Chapter 198 Ten Flowers 12

There was another heavy snow at night. Bo Ruoyou woke up in the morning, and the snow outside the window was still rustling. She got up to change her clothes, and when she walked to the warm-house desk, she paused.

There were words on the newly folded paper boat last night.

Bo Ruoyou stood for a while, turned around and walked towards the door. As soon as he opened the door, the biting cold wind came towards him. The bluestone slabs in the garden were covered with snow, and the eaves of the house were all white and white. Bo Ruoyou turned around and took an umbrella to go to the front yard.

It is now mid-twelfth lunar month, and the end of the year is approaching. Cheng Yunzhi not only needs to prepare a dowry for Bo Ruoyou, but also needs to prepare New Year's goods. Bo Ruoyou is about to get married after the New Year, which is the last year she stayed at home.

The house was cleaned up and the courtyard was replaced with new lanterns. On the long street outside, you could occasionally hear the laughter and firecrackers of children. The atmosphere of the New Year became stronger and stronger. Bo Ruoyou looked at the rustling snow outside the window and was fascinated.

After breakfast, Bo Ruoyou took a carriage to Wuzhao Hou Mansion. As soon as he entered the Hou Mansion, he heard that there were guests in the mansion. She was hesitating. Eunuch Fu came out and smiled and said, "It's Mr. Lin. The Marquis and Mr. Lin knew that Youyou was coming and waited for you to go to the study to talk."

Bo Ruoyou had to go to the study room. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard the sound of Lin Huai inside.

"Your Majesty is the most taboo thing about these. When the late emperor was still alive, there was a witchcraft disaster in the court. After Your Majesty ascended the throne, there was another rebellion in the White Lotus Sect in the northwest. This anger was expected. Now there is only half a month before the New Year. Is the Marquis sure?"

Bo Ruoyou stopped and did not go inward. He only looked at Eunuch Fu suspiciously. Eunuch Fu sighed and said softly: "This case was reported to Your Majesty. Your Majesty asked the Marquis to investigate the case before the New Year. How could it be too late? I think Your Majesty just doesn't want the Marquis to have a good New Year."

"Taichang Temple is the most close yamen among the five temples to the royal family. That's great. Wang Qingfu came to custody and robbed himself. He was a third-rank compound in the court, but he was related to those evil and evil factions who were not clean. His Majesty appreciated him back then, and now he was so angry-"

Lin Huai was still sighing, but Huo Weilou's eyes fell to the door, "It's cold outside, why don't you come in?"

Lin Huai didn't know who Huo Weilou was talking to, so he heard the door creaking and opened. Bo Ruoyou walked in with a cold air in a cloak of moon-white embroidered bamboo. He hurriedly smiled, but Huo Weilou stood up to meet him.

"Marty, Uncle Lin——"

In front of Lin Huai, Bo Ruoyou became blessed with good manners. Huo Weilou helped her. Bo Ruoyou untied the cloak and tied it aside. He took it and hung it aside. His movements were intimate and natural, flowing water, making Lin Huai shocked.

After leaving his seat, Lin Huai couldn't help but care about Bo Ruoyou, "I heard that Youyou was a little sick a while ago?"

Of course, Lin Huai didn't know what Bo Ruoyou was. Bo Ruoyou just dealt with it. Although she didn't interrupt, when she sat there, Huo Weilou obviously had less thoughts on matters. Lin Huai stood up and left with tactfulness.

After seeing Lin Huai off, Huo Weilou turned around and held Bo Ruoyou in his hand, "It's so snowing, I'd say I'll go to Chengzhai to see you in the afternoon."

Bo Ruoyou asked, "I was worried about Mr. Ming's arrangement in my heart, so I came over to check it out. Is there any news?"

Holding her seat, Huo Wei said, "I sent someone to say that the house has been found and is outside the city. It only takes two days to arrange the scenery. Don't worry, it's time to celebrate the New Year, and it's okay to go there after the New Year."

Bo Ruoyou's heart was naturally covered with haze, but this method was dangerous and no one knew what would happen then. If there was anything wrong with her, Cheng Yunzhi would definitely not be able to hide it. So she decided to ask about the case of Buddha Bao.

"Wang Qingfu was able to take the scientific trial and stay in the capital. The then head of the Ministry of Personnel may have helped. This person had retired and returned home. Yue Mingquan's side, the person who helped him at the time, was likely the deputy commander of the Zhenxi Army. These two people have one thing in common, both of them are from Huai'an."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes moved slightly, "Can you say that the person behind Wang Qingfu is one of them?"

Huo Weilou shook his head, "It's not very similar. Zhao Qianshan, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, had only become the Minister of Personnel before returning home by returning home. Because he was from a poor family, he was a young fan in the court. He can be regarded as a Qingliu faction and has not been stigmatized for many years. Later, when he was old, he retired and returned home, unlike anyone who asked for anything to ask for."

Bo Ruoyou understood that most people who believe in these evil sects had something to ask for, but they could not get it, and then they would become possessed by the devil. At this time, Huo Weilou continued: "As for Yuanjie, he is still in the army and his family is in the capital. I don't think they are the people behind Wang Qingfu, but they most probably have some relationship with that person."

After Huo Weilou finished speaking, he looked thoughtful and seemed to be in a question. Bo Ruoyou asked: "Is there any clue to the search for the palace servants and the origin of the fake Buddha treasure before?"

Huo Wei said: "Duo Shou died in Wang Qingfu's mansion. Two of the imperial guards are unknown. They are still being investigated. As for the fake Buddha treasure, even if it is fake, its carving craftsmanship is extraordinary. I have been asked to see the craftsmen in the capital. There are many statements. It is probably not easy to find the craftsmen who made this Buddha treasure back then."

These verifications are like looking for needles in a haystack. Bo Ruoyou knew it was not a day or night. "How could your Majesty make the Marquis have to find out before the New Year?"

Huo Weilou laughed, "Your Majesty is unwilling to forgive him. If there is no progress, it will not be possible."

Just as he was talking, Eunuch Fu knocked on the door with a smile. When he came in, he saw a brocade box in his hand, "Mr. Marquis, the Imperial Heaven Supervision has sent you and Youyou's wedding Ji Wen."

Huo Weilou took the brocade box and opened it and saw a thin book of red cloud patterns inside. It was the auspicious text to be read at the wedding ceremony on the day of the wedding. Therefore, the wedding date was obtained by the Imperial Heavenly Prison. Therefore, it was nothing more than a good day, a god of destiny, and a good marriage of gold and jade. Even if we knew that it was the Imperial Heavenly Prison that was showing off the favor of praise, Huo Weilou felt quite pleasing to the eye.

Eunuch Fu even laughed and said, "Although the Marquis thinks that the days are a little longer, this day is the best day for the whole year next year. I just heard from the people of the Imperial Heavenly Prison that that day was three yang days that were rarely encountered in a hundred years. In addition, the hexagrams measured by the divination are all very good, and it is the best day."

Bo Ruoyou was also watching that Jiwen. He was also happy when he heard this, but she was puzzled by the words of the Three Yangs, "Why is the Three Yangs?"

Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "It is also the saying of their sorcerers. Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, Ren is Yang, and Zi in the twelve earthly branches, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, Xu is Yang, and this is the saying of Yang year, Yang month, Yang day, Yang time. It is said that the four Yangs are extremely rare to encounter, and the three Yangs also need one Jiazi to appear once. What's wrong with Youyou?"

Eunuch Fu said happily, but the smile on Bo Ruoyou's face was replaced solemnly. Huo Weilou didn't care about these things. When he heard this, he saw Bo Ruoyou frowned.

Bo Ruoyou looked at Huo Weilou, "I suddenly thought of the birth dates of those children."

Bo Ruoyou looked at the files of several cases several times, as if he was memorizing it. Although she was looking at the details of the incident and the autopsy when she was looking at it, the birth dates of several children were recorded, and she would always glance at it. She didn't understand the yin and yang before, and now, with such a clear-cut thought, Eunuch Fu immediately evoked her vigilance.

"If I remember well, except Wen Jin, the other five children, including my younger brother, all have three Yangs of birth." She said after saying that when Li Shen gave his confession, he said that he would only choose the sons of wealthy families, because he thought that the sons of wealthy families had a good fortune and did not sound strange at the time, but he was a Taoist priest. Isn't that a hell of such a sloppy? Even if the children of wealthy families have little fortunes and a shallow fortune."

Huo Weilou frowned, "But how did he, a little Taoist priest, know the birth dates and horoscopes of so many young masters?"

Li Shen was not a Taoist priest who could serve as a portal in Feiyun Temple. When he was put into the capital, he was just a minion. Although these families were more or less involved with Feiyun Temple, if they had not asked the children for their signatures in the Taoist temple, they would be difficult for the Taoist priests to ask about the birthday of the young masters.

Bo Ruoyou's heartbeat was very fast, "I felt that his evidence was a bit far-fetched before, and there was no way to explain it now. And I had to specifically select these children with special birthdays. Of course, I had to investigate more children. Where did Li Shen have this ability?"

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment and ordered Eunuch Fu, "Call Wu Xiang."

Eunuch Fu should have been so quick that he ordered the attendants of the Hou Mansion to go to Jingzhaoyi Yamen, but he did not expect that this trip not only called Wu Xiang, but Huo Qinghong also followed him. In the past two days, he and Wu Xiang asked the pilgrims who had worshipped in Feiyun Temple, and they worked very hard.

As soon as he saw Wu Xiang, Bo Ruoyou first asked about his discovery. Wu Xiang was stunned when he heard it, "Is there such a coincidence?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "If it's all like this, it's not a coincidence. Now I'm going to send someone to Feiyun Temple to ask if these families have done rituals and sought runes in the Temple, just in case."

Bo Ruoyou made this arrangement in order to be rigorous, but even if he really asked the Taoist temple to know the birth date of several children, Li Shen had not mentioned it in his confession, so he was already a huge doubt. When Wu Xiang left, Huo Qinghong sighed and said, "I ran for three days and found nothing. It is common for these aristocratic families to add some incense and oil to the Taoist temple. I have never seen anyone strange."

"The case is not that easy to solve, and it is often futile." Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou after speaking, "You just said that only Wen Jin's birthday is not the Sanyang?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "Yes, only he is not--"

Her eyes were full of contemplation, "Why is this last one not? There are few auspicious days for Sanyang, and there are naturally few children with Sanyang's birthday. Li Shen knew that he was terminally ill, so he made a choice casually?"

Huo Weilou could not answer this question, so Huo Qinghong looked even more confused. Wu Xiang left the city to Feiyunguan to investigate, and he didn't return to Beijing until the beginning of night. He entered the Marquis' Mansion with the wind and snow, and his cheeks were red when he entered the door.

"Mr. Marquis, my subordinates asked very carefully. Only the only one in Feiyunguan had a period of worship. At that time, they asked for signing for the two young masters in the family. Therefore, they knew the birth date of this child. As for others, they occasionally went to Feiyunguan, or were implicated in the temple, and they did not know their birth dates or horoscopes."

After Wu Xiang finished speaking panting, he held the hot tea served by the servant and poured it into a meal, while Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou were both silent.

After the case was finalized, it continued to change. It was first involved in the case of theft of Fobao. Now, there are such strange mistakes and omissions. Li Shen confessed to all crimes and was calm and contented. As a sorcerer, he even admitted to murder, so it was impossible for him to lie on such an important motive for choice.

After thinking about it, all the weirdness in Li Shen seemed to point to a possibility. Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou spoke almost at the same time.

"There is more than Li Shen."
