Chapter 115 Six Flowers Flying 11(1/2)

After Huo Weilou returned to his residence, he knew that Bo Ruoyou had been there in the morning, and he also learned that Bo Ruoyou had come to the yamen. He brought people to the yamen. But when he arrived, he realized that Bo Ruoyou and Wu Xiang had left. However, there was no new case in the yamen, and even Sun Zhao didn't know where they went.

Since this is the case, Huo Weilou waited in the yamen. After waiting for two cups of tea, Wu Xiang came back. He first called two yamen to Hu Changqing's house, and then went into the inner hall to pay homage to Sun Zhao. When he saw Huo Weilou was also there, Wu Xiang hurriedly bowed.

Sun Zhao looked behind him, "Why are you back alone? Where is Xiao Bo?"

Wu Xiang understood the purpose of Huo Weilou and hurriedly said, "Xiao Bo is behind and will be back soon."

Sun Zhao asked again: "Where have you been?"

"Sir, I am about to report this matter to you. The Marquis is here, so I can also hear whether this matter is of great importance." Wu Xiang sighed slowly and continued: "I have just taken Xiao Bo to see Hu Changqing. This guy rarely comes to the yamen for duty these days. I met him once a few days ago. Seeing that he looked haggard and seriously ill, I went to his house to see him this morning..."

Wu Xiang's general Hu Changqing tied up and said how he was confused. He also told Bo Ruoyou about discovering something strange about Han Jiang's younger brother, and then said with a serious expression: "Bo Junzhu thinks this is a big deal. She suspects that some kind of poison is circulating in the market. These poisons have hallucinations and are prone to madness and disorders."

Sun Zhao was slightly shocked when he heard this, "You mean, Hu Changqing's poison has been out for two days? He still tied up himself?"

"Yes, sir, and he was so crazy that he even hit his head against the edge of the bed, and his head was bleeding."

At first, Huo Weilou heard that it was a yamen coroner's business, and his expression was not very concerned. He only felt a little serious when he heard Hu Changqing's crazy journey, his face became more serious, "When you go, can others be sober?"

Wu Xiang nodded, "Half awake, I can recognize people, but I can see that he is very painful and uncomfortable. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I used my head to hit the edge of the bed, and after a few strokes, I burst into blood and fainted."

Sun Zhao also looked serious, "Do you know what poison he was in?"

Wu Xiang shook his head, "I don't know, it's just this strange. He didn't say anything about it, but he kept saying that it was a fairy medicine that could allow him to enter the state of paradise--"

Huo Weilou frowned, "The realm of paradise?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes passed by Wu Xiang and looked outside the hall, Bo Ruoyou was back.

Bo Ruowei held her skirt with her steps lighter than usual. When she walked through the atrium, she saw Huo Weilou sitting in the hall at first sight. She felt worried and worried on the road, and hurriedly entered the hall to salute.

"Greetings to the Marquis, sir——"

Huo Weilou waved his hand and looked at him. Wu Xiang hurriedly said, "Xiao Bo, I have already told the Marquis and the Lord that you are worried about. Hu Changqing did say the word "Perfect Land" and the Immortal Medicine at that time, right?"

Bo Ruoyou was looking at Huo Weilou, and when he heard this, he hurriedly looked at Wu Xiang, "Yes, that's what he said."

Huo Weilou's eyebrows frowned. How could there be a state of happiness in the world? And in the past few days, he has heard this for more than the first time. He looked at Bo Ruoyou, "Do you suspect that the coroner is the poison of charming fragrance?"

Wu Xiang had already said Bo Ruoyou's suspicion, Bo Ruoyou nodded for a moment, "It is different from the charming fragrance in the brothel, but it should be a similar thing, or rather, a more pure thing, because I have seen some paper confetti in a coroner writer. There are some residual objects on the paper confetti, and it smells more intense and pungent, just like... like spicy and plum wine, although it has a smell of wine, for ordinary people, one is spicy and intoxicating, while the other can only be slightly drunk."

She described it like this very vividly. Sun Zhao said, "Since Hu Changqing was poisoned by this object, he would bring the person to the yamen. When he woke up, he would know what it was."

Huo Weilou asked Bo Ruoyou, "Where is the smell of that poison?"

Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "The taste is astringent and bitter, and it has a bit of bad smell, which is a bit pungent."

Huo Weilou felt a little relieved when he heard this. When he heard the word "Pugainstice", he naturally thought of the things Huo Qinghong offered, but what Huo Qinghong gave him smelled sweet and thought it was not the same thing.

Bo Ruoyou looked at Sun Zhao again, "Sir, Hu Corps is afraid that he will not wake up for a while. When I saw that the brother of the deceased man in the brothel case was also a little strange, I thought it would be better to go to the Han family first to see if this would prove whether the poisoned person is an isolated case."

Sun Zhao nodded and looked at Huo Weilou. Although Huo Weilou felt that this kind of poison was not offered by Huo Qinghong, it was reasonable. He attached great importance to this matter. He said, "I will go with you."

Since Huo Weilou had this intention, Sun Zhao naturally had to accompany him. He ordered the carriage and horses to prepare, and soon the group left the hall.

Bo Ruoyou walked behind naturally, and her eyes fell on Huo Weilou. When she walked out of the door, Huo Weilou suddenly turned around and immediately looked at her. She was stunned for a moment, but Huo Weilou held his lips and said, "Come here."

Wu Xiang and Sun Zhao's eyes changed slightly when they heard this, but they didn't look sideways, and did not dare to show a strange expression. Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but glance at the two of them, and forced himself to calm down and headed towards Huo Weilou's carriage. He waited on the carriage before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Weilou lifted the curtain of the car and ordered the embroidered clothes envoy beside him to ask Zhou Liang to go home first. Zhou Liang had already gotten used to it and quickly responded.

Bo Ruoyou said, "How long has the Marquis been to the yamen? But are there any other errands?"

Just now, the two of them didn't know how to talk privately. At this moment, Bo Ruoyou asked his question in his heart. Huo Weilou said, "I came here to find you, why did you go to the coroner's writer?"

Bo Ruoyou then explained all the previous things and said, "I thought it was an ordinary poisoning, but I didn't expect that after I went there, I saw that the coroner was tortured and lost his human form. The connection between the front and back, I guess the coroner had been touching this thing for more than a month."

Wu Xiang said that Hu Changqing was very safe in the past and had no other bad habits. In this way, it could only be harmed by this kind of poison. Bo Ruoyou looked at him, "But this matter may not be that serious. It's getting late now. Has the Marquis finished his work today? Also, can the beauty be found?"

"It's over." Huo Weilou leaned over and got closer to her for a moment. "We sent someone to investigate the Wei Shu family you mentioned before. Song Yu is the Minister of Revenue. The one who interacted with him the most was Wei Shu, the Minister of Revenue. After checking, he found out that Wei Shu was in the Wei Mansion that day, and Song Yu did not go to the Wei Mansion."

Bo Ruoyou suddenly realized, "So that's it. I have read some pharmacopoeia medical books these days, saying that beauty laughs are also some alias such as rice pouch flowers, lotus, oriole and millet, and they are often born in the southwest. This thing is very beautiful for viewing, and it is very effective in making medicines and is also very rare and expensive. But I saw a doctor in the previous dynasty saying that this medicine has hidden dangers and should be very cautious when using it. I think it is because of this that it has not been popularized. However, apart from these, it has not been found to be anything else that is beneficial to finding beauty laughs."

Seeing her being very thoughtful, Huo Weilou's eyes became darker: "Although he hasn't found a beautiful woman's smile, there are still clues next to him. You are so dedicated, but for me?"

Bo Ruoyou hesitated and did not answer, but Huo Weilou held his lips silently. He couldn't help but hold Bo Ruoyou's hand. Although he didn't say anything, he felt quite happy to be pleased.

The Han family is a wealthy merchant and family. The family is in Yongkangfang in the south of the city. Wu Xiang is in front of him and goes all the way to Yongkangfang, passing through the streets and alleys. After half an hour, he stopped in front of the Han family.

The Han family was full of people, and now they had already hung up mourning. Wu Xiang went to call the door and learned that someone from the yamen was going to see the second young master of the Han family. Everyone in the Han family was quite surprised. When they entered the door, they saw that the spiritual banners were hanging high in the mansion, and Han Jiang's mourning hall had been arranged.

Mrs. Han welcomed her, "Captain Wu, but what happened to the case?"

When she looked back, she saw Sun Zhao wearing the third-rank official uniform and became even more nervous. Wu Xiang said, "We are here today to meet the second master in your house. Where are others?"

Mrs. Han was a little frightened. Although she did not recognize Huo Weilou, she felt that Huo Weilou was more compulsive than Sun Zhao. Although they were rich, they were just merchant families and did not dare to delay for a while. She hurriedly took Sun Zhao and his party to the inner courtyard.

"He has been feeling a little uncomfortable recently. In the past two days, he has been staying in his house except to go to the mourning hall to burn incense." Mrs. Han swallowed for a moment, wondering if the Han family was about to be in trouble. "Second brother is a scholar and doesn't go out much on weekdays. Adult, headmaster, could he have caused some trouble?"

Sun Zhao said: "No, you don't have to worry too much, let's meet people first."

Mrs. Han didn't dare to ask again. She entered the inner courtyard all the way, and soon entered another courtyard, and then knocked on the door in the main room, "Second brother... Are you here?"

After shouting twice, no one answered, Mrs. Han said again: "Han Ming? Come out, the people from the yamen are here, I want to see you."

There was still no movement inside the door. Huo Weilou frowned at the closed door, "There is someone inside."

Mrs. Han didn't dare to delay and pushed the door open hard. As soon as the door opened, a special pungent smell spread out. Wu Xiang's face suddenly changed, "It's this smell, Xiaobiao, right?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, and Wu Xiang took the lead and walked in first. Mrs. Han was frightened and watched everyone enter one after another before finally following in.

There were no one in the left and right wings in the house, and the more you walked towards the inner room, the stronger the smell became. Because it was a man, Wu Xiang did not avoid it and entered the inner room in a few steps. As soon as he entered the door, he stopped.

Sun Zhao and Huo Weilou followed closely behind. When Bo Ruoyou entered the door, the few people looked at the scene in front of them and breathed lightly.

Han Ming was lying half-scattered on the long couch under the west window. There was a table table on it, and there were a few bottles and jars on it, and there were fire folds and several bamboo tubes. Han Ming also held a bamboo tube in his hand. He didn't know what was placed in the bamboo tube, and there was smoke at one end. Han Ming was intoxicated at this moment and placed the bamboo tube at the mouth and nose, and from time to time he lowered his head to take a breath of smoke.

The smoke must have been very choking, but he didn't realize it at all. Instead, he looked intoxicated, as if he had forgotten all his thoughts. He didn't know where he was. He heard footsteps and looked at him slowly. Seeing so many people appear, he was not at all panic. Instead, he sucked the bamboo tube again and then laughed foolishly.

Mrs. Han walked in and was also startled by the scene, "Han Ming! What are you doing?!"

The room was filled with smoke and a smoky feeling, while the doors and windows were closed, making it look even more strange and weird. Mrs. Han went up to open the window. Seeing that Han Ming was still intoxicated, she couldn't help but push him, "Han Ming?"

Han Ming was pushed by her and staggered. He fell softly on the couch, his joints seemed to be soft. At this moment, the smoke in the bamboo tube suddenly broke. His face changed. He quickly went to get the fire stick, ignited it tremblingly, and burned one end of the bamboo tube. Soon, the smoke came out again. He took a deep breath in fascination, then lay down stretched, intoxicated, and the corners of his lips were pulled high.

Mrs. Han was startled, "You, you—"

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but walk up to Huo Weilou and said to him: "Marty, the coroner, is also burned with poisons in a roll of paper. Although he didn't see how he used it, he was afraid he was the same as him."

Huo Weilou's heart that had just been relieved was hung high again, for nothing but for the person in front of him, although this method is different from the use of the thing Huo Qinghong offered, it has the same truth.

When Bo Ruoyou said that the same was true for the coroner, he immediately stepped forward and opened the bottles and jars placed on the table. Even so, he did not alarm Han Ming. He leaned against the pillow with a blurred look, and only held the bamboo tube firmly.

When Huo Weilou opened the third small ceramic jar, his already stern face suddenly became cold.

The first two contained some brown and black debris, but the third one contained a golden paste. Although it contained many impurities, it was exactly the same as the thing Huo Qinghong offered!

He held the pottery jar tightly and looked at Han Ming again, and found that the end of the bamboo tube in Han Ming's hand was stained with the golden ointment. For a moment, he seemed to see Huo Qinghong through him. Thinking that Huo Qinghong might also be like Han Ming, he lost consciousness. He put the pottery jar and turned around and said, "Leave it to you here. Be sure to find out the cause and effect, come to the Marquis' Mansion to report."

After he finished speaking, he left, and waited beside Bo Ruoyou and said, "Come with me."

After the words were finished, he didn't explain much. When Bo Ruoyou reacted, the others had already left the inner room. It would be a big deal to make him so nervous. She said goodbye to Sun Zhao and the others and followed.

After getting on the carriage, Bo Ruoyou looked at Huo Weilou in confusion. Huo Weilou had already made the carriage move, and said, "I just saw another poisonous substance. It was exactly the same as the one Huo Qinghong sent to the Marquis' Mansion last time. When he sent it, he also said that this thing can refresh the mind and make people tireless. He also said that if the dosage is used more, it can make people reach the state of paradise."

Bo Ruoyou was extremely surprised when he heard this, "But the brocade box I saw that day?"

Huo Weilou nodded, thinking of hiding a little from Bo Ruoyou that day, he explained: "When he gave this item that day, he only said it could be used to refresh himself. Although he mentioned something else later, I was not close to women and did not have that purpose, so I never told you clearly."

A flash of inspiration in Bo Ruoyou's mind, "Does the prince say this thing can be fun?"

At that time, what he and Ming Guilan thought were for aphrodisiacs, but they also had the same meaning. He nodded, "At that time, I asked him if he bought it in a fireworks place, but he said it was given to him by the prince of the Zhongyi Bo Mansion. Ming Guilan also said that he did not know the toxicity of this thing. I did not take it seriously. Now I am afraid that he was poisoned very much and did not know it."

Bo Ruoyou understood, and she also thought of Han Jiang's case. "The day before yesterday, someone died in the brothel. He just saw Han Mingzhi's brother. He died on the bed because... because he was addicted to Yushuizhihuan. When I went to the autopsy, I found that it was not like the wind on the wind, but it seemed to be confused by Meixiang. But later, Captain Wu checked and found that there were many places where Meixiang was used, and nothing happened elsewhere. Now it seems that it was probably because Meixiang and the deceased used more powerful poisons at home."

With this statement, Huo Wei was even more worried on the floor. Huo Qinghong often went to look for flowers and willows, and he had already mentioned that using golden paste would make it happier between the beds.

He did not respond, his face was dark. Bo Ruoyou rarely saw him look like this. When he thought of Huo Qinghong's preferences, he became even more worried, but he couldn't help but appease Huo Weilou. "Marty, maybe the prince was just on a whim and did not use this thing frequently later."

Huo Weilou knew Huo Qinghong too much, "He has been honored by gold and jade since he was a child, and his parents are quite fond of him. Therefore, people who are very reckless and used to enjoying themselves will only let themselves go if they really taste good somewhere."

Bo Ruoyou's heart tightened and could not express words of comfort for a moment. Wu Xiang once said that Hu Changqing was not a weak person, and he had no bad habits in the past, even he was like that, let alone Huo Qinghong?

Huo Weilou slightly closed his eyes, his eyes fell on the car board in front of him, but obviously his mind had fallen elsewhere. His brows were very tight. In addition to being pressing, he was also a little anxious. Bo Ruoyou looked at him, he hesitated for a few moments, and reached out to hold his fist that was clenched on his knees.

Huo Weilou looked at her, his eyes regained a little bit of emotion, and he held her hand back.

The carriage ran all the way and arrived at Duke Huo Guo’s mansion. Huo Weilou quickly got off the carriage. Even though he was anxious, he still waited outside the carriage for Bo Ruoyou. When she got down, he took her all the way into Duke’s mansion.

The Duke's Mansion and the Wu Zhaohou Mansion are almost the same. They are both luxurious and noble, rich and exquisite. However, compared to the coldness of the Wu Zhaohou Mansion, there are many servants here, and there is even more lively the Duke's Mansion. As soon as Huo Weilou reached the gate of the main courtyard, he saw Duke and his wife greeting him.

The two of them looked very happy, and Duke Huo Cheng smiled and said, "Why are you here in Weilou?"

Huo Weilou looked solemn, "Where is Hong'er?"

Huo Cheng and his wife looked at each other, and the Duke of the Kingdom, Yue, pointed to the direction of the inner courtyard, "What's wrong in your own courtyard?"

Huo Weilou did not answer, and walked towards the inner courtyard. He was naturally very familiar with the Duke's Mansion. He strided all the way and the Huo Cheng and his wife were stunned and hurriedly followed. Only then did they notice a beautiful woman following behind. The two of them were a little surprised and looked at each other again, wondering what was going on.

As soon as Huo Weilou entered Huo Qinghong's yard, others came out. Seeing Huo Weilou bringing Bo Ruoyou with him, he was a little surprised, "Brother? Youyou? Why are you here?"

Seeing that he came out intact, Huo Weilou's tense heartstrings finally relaxed. He looked him up and down for a moment, and asked in a deep voice: "Can you use golden cream these days?"

Huo Qinghong was stunned and his eyes flashed, "No...nothing is useless."
To be continued...
