Chapter 183 Nine ileum 15

It was already midnight when Bo Ruoyou returned to Beijing. When he returned home, there were bright lights in Cheng's house. Bo Ruoyou was a little suspicious. When he walked to the door, he saw the carriages and horses of Wu Zhaohou's mansion parked under the wall.

Her beautiful eyes lit up and she quickly walked into the door. As soon as she walked to the atrium, the door hidden in the main hall was pushed open.

Huo Weilou walked out of the inside, and she couldn't help but smile unexpectedly, "Why is the Marquis coming?"

The wind was biting outside, her hands were cold and her cheeks were frozen to the point of no blood. Huo Weilou first welcomed her into the house. The dragons in the house were burning very hot, but he was the only one to stay.

"Why are the marquis alone and the adoptive father?"

The hot tea on the table was already cold. At a glance, I knew that Huo Weilou had been waiting for a long time. He took off the cloak from her shoulder and said, "I know you have left the city and come over to see it. It's too late, so I'll let Mr. Cheng take a break first."

Bo Ruoyou was wrapped in warmth in the house, and his limbs finally recovered a little. Aunt Liang got up when he heard the movement and sent some refreshments. When Aunt Liang left, Huo Weilou asked, "How about it outside the city?"

Bo Ruoyou was about to tell him about this, and his eyes were bright: "The murderer who murdered the child has been found. I have visited the man's house. There is a dark room in the house and a temple is set up. It should be the murderer. But the man escaped. Captain Wu sent someone to pursue him. The man was sick and could not bear the long-distance fatigue. He looked eye-catching, so it should not be difficult."

Huo Weilou did not expect that this matter would go quite smoothly. He relaxed his face and held her hand in his palm to warm it up. Bo Ruoyou blinked and said, "What are the marquis doing these two days?"

When Huo Weilou heard this question, his eyes were slightly darker, "Do you remember the Famen Temple case in Luozhou?"

Bo Ruoyou naturally remembered that Huo Weilou continued: "Although the murder case of Famen Temple has been solved, the whereabouts of Sarizi are still unknown. This Sarizi is the most treasure of the Great Zhou Buddhists and has been lost for ten years. But we don't know that besides Sarizi, there is also a Buddha treasure that exists in the Treasure Treasure Department of the Imperial Palace Treasure Department, which has also been in trouble."

Huo Weilou talked about the fact that the Qibao Relic Tower was replaced. Bo Ruoyou breathed in his breath when she heard it. She had entered the palace and knew that it was a place with great vigilance. "After all entering the palace, how could she be replaced?"

"Under ordinary circumstances, it is indeed extremely difficult, but if it is the people of Zhenbaosi and Taichang Temple, it is possible." Huo Weilou said the construction of the palace and said: "The Zhenbaosi holds the keys of each warehouse of the Zhenbaosi Pavilion, and this thing has been stored in it for several years. If ordinary sacrificial sacrifices do not need this thing, almost no one will remember it. In these few years, if someone in Zhenbaosi wants to deceive his superiors and subordinates to exchange this thing, there are many opportunities. In addition, there are often people in the Zhenbaosi and the inner palace to buy it, so it is not difficult to transport this thing out."

"The next thing is Taichang Temple. Taichang Temple is responsible for ancestral temple sacrifices. How to arrange the temple at the ceremony, use those treasures and invite those monks and masters to fully dispatch them. If the people in Taichang Temple are willing to exchange Buddha treasures, they can start planning several months before the ceremony. If Taichang Temple colludes with the people of the Zhenbao Department, it will be easier to exchange Buddha treasures out of the palace."

The palace is heavily guarded and relies on the human resources below to protect it. But if some people make a mistake in one link, it is not impossible to take advantage of loopholes.

The Buddha treasure was given by Daqi several years ago. Because it was given to the neighboring country, it was not sent to Xiangguo Temple. If it weren't for the Buddha's birthday, Emperor Jianhe suddenly had an intention to give the Buddha treasure, I was afraid that it would take many years to discover it. The murderer of the Famen Temple's relics was also using tricks. If it weren't for the clever host at that time, he would have been fooled by the murderer.

And this time, the Zhenbaosi and Taichang Temple...

Bo Ruoyou's eyes sank, "Taichang Temple... Wang Qingfu of Taichang Temple is one of the murderers of Famen Temple, and only he knows the whereabouts of the relics. In order not to be exposed, he chose to commit suicide. According to the time when the Buddha treasure entered the palace, it happened that during Wang Qingfu's tenure, would the loss of the relics pagoda be related to Wang Qingfu?"

Huo Weilou's expression confirmed her inference, "It is under investigation. After this incident comes out, Zhenbaosi and Taichang Temple are both top priority. However, the replacement of Buddha treasure should not be the last two years. Today, the direct escort has not found any suspicious persons."

The seventeenth day of winter is the birthday of Amitabha Buddha, which is the most important event in the Buddhist Birth of Buddhism every year. Not only does Emperor Jianhe offer the Buddha treasure, but Wen Jin's family also came because of this Buddha birthday. Wen Jin was killed, and the Buddha treasure offered by the royal family is also fake.

Bo Ruoyou felt a little sighed in his heart, "As long as things happen, there will be traces left. The Buddha treasure is replaced. If you have to pass the layers of levels, you must not only do it for one person or two people."

Huo Weilou nodded, "They have been in charge of investigating this matter in the past few days."

After he finished speaking, his eyes looked at her with a deep look, as if he was exploring something. Bo Ruoyou was a little suspicious, "What's wrong with the Marquis?"

He closed his knuckles, "Did you have anything else to tell me?"

Bo Ruoyou's back stiffened for a moment, and his eyes were deep, as if he could see through her. Her heart suddenly jumped, her lips tightly pursed, Huo Weilou wrapped her hands in his palm, and did not force her. Bo Ruoyou calmed down and spoke hard, "Has the Marquis heard his adoptive father?"

He said warmly: "Yes-"

Bo Ruoyou's throat suddenly became blocked, and he couldn't help but lower his eyes, "I can't remember what happened back then, until I found the old yamen officer. It was the first year that the old yamen officer entered the yamen, so I remember it very clearly. That night, I was missing with him, but on the second day, I was the only one who was found, but I can't remember what happened that night, and no one knows what happened to my brother so far."

She paused, and her voice became more and more mute. "Later, I was seriously ill and my father and mother went to Luozhou to find a doctor for me, and then came back anxiously."

Her shoulders shrank, and her black feather-like eyelashes cast a large shadow. She didn't want to see the emotions in her eyes. Huo Weilou held her cheeks with her hands, making her look up at him.

When she raised her eyes, a layer of wet mist floated in her eyes. The corners of her lips were tightly pursed, and her beautiful eyebrows were also frowned. Pity arose in Huo Weilou's eyes. She rubbed her cheeks twice and took her into her arms.

Through the robe, the warmth on his body was hot and hot, and soon the frost in her heart warmed up. She wrapped her hands around his waist, making her heart even more sad. "If I remember, maybe I could get my brother back that day, if I remember, maybe the murderer wouldn't be free, nor would his father and mother..."

She choked and buried her head deeper in his arms. Huo Weilou's arms tightened and his big hands fell on the back of her neck and gently stroked her, "You were only five years old at that time, and you were still an unknown child. You are also a victim. You can't blame yourself so hard."

Bo Ruoyou shook his head gently in his arms, and Huo Weilou couldn't help but carry her to his knees, "You pity the children who were murdered this time. When you were in Heishui Village, you also took good care of the children in the suspect's family. You know how innocent and weak the children are. You were the same age as them back then. You were sick and frightened at that time. How could you ask you to do what adults should do?"

Bo Ruoyou was still lying on his shoulder, calm and composed temporarily shedding from her body. At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the long night thirteen years ago, and her self-blame and helplessness were entangled with her like ghosts in the dark night.

Huo Weilou held her hand tightly, "The murderer has revealed his traces. You just need to catch the person back to get the truth. Your brother's death and all the incidents afterwards were caused by the murderer's evil deeds. You were also harmed by this. It was a blessing that you were found back then. Later, you recovered from illness and became a coroner by chance. Perhaps it was God who wanted you to find out the truth back then. You should not suffer for yourself because of this, okay?"

His voice was gentle, and gradually calmed down her heart's sorrow. It was already deep in the night. A rustling sound was heard in the howling cold wind, and it turned out that snow fell from the sky. Bo Ruoyou rubbed his cheek against his shoulder and said in a muffled voice: "Now I just guess that my brother was also killed by the same murderer, but if the murderer refused to admit it after he was arrested, my brother's case has been long and he had not left a file before. He only relied on the memory of the old yamen officer, and he would have no clue."

"You just said that if anything happens, it will leave traces. If the murderer has nothing to do with the case that year, I will ask the yamen to re-invest the case. With me, plus you, the best coroner in the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as you want to investigate, you will definitely find out."

His words calmed down Bo Ruoyou's mind. She looked straight at her. Under her wet eyelashes, her eyes were clear and trustworthy. "Can you really find out?"

Huo Weilou couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead, "Take it seriously."

She was in a panic. Although these two words were light, they seemed to have injected strength into her limbs and bones. A little light appeared in her eyes. "I also want to go to the place where my brother was killed."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"Can the Lantern Festival in Luohe change places over the years? I want to go and see, maybe I can remember something."

"No, it's almost Laba, and there is also a lot of fun on the banks of the Luo River. I'll take you there."

The last hint of panic in Bo Ruoyou's heart also dissipated. She looked out the window anxiously, as if thinking about when it would be dawn. Huo Weilou saw her thoughts and had no choice but to hold her waist, "You should think about resting now, and you should be able to nourish your spirits."

Bo Ruoyou realized that it was indeed too late, "When will the Marquis return to the mansion?"

Huo Weilou's eyes were slightly darker, meaningful, "I won't leave."

Bo Ruoyou's black eyes glared, "No... won't leave?"

Her expression was obviously nervous, which made Huo Weilou raise his lips, "I know the best of how many houses there are in this mansion. Do you not even give me a guest room?"

Bo Ruoyou realized it and she jumped off his knees in Huo Weilou's teasing gaze, and quickly walked to the door to call Aunt Liang.

The current residence of Chengzhai is Kuoda. Aunt Liang quickly packed up a guest room next to Bo Ruoyou's courtyard. Bo Ruoyou and Huo Wei Building left the main hall and saw only a frost and white color outside, while heavy snow was falling in the sky, making the weather even colder.

Huo Weilou protected Bo Ruoyou with an umbrella, and sent her to the residence hall first, and then went to the living yard. Bo Ruoyou stood at the door and saw him step out of his yard, feeling a sense of peace in his heart. The more difficult the situation, the more tenacious her mind would become. Thinking that her brother's case might be very difficult to investigate, she had to force herself to withdraw from the many emotions of the victim.

He was right, she was mistakenly becoming a coroner, perhaps it was really in the dark.

Bo Ruoyou washed and rested, and the sleepiness in her body came, which made her fall asleep quickly. In the dream, she recalled the scene when she wanted to learn the art of coroner with her adoptive father when she was just sensible. Although she could not remember the old things at that time, when she saw her adoptive father's death, she subconsciously thought of the accident between her brother and her parents. She was confused and felt that this road must be right.

The dreams that had been all night made her sleepy even if she fell asleep. When she woke up in the morning, the window was bright and she hurriedly got up. When she pushed the window, she found that it was snowy outside. She thought about leaving the city today, and thought about Huo Weilou was still in the mansion. Soon, she came to the main hall and arrived at the main hall. Huo Weilou was indeed talking to Cheng Yunzhi.

The two of them didn't know what they said, and their faces were a little calm. Seeing that she was coming, they both smiled. Bo Ruoyou didn't even bother to tell the difference, and just said that he wanted to leave the city after breakfast.

Cheng Yunzhi was worried that she would tell Huo Weilou about the old story. At this time, she wanted to say something but stopped. Instead, Huo Weilou said quietly: "It's better to go and have me with you, please don't worry Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Yunzhi had no choice but to give up. After the three of them had breakfast, Huo Weilou ordered his accompanying servants to leave the city with her. Before leaving, Bo Ruoyou hesitated, "The Marquis wants to investigate the matter of the Relic Tower, may he have time to accompany me out of the city?"

"Ning Xiao has returned from the southwest and is now in a sufficient position to handle the staff, so he can naturally deal with it. I don't have to do it myself, so you can rest assured."

With such words, Bo Ruoyou completely relieved himself. The two set off together in the same car. On the way, Bo Ruoyou asked about the ban on gold ointment in the southwest area. Huo Weilou said it was impossible to ban it completely, but now the officialdom in the southwest is reshuffled, and in time, the golden ointment will always be extinct.

The road was slippery on the snow, and the carriages were not moving fast. When they reached the south of the city, it was already rising. But just as their carriages were about to leave the city, they suddenly saw a group of government offices galloping into the outside of the city. One of the yamen had someone tied up on the back of the horse, and the group of people flew past their carriages and headed towards the direction of the government office.

Bo Ruoyou's heart moved slightly, "Have you caught someone?"

Huo Weilou immediately sent someone to chase after him to investigate. After a moment, the attendant returned and said, "Marquis, the county lord, he has indeed caught the escaped murderer."

Bo Ruoyou was excited and thought that it would take several days to chase the murderer, but he didn't expect that the yamen operators were so fast this time. She changed her mind and ordered the carriage to go to the yamen first.

On the way to the yamen, Bo Ruoyou was quite nervous. When he arrived at the gate of the yamen, he saw that there was a mess in the yamen. When she and the two of them entered the yamen, they were meeting Wu Xiang who was strode out of the prison cell. When Wu Xiang saw them, he looked happy and went forward to salute and said, "Li Shen was caught! This kid was indeed on a carriage to the ferry and was caught up by us halfway! Next, just interrogate him carefully and you are-"

Bo Ruoyou was anxious and said to Wu Xiang: "When the headmaster interrogates this person, you should ask another case."
