Da Song Private Investigator

Now that Abbot Xuanming, Huiqing, and Huitong have no alibi, what Hwarang and the others have to do is to find out which of them is Li Xiangyun's friend.

If we analyze the identities of these people, Huiqing is the most suspicious. After all, he is not a monk of Jinchan Temple. After entering the Jinchan Temple, because of the many rules in the temple, it is naturally difficult for him to abide by the clear rules.

Of course, from the perspective of convenience, Abbot Xuanming is also very suspicious. He is the abbot, he has his own room and a separate courtyard, so it must be extremely convenient for Li Xiangyun to find him to have sex with.

Just considering these things alone, it is impossible to find out who is the one who has sex with Li Xiangyun.

After questioning Abbot Xuanming and the other three, Hwarang and the others had no clues, so they had to pin their hopes on the investigation of those yamen servants.

Waiting for the investigation results of the yamen servants is a very depressing thing, so after everyone sat down in the courtyard, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but talk about poetry, and when he talked about poetry, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce quickly agreed After all, in terms of poetry, the two of them are not as good as Ouyang Xiu. Now that Ouyang Xiu talks about poetry, they naturally have to follow suit.

Hwarang, on the other hand, is most afraid of discussing poetry with connoisseurs, so whenever Ouyang Xiu mentioned poetry, Hwarang pretended to think about the case. It's not good to let Hwarang participate in the discussion.

Seeing that Ouyang Xiu is so knowledgeable, Hwarang felt a lot relieved.

It’s just that when Hwarang pretended to think about the murder case, Hwarang could hear what Ouyang Xiu and Gongsun Ce were talking about. For example, after they talked, Gongsun Ce pointed the poem to a poem written by Ouyang Xiu. spring:

After the farewell, I don't know how far you are, how desolate and boring you are.As we drift farther and farther away, there are no more books. The water is wide and the fish sinks where to ask.

Late at night, the wind and bamboo knock on the autumn rhyme, and the sounds of thousands of leaves are all hatred.Therefore, if you look for it in a dream on a single pillow, the dream will not turn into a lamp and it will be embers.

"Growing farther and farther away, there is no book. This sentence is wonderful and natural, giving people an indescribable artistic conception. When I first read this poem by Mr. Ouyang, I liked this sentence very much." Gongsun Ce said. Although there is a sense of flattery, it is not very obvious. After all, anyone can like a good word, and if you like it and say it, how can it be regarded as flattery?

Regarding Gongsun Ce's flattering words, Ouyang Xiu smiled very modestly, and said: "The sentence of gradually drifting away and leaving no books is indeed very charming, but if I say it best expresses my state of mind when I wrote this poem Ci, I think it’s still late at night when wind and bamboo knock on autumn rhyme, and thousands of leaves and thousands of voices are all hatred. Therefore, I searched for it in a dream, but the dream did not turn into a lamp and embers. At that time, Fan Zhongyan criticized the current affairs and was demoted to Raozhou. I defended him, Being relegated to Yiling to be the county magistrate, thinking of what happened at that time, I really feel unspeakable hatred and homesickness!"

After Ouyang Xiu said this, Wen Meng was a little puzzled, and asked, "Master Ouyang hates defending Fan Zhongyan, does he regret it?"

After Wen Meng said this, she suddenly realized that she was a bit abrupt, but Ouyang Xiu only smiled slightly, and said, "How could I regret defending Fan Zhongyan? Ye, what I hated at the time was the current affairs, although the emperor was kind, but he lacked courage, so that he appointed many treacherous and villainous people, which caused the borders of our Great Song Dynasty to be uneasy again and again!"

Regarding what Ouyang Xiu said, Hwarang also understood that after Li Yuanhao, who supported Xixia, became emperor, the relationship between Song Dynasty and Xixia became worse and worse. Wars often broke out, and there were very few generals available in the court. , and advocated peace talks so much that the imperial court gave Xixia a lot of cattle, sheep, gold and silver every year, which is annoying to think about.

At this time, Ouyang Xiu continued: "Now the national treasury is empty, my Song Dynasty has a military system in Yongshen, and the battle with Xixia has more defeats than victories. , Military, etc., to carry out some innovations, strive to make our Great Song Dynasty rich and strong, and annex those tiny countries of Xixia in one fell swoop."

What Ouyang Xiu said was the Qingli New Deal. Hwarang listened to him, and he couldn't help admiring the patriotism of Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and others. Fan Zhongyan's sentence is to worry about the world's worries first, and to enjoy the world's joy later. Suddenly it came into Hwarang's mind, Hwarang was stimulated by Ouyang Xiu's words for a moment, and wanted to say some words of admiration, but at this moment, a person walked in suddenly, his face was hesitant and nervous Yes, after entering the courtyard, he seemed to regret it again, and turned around to leave.

But Hwarang and the others have already seen him, even if he turns around, he might not be able to leave.

At this time, Ouyang Xiu suddenly stopped him and said, "Jiang Xu, what do you want to tell us when you come here?"

Jiang Xu stopped, stayed for a while before turning around, nodded slightly and said, "I... I do have something to say, but... I'm just worried that if I say it, you will be suspicious."

Ouyang Xiu frowned slightly, and said: "Just say what you have, if you doubt or not, we will make a judgment. Besides, even if you don't say it now, we will also doubt you. If we find out something , your suspicion is even greater."

Ouyang Xiu said this very seriously, Jiang Xu was really a little scared after hearing it, and finally had to take a few steps forward, and said: "Actually... Actually, you asked me if I had any contact with Li Xiangyun before, I lied! "

Everyone heard Jiang Xu's words, although they were very surprised, they didn't say anything, just waiting for him to continue.

"Actually, Li Xiangyun and I used to be neighbors. She married into the Shen family, and we never saw each other again. Yesterday I came to Jinchan Temple to burn incense, and I saw her by chance. She is more charming than before, but I am still poor. , so I didn’t go up to talk to her, I was very surprised to hear that the deceased was her this morning.”

There seemed to be other meanings in Jiang Xu's words, Hwarang thought for a moment and asked, "You two had a good relationship before, didn't you?"

Hearing what Hwarang said, Jiang Xu couldn't help but widen his eyes, nodded after a long time, and said: "That's right, because we are neighbors in the neighborhood, Xiangyun is the most beautiful in our place, and I am a scholar, everyone She thought I had a bright future, so we were a well-recognized couple, but then I failed the exams several times in a row. Xiangyun saw that I had never been promising, so she married Shen Sanqian, a wealthy businessman in the capital, and became a married couple. Mrs. Rich."
