Chapter 210 Ten Flowers 24
At dawn, everyone brought two coffins into the city. They parted at the city gate. Sun Zhao followed Huo Weilou into the palace to face the saint, Wu Xiang sent the coffin into the charity house, and Bo Ruoyou went home first to wait for news.
Now that the evidence of the crime is complete, there is no need to worry about not being able to prove Feng Qin, but Feng Qin is so kind that he doesn't know how to make a quibble. If Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager are protecting it, it will be difficult for Huo Weilou and the Direct Envoy to be the chief trial of the case. Huo Weilou is now entering the palace, so that Feng Qin will first make a statement to His Majesty, so that Feng Qin will make every attempt to defend himself when he confronts him in court.
When Bo Ruoyou returned home, it was just dawn. She was exhausted and her feet and hands were frozen without any sense. She first took a bath and changed clothes with hot water, and then asked Aunt Liang to bring some hot soup to eat, but then she didn't dare to sleep, so she only found paper and pen to write the test.
The test case is only used when the court is completed, but this case is very important. Bo Ruoyou always feels uneasy. She can only feel more at ease after finishing everything she can do.
Cheng Yunzhi knew that she was busy with the case these days. When she saw her writing a test case, she came up to see it. Before she finished reading it, he knew that the case had a result. "Is it really Bo Zhongyi?"
Bo Ruoyou drank two sips of strong tea and cheered up and said, "I used to speculate earlier that now it can be concluded that when Princess Anyang and Feng Yu died of illness, Feng Qin personally prepared a funeral. The two died so strangely, but he kept silent. If it was not his doings, it would be unreasonable."
Cheng Yunzhi's wrinkled face was full of stunned silence. Everyone knows that Zhongyi Bo is indifferent to fame and fortune and pampered his wife. But at the end, the death of his beloved wife and eldest son was actually done by him. Not to mention someone who is familiar with Feng Qin, even Cheng Yunzhi felt illusory.
Bo Ruoyou looked at Cheng Yunzhi's expression and said, "Is the adoptive father confused? Actually, I have never understood why he took this vicious attack. Now, according to time, Feng Yu is the first person to be murdered by him. He does not seek fame and fortune in the career, nor is it because of the deep affection of Princess Anyang, why did he murder his parents and children?"
Cheng Yunzhi was born in the capital, and he had some understanding of the Zhongyi Bo Mansion, but at this time, he could not think of a reason, "As far as I know, Feng Qin is indeed not interested in the career of the officialdom. In order to marry Anyang, he is willing to be a wealthy idle person. If he is said to have a devil in his heart because of Anyang's death, I believe it, but if he said he would do something else, I can't think of it."
His turbid eyes narrowed slightly, and he tried to recall, "The uncle's mansion has been prosperous for generations, and the old man is also a kind person. There is only one Feng Qin under the husband and wife. Feng Qin was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. What else did he ask for?"
He even did not hesitate to murder his wife and children for this.
Bo Ruoyou's understanding of Feng Qin was only based on Cheng Yunzhi's statement that he was deeply in Anyang, but he knew very little about it. But she firmly believed that there were many reasons for a person to act violently and to know why Feng Qin did evil, he could only continue to investigate from Zhongyi Bo Mansion.
With a flash of eyes, she saw the paper boat on the table. There was no handwriting on the latest folded paper boat. She had been working hard for the case these days, had no nightmare, and had no strange behavior again. Although she did not believe in the sayings of ghosts, her younger brother's spirit in the sky might be able to see her efforts for it. Now, the real murderer is finally punished!
After writing the test, it was already bright, and Bo Ruoyou took a break in exhaustion. As soon as his head was stained with a pillow, he fell asleep. Her physical fatigue made her have no time to dream, but she felt that she had just fallen asleep and knocked outside.
She woke up with impatience and heard the aunt outside say, "Miss, wake up soon, someone is coming from the palace-"
Bo Ruoyou woke up with a sudden inspiration. She looked out the window and saw that the sky was in full swing and it was almost noon. She quickly changed her clothes and got up. When she opened the door, Aunt Liang said, "Miss, someone has come from the palace. I said I would like to enter the palace. Your Majesty wants to see you."
"Is the eunuch here to summon?" Bo Ruoyou asked.
Aunt Liang shook her head, "I don't think she is a knife like an eunuch."
Bo Ruoyou's eyes turned and understood, then turned around and took the written test, and quickly walked out of the yard.
The person who came to Xuanzhao to summon Bo Ruoyou into the palace was the imperial guards in the front office of the palace. Bo Ruoyou was quite respectful to him. This person told him the purpose of his visit, and Bo Ruoyou followed him to enter the palace.
She walked through the imperial road when she entered the palace. She was worried all the way when she was summoned to the palace for marriage the last time, but at this time, she was quite calm and calm. The ink traces in her hand had been dried up. Every word was a crime committed by Feng Qin. The people in this world were subtle and complicated, and the superiors were even more unpredictable. But just like every case that had been solved in the past, the evidence on the corpse was always the most convincing. Even in front of the emperor, she had the confidence to move forward.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Bo Ruoyou followed the imperial guards into Xuanwu Gate. The sky was dark when he entered the palace the previous time, but today it was almost noon. For some reason, the weather that had been gloomy for many days finally cleared up. The warm sun in the clouds shone a golden light, and the cramped palace became brighter.
Bo Ruoyou was taken to Zhaoyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, County Lord Anning has arrived."
After a low report, Bo Ruoyou was called into the hall. As soon as he entered the door, several gazes in the hall fell on her like a substance, either with pressure or questioning. There was only one gaze, which was gentle. Bo Ruoyou quickly raised his eyelashes and looked over, facing Huo Weilou's obsidian-like eyes.
She closed her eyes and walked into the hall, saluting to Emperor Jianhe and Empress Dowager Song on the couch in front of the window.
"Are you Princess Anning? What are you holding in your hands?" The Empress Dowager Song looked kind, but the tone of questioning was stern at this moment.
"When I go back to the Empress Dowager, the girl in her hand was a test case." I was afraid that the Empress Dowager and Emperor Jianhe would not understand, Bo Ruoyou said again: "It is the evidence of the body of Princess Anyang and Prince Feng's eldest son."
The Queen Mother and Emperor Jianhe were obviously a little surprised, and Emperor Jianhe said, "How do you know that Xuan was summoning you to ask you about the autopsy?"
Bo Ruoyou said respectfully: "The Marquis entered the palace to report the case. The civilian girl was a coroner. His Majesty and the Queen Mother Xuan Min entered the palace, so he naturally had to ask about the autopsy."
Emperor Jianhe said: "Check the test and report it."
Fuquan walked over quickly and took the test and presented it to Emperor Jianhe. After Emperor Jianhe opened it, his eyebrows became solemn. The emperor was intimidated by unusually. Everyone else in the hall was silent. The empress dowager looked at his expression and asked tentatively: "How?"
Emperor Jianhe hesitated for a moment and did not show the test case to the empress dowager. The details he wanted to ask were on the test case. He looked at Bo Ruoyou again, "The cause of death in Anyang was caused by external force cracking of the skull behind the brain. You may guarantee that the result of your test is not wrong?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "The young woman can guarantee it."
Emperor Jianhe glanced at Huo Weilou, "If you wrongly test it and wrongly accuse someone, it would be a serious crime."
Huo Weilou was about to speak, but Bo Ruoyou said: "There is no more important than the great proof of prison, the great proof of the first love, and the first love is no more important than the test. 1. When the test determines life and death, one should be cautious and cautious. The civilian woman has been examined for several years, and there has never been any mistakes. If this wrong test is done, the civilian woman is willing to bear the blame."
Seeing that Bo Ruoyou didn't look at Huo Weilou, he seemed to be very sure and fearless. Emperor Jianhe had a look of admiration in his eyes. He looked at the Empress Dowager, "Mother, Anyang and Feng Yu are indeed harmed. After Anyang and Feng Yu had an accident, they were all mourning for him, but he never mentioned that the two died of illness. There was no one else except him."
The empress dowager seemed unwilling to accept such facts, but Emperor Jianhe saw the verification, but he believed more deeply about Huo Weilou. Even if she didn't believe Huo Weilou, could she still doubt Emperor Jianhe's judgment? Soon, her hand that fell beside her was tightly clenched, "Feng Qin... Why is Feng Qin? He loves Anyang the most, how could he kill Anyang? And Yu'er, who didn't say that Yu'er was extremely talented, would definitely be granted a marquis and a prime minister in the future, and he was so proud at that time!"
Emperor Jianhe took a look at the test case again and was also stumped by this question, "My mother and I don't know what the reason is. I have to rely on the direct envoy to interrogate me. I also want to know why he is so at this level!"
He looked at Huo Weilou, "Go and get people, do it neatly, don't let rumors spread in the capital."
Huo Weilou breathed a little relieved when he heard this. Emperor Jianhe glanced at the test, raised his hand and threw it to Sun Zhao standing beside him. Then he went to see Bo Ruoyou again. The last time I saw her, she seemed quite a lady from a family, but today I felt that she was even more courageous. "I heard that in this case, your brother is also for the murdered person. Will you be favored for him?"
Huo Weilou frowned immediately, and Bo Ruoyou also looked up at Emperor Jianhe and said seriously: "My younger brother was killed. As a relative, the young woman wanted to find the person who perpetrated him to avenge him. As a coroner, the young woman also wanted to find the clues to avenge the victim. This is not a conflict. Moreover, only by finding the real murderer can we comfort my brother's spirit in heaven. Therefore, the young woman will only be more cautious when dealing with this case."
Emperor Jianhe smiled. The empress dowager on the side thought that Feng Qin had harmed Princess Anyang and his son, but she still sighed with red eyes. Emperor Jianhe did not give much advice and ordered the yamen and the direct envoy to strictly investigate the case.
Huo Weilou took Bo Ruoyou to leave the palace and went outside the palace gate. Huo Weilou comforted him: "It's over now, and it's impossible for Feng Qin to escape. Lu Ke has surrounded Zhongyi Bo Mansion and will send someone to the Tianzhu for interrogation later. You can go home and wait."
Yan Bi shook her hand, only to feel that her fingertips were cold, "You have just recovered from a serious illness and were tired and cold last night. When you go home, you can use some ginger soup. Don't get the wind and cold. The case has reached this point, and there is no room for improvement. You can rest assured."
The ironclad evidence is as strong as a mountain, not to mention that Feng Qin fell into the hands of the Zhizhi Office, Bo Ruoyou believed that Huo Weilou would definitely be able to find out the truth.
When Bo Ruoyou left, Huo Weilou rode his horse toward the Bo Mansion Zhongyi. The door of the Bo Mansion was closed, and the embroidered clothes envoy came forward to call the door. The person who opened the door was also the embroidered clothes envoy. Huo Weilou entered the door and soon Lu Ke came out.
"Have you seen Your Majesty?"
Huo Weilou nodded, "Taked Feng Qin to the Tianzhuo to be tried, search the Bo Mansion inside and outside, and all the servants of the Bo Mansion were escorted to Jingzhaoyi Yamen for interrogation."
Lu Ke should be, the dead Zhongyi Bo Mansion suddenly became noisy.
Huo Weilou stood under the eaves of the icy house. Not long after, he saw Feng Qin being twisted out. His injuries had not healed. At this moment, he was powerless to resist by embroidered clothes. Seeing Huo Weilou, Feng Qin's eyes were deep and he was harsh, but he did not struggle and shout, and was soon sent out of the mansion.
There was no mistress in the uncle's house, and there were not many servants. Everyone was taken away in a manner, but Feng Ye kept calling for justice. The embroidered robbery raised his hand and cut his arms back. Amid the humiliating cry, Feng Ye was taken away.
Soon, Sun Zhao arrived at Bo's Mansion, and Huo Weilou ordered him to interrogate the servants of Bo's Mansion in the government office, and he was not in a hurry to go to Tianzhu to examine Feng Qin. The entire Bo's Mansion was searching for evidence, and Huo Weilou stayed in the mansion.
This mansion, located outside the imperial city, has a history of a hundred years. After two expansions, the mansion is as vast as the Marquis' Mansion. Huo Weilou looked at the continuous eaves covered with ice and snow, and was very curious about the secret hidden in the mansion. This is where Feng Qin has lived for more than 40 years, and all his sins will be left behind here.
Huo Weilou went to Feng Qin's main courtyard first. After Lu Ke asked, he said, "This is the place where Feng Qin lives after Princess Anyang passed away. The old servant said that Feng Qin was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, so he changed his residence."
If you don’t know the truth, of course you have to think that he is afraid of seeing things and thinking about others, but now that you know that Anyang was killed by him, then he is guilty.
The hospital was arranged in a very elegant and simple manner, and it was indeed like a place of hard work and many things from Taoism. In Feng Qin's study, in addition to Taoist scriptures, there were also many Buddhist and shamanistic scriptures. Huo Weilou walked up and read two books casually, questioning: "When did he start to believe in the way of gods and Buddhas so much?"
Lu Ke said: "When I was waiting for the marquis just now, my subordinates asked about the old servants who had been with Feng Qin for many years. They said that the Feng family has believed in this way for generations, and not only Feng Qin, but also the old man also believed in this way."
Huo Weilou looked deep in the inner courtyard, "Continue to search and see where Princess Anyang lived in that year."
The embroidered clothes scattered all over the Bo Mansion, but after searching, no suspicious things were found. Although Princess Anyang's residence was still preserved, most of the furniture inside was replaced, covered with dust and no clues were left. Feng Ye's yard was even more ordinary. At this time, Lu Ke stepped forward and said, "There is still the last ancestral hall and the yard where the old man lives have not been searched."
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment and chose to go to the ancestral hall in person. The ancestral hall of Bo Mansion is not big, and it is the most secluded place in the northwest corner of the mansion. The surrounding pines and cypresses are towering. Now the snow has not yet melted, and the branches are covered with jade branches. When he reaches the main hall, he will see that there are places for sacrifices in it, with curtains hanging everywhere, and runes and prayer flags hanging high, looking like he has entered a solemn Taoist temple.
The cushion in front of the tablet is half old, and it seems that people often come here to kneel down. Soon Lu Ke came in and said, "The people in the mansion said that Feng Qin was in the mansion and would come here to worship his ancestors almost every two days. After he came back last night, he also came here to worship."
As soon as he finished speaking, an embroidered robber came from outside, "Mr. Marquis, I found something in the old man's yard, you go and have a look."
Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows and walked out, saying, "If you remember correctly, the old man passed away ten years ago. Now twenty-years have passed."
Lu Ke, the group left the ancestral hall and went southwest along the corridor. Soon, the yard where the old man lived arrived. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the yard, Huo Weilou felt that the yard was a bit strange.
This courtyard is located on the west side of the mansion, with three entrances in total. It is placed in Bo Mansion, which is larger than the courtyard where Princess Anyang and Feng Qin live alone. The courtyard wall is square, facing north and south, and has wing rooms on both sides of the east and west sides. However, it is not like ordinary houses, and it is staggered due to their different uses. It is absolutely symmetrical. Huo Weilou stood and took what he saw. Soon, he found out where this was wrong.
"Mr. Marquis, what's wrong?"
"This courtyard is larger than the ordinary courtyard."
Lu Ke said: "The ancestors of Bo Mansion have made contributions. The rewards were given by the Marquis' Mansion. Later, Bo Mansion was expanded and renovated, which made it today's current momentum. Their ancestors were also very prosperous, and this scale was considered ordinary."
Huo Weilou shook his head, "This yard is built according to the direction of the Bagua. The Gannan and Kun north are all on the central axis, and the left and right are the sun and the east and west of the moon, and the Kan and Li are symmetrical-" When he was young, he marched and fought. He had a little bit of knowledge about the Bagua star, but it was difficult to go deeper. "Go to Sanqing Temple to find a Taoist priest."
After giving the order, Huo Weilou stepped into the yard. There were many pine and cypress plants in the garden, which were so strict and quiet. Unlike the yard that Huo Weilou thought was already remote, this courtyard was actually quite neatly maintained. The embroidered clothing envoy who reported the news said: "Mr. Marquis, I found several magic weapons in the main house of the second entry, and a bright yellow robes."
The bright yellow color in Taoism was written by the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Master. Huo Weilou quickly walked into the house. Sure enough, he saw several emperor bells, swords and other objects. The decorations inside the house were different from ordinary houses. There was even a platform under the north wall of the main hall, where there was no image of the true god on the platform, and it was empty. The robes were found by embroidered clothes from the dark cabinet below the tribute platform.
Huo Weilou instantly understood where this courtyard was.
It was already dusk outside, and it was dark early in winter, and the night was about to fall if there was no more than a moment. Huo Weilou said, "Continue to search, wait until the Taoist priest comes, let him see if there is any strangeness in this yard. I will go to the yamen."
He turned around and headed straight for Jingzhaoyi Yamen.
Feng Ye and others were brought to the yamen prison. Sun Zhao came back from the palace and was interrogating them. When he heard that Huo Weilou was coming, he hurriedly came out. When he met Huo Weilou, he asked: "What has been interrogated?"
Sun Zhao said: "There are only five people in Bo Mansion for more than ten years, and they were replaced in the early years of the village outside the city. They don't know how Princess Anyang died, but only know that it was Feng Qin who personally wore the shroud for Princess Anyang."
Huo Weilou nodded and turned to say, "Ask anyone if you know how the old man died back then." After saying that, "Prepare a copy of the case test and this case file, and this marquis will go to trial Feng Qin."
Sun Zhao immediately went to prepare and soon sent it to Huo Weilou. Huo Weilou left with an embroidered suit and sent the imperial horse. In less than half an hour, he arrived at the Heaven Prison. Feng Qin was taken to the Heaven Prison after Wuxia. At this moment, he had been locked in the dungeon for five hours. The dungeon was wet and cold, and there was no sky light. Because it was deep underground, the quiet needles could be heard. Feng Qin could still hold on, but when time passed, he inevitably became anxious.
When Huo Weilou showed up with people, he felt unaware of fear, but instead felt like he was rescued.
He was dragged into the interrogation prison like goods, and the shackles on his hands and feet were heavy and harsh. Facing Huo Weilou after the criminal case, he wanted to pretend to be calm. "The Marquis really did everything for the sake of the county lord Anning. I dare to ask the Marquis that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager have already forgiven me. Could it be that if I had hidden the bodies of Anyang and Yuer in private, it would have become a serious crime to enter the prison?"
Lu Ke would not say much when he brought the people there. He didn't know that they had examined the bodies of Anyang and Feng Yu. Huo Weilou said in a cold voice: "Of course, it's not worth hiding the corpse in private, but it's different to murdering his wife and the eldest son."
Feng Qin's pupils shook slightly. Just as he was about to defend himself, Huo Weilou pulled out the verification certificate and asked the servant to hand it to him.
Feng Qin didn't understand why, but when he saw what was written on the paper, his fingertips began to tremble. The more he looked down, the more difficult it was to tremble. The shaking was tight, but the bowstrings were tight. Huo Weilou looked at him leisurely, without urging him.
After Feng Qin finished reading, his gaze was still on the paper. He lowered his head, his face and shadow merged into one. No one could see his expression clearly in the prison room. After a long time, the candles in the corner dimmed a little, and he slowly raised his eyes. His usual clear and gentle eyes were now covered by frost, and there was a gloomy sarcasm between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Is this the one who verified Anning County Lord?"
Huo Weilou's expression was the answer. At this time, Feng Qin suddenly sighed with great regret and said calmly: "Can you believe what she has tested in a person with crazy?"
Chapter completed!
