The Lady Rose Petal Chapter 2

No one in the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew the nature of Howard.

Although they have power in the hands, they are not close to female s3x, and they are most taboo to entrain female **** into tolerance. The number of people who have been investigated by Howard because of the word “female s3x” is countless.

Harrison was shocked immediately, “No, no, no, it’s not the work of Quentin Prefecture, but the work of Qingshan County under the government.”

Howard is no more than a weak crown and can stand in front of everyone, but he has a power of oppressing people like a mountain peak. His phoenix eyes are narrow, and his voice is more pressing than the cold winter wind. Poor and weak county?”

Harrison was startled. He didn’t expect that Howard knew a lot about Quentin. He was afraid of harming his subordinates and hurriedly sought help: “Although Miss Bo works as a clerk in Qingshan County, she is not a clerk who has a low-level citizenship. She won’t use her, she…because she knows some medical skills and has a clever post-mortem method, she has been helping the government…”

She is not a sgumbag, but she has been a slave, and she is still a woman, which is really unheard of.

Huo Wei’s happiness and anger are difficult to distinguish on the floor, and he only puts on a sentence: “Whoever this Hou is doing a job, women should not enter.”

The words settled, Howard raised his steps, and he walked straight past Ruby’s side, neither allowing Ruby to get up, let alone looking at her again. He is Wu Zhaohou who is worshipped by the people. To him, Bo Ruoyu is like walking on a small amount of dust. You don’t even need to brush it. You only need to blow it gently and fall into the snow mud.

Howard is like this, how can other people care about Ruby, everyone is silent to keep up, although Harrison has eyes full of apologetics, but he dare not intercede for her, everyone is calling from the mountains, and the tsunami is leaving, only Ruby Still kneeling in the ice and snow.

Although Ruby is humble, she has never been so contemptuous. She feels even more that even if she gets up and leaves at this moment, she will not alarm the aloof Wu Zhaohou if she thinks about it.

However, she did not dare.

The sky dimmed, and the new wind rose. Ruby raised his head and glanced at the snowy sky. The sigh disappeared into the wind before it drifted far.

As soon as he entered the hospital door, Howard’s eyes sank. He swept the talisman paper gourd into his eyes and walked straight to the main room. The door was ajar. Howard saw the eerie view of the room at a glance, but he didn’t. There was a slight change in color, inside the door, standing in front of the coffin bed, his eyes scanned plainly over the corpse and the Zha Yin Tong.

“When the second deceased Walter Zheng was pushed downstairs, how could it be concluded that the ghost of the Ophelia was the cause?” Howard had no more than two cups of tea in the house, but he had already asked the whole case, and now he saw the corpse, he asked. Vital point.

At this time, a man in Huafu took a step forward and respectfully said: “That day was the first seven days of his mother. There was a memorial service at the house, and all children and grandchildren should be there. But everyone arrived, but the second brother was not seen. When I went to find out, I said that the second elder brother had arrived at the Yueyue Pavilion and locked the door from the inside.”

The person who spoke was Wesley Zheng, the third master of the Anqing Ophelia.

He continued: “When we heard that something was wrong, and at that time we suspected that he was related to his mother’s death, so we all went to Yingyue Pavilion to see. Behind him, a figure was not in the darkness. We were feeling strange, and we saw that the shadow pushed the second brother down, and the robe worn by the shadow was the one worn by the mother when she passed away. robe.”

“My mother believes in Buddha. It is a plain coat made of crow-blue embroidered auspicious and cloud-patterned tapestry silk imitating a Buddhist monk’s robe. This is the only one in the world! Because it was worn by my mother when she died. According to the rules, the robe has been taken and burned, and the bright moon that night hangs high, although it is high, we can all see it clearly, and the figure of the shadow is exactly the same as that of the mother. The mother is old and has a rickety back. , The shadow is the same.”

After Wesley finished speaking, he sighed, mourning between his eyebrows and eyes, as if to cry, “It is said that the appearance of a person at death is the appearance of a ghost. The mother has worked for a lifetime, but in the end he will be harmed by his own flesh and blood. This made her soul uneasy and gave birth to evil spirits.”

Howard looked sideways and glanced at him.

Wesley’s appearance is fairly gentle, and he was born in the Ophelia, and he was courteous in dealing with others, but Howard’s glance made him lower his head quickly, as if his mourning on his face was just a thin layer of paper, and he was lightly poked by Howard. , It broke.

Howard retracted his gaze, “So, Walter fell to death?”

Wesley hurriedly said: “That’s right, I lost my breath on the spot with my smashed head. The corpse is now parked in the west courtyard. If Master Hou wants to see it, he can go now.”

Huo Wei Building didn’t move, and looked at the Ophelia’s body again, “He Zhifu, tell me about it.”

Harrison was the chief officer of the case, and he heard the sound of an awakening, and immediately said: “Master Hou, the next official thought that ghost killing was really sensational. Although he had seen it with his own eyes, he still had doubts. At that time, the Ophelia had passed away, and the second master died. It was the work of others. As for the death of the Ophelia, there is… it may be caused by a sudden illness.”

After Harrison finished his words, he was still frightened. He went to the front hall to discuss the autopsy. But when he arrived in the front yard, he heard that the people sent from the capital had arrived. He was already panicked at the time, and what he did not expect was that , It was not from the Xinyang Hou’s Mansion, but the Wu Zhaohou who was feared by the entire Zhou Dynasty!

Later, there was a long delay in picking up the driver. Fortunately, Wu Zhaohou quickly asked about the incident. However, until he came over, he had no chance to ask for the autopsy.

Howard frowned, “Hidden illness?”

Harrison was about to answer, and Wesley on the side handed his hands over: “Master Hou, my mother has always been healthy and free from illness. Otherwise, she would not stay up until the 30th night. Therefore, the prefect said, absolutely impossible.”

Harrison glanced at Wesley disapprovingly, “San Ye, the Ophelia is very old, although she looks healthy, but her body organs are very likely to have dark diseases, and she has no symptoms in normal days, but at a certain moment, she suddenly becomes ill. Death is not impossible.”

Wesley looked at Harrison, “This case was handed over to an adult for half a month. The adult had always said that the cause of death of the mother of the monk could not be verified.

When Wesley finished his polite speech, Harrison felt a knife rest on his neck in an instant. He hurriedly glanced at Howard, “San Ye’s words are bad. This is not my urgency, but what I did. !”

Wesley sneered, “Which one did it?”

Harrison raised his hand to Ruby outside, “Boy girl! It was Ruby who said it!”

Wesley made more mockery on his face, thinking of the rumors about Huo Wei Building, he was even more unscrupulous, “An adult would believe in a female stream! The mother’s body was stopped in this courtyard, and the adult brought an outsider without permission. He was rude. Now , I even reported a woman’s nonsense to Lord Hou, and I don’t know what Ecstasy the woman gave to Master He?”

Harrison would always be very careful with these powerful and powerful people. In addition, he was a clumsy tongue person. How could he catch these soft knives. At this time, he couldn’t help but said: “How can it be nonsense? Thin girl? Although she is a woman, she has helped this mansion solve several outstanding cases! Our mansion has been an official in Quentin for many years, and there is no backlog in his hands! In the past two years, almost all cases have been helped by the thin girl!”

Harrison glared with cheeks, Wesley glanced at Howard, who was calm, and laughed aloud: “Well, then the prefect, but what kind of hidden illness did his mother die?”

Shicai Harrison still answered with confidence, but this question stumped him, his face was stagnant, “This… Speaking of this, I have something to ask the third master. Although the Bo girl speculates that the Ophelia is suffering from a hidden illness She died, but the specific reason is He Yinji. She still needs an autopsy to make a decision, and this re-examination requires an autopsy, I don’t know Sanye…”

“What? Autopsy?” Wesley’s voice suddenly raised, his eyes swept across Huo Wei Building, and his voice was suppressed, but he was still angry, “What kind of identity is my mother! How can you let you have your body? The grievances of her elders are hard to dissipate, and who will be responsible for the murder again?”

Wesley gritted his teeth and said: “Don’t say she is a little girl, it is the heavenly king Lao Tzu who is here! Don’t even want to touch her mother’s body!”

Harrison helplessly said: “San Ye, all in order to solve the case, don’t you want to know how the Ophelia died? It is the spirit of the Ophelia who can really find out the truth about the death of the Ophelia.”

Wesley sneered again and again, and wanted to scold him again, but Howard suddenly turned around. He walked out slowly, stood still under the corridor, and looked towards the courtyard gate.

The cold wind swallowed and the clouds were overwhelming. In a icy sky, Ruby was still kneeling, but her posture was like a bamboo on her cloak, without any damage.

Howard narrowed his eyes, “She’s here for an autopsy?”

Harrison hurriedly said, “Yes, Lord Hou.”

Wesley stood behind and hummed: “Does Hou Ye think it’s impossible? The woman looks so young. I think Master He was really bewildered by the woman’s appearance, and actually believed her! What’s more, the government’s investigative methods There are so many, why do we need an autopsy?”

“Let her undergo an autopsy.”

Everything in the world is quiet.

Wesley looked at Howard, and couldn’t believe that the four characters of Shicai were spoken from him.

Harrison was stunned, but never reacted.

After all, a moment ago, Howard also said-women should not enter where he is doing errands.

Howard’s words are cold, but they are indisputable, and they are indisputable. “When I came here, I was entrusted by Xinyang Hou. If the Ophelia’s death is really suspicious, we must find out the reason. For this, we can pay any price. “

Today’s Xinyang Hou is the Ophelia’s elder brother.

Wesley opened his mouth and didn’t say a word for a long time. Don’t say he was entrusted by Xinyang Hou, or he didn’t. If Howard said it could be examined, everyone present, who would dare to say no?

What Howard said was the final result. He whispered, “Bring people here.”

Most of the people who followed behind him were Howard’s relatives, and one of them had gray temples and looked old, but his face was white without beard, and even his eyebrows were very shallow. Compared with other young and cold guards with swords, It seems particularly noticeable.

As soon as Howard’s voice fell, he smiled and stepped forward, “The old slave goes and invites him. I have been kneeling for so long. It is really pitiful.”

The opening voice was slightly sharp, and it was actually a father-in-law.

If it is someone else, in front of Huo Wei Building, he would not dare to be so unintentional, but this person, Huo Wei Building’s look is unusual, he turned his head and looked inside the hall, “Remove these things and get a chair. “

After speaking, Howard entered the house, and the guards with knives all entered the door, and soon moved the Zhizhayin boy out of the house.

These are the insidious boys who suppressed the Ophelia’s hard soul!

Wesley and Wu Ye Warren Zheng stood outside the door, their eyes frightened, but they did not dare to gasp.

These guards with knives are embroidered with three-legged one-eyed golden black patterns on their **** with silver threads. They are the embroidered clothes of the emperor Shangqin and Xiachabaiguan. These people can see that the princes do not kneel, and the Zheng family brothers have it. A hundred guts did not dare to stop it.

Outside the courtyard, Ruby’s whole body was frozen. She thought helplessly. It turned out that this was the famous Wu Zhaohou. It was rumored that he was not close to a woman. Although he was already a weak crown, there was not even a maidservant around him. Some people say he has a hidden illness, and some people say he likes Longyang…

Ruby didn’t see whether Howard had hidden illnesses or whether Longyang was good or not, but he could see that he really hated women involved in tolerance.

Ruby rubbed her knees. Just when she thought she was about to kneel until dark, a footstep approached behind her, and then a slightly weird voice rang out, “Girl, I’m so sorry, let you kneel for a long time. ...”

Ruby turned his eyes, and the next moment a kind face appeared in front of him, and the person who came to sighed: “We Hou Ye knows everything, but we don’t know how to care for the girl’s house, get up quickly…”

The person in front of him smiled gently, and the tone was soft and apologetic, Bo Ruo faintly surprised, “You are…”

“My surname is Fu, and I am a servant who serves Lord Hou.”

Bo Ruo faintly asked, “But Lord Hou asked me to leave the house?”

Duke Fu sneered, “Where is the house away! Lord Hou asked you to do an autopsy, get up quickly.”

This was really beyond Ruby’s expectation. She was surprised, and Felix Fu gave her a hand, and said with a serious voice, “Girl, this is your only chance. If you miss it, you will really leave the house.”

When Ruby followed Father Fu to the main house, he saw the lights inside the door were brightly lit, and the Zhazha Yin children were removed. Howard immediately sat on a wide chair, his eyes deep and unpredictable on the Ophelia’s. On the corpse.

Hearing the noise, Howard’s eyes swept over.

Ruby also looked at him, but unexpectedly, he met his eyes again.

Ruby hurriedly cast his eyes down to be submissive, but Howard raised his eyebrows slightly.

It is rare to be so intimidated by him, but there is neither fear nor resentment in his eyes.

Standing behind the Huo Wei Building, Harrison said at this moment: “Hou Ye, Miss Bo, and an arbitrage post-mortem, as long as she is tested, the Ophelia’s cause of death will definitely be understood.”

On the floor, Huo Wei didn’t distinguish between happiness and anger, but the words that he could speak made Ruby and Harrison look different.

Harrison’s eyes were dark, and he almost fell to his knees. He understood that if he couldn’t detect it, it was his negligence in employing people. He also used women. Huo Wei Tower was ruthless in the officialdom and was known as the jade-faced Yama. Harrison faintly felt that his black yarn might not be guaranteed.

In contrast, Ruby was so calm, her eyebrows seemed to be raised, but her expression quickly returned to calm.

Howard looked in the bottom of his eyes and pointed to the corpse, “Go.” After a pause, “The idlers and others are all retiring.”

The Wesley brothers looked at each other and said, “Go out and wait, you can’t stand it.”

Wesley and Zheng Wen’an looked at each other, bowed their hands to Huo Wei Tower before leaving.

Ruby untied his cloak, rolled up his cuffs, and chose the knives from the equipment he had prepared. When he stood next to the coffin bed, Howard’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly...because Ruby had a kind of him. Familiar, almost cold concentration solemnly.

The sky was gloomy outside, but a few more oil lamps were added in the room to make everything clear.

The brilliant lights also reflected the thin and delicate face. Father Fu stood behind the Huo Wei Building and said, “It’s rare, it’s rare, it’s beautiful to see a beautiful woman under the light, and there is a corpse next to it, the beautiful woman is even more beautiful.” .”

His voice was extremely low, and Ruby, who focused on the autopsy, could not hear it, but Harrison and Howard did.

Harrison was sweating profusely because of Howard’s words. He swept his side eyes and saw that Howard’s eyes were falling deeply on Ruby’s face. Harrison was shocked in his heart. It is one of the few in Quentin City, and how abstinence and self-control Howard is, it is also an adult man, is it…

As soon as this thought came out, Howard’s gaze slipped, and fell on Ruby’s knife calmly. Obviously, compared to Ruby’s face, Howard wanted to see how she cut open the carrion in front of her. .

Harrison was dumbfounded, and the rumors in his heart were true!

Ruby’s first knife cut precisely along three inches below the corpse’s ribs.

The Ophelia passed away for many days, the body was swollen, and the chest and abdomen were especially swollen. At this moment, the skin and flesh were cut open, and the foul smell that had accumulated in the abdominal cavity for many days suddenly dissipated. Both Harrison and Father Fu frowned subconsciously, but Ruby had eyebrows. Not changed, but her action of cutting the skin and flesh of the corpse was as ordinary as she was cutting tofu.

The belly was cut open, revealing the decayed and discolored organs. Ordinary people would find it difficult to distinguish a clump of dirt, but Ruby thin, but carefully examined it, her expression was serious, her ink pupil was like a knife. As if any abnormality could not escape her eyes, such a thin Ruby almost made people feel sacred and solemn.

Don’t say that there are no ghosts in the world, even if there are ghosts, they will never approach her.

The lights in the hall were dimmed and bright, and outside the door, the night was completely shrouded, and the small courtyard was hidden in the snowy night, showing a sense of sadness and horror for no reason. Inside the room, her thin, long and white fingers were soaked in cold corpse water, but her hand holding the knife was always stable. After almost an hour, she exhaled and straightened up.

A thin layer of sweat hung on his forehead, and Ruby was obviously tired. Harrison couldn’t wait to ask, “Xiaobo, how?”

“The Ophelia really died of a hidden illness.”

When Ruby spoke, he determined the cause of the Ophelia’s death.

“A large amount of congestion was found in the abdominal wall of the corpse. This was caused by the formation of a knot in the blood network in the abdomen, the blood flow was blocked, and the blood network was swollen and then ruptured. This hidden disease has been two or three years old, but it was asymptomatic at first. It’s extremely difficult to detect, and within three months, the Ophelia should have back pain, but the old man’s back pain is very common, and it must be ignored by the people in the house.”

Harrison asked hurriedly, “So, the Ophelia was not murdered?”

Ruby frowned, his eyes seemed to hesitate.

Howard never spoke, but at the moment he said, “It’s okay to say it straight.”

Thin Ruby pursed her lips, “According to the amount of blood congestion in the Ophelia’s abdominal cavity and the degree of blood collateral rupture, the size of the bulging knot will not be spontaneously broken. The bulge can cause the cup to be the size of a cup. At that time, even if you just lie down, the disease can rupture, but the blood in the Ophelia’s abdomen is at most the size of a walnut. If there is no accident, there should be no sudden illness.”

Ruby described it concretely, and Howard said: “What kind of situation will cause the disease to occur?”

Ruby thought about it for a while: “Affected by work, full of anger, or bumping into people, pushing and bumping, etc., may induce the disease…”

The Ophelia must not be affected by work, but if it is the latter two situations, it is very suspicious.

Howard looked out the door: “Let Wesley come in.”

Ruby sorted out the body in a thoughtful manner, and soon Wesley and Warren entered. Before he could take a look at the Ophelia’s body, he listened to Howard’s question: “Pass the Ophelia before and after her death, and repeat it again.”

Wesley didn’t know the results of the autopsy. He heard Howard’s question and quickly said: “On the New Year’s Eve, my mother insists on keeping her years old. She believes in Buddhism. Sometimes she copies the scriptures in the Buddhist hall all night. Obstructing, I thought it was just an ordinary night, but I didn’t expect that she was found dead in the Buddhist hall early the next morning.”

“The eve of the first day was New Year’s Eve, and my mother didn’t let the maidservant take care of her when she was in the temple. So that night, there was only the mother in the temple. It was still the second day that the maidservant opened the door of the temple. Lying neatly in front of the Buddhist altar, the whole person seemed to be asleep, but when he walked to the front, he realized that he had already died and his body was frozen…”

Suddenly, Ruby’s expression turned into a bit unbearable. Howard seemed to be able to look at all directions, and he looked over in the next instant, “How?”

Ruby said solemnly: “Master Hou, my lord, this hidden disease attacks very quickly, and the onset is swift and violent. At that time, people will have abdominal pain like cramping, and the pain is difficult to bear. If the Ophelia has symptoms like this, it takes two cups of tea. She will die, and when there is no one outside the room at night, the Ophelia will die alive.”

An old man was so painful that no one knew it, it was really pitiful.

However, Ruby hasn’t finished saying, “It can be painful to everyone. People are struggling to call for help, but the next morning, the Ophelia lay on the ground neatly dressed…If what Sanye said is true, then, There must be a second person in the Buddha Hall that night.”

At this point, Ruby’s voice suddenly became cold.

“The man watched the Ophelia in pain. Not only did he not save the Ophelia, but he might even stop the Ophelia from calling for help. After the Ophelia died, he helped her tidy up her clothes and looked like she was sleeping.”

There was a quiet needle drop in the room, and Howard looked thin, and for the first time there was some temperature in the bottom of his eyes.
