The Delicate Lady Coroner

Chapter 43: Two-color lotus 15

Bo Ruoyou surprised Huo Weilou in the end.

Jingzhaofu Yamen is at the feet of the emperor, comparable to that of an extraordinary prefecture. He Cheng as a parent official, or a woman can be appointed as a widow, but even if Bo Ruoyou will have an autopsy again, Jing Zhaoyin today dare not bring a woman casually. Errands.

But if there is Wu Zhaohou's recommendation, everything will be different.

Thinking about it this way, Bo Ruoyou is determined to wait until the case is resolved before speaking. It is not unreasonable. Huo Weilou is never favoritism over tolerance. If he is really worthy of his recommendation, how can he easily help her?

Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes narrowed, "Why go to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen?"

Bo Ruoyou looked at Huo Weilou with a pair of wonderful eyes, "Because the people's daughter is originally from the capital, she came to Qingzhou with her foster father and mother before. After the mother's death, the adoptive father set up to take the people's daughter back to her hometown. The minds of the people are appreciated by Master Dehe in Qingzhou, but if they return to the capital, it is difficult to have a chance to show off their talents, so I want to ask Lord Hou."

This statement is also reasonable, but Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, but felt that her eyes were smoky, and it was not true for a while. At least his silence seemed a little frightening, and Bo Ruoyou lowered his eyes. , Looks a little nervous.

In this world, there is no woman to do it. What's more, Huo Weilou hates women's involvement in tolerance. Everyone knows his temperament. If he helped her this time, wouldn't it be a break of the precept, plus Jingzhao Mansion is the official office of Gyeonggi. , The unusual state government office is comparable, if Huo Weilou refuses her inappropriately, it is also extremely unusual.

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but tightened the corners of her lips.

"You are indeed quite accomplished in the technique of post-mortem examinations. This is the case when the author sent a letter of recommendation to Jingzhao Mansion." After examining her for a long time, Huo Weilou suddenly spoke.

Bo Ruoyou immediately raised her eyes when she heard the words, her heart hung high, her face was full of unstoppable surprises, "Housing Lord's words are serious?"

This was the first time Huo Weilou saw her so happy. Her eyes were bright, bright and moving, and she looked at him urgently, as if she had his affirmation to be completely at ease. Huo Weilou couldn't help bending her lips, "Benhou A word is very important, and if it is exported, it is naturally true."

Greater joy overflowed from the bottom of Bo Ruoyou's pupils, and even the trembling eyelashes were jumping for joy, "Thank you Lord Hou."

She has always been gentle and quiet, but at this moment, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are dyed with unconcealable joy, adding a bit of childishness, but it makes her whole person alive, as if she has won the best treasure in the world.

Huo Weilou looked at her, although she didn't get a better thank you, but some warm currents flowed from the bottom of her heart for some reason. He was one person below ten thousand people, he once gave ten thousand dollars, and he also gave people a high position. Even the city can be trusted to give to others, and those who have been rewarded by him are all grateful to him.

They are grateful for their words that are a hundred times more touching than what Bo Ruoyou said, but the greed hidden in their eyes is like a snake spitting out a letter. Everyone knows that they can ask for more from Wu Zhaohou. Everyone does it. I don't know what satisfaction is, no one is like Bo Ruoyou. A small letter of recommendation can make her so happy.

The excitement still stayed on Bo Ruoyou's face. She was born with eyebrows and starry eyes. At this moment, because she was very happy, her eyes were more like a flowing spring. Huo Weilou looked at her and suddenly wanted to make her. Such joy stayed longer on her face.

"Just a letter of recommendation is enough?"

No matter how dignified Wu Zhaohou asked, there was still room for negotiation, but Bo Ruoyou said: "Enough, Lord Hou has a high position, and the ladies only need one chance. Thank you Lord Hou."

Huo Weilou felt that the warm current in his heart was just a thin stream in the crevices of the stone. At this moment, it turned into a spring, and a hot lake gurgled out. His brows and eyes were relaxed, but he felt that the thin and quiet answer was not what he thought. , "In the capital, it is not as simple as the Qingzhou government office, you are a woman, I am afraid there will be more difficulties."

Bo Ruoyou smiled indifferently, "The girl has already thought of it, but the girl has skills in her hands and is not afraid of being embarrassed." She pursed her lips, as if she knew what Huo Weilou was thinking, "The letter of recommendation to Lord Hou Although it is simple, it is very precious to the ladies of the people. The ladies of the Qingzhou government are still appreciated by Master He. If you want to go to Jingzhaofu for a bad job, I am afraid that you will even see Master Jingzhaoyin. It takes a lot of work, but with a letter of recommendation from Lord Hou, it's quite different."

Huo Weilou never expected that the benefits in his hands would be unavailable for one day.

Bo Ruo paused for a while, seeming to have calmed down his mind, and his expression on his face was a little quieter, "Hou Master, do you have other orders?"

This is about preparing to retire. Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou Yingying's beautiful eyes, moved his lips, but only said: "No, get back."

Bo Ruoyou blessed the body in a hurry, and when he turned and left, he walked briskly, and he was still happy.

When Bo Ruoyou walked out of the house, Huo Weilou chuckled silently. Although the benefits in his hands had not been sent out, he felt for the first time that satisfying the requests of others was so pleasant.

When Father Fu entered the door, he saw Huo Weilou's eyes with a residual smile, he was startled, "Hou Ye, what is so happy?"

When asked, the remaining smile immediately disappeared without a trace. Huo Weilou turned his eyes to look at Father Fu. With a scrutiny gaze, Father Fu was stunned by him, "What's wrong with Lord Hou? Looked faintly. I am also very happy, but what did she ask for?"

What Bo Ruoyou asked was also the point of Duke Fu's curiosity. However, Huo Weilou seemed to have not heard what he said, but rather seriously asked: "Do you have a wish these days?"

Father Fu was taken aback, "Old slave...what else can the old slave have?"

Huo Weilou continued to ask: "Is there nothing you want?"

"There is nothing to want. It's not that Master Hou doesn't understand the old slave. What can the old slave want..."

Father Fu was inexplicable, but Huo Weilou said, "Then you want one now."

Father Fu was stunned, what happened to his Hou Ye?

Although he felt confused, Huo Weilou's expression did not seem to be a joke. Father Fu frowned and thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of one. He smacked his mouth and said helplessly: "I have to say...I came to the temple. In the past few days, every day, the old slave’s mouth is dull and tasteless. I heard that Luozhou River is delicious, and the old slave wants to eat Luozhou River fresh vegetables."

Huo Weilou raised his brows slightly, seemingly satisfied, and said loudly, "Lu Ke--"

Lu Ke came in, and after hearing the instructions of Huo Weilou, he was in a daze. Huo Weilou actually asked him to go down the mountain to buy fresh vegetables from the river, and Father Fu was also taken aback, "Hou Ye, this... you don't need to be so anxious. "

Huo Weilou frowned, "If you want, Benhou will satisfy you, okay?"

Father Fu was speechless, Luke didn't know what was going on, he just responded and wanted to do it, but then listened to Huo Wei's corridor, "Luke--"

Lu Ke turned around hurriedly, "Master Hou has any other orders?"

"What is your wish?"

Huo Weilou asked with seriousness, but Father Fu and Lu Ke were shocked.

Huo Weilou's imperial court is extremely strict. Although there are many rewards, they are all rewards based on merit. Now when it is not time to discuss merit, how can he ask him what his wishes are? What's more... In the past, all the rewards were what his Master Hou said. Although the gifts of his master Hou were all good things, his master Hou did not give him the habit of asking people what he wanted.

Luke took a quick look at Father Fu, and was relieved to see Father Fu looked as blank as him. He thought about it, and righteously said: "The wish of his subordinates is for the country and the people."

Huo Weilou frowned slightly: "Change one."

Luke thought for a while, "Subordinates wish Lord Hou a thousand years old--"

Huo Weilou became a little impatient, "This prince is asking what you want, not to make you loyal."

Luke scratched his head, and suddenly understood why Father Fu looked weird when Shi Cai came in. He also felt that things were not easy at the moment, "Then... the subordinates... the subordinates want to taste the Qiu Lubai in Luozhou, it is rumored that Qiu Lubai It’s the best brewing with Luozhou local millet..."

Huo Weilou looked at the two people who wanted to eat Hexian and want to drink fine wine. The situation was obviously different from what he expected. If the hearts of those outsiders were greedy, the two of them were cronies and wanted. It's simple, but... he was incapable of facing Bo Ruoyou's state of mind.

"Master Hou?" Seeing Huo Weilou's eyes were silent, Duke Fu couldn't help but said, "Or...Send Young Master Ming and Shi Zi over and ask them what their wishes are?"

In the mist, Lu Ke also echoed: "Yes, His Royal Highness must have a lot of wishes."

Huo Weilou's complexion was rather ugly, he squinted his eyes, and suddenly changed his mind, "Before the case is over, everyone will eat vegetarian food, and no one can break the temple's rules."

Father Fu had some regrets. Luke still looked blank. Seeing Huo Weilou's impatience to wave his hands, he and he retired together. Father Fu walked and said aggrieved: "What is this? It's not Hou. Did the Lord ask us by himself? Why did it make it seem like we wanted to break the rules? He didn't ask, our family didn't think so yet, he made such trouble, our family really feels greedy..."

Luke also found it unbelievable, but soon he looked righteous: "Father-in-law, I understand, Hou Ye is diligent in business, he must be thinking about a case."

Luke looked in awe, but Father Fu was puzzled. Luke said: "Father-in-law has forgotten, and Wang Qingfu didn't interrogate him! Wang Qingfu doesn't leak water. We haven't found any weakness in him until now. Thinking about Wang Qingfu's wishes, and then using this as a breakthrough to make him confess?"

Father Fu was dubious, "Really, why doesn't our family feel like it..."

...

Wang Qingfu did not leak.

Early the next morning, an embroidered clothing ambassador came to Huowei Building to report.

"Between these two days, Master Wu appeared a little anxious and came to inquire a few times, but Master Wang was always alone in the room, reading Buddhist scriptures, studying calligraphy, and painting. His daily life was also very fixed. The subordinates delivered meals. When Shi, I never asked more. When Shicai's subordinates left the room, Lord Wang was having breakfast, and he seemed not at all worried about what happened in the past two days."

Hearing this, Huo Weilou's expression became solemn, "Bring all the Buddhist scriptures, writings, and paintings he read to Benhou."

The embroidered clothes ambassador left at the order, and Lin Huai, who came to the side, also showed concern, "The lower officials have encountered many repeat offenders in the past few years in the Criminal Ministry. It's terrible. Even with heavy punishment, he seems to be not afraid of death. If he doesn't speak, he doesn't speak. From the bottom of the official's opinion, Lord Wang is only this kind of person."

Huo Weilou stared at him, "There is no perfect person in the world, but everyone has weaknesses, but some people hide them well and will not be easily discovered."

In this way, Lin Huai glanced at Huo Wei Tower subconsciously. In Lin Huai's view, Huo Wei Tower seemed to have no weaknesses.

Huo Weilou keenly caught Lin Huai's glance, and he didn't think he said: "Benhou also has weaknesses. Does Master Lin want to explore?"

Lin Huai's back stiffened with fright, and he pulled out a smile awkwardly, "I dare not go under the authority."

Soon, all the calligraphy and paintings made by Wang Qingfu's Buddhist scriptures that he had read in the past two days were brought over. Wang Qingfu came from the Qiangzhou Wang clan, and the Qiangzhou Wang clan was a family of literary and Confucian scholars. , But there is still a strong character, these can only be seen from Wang Qingfu's calligraphy and painting.

Wang Qingfu’s writing in the past two days is mostly about writing Buddhist scriptures. His cursive script is fluent and fluent. He has a vigorous and vigorous pen. Looking at his handwriting, he can even imagine him in a blue shirt standing in front of the writing desk with a few splashes of ink, and his paintings are nothing more than The view of Qixia Mountain covered by mist around the top of the pagoda seems like he is a scholar who has come here for a long journey, rather than a suspected suspect. The Buddhist scriptures he saw were even more common. One volume of Ksitigarbha Sutra and one volume of Huayan Sutra were borrowed from the monks, and there are traces of being read all the year round.

After reading these, without Yue Mingquan's testimony, it will only make people feel that Wang Qingfu is not at all flustered in his heart, just an outsider who is out of the way, and only in this way can he write and paint in such a state of mind.

Huo Weilou put down the scripture, "Summon Wu Yu."

Lu Ke left after hearing the order, and soon Wu Yu followed him into the gate of the monastery.

After two days and two nights of imprisonment, Wu Yu was now black and haggard, and seemed to be in a lot of suffering. After entering the door to salute, Wu Yu quickly asked: "Master Hou, is there a clue to the murderer?"

Huo Weilou sat in the main seat and asked instead, "In your eyes, what kind of person is Wang Qingfu?"

Wu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, her eyes opened slightly, "Master Hou doesn't doubt Brother Wang? Brother Wang is impossible, it can't be harmful..."

Huo Weilou's lips sneered, "You don't think he can harm people, but when he was tried the day before yesterday, he was suggesting that you have something to do with the case back then. Which one of you said is true?"

Wu Yu's complexion suddenly changed, "Brother Wang hinted that he would be dismissed? This won't be possible. The lower official has been with Brother Wang for many years..."

Huo Weilou raised his hand and interrupted him, "Just answer Benhou's question."

Wu Yu swallowed hard, "Brother Wang is indifferent to fame and fortune. In the eyes of the lower officials, he has the strong line of the Qiangzhou Wang family. If he is a court official, it is better to say that he is a literati in his bones, and he does not fight for power. , Just guarding the small side of Taichang Temple, he was also quite happy. Taichang Temple was close to the royal clan, but he did not like to associate with them, only to be alone. There were some setbacks on the way, but Brother Wang not only didn't dislike the low rank, but also offered a helping hand. This kind of friendship will always be remembered by the next official. He...really is not a person who will harm others for the sake of prosperity and wealth."

"Who said he harmed others for the sake of prosperity?"

Huo Weilou's narrow eyes, "Everyone in the world has seven passions, six desires, wealth seekers, power seekers, and beauty lovers. Although he is indifferent to fame and fortune, it does not mean that he has no other preferences. I want to know what he cares most about these years."

Wu Yu's expression was a little weird. He frowned and thought for a while, but his eyes were at a loss, "Xiaguan... Xiaguan can't figure it out... Brother Wang is very calm and elegant. He does his best on tolerance, but he is not trying to fight. Gong, usually likes to collect some famous paintings, but never extravagant for this, most of them look at fate, although there are wives and concubines in the house, but he gets along with them very kindly, and he can't see that he is a person who likes beauty."

When Wu Yu thought of this, he felt a little scared, "He... either is indeed a person with little personality and no likes, or... he even concealed his dismissal."

If it is the latter, then Wang Qingfu is really terrifying.

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, "Apart from you, who else in the capital has friends with him?"

Wu Yu said: "In addition to the officials, there are also a few people, but they are all Qingliu civil servants, and most of them come from poor families."

"Write down everyone's names."

Father Fu asked for paper and pen, Wu Yu wrote the names of seven or eight people in one go, and said: "These people often gather together with brother Wang, chant poems and paint, and occasionally discuss affairs of state affairs, but It’s not a party."

Wu Yu was cautious in his words. Huo Weilou didn't take it seriously. The person with the highest official position on the paper was Wu Yu, a minister of ceremonies. Most of the others were people from poor backgrounds but some talents. They got together. Really can't afford to be a party.

Lin Huai looked at him and said in doubt: "Being good with these people, but also with his temperament, and it seems that there are many people who befriend him. He is not a lonely person. If he steals the relic, it is for the sake of what?"

All of Wang Qingfu’s experiences were normal, but the more so, the more incomprehensible it was. Huo Weilou stared at him. He never imagined that Taichang Temple was mainly responsible for the ancestral worship, if he could get closer to the royal family. , You can get a lot of convenience, but Wang Qingfu likes to be alone. In this way, Taichang Temple has become a place of no real power, especially in the government, and its influence is very small. Therefore, Huo Weilou does not think that anyone will tie up with him. party.

Wu Yu said again: "Also, if Brother Wang doesn't believe in Buddha, he won't believe in either."

This is even more weird.

Yue Mingquan even confessed the key to his old house in Cangzhou. It is impossible to lie. If Wang Qingfu stole the relic, what would he use? Where is the relic now?

The phoenix eyes narrowed, Huo Weilou immediately said: "Bring Wang Qingfu here."

Although I can't see Wang Qingfu's person, it is necessary to fight against each other in order to explore the reality. Luke led the way, Huo Weilou said coldly: "If you can't find out, you will be escorted back to Beijing first, and back to the capital. What this Hou has is kung fu with him."

Embroidery has its own death jail, and few people who enter there are still tight-lipped.

Lin Huai, who was listening to the side, couldn't help but cool her back.

However, I waited a little longer than Shi Cai called Wu Yu. Just when Huo Weilou felt something was wrong, Lu Ke ran back profusely, "Hou Ye, something has happened, and Wang Qingfu has swallowed money." !"

"Swallow gold?!"

Huo Weilou stood up suddenly, and the expressions of Lin Huai and Father Fu changed drastically!

Lu Ke nodded, "Yes, he swallowed all the broken gold he was carrying with him. At this moment, he still has a sigh of relief. The subordinates have sent someone to invite Master Ming, and they come back without knowing that they can't be saved--"

Huo Weilou let out a sneer, and there was a wave of wind and rain in his eyes, "It's really not afraid of death."

When he said that, he stepped out. As soon as he went out, Bo Ruoyou heard the movement coming out of the wing. Huo Weilou looked at her and didn't say anything, and went straight to Wang Qingfu's yard. Bo Ruoyou hurriedly followed.

Lu Ke said as he walked: "I didn't show any abnormalities when I took the paintings and calligraphy in the morning. For more than an hour in the middle, people outside did not hear any noise. Just now my subordinates called the door not to be allowed, and he found something wrong when he entered the door. The last bit of blood is gone."

As soon as he walked outside the courtyard, he saw Huo Qinghong and Ming Guilan surrounded by embroidered clothes envoys and arrived. Ming Guilan had obviously received a report and frowned and asked, "How much did you swallow?"

Luke thought for a moment, "At least a few taels of gold."

Ming Guilan frowned suddenly, "Go in and take a look."

A group of people entered the yard. Two embroidered dressers carried Ming Guilan’s wheelchair into the main entrance. As soon as they entered, they saw Wang Qingfu lying on the north couch in a green shirt. He was neatly dressed and folded his hands on his abdomen. He looked like he was asleep, but only when he got closer could he see his painfully tightened brows and the blood overflowing from the corners of his lips. Cold sweat fell down his pale cheeks, and the only slightly undulating chest meant that he was still alive. .

Swallowing gold is an extremely painful method of death. Nothing can be seen on the surface, but the gold sinks into the abdomen, and poisoning is the next thing. Most of them are worn through the internal organs and lost blood. It is really painful and torment of death, but obviously, Wang Qingfu is willing to choose This seemingly decent way to die.

Ming Guilan stepped forward to ask for pulse, and touched the place where he touched his spleen and stomach. He quickly looked back at Huo Weilou, "Master Hou, I won't be able to come back. In such a situation, he will undoubtedly die before dark."

Huo Weilou's overall momentum suddenly changed.

People swallowed the gold before the trial? !

His cold eyes squinted, and the embroidered clothes ambassadors who were in charge of guarding outside were sweating coldly. However, he didn't get into trouble, he just said coldly: "You guys get out first."

Ming Guilan glanced at Wang Qingfu, sighed and walked out. Huo Qinghong followed along. Although Bo Ruoyou retreated at the order, he saw that Huo Wei Tower had not moved. At this moment, Wang Qingfu had already fainted in pain, but also I don't know what Huo Wei Building is going to do.

The group of people filed out of the upper room, only Huo Weilou took Luke and embroidered clothes to stay in it.

The main room door was closed, and everyone outside looked solemn, and Bo Ruoyou also tightened his brows. The silent waiting was tormenting in my heart, but soon, a scream belonging to Wang Qingfu came out from the house sadly.
