Chapter 1298: The Lin Clan's Reason

"What?"

Before Lu Baichuan could speak, the official next to him was shocked.

No, the people who came were all arrested, and no suspicious people were found to have entered anywhere else.

Could it be that Ouyang Hao really committed suicide in fear of sin?

No way!

How could such a cowardly and cowardly, greedy person who is afraid of life and fear of death do things that hurt himself?

Lu Baichuan also thought so, so he was ready to go over and see for himself.

Ouyang Hao was indeed dead, his eyes were wide, his lips were black, and blood was still flowing from the corners of his mouth.

It was poisoning, and judging by his wide eyes, it was impossible to commit suicide.

"What do you think?"

Master Pan is the prefect, and the prefect also rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and at the same time brought a servant.

"It is definitely not as simple as suicide with a bib, Xia Guan has dealt with Ouyang Hao before, he is timid by nature and will never commit suicide."

"There are too many doubts in this matter, and we still have to catch the people behind the scenes."

The prefect sighed, feeling that this day was really annoying, and the previous things had not been found out, so there was a new trouble.

Lu Baichuan nodded, the prefect's thoughts were the same as his own, so it would be easy to do.

He turned his head and glanced at the family members who were crying next to him, and didn't say anything, letting Ouyang Hao's body be carried away first.

The prefect followed him out, and when he reached a place where there was no one else, he asked, "Who does the general think this person did?" ā€

Lu Baichuan glanced at him and said calmly: "Master Pan already has a guess in his heart, so why do you want to ask me?" ā€

The prefect hurriedly shook his head: "It's a little conjecture, but I'm not sure who it is." ā€

He looked at Lu Baichuan and saw that Lu Baichuan didn't mean to speak, so he continued: "Xia Guan just thinks that this is not like what a professional killer would do, and he knows that he killed it at this glance, but he insisted that it was suicide in fear of sin, which is too far-fetched. ā€

"Xia Guan thinks that someone in the house may have done it, but as for who it is, I am not sure, so I can only check it slowly."

There are so many people in this house, and it will take some time to check them one by one.

At this time, someone came to report: "My lord, the third son of the Ouyang family is getting worse and is gone." ā€

Lu Baichuan grasped the key point: "When will it be?" ā€

"An hour ago."

Lu Baichuan had a score in his heart, and looked at the prefect, and the prefect immediately understood: "The lower official understands, let's go and investigate!" ā€

After saying that, he turned around and left with someone.

As a mother, the child disappeared an hour ago, she did not arrange the funeral, nor did she stay by the child's side, but found out that her husband committed suicide for fear of sin as soon as possible.

Yes, the news of Ouyang Hao's suicide was released by his wife Lin.

Just now, he was crying next to the corpse, but he didn't mention the death of his youngest son.

It's weird no matter how you look at it.

So, why did the Lin family kill Ouyang Hao, and she said that Ouyang Hao committed suicide in fear of crime, could it be that she is the one who has been cooperating with Xu Zhao?

The prefect took someone to interrogate the Lin family in person, and the Lin family was still stiff-mouthed at first, and insisted that Ouyang Hao committed suicide in fear of crime.

"What do you know about suicide in fear of sin?"

The prefect is not a fool either, and continued to ask following Lin's words.

In order to celebrate his suspicions, the Lin family naturally knew everything: "He has no ability, and he is worried that the old man will not give him the family property one day, this time someone wants to harm the old man and let the one outside take the blame, and promised him benefits, he hesitated for a moment and agreed." Although he didn't kill the old man, he was watching from a short distance, so he could find out that the old man was killed for the first time. ā€

"He originally thought that he could throw the matter on the one outside, who would have thought that that person was not easy to deal with, and he found the heads of the two brothers in one night, and he began to be anxious, thinking that instead of being convicted and beheaded, it was better to solve it himself, so he committed suicide in fear of sin."

The woman's words are reasonable, and no one can find fault with them.

But the more this happens, the more problematic it becomes.

The prefect asked several tricky questions, and Lin finally couldn't stand it anymore and cried: "That's all his business, how can I know as a woman?" ā€

"Now that he's dead, and the suspicion on the outside has been washed away, why do you have to embarrass me as an inner housewoman?"

She wiped her face, as if she had been greatly wronged.

The prefect saw that she was still stiff-mouthed, and immediately said, "Use the torture." ā€

Lin thought that he had said everything he knew, and it should be fine, but he didn't expect the prefect to torture him when he opened his mouth, and he was instantly startled.

Seeing those terrible torturers being carried up, Lin was a little frightened, and couldn't help but retreat, but was held on the ground and knelt on the ground by two 9 officials.

The prefect persuaded with kind words: "Mrs. Ouyang, if you don't tell the truth, these torture tools will really fall on you." ā€

"I—I'm telling the truth......"

Lin Shi was a little weak in an instant, and he didn't dare to look at the prefect's face.

The prefect continued: "If you tell the truth now, the official can still deal with it lightly, but if the official finds the evidence in a while, and you still have a hard mouth, then you will act according to the law." ā€

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that when you came over, the official had already sent someone to investigate the cause of Ouyang Hao's death, and by the way, interrogate the people around you, I believe that soon there will be people who can't stand telling the truth, and it will be useless for you to regret it when the time comes, madam."

Lin was frightened, she knew that her methods were not very clever, if she really let people say it for a while, then she would not have the treatment she has now.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, tears streaming down her eyes when she opened them.

"I did kill the person, but what I said before is true, the old man's death was caused by him."

The prefect looked at the person who was remembering the matter on the side, and when he saw him nodding, he asked, "Why did you kill your husband?" ā€

"Why? Naturally, because he hated him! My son is going to die, and he only cares about those family properties every day, and even wants to exchange my son's life for these things! As I said before, the female doctor would help my son treat his illness, and during this time, my son recovered very well and was able to walk on the ground, but he used the old man's death to harm the husband and wife, and buried his son alive! ā€

"As soon as the old man died, the family property came into his hands naturally, he didn't care about my son's life or death, and said that as long as he wanted, there would be many sons, this black-hearted slut, I killed him to eliminate harm for the people!"

When her son was ill, she went to Ouyang Hao to explain those misunderstandings clearly, and asked Jiang Jiuniang to see her son, but the man was hard-hearted, saying that her son should have died a long time ago, and he was guilty of living, and even asked her to find a random place to bury her son, anyway, it was a child, and he didn't need to go to the ancestral grave.

No mother could listen to such words, so she immediately went to find rat poison and put it in the tea, and watched Ouyang Hao drink it with her own eyes.
