Chapter 200 Ten Flowers 14 (Overhaul)
Bao Ruoyou hurriedly arrived at Wu Zhaohou Mansion.
Eunuch Fu came out to greet him, "Youyou, the Marquis has not returned to the palace yet. Are you in a hurry?"
Bao Ruoyou's expression was filled with anxiety, and she nodded, "It's okay that the Marquis is gone. Where is the prince now? My father-in-law may have found the prince here. I have something to ask the prince."
Eunuch Fu never expected that the person Bao Ruoyou was looking for in a hurry was Huo Qinghong. He thought for a while and said, "The prince is either at the Taichang Temple Yamen or the Duke's Mansion. Don't worry, I'll find someone. Go ask."
Bo Ruoyou nodded, and Eunuch Fu went to order the servants of the Hou Mansion. Fortunately, the guards were familiar with Huo Qinghong's whereabouts and acted neatly. Only half an hour later, Huo Qinghong appeared at the Hou Mansion with a look of doubt on his face. Mansion.
"Youyou, are you looking for me?" Huo Qinghong entered the hall door, took off his cloak, and quickly took the hot tea handed over by Eunuch Fu to warm his hands.
Bo Ruoyou said casually: "Before the Buddha's birthday in Xiangguo Temple, the prince built a dojo in the south of the city to pray for rain, right?"
Huo Qinghong took a sip of hot tea, but he didn't expect that Bo Ruoyou was asking about this, "Yes."
"I remember that the Crown Prince mentioned that the Taichang Temple was the site of Taichang Temple, which united various lords and families. Could the Crown Prince tell you who were present that day?"
Huo Qinghong was a little confused, but Bo Ruoyou looked serious, and he was very cooperative, "That day... there were the eldest son of the Changning Hou family, the second master of the Zhongqin family, and the third son of the Yongning Hou family. There is a loyal and brave uncle, a loyal and righteous uncle——"
"Is there still Liu Yan, the third son of the Liu family?"
Huo Qinghong's eyes lit up, "How did you know? He is indeed there!"
What Bo Ruoyou wanted to ask was not Liu Yan, "A few days ago, I was doing rites for my parents at Xiangguo Temple, and I met Mr. Liu. He said, Prince, you were at the dojo in the south of the city, and you mentioned that I solved the case in the Yamen. Do you remember what the prince said that day?"
Huo Qinghong's expression changed slightly, and the teacup in his hand was a little hot. He quickly put down the teacup and sat up straighter, "When you said it like that, I seemed to have mentioned that you broke the Zhao family class that day. It’s an old case, I... I seem to have mentioned it before, talking about the old case of Gui Lan’s family, maybe you can solve it too.”
" Those clan members knew that you were engaged to your eldest brother, so they all came forward to inquire about it. They also heard that you were helping in the Yamen, and there were many questions in your words. Regarding Gui Lan’s old case, I just want to say that you solved the case like a god, maybe you can even catch the person who harmed Gui Lan..."
The more he spoke, the more he felt guilty, "Did I say something bad?"
Bao Ruoyou is not sure now, so he only said tactfully: "Li Shen's crime was very sudden. The murderer must have known that there was a possibility that the murder would be exposed, so he arranged it."
Huo Qinghong froze, "I..."
"Your Majesty, don't think too much. I don't blame you for this. The murderer has a guilty conscience and will definitely pay attention to the Yamen's movements. Anyone who knows that the Yamen has doubts about Mr. Ming's kidnapping case will probably do something. It's just a matter of time."
This remark comforted Huo Qinghong, and he rolled his eyes, "So... the murderer is most likely someone who was at the dojo that day?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "The prince had better write a list."
Huo Qinghong looked solemn, not daring to be rude, and hurriedly asked Eunuch Fu to find paper and pen. Two months had passed in the dojo, so he was afraid of making mistakes, so he thought very carefully. Bo Ruoyou stood aside and looked at him. After writing down more than a dozen names, suddenly, when she saw a certain name appear, her eyes narrowed slightly.
She looked solemn and paced back and forth in the hall. After a while, Huo Qinghong stopped writing, "I've finished writing, look -"
Bao Ruoyou took the list and read it carefully from beginning to end, and then asked: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that they listened to you that day, but did anyone ask you in detail?"
Huo Qinghong thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, at that time I was just trying to silence them. Later, they felt that they couldn't hold it in their face, and they didn't dare to accuse you openly, so naturally they didn't dare to say anything."
Bao Ruoyou pursed her lips tightly and did not answer any more words. Huo Qinghong couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "What's wrong? But it's different from what you guessed?"
Bao Ruoyou shook his head and said with relief: "Your Majesty, don't worry. You don't have to worry about the next thing. I'll wait for the Marquis to come back."
Huo Qinghong groaned, still a little unsure, and the two waited in the hall for half an hour before Huo Weilou returned to the Hou Mansion with a chill all over.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard the attendant report that Bo Ruoyou had arrived at the mansion, and he couldn't help but walk faster.
When they entered the main hall, they saw that Bo Ruoyou and Huo Qinghong were both frowning, and they were even more surprised, "What happened?"
Bao Ruoyou stood up and came over to greet him, and said: "Master Hou, didn't we know why the murderer asked Li Shen to come out to take the blame last night?" She handed over the list in her hand, "After returning home, I remembered something The matter has been decided by finding the prince just now."
Huo Weilou took the list, and Bo Ruoyou told the story of meeting Liu Yan that day, and said, "I just asked the prince, he did mention that I might be able to solve the case of the prince, and there were dozens of people present. It was precisely because I heard this that I felt a sense of crisis. This dojo was in mid-October, and Li Shen killed people on the twelfth day of the winter lunar month. It was nearly a month before and after. The murderer only found Li Shen to take the blame, but Li Shen did not There is no way to find a child whose birth date is Sanyang, so there is such an omission."
After Bao Ruoyou finished speaking in one breath, Huo Weilou's expression became serious, and Huo Qinghong became more and more nervous, "Brother, I——"
Huo Weilou waved his hand, "I don't blame you this time."
Huo Qinghong finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Huo Weilou went to sit down at the main table. While looking at the list, he said: "Tell me more about the situation that day. Don't miss anything."
Huo Qinghong took a deep breath. Starting from the initial greetings in the dojo that day, he looked more cautious than ever before. He paused to think about it after saying a sentence, and almost restored the scene that day. When Huo Weilou heard the strange expressions of several old clan members, Bao Ruoyou questioned, suddenly frowned, and hurriedly looked at Bao Ruoyou's expression. Bao Ruoyou smiled at him and didn't take it seriously.
It took half a cup of tea before Huo Qinghong finished reciting, "That's it. After I finished speaking, they also knew that Youyou was the county lord personally appointed by His Majesty. They were probably afraid that his eldest brother would know and did not dare to show his face. After being criticized, he started talking about something else with some annoyance."
Bao Ruoyou looked at Huo Weilou, "I just listened to the questions. It seems that no one is deliberately trying to find out. I can't tell anyone is unusual."
Huo Weilou said in a deep voice: "There were a lot of people at that time, so the murderer must have been hiding inconspicuously in the crowd. If he talks too much, he will make mistakes. Based on the character of the murderer, he will never be the one who speaks quickly."
He looked at the list again, "Not all the people here are involved with Feiyun Temple. Some of them are in court, and they are only in vain."
He stood up and took Bao Ruoyou to the study. Huo Qinghong watched and followed silently.
After returning to the study, Huo Weilou took out the list of pilgrims to Feiyun Temple that had been investigated by the yamen. These pilgrims had worshiped in Feiyun Temple for at least two years. After a brief comparison, he quickly focused his attention on above the three.
"Unsurprisingly, Uncle Zhongyi was also at the dojo that day. In addition, there are two other people in the dojo who also worshiped at Feiyun Temple. They have a close relationship with Feiyun Temple."
Bao Ruoyou walked to Huo Weilou and clicked on the list with his fingertips.
She was not familiar with the royal family members in the capital, but she knew the two people named by Huo Weilou.
"Cao Yan, the Marquis of Changning, and Wei Huan, the third master of the Zhongqin Prefecture?"
The Marquis of Changning, Cao Yanai, is the uncle of His Majesty the Second Highness. He was involved in the gold anointing case earlier. Later, when the case was found out, the Cao family was reprimanded by His Majesty, and some members of the clan were demoted to common people.
Bo Ruoyou is even more familiar with Zhongqin's Mansion. Wei Ling, the deceased in the previous serial skinning and murder case, came from Zhongqin's Mansion. Bo Ruoyou went to Bo's Mansion twice to conduct autopsies and collect evidence, and he still remembers the scenery in the house. Still new.
"Cao Yan, Marquis of Changning, once enshrined his mother's longevity tablet in Feiyunguan for five years, while Zhongqin's Mansion helped Feiyunguan build the Sanqing Hall?"
After Bao Ruoyou said this, Huo Qinghong couldn't help but say, "I followed Wu Xiang to ask about these two families the day before yesterday. The Cao family believed it before the old lady passed away. Later, after the old lady passed away, , he went to Feiyun Temple to worship the tablet, and the old lady in Zhongqin’s Mansion was a Buddhist, but the third master also liked to practice Taoism and refine elixirs, so he donated a large amount of money to the Taoist temple outside the city, built Taoist temples, and built statues of gods. There are many there every year. Spend time practicing outside."
Bao Ruoyou's eyes fell on the names of these two people and never moved away, "Of these two people, one is the brother of the imperial concubine, who has wealth and glory, and the other is the queen of the general, and is now a wealthy and idle person. If the murderer is What are their motives?"
"He is the brother of the imperial concubine. He has some wealth and wealth in his hands, but no real power. He can ask for power, and His Highness the Second Highness now wants to compete for the throne. Perhaps it is for this reason that is unknown. Although the third son of the Wei family is rich and idle, But only the elder brother above holds real power, and he himself is just an idler. They can seek wealth, power, immortality, or they may have other unknown desires." Huo Weilou glanced at the list, "Except There are also some weird things about these two people, Uncle Zhongyi——"
Bo Ruoyou's attention was not on Uncle Zhongyi, "Uncle Zhongyi? But he was the one who guided us to Feiyun Tower."
Huo Weilou said slowly: "This loyal uncle is married to Princess Anyang, the daughter of the late Prince Zhong. Princess Anyang grew up in the capital when she was a child and was extremely favored by His Majesty and the Queen Mother. Therefore, Fuyin's entire uncle The ancestral home of Zhao Qianshan and Yuan Jie I mentioned before is Huai'an, and this Huai'an was the former fiefdom of Prince Zhong."
Bo Ruoyou was excited, "It means that when Wang Qingfu was an official in the court, it was possible that Uncle Zhongyi was helping behind the scenes? Was it because of his connections with Prince Zhong?"
Huo Weilou nodded, but he took another look at the list, "But in terms of background, the Cao family also has the power to help them get promoted in the court, and the old disciples of the Wei family are also all over the army. I have sent them I went to Huai'an to ask Zhao Qianshan for questioning, and there will be news in a few days. Now there are more Cao family and Wei family, so I have to ask for verification."
"However, even if it is proved that one of them helped Wang Qingfu in the first place, it cannot prove that they are related to the murder case. To solve this case, we must either find the whereabouts of the Buddha directly, or find someone related to several murder cases. Direct evidence, otherwise, even if Wang Qingfu’s clues were traced to them, they would be able to deny it.”
