There was still the touch of Huo Weilou's knuckles on her forehead, Bo Ruoyou's heart beat a little faster, and her face was slightly hotter, she quickly lowered her head, shook her head silently, and found the paper again, will be able to The combined sentence is copied on it.
The hand holding the pen was a little stiff, and she was a little out of sorts. Huo Weilou saw that she was so helpless, and when he turned around, Huo Weilou met Fu Gonggong's eyes staring at him, and Huo Weilou raised his sword eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't know why he was so .
Seeing that Bo Ruoyou was copying the words in a humorous and silent manner, Huo Weilou went to the study again. He had official documents to read, so he couldn't always look at Bo Ruoyou. Eunuch Fu followed in small steps, and when he entered the study, he said in a strange way: "Master Hou Now I can't hold back any more, I'm afraid the people in the room will all notice it."
Fu Gonggong lowered his voice for fear that the outside would hear it, but Huo Weilou stabbed behind the desk and sat down, nonchalantly said: "Everyone in the room can see it? I don't think so."
Huo Weilou meant something, but Eunuch Fu snorted and said, "Master Hou has figured it out now? What is this plan?"
Huo Weilou squinted at him for a moment, then swept his eyes outside again, as if he was afraid that Bo Ruoyou would hear him talking too much, Eunuch Fu curled his lips again, with a mocking tone, "I don't know who said just bear it and let it go Ning Xiao is in charge of this case now, so it's fine for you to intervene once or twice a day, but because of this case, you dared to break the appointment with His Majesty, and you went out for another day today. Close your eyes, even a fool can see the truth."
Huo Weilou didn't even bother to read the official documents at all, seeing Eunuch Fu's pressing questions, although he didn't answer, he thought in his heart, even an idiot can see it, why can't the idiot outside see it
Huo Weilou raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, "I really wanted to forget it before."
He has been in power for many years, and he is in a high position. He can't be said to be heartless, but he has emotions and desires, and he really can't do anything about him. Even if he was unwilling to let go of the military power in the northern border, he finally let it go. Things in the world are not as good as they are. The burden is not light at all, and there is no need to divide your mind for idle thoughts.
But this time, it is difficult to calculate.
Seeing Eunuch Fu staring at him, Huo Weilou also stared at him, "Don't talk nonsense in front of her, I think she is no different from a fool, she is very stupid, you know the things around me, if you really have something Decisions also need to be considered in the long run, how can it be made clear in a few words? Right now, all I can do is protect her."
Eunuch Fu's eyes lighted up when he heard this. After all, Huo Weilou seldom expressed his thoughts in the past few days, and if he did not have complete confidence in his actions, he never revealed a word. Whatever he said now, as long as he said it, he would definitely It is as firm as iron, and it must be done.
"The old slave knew that Youyou was different after all. When Master Hou thought about it, the old slave would only be happy, so why would he talk nonsense in front of Youyou?" Eunuch Fu burst into tears with excitement, "Master Hou's marriage is indeed a big deal. Don't be rash, this old slave also understands."
Eunuch Fu looked at Huo Weilou gratifiedly after speaking, as if his long-cherished wish had come to an end, Huo Weilou looked a little helpless, at this moment, Eunuch Fu smiled and looked out: "However, what is Youyou thinking? Old slave Look at her in front of Lord Hou, she doesn't have the slightest heart to be close to him, although she is not afraid of him, but she doesn't seem to be interested in him—"
These words touched Huo Weilou's sore spot, thinking of Bo Ruoyou's words and deeds in the past two days, Huo Weilou felt his head ache again.
He said impatiently: "Okay, you don't need to take care of this matter, I have my own rules."
But Eunuch Fu is not optimistic about him, "What kind of rules does Marquis have? I won't talk about the Lin family's affairs, so what if Youyou has her own opinions on marriage?"
"So what if she has her own opinion?" Huo Weilou sneered, "From existence to nonexistence, it's also very simple."
Eunuch Fu sighed, "Look, Marquis, you are too scary, this... this matter between men and women, it's not so hard..."
Huo Weilou snorted, "Do you still need to teach me?"
Eunuch Fu was still uncertain in his heart, thinking that there was another Lin family, he asked: "Master Hou said before that he wanted a marriage gift for Lin Zhao and Miss Bo's family, do you still want it now?"
Huo Weilou heard the words, and thought of the young lady of the Bo family whom he met today, "Why do you want to give them a marriage? They have been praised for nothing, and they have already engaged. With her temperament, even if she knew the truth back then, she would not bother to go. Competing for marriage." After a pause, the tails of his eyes slightly raised, "Besides, I've asked her, and she didn't see Lin Zhao in her eyes at all."
Eunuch Fu looked at Huo Weilou in amazement. If Huo Weilou was a monkey, then his tail must have gone up to the sky at this moment. He felt a little bit gritty. Thinking of Huo Weilou's serious appearance before, he couldn't help it. I also want to say something bitter to him, "But the old servant is watching, Youyou has not seen you, Lord Hou..."
Before Huo Weilou's face changed, Eunuch Fu ran out in a hurry.
Bo Ruoyou filled two sheets of rice paper, and walked towards the study with a serious face, but saw Mrs. Fu walking out from the front porch of the study, stepping back and forth, with fear on his face as he walked, looking carefully, there were two more Very happy, she raised her eyebrows, at this time, Eunuch Fu also saw her.
Mr. Fu always treated her kindly, but now that he knew Huo Weilou's thoughts, he saw that she was different from others, "Youyou, have you written it all?"
At this moment the night was getting dark, Bo Ruoyou looked tired, she nodded, Eunuch Fu followed her and took two steps, "Okay, the gifted man from Lu may have some time to arrive at the mansion, you just have to report back to Lord Hou. "
Bo Ruoyou responded, Eunuch Fu looked at her and stopped for a moment, but left without saying anything.
Bo Ruoyou was a little inexplicable, she didn't know what happened to Eunuch Fu, when she stepped through the door, she saw Huo Weilou's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and when she heard footsteps coming in, she raised her eyes and saw that it was her, her complexion seemed to darken again .
She was at a loss for a moment, not knowing why Huo Weilou was angry, if Huo Weilou was angry at this moment, Eunuch Fu had no reason not to remind her.
She hesitated, almost turning around and going out.
"What are you doing standing there?" Huo Weilou said angrily.
What Eunuch Fu just said just hit his sore spot. He felt that Bo Ruoyou was innocent and stupid, but he never thought about it, what would happen if Bo Ruoyou didn't see him in his eyes
Although he looked at the old man and was serious, only Huo Weilou knew how much conceit he had in his heart. When this conceit was on Bo Ruoyou, he was even more so than me. How could Bo Ruoyou not see him in his eyes
The more he thought about it, the sharper his eyes became, forcing Bo Ruoyou to stop at the desk, not daring to approach.
"Lord Hou—"
Bo Ruoyou hesitated, Huo Weilou said in a low voice, "Say."
Bo Ruoyou swallowed, and then said: "Lu Wenhe lied a lot. He said that he only met Wei Ling twice, but judging from Wei Ling's letter, there must be more than that. He also said that after the first meeting, So he rejected Wei Ling's request, and said that he knew that Wei Ling and his status were very different, and he had no future, so he decided to deal with her after seeing her admiration, but what Wei Ling said in his letter was not the same—"
Huo Weilou looked slightly relieved, and waved, "Bring it here and let me have a look."
This natural word "I" didn't realize until Bo Ruoyou walked up to him. Huo Weilou took the two pages of paper, which were filled with beautiful hairpin small letters, but most of them were short sentences, not chapters. , Bo Ruoyou said a little impressively: "Hou Ye probably can't understand it, the girl's writing is a bit messed up—"
Huo Weilou let out an "oh" and leaned back on the chair back, "Then tell me."
He held the paper in one hand and did not let go, and Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but leaned closer, "All the words and sentences here are made up of the excerpted words just now, and there may be some distortions, but the folk girl has compared them After that, most words appear more than once, so most should make sense."
Huo Weilou nodded, and Bo Ruoyou pointed to the paper and said, "It's just what I just said, Wei Ling's words are extremely humble, in addition to the elegant name, he often uses the word 'Mr. Ling wrote several places about looking forward to seeing him again, and also full of yearning for him, the words are both ambiguous and condescending, as if the whole person is controlled by Lu Wenhe, and when he was excited, he even wrote a wish to dedicate himself to him."
"If Lu Wenhe really sternly rejected Wei Ling's invitation, why would she keep claiming that he is her husband? And Lu Xiu said that Wei Ling is lively, and he likes poetry, coupled with his noble background, how could he be so humble to Lu Wenhe? What's more, the education Wei Ling received from childhood must be excellent, but there are many ambiguous words in this letter—"
Huo Weilou frowned slightly, "Where?"
Bo Ruoyou leaned over, "There are a few places in ordinary love poems, here are the words 'Hehuan' and the word 'Wushan'." She pointed out one by one, Huo Weilou who had unknowingly left more and more Nearly, at this time, she pointed to the next few words, "There is also the word 'red candle' here. Could it be that she wants to marry Lu Wenhe? It's just why she wrote 'pouring red candle'? It's a bit strange..."
Bo Ruoyou's face was puzzled, but Huo Weilou's face changed instantly. He frowned and looked at Bo Ruoyou, and saw her waist was full, her eyebrows were picturesque, her mouth was lightly opened, and the fragrance on her body seemed to be spiritual. Throwing on Huo Weilou, he suddenly put the paper in his hand on the table, "This is enough."
Bo Ruoyou straightened up and took two steps back, "Lu Wenhe and Wei Ling have met more than once. Later, she went to Chongwen Library many times. She probably had a private meeting with Lu Wenhe, but she didn't see Lu Wenhe on the day of the incident. Then she went to the calligraphy and painting hall."
Huo Weilou glanced at Bo Ruoyou, who was unaware, but his expression was a little gloomy. Wei Ling might not just have a private opinion with Lu Wenhe.
There are still a few pieces of paper left that have not been transcribed, but now that Lu Wenhe can be convicted of lying, Huo Weilou does not need her to transcribe any more. At this moment, it is past half hour, and the night is already very dark. Bo Ruoyou is hesitating whether to leave the house or not, Lu Wenhe was captured by Ning Xiao.
Huo Weilou wanted to continue questioning in the side hall, and when Bo Ruoyou was about to follow, Huo Weilou for some reason refused to let her follow, but she had no choice but to stay in the main hall.
Compared to the last time when he was waiting in the side hall, Lu Wenhe was in a state of distress today. When he was pushed into the side hall, Huo Weilou was sitting leisurely drinking tea in the main seat. When he was brought, he didn't even frown. Lift it up.
Lu Wenhe was apprehensive, he shook his sleeves and wanted to salute, but Ning Xiao kicked him in the crook of the leg, making him fall to his knees in an instant, Ning Xiao said coldly: "Can you stand and salute in front of Lord Hou?" There are not many of them, what are you?"
Lu Wenhe showed pain, and his face turned red very quickly. Although he is not an official, he is a scholar, and he has passed the exam. This dynasty treats scholars with courtesy, so he would not kneel. Obviously, Today is very different from that day.
"Greetings... Greetings to Lord Hou." Lu Wenhe said anxiously.
Huo Weilou still didn't look at him, but his eyes lightly fell on the teacup in his hand, but the more he was so quiet, Lu Wenhe felt an invisible oppressive force like a net covering him, forcing him to breathe hard. After a while, he was dripping with cold sweat.
Ning Xiao said: "Do you know why I brought you here tonight?"
Lu Wenhe shook his head in fear, "I don't know, I don't know, what should be said has already been said last time, I dare not say a half-truth."
Huo Weilou raised his eyes at this moment, his eyes were dark, and there was a sharp cold light, he raised his hand, and Eunuch Fu stepped forward and threw the scraps of paper written by Wei Ling in front of him.
Although the piece of paper was fine and broken, the handwriting on it was obvious. Lu Wenhe recognized the words on the paper sprinkled with gold at a glance, and his face turned pale, "This... what is this? Who wrote this?"
Seeing that he was still acting so pretentious, Huo Weilou suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at the sky outside, "What time is it?"
Mr. Fu said fairly: "Master Hou, it's time to be ugly."
Huo Weilou nodded slightly, "The Marquis is tired, take him to the prison for interrogation."
Eunuch Fu immediately said: "Yes, there are still three hours before dawn, before dawn, you should be able to shake out every single word."
Lu Wenhe didn't react for a while, but saw Eunuch Fu waving his hand at Ning Xiao, Ning Xiao immediately brought two embroidered clothes envoys to come up to him, and the two lifted him up, one on the left and the other on the right, and then he turned back abruptly. Come on, take him to jail! All the tricks were done before dawn, which clearly meant that they would be served with great punishment.
Who in the world doesn't know the method of embroidering clothes and interrogating confessions by torture? !
Lu Wenhe's expression changed drastically, "Master Hou, what does Master Hou want to ask, please ask me, I dare not hide it—"
Huo Weilou didn't say a word, Lu Wenhe was coerced and led to the door.
Seeing that he was about to be taken out, Lu Wenhe knew that if he didn't open his mouth, he would really have no chance, so he twisted his neck with difficulty and shouted: "Master Hou, I do know the second lady of the uncle's house, we...we are in love..."
The embroiderer froze because of his words, Huo Weilou looked at him indifferently, as if looking at something dead again, "It's rare for me to see such a lifeless person like you." He waved his hands as he spoke, as if he didn't intend to listen to him anymore Word.
Lu Xiuwen was dragged away again. Seeing that he was about to go out, Lu Xiuwen twisted his body and said: "Master! The villain is recruiting, the villain is recruiting... Wei Ling is stupid, I... I tricked her …”
Huo Weilou moved his fingers lazily, and the embroiderer let him go. Lu Wenhe returned to his knees, walked a few steps on his knees, and then said with a bit of tears: "The first time we met was indeed at Uncle Zhongyi's mansion. At the literary meeting, Wei Ling liked my poems, and she really wanted to make friends with her. I saw that she was Miss Bofu, so... I never refused, but she said that she wanted to invite me to be a teacher, but it was impossible. Because I am famous for my talent, it is impossible for me to really be a teacher. Secondly, how could their family allow a young man to teach in the mansion? I... knew it was impossible, so I rejected her. "
"On the contrary, she thinks that I am ambitious and indifferent to fame and fortune, so she appreciates me more and more." Lu Wenhe looked up at Huo Weilou in surprise, and continued after seeing that he was not angry: "Although I refuse to teach, I don't want to let go of such a thing." Opportunity, my family has been in decline since I was a child, and I have been relying on the support of Luji Restaurant. I... If I had a good background, where would I end up where I am today? If that is the case, then I am Miss Bofu, why am I not worthy? What? I made an appointment with her at the Liang Kee wine shop on Fushun Street in the east of the city."
"Liang Ji wine shop?" Huo Weilou frowned, although he felt that this wine shop was very strange, but it was on Fushun Street, but it was in the same place as Chongwen Library.
Lu Wenhe nodded, "That was my mother's dowry, and there was only a small shop left over these years. The usual business there is cold, but there is a small yard behind, and I have a bookstore there. I..."
The next words seemed to make Lu Wenhe a little apprehensive, but thinking that if he did not confess truthfully, he would go to jail, he finally took a deep breath and said, "When I invited you, I said that I had a different status with her, and asked her not to tell anyone , Later, she came as promised. The first two times, I only talked to her about calligraphy and painting. As long as I picked out those difficult words, she felt that I was very powerful. Gradually, she became more and more obedient to me, and she She has a noble status and was pampered and brought up since she was a child, so she can't bear to be wronged, but I saw her pure nature, so I made her obey me by using the method of wanting to promote before suppressing."
"What is the method of restraining before promoting?" Huo Weilou asked.
Lu Wenhe's face turned pale, "That's it... just count her bad things first. She felt ashamed and anxious at that time, and she knew that I was good at poetry, so she asked me to teach her. I will give her a little advice, and then I will praise her. It made her fall in love with me even more, and later, she was willing to do whatever I asked her to do."
First, he suppressed and humiliated Wei Ling so much that his pride as an aristocratic daughter collapsed, and then he regarded him as a great talent, respecting and obeying him more and more, killing and punishing others. This method of controlling people is more cruel than stabbing a knife. There is no half sincerity at all, but Lu Wenhe said it so lightly.
Huo Weilou said coldly: "So, you made her watch pornographic songs, and then seduced her."
Lu Wenhe raised his eyes in horror, "I didn't... I just..." He shrunk his shoulders and lowered his head, "I just got close to her for a while, if I had sex, I would get into endless trouble, I..."
So far, the mystery of why Wei Ling went to the Chongwen Library alone every time has been solved, but everyone focused on the library, but did not notice the Qingliang Liquor Shop not far from the Chongwen Library, and how could Wei Ling usually go there? general place
Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes were full of coldness, and Lu Wenhe, who was so horrified, was about to collapse on the ground, and he asked again: "Have you ever been to Chuzhou?"
Lu Wenhe was a little dazed at this moment, "Never... never been there."
Huo Weilou sneered, "Wei Ling thought that you were talented, but she must have never thought that you are just a waste of talent and name, but you even have to find someone to write poems for you."
Lu Wenhe froze in place as if struck by lightning. He came here only for Wei Ling's case, but he never expected that Huo Weilou would even find out about this matter. "I... I'm not... I can write... I just can't write for a while..."
Obviously, Lu Wenhe was even more terrified of being exposed as a mediocre person. Huo Weilou said with cold eyes: "But you instigated Wei Ling to buy your poems and paintings?"
Lu Wenhe was sweating like rain, and he was a little unnaturally tired, "I... I can't write... oh yes... I mentioned a few words, but I... didn't really ask her to buy it."
"Ah, yes, I want her to spread my talent and fame throughout the family circle, so that those who look at me coldly will regret it."
"Oh no, I didn't ask her to buy it. She wanted to buy it herself. She admired me so much. She was so stupid that she could die for me. Later, when I saw that she was really stupid, I was a little scared. , she didn't want to see her, but she was still chasing after her. She wrote many letters and sent them to the wine shop. She also said that only I can teach her, that she can't live without me, ha ha, ha ha... "
Lu Wenhe's expression was sad, he repeated his words, his face seemed angry and fearful, and then he laughed foolishly for a while, as if he was going crazy. Seeing this, Eunuch Fu was a little worried, and Huo Weilou asked again: "Have you ever seen a cinnabar mole on her body?" ?”
Lu Wenhe raised his eyes, his eyes were a little faint, "The cinnabar mole? The cinnabar mole is on her heart, it is beautiful... very beautiful... I also... I even drew a picture, I love her very much, I have never I have painted a woman, she is the first... "
Huo Weilou frowned, "Have you ever painted her nude?!"
Lu Wenhe's body trembled convulsively, he only shook his head, but he couldn't say a word, the saliva flowed down from the corner of his lips, and the next moment, he really collapsed on the ground, Mr. Fu said, "I'm afraid it's a loss of heart." crazy."
Huo Weilou waved his hands angrily, "Find someone safe to treat, and then send people to Liangji wine shop and Lu Wenhe's house to search."
Ning Xiao took him to Liangji wine shop, Mr. Fu said fairly, "Master Ming, please come here?"
Huo Weilou nodded noncommittally, and Eunuch Fu was a little distressed, "It's so late, and it's so inconvenient for Mr. Ming..."
But now, it's hard to find a good doctor when you go out on the street. Huo Weilou doesn't even feel pity for women, so why would he delay his work because of the inconvenience of Ming Guilan? Ill and weak, go and call him, Lu Wenhe has painted paintings, if the murderer happens to see him, it is an opportunity for the murderer to regard Wei Ling as a murder target, the sooner he can be interrogated here, the better."
Eunuch Fu had no choice but to give orders, and the two embroiderers took Lu Wenhe to the ear room to watch. Huo Weilou sat for a while, and suddenly felt empty around him. He remembered that Bo Ruoyou was still in the main hall, so he got up and went to the main hall.
In the main hall, Bo Ruoyou was packing up the shredded papers that were full of cases. Seeing Huo Weilou's return, his eyes lit up slightly, "Master Hou, the interrogation is over? What can you ask?"
Huo Weilou walked to her side, "Almost as we expected, Lu Wenhe did find someone to write for him, and he and Wei Ling met privately many times, and the place is also on Fushun Street, which is the wine shop where his mother married."
Bo Ruoyou neatly put the written papers aside, thinking that it might be used as evidence, but Huo Weilou glanced at it, and saw the words "pouring red candle" on it again, and his brows frowned , took the piece of paper over a roll, put it on the lamp and lit it.
Bo Ruoyou was startled, and looked around, just in time to see that the four characters were being burned, "It's pouring red—"
Before he finished speaking, Huo Weilou had already patted her on the top of her hair, "You know what it means to read it?"
Bo Ruoyou patted her head, "Natural women don't know, so does Lord Hou know?"
A piece of paper quickly turned into ashes, Huo Weilou gave her a condescending look, but turned around and went to the study without saying a word, Bo Ruoyou stood where she was, with countless questions popping up in her heart.
Suddenly, Huo Weilou, whose figure was about to disappear, turned back half a step, and told her: "Don't ask other people what that means."
Although Bo Ruoyou was surprised, she nodded obediently.
The author has something to say: Small theater:
Then one day, Youyou finally understood what pouring red candles meant.
Youyou: backache, that is, backache.
