The Delicate Lady Coroner

Rao has seen how many storms and waves have been seen in Huo Weilou, and he was a little speechless at this time, but he quickly frowned: “She came to Qingzhou for ten years, and this time she is returning to Beijing, she is also with her foster father. “

Father Fu shook his head, “The old slave is puzzled. Our people said this was asked from a neighbor, saying that about eight or nine years ago, someone from the capital found them. According to reports, it was noisy and unsightly. Someone from the neighboring house came forward to inquire, and the person who came showed his identity and was quite contented. This made people know that the Youyou family was related to the capital family.”

“In the following years, no one came to the capital anymore, and gradually no one remembered this. Everyone thought Youyou would live in Qingshan County for a lifetime. But more than ten days ago, the Cheng’s house where Youyou lived was closed. Several servants were also dismissed, and the others assumed that they had just gone out, not knowing that they were going back to the capital.”

Huo Weilou only asked, “Then how do you know that she has kissed Lin Zhaoding?”

Father Fu hurriedly said, “The Embroidery Envoy found a maidservant who was waiting at the Cheng’s house. The maidservant was taking care of Mrs. Cheng. She said that Cheng Yunzhi and his wife were very fond of Youyou, but they sneered at the Bo family and rarely mentioned it. Only three years ago at night, when Mrs. Cheng was seriously ill, let Cheng Yunzhi take Youyou back to the capital, saying that she should not be allowed to stay in Qingshan County for a lifetime. At least the marriage with the Lin family was excellent. …”

Father Fu sighed, “It seems that Youyou herself doesn’t know about dating, otherwise she will be uncomfortable when she sees the Lin family.”

Huo Weilou’s brows wrung tightly, “Bo’s family has fallen a long time ago, do you know what’s the situation in their house?”

Although Huo Weilou knew about the Bo family, the Bo family now has no high-ranking officials in court, and he only knew that there was such a family.

Father Fu frowned, “The’Three Books of a Family’ is still what they said decades ago. Like their unknighted family, they also rely on this reputation to mount the family. If the old slave remembers correctly, now it is thin. The elder brother is on duty in the Ministry of Industry, and Xu is a foreigner like a member…”

Suddenly, Father Fu didn’t know what he thought of, his eyes lit up, “If Youyou really is a daughter of the Bo family, there is only one possibility. She said that her parents have passed away. The funeral at the door was quite frustrating. The third masters in their residence both passed away due to accidents, and the third master of the Bo family just came out of the Hanlin Academy that year and is about to enter the Ministry of Ceremony.”

More than ten years ago, Huo Weilou was just a child himself. Naturally, he didn’t know these things. Father Fu sighed and said, “The Bo family has not produced any great people in two generations. Hope that he was awarded a Jinshi at a young age, and entered the Hanlin just like today’s Young Master Lin. His Majesty has high hopes for him. He wants him to enter the Sixth Department after a few years of experience in the Hanlin Academy. Afterwards, he will go straight up, but he did not expect to have one. In the accident, both husband and wife were killed.”

“After all, the Bo family was considered a family, and Bo Sanye was also considered the emperor’s close minister. Therefore, there was a discussion in the capital at that time. The old slave vaguely remembered that their husband and wife had a young daughter, but after the funeral, everyone slowly forgot it. I have never heard of Miss Bo Jia.” Father Fu frowned, “If it were quiet, how could she follow her foster father and mother to Qingzhou?”

Huo Weilou asked again: “How many daughters does Bo have?”

Father Fu thought for a while, but he was a little dazed, “This old slave doesn’t know, but there are two older brothers on Sanye Bo, and there should be more than one faint young lady.”

Huo Weilou’s phoenix eyes were half narrow, “When Lin Huai mentioned the marriage, his expression was ordinary, and Lin Zhao’s marriage is scheduled for next year. If the daughter who is engaged to Lin Zhao has not been in the capital for many years, or even far away in Qingshan County, how is this wedding period? It’s fixed? And after seeing her, both his father and son didn’t recognize it. Lin Zhao wouldn’t even know the name of his future wife.”

Father Fu’s eyebrows jumped, “Master Hou said that the maidservant had heard it wrong? The person who fixed the marriage was not Youyou, but the other young lady of the Bo family?”

Huo Weilou shook his head, “I’m afraid that the accident happened to the Bo family. The good Miss Bo family has never returned to Beijing for many years. She seems to have broken contact with the Bo family. I’m afraid that something happened back then.”

After a pause, Huo Weilou asked again: “What is the status of her foster father and mother?”

Father Fu shook his head, “I don’t know this. I only asked the names of the two people. They know some medical skills, but I don’t know the others. Although Madam Cheng opened a medical clinic, her medical skills are not very good, only looking at some simple diseases. “

Father Fu pondered for a moment, “If Hou Ye wants to know, why not call Youyou, then call Shi Lang Lin to ask?”

There are a lot of doubts right now, the simplest of course is to ask the person involved, and if Bo Ruoyou is the daughter of the Bo family, for Lin Huai it is still a pleasure to meet the daughter of the deceased. However, Huo Weilou said calmly, “No hurry.”

Father Fu was a little puzzled, but Huo Weilou continued: “If this matter changes, Lin Huai is afraid that it will not be possible to tell them all. Let the people in Beijing investigate and quickly find out.”

Huo Weilou seemed a little cautious about this matter, and Father Fu thought it was not bad, “Then…may I ask Youyou?”

Father Fu regards Bo Ruoyou as his own, and he is anxious at the moment, but he wants to ask her personally, but Huo Weilou disagrees, “Don’t ask her, her foster father and mother didn’t even tell her about the marriage, and she knew How many?”

Father Fu felt that it made sense when he thought about it, and when he thought that Bo Ruoyou was actually a daughter of the Bo family, and his life experience was so rough, he couldn’t help but sigh. The third master of the family followed his majesty. After the accident of the third master of the Bo family, his majesty also ordered someone to give a funeral ceremony, but he did not expect that he would be able to foresee the daughter of the third master of the Bo family.”

Father Fu loved Bo Ruoyou at first, and this time he felt compassionate, “If you and the Lin family married you are Youyou, but after an accident, the marriage was changed. Then the Bo family are too sorry for Youyou, Lord Hou. , You have to help Youyou.”

Huo Weilou looked at Father Fu, “What can I do for you?”

Father Fu felt that Huo Weilou’s expression was a little scary at the moment, but he said for granted, “Of course it is to help Youyou get the marriage back.”

Huo Weilou sighed slightly, and soon his phoenix eyes condensed slightly: “This time when I return to Beijing, Hong’er and Guilan also want to take the waterway. Guilan’s legs and feet are inconvenient, and the waterway is more convenient.”

Father Fu’s eyes lit up, “Hou Ye thought about it?”

Huo Weilou said solemnly: “Let Lin Huai and Wu Yu come.”

Father Fu looked happy, turned around and went out to invite people. Soon, Lin Huai and Wu Yu arrived together. Huo Weilou said: “This time I want to go back to Beijing by water, the minister Laolin takes the corpses of Feng and Wang first. When you return to Beijing, Yue Mingquan will also be escorted by you, and this Hou will send some embroidered clothes envoys to accompany you.”

Lin Huai naturally replied respectfully when he heard this, and Huo Weilou said again: “After returning to Beijing, I searched Wang Qingfu’s mansion as soon as possible, and his concubines will also have to be strictly investigated. You don’t need to order them if you want to.”

Lin Huai worked as a minister of the Criminal Ministry for several years, knowing how to put the case to a close, and she accepted it now.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Huai said, “If Lord Hou goes by water, it would be better to let Zhaoer and Lord Hou be on the same route. There are a lot of classics transported back this time. If Lord Hou has an official ship, there will be less damage on the road.”

Huo Wei did not change his face and said: “This trip I do not want to take the official boat. I am not willing to disturb the local government when I come to Luozhou. It is really tiring to prepare for the official boat. I took this opportunity to take a look. How is the livelihood of the people on the road.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Huai felt that Huo Weilou was really dedicated to serving the country and the people, and said hurriedly: “If this is the case, Zhao’er and the lower officials will be entrusted.”

Huo Weilou nodded and looked at Wu Yu, “Wu Shilang is walking with Benhou.”

Wu Yu was a little flattered, but Huo Weilou said, “Wang Qingfu went back to Beijing by water with you back then. If you walk again this time, if you can remember the abnormality, it will be helpful to trace the whereabouts of the relics.”

Wu Yugang’s somewhat relaxed heart was tense again, and he hurriedly responded.

After instructing the two of them, Huo Wei Building went to the Abbot’s room again. Mr. Fu stayed in the courtyard. Some could not wait to find Bo Ruoyou. Bo Ruoyou was packing up his baggage. When Mr. Jing was also surprised.

Father Fu smiled and said: “Youyou, this time we can be on the same road again. Lord Hou is not in a hurry to return to Beijing on this trip, and we can rest on our bones.”

Bo Ruoyou was surprised. He never expected that the Huowei Tower would take the waterway. Even if the waterway is smooth, it will take nearly ten days longer than the land route. Ten days is not a short time for the Huowei Building. According to the Huowei Building’s vigorous temperament, it is really amazing. People are surprised.

However surprised, Bo Ruoyou was also a little happy, “That’s great, there is a father-in-law to be with him again on the way.”

Father Fu smiled with joy. Now that he knows about Bo Ruoyou’s life, he feels a little more pity for her. Bo Ruoyou only feels that Father Fu sees her more and more affectionately.

In the evening, Huo Weilou returned from the outside. After hearing that Father Fu had already informed Bo Ruoyou, he never called her up to give her a good night’s sleep. On the second day, everyone got up early. It was just after dawn. Gathered at the gate of the mountain.

Jing Ming is still the presiding officer, but when the case is decided in Beijing, his presiding position will not be retained. Huo Weilou and his party are about to leave, so he brought Fan and the others to see off. After bidding farewell at the Shanmen , Huo Weilou took the lead to go down the mountain.

At the end of the first month, the cold wind in the early morning was still bitter, especially in the mountains and plains. Bo Ruoyou was wearing a cloak, the imperial horse was behind Father Fu, and there was a carriage behind him, in preparation for the Mingguilan.

Huo Qinghong’s equestrian skills are very good, and he rarely sees the mountains and wilds, so he is also in front of the horse. He learned that Bo Ruoyou will also go to Beijing together, and curiously asked: “Youyou, you want to go to Beijing? What are you doing? I heard that you still have a foster father?”

Huo Qinghong’s word for “youyou” has already been called fluently, but she didn’t change it. Bo Ruoyou was a little helpless when she was asked, and Lin Zhaoyi came immediately, “Girl Bo is going to the capital too?”

Bo Ruo faintly nodded, “Yes, it’s in the capital because of the race.”

She simply responded and answered Huo Qinghong’s words. Father Fu saw Bo Ruoyou talking to Lin Zhao with a deep expression. Huo Wei Louben walked forward and slowed down when he heard the movement.

Lin Huai Yuma followed behind Huo Weilou. Huo Weilou pondered and asked without a trace, “Which girl did Lin Zhaoding kiss?”

Lin Huai smiled and said, “It’s Miss Bo, Master Hou should know about their house.”

“One book and three books.” Huo Weilou nodded, “How did Lin Zhao decide on this girl? Their residence seems not to be very conspicuous these years.”

Lin Huai smiled indifferently, “It was my father’s decision at the time. My father and the Bo’s grandfather were classmates. Later, the two masters of the Bo family became their father’s students. Once they came and went, the two families moved very close. Zhaoer verbally decided on this family when he was young. Although they were inconspicuous in the house these years, they were from a family with a clean family style, so it was nothing.”

Huo Weilou nodded faintly, and did not ask any more.

Huo Qinghong’s chattering sound came from behind. He frowned as he wanted to say something, but he saw that there was a fork in the road not far ahead, and he didn’t say any more. Soon, the group stopped at the fork in the road.

The people led by Lin Huai had to go northward on the official road, while Huowei Tower had to go east to Xiling Ferry. The group said a few goodbyes, and then they separated. When Lin Zhao and his son took the people away, Huo Wei Tower actually Feeling relieved, it seemed that Shirley was guarding something.

Huo Qinghong sprinted to the side of Huo Wei’s building, “Big Brother! I haven’t walked the waterway yet! How about we charter a big boat this time? We can also take the road more leisurely!”

Huo Weilou didn’t even look at him.

When Huo Qinghong heard the words, his face suddenly appeared sad, and Father Fu came forward and smiled: “His Royal Highness, Lord Hou is not really traveling in mountains and rivers, not to mention that we are not too many, and it is really extravagant to pack a big ship. .”

Huo Qinghong looked back and saw that there were nearly 20 people in the party. However, seeing that Huo Weilou had no room for negotiation, he finally turned around and went to Ming Guilan. Bo Ruoyou listened to this, although he dared not dare. Interrupting, but from the bottom of my heart I thought, if you want to return to Beijing soon, you should go by land.

Xiling Ferry is east of Luozhou, from Qixia Mountain. It takes a whole day to get there. Huowei Tower is not a horse and flower. Even though Huo Qinghong is good at riding, he can’t stand it at noon. Abandoned the horse and got into Ming Guilan’s carriage.

Seeing Bo Ruoyou still walking on horseback, Ming Guilan couldn’t help but said: “Bo Ruoyou, can you still hold it? Why don’t you get in the carriage too.”

Bo Ruoyou naturally declined. Ming Guilan glanced at Huo Weilou’s back. Seeing him, he didn’t mean to say anything. After all, Bo Ruoyou wiped his sweat on his horse. It was not as difficult as that day. .

Huo Weilou naturally heard the movement in front of him. Seeing that Bo Ruoyou knew how to advance and retreat, his brows and eyes were somewhat satisfied, and his horse speed also slowed down.

It’s just this slowness. It was already a little late when the group arrived at Xiling Ferry. Xiling Ferry is on the bank of the Lancang River. Due to the large dock, merchant ships and passenger ships stop here, and gradually gather into a prosperous market town with many restaurants and inns above the market. To provide convenience for people traveling from the north to the south, when the Huowei Tower and his party arrived, although it was already the hour, the whole town was still brightly lit, and there was a lot of noisy traffic in the direction of the pier.

Huo Weilou slowed down and asked Bo Ruoyou, “Where is your foster father waiting for you?”

Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, “Foster father said he would wait for the girl in the largest inn in town.”

Huo Weilou was inquiring about it. They were also staying here for one night, but it just so happened that soon after they asked for directions, the group went straight to the inn.

The largest inn in town was named “Tongfu”. When he arrived, it looked like a Qionglou standing there. A group of people dismounted and entered. As soon as Bo Ruoyou followed Fu Gonggong into the door, he saw Cheng Yunzhi at the railing on the second floor.

Due to the large number of people in Huowei Building, there was a lot of movement at the entrance, so many people were surprised to come out to look around. Cheng Yunzhi was one of them, but he didn’t expect Bo Ruoyou to be among them. When the father and daughter met, Bo Ruoyou immediately beamed with joy. She called a foster father, and everyone below looked at Cheng Yunzhi.

Huo Weilou’s phoenix eyes looked at Cheng Yunzhi, and it was not surprising to see that he was a thin middle-aged man, but he looked at Cheng Yunzhi more, but he found a bit weird. Cheng Yunzhi’s clothes are ordinary, he is not confused in the new year, and he describes a bit of vicissitudes. Feeling, but his gaze at Huo Wei Tower was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no surprise in his eyes. It seemed that he could see his identity at once.

Seeing Cheng Yunzhi walking down on crutches, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly greeted Cheng Yunzhi on the stairs, and gently called: “Foster father.”

Cheng Yunzhi glanced towards Huo Weilou and the others, “What’s the matter?”

Bo Ruoyou whispered: “It’s Wu Zhaohou, and I have to go to Beijing by water.”

Cheng Yunzhi didn’t say anything, but looked at Huo Qinghong and Ming Guilan. Both of them were also dressed in Chinese clothes. At first glance, they were rich or noble. Thin Ruoyou whispered: “It’s Ming Gongzi and Huo Guogong. Shizi.”

“Ming? Which Ming?” Cheng Yunzhi retracted his gaze and asked in a low voice, as if father and daughter hadn’t whispered for two long periods of time.

“I don’t know much either. I only heard that he is a juvenile genius doctor. His father is now the director of the Taiyuan Hospital.”

As soon as Bo Ruoyou said this, Bo Ruoyou keenly discovered that Cheng Yunzhi’s body was stiff, and soon, Cheng Yunzhi looked behind her with a respectful smile on his face, Bo Ruoyou turned around, and saw Huo Weilou leading everyone. come over.

Cheng Yunzhi handed over his hands in a hurry: “Waiting to see the son——”

Knowing his identity and not revealing it, Cheng Yunzhi is naturally a smart person. Huo Weilou looked at him and nodded and said, “You will board the ship tomorrow, so you don’t have to bother with your father and daughter.”

Cheng Yun hesitated and thanked him without hesitation. Huo Weilou looked at him two more times, and led Huo Qinghong upstairs. Father Fu stayed behind, and he was also looking at the scope of Yunzhi. He smiled and said: “Youyou always mentioned the adoptive father, today is considered to be I see, Youyou has done the errands for our son this time, and we have taken her as our own. It is also fate to be able to walk again this time, and I hope you will not think that we are too noisy.”

Cheng Yunzhi was quite respectful, “I don’t dare to go down.”

Father Fu greeted him with a few words, and then told Bo Ruoyou where her room was, and asked her father and daughter to talk. Bo Ruoyou followed Cheng Yunzhi to the guest room. As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Yunzhi’s face sank.

Bo Ruoyou felt wrong for a long time, and asked at this moment: “Foster father, but is there someone you know?”

Cheng Yunzhi sat at the table and did not immediately answer this. He sighed for a long while, “No matter, if you want to return to the capital, there will be this day sooner or later. I only hope that there will be no accidents along the way. .”

After speaking, he turned to look at Bo Ruoyou, “Youyou, what kind of case is you doing this time?”

The father and daughter hadn’t been seen for many days. Cheng Yunzhi wanted to ask a few more questions. Bo Ruoyou briefly explained the case of Famen Temple. When Lin Huai was there, Cheng Yun’s expression immediately changed. “

Bo Ruoyou nodded, “Even the son of his family followed, saying that he has entered the Imperial Academy, and this time he will select the Buddhist scriptures for your majesty and send it to Xiangguo Temple.”

Cheng Yunzhi’s expression was even more complicated after hearing this, “Young Master Lin?”

Seeing Cheng Yunzhi’s face, Bo Ruoyou was even more suspicious, “Yes, foster father, is the Lin family an old friend?”

Cheng Yunzhi looked at Bo Ruoyou awkwardly, as if he didn’t know how to speak for a while, and then said, “It’s… it’s an old friend…have they asked you?”

Bo Ruoyou was a little inexplicable, “Naturally never, I just helped Master Hou with errands, but the young man of the Lin family knows my surname is Bo, saying that Bo’s surname is rare, and he has some fate with Bo’s surname.”

Cheng Yunzhi hurriedly asked, “How about Young Master Lin?”

Bo Ruo thought for a while, “Well-mannered, young handsome.”

Cheng Yunzhi nodded, but his expression was quite complicated. Bo Ruoyou knew that Cheng Yunzhi had remembered the old things, and he didn’t know where to ask. He said: “Foster father, Hou Ye promised to recommend the daughter to the Zhaofu Yamen after returning to Beijing. I’ve done it.”

Cheng Yunzhi only returned to his senses, but his eyes were bitter, “Youyou, will you not do anything after you return to Beijing?”

Bo Ruoyou blinked, “What is the foster father worried about? Are you worried that the Bo family will deny me because of my work?”

Her tone was very calm, but Cheng Yunzhi felt distressed when she heard it, “Miss Noble Family has no one to do such a business, and I also blame me for not being soft-hearted and shouldn’t teach you this. The Bo family prides itself on being innocent and noble, they…”

Bo Ruoyou smiled calmly, clearly a face that was still a bit childish, but at this time his expression was firm and unshakable, “Foster father rest assured, if they don’t recognize it, they don’t recognize it, and the daughter doesn’t care.”

Cheng Yunzhi wanted to speak again, but knew that Bo Ruoyou had a temperament. He still sighed and didn’t say any more, but suddenly realized a question and asked her, “Wu Zhaohou do they know your life experience?”

“I don’t know.”

Cheng Yunzhi shook his head, “It’s impossible to know, you are doing errands under his hands. If the rumors are true, it is impossible for him to know nothing about you based on his mind and means.”

Bo Ruoyou thought for a while, “Some of the rumors are true, and some are not. Whether he knows it or not, the foster father can rest assured that Master Hou appreciates his daughter a lot for his post-mortem technique, at least he will not embarrass his daughter. “

Cheng Yunzhi looked at Bo Ruo’s quiet eyes and sighed, “You trust him very much. He is Wu Zhaohou. He let you see it, but he allows you to see it. You don’t think too well. .”

Bo Ruoyou laughed, “Foster father really relaxes. His daughter is neither a court official nor a wicked person, and Master Hou is very talented and treats his daughter really well. Not only that, he has saved his daughter twice. I almost thought that the prediction would come true back then.”

Cheng Yunzhi’s expression suddenly changed, “Have you had an accident?”

Bo Ruoyou said it roughly, and Cheng Yunzhi immediately paled by two points, “Youyou, you would rather believable in this matter, but you would never care about it.”

Seeing Cheng Yunzhi’s expression nervous, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly calmed down, and said several times that he had turned the danger into barrenness. After finishing speaking, Cheng Yunzhi hesitated and said: “In this way, Wu Zhaohou is your nobleman.”

Bo Ruoyou thought for a while, and felt that there was some truth.

Cheng Yunzhi was wary of Huo Wei Building, and he felt a little grateful when he heard this. Seeing that Bo Ruoyou trusted the Huo Wei Building and his party, he didn’t say anything more.

In the wing not far away, Father Fu had some thoughts after seeing Cheng Yunzhi. Huo Weilou was a little strange when he saw it, “What’s wrong? What did her foster father say?”

Father Fu shook his head, and said in a strange way: “Master Hou, somehow, the old slave feels that the faint foster father is a bit familiar…”

Huo Weilou frowned, “How familiar?”

Father Fu smiled bitterly, “The old slave is getting older and has a bad memory, but I always feel like I have seen him somewhere, and he is not a little person without a name.”
