Chapter 126 Six Flowers Flying 22(1/2)
Next few days, Bo Ruoyou had not seen Huo Weilou. It was already the end of April. The weather became hotter and hotter amid the sound of cicadas. Bo Ruoyou thought that Cheng Yunzhi was in poor health, so he changed the time to go to the Hou Mansion to early morning.
I thought I could meet Huo Weilou in the early morning, and I clinked Huo Weilou to go out of the city to do business, but I haven't returned for many days. In this way, she had not seen him for almost half a month. The only thing that was thankful that Huo Qinghong's drug addiction was getting slower and slower.
Early this morning, the father and daughter entered the door of the Marquis' Mansion in the drizzle. Eunuch Fu had been waiting for them and welcomed them into the guest yard. He sighed with a sigh: "Mr. Cheng, you don't know how difficult it is. The prince actually slept well last night. It has been almost a month since he was brought over by the Marquis, and this is the first time he has experienced it."
Eunuch Fu took care of Huo Qinghong every day, knowing where he is good and what is bad, so he is naturally even more grateful to Cheng Yunzhi. Cheng Yunzhi smiled gently and said, "It will be better if we persist. The child next door has only been attacked once every three or four days. He is fine when he reads and practices calligraphy on weekdays. It looks like he is normal. The prince's poison is deeper and slower."
After entering the warm room, Huo Qinghong leaned on the couch, looking at the drizzle outside the window with a little blank look. When he heard the movement, his eyelashes trembled, but he did not look at them. He has been so taciturn for more than ten days.
Cheng Yunzhi stepped forward to ask for his pulse. Huo Qinghong was very involved, but he was still so depressed that he didn't speak. Cheng Yunzhi didn't mind. After seeing the situation, he began to apply acupuncture. When the acupuncture was applied, the father-in-law Fu and Bo Ruoyou were waiting in the hall. The father-in-law sighed, "Everyone who sees him is like this. The prince and his wife came over together two days ago and didn't talk much. I doubt whether the poison of the golden ointment poisoned the prince's brain. Mr. Cheng said that this poison hurts his brain."
Bo Ruoyou thought for a moment, "It's just a little better now. My father-in-law doesn't need to worry. The prince has never suffered any pain before. Now he is in trouble. It's normal for him to have some changes in his mood. And he is not feeling well, so he naturally has no other things. I have read the documents recorded in the yamen. Those who use golden ointment for more than a month, although they have a serious addiction to drugs, they are clear about their consciousness before the poison is released, so my father-in-law can rest assured for the time being."
Eunuch Fu sighed, with deep worries in his eyes, so it was not so easy to feel at ease.
After the injection of the needle, Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to say goodbye. When Eunuch Fu sent her, he said, "The Marquis is afraid he will return tomorrow and the next day. This time he went to the old house of the Wei family in Qinshui County. If it goes well, the case can be handed over to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple for review and finalization. There are many people involved this time, and I don't know when the trial will be held."
Bo Ruoyou heard that Huo Weilou must have been very complicated at hand, and he was not easy to ask too much. He only remembered that Huo Weilou was about to come back and got on a carriage with Cheng Yunzhi. On the way, Cheng Yunzhi talked about the condition of the city. Although there were regular imperial doctors in the disease camp in the south of the city, the Imperial Hospital has not yet developed a detoxification strategy. It is said that the yamen runners in the disease camp were all in a panic.
Bo Ruoyou had the idea of going to the yamen to take a look. When he arrived at the door of his house, Cheng Yunzhi got out of the carriage, and Zhou Liang drove to the yamen again. In the past few days, she went to the yamen twice. Because there was no doubt, she didn't go every day. Now she wanted to ask what the situation was in the city. And if she wanted to tell Cheng Yunzhi's method, it would be quite unchanged. First, Cheng Yunzhi's incense pills vary from person to person, and second, if Cheng Yunzhi did this, there were not many people who would treat diseases with acupuncture.
After walking for half an hour, 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 room covered in blood. Hou Yang brought a basin of water. Wu Xiang grinned and washed the blood on his hands. Bo Ruoyou was startled and hurried forward, "Catcher, what's wrong? Are you injured?"
Wu Xiang was happy when she saw her, and then smiled bitterly, "It's not that I was injured, but that I went to save someone in the morning. There was a family in the south of the city. The eldest son in the family sucked golden ointment and had hallucinations. He treated his father as an old enemy in his early years. Then he used a knife to chop his father, and then held his father hostage on the bridge. Whoever dared to get close would kill someone and jump into the river."
Wu Xiang washed his hands, but his clothes were still covered in blood. He sighed, "His father lost too much blood. When he was rescued, he had already died-"
Bo Ruoyou felt cold in his heart, "Why didn't he send someone to the sick camp?"
Wu Xiang sighed again, "It's mostly because I don't trust the yamen and I'm reluctant to give it away. I always feel that it's better to stay at home. Now something happened. The troubles in the past two days were all caused by golden ointment. People were killed by poisoning, people jumped off buildings, people traumatized and hit the wall, people ran away everywhere and lost people. We really ran away. We were just sent more people in the sick camp a few days ago. Because those people were poisoned, they were very likely to make trouble unless they were shackles."
Wu Xiang patted his clothes and stood up, "Why are you here today?"
Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "I'll see if there are any helpers, and I'd like to ask if there is a strategy for detoxification in the disease camp."
Wu Xiang curled his lips and shook his head, whispered: "What kind of detoxification strategy? The Imperial Hospital was also frustrated and was unwilling to go to the disease camp. The doctors in the palace were also pampered and would only show ordinary diseases to the nobles. This time, this drug addiction was caused. No one dared to say that he could solve it, and then pushed it around, just a drag-on technique. Haha, no one dared to take responsibility now. One or two people were sent to ask about the disease every day, and they used the pulse case to act, but still didn't know how to detoxify. We and General Xu of the patrol battalion were helpless. If this continued, the disease camp could not be handled."
Bo Ruoyou never expected that there was no improvement in the disease camp in the south of the city. There were so many patients, and there were many cases for research. Logically speaking, it was better to discover this drug addiction trait, and then the treatment strategy was to prepare.
Wu Xiang said again: "Only the investigation of the gold paste is very neat. With the Marquis taking the lead, the yamen below will be ordered to do it. In just half a month, the gold paste seized was piled up in a large courtyard of the patrol camp. There were only a few people who had privately kept the gold paste in the city. On the surface, no one dared to sell it anymore. The Marquis also urged the Ministry of Justice to formulate a law a few days ago, but there was a clear order in two days. There were people who ran errands and tried hard, and the people below did not dare to neglect them. But the doctors could not think of a way to detoxify, even if the knife was placed on their necks, it would be impossible."
Bo Ruoyou understood the most. She thought for a while, "Maybe I would like to see the records of the pulse case medication sent from the medical camp? I want to copy one and take it home. My adoptive father is also a doctor, so I want him to take a look."
Wu Xiang felt that Bo Ruoyou wanted to do his best to detoxify, but he didn't have much hope, so he didn't ask in detail and took her to the back hall. When he entered the back hall, he saw many books and books in the hall and several civil servants were copying documents.
Wu Xiang flipped through it, handed her a copy, and mocked her, "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 guess that Your Majesty has seen anything we have worked hard to write?"
Bo Ruoyou looked out and made a gesture of banning voices. Wu Xiang snorted: "Don't worry, I'll just talk about it here. I'll do these stupid things all day long, but nothing is useful."
Bo Ruoyou shook her head helplessly and went to search for the records. Seeing that there were still some available items, he found a table to copy it. Seeing this, Wu Xiang asked her to find a dress to change it by herself.
Bo Ruoyou's intention of copying was being copied, and the light in front of him was suddenly blocked. Bo Ruoyou thought it was Wu Xiang who came back and said without raising his head: "I'm just afraid I have to copy a few more pictures--"
Someone chuckled, "The second sister is studying the poisonous method of golden ointment?"
Bo Ruoyou paused his pen tip and quickly raised his eyes. Sure enough, she saw Lin Zhao at first sight. She was a little surprised, "Young Master Lin?"
Lin Zhao was used to her stubbornness to her not changing her title, so she stood up again and blessed her with great politeness, "How could Mr. Lin come to the yamen?"
Lin Zhao swept the pulse case she copied, "I came here for the sake of golden ointment. Recently, the Ministry of Revenue has been in chaos, and this time the disease camp is in need of assistant managers of the Ministry of Revenue, so I was temporarily transferred to the Ministry of Revenue for help."
The emperor and his close ministers who came out of the Hanlin Academy were already going to join the Six Ministry. Now Lin Zhao is not a big deal to join the Ministry of Revenue in advance. She also knows the turmoil in the Ministry of Revenue, so she is not surprised. She nodded and Wu Xiang returned. Seeing Lin Zhao standing in front of Bo Ruoyou, she immediately said: "Sir Xiaolin, the official documents you want are ready."
As he said that, he led Lin Zhao to the left side of the back hall. Lin Zhao said, "You can leave for a while." After saying that, he quickly left, but after a moment, he took a few notes and walked out from inside, and went to Bo Ruoyou and said, "Second sister, the city has not been peaceful recently, so you and Uncle Cheng are all good."
Bo Ruoyou put away the pulse case of several pages he copied, "Thank you, we are very good."
Lin Zhao said again: "Do you have to take these pulse cases back for Uncle Cheng to see?"
Bo Ruoyou responded and saw that he was holding the official document and seemed to be leaving the government office, so he couldn't help saying, "If Mr. Lin has something to do, go and do it, don't delay the errands."
Lin Zhao wanted to speak for a moment, "Then I'll visit you tomorrow." After saying this, he turned around and went out.
Wu Xiang looked around and said nothing.
Bo Ruoyou continued to copy the pulse case, and copied four or five pages. Seeing the sun setting in the west, he left the yamen and returned home.
Cheng Yunzhi shook his head when he saw these pulse cases and medication, "It's just a pulse case. This medication is too gentle and conservative, and he obviously dared not take risks. This golden ointment is so stubborn and strong, but they dare not use strong medicine. How can it be effective?"
Bo Ruoyou's eyes turned, "The same goes for the headmaster. The doctors of the Imperial Hospital dare not take responsibility this time. It was a drag on the word. If this continues, the patients in the city will either cause trouble or suffer from injuries or die. It is really heartbreaking."
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 whispered: "If my grandfather was in power, he would definitely not be as good as he is now."
Cheng Yunzhi looked suffocated and sighed for a moment, "It's a pity that the Cheng family no longer exists. Once the emperor is still a minister, let alone the small Imperial Hospital, it only makes the people who have high expectations for them."
Bo Ruoyou looked at Cheng Yun's expression carefully, and saw that he was very angry in his eyebrows and eyes, so he continued: "The adoptive father's method is probably the only one that can be effective at the moment. Has the adoptive father ever thought about implementing this method?"
Cheng Yunzhi was slightly stunned, but turned his eyes to look out the window, "I never hide it privately. Young Master Xiao Ming also knows this method. If he had the will, he would tell his father and then let the imperial doctor follow it."
Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "Young Master Ming knows that he will not use the method he thought of to compete for merit. In addition, others may not understand this method. Because he is not fully sure, he dare not use it, but his adoptive father is different."
Cheng Yunyi didn't say anything, but his eyes were dark and light, as if he had recalled the old things. Bo Ruoyou said again: "Have you ever thought that the serious crimes that the Cheng family had been punished back then were wronged. If one day he could make the Cheng family ordinary and return the Cheng family's reputation..."
Cheng Yunzhi looked at Bo Ruoyou. She did not get involved in the court, and she was also the one she heard about back then. How could she dare to speak out to rehabilitate? After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Yunzhi asked: "Is this what the marquis said to you?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Bo Ruoyou had to admit it. Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "It's not that easy?"
Bo Ruoyou's eyes lit up, and Cheng Yun's tone was not repulsive. It was obvious that he had thought about this, but it was very difficult, so he never seriously considered it. Bo Ruoyou said, "But Ruoyou's method of detoxification is really useful, and everything will be very different."
Cheng Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, "Let your adoptive father think about it."
Bo Ruoyou quickly responded.
...
Lin Zhao returned from the yamen. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw two carriages parked outside the door. He recognized it at a glance as Bo's frame and quickly walked into the door. When he arrived at the main courtyard, he saw Bo Yixuan and his son and Bo Yixian and his daughter. Seeing him back, Hu was quite enthusiastic. When Lin Zhao saw the favor, Lin Huai ordered him to take Bo Yixian and his sister to the flower hall. Obviously, the elders wanted to say some private words.
The three of them arrived at the flower hall. Bo Yixian's face was haggard. Bo Yixuan couldn't help asking Lin Zhao, "My uncle is really unsuccessful this time?"
Bo Yixian looked at Lin Zhao with a pale face. Lin Zhao felt a little reluctant, "What did my father say?"
Bo Yixuan sighed, "The Minister said he is not sure."
Lin Zhao also said: "The case is still in direct service. After they have investigated it clearly, they will determine who can be handed over to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. The details of the case will be in my father's hands. Therefore, my father said that he is not sure it is the truth."
Bo Yixuan frowned, "Even you don't know, can you only go to find Wu Zhaohou?"
Lin Zhao shook his head, "Mr. Wu Zhao, you don't have to think about it anymore. The Marquis has always been fair in his actions, not to mention that you, Bo, are not familiar with Marquis Wu Zhao. He even gave my father the face."
Bo Yixian said at this time: "We do not know Wu Zhaohou, but... my second sister is very familiar with Wu Zhaohou."
Lin Zhao did not want to go anywhere else after hearing this, frowned and said, "Did you go to find her? She just helped the Marquis examine the autopsy and did not have that much power. If the Marquis is unhappy, she can't afford it."
Bo Yixian smiled bitterly, "I did go to her mansion last time, but she didn't seem to take my father's affairs to heart. It's true that she has not been in the capital for many years and has no affection for us. It is indeed not necessary to ask her to help."
Bo Yixuan wanted to speak but stopped hearing this, but thought about Wei's previous explanation, so he didn't say anything.
Bo Yixian looked at him for a moment and seemed a little surprised that Bo Yixuan had never spoken for her, so she continued, "I didn't think of troubleing her, but I saw that the Marquis treat her very kindly in Zhongqin's mansion before, so I thought, if she spoke, she could ask whether it was safe or dangerous, but she didn't expect that she would not help."
If she had just mentioned it inadvertently before and wanted to make Lin Zhao think about it, then what she said now would be even more obvious. Lin Zhao frowned, "Because she had a great autopsy, the Marquis was very fond of her, which was also an appreciation of the consent of the mansion." After a pause, he comforted him again: "I met her in the Marquis' Mansion earlier, so I deliberately asked about this, but the Marquis is a person with clear distinction between public and private affairs. She was right to follow the Marquis as a matter of being cautious."
Bo Yixian's eyes turned red, "But they are all Bo's. It's really heartbreaking that she is unwilling to help her."
At the beginning, he said that Bo Ruoyou didn't grow up in the capital, so it was not right for them to go to find her, but the more he said, the more he was becoming more and more resentful. Lin Zhao was a little confused for a moment. Is she strange or not?
However, seeing her red eyes, he had to say, "It's impossible now. All the civil and military officials in the court are waiting for the intentions of His Majesty and the Marquis. Even if the uncle will be affected this time, he will not be punished to death."
Bo Yixian's eyes turned redder, "What Brother Zhao means is that my father will definitely be deprived of his official position this time?"
Bo Jingqian is the pillar of Bo. If he is convicted and lost his official position or even goes to jail, then Bo's face has plummeted, so how dare he say that he is among the aristocratic families in the future?
Speaking of this, Lin Zhao sighed, "It's possible."
Bo Yixian felt that his eyes were dark and he almost couldn't stand steadily. Lin Zhao sighed again, "There are many officials in prison this time, and it is impossible to be lighter. Everyone is full of soldiers. You have been running around this month and you should have guessed a few points, but don't worry, whether it is my father or me, I will protect the uncle, at least not let the false dirty water pour on him."
Lin Zhao's promise was sincere, but Bo Yixian thought that the Bo family would decline and even become a sinful clan, and her heart seemed to be fried. She looked up at Lin Zhao. If that was true, she would become less worthy of Lin Zhao.
"Brother Zhao, is there no way to do it?"
Lin Zhao looked at Bo Yixuan, "If you don't believe it, ask Yixuan. This matter has come to Your Majesty, let alone the widespread connection behind it."
Bo Yixuan is a scholar after all, and he has more knowledge than Bo Yixian. He is not good-looking in appearance, but he also knows that this matter is not something that the Lin family can turn the tide. "Sister, don't make things difficult for Lin Zhao. This matter... no one can help."
Bo Yixian closed her eyes and said bitterly: "The person who can help is not willing to help."
Lin Zhao smiled bitterly, "Yixian, my father and I really care about this."
"Brother Zhao, I'm not talking about you...I...I mean the second sister." Bo Yixian's eyes flashed and she said in a difficult situation: "That day outside the Zhongqin Bo Mansion, I saw that the Marquis had a close relationship with her. She was a little girl, but she could be appreciated by the Marquis. Even if she could take a mortal, can't she find a man who can take a mortal in a mortal in a person like Wu Zhao?"
When Bo Yixuan heard this, his face changed. He glanced at Lin Zhao and said quickly: "Sister, don't talk nonsense."
Although Bo Yixian also told him this, Lin Zhao had not married her yet and was still a man. It would be harmful to Lin Zhao's behavior to the Bo family. He really didn't expect Bo Yixian to open this.
Lin Zhao even tightened his brows, "What do you mean? Are you saying that the Marquis is right... and has other thoughts about the second sister?"
At this time, Lin Zhao didn't know whether to protect Huo Weilou or Bo Ruoyou, and said unhappy: "The Marquis's clear distinction between public and private affairs is not what you think. The second sister's autopsy technique is also quite clever. After gaining the trust of the Marquis, the Marquis will naturally use her. I have known the Marquis for many years and have also seen the Second Sister help the Marquis solve the case in Luozhou. Don't say that to them like this."
Bo Yixian didn't know what she was thinking. She was anxious and desperate. She noticed that Lin Zhao was protecting Bo Ruoyou, so she wanted to tell Lin Zhao more and more about this. However, she didn't expect that Lin Zhao would actually trust the two people so decisively. She couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "But that was what I saw with my own eyes. I saw Wu Zhaohou helping his second sister to get on the carriage. Wu Zhaohou was so arrogant and his second sister was beautiful again. What Wei Jun also saw that day was not because I slandered them."
Lin Zhao was speechless for a moment. Bo Yixian said so sincerely, and said that Wei Jun also saw it, which was not like a false statement. Based on his understanding, how could Huo Weilou be a person who would be merciful in the fragrance and jade? It was almost the same for Huo Qinghong to have this trip.
Could it be that Huo Weilou really has other thoughts about Bo Ruoyou?
To be continued...
