Chapter 177 Nine ileum 09
Bo Ruoyou left the Hou's Mansion and went to the yamen with Hou Yang. The case was not taken over by the direct envoy. Huo Weilou had official duties and did not travel with him.
When he arrived at the yamen, Wu Xiang had returned. A six or seven-year-old child was also back with him. The child looked familiar. It was the little baby who answered Bo Ruoyou's questions with a ghost messenger mask that day. He followed the yamen messengers and was a little nervous. Wu Xiang was asking him to buy some candy cakes on the street for him to eat.
Seeing Bo Ruoyou, the little baby was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to come forward to speak. Bo Ruoyou smiled at him, and Wu Xiang said, "This child is called Zhang Duo. He is a child from a farmer's house on the back street. You should have seen it."
Seeing Bo Ruoyou nodding, Wu Xiang said again: "After I went to Xiangguo Temple, I visited the town. Except for the guests in the inn, I tried to find out all the people I knew with Wen Jin. At this time, the servant of the inn said that there were several times when Wen Jin played with a few children when he was playing at the entrance of the inn, so I went to the town to find it."
"Then he found him. His family knew that something happened in the town, but they didn't know it was Wen Jin. After asking him, he said that he had met Wen Jin on the eleventh day of the Dongyue."
Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Do you remember clearly?"
"I remember that because it was his grandmother's birthday that day, he wore new clothes, but when he ran to the street to play, he fell to the ground and dirty his clothes. It was also at that time that he saw Wen Jin following a man wearing a mask. As you had guessed before, he was a man wearing a monkey king mask. Wen Jin was wearing a fox fairy mask. When he saw him, he happily took off his mask to show off. Zhang Duo also went back that day to ask his family to buy him a ghost mask."
After Wu Xiang finished speaking, he went to see Zhang Duo. After Zhang Duo finished eating the candy cake, he looked at them with curiosity. Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and said, "Do you remember me, right?"
Zhang Duo nodded, and Bo Ruoyou asked, "I don't know that day you recognized Wen Jin. Today you may think about it again, where did you take Wen Jin's man to that day, what did you wear, have you seen him in the town before?"
Zhang Duo blinked, and was a little nervous again. Wu Xiang said, "I have asked about these things. He said that Wen Jin was taken away and was heading towards Fanyin Inn. At that time, he thought the man was Wen Jin's father, and his clothes were very ordinary. If he couldn't see his face, he didn't know if he had seen it before."
After Wu Xiang finished speaking, he said, "But he said the man was a little strange. When he held Wen Jin, although he couldn't see his face clearly and did not speak, he kept coughing and his body bent down. In addition, on the back of his hand holding Wen Jin, he could see some light scars. I suspected that the man was sick. Because I couldn't tell, I brought him back to tell you in detail."
Bo Ruoyou then understood what Wu Xiang wanted to bring the child back to the yamen. She moved her heart slightly and asked Zhang Duo in detail. Zhang Duo whispered: "The cough sounds like a cold. The young master of the Wen family wants to look at me with a mask. He refused to let him go. When he pulled Wen Jin away, he whispered something. It was just dark at that time. Because it was close, he saw that there were some scars on his wrist. It was not a scar, but it seemed like a scar that had fallen and touched. It was purple-red, not a large area, it was so big-"
Zhang Duo gestured a circle the size of a peach pit, and Bo Ruoyou frowned. Wu Xiang looked at her with hope, "How? Can you tell what kind of disease is it?"
Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "I can't confirm for the time being. I don't know if it's because of skin disease or other endopathy. I want to go home and ask my adoptive father."
Wu Xiang nodded and asked Zhang Duo again about the person's clothes and demeanor. Zhang Duo was originally a child, so he could only describe it in a vague way, "It's not very fierce. Wen Jin wants to talk to me, but he doesn't seem to allow it, but he also speaks softly. I haven't heard anything he says, so I think it's Wen Jin's father, how tall... I'll get to his waist..."
His description made Bo Ruoyou feel that he saw the same person as the old man who sold the mask. If so, he could almost narrow the murderer's pointing point a little further.
Wu Xiang didn't dare to let Zhang Duo stay for more, so he ordered someone to send him home. After the arrangements were made, Bo Ruoyou was waiting for him, "Does the captain know about Mr. Ming?"
"I know, you still have someone to check if there are any cases in the past few years."
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "Yes, after Mr. Ming mentioned the details that were missing yesterday, I felt more and more that it was the same murderer. The bell and the murderer's way of harming people always seemed strange, so the Marquis sent his attendant to Xiangguo Temple."
Bo Ruoyou said what the attendant of the Hou Mansion at Xiangguo Temple had learned. After hearing this, Wu Xiang's expression became more and more serious, "So you already suspect that this matter is related to Taoist dying arts?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "Yes, and this kind of death technique often occurs on old Taoist priests who are about to reach their limits. But if a person is seriously ill and feels that he has not had much time, can he also use such evil technique?"
Wu Xiang's eyes were bright, "The person who took Wen Jin away is very likely to be really seriously ill!"
Bo Ruoyou expected this, "The Marquis has sent someone to explore the Taoist temples inside and outside the city, and wants to find a powerful Taoist priest to ask what kind of method of practicing Taoism is. If the murderer is really a sick person, I think there are more clues to find out."
Wu Xiang thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go to the Sanqing Temple in the city first. If the murderer is really a Taoist practitioner and is seriously ill, he might often go to the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. Ordinary people get serious illnesses. At the beginning, don't they ask the gods to ask the Buddha first?"
This was exactly what Bo Ruoyou meant, and the two went to the inner treasury to meet Hu Changqing. In the past two days, Hu Changqing and the civil servants dug out several suspicious cases. Bo Ruoyou handed it to Wu Xiangshen and went home to find Cheng Yunzhi first.
She is still very knowledgeable about medicine. She only listened to what Zhang Duo said, and was not sure what the disease was. After returning home and finishing talking to Cheng Yunzhi, Cheng Yunzhi pondered for a moment: "Just say this, it is difficult to make a conclusion. It is not a big deal to feel cold in early winter, and occasionally feeling wind and cold. The scars on her hands may be injured or have other symptoms. However, the two are separated and there are many possible diseases, and it is not necessarily a serious illness."
Bo Ruoyou said, "What if he is seriously ill?"
"If you are seriously ill, cough or tuberculosis, and your body has purple-red scars..." At this point, Cheng Yunzhi suddenly looked slightly darker. "I remember that there is a disease that makes people easily feel like a wind-cold cough. At the same time, they will also have scars on their bodies. This disease is called hysteria, which is mostly caused by the weakness of the five internal organs. It can take two months to kill people, and some people will delay for several years. This disease is a terminal illness and is difficult to cure. Once you suffer from this disease, you can almost prepare for the funeral."
At this point, Cheng Yun's voice was slightly interrupted, "There is another sign of this disease. If an ordinary person is injured and bleeding, the wound will often coagulate and heal. Once a patient with this disease is injured, even if it is a minor injury, he will continue to flow and heal. "
Bo Ruoyou also heard about this disease, and she secretly remembered it in her heart. At dusk, the attendant of the Marquis's Mansion invited her to pass.
Knowing that the matter of asking the Taoist priest was over, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly went out on a carriage and arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, and Eunuch Fu was waiting at the door.
Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and asked, "Dad father-in-law, have you invited the Taoist priest?"
Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "I have invited the Taoist priest, but this Taoist priest has a special identity."
Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised, but Eunuch Fu kept him in, "You will know when you arrive."
As she walked all the way to the main courtyard, Bo Ruoyou saw the northwest direction of the mansion change drastically. It was the south garden scene created by Huo Weilou. She calmed down and when she arrived outside the hall door, she suddenly felt a little surprised.
Huo Weilou sat in the main seat of the hall, but the person who was with him was Feng Qin, who had not seen him for many days. In the position of the scene, Huo Qinghong and Feng Ye sat opposite each other. Everyone didn't know what they said, and they all smiled.
Huo Weilou saw Bo Ruoyou first, and he stood up to welcome him. Everyone looked over and stood up one after another.
It was not the first time that Bo Zhongyi Bo met Bo Ruoyou. He only knew Bo Ruoyou was the daughter of the Bo family, but now Bo Ruoyou is the county lord and has a marriage with Huo Weilou. Naturally, now he is different from the past. He looked at Bo Ruoyou with a smile. When Bo Ruoyou was greeted by his blessing, he greeted her kindly.
After Bo Ruoyou sat down, Huo Weilou said: "The master of the Sanqing Temple has not returned now, and it has been a waste of time to go outside the city. When Master learned what we were going to ask, he went to the mansion to solve our doubts."
Huo Qinghong smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. When I came here, I heard my elder brother telling me to leave the city. I was thinking, why do I leave the city? There are many people who practice Taoism in the capital, and I don't recognize others. But I know that Mr. Wang has been practicing self-cultivating character in the past few years. I know that Feng Ye had an appointment with me in the afternoon, so I mentioned this matter."
Bo Ruoyou knew that Huo Qinghong had a contribution. After he finished speaking, Feng Qin smiled and said, "I am indeed half a person who practices Taoism, but I am just a person who cultivates his body and cultivates his nature. I know the technique of death you are going to ask, but that method is very dangerous and the process is extremely painful. Ordinary people dare not try it even if they know that they have not much time."
"Although I don't know what kind of case it is, there are very many people who do evil. I think it's an extraordinary person. This technique of death can be regarded as a Taoist secret technique. If you keep it in the real world, you will die first and then live, which can be extremely expensive. This method also originated from a passage in the Taoist "Saving People". Yuanshi Tianzun said that he said the scriptures ten times, and the dry bones will regenerate. He also said that the great Buddhist qi will be carried out, and there is a god who can save people from death--"
"Although this scripture is a Taoist treasure scripture, orthodox Taoism does not advocate such art of cultivation, and it is regarded by many people as an evil way. However, when it comes to the saying of death, many people want to use this method to become immortal and seek immortality, but everyone in the world knows, how is this possible..."
Feng Qin shook his head sighingly, and suddenly wondered, "Is someone who used this method to practice the Tao and could have died?"
Bo Ruoyou hesitated for a moment and did not explain it thoroughly. "I am not sure whether it is related to Taoism. Now I just suspect that someone uses this method to harm people."
Feng Qin was confused when he heard this, but he knew that he should not ask too much, so he said, "Taoism has been prosperous in the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years. With more people entering the church, there will naturally be people with impure minds..."
Feng Qin murmured at this point: "But this art of death is to cultivate one's own body and mortal fetus, so why does it harm people?"
Huo Weilou said: "Since you are impure in mind, you will naturally not be able to practice the right path. You are afraid that this person will not reveal his traces and hide in the ordinary Taoist temple to commit crimes."
As soon as Feng Qin said this, he seemed to remember something, "I remember something like this, because I often go out to and from several Taoist temples outside the city because of practicing Taoism. I once remembered that last autumn, a Taoist priest was expelled from the Taoist temple. Later, I heard people discussing that the Taoist priest preached the Taoist priest privately, but the Taoist priest he taught was different from the orthodox Taoist priest."
Bo Ruoyou's expression tightened, "Do you know the human name?"
Feng Qin shook his head, "I didn't ask about the Tao, but this matter was last year. Now Feiyunguan will definitely find out if you go to the question."
This pointing point was clear, Bo Ruoyou immediately became energetic, and Feng Qin could not help anything else for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he offered to say goodbye. Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou took a few steps, and Huo Qinghong sent Feng Qin and his son out of the mansion.
Without further ado, Huo Weilou sent someone to the yamen to inform the yamen, and informed the yamen of the blood caused by Cheng Yunzhi. Bo Ruoyou stayed to accompany Huo Weilou for food. When Huo Qinghong came back, he saw Huo Weilou accompanying Bo Ruoyou to look at the garden drawings in the mansion.
Huo Qinghong curled his lips, feeling the teeth were sour in the scene. Huo Weilou raised his eyes and said, "You are very close to the Feng family?"
The last time Huo Qinghong used golden ointment was given by Feng Ye. Although he did not intend to do it, Feng Ye was quite unemployed and he was a little alert.
Huo Qinghong touched his nose and said, "It's not that close. It's just that Taichang Temple has dealt with relatives more often, so he has naturally moved more with the Feng family. The Feng family is also generous and generous. He has allocated many things that require relatives to do their best."
At this point, he looked at Tianse with some grief and said, "Forget it, I'm going back to my house, and I'm going to leave the city to Xiangguo Temple tomorrow morning, and I'm not idle all day."
Bo Ruoyou's eyes turned, "But for Amitabha Buddha's birthday party?"
Tomorrow is seventeen, and it is the day when the Buddha's birthday is on. Huo Qinghong sighed bitterly, "Yes, the two high men of this Dharma Assembly are going to go, and Your Majesty also wants to send people from the inner palace to offer Buddha treasures, but you also want Taichang Temple to come forward."
