Before Mrs. Hao could continue to deny it, Xiao Ju next to her suddenly said faintly: Forget it, don't deny it anymore, I killed the person!

Mrs. Hao looked at Xiao Ju deeply, tears glistening in her eyes. She suddenly screamed and said: No, Li County Order, Li County Venerable was not killed by Xiao Ju, it was really not killed by Xiao Ju, it was killed by me, it was killed by me!

Ouyang Shu didn't expect that Mrs. Hao, who was said by Chunfang to have hooked up with a lot of beauties, would be so affectionate, and she would not hesitate to admit to killing for her own Yiren.

Xiao Ju smiled sadly: Xiao Yun, don't say it again, who killed the person, Li Xianzun is already very clear, why are you bothering?

The tears in Mrs. Hao's eyes finally broke and flowed like a broken thread. She suddenly spread out weakly, leaning on top of her chair.

Ouyang Shu said to Xiao Ju: Mrs. Xiao Juru, please tell me about the process of killing Dong Xue and the reason!

Xiao Ju stood up, slowly helped Mrs. Hao up, and gently pushed and held it on her back.

The relationship between her and Mrs. Hao is actually largely due to the winter snow. Because when Xiaoju first entered the door, Dongxue lived next door to her, Dongxue was enthusiastic, cheerful, and very patient. Although Xiao Ju was very indifferent, she was still moved by her after all, and in the end, the two of them finally had the fake phoenix.

In fact, in the eunuch's home, it is very common for the fake phoenix between the concubines to grind the mirror and get along. Even if their husbands find out, because they can't satisfy them, most of them have to turn a blind eye and let them do whatever they want. In the same way, because of the connivance of their own officials, these concubines are not dedicated enough when they do fake phoenix things, and they often empathize with each other.

Xiao Ju soon tasted the pain of being abandoned, the reason why Dong Xue abandoned her was not any other woman in the family, in fact, in this family, whether it is appearance or temperament, Xiao Ju is undoubtedly the first, and it is impossible for Dong Xue to abandon her to meet other women. The object of her empathy is a man, Morneck. No matter how much fun the fake phoenix between women is, it is always not as good as the men. What's more, this Mo Er Xiang is elegant and outstanding.

At this moment, Xiaoju not only felt the pain of being abandoned, but also fell into another struggle. She was originally from an official family, and she paid the most attention to three obedience and four virtues, and she attached great importance to women. But Dongxue just fornicated with others! She has always felt that the kind of game that women play with each other is just to comfort each other, and it is a matter between their own sisters, so it is not cheating, but if she hooks up with a man, it is naturally cheating. She also once bitterly admonished Dongxue. But Dong Xue was originally from a Qinglou, and she didn't pay attention to things like fame, not only did she not listen to her admonitions, but she repeatedly ridiculed her.

Xiaoju is sad and sad again. And at this moment, Mrs. Hao Xiaoyun appeared. This Mrs. Hao can really be regarded as a veteran of the flowers in the Hao family, and several of the concubines of the Hao family have hooked up with her. Moreover, she has gradually lost interest in men over the years, and specializes in fishing and hunting women. A superb woman like Xiaoju is naturally her number one target for fishing and hunting. A few days ago, she sighed for the speed and accuracy of the winter snow, and now the beauty is haggard and haggard, isn't it a good opportunity for her to perform? She did not waste this opportunity, and spent a lot of effort to continue to be courteous and smiling, and finally won the heart of the beauty.

However, at this time, Xiaoju also fell into another layer of pain. Originally, a woman from a scholarly family like her categorically couldn't tolerate the appearance of men and women around her, but this woman was her former Yiren, and this man was still her nephew of the current Yiren. Between whether to poke them or not, Xiao Ju suffered for a long time. In the end, the persistence of Mingjiao and Gangchang in her heart still made her determined to find out the adulterer.

After Hao Sui went home, there were always a lot of people around him during the day, and Xiaoju couldn't find a chance to talk to him alone. Because Hao Sui has become less and less interested in Xiao Ju who is too cold and rigid recently, although he is a eunuch, there is no shortage of women around him, and he is not willing to spend too much time to please a woman. What's more, he spends most of the year in the palace, and he doesn't have much leisure himself.

Xiao Ju decided to go to Hao Sui at night, although he also had other people to sleep at night, but if he wanted to talk to him alone, it was only this time.

That night, she secretly came to the door of Hao Sui's room, and was surprised to see that the door was actually open, she did not hesitate, opened it and looked, the three souls and seven spirits almost shifted, it turned out that Hao Sui died on the bed, and a lot of blood flowed around. Xiao Ju's first reaction was to run out screaming, and her second reaction was to go to her wife and tell her about it.

When she ran quickly through the garden, she suddenly tripped over something under her feet and tripped over, Xiao Ju took a closer look, and there was actually a person lying on the ground. It was none other than Dongxue.

At this time, Dongxue had just experienced a violent storm, and she was very weak, lying in the grass and not getting up, still reminiscing about the wonderful taste of Fangcai, and seeing that it was Xiaoju who came over, she was in a good mood, and couldn't help but laugh a few words.

Xiao Ju just saw the corpse of her own official, and saw that Dong Xue was cheating again, and she was already very disdainful in her heart, and after being teased by her for a few words, the fear in her heart suddenly turned into fear. Without thinking about it, she lunged forward and grabbed Dongxue's neck.

Dongxue didn't know that Xiaoju was serious at first, and thought that she was still playing with herself as before, and she didn't care. By the time she reacted wrong, it was already a little late, and she really didn't have the strength at this time, although she struggled desperately and scratched Xiao Ju's right hand, she was still strangled to death by Xiao Ju.

Xiao Ju didn't actually have the intention of killing at first, but under the cowardice, she wanted to teach Dongxue a lesson, and when she suddenly stopped struggling and resisting, she was startled, and reached out to probe her snort, and she was even more shocked into a cold sweat. It was only at this time that she suddenly realized that she had committed the heinous crime of murder in a moment of anger.

After calming down carefully, she still decided to go to Mrs. Hao, everything that should have happened has already been born, and it is impossible to hide it, so she decided to say goodbye to Mrs. Hao. Maybe from tomorrow onwards, they won't have the chance to see each other again.

When Mrs. Hao heard Xiao Ju's words, she was naturally startled. She and Xiao Ju think completely differently, she wants to get Xiao Ju off the hook. So, she quickly came up with a cover-up and moved Dongxue's body to Hao Sui's side, and then stabbed her with a dagger a few times, making it appear that she and Hao Sui were killed together.

It should be said that in a short period of time, to think of such a good way to cover up the facts, Mrs. Hao is really a very wise and calm person. Just when the two of them were about to leave Hao Sui's room, they suddenly saw that Dongxue only had shoes on one foot, and the other shoe was missing!

Both of them were startled, and together they began to search the way they came. However, their mood was so nervous at this time, and the sky was very dark, and they did not dare to light a fire, and the shoe lay in the grass a few feet beyond their sight, but they could not find it anyway.

In the end, Mrs. Hao had to come up with a solution: take off Dongxue's other shoe and take it away, so that the people in the yamen would not notice this detail. After everything was arranged, the two made a confession again before they went back to their rooms to rest.

Although all these practices can be concealed from ordinary people, Mrs. Hao knows that this is absolutely impossible to hide from experienced people, so she prevents her from entering the door on the grounds that she believes in Buddhism and has filth on her body. When Ouyang Shu proposed that she should be a servant, Mrs. Hao thought about it for a while, and felt that Ouyang Shu, as a civil official from the scientific examination, would never experience such a thing as examining a corpse, let alone compare it with the real one. Faced with Ouyang Shu's pressure, she had no choice but to have Ouyang Shu act as a servant.

However, to her surprise, Ouyang Shu was certainly a very layman, but even a layman like him saw a lot of things. It is conceivable that if an experienced servant had come, I am afraid that this case would have ended on the spot yesterday.

After hearing the truth of this matter, everyone was silent for a while, and Ouyang Shu was also emotional. In fact, in the eyes of the people of this era, Xiaoju has not actually done anything wrong, she has been working hard to maintain the chastity of women in this era. Although she killed someone by mistake, what she killed was a cheating woman who was spurned by almost everyone in this era. Moreover, she didn't mean it, she was just hot-headed and shot too hard.

In every sense of the word, she was not guilty of death.

Ouyang Shu was indifferent for a long time, and said: Madame, since you have confessed all this, then go with us, you can rest assured, there will be a promotion in the yamen in the past two days, if you have anything to explain, think carefully in prison, and then say it after the promotion, if it is reasonable, we will also consider it as appropriate!

His words are actually quite obvious hints. In fact, this is also one of the characteristics of the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty, which is relatively relaxed. In many cases, the human factor will also be seriously considered when sentencing. There have been several typical murder cases such as avenging his father or killing bullies, and the murderers have been found not guilty. In Xiaoju's case, if she can find a good explanation, it is not impossible to get away with it. The only obstacle she has now is that Hao Sui's murderer has not been found, and she is not completely unsuspected.

Mrs. Hao's face showed a sudden look, and she suddenly said: County Zun, then a slave

Ouyang Shu said: You are suspected of harboring criminals, hiding the facts of the crime for the criminals, and also hindering the official from solving the case, so go with the official! You and Mrs. Xiao Juru will be locked up together! He thought in his heart: You are locked up together, and you can plan how to exonerate yourself under the court!

Because of Li Qingzhao's relationship, Ouyang Shu was always very cordial to the Yuanyou party members and their relatives, although his political views were different from theirs in his heart.
