Chapter 84 Sihexiang 24

It was raining heavily at night, and when Huo Weilou was still two blocks away from Cheng's house, he met the people who were sending Bao Ruoyou back.

They were also a little surprised when they saw Huo Weilou coming in the rain. Huo Weilou asked loudly in the heavy rain: "Did someone come into the house?"

The embroiderer shouted yes, but Huo Weilou still whipped his horse and continued to go to Cheng's house. He came once when he sent Bao Ruoyou back last time, and before half a stick of incense was available, he arrived at Cheng's house. In front of the house.

Going forward to call the door, Zhou Liang waited for a while before opening the door. When he saw Huo Weilou standing wet in the rain, he was immediately startled, "Master Hou? I want to pay my respects to Master Hou——"

Huo Weilou stared, "Where is Bo Ruoyou?"

Zhou Liang said hurriedly: "The young lady has been back for a while. She talked to the master for a while. Now she has gone back to the house to change clothes. Is the Marquis here to see the young lady?" After saying that, he stepped aside two steps and said, "Mr. Hou, go ahead. Come on, it’s raining too much."

Huo Weilou glanced into the courtyard and saw dim lights shining in the night rain. He entered the door without hesitation, "I have something to ask her, please lead the way."

With Zhou Liang's confirmation, there was no need to go in. Maybe it was raining too much tonight. Huo Weilou would not be relieved if he didn't see her with his own eyes. He walked around the screen wall and entered the front yard. Cheng Yunzhi also came out from the main hall and stood there. In the corridor, he was also surprised when he saw it was Huo Weilou. He hurriedly held an umbrella and walked down the steps, "Why is the Marquis here so late?"

Huo Weilou glanced around, as if looking for Bao Ruoyou's shadow, "I have something to ask Bao Ruoyou."

While Cheng Yunzhi held an umbrella for Huo Weilou and invited him into the main hall, he signaled Zhou Liang to call Bo Ruoyou, and said: "Master Hou is here to ask Youyou what the dirt is? He has already experienced it. Those things are rouge."

Huo Weilou walked to the corridor and stood there, with no surprise on his face.

The murderer was not Han Qi, but Han Sheng's boudoir was fully stocked with rouge and gouache. It was not surprising to find the rouge painted on Han Sheng's body among Xu Wanshu's nails.

He was soaked to the skin, and water was still dripping from the hem of his robe. Although Cheng Yunzhi invited him to sit down in the room again, he had no intention of entering. He looked at the courtyard for a few moments, and found that it was even more shabby than he had imagined. , turned his eyes, only looking in the direction Zhou Liang left just now without saying a word. Aunt Liang came out of the kitchen when she heard the noise, and was a little confused when she saw so many people suddenly coming to the yard.

At this moment, Zhou Liang suddenly ran out of the west courtyard in large strides, "Master! Master Hou! Something happened -"

As soon as these words came out, Huo Weilou's heart suddenly sank.

The worst plan came true. With a sharp look in his eyes, he walked towards the west courtyard. Zhou Liang's face turned pale and he didn't even know where he had thrown his umbrella. He then said urgently: "The door to Miss's room is closed. But the window was wide open, and she was gone——"

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yunzhi and Aunt Liang were startled and came to the west courtyard one after another. Huo Weilou walked into the upper room of the west courtyard. After entering the door, he walked to the inner room. A dim light was still on in the room. , but as Zhou Liang said, Bo Ruoyou disappeared.

The robe she was wearing was still placed beside the bed. The tables, chairs and utensils in the room were all in order. There were no signs of fighting. Only the back window was wide open. Huo Weilou frowned and looked down, and saw the ground at a glance. wet marks.

It was a wet mark left by two people. It was like a footprint, but it was incomplete. There were even more marks after being dragged on the ground. Huo Weilou cracked his knuckles and said, "Search! I just left not long ago."

Ning Xiao did not expect that Huo Weilou's worries would come true. He quickly dispersed with his people. Cheng Yunzhi, who followed, saw that Bo Ruoyou had really disappeared and sweated on his forehead. "Youyou just came back just now." House, what's going on? Where have people gone? Does the Marquis know that something went wrong at the Youyou meeting when he comes here at this time?"

Huo Weilou was standing at the back window, with a cold and cold attitude about keeping strangers away from him. His eyes seemed deep and calm, but deep in his pupils, there was thunderous anger brewing, "The murderer in this case She was on the run, and I just learned a moment ago that the murderer had seen her for an autopsy. I was worried that the murderer would come to seek revenge, so I brought someone to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another muffled thunder in the sky, and a Bailian slashed down in the air. The white light instantly reflected Huo Weilou's face clearly, and the handsome face carved with a knife and ax was now full of murderous intent, as if it was serious. Yama appears in this world.

The ink-like darkness of the night and the heavy downpour seemed to be able to cover up all traces of monsters and monsters. Huo Weilou could not imagine where Bo Ruoyou would be taken, let alone what would happen to her. He This heart that had been hardened for more than twenty years suddenly began to spasm uncontrollably, and the dull pain spread bit by bit. He folded his back and exhaled with difficulty.

Suddenly, Ning Xiao yelled in the backyard, "Master Hou, I found something——"

Huo Weilou straightened his back, a cold light flashed in his eyes, jumped out from the window sill, and walked into the rainy night again.

……

The deafening thunder woke up Bo Ruoyou, who had fainted. She was still unconscious. She could only vaguely feel ice-cold water being poured on her body. Her neck was in severe pain. Her hands were tied behind her back, something hard was pressed against her abdomen, and she was jolting up and down. She tried hard to open her eyes, but the rain instantly invaded, stinging her and she closed her eyes tightly again, while the sound of rain pattered around her. Noise, no idea where you are.

Having been half awake and half dazed for a long time, Bo Ruoyou realized that she was being carried on someone's shoulders. Although she was slender, only a man with considerable strength could carry her. In a daze, A terrible thought came to her belatedly.

No wonder there were no women's underwear in the boudoir, and there was no place for menstruation. If the murderer was a man who liked women's skirts and dressed up as women, then why would he need to prepare these?

She was shivering all over, but she wondered why the murderer didn't kill her directly, but took her out.

What would the murderer do at such risk?

Her thoughts were intermittent, and her whole body gradually became numb from pain. I don’t know how long it took, but a violent impact hit her internal organs and caused them to shift, and a fishy-sweet feeling surged in her throat.

The murderer threw her to the ground.

A faint groan of pain escaped from her throat, and Bao Ruoyou curled up. She had been raining on the road for an unknown period of time, but now she felt that the sound of the pitter-patter rain seemed far away, and there was no cold water to pour on her. She curled up into a ball and trembled for a long time. Only then did she get over the pain, and her consciousness gradually recovered.

Before she opened her eyes, she first smelled a familiar rotten smell, and then the sound of footsteps and shouts echoed in her ears. When she struggled to open her eyes, she first saw When she reached a small fire, she saw a young woman in a red dress... no, a young man in a red dress.

The man is not tall, but his figure is quite handsome among women. He is facing the fire, holding a mirror in one hand and a silk handkerchief in the other, and is wiping his own face carefully. Face, two exquisite boxes were placed next to him. Bo Ruoyou looked familiar, and after turning his head for a long time with dull pain, he remembered that they were exactly the same as the rouge box in Han Sheng's boudoir.

With a click, he opened the box and began to rouge himself.

He found a delicate knife from somewhere, used the knife to pick out a bead of rouge, and then melted it into the palm of his hand. He dipped it with his fingertips and then applied it little by little on his face and lips. His hands were long and thin. , and there is a sense of gray that is rarely seen in the sky. At this moment, the bright red rouge is reflected, and it looks inexplicably shocking.

Bo Ruoyou saw the scars on his hands, especially the five fingers of his left hand that were facing her.

Knife, knife-wielding hand...

Bao Ruoyou trembled and finally realized what he had missed.

There are all paper knives in Han Qi's room, but he has a lot of jade carving seals on the shelf, but there is no carving knife for carving jade seals in the whole room.

Han Qi is good at both calligraphy and painting, and is also good at mounting paintings, but his hands are clean and neat, but they are not the ones holding a knife.

The person engraved is his "sister".

Han Sheng painted her face into a gorgeous face, and paired it with a red dress, which made her look as scary as the female ghost in red who was said to be cannibalistic. And when she thought about the fact that she was actually a man, It feels even more eerie and creepy.

This is a dilapidated house. The ground is full of dust and the doors and windows are dilapidated. Only the roof can block the heavy rain tonight. Bo Ruoyou fell to the cold and hard ground, and the rainwater on his body quickly covered him. Her body was covered with mud. She opened her eyes and looked around, trying to find any chance of survival. However, her hands were cut behind her back and she didn't even have the strength to move her fingers.

Suddenly, the people beside the fire looked over.

Finding that she was awake, Han Sheng pulled a weird smile from the corner of his lips. He put down the rouge, put away a small bundle beside him, then walked slowly with a silk handkerchief and the delicate carving knife. Come to Bao Ruoyou.

Bao Ruoyou subconsciously tightened her body, but Han Sheng walked to Bao Ruoyou and turned her around with great strength. He pulled off Bao Ruoyou's robe from her left shoulder behind her back. Her entire thin and white left shoulder was exposed.

The skin that had been wetted by the rain looked even more moist. Han Sheng brushed the cinnabar mole with some fascination. He seemed to be more satisfied. He raised his hand and wiped her skin with a silk handkerchief. He carefully wiped her skin with a silk handkerchief. It looked like she was wiping some jade porcelain.

No matter how calm and composed Bao Ruoyou was, she was struck by fear at this moment. She moved her lips, but her throat seemed to have been sharpened by a blunt knife, and she could only utter two hoarse words. Voice.

Han Sheng paused behind her and suddenly said: "You are a gangster. You want to know that after death, the skin will be dull and the blood will become fishy black. Therefore, this person's skin will definitely... It’s best to peel it off right after death, when it’s still alive.”

"You should know best after examining their corpses, but you probably never thought that one day, you would become just like them——"

A cold and sharp hard object touched her left shoulder. Han Sheng's hand was very steady and precise. He slowly and leisurely drew a perfect circle on her shoulder. He let out a light tut, which seemed extremely satisfy.

"Has anyone seen it? She's so beautiful, just like me, but being too beautiful will arouse jealousy..."

His tone sounded like a smile, but to human ears, it sounded like some cold-blooded crawling snake, making Bo Ruoyou shudder, and her exposed shoulders trembled slightly, visible to the naked eye.

This made Han Sheng dissatisfied. He grabbed her collar and dragged her towards the fire. He waited until she was closer to the fire before stopping. He was facing Bo Ruoyou's back. , seeing that her body was still trembling, she suddenly asked herself, "Do I have to kill you to take off your skin?"

He added: "You are different from them. I want you to live and watch your skin and flesh being peeled off. You are a liar. You have seen so many dead people's skin and flesh, but you must have never seen your own. If Before you die, if you see with your own eyes that you are just like them, will you regret committing a crime and getting involved in this case?"

"However, this is the fate you should have..."

If anyone else heard this, they would definitely be afraid and regret it, but Bo Ruoyou only heard Han Sheng’s hatred for her. She felt that at this moment, she was as powerless as a fish waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board. She was gone, and Liang Liang was gone. My aunt will definitely find out, her family will find out, and if she goes to the government to report it, Huo Weilou will definitely come to save her if she knows about it, but is it still too late?

She struggled to say: "Why do you hate me..."

The hoarse voice sounded like an octogenarian. When Han Sheng heard this, his tone suddenly became cold, "Of course I hate you! If it weren't for you, how could my brother and I be forced to this point?"

When Han Qi was mentioned, Han Sheng's tone became even more sinister, "You don't know how difficult it is for us, and you don't know how difficult it is for him. He is a child prodigy and a talented man in this world, but he lives on for me, transcribing those He wrote a low-grade storyboard, imitated the paintings that he didn’t like, and even ghostwritten the wine bag and rice bag. If it hadn’t been for you, how could this case have been settled like this?”

When Han Sheng mentioned Han Qi, his tone became more intense and sad, as if half of the anger in his heart was caused by Han Qi.

Bao Ruoyou opened his eyes and said with difficulty: "But... your brother, he confessed..."

Han Sheng's expression suddenly changed, from vicious to frightened, and a little irritable, "No! It's not my brother, it's me... I killed the person, it had nothing to do with my brother, how could he plead guilty, no, You have no evidence. Even if he pleads guilty, you can't sentence him to death. It's disgusting. It's too disgusting. Are you going to give in?"

After he finished speaking, the hatred in his eyes deepened. Looking at Bao Ruoyou curled up on the ground, he suddenly looked around anxiously, as if he wanted to find a rope immediately and strangle her to death on the spot.

Bao Ruoyou said nothing. She huddled together, motionless, as if she had exhausted all her strength after saying just that sentence. Han Sheng sneered, then picked up the carving knife and made gestures on Bao Ruoyou's shoulder. , but he held Bo Ruoyou's hands behind her back, which always made her shoulder blades a little uneven. He frowned impatiently for a moment, and then raised his hand to untie Bao Ruoyou's hands behind her back.

He was not at ease after all, so he tied Bao Ruoyou's hands in front of him. This stretched Bao Ruoyou's back, which was easier for him to strike, but Bao Ruoyou's shoulders and back were still shaking slightly, which always made him Feeling irritated, but determined to skin her alive, he had no choice but to hold her down with one hand.

"I watched you take my brother away with my own eyes, and you still want to capture me, and you want me to be punished, but how can there be so many royal laws in this world? The humble will be bullied for the rest of their lives, while the rich can do it for the rest of their lives. Master, my brother must be suffering now, but it doesn’t matter. My brother is not guilty in the first place, and the government will always let him go. As for the sins that my brother suffered, I will recover them from you..."

The sharp pain made Bao Ruoyou clench her teeth instantly, but she remained motionless, as if she could only tremble and lose consciousness. Her actions also made Han Sheng lower his guard. He carefully cut the knife and first After tracing the drawn circular fan shape, he traced tiny dots one after another. As he penetrated Bo Ruoyou's skin one by one, his hand on Bo Ruoyou's shoulder also loosened, and the anxious look on his face gradually calmed down. Come down, as if fascinated by the careful and precise carving.

Bo Ruoyou quietly touched the knot on her wrist. It was a slip knot that was hastily tied in a hurry. Although it was tied very tightly, Bo Ruoyou was familiar with this kind of knot. She was very light. Very slowly, she released her hand. She turned her back to the fire. When she opened her eyes, she could vaguely see a broken piece of wood lying horizontally a foot in front of her.

She did not move immediately. The stinging pain on her shoulder and back made her body perception more and more clear. She could even feel that the tip of the knife on her back had carved a small half circle. Han Sheng's knife was extremely accurate. , and for fear of destroying the perfect arc, the sword was not heavy. Just when Han Sheng bent down for a long time and straightened up tiredly to exhale, Bo Ruoyou suddenly climbed forward, picked up the broken wood on the ground and used all his strength Hit him from behind.

Han Sheng was immersed in the painting, never expecting that the half-dead Bao Ruoyou had untied the knot and touched the weapon that attacked him. Before he could react, the broken wood suddenly hit him on the left side. face.

This blow was not fatal, but it caused Han Sheng to fall to the right. Golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and his face quickly swelled up. Bao Ruoyou wanted to shine on him. She was hit on the temple, but Han Sheng was half-crouched, higher than she expected, and was only hit on the face. But this one blow was her only chance of survival.

Bao Ruoyou got up and ran outside.

"Stop——"

Han Sheng covered his face and shouted. He held a carving knife in one hand and chased after him with a ferocious expression. Bo Ruoyou was weak and stumbled. His clothes were loose and his feet tripped over debris on the ground from time to time. , Even so, she still ran towards what seemed to be the main exit.

At the moment of life and death, Bao Ruoyou gritted her teeth and tried her best, but when she was about to run to the door, she was tripped by something, and she couldn't help but fell down towards the door, with a heavy blow. Before Bao Ruoyou could get up, she heard footsteps coming behind her. She tried hard to get up, but the next moment her skirt was stepped on.

Han Sheng's breath approached, and Bo Ruoyou subconsciously turned around to look. As soon as she turned around, a sharp light pierced her eyes. It was the enraged Han Sheng who stabbed her with a carving knife. At that moment, she had never seen anything like this before. Bo Ruoyou was struck by despair. She knew that the only chance of survival had not escaped. Han Sheng was afraid that he would kill her before she could wait until she was skinned!

She closed her eyes subconsciously.

This moment lasted longer than Bao Ruoyou imagined. It was so long that tears fell from the corners of her eyes uncontrollably. She thought of Cheng Yunzhi. If she died and he was seriously ill and no one would take care of him in old age, she He also thought of Huo Weilou. She didn't wait for him, and he would be angry. One wrong move from Qiqi gave the murderer another chance to harm others, and he would be angry with her for being stupid.

Bao Ruoyou desperately waited for the knife to fall, but after a few thoughts flashed across her, the knife had never fallen on her. At this moment, amid the roaring tinnitus, and the crackling words Amidst the sound, she heard the messy footsteps getting closer and closer, and another heavy "bang" sound settled beside her. She suddenly opened her eyes, and first saw Han Sheng lying on the ground, with his chest A short dagger was inserted, blood oozed from under his robe, and he huddled together in pain.

Bao Ruoyou was stunned and didn't even react. At this moment, footsteps sounded behind her. Before she could turn around, a long arm had already pulled her into his arms.

More footsteps came around, someone was talking, someone was holding Han Sheng, but there was a roar in Bo Ruoyou's ears, but she couldn't hear a word clearly. With the last bit of strength, she raised her head He only saw a pair of bloodshot phoenix eyes.

Bao Ruoyou didn't want to cry, but seeing him at this moment, tears couldn't help but pour down. His phoenix eyes felt even more distressed for a moment. He pulled off his robe to wrap her up, picked her up and walked toward her. After walking outside, Bao Ruoyou's tight body finally relaxed, and without the will to hold on, she fainted almost immediately.

"Lead the horse——"

Huo Weilou walked into the rain and shouted in a hoarse voice, Ning Xiao led the horse over. Huo Weilou put Bo Ruoyou on the horse, turned over, and tightened the reins, he ordered, "Let Ming Ming Gui Lan passes the Hou Mansion and goes to the Cheng family to say something."

Before Ning Xiao could say his words, Huo Weilou raised his whip and galloped into the rainy night. He galloped all the way, and the person in front of him was taken into his arms. He was anxious and distressed at the same time. , I just wish I could spread my wings and fly back to the Hou Mansion. The accompanying Embroidered Clothes Envoy also rode his horse and whipped his whip. When others stopped in front of the Hou Mansion, the Embroidered Clothes Envoy came back to report, and Eunuch Fu's expression changed greatly. He came out from inside.

"What the **** is going on?"

The two of them were soaked to the skin. Although Bo Ruoyou was wrapped in Huo Weilou's robe, it was of no use and she had already been unconscious. Eunuch Fu followed Huo Weilou and helped her arm, feeling that there was ice under his palm. Generally speaking, he immediately said: "How can this be good? Where is the injury?"

Huo Weilou walked in with Bo Ruoyouji in his arms, "The injuries were on his shoulders, back and neck."

As soon as he saw Bao Ruoyou, Huo Weilou checked it out. Eunuch Fu frowned when he heard this, "Let's not talk about injuries. He is frozen. I need to prepare hot water. At least I need to wipe myself." Change into clean clothes, Lord Marquis, don’t worry, Young Master Ming will be here soon."

Huo Weilou didn't respond. Eunuch Fu ran all the way to give orders. When he carried Bo Ruoyou to his bedroom, hot water was also brought to the inner room. However, Eunuch Fu looked at the room full of grown men and was confused for a moment. Some troubles are caused by men. Who can wipe Youyou and change her clothes?

Huo Weilou made a mistake and said, "Put it away in the penthouse."

The wing room is where Huo Weilou bathes. Eunuch Fu understood and immediately sent hot water over. When the bathtub was half filled with hot water, Huo Weilou hugged Bao Ruoyou and put her in.

The hot water was up to his chest. Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, whose face was pale and seemed to be silent, and his eyes were dark. Eunuch Fu said hurriedly: "Master Marquis, take care of me. I will go pick up Mr. Ming..."

Everyone filed in and out. When everyone was gone, Huo Weilou dipped his hands in hot water to clean Bo Ruoyou's face. Rain and tears were mixed on her face, which made Huo Weilou's heart twitch. It hurts.
