Chapter 119 Six Flowers Flying 15

The carriage rumbled along. In the dim carriage, Huo Weilou held Bo Ruoyou's hand and fell asleep against the wall of the carriage. Bo Ruoyou looked at him with some worry and couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, what are you doing?" Do you feel any discomfort? Although the golden ointment was only used once, the Marquis may have been poisoned, but it just didn't show up."

He held her hand tighter and said, "Don't worry. According to our inspection last night, several people have used gold ointment once or twice, and they are all fine now. Although they feel a little uncomfortable, it is nothing. ."

After all, Bao Ruoyou couldn't completely rest assured and couldn't help but use her free hand to check his pulse. Her warm fingertips fell on his pulse gate, causing Huo Weilou to open his eyes and look at her. He only saw her. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her face was solemn, as if she was doing something very important. Huo Weilou's eyes were half narrow, and he looked at her unscrupulously.

When Bo Ruoyou met his gaze, Huo Weilou said seriously: "Doctor Bo, how are you doing?"

The word "Doctor Bo" made her a little surprised. "Although Mr. Hou's pulse is up and down and strong, it still feels a little tight. It must be caused by excessive worry and fatigue and lack of sleep."

He looked at her seriously, "Oh, how should we diagnose and treat it?"

Bo Ruoyou thought for a moment and said, "How about I give Mr. Hou a prescription?"

Huo Weilou frowned slightly, "The medicinal soup tastes bitter, is there any other way?"

Bo Ruoyou was stunned for a moment, was he afraid that the medicine would be bitter?

Seeing her look like this, the corners of Huo Weilou's lips raised. Only then did Bo Ruoyou realize that he was joking. Huo Weilou's smile deepened, "There's no need to prescribe. If you come to the Hou Mansion more often, you'll be better than Any elixir will work."

Bao Ruoyou shook his head angrily, then opened the curtain and took a look at the street scene outside. Seeing that he was still some distance away from the palace gate, he said: "Then, Lord Marquis, please take a rest. When I get to the palace gate, I will call you Lord Marquis."

Huo Weilou looked at her deeply, then leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes.

The sky is still early, and the occasional carriages and horses on the imperial street are heading towards the palace gate. The shops facing the street have not yet opened. On the long street, only the sound of rolling wheels echoes, and Bo Ruo sits quietly. As he stood, his eyes fell on Huo Weilou from time to time.

Although he was not as pressing as usual when he was sleeping lightly, his brows were still frowning subconsciously, so as not to give the impression that people should not approach him. Although he was cold, his palms were extremely warm. He was holding her hand at this moment. , she felt warmth all over her limbs.

After seeing more, Bo Ruoyou's gaze became clearer. The dim light showed more and more that his facial features were deep and his contours were handsome. His shoulders were straight, and it was difficult to see any signs of fatigue on him at any time. , even with her eyes closed, she still gave people a sense of intimidation and uprightness. She couldn't help but move her hands secretly, and gently held Huo Weilou.

This was a cautious move. She was afraid that Huo Weilou would open his eyes and tease her, but he didn't notice it at all, as if he was really asleep.

It is not too far from Lanzhengfang to the palace gate. When the carriage stopped, Huo Weilou slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were dim for a moment, but they soon became clear. Seeing this, Bo Ruo Only then did you realize that he had really fallen asleep just now.

Bo Ruoyou said softly: "Master Hou, we're here——"

Huo Weilou frowned, as if he thought he was going so fast today, but he didn't know that when Bo Ruoyou got on the carriage, the attendant of the Marquis who was driving had deliberately slowed down the car.

He did not act immediately. He raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows while looking at her. He saw her sitting quietly and obediently on the side seat. The faint light from the gap in the curtain fell on her shoulders, half of her The profile of his face was as bright as jade, and he couldn't help but feel his throat roll, and there was some untimely warmth in his eyes.

"Master Hou?" Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but call out again when he saw his dark expression.

Huo Weilou said "Hmm" and straightened up. His brows and eyes were even more anxious. Bo Ruoyou was a little confused. Huo Weilou looked at her hesitantly for a moment, and finally suppressed those thoughts.

"They will send you home. Today the Imperial Hospital is going to the city to visit patients. If I have any conclusions, I will tell you." He knew that she must be concerned about this matter, so he simply made arrangements and said He said deeply: "If you can't wait, come to the Marquis Mansion."

The corners of Bo Ruoyou's lips curved slightly, "Okay, I know."

Huo Weilou felt that Bao Ruoyou was a little too moved at this moment. He shook her hand tightly, leaned out of the carriage, and ordered the attendant to send the person back Haosheng, and then looked at her with a rather cold look. He glanced at the guard driving the car.

The guard was shocked by what he saw, and for a moment he was afraid that he had done something wrong.

When he walked in front of the palace gate, Huo Weilou's surroundings had returned to a threatening appearance. The imperial guards respectfully let him enter the imperial city. After entering the outer court, Huo Weilou went straight to Chongzheng Hall.

The morning court had ended, and Emperor Jianhe was waiting for him. When he saw him coming, he immediately ordered someone to give him a seat.

Huo Weilou Surong reported the income from the previous day. Emperor Jianhe listened solemnly and said, "This thing has flowed in quietly. In just four months, so many people have been addicted to it, and more than you did the night before." What was measured was more serious."

Huo Weilou said sternly: "That's true, Your Majesty. After a thorough inspection the day before yesterday, there were already a hundred people on the list. After today, I'm afraid the number will be close to a thousand, and more than half of these people are already addicted to diseases."

Emperor Jianhe asked: "I heard that Hong'er was also poisoned?"

Huo Weilou's eyes darkened slightly. Not many people knew about Huo Qinghong, but it still spread to the ears of Emperor Jianhe. He hurriedly said: "Yes...he has been fond of fun since he was a child and knows how to interact with others." It’s not a surprise that he has come to this. Now he is being detained in my house. He is just waiting for the Taiyuan Hospital to develop an antidote. He can only suffer a little these days."

Emperor Jianhe sighed, "You are like a brother to him, but he has never learned any of your self-control. Let's teach him a lesson this time. As long as it doesn't hurt his roots, it doesn't matter. ."

Huo Weilou naturally responded. Emperor Jianhe looked at him for a moment and said, "I heard that you are often accompanied by people who are on errands. Do you have a woman?"

Huo Weilou tightened his fingers silently, but his face was calm, "Yes, a female widower, I met her when I was in Qingzhou, she is also from the capital, the case in Luozhou , it was she who helped me, and when I returned to Beijing, I recommended her to work as a widower for the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. When Song Yu died, I also ordered her to conduct an autopsy."

Seeing that Huo Weilou had nothing to hide or omit, Emperor Jianhe was very satisfied, "You never take a woman on errands, and I heard that the woman is also the daughter of a noble family, and she is described as beautiful. Why, you have changed it now Are you losing your temper?"

Huo Weilou hesitated a little after hearing this, and then said: "She really likes me."

Emperor Jianhe immediately smiled, "It's rare, it's rare, which girl is she from?"

"She is the daughter of Bo's third wife. She left Beijing when she was young and returned this year." Huo Weilou suddenly thought of something, "Her father, you should remember that she was appointed by you more than ten years ago. Hanlin Bo Jingxing."

Emperor Jianhe murmured the name once, and a look of surprise appeared behind him, "She is actually his daughter?"

Huo Weilou should be. Emperor Jianhe recalled the past for a moment before he smiled and said: "This is also fate. Bo Jingxing was quite outstanding among his generation, but later, I remembered that there was an accident."

Huo Weilou nodded, and Emperor Jianhe asked: "Then what are your plans?"

Huo Weilou did not hesitate this time, "Now that there is injustice in the court, I also have errands to attend to. When these troubles are resolved, I will ask Your Majesty to grant me a marriage."

Emperor Jianhe smiled brightly, "Are you serious about coming here for the first time? If she is Bo Jingxing's daughter, her status is lower and she is not worthy of you. I remember this matter about the Ministry of Finance at the moment Isn't Bo Dalang, the head of the Bo family, already in prison?"

"The Bo family is quite alienated from her. Your Majesty also knows that I don't value status. She is a very gentle and kind person, and her temperament is also extraordinary. Women can't compare. Marrying a wife who suits your heart is better than anything else." All important."

Emperor Jianhe sighed after hearing this, "That's all, I know you also have some heart problems. Don't worry, I won't use those family backgrounds to embarrass you when it comes to marriage. As long as you ask, granting a marriage is nothing. What?"

Huo Weilou thanked him and turned the conversation to gold ointment. He wanted to issue an injunction to track down the people behind the flow of gold ointment into the capital. He also wanted to set up a temporary hospital to generate revenue for those who wanted to get rid of their addiction. This is also good. He ordered the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to diagnose and treat the patient. After hearing this, Emperor Jianhe felt that this method was very good. Even if it was accurate, he discussed other matters for half an hour before Huo Weilou withdrew from the palace.

As soon as he left, the imperial study was quiet for a moment. Not long after, Emperor Jianhe exhaled, "The daughter of the third brother of the Bo family has no father or mother, and she is a widower. What do you think?"

Emperor Jianhe looked at the **** Fu Quan next to him. Fu Quan tugged his lips and said: "The Marquis's vision is naturally very good. For a little girl to work for a man, it seems that her temperament is indeed extraordinary. It is nothing more than her status." It's just a shortcoming. Your Majesty has always been considerate of the Marquis, so it won't be a big deal to give him more rewards."

When Emperor Jianhe heard this, he smiled kindly.

Huo Wei came downstairs and Dan Chi's expression became completely cold. Since he had no intention of hiding her, it was only a matter of time before Emperor Jianhe found out. Thinking of Bo Ruoyou's worries, he couldn't help but feel Helpless, in this world people who value family background cannot influence his marriage, and the only person who can influence his marriage does not want him to marry a girl from a noble family who holds real power.

Thinking of this, Huo Weilou felt a different kind of luck. He had the right time, place, and people under his control. If that was the case, why not settle the marriage earlier? Then, why should he covet Lanzhengfang? At the moment when we arrive at the palace gate?

This thought revived Huo Weilou's mind. He quickly left the palace and rode his horse to Jingzhao Yin Yamen.

……

After Bao Ruoyou returned home, he went into the study again. He was much more diligent than when he was a child. Cheng Yunzhi didn't say much when he saw her like this. He just drank tea and cultivated flowers in the house, and went out from time to time to walk around with the neighbors, enjoying himself. happy.

In the evening, Zhou Liang, who had gone out to do some shopping, came back and reported to his father and daughter: "Master, Miss, the gold ointment has caused quite a disturbance. Many shops in the East and West markets have closed because of it. Anyone who has used this stuff will The brothels and brothels in the brothels are now sealed by the yamen, and they have to be closed for a while. Those places are where people make money every day, and many brothels are also for attracting customers. Now the owners behind them are afraid that they will regret it and cry. ."

"Not only that, the Jingzhao Yin Yamen and the Jiucheng Patrol Battalion requisitioned a city guard barracks in the south of the city to treat those who were addicted to drugs and wanted to get rid of their addiction. Not only did they not let the patients' families pay, they also Rewards of money were given to the families of patients who took the initiative to treat them. I heard that nearly a hundred people were admitted and treated in just half a day, and the person who treated them in the hospital camp was the imperial doctor from the palace."

Zhou Liang was very surprised when he said that. Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but glance at Cheng Yunzhi worriedly. Cheng Yunzhi looked ordinary and said in appreciation: "I didn't expect the Yamen to move so fast."

Bao Ruoyou whispered: "Father, the Commander-in-Chief has the final say on this matter. Jing Zhaoyin and the patrol battalion are just cooperating."

Cheng Yunzhi glanced at Bo Ruoyou for a moment, knowing that Bo Ruoyou was asking for credit for Huo Weilou, he couldn't help but snorted, "I know it's the credit of Marquis Wu Zhao. He has always acted vigorously and resolutely. Leave this matter to him. I think he can do it." Control it in time, but you said this thing is already prevalent in the southwest? I don’t know what’s going on there.”

Bo Ruoyou thought about this and shook his head, "The southwest area is far away from the capital. I'm afraid the wealthy gentry are still using this thing to make profits, and I don't know if the court will care about it."

"It's probably beyond our reach." Cheng Yunzhi sighed.

Bo Ruoyou also felt this way. Thinking that a hospital camp had been set up in the capital and the Imperial Hospital was sparing no effort, she couldn't help but place a lot of hope on it. If an antidote could be devised within three or two days, the people who were poisoned this time would be safe. The people can escape from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible.

When he rested that night, Bo Ruoyou thought about Song Yu's death again.

Song Yu met Bo Jingqian on the day of the accident, and before she died, she even invited the two of them into the house. It happened that these two people were closely involved with the golden ointment, even if she had not discovered the beauty's smile, even if she had not hired Lan Yue Huo Weilou's case is not abnormal like Hu Changqing's. As long as Huo Weilou follows these two people and digs deeper, he will eventually trace the properties under their names. In a month or two at most, the troubles caused by gold paste will become more and more common in the capital. If there are too many, sooner or later it will attract the attention of the government.

Bao Ruoyou's sleepiness dissipated when he thought of this. Song Yu's color was most likely related to the gold ointment. As the Minister of Household Affairs, he could have realized that the gold ointment was poisoning the people, so he offended the people behind the scenes. Interests?

What's more important is that his boots were stained with the seeds of Beauty's Smile. After leaving Sanqing Temple that day, he must have gone to a place related to Beauty's Smile...

Having this thought, Bao Ruoyou suddenly opened his eyes. Maybe it's not related to the beauty's smile, but to the golden ointment?

She must have had a plan in mind, and she was busy trying to calm herself down to sleep.

It was already light when they woke up the next day. After washing up, Bo Ruoyou ordered Zhou Liang to prepare the bicycle frame so that they could have breakfast. However, they were startled by a burst of piercing crying, which tore apart the carriage. The heart-breaking sound came from the courtyard next to them. Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou listened for a moment and couldn't help but go out to take a look.

The streets and alleys in the early morning were quiet and there were few people around. However, the door of Huang's house next door was wide open. The father and daughter had been back to Beijing for more than two months. Cheng Yun had a friendly and polite nature. He walked back and forth several times and interacted with the people around him. Two or three families are already familiar with each other.

This Huang family is also considered a scholarly family, but the family is in decline. Now they are struggling to support themselves. They have a couple with three or five servants, and a son who is the same age as Bo Ruoyou. The couple's hopes are all in this son. , I just hope that he can get a good name in the examination.

Cheng Yunzhi has met Mr. Huang several times. He is a handsome and very polite boy. Mr. Huang and his wife also said that he is very filial, so Cheng Yunzhi also admires this young man. However, at this moment, he was crying harshly. The sound came from this young master Huang.

Inside the wide open door, Mr. Huang pulled Young Master Huang hard, while Mrs. Huang covered her face and cried, but Young Master Huang refused to obey, holding tightly to the iron ring on the door, for fear that they would send him away.

Cheng Yunzhi glanced at it twice and couldn't help but step forward, "Brother Huang, what's going on?"

Master Huang looked dejected, glanced at Young Master Huang with hatred, and said helplessly: "Let Brother Cheng laugh, Lin'er... was poisoned by the golden ointment. We only found out when there was a commotion in the city the day before yesterday. He is now deeply poisoned and always gets sick. Earlier, there was some gold ointment at home for him to relieve his pain, but now all the places selling gold ointment in the capital are strictly inspected, and he feels uncomfortable, and we don't want him to touch that thing again. , so I thought of simply sending her to a hospital camp run by the government."

"This poison is so stubborn that ordinary doctors can't cure it. I heard that there is a doctor from the imperial hospital there. If I let him stay at home like this, I can only watch him become seriously ill..."

Cheng Yunzhi realized that Huang Lin had not seen him for a few days. He had already lost a lot of weight. His face was gray and his eyes were unfocused. He really looked like an addict. He was crying with tears all over his face. "Father, mother, don't give me away." When I go there, it’s run by the Yamen. I don’t want to go. I still want to study and test for merit. I can bear it, I can’t bear it..."

Mrs. Huang said with red eyes: "You were so frightened by the poisonous hair last night. We're just afraid that if this goes on, you won't be able to survive. Lin'er, it won't be a big deal what the Yamen will do. It's not you who committed the crime."

Huang Lin couldn't help shaking his head, but he just didn't want to go. Seeing how pitiful he was crying, Cheng Yunzhi couldn't help but feel sympathy, "Brother Huang, the child really doesn't want to go, why not think of other ways? He was poisoned last night , and then came over?"

Master Huang said with a bitter face: "He came here with his hands and feet tied, and he almost bit off his tongue and wanted to die. You said it is like this. No matter how cruel we are, we have to find a way to detoxify him and eliminate his addiction."

He sighed and added: "In the hospital camp run by the yamen, it is said that you cannot come out within a month after entering, and you have to be registered. No one knows how the government will deal with the purchase of gold ointment. He is afraid that the yamen will pursue him. I don’t want to go even if I live or die.”

Cheng Yunzhi didn't know much about this. When he went to see Zhou Liang, Zhou Liang also shook his head.

At this time, Huang Lin suddenly said: "If my father and mother want to send me away, it would be better to let me really die——"

He was already pulling on the door knocker. After saying this, he actually hit the door panel with his head. There was a loud "bang". Mr. Huang and his wife screamed in surprise. The next moment, Huang Lin collapsed with blood on his forehead. After a while, everyone's expressions changed in fright due to this incident. Mrs. Huang's eyesight went dark and she almost fell over. Mr. Huang also panicked.

Cheng Yunzhi said hurriedly: "Hurry and help the person into the house."

The attendants of the Huang family hurried forward, Zhou Liang also went up to help, Cheng Yunzhi followed worriedly, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly supported him, and when they entered the Huang family, they saw that Huang Lin was being carried by everyone without any signs of death. He could only feel the blood flowing heavily on his forehead, and it was dripping down. Mr. Huang's steps were unsteady in a hurry, and he ordered, "Quick, go and call the doctor -"

A servant responded and hurriedly went out. Looking at Huang Lin, whose forehead was bleeding, Mrs. Huang covered her face and cried bitterly, "What kind of evil has this done, Lin'er, mother won't send you away, don't do it." Away from mother..."

Seeing the chaos in the scene, Cheng Yunzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me show him first."

The Huang family didn't know that Cheng Yunzhi had medical skills. Now that Huang Lin was in danger, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to save Huang Lin when the doctor came, so they immediately asked Cheng Yunzhi to help look at his injuries.

Bao Ruoyou didn't expect to see such a scene again so early in the morning, and she hated the golden ointment even more. She helped Cheng Yunzhi and quickly stopped Huang Lin's bleeding. Although the injury was serious this time, it was not No life was injured, which was considered a great blessing among misfortunes. After half an hour, the servant invited another doctor. Cheng Yunzhi retired after his work, and then took Bo Ruoyou home.

The sun was already high in the sky at this moment, and both father and daughter felt a little sad when they saw this tragic situation. Bo Ruoyou stayed with Cheng Yunzhi for a moment, and then took Zhou Liang out as soon as possible.

Bao Ruoyou first took Zhou Liang to Sanqing Temple. When she arrived at the temple, she could not enter, and then walked along the nearby market to the lively places. Since the city was strictly inspecting gold ointment these two days, anyone selling it would All the gold ointment shops were closed. All Bao Ruoyou had to do was look for a shop in a good location that was not yet open in a busy area, and ask around to find out the details.

She searched all the way, but because Sanqing Temple was remote, it took half an hour to find a shop selling gold ointment. She secretly remembered it in her heart, and walked along the market towards the East Market, getting closer to the East Market. , the more shops were inspected, so it was beyond her power alone. Seeing the sun setting in the west, Bo Ruoyou decided to go to the Yamen.

She originally thought that Huo Weilou might be at the Yamen, but when she arrived at the Yamen and asked, she found out that Huo Weilou had left before noon and was heading to the hospital camp in the south of the city. She was certain and found Wu Xiang.

Now that the patrol battalion is helping, the people in the yamen are much more relaxed. Wu Xiang is helping the clerks compile the roster. When he sees Bo Ruoyou coming, he is a little surprised that she came to the yamen today to answer the question.

When Bo Ruoyou saw that the official document in his hand was exactly what she was looking for, she immediately explained her purpose.

Hearing that she wanted to see which shops in the city were selling gold ointment, Wu Xiang was a little suspicious, but did not stop him. He directly showed her the president's list, because there was a lot of movement in the patrol camp, which ones It is already known that the shop bought gold ointment, but the yamen's list is more detailed.

" The location of the tea shop here is excellent, whose shop is it?"

Wu Xiang looked at it and raised his eyebrows, "As you can see, this shop is owned by the cousin of Wei Shu, the Minister of Household Affairs. This inspection took some effort."

The shop of Wei Shangshu’s cousin?

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but ask: "Is it related to Wei Shangshu?"

Wu Xiang smiled when he heard this, "If it is not true, under the banner of the Wei family, it is impossible not to have it. But if it is true, our people have not found anything. This shop has everything. It's very clean. This time I sold the gold paste and got it from another wealthy gentleman."

The scene she saw riding horses in the busy city that day resurfaced in Bo Ruoyou's mind. She thought about it carefully for a moment, and then looked at the location of the shop. She frowned slightly, and suddenly a thought came into her heart. Vague and strange thoughts.
