Red Dust Daqian

As a poetic immortal in Jiangxia Prefecture, Ouyang Changzong would not easily do anything to Zhou Sen when he entered the Changshi Mansion in broad daylight. After all, he still had to consider the impact on his career. Zhou Sen had already cleared his suspicion at the level of the court trial, and this time he went to Ouyang Changshi Mansion to help Ouyang Changzong catch the real murderer.

Zhou Sen, Li Ning'er and his party came to the Changshi Mansion, which was still guarded by the government officers and soldiers, and everyone entering and leaving had to be checked. From time to time, wailing sounds could be heard in the Changshi Mansion. It should be that Ouyang Changzong had not completely given up on tracking down the real culprit, but his behavior was not so intense.

Zhou Sen reported his purpose to the people in the Changshi Mansion, but Ouyang Changzong didn't want to see him at all and he couldn't even get through the door.

Ouyang Changzong was still in grief, and family disgrace should not be made public. At this time, Changshi Mansion was still in a mess. Even an ordinary outsider Ouyang Changzong did not want to visit him at this time, let alone someone like Zhou Sen who had a blood feud. Not being able to kill him directly that day was already a special favor from God. If you have the nerve to visit today, you can get out of here as far as you can.

As long as the prefectural government fails to solve the case, Zhou Sen will remain a suspect with insufficient evidence. Ouyang Changzong will place all his hatred on Zhou Sen. It is definitely impossible to rely on the prefectural government to solve the case. It seems that I still need to take action to solve the case and clear my name.

Zhou Sen originally wanted to borrow some manpower from Li Ning'er to arrest Ouyang Zongren directly, but Li Ning'er insisted that he was an idle person and how could he get the manpower, and refused to lend him any manpower.

Zhou Sen could only find Xiangcao again and borrow some loyal thugs from Qianmu Hall. When Shen Yueer heard that Zhou Sen was going to catch the murderer, she couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity and followed him on a whim. Unfortunately, Shen Qianrou was not so relaxed. After Zhou Sen issued a series of reform measures, the entire Xiangmu Society was busy in full swing. Shen Qianrou and Zhao Tiezhu were even more busy and overwhelmed.

Seeing that everyone went to catch the murderer, leaving her alone to guard Qianmutang, Shen Qianrou felt a little lonely. Zhou Sen tried to comfort her, but Shen Qianrou wanted compensation, and Zhou Sen was going to agree. When Shen Qianrou leaned close to Zhou Sen's ear and told him the compensation plan, Zhou Sen was happy and surprised but did not dare to agree, and fled in a hurry. Shen Qianrou actually wanted Zhou Sen, and Xiangcao was in front of her, so how could she dare to agree at this time.

Zhou Sen, Xiangcao and a group of people accompanied Li Ning'er, who claimed to be an idle person and had no clues about Ouyang Zongren, and strolled in the street together. They came to a brothel in a noisy manner.

Li Ninger rolled her eyes at Zhou Sen and said, "I heard that you men like this kind of place? Is it so fun here?" Vanilla and Shen Yueer also looked at Zhou Sen with contempt. Zhou Sen was frightened by the gazes of the crowd and swore that he had never been to this brothel, so he was lucky enough to be spared by the three men.

Li Ning'er said that she also wanted to go in and find out what attracted the men. Li Ning'er's hint was very obvious, Zhou Sen could not fail to understand, and directly instructed the people of Qianmu Hall to go into the building to find Ouyang Zongren. He tried his best to stop Li Ning'er, Xiangcao, and Shen Yue'er from entering. Let's not talk about Li Ning'er first. As Xiangcao was his first wife, she would never let those filthy things pollute her eyes; Shen Yue'er, Shen Qianrou's maidservant, was also not allowed to enter the brothel.

After a long while, the people from Qianmutang brought out the unconscious Ouyang Zongren, disguising him as drunk.

Since Ouyang Zongren had met Zhou Sen, it was not convenient to interrogate him personally. Li Ning'er and the guards of Qianmutang were arranged to interrogate Ouyang Zongren. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Zongren was very stubborn. No matter how much he threatened or bribed, he refused to admit the fact of killing Ouyang Zongxin. As for the scratches on his body, he claimed that he was scratched by a prostitute when he had sex with her. This reason was simply invincible, leaving Li Ning'er helpless.

Li Ning'er was helpless and angrily ordered the thugs to chop Ouyang Zongren, who was scared to death. The thugs of Qianmu Hall were also stunned. Did they really want them to chop Ouyang Zongren to death? Killing people was illegal, and they were not ready to kill people for Zhou Sen.

When hesitating, Zhou Sen asked Shen Yue'er to whisper a few words to the thugs, and the thugs readily agreed. They sharpened their knives in front of Ouyang Zongren, scaring him so much that he lost control of his bowels and urinated. This made everyone hate him. The thugs walked up to Ouyang Zongren, raised their butcher knives high and pretended to chop him down. Before the knife even landed on Ouyang Zongren's neck, Ouyang Zongren fainted from fear.

The dilapidated courtroom was filled with smoke and the lights were dim and sometimes on and sometimes off. Various shrill wails were heard. A judge dressed in black, with a bronze complexion and a golden crown on his head, had a ferocious expression and frowned, and his eyes were fixed coldly on Ouyang Zongren, who was kneeling in the center of the hall.

On both sides of the hall, the Black and White Impermanence held sharp blades and hacked at the evil spirits around them, limbs flying and blood splattering. The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons held spears and tridents, standing beside Ouyang Zongxin, staring at him fiercely.

Ouyang Zongxin, who had just woken up, fainted again when he saw this scene.

The judge, the Black and White Impermanence, the Ox-Headed Horse-Faced Demons, and the evil spirits all broke through their defenses. This grandson was too frightened. He had already fainted for a long time. Did he have to wait for another half a day? There was no time to waste.

The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Guards did not hesitate and kicked Ouyang Zongren a few times, waking him up directly.

Ouyang Zongren, who woke up again, was trembling and kowtowed frantically to the King of Hell and the ghosts and gods in the hall to admit his mistakes. His head was almost broken. The black-faced judge spoke in a high-pitched and resonant voice: "Ouyang Zongren, you are dead, and your soul has been taken to my Yama Hall. I am the Yama of the Ten Courts, responsible for judging your merits and demerits in your life. You must quickly confess all your mistakes in your life and not hide anything. After the trial, this hall will naturally send you to reincarnation. If you dare to hide anything, do you see these evil ghosts in front of you? You will bear 10 times the punishment they bear. Tongue pulling, iron tree, oil pot... the ten hells will judge you in reincarnation."

If he hadn't been dragged by the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon, Ouyang Zongren would have fainted from fear again. Ouyang Zongren didn't dare to hesitate, and tried to recall, then recounted his crimes in detail, such as peeping at his aunt bathing when he was a child, committing adultery with his aunt many times, and a bunch of messy and trivial things, all of which he confessed all at once.

But surprisingly, Ouyang Zongren never mentioned the murder of Ouyang Zongxin.
