The sunset is beautiful, and it is even more beautiful when it shines in the quaint Golden Cicada Temple.

When the two officials escorted Roland over, Roland symbolically struggled and said a few wrongful words, but she didn't sprinkle like a shrew, after all, she was indeed a beautiful woman, and a beautiful woman would not do such a thing.

Ouyang Xiu looked at Roland and asked, "Did you know Li Xiangyun before?" ”

Luo Lanmei glared at Ouyang Xiu and said, "My lord, didn't the little girl already say it before, I don't know anything about Li Xiangyun." ”

Ouyang Xiu snorted coldly and said, "But as far as we know from our investigation, you had a lot to do with Shen Sanqian before, this Li Xiangyun used to make trouble with you, and now you still say that you don't know Li Xiangyun?" ”

When Ouyang Xiu said this, Luo Lan suddenly quieted down a lot, and Ouyang Xiu saw that she was silent, and asked in an accentuated tone: "Say, is there such a thing?" ”

Roland was frightened and suddenly knelt down, and said: "My lord spares his life, there is indeed such a thing, but the little woman is afraid of being suspected by you, so she doesn't dare to tell this ordinary past, after all, it was a few years ago, and I have nothing to do with Shen Sanqian for a long time, my lord Mingjian!" ”

Now that it has been determined that Roland lied, Ouyang Xiu is very angry, but he knows very well that it is useless to be angry now, it is important to ask about things related to the case first.

After thinking for a while, Ouyang Xiu asked, "Since you know Li Xiangyun and live in the same courtyard as her, it must be very easy to kill her, what do you have to justify?" ”

Roland thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I have something to say, I didn't kill anyone, because...... Because I was with a man that night and didn't have time to kill. ”

After hearing Roland say this, Hua Lang couldn't help but think of that Tao Olive, and at this time, Ouyang Xiu had already asked, "Who are you with?" ”

Roland looked a little embarrassed and said, "It's the pottery from the same courtyard as me, the two of us...... The two of us hooked up with each other, but he was a man with a wife, so it was inconvenient to be together, so he thought about spending the night in the Golden Cicada Temple, and when it was night, we visited each other in order to have fun! ”

Roland didn't feel awkward at all when he said this, as if it was normal for him to say these words of love between men and women.

Ouyang Xiu gave a look to a servant, and after the servant understood, he immediately brought the pottery.

At this time, Tao Olive was not a little afraid, and after kneeling down for Ouyang Xiu, he told him how to hook up with Roland that night and how to be happy in the room, these words were a little very provocative, Ouyang Xiu was very angry after hearing it, and felt that this was simply immoral, but the laws of the Great Song Dynasty did not say that men were not allowed to find women to take concubines outside, so Ouyang Xiu couldn't bear him.

If Roland and Tao Olive were telling the truth, then both of them had an alibi, but since they had an alibi, why didn't they say it at the time, and waited until Ouyang Xiu and they found evidence that Roland was lying?

When Ouyang Xiu asked this question, Roland suddenly looked aggrieved, and said: "The little woman is also a woman, so naturally she wants to save face, how can she tell the story of cheating, I originally thought that after you adults find the murderer, we will leave, as long as our affairs are not public, but now that you have found out that I have had contact with Li Xiangyun, where do I dare to hide it!" ”

Listening to Roland's words, Hua Lang couldn't help but mock in his heart, a woman said that she wanted to save face, but she was doing shameless things behind her back, isn't it very contradictory?

There has always been a contradiction between what he said and what he actually did, Hanaro thought.

After letting Roland leave, Ouyang Xiu looked at Hua Lang and asked, "Does the dude think what these two people said is true?" ”

Hua Lang was silent for a moment, and said: "Half of it, if these two people have really hooked up together, then the murderer cannot be the two of them, but there is also this possibility, the two of them saw that we have not let them leave, so they colluded with each other, saying that the two of them were together that night, so that they would not have time to kill, and they ruled out suspicion. ”

After listening to Hua Lang's words, everyone nodded in agreement, and what they need to figure out now is whether Roland and Tao Olive hooked up before, or whether the two of them hooked up together after they were trapped here, and if they want to know this, just send someone to investigate Tao Live.

So, Ouyang Xiu sent another official to investigate Tao Olive.

When the officials were sent out, the sky had already darkened, and the wind in the twilight of spring was blowing again, and it was warm.

There are no stars and no moon tonight, and suddenly black clouds overwhelm the city, after dinner, everyone went back to the house to rest, but the periphery of the Golden Cicada Temple, and outside the room of the murderer Xuanming Abbot, there are guards guarded.

In the middle of the night, a thunderclap sounded, and the rain began to fall, but at this time, everyone slept sweetly in the house.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden shouting sound in the Golden Cicada Temple, Ouyang Xiu woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and then carefully identified what the sound was outside, only to hear the sound of the Xuanming monk running away The sound of the Xuanming monk running away came and went.

Ouyang Xiu heard that Monk Xuanming had escaped, and hurriedly jumped off the bed, when he pushed the door open, the rain outside was still falling, but the entire Golden Cicada Temple seemed to be in chaos.

At this time, Hua Lang and Wen Meng also rushed out of the room, Hua Lang looked at the drizzle in the courtyard, and shouted to the officials outside: "Guard the outside of the Golden Cicada Temple, as long as you can guard the Golden Cicada Temple, he won't be able to escape." ”

In the night rain, although Hua Lang's voice is very loud, but the penetration is not very strong, after the officials understood Hua Lang's words, they immediately guarded the various exits of the Golden Cicada Temple, when the officials guarded the exit, Ouyang Xiu led people to search the whole temple, but the Golden Cicada Temple was searched, and they did not find any trace of the abbot of Xuanming.

In other words, he took advantage of this rainy night to escape, but how did he escape, but there were two officials guarding his door?

The rain still didn't stop, Hua Lang swept around the people present, and found that Shen Hongxing was not here, he frowned slightly, thinking to himself, after everyone came out just now, because he thought that everyone had just come out of the house, he thought that it was impossible for Abbot Xuanming to hide in these few people's rooms, so he did not search the rooms of Shen Hongxing and others.

Now that Shen Hongxing hasn't come out, isn't it too suspicious?
