Even bumping into a wall made Bo Ruoyou a little depressed. When she returned home, she thought that the murderer hadn't known where to go, and that she might have started looking for the next prey, so she felt heavy in her heart. When talking about this matter at dinner, Cheng Yunzhi felt the same. Not surprisingly.
"It's always like this in aristocratic families. If the case spreads this time, there will probably be some bad words. Uncle Zhongqin's house is also expected." Cheng Yunzhi frowned slightly, "The murderer has obvious likes and dislikes, and he knows that the government has started to investigate Feng. The girl's case, but still took action, I think it is extremely ruthless and fearless."
Bo Ruoyou's brows and eyes became dark again, "When I left the uncle's mansion today, Mr. Sun said that he was going to see Lin Shilang of the Ministry of punishment. I only hope that tomorrow, with Lin's help, the old lady of the uncle's mansion can change her mind."
"Minister Lin of the Ministry of Punishment?" Cheng Yunzhi frowned slightly.
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "Master Sun is helpless."
Cheng Yunzhi's eyes were serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a while. Bo Ruoyou looked at him suspiciously for a moment, "Father, is Lin Shilang acquaintance? You were also quite concerned when my daughter mentioned Lin Shilang before."
Cheng Yunzhi looked up at Bo Ruoyou, "I am not an old friend, but your father and mother are old friends."
Bo Ruoyou was not surprised when he heard the words. Back then, his father was an official in the court. Since he was a colleague, he should have known each other.
Seeing Bo Ruoyou's expression was unremarkable, Cheng Yunzhi hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything more. Bo Ruoyou finished his dinner and played a game of chess with Cheng Yun before going to rest. He got up early the next morning and went straight to the yamen.
As soon as she entered the yamen, she saw two yamen servants looking at her with strange expressions. Bo Ruoyou raised her eyebrows slightly. It was not her first time to come to the yamen. How could her gaze be so meaningful? Could there be something wrong with her? Something went wrong
After asking where Wu Xiang was, Bo Ruoyou walked along the corridor to the back hall, before he got close, he heard voices in the hall.
"Little Hu, I didn't say that you were too negligent in performing the autopsy on the girl of the Feng family. The wound on the back was intentional. Fortunately, Bo Wu's autopsy found it out, and the second body that died later was also injured. It hurts. Don’t talk so much, it’s a good thing for the yamen to have one more assistant right now, it won’t delay the case, and it will also reduce your salary, so I can share some of it for you.”
Wu Xiang spoke loudly, Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised when he heard it, and when he got closer, he saw that besides Wu Xiang, there was a strange man in the hall. Bai Jing was gentle and gentle, and when he heard Wu Xiang's words, he showed two points of grievance, and when he was about to argue, he saw Bo Ruoyou.
Wu Xiang also saw her, he came up to her with a bright smile, "Xiao Bo, I knew you must have come early—"
As he spoke, he looked at the man beside him, "This is Hu Changqing, the former official of our government office."
Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised, she didn't expect the assistant of Jingzhao Mansion to be so young, he looked only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, maybe even younger than she guessed.
Hu Changqing looked at him with probing and unkind eyes.
He does not welcome her.
Bo Ruoyou probably understood why the yamen servants outside looked at her that way, they all said that their peers scolded each other, Hu Changqing did a good job in the yamen, and suddenly there was her, he must be unhappy.
Bo Ruoyou smiled wryly in his heart, but his face was calm, he nodded his head and said hello, "Hu Zuo."
Hu Changqing didn't say anything, his eyes even showed disdain, but he only said to Wu Xiang: "Angkor, now this case doesn't require my autopsy, does it?"
Wu Xiang smiled wryly, "I didn't say that, it's all for solving the case. You have examined the body of the girl from the Feng family before, and the newly discovered deceased yesterday was brought back to the mansion. No one can see her now, and she is in trouble."
Hearing what Wu Xiang said, Hu Changqing pursed the corners of his lips and remained silent. At this moment, a group of people came from outside, and the three of Bo Ruoyou looked over together. Seeing this, Bo Ruoyou suddenly took a tight breath.
There were a lot of people coming, Sun Zhao walked in front, followed by a young man, who was wearing an embroidered black official gown, the three-legged gold and black embroidered pattern on the front was impressive, and behind him were a dozen embroidered The clothes envoys followed, all of them were capable and elite.
Wu Xiang's expression suddenly changed. Seeing that Wu Xiang and Bo Ruoyou were both there, Sun Zhao stepped forward and said, "This is the deputy commander of the direct envoy Si Ning. This case has now been taken over by the direct envoy of Xiuyi. Now Ning The deputy commander personally supervised the handling of the case."
Wu Xiang immediately cupped his hands towards Ning Xiao.
Ning Xiao was twenty-four or five years old, he sized Wu Xiang up for a moment, and then his eyes fell on Bo Ruoyou. He was dressed in an official uniform, with a knife at his side, and when he looked at people, his eyes were harsh and cold. Lie, Bo Ruoyou actually saw some shadow of Huo Weilou from him at this moment.
Ning Xiao looked at her, "Are you Bo Ruoyou?"
Bo Ruoyou blessed her body, "It's a folk girl."
Ning Xiao nodded, "The direct envoy will take over the case. You and Butou Wu will follow me to handle the case for the time being, and then select a few government officials who already know the case to follow. The rest who have not participated in the case don't need to be assigned to them."
Ning Xiao didn't keep his eyes on Bo Ruoyou's face, the words were addressed to Sun Zhao, and Sun Zhao quickly responded. In front of Ning Xiao, although Sun Zhao was not as cautious as he was with Huo Weilou, he was quite cautious.
Seeing that the order was finished, Sun Zhao said, "Deputy Commander Ning sat down for a while, and has already ordered someone to get the documents for inspection, and the evidence of the crime that was asked before. If there is anything else, just ask Wu Xiang."
Ning Xiao nodded, and took a seat in the back hall. Although he was not as tall as Huo Weilou, he looked a little aggressive because of his extraordinarily serious manner. When he took his seat, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but asked Sun Zhao in a low voice, "My lord, why are you so angry?" Or is the Embroidery Envoy taking over the case?"
Sun Zhao smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, when I went to Lin Shilang's residence, I happened to meet Lord Hou. Seeing that we were in such a difficult situation, Lord Hou said that he would advise His Majesty. No, today's matter will be settled. "
Bo Ruoyou hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "Then why didn't Lord Hou come..."
Sun Zhao glanced in Ning Xiao's direction, "Your Majesty is not willing to hand over this case to the Embroiderer, and it is impossible for the Marquis to take care of it. The Marquis is busy with other things these days, so here is a deputy commander." It's not bad."
After a pause, Sun Zhao continued: "This deputy commander was brought up by Lord Hou. He is one of Lord Hou's confidantes. With him, it is safe to solve the case. He also behaves like Lord Hou. will know."
Bo Ruoyou did find out soon, when the documents were delivered, Ning Xiao frowned as soon as he read the first document, "The testimonies are written in a mess, and I can't even remember the victim's itinerary that day. It's clear, who I met at what time, and what I did is unclear, Mr. Sun, it seems that the people below are not careful enough."
Sun Zhao's face turned green and red when he was stabbed by his words, but the two of them have similar official ranks, and he would not deliberately lower his figure. Secretary, when taking the testimony, it’s just that your own people can understand it, if the deputy commander doesn’t understand it, let Wu Xiang explain it to you.”
"Although Lord Hou did not personally supervise the handling of this case, he has to report to him every day. How busy he is, all official documents should be concise and precise. How can such documents be sent to Lord Hou's desk?"
After Ning Xiao finished speaking, he went to look through the rest, Sun Zhao had a bitter face, Wu Xiang was usually rough and bold, but now he didn't dare to be presumptuous. Bo Ruoyou looked at the nose and the heart, although he felt that Ning Xiao was not as scary as Huo Weilou when he first saw it, but everyone could see that Ning Xiao was not a good-tempered person, and he was even more picky about details. It is really a difficult peak to get along with.
But seeing that he was thinking of Huo Weilou in his words, she also had a sense of agreement.
It only took Ning Xiao an incense stick of time to look at the official documents and inspection certificates. During this time, his face was sinking like water. This kind of dissatisfaction that was exposed outside did not need to make others guess, but it gave birth to fear, "This inspection—"
Speaking of the test results, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help raising her eyes, and she saw Ning Xiao staring at her.
Ning Xiao's face was sullen, his eyes were gloomy, Bo Ruoyou only felt a knife hanging on her face, she regained her composure, but Ning Xiao put the test paper back, "The family of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion Second Miss, do you want another test?"
Bo Ruoyou raised her brows slightly, "Maybe retest?"
Ning Xiao said with a blank expression, "Now that the chief envoy has taken over, we will naturally be able to test again."
Bo Ruoyou immediately said: "It needs to be tested! Not only that, but also to ask some specific details of the case—"
Ning Xiao stood up, "I heard that I went to Li Duwei's residence in the Nine City Patrol Battalion yesterday, but I didn't see Miss Li's family?"
Wu Xiang nodded: "Exactly."
Ning Xiao beckoned to the two embroidered clothes envoys, "Follow Catcher Wu to Li's house, and invite Miss Li's family to the government office to ask carefully."
The two embroidered envoys responded, and Wu Xiang explained to Sun Zhao again before leaving the back hall.
At this time, Ning Xiao looked at Bo Ruoyou, "Follow us to Uncle Zhongqin's mansion, you can ask whoever you want, and you can do an autopsy."
Seeing Ning Xiao's swift and resolute arrangement, Bo Ruoyou's heart immediately relaxed, and he felt that the embroidered clothes were different from each other, no matter which rich or noble family he faced, he always said the same thing and was not afraid at all.
When Bo Ruoyou went out with Ning Xiao, she saw Hu Changqing waiting outside, looking at her with a complicated expression on her face. She sighed in her heart and left the yamen without saying anything.
On the way, Ning Xiao rode his horse across the long street, and didn't ask too many questions. The other embroidered envoys also walked neatly and didn't talk too much. resemblance.
When they arrived at the gate of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion, it was still early, and the embroidered envoy stepped forward to call the door. This time the porter opened the door, and invited them in without saying a word. Bo Ruoyou knew the power of the embroidered envoy. Now I have a deeper understanding.
Zhongqin Bo's mansion was filled with mourning and silence, all the servants on the road spoke very quietly, and their faces were unsmiling, it was clearly clear weather, but Bo Ruoyou felt that there was a haze over the Bo's mansion.
Not long after she had left, she saw two women in brocade clothes coming towards her. Seeing the envoy in embroidered clothes entering the mansion, the two of them were also slightly taken aback, and then closed their eyes. The envoy brought a woman into the uncle's mansion, and the two quickly glanced at her, then they were afraid of the embroidered clothes envoy, and turned their eyes away to pass them by.
This was a common sight, but after walking a few steps, someone suddenly called from behind.
"Miss Bo—"
Bo Ruoyou paused subconsciously, but before she could respond, a clear voice spoke.
"What is it?"
Bo Ruoyou had already stopped, but when she looked back, she saw that it was a little girl coming from the southwest corridor, and it was one of the brocade-clothed women who was answering the question. A strange feeling flashed in Bo Ruoyou's heart.
