Chapter 162 Eight Treasures Makeup 16

With Huo Weilou here, Emperor Jianhe is really kind and kind like an elder, but Huacan bright lamp brings the dragon pattern on his crown garment with a hideous and ferocious heart. Bo Ruoyou holds his heart, and he will never be so arrogant.

She answered Emperor Jianhe several questions, and then heard Huo Weilou's smile and his words were so presumptuous that he was respectful, which made Emperor Jianhe laugh and scold Bo. Finally, Emperor Jianhe sighed and said, "The will has been drawn up. According to your wishes, the county lord will not fall on Bo."

Emperor Jianhe said again: "Your mother is sick and has suffered a lot over the years. Although you were young and joined the army, I understand that you have made great achievements, but I understand that now you are going to get married. I only hope that you will be happy and peaceful in the future. When I chose her title, I chose the word "And" and I hope you will understand my uncle's efforts. As for the wedding date, the Imperial Heaven Supervision has set it on the third day of the second month next year, which is an excellent day."

Whether he really wishes him a smooth and smooth life after marriage or wants to make him be content with his own affairs, it is not important to Huo Weilou. He responded frankly, but Bo Ruoyou was very surprised. She didn't expect that there was a saying of enthronement.

Emperor Jianhe did not keep them for much, Huo Weilou took her to thank him, and then retreated from the Imperial Palace.

The night wind carried the coldness of early winter, and the endless eaves of the palace were covered with moonlight, as if they were frost-colored. Huo Weilou still held Bo Ruoyou's hand, rubbing her fingertips on the back of her hand, and her steps were extremely light.

"Although the wedding date is a little late, you will do a ceremony for your father and mother next month, and it is not advisable to get married. The next two months are enough to prepare well, and it's okay for those around you. This time you get married, you should follow the etiquette."

When Huo Weilou did not carefully plan the marriage, he just wanted to marry her back to the Marquis's mansion as soon as possible. But now, he was afraid that something was wrong to make her dislike her, or that she was criticized. He rarely had such a cautious time.

After passing Emperor Jianhe, Bo Ruoyou's mood was slightly relaxed. This was her first time entering the palace. With this one, she knew how strict and depressed the palace was, and she saw that the emperor's mind was unpredictable. She became more and more aware of Huo Weilou's situation. She knew it was difficult for him. She also heard that he remembered to do a ritual on the day of the death anniversary for his father and mother. She was both distressed and moved.

She replied softly, "Everyone will follow the arrangements of the marquis."

Her eyes were full of trust, calm and intimidating. Huo Weilou looked at him and couldn't help but feel relieved. The tragedy of his father and mother arose because of marriage. He watched them commit suicide and the other was crazy. In the past twenty years, he had never thought that one day there would be such a person who would make him want to marry, until he wanted to protect her under his wings without any storm.

The two walked out of the palace gate and Huo Weilou sent her home.

The carriage headed towards Changshoufang, Huo Weilou held her hand and placed it on his lips to kiss it, leaving the cold and impatient Miyagi far behind.

Cheng Yunzhi was waiting at home alone. Bo Ruoyou thought to himself that he must be worried. When he returned home, Cheng Yunzhi was so anxious that he kept standing in the atrium without moving. Seeing that Huo Weilou was sending Bo Ruoyou back, Cheng Yunzhi was quite surprised.

Bo Ruoyou entered the palace to rescue her. Cheng Yunzhi suddenly realized that Huo Weilou said: "The order will be sent to the mansion tomorrow. Your Majesty will be named Youyou as the county lord. The wedding date is scheduled on the third day of the second month after the New Year. I will order Fu'an to come tomorrow. If you have anything to do, just order Fu'an to do it. It's too early and there is no need to hurry."

Cheng Yunzhi did not expect that Huo Weilou could actually allow Emperor Jianhe to be appointed as the county lord of Bo Ruoyou. You must know that Bo Ruoyou's identity would not be able to receive this honor no matter what. Huo Weilou did not elaborate on his words, and his appearance was as usual, as if he was not worth mentioning. Cheng Yunzhi looked at him like this, and his last concern in his heart disappeared.

"Okay, the Marquis is a hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a hero in the Northern Army. I am relieved to hand over Youyou to the Marquis. Her father and mother will be relieved when she sees it in the Spirit of Heaven."

Huo Weilou said solemnly: "I will not let you down."

It was too late, and Huo Weilou said goodbye before leaving. As soon as he left, Cheng Yunzhi said happily: "Mr. Marquis is really considerate. He will be the county magistrate. Others will not give you any advice on you because of his background. Even if it is going on in the future, you will have a way out. He wants us to have no worries."

Bo Ruoyou understood Huo Weilou's intention in the Imperial Palace. At first, he frightened her when he said the words of getting married. But now everything is wrong. She thought that Huo Weilou is actually a very gentle person, but it is hard for ordinary people to see it. He never despises it. Whenever he thinks that it is her who enjoys his tenderness alone, her heart will jump up irresistibly.

The next morning, the palace's will arrived at the Cheng family in a great momentum. When Bo Ruoyou saw the imperial edict, he realized what the honor that Emperor Jianhe said did not fall on Bo's family.

The imperial edict said that the title of Bo Ruoyou was the county lord because Cheng Yun removed the poison of gold ointment, which was like a god and Buddha living in the world, saving all people from water and fire, and to show the emperor's kindness, he appointed his adopted daughter as the county lord, and gave him the marriage to the Marquis of Wu Zhao.

As soon as this imperial edict was issued, the entire capital was shocked. The emperor had rehabilitated the Cheng family as a reward. Unexpectedly, there was a second time now. People never expected that the emperor would have decided to make the marriage of Wu Zhaohou this time!

Most of the neighbors in the Cheng family are official households. At this moment, no matter whether they have been fighting or not, they all come to congratulate them. Duke Huo and his wife took Huo Qinghong to Wuzhao Hou Mansion. Unexpectedly, Huo Weilou quietly got married.

When there was a lot of discussion outside, the news also reached the Lin family. When he heard what his servant said, Chu almost wondered that he had heard it wrong, "What did you say? Who is the county lord?"

"The second lady of the Bo family is Miss Ruoyou."

Chu opened his mouth wide, and the book in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. The maid continued, "Not only that, Your Majesty also gave marriage to Miss Ruoyou and Marquis Wu Zhao."

Chu's face was full of disbelief. After a long time, Lin Huai walked in from outside. Chu said quickly: "Master, have you heard of it? Your Majesty actually gave Youyou and Wu Zhaohou a marriage. What's going on?"

Lin Huai nodded, "I heard that, I really never thought... what else can this happen? Although Yunzhi made contributions to saving people, he rewarded them for the first time. It doesn't make sense that he will reward them again now. This is obviously done by the Marquis."

"How could Wu Zhaohou..."

The Chu family has never seen how Huo Weilou gets along with Bo Ruoyou, but Lin Huai has seen him in Luozhou. He is now full of fear, "I guess the Marquis had been interested in Youyou early in the morning, but we all think that he valued Youyou just because of the toll-in-law. Fortunately, fortunately, we did not mention asking Zhao'er to marry Youyou--"

At this point, Lin Huai said again: "The Marquis probably thought of Youyou's unusual origin, so he asked her for the position of county magistrate. Now that His Majesty has given her marriage, Youyou can be the wife of Wu Zhaohou in a legitimate way."

Chu also said: "Didn't the Marquis have ever been in mind the identity of Youyou Corps?"

Lin Huai shook her head, "The marquis's temperament cannot be compared with ordinary people. Youyou is a coroner. In the eyes of ordinary people, I only feel that being humble and inauspicious is not auspicious. But the marquis is afraid that she will appreciate her fearlessness and courage. However, it is still unexpected that she silently asks to be enthroned by the county lord and asks for marriage. It is indeed the style of the marquis' behavior-"

Lin Huai was very impressed when he said something, but Chu felt a little sour in his heart. Thinking of Lin Zhao's sad expression, he began to regret it secretly. However, now that His Majesty personally gave the marriage, there is no change, and who dared to rob the person Wu Zhao liked?

Lin Huai didn't understand her thoughts and urged: "If you get better, get up and clean up. For such a happy event, we must come to congratulate each other-"

Just because she was sad, she wanted to come to the door to congratulate her. Chu felt like she was suffering like Coptis chinensis. When she thought of Lin Zhao, she hurried to ask the servant, "Where is the young master?"

The attendant said, "Madam, don't worry, I told the young master early in the morning. The young master already knows it. Now I am in my yard."

The servant didn't know the inside story. Thinking of the Lin family waiting for Bo Ruoyou, she was very happy for Bo Ruoyou. Her joyful appearance made Chu feel sad again. Thinking that the servants would tell Lin Zhao about this as a happy event, they couldn't help but scold him, and then stood up reluctantly to change clothes and prepare gifts.

No matter how unwilling they were, the Chu family did not want to lose their courtesy. The Cheng family was rehabilitated. Bo Ruoyou was the wife of Wu Zhaohou who was for sure. How dare she be disrespectful? Not long after, the couple prepared gifts to go to the Cheng family. However, as soon as they went out, they saw Bo Yixian again.

Bo Yixian came to wait for a long time today. She wanted to wait for Lin Zhao, but she didn't want to wait for Lin Huai and his wife. When she saw the two elders, she hurriedly came forward with tears in her eyes to apologize. When Chu saw her, she felt a headache and said with a qi: "We are going to see Youyou, you can go back first. You stay outside our mansion all day, and it's not good."

Bo Yixian was shocked when he heard this, "Is there something wrong with my uncle and aunt going to see my second sister?"

Seeing Bo Yixian like this, Chu understood that she didn't know that Bo Ruoyou was given a marriage. Chu said a little aggrievedly: "Of course it's for the happy event, you will know soon."

Bo Yixian had already guessed that Lin Huai and his wife went to find Bo Ruoyou to be the daughter-in-law of the Lin family. When they heard this again, they felt even more thunderous. What kind of happy events are there besides the marriage of their children?

She told Lin Zhao about Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou, who wanted Lin Zhao to lose his mind, but she didn't expect that the two elders of the Lin family could do this. She was extremely sad and angry for a moment, and she felt that Lin Zhao had never told Lin Huai and his wife the truth at all.

She asked with red eyes: "Uncle and aunt, I want my second sister to marry Brother Zhao."

Lin Huai's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and immediately went to see pedestrians on the road in the distance, for fear that the words would be heard to the Wu Zhaohou Mansion and cause trouble. Seeing his expression, Bo Yixian felt that he had guessed it right.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, Aunt Bo Ruoyou is not worthy of Brother Zhao at all. You don't know how she is willing to be inferior to others. She is greedy for wealth and glory, and serves with sex. Even people like Wu Zhaohou dare to covet people. People like her who cannot see their identity clearly will only become laughing stocks in the future. Do you want Brother Zhao to marry such a person?"

Lin Huai and Chu looked at her like they saw a ghost. After Bo Yixian vented her anger, she realized that she saw that the two of them looked wrong. She felt inexplicably panic and continued: "What I said is true, uncle and aunt, she relied on her three-point appearance, how could Wu Zhaohou give her a title?"

The more she spoke, the louder she spoke, which had already caused pedestrians on the road to stop and looked at Lin Huai's fear of causing trouble, and his face turned red with anger, "Are you crazy? This is what you, a family-educated person, should say?"

Seeing that there were too many people around, Chu felt something was wrong. Thinking of Bo Yixian and his daughter making trouble at the Lin family, which caused countless gossip for the Lin family. After enduring many days, they also burst out with anger. "I think you are about to become a laughing stock in the capital. Your Majesty has already made Youyou the Lord of County Anning and married her to the Marquis. What is your identity? You are so angry here!"

Bo Yixian seemed to be knocked out by this bolt from the blue. She didn't react for a while, "What county lord? What marriage is granted? This... how is this possible..."

Chu sneered, "I think you should see clearly your identity. You have no doubt about your engagement with Zhaoer. Don't come to my Lin family to make trouble in the future. Otherwise, I will ask everyone in the capital to see who is willing to be humiliated!"

Chu lowered his voice, but this words still hit Bo Yixian like a whip. She tug Bo Yixian hard, pulled Lin Huai and left. Bo Yixian stood there, as if she fell into an ice cave. She would never believe that Bo Ruo had the honor of the county lord, and she did not believe that His Majesty would give Bo Ruoyou a marriage!

She hurriedly returned home in the carriage, eager to prove that what Chu said was fake, but as soon as she entered the Bo gate, she saw that Wei was ordering people to put the purchased gifts on the carriage. Wei looked happy. When she saw her, her smile faded, and then told the servants to be careful of the best jade ornaments, and not to be damaged.

"Second Aunt, whose house are you going to give gifts?"

"You are going to the Lin family again? You don't know yet. Our second lady was named Anning County Lord by His Majesty and was appointed as the marriage to Wu Zhaohou. The wedding date is scheduled for February next year. Now each family is going to congratulate you, so we should not be careless."

After Wei said this, she glanced at her, "But you and your mother don't have to bother you."

Bo Yixian's face was bloodless, looking at the generous gifts given by Wei, thinking jealously, why could Bo Ruoyou marry Wu Zhaohou and become the county lord, but she couldn't even keep her engagement with Lin Zhao?

"Impossible, does Your Majesty know her fierce destiny? She didn't live to be eighteen years old and even killed her whole family. How could Your Majesty let her marry Wu Zhaohou?!"

Wei also endured Bo Yixian for many days, and the disgust that could not be suppressed was revealed from her at this moment, "I advise you to be more at ease. If you are willing to go to the Lin family to make trouble, I will follow you. If you don't want Bo's face, I will also follow you. But if you dare to ruin your brother's future, I will definitely not be able to spare you!"

Wei glared at her, turned around and went out, changed into a smile and went to the Cheng family to congratulate him.

...

From noon, the visits between neighbors made Bo Ruoyou very troubled. She was a woman and it was not easy to meet guests outside, so she simply went to the yamen to avoid the noise.

The nobles of the aristocrats were well-informed, but not many people knew about this in the yamen. Bo Ruoyou often entered the yamen. When he asked, he heard that Wu Xiang had just returned from outside. She moved slightly in her heart and hurried to the inner hall. Sure enough, she saw Wu Xiang and a few people who were going out were resting inside.

Seeing Bo Ruoyou come, Wu Xiang stood up and said, "I wanted someone to invite you, but you came by yourself!"

Bo Ruoyou's eyes were slightly brighter, "Is there a clue?"

Wu Xiang nodded and said, "I went to Qianjia Village and didn't find Master Qian. I only found his relatives and asked about some things. Master Qian died early when he was young and became an orphan. Later, he was favored by others and learned some juggling tricks. I don't know who this benefactor is, but I guess it is probably Master Zhao."

"The villagers also said that Master Qian had gone back once twelve years ago. When he went back, he brought five people to the coffin of the dead, bought a piece of graveyard and gathered five graves. Later, he was injured in the village for more than half a year, and then disappeared. Three of them were burned back then, and three of them returned to the village. The villagers said that he had been away from home for many years and had no land in his hometown. Because he was unable to survive in the village, he left later."

"I have never returned here, but the villagers found that people went to worship the tombs every year. I have visited the cemetery. One of the owners of the tombs is Zhao. It is certain that they were the headmaster Zhao and the other four people who died. However, the villagers have never met the worshippers. After the death of the headmaster Zhao, there were only a few old friends left. It was not that there were Liu Qing and others. Liu Qing and the others were false, and now they were even more hiding. The murderer hid in the dark and had obvious targets. I suspect that the death of the headmaster Zhao and the others back then was strange, and the people seeking revenge were either Master Qian or other survivors."

After Wu Xiang finished speaking in anger, he picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip. Bo Ruoyou asked directly: "Maybe the autopsy was found?"

Wu Xiang wiped the corner of his lips and grinned, "It's worthy of being you! The autopsy needs to be explained to the adults. After all, I can't find Master Qian. We are going to dig someone's tomb privately, but they have been dead for many years, so what may be found."

"It's hard to say. In fact, when I was looking at the file, I was thinking that if there were any autopsy papers that year, I could also know whether the fire was an accident. Unfortunately, I had not kept the papers, or I had not found anything at all."

Wu Xiang held the knife on his waist and said, "I believe you, you can't say it well, you are sure. I'll go find an adult now."

Bo Ruoyou followed Wu Xiang to meet Sun Zhao.

When Sun Zhao heard that he wanted to take the yamen to dig someone's grave, his expression changed suddenly, "It's not good. If the Master Qian you mentioned is not the murderer, he found that Jingzhaoyi Yamen did such a bad thing and started to make trouble. We can't explain it at that time."

Wu Xiang started to analyze the pros and cons of this with a bitter face. He first talked about how the person who handled the case was dereliction of duty and did not leave a detailed verification certificate. Otherwise, he would not have to go to the wilderness to dig people's graves. He also said that the Hundred Bird Garden was the land of the Prince of Nan'an. If the case was dragged and found out, the Prince of Nan'an would go to the emperor and the yamen would be unable to explain it.

After talking for a while, Sun Zhao finally let go. Wu Xiang ran out happily to call someone. Sun Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou, stood up and bowed to her, "Congratulations to the county lord."

Bo Ruoyou knew that Sun Zhao had already known it. She said she was not afraid of it. Sun Zhao sighed again: "Today is a good day for the county lord. There is no reason why I went outside the city for a mortal exam today. And the journey is long, so I am afraid it will be late at night when I return to the city."

Bo Ruoyou laughed, "Your Majesty doesn't have to do this, but it makes me uncomfortable. I think you know why Your Majesty has enthroned me, and there will be no difference from the past."

Sun Zhao naturally understood that it was Huo Weilou's request. Seeing that Bo Ruoyou had no changes in the past, he felt that he admired him. Not long after, Bo Ruoyou followed Wu Xiang out of the city.

At this time, the sun was already west. The cemetery that Wu Xiang said was just northwest of Qianjia Town. They walked all the way. It was already dusk when they arrived at Qianjia Town. Bo Ruoyou was afraid that it would be difficult to take the autopsy, so he did not dare to delay touching the cemetery.

The cemetery was at the foot of a mountain and was not maintained around it. It was now deserted. Everyone stepped out of the artemisia and walked closer to see a few pine and cypresses covering the five graves.

The grave was also covered with artemisia, but there were still unburned incense candles in the wormwood. Wu Xiang pointed to the incense candle and said, "This color has not yet been destroyed. I guess someone has come to worship a few months ago. Maybe someone has come to Qingming Festival."

Bo Ruoyou also saw it, turned around and looked around, and said in confusion: "Master Qian left the village, but he was able to come to worship every year. It can be seen that it is not too far from here. Will it be in the capital?"

This statement added evidence, and Wu Xiang gave an order to dig a grave.

Although they had made up their minds to dig a grave to test the bones, the yamen operators felt quite rude before they took action. Everyone bowed first and then started digging the grave. Bo Ruoyou made the decision and digged the tomb of Master Zhao first.

The tomb was built quite strongly, and it took a lot of effort to dig out huge rocks and mounds. Before nightfall, the decaying fragments of the coffin were dug out. The yamen were extremely careful and for a moment, the bones buried in the soil were exposed.

Bo Ruoyou put on his hands and went up to help the Yamajor clean up the soil on the bones. The bones were buried for many years. The mud and gray matter layer were extremely thick, and they were afraid of damaging the bones. Everyone was very cautious. When the entire bones were exposed, the sky was already a little dim.

The others stepped back, Bo Ruoyou found a bristle brush and went to check the bones, brushing the dirt on the bones before he could see some of the original bones. Wu Xiang said, "There is no result in this time, so let others dig other graves. We will be busy tonight-"

He went to command everyone, and at this time, Bo Ruoyou suddenly spoke, "Head Captain--"

Before Wu Xiang could take two steps, he quickly turned around and saw Bo Ruoyou holding the skull of the dead in his hand. She held the skull in front of her eyes and was staring carefully at the forehead and side of the skull. Wu Xiang couldn't help asking, "Why? Is there any discovery so quickly?"

Bo Ruoyou looked at him, "If this is really the bone of Master Zhao, then he is most likely not dead in the fire back then."

When Wu Xiang heard this, he immediately stepped forward. When the others heard this, they surrounded him. Everyone suspected that the strange death of Master Zhao and others back then, but they didn't expect that they would discover it as soon as they saw the first skeleton.

Wu Xiang said anxiously: "What do you mean? If you didn't die from a fire, what were the deaths and injuries?"

Bo Ruoyou continued to brush the dust on the skull, "There are cracks on the skulls on both sides, including the forehead and forehead bones, and there are traces of bone cracks. Such scars can be left on the human skull. If it is injured before death, the deceased will undoubtedly die."
