Huo Weilou's dark eyes were as black as cold ink, "Princess Anning's illness has been a child's disease, and the Marquis has seen His Majesty and Queen Mother, and they have no choice but to believe the evidence."
Feng Qin smiled and shook his head, "Master Hou, why should you deceive yourself? Don't say that Anning County Lord has a different identity. She shouldn't have done the autopsy instead of Yamen. She was the one who did the autopsy. She is a patient herself. Who knows if she will go crazy for a while?" The silly test is wrong, if she is sick now, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager will know after a little investigation."
He said lightly, "Master Hou has watched the eldest princess since he was a child, and he knows that when people are crazy, no matter what they say or do, they cannot be believed."
The eldest princess and Bo Ruoyou are Huo Weilou's dearest relatives and loved ones, if it were someone else, they would probably be furious because of it, but how many storms Huo Weilou has gone through, how can he be offended by his few words of argument.
"It seems that you are not going to confess truthfully."
He said slowly: "When you murdered Princess Anyang and Feng Yu back then, in order not to let people find out the truth, you pretended to be in deep sorrow and buried them for them. Later, you were afraid that people would find out that something was wrong, so you put the coffin in the coffin early, and from then on, you With the intention of committing crimes, you expected today, so you hid the bodies of their mother and child in the underground palace, and you never thought that even if all the evidence of the crime was erased, the most important evidence would be on the bodies of the two of them."
Feng Qin also stared at Huo Weilou, "I understand the pain of County Lord Anning."
He turned back to Bo Ruoyou, "Back then she was taken away by gangsters with her younger brother, but she was the only one who came back in the end. Although she was just a child, she was an older sister. Although everyone didn't blame her, she must It's true that she can't forgive herself, but that's her own brother, how can she leave her own brother alone?"
The prison room suddenly became quiet, the other embroidered clothes were silent like cicadas, Huo Weilou rubbed the knuckles of his fingers with some strength, but his face was still as calm as an ancient well.
Seeing Huo Weilou's sullen face, but not showing any emotion, Feng Qin continued: "I heard that she was so crazy that she didn't even recognize her parents. Later, both parents died. It's really pitiful. At that time, I did a divination for her. Hexagram, I found that she actually ordered Rick's father to beat his mother, which is quite fierce, I advise Lord Hou to stay away from him, so as not to be beaten by her in the future and lose his power and life."
"The whole family died because of her. If I were her, I would be crazy and stupid for the rest of my life, so as not to blame myself and make people disgusted. But I didn't expect that she would return to the capital again."
Feng Qin threw away the test paper in his hand, his tensed back was loose, and he leaned back on the chair with an unscrupulous posture. At this moment, his eyes flickered and he saw the dark roof of the cell. In the deep place, there is a piece of damp and black moss on the top. Only in the dark and damp place where the light can't be seen, can such pickled things grow.
Feng Qin looked away, looking calm.
Huo Weilou said at this time: "There was indeed a Taoist priest who said that her fate was not good, but it coincided with what you predicted."
Feng Qin smiled, "Then this Taoist priest must also be a person with profound magic power, and he has revealed the truth."
After a short pause, he calmly said: "I want to see Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager. I can explain everything that happened back then."
Huo Weilou looked at him expressionlessly.
He has been in prison for several years, no matter how hard-talking corrupt officials and gangsters are, he is no match for him, and he knows that during interrogation, the easiest thing to say from a suspect is always the most insignificant.
Huo Weilou only saw Feng Qin's malice towards Bo Ruoyou.
When Bo Ruoyou ran away from him back then, it was a threat. If it wasn't for the fact that Bo Ruoyou fell ill when she was young and everyone in the capital knew that she was crazy, maybe he wouldn't have let her go so easily.
Thinking of this, Huo Weilou's expression became more unpredictable.
His silence made Feng Qin uneasy, and Feng Qin straightened his back even more, "Master Hou, do you want to convict me based on this testimonial only? County Lord Anning was originally a patient, and she was also a victim back then." My relatives, Lord Hou is engaged to her again, logically, Lord Hou also wants to avoid suspicion in this case, now only based on this testimonial, does Lord Hou want to deprive me of the right to see His Majesty?"
Huo Weilou raised his chin, as if waiting for him to have some sophistry.
Captured by his prey-like gaze, Feng Qin leaned back in the chair more and more, and said, "Your Majesty has always been known for being fair and strict. Could it be that for the sake of Princess An Ning, you want to blame me? I Although I don't have an official position, but it is also a title conferred by His Majesty, the Marquis does not allow me to see His Majesty, I am afraid that it is against the rules."
Hearing these words, Huo Weilou lost interest, "Is it finished?"
Huo Weilou's indifference made Feng Qin anxious, he nodded, "Master Hou can't cover the sky with one hand, can he?"
Huo Weilou laughed shortly, "That's naturally impossible."
A faint light flashed in Feng Qin's eyes, and his expression became more determined. Everyone in this world is not afraid of death, and knows that confessing to a crime is bound to die. It is impossible for a person with Feng Qin's heart to make any mistakes or omissions in the testimony.
He refuses to admit it to death, but with his hereditary title and the love that the Queen Mother Su Ri has for him, he may be able to fight for a chance of survival.
Huo Weilou saw it clearly, "People who practice Taoism are also afraid of death?"
Feng Qin squinted his eyes, and Huo Weilou said: "Your family has practiced Taoism for generations, and you do everything you can to cultivate Taoism. Do you want to seek the way of longevity? Or do you want to become a celestial master? If there is a true god in the sky, you You will also go to hell if you commit evil deeds. In hell, there are your wife, your eldest son, and the children you murdered. In other words, you are not afraid at all."
Feng Qin clenched his shackled fists slightly, and Huo Weilou continued: "I don't know what Feng Ye would think if he knew that his mother and elder brother were murdered to death by his biological father. Maybe Feng Ye should be lucky, lucky for his birthday. It's not an auspicious day, otherwise, even he will become a wronged soul in your hands."
After Huo Weilou finished speaking, he looked at him for a moment. Apart from clenching his knuckles, his eyes didn't show much emotion. He was actually quite indifferent to his only son. Seeing this clearly, Huo Weilou knew that today would be difficult. .
He changed the subject, "Your family has practiced Taoism for generations, before you married Anyang, you joined the Taoist sect, right?"
Feng Qin's win over Wang Qingfu was earlier than expected, which is enough to show that he was infected with a cult before that, Huo Weilou continued to ask: "Your father Feng Yuan, his courtyard has a strange shape, it seems to be built according to the Taoist Qiankun gossip , it can be seen that he also started to believe in early, and studied a lot, is this Marquis right?"
The corners of Feng Qin's eyes twitched strangely, "It's not surprising that the aristocratic family in the capital believes in it."
"It's not surprising, but you have heard it through your ears and eyes. The reason why you believe in it must be because of your father."
After Huo Weilou finished speaking, Feng Qin stopped answering fluently, but lowered his eyes to avoid Huo Weilou's scrutiny.
Feng Qin believed in heresy and crooked ways, and committed murder for this reason. He should be quite fanatical about the Taoism in his heart. However, when Huo Weilou asked him why he joined Taoism, he stopped talking and his expression became extraordinarily depressed. Obviously, the entrance to Taoism is An unpleasant, or rather, a past that he didn't want to recall.
Feng Qin not only harmed people, but also murdered Anyang and Feng Yu, and now he has little regard for his only close relative, Feng Ye. Huo Weilou's eyes suddenly sharpened as there was a past that he didn't want to mention.
"Faith is indeed a family habit. Over the years, I have given a lot outside the city, which can be regarded as doing good deeds. Lord Hou must have done a lot of investigation earlier." When Feng Qin spoke again, his voice was already tense.
Huo Weilou then asked: "Does Lingci also believe?"
"I believe it, and my mother also believes it." Feng Qin spoke faster, "These things are well known, even the Queen Mother and Your Majesty know it. Hiding the corpse and being crowned with such a serious crime is really unjust, and Hou Ye insists on insisting that I am the murderer, then I have nothing to say, I want to see His Majesty and the Queen Mother, if Hou Ye really thinks the evidence is convincing, so what? Avoid confronting your Majesty and the Queen Mother?"
Huo Weilou's eyes wandered up and down on him, and the more patient he was, the more impatient Feng Qin became, and he gradually became restless. At this moment, an embroidered envoy walked to the door of the cell and made a gesture.
Huo Weilou understood, he glanced at Feng Qin, got up and left the cell, Feng Qin didn't know what happened, but as soon as Huo Weilou left, the room was quiet again and he could hear the needle drop again, his heart beat wildly, and his anxiety lingered His heart is getting stronger and stronger at this moment.
Huo Weilou walked out of the cell door and saw Lu Ke standing a few steps away. He knew there was new news, so he walked over with a serious expression.
Lu Ke also took two steps forward, "Master Hou, the Taoist priest has invited you, that courtyard is really weird."
Huo Weilou stared, "Say."
"The Taoist priest said that the layout of the garden is the same as that of the Taoist temple outside, and it is indeed the same as the eight trigrams that Lord Hou said, and the location of the upper room is the back hall of the Taoist temple. In ordinary back halls, three mosques are usually enshrined." God is the most honorable deity in Taoism. The Taoist priest said that the original owner believed in Taoism, and later regarded himself as a figure like the Three Pure Gods. He practiced Taoism and received worship in his own house. .”
Huo Wei didn't have many surprises on the floor, seeing the layout of the room today, he also guessed three points, "Is there any news from the yamen?"
Lu Ke nodded immediately, "Yes, I interrogated several old servants of the Hou Mansion, and they said that the old man did not die of illness, but was caused by taking pills all the year round, but Feng Qin suppressed this matter and they were not allowed to discuss it, so there is no public opinion I don't know about it."
Uncle Loyalty died because of taking the elixir
Huo Weilou narrow eyes, the old loyal uncle named Feng Yuan, Huo Weilou had seen him when he was young, but now he can't remember his appearance, it is not uncommon for people who practice Taoism to take pills, but rich and noble people know some medicine and rarely take it For the things refined by Jinshi, Feng Yuanneng died because of taking the elixir, he can be regarded as a fanatic, and it is even more frenzied to build his courtyard into a Taoist palace and pretend to be a true god.
"He was enshrined in his own courtyard? By whom?"
Lu Ke looked in the direction of the cell, "The old servant of the uncle's mansion said that the old uncle's yard was also a forbidden place in the past, ordinary servants were not allowed to enter, only Mrs. Uncle and Feng Qin could enter and leave. Feng Qin has always followed the old uncle since the governor Beside him, the old man was very strict with Feng Qin, beat and scolded him frequently and locked him in a dark room, and his subordinates guessed that if he was enshrined, he was enshrined by Feng Qin and his mother."
"Furthermore, the old servant also said that Feng Qin's mother passed away before Feng Qin got married. She was unconscious when she died, and the old loyal uncle lived alone in that courtyard. Mrs. Uncle only occasionally went in for three or two days. No one knew about them. What did the husband and wife do in the garden, but the mansion said that the old uncle cultivated Taoism and had no desires, and his relationship with the uncle's wife was quite indifferent. Later, the uncle's wife and the old uncle passed away one after another, and Feng Qin replaced many servants in the mansion, let alone the servants Discussing the old affairs of Uncle and Madam in private, except for a few old servants, everyone thinks that Uncle and his wife are very loving."
"The subordinates thought, the old uncle built the Taoist palace and asked people to worship him, so he dared not publicize it in the capital, nor did he dare to let his servants know, so they started from Mrs. Uncle and Feng Qin. The servants in the mansion said that Mrs. Uncle Ever since I married the old uncle, I have obeyed his advice, and later I practiced Taoism together with the old uncle, but I didn't know how to practice, and I lost my mind first."
Huo Weilou frowned more and more, and Lu Ke said again: "Feng Qin later practiced Taoism and became a demon, maybe he was influenced by the old man. As for what happened in the middle, the subordinates are not sure. Later, Feng Qin grew up As an adult, outsiders only know that he often follows the old uncle to do charity in Taoist temples outside the city, and they think it is just ordinary practice of Taoism."
Huo Weilou recalled Wu Xiang's previous investigation at Feiyun Temple, that most of the aristocratic families in the capital believe in Buddhism, and Uncle Loyalty is a family of believers for generations, but how many people in this place, under the banner of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, secretly have evil thoughts and evil desires , What's more, they also have demonic obstacles in their hearts, and commit crimes for this.
Lu Ke said again: "Also, after Master Hou left, our people found a few runes hidden in the four corners of the upper room, and just showed it to the Taoist priest, who said that the runes were Suppressing evil things, and saying that the place where the rune is hidden is to suppress the original owner of the courtyard, that is to say, it is to suppress the soul of the old man."
Feng Yuanxiu went into obsession as a Taoist cultivator, he claimed to be a celestial master, and later died after eating pills. Needless to say, this rune was naturally laid by Feng Qin. Why did he use the rune to suppress his father's soul
Huo Weilou didn't understand Feng Qin's motive at first, but when he heard this, he saw some traces. Earlier, he suspected that the murderer was tainted with evil ways. Everyone went to Feiyun Temple to suspect, but forgot that at the beginning of the evil cult, most of them were educated by relatives, but Just now when Feng Qin was asked why he became a young man, his strangeness also showed that something unpleasant must have happened to him back then.
The old uncle who is obsessed with cultivating Taoism and becoming immortal, and the uncle who obeys his words and also cultivates Taoism together, so what about Feng Qin who was still a young man back then
Huo Weilou's eyes changed slightly, and he finally saw the secret to break through Feng Qin.
He took Lu Ke and turned back to the cell. As soon as he sat down, he met Feng Qin's wary eyes.
Huo Weilou sneered mockingly, "You must have had a hard time when you were young, right?"
