Chapter 65 - Shiwaka 05
On the second day it was still dark, Bo Ruoyou got up. When having breakfast, he saw that Cheng Yunzhi was a little absent-minded. Bo Ruoyou didn’t ask, and he called Zheng Liang aside after breakfast. Uncle, what did your foster father tell you in these two days?”
Zheng Liang felt nervous when he heard this, his eyes drooped and he dared not look at Bo Ruoyou. Bo Ruoyou narrowed his eyes, “Does the foster father ask you to inquire about the Bo family?”
Zheng Liang raised his head, his face was surprised, Bo Ruo sighed, “Foster father came back this time, I can see that he wants me to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, but the Bo family has never asked a question these years. I have no thoughts about them.”
Zheng Liang saw that Bo Ruoyou had guessed it, and he smiled bitterly for a moment: “Miss, it’s nothing else, you must have a family background if you want to get married in the future, let alone you are Miss Bo, why not fight? Woolen cloth?”
Bo Ruoyou thought for a while, “Then what did you find out?”
Zheng Liang said hurriedly: “The villain went to Changlefang just a few days after returning to the capital. The old house of the Bo family has not changed. Now the old man is on duty in the Ministry of Industry. While taking care of the family’s business, everything else is gone. Oh, the eldest has already made a marriage appointment. The eldest master is now studying at the Imperial College, and I heard that he has good knowledge.”
This news was expected by Bo Ruoyou. When the Bo family arrived in her father’s generation, her father was the only one to stand out. After the death of her father, it was difficult for the Bo family to have a place in the court. As for the management of business, Xiao This is what ordinary families are doing.
Bo Ruoyou nodded, “Foster father doesn’t want to tell me, so I don’t know. You should persuade the foster father. If I returned to Beijing just to enter the old house, I really don’t look like me anymore.”
Zheng Liang responded quickly, and Bo Ruoyou saw that it was not early, so he planned to go to the Yamen.
Zheng Liang prepared the carriages and horses, and the two arrived at the Jingzhaofu Yamen together. They were different from the ones that were left in the air yesterday. Today, Bo Ruoyou just arrived at the door, he was greeted by a clerk, and when he entered the door, a literary official led the way and went straight in. The back hall for hospitality and discussion.
Sun Zhao was in the yamen. He heard that Bo Ruoyou had arrived so early, and he followed him out, “Xiao Bo was so early…”
Bo Ruoyoufu blessed the body, “Because there have been cases in the past two days, I wanted to come and see if it might help.”
Sun Zhao led her in with a smile, and let her sit down again. After the tea, Sun Zhao said: “Xiao Bo, I have heard Wu Xiang say yesterday. He said that your post-mortem examination was very powerful, and Master Hou recommended you to be very helpful. Reasonable, but you are a girl. No matter whether you have a case or not, you don’t have to come so early. If you are happy, come to the yamen and respond. If you feel tired or meet something windy or rainy, just Just rest at home, and according to my intention, you can’t be too busy, your salary is the same as the yamen’s work, so you don’t have to be so hard for a little girl.”
Bo Ruoyou heard it out, it was good for her to have a good time. After thinking about it, Bo Ruoyou felt that it was all because of Huo Weilou. On the face, he just asked: “My lord, do you think my post-mortem technique is not good enough?” “
Sun Zhao said hurriedly: “No, no, no, Wu Xiang has been a head catcher in the government for many years, and he has seen several people doing it. He said that you have done the autopsy very carefully. Although you are a little girl, you are not afraid of hardship. I I believe his words very much.”
Although Bo Ruoyou is sitting, he has a straight back, beautiful eyebrows, and an immortal appearance. Looking at it in this way, it is hard for people to associate her with the corpse. She is soft when she hears it. He said, “Since the adults do not question my post-mortem technique, please do not treat me as a woman. If there is a case that requires an autopsy, the adults can send me.”
Sun Zhao laughed a little stiff, Bo Ruoyou looked at her young age, but Wu Zhaohou was behind her. Sun Zhao couldn’t figure out that Huo Wei Tower did not leave the beauty in the house but sent the yamen to join the corpse. More important He stuffed him with a hot potato, “This is natural, it’s still something you want to show off–“
Bo Ruoyou was a little helpless, “My lord, last night, Lord Hou also told me that since I was recommended by him, he should not lose his face. Master Hou is playing favoritism.”
Sun Zhaozai looked at Bo Ruoyou carefully, and saw that she looked calm, not pretentious, and then leaned in and said, “Bo, I see you for the second time, but I think you are the same as other little girls. It’s not the same. Tell me the truth. Lord Hou recommends you to come, really wanting to show you what you are good at? You are not afraid of hardship?”
Bo Ruoyou nodded naturally, “I know what the adults are afraid of, but adults don’t have to think too much.” After a pause, Bo Ruoyou said simply: “The reason why Lord Hou recommended me is because I went south. I will assist in the autopsy. Master Hou solved two cases, so he was appreciated by Master Hou. Master Hou cherished his talent and made an exception to recommend a woman. I have known Master Hou for only two months.”
Sun Zhao was stunned when he heard what case Huo Weilou went south to do. He, as a court official, couldn’t be clearer. It turned out that Bo Ruoyou was a piece of work that Huo Weilou found in the south. He had known each other for two months, so he really didn’t want to. That’s so complicated.
Sun Zhao’s heart suddenly felt loose. He has been Jing Zhaoyin for many years. Of course, he will not only guess Shangfeng’s thoughts. Since Bo Ruoyou has done the errand for Huo Wei Building and won his appreciation, then she must have real materials, if it is true. It can be used by the government without any harm.
He hurriedly asked: “Did you handle the two cases where Lord Hou went south?”
Sun Zhao was the chief official of Jingzhao Mansion and was praised by Huo Weilou. She didn’t have to hide from him, so she said: “Yes, I was helping in Qingzhou Mansion before. When Lord Hou came to Anqing Mansion, it was me. At the post-mortem.”
Sun Zhao asked again: “What about the other case? Could it be that Lord Hou took you to Luozhou?”
Bo Ruoyou nodded, and Sun Zhao sat up straight, the look in Bo Ruoyou’s eyes changed…
Soon, he leaned in again and lowered his voice and asked, “So, Anqing Houfu really hid a twin daughter? In the Luozhou case, is Wang Qingfu of Taichang Temple really the culprit ten years ago?”
Sun Zhao’s appearance of listening to secrets made Bo Ruoyou a little funny, and she nodded.
Sun Zhao looked satisfied with the affirmative answer, “It turns out that they are all true. You don’t know. The two cases that Lord Hou went to the south caused a lot of turbulence in the court. One was originally the second prince and concubine, and the other involved the court. Several members of the fourth grade in the middle school, the news came back to Beijing, everyone only dared to discuss it in private, and now there is no conclusion, but I don’t want you to be the person who handles the case.”
At this moment, Sun Zhao realized that Huo Wei Tower had not stuffed him with hot potato, but recommended him a treasure. His eyes were righteous: “Since you can help Master Hou solve the two cases, I think it will be a big deal. It’s talented, and you don’t have to think of you as a woman to be compassionate.
That’s what Bo Ruoyou wanted, “Just give your orders.”
Sun Zhao said: “You should have seen it when you came in. Wu Xiang is not here today, and the government office has been reduced by half.”
Bo Ruo faintly nodded, Sun Zhao’s eyes were a little dark, and there was more Jing Zhaoyin’s power on his face, “The person died last night, someone reported to the official before you came, and it didn’t take long for Wu Xianggang to go out with someone. .”
Bo Ruoyou’s expression changed slightly, “Are you dead again?”
“Yes, and the deceased are all women.” Sun Zhao sighed, “I don’t know what the situation is. It’s just that several female corpses have been found recently. This is not a good sign. This is just the first month of the year. If the emperor’s feet have had several murders within a month. , I have to take off the black yarn on my head and put it aside.”
Governance of officials in Gyeonggi is the top priority. Any disturbance will be passed into the palace if it is accidentally caused. There is a disturbance in the capital. Sun Zhao is the first person to inquire about it, and he naturally feels a lot of pressure.
Bo Ruoyou stood up and said, “Since I have just left, the troubled lord sent an individual to send the civic girl to the place where the crime occurred, and the civic girl also wants to see it. If there is evidence in the place where the crime occurred, the case can be solved in a short time. .”
Sun Zhao didn’t understand Bo Ruoyou and he was afraid of Huo Wei Building, so he was a bit worried, thinking that she might not be able to do an autopsy at all. Assignment, or most women in the world are squeamish, if three days and two days are tired, it will be his fault when he arrives in front of Huo Wei Tower, but he did not expect that Bo Ruoyou said he was here as a errand, so he was really here as a errand. , The neat trend of going to the place where the crime was committed made him feel at ease.
“Well, I’ll send someone to take you there, right in the east of the city.”
After that, Sun Zhao called a government officer to come in, “This is He Chang, let him take you to the place where the crime occurred.” After that, he told He Chang, “Let’s take care of it. When I saw Wu Xiang, I said yes. I asked Xiao Bo to go.”
He Chang is a young government officer under the age of double ten. He is not tall, but has a rather Zhouzheng face, especially with a pair of black and white eyes that look curiously at this moment, but he does not give people a sense of rudeness. The deputy asked people to look at the friendly young man’s spirit.
“Boy girl, please–“
He led the way, and Bo Ruoyou bid farewell to Sun Zhao and left the mansion.
Bo Ruoyou rode the carriage, He Chang walked on the horse, and walked along with the carriage and said, “The body was found by the Yuxi River.”
The Yuxi River is an inland river in the city, winding across from the east of the city, and finally converging to Weiyang Lake in the west of the city, but Bo Ruoyou frowned when he heard this, because Changxingfang was not far from the Yuxi River.
I walked all the way through the streets and alleys to the Yuxi River. I asked people casually and found the place where the crime happened. The place where the crime happened is a bit remote, but there are also shops around. The small servant of the restaurant, and was discovered for a long time, before approaching, I saw many people gathered by the fence by the river.
Ya chai guarded the fence, constantly urging the people to stay away, but he did not see Wu Xiang’s shadow yet.
He Chang was dressed in a government official uniform. He dismounted from a long distance, and Bo Ruoyou got out of the carriage. Liang Shu followed, and the three of them went to the river. Seeing that the government was coming, the people naturally stepped aside, but Bo Ruoyou He also followed, but it surprised the people around.
“Who is this girl, how can this girl go in and see?”
“Looking at which lady it seems, is it that she came to recognize the corpse?”
The people talked a lot, but Bo Ruoyou didn’t care about this. He walked to the side of the guardrail and saw Wu Xiang with five or six people standing on the half **** of the river beach. The water level of the Yuxi River was quite high in the summer, but now it is only two. In the month of the month, the deepest part of the river was not too human. Large areas of the river beach were exposed on the gentle slope, and the bodies found were exposed on the river beach.
Bo Ruoyou hadn’t approached yet, but just like this, her brows wrinkled.
The corpse was lying prone and could not see her face clearly, but she could tell that she was a woman by virtue of her stray long hair and figure. Although her dress was stained with a lot of mud, she could still see a bright red color.
The victim was again a woman in a red dress.
“Boy girl, go down the stairs over there.” He Chang pointed to the stone steps not far away.
Bo Ruoyou nodded, the ya chai who was guarding outside was a little surprised when he saw He Chang, but he didn’t dare to stop him, and Wu Xiang was talking to the ya chai underneath. When he turned his head and saw Bo Ruoyou, he was immediately taken aback.
He Chang stepped forward cleverly, “Angkor, the adults asked me to bring the Bo girl, and the Bo girl is going to come for an autopsy.”
Wu Xiang looked up and down at Bo Ruoyou for a moment, “You are very diligent and mediocre. I thought you left with Lord Hou yesterday, and it will take a few days to see you.”
Bo Ruoyou laughed, “Big Brother Wu is not going to tease me anymore. Once I arrive at the Yamen Yingmao, I will naturally not be sloppy. What’s the situation now?”
Wu Xiang whispered, “This bank is a restaurant, and there is a narrow pedestrian road next to the riverbank. Most people will choose to walk in front of them on weekdays. This morning when the little servants in the restaurant come here to pour water I found her. She was completely dead, with trauma on her body, and the cause of her death is unknown. Shi Cai came over and asked people to go around to check, but the girl disappeared before anyone else.”
Bo Ruo faintly nodded and began to roll up his sleeves. The body was soaked in water from the waist down. The dress was covered with silt, and his hair was piled up on the back of his neck indiscriminately. His exposed neck, hands and feet were all blue and white. It’s been soaked for a long time.
Bo Ruoyou took out his handguards and put them on, inspected the body on the spot, and asked as he examined: “When I came, could I find footprints on the river beach?”
Wu Xiang shook his head, “No, the second person who found the corpse was scared and didn’t dare to come down. Afterwards, although there were many people, no one dared to come down and take a look.”
Bo Ruoyou replied, then stared at her and stopped speaking. She focused on the autopsy, and no matter what the errands around her were saying, she didn’t go to see the people pointing to her.
Wu Xiang was watching, inexplicably feel that Bo Ruoyou at this moment was a little shocking.
“Ordinary drowning people, because of the difference in pelvis between men and women, most men are prone and most women are on their backs. It is a little strange for her to be prone like this.” Bo Ruoyou said, taking a look before turning the body over. Coming over, facing upwards, a young woman’s face suddenly appeared. Since she was killed soon, her appearance had not changed much, she looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Her face was Xianyan, but she closed her eyes forever at this time, and a smudge fell on her pale nose and forehead, and Bo Ruoyou raised his hand to wipe the smudge clean.
Bo Ruoyou frowned slightly, and the clothes on the deceased were not scattered. Except for one missing shoe, the bracelets on the wrists and the pendants on the ear beads were all there, and they all looked like precious things, and her red dress was. The fine lake silk is decorated with exquisite embroidered patterns, and it is also unusual for people to wear it. It should be a young lady.
Bo Ruoyou glanced over the corpse’s surface, and then at the deceased’s neck that was blocked by the hair. She stretched out her hand to pull her hair away, her eyes shrank slightly, and there was a bruise on the deceased’s neck.
She leaned closer and took out the purple marks, and then looked down from her head to her neck. She quickly concluded: “The cause of death was strangulation, not drowning. The strangulation was thin, but it was quite severe. Rough, with fine wounds and bleeding spots, it should be strangled with a rough rope such as thin twine, and the time of death should be around midnight.”
Bo Ruoyou looked down along his neck, and the front of the deceased’s shirt was tightened, but there was a faint blood hovering here, and the dark red color looked different from elsewhere.
If you are injured in the water, you can’t keep this dark red, unless the person is injured while still in the case.
Bo Ruoyou frowned slightly, one side of her body blocked the sight of others, and then opened the flap for two minutes. The moment she opened, Bo Ruoyou’s complexion changed, and she was so busy that she pressed the flap well again, so much so that Wu Xiang I don’t even know what happened when I stood there.
Seeing her look wrong, Wu Xiang stepped forward, “What’s the matter? What did you see?”
Bo Ruo fainted his eyebrows and said in a low voice, “The dead… a piece of flesh in his heart has been stripped away.”
Wu Xiang’s expression changed when he heard these words. Adding the one from Yizhuang, this was another red-robed female corpse whose skin and flesh had been stripped away. Did someone harm the two in a short period of half a month?
