Chapter 117 Six Flowers Flying 13(1/2)

It was getting late, and Huo Weilou was about to enter the palace to face the saint, Bo Ruoyou should say goodbye. He ordered someone to prepare a car frame and ordered the guards of the Hou Mansion to send Bo Ruoyou home.

The carriage set out from the gate of the Marquis' Mansion and headed towards Changxingfang. Bo Ruoyou was sitting in the carriage, and he couldn't help but worry. Huo Qinghong's poisoning was already deep and it was difficult to control himself at all. When the poison was released next time, he really didn't know what to do.

I was worried all the way, and when Bo Ruoyou came back to his senses at the door, he got off the carriage and thanked the guards, and knocked on the door again. Soon, footsteps came from the door. She thought it must be Zhou Liang who came to open the door, but when the door was opened, Bo Yixuan stood inside.

Bo Ruoyou had beautiful eyebrows, "Why are you here?"

Bo Yixuan glanced at Bo Ruoyou, then went to see the carriage and horse that were about to leave. The driving and the attendants who were escorting were all wearing the guards of the Wu Zhaohou Mansion. They could see their identity at a glance. He withdrew his gaze and sent Bo Ruoyou into the door.

Bo Yixuan lost the feeling of being as high as before today, but instead closed his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "My aunt, my father and mother, come and see you together."

Hearing the three words "Grand Aunt", Bo Ruoyou felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Bo Jingqian is now locked up, how could Hu have the leisure to visit them?

She was suspicious and walked inward. As soon as she walked outside the main room, she saw Hu in the main hall greeting her with red eyes, "Oh, Youyou is back--"

Mrs. Hu grabbed her hand intimately, "Where did you come back?"

Before Bo Ruoyou could speak, Bo Yixuan said, "The person who sent her back was a servant of Wu Zhaohou's mansion."

Hu's eyes lit up, "So Youyou is really working as a servant in front of Wu Zhaohou?"

Bo Ruoyou broke away, blessed his body to the elders, and said, "Please sit and talk." As she said, she went to see Cheng Yunzhi, and saw that Cheng Yunzhi's face was lukewarm.

Mrs. Hu sat down awkwardly and went to see Bo Jingli and his wife again. Bo Jingli and his wife looked reluctant but stopped, but they were a little uncomfortable. Bo Yixian was there, and she looked sad, and she wanted to say something but couldn't say anything. Bo Yixuan looked at these people and couldn't help but say, "Second sister, do you know something happened to the Bo family?"

Bo Ruoyou looked at them lightly, "Oh? What happened?"

Bo Yixuan said suspiciously: "Uncle he has angered anyone. Now he has been imprisoned in the heavenly prison. The person who captured the uncle is the embroidered clothes envoy. Since you are working in front of Wu Zhaohou, you don't know about this?"

Bo Ruoyou looked at him lightly, "I am just a coroner, how can I know such an important thing? And if the land of the Heavenly Prison is just an ordinary crime, I think I will not be able to enter the Heavenly Prison."

Bo Yixuan frowned for a moment, and his voice became louder, "What do you mean by this? My uncle is diligent and cautious as an official. Will he even violate the law?"

Bo Ruoyou blinked, "How can I understand me, just a woman? If you feel wronged, why don't you say it to Wu Zhaohou?"

Bo Yixuan was blocked by her and said to the point of being hoarse. Bo Ruo smiled, "What's wrong? Do you want me to tell you where the Wu Zhaohou Mansion is? My cousin is a seven-foot man, and he is well-read in poetry and books. He thinks he has both the law and the mind is high in righteousness. He has no reason to be wronged. He doesn't shout for justice at Wu Zhaohou, but he comes to shout at me."

Bo Yixuan's face showed a red look, "You..."

At this time, Hu said with red eyes: "Youyou, don't blame your brother. This is really an urgent matter. We... we really don't know what to do. We have always been domineering and unreasonable in our actions. We still don't know what happened. We have no one to speak to Wu Zhaohou, so we have to ask you for help-"

"The eldest aunt looked down upon me." Bo Ruoyou looked cold, "Zhishou His Majesty Zhi's hand in his hands. If it is really a trivial matter, there is no need to use Zhi'shou to take people. Even if I can speak in front of Wu Zhaohou, I will definitely not be able to control such a thing."

Bo Yixian looked up at Bo Ruoyou, "But last time I saw Wu Zhaohou and his second sister outside the Zhongqin Bo Mansion, I felt that Wu Zhaohou treated his second sister very kindly. If the second sister spoke, at least she could understand why her father was detained. Maybe the second sister could help us?"

Bo Ruoyou looked at Bo Yixian calmly. She was worried on her face, but there was a little mockery in her eyes, and the words seemed to be saying that she had an ambiguous journey with Huo Weilou.

Bo Yixian's face was sad, and this statement was indeed a bit mysterious, but when Bo Ruo looked at her quietly, her gentle eyebrows and eyes turned a look of awesomeness, which made her look a little guilty.

Bo Ruoyou felt sighing, and his tone became even colder, "Wu Zhaohou is a person with clear distinction between public and private affairs, and he dared not overestimate the matter if he followed him."

After a slight pause, Bo Ruoyou said, "Why don't my cousin come to me to ask Uncle Lin for help? Uncle Lin's minister is about to be promoted to the Minister of Justice. He has known Wu Zhaohou for many years. He wants to speak the most useful thing."

When Bo Yixian heard this, his face turned pale. Hu couldn't help but say, "Of course we have found it, and from Lin, I learned that you have also helped Wu Zhaohou do a lot of errands..."

Hu was anxious, and his face was slightly hot after he finished speaking. Although Lin agreed to help inquire, he did not find any results in the end. In Hu's opinion, Lin did not do his best at all, which made Lin seem quite uneasy about them and was quite disappointing.

Bo Ruoyou had already guessed that they learned from Lin. As a rude servant, they didn't know how despised her in their hearts, so how could she think she could say something to Huo Weilou?

Although Bo Yixian had a glimpse that day, only when Lin learned from the mouth that she had a connection with Huo Weilou, would he come to her so surely.

But these people are probably used to being arrogant and they don’t look like asking for help. Bo Ruoyou looked at the mother and daughter and glanced at Bo Yixuan again. There was no expression on his face. But Hu said, “Mr. Lin has his own responsibilities, so it’s not easy to ask more questions, but Youyou, you are different. You are a daughter’s family and are not a serious tolerance. It’s nothing to ask more questions—”

"So, my aunt made me know that Wu Zhaohou hates people who are not divided by public and private affairs, but she still angers him?" She looked at Hu mockingly. Hu hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "Of course not...but if something happened to your uncle, Bo's bento is really going to decline, and we have no choice."

Seeing that Bo Ruoyou was unmoved, Bo Yixuan couldn't help but say, "Second sister, we are all a family. No matter what, you have to try it. If it really doesn't work, we won't force you, let alone you are a coroner, and you will also help the Marquis examine the autopsy this time? Do you have no idea about the inside story?"

"A family..." Bo Ruoyoutan smiled, "What can I do if Mr. Lin has no choice? Even if I help with the autopsy, I will say what should be said, and I will have my own measure of what should not be said."

As she said that, her eyes were narrow and narrow, "Did my cousin come here today? Did he forget what he said to me a few days ago?"

She looked cold, and the others were stunned. They didn't know what Bo Yixuan said. Bo Yixuan also remembered what he said that day, and his face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed that he couldn't come to Taiwan.

Bo Ruoyou smiled slightly, "My cousin has been reading books for so many years. It is amazing when he should be noble and when he should be down, it is really amazing. If I were you, I would never come to my door today if I could say that day."

Bo Yixuan's face turned red like blood, and he was a little embarrassed and annoyed for a moment. But Bo Ruoyou ignored him and said directly: "If the uncle is innocent, the matter will be released sooner or later after the matter is investigated. But if he is guilty, then no matter how he is punished, it should be. It's too late. If you come to my house just for this, please come back."

Bo Yixuan wanted to say something else, but the second wife Wei coughed lightly and said, "What am I talking about? Youyou is not going to make things difficult for her. Today we are bothering me. Sister-in-law, let's go back first."

Mrs. Hu was very unwilling to accept it. She looked at Cheng Yunzhi and then at Bo Ruoyou. Seeing that both father and daughter were not indifferent, she felt like they were slapped on the face. When she saw Bo Jingli's face was in a difficult mood, she had to stand up stiffly, "Since that's the case, then we'll go back first-"

Cheng Yun's way: "Zhou Liang, give away guests."

Zhou Liang responded, Bo Yixian quickly stood up and helped Hu leave. Bo Yixuan wanted to speak but stopped, but Wei spoke to Cheng Yunzhi very kindly, "I have been desperate these days, otherwise I wouldn't have come here."

Cheng Yunzhi said indifferently: "It's nothing, good people will be rewarded, so don't worry too much."

Wei's expression stopped, and he didn't say anything more. He glanced at Bo Jingli, then grabbed Bo Yixuan and walked out. The group left Cheng's house. As soon as the door closed, Hu turned around and glared, "I'm really ruthless and unrighteous, and I'm not willing to do anything! She did a good job when she didn't come back. Now something happened to the Bo family. If something happened to the master, he must have been defeated!"

Wei raised his eyebrows and said nothing. When the two houses got on the carriage separately, Wei looked at Bo Yixuan, "Although the one who had the accident was your uncle, we have thought about all the ways we can think of. Even I went back to ask for favors from my parents' home, but there was still no way. Why are you, a junior, always anxious?"

Bo Yixuan was dissatisfied, "What's wrong with me, my mother?"

The carriage had already started to move, and Wei turned around and looked at Cheng Zhai's direction, "How did Xian'er tell you?"

Bo Yixuan pursed his lips slightly, "She...she said that she had seen Wu Zhaohou treat her second sister very well. Even if she got on the carriage, Wu Zhaohou helped her up with her, so I think the second sister can help..."

Wei smiled, "It's different if you can help me or not."

Bo Yixuan wanted to speak but stopped. Wei looked at Bo Yixuan, then looked at Bo Jingli, and snorted, "You father and son are willing to be good people, so let's not be your father. You protect Xian'er all day long. She walks around the Lin family and wants to take you to cover up. Now that you are coming to the Cheng family, you must first urge you in front of you. You are the ones who want others to say."

"Ke Xian'er is my real sister, I..."

"Speaking of this, Youyou is also your relative's cousin." Wei said.

Bo Yixuan frowned, "But she has not grown up in the capital since she was a child, so it's different."

Wei smiled again, "You also know that she didn't grow up in the capital. You have no friendship with her. My sister-in-law and Yixian have no friendship with her. They don't treat her as their family members on weekdays. If something happens, they will be the same as the family. There is no such reason."

Bo Yixuan's face was red and red, "Mother, why do you say that too?"

Wei shook his head, "I don't grow up in the capital, so I don't pity her, but we can do our best to do the big house this time, but don't worry about this. Look at your aunt's words. My parents didn't help me, and she was blamed. She was a person who didn't remember everyone's favor."

At this point, Wei smiled, "I'm still married to the Lin family for so many years. Mr. Lin is so high and has a lot of friendship with Wu Zhaohou, but I haven't asked anything yet? Perhaps it's not because I haven't asked anything, but this matter is of great importance and people won't tell her a wife."

Wei stared at Bo Yixuan, "What did you think of?"

A little panic appeared in Bo Yixuan's eyes, "Did uncle really do something?"

Wei sighed, "I just hope it's not a big deal of scouting and extermination of the family. What's more important is that I'm afraid this incident will delay your test for fame and fortune. There is nothing more important in our family than your future. Not to mention whether the child of Youyou is valued by Marquis Wu Zhao, we should be more cautious just by speaking in front of Marquis Wu Zhao."

At this point, Wei frowned, "Have you come to Youyou a few days ago?"

Bo Yixuan nodded, and Wei asked again, "What did you say?"

Bo Yixuan's face turned blood again, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how everyone knew about her doing coroner. When she went to Huiwen that day, she happened to be asked about it. Everyone said that the daughter of the Bo family actually went to be coroner, and her words were quite mocked. I... I came to tell her not to be coronerer, and the Bo family's style was buried."

Wei's brows became tighter and tighter, "No wonder, she shouldn't have acted as a coroner, but Wu Zhaohou valued her, and she was beautiful again, if..."

In this way, even Wei did not dare to believe this possibility. Bo Yixuan even said: "I know what my mother is thinking. My second sister doesn't want the marriage of the Lin family. I'm afraid she has a crush on the Marquis Wu Zhao Mansion. But what is Wu Zhao Mansion? Not to mention her, even Yixian can't enter. And now she is a coroner, so it's even more impossible."

Wei raised his eyebrows, "What does Ke Xian'er mean to you?"

Bo Yixuan touched his nose, "I'm afraid that Marquis Wu Zhao took a fancy to the beauty of his second sister. As for Marquis Wu Zhao's position, it is probably impossible."

Wei hesitated for a moment, "Be careful. From tomorrow on, you can stay at home and study hard. Don't listen to Xian'er's words. No one can help with this matter, they can only depend on God's will."

In Cheng's house, Bo Ruoyou breathed helplessly, "Entertainment Father, are they disrespectful to you?"

Cheng Yunzhi smiled and shook his head, "No, they went to Lin Mansion for a few days in a row, and Lin Huai probably had no choice but to ask them if they had ever come to ask you. Only then did they realize that you were helping Wu Zhaohou do the job. Youyou, you are really angry. Just now, you didn't even speak, so you snatched them away."

I thought Bo Ruoyou was still going to be annoyed, but she didn't expect that she would definitely say, "Because I am really anxious today, I don't want to be silly with them, and it is impossible for me to go to the marquis to ask seriously. On the day my uncle was detained, the marquis had already told me about this. This was the marquis' good intention. This time, I was very serious and I could not lose my sense of responsibility."

She finished speaking very quickly and asked again: "Entertainment Father, do you know about the golden ointment?"

Cheng Yunzhi also saw that she was a little upset today. After hearing this question, he knew where he was anxious, "Golden ointment?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded quickly, "After the New Year, a poisonous substance was circulated in the capital city, called golden ointment. This substance is addictive. The case in the brothel I mentioned earlier was not out of control because of the charming fragrance. Later, we found out that he was poisoned by the golden ointment. This substance was poisoned by smoking smoke, which caused hallucination and intoxicating. It was not inevitable that it would be inseparable from one or two times. However, if the number of times was too many, it would have to be sucked every day. This substance would not only damage a person's body, but more importantly, after being addicted, he would almost never leave his hands every day. Once this substance was gone, the person would be very unbearable and would also have abnormal and crazy behavior. It was like a person was hungry and willing to do anything for the sake of eating."

Bo Ruoyou talked about Hu Changqing and Han Ming again, and talked about Huo Qinghong's poisoning. "Hu coroner is still tough, but he still has never escaped. Now the prince is also seriously poisoned, which is really worrying."

Cheng Yunzhi also looked solemn, "It seems that there are many poisoned people, and this is really extraordinary!" He got up and went to the study room, and wanted to look through the pharmacopoeia, "I have never heard of the golden ointment you mentioned, but some poisons are addictive, but I have some impressions..."

He went to search the bookshelf and said, "According to the symptoms you mentioned, if more and more people are poisoned, the entire capital will be in chaos. In the years of disasters, some people can even kill their children for a bite. Now it is easy to lose all their money for this poison."

"Yes, this item is very expensive and is now only circulated among the wealthy and powerful. But if this item becomes more and more famous, it will eventually flow into ordinary people. Once you get addicted, you will lose all your property in two months like a coroner. All your money will be ruined. People who are good at it will also learn the art of stealing, robbing, kidnapping and scam..."

The more Bo Ruoyou said, the more urgent he felt, it was just that ordinary people became addicted to it. If poisons flowed into the court, into the palace, or into the army, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

"The most important thing at the moment is how to detoxify, but now I don't even know what the golden ointment is made of. Today, Mr. Ming and an imperial physician also went to the Marquis' Mansion, but they had no idea yet."

Cheng Yunzhi comforted him, "Don't be anxious first, this thing is not alive for the time being, so there is still time to think about it."

Bo Ruoyou thought so, so he stepped forward to help Cheng Yunzhi search together.

...

It was already midnight when Huo Weilou came out of the palace. When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Ming Guilan still accompanied Huo Qinghong. The two of them had dinner. Ming Guilan asked Huo Qinghong about his pulse several times, but he could not see any abnormality for the time being. Ning Xiao was also waiting in the mansion.

Huo Weilou looked at Huo Qinghong and went to the study. As soon as he entered the study, Ning Xiao showed Huo Weilou what he had today. "In addition to being the shopkeeper of Qingfenglou, Li Yuan has been involved in many businesses in the capital. These restaurants and shops all have his share. The front is that he invested himself and was run by others, and the back is that he is in partnership with others."

Huo Weilou is now thinking about the golden ointment. When he opened the list given by Ning Xiao, he only glanced over ten lines at a glance. However, soon, his eyes stumbled slightly. He hurriedly looked over again and opened the list sent by Sun Zhao in the afternoon. After comparing the two, Huo Weilou was surprised to find that most of the restaurants under Li Yuan’s name were selling golden ointment.
