When Xiaoju walked away, Ouyang Shu said to everyone again: Everyone, this case is of great concern to the emperor, and he ordered me to enter the palace early tomorrow morning to inform him of the specific situation. Although this is not the deadline he gave us to solve the case, it also shows his eagerness to solve the case. Everyone must be in good spirit, once this case is solved, the emperor will naturally not let everyone say goodbye to their hard work!

Everyone was in high spirits when they heard this, and they agreed with a bang.

Since the Hao family's family is still suspected of committing a crime, Ouyang Shu assigned two more people to keep vigil outside the courtyard where Hao Sui lived. This vigil naturally has another rich bounty, plus these two people are trying to catch fast, this is not the first time this kind of thing has been done, so the two of them are also very willing.

Ouyang Shu then led the rest of the people home.

When Ouyang Shu returned to the door, it was already early days. In some cities in later generations, when the nightlife has not yet begun, few people will sleep at this time. But in the Great Song Dynasty, at this time, it was a time when almost everyone in the whole country had already gone to sleep. Only the smiling places are still brightly lit.

Before Ouyang Shu approached the door, he saw two large fire cages hanging in front of his house. Several family members were standing at the door, waiting anxiously. Ouyang Shu recognized that these people were all guards of the Qianlong Pavilion, and it was Liu Cong.

When those people saw Ouyang Shu, their faces showed sincere joy. Ouyang Shu knew that they were very worried about their safety, but they were limited by their identities and didn't dare to show their martial arts too much, so they could only wait at this door, and he was a little sorry in his heart, smiled, and threw a comforting look at them. The faces of those people immediately showed joy.

Ouyang Shu finally felt his importance in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion for the first time. In the past, every time he thought of Xu Jiang, and remembered that the old man always had such and such secrets to hide and not tell himself, he would always think suspiciously in his heart: Am I still the pavilion master? Or am I just a puppet? However, at this moment, he finally understood that in fact, he was not so insignificant.

Walking into the door, Ouyang Shu saw that in the courtyard in front of the door, Fan Xiaolu was sitting on a chair, looking out anxiously, while Hu Qing'er was softly saying something on her lips, she should be comforting her. Xiao Yan and Xiao Mo, a pair of little girl sisters, were each holding a fan and gently fanning it next to her.

Seeing Ouyang Shu suddenly appear, everyone was stunned, and before they could react, Ouyang Shu had already rushed forward in an arrow step, came to Fan Xiaolu's chair, and gently kissed Fan Xiaolu's face.

This time, not only Xiaoyan and Xiaomo, the pair of little sisters, saw it, but also Liu Cong, who had just walked in the door, and a few of them also saw it, Fan Xiaolu was suddenly ashamed, and her head hung down to the ground.

Ouyang Shu did not shy away from picking up Fan Xiaolu by the waist, walked forward, and as he walked, he gently bit Fan Xiaolu's ear and said: Lady, who are you there tonight for your husband!

Fan Xiaolu shook her head hurriedly, and also put her mouth to Ouyang Shu's ear and said: No, there are still children in their stomachs!

Ouyang Shu smiled: What's not to do, sleeping together is not necessarily about doing that, when did my Xiaolu become so impure, my husband just wants to hold you and have a good dream, where do you want to go! Seeing Fan Xiaolu embarrassed, Ouyang Shu added: Besides, the joy of the boudoir, in fact, to have fun, there are still many ways, my husband has not had the opportunity to teach you before, so let's teach you well tonight!

Just as Xu Jiang lowered his head and groaned, as if he had been immersed in the memories of the past, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Xu Jiang immediately asked: Who?

I heard a female voice outside: "Master, Madame said that you have something to ask you to come over! Obey the meaning of the words, this should be the adoptive mother who serves Mrs. Xu."

Xu Jiang turned around and said to Ouyang Shu: Li Tanhua, please sit less, and the old man will come when he goes!

Ouyang Shu was helpless, although he was unwilling to wait, but since people really had something, they couldn't go too far. After all, you are someone's creditor, but you are not someone's enemy, as long as they are willing to pay back, there is still a little room for meeting in the future.

After General Xu left, Ouyang Shu began to get bored, and at the same time, he faintly felt a sense of deflatment.

Although it is natural to ask for money in debt, in the final analysis, the other party is an important minister of the court, and he is not at the same level as himself. It takes a little courage to collect debts from him. For this reason, Ouyang Shu kept cheering himself up along the way, and now he is already full of energy, but when he met, he came to such a show

It's like a samurai who thinks of all possible counter-attacks against the opponent before attacking them. He originally thought that this move was absolutely foolproof, and the other party had no room for counterattack at all. But the other party suddenly said: Let's fight again later, I am in a hurry! What kind of mood would this samurai be in at this time?

Time passed minute by minute, and the sky gradually darkened, but Xu Jiang never returned.

Ouyang Shu's patience began to become less and less, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Did that guy forget me?

As soon as this ** head was born, Ouyang Shu's heart was like a cat's claw, and the more uncomfortable it became. In fact, he has never been such a calm person, but the more he thinks about it at this time, the more he feels that this ** head is very right. So he began to get up and paced back and forth in the room. Many people choose to pace when they want to relieve their boredom, but in fact, this trick is not very convenient, Ouyang Shu is that the more he paces, the more bored he becomes.

Suddenly, he heard the conversation between two young women outside.

One said: Eh, I heard that recently our master is planning to buy a courtyard, I don't know where to buy it?

The other said: Do you still need to ask? Just by virtue of our master's identity, how can we buy it in the area of the Great Xiangguo Temple! That is the center of our Tokyo city, and the lively place is not comparable to other places!

I don't think so, since it's a separate courtyard, most of it will be in a secluded place. In my opinion, maybe it will be the area of Xishuimen, where there are mountains and rivers, warm in summer and cool in winter, and it is a suitable place for the other courtyard! I heard that many ministers' courtyards are located there!

Well, however, I think what you said makes sense, I heard that this time it will only take out a total of three thousand taels of silver, if it is in the area of Daxiangguo Temple, don't go to the other courtyard, I'm afraid that even if you buy a store, you won't be able to buy a big one.

Three thousand taels of silver? Our lord is rich, and there are so many fields in his hometown, so he won't be so short of money, why only take out so much?

You don't know this, our lord is so old, how many years can he live in this Bianjing City? In what year did he have extra money and things that he didn't send to his hometown? This Bianjing can spend less silver and spend less silver, this is also normal!

Well!

Hearing this, these two voices have faded away. However, Ouyang Shu felt that he had heard enough information: first, Xu Jiang was very rich, at least three thousand taels of silver was not a very large amount for him, and second, he had been transferring property to his family in the past few years. This is guessed from a better point, he is preparing for his own Zhishi, and from a bad point to guess, you can also say that he is an official and is not very honest.

Of course, what is General Xu's official character, Ouyang Shu doesn't want to care, and he can't care about it, in this era, Ouyang Shu has long since changed his original angry temper. However, from this analysis alone, he knew that his three thousand taels of silver, or the dignity of three thousand taels, Xu Jiang could afford it. This strengthened his determination to get the money back.

After waiting for a while, Xu Jiang still didn't appear.

I don't know if it was because Xu Jiang's eyesight was not good, or if it was intentional at all, the oil lamp in front of him was always burning Ouyang Shu burned it as soon as he came in, although it was not so dark at that time.

At this time, only this lamp was still smiling at Ouyang Shu, but I didn't know if this smile was a kind laugh or a sarcastic laugh. Ouyang Shu also stared at the lamp and smiled at it, but he was really smiling bitterly, because at this time, if he didn't know that Xu Jiang was deliberately hanging himself, then he would be a fool. The facts are obvious, if Xu Jiang really has something to deal with for so long, he can completely let people say that Ouyang Shu will come back another day.
