The Delicate Lady Coroner - Chapter 208

It was not until halfway through the time that the news came out from the palace. The attendants sent out came back and told them: “The county lord, father-in-law, and Lord Hou were temporarily left in the palace. Uncle Zhongyi said that it was because of the disappointment of the lord of Anyang and Feng Yu. His Majesty and the Queen Mother were very grateful to keep his body by his side. His Majesty Shicai sent someone to the ancestral tomb of Uncle Zhongyi, planning to move the remains of Princess Anyang and Feng Yu into the ancestral tomb quietly tonight. Uncle Zhongyi has already responded. “

Bo Ruoyou and Fuan looked at each other, and she was surprised: “So Uncle Zhongyi was not suspected?”

“I don’t know this yet. I only know that I went to see your majesty after noon. Later, I didn’t know what to say, so I sent someone to the ancestral mausoleum of Uncle Zhongyi. People in the palace will be noticed when they move, and people in the palace will go quietly, unconsciously.”

Bo Ruoyou frowned her eyebrows, “Can there be any movement in the House of Zhongyi?”

The attendant shook his head, “No, everything is business as usual.”

Bo Ruoyou nodded, and when the attendant retired, she was puzzled. Fuan calmed down when he saw it. “Don’t worry, wait for Master Hou to come back. He already has a ghost in his heart. Just continue to investigate. Can find out the crime.”

Bo Ruoyou’s heart was a little anxious, “Uncle Zhongyi burned himself and erased the scars, even if I came forward to prove that it was useless, and he burned the alchemy, mostly because of luck and wanted to bury the underground palace. As for the gold in the altar furnace Silver is mostly evidence of smelting crimes. If he burns the Buddha’s treasure, there is really nothing to do with him.”

Fu’an was also full of distress, “What should I do then?”

Bo Ruoyou calculated it carefully, “He removed the scar and destroyed the Buddha treasure. The scene of the murder of several children cannot be determined whether it is in Zhuangzi. Even if it is there, after many years, most of it will not leave a trace… “

Fu Gong justified: “He buried the underground palace, but still left the remains of Princess Anyang and Feng Yu, but this is not a serious crime compared to murder.”

“He committed the crime in order to bring the Lord Anyang and Feng Yu back to life. Naturally, he would not destroy the remains. Now he only needs to admit that he did not buried the Lord Anyang and Feng Yu in the ancestral mausoleum. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother think he is right. Princess Anyang is deeply affectionate. As long as he doesn’t do anything that hurts the world, he won’t be blamed in the future.”

Bo Ruoyou pondered for a moment: “Li Shen believes in a cult and has murdered Wen Jin. If he can find evidence that he and Uncle Zhongyi have known each other for a long time, then Uncle Zhongyi will be more suspicious.”

Uncle loyal and righteous often appear in the eyes of the world with indifferent fame and fortune. If he is involved in a murderer who believes in a cult, he will naturally become more suspicious. Bo Ruoyou glanced at the door anxiously, but he still did not see Huo Weilou. “Since If you want to remove the body, then you will soon be unable to find out Lord Sun and Luke.”

Bo Ruoyou did not expect to be wrong, only two cups of tea, she never waited to return to Huo Wei Tower, but first to Sun Zhao and Lu Ke, they had been busy all night, and at this moment, her body was covered with soot from the fire. I even brought two bamboo baskets with me, and the frames were filled with black charcoal blocks. Upon closer inspection, they were a bit of gold and silver.

Lu Ke pointed to the “charcoal block” in the frame and said: “The county lord, these are all taken out of the pill furnace. Uncle Zhongyi didn’t know what was melted. We couldn’t tell for a while. The palace sent someone to Zhuangzi. If we upload, we have to come back first, and bring these things back together to see if we can find anything.”

Bo Ruoyou said hard, but Father Fu hurriedly ordered people to bring hot water and meals, everyone washed a little, and then started looking for clues in the pile of gold and silver after eating. Bo Ruoyou discussed with Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang. Feiyunguan was thoroughly investigated by the Yamen on that day. In what year did Uncle Zhongyi start offering incense in Feiyunguan?”

This was visited by Wu Xiang’s relatives, and he naturally remembered clearly, “It has been for many years, at least 20 years, because the old Zhongyi also had the habit of believing in the past. There are several Taoist temples outside the city. They were worshipped by the ancestors from time to time. The uncle generation first followed his father to visit the Taoist temple, and then the old Zhongyi uncle passed away. He was also quite charitable, and he was never stingy with the sesame oil money.”

Most families in the capital have the habit of believing in Buddhism. This is also true and common. It can be imagined that Uncle Zhongyi might have had the opportunity to get acquainted with Li Shen. In her heart, she always felt weird that Li Shen was pushed out to commit the crime. , Did he tell Uncle Zhongyi, or Uncle Zhongyi told him?

And Wang Qingfu was a Jinshi in the 12th year of Jianhe, if Feng Qin really helped him…

wrong……

Bo Ruoyou frowned sharply. In the twelve years of Jianhe, the lord of Anyang and Feng Yu had not passed away. Why did Feng Qin at this time help a Wang Qingfu who had nothing to do with him?

The old question has not been solved yet, and the new mystery is like a fog that obscures the way forward. Bo Ruoyou’s heart is a little panic. At this moment, the outside attendant hurriedly reported, “Master Hou is back!”

Everyone felt excited and all greeted them outwards. Soon, they saw Huo Weilou stride forward with a cold expression, and behind him followed Ning Xiao with the same solemn expression.

Seeing Luke and Sun Zhao and others returning, Huo Weilou was not surprised. He stepped forward and met Bo Ruoyou’s eyes for a few moments, and then asked about the results of the search outside the city. Luke followed them into the house, “the key was not found.” For clues, the subordinates of Anyang County Lord and Feng Yu’s corpses probably took a look. There were no obvious wounds and deformations. Because they were not victims of this case, their identities were also valuable, and their subordinates did not dare to be disrespectful. Later, they searched the entire underground palace. Nothing was found. When the people in the palace came to Zhuangzi to post a message, the subordinates brought back what they took out of the pill furnace to see if they could find anything.”

Huo Weilou nodded, and when he took off his cloak, he said, “The news from Huai’an has arrived. There are some new doubts, please listen to it.”

The word Huai’an attracted Bo Ruoyou’s attention, and Ning Xiao stepped forward and said: “Our people found Zhao Qianshan and asked about Wang Qingfu’s entry into the official position. After almost 20 years, he still remembers that according to him Said that it was Feng Qin who found him that year and made his men to let Wang Qingfu be merciful. At that time, Zhao Qianshan was just an officer in charge and did not dare to act rashly. However, Feng Qin was the loyal prince and good son-in-law. The students are helpful, so he is willing to take risks.”

“Furthermore, he said that he was willing to take risks because Feng Qin told him that Wang Qingfu was born in an official clan and was well-known in Qiangzhou. He only ended up miserably when he was implicated. He also said that Wang Qingfu was indifferent, not a name. The profit-seeking person, even if he entered the sixth department, would go to the Qinggui Yamen, and would never be eye-catching and suspicion of investigation. At the time, he did not know what Qinggui Yamen was, but he did not want Wang Qingfu to enter the Ministry of Rites first, and soon went to Taichang Temple. He was relieved at the time.”

If Wang Qingfu is sharp, he will naturally attract people’s hatred. If he wants to impeach him from a family of criminal officials, most of it will have a lot of influence on his official career. Zhao Qianshan will not be able to get out of the relationship by then, but he went to Taichang Temple and other officials, and he was much safer. .

Hearing this, Bo Ruoyou couldn’t help but ask: “Master Hou, what did the palace say? Don’t you really doubt Uncle Zhongyi?”

Huo Weilou said solemnly: “Your Majesty said that if there is no evidence, harmony is the most important thing.”

There is indeed no direct evidence at the moment, but Bo Ruoyou’s doubts a moment ago seems to have an answer, “Hou Ye, Uncle Zhongyi came to Zhao Qianshan when he was founded and twelve years ago. This shows that he was willing to support Wang Qingfu at that time, and He also wanted Wang Qingfu to go to a leisurely place according to his wishes. What’s more, he thought at that time to let Wang Qingfu go to Taichang Temple.”

“I thought like this when I heard Zhao Qianshan’s words.” Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows. “It was the twelve years since the establishment of Hehe. The lord of Anyang and the loyal Bo Qinse were in harmony, and Feng Yu had not yet died of illness. Their family is happy and harmonious, and Feng Qin has already given up on his official career and seems to be living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, but he helped Wang Qingfu secretly.”

Bo Ruoyou’s heart beat faster, “Wang Qingfu was implicated, and his career should have been bumpy, but he later stayed in Beijing as an official. Uncle Zhongyi was considered his great benefactor. If Uncle Zhongyi had reported to support him, then let him take advantage of it. The idea of ​​helping him profit from his position…”

Huo Weilou gave a final word, “It is very likely that before the death of Anyang Princess and Feng Yu, he began to be infected with the cult.”

Before Anyang and Feng Yu died, they were infected with a cult. Later, the eldest son of his beloved wife died of illness one after another within a short period of time.

Bo Ruoyou felt a little bit twisted, “But Anyang and Feng Yu hadn’t passed away at that time. If you just read some evil doctrines and have evil thoughts, can you try to put people on the court? Taichang Temple is in charge. Tianjia ancestral temple rituals and sacrifices, and at that time what he asked was not to bring Anyang mother and child back to life, he should not make such an arrangement.”

Huo Weilou came down silently. Even if he had evil thoughts, he could not take risks for these evil thoughts in the first place. How could Feng Qin think so deeply at that time?

Unless then, he will have an unattainable goal and plan how to use Wang Qingfu.

“Perhaps Feng Qin believes that the technique of death is not for others, but for oneself.”

Huo Weilou’s voice was heavy, and this remark coincided with Bo Ruoyou’s guess. Her back was slightly cold, but she felt that the mist in front of her eyes had cleared. The time of offering incense is extremely early, so he is very likely to know Li Shen very early, but for many years he has not been exposed.”

After overthrowing Feng Qin’s speculation that Anyang and Feng Yu had fallen into the evil way, Bo Ruoyou’s heart was blank for a moment, “But if it wasn’t for the rebirth of Anyang and Feng Yu, why didn’t he order Anyang and Feng Yu to be buried?”

Huo Weilou glanced out the window. The dusk had arrived, and the dark clouds were over the city. Thinking of Feng Qin’s pretentious appearance in Zhaoyang Hall today, he said coldly: “If they are not buried, they can be excused today.”

Huo Weilou’s remarks made Bo Ruoyou’s heart chill. Feng Qin was obsessed with cultivating the Taoism, had a devilish heart, or needed someone in the court, or if he really had the idea of ​​Buddhism, he could spend a few years supporting Wang Qingfu, and He committed crimes year after year, maybe he had already guessed that the day he would be discovered, he would use the remains of his wife and children as a guise? !

If Feng Qin really had such thoughts, how unpredictable this person would be? When the Anyang princess was happy to marry Feng Qinzhi, he might have thought that the person sharing the same bed was such a heart-hearted person?

“Can he really have such thoughts?”

People’s hearts are unpredictable, Bo Ruoyou has seen many fierce and cruel people, but it is probably Feng Qin who treats Anyang princess’s love and preconceived, she doesn’t want Feng Qin to have such a heart.

Huo Weilou didn’t know what she was thinking about. Thinking of going to Zhuangzi outside the city to speak and do Feng Qin’s words and deeds last night, he became more and more sure that this person’s city mansion was extremely deep. It is accessible to ordinary people. At the beginning, when he was half-feared, he would try to let us find other people, but he came on his own.”

Not only was there a bitter cold, but Lu Ke and Ning Xiao both heard a change of expression. Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang looked at each other. They had dealt with Uncle Zhongyi. They used to feel that others were immortal and indifferent to fame and wealth. I’m afraid to come after I feel it out.

Sun Zhao sighed, “Although no direct clues have been found on Zhuangzi this time, as long as we continue to investigate, it is not hopeless.”

Huo Wei Lou said: “Tonight, the remains of the princess and Feng Yu will be moved and buried. Uncle Zhong Yi is injured and will stay in the city to recuperate. Two days later, please ask the monks of Xiangguo Temple to do super-dharma services for them. Neither the queen mother nor her majesty have ever He was punished by Uncle Zhongyi, but he also felt that his obsession was too deep and perverse, and he would not be allowed to continue to cultivate.”

If you have murdered so many children, can you be punished if you don’t practice the Tao?

Bo Ruoyou suddenly realized Feng Qin’s brilliance. Knowing that the government might re-investigate Guilan’s case, he first recommended a surrogate with multiple conditions. If he really took the place, he would sit back and relax forever. If you succeed, you may not find him, you may find it. Maybe you can’t find the underground palace. Even if you find the underground palace, it’s just an innocuous fault because of the deep love.

With this pretense, and then erase the iron proof, he will never be a murderer.

The sky darkened outside the window, and the room darkened a bit, Bo Ruoyou’s mood at this moment was as dim as the light of the day.

“We still need to find the stable wife of the year. Yuan Jie is far in the northwest, and the news has not been returned. If it can be confirmed that Yue Mingquan’s promotion in the Zhenxi Army is also related to Feng Qin, then it can at least prove that the two people he helped happen to be with each other. The case of the loss of Buddha treasures in Famen Temple is related. Your Majesty is not a faint person. Naturally, he understands that there are many mysteries in it.”

Huo Weilou’s words were instructing everyone, but his eyes fell on Bo Ruoyou, “Uncle Zhongyi now knows that we are suspicious of him, but he thinks he has handled it properly and everything is well, and he will lose his defense.”

After saying that, he looked at Lu Ke, “It’s too late. Go and screen the gold and silver items you brought back. Sun Zhao and the people from Yamen go back and rest.”

As soon as the voice fell, the attendant said outside: “Hou Ye, Mingyuan Zheng and Ming Gongzi are here.”

The victim of the first case that year was Ming Guilan. Last night, the embroidered clothes envoy entered Zhongyi Bobiezhuang, and today he alarmed the queen mother. After such a long time, most of the family also has a little spread. The Ming family’s father and son heard the news. Come, not surprising.

The attendant Huo Weilou asked their father and son to enter. The two of them walked all the way. They saw that the officials from the Hou Palace and the embroidered clothes ambassadors were all exhausted, and they knew that they really made a big move last night. When they got to the main hall, they saw Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang. Now, I can’t help but show hope.

The ceremony was seated and Huo Weilou told the truth. When he heard that the murderer had not been captured, both Ming Guilan and his son were a little disappointed.

Ming Zhonghuai sighed, “I should have thought that it would not be so easy, but is it really Feng Qin?”

Naturally, Huo Weilou would not elaborate, but he would not deny it, “I can’t find the key evidence yet.”

Ming Zhonghuai is so insightful, and Huo Weilou has always said nothing. He almost convicted Feng Qin by answering this way. He had a slight shock in his eyes, and it took a while to accept the answer, and then he fell into a certain memory. “It was actually him. Before Guilan helped Hou Ye and the county lord to buy a house outside the city, I heard him say that it was done by a family close to the city in the city. I still don’t believe it, but I didn’t expect that there would be many contacts. people.”

When Huo Weilou heard this, his heart moved slightly, “Guilan said that you had some contacts with the Bofu in the early years, so do you know about the blood collapse of the Anyang County lord after childbirth? You also went to the funeral of the lord back then? Feng Qin sees Is there any abnormality?”

Ming Zhonghuai didn’t know why Huo Weilou asked about the lord of Anyang, but now he knows that Feng Qin is the murderer who killed his son for a lifetime. He naturally remembers it with all his heart, and he has studied medicine since he was a child and has a deep memory of things related to illness. “I know about this matter. When the Anyang princess gave birth to the second son, he was very hard pregnant, and it was quite difficult to give birth. He did have a blood collapse at that time. At that time, he also disturbed the palace, and the queen mother sent a doctor to save his life. At that time, it was said that he had been rescued, but after the imperial doctor left, the princess still did not hold on to it. Later, the official went to the funeral.”

Ming Zhonghuai narrowed his eyes. He was a healer. When he talked about the patient cherishing death, he should have been compassionate, but he thought of Feng Qin’s evil, but he felt that it might be Feng Qin’s retribution. Feng Qin was very sad after the death of the Anyang county lord. He seemed to be lost. Not only did he not pay attention to the newborn baby, but also the eldest son who was infected with the epidemic, but also let him take care of him. That is why Feng Qin The eldest son of the family passed away due to improper care.”

“When the eldest son died of illness, the Anyang County lord had not yet passed the first seven, and naturally it was another heavy blow to Feng Qin. He buried the eldest son in a hasty manner, and he was in a state of failure. He thanked the guests behind closed doors for three months. After three months, he changed. Seeking the truth like a personal one.”

At this point, Ming Zhonghuai glanced at Ming Guilan, but the pupils were still unwilling to say, “Speaking of the movement between the two houses back then, it is also because the Anyang princess was also very physically weak when he was pregnant with the first son. At that time, my father was taking care of the princess, so that the princess gave birth to the child. The child’s birthday was quite auspicious, and he was clever and smart at a young age. Huiji must be hurt, it’s a premature death.”

Ming Zhonghuai couldn’t help but look at Ming Guilan’s legs. “At that time, Feng Qin was very grateful to his father. Although Ming’s family was not a marquis, it was also a physician for generations. In the first two years, there was little contact with the surrounding families, and then there was less walking with our family, but I didn’t expect that he would hit Guilan with his ideas.”

Thinking that the young boy of the Bo family was also harmed by him, Ming Zhonghuai looked at Bo Ruoyou with a bit of pity in his eyes, but Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou, who knew the circumstances of the case, felt a little weird.

The world thinks that Feng Qin’s quest for the truth was after his wife and eldest son died violently, but all the signs indicate that he was most likely to have moved his mind before then, and his support for Wang Qingfu was not a plan for the resurrection of Anyang.

Bo Ruoyou carefully discerned whether Feng Qin’s transformation after the death of Anyang and Feng Yu was true or false, but suddenly, she looked at Ming Zhonghuai with a strange expression. ?”

Ming Zhonghuai nodded, “The eldest son of the Feng family was the same age as Lord Hou. At that time, he was worried about childbirth. He invited my father to sit in the mansion. Therefore, my father knew the birthday of the eldest son. His birthday was an extremely rare third in that year. The number of Yang, it is said that people with this birthday are born with more blessings than others—”

Before Ming Zhonghuai finished speaking, Bo Ruoyou’s expression changed, “The number of three suns?”

Before Ming Zhonghuai nodded, she looked at the Huo Wei Tower, and Huo Wei Tower straightened her back immediately.

At this moment, Ming Zhonghuai not only nodded his head, but also sighed bitterly: “I won’t remember it wrong, because Guilan’s birth date was like this, but there is no superfluous blessing, but it’s just the words of the sorcerer. “

Bo Ruoyou’s fingers in his sleeves are tightly twisted together, and they are the number of three suns. Although these births are rare, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, and babies born on the same day every year are not a few. The perpetrators in this case all chose those with auspicious longevity. Ming Guilan was like this, Bo Lanzhou was like this, and the other children killed, except Wen Jin, were also like this.

However, it is the first time Bo Ruoyou knows that Feng Qin’s eldest son Feng Yu is also on this birthday, and her voice suddenly becomes a little bit difficult. Just died of illness?”

“Yes, there was a famine that year. In the winter, many victims wandered outside the city, and there was a plague. Those plagues are similar to typhoid fever, but they are extremely difficult to cure. Some people from the Bo’s Palace accidentally caught them and brought them back. The other adults in the Bo House were unharmed, but the eldest son was infected, and he could not be cured for a month before and after the illness.”

“Fever, sore throat, lack of water, coughing and bleeding, which is quite tormenting. At that time, an imperial physician came to the government for consultation. Others were busy with the funeral of the princess. Some people were afraid that they would be infected. I took care of him. The doctor was supposed to ask for a fever, but the person was negligent. Later, the child had a high fever, coughed blood and stained his clothes, and finally died.”

Huo Weilou understood why Bo Ruoyou had this question, and there were countless questions in his heart. “At that time, Feng Yu died of illness, but someone saw it with his own eyes?

“It was the two who were in charge of looking after the children, a nurse and a maid. Feng Qin was so angry at that time, they killed the two directly without escorting them to the government. The young one was not a domestic slave, but an outside buyer who did not sign. The death contract. For this reason, the family found them and almost went to the official mansion. Later, they were suppressed. Few people in the mansion knew about the specific situation, and the official did not know it. These were also heard intermittently later.”

Huo Weilou’s phoenix eyes sank, “Have you seen the child’s body?”

“No.” Ming Zhonghuai said: “The princess has not passed the first seven. It is impossible to hold a funeral for the children, so he did the ritual in the small courtyard and was buried next to the princess’s new grave.”

The two slaves were killed by a stick, and more than ten years have passed since this incident. If you go to the mansion to look for an old man to inquire at this time, I am afraid that you can’t ask anything, but Feng Yu’s death sounds strange, so Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou A terrible guess came out from the bottom of their hearts. They looked out the window, and the night had sunk down. At this time, in the villa outside the city, they must have been preparing to remove the remains of Anyang and Feng Yu.

Bo Ruoyou kept calculating the possibility that the guess was true, and the more he thought about it, the more cold he became in his heart. At this time, Huo Weilou had already stood up immediately, “This child may not have died of illness.”

He turned his eyes to look at Bo Ruoyou, “It’s still too late to start and stop. If people are buried, it will be impossible to open a museum to dig a grave.”

Bo Ruoyou couldn’t bear to believe it anymore, and he was determined by Huo Weilou’s decision, “Okay, I want to get the post-mortem box first.”

Huo Weilou ordered his attendants to take it, and ordered Luke to immediately take his warrant to stop the corpse from the Bezhuang outside the city. Neither Ming Zhonghuai nor Ming Guilan reacted to this momentary change, but Sun Zhao was the big one. Surprised, “Master Hou suspects that Feng Yu was killed? But… but he is Feng Qin’s parent and child, and there is no proof at the moment, maybe we can get it?”

Huo Weilou’s pupils were cold, “He is the prince of the Bofu Palace, so he can’t be tested, but if he is the victim of this case, then he can be tested!”

When the sky fell, there was also Huo Wei’s building on the roof. Everyone did what he wanted. Soon, a few people from Huo Weilou wore cloaks and went out to the gate of the mansion. They were full of carriages and horses. Huo Weilou accompanied Bo Ruoyou into the carriage. In the howling winter wind, galloping towards the gate like an arrow from the string!
