The Delicate Lady Coroner

Chapter 41: Two-color lotus 13

When Bo Ruoyou said this, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Huo Weilou stared at him, "Speak in detail."

Bo Ruoyou pondered for a moment, and cautiously said: "Back then, there were two murderers. We have speculated that if Master Feng was also a murderer, then he was the one who injured Master Jingkong with a sharp weapon. As a result, now there are only two murderers left. A murderer is at large, but these few days of post-mortem and bone examination, plus a few minor details, have made people think that the previous inference may be wrong."

After a pause, Bo Ruoyoucai said, "Father-in-law Shicai said, that day Lord Wu and Lord Wang invited General Yue to see the pagoda together, but General Yue looked at the sky and refused. If the sky never changes that day, maybe There was nothing, but it happened to be raining that day. Lord Hou should remember that when we saw the two adults in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the afternoon, their hair buns were still wet, because when we went to see the pagoda It's raining."

Lin Huai frowned, "Do you mean that Yue Ming can watch the astronomical phenomena? And the person who stole the relics at the beginning also saw the astronomical phenomena, so it was decided that it would rain on that day, and the law of theft was established?"

If Bo Ruoyou nodded, Lin Huai was a little skeptical, "But Yue Mingquan and Wu Yu didn't have a good relationship at first, and the refusal that day might be just a coincidence."

Bo Ruoyou said, "Master Lin's words are reasonable. It may be a coincidence. But Lord Hou also said earlier that Master Jingkong did not necessarily find Feng Lun and Wu Yu at the beginning. Not only that, but he may also I was suspicious of these two people, instead I went to find General Yue and Lord Wang, who were not familiar with him on weekdays and seemed to have nothing to do with stealing Buddhist things."

"General Yue is a military commander. Although Lord Wang is a civil official, he was in his prime of life. It was very common for him to use some swords and sharp weapons. This is quite compatible with the situation when Master Jingkong was killed."

Huo Weilou stared at him, "Do you still doubt Wang Qingfu?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded again, "I only learned today that Lord Wang came from Qiangzhou, and Qiangzhou is the home of juggling. Although not everyone in Qiangzhou knows how to juggle, Lord Wang grew up in Qiangzhou and should be very familiar with juggling. I am familiar with the fact that if the relics were stolen at that time, it was really a blinding method of the Tibetans in the government. The people thought that this method might be what Lord Wang thought."

Father Fu was stunned, "One understands tricks and the other can look at astronomical phenomena. It is indeed possible, but...the two of them are not familiar with each other. On the contrary, Lord Wang and Daren Wu have known each other for many years."

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "This is just a representation. When the girl came to the temple with Lord Hou that day, she saw Lord Wu and Lord Wang express their friendship. Not only that, General Yue was also a little dissatisfied with this——"

Huo Weilou narrowed his eyes and remembered that Wang and Wu emphasized that they were traveling together. For a while, Yue Mingquan, who had no testimony, became more suspicious. At that time, everyone would think that Wang and Wu were the same.

"But today, the few words of General Yue made Minnu feel very weird."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes were calm, "Master Hou ordered the three of him to be tried in the morgue's yard. After the three of them arrived, General Yue was the first to enter. After he came out, there seemed to be resentment in his heart. Later Master Wu said Hou Master’s questions were mostly due to the clues obtained from the post-mortem examination of the Minnv. Afterwards, General Yue said that Minnv’s post-mortem method was very powerful, but he did not ask Minnv how the examination was done. At that time, Master Jingkong’s bones were steamed and roasted. , The bone color has changed, but among those present at the time, only General Yue did not follow to the White Birch Forest. Since he had never followed, naturally I don’t know how the people’s females had their bones tested—"

"Later, when the two masters, Le Fan and Jue, came, they first saw the changes in Master Jingkong’s bones, and they asked what was going on. In contrast, General Yue’s words seemed even more strange. It seems that he knows how Minnu undergoes a bone test."

"After the lady of the people went to the white birch forest to put the bones in the cellar, Lord Hou and the two adults both left. After that, did Lord Hou see General Yue?"

Huo Weilou stared at him, "Never."

He already understood what Bo Ruoyou meant, and then continued: "None of us have ever seen Yue Mingquan, and the only people who saw your bone test at that time were Wang Qingfu and Wu Yu who went back to their yard. There were two hours of effort in between. In the meantime, one of his two had met Yue Mingquan and told him how to examine your bones."

Bo Ruoyou stared at Huo Weilou with clear eyes, "That's right! Lord Wang and Lord Wu seem to have a good relationship, but it is very likely that one of them has already known General Yue, and looks unfamiliar in front of others. No one would have thought that it was them who really colluded for evil."

Father Fu frowned, "But isn't it possible for Master Wu? He will do laundry every day, and his martial arts will not be bad..."

Bo Ruoyou said: "The girl still remembers the first night she came. During the post-mortem examination, Mrs. Wu was the first to gag and then went out. Later, he talked about his laundry, but also said that he likes to clean. There are some people in the world. I really have a hobby of cleaning, so just looking at laundry is not the biggest suspicious point. Moreover, Lord Wang said that Lord Wu was doing laundry."

Huo Weilou also raised his eyebrows, "Wang Qingfu seems to be speaking for Wu Yu, but there are hints in his words. When interrogated later, he emphasized that Wu Yu likes Buddhism and walks close to the sky. If you follow previous guesses, you will naturally Suspect Wu Yu even more."

Huo Weilou’s words further affirmed Bo Ruoyou’s inference. If Wang Qingfu’s relationship is really good and it is Yue Mingquan who wants to cover up, it would be the smartest way to do evil with him on the face, but direct the spear to Wu Yu in private. It is a pity that Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou have seen clues.

Lin Huai's expression first lifted, and then frowned: "But there is no evidence right now..."

This is mostly inference. If there is no evidence, Yue Mingquan and the two naturally want to quibble as they wish, but Huo Weilou's lips are coldly raised, "It is not difficult for them to be suspicious of them."

He said and told Luke: "Go to check Yue Mingquan’s birth, and check him after the relic ceremony ten years ago. He was a general soldier in Luozhou before. If he could really look at the sky, he must have been in the army at that time. It has been revealed that this is very close to the garrison in Luozhou, and you can go back and forth in one day."

The marchers often depend on the time of day. If Yue Mingquan wants to perform, he will definitely not hide this skill.

Luke took the order and personally led people down Qixia Mountain. Inside the house, Lin Huai asked in confusion, "But if it were Yue Mingquan and Wang Qingfu, why did they steal the relics?"

Huo Weilou narrowed his eyes, "In the end, the relic is the treasure of Buddhism. There are too many legends. If you really believe it, even if you don't believe in Buddhism, you will take a risk. You have been in officialdom for a long time. Such things are not uncommon."

Lin Huai's expression was a bit complicated for a while, Huo Weilou pondered for a moment and said: "Wang Qingfu was the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and was later promoted to Taichang Temple. It is not surprising that it took at least five or six years of work during this period."

Lin Huai also pondered: "Master Wang has always been introverted and unassuming in Beijing, but I can't see that it is someone who wants to steal the relics to ask for wealth or invaders."

Huo Weilou frosted the black jade finger on his thumb, "Since the greatest possibility is that the two of them are colluding in private, then only one of them is required to tell the truth."

Huo Weilou's eyes flashed by, and he quickly ordered: "I will discuss it when Luke comes back. You don't have to mention this to other people." With that, Huo Weilou looked at Huo Qinghong, "No need for Guilan. carry."

Huo Qinghong immediately raised his hand and swore, "Don't worry, brother, I won't say anything!"

It was late, but Huo Wei felt a sense of assurance on the floor. He unhurriedly caused everyone to retreat to rest, and increased the supervision of Yue Mingquan's three people. Tonight, these three people must not step on it. Step out of the respective door.

All three of Yue Mingquan were officials in the middle of the court, and the lowest was Grade 4, so they were not easy to treat. Therefore, even if the embroidered clothes ambassadors were guarded, they were courteous and not rude, but this afternoon, Yue Mingquan’s three-person courtyard was much larger. Dozens of embroidered clothing ambassadors surrounded the house, but even the meals were delivered by the embroidered ambassadors. Seeing this situation, don’t say that there is a ghost in your heart, that is, there is no ghost in your heart. There is a sense of panic. Emperor Jianhe gave Huo Weilou the right to behead first and then play. If something happens, Huo Weilou wants to deal with all three of him. However, none of the three of Yue Mingquan could sleep peacefully this night.

The guards were tightly guarded until the evening of the second day, and the three of them could not get out of the room. Although they had food, the embroidered clothes ambassadors changed their previous respectful attitude. At this moment, they treated each other coldly and did not answer any questions, which made the three of them suffer. , If there are no major clues, what about Huo Weilou? Thinking of this, the three had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

When the night fell, Luke walked into Famen Temple from the bottom of the mountain, and when he arrived in front of the Huowei Tower, he said a little excitedly: "Hou Ye, General Yue really knows the sky! He used to follow a Taoist priest in his youth. After two years of apprenticeship, I learned this technique. At the beginning I entered the barracks and was re-used because I could see the astronomical phenomena. Later I became a general soldier, and because I knew this technique was quite popular. This technique marches to war."

If there are such talents in the army, Huo Weilou will use them under his command. He is not surprised when he hears that, "With the evidence, it is not unreasonable to suspect him."

Lin Huai was waiting by his side, hearing the words: "What if he still refuses to admit it? Although he looks bold and rude, but he is a soldier in the end, his temperament is mostly firm, if he insists that it has nothing to do with the things of the year... "

Huo Weilou's lips slightly mentioned, "If he is the only murderer in the world, it would be difficult to deal with, but now there is Wang Qingfu, and Wang Qingfu is his weakness."

Lin Huai frowned, "If this Lord Wang really has something to do with things back then, then he is also a very simple person..."

When Wang Qingfu came to Famen Temple this time, he was always calm and steady. Later, the suspicion was brought to Wu Yu without a trace, as if he had been with Wu Yu for many years because he wanted to make him a scapegoat at this moment. I feel that Wang Qingfu is not only calm, but also unfathomable and frightening.

Even so, if there is no direct evidence, how can he confess?

Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes looked at Lu Ke, "Do you know how to do it?"

Luke nodded, "Subordinates understand."

...

As night fell, Yue Mingquan waited in the house anxiously. For some reason, a huge panic was born in his heart, as if something would definitely happen tonight.

The night sky outside the window was dark, without stars and moon, the more it made him feel more gloomy, and the embroidered clothes ambassadors outside the house guarded him all day and night. By this time, there was no looseness. Yue Ming held his waist with all hands. The short dagger, but his fingertips trembled slightly, even with martial arts in his hand, even with a weapon in his hand, how could he be the opponent of the embroiderers outside?

Thinking of this, Yue Mingquan pressed **** the dagger.

Keep your breath, not this step yet.

"boom--"

Suddenly there was a loud sound, and Yue Mingquan was so scared that Yue Mingquan stood up suddenly, and when he looked at the door, more than a dozen embroidered clothing users hit the door and entered. Yue Ming's whole body became stiff, "You...what are you doing? ?"

The embroidered clothes in front made his eyes look at Yue Mingquan coldly, "Master Hou invites General Yue to go for an interview."

Yue Ming "cocked" in his heart, but he forced himself to calm down, "If you ask questions, you will be the court commander at any rate. Why are you so rude." After that, he pretended to be calm and brushed his robe. Go out without hesitation.

However, when he passed the leading embroiderer, he was stopped by raising his hand.

The embroiderer touched his waist and removed the dagger from his waist. Yue Mingquan hesitated for a moment before putting on an angry expression, "What are you doing? This thing will always be worn on him, but Nothing to carry with you."

The embroiderer sneered, "The general doesn't need to say much. If you have any words, I will say it in front of Lord Hou."

Such behavior has almost regarded him as a prisoner. Yue Mingquan's expression was a little ugly, but he had to turn around and walk outside. His steps were a little vacant, but his back was straight. He just walked to the entrance of the Huowei Building's Buddhist Temple and saw Lu Ke came out with an embroiderer all the way, looking at the direction they were going, it seemed to be the direction to Wu Yu and Wang Qingfu's monastery.

Yue Mingquan's eyelids twitched fiercely.

The embroiderer gave Yue Mingquan a push, "What are you looking at? Both adults, Wu and Wang, have asked about it, and you will be sent to General Yue."

Yue Mingquan is like falling into the ice cellar, "Have you asked?"

The embroiderer pushed again, but did not answer again, Yue Mingquan walked into the yard with heavy steps.

Tonight, the yard was brightly lit, and dozens of embroidered clothing ambassadors were guarded in the yard, each wearing a knives, with a cold expression. Just looking at this formation, it felt quite horrible. Yue Mingquan gritted his teeth and walked slowly towards the front door.

As soon as he entered the door, it was closed from the outside.

The room is also full of bright flames. Huo Weilou has a handsome face and sits on the main seat with an imposing manner. Father Fu and Lin Huai are standing by, but there is no shadow of Bo Ruoyou. If there is a woman, the atmosphere in the room It might be a bit softer, but now Huo Weilou's whole body is coldly killing and killing, Lin Huai and Father Fu also had cold faces, and it instantly made Yue Mingquan breathe hard.

"Farewell to Lord Hou——"

Yue Mingquan bowed his hands cautiously. He bent his body and looked quite respectful, but when he bent down, Huo Weilou did not waive the courtesy. The more disturbed Yue Ming was in his heart, and this posture was laborious, and soon he felt that his forehead was born. Sweat.

"Yue Mingquan, a native of Cangzhou, joined the army at the age of fifteen. He successively served in the Cangzhou garrison and the Wenzhou garrison. Later, with his martial arts, he was able to discern the celestial phenomena and rise all the way to the ranks of the Luozhou garrison.

Huo Weilou finally opened his mouth, his voice was cold and the words were sharp, Yue Mingquan couldn't help but raised his head. As soon as he met Huo Weilou's gaze, Yue Mingquan's eyes trembled and lowered his eyes. Huo Weilou's cold eyes were like knives. , Look at each other for a moment, he will be stripped of flesh and bones by him, full of errors and omissions.

"Thirteen years ago, when you entered the garrison in Luozhou, you learned about the existence of the secret treasure relics of Famen Temple. You are in Luozhou, and you naturally know many rumors about the relics. Inquiry, and found out that the Buddhist classics recorded the method of unlocking the treasure letter. Later, you sent someone to the Famen Temple to privately buy the Buddhist scripture."

Hearing this, Yue Mingquan raised his eyes suddenly, "Hou Ye——"

"You bought the Buddhist scriptures and took advantage of your position. Before the relic ceremony, you hired a juggler and hid him in the lotus platform. On the day of the pawning, there must be heavy rain when you watch the sky, so you made the person rain and cover the umbrella. At that time, the organs in the lotus platform were used to steal the relics silently."

Yue Mingquan was sweating coldly and wanted to explain, but Huo Weilou did not give him a chance to interrupt.

"You thought that the pedestrians knew nothing about this, but Jingkong finally knew about the sale of the Buddhist scriptures. Wu Yu and Feng Lun were both worshippers. He was suspicious of the two lives, so he found you, and the young master of Dali Temple at that time. Qing Wang Qingfu told this story."

"But he didn't expect that you even colluded with Wang Qingfu in this matter, so under your coercion, Wang Qingfu had to coax the clearance out of the Buddha sculpture workshop with you to kill him."

"You have a strong martial arts skill. Earlier you learned a little bit of medical science from the Taoist priest. You know the bones and veins of humans very well. You dismembered the empty space after three times and five divisions. Later, in order to destroy the corpses and destroy the traces, you two hid the dismembered corpses. Among the Buddha statues."

Yue Mingquan's face was white as a ghost, and the corners of his lips twitched a few times, and finally couldn't help but said: "Hou Ye...what did Hou Ye say? Where did these come from? The next official didn't really understand a word! "

Huo Weilou continued to say in a cold voice, "The clear space disappeared, and the matter was covered up. You took the relic privately, and then used money to appease Wang Qingfu. As a Beijing official, he knows that this matter is of great importance. I dared not reveal a word until the corpse of Jingkong was discovered. After ten years, he was tortured with regret every day, but you, after learning that Feng Lun had an insight into the things of the year, actually killed Feng Lun. Yue Mingquan, you are really cruel and cruel."

Yue Mingquan moved his lips and pulled out a wry smile, "Why do you deceive the official like this? If the official is a murderer, how can he be calm these few days? The official is looking forward to finding out the real murderer. In any case, he will not be the murderer. Jingkong was not familiar with the official, even if he knew about the Buddhist scriptures, he would not be able to come to the official."

Yue Mingquan said, as if he really found the confidence for himself, he suddenly straightened up, "Hou Ye, the junior officer knows that soldiers are not tired of deceit, but the officer is open-minded and has no shame in his heart. This is how Master Hou deceived him. Can't get the truth."

Huo Weilou did not move his eyebrows. He looked at Yue Mingquan coldly, as if he still had something he didn't know about. No amount of sophistry would be futile. Huo Weilou's fingertips tapped on the arm of the chair, and Heiyu pulled his fingers. There was a crisp noise with Zhu Qi Nanmu, and he slowly asked, "Don't you know, where Benhou knew all this came from?"

Yue Mingquan's back was soaked in cold sweat. Although his face looked strange, he still maintained a superficial composure, "No matter where he learned from, there are people who want to frame the subordinate official. Please also ask him to be clear!"

Huo Weilou’s phoenix eyes were narrow, and only then did he reveal a trace of regret from his ruthless eyes. He said: “This prince is a military service. Iron-faced, but only two more forgiving to defenders and defenders, but-if you don't know how to promote, your heart will be in vain."

Yue Mingquan’s fingertips began to tremble, and he subconsciously wanted to hold the dagger at his waist, but then realized that the dagger had been confiscated. He gritted his teeth, "Hou Master doesn’t have to be so hard and soft. What should I do if I have never done anything before? Admit it? Hou Ye doesn’t believe in being an official, and he doesn’t know how to prove himself. If he has to convict an official, he has to prove himself with death—"

He clenched his fists, his face was righteous, but Huo Weilou's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen the panic under his righteousness. Huo Weilou squinted at him for a few moments. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard outside the door. .

Huo Weilou's eyes turned, Yue Mingquan also heard his heart beat, and Luke's voice soon sounded outside the door, "Master Hou, Lord Wang is here--"

The corners of Yue Mingquan's lips moved as if to speak, but Huo Weilou's eyes were cold and he made a silent gesture to him.

The corners of Yue Mingquan’s lips froze and he dared not speak, and Huo Wei said in the corridor: "This lord is tired, you take him to the right side, so that he can write down what he has said, and be sure to write clearly."

When Yue Mingquan heard this, he was a little flustered. He only heard Lu Ke's response, and walked into the right compartment with heavy and heavy footsteps. Listening to the footsteps, Yue Mingquan seemed to be able to imagine how Wang Qingfu was encircled in it.

Soon, Luke's voice came from the right side, "Master Wang, be sure to write more in detail, especially how General Yue approached you back then, and how to coerce you to write clearly, Master Wang is an official. For many years, when you know that this trip is related to the future sentencing, whether it is exile for thousands of miles, or the downtown area, it depends on whether Lord Wang has explained clearly."

Yue Mingquan opened his eyes slightly, but looking at Huo Weilou's calm appearance, he seemed to not believe in evil, still retaining the last glimmer of hope, but then Wang Qingfu's voice rang.

"Yes... Xiaguanding dare not conceal it anymore. In the past ten years, Xiaguan has been frightened and frightened. Now that he has been investigated by Lord Hou, Xiaguan also feels relaxed. Back then, I was nothing but a little young man, I was still like Taichang Temple. Shimizu Yamen, if he hadn't found me, I wouldn't do such daring things anyway--"

Wang Qingfu's voice trembled, and it sounded no longer the usual calm and gentleness. In addition to his trembling voice, he could hear the crisp sound of paper folding. Yue Ming's overall complexion became more and more ugly, and his forehead also gave birth to one by one. With the big beads of sweat coming, Huo Weilou's eyes fell on him. At first, he could force himself to look at him for a while. Later, he could only look down at the place in front of his feet. Struggling with fear, and Huo Weilou’s gaze is always hanging in front of his forehead like a knife. The bright light in the room, the silence and cold eyes of Father Fu and Lin Huai, are like a net under the hood, which forces him to become more and more mindful. Panic is getting more and more afraid.

At a certain moment, the table and chairs in the right compartment suddenly sounded, and Lu Ke said, "Master Wang has nothing to write?"

"Xiaguan only thought of so much for a while. If I think of anything else, I will report it again." Wang Qingfu's voice was weak, as if he was desperate, and suddenly, he seemed to be a little scared and said: "That Yue Mingquan seems to be a general. In fact, he is just a desperado, extremely vicious. If Master Hou wants to capture this person, you must be careful. If he changes, you must not be merciful to him."

The sound of footsteps, the sound of opening the door, and the sound of notifications in front of the door. These sounds accompanied by the dazzling lights in the house, for a moment, made Yue Mingquan a little stupefied. Everyone can hear that Wang Qingfu, a suitable talent, is basically to remind the embroiderer, if necessary. He was dead.

"Master Hou, Master Wang finished it."

Lu Ke's voice rang again, Huo Wei's eyebrows moved slightly, and he was about to speak, but Yue Mingquan suddenly raised his head with red eyes, "Master Hou, you don't need to read what he wrote anymore. He is talking nonsense. In framing the subordinate official, back then...it was the subordinate official he sought out at all—"

Huo Weilou's pupils moved slightly, motioning him to continue.

Outside the room, Luke wiped the sweat on his forehead when he heard the words, and squeezed his aching throat, and he was relieved for a long time.
