When Ouyang Shu left the palace, it was already early. Originally, if there was nothing important, he could go home directly. Because now everyone in the yamen knows that he has to go into the palace every afternoon to investigate Zhao Xu's condition recently. Therefore, he started playing missing every day at noon, and no one dared to question it.

However, today, Ouyang Shu had to give up the tempting idea of going home and returned to Yamen instead. Although Hao Sui was a eunuch, he was a very favored figure of Emperor Zhao Xu. Therefore, regarding his death, no matter what, it is necessary to find out.

At this time, Fan Zhengping was discussing with a few officials and the head catcher. As the deputy positions of the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant still have some division of labor in terms of duties. The county magistrate is mainly in charge of documents, household registration, warehouses, and taxes, and is the clerk in the county, while the county lieutenant is in charge of public security, post stations and other matters. There is a homicide case, which is naturally under the control of Fan Zhengping.

Ouyang Shu walked in, and saw that everyone was solemn, but no one noticed that he entered the door, so he coughed and said, "What's the matter?"

The head catcher in this county is called Gu Mo, he is a very discerning person, knowing that Fan Zhengping and Ouyang Shu are speechless, so he said: Yutang Zun, after his subordinates received the report, they personally went to Hao's mansion to check, and Hao Sui and one of his concubines died in bed. However, it was really difficult for us to see what was wrong from the scene, so we asked the people of Hao's house to search everywhere to see if we could find any evidence, but Mrs. Hao refused. When our servant arrived, Mrs. Hao also did not want to let him in, saying that this forensic doctor was an ominous person, and that these women in her family were all worshipping Buddhas, and they could not see such a person with filthy spirit. And the courtyard of her Hao Mansion can't allow such a person with filth on his body to defile him, he knows that since Ouyang Shu is here, he must have already known about this case, otherwise he would have gone home early. So, he doesn't talk nonsense either, but gets straight to the point.

As he spoke, he glanced at Ouyang Shu again and again.

Ouyang Shu frowned and said, "Do you mean that Mrs. Hao is suspected of committing a crime?"

Gu Mo nodded, and said in a low voice: "Tang Zun, there is a sentence that my subordinates said, you still have Fan County Lieutenant, you two don't spread it."

Ouyang Shu said impatiently: You guy, if you have something to say, why bother to spit out, do you look at this county like the kind of person with many mouths and tongues?

Gu Mo smiled flatteringly: Naturally, his subordinates don't think so, otherwise his subordinates wouldn't dare to say this. Cousin, please think about it, what Mrs. Hao said is so strange, is it true that a person who worships the Buddha will not tolerate filth in the house of the Buddha? No matter how heavy the filth on her body is, can she compare to the person next to her own pillow? How can she have so much talk even though she herself is still a mid-ranking official? Isn't this very suspicious?

Ouyang Shu nodded. But the eunuchs, because after cutting off that thing, can't hold back their own urine. At any time, as soon as the urge to urinate comes up, it will come out. In addition, when eunuchs pee, most of them have to use pipes, and even if they are sharp, it is inevitable that some will leak into their pants. Moreover, eunuchs generally have little freedom, and when they are on duty during the day, they must stand up, and they must not get out to pee for no reason. Therefore, many eunuchs pee their pants directly. The eunuch is better, and he goes to the toilet more often, but the smell of shame on his body is difficult to get rid of no matter what. Therefore, Gu Mo said that Hao Sui was a Zhongguan.

Whether in substance or in people's psychology, although there is filth on the body, it is difficult to compare with eunuchs. Since Mrs. Hao herself is married to a eunuch, can she still have filth on others first?

Fan Zhengping, who had been silent on the side, also suddenly interjected at this time: I think Gu Mo has a point!

Ouyang Shu asked again: Then how was this matter resolved?

Gu Mo said: Tang Zun, there is a small head catcher, and the official is lowly, it is really difficult to argue with Mrs. Hao! Therefore, the subordinates ordered a few brothers to protect the scene there, and at the same time watched the people of the Hao family, preventing them from entering and leaving easily. The subordinates themselves came back to discuss with you.

Ouyang Shu knew what Gu Mo meant, he couldn't afford to offend Mrs. Hao, and wanted to come forward himself. Ouyang Shu originally planned to go back early to have dinner with his family. Since Fan Xiaolu became pregnant, he has been trying to find ways to stay outside less and have more time to go home to spend with his two beloved wives. One is to keep Fan Xiaolu's mood comfortable, which is beneficial to both mother and child, and the other is Anhu Qing'er's heart, letting her know that even if she is not pregnant, she will not fall out of favor because of this.

However, in today's matter, Ouyang Shu can't come forward. It can't be solved quickly, Fan Zhengping goes, and the effect will not be much better. Although Fan Zhengping has always been known for his strengths, his weakness is also obvious, that is, when facing a woman who can cry and make trouble, he has too few means. Moreover, Zhao Xu already knew about this case, and he also personally told Ouyang Shu to solve the case well, and Ouyang Shu couldn't ignore it.

At that moment, Ouyang Shu said happily: Since this is the case, this county will personally go with you! As soon as he stood up, Fan Zhengping also stood up and said softly: I'll go and see it too! The tone didn't look like he was talking to Ouyang Shu, but Ouyang Shu knew that he was actually talking to himself.

Ouyang Shu had just walked out of the room, but he saw Qin Mu waving at him in front of him. Ouyang Shu walked up quickly and said, "Bai Shui, why haven't you gone home yet, are you so busy with official business today?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "The proprietor, you are still in the yamen, how can I leave first?" I'm waiting here, just to ask, does the proprietor still need my help?

Ouyang Shu knew that Qin Mu had always been in charge of documents, and he could be regarded as a literati, and he had no experience in solving such a thing, so he hurriedly smiled and said: Brother Baishui Gao Yi, it is really admirable. I think you also know about today's case, you don't need your help, you can go back first!

Qin Mu said: In this way, I will retire first! Turning around and about to leave, he suddenly heard Ouyang Shu say again: Wait!

He hurriedly turned around, but heard Ouyang Shu say: There is another private matter, if Bai Shui can help, thank you very much!

Qin Mu smiled and said: The proprietor, please command!

Ouyang Shu said abruptly: You have to pass by my house on the way home, please go in and talk to my housekeeper, just say that I will go back later today, let my wife eat early, don't wait for me!

Qin Mu smiled and said: The proprietor's pity for Mrs. Zun is really touching!

Ouyang Shu hurriedly said: Thank you!

At this time, Fan Zhengping had already come behind Ouyang Shu, and every word of Ouyang Shu's last few words came into his ears. Although his face had not changed in the slightest, his eyes had softened a lot.

The man in black sighed, with an inexplicable smile in his eyes: As far as I know, it's the first time you've met him, why are you so close to him?

Zhao Jing said: He saved my life, I naturally can't let you do anything to him.

When Ouyang Shu and the guards heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly. After all, Zhao Jing is young and knowledgeable, and she was born in the deep palace, so she has no adaptability. What she said made it clear that she meant to save Ouyang Shu's life at all costs, and the man in black was not a claw, how could he not take the opportunity to raise the price on the spot and extort a lot?

Just listen to Zhao Jing and continued: Say, what do you want, gold and silver treasures or something else? You also saved my life today, as long as you let him go, you will still be my life-saving benefactor. I have always been the most important person to distinguish grievances and grievances, and I will never treat my life-saving benefactor badly!

The man in black snorted coldly: Your Zhao family's royal family is rich all over the world, of course you don't care about a little money. However, although I am not rich, I am not a lover of money. Moreover, there are some things that money cannot buy. For example, human life!

As he spoke, he raised his snow-white palm and was about to slash at Ouyang Shu's head.

At this time, Ouyang Shu was stunned by the four words of the Zhao family's royal family in black, but he forgot to be afraid, and just stood there quietly, motionless.
