Chapter 126 Six Flowers Flying 22

Bo Ruoyou didn't see Huo Weilou for the next few days. It was already the end of April. Amidst the chirping of cicadas, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Bo Ruoyou thought about Cheng Yunzhi's poor health, so he went to the Hou Mansion. The time was changed to early morning.

She thought she might meet Huo Weilou in the early morning, but Huo Weilou went out of the city on errands and didn't return for many days. As a result, she didn't see him for almost half a month. The only good thing was that Huo Qinglou The onset of Hong's drug addiction is getting slower and slower.

In the early morning of this day, the father and daughter braved the drizzle and entered the door of the Hou Mansion. Eunuch Fu had been waiting for him for a long time. After welcoming the two into the guest courtyard, he said with a sigh on his face: "Mr. Cheng, you I don’t know how difficult it was, but the prince actually slept soundly last night. It has been almost a month since he was brought here by the Marquis, and this is the first time he has done so."

Eunuch Fu took close care of Huo Qinghong every day. He knew what was good and what was bad about him. Naturally, he was even more grateful to Cheng Yunzhi. Cheng Yunzhi smiled gently and said, "If you keep at it, things will get better. We are neighbors. The child has only had an attack every three or four days now. He is fine reading and practicing calligraphy on weekdays. He looks just like usual. The prince's poison is deeper and slower."

After entering the Nuan Pavilion, they saw Huo Qinghong leaning on the couch, staring blankly at the drizzle outside the window. When he heard the movement, his eyelashes trembled, but he did not look at them. Over the past ten days, , he is always so taciturn.

Cheng Yunzhi stepped forward to ask for his pulse. Huo Qinghong was very cooperative, but he was still silent and silent. Cheng Yunzhi didn't mind. After seeing the situation, he started to apply the acupuncture. While applying the acupuncture, Mr. Fu and Bo Ruoyou Waiting in the hall, Eunuch Fu sighed, "Everyone is like this. The Duke and his wife came together two days ago and didn't talk much. I wonder if the poison of the golden ointment poisoned the prince's brain. Mr. Cheng said that this poison hurts the brain."

Bao Ruoyou thought thoughtfully for a moment, "It's only getting better now, father-in-law, don't worry, the prince has never suffered much before, and now that he is suffering, it is normal for his mood to change. And he is not feeling well, so naturally he can't care about it. On to other things. I have read the documents recorded by the yamen. Those who were anointed with gold for more than a month, even though they were addicted to drugs, were still conscious before the poison took hold, so my father-in-law can rest assured for the time being."

Eunuch Fu sighed, his eyes were full of worry, he couldn't be so easy to rest assured.

After the acupuncture was completed, Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to say goodbye. When Eunuch Fu saw her off, he said, "Master Hou is afraid that he will be back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This time he went to the old residence of the Wei family in Qinshui County. If everything goes well, the case can be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for review and finalization. There are many people involved this time, and we don’t know how long the trial will last."

As he listened, Bo Ruoyou felt that everything Huo Weilou had to do must be very complicated, and it was hard to ask too many questions. He just remembered that Huo Weilou was about to come back and got into the carriage with Cheng Yun. On the way, Cheng Yunzhi talked about the illness in the city, and the illness in the south of the city. Although there is always an imperial doctor in the camp, the Taiyuan Hospital has not formulated an antidote strategy at the moment. It is said that all the government officials in the hospital camp are in dire straits.

Bao Ruoyou had the idea of ​​going to the Yamen for a while. When he arrived at the door of his house, Cheng Yun got off the carriage, and Zhou Liang drove to the Yamen again. In the past few days, she had gone to the Yamen twice to answer questions. There is no doubt that the case has not gone away day by day, but now I want to ask what the situation is in the city, and if I want to tell Cheng Yunzhi's method to the Taiyuan Hospital, it is quite unchanged. First of all, Cheng Yunzhi's fragrant pills vary from person to person. , Secondly, if Cheng Yunzhi is like this, not many people can treat diseases with acupuncture.

After half an hour of walking, the carriage stopped outside the yamen. As soon as Bo Ruoyou entered the yamen gate, he saw Wu Xiang sitting on the steps of the duty room covered in blood. Hou Yang brought a basin of water. Wu Xiang grinned and washed the blood on his body and hands. Bo Ruoyou was startled and stepped forward quickly, "Captain, what's going on? Are you injured?"

Wu Xiang was overjoyed at first when he saw her, and then put on a wry smile, "I wasn't injured, but I saved someone in the morning. In a family in the south of the city, the eldest son took gold ointment and hallucinated himself. My father regarded him as an old enemy from his early years, and then he took a knife to chop his father, and then held his father hostage and stood on the bridge, killing anyone who dared to come close and jumping into the river."

Wu Xiang’s hands were washed, but his clothes were still full of blood. He sighed, “His father lost too much blood and was already dead when he was rescued——”

Bo Ruoyou felt a chill in his heart, "Why didn't you send the person to the hospital camp?"

Wu Xiang sighed again, "It was probably because he didn't trust the government office and was reluctant to give it away. He always felt that it would be better to stay at home, so something happened. The chaos in the past two days was all because of the gold ointment." Those who got up were those who stabbed people when they were poisoned, those who jumped off buildings, those who mutilated themselves and hit the wall, those who ran around like crazy and others were lost. It was so hard for us to run away. We had just sent extra personnel to the hospital camp a few days ago, because those people were poisoned. Get up, unless you are shackled, something could easily go wrong."

Wu Xiang patted his robe and stood up, "Why are you here today?"

Bo Ruoyou said hurriedly: "I'm here to see if there's anyone who can help. I'd like to ask if there's any antidote in the hospital camp."

Wu Xiang pouted, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "What antidote? The Taiyuan Hospital is also in a state of chaos and is unwilling to go to the hospital camp. The doctors in the palace are also pampered and will only give Noble people, looking at common diseases, no one dares to say that they can cure this drug addiction, and then they push it back and forth, just dragging the word, hehe, no one dares to take the blame now, the daily dispatch One or two people went to ask about the symptoms and showed off with pulse records, but they still didn't know how to detoxify. Both us adults and General Xu of the patrol camp were a little helpless. If this continues, this hospital camp will not be able to continue."

Bo Ruoyou never expected that there would be no improvement in the Chengnan Hospital Camp. There are so many patients and there are so many cases for research. It stands to reason that the symptoms of drug addiction can be discovered and then controlled. Healing is the solution.

Wu Xiang added: "Only the one who investigated the gold paste was very neat. The Marquis took the lead with the direct envoys, and all the Yamen and the subordinates ordered them to do it. In just half a month, the gold paste seized was piled up in the patrol camp. In a large courtyard, there are only a few people who secretly hide gold paste in the city. No one dares to sell it anymore. A few days ago, the Marquis ordered the Ministry of Punishment to formulate laws and regulations. I am afraid that there will be an official order in two days. , these errands were done with great exertion, and there were people above who were pressing down, so the people below did not dare to neglect, but the doctors could not think of a way to detoxify, even if a knife was placed on the neck, there was nothing they could do."

Bao Ruoyou understood best. She thought for a while, "Maybe you can let me see the medication records sent from the hospital camp? I want to copy a copy and take it home. My adoptive father is also a doctor. I want to show him."

Wu Xiang felt that Bo Ruoyou wanted to do her part to detoxify, but she didn't have high hopes, so she didn't ask her in detail and took her straight to the back hall. Once inside, she saw the decorations in the hall. There are many account books and books, and several clerks are copying documents.

Wu Xiang flipped through it, handed her a copy, and mocked: "Look, this was sent the day before yesterday. It was said that His Majesty was concerned and wanted to report the daily progress, but do you think His Majesty has any Haven’t you seen what we worked so hard to write?”

Bao Ruoyou glanced outside and made a silent gesture. Wu Xiang snorted: "Don't worry, I'm just here to talk. I've been doing these vain things all day long, but there's been no one." Useful everywhere."

Bao Ruoyou shook his head helplessly and just went to look at the records. When he remembered that there were still some useful things, he found a table and copied them. When Wu Xiang saw this, he asked her to stay here while he went to find some clothes to change into.

Bo Ruoyou was copying carefully. As he was copying, the light in front of his eyes was suddenly blocked. Bo Ruoyou thought it was Wu Xiang who had come back, and said without raising his head: "I'm afraid I have to copy a few more. That’s good——”

Someone chuckled and said, "Second sister, are you studying the method of using gold ointment to poison your forehead?"

Bao Ruoyou paused with her pen tip and quickly raised her eyes. Sure enough, she saw Lin Zhao at a glance. She was a little surprised, "Mr. Lin?"

Lin Zhao was used to her stubbornness in not changing her title. She stood up again and greeted her very politely, "Why did Mr. Lin come to the Yamen?"

Lin Zhao scanned the pulse record she had written, "I came here also for the gold ointment. There has been chaos in the Household Department recently, and this time the hospital camp needs a Household Assistant Manager, so I was temporarily transferred to the Household Department to help. ."

The emperor's ministers who came out of the Hanlin Academy were originally going to join the Sixth Ministry, but now it was nothing for Lin Zhao to join the Household Department in advance. She also knew the turmoil in the Household Department, so it was not surprising. She nodded and Wu Xiang After leaving and returning, he saw Lin Zhao standing in front of Bo Ruoyou and immediately said: "Master Xiao Lin, the official document you want has been prepared."

After saying that, he led Lin Zhao to the left side of the back hall. Lin Zhao said: "You will be a moment later." After saying that, he left quickly. After a while, he walked out with a few booklets. Bo Ruoyou came forward and said, "Second sister, there has been some unrest in the city recently. How are you and Uncle Cheng doing?"

Bo Ruoyou put away the pages of the pulse report he had copied and said, "Thank you for your concern. We are fine."

Lin Zhao asked again: "Are these pulse records going to be taken back to Uncle Cheng?"

Bo Ruoyou responded and saw that he was holding an official document and seemed to be leaving the government office, so he couldn't help but said: "If Mr. Lin has something to do, go ahead and do it. Don't delay the mission."

Lin Zhao was about to speak but hesitated for a moment, "Then I will visit you tomorrow." After saying this, he turned and walked out.

Wu Xiang watched from the sidelines and clicked his tongue without saying anything else.

Bao Ruoyou continued to copy the pulse case, copying four or five pages. When he saw the sun setting, he left the Yamen and returned home.

Cheng Yunzhi shook his head when he saw the pulse records and the medication, "That's all for the pulse records. The medication is too mild and conservative, and they obviously don't dare to take risks. The gold ointment is so toxic and stubborn, but they don't dare to use strong medicine. Where can it be effective?"

Bo Ruoyou rolled his eyes, "The arrester said the same thing. The doctors at the Tai Hospital did not dare to take responsibility this time. They were pushing back and forth, and they were all dragging their feet. If this continues, the people in the city will Patients either get into trouble or suffer physical injuries and die, which is really heart-wrenching."

Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "The Imperial Hospital has become more and more utilitarian in recent years, and everyone is as timid as a mouse."

Bo Ruoyou said softly: "If my grandfather had been in power, it would definitely not be like this."

Cheng Yunzhi looked suffocated, and sighed deeply for a moment, "It's a pity that the Cheng family has long since ceased to exist. The emperor once had only courtiers, let alone a small imperial hospital. They only suffered from the people who had high hopes for them."

Bao Ruoyou looked at Cheng Yunzhi's expression carefully and saw a lot of resentment on his face, so he continued: "My adoptive father's method is probably the only one that can slow down the effect at the moment. Has my adoptive father ever thought about using this method?" Push it forward?"

Cheng Yunzhi was slightly stunned, but turned to look out the window, "I never hide it secretly. Master Xiao Ming also knows this method. If he is interested, it will not be difficult to tell his father and then ask the imperial doctor to imitate it. ”

Bao Ruoyou shook his head, "Even if Mr. Ming knows this, I'm afraid he won't use the method that his adoptive father came up with to compete for credit. In addition, others may not be able to figure out this method because they are not completely sure about it. I don’t dare to activate it, but my adoptive father is different.”

Cheng Yunzhi did not speak for a while, but his eyes were deep and ethereal, as if he was recalling old things. Bo Ruoyou said again: "Has your adoptive father ever thought that the serious crimes committed by the Cheng family back then were really unjust? If he could one day replace the Cheng family Ordinary, return the honor of the Cheng family..."

Cheng Yunzhi looked at Bo Ruoyou. She was not involved in the court, and she heard about what happened back then from his mouth. How dare she open her mouth to vindicate her case? After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Yunzhi asked: "Did the Marquis say this to you?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Bo Ruoyou had no choice but to admit it. Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "How could it be that easy?"

Bo Ruoyou's eyes lit up. Cheng Yunzhi's tone was not objectionable. He had obviously had this thought, but it was not easy, so he had never seriously considered it. Bo Ruoyou said, "Keru Ruo's adopted father. If the detoxification method is really effective, everything will be different."

Cheng Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, "Let my adoptive father think about it."

Bo Ruoyou responded quickly.

……

Lin Zhao returned from the Yamen. As soon as he walked to the door of the house, he saw two carriages parked outside the door. He recognized them as Bo's carriages at a glance and hurriedly walked in. When he arrived at the main courtyard, sure enough, Seeing Bo Yixuan's father and son, and Bo Yixian's mother and daughter, Mrs. Hu was quite warm to see him come back. When Lin Zhao saw the ceremony, Lin Huai asked him to take Bo Yixian's brother and sister to the flower hall. Obviously the elders wanted to talk privately.

The three of them arrived at the flower hall. Bo Yixian looked haggard. Bo Yixuan couldn't help but ask Lin Zhao, "Is it true that my uncle can't be saved this time?"

Bo Yixian looked at Lin Zhao with a pale face. Lin Zhao couldn't bear it, "What did my father say?"

Bo Yixuan sighed, "The Minister said he was not sure."

Lin Zhao also said: "Now the case is still in the direct investigation department. After they have investigated clearly and determined who can be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, the details of the case will be in the hands of my father. Therefore, my father said He's not sure it's the truth."

Bo Yixuan frowned, "You don't even know about it, so you can only go to Wu Zhaohou?"

Lin Zhao shook his head, "Wu Zhaohou, you don't have to think about it. The Marquis has always been fair in dealing with things. What's more, you Bo family and Wu Zhaohou are not familiar with each other. He even gave me my father's face."

Bo Yixian said at this time: "It is true that we don't know Wu Zhaohou, but...my second sister is very familiar with Wu Zhaohou."

Hearing this, Lin Zhao didn’t want to go anywhere else. He frowned and said, “Did you go to find her? She was only helping Mr. Hou with his autopsy and did not have that much power. If he displeased Mr. Hou, she would be worried. It’s unaffordable.”

Bo Yixian smiled bitterly, "I did go to her house once, but she didn't seem to take my father's affairs to heart. Also, she has been away from the capital these years and has no relationship with us. It's really inappropriate to ask her to help. It should."

Bo Yixuan hesitated when he heard the words, but thinking about Wei's previous explanation, he didn't say anything.

Bo Yixian looked at him for a moment, seeming a little surprised that Bo Yixuan didn't speak for her, so she continued: "I didn't think of troubling her at first, but I saw that the Marquis treated her very kindly before at Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion. , so I thought that if she opened her mouth, she could ask if she was safe or in danger, but I didn’t expect that she was unwilling to help."

If it was just a casual mention before, trying to make Lin Zhao think differently, then her words now made the hint even more obvious. Lin Zhao frowned, "Because she was good at autopsy, the Marquis treated her so well." She has a green eye, and it is said that she is appreciated by official business." After a pause, he reassured: "I met her at the Marquis Mansion earlier, and I wanted to ask about this matter, but the Marquis is a person who distinguishes between public and private matters, and she followed the Marquis. I’m a bad person, so it’s right to be cautious.”

Bo Yixian's eyes turned red, "But after all, she is just a Bo family member. She is not willing to help even a little bit, which is really chilling."

At the beginning, they said very considerately that Bo Ruoyou didn't grow up in the capital, so they shouldn't go looking for her. But now the more he said it, the more resentful he said it. Lin Zhao was a little confused for a moment. Is she a strange person or not? Not weird?

However, seeing her eyes red, he had no choice but to say: "There is nothing we can do about it right now. The civil and military officials of the whole dynasty are waiting for His Majesty and the Marquis's wishes. Even though Shibo will be affected this time, he will not be punished to death. ."

Bo Yixian's eyes turned redder, "Does Brother Zhao mean that his father will definitely be deprived of his official position this time?"

Bo Jingqian is the backbone of the Bo family. If he is convicted and loses his official position, or even goes to jail, wouldn't it be a big loss for the Bo family? How can they dare to say that they belong to a distinguished family in the future?

At this point, Lin Zhao sighed, "It's possible."

Bo Yixian felt his eyes go dark and almost couldn't stand still. Lin Zhao sighed again, "There are many officials imprisoned this time. It is impossible to be gentle. Everyone is a soldier. You have been running for this month. You should be already here." I guessed a little bit, but don’t worry, both father and I will protect Shibo, at least we won’t let unwarranted dirty water be poured on him."

Lin Zhao's assurance was considered sincere, but Bo Yixian's heart felt like it was fried when she thought that the Bo family would decline and even become a criminal clan. She raised her eyes to look at Lin Zhao. If that was really the case, then she would become even more worried. Not worthy of Lin Zhao.

"Brother Zhao, is there really nothing you can do?"

Lin Zhao looked at Bo Yixuan, "If you don't believe it, just ask Yixuan. This matter has already been brought before His Majesty, not to mention that there are many connections behind it."

Bo Yixuan is a scholar after all, and has more knowledge than Bo Yixian. He is not good-looking, but he also knows that it is not the Lin family who can turn the tide in this matter. "Sister, please don't embarrass Lin Zhao. This matter... is really difficult for everyone." Can't help."

Bo Yixian narrowed her eyes and said bitterly: "Those who can help are just unwilling to help."

Lin Zhao smiled bitterly, "Yixian, my father and I are really serious about this matter."

"Brother Zhao, I'm not talking about you...I...I'm talking about the second sister." Bo Yixian's eyes flashed, and she said in a troubled manner: "That day outside Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion, I saw that Hou I have a close relationship with her. She is a little girl, but she can be appreciated by the Marquis. Even though she can do autopsies, can't a man like Wu Zhaohou find a man who can do autopsies?"

Bo Yixuan's expression changed when he heard this. He glanced at Lin Zhao and said hurriedly: "Sister, don't talk nonsense."

Although Bo Yixian had said this to him, Lin Zhao had not married her yet and was still a foreigner. Telling Lin Zhao about this would also damage the reputation of the Bo family. He really didn't expect that Bo Yixian would marry her. This mouth.

Lin Zhao frowned even more, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that the Marquis has other thoughts about...his second sister?"

At this moment, Lin Zhao didn't know whether he should go back to protect Huo Weilou or Bo Ruoyou. He said with an unhappy face: "Master Hou distinguishes between public and private matters, it's not what you think. My second sister's autopsy skills are also quite good." Gao Ming, she has gained the trust of the Marquis, so the Marquis will naturally use her. I have known the Marquis for many years, and I personally saw my second sister helping him solve the case in Luozhou. Don’t talk about them like that."

Bo Yixian didn't know what she was thinking. She was anxious and desperate. She also noticed that Lin Zhao was somewhat protective of Bao Ruoyou, so she wanted to tell Lin Zhao more and more about it. However, she didn't expect that Lin Zhao actually She believed those two people so categorically that she couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "But that's what I saw with my own eyes. I saw with my own eyes that Marquis Wu Zhao helped his second sister get into the carriage. Marquis Wu Zhao was so aloof, and his second sister was so beautiful." , what Wei Jun also saw that day was not that I slandered them."

Lin Zhao was speechless for a moment. What Bo Yixian said was so true, and he also said that Wei Jun had also seen it. It was not like he was lying. Based on his understanding, how could Huo Weilou be a person who would show mercy to others? It's almost enough to say that Huo Qinghong made this trip.

Does Huo Weilou really have other thoughts about Bao Ruoyou?

Lin Zhao's heart trembled slightly. If this was the case, how could Bo Ruoyou resist?

"It's just a support. They met each other in Qingzhou, and later returned to Beijing together, and they are quite familiar with each other. You can just talk about it in front of me, but you shouldn't mention this to others." He said forcefully.

Bo Yixian responded hurriedly, "Of course I know."

Seeing Lin Zhao's look, Bo Yixian knew that he believed what she said. She felt inexplicably relieved and said bitterly: "If something happens in our house this time, I'm afraid Uncle Lin and Brother Zhao will also be criticized. , it’s all us who have caused you trouble. If my father is really convicted later, I’m afraid it will affect Uncle Lin’s career... Fortunately, we haven’t set a wedding date yet.”

She looked at Lin Zhao apologetically, and it took Lin Zhao a moment to understand what she meant, "Don't say that, your marriage has been decided a long time ago, and there will be no changes because of this." ."

This kind of attitude was what Bo Yixian wanted to see, but these words made her quite uneasy. However, the words had reached this point, which was the most direct test, and she could not make Lin Zhao make other promises.

When Mrs. Bo and others left the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Chu sighed, "Who would have thought that his hands are really dirty? If he had his way, you could still fish him out of this muddy water, but now he If we can’t pick it off ourselves, what else can we do?”

Lin Huai shook his head helplessly, "No wonder he came to look for me several times not long after the Qinshui County Weicang incident happened. He was very worried in his words. I just thought he was worried that it would affect him, but he didn't really want to accept it. Money."

Lin Zhao was silent as he listened. Mrs. Chu glanced at him and said helplessly: "If I had known this, we might as well have..."

Lin Huai smiled bitterly but did not answer.

On the afternoon of the second day, Lin Zhao brought gifts to visit Cheng's house.
