The Delicate Lady Coroner

Bo Ruoyou was so shocked that he was stiff on the spot, but the deep concern in Huo Weilou’s eyes had not yet subsided. He looked at her up and down very quickly, and saw that she was still in good shape before his eyebrows stretched slightly, and he looked behind her and saw that only Zhou Liang was there. With a government official, his eyes suddenly darkened, “Only you are here?”

Bo Ruoyou slowly returned to her senses. She dropped her hand on the doorbolt, nodded first, and asked in a daunting voice: “Why did Hou Ye come here?”

The horror in her eyes half disappeared, but at this moment there was a bright light, and she looked at Huo Weilou motionlessly, the tightest string broke, and she was still in a daze. Although she was asking him, she still felt like a dream.

Huo Weilou looked at her deeply, “You haven’t returned to Beijing for two days, why do you think I am here?”

Bo Ruoyou’s heart was hot, and he still looked at him without blinking. It turned out that it had only been two days, but the first time she saw him just now, she actually felt like many years have passed, what Huo Weilou meant. It was clear that her sluggish heart beat twice, and only then did she feel that her hands and feet warmed up after being overly frightened, and the tip of her nose became a little sore.

Huo Weilou saw that she only looked at herself but didn’t speak. Her eyes changed from surprise to joy. Now she felt a little bit of grievance. Her heart was soft. He couldn’t help but leaned forward and held her hand. This touch made him realize Her palms were full of cold sweat, and he saw that she was panicked, and his voice softened, “What’s the situation now?”

This remark made Bo Ruoyou look up, and Huo Weilou came! There is even more hope to find Wu Xiang’s disappearance!

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, and quickly explained: “This village is weird. They should be the people who escaped from a plague-stricken village many years ago. The dead babies were used as sacrifices. We I didn’t know when I came, but found an anomaly during the inquiry, and only stayed here for two days. It is already certain that they have done other evil things, but the most important thing is that Wu’s head is gone—”

Her tone became more and more anxious, and she subconsciously held him with her backhand. “Wu Catch first two hours ago and followed Granny Zhang out. Later, when Granny Zhang came back, Wu Catchou never came back. We have already found two families. Among them, The two brothers are gone, and I suspect that the two brothers are going to catch Wu’s head.”

Her voice tightened, and her eyes became even more anxious. She was asking him for help. Huo Weilou understood it, and her voice became calmer again, “Don’t worry, someone knows where Wu Xiang has gone.”

Bo Ruoyou looked anxious, “Who knows?”

Huo Weilou turned and looked at the courtyard gate, “Bring people in!”

When the voice settled, two Houfu servants walked in with a man. This person had been **** with five flowers and had a lot of mud stains on his body. Bo Ruoyou recognized this person as the Wu family eldest brother.

Huo Wei said in the corridor: “I just ran into them on the way here. He took his sister to walk the night. We were asking for directions, but we saw his flaws, and then we used some means to know that you really are in this mountain.”

Only now did Bo Ruoyou look at the people who followed Huo Wei Building. This time, Huo Wei Building is not carrying embroidered clothes, but the servants of the Hou Mansion. Others are also in regular clothes, without any beacon dragon ornaments, in front of them. In the face of these attendants, he still held her hand, Bo Ruoyou knew that she was rude, but the idea of ​​her struggling only began to die for a moment.

The eldest brother of the Wu family was pushed and knelt on the ground by the attendants. At this moment, he was no longer as honest and honest as he saw in the day. His face was pale and his head was covered with cold sweat. After kneeling down, his eyes were full of evil birds and stared at Huo. Dangerous building.

How could Huo Weilou be moved by his look, he asked without changing his face: “Do you know where Wu’s head has gone?”

Brother Wu still stared at him, but Huo Weilou didn’t have much patience. He glanced outside the courtyard. Although he didn’t say anything, he immediately changed the face of Brother Wu. He swallowed with difficulty, “Go to the black He followed Aunt Zhang, and we found out that he had escaped from the steep **** beside the road, but it was also a cold pool below. If he didn’t know the water, I’m afraid he would have drowned.”

Huo Weilou finished listening, and turned to ask Bo Ruoyou, “Do you know where is the Black Water Pool?”

Bo Ruoyou nodded immediately, and then turned to tell the servant, “Did you hear? Go to Hou Yang, and ask him to find Wu Cattou near Heishuitan, he will definitely find it.”

Huo Weilou ordered a few more Houfu attendants to follow, and the group of six quickly left the yard.

Bo Ruoyou still looked nervous looking at the direction of the courtyard entrance, Huo Weilou squeezed her palm: “Don’t worry, as long as there is no accident, you will be able to find it. Yamen’s head catcher is neat and won’t be so easy. .”

Bo Ruoyou raised his eyes to look at him, with trust in his eyes, and he whispered.

Huo Weilou looked at her, and the more he looked at her, the more unpleasant he was, and he stepped through the door. At this moment, he saw Zhang Yu and heard someone yelling in the inner room. Bo Ruoyou explained the identity of the two, and Huo Weilou frowned. , Looked at the empty wing room on the other side.

He ordered people to enter and light the lights. When the lights in the wing were lit, he pulled Bo Ruoyou into the door. The attendants retreated wittily, and suddenly only two of them were left in the room. Until then, Bo Ruoyou shouldered The back really eased.

The room was simple, Huo Weilou took her to sit on an open chair, and then pulled a chair for herself to sit in front of her.

The two were almost face to face, Huo Weilou spread her palms, brushed the wet sweat on it, and raised her eyes to look at her, “If I am in the future, you will always be here tonight?”

Bo Ruoyou thought that a moment ago, his fingertips couldn’t help but tremble slightly, and nodded: “Yes, it’s very likely that something has happened to Wu’s head, so I asked other people to find him first. I thought it was just Hou Ye. …”

Huo Weilou held her hand tightly, “I thought someone from the village came?”

Bo Ruoyou let out a “um”, seeing his gaze pulse, he felt some enthusiasm from behind, and was afraid that he would feel timid, and then said: “The people in this village look very simple. They also don’t leave the village all the year round, but they not only believe in gods and worship with infants, but they also do other things that hurt the nature and justice. Most of them are people who escaped from the plague village. The original villagers here were all murdered by them.”

“All of them add up to no more than a dozen people, but they murdered the entire Heishui Village. After occupying the magpie’s nest, they have spent so many years at ease here. If we have not found this place, the world is afraid No one knows about this, the old woman in the house where we live, actually used her own granddaughter to sacrifice to the river god…”

The more Bo Ruoyou talked about it, the more terrified he felt, and he sighed: “They all look simple and honest, but they are all people who kill people without blinking. For those weird gods, even at their own relatives, I feel terrible.”

This is indeed the most terrifying part of this village. Bo Ruoyou didn’t have to say what he thought, but he said so much unconsciously. When he finished speaking, he felt relieved in his heart. Huo Weilou finished listening and pinched her again. In the palm of his hand, “The village you said has been plagued is called Guzhang Village?”

Bo Ruoyou was surprised, “Master Hou knows?”

Huo Weilou nodded, “You didn’t return all night for the first night, so I didn’t think it was right, so I asked why the Yamen went out of the city. Then I learned that Wu Xiang found out that Guzhang Village believed in the river god, and it happened. I have read the files about the plague in Guzhang Village.”

Bo Ruoyou was a little bit confused. Huo Weilou explained the plague in the two lakes five years ago, and then said: “I read this dossier at that time, because it did not originate from a flood, so I never looked at it carefully. But in this village, I But some impressions.”

Bo Ruoyou understood, “Wu Catou was going to send someone to the Qinshui County office, but he didn’t send anyone to ask because of insufficient manpower. He originally thought about returning to the capital tomorrow, but didn’t want something to happen tonight.”

Huo Weilou sighed as he heard it, “You are right to be wary. This is a deserted place, and they are all desperadoes, but there will be no room for anything that moves. I will find out about the Guzhang Village in the afternoon. I will see you in the evening. You didn’t worry about bringing people out before returning to the city, and there was no trace along the way. If Guzhang Village started from the capital, it would not have been like yours. It was still a long distance away. Fortunately, I was lucky. You guys.”

Bo Ruoyou was a little moved. They walked and stopped before they arrived in this mountain village. Huowei Tower must have been very difficult to walk all the way at night, but he was still here tonight, when she was the most fearful and frightened, and her heart was hot. On the face, he asked: “Hou Ye came out like this, can you delay Hou Ye’s business?”

Huo Weilou laughed, “You should come if you are delayed.”

Bo Ruoyou’s face was reddish, and the corners of her lips moved a few times and finally said, “I was a little scared. When Master Hou is here, I won’t be afraid anymore.”

Huo Weilou squeezed her hand and tightened it, and there was some warmth in the eyes. He looked at her deeply for a moment, but only said: “If this is the case, then I think it’s worth it.”

Bo Ruoyou’s panic disappeared at this moment. Looking at the Huo Wei Tower in front of her, she could not understand that the edges and corners of his body were soaked in gentleness, and she did not know whether it was because she had not seen it in two days. All the servants of the Hou Mansion with him.”

She had never seen him running around with an embroidered troupe, or the first time she saw him without an embroidered trooper.

Huo Weilou’s lips curled slightly when he heard this, “Only Wu Zhaohou wears embroidered clothes.”

Bo Ruoyou was inexplicable, “You are Wu Zhaohou…”

“Yes or not.”

Huo Weilou’s tone was unpredictable, and Bo Ruoyou hadn’t reacted yet, but someone had returned in the courtyard outside. Both her expressions changed. Huo Weilou first let go of her, “I’m afraid Wu Xiang has news.”

Bo Ruoyou’s hand was released, still a little surprised, she thought he would ignore this…

She was anxious to see who was coming back, so she walked out first, and when she left the door, she immediately saw Hou Yang, and Hou Yang quickly stepped forward, “Girl, I found the head catcher! It’s in the Black Water Pool!”

When the words settled, Hou Yang saw Huo Wei Tower standing behind Bo Ruoyou at a glance. His expression changed and he hurriedly saluted.

Huo Weilou waved his hand, and Bo Ruoyou asked anxiously, “Is it good to catch the head?”

Hou Yang nodded, “No injury, just fell into the water, and then was blocked by the two brothers of the Zhang family. The catcher caught one of them, but the other one ran away. Right now, the others are still there because of the arrest. When the head fell into the water pool, human bones were found in the water pool, and their altar was also found. I caught the head and asked the girl and Lord Hou to come and have a look.”

Bo Ruoyou breathed a sigh of relief first, and then he was taken aback, human bones? altar?

She hurriedly turned to look at Huo Wei Building, “Master Hou is going?”

Huo Weilou nodded and ordered Hou Yang, “Lead the way.”

The two attendants were left looking at Granny Zhang. Bo Ruoyou and Huo Wei Building left the yard. As soon as they left the hospital, they found that except for the horses in Huo Wei Building outside the yard, there was an ox cart parked and sleeping on the ox cart. Personally, it is Wu’s sister. She has been ill in bed for many years. At this moment, she is sleeping on the bullock cart wrapped in a quilt, and she also covers her head and face with the quilt.

Only then did Bo Ruoyou understand why the Wu family’s eldest brother was so obedient. She had never seen the Wu family sister’s appearance that day, so she wanted to see it now. As she was going forward, Huo Weilou held her and said, “You don’t have to look. Now, she was sick.”

Bo Ruoyou originally wanted to make sure of the matter. He dismissed the idea when Huo Weilou said so. Not far from Heishuitan, they walked all the way to Heishuitan. On the road, Bo Ruoyou asked: “Hou Since the master has read the files, he should know what happened to the plague in Guzhang Village back then.”

Huo Weilou nodded, “It happened fifteen or six years ago. At that time, not only Guzhang Village, but several villages around Guzhang Village also had people sick. It was just that the location of Guzhang Village was convenient to close the mountain. It was sent to Guzhang Village, and several exits were sealed, so that they were not allowed to come out and people outside were not allowed to enter.”

At this point, his voice became heavy, “You have learned medical science. You know that this kind of plague can only be done in this way. After the mountain was closed, it was to make the people in the village self-sufficient. Because of the strangeness of this plague, some It will die, but some people can survive here. It has been sealed for more than half a year, but none of the people in this village survived.”

“The situation in the village is very tragic. People who died early have been turned into bones. The government sent people into the village to collect their bodies and buried more than a hundred people. Since then, Guzhang Village and the surrounding mountain villages have become uninhabited. land.”

What Huo Weilou said was almost the same as Bo Ruoyou’s guess. She sighed: “I thought everyone was dead, but it wasn’t the case. Some people escaped, and when they got here, they killed the villagers here—”

The experience of Guzhang Village is really tragic, but the villagers here are so innocent. The two of them were silent for a while, but at this time a grayish white appeared on the horizon. This terrifying night is finally over, and the sky is about to dawn!

When the Heishui Pool was reached, there was more light coming out through the clouds, and there was no need to light a torch. Hou Yang led the way, and along a winding path, a group of people reached the deep pool under the Heishui Pool. Ruoyou saw the stone statue of the child and the Zhang family brother lying on the side at a glance. He was wounded on his forehead, blood was flowing on his face, and he collapsed weakly at the moment.

Wu Xiang was standing on the edge of the water pool and looking towards the bottom of the water. He turned around when he heard the sound of footsteps. When he saw Huo Wei Tower, Wu Xiang stepped forward in disbelief, “Say it’s Lord Hou’s here, Xiao People still can’t believe it, it turns out to be Lord Hou! The villain pays homage to Lord Hou!”

Huo Weilou waved his hand, and Wu Xiang said anxiously: “Has this case alarmed Master Hou? Or did the villain delay his effort, so Master Sun asks Master Hou for help?”

Huo Weilou said indifferently: “Neither, this case is still your Yamen case, so that the Secretary does not interfere.”

“Then Lord Hou——”

Wu Xiang didn’t understand, but he didn’t dare to be careless.

Huo Weilou’s sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then said solemnly: “I came here not for tolerance, but for a private matter.”

Private matter? This time it was Wu Xiang’s turn to be full of questions, “This place is remote, what is the matter for Master Hou to come here?”

Huo Weilou glanced at Bo Ruoyou, and said without changing his face: “Naturally, it is a very important thing.”

Wu Xiang also asked, but where did Wu Zhaohou’s personal affairs get him to take care of, and he said respectfully, “That’s how it is, but fortunately Lord Hou is here, this time it has helped us a lot!”

Bo Ruoyou’s cheeks were reddish by the side. Fortunately, the sky was still a little dark. Others could not see clearly. She hurriedly said: “Holding heads, I already know what their illness is because of their illness. Granny Zhang was caught by Hou Yang as soon as she returned. The Wu family brothers and sisters were about to escape, but they were hit by Master Hou and were also caught. The others have not yet gone to see. Here is the Zhang family brother alone?”

Wu Xiang nodded, “Hou Yang told me.” He pointed to the people on the ground, “I saw them conspiring to do something against us, these two brothers, and the Wu family boss, the most cruel La, it’s good to catch them now. His brother can’t escape very far. I have asked the person who just found him to chase him. Xiao Bo, the most important thing at the moment is another matter, and this matter will have to work hard for you. “

He turned to point to the water pool, “There are many human bones in the ground. After I fell down, I accidentally brought out a section. Just now I went down and touched it again. You fished out a lot, and there are these few stone statues. You don’t know that I was scared to death just now!”

Seven stone statues about the same height as a real person stood on the edge of this black buzzing pool, and even Bo Ruoyou felt chills in her heart, but she turned her eyes and glanced at Huo Weilou, and saw him standing beside him calmly. Feeling at peace in her heart, she didn’t realize there was something terrifying, so she stepped forward and looked at the seal script carefully.

Huo Wei Tower stood with his hands in his hands. Although he was also exploring the water pool and the stone statues, he had no intention of stepping forward to inquire carefully. His eyes swept Bo Ruoyou from time to time. However, although he didn’t come for tolerance, Wu Xiang’s heart was disturbed. Incomparable.

When Bo Ruoyou approached the stone statue at the farthest point, he approached Bo Ruoyou cautiously and whispered: “Bo Ruoyou, why did Master Hou come here? “

Bo Ruoyou was gesturing to write the seal inscription, and when he heard the words, his hands became stiff, “Didn’t Hou Ye say it, it’s his personal business.”

Wu Xiang tweeted, “Xiaobo, you don’t know Master Hou, you think too simple, what kind of character is Master Hou, how remote is this place, will he have any private affairs here?”

Wu Xiang touched his chin, his eyes suddenly changed, “Could it be that it is the Wei Cang of Qinshui County?”

Bo Ruoyou looked inexplicable, and Wu Xiang said: “Weicang in Qinshui County is in the southeast of Qinshui County. It is not far from here. Is it because the imperial court is going to rebuild Weicang? You don’t know that the war in the northwest is tight and the military is ready. The supply was not enough. A few days ago, it was reported that the food in the warehouse was replaced by moldy food. Then he colluded with the food merchant and all the money was filled with his own pockets. It was so corrupt. It is said that even the head of the household and war department I ate it and hung it down.”

Although Wu Xiang did not go to court, Sun Zhao was a close minister of the emperor, and Bo Ruoyou knew about it. But Huo Weilou came here not because of Wei Cang. She smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t know this.”

Wu Xiang shook his head, “I think Lord Hou is kind to you, and you still need to know.”

Bo Ruoyou was a little guilty, and hurriedly turned his words to the human bones in the pool. After another two sticks of incense, the sky was already bright, and Wu Xiang invited two good government officials to go into the pool to fish for human bones.

Bo Ruoyou watched them fish their bones while looking at the Huo Wei Tower. She noticed that Huo Wei Tower had been standing by for a while. She had no plans to leave. She paced to the Huo Wei Tower and whispered: “Master Hou is here at night. Come, when do you plan to return to Beijing?”

Huo Weilou asked unhurriedly, “Do you want me to go back earlier?”

Bo Ruoyou shook his head hurriedly, “Naturally not. I just thought that Lord Hou was busy, and I don’t know when I will salvage this time, and there is more than one person’s bones here. It takes a lot of time to examine the bones. I don’t even know today. Enough is enough, Master Hou didn’t come here to do errands, it’s really not good to let Master Hou look around.”

Huo Weilou turned his eyes to look at her, “Before the official business in Beijing, you don’t have to think about this, I just ask you, do you want me to stay, or do you want me to return to Beijing immediately?”

Bo Ruoyou was speechless for a moment, “I—”

Huo Weilou said again: “I will do what you want me to do.”

Bo Ruoyou was taken aback, only to realize that it was impossible to say this from the entrance of Huo Wei’s building. She looked at him suspiciously, but it was not a joke to see that he was serious. NS.

Huo Weilou looked at her with long eyes, her heart beating faster and faster, thinking of him coming overnight, she finally said: “Then Lord Hou will stay for one day, just stay one day.”

The corners of Huo Weilou’s lips raised, without saying a word, but the whole person was obviously happy.

Bo Ruoyou couldn’t laugh or cry. On this side, Wu Xiang fished out a pile of bones from the bottom of the water. He gritted his teeth and said: “How do I feel that the water is getting colder and colder? Do these people know someone? I avenged them, and they all ran out?”

He yelled and looked around, only the face of the Yacha who was fishing with him changed drastically. He laughed silently, touched the water on his face and shouted at Bo Ruoyou on the bank: ” Xiaobo, you probably have a look at the light skull. There should be many people, but now there are only a pile of bones, it is really difficult to determine the identity of these people.”

Huo Weilou heard the words and said: “Before this Hou came, he had sent someone to the Qinshui County office. As long as he finds the household registration booklet and sees who settled here, he will surely be able to determine the identity of the deceased soonest.”

Wu Xiang smiled and said flatteredly: “Thank you Lord Hou, Lord Hou will send someone to go there. It will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and save the little people a lot of trouble. Lord Hou is really sympathetic to the little people, and the little people really don’t want to pay— —”

After Wu Xiang finished speaking, thinking that Bo Ruoyou was recommended by Huowei Tower, and that Huo Weilou stayed for such a long time, only Bo Ruoyou could talk to him, so he smiled and said: “After returning to Beijing, let Xiao Xiao Bo think of a way to thank Lord Hou for the little people.”

Bo Ruoyou knew why she was, so he listened to Huo Weilou asking her from behind: “Oh? How can Bo Ruoyou thank Benhou?”
