The Delicate Lady Coroner

Ning Xiao and Father Fu outside the door could only see a shadow cast on the ground. Bo Ruoyou seemed to be sitting on the couch, but people couldn't see him. Ning Xiao hesitated for a moment, and Father Fu took him out. , "Walk around, I think you can rest."

Ning Xiao was a little inexplicable, "Master Hou hasn't heard my answer yet, and the material evidence brought back today--"

Father Fu smiled, "You are with you, don't worry, this meeting is too late, do you plan to rest or go back to the house?"

Ning Xiao still looked unsmiling, only frowned, "Bo Yazuo hasn't left yet, how can I go?"

Father Fu looked at Ning Xiao like this, and for a while, he sighed, "You count as half a year younger than Master Hou? Look at you, look at you, you're even more old-fashioned than Master Hou, you just need to be outside, why? It still looks like this when it comes to the Hou Mansion."

Ning Xiao was even more inexplicable, "What happened to me?"

Father Fu shook his head, "Don't learn from him, don't you think he won't be able to marry his wife at a young age, don't you want to do that too?"

Ning Xiao seemed to be a little rusty even with a wry smile. He pulled his lips and his expression was still stiff. "The father-in-law said and laughed. Lord Hou is the country and the people. If you really want to marry a wife, the best woman in the world can be matched. How can you not marry a wife?"

Father Fu looked at him helplessly, "Sure enough, those of you who have followed him all the year round, there is no one who will not be distorted by him, and you will always be the country for the people, marrying a close person back, and delaying you for the country and the people?"

Ning Xiao gazed and pondered, as if struggling to understand Father Fu's words, but after a while he nodded cautiously, "There was indeed a delay." He said in a serious way: "Women are the most troublesome in the world, Lord Hou also said, In this world, women are either rich or dignified or lowly duckweed. Although the world is difficult, they don't grow up. It is cumbersome to stay with them, and if they are mistaken by female sex, it will appear that men are extremely incompetent. "

Father Fu's eyes widened, seeing that Ning Xiao didn't seem to be joking, he couldn't help but sighed, "I'm dumbfounded again, you're almost duller than Luke." No matter how much he said, he dragged him to the side of the hall. Go, and walk as you say: "You don’t listen to what he said in the future. He is born there. It is not difficult to get a wife. You should follow him too. In case your little Raksha's reputation really spreads, take a look. Who in the capital dares to marry your daughter?"

Ning Xiao's eyes showed a little helplessness, and he couldn't help the gloomy look of outsiders. He looked back at the study room and began to wonder if Bo Ruoyou could explain all the feelings of the day clearly.

In the study, Huo Weilou walked up to Bo Ruoyou and she still didn't notice.

The couch was full of books, and the desk was moved to the corner of the couch. She was holding a book in her hand, because she was too sleepy, and she was rather awkwardly lying on the desk. This posture looked like It's not so comfortable.

But she showed her figure very much.

She leaned on the desk with one hand, her face pressed between her arms, and the other hand was still hanging on the couch with the booklet in her other hand. Her spine was tight, revealing a white neck, and her unbearable waist was half-twisted, just to line up the ups and downs of her chest.

She is thin and thin, and she can't see anything on weekdays, but at this time, looking at it from this angle, she is quite delicate and graceful, and the side of her exposed face is as white as porcelain reflected by the lights, and her lips are slightly pursed. When the petals were not clicked, Zhuo made Huo Weilou's eyes a little enthusiastic.

The lamp in the corner "cracked", and Huo Weilou approached Bo Ruoyou two steps.

He was really sound asleep, breathing slowly and inaudible, the closer he got closer, the faint fragrance on his body also made his heart warm, Huo Weilou couldn't help leaning over, wanting to hold what she still holds in her hand. The book was pulled out, but as soon as he moved, Bo Ruoyou trembled. He thought he was awakened. When his eyes fell on her, he only frowned uncomfortably and did not wake up.

Huo Weilou's eyes fell slightly, and Bo Ruoyou's brows became more frowning at this time, and the hand holding the booklet was unconsciously clenched, and the knuckles were a little white. He couldn't help but leaned forward and whispered, "Bo Ruoyou?"

A painful look appeared on Bo Ruoyou's face, as if she was suffering from some torture in her dream. She isolated Huo Weilou's unimportant voice, and soon a layer of fine sweat overflowed her forehead.

Huo Weilou saw her in pain only when she almost hurt her that night. At this moment, she didn’t know what nightmare she had, which made her so terrified in her dream. Huo Weilou felt that it was so inappropriate and couldn’t help but rely on it. He got closer, and shook her arm as soon as he grasped her, "Bo Ruoyou? And wake up—"

He called her, but this made Bo Ruoyou even more frightened. She trembled, and subconsciously avoided the hand of Huo Weilou. She woke up at the next moment when she struggled fiercely.

The fear in her eyes remained unresolved, and the flood light filled her with horror, making her not know where she was. She even showed a resentful look at Huo Weilou, and threw his hand away again. She was always gentle and calm. At the time of the post-mortem examination, it was only because of the solemn and solemn pressure. Has Huo Weilou ever seen her show such an expression? At that moment, as if he was her enemy.

The light of daylight made Bo Ruoyou regain her clarity. She panted violently, looked at the room, and then at Huo Weilou. Seeing him looking at herself with a deep gaze, she hurriedly sat up straight and lowered her eyes. Lord Hou is back."

As he spoke, he stood up, blessed his body, and seemed to be gentle again.

But Huo Weilou's hand was already empty. Of course he knew how much strength Shi Ruoyou had used at that moment, and her eyes were a bit of hatred like a knife.

Huo Weilou looked at her, "have a nightmare?"

Bo Ruoyou pursed his lips and nodded, but Huo Weilou's voice became softer, "What did you dream of?"

Bo Ruoyou stiffened his back a little nervously, his eyes drooping, and he saw the books on the couch, "Mindv dreamed of a murderer, a person who couldn't see his face, chased Mindv behind him, watching About to catch up, the people's daughter just flees."

Her throat was a little hoarse, and it was reasonable to think of her expression, but Huo Weilou suddenly raised her hand and grasped her chin, forcing her to lift her eyes to look at herself, and Bo Ruoyou subconsciously wanted to retreat. She didn't dare to coerce the building, her eyes were soggy that she didn't avoid Huo Weilou's gaze with enough effort.

Huo Weilou looked at her for a moment, then suddenly let go of her, "You are too engrossed about the case."

Speaking of walking to the place where she got up to sit, and casually flipping through the book on the couch, Bo Ruoyou breathed a sigh of relief. She straightened her back and looked calm on her face, as if she was not the one who was ridden with nightmares a moment ago. .

Huo Weilou's expression was a bit ugly. Bo Ruoyou was good at telling lies of others, but she herself did not know how to lie. How profitable his vision was, how could she not see that she deliberately used this case as an excuse.

However, he found a good excuse, and he didn't have to ask the subordinates to ask questions, so he fulfilled her wish to persecute her, but the bottom of his heart seemed to be empty, and the cool breeze made him uncomfortable.

"Does Hou know that today's case has progressed?" Bo Ruoyou asked actively.

Huo Weilou glanced at her, "I don't know yet, let's talk about it."

Ning Xiao told her clearly, but Huo Weilou asked her to speak.

Bo Ruoyou submitted the examination papers, and first pointed out the key points and said, "Ms. Wei Jia's wounds were not so obvious at the beginning. The women's examination was not thorough. I went to see today and found her neck. The scars are different."

Bo Ruoyou said as he gestured with his hand, "Miss Wei was strangled to death from behind. Under normal circumstances, the place where the scars are the most severe should be under the throat, and then extend back from the throat. The severity of the scars on both sides should be equal. But today, the people's daughter found that the scars on the left and right sides of Miss Wei Jia had some deep and shallow marks, deep on the right side and shallow on the left side."

Huo Weilou looked down, "The murderer's left hand is weak."

Bo Ruoyou nodded immediately, "Not only that, but the folk girl remembered the traces she saw on the Feng family girl. She was strangled to death by the murderer. She was pinched to death by the murderer. It is reasonable to say that she was strangled by her neck for the purpose of killing. With the strength, when the murderer uses the force, the five fingers should be used at the same time, and the marks on the side of the neck should be all five fingers. However, there are only three finger marks on the right side of the neck of Miss Feng, and the little finger marks are missing."

"Although the little finger is weak, the murderer uses the power to kill. The skin on the woman's neck is delicate and it is very easy to leave marks. I didn't think of it at the time of the post-mortem. I didn't find it until I saw the scars on Miss Wei Jia's body today. There is something in common. Minnv guessed that the murderer's left hand should have been injured, especially in the position of the little finger, it is more likely that there are only four fingers left on the left hand."

Huo Weilou thought of what Bo Ruoyou said on the carriage that night, and said: "The murderer is a person who is good at craftsmanship. He has injured his left hand. He likes to attack people who love red dresses and who have cinnabar moles on their bodies."

Bo Ruoyou's shoulders were a little stiff, and Huo Weilou looked at the booklet on the bed again, "What can I see?"

Speaking of these books, Bo Ruoyou has a bitter expression, "I haven't found anything yet. This Miss Wei Jia reads a wide range of books. There are many obscure and difficult ancient books related to calligraphy and painting. It seems that she likes this and wants to study. Diligent."

Huo Weilou flipped through it casually, "It's the rubbings of the former dynasty calligrapher. Is she a good handwriting?"

But Ruoyou didn't know this, Huo Weilou said: "This book sage's brushwork is powerful and powerful. Later generations will imitate it, but it is difficult to learn its essence. Most of the people who love this brushwork are men."

Bo Ruoyou is not good at this, and he learns a lot of lower-case letters. Hearing Huo Weilou's talk, she knows that he knows a lot, and at this point, she is also puzzled, "Although she hasn't seen her handwriting--"

"Is this her word?" Huo Weilou suddenly took a book and unfolded it to her.

Bo Ruoyou came forward and saw that there were a few notes on the page, but it was also in delicate lower letters. She quickly turned over the evidence of the green sleeves and found that the book was bought instead of borrowed, and said: "Mostly Yes."

Huo Weilou looked at the handwriting for a moment, "She sees that the rubbing is useless, but she still bought a lot of such books, wondering who it is for."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes shone slightly, "Lvxiu said that Wei Ling would not let her follow when she went out again and again, and she was actually studying this calligraphy rubbing, which is mostly for men. Could it be that she went to the Chongshuguan to buy a book, really private ?"

Huo Wei Road: "It's not impossible."

Bo Ruoyou didn't know what he thought of. He squatted down on the side of the couch a little anxiously, and then compared the testimonies written in green sleeves one by one. "She bought such rubbings for the first time half a year ago. She started borrowing the book four months ago, returning it every ten days to half a month, but there is no fixed number."

Bo Ruoyou tilted his head for a moment and thought, "If the time is not far off, could it be that she knew someone half a year ago?"

Because she was squatting, she raised her face when she spoke, and the surrounding lights were shining, making this face more and more dazzling, with black and white under her eyes shining with fine light, and the stars seemed to reflect him alone.

Huo Wei said in the corridor: "This is all you need to check. Benhou heard Ning Xiao say that there is still a poetry society?"

Bo Ruoyou said about the Lingxiao Poetry Society, and looked at him with some doubts, "This poetry society is all run by officials and ladies, don't you know it halfway?"

Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, "It's just pastime, how did Benhou know?"

Bo Ruo thought so, so he looked back to the booklet, "They have no seals, no other objects of affection, and no middlemen to pass words. Is it that every time I meet is an appointment? I have made an appointment when I will see you next time. ?"

Bo Ruoyou turned the book again, as if he really felt that the answer was in the book. Huo Weilou looked at her, but still wondering what a nightmare she did in that meeting, but at this moment, Bo Ruoyou suddenly remembered something. Said like: "Today is too coincidental, the girl actually met her cousin in the Bofu."

Huo Weilou's eyes darkened, "Miss Bo's?"

Bo Ruo nodded, his expression on his face was unusual, but Huo Weilou's voice became deeper, "What do you think of seeing her? You are both Bo's daughters. She is honored in the capital, but you only come back now. Will complain?"

Bo Ruoyou was a little lost at first, and then shook his head, "It is hard to say that it is not complaining. In the hearts of the people, they have long been no longer regarded as family members, so it is rather calm."

Huo Weilou believed these words. Thinking about her marriage, Huo Weilou said again: "It's okay if you think so, and in the future, you won't be worse than her."

Bo Ruo said quietly, "What does Hou Ye say?"

He said this as if he was going to be a backer for her, and she showed some expectant small eyes in cooperation, Huo Weilou laughed, "You—you are doing the job well, and I will reward you."

Bo Ruoyou smiled deeply, but he was a little guilty, "But nowadays, the girl is not working under Hou Ye, this reward..."

Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, "What? Do you want to follow Benhou every day?"

Bo Ruoyou's face was hot, "The girl dare not."

Huo Weilou raised his hand and patted on the top of her hair, "How many unmarginal people can't ask for Benhou's reward, Benhou treats you as compassionate now, but you can't afford to be half distracted."

Bo Ruoyou was even more embarrassed, "The errand of the girl returning to Beijing hasn't been finished yet, so where can I get more thoughts?"

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, "Ning Xiao also followed this lord through many cases, and he acted swiftly and decisively. With him staring, he didn't dare to be scornful everywhere in the yamen. Now there are more and more clues. broken."

Bo Ruoyou looked at the book on the couch, and couldn't help but said, "Since Master Hou is so busy, why should we send the evidence to the Hou Mansion? Seeing that Deputy Commander Ning has the demeanor of Master Hou, the case has full power. It is safe to give it to him."

Huo Weilou couldn't help but nodded in her forehead, "I think I can take care of this case more, don't you like it?"

Huo Weilou doesn't seem to be someone who can do such small actions, but his words and deeds are natural, showing a bit of intimacy with trusted people. Bo Ruoyou leaned back, but he didn't feel repelled, but said : "The girl dare not, the girl just doesn't want Master Hou to be too tired."

This statement made Huo Weilou very useful, but he asked, "How does Ning Xiao act like a prince?"

Bo Ruoyou was unaware of him, "Deputy Commander Ning also had a sense of resolute and resolute action. He was in the Yamen during the day, and his sharp words almost made Sun Daqing fall down. When he arrived at the Bo's Mansion, he was extremely determined. These material evidences are He brought someone to search it."

There was no excessive praise, but Huo Weilou still felt a little unhappy when he heard it, "He was brought out by Benhou, so naturally he will not behave like ordinary officials."

Bo Ruo quietly agreed, "Master Hou knows people with his eyes, and Deputy Commander Ning is indeed very extraordinary."

Huo Weilou felt harsher the more he heard it. For a while, I didn’t know who he was boasting about, but Bo Ruoyou went to look through the books, not realizing what was wrong with what she said, but suddenly, she held up a book. , "This book is not from the Chongwenwenguan. There is only a general seal on Taoism here. I don't know what the word is?"

Huo Weilou's thoughts turned, and he took the book and read it, "It's an ancient seal'ink'." Then he turned the book back and forth, "It's also a rubbing..."

But all the books written by Tuo have the seal of the Wenguan. The books on the couch here are from the Chongwenguan, but this one is not, and it seems that this one has been read many times by Wei Ling. Po Ruoyou said: "Could it be that Wei Ling went to another library?"

Huo Wei Lou Meifeng moved slightly, calling out to the outside, "Come on—"

The guards quickly entered, and Huo Weilou ordered: "Let Ning Xiao come."

When Ning Xiao entered the door, he saw Bo Ruoyou squatting on the couch and still flipping a book. Huo Weilou was sitting very close to her. His robes were almost worn together with his thin skirt. Ning Xiao His eyes are certain, and he feels something is not right.

"Go to Bofu and see if Wei Ling has bought books in other libraries and brought a library with the word'ink'. If they don't know, they should check the names with ink, and then see if there are any. Which libraries have published such rubbings."

Seeing that it was getting late, Huo Weilou handed the booklet to Ning Xiao, and said, "There must be news before noon tomorrow. Besides, Hou Muxiu in Japan tomorrow, I will go and see it in person at that time."

Ning Xiao's expression changed slightly, "Master Hou, is there anything wrong with the subordinates doing errands?"

Ning Xiao’s voice was no longer as cold as in the daytime. On the contrary, when I asked this, he was a little cautious and seemed to be aggrieved, but Huo Weilou said with a calm face: "No, this is the case. Your Majesty is also asking questions today, so you should be more cautious."

Ning Xiao’s lips pressed, as if he was still not convinced, Bo Ruoyou was stunned for a while when he saw such a scene. What a cruel and merciless face of Ning Xiao in the day, although he didn’t have the jealous and unforgiving face of Huowei Tower. The feeling of a mighty city mansion, but the gloomy edge on his body is not concealed, like a sharp blade shining with cold light, clearly scary.

But right now in front of Huo Weilou, he had a face of submission, as if he was very unwilling to make Huo Weilou feel that he was doing a bad job.

Seeing his expression, Huo Weilou knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "This decision has nothing to do with you, why don't you go and do what you are doing here?"

Ning Xiao's expression was startled, and he walked out in response.

Bo Ruoyou kept watching Ning Xiao leave, and when he turned his head, he saw Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes narrowed and looked at her, "What? Benhou said he wanted to see it in person, do you think it's wrong?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head quickly, "Naturally not..."

Huo Weilou seemed to snorted, then glanced at the sky outside, "It's too late, do you want to continue reading these books? If you want to read it, it doesn't matter if you live in the Hou Mansion today."

Bo Ruoyou was surprised at hearing, how could she stay in the Hou Mansion? However, I always feel that there is something hidden in this pile of books. After a battle between heaven and man in my mind, I still shook my head, "The girl who does not return home will worry about the righteous father. If there is no need for the girl to follow tomorrow, the girl thinks. Let’s take a look again. Right now, the ladies of the people are also leaving, and the papers will be checked by Lord Hou."

Huo Weilou rolled his eyes as he wanted to learn from Father Fu, stared at her for a moment to the end and said, "You can come to the Hou Mansion tomorrow morning."

Bo Ruoyou answered and bowed again, and then walked out, Huo Weilou only loudly ordered Father Fu to send her off.

Father Fu answered the voice, and when Bo Ruoyou came out, Father Fu accompanied her to the mansion gate. On the way, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but said, "Master Hou will rest tomorrow, and I have to investigate the case personally."

Father Fu was taken aback, "I—"

Seeing Bo Ruoyou look over, Fu Gong just said: "I expected it." He said with a smile but not a smile: "Hou Ye's whole person is like this. Once he wants to do something, he will never miss any opportunity. of."

Bo Ruoyou didn't realize his response, and found it interesting: "When I see Deputy Commander Ning in the daytime, I only feel that others are murderous, but I can only be in front of Lord Hou..."

"It's just like a cat." Father Fu added, "You get used to it when you see too much. There are many powerful people who follow Hou Ye. They are all alone outside. When they come to Hou Ye, they are quite obedient."

Bo Ruo thought and thought about it, only realizing that it was true. In the bottom of her heart, she couldn't help but have a little respect for Huo Wei Tower. Everyone has the desire to be strong, not to mention that she herself had already seen the style of Huo Wei Tower's behavior.

Sending Bo Ruoyou away, Father Fu hummed back to the main courtyard and entered the study room. He saw that Huo Weilou had already been sitting behind the bookcase. The pile of books was laid out, and he was already impatient to read those obscure books. .

Father Fu said with interest: "Master Hou clearly wants to discuss matters with the Ministry of War tomorrow. How can old slaves know that Master Hou will rest tomorrow?"

Huo Weilou raised his hand and threw the two booklets to the corner of the table, "If you want to take a break, you can rest. This is tomorrow's booklet. You can send the maid into the palace tomorrow morning."

Father Fu murmured as he went to get the zucchini, "It's very important, and now it's more and more to use public for personal gain." He said that he looked at Huo Wei Tower, seemingly mocking, "Didn't Hou Ye say to be tolerant? I don't care about Fanben, but I asked Ning Xiao to send the exhibits over. You have to follow it by yourself. Ning Xiao still disappointed you when you didn't do it well."

Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows faintly, but was choked by Father Fu.
