Chapter 181 - Nine ileum 13
There is only one Bo family with a three-shangshu book.
The Bo family only had a pair of brothers and sisters, and there was only one dead boy.
When Bo Ruoyou left Zhao He’s house, his steps were all in a hurry. Hu Changqing saw that something was wrong and knew that Bo Ruoyou was the daughter of the Bo family. He followed her with an expression on his face, “Boy girl, this matter. …”
Bo Ruoyou stood still in front of the carriage, “You go back to the Yamen first. If Wu catches the head and comes back, tell him about this and I will go home.”
Bo Ruoyou’s face was pale, his pupils were dull, and he spoke fast but cleanly when speaking. Hu Changqing nodded nervously, before answering, Bo Ruoyou turned abruptly into the carriage.
Uncle Liang drove extremely fast, the carriage was a bit bumpy while it was speeding, Bo Ruoyou leaned on the cold carriage, a heart about to jump out of his heart cavity.
It was said that the child was only four years old, and he was still the little son of a big official.
At first, they were a pair of siblings who lost their lives.
The next day the sister appeared by herself, but the younger brother did not come back.
Bo Ruo took a deep breath, trying to suppress her flustered heartbeat, but the icy air poured in, causing only a dense tingling. She tensed up, buckled her hands together, and pinched Daohong on her fingertips. The mark is also unconscious.
Zhao He is not talking about others, but she and his brother Bo Lanzhou.
The unexpected birth of her younger brother was in Jian and the eighteenth year of the Yuan Festival. This is the only image in her mind. She has not returned to the capital for many years. The dead parents and younger brother gradually became blurred, and her half-parents made up for the lack of family affection. , I just occasionally wondered what accident happened to the brother of my dearest brother.
She suddenly understood why Cheng Yunzhi would not allow her to investigate this case.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Cheng’s house. When Bo Ruoyou got out of the carriage, his hands and feet were soft, and when he entered the mansion gate, he went straight to the study to find Cheng Yunzhi. Cheng Yunzhi was planning a new prescription for the princess. He looked gentle when he raised his eyes. When he saw Bo Ruoyou’s expression, he knew something was wrong, “What’s wrong?”
Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and stood before the book case. “The foster father did not allow me to investigate this case at first, but because this case is very similar to the death of my brother many years ago?”
Cheng Yun sat down and straightened up before hesitating for a moment before saying, “Why ask?”
Cheng Yunzhi replied like this, Bo Ruoyou was very sure that she had expected it to be good, she wrung her eyebrows tightly, and carefully recalled in her mind, “So when my brother had an accident, I disappeared with my brother, and then I came back by myself. Now, my brother never came back. Seven or eight days later, only… only the brother’s body was found?”
Bo Ruoyou’s heart throbbed, and asked like this, but she couldn’t find any scenes in her mind. On the contrary, the more she thought about it, the more painful her heart was and the sudden pain in her temples. Cheng Yunzhi saw that her expression was wrong, and she got up and pulled. Stopped her wrist, “Don’t worry, although this case reminds me of an accident in Lan Zhou, the events of that year have long since passed…”
Cheng Yunzhi ordered her to sit down, and Bo Ruoyou looked at him and said, “No, foster father, the death of my brother back then was very likely not an accident.”
Cheng Yunzhi was about to pour her a cup of warm tea. Hearing this, he looked at Bo Ruoyou. Bo Ruoyou tensed his back and said: “The yamen have been investigating the archives of the past few days. In a similar case, although the file of the brother’s case was not found, another case was discovered. We asked an old clerk who remembered his brother’s case.”
Cheng Yunzhi understood, “He said that Lan Zhou was harmed by others?”
Bo Ruoyou shook his head, “He mentioned the doubts in the case back then. The river beach where his brother was found is two miles away from the missing place. There are a lot of dark rocks on the riverbed. It is impossible not to leave marks, but there are only some small wounds on the body of the younger brother, and there are no corpse spots and blood marks. This is wrong.”
Cheng Yunzhi put the tea cup down heavily, and when he was seated opposite Bo Ruoyou, his figure staggered a little bit. His eyes were bright and uncertain, and he looked at Bo Ruoyou with pity, as if hesitating about something.
Bo Ruoyou asked decisively: “I was young and had a disease, so I can’t remember many things before the age of five. When my brother had an accident, I only have a vague memory. All these years, my foster father has been I avoided mentioning the deaths of my brother and my father and mother. I always thought it was a foster father who was afraid of my hardship, but in fact, things were more than that simple, right?”
There was a mist in Bo Ruoyou’s eyes, and his voice trembled slightly. Cheng Yunzhi couldn’t bear it any more, and knew that he couldn’t keep it. He sighed deeply, “Don’t worry, listen carefully to your adoptive father.”
Bo Ruoyou still stared at Cheng Yunzhi intently. Cheng Yunzhi said in a deep voice, “That year, on Yuan’s Day, your father and mother took your siblings and brothers to see the Lantern Market on the banks of the Luohe River. You and your brother It was lost at that time. There were so many people at that time. Your father and mother immediately called many people to look for after your sister and brother were lost. As long as you don’t leave the market, you will be found, but you eventually disappeared—”
“I only learned about this news the second day that year. On the second day, your father and mother reported to the official. Because it was the young son of the Bo family who had an accident, the government was fairly clean and sent many government officials to investigate. On that afternoon, you A man was lying down on the side of the road, all dirty, and was spotted by a servant on the nearby Zhuangzi, and soon the government officials found you.”
“There was a thunderstorm that night. You were wet at the time. When you came back, you fell ill. The high fever did not go away for five days. During that time, you woke up, but you just said something nonsense, like sick and scared. Mother stayed in the mansion to look after you, and your father ran outside the city. After seven days, Lan Zhou’s body was found.”
“There was an autopsy at that time, and the result of the autopsy was an accidental fall in the river. The body was in the water for too long, and many traces of the murderer were hidden. Even if your father and mother didn’t want to believe it, they could not find the fatal wounds. If you find any clues along the river, this case can only be left unfinished.”
“Because it was determined to be an accident, this case was not recorded by the government. Your father and mother were distraught, and you were seriously ill again. In the following six months, they organized a funeral for Lan Zhou, and then they focused on treating you.”
Bo Ruoyou energetically recalled the situation back then, but only a few vague fragments flashed by, “How can I be sick for so long?”
Cheng Yunzhi recalled that year, his eyes were even more unbearable, “You are just a five-year-old child, and you are usually scared when you leave your family, let alone lost for a day and night, frightened excessively, plus typhoid fever that night for several days, whatever the situation It can happen.”
Bo Ruoyou’s fingertips were trembling, “I can’t remember what happened that night, nor can I remember why my father and mother had an accident.”
Cheng Yunzhi said: “Your father and mother were indeed accidental. You were ill for half a year. When your father and mother were desperate, they began to search for famous doctors and folk remedies. In the winter of that year, they went to Luozhou to seek medical treatment and when they returned to Beijing, There was heavy snow in the Luochuan Mountain north of Luozhou, and their carriage fell into the mountain stream in distress on the mountain and was killed.”
Bo Ruoyou’s eyes shrank violently, “I went to seek a doctor for me…”
“They are your biological parents. It was supposed to find a doctor for you. Afterwards, no one thought of the accident, and it had nothing to do with you.” Cheng Yunzhi seemed to know what she would think and quickly stopped her, “You were sick at the time. Extremely serious, your father and mother lost your brother, it is absolutely impossible to watch you continue to be sick.”
Bo Ruoyou looked at Cheng Yunzhi, “Did I hurt my head after a serious illness and high fever? Why can’t I remember the events of that day and night at all? Is it only I who knows what happened that day and night?”
Cheng Yunzhi wanted to say again, “It is possible to have a bad memory after a serious illness. It is true that no one knows what happened that night, but you were only five years old. As far as father and mother are concerned, you are already lucky when you come back, or your sister and brother are also separated, you don’t know how Lan Zhou was in danger.”
Bo Ruoyou’s heartbeat hit her eardrum again and again, “Has the foster father seen his brother’s body?”
Cheng Yunzhi nodded, “I have seen it. When I saw it, the government had already settled. Lan Zhou was taken back to the mansion and had been put in a coffin. At that time, I was an imperial physician and did not intend to do an autopsy. I only mourned your father’s Mother’s Day. Go along.”
“The foster father couldn’t cure my illness at the time?”
Cheng Yunzhi shook his head, “Almost all the imperial doctors treated you at that time, including my father.”
Suddenly a sorrow surged from the bottom of Bo Ruoyou’s heart. The tip of her nose was sour, and the stray taste spread across her chest. It was unclear whether it was guilt or powerless self-loathing. Things passed for a long time. The five-year-old was sick. Missed the best chance to find out the truth, will she still have a chance after thirteen years?
Her thoughts were chaotic and mixed, and a thread in her mind was tight. At the moment when she was about to break, she raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Yunzhi, “Foster father, I want to re-examine the brother’s case.”
Cheng Yunzhi hesitated for a moment, “Thirteen years, and there was no final decision back then, how can you be sure that Lan Zhou was harmed?”
Bo Ruoyou calmly said, “Because the old ambassador said, my brother’s death is wrong.”
In fact, she still had some uneasy intuitions in her heart. Intuitions must have happened that night, but she was a fool. All she could believe was clues and evidence. She stood up, the panic in her eyes was suppressed, as if she had recovered early. Qian was calm and determined, “I want to take a look at the beach where I found my brother.”
The river beach was outside the city, and Cheng Yunzhi glanced at the sky and quickly persuaded, “It’s not anxious to go to see it, don’t worry.”
Bo Ruoyou clenched his fists in his sleeves, and felt that she couldn’t wait at this moment. Just when she hesitated, Cheng Zhai’s mansion door was knocked on, and soon Zhou Liang walked in with Hou Yang.
The two of them walked outside the door, “Master, Miss, Wu Catchman is here.”
When Bo Ruoyou and Cheng Yunzhi walked out together, they fixed their eyes and saw Hou Yang with bright and bright eyes. When Hou Yang saw Bo Ruoyou, he said with joy: “The county lord, I have found Li Shen’s house. He has harmed Wen. Jin’s murderer!”
Bo Ruoyou’s heart jumped, and Hou Yang continued: “The man ran away, and the head catcher sent someone to arrest him. His house seems to be the place where the crime occurred. The head catcher would like you to visit.”
Bo Ruoyou didn’t expect Wu Xiang to move so fast, thinking that Li Shen might also be the murderer of her brother, she was even in a trance, as long as she could catch the murderer and interrogate the truth about whether her brother was murdered. Why bother?
