Da Song Private Investigator

Not long after, the yamen guard brought Abbot Xuanming here.

At this time, Abbot Xuanming's complexion was very bad, and he lowered his head, without the slightest feeling of a Buddhist master.

A yamen servant rolled up Abbot Xuanming's sleeves and said to Ouyang Xiu: "My lord, please take a look!"

Everyone looked at Abbot Xuanming's arm, and saw that there were indeed a few scratches on Abbot Xuanming's arm, and blood was still oozing faintly from the scratches. After Ouyang Xiu looked at it, he looked at Abbot Xuanming and said, "You How to explain?"

Abbot Xuanming's eyes fluttered, and he said, "I accidentally scratched this myself, it wasn't caught by the dead."

Ouyang Xiu snorted coldly, and said: "Nonsense, looking at the scratches, it was clearly scratched by a woman's fingernails. How could it be you, a monk, who accidentally slipped? I advise you to be honest. If not, don't blame me." My lord is ruthless."

Abbot Xuanming had a bitter look on his face, and said: "I... I really didn't kill anyone, my lord is clearly aware!"

Seeing that Abbot Xuanming was so stubborn, Ouyang Xiu said to the two yamen servants one after another: "Use torture, let's see if this old bald donkey will say anything!"

After the yamen servant received the order, he immediately tortured Abbot Xuanming. At this time, Hualang found a yamen servant and whispered something in his ear. After the yamen servant understood, he hurried out.

Abbot Xuanming screamed from the beating, but he just didn't admit that he killed someone, even if his ass was beaten to pieces, he didn't admit it.

But when Abbot Xuanming was in agony, a yamen servant hurried over and said to Ouyang Xiu: "My lord, my subordinates searched Abbot Xuanming's room according to the order of Mr. Hua, and found a woman's bellyband. "

Ouyang Xiu turned his head and took a look, the apron was pink, it was so eye-catching among the group of men, and after seeing the apron, the almost dead Abbot Xuanming, who was beaten on the ground, finally couldn't hide the truth anymore, I had to shout again and again that I was willing to admit the crime.

After the yamen servants were removed, Abbot Xuanming said: "I... I do have an affair with Li Xiangyun. She left this apron in my room. Last night, Li Xiangyun's maid, Xiaofang, sneaked into my room and threatened me that I had an affair with Li Xiangyun. She already knows about Li Xiangyun, if she doesn't want her to tell the story, it's better for me to give her some money. Seeing that Xiaofang found out about this, I was very scared, so I lied to her and told her to go back first, and wait for me to raise money When I got the money, I sent it to her. She was not in a hurry, and believed my words. After she went back, I quietly followed her and killed her, but I didn't expect that she struggled before she died, and ended up scratching my arm. arm."

Now, Ouyang Xiu and the others know a lot of things. The one who had an affair with Li Xiangyun was Abbot Xuanming, and the one who killed Xiaofang was also Abbot Xuanming. So what about the one who killed Li Xiangyun?

"You killed Li Xiangyun?" Ouyang Xiu asked sharply.

Abbot Xuanming shook his head again and again, and said: "Master Mingjian, I only killed Xiaofang, not Li Xiangyun. I have a secret relationship with Li Xiangyun. Whether I can enjoy the sex in bed depends entirely on Li Xiangyun. How could I? kill her!"

"Maybe she thought you were old and couldn't satisfy her anymore, so she wanted to draw a line with you, and you were angry, so you killed Li Xiangyun?" Ouyang Xiu retorted sharply.

Although Abbot Xuanming was in pain, he still did not give up explaining, and said: "My lord, it's not that the poor monk is boasting, but he is very strong in getting out of bed. Every time I serve Li Xiangyun very comfortably, if I hadn't If you are strong in that aspect, how can you hook up with a lady like Li Xiangyun?"

The words that Abbot Xuanming said were somewhat obscene, but at this time, in order to defend himself, he didn't realize it at all.

After Ouyang Xiu heard what he said, he was very angry, but just when he was about to say something more, Hua Lang suddenly interrupted: "Master Ouyang, I think he must not have killed Li Xiangyun. Now that he admits that he killed Xiaofang, it's already done." It's a capital crime, and there's really no need for him to hide the matter of killing Li Xiangyun."

Ouyang Xiu felt that Hua Lang's words made sense, and after slightly nodding his head, he said, "If the person who killed Li Xiangyun wasn't Monk Xuanming, who would the murderer be?"

Hwarang shrugged, he also didn't know who the murderer was.

After detaining Abbot Xuanming, everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do.

After breakfast, everyone was a little sleepy, so they went back to the house to rest for a while. At about the same time, the yamen servant sent out to inquire about the news rushed back, but Hualang and the others already knew the news he had inquired, because the yamen servant said The most important thing is the news that Jiang Xu and Li Xiangyun are childhood sweethearts.

But even though they already knew the news, the yamen servants also inquired about something that Jiang Xu didn't tell Hwarang and them, that is, after Li Xiangyun married Shen Sanqian, Jiang Xu felt very ashamed. He was far away from his hometown. I heard that no one had seen him for many years. Now he suddenly appeared in Jinchan Temple and Li Xiangyun was killed. Is there such a coincidence in the world?

After the yamen servant finished speaking, Bao Zheng said with a dark face: "So, this Jiang Xu didn't tell us everything. He suddenly appeared here. Did he find out about Li Xiangyun's trace early in the morning? Now Li Xiangyun's husband Once Shen Sanqian died, Jiang Xu just took this opportunity to request to be with Li Xiangyun again, but Li Xiangyun disagreed, which aroused Jiang Xu's anger, so he killed Li Xiangyun cruelly!"

After Bao Zheng finished his analysis, Gongsun Ce raised an objection, saying: "Looking at Jiang Xu's appearance, he should also be a scholar. Scholars have always known etiquette, righteousness and shame. How could he ask Li Xiangyun to be together? What's more At this time, Li Xiangyun is in control of all the property of the Shen family, if Jiang Xuruo proposed to be with Li Xiangyun, wouldn't he be suspected of coveting the wealth of the Shen family, how could a scholar do such a thing!"

After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he shook his head again and again, as if to him, scholars should be upright people with one heart and one heart, and the matter of chicken and dog robbery will never be involved with them.

But as soon as Gongsun Ce finished speaking, Wen Meng quickly retorted: "Mr. Gongsun's words are different. We have encountered many murders of scholars in Duanzhou City. People's hearts are unpredictable and human nature is complicated. How can we judge by identity?" Is a man a murderer?"

"This..." Wen Meng's words made Gongsun Ce speechless, and finally had to remain silent.

After listening to these discussions, Ouyang Xiu seemed to think of something, and said, "I want to know if Jiang Xu might covet the property of the Shen family. It's very simple. We just need to send someone to investigate what Jiang Xu has been doing there these years. That's it!"
