Chapter 111 Six Flowers Flying 07

Bo Ruoyou got up early, had breakfast, and went straight to the Yamen. It was already the peak of spring, and the streets and alleys were lined with elms and willows, and the tops of tung trees were covered with green trees. When the sun climbed up to the sky, it was already Somewhat exciting.

When Bo Ruoyou arrived at the Yamen, he only saw Wu Xiang coming out of the back hall holding a stack of official documents. When he saw her entering the door, he greeted her with a smile. Bo Ruoyou glanced at his arms and said, "What kind of cases are these? Documents?"

Wu Xiang sighed, "It's the case in Guzhang Village and the case of riding a horse and wounding people the day before yesterday."

When the case was brought up, Bo Ruoyou's eyes dimmed, "Has Mr. Huang been here?"

Wu Xiang nodded and followed her to the duty room where the clerks were, "I've been here, the evidence has been written, the case has been settled, and the young master of the Wei family has also been picked up. The son of a scholar, hehe——"

Wu Xiang mocked and sneered again. Bo Ruoyou looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"

"My lord and I were interrogating him together that day, but there seemed to be something abnormal about Mr. Wei."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Is it abnormal?" She thought for a moment, and when she thought that it was Feng Ye who had spoken that day, she couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Could it be... that he is mute?"

Wu Xiang laughed out loud when he heard this, "It's not that he's mute, he's just a bit confused. No, I can't say confused. It's just that the preface and the follower are inconsistent. How should I put it? It's weird. You can't tell anything if you don't open your mouth. If you open your mouth, you will feel as if you have a fever or you will be drunk."

Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised when he heard this. What he saw that day was that Wei Yan looked nervous and his body was stiff. He felt guilty at first glance. However, he was hiding next to Feng Ye, and he was obviously very dependent on him on weekdays. Feng Ye never thought that he would behave like this after he spoke. But after hearing what Wu Xiang said and thinking about it, he felt that besides being nervous that day, he was also trying to restrain himself.

Bo Ruoyou said: "Maybe he really drank."

Wu Xiang waved his hand, "The person I asked has never drank. I suspect that he has a bad mind or has suffered from some disease. It is not surprising that such a person would have such an accident in a busy city. It's just that Poor innocent people."

Bo Ruoyou frowned. Now that the case has been finalized, there is no need to go into details. Even if the Wei family master got sick, he would still end up hurting people. Huo Weilou said that the price would be paid sooner or later, but if it comes, It's too late, but it's still a rare comfort.

The two entered the duty room. Wu Xiang put down the official documents and stretched a little tiredly. "It's been a leisurely two days. I can finally have a good sleep when I get home today."

When Bo Ruoyou heard this, he suddenly thought that he had known Wu Xiang for two months and seemed to have never heard him mention his wife and children, so he asked casually: "Are Mr. Wu's family members all in the capital?"

Having never mentioned it, Bo Ruoyou subconsciously felt that Wu Xiang’s wife and children were afraid of staying in the old family area, but Wu Xiang smiled and said: “Old Wu has never married a wife and has no children, so he has nothing to worry about. A single man!"

Bo Ruoyou was shocked, Wu Xiang was already thirty years old and he didn’t marry a wife? In this world, unless the family is poor and cannot find a wife, there is no one who cannot get married. Especially men, who often think about passing on the family line. Once they reach the age of ten, they have to ask a matchmaker to inquire in many ways to find a suitable marriage. .

Bao Ruoyou didn't want to show her surprise too obviously, and her expression was only slightly startled. The corners of her lips moved slightly. She wanted to ask but felt that it was too much. She didn't ask. Wu Xiang came out of the room with a smile, "In the early years, I also talked about getting married, but it didn't work out. Later, my parents died at home, so I thought, why would I marry a wife? It would only be more tied up. If something dangerous happens in the future, how can I dare to charge into battle? In this world, men and women are all If you want to get married, I will try a different way of living."

Bo Ruoyou's heart was shaken when she heard this. Wu Xiang looked heroic and rude, but she didn't expect him to be so unafraid of the world in this marriage. She didn't think Wu Xiang was weird, but she admired him a little. The world seemed invisible. Shackles and shackles are light if you go with the flow, but if you do something extremely unusual, the shackles will be a hundred times heavier, and ordinary people cannot bear it.

"The head catcher has a bold and unruly heart, which is admirable." Bo Ruoyou said sincerely.

Wu Xiang smiled and held the sword at his side. Seeing the sincerity of Bo Ruoyou's words, his face showed discomfort, "Well, that's not the case. In fact, I have never met someone I like. I have been older for a year or two. Now, others look down upon me, and I don’t want to find someone to delay others. I also find it troublesome, so that’s it. I live my life no matter how I live. My own happiness is important. What if I run into a bad person one day while running errands, and I don’t pay attention. It’s a good thing to lose your life and not have your wife and children.”

This was a very unlucky statement, and Bo Ruoyou laughed, "Don't say that to the head catcher. Your safety is the most important thing when doing errands in the future."

The two of them were talking and laughing when Bo Ruoyou caught his eye and saw a figure in a green shirt turning in from the corner door. This was the inner office, and ordinary outsiders could not come in. But the man was sneaky, with his back But he was very familiar with it. At this time, Wu Xiang shouted, "Hu Changqing, you are really amazing. How many days have you been coming to the Yamen? Don't you want to do it?"

The shadow in green shirt turned around, his face a little embarrassed, it was Hu Changqing.

We haven’t seen each other for a few days. Hu Changqing is still wearing the white washed silk shirt, but he seems to have lost a lot of weight, and his eyes are also green and black. Bo Ruoyou can see clearly, Wu Xiang is also surprised, he He took two steps forward and said, "Xiao Hu, are you sick? Why have you lost so much weight?"

Hu Changqing coughed lightly, "No... I just caught the wind and cold a few days ago, and I haven't recovered yet..." He said, covered his lips and coughed lightly, and then glanced deep into the inner office, "Sir But not here?"

Wu Xiang looked him up and down, "What are you going to do if you are not here today? There is no case, so you are here in a big way."

Hu Changqing looked stunned, "I...I'm here to pay this month's salary."

Wu Xiang raised his eyebrows high, "It's not April yet, and you used to be quite frugal. You thought you saved money. How can you pay your salary now? Where has your money gone?"

Hu Changqing looked at the ground, then looked in anxiously, and said: "Since your Excellency is not here, I will come back tomorrow." After saying that, he walked out, and turned back after a few steps, "If there is a case, I will come back tomorrow." The catcher must call me."

After saying this, he glanced at Bo Ruoyou with some dissatisfaction, his eyes seemed to warn her not to compete for his job. Bao Ruoyou felt that he couldn't laugh or cry, but he had already walked out quickly.

Wu Xiang’s brows furrowed more and more tightly, “Can people lose weight so fast if they catch the wind and cold?”

Bao Ruoyou hesitated for a moment, and then said: "He is just pretending. If he really caught the cold and lost weight within a few days, then he would be so severe that it would be difficult to get off the ground at this moment, and he was not hoarse when he coughed just now. Or a feeling of phlegm, pale complexion, not like fever, although the breath is weak, but not smooth, no matter how you look, it does not look like you are infected with wind and cold. Instead, your eyes are black and blue, your lips are chapped, your eyes are unfocused, and your steps are sloppy, as if He hasn't slept for many days."

Wu Xiang's eyes lit up, "Yes! That's it, it's not like the weird things we do when we can't rest when we're busy." He frowned, "Another piece of money, this kid won't get caught in anything. Money is your hobby, right?"

Bo Ruoyou didn't understand Hu Changqing and didn't make any judgments. Wu Xiang sighed, "He grew up in a scholarly family when he was young, but when he was ten years old, his family was convicted and he was also a slave. Later, He had no choice but to follow the old man to learn the craft, so he was unwilling to do so, but he had already joined the humble labor force, so there was nothing he could do about it. In addition, the adults praised him a lot. In the past two years, he had no merit but hard work, but this year has passed. Over the years, he has become more and more unruly. If this continues, he will no longer want this job."

"I'm on duty today. I'll go to his house to have a look." Wu Xiang paused for a moment and then murmured to himself, "This kid doesn't go to many places where there are hooks."

Bo Ruoyou just pretended that she had not heard this. Seeing that nothing happened at the Yamen, she said goodbye to Wu Xiang and returned home. The sun was already setting in the west. Bo Ruoyou wondered if Huo Weilou had found such a beautiful woman. The place of laughter is also relaxing for a while.

There was no progress here in Huo Wei Tower. He returned to the Hou Mansion first, and Lu Ke and Ning Xiao arrived after a while.

Lu Ke said with a solemn expression: "I asked several gardens in the capital, and also went to the gardeners in various mansions in the capital. No one knew what this beautiful smile was. The villain thought, maybe that People use their own gardeners, or it's just a coincidence that someone doesn't know what a beautiful smile is, but they like the color of the flowers and keep them in the garden."

Huo Weilou disagreed with this statement, "This thing is rare and expensive, and it is very delicate and difficult to raise. The weather in the capital is not suitable for this thing. In this case, if you just raise it casually, how can you raise it well? If it is really like you As you said, we really have encountered one, so we can just use the manpower of the entire Directive Department to find the needle in the haystack."

Ning Xiao said: "In prison, Bo Jingqian still used the same rhetoric. He suffered a little bit last night, but he did not change his confession."

Huo Weilou rubbed his fingers and said, "If you don't say anything, let's let it dry first and see how long it can last. As for the beauty's smile, it is the most important clue at the moment. It cannot be lost. Except for the gardener, the supplier of flowers and herbs." Vendors must also be checked one by one."

Lu Ke responded, "Then the Marquis might have asked Miss Bo to draw two pictures? The people below only asked for the names and knew the approximate colors, but they didn't know what they looked like."

Huo Weilou took a look at the sky outside and saw that dusk was approaching, so he ordered people to invite Bao Ruoyou to come over. Just after he finished the instructions, Huo Qinghong and Ming Guilan came outside to report.

Lu Ke and Ning Xiao retreated and waited. Not long after, Huo Qinghong pushed Ming Guilan's wheelchair into the study room in Huo Wei Building.

Huo Qinghong not only came today, but also brought a brocade box. As soon as he sat down, he presented it to Huo Weilou like a treasure, "Brother, this is a new good thing I got recently. Brother, everyone can forget it, but I will never forget Big Brother, and this thing is very helpful to Big Brother, so please accept it."

Huo Qinghong looked at Huo Weilou with a dog-legged look, and Huo Weilou frowned, "What kind of vulgar thing is this?"

"This is not a vulgar thing! This thing is very expensive. I spent a lot of money to buy these." Huo Qinghong was very enthusiastic, "The most important use of this thing for me is that it can When you are tired, just use a small amount to refresh your mind, so that your brother will not feel tired even if he works all night long."

This is not the first time that Huo Qinghong has offered treasures to Huo Weilou. He has grown up with gold and jade, and ordinary and rare things cannot catch his eye. Occasionally, he will present some rare things to Huo Weilou. , however, no matter how rare the treasure is, it is nothing more than a common thing to Huo Weilou. Over the years, there are only a few weapons that are still satisfactory to Huo Weilou.

If it was normal, Huo Weilou was about to reject the fancy brocade box when he saw it, but he didn't expect that Huo Qinghong said that this thing would keep him from getting tired even if he stayed up all night. He became slightly interested and took it in his hand. Opening it, I saw a jade bottle inside.

He asked: "What kind of medicinal materials are not good?"

Huo Qinghong smiled and said, "It can also be used as a medicinal material!"

Huo Weilou looked at Ming Guilan who was standing aside. Ming Guilan spread his hands and said, "I don't know what kind of weird thing it is. I have never heard of it. As for the purpose of refreshing the mind, Lord Marquis can just listen to it. People It’s just a physical body, so it’s impossible to truly cultivate to become like a god. Resting when it’s time to rest is the way to maintain health.”

Ming Guilan is a doctor, so of course he will not listen to these fallacies said by Huo Qinghong, but Huo Qinghong snorted softly, "I wanted to give you some, but I already expected that you wouldn't want it, so I didn't give it to you. You, I have tried this thing for a few days, and it is very effective every time. If you don’t like these, don’t come to rob me. Anyway, my big brother can use it.”

Huo Weilou frowned slightly after listening to his words. He opened the jade bottle and saw a golden paste inside. He put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed, but there was only a faint scent of grass and trees. There was nothing weird about it. land.

"What is this thing called? Where did you get it?"

Huo Qinghong smiled and said: "This thing has two names, one is called Golden Ointment and the other is called Bliss Powder. It was first spread among the nobles in the southwest. Now, just a few days after entering the capital, it is said that it is used to harvest hundreds of flowers. It is made from the essence of hundreds of herbs. It means gold ointment. First of all, the color of this thing is like gold. Secondly, this thing is worth one or two gold just for fingernails and urine. It means bliss powder, which means that this thing can make people reach the state of bliss. environment."

When Huo Weilou heard this, he felt that this thing was not serious. "You want to eat it in your belly? Is it the same as refining elixirs to seek enlightenment?"

In the previous dynasty, there were people who were obsessed with cultivating Taoism and became immortals. They used gold, stone, grass and trees to make elixirs, and then swallowed them. Most of them died of poisoning. Later, in this dynasty, alchemy was called a forbidden art, and the Taoist lineage also declined. After a few minutes, Huo Qinghong now breathed out one mouthful of bliss, which made him feel uncomfortable.

However, Huo Qinghong waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, it's not for food. Don't worry, brother. I don't dare to give him anything in my mouth. This thing is used for incense——"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and took out a fine brass-forged treasure from the brocade box, which looked like a lotus seat with incense sticks. There was a hole in the middle of the lotus seat. Huo Qinghong said: "Brother only needs to put Put the gold paste in the hole, and then light a wick under it. When the wick burns, it will heat up the gold paste on it, and you only need to smell the smell."

Huo Weilou felt troublesome when he heard it, and he frowned and wanted to put it away, but Huo Qinghong couldn't help but continue to praise this thing, "Brother, believe me, this thing will definitely be very useful to you, but it is better than those heavy ones." Sandalwood is very useful. If I feel tired, just a little bit and a whiff can restore my energy a hundred times."

If it is just a refreshing thing, why is it so valuable? He frowned and said: "What kind of talk about the state of bliss?"

Hearing this, Huo Qinghong smiled slightly, "I'm afraid I won't need this for a while..."

Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows in confusion, and Huo Qinghong said: "This bliss means that if you are with a woman and use more doses of this product, you will be a hundred times happier -"

With a "pop" sound, Huo Weilou threw the jade bottle heavily into the brocade box, "So you got this thing in the land of fireworks?"

Huo Qinghong waved his hand quickly, "No, no, no, that's not it. This was given to me by Feng Ye and the others. It's hard to find, but it's different from the ones used in the land of fireworks, but I heard that the capital is more powerful now. There are also such things in the land of fireworks, but of course, what they got are just inferior things."

Seeing the disbelief on Huo Weilou's face, Huo Qinghong added: "Brother didn't believe it, so he asked Guilan. I don't go out much these days. Even if I use this thing by myself, it can make people feel happy."

Huo Weilou still felt that this thing was inappropriate, so he went to see Ming Guilan again, "Is this thing poisonous?"

Before Ming Guilan spoke, Huo Qinghong said: "Brother, look at me, see if I am poisoned? I gave it to brother after I tried it myself. If it was poisonous, then Feng Ye and the others would have been poisoned long ago. And died."

Ming Guilan couldn't laugh or cry, "The Marquis I've seen does seem to be non-toxic, but this kind of stuff is just like those nasty medicines. It can cause some damage to people, so it's best not to use it unless necessary."

Huo Qinghong grimaced, "Is it so serious? Am I not doing well?"

Huo Weilou shook his head, but put away the brocade box, "Everything is too full, and you will lose. The words of bliss are just playing with things to lose one's ambition. You don't go out these days. When the case in my hand is over, I want to work with you. Please tell your father and mother to find you a job."

Huo Qinghong shrank his neck and did not dare to argue anymore. Seeing that Huo Weilou put the brocade box on the corner of the table without paying attention, he could only sigh with regret, and Huo Weilou and Ming Guilan Let’s talk about business.

"Did you know that there is a medicinal material called Beauty's Smile?" Huo Weilou asked.

"Beauty smiles?" Ming Guilan thought about it for a moment, "I don't seem to have any impression. What's wrong? Is this medicinal material related to the case?"

Huo Weilou nodded, "I didn't expect that even you didn't know. In the past few days, we have been looking for a place where beauties can smile in the capital, but we haven't found it yet. I'm afraid it will take some effort."

Ming Guilan thought deeply, "I really don't have any impression, but do you have another name?"

Huo Weilou shook his head and Ming Guilan said: "When I return home, I will ask my father. He may know about some rare medicinal materials."

Huo Weilou responded and turned to look out the window, as if he was waiting for someone.

Ming Guilan said: "Master Hou, will you have guests later?"

Huo Wei never changed his tone, "for the sake of the case."

After hearing this, Ming Guilan looked at Huo Qinghong and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis has official duties. Let's go. You've also given away your things. It's better to return home early." He said and glanced at Jin. Box, "It is better to use these unsophisticated items sparingly, as they may cause harm to the body."

Huo Qinghong knew what he meant, and he said helplessly: "It's not what you think..."

After listening to what he said, Ming Guilan only regarded this thing as a charm potion and aphrodisiac. Although he didn't think it was a good thing, the children of the aristocratic family played tricks, and he also knew some of those messy things. As long as he didn't If it hurts the root and can't be stopped, he won't talk much. And because of his disability, he has always been reticent and doesn't even bother to look at these things.

Huo Weilou also said: "If I knew that you spend all your time thinking about these things, you wouldn't have to find a job in the capital and go to the North to practice for a few years."

Huo Qinghong was startled and hurriedly reassured him. After a while, he left with Ming Guilan.

After the two of them left, Huo Weilou looked at the brocade box in front of him with some helplessness. He listened to it for a long time, but it was just something to replenish one's energy. Then he thought about what Huo Qinghong said about having fun with a woman. , I also thought about the aphrodisiac, and the fireworks began to circulate, so how are they different from the charming medicine and fragrant fragrance? At most, the person selling this thing is bragging about being expensive.

Although it was non-toxic, he was still afraid that Huo Qinghong would be seriously injured. He turned around and put the brocade box on a low cabinet not far away. He thought about the case at hand and had to go to Huo Guogong's mansion. , this thought settled, he sat down again and read the official documents.

When Bao Ruoyou arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, he saw a car and horse leaving. He didn’t know who it was. When he entered the Hou Mansion, he was greeted warmly by Mr. Fu. After asking, he found out that it was Gui Lanhe from Ming Dynasty. Huo Qinghong was here just now.

Eunuch Fu laughed and said, "Your Majesty came to give the Marquis some treasures, and I don't know what new things he got. It's getting late now, so he went home."

Bao Ruoyou understood clearly and went straight to the study. When Huo Weilou saw her coming, he first stood up and gave up his seat, then waved to her, "Come here -"

Bao Ruoyou stepped forward in confusion, Huo Weilou grabbed her wrist, pulled her to sit on a chair, and spread out a piece of white paper, "I asked you to come here today because I want you to draw the beauty's smile. Today They searched around but couldn't find this kind of medicinal material. They asked many people, but they didn't know this thing, so they copied it to avoid someone who had seen this thing but didn't know the name and made a mistake."

Bo Ruoyou suddenly said, "So that's it. Let me think about it. I found this medicine in my adoptive father's medical book. There were drawings of flowers and fruits on it, but the drawings were very rough."

There were only a few strokes on the medicinal material booklet. Bo Ruoyou thought for a moment, added the description, and started writing in a moment. Not long after, a delicate flower appeared on the paper, "It's probably this." It looks like a red, purple-red color, very bright and gorgeous."

Huo Weilou waited for the ink to dry before he picked up the drawing paper, looked at it, and ordered someone to call Lu Ke and Ning Xiao. After handing the painting to them, he went back inside and entered the door. Then he saw Bao Ruoyou holding a military book on his desk and reading it.

He walked forward slowly and asked with a smile: "Can you see clearly?"

The military book was open, otherwise she wouldn't have looked at it more. Seeing him coming back, Bo Ruoyou stood up hurriedly to make way for him, "I don't understand anything, but I'm a little curious."

Huo Weilou pressed her shoulder and flipped through the military book, "What are you curious about?"

The other person stood behind the chair and leaned over her to flip through the book. His tall figure immediately enveloped her, and the heat of his words fell on the top of her hair, causing her to shrink down. , "I... I'm curious as to why the Marquis returned to the capital and always had military books in hand."

As a little girl who studies medicine and autopsy, she is naturally not really interested in leading troops to fight. She just wants to know what he is thinking. Huo Weilou straightened up and said, "The temple is just like the battlefield, but there are some Military generals will only kill the enemy on the battlefield, not in the temple. What is fought on the battlefield is the management of troops, the right time, the right place and the right people. The same is true in the temple."

Bao Ruoyou turned around and looked up at Huo Weilou, his eyes full of trust and admiration, "Master Hou, do you still have any rivals now?"

He couldn't bear to be looked at by her like this. He couldn't help but brush the hair on the side of her cheek and brushed her cheek with his palm. She seemed to be used to his touch and was not embarrassed. His palms also became numb and numb.

He retracted his hand to calm down and said, "Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The emperor's heart is unpredictable. What's more, the court hall changes day and night. Only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can you last a long time. And I already like this way, so the book will not leave the case." It’s ordinary.”

This is no different from the Huo Weilou in Bao Ruoyou's imagination. He went to the battlefield at a young age and had outstanding military exploits. He was originally a person who was good at planning and planning. However, people in the court were killed without blood. Although there was no smoke, murderous intent was everywhere. , some people say that he has excellent luck, thanks to a good background, but there are many nobles in Beijing, but no one can be as young as him to take power. Luck is a humble word for the strong, but some people who are sitting in the well take it for granted. Really.

Bao Ruoyou looked at him with brighter eyes. Huo Weilou's heart bulged when he saw it, and she could hardly help but want to lean forward to do something. The admiration in her eyes was undisguised, even though there were so many people who had seen him like this. There are many plans, but hers is uniquely different. He was not an arrogant person, pride was engraved in his bones, and he was powerful when he was not angry. At this moment, when she looked at him, his heart was surging.

He endured it again and again before pulling her up. But just as he was about to leave the desk, Bo Ruoyou saw the gorgeous brocade box. The bright colors with complicated patterns were incompatible with his study room. It wasn't his thing, so she asked curiously: "Master Hou, what is this?"

Huo Weilou's heart tightened. Bo Ruoyou was also familiar with medical science. If she could see that the contents in the brocade box could replenish the essence, strengthen yang and charm, wouldn't it be difficult for him to explain?

He said without changing his expression: "Oh, Huo Qinghong's things were left behind."

Bao Ruoyou rolled his eyes when he thought of what Eunuch Fu said, and he keenly realized that things were not simple.
