Chapter 685 - Harsh

Shen Cherry is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looks slightly immature and green compared to Shen Hongxing.

After she stood still in the house, her expression was sad, and she kept wiping her tears, and Hua Lang glanced at her and asked, "Cherry girl, what did you do where you went after your mother separated from you last night?" ”

Shen Cherry was silent for a moment before he spoke: "After we separated from our mother, we went back to the room to rest, and we didn't go there. ”

"So when your mother usually comes to the Golden Cicada Temple, have you seen her at night?"

When asked about this question, Shen Cherry was a little nervous and said, "No...... Haven't seen it! ”

"How is your mother's conduct?"

"My mother was a woman and never gossiped."

Hearing that Shen Cherry and Shen Hongxing said something similar, Hua Lang and Bao Zheng Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but glance at each other, and then, Hua Lang continued to ask: "In normal times, what enemies does your mother have?" ”

Shen Cherry shook her head again and again, and said, "No, although my mother is in charge now, she rarely walks around with relatives, and she is also very polite to the neighbors, so my mother shouldn't have any enemies." ”

After Hua Lang finished asking this question, he had no other questions to ask, so he turned to Ouyang Xiu and said, "Lord Ouyang, do you have something to ask?" ”

Ouyang Xiu bowed slightly, then looked at Shen Cherry and asked, "Your mother was happy with the man last night, she often came to the Golden Cicada Temple, do you think the man who is good with your mother is a monk in the Golden Cicada Temple, or a pilgrim here?" ”

When asked this question, Shen Cherry's face couldn't help but turn red, and it took a long time before she spoke: "I...... I don't know what to say, but I think you must have misunderstood my mother, why did she bring us two sisters if she wanted to have an affair with anyone, wouldn't it be more convenient for her to come alone? ”

The question that Shen Cherry said was indeed very suspicious, but now Hualang and the others couldn't find other clues to discuss this matter, so Ouyang Xiu let her leave after Shen Cherry said that.

The next thing they want to ask is Li Xiangyun's maid Xiaofang, Xiaofang looks quite handsome, her eyes are smart, giving people a very smart feeling, she seems to dislike her master very much, so in the time from Hua Lang seeing her to asking her now, Hua Lang didn't realize that she really cried once.

This is even more true now, after she saluted Ouyang Xiu and the others, she first asked, "I don't know what questions the adults want to ask me?" ”

Ouyang Xiu frowned slightly, feeling more and more suspicious about her, so he asked, "Have you ever seen your wife after dinner last night?" ”

Xiao Fang nodded and said, "I've seen it!" ”

"Seen?" Everyone was taken aback and felt that this might be a very important clue, so they hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”

Xiao Fang smiled and said: "Last night I was in a hurry, so I got up to make it easier, but I saw our wife quietly walked out of her room, and then left the courtyard where we were. ”

Hua Lang frowned slightly, and said, "You really didn't follow?" ”

"Of course, my wife has a bad temper, if she finds out that I am following her, it will be strange if she doesn't pick my skin!"

"So your wife often beats you or doesn't give you a good look?"

After listening to Ouyang Xiu's question, Xiaofang nodded again and again: "Yes, Madam is very domineering, she will beat someone if she doesn't follow her wishes, we are all afraid of her." ”

Ouyang Xiu seemed to have discovered a breakthrough, and continued to ask, "Is this the same for the two young ladies of your family?" ”

"Of course, Mrs. is extremely domineering, and she looks at the two young ladies of our family strictly, and she is not as good as them when she usually goes there, as if she has to be under the nose of Madame, she can feel at ease, and Mrs. comes to the Golden Cicada Temple, and brings the two young ladies every time, just to watch our young lady."

At this time, the situation that Xiao Fang said was already different from what Shen Hongxing and Shen Cherry said, so this had to make Bao Zheng and Ouyang Xiu suspicious.

"What is the conduct of your wife, has she had any fornication with other men or something?"

Xiao Fang thought for a while and said, "This...... I haven't heard of it, but Madame is so powerful, she just steals a man, and she won't let us know the truth. ”

"So that's a sign of that?"

Xiaofang nodded: "Of course, there is a back door in the house, only Mrs. has the key, she never let us go there, and one night, I heard the back door squeak open, I secretly ran to look, and found that Mrs. actually left the house from behind!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and nodded a little heartily, it was so late, Li Xiangyun left her home, what else could she do besides going to meet her lover?

After letting Xiaofang go down, Ouyang Xiu said: "It seems that this Li Xiangyun is a water-based poplar woman, she came here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, it must be to hook up with men, I think we will ask the pilgrims here one by one." ”

Regarding Ouyang Xiu's method, although Hua Lang felt a little troublesome, but now in this case, there is only that.

Xiaomei is a relatively indifferent woman, after she comes in, if Hualang they don't ask, she will never speak, her answer is similar to Xiaofang's, it must be Li Xiangyun is very domineering, and her temper is very bad, if anyone upsets her, she will beat someone, but for Xiaofang said that stealing men, Xiaomei shook her head and said that she didn't know, last night she said that she went to bed very early, and she didn't see Mrs. out of the room.

But in addition to these, Xiaomei said something that no one else had said, that is, when Li Xiangyun took them to Jincian Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, one night, she saw Li Xiangyun and a monk had a close relationship, but she was very scared at that time, so she didn't look carefully, and she didn't see the monk's appearance clearly, only saw the bald head.

This news was very important to Ouyang Xiu and Hua Lang, because it allowed them to rule out suspicions about pilgrims, and the man who had an affair with Li Xiangyun was a monk in the Golden Cicada Temple.

Of course, the person who fornicated with Li Xiangyun is not necessarily the murderer, so among these pilgrims, it is very likely that one of them is the murderer who killed Li Xiangyun, but the most important thing for them to do now is to find the monk who had an affair with Li Xiangyun first, if they find the monk, maybe they can find the murderer by following this clue.

But Xiaomei didn't see the monk's face, which made Hualang and them a little embarrassed, and every monk was bald, and the man who had an affair with Li Xiangyun could not be found just by bald head.
