After listening to Jiang Xu's words, everyone looked at each other, but they still didn't say a word.

After Jiang Xu said those words, he hurriedly explained: "Since Xiangyun got married, I haven't seen him again, yesterday was purely accidental, I panicked because of this, because I was afraid of being regarded as a murderer by you, but I really didn't kill anyone, you must believe me." ”

Ouyang Xiu glanced at Hua Lang, then looked at Jiang Xu and said, "We will investigate your matter, but now let me ask you, you have known Li Xiangyun for a long time, you should know what kind of person she is, right?" ”

Jiang Xu didn't understand why Ouyang Xiu asked himself such a question, but he still nodded and said, "She is very gentle and very good to people, but she is also a woman, she can't resist the reality after all, and she married a rich man after all." ”

Hearing Jiang Xu say that Li Xiangyun was very gentle, Ouyang Xiu and the others couldn't help but glance at each other again, could it be that Jiang Xu hadn't seen her since Li Xiangyun got married, otherwise how could he say that Li Xiangyun was gentle? Her maids all said that Li Xiangyun was very domineering and had a very bad temper!

There are so many things that time can change, such as people's appearance, people's feelings, and people's personalities.

If Jiang Xu really hadn't met Li Xiangyun for a long time, he naturally didn't know what Li Xiangyun looked like when he got married.

But even so, will Jiang Xu be the murderer?

After letting Jiang Xu leave, Ouyang Xiu said: "Li Xiangyun disliked Jiang Xu and married Shen Sanqian at the beginning, but this does not mean that the two of them no longer love each other, I think the man who fornicated with Li Xiangyun is very likely to be Jiang Xu!" ”

Ouyang Xiu's words are not without a little truth, it's just that they thought that the person who had adulterated with Li Xiangyun was a monk, but now Jiang Xu suddenly came out and said that Li Xiangyun was his first love, what should they do?

After the end, everyone had to set their eyes on Hua Lang, Hua Lang shrugged helplessly, and said: "It's all possible, but why did Jiang Xu suddenly come to tell us this, why didn't he say it when we asked before?" ”

"Maybe he saw that we sent someone to investigate Li Xiangyun's matter, and he was afraid that we would find out about his relationship with Li Xiangyun, so he thought it was better to speak up first." Bao Zheng looked at Hua Lang and said.

Hua Lang nodded slightly, and now he can only explain it like this.

After some discussion, they finally felt that the suspicion was still fixed on the monks of Jincian Temple.

The officials went to investigate the news and didn't come back, so they had to continue to wait.

The night was deep, the lonely courtyard seemed a little empty, and as soon as it was dark, everyone went back to their houses, and no one was willing to come out.

Hua Lang and the others also felt bored after dinner, so they went back to the room early to rest.

But I don't know how long later, Hua Lang and they suddenly heard a miserable scream, the scream was very terrible, and woke Hua Lang and them from their sleep, they rushed out, and then ran to the place where the scream happened, where Li Xiangyun and their courtyard lived, and under the deep moonlight, a bald figure flashed by.

When Hua Lang and the others rushed over, the figure had already disappeared, but Xiao Fang's door shook back and forth, and when the squeak stopped, the door also stopped.

The moonlight shone into Xiao Fang's room, her body was lying in the room, the blood was still flowing, and when everyone saw Xiao Fang's body, they had an urge to vomit, because the scene was so shocking, Xiao Fang's body was curly, and her head was almost touching her feet.

Ouyang Xiu didn't seem to have seen this kind of scene before, after all, although he was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, he was a scholar after all, he looked at Xiaofang's corpse and asked, "How can this be?" ”

Hanaro only glanced at it, then crouched down to examine the body, and said as he examined, "The deceased was stabbed in the heart with a sharp blade, and it was curled because of the extreme pain. ”

When inspecting the corpse, Shen Hongxing and Shen Cherry also came one after another, and when they saw Xiaofang's corpse, they screamed in fright.

After examining the body, Hua Lang said: "A knife killed, but there was blood in the slender nails of the deceased, thinking that it was the murderer who killed her, she symbolically resisted, so I want to know who the murderer is, and see who has just scratched scars." ”

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Ouyang Xiu was very excited and said, "If that's the case, then it's great, because we can find out who the murderer is soon, but I don't understand, what did the murderer do when he killed Xiaofang?" ”

Hua Lang didn't answer Ouyang Xiu's question, he only asked the officials to call all the people in the Golden Cicada Temple first, and when those officials called people, Hua Lang answered Ouyang Xiu's question and said: "It's very simple, because Xiao Fang lied to us, she must have seen something, but she thought about the blackmail murderers who relied on her own knowledge, but she didn't expect the murderer to be more cruel than she imagined, and the murderer not only didn't do what Xiao Fang wanted, but also killed Xiao Fang." ”

This is indeed the most plausible explanation.

After a short time, the official had already called all the monks and pilgrims of the Golden Cicada Temple, Ouyang Xiu looked at those people and said, "When the murderer committed the murder, Xiao Fang cut the murderer's skin with her fingernails, and now we are going to examine each of you." After Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, he glanced at those officials, and then said to Wen Meng and Hua Wan'er: "There are a few women among the pilgrims, please ask the two of you to check on them." ”

Wen Meng and Hua Wan'er followed Hua Lang and did this kind of thing, so the two of them readily agreed.

It was a time-consuming task to perform a full body examination on these people, and everyone was a little impatient to wait outside.

The moonlight is good tonight, and when he was impatient, Hua Lang looked up at the night sky, looking at the beautiful night sky, Hua Lang felt very incomprehensible, how could such a wonderful night be suitable for killing?

But when Hua Lang realized the question he was thinking, he felt that he was too emotional, the murderer killed someone, and it depends on whether the moonlight is beautiful. They kill people as long as it is appropriate, and it doesn't matter what the moonlight is.

When he realized this, Hanalang felt that Lang Man's people were not suitable to be murderers.

When those officials checked all the monks in the monastery, the rooster crow was already heard in the distant village, and the sky was also bright, and a government official hurriedly ran over and reported to Ouyang Xiu: "Lord Hui, we checked everyone, only the abbot Xuanming has a slender scratch on his arm. ”

When they heard that it was the abbot of Xuanming, everyone was very surprised, but they were not very surprised, after all, they had long been suspicious of him.

"Bring the abbot Xuanming here!" Ouyang Xiu instructed the servant.
