"The handwriting on the paper boat is not mine. It is crooked. It seems that the person who uses the pen is not very good at writing. I didn't start writing yesterday, but this morning, there are ink marks on my inkstone and the Langhao brush on the desk. The paper boat That's where the words on it came from."
Bo Ruoyou said again: "The doors and windows are all locked, and there is no second person in the room, but I have no memory at all, and the handwriting is more like the handwriting of a four or five-year-old child who is just learning calligraphy. The handwriting on the paper boat we found when we went back to Bo’s, I feel more and more like my younger brother wrote it.”
Bo Ruoyou stared at Huo Weilou steadily, as if that was the only way she could continue her speculations, "Although no one saw me writing on the paper boat, Aunt Liang saw me hiding in the closet with her own eyes. , I lost my composure several times in front of you, and the words of my second uncle and aunt are enough to prove that I am imitating my younger brother's behavior just like when I was a child."
"Mingyuan is right. If I just cry and hide like a child, it can also be explained that my mind lost when I was a child, but I am like a younger brother in every way."
At this point, her voice became tighter, "When I was young, I wore my brother's clothes, ate my brother's favorite dragon beard cake, and now I learn how to write from my brother. These are all things that really happened to my brother, so I think, the last time My guess was wrong."
It took a lot of courage to talk about her own symptoms, Huo Weilou's eyes were intertwined with pity and encouragement, and while warming her cold hands, he asked softly: "Which guess is wrong?"
"The one who hid back then was not me, but my younger brother." Bo Ruoyou's eyes shrank for a moment, "Everything happened in reality, except for the unreal nightmare, my actions after the onset of illness all happened in reality of."
Bo Ruoyou's tone was a little shaky: "Maybe it's because I was too frightened, or maybe I couldn't accept my brother's death, and that's why I had a mental block. After the nightmare, I unconsciously imitated my brother, but these actions are also based on my memory. Imitation, I haven’t folded a paper boat for many years, but a few days ago when I went back home and saw the old things, this memory was brought back again, so I wrote on the paper boat last night.”
At this point, Bo Ruoyou lowered her eyes in discomfort, "I can't tell, but I think that when our sister and brother were taken to the ruined temple that night, my brother must have been hiding in the cabinet. Not only that, I must know about it, but Li These details were not mentioned in Gentleman's confession, and I feel more and more problematic about his confession."
Huo Weilou repeated Ming Guilan's words, "Perhaps it is true as he said, you hid first, then found that hiding was not safe, and started to run away again, and Li Shen didn't even know that you hid."
Of course it makes sense, but Bo Ruoyou still felt that it needed to be confirmed, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Huo Weilou, "Master Ming still remembers what it looked like in the ruined temple back then, may he help me?"
Huo Weilou stared, "How can you help?"
Bo Ruoyou said: "A few days ago when I went back to the mansion and saw those old things, I started to write. If I could go back to the ruined temple back then, maybe... Maybe I could think of more. When I regenerate my heart barrier next time, maybe I can still write." Do something else, so you know what happened that night."
Huo Weilou never imagined that Bo Ruoyou would have such thoughts, they never wanted her to dwell on the past, he wanted to avoid all the people and things that might make her sick, her sickness was already extremely dangerous, but now they want to make her go back To the ruined temple back then? ! What should she do if she is trapped by the demons in her heart and never wakes up again
"I don't agree." Huo Weilou said in a deep voice, his tone unquestionable, "This method is too dangerous."
Bo Ruoyou looked at him seriously, "I didn't mean to put myself in danger, I just found it strange that Mr. Ming said that we might have been hiding, but Li Shen never saw it, and after we fled, he came after us. But... But if this is the case, then the time when my brother and I fear the most should be when we are running away and being chased."
"However, in my dream, I just stood there without moving, only the sound of footsteps approaching me, but I never ran away. When I thought of myself as my younger brother, I just avoided strangers and hid in dark places. This is still true. It is different from what Li Shen said."
If before, Bo Ruoyou only suspected that Li Shen was hiding some inside information and protecting an accomplice, now that she has speculated about her illness, she finds Li Shen's testimony even more weird.
She said in a hoarse voice: "I know what you are worried about, but Li Shen is dead, and there is no proof of his death, and Mr. Ming fled back then, and what he saw was limited, so he couldn't prove that Li Shen's words were false. If you use this method to find something Clues can make the truth of that year surface. I still can’t remember what happened that night. If I don’t know the truth for the rest of my life, I’m afraid I’ll never let it go. Get away with it."
Huo Weilou pursed his thin lips tightly and said nothing, Bo Ruoyou's tone softened, and he grabbed him lightly, "Master Hou, just give it a try."
Huo Weilou didn't want to answer, but Bo Ruoyou couldn't help looking at him like this, "What if this method is not feasible?"
"If I try and fail, I will have no regrets. Not to mention my own younger brother, even other cases cannot be settled with doubts. Even if the government decides the case, doubts are still doubts for me."
Huo Weilou didn't know what she was thinking, he thought for a moment, and ordered people to chase Ming Guilan back to the Ming Mansion first, when Bo Ruoyou saw that he gave the order, he knew that he had loosened a bit, so he was quite happy at the moment, and fell down for a while into his arms.
Huo Weilou caressed her back, and said helplessly: "You haven't told Mr. Cheng about this, have you? If he knew, he would definitely not want you to do this."
Bo Ruoyou rubbed his forehead against his lapel, "Father is getting old and has a lot of scruples. Master Hou is wise and will definitely not stop me."
Huo Weilou couldn't help but laugh, "If I really don't agree, it's useless for you to flatter me in every possible way."
Ming Guilan came back very quickly, as soon as he entered the Ming Mansion, the people from the Hou Mansion arrived. He knew that there was something urgent, and when Bo Ruoyou revealed his plan, he was even more surprised than Huo Weilou.
"This... the county lord really thinks it through?"
Huo Weilou stood beside him with a sullen face and didn't say a word, he didn't quite agree with it at first glance, Ming Guilan looked at the two of them, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.
Bo Ruoyou then narrated her dreams and what happened last night. Ming Guilan was also thinking about difficult and miscellaneous diseases these days, so she listened carefully for a while, and then said after a while: "Father also meant the same thing earlier, listen to the county. It is more reasonable for the Lord to say so.”
Huo Weilou frowned slightly, "You are a doctor, what do you think?"
His eyes were sharp, and Ming Guilan's heartstrings tensed, but Bo Ruoyou's expression was equally eager and determined. He thought carefully for a while, and finally said: "Master Hou, this method can indeed be tried, and it may even make the county magistrate feel better." Remembering the past, or maybe the county lord's strange disease suddenly recovered."
Bo Ruoyou's eyes lit up slightly when she heard the words, and hurriedly went to look at Huo Weilou, Huo Weilou's expression became even uglier.
Ming Guilan has known him for many years, and it is rare to see him with such an expression. He coughed lightly and said: "Of course, it may also make the county master unbearable, and his mind is completely out of order."
This is the result that Huo Weilou is most afraid of.
Bo Ruoyou looked at Huo Weilou, "Master Hou trusts me."
If she was ill, she would have no independent consciousness, so how could she promise her with just a word of belief
In the past 20 years Huo Weilou has been on the battlefield and court, it is rare for him to be so indecisive. Seeing Ming Guilan looking at him, he can only say: "I have to think about it, this matter is not urgent at this moment."
Ming Guilan also knew how much Huo Weilou cared about Bo Ruoyou, and knew that this decision was difficult, so he left first, and after he left, Huo Weilou said to Bo Ruoyou: "You heard it too, there may be the worst result .”
Bo Ruoyou didn't know, but since she came to the Hou's mansion, she was mentally prepared, so Ming Guilan's words could not affect her. She wanted to persuade Huo Weilou again, but Eunuch Fu's voice sounded outside.
"Master Hou, Luke is here."
Bo Ruoyou hadn't seen Lu Ke for many days, so she naturally suppressed the conversation at this moment, and the matter was really not urgent, so she first looked at what Lu Ke was talking about.
Lu Ke came in from the outside, saw Bo Ruoyou here, immediately saluted, and noticed that Huo Weilou's face was dark, he was puzzled for a while, how could Huo Weilou's face change after he left for only two hours, so he wouldn't be in the same room with him Bo Ruoyou is angry, right
Lu Ke suppressed his distracting thoughts, and his tone was a bit cautious when he replied, "Master Hou, there is news from Yizhou."
When I asked in the morning, Lu Ke felt that he might have to wait for a few more days, but within half a day, the news from Yizhou was sent back. As soon as he said this, Bo Ruoyou also sharply raised his eyebrows. The place to go is Yizhou.
Huo Weilou looked at her, "The Yamen didn't send anyone to Yizhou for approval last time, and then I ordered the servants of the Marquis Mansion to go to Yizhou to check what Li Shen had done during the two years he had returned to vulgarity."
Bo Ruoyou's heart couldn't help but feel hot. Huo Weilou asked if she wanted to send someone to Yizhou to investigate, but she declined at that time, but she didn't expect that Huo Weilou would still send people there, and even after sending people, she didn't Tell her again.
The haze in her heart suddenly cleared up, and Huo Weilou always cared about her affairs silently, which made her feel extremely at ease.
"What did you discover in Yizhou?" Huo Weilou asked Luke.
Lu Ke looked serious, first took out the original letter from his sleeve and handed it over, and then said: "This Li Shen has been found in Yizhou's residence, not only that, but also found his criminal record in Yizhou government office."
Huo Weilou frowned while reading the letter, Bo Ruoyou asked suspiciously at this moment: "Has he committed crimes in Yizhou?"
Lu Ke nodded, "Yes, Feiyun Temple said that he often cheated and deceived. After this person arrived in Yizhou, without the shock of his master, he became more and more unrestrained. He was indeed as he said. Making a living by Taoist techniques, however, he said a little less in his confession—”
Bo Ruoyou's eyes froze, and he heard Luke say: "He was in Yizhou, and he didn't pretend to be an ordinary Taoist priest at the beginning. He said that the technique he practiced can bring the dead back to life, and can also cultivate people's indestructible Dharma body. And at that time, someone believed his words and practiced the art of death with him, so they almost killed someone, and this caused trouble in the government office."
"At that time he practiced the art of death?" Bo Ruoyou's face changed, "He said that he only practiced the art of death in order to survive after he got sick. right!"
Lu Ke should say, "That's right, he lied, and according to his behavior in Yizhou, when he was still in Feiyunguan, he had already started to believe in evil ways, not only that, he also taught people to take revenge, and used The method of killing lives is sacrificed to seek longevity."
Bo Ruoyou's words sounded familiar, and after thinking about it for a moment, a flash of inspiration came to her mind, "Isn't this method just the evil theory that Jiang Xing and the others heard when they harmed Team Leader Zhao's family?"
Lu Ke answered again. At this time, Huo Weilou had read all the words in the letter, and his face was covered with frost, "It seems that Li Shen is indeed very suspicious. I converted to a certain cult when I was watching Feiyun, and if it really comes from the same line as the instigation that Jiang Xing and the others came into contact with, then this cult has probably been lurking inside and outside the capital for a long time."
Bo Ruoyou never expected that there were so many involvements behind Li Shen. She thought that Li Shen had concealed part of the truth at most, and she took the blame alone to protect an accomplice, but getting this news made her shudder.
What Huo Weilou said is correct, Li Shen can't do that heinous law suddenly for no reason, if Li Shen really believes in a cult, then this cult has been hidden in the market for many years, how many people have been instigated to become murderers
