Chapter 37: The Oath

Ouyang Shu saw everyone's faces in his eyes, but continued quietly: Do you think that this official is saying that Mo Erxiang killed the two Hao family? Although the murder weapon was found in Mo Erxiang's house, there is no evidence that Mo Erxiang killed someone, and the official does not even have evidence that Mo Erxiang used this sword. It's a pity that Morxiang himself is dead now, and it is naturally impossible for this official to find him to confront him. Therefore, the person who killed Hao Gechang, the official is still unable to make an absolutely definite judgment, and can only say that it may be Mo Erxiang's doing.

However, no matter who killed Hao Gechang, Dongxue was not killed by Morxiang. Because, the murderer of Dongxue is among everyone!

There was a lot of chatter in the crowd, and everyone exchanged heads and ears as they looked at each other with suspicion. In fact, they originally thought that since these two people died together, of course they were done by one person, but when they heard Ouyang Shu say it so firmly, they couldn't help but doubt it in their hearts.

Mrs. Hao sneered: Li Xianzun, you are a parent, and you have to be responsible when you speak. The slave family is a little curious, this Dongxue died in bed with my official, why do you want to say that my master was killed by Morxiang, and Dongxue's death, but the murderer is someone else?

Although the tone of this statement was relatively blunt, it just said the doubts in everyone's minds, and everyone turned their eyes to Ouyang Shu, waiting for him to give an answer.

Ouyang Shu also sneered unceremoniously and said, "Madame, doesn't you know who the murderer is?"

An imperceptible look of panic flashed in Mrs. Hao's eyes, and then she turned calm again. She was a little annoyed and said angrily: What does the county zun mean by this? Do you think that the slave family is the real murderer of Dongxue?

Ouyang Shu smiled noncommittally and said, "This official didn't speak like this, it's just that since yesterday, some of Madame's actions really make people have to be suspicious. Mrs. and Mrs. are all in the boudoir, and it is difficult to go out twice a year. The official of my yamen is guarding outside the door, why does my wife insist on going out?

In addition, they are upright and indispensable in my yamen, they are not afraid of dirty, tired, incomprehensible or even cold eyes of the world in order to solve cases, and they are not afraid of everything. The official didn't know what was lowly about the servant, and what had polluted the lady's mind, and the lady insisted on not letting the lady enter the door.

Madame, don't give me anything foul. Buddhism purifies all sentient beings, and what is emphasized is equality. Moreover, according to the investigation of this official, Madame does not actually believe in Buddhism, and there is a statue of Lao Jun on the table in your room, and what Madame believes in Taoism is! Isn't it suspicious that since you believe in Buddhism, you keep saying that you speak in Buddhism?

Also, when the official asked his wife for advice, he didn't tell the truth. You said that your sisters are like mothers, and you said that Lord Hao Ge treats them equally. However, this is not the case, and it can even be said that it is not true. I don't know for what purpose Madame wants to hide so many questions. What can you say about family ugliness that can't be publicized, but no matter how important the family ugliness is, can it be more important than two lives?

When everyone heard Ouyang Shu say this, they all turned their suspicious eyes to Mrs. Hao.

Mrs. Hao just chuckled, and when Ouyang Shu finally finished speaking, she said lightly: If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse! No matter how fanciful you say about the county honor, if you can't come up with definite evidence, the slave family will not admit to killing no matter what. The implication is that he does not deny that he has killed, but just wants to deny it.

Ouyang Shu shook his head and said, "No, I have no evidence to prove that Madame is the murderer, because Madame is not the murderer in the first place. However, Madame has repeatedly drawn the attention of the official to you, but it has given the official inspiration. This murderer should have a different relationship with his wife, so that his wife can endure the pain of losing her husband, and even use herself as bait to constantly cover up for the murderer. Yes and no?

Mrs. Hao just sneered, but did not answer.

Ouyang Shu didn't care either, and said calmly: This official doesn't like to use torture, and he won't use torture today, and this official will use real evidence to let his wife understand what is called Skynet's restoration, negligence but not leakage. Target!

He slowly paced in front of everyone, and after a while he came to Xiao Zhu, he lowered his head slightly, and said, "Didn't Mrs. Xiao Zhuru say that when she came out of Hao Gechang's room last night, she saw a figure passing by?"

Xiaozhu nodded and said: The slave family is sure that there is indeed such a person.

Ouyang Shu smiled and said, "Do you want to know who it is?"

Xiaozhu was surprised and said: The meaning of the county honor, isn't it winter snow?

Ouyang Shu smiled mysteriously: Naturally, it's not winter snow, what do you say? Mrs. Xiaomeiru!

Xiaozhu thought about it, and suddenly sighed, and said: Being reminded by the county honor, the slave family remembered, and the voice was indeed very similar to Xiaomei's. That's right, it's Xiaomei's!

Ouyang Shu nodded, and said: Naturally, it is Xiaomei's, if you didn't suddenly appear, which made Mrs. Xiaomeiru panic and run away, how could she break her foot? As he spoke, as if playing a trick, he suddenly took out a bag of herbs from his arms and handed it to Xiaomei.

Xiaomei's face was red and white for a while, and she silently took the package of herbs.

Ouyang Shu said softly again: Mrs. Xiaomeiru, this official wants to ask, what were you doing hiding behind the rockery that night? Now that the weather is a little hot, it is understandable for you to take advantage of the cool plain in the middle of the night. However, you see how big this yard is, and there are swings over there, isn't it just right to enjoy the coolness, why do you want to hide behind the rockery?

Xiaomei lowered her head and said nothing. The suspicious eyes of everyone were cast on her again.

Ouyang Shu shook his head and said: Since Mrs. Ru doesn't want to say it, then the official will take you to talk about it, if it is not right, please ask Mrs. Ru not to be stingy to correct it! You were sitting behind the rockery crying, yes or no?

Xiaomei showed a look of shock on her face, and her eyes stared directly at Ouyang Shu, as if there was something wrong with this person. Seeing her look like this, everyone knew that what Ouyang Shu said was correct again, and they all looked at Ouyang Shu with admiration.

Ouyang Shu smiled and said: "I guessed by luck! Don't think that this official is joking, this official really guessed, seeing Mrs. Ru's expression, knowing that it was still a fluke, this official was really relieved! This official asked Mrs. Ru what she was doing at that time last night, and Mrs. Ru replied that she was sleeping. If there is any secret in Madame's heart that she doesn't want to tell? This question can be asked in another way: Why did Madame Ru hide behind the rockery and cry last night? I think the answer should be the same. If Mrs. is willing to answer on your behalf?

Xiaomei lowered her head, still not speaking.

Ouyang Shu lowered his head a little embarrassed, and said with a self-deprecating smile: If Madame doesn't want to answer, forget it, let's continue to let the official answer for you! He stood up and paced vigorously for several steps, as if he had something to say in his heart but it was not easy to speak, and only after a while did he say categorically: Because, you just saw two people in the field in the lawn in front of you! And the man among them is the one who swore to you not long ago, swearing that you are the only one in his heart, and he will not be able to die to you! It's a pity that this person is dead, but he didn't do it after all!
