The Delicate Lady Coroner

Chapter 37: Two-color lotus 09

Father Fu was leaning on the tea room seat and was also a little drowsy. When he woke up, he realized that it was twilight. He got up to look for the thinness and quietness. He just walked to the entrance and heard the sound of turning books inside. Father Fu smiled and walked in lightly, but Bo Ruoyou turned around when he heard the footsteps, seeming to be frightened.

Father Fu was surprised, "What's the matter?"

Bo Ruoyou breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "Somehow, there are always some surprises today, and Shicai always feels that someone outside the window is watching the girls."

Father Fu frowned and stepped towards the window. Today, the breeze was slowly and the window opened wide. However, he leaned out and looked around, but he didn't see any figure.

Bo Ruoyou said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Mindaughter has seen it. No one's, Mindaughter is too nervous."

Father Fu sighed, "You've been thinking about the case all day, of course, your mind is tense." While speaking, he looked at the book in her hand.

"You have been watching for so long, what can you find?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "There are many records about the relics, but they are all the same."

Fu Gonggong smiled and said, "It's not surprising. If you can put the Buddhist scriptures in Famen Temple, you can't have those strange words on them."

"However, Minnu found several books that record the secret treasures of the Buddhist family." Bo Ruoyou raised the Buddhist scriptures in Yang's hand, "This is a record of the Ashoka stupa seen in the underground palace today..."

Father Fu glanced at the sky outside, "It's getting late, why don't you go back and rest first?"

Bo Ruoyou hesitated for a moment, "The girl wants to find out if there is anyone who wrote the five-fold treasure letter."

Father Fu stepped forward and could not help but took down the Buddhist scriptures in Bo Ruoyou's hands.

Bo Ruoyou had no choice but to put down the Buddhist scriptures and followed Fu Gonggong out of the Buddhist scriptures building. However, as soon as he left the Buddhist scriptures building, the back of a monk in a gray monk robe flashed past the moon cave gate not far away, and Bo Ruoyou frowned. "stop--"

The figure did not stop, Bo Ruo faintly lifted the skirt and chased after her. When she ran to the door of the moon cave, she saw an empty space outside. Where was there any figure, Father Fu followed, "Who is it?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "I have never seen the face, I only saw a monk wearing a monk's robe in the temple. He was not short. If he was just passing by, he would definitely stop when he heard the girl shout. But when the girl shouted, he seemed more Anxious."

Father Fu's expression was also slightly dark, thinking of Shi Cai and Bo Ruoyou saying that someone outside the window seemed to be watching her, Father Fu did not dare to be careless, "Go, go back to the monastery first."

Bo Ruoyou nodded and followed Father Fu back to the monastery.

In the monastery, Huo Weilou was sitting in the upper room with Ming Guilan and saying something. Huo Qinghong took a monk stick and danced outside. It was strange to see Father Fu and Bo Ruoyou come back with solemn expressions, "You guys. What's wrong?"

Father Fu shook his head and walked straight into the main room, "Hou Ye——"

Huo Weilou and Ming Guilan stopped talking and looked up, Fu Gong said: "There seems to be someone in the temple watching Youyou."

"Watch her?" Huo Weilou got up and walked out of the house. He saw Bo Ruo standing outside, "What's the matter?"

Bo Ruoyoufu blessed the body and said, "Not long after I went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, I realized that there seemed to be people outside the window, but the girl went to see, but there was no one outside. He stopped, but he disappeared faster, seeming to have been guarding the outside without wanting to be discovered."

Huo Weilou frowned, Ming Guilan turned the wheel and reached the door, "Can you see who that person is?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "Never, I only saw a back." After thinking about it, Bo Ruoyou said: "It is not quite similar to the three masters of Juehui, Luefan, and Juehui that he saw today..."

Huo Weilou said solemnly: "From now on, you can't walk alone in the temple. Everyone knows that you will have an autopsy. Under the fear of the murderer, if it will be against you, you must report where you want to go."

Bo Ruoyou nodded hurriedly.

The sky was already dim. After dinner, the night fell. After halfway through the hour, Luke, who visited the foothills of the Houshan Mountain, returned. As soon as he entered the door, Luke said: "Master Hou, there is a major discovery!"

Ming Guilan and Huo Qinghong were both here, Huo Weilou heard the words and asked Father Fu to call Bo Ruoyou and Lin Huai, and then Lu Kecai said: "There are now seven farmhouses living in the foothills of Houshan, five of them, in the past. They used to be clay workers when they were shaping the Buddha. According to them, they were not able to make the Buddha and could only help with some drudgery. The two statues of the Buddha were both the one invited at the time. The craftsman surnamed Zuo made it. It is rumored that he is a good Buddha sculpturer and he has also made a set of Luohan statues."

"They didn’t know the abnormality of the Buddha sculpture back then. Because their home was at the foot of the back mountain, they were all at sunrise and sunset. They went back home as soon as it got dark. Later, the Buddha sculpture was finished and the workshop was demolished. All received their wages, and another half a year later, the temple was going to plant birch trees, but it was a busy farming season, and there were only two households with seven or eight people going up the mountain to plant trees."

At this point, Luke's expression was lifted, "It was from these two families that his subordinates found Master Jingkong's prayer beads!"

He beckoned, an embroidered clothes clerk opened a small baggage, and the bag was opened. Inside were dozens of sandalwood beads, each of which was engraved with Buddhist scriptures, just like the ones found in the corpse. To.

Huo Weilou looked at it, "They picked it up when they planted the tree?"

Lu Ke hurriedly said: "Yes, it has been a little half a year. The site of the demolished workshop is deserted. Trees are planted in the temple. Naturally, we need to shovel grass and loosen the soil. The two families live in close proximity, and the relationship is good. At that time, I dug up the earth and found the Buddha beads. I guessed it might be something from the temple. It could be seen that they fell outside, so I hid the Buddha beads privately, and regarded them as some Buddhist treasures. Enshrined with the ancestral tablet, these years, it has never been revealed by anyone."

Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and counted the beads, "Not enough, there should be some missing in the soil."

Lu Ke said, "It is true. They have searched in the nearby soil, and they can find a few of them. But then they dare not let the people in the temple know, so they dare not look for them blatantly. If I can report this to the temple, I'm afraid that the murder of Master Jingkong will be revealed long ago."

Huo Weilou asked again: "Did you say where you found it?"

"It's on the east side of the workshop's latrine, which is not far from the place where you can go to see in the daytime. At that time, half a year later, the latrine also collapsed. They filled it with soil and planted trees directly on it." Lu Ke finished his answer and said: " Lord Hou, in this way, the place where Master Jingkong was killed can be determined, but how did the murderer lead Master Jingkong there?"

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, "At that time, the case of the loss of the relic was still being investigated, and most of it was related to the case."

Bo Ruoyou heard the words: "The man who murdered Master Jingkong back then used cruel methods. This time Master Feng was killed, and the murderer was also quite a man of force. Although Master Feng is old and not tall, he is still a man. There are a lot of bruises left on Master Feng. Is it possible that the murderer back then and the murderer now are the same person?"

Huo Weilou narrowed his eyes, "As far as Benhou knows, Yue Mingquan martial arts is very good, Wu Yu also has some skills, only Taichang Temple Qing Wang Qingfu has ordinary skills, these few people were in the temple when Master Jingkong disappeared, if it is to be considered suspicious. The person of Jingming cannot be ruled out."

Huo Weilou looked at Lin Huai, "When Jingming asked the court for the position of presiding, who did it?"

Lin Huai said: "The exact news is still difficult to know, but the Royal Buddhist Temple has always been supervised by the Ministry of Ritual and Taichang Temple. The relic ceremony is also arranged by the Ministry of Ritual and Taichang Temple."

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the world's ritual system and tribute law, Taichang Temple is responsible for the royal ancestral temple worship, Famen Temple handed over to Beijing, these two places must be known, of course, based on the circumstances at the time, Jingming is indeed the best host.

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment. There was neither evidence nor much doubt. He had already gained a lot in the first day when he came to Famen Temple, so he didn't need to rush for success, so he asked everyone to stop and check again the next day.

Lin Huai and Bo Ruoyou withdrew, Huo Weilou looked at Huo Qinghong and said, "You guys also go and rest."

Huo Qinghong responded, pushing Ming Guilan towards the outside. They came late. This monastery was no longer enough. They had to live in another courtyard. Huo Qinghong stood in the courtyard, looking at the house where Bo Ruoyou lived, and then took a look. The Huo Wei Building, which was delivered to the door, always felt weird, "I didn't expect that one day there would be a woman in the yard of Big Brother."

Ming Guilan couldn't help laughing, Huo Weilou frowned helplessly, and turned to go inside the house.

"Okay, let's go, you don't know the temperament of Master Hou."

Huo Qinghong murmured, "Then the question is, what kind of woman in this world can make my elder brother tempted? My eldest brother is not too young, and Lin Zhao is married, and the second majesty is about to get married..."

Ming Guilan couldn't laugh or cry, "You are worried about Master Hou. It's not bad if you don't let Master Hou worry about you."

Huo Qinghong was very dissatisfied, and while muttering a quarrel with Ming Guilan, he left the monastery.

Early the next morning, when Huo Weilou got up, he saw that there were two embroidered ambassadors in the courtyard, and Mr. Fu came over and said, "Master Hou, Youyou went to the Buddhist scripture pavilion again early in the morning. An embroidered dressmaker followed."

Huo Weilou raised his brows and glanced at the sky outside, only to see the light just now, so he hesitated and asked, "Did you have breakfast?"

Father Fu smiled, "If you use it, don't worry."

Huo Weilou also took breakfast, and then took embroidered clothes to the morgue’s yard. Not long after, Yue Mingquan and three people came one after another. Huo Weilou asked about the incident again. Ten years later, the three of them I don't remember many details, but the words are all serious, even Huo Weilou can't find any mistakes or omissions for a while.

...

In front of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Lin Zhaogang brought two monks into the door, and found that someone had arrived earlier than him. Seeing the embroidered clothes envoys guarding the door, Lin Zhao thought it was the Huo Wei Tower, but as soon as he entered the door, he only saw a beautiful one. The figure is standing under the bookshelf.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Bo Ruoyou turned around, seeing that it was Lin Zhao, and he was so happy.

Lin Zhao came up, "Why is the girl still looking at these? Didn't you find it?"

"I found it, but now I am looking at the records of Buddhist secret treasures and artifacts, and dare to ask the son, are these two types of classics carved here?"

When Bo Ruoyou asked like this, Lin Zhao thought for a while and walked back with Bo Ruoyou, "You come with me."

The two walked past two rows of bookshelves, and Lin Zhao pointed to a bookshelf in front of him and said, "There are many records of ancient books, Buddhist secret treasures, Buddhist rituals, teaching doctrines, etc., all here."

Hundreds of classics are filled with bookshelves. Although they are only the tip of the iceberg in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion, they are still too much for one person. Lin Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou, "I'm afraid the girl won't come over."

Thin Ruoyou's lips bend slightly, "It's okay."

Seeing Bo Ruoyou's persistence, Lin Zhao didn't know her well and naturally didn't have much to say, so he turned to another room to decorate the scriptures. Bo Ruoyou brought a shelf and stood on it and began to look through it.

...

Huo Weilou repeatedly asked the matter of the past several times, and Yue Mingquan couldn't help but said: "Hou Ye is suspicious of the three officials?"

Huo Weilou did not hide it, "When Jingkong died, the three of you were in the monastery. Now Feng Lun is dead, and the three of you are also in the monastery. It has to be suspected that many things in the ceremony were arranged by the three of you. Hou Cha asks to be more rigorous, so as to clear up the doubts of the three of you."

Yue Mingquan said with a bitter face: "Hou Ye should do errands impartially, but he does not harm people. I heard that we have found the place where the killing was clear. What clues might we find there?"

Yue Mingquan is a rough person, and naturally the most uncomfortable, Huo Wei said: "After ten years, the forest has changed a lot, and most of the sandalwood has already decayed. It makes no sense to look for it."

Seeing that the three of them were also frustrated by the question, Huo Weilou waved his hand, "You first step back, and if you have any questions, you will be called again."

Yue Mingquan heard this as if he received an amnesty for a while, and he saluted him to withdraw. Soon Wang Qingfu and Wu Yu came out. Wu Yu sighed, "Ah, it's hard to handle. The weather is good today. Brother Wang, why don't we go to the pagoda on the top of the mountain? Look, it's also relieved."

Wu Yu and Wang Qingfu had a good relationship, and they had this appointment. After talking about it, they realized that they ignored Yue Mingquan, and then said: "General Yue wants to go together?"

Yue Mingquan glanced at the sky, "I won't go."

Wu Yu was not surprised. The three of them left the yard together. Father Fu saw this scene in his eyes, a little amused. When he entered the door, he saw Huo Weilou's eyes darkened, and said, "Master Hou is also relaxed. , Learn from three adults, how to be a errand rather than a errand, why bother to be so tired."

Huo Weilou raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, his eyes swept away and asked, "Where is Hong'er?"

Father Fu smiled and shook his head, "Still asleep, Young Master Ming got up early in the morning and asked a monk in the monastery for two books about Buddhist secret medicines to read."

Upon hearing the book, Huo Weilou asked, "Bo Ruoyou is still in the Jingang Pavilion?"

Father Fu nodded, and Huo Weilou's eyes were a little dark. Suddenly, he stood up and walked out. Father Fu hurriedly followed, and went straight out of the courtyard of Huo Weilou. Father Fu saw the direction he was walking, but he was not hiding. Jingge!

"Master Hou go to see Youyou?"

Huo Weilou was noncommittal, but acquiesced.

When the two arrived outside the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the two embroidered clothes ambassadors immediately came up to salute, and said, "The thin girl is still inside and has not come out. Young Master Lin was here earlier, and Shi Cai just left."

Huo Weilou nodded and entered the door.

As soon as he entered the door, there was a scent of books rushing toward his face. Huo Weilou looked around, but he did not find Bo Ruoyou, and he concentrated a little. Then he heard some noise in the depths of the Jinglou, and he stepped inside. The footsteps were already light, and at this moment, it was not obtrusive to fall in the Jinglou. Rows of bookshelves swayed by his side. Only when he reached the end, Huo Weilou saw Bo Ruoyou.

The wooden ladder leaned against the bookshelf, Bo Ruoyou had reached the highest position, but she could not get the top row of books even though she stretched out her hand. She even stood on her toes on the wooden fence, Huo Weilou brows. A wrinkle, "You should—"

You beware of falling down.

Huo Weilou wanted to remind her, but in the past two days, the thin mind was tense. He suddenly made a sound and frightened her. She shook her and slammed her feet into the air. Fall down!

Bo Ruoyou whispered in fright, the person fell on his back, and the wooden ladder was also knocked down by her. In the clanging sound, one arm came up, and the next moment, she fell into a generous embrace.

Huo Weilou hugged her horizontally, and he turned his back to the bookshelf to stabilize himself.

Bo Ruoyou tilted his head and looked at Huo Weilou. He never recovered for a while, but at this moment, the fallen wooden ladder hit the bookshelf, and the two books that Bo Ruoyou had read but did not put up were from the top. When she fell down, Huo Wei Building was turned back and could not be seen, but Bo Ruoyou could see clearly. Her expression changed and she subconsciously raised her hand to hug Huo Wei Building. She protected Huo Wei Building's back with one hand and him with the other. On the top of the head, looking from a distance, the posture is quite lingering.

Bo Ruoyouren was buried on the side of his neck, and only felt that a few books hit the back of her hand before falling on the ground. The Buddhist scriptures were all two to three inches thick, so it was not light to hit it like this. Her sore eyebrows jumped. When I raised my eyes, I saw Huo Weilou looking at her with gloomy eyes.

Bo Ruoyou's palpitations did not disappear, and he gasped a little faster. Seeing Huo Weilou's expression was condensed and difficult to understand, he tremblingly retracted his hand, and the person was two minutes away. He was about to make Huo Weilou put her down. The voice rang.

"you……"

"this……"

Bo Ruoyou turned his eyes suddenly, and saw Father Fu and Huo Qinghong standing around the corner without knowing when! Her expression changed and she immediately made a profit. Huo Weilou naturally saw both of them, but his brows and eyes were calm, and Bo Ruoyou calmly put down Bo Ruoyou.

Bo Ruoyou took a step back and stood, with his hands folded in front of him, as if to explain, he constricted his eyes and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your help."

The wooden ladder fell to the ground and the books were messy. It’s not hard to imagine. Father Fu and Huo Qinghong somehow felt that something was not right, but Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou’s hand in front of her, her skin as delicate as porcelain. Although the palms of both hands are a bit rough, there is no trace of blemishes on the back of the hands. Therefore, the redness and swelling the size of peach pits is particularly shocking.

It was just protecting him from being smashed by a book.

Huo Weilou felt unbelievable. Bo Ruoyou, who had just been frightened, had the intention to protect him. What if the booklet was heavy, but what about it?

When does Wu Zhaohou need a woman to protect him?

Father Fu came up to support the wooden ladder, "How did you do it, are you okay with Youyou?"

Bo Ruoyou subconsciously put the back of his painful hand into his sleeve, "It's okay."

Huo Weilou saw it again. He stared at Bo Ruoyou and didn't speak for a while. Huo Qinghong picked up the book on the ground, "It's such a thick book. I heard that you saw today from yesterday. What are you looking for?"

Bo Ruoyou said: "Look for the record of the secret treasure in the temple."

Huo Qinghong looked at this deserted library, especially the back of it, which is a bit gloomy, "You have too much perseverance, I am here, and I definitely can't wait for a stick of incense."

Bo Ruoyou didn't know how to respond, so he had to honestly say: "The girl is stupid and can't think of another way."

Huo Qinghong said again: "You work so hard, but will there be any rewards?"

Bo Ruo paused for a while, "Now the girl just wants to do the errands well."

Huo Weilou took a deep look at her, "What did you find?"

Bo Ruoyou then raised his head, frowned and replied, “I haven’t found any clues related to the case yet, but it’s also a bit strange. According to the record, the five-fold treasure letter enshrining the Buddha's relics could not be found. Hou Yedang still remembered that there was a three-fold treasure letter in the back room of the underground palace. There are three relics after passing away. The first letter is the iron tower-shaped box we see, the second is the obsidian coffin, and the third is the jade coffin at the door of the pot. There are detailed records of this object, and the source structure is very clear, but there is no record of the most precious five-fold treasure letter."

"If this five-fold treasure letter is also recorded, Minnu suspects that it must record the structure of the square lock on the copper box and the key shape, but Minnu searched it all over but couldn't find it. Now, only the top row remains. I haven't read the Buddhist scriptures."

Bo Ruoyou looked at the top row of Buddhist scriptures with high hopes in his eyes. Huo Weilou straightened the wooden ladder, stood one step up, and reached out to get the top row of Buddhist scriptures. After flipping, she knew that several Buddhist scriptures did not have what she was looking for. After reading dozens of them, she still found nothing.

Bo Ruoyou said with a bitter face: "Could it be that the treasure letter is precious, and the ancient books recorded in the temple were destroyed? Or, put it elsewhere?"

Huo Weilou took the booklet in her hand, put it back on the shelf and said, "The Tibetan scriptures are the main place of Buddhism. It is unlikely that they will be placed elsewhere, or... they were taken away by someone with a desire, Relic. If the copper box is stolen, there is no trace of damage on the copper box. The thieves usually use the key to open it. Since the key shape of the copper box may be recorded in the Buddhist scriptures, those who want to steal the relics will naturally start with the inconspicuous Buddhist scriptures. "

After putting the book, Huo Weilou instructed Father Fu, "Go and find Jingming."

Father Fu turned and went out. Huo Qinghong was not happy about this place, and followed to leave. Bo Ruoyou had planned to go out behind Huo Wei Building, but saw that he hadn't moved for a while.

The next moment, Huo Weilou turned around and walked two steps towards her, "Extend my hand to Benhou to take a look--"
