousands of miles south for this case. There have always been reports of Buddha relics enshrined in the underground palace of Famen Temple, but the blessing ceremony held every 30 years is exclusively owned by the royal family, and ordinary people are not allowed to participate. In addition, it is only once in 30 years, so the reputation is not as great as the annual Dharma conference, but it is related to the royal family, the relics are lost, and the high priest may have already died. Come in person.

Seeing Bo Ruoyou's eyes condensed, Huo Wei said in the corridor: "This time you are focusing on bone testing. People who have been dead for many years have yet to be determined whether they are Master Jingkong or not."

Bo Ruoyou replied, and couldn't help asking: "But the public just said that someone just died?"

Huo Weilou's eyes darkened, "The former prefect of Luozhou was directly in charge of the case. Later, he was promoted to Beijing and served as the minister of criminal justice. His bones were summoned to Luozhou again. According to the news the night before, he fell to the back of Famen Temple and died just two days after arriving in Luozhou."

Bo Ruoyou's mind was tense. She hadn't seen the corpse yet, but after hearing a few words from Huo Weilou, she was aware of the strangeness. The old prefect fell off the cliff and died. Was this an accident or man-made?

"This case may be more complicated than the case of the Anqing Hou Mansion, and it involves the royal family and many courtiers. It can be regarded as a state affairs. You need to use your mind." After a pause, Huo Weilou said: "But if it can't be detected, Ben Hou will not blame you either."

Bo Ruoyou's hand in his sleeve was slightly clenched, "Yes, Mindv understands."

The case is over, but Father Fu is still wiping Bo Ruoyou’s hair. Huo Weilou stared at Father Fu for a moment, and his brows wrinkled slightly. Anqing Houfu's office is very different from following Huo Weilou now. By following it all the time, it will be better to know that the rumors about his gloomy and unpredictable temperament are true.

"Thank you father-in-law, if Lord Hou didn't order, the daughter of the people will leave."

Bo Ruoyou stood up wittily, only to hear Huo Weilou's "um", she blessed her body and thanked her father-in-law, then turned around and closed the door.

Father Fu looked at the kerchief in his hand with a bitter expression, "What did Hou Ye do so terrifying?"

Huo Weilou looked at him with cold eyes, "If your mother hears your young lady, what will happen to her?"

Duke Fu put down the napkin and sighed, "Hou Ye is to blame the old slave? The old slave just thinks that he is the same age, so he moved a little bit..."

Huo Weilou's expression did not loosen, "She has nothing to do with you and me. After this errand, she will go elsewhere. What will you do then? Fortunately, she knows how to advance and retreat, otherwise you will treat her kindly. , It will only harm her."

Although Duke Fu is a slave, his status and status are far higher than that of ordinary people. The average woman will be greatly moved by the care of his elders. In addition, he is still Wu Zhaohou's confidant, and he may have to give birth to other thoughts.

Fu Gonggong laughed: "Master Hou knows people's hearts best. Since you can see that Youyou is an obedient and observant, how do you worry about these? The old slave always feels that she has some fate with her. Shouldn't it be better to treat her a little more kindly? Besides, she is not under Lord Hou, so does the old slave still behave at her?"

Huo Weilou frowned at the words, but Father Fu stepped forward, with a tone that was two points more affectionate than Bo Ruoyou, "My Lord Hou, this is not a court or a battlefield, she is just a little girl. No need to weigh everything."

Hearing what he said, Huo Weilou couldn't show it no matter how sternly he was. He shook his head helplessly: "Long-winded—"

Yanbi stood up and stopped since he went to rest. His back is still quite broad, standing upright, and walking in the wind, but also vaguely youthful. Father Fu sighed, and his father was only twenty. There are three.

After a night of light sleep, Bo Ruoyou woke up just as there was a noise in the next room. She stood up to freshen up neatly, and when Huo Weilou came out of the house when she was carrying her baggage, Bo Ruoyou was busy and pleased her peace.

Huo Wei looked up at her upstairs and held back what he wanted to say. When they had breakfast downstairs, the group went out of the hall to prepare for the journey.

What Bo Ruoyou prepared was a docile dark horse with a strong physique but not tall. Huo Weilou turned on his horse, and looked at Bo Ruoyou in a blink of an eye. He looked like this, and the others included Father Fu and embroidered clothes. More than a dozen people inside also all looked at Bo Ruoyou.

Bo Ruoyou bit his teeth and climbed onto the horse's back tremblingly. Although his movements were a bit stiff, he sat firmly in the end, and he was still quite adept at holding the whip and the reins, and Huo Weilou retracted his gaze and drove away.

Without a carriage, everyone's footwork was much faster, but as soon as it was noon, Bo Ruoyou started to sweat coldly on his forehead.

She was good at horseback riding, but she hadn’t traveled far on horseback, but after walking for a long time, her arms seemed to be filled with lead, and her inner thighs felt a fiery pain. By the time of twilight, she felt that her whole body was not her own. Yes, and at this time, the Embroidery Envoy reported a thing that made her desperate.

"Master Hou, a hundred miles ahead, there are no villages and towns. I'm afraid it will be hard to find a place to stay tonight."

Huo Weilou said quietly, "Since this is the case, I will rush all night."

Bo Ruoyou only felt five thunderbolts, and at this moment, Huo Weilou looked over and said, "May you insist?"

Bo Ruoyou's face was sweaty, his heart swayed, and he nodded, "Yes."

Huo Weilou looked at her more for some reason before looking away. He sharply raised his whip and said, "Within three days, come to Luozhou!" The voice hadn't settled yet, and the person had galloped out of the ground.

Bo Ruoyou inhaled for a while, and the hand holding the rein trembled slightly. His thighs were so numb, and the pedals were a little unstable, but she opened the bow without turning her head back. If she couldn't say it at this time, she didn't know what would happen to the Huo Wei Tower. .

Bo Ruoyou's gritted teeth have not been loosened. When night falls, the speed of the team has not slowed down, and Huo Weilou will only slow down when there is an order to talk to the embroiderer. At other times Bo Ruoyou couldn't even see his back. Unknowingly, a round of clear moon rose to the sky, Bo Ruoyou's cold sweat fell down his cheeks, and his mouth was about to be wet with sweat.

I don’t know how long it took. She heard Grandpa Fu yelling at her twice. She woke up suddenly and looked up. It turned out that she had fallen behind the team ignorantly. She immediately thought Swagger went faster, but the hand that fell on her side was broken and couldn't lift it up. She shook her body on the horseback, and there was a loud noise in her ears, and even Father Fu couldn't hear what she said next.

Zhengjue's eyes were also turning black, but he saw a person and horse galloping towards her. The person and horse were extremely fast, and after a few moments of effort, they arrived in front of her. Through the clear moonlight, Bo Ruoyou could see that it was actually Huo Wei Building.

Huo Weilou frowned and looked at her, "Do you still insist on living?"

Bo Ruoyou gasped heavily and nodded subconsciously, but Huo Weilou didn't move for a while. He looked at her for a few moments and suddenly said, "Get off the horse."

Bo Ruoyou had lost his usual quick reactions at this moment, and his whole person opened his lips in a daze. After he understood the meaning of Huo Weilou, he released the rein to get off the horse, but as soon as she moved, a heart-wrenching sound came from her thigh. It hurts so much that her small face was wrinkled, and tears that were uncontrollable came out of her eyes—

Bo Ruoyou didn't realize that her eyes were wet, because she couldn't hold her saddle with her hand, and her body began to lose balance in the next moment. Seeing that she was about to fall down, Huo Weilou's eyesight quickly supported her, and this pull was really serious. A tear was squeezed from the corner of her eyes, which hurt.

She was radiantly stunned, so that Huo Weilou saw the teardrop at a glance. His eyes darkened, and the hand holding Bo Ruoyou stiffened for a moment, and he saw Bo Ruoyou's legs. Still stiffly stiff in his original appearance, he suddenly moved his brows and stretched out his hand to lift up the thin skirt.

Bo Ruoyou was about to faint in pain, but did not expect Huo Weilou to become a disciple at this time. She suddenly opened her eyes and squeezed Huo Weilou’s wrist, but Huo Weilou ignored her. Rebelling, he only looked at the thin ruoyou skirt, and the traces of blood on Yuebai's underpants frowned.
