Chapter 59 - Three Plants of Mei 14
I don’t know if Bo Ruoyou was frightened the night before. This night Bo Ruoyou slept unsteadily. The next day, he woke up before it was too bright. He took a photo in the mirror, and the red marks on his neck were half-dissipated, leaving only two pale blacks. Qing, only the wrist is still a little serious.
Although she is not squeamish, she was also well-trained since she was a child with her foster father and mother. Except for her palms, she has some thin calluses, and her body is delicate and tender. She was scalded on her wrist a few days ago, and she suffered again last night. Huo Weilou’s heavy hand made her really dumbfounded.
It was still early, and she gave herself the medicine again, but before she left the house, she heard the singing of curly Nana coming from under the cabin.
When Liu Huiniang was singing.
The drama is not clear, but the tune is sad and sad. At this dawn, with the light and continuous wind of the river, the slightest piercing into the heart of Thin Ruoyou also made her mood a little low. She stood by the window and did not move, her eyes fell. Above the indigo stratum of dawn in the sky.
The case is now the best ending.
Although Bo Ruoyou is not a tolerance, but after a few years of post-mortem examinations, he has seen a lot of sorrows and joys and people are sinister. Therefore, even if the reason is put first, there is the word “fa” in the end, she cannot agree that it is hurting people because of reason. Not guilty.
Xiguang burst out of the clouds, and when the sky was bright, the mournful tune stopped. Last night, the boat docked at the far end of the berth. The surroundings were quiet and undisturbed. At this moment, they started again and drew over to the ferry terminal.
When Bo Ruoyou went out, he saw that the door next door was also open. Huo Weilou walked out of the door and glanced at her neck. Today, she wore a skirt with a higher collar, which could block the print on her neck. Live, lest Cheng Yunzhi sees distressed.
“Master Hou—”
Bo Ruoyoufu blessed his body, Huo Weilou said, “Follow Benhou in.”
Bo Ruoyou raised his brows slightly, and he hesitated for a moment. He still entered the door. Huo Weilou closed the door, and the next moment he approached him. Bo Ruoyou was startled, and just stepped back when he saw Huo Weilou raise his hand again. Poke towards her neckline.
She covered her neckline and looked at Huo Weilou in shock, “What is Hou Ye going to do?”
Huo Weilou frowned and said solemnly: “Look at how your injury is.”
If he used to be so stern, he must have said that Bo Ruoyou did not dare to resist, but now he had to pull his collar when he started. How could she agree, she put both hands on the neckline, and backed twice. Everyone leaned against the wall, looking helpless and annoyed, “Master Hou…mind girls are also women, you can’t be like this…”
She was a little bit embarrassed when she said, turned her sideways, her face was slightly hot, and her voice was slightly low: “It’s all right for Admiral Hou Ye to treat her as a man. The last time she even lifted her. The skirts, if you don’t know the nature of Lord Hou, the daughters really dare not let Lord Hou get close…”
In the end, he was bold enough in front of him, and he dared to say it clearly. Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, and he was a little amused at the moment, “What kind of temperament is this lord?”
Bo Ruoyou glanced at him sideways, and whispered: “Everyone knows that Lord Hou is not like a girl…”
Her tone was quite determined, but Huo Weilou raised her brows when she listened. He looked at Bo Ruoyou’s appearance and knew that she really believed this. Kind of not close to female sex.
There are no women around him, it doesn’t mean that he won’t be tempted by women, but he is an adult man who is over double ten years old.
Bo Ruoyou is still hiding by the wall, it looks like he really is a bully who is bullying a good girl. Some smiles appeared in his eyes, he took a step back, and rarely spread his hands, “Fine, then you roll up your sleeves Come and show Benhou.”
If you look down at the collar, you can look at it. Now it is rude to come up and pull and pull. Seeing Huo Weilou retreating, Bo Ruoyou just stood up straight, only showing his wrists, “Hey, look at Houye—”
After taking the medicine in the morning, the redness and swelling were half gone, but because Huo Wei’s hands downstairs were so hot, there was a circle of bruises on his wrists. It looked a little scary. Huo Wei stepped upstairs, wringing his brows, and raising his hands. Coming to catch her wrist, Bo Ruoyou took a step back and retracted her wrist, “Don’t worry, Lord Hou, it’s okay, it’s just a little bit of blood congestion, it’s all right if the blood is scattered.”
Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou with a lot of dissatisfaction between his brows and eyes. He could see that Bo Ruoyou was quite wary of him.
“You are still afraid of Benhou.”
Huo Weilou looked at her with a deep gaze. Although her tone was not very compelling, it made Bo Ruoyou’s hair tight. She looked at Huo Weilou helplessly and said softly: “It’s not that I’m afraid, that folk girl is in awe of Lord Hou. Very, not only today.”
As she spoke, she only felt that Huo Wei Building was a little weird, could it be too self-blame?
Suspiciously looking at Huo Weilou, Bo Ruoyou had to say, “Master Hou doesn’t need to take the matter of last night to heart. It’s a misunderstanding. These little injuries are nothing to the girls.”
Huo Weilou looked helpless when seeing her like this. He smiled lightly and turned to the door. Bo Ruoyou breathed a sigh of relief. But it will never be bad, otherwise how can people follow it loyally?
When the tea shop on the first floor ran out of breakfast, Luke came to report: “Hoye, the prefect of Chuzhou, Mo Heng is already waiting on the dock.”
Huo Weilou did not want to delay time, and immediately declared Mo Heng to board the ship to meet him.
The prefect of Chuzhou was established after the new year. Because of his excellent background, he had a relationship with Huo Weilou. After Huo Weilou said a few words about the case and made people contend with the evidence, Mo Heng understood Huo Wei. The meaning of dangerous buildings.
Soon, Liu Huiniang and the three were taken out. She walked in front of her in a willow-colored skirt. The figure of Ping Ting was graceful, quite pleasing to the eye, and there was no half of the depression about to suffer from imprisonment. Mo Heng picked it up when she saw it. Eyebrow winked at the ya chai again. The ya chai wanted to come forward to get someone, but he stood there unmoved when he saw it.
Yueniang is still supporting Song Meiniang. This time she will be taken to the government office for trial. Yueniang looks a little uneasy, but Song Meiniang has a calm face. When the two are about to get off the boat, Yueniang asked softly: “Sister, Where will we be taken?”
Song Meiniang said relaxedly: “No matter where you go, it will be a good day in the future…”
Mo Heng not only wanted to take the three of them, but also asked Qian Mingli and other principals to ask the case. Fortunately, the Changfeng Ferry is not far from Chuzhou City, which is nothing, and Li Yuchang’s body was wrapped in a simple dress. At this moment, they were sent off the ship, and the rest of the Yuchun class filed down with the cage, and the whole ship was half empty.
Mo Heng respectfully said, “It’s rare for Master Hou to pass by Chuzhou. He should have been a good student to entertain Master Hou…”
Huo Weilou knew what he was going to say and waved his hand. “There will still be opportunities in the future. This time I will have important things to do when I return to Beijing. It is inconvenient to delay. You have done this case with all your heart. Many people have been freed from slavery by Benhou. Take care of two points.”
Mo Heng immediately crouched and answered, and only then did he get off the boat with someone.
There were people coming and going on the pier. Soon, Mo Heng and Yuchun Ban and his party disappeared in the crowd. There was a lot of empty space above the ship, but there were new passengers boarding the ship. After noon, the boatman made it up. What was needed, the ship would once again follow the Lancang River all the way north.
It had been six days earlier, and the trip was already halfway through. Huowei Tower urged Shen Ya once, and the boat drove a lot faster. According to this process, I am afraid that it will take less than five days to get to Gyeonggi Ferry.
After the Yuchun squad, both the passengers and the owner of the boat on the building were worried for several days. Therefore, after the boat sailed, everyone was finally relieved. For a while, the tea and wine shops were all lively, and the season was now in February. Although the wind on the river northward is still chilly, spring on both sides of the Lancang River is still full.
Huo Qinghong got used to the boat and watched the Yuchun squad dying of life. These few days have been quiet, and he has been crooked at Ming Guilan all day. When he was boring, he asked Shen Ya to look at the ancient books of travel notes. Huo Weilou looked at him and gave him a good look.
In the evening of that day, two letters were sent to the ship by Xinying. Huo Weilou frowned slightly after reading the first letter. When Duke Fu saw this, he stepped forward and said, “This is news from Cangzhou, how?”
Huo Weilou said: “People have already arrived in Cangzhou, and they have found things. They are about to return now.”
Father Fu breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s fine. Finding the Baohan key is an iron proof.”
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, and Duke Fu called Wu Yu over. When Wu Yu arrived, Huo Weilou said: “Back then, you and Wang Qingfu went back to Beijing together. Was there really nothing unusual on the road?”
Wu Yu hurriedly said: “The lower official didn’t think of anything unusual, but when he arrived at the Changfeng Ferry the day before yesterday, he vaguely remembered that when he arrived at the Changfeng Ferry, Wang Qingfu once invited the lower official to go ashore and stroll around.”
Seeing Huo Weilou’s brows frowned, Wu Yu cautiously said: “At that time, I had been on the boat for several days. It was very boring, and the official had not been to Chuzhou. Because the boat was going to stop for half a day, I went to the town to take a look. “
Many people would choose to go ashore to evacuate for a long time. Huo Weilou stared, “But what happened?”
Wu Yu smiled bitterly, “There is a small matter, but the subordinates do not know whether it is abnormal or not. That was when Wang Qingfu came ashore that day. At that time, he said that Baiyu Town in the case was a well-known place for selling jade. I wanted to buy it. The lower officials naturally didn’t realize he was there, but it didn’t take long for him to go ashore, but his baggage was lost.”
Huo Weilou raised his sword eyebrows slightly, “lost the burden?”
“Yes, it seems that people came and went in the store while eating, and his baggage was stolen. He was a little annoyed at the time, but the town by the pier is full of people passing by from north to south. Where can I find them Then he said that there were nearly a hundred taels of silver in the baggage, and a cloak to be worn on his body, but nothing else.”
“One hundred taels is a lot of money, but for Wang Qingfu, it is not a big fortune. The two of us have not shown the official status, and the boat has stopped for half a day, and it is impossible to report to the official. So this matter has to be forgotten. The town went around, and there were indeed many jade sellers, but there were too many fakes, and we didn’t buy anything.”
Wu Yu pondered for a moment, “Because the officials thought, after Baohan was stolen, Qixia Mountain was sealed off. Except for the person who deliberately sent down the mountain by Yue Mingquan, everyone else could hardly escape with their wings. In that case, the Baohan was mostly by Wang Qingfu. Take it with him. As for when Wang Qingfu handed over Baohan, it is a question. If he brought him directly back to the capital, would it be too risky?”
The theft case ten years ago is now beyond accountability, but what Wu Yu said is not unreasonable, whether there is a treasure letter in the lost baggage, and Wang Qingfu deliberately made the treasure letter go away without knowing it.
Huo Weilou said quietly: “This matter can no longer be investigated, just see if you can find something in Wang Qingfu’s mansion after returning to Beijing. You have been with Wang Qingfu for many years, but have you noticed what is strange about him? Although he does not believe in Buddha, But will he believe in anything else? There was a moon worship in the northwest of the year before, and many people believed in it, but the doctrines are all ruining the country and the people, and there are still people who believe in it.”
Wu Yu thought with a bitter face, “This…is really not. Others are pure-hearted and have little desires, and sometimes they feel admired by the lower officials.”
A dark color appeared in Huo Weilou’s eyes. Although the murder case ten years ago was solved, the whereabouts of the relic is still a mystery. This makes him quite unhappy, who has no outstanding case in his hands, but there are other clues about Wang Qingfu’s death. But nothing, can only stop.
When Wu Yu retired, Huo Weilou rubbed his eyebrows and looked a little ugly. Father Fu didn’t know what he was thinking, and said: “The relic has been lost for ten years. His Majesty has sent people to pursue it many times, but he still has no trace. Naturally It’s not that easy to find. This time, it is great that Master Hou can solve the case of Master Jingkong. Now that the things of that year have surfaced, at least I know who the relic finally fell into, and then continue to investigate. There are always clues.”
Father Fu wanted to solve it, but Huo Weilou felt that things were not as simple as this. In ten years, things have changed drastically. I still don’t know what the person behind the scenes did with the relics, or perhaps the people behind the scenes have already done something, and the relics will be forever. Disappeared.
Huo Weilou thought so far, but didn’t make too many useless thoughts, and continued to read the second biography. This look made him raise his brows, “Zhao Xi and Anqing Houfu have retired.”
This incident was naturally expected. It has been more than half a month since they left Qingzhou, and the Qingzhou incident has naturally passed back to Beijing.
Gong Gong Fu sighed when he heard the words: “His Royal Highness is now in the double tenth year. The imperial concubine will certainly not wait too long before choosing another girl for him to marry. It will always be this year or next year, but you— “
Father Fu looked at Huo Wei Tower helplessly, “As soon as this year passes, you will be twenty-four years old. Take a look at the mansions of the fathers and marquis. How can there be people who are not married at such an old age, that is, you are always busy for your majesty. , Your Majesty knows that you will not talk about you for your hard work, otherwise, you will definitely have to face life every day.”
Huo Weilou looked at the letter on the table and said for a moment: “No other news from the capital?”
That look really took his words to ears, and Father Fu rolled his eyes, “There is nothing else in the capital. At this point, I am afraid that Shi Lang Lin has just walked outside the capital, and there is no time to search and report to you. “
Huo Weilou frowned at him, “Have you forgotten me and asked you about other things?”
Father Fu was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he showed a stunned look, “You mean something faint?”
Huo Weilou looked at him with a deep gaze, and Father Fu laughed out loud, “Naturally he hasn’t forgotten, that is, news will be coming in these two days. You don’t have to worry, or you can tell Lin if you want to ask clearly. Servant?”
Huo Weilou said lightly, “Tell him what to do?”
Father Fu took it for granted, “If the marriage is really faint, then there is something wrong in the middle. It is hard to say whether Lin Shilang knows it or not. Since you have found it out, don’t you tell him?”
Huo Weilou controls the prison. Although it is not the official letter of the penalty department, the people of the penalty department come to see him do things. Lin Huai is a smart man. In the past few years, he has been working as an errand to satisfy Huo Weilou. It is Lin Zhang who knows Huo Weilou well, and Lin’s lineage is considered to be half of his own family. Even if he is his own family, how can he hide it?
Huo Weilou was expressionless, but he didn’t answer this. He just said: “The news will be sent as soon as the capital arrives.”
Father Fu answered, with some suspicion in his heart, showing that his face is not good and he didn’t dare to ask more.
Huo Weilou didn’t know what was in his mind, so Grandpa Fu called Ming Guilan and asked him: “When you and Bo Ruoyou talked about the dietary disorder that day, your expressions seemed a bit deep, but among them What’s the reason?”
Ming Guilan also left a question in his heart because of this incident, but he was not an eventful person. Seeing that Huo Weilou trusted Bo Ruoyou and his daughter, he never took the initiative to speak. Now Huo Weilou asked him, but he didn’t. hide.
“Ms. Bo said she asked her adoptive father, which made me suspicious. I studied medicine with my father since I was a child, and it is considered to be a familiar study of medical books. I’m afraid there are few people in the world who read more than I do, but I’ve read so many medical books about this diet, but it’s only mentioned in a collection of medicinal foods hidden in the palace.”
“Although the book is a medical book, it is about treating illnesses with medicine and food. It naturally mentions many diet-related illnesses. This type of dietary illness is one of them. I saw this book at that time. Novelty, so I have a great impression. Later I tried to find similar records, but I never found it again.”
Having said this, Ming Guilan said again: “Miss Bo said that her adoptive father knows quite well, and she doesn’t know who her adoptive father learned from?”
Cheng Yunzhi seldom walked around in the past few days. He seemed to be a little uncomfortable walking with them, and this is not incomprehensible. After all, Huo Weilou and Huo Qinghong are distinguished, Ming Guilan comes from a family, and Cheng Yunzhi sees it. They are also quite knowledgeable, and they don’t take the initiative to cling to it, so naturally they are not easy to inquire too much.
Huo Weilou and Father Fu glanced at each other upon hearing this. Both of them had dark eyes. When Ming Guilan left, Father Fu said, “Master Hou would like to ask Mr. Cheng?”
Huo Weilou frowned and said nothing, he was a little hesitant, asking or not asking, it was all trivial, how could it be worth his frown.
Fu Gong said: “What’s wrong with Lord Hou? Could it be a matter of great importance? Even if Mr. Cheng used to be a noble man, he is a quiet righteous father, and he is also a decent person, so he won’t make any mistakes.”
Huo Weilou said, “I didn’t think about it.”
“Then what do you think?” Father Fu fixed his eyes on him.
Huo Weilou shook his head, “How can you understand?”
Father Fu stared slightly, “The old slave has lived for half a hundred years, and he understands no less than you…”
Huo Weilou didn’t say much any more, but Father Fu looked at him, but felt that he was planning something big, because he hadn’t been sure about it, so he didn’t say a word. This is Huo Weilou’s habit. In the past few years, whenever there has been a great turmoil at the court border, he has been so invisible.
Father Fu lived half a hundred years old, and he saw as many of the princes of heaven in the officialdom as Guo Jiang Zhiqing, but no one had the disposition of Huo Weilou. He used to follow the emperor and was naturally loyal to the royal family. Later, he followed Huo Weilou. After a long time, I always wondered why Huo Weilou didn’t have the surname Zhao. If it was that way, I don’t know how flourishing the Great Zhou was.
At noon on the second day, Huo Weilou saw that there were homing pigeons on the boat, and asked Father Fu again, “Is there news from Beijing?”
Father Fu smiled, “The homing pigeon is the Shen family’s homing pigeon. What are you worried about? You are concerned about the faint life experience or the case of Shelizi? You really don’t have to worry, you will be able to reach the capital within a few days.”
From this day on, Huo Weilou asked three times a day, as if he asked too much, and the letter came sooner, and there were no cases in these two days, Huo Weilou could not order Bo Ruoyou on official business, so he only worried about her injuries. , Or ask her to do little things.
That night, Huo Weilou ordered Bo Ruoyou to grind the ink for him.
There were two quiet lamps in the room, and Bo Ruoyou felt a little weird after entering the door, because she saw that there were two blank memorials in the Huo Wei Building, and seemed to write a letter to Your Majesty… She stood at the desk and rubbed the ink, but only heard the ink in the Huo Wei Building. The sound on the paper, but I didn’t dare to read more than a word, thinking in my heart, it is a matter of confidentiality to ask your majesty, how can I not guard her against one or two.
“Master Hou, the ink is finished, and the maiden retired.”
Bo Ruoyou dared not disturb Huo Wei Tower, but Huo Wei Tower said, “Stand not move.”
Bo Ruoyou didn’t know why, Huo Weilou’s eyes fell on the memorial, but he said to her, “Ben Hou is writing a letter to petition. This post-mortem is for you, do you want Ben Hou to do it for you? “
Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised.
Huo Weilou raised his eyes to look at her, but he affirmed her question. Bo Ruoyou thought for a while and said: “The common work done by the folk girl can also be done. It is not a great achievement. Hou Ye promised to help the folk girl write a letter of recommendation. It’s a reward. How can the people dare to ask Lord Hou to ask the Lord for credit?”
Huo Weilou frowned and looked at her, only to see a light color in her eyes. He really didn’t want to take credit. His pen paused, “After you return to Beijing, you only intend to do it in Jingzhao Mansion? No other plans? You and The Bo family has not been in contact for many years, but you are the three-bedroom daughter of the Bo family, so you should have a place in the Bo mansion.”
Huo Weilou asked in this way, but he was somewhat concerned. Bo Ruoyou trusted him, so naturally he did not conceal it. He pondered for a moment and said: “Although this matter is of secondary importance, what Hou Ye said is also reasonable. , But when you return to Beijing to settle down, there are some things that are supposed to be owned by the folk girls, and the folk girls will also have to take them back.”
Huo Weilou’s brows frowned slightly.
She wants to get back things that should be hers, this is what she should be, but…
“Master Hou—”
Before Huo Weilou’s thoughts were finished, Father Fu’s voice sounded outside the door. He walked to the door quickly, holding the letter paper that he had just sent in his hand, “Hou Ye, the letter from Beijing has arrived.”
Seeing Bo Ruoyou staying quietly and still grinding the ink on the Huo Wei Building, Father Fu shook his head anger and sent the letter paper. He saw Huo Wei Building quickly opened to look at him. Seeing him in such anxiousness, Father Fu was suspicious again. .
When Huo Wei Building opened, the color sank, and he didn’t know what he looked at. A face was even more chilly. Bo Ruoyou looked at Father Fu without knowing what happened, and Father Fu smiled bitterly. “Hou Ye? What did you say?”
Huo Weilou folded the letterhead, reached out and lit the lamp.
This trip frightened Bo Ruoyou and Father Fu. It was necessary to know that all the letterheads sent, unless they were secret letters from the emperor, would remain in the Huowei Tower, but he took a look now and actually wanted to burn them.
Father Fu and Bo Ruoyou looked at each other, and in the pulsating flames, the two heard Huo Weilou’s fluttering voice: “It’s a trivial matter.”
