Bo Ruoyou returned home and told Cheng Yunzhi about Huo Weilou's request for marriage. Cheng Yunzhi was writing a prescription for Huo Weilou to recuperate his old wounds. He immediately frowned when he heard this.

"Give marriage? Are you going to beg for marriage?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded: "The Marquis mentioned it once earlier, but he said that His Majesty was determined to make trouble, but it was probably a long time. Today, the Marquis mentioned it again, saying that it might be soon."

Cheng Yunzhi's lips moved a little, feeling a little annoyed, thinking that Huo Weilou's request for marriage was a foregone conclusion. Although he was not Bo Ruoyou's biological father, he was like a relative of his own father. Although the marriage was extremely honorable, it seemed too simple compared to the ordinary six rituals. But when Bo Ruoyou's status was determined, he felt that his daughter was about to get married.

After pondering for a moment, Cheng Yunzhi said: "His status and marriage are not ordinary." He sighed, "As long as Wu Zhaohou treats you sincerely, his adoptive father will not say anything. It's okay to look at you now, but people's hearts are complicated and changeable. If something goes wrong in the future, we father and daughter will have no room for confrontation with him."

Bo Ruoyou was moved to hear it, "The adoptive father is at ease, and the daughter believes in the marquis, so the adoptive father doesn't have to worry. If there really is one day, what the daughter asks for will not be power and glory. At worst, the daughter asks for peace and separation, and then she will serve the adoptive father wholeheartedly."

Cheng Yunzhi hurriedly said, "Don't say such things, it's unlucky." He thought about it again, "Wu Zhaohou has his own plan. As long as he is well-police and does not let you down, his adoptive father will naturally be at ease. But... his adoptive father still feels too fast, and he has made his own decision, and he has never asked his adoptive father whether he wants to marry you to him, which is truly rude."

Huo Weilou is a nobleman, and it is not easy to treat Cheng Yunzhi humbly on weekdays. At the wedding, he could only marry Bo Ruoyou back home earlier, but he never thought of asking Cheng Yunzhi for approval. Bo Ruoyou heard this and quickly agreed to Cheng Yunzhi, "What the adoptive father said is reasonable, and the marquis's temperament is indeed not familiar with the rules and etiquette."

Cheng Yunzhi snorted lightly, knowing that he should not be too demanding of a person with a status like Huo Weilou. Moreover, he is also a reasonable person. He is nothing more than resentment and resentment. He looked at the prescription he was writing, and when the pen tip moved, he added two more medicines. Bo Ruoyou looked along the tip of his pen and couldn't help laughing.

The two medicines that Cheng Yunzhiteng have excellent medicinal properties, but they are both the most bitter medicines. He prescribes prescriptions on weekdays to take care of the taste of the patient. Now it is hard to say anything on the surface. He wants to make Huo Weilou suffer a little bit of pain in the soup. He is a little childish, but he does not intend to change it. Thinking of the Lin family, he hesitates for a moment, and he doesn't mention it to Bo Ruoyou.

The next morning, Bo Ruoyou sent a new prescription to the Hou Mansion. Eunuch Fu took the prescription and saw the medicinal materials on it, "Hey, the prescription is very different from the past."

"The adoptive father said that the old wounds of the marquis have almost healed, but this time the injury is severe, which damages the heart meridians and qi. This prescription is mostly for warmth and nourishment and conditioning."

Eunuch Fu did not doubt that he was there, so he quickly responded and went to boil medicine for Huo Weilou. Bo Ruoyou went to the study.

Although Huo Weilou did not attend court, he still sent the official document to the Hou Mansion without delay. He was writing something on the desk. When he heard the footsteps, he knew that Bo Ruoyou was coming.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Bo Ruoyou slowly stepping into the door. The morning light fell behind her, making her beautiful eyes as bright as stars, and she became more and more fairy-looking. He put his pen and stood up to greet him, "Didn't you go to the yamen this morning?"

Bo Ruoyou smiled and said, "The adoptive father wrote you a new prescription. I'm here to deliver the prescription. Eunuch Fu has already gone to boil the medicine."

"Thank you Mr. Cheng."

Huo Weilou pulled Bo Ruoyou's hand to sit in front of the window, and asked him to give him tea. Bo Ruoyou looked at the desk, "What are the marquis busy with? Today's notes seem to be more than the previous few days."

Huo Weilou's eyes were slightly deeper, "It is the official document of the Ministry of Personnel. The case of the Ministry of Revenue has broken many officials of the fifth rank or above. This time, the Ministry of Personnel intends to use a new official list, and there are many candidates."

Bo Ruoyou suddenly realized that since she was appointed by an official, she stopped asking more questions. However, Huo Weilou continued: "You know two of them, one is Wu Yu, the Ministry of Rites. This time he was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, and the other was Lin Zhao. He came out of the Hanlin Academy and had served as a guest servant in the Ministry of Revenue. This time he would be retained in the Ministry of Revenue."

Mr. Wu from the Ministry of Rites, Bo Ruoyou has not seen him after returning to Beijing. Lin Zhao's young talent, who has been in the Hanlin Academy for two years, is about to join the sixth department. She nodded, not surprised, but instead remembered another thing, "The Luozhou case has no clues to the capital. What did Lord Wu remember in the past six months?"

Although the murder case of the Buddha bone relic case in Famen Temple has been solved, there is no trace of the Buddha bone relic. The clue of the case is broken on Wang Qingfu, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Wu Yu and Wang Qingfu are the most likely to know the clues back then.

Huo Weilou shook his head, "No, if he thought of something, he would come to me. The Buddha bone relic has been missing for ten years, and it is even harder to find it now. Last time he returned from Luozhou, His Majesty almost cut off his mind to find the relic."

Bo Ruoyou felt a little regretful. After all, it was the most treasure of Buddhism and had been wandering outside. If it was used by someone with a heart, the treasure of Buddha would become a use of evil.

After a slight pause, Huo Weilou held Bo Ruoyou's hand and said, "Do you know that Lin Zhao is going to break off the engagement with your cousin?"

Bo Ruoyou's eyes opened slightly, "I don't know. I didn't hear my adoptive father mention it last night, so why did he break off the engagement?"

Huo Weilou said lightly: "Bo wants to get married early, but the Lin family doesn't want to, so the eldest wife of Bo starts to make trouble. There are many twists and turns in the middle. Lin Zhao was unintentional at first, and he annoyed him. Then he decided to break the engagement. In the past two days, Bo went to Lin's house to make trouble, causing a lot of rumors."

Bo Ruoyou had no idea about this, "Can you get to the point of breaking off the engagement?"

Huo Weilou saw her expression and knew that she didn't want to go anywhere else. He pinched her palm and said, "What did you say before that you came back to the capital and wanted to get back your own thing?"

Bo Ruoyou's eyes became dark when he heard this, "At that time, I didn't want to go back to Bo's family, so I wanted to invite the tablets of my father and mother to set up a ancestral temple to worship. My mother's dowry and the property of the third house should be taken back. But when I returned to Beijing, I felt that it was unnecessary to get involved with the big house. My father was the son of the Bo family. If it was not in accordance with the rules, I would suppress this thought for the time being. In addition, I can't remember how my brother's accident happened back then. I thought that after I came back, I might be able to remember it."

Huo Weilou's eyes were slightly dark when he heard this, "Even if the third bedroom property is not needed, your mother's dowry should be taken back. As for your brother's accident, Mr. Cheng hasn't told you?"

"The adoptive father was not in front of him at that time, and only said that he encountered an accident while traveling with his family. He did not know the details. If the family traveled, I should have been in front of him, but I couldn't remember anything." There was a dark look in Bo Ruoyou's eyes, "They said that I killed my brother, and I don't believe this. He was only one year younger than me. I only remember that he must have encountered an accident around the Lantern Festival."

Huo Weilou suddenly thought of him in Qingzhou, Bo Ruoyou went to the bamboo forest alone to burn paper on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month. He realized it at this time and couldn't help but feel sorry for him, "There is no such thing as irresistible. If you feel concerned, we can do rituals and pray for your father and mother, and your brother."

Bo Ruoyou said, "The death date of my father and mother is next month. Then I will go to Xiangguo Temple to perform a ritual for them."

Huo Weilou remembered it in his heart. Not long after, he sent the freshly boiled soup outside. As soon as the medicine was delivered to Huo Weilou, Bo Ruoyou smelled the bitter taste. When Huo Weilou was not afraid of the pain, he frowned, "Hiss, this medicine is particularly bitter-"

Bo Ruoyou covered her lips and smiled, "The good medicine is bitter, and the Marquis will be able to get better after using this prescription."

Bo Ruoyou stayed in the Marquis' Mansion for half a day. Because he was concerned about the case of the Hundred Birds Garden, he left the Marquis' Mansion and went to the yamen before noon. When he arrived at the yamen, Wu Xiang and others were still guarding the warehouse and never came out.

When I was in the foreign affairs office, I didn’t make them feel tired or tired. This time, Mao checked the files in the inner warehouse, but it really cost them half of their lives. Since Bo Ruoyou arrived at the yamen, he also accompanied him to search. At this time, the files had been transferred from the 19th year of Jianhe to the 18th year of Jianhe.

Wu Xiang said with a bitter face: "The master didn't say a correct number. Although there have been several fires inside and outside the capital in the past two years, none of them are related to the troupe of the opera. Many people have been left in the Hundred Bird Garden these days, for fear of something going wrong."

It is right to prevent the murderer from committing another crime. At least one or two lives can be saved. But if the clues are not found, the yamen will not be able to withstand such criticism. Others in the capital were almost looking for needles in a haystack when they were inquiring about things 11 or 2 years ago.

Bo Ruoyou looked through the file and said, "Then look forward, as long as the government has records, you will definitely find it-"

Wu Xiang drank two sips of strong tea and then tried to check it out again.

Bo Ruoyou is a good player in reading books. The pages are flipping through her hands. She looks quickly and thinly, never letting go of any place. At one moment, her eyes suddenly stopped on one of the pages, and her face showed an unexpected look.

Wu Xiang saw it by the way, and leaned over in confusion, "What did you see?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he widened his eyes, "This Ming family is the Zhengming family of the Imperial Hospital?"

Bo Ruoyou thought it was, and he was a little surprised in his heart. What she saw now was that Ming Guilan was accidentally kidnapped at the end of the 17th year of Jianhe.

Fourteen years later, the case records were still complete. Ming Guilan left the capital on the ninth day of the 17th year of Jianhe. While playing at the lantern festival on the banks of the Luo River, he was deceived by a criminal person and then tied up to an abandoned house...

The case file is all said by Ming Guilan himself and the servants who followed that day. Because Ming Guilan did not see the murderer, and was tied up in the middle and covered his head and face, the statement was not complete. Later, the abandoned place was found, but it was just a dilapidated temple. The murderer had not left any trace and was nowhere to be seen.

This case became a unsolved case.

Thinking of Ming Guilan's broken legs, Bo Ruoyou read more than a hundred words back and forth several times, but there was no more evidence, and she had no idea. The only thing she was clear about was that the murderer was mixed into the lamp market, with the Monkey King mask that the child liked very much, and holding a rattle in his hand, which was extremely funny to the child.

Bo Ruoyou frowned. He was a vicious person who specialized in murdering children. He knew how to make fun of him. Young children could not distinguish between good and evil. In addition, evil people would succeed if they were willing to like him.

Wu Xiang said in a deep voice: "This case was not solved back then, and the young master of the Ming family was also disabled because of this."

Bo Ruoyou said, "It is indeed difficult to trace the traces of the murderer based on these records, and it is fourteen years old now, so I am afraid it will always be a unsolved case."

Wu Xiang sighed, "This is also impossible. Even in the past two years, the yamen has accumulated a lot of unsolved cases. Some of the murderers of some cases are very cautious. By chance, they miss the best opportunity. They have not found strong physical evidence, so they will never be able to find it."

Bo Ruoyou understood in his heart, and turned down again. Wu Xiang sat back to his original place, still sighing, "I am here to be a constable, even if I want all the evil people in the world to be punished, but unfortunately I still didn't do enough."

Bo Ruoyou came to the Beijing Yamen for more than half a year, and he knew how desperate Wu Xiang was when he was in office. He felt even more respectful when he heard what he said. A group of people were flipping through books, and suddenly someone came in outside the door. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Hu Changqing who had not seen for a long time.

The poison of the golden ointment on his body has been cured. After two months of care, he has returned to his handsome and handsome appearance. Today is coming to the yamen Yingmao. When Wu Xiang saw him, he naturally brought him to suffer. Hu Changqing responded with a smile, but he was very dedicated.

After searching this way, most of the files of Jianhe 17th year were investigated, but nothing was found. The fire in the Zhao family class seemed to have never happened. Wu Xiang even suspected that someone had missed it and returned to look for it. After a while, Bo Ruoyou said goodbye to the night before returning home.

The carriage set out from the yamen and headed towards Changshoufang. Halfway through the way, the lights on the entire street were lit up one after another. When the bustling and bustling of the capital was at its peak, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but lift the curtains and look out.

I was looking at the street scenery, but as I looked, Bo Ruoyou found that there was a carriage following his carriage. The carriage seemed simple and unpretentious. When they turned the corner of the street and walked into the alley, Bo Ruoyou's heart suddenly rose up.

She felt a little uneasy, which made Zhou Liang speed up the speed. At this time, the carriage was thrown away. She was a little suspicious, not knowing whether someone was following her or she was too nervous. When she got off the carriage at the door, Bo Ruoyou specifically asked Zhou Liang to wait at the door for a while, but after waiting for a cup of tea, she didn't see a stranger leaning over. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

...

Lin Zhao returned home after going home. As soon as he walked out of the side door, he saw a carriage parked in the dark. Seeing that it looked, he had been waiting for a long time. He frowned and hesitated for a moment, but did not avoid it. Instead, he ordered his attendant to drive the carriage to the front of the door.

The curtains of the parked carriage were lifted, revealing Bo Yixian's slightly clear face. Seeing Lin Zhao get off the carriage, she hurriedly jumped down, but Lin Zhao did not enter the door, but stood at the door waiting for her.

The gate of Lin's mansion was closed for many days, and Bo Yixian felt that her mother was coming every day to make trouble, so she naturally persuaded her for two days. Today she came alone because she wanted to plead for Lin Zhao.

"Brother Zhao, you finally don't avoid me."

Lin Zhao looked at Bo Yixian indifferently, "What's wrong with you?"

Bo Yixian's face turned pale, "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, when my mother heard that the Lin family was about to break off the engagement, she felt that the sky had fallen. I couldn't persuade her no matter what, so she made her come and have a fuss for two days. I'm sorry, Brother Zhao..."

Lin Zhao seemed to sigh, "It's a mess, which makes my aunt angry. This matter has damaged the reputation of Bo. The Lin family will not explain more about how the Lin family is traitorous. In this way, it's just a marriage contract."

Tears instantly filled Bo Yixian's eyes, "Brother Zhao, why? Why? You shouldn't be like this. We have been engaged for several years, and I have long regarded you as my future husband. You have always treated me well. Why can you be so cruel? Is it my aunt who blamed me? Or is my uncle who blamed me? As long as they can calm them down, I can do anything."

Lin Zhao looked at her tearful eyes, but there was no turmoil in her eyes. "It's not that anyone blamed you, but the two families made such a fuss. Even if you get married, it's not a happy marriage. You came from a family and had the reputation of being a talented woman since childhood. Now you break off the engagement with the Lin family, and choosing another good son-in-law is the best--"

Seeing what Bo Yixian wanted to say, Lin Zhao said again: "The most important thing is that even if you and I get married, I will still betray you. I have confirmed this marriage since I was a child. However, now, I feel that you and I are not like people. If you want to become a resentful partner in the future, it would be better to ask you to choose someone else earlier."

"Resentful Idiot? How could it be?" Bo Yixian stepped forward and hurriedly grabbed Lin Zhao's sleeve, "Brother Zhao, I am the most virtuous. I will do whatever you want me to do. I will not disobey you, so how can you and me be resentful?"

Lin Zhao heard her words and even more disagreement between his eyebrows, "Why do you want to obey everything? You are the daughter of Bo, and you shouldn't be like this. As for me... My intention is not on you, and you will definitely make you suffer in the future. Why should you be obsessed?"

This was the first time Bo Yixian heard Lin Zhao's words like this. She felt a pain in her heart and could no longer help but ask: "Brother Zhao's intentions are not on me, who is it on me? Is it on my second sister?"

Lin Zhao's pupils shrank slightly, "Don't talk nonsense--"

After he said that, he looked away, with a slight fear in his eyes, and even he could not tell his feelings clearly. When Bo Yixian saw him like this, he became more and more confident in his heart. He burst into tears and was angry, "I knew! I knew it was her... Brother Zhao, I said long ago that her mind was not on you. She was close to Wu Zhaohou with beauty, and now she has become a person around Wu Zhaohou. She is just a nobleman in Wu Zhaohou and doesn't give her a title. Why don't you believe me!"

Lin Zhao suddenly looked at her, "How can you still speak like this? She is your sister. Even if you are ruthless, you shouldn't attack a little girl like this. How important is a woman's reputation!"

Bo Yixian laughed furiously, "Don't you believe it? OK, have you ever seen any girl go to the Marquis' Mansion every day? Have you ever seen anyone come and go on a carriage with Marquis Wu Zhao? Marquis Wu Zhao is not in court now, but can accompany her to the yamen in person. Brother Zhao, don't you believe it? If she had not become a member of Marquis Wu Zhao's room, how could Marquis Wu Zhao treat her like this?"

Lin Zhao was shocked when he heard this, "You... why did you know?"

Bo Yixian smiled bitterly with tears on her face, "Because I know that Brother Zhao is also confused by her appearance, I am so cruel to me. I want Brother Zhao to know how self-deprecating she is. And she is in love with the power and wealth of the Wu Zhaohou Mansion, so she would rather be a concubine for Mr. Wu Zhao than be loyal to you, Brother Zhao—"

Lin Zhao didn't believe it, but Bo Yixian's words were concise, but he made him hesitate, "She...she is not that kind of person..."

Seeing Lin Zhao hesitating, Bo Yixian wiped the tears from his face, "Brother Zhao doesn't believe it. You can go to Wu Zhao's mansion a few more times. You can always meet your second sister, either you go to Cheng's house, or you can always see Wu Zhao's visit." She sobbed, "I know that Bo did something wrong this time, but I don't want Brother Zhao to be deceived. You will know after you go and see it."

What Bo Yixian said next? Lin Zhao couldn't hear clearly. He thought of Bo Ruoyou following Huo Weilou to solve the case and examine the autopsy. Huo Weilou had unusual trust in her, and she worked hard without feeling the hard work. Later, Bo Ruoyou entered the Marquis' Mansion and was indeed very close to the people in the mansion. The more he thought about it, he felt strange. When he raised his eyes, he saw Bo Yixian had said goodbye and got on the carriage. His heart had sink to the valley and entered the mansion almost in a panic.

He walked to the main courtyard very quickly. When he walked to the gate of the main courtyard, he hesitated for a moment, not knowing that he was here to greet him or for something else. Bo Yixian's words echoed in his ears. He didn't want to believe Bo Ruoyou as being so self-righteous. When he thought that Bo Ruoyou was going to become a concubine in the marquis's house, he felt even more guilty and resentful. If the marriage he had decided that he had not changed, how could Bo Ruoyou be a concubine for someone?

He hesitated for a moment and had not entered the door. He turned around and headed towards his courtyard.

At dusk the next day, Lin Zhao left his post and came out of the yamen and should have returned home, but he ordered the carriage to drive to the Jingzhaoyi Yamen. When he arrived outside the yamen, the sun had already set in the sky, and a brilliant cloud spread in the sky, but his heart was filled with haze. He got off the carriage and entered the yamen and asked Bo Ruoyouke in the yamen.

In the morning of that day, Bo Ruoyou had not gone to the Marquis' Mansion, but arrived at the yamen early in the morning. Because Wu Xiang wanted to re-read the previous files, she worked in the yamen all day long. When Lin Zhao heard what the yamen said, hesitated for a moment, but he had not entered the yamen, but turned back to his carriage. He was a little nervous, but he had never left, not knowing what he was waiting for.

After two incense sticks, Bo Ruoyou walked out of the yamen. She got on her own carriage alone, and then went to Changshoufang. Lin Zhao's heart was pounding, and the coachman followed her carriage and walked alleys through the auxiliary alley of Yu Street. When he saw Bo Ruoyou's carriage walking into Changshoufang, his heart hanging high fell to the ground.

Bo Ruoyou returned to Changshoufang instead of going to Lanzhengfang, which made him feel relieved. Thinking of this, Lin Zhao felt guilty. He was originally a person who obeyed ethics, but now he was so secretly following a woman. However, he could not ask Bo Ruoyou, nor could he go to Wuzhao's Mansion to inquire. Such sneaky behavior was the most extraordinary thing he could do.

Lin Zhao did not dare to follow him for too long. Seeing Bo Ruoyou's carriage heading towards Chengzhai, he wanted to ask the coachman to turn his direction and go home. But at this moment, he saw Bo Ruoyou's carriage suddenly stopped. He felt suspicious and asked his coachman to walk forward a few feet. At this moment, he saw another red-lacquered carriage.

I don't know how long the carriage had been waiting here, but it was just waiting for Bo Ruoyou. Soon, he saw Bo Ruoyou get off his carriage and run towards the pair of horses with his footsteps. He saw the curtains lift up, and he leaned out from under the curtains and pulled Bo Ruoyou up. After the curtains fell, Bo Ruoyou's figure also disappeared.

Although it was only a moment, Lin Zhao could see the figure clearly. The person in the carriage was Huo Weilou!
Chapter completed!
