The Delicate Lady Coroner

After Huo Weilou returned to the mansion, he knew that Bo Ruoyou had been there in the morning, and he learned that Bo Ruoyou had come to the yamen, so he took people to the yamen, but only when he arrived did he realize that Bo Ruoyou and Wu Xiang had left, but there was nothing in the yamen. In the new case, even Sun Zhao didn't know where they went.

That being the case, Huo Wei Building waited at the Yamen. After waiting for two cups of tea, Wu Xiang came back. He first called two Ya Chai to Hu Changqing’s house, and then went into the inner hall to meet Sun Zhao. As soon as Huo Wei Building was there, Wu Xiang hurriedly saluted.

Sun Zhao glanced behind him, "Why did you come back alone? Xiaobo?"

Wu Xiang understood Huo Weilou's intentions, and said hurriedly, "Xiao Bo is behind and will be back soon."

Sun Zhao asked again: "Where have you been?"

"My lord, my subordinates are about to report this matter to my lord. It just so happens that Lord Hou is here. You can also listen to whether this matter is of great importance." Wu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Shicai's subordinates took a small look to see. Hu Changqing is now. This servant seldom comes to the yamen on duty these days, and I met him once a few days ago. Seeing him describe him as if he was sick and seriously ill, I went to his house to see him this morning..."

Wu Xiang talked about how Hu Changqing was tied to herself and how unconscious, and he also told Bo Ruoyou about the difference between Han Jiang's brother, and then said with a solemn expression: "Bo Yazuo thinks this matter is not trivial, she suspects something These poisons are circulated in the market. These poisons have hallucinogenic effects and can easily make people crazy."

Sun Zhao heard the horror, "You mean, Hu Changqing had been poisoned for two days? Did you tie yourself up?"

"Yes, my lord, and he was crazy, so he hit the bedside with his head, and his head was battered."

At first, Huo Weilou heard that it was the work of the yamen, and his expression was not very concerned. Only when he heard Hu Changqing's madness, his face became a little serious, "When you go, will others be sober?"

Wu Xiang nodded, "Half sober, you can recognize the person, but he can see that he is very painful and uncomfortable, and then he can't bear it anymore, so he hits the bedside with his head, and after a few hits, blood is flowing and he faints."

Sun Zhao also looked serious, "Do you know what poison he has been infected with?"

Wu Xiang shook his head, "I don't know, this is the weird thing. When I asked him, he didn't say anything, but kept saying that it was a fairy medicine that would make him enter the realm of bliss——"

Huo Weilou frowned, "The Realm of Bliss?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked over Wu Xiang to look out of the hall, and Bo Ruoyou came back.

Bo Ruo lifted her skirt slightly, and her footsteps were lighter than usual. She walked through the atrium and saw the Huo Wei Building sitting in the hall for the first time. The worries on the road disappeared and she hurried into the hall to salute.

"Meet Hou Ye, my lord—"

Huo Weilou waved his hand, his gaze pulsed, Wu Xiang said quickly: "Xiao Bo, I have already told Master Hou and the adults what you worry about. Hu Changqing's meeting son did say the words Bliss Realm and Immortal Medicine. Right?"

Bo Ruoyou was looking at Huo Weilou and hurriedly at Wu Xiang, "Yes, that's what I said."

Huo Weilou's sword eyebrows are twisted, how can there be bliss in the world? And in the past few days, he heard this not only for the first time, he looked at Bo Ruoyou, "Do you suspect that the poison of Meixiang in that work?"

Wu Xiang had already said Bo Ruoyou’s suspicion once, and Bo Ruoyou hesitated for a moment and nodded, “It’s not the same as Meixiang in the brothel, but it should be something similar, or more pure, because I’m here. I have seen some confetti in the writer Hu Yu. There are some residues on the confetti. The smell is stronger and pungent. It's like... It's like spicy liquor and plum wine, although it has a taste of alcohol. , But for ordinary people, one is spicy and intoxicating, while the other can only be slightly drunk."

She described it in such a vivid way. Sun Zhao said: "Since Hu Changqing has been poisoned by this thing, he will bring people to the yamen. When he is sober, he will know what it is."

Huo Weilou asked Bo Ruoyou, "What is the smell of the poison?"

Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said: "The taste is bitter and bitter, and it has a bit of moldy, a bit pungent."

When Huo Weilou heard this, his heart felt a little loose. He heard the word bliss and naturally thought of what Huo Qinghong had offered, but what Huo Qinghong gave him was sweet and not the same.

Bo Ruoyou looked at Sun Zhao again, "My lord, Hu Yazuo is afraid that he won't wake up for a while. I saw that the brother of the deceased in the brothel case was also a little weird, so I thought it was better to go to the Han's house first. It can prove whether the poisoned person is an individual case."

Sun Zhao nodded and responded, turning his eyes to look at the Huo Wei Tower. Although Huo Wei Lou felt that this poison was not presented by Huo Qinghong, it was reasonable. He took this matter very seriously, and he said: "This Hou also goes with him. ."

Since Huo Wei Building had this intention, Sun Zhao naturally had to accompany him. He ordered the horses and carriages to be prepared, and soon the group of people left the hall.

Bo Ruoyou naturally walked behind, her gaze fell on Huo Weilou, and when she walked out the door, Huo Weilou suddenly turned around and immediately met her eyes. She was stunned for a while, but Huo Weilou pulled her lips and said: "You come over."

Wu Xiang and Sun Zhao's eyes changed slightly when they heard the words, but they did not squint and did not dare to show strange expressions. Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but glance at the two of them, forcefully calmly headed towards the carriage of Huowei Building, and waited to get into the carriage. , Just breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Wei Building raised the curtain of the car, and the embroidered clothes envoy beside him ordered Zhou Liang to return home first. Zhou Liang had already got used to it, and he responded quickly.

Bo Ruoyou said: "How long has Lord Hou been to the Yamen? But are there other errands?"

The two of Shicai are not easy to talk privately. At this moment, they asked the doubts in their hearts. Huo Wei said, "I came here to find you. Why did you go to the other writers?"

Bo Ruoyou explained all the previous things and said: "I thought it was an ordinary poisoning, but I didn't expect to see that Hu Yazuo was tortured without a human form, and the front and back were connected. I guess Hu Yazuo touched this thing. More than a month."

Wu Xiang said that Hu Changqing was very safe in the past, and he had no other bad habits. In this case, he could only be harmed by this poison. Bo Ruoyou looked at him, "but this matter may not be as serious as it is not early. Now, is Lord Hou finished today? Also, can you find that beautiful smile?"

"It's over." Huo Weilou leaned forward and moved closer to her for a while. "We sent someone to investigate the Wei Shu's home you mentioned. Song Yu is the minister of the household, and the one who has the most interaction with him is Wei. The official book of the household department, I didn’t go to check it and found out that the Weishu people were in the Weifu that day, and Song Yu did not go to the Weifu."

Bo Ruoyou suddenly heard, "So, I have read some pharmacopoeias in the past few days, saying that Meirenxiao also has some aliases such as rice sac flower, hibiscus and millet, and it is often born in the southwest. This thing is for viewing. The use is very beautiful, it is very effective for medicinal use, and it is also very rare, but I have seen that some doctors in the past said that this medicine has hidden dangers, and you must be very careful when using it. I think it is because of this that it has not been popular. But in addition to these, I haven't found anything else that is beneficial to finding beautiful smiles."

Seeing her extremely diligent, Huo Weilou's eyes deepened: "Although I haven't found a beautiful smile, there are clues to it. You are so diligent, but for me?"

Bo Ruoyou hesitated and did not answer, but Huo Weilou silently pulled his lips. He couldn't help holding Bo Ruoyou's hand. Although he didn't say anything in his mouth, he was quite pleased to be pleased.

The Han family was a wealthy merchant. His family was in Yongkang Fang in the south of the city. Wu Xiang Yuma was in front of him. He walked all the way towards Yongkang Fang and walked through the streets and alleys. It was only half an hour later that he stopped in front of Han's house.

The door of the Han family is wide and wide. At this moment, Wu Xiang went to call the door and learned that the people from the Yamen wanted to see the second young master of the Han family. The people in the Han family were a little surprised. Han Jiang's mourning hall has been set up.

Mrs. Han greeted her, "Wu catches her head, but what has happened to the case?"

When she looked back, she saw Sun Zhao wearing a third-grade official uniform, and she became even more nervous. Wu Xiang said, "Today we are here to see the second master of your house. Where are the others?"

Madam Han was a little panicked. Although she didn't recognize Huo Wei Building, she felt that Huo Wei Building was more arrogant than Sun Zhao. Although they were wealthy, they were only merchants' homes. They didn't dare to delay for a while, and hurriedly took Sun Zhao and his party to the inner courtyard. go.

"He has been feeling a little sick recently. In the past two days, except for going to the mourning hall and offering incense, he has been staying in his house." Madam Han swallowed and wondered if the Han family was about to face disaster. "Second brother, he is a scholar. Li doesn't go out very much, my lord, catching his head, could it be that he did something wrong?"

Sun Zhao said, "That's not true. You don't have to worry about it, and let us see people first."

Mrs. Han didn't dare to ask any more, she went all the way into the inner courtyard, and then into a small courtyard after a short while, and then knocked on the door in the main room, "Second brother...are you there?"

After yelling twice and no one answered, Mrs. Han said again: "Han Ming? Come out, the people from the yamen are here, and I want to see you."

There was still no movement inside the door, and Huo Weilou frowned as he looked at the closed door, "There are people inside."

Madam Han didn't dare to delay, she pushed the door open hard, and when the door opened, a pungent smell filled Wu Xiang's face. "It's this smell, small, right?"

Bo Ruo faintly nodded, and Wu Xiang took the lead and walked in first. Madam Han was terrified and watched everyone file in, and finally followed.

There were no people in the left and right wing rooms, and the more you walked into the inner room, the stronger the smell. Wu Xiang didn't shy away because he was a man, and walked into the inner room a few steps. He stopped as soon as he entered the door.

Sun Zhao and Huo Weilou followed closely. When Bo Ruoyou walked in, they all breathed slightly as they watched the scene in front of them.

Han Ming lay half-scattered on the couch under the west window. On the couch was a desk, a few bottles and jars were placed on the desk, and there were fire folds and a few bamboo pipes. Han Ming He also held a bamboo tube in his hand. I didn't know what was in the bamboo tube, and smoke was emitting from one end. Han Ming put the bamboo tube in his mouth and nose with a look of intoxication, and lowered his head to take a breath of smoke from time to time.

The smoke entrance must be very choking, but he didn't notice it at all. Instead, his face was full of drunkenness, as if he had forgotten, not knowing where he was, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he slowly looked over and saw it. When many people appeared, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he went to **** the bamboo pipe again, and then laughed foolishly.

Madam Han walked in and was taken aback by this scene, "Han Ming! What are you doing?!"

The room was full of smoke, with a smoky feeling, and the doors and windows were closed, making it more weird and weird. Madam Han went forward and opened the window. Seeing that Han Ming was still intoxicated, she couldn't help but push forward. He said, "Han Ming?!"

Han Ming was staggered by her, he fell softly on the couch, his joints seemed to be soft, but at this moment the smoke in the bamboo pipe suddenly broke, his complexion changed, and he hurriedly went to get the fire fold. He lit it tremblingly, and went to burn one end of the bamboo pipe. Soon, the smoke came out again. He took a deep breath in fascination and lay down again, intoxicated with selflessness, and the corners of his lips were still pulled up high.

Madam Han was startled, "You, you, you—"

Bo Ruoyou couldn’t help but walked up to Huo Wei’s building and said to him: “Master Hou, where Hu Yao made the poison, he also burned it with paper rolls. Although he didn’t see how he used it, he was afraid of Same."

Huo Wei Lou Shi's heart hung up again, not for anything else, only for the smoking method of the person in front of him. Although the usage is different from that of Huo Qinghong's offering, it is also the same principle.

When Bo Ruoyou said that the same was true for Hu Yazuo, he immediately stepped forward and opened the bottles and cans on the table. Even so, he did not alarm Han Ming. His eyes were blurred and leaning against the pillow. , Just hold on to the bamboo tube firmly.

When Huo Weilou opened the third ceramic pot, his already stern complexion suddenly became cold.

The first two were filled with brown-black crumbs, but the third was filled with golden cream. Although it contained many impurities, it was exactly the same as what Huo Qinghong presented!

As soon as he grasped the pot, he looked at Han Ming, and found that the end of the bamboo tube in Han Ming's hand was stained with this golden paste. For a moment, he seemed to see Huo Qinghong through him, thinking that Huo Qinghong might also look like this moment. Han Ming generally lost consciousness. He put the clay pot aside and turned around and said, "I'll leave it to you here. Be sure to investigate the cause and effect, and if you understand, come to the Hou Mansion to report."

After he finished speaking, he left, and when he reached Bo Ruoyou's side, he said, "You follow me."

When the voice settled, he didn't explain much. When Bo Ruoyou reacted, the others had already left the inner room. It must be no small thing to make him so nervous. She said goodbye to Sun Zhao and followed.

When he got into the carriage, Bo Ruoyou looked at Huo Wei Building in doubt. Huo Wei Building had already made the carriage move, and said at this moment: "I just saw another poison. It’s exactly the same. When he sent it, he also said that it was refreshing and could make people tireless. He also said that if you use a lot of doses, you can go to bliss."

Bo Ruoyou was surprised at hearing, "But the brocade box I saw that day?"

Huo Weilou nodded, thinking that he had concealed a little from Bo Ruoyou that day, and explained: "When he gave this thing that day, he only said it was refreshing. Later, although he mentioned something else, I was the only one who was not close. Female **** doesn’t have that purpose, so I never told you clearly."

An aura flashed in Bo Ruoyou's mind, "Is the elder said that this thing can help?"

At that time, what he and Ming Guilan thought were aphrodisiac aphrodisiacs, but they also had the same meaning. He nodded, "I asked him if he bought it in the fireworks field, but he said it was the prime minister of Zhongyi Bofu. As a gift, Ming Guilan also said that he didn't know the toxicity of this substance, so I didn't care about it.

Bo Ruoyou understood, and she also thought of Han Jiang’s case, “One person died in the brothel the day before, and it was the brother of Han Ming that Shi Cai saw. He died in the brothel because... because he was indulged in the joy of fish and water. On the bed, when I went to the post-mortem, I found that it was not like the normal wind, but seemed to be confused by Meixiang, but afterwards, Wu caught the head and found out that there are many places where Meixiang is used, but other places Nothing happened, but now it seems that it was caused by Meixiang and the deceased's use of even more powerful poisons at home."

With that said, Huo Wei was even more worried on the floor, and Huo Qinghong also often went to look for flowers and ask Liu, and he had already mentioned that using gold cream would make him happier under the bed.

He did not answer, his face was dark, Bo Ruoyou rarely saw him look like this, and when he thought of Huo Qinghong's preferences, he became more worried, but couldn't help calming Huo Weilou, "Hou Ye, maybe the elder son It was just a whim, and it was not used frequently afterwards."

Huo Weilou knows Huo Qinghong too well, "He has been a dignified man since he was a child, and his parents have been very indulgent to him. Therefore, people who are very arbitrary and accustomed to enjoyment, if they really taste good things somewhere, I will just let myself go."

Bo Ruoyou's heart tightened, and he couldn't say anything to comfort him. Wu Xiang said that Hu Changqing is not a weak-minded person, and he has no bad habits before. Even he looks like that, let alone Huo Qinghong?

Huo Weilou narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fell vainly on the car panel in front of him, but his thoughts had obviously fallen elsewhere, his brows were extremely tight, and besides the pressing force, he was also a little extra anxious and thin. You looked at him, hesitated for a few moments, stretched out his hand to hold his clenched fist on his knees.

Huo Weilou looked at her, his eyes regained a bit of expression, and he held her back again.

The carriage galloped all the way to Huo Guogong's mansion. Huo Weilou quickly got off the carriage. Even in a hurry, he was waiting for Bo Ruoyou outside the carriage. When she got off, he took her all the way into the Guogong's mansion.

There is not much difference between Guogong Mansion and Wu Zhaohou Mansion. The same luxurious and noble, broad and exquisite, but compared to the coldness of Wu Zhaohou Mansion, there are crowds of servants here, and there is more lively Gonghou Mansion. Huo Wei Building has just walked to the main courtyard. At the door, Huo Guogong and his wife were greeted.

There was a lot of joy on the two faces, Huo Guogong Huo Cheng smiled and said: "Why are you here in the dangerous building?"

Huo Weilou looked solemn, "Where is Hong'er?"

Huocheng and his wife looked at each other, and Mrs. Yue pointed out the direction of the inner courtyard, "In my own courtyard, what? What happened?"

Huo Weilou did not answer, and he moved to the inner courtyard. He was naturally familiar with the Guogong Mansion. They strode away. Huocheng and his wife stayed for a while and hurriedly followed. Only then did they notice that there was a look behind them. The beautiful woman, the two were a little surprised, and looked at each other again, wondering what the situation was right now.

As soon as Huo Weilou entered Huo Qinghong's yard, others greeted him. He was a little surprised to see Huo Weilou with Bo Ruoyou, "Big Brother? Youyou? Why are you here?"

Seeing him come out in good condition, Huo Weilou's tense heartstring finally loosened, looked up and down for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you use gold ointment for a few days?"

Huo Qinghong was taken aback, her eyes flashed, "No...it's useless."

How could Huo Weilou believe it, and it seemed that he was thinner than before, and he immediately moved into his room, "Find out all the golden ointment in your place."

Huo Qinghong looked at Bo Ruoyou suspiciously, but Bo Ruoyou, who had always been gentle and friendly, was also solemn at this moment. He blessed him without even showing a smile. Huo Qinghong scratched his head helplessly. , Go into the house to find the gold paste.

Soon, the two brocade boxes were found, and Huo Qinghong put it on the case table, "Here, that's all, what's the matter, brother?"

Huo Cheng and his wife also followed in. They were a little surprised to see what was on the table. Huo Cheng asked Huo Qinghong, "Hong'er, what is this?"

Huo Qinghong said solemnly: "It's a kind of pleasure."

"This thing is poisonous." Huo Weilou opened his mouth, his eyes staring at Huo Qinghong sternly, "What discomfort do you have in the past few days?"

Huo Qinghong scratched his head again, "What's the discomfort? No, I am not good."

Right now he does look unobstructed. Although he is a little thinner, he is still young in the end, and his appearance is not terrifying. However, Huo Weilou still feels uneasy, "Bring this thing," Go back to the Hou Mansion with me. This item is not available. As for what damage it will do to your body, I will find out later when the people in the yamen cross-examine it."

Hearing that the incident also involved the Yamen, Huo Qinghong looked jealous. He hesitated. He obviously didn't want to go with Huo Wei Tower. He even looked at Huo Cheng and his wife for help. Huo Cheng coughed slightly: "Dangerous Tower. ,This matter……"

Huo Weilou turned and looked at Huo Cheng, "Second Uncle, this matter is not trivial. If it becomes serious, I'm afraid it will hurt him fundamentally."

Huo Weilou looked terrifying, and Huo Cheng also had a retreat in front of him. After a while, he looked at Huo Qinghong, "Hong'er, your eldest brother is also for your own good, so you go to the Hou Mansion. What hinder."

Huo Qinghong looked at his father and mother angrily, the corners of his lips twitched, and finally he was softened, "Okay, okay, then I have to come back tonight."

After speaking, he hugged the two brocade boxes and went out first.

Before Huo Weilou left, he comforted Huo Cheng and Yue Clan, "You don't have to worry, if there is anything wrong, I will send someone to tell you."

Huo Cheng and Yue clan replied repeatedly. At this time, Huo Weilou took Bo Ruoyou and left. They left the gate of the mansion, but Huo Qinghong had to ride in his own carriage. Huo Weilou shook his head and said nothing, got in the carriage and took a seat. Then he exhaled.

Bo Ruoyou also feels a little loose in his heart, "Master Hou is not too worried. On the surface, he doesn't seem to be poisoned too deeply."

Huo Weilou nodded and couldn't help but reprimanded in an angry manner, "I really indulge him, if it is not found in time, I am afraid that he will be like those two."

Bo Ruoyou sighed at the thought of Huo Qinghong's various deeds.

As soon as the group returned to the Hou Mansion, the concierge said, "Master Hou, Master Sun has arrived."

Huo Weilou responded and glanced at the innocent Huo Qinghong behind him. He walked all the way to the main courtyard. Fu Gongyi was entertaining Sun Zhao, and he was surprised to see the three of them coming back together.

When he took his seat, Huo Weilou asked Sun Zhao to speak bluntly, and Sun Zhao said, "Master Hou, that Han Ming person is still not sober, but I asked Madam Han, she knows what that thing is, the poison is called Golden Ointment, and it is also called Ji Le San. The best and the worst, the worst is brown, with a pungent smell, the best is golden cream, with a sweet smell, a few taels of inferior silver can get a small bag, and the best is comparable to gold. Those things were bought back by Han Jiang two months ago. At first they were just for pleasure, but then the two brothers couldn't live without them. It would be quite uncomfortable if they didn't enjoy them for a while every day."

Golden cream, Elysium... Huo Weilou couldn't help taking a cold look at Huo Qinghong. Huo Qinghong's complexion changed a little, and he looked restless. The brocade box he was holding was more like a hot potato, but he couldn't bear it. throw.

Bo Ruoyou explained his inference about Han Jiang’s death at the right time, and Sun Zhao also nodded, “It’s true. What they use at home is a mix of good and bad, and the utility is naturally much stronger."

Sun Zhao sighed, "Master Hou, Mrs. Han said, this thing is not considered rare in the market, ordinary wealthy people can use it, and now many people have used it, and there are many places to sell this thing. In the capital, there are some famous brothel restaurants and tea shops, and some wine shops are also selling."

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, "It is still necessary to know how poisonous this thing is. In addition to making people intoxicated and ecstatic, there are other harms. As for the place where this thing is sold, it should be investigated and recorded by the Yamen, and a ban should be issued. It is also necessary to trace when this thing entered the capital, where it originated, and who caused it to flow into the capital..."

Huo Weilou and Sun Zhao talked about how to investigate in the follow-up. Bo Ruoyou listened carefully, but at a certain moment, her eyes swept across Huo Qinghong. Huo Qinghong was sitting straight on her face, but Bo Ruoyou was sitting. Opposite him, he could just see his hand on his knee.

She keenly discovered that Huo Qinghong's hand was trembling uncontrollably at the moment, and an unbearable anxious color appeared on her face...
