Chapter 18 One Inch Gold 18
It was quite rude to pay tribute to others. Bo Ruoyou originally wanted to leave the house, but now the whole house is martial law, so she is not inconvenient to cause trouble. After hesitating for a while, she wrote a tribute to choose a very secluded place, so she burned it with a few pieces of money. It was considered as if she had thought.
After asking Chuntao, Chuntao said that the most secluded part of the mansion was a bamboo forest in the northeast. The Hou Mansion had many views, and there were several bamboo forests. Because the northeast was too far away, the gardeners in the mansion rarely took care of it, and it was now very deserted.
The night had arrived, and the coldness was forcing people to go through. She asked for clearing the road, held a night lamp, refused to follow the embroidered clothes, and walked northeast. The cold wind raised her skirt, and the dark paper in her hand was blown rustling.
Soon, the bamboo forest arrived.
There are weeds outside the forest, and several paths entering the forest cannot be clearly distinguished by the dim lights. Looking into the forest, it is even darker as ink. The sound of wind passes through the forest, the bamboo sways slightly, rustling and sounding, the ground shadows are mottled, and there is a sense of ghosts.
Bo Ruoyou was alone, and was somewhat defensive, so he walked towards the stone tablet near it. The moss was covered with moss and most of the handwriting was blocked. Bo Ruoyou looked at it without any thoughts and only lit two incense candles behind him.
The sacrificial text was written urgently, but in just a few words, Bo Ruoyou opened it and read it, and a deep dark color floated up between his eyebrows and eyes.
Over the years, the grief has faded, but something heavier than the grief has quietly penetrated into the bones, making her heart as hard as iron at some point. With a "sneer", the sacrifice culture fell into the ground with a fire. She put the money one by one on it, and the fire became more and more indifferent to her beautiful face.
There was only the sound of cold wind passing through the forest and knocking leaves. Bo Ruoyou squatted beside the fire. Although his bright eyes looked at the fire, his eyes seemed to see a farther place through the fire. Her pupils trembled slightly, but the person seemed to be frozen by the snow and ice. His hands were placing paper money, and he didn't feel any pain even when the flames burned to his fingertips.
After a while, the dark paper was burned out and only half of the incense candle was left. Bo Ruoyou raised his hand and wiped his face. He wanted to stand up, but then he realized that his legs and feet were numb. She sighed, just as she was about to slow down, but suddenly she felt something was wrong.
A feeling of being peeped at her makes her look like she is on her back.
Bo Ruoyou stared at her eyes and subconsciously looked into the bamboo forest, but this glance made her back sweat instantly.
A man stood in the bamboo forest with ghost shadows.
Bo Ruoyou was only shocked for a moment. She grabbed the lamp tightly and stood up suddenly, "Who is there!"
With a cold shout, the person moved. The moment the man turned around, Bo Ruoyou suddenly saw the outline of the clothes he was wearing, which was a jacket and skirt that was imitated with the monk's robe.
"My mother believed in Buddhism. It was a plain jacket made of crow green embroidered auspicious cloud pattern kesi imitated by Buddhist monks' robes. There is only one unique piece in this world..."
Bo Ruoyou remembered what Zheng Wenyan said.
His breathing suddenly became rapid, and Bo Ruo's eyes were sharp and he walked towards the bamboo forest. The murderer was close to him, so she could never let him escape... She began to regret not letting the embroidered clothes follow him.
But as soon as I entered the forest a few steps, Bo Ruoyou stopped suddenly.
The weeds in the forest are above the knee and the purple bamboos are dense. It is only a moment before she can tell the trace of the person. The place where the dim light in her hand is only a short distance away. If you chase it deeper, you will really have no benefits.
After gritting her teeth, Bo Ruoyou turned around and walked out of the bamboo forest. She didn't care about the snow on the ground, she lifted her skirt and ran all the way to the front yard. She wanted to find Huo Weilou!
Running too fast, the lamp in my hand bumped, and suddenly the lamp went out-
The surroundings were already dark, and at this moment it was completely dark. Bo Ruoyou's breathing stagnated. The thrill of the moment suddenly came to her heart because of that scene, and then became deeper fear and held her back. The rustling sounds caused by the wind behind her were like a human voice. For a moment, she felt that the person was chasing her behind her.
Bo Ruoyou was even more and more afraid to stop. An unprecedented panic made her difficult to tell the direction for a while. Just when she felt that something was going to happen tonight, she ran over the corner and crashed into someone's arms with a "bang".
The sudden appearance of light and shadow made Bo Ruoyou feel in a trance for a moment, but she was still panicked. Her first reaction was to push away the person in front of her, but the next moment, her hand was seized.
"It's me-"
The low voice was familiar and intimidating. Bo Ruoyou's frightened soul was immediately pulled back by these two words. She raised her eyes and saw Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes looking at her deeply. Bo Ruoyou was stunned, and in an instant, he felt the tip of his nose sore.
"Marty, I saw it, I saw the murderer!"
Bo Ruoyou did not hesitate, "The murderer is in the bamboo forest in the east, please send someone to capture him immediately!"
After saying these two sentences in one breath, Bo Ruoyou gasped violently, and even started to cough due to the cold wind. Huo Weilou looked behind him, and the embroidered clothes followed him and moved towards the bamboo forest. Huo Weilou stood there and looked at Bo Ruoyou.
After receiving the reward of the embroidered clothing, he did not come out immediately.
Although Bo Ruoyou's mission satisfied him, he was so arrogant that Wu Zhaohou could be affected by her little coroner's words and deeds. After reading the official documents in his hand, he kept saying that Bo Ruoyou might be in danger alone, and he was interested in patrolling the marquis's mansion at night, so he brought a few people out to check it out, but he didn't expect Bo Ruoyou to crash into his arms in such a panic.
Bo Ruoyou was afraid that he could see clearly. He was just a seventeen-year-old girl who was not afraid of corpses or did not believe in ghosts and gods. However, she met the murderer who killed three people in a row, and was so thrilling.
Huo Weilou held Bo Ruoyou's hand and saw her bent down to cough. He hesitated for a moment before letting go. Her face was bloodless, and her palms were sweating coldly. At this time, Lingxiu's coughing brows frowned into the character Sichuan, which was very painful.
Huo Weilou's eyes turned dark, and he should have come out earlier.
Bo Ruoyou covered her heart and took a while to calm down. When she straightened her body, she continued to say, "The clothes that the man was hiding in the bamboo forest were the jackets and skirts like monk robes that Master Zheng San said. The folk girl saw it very clearly."
Her voice was hoarse, and Huo Weilou swept her face, "Why don't you let the embroidered clothes follow?"
Bo Ruoyou was stunned when he heard this, and didn't know what Huo Weilou meant, so he lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment, saying, "The girl knows the mistake."
He was obviously quite pitiful when frightened, but he was very respectful. Even Huo Weilou had a hundred feet of temper and could not have any trouble. Besides, he was just a person who did not show his emotions and anger. He didn't say much and walked towards the bamboo forest.
Bo Ruoyou looked at him for a moment and hurriedly followed him. Although Huo Weilou was tall and long, he was not walking fast. When he returned to the edge of the bamboo forest, Bo Ruoyou had recovered from calmness.
The embroidered clothes envoys were walking through the bamboo forest with the lamp. As soon as Huo Weilou walked up to him, he saw the burning incense and candles beside the stone tablet. He frowned slightly. At this time, the embroidered clothes envoy stepped forward and said, "Marty, there is no one in the forest."
Bo Ruoyou hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Has the person escaped? I won't read it wrong, it must be someone's just now."
The embroidered clothing envoy continued, "There is indeed more than one trace of people who have come here." As he said that, the embroidered clothing envoy turned his head to look at Bo Ruoyou, "Has Miss Bo chased into the forest?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "Yes-"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Weilou looked at her, "You are alone, how dare you chase me?"
This tone seemed dissatisfied, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "I didn't go far, only a few steps. It was because I thought that the girl in the civilians would lose to that person, so I came out again."
Huo Weilou brows slightly, and the embroidered envoy said again: "Miss Bo is lucky to have not chased me in. The forest is quite complicated. Look at its traces. The man was in the bamboo forest for not a moment. Perhaps, when Miss Bo arrived outside the bamboo forest, the man was already there."
Bo Ruoyou's scalp was numb.
Huo Weilou said again: "Maybe there be some reason for the man to escape?"
The embroidered clothes shook his head, "From the traces left, the man had access to both sides of the east and west. Going out to the west is the direction of the ancestral hall, and going out to the east is a lotus pond that was about to dry up in the mansion. At this moment, the lotus pond was frozen and no abnormality was found yet."
Huo Weilou's eyes darkened, "It is said that He Cheng came, mobilized the yamen and searched the whole mansion carefully."
The embroidered garment command left, but at this moment, another embroidered garment commander walked out of the forest in the west, "Mr. Marquis found a sneaky man."
Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows and walked towards the forest. Bo Ruoyou followed him in his heart, and then heard the embroidered eunuch say, "This person is hidden outside the bamboo forest. When his subordinates are caught, they are about to escape, and then they are taken away."
Bo Ruoyou's heart beats slightly faster. If this person is really suspicious, he might be able to follow the clues to find the murderer.
With this thought in mind, Bo Ruoyou's steps were much faster, but when she saw the person being held outside the bamboo forest in the west, her brows furrowed deeply.
The embroidered clothes make you stand with a lamp. In the dim light, the scarred face in front of you looks particularly terrifying.
The person who was taken was actually a fool.
