As the saying goes, if you open your mouth at the top, your legs will be broken if you run away.
After the morning meeting, the entire Longcheng County government office became lively and busy again because of the young county magistrate's words.
After Diao Xiancheng returned to the Xitang Office, he summoned the officials in charge of the six caos in the government office to announce a new plan and assign new tasks.
Well, he only needs to be responsible and open his mouth. Anyway, if the sky falls, the tall young county magistrate will hold it up, and the officials will do the following things.
Prime Minister Diao County, who was about to speak a few words for the meeting, strolled into the meeting hall, holding hands behind his back. He suddenly turned around at the door and saw a tall, thin man with a dull expression following behind him.
Good guy, why does this guy make no sound when he walks? Is she the same as the yellow-faced woman who caught adulterers in my family?
However, complaints were complaints, and he was an acquaintance of the young county magistrate, so Diao Xiancheng naturally knew him.
I guessed that someone was sent to check the situation.
Without much surprise, Diao County Prime Minister nodded to Liu Ashan, turned around and entered the meeting hall.
Not long after, in the hall, the six county officials and more than ten officials from each department arrived.
Diao Xian Cheng put down his tea cup and announced the new plan with a serious look on his face, and everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.
However, not many people objected. Anyway, when it comes to water control, these county government officials are all laymen, and the main source of oil and water is not above.
Some people may have had the idea of quietly grabbing a handful on the Broken Wing Canal, but when they think of the heroic deeds of the newly arrived county magistrate and the lesson of being cut off and hanging on the city wall after the Ridong Treasury Rebellion... I also put aside most of my thoughts for the time being, no one wanted to be the first to do it.
After the hall meeting adjourned, each department and department went out one after another and returned to the official's room for deployment.
At the very back of the crowd, there was a chubby official who responded to his colleagues' words. When the crowd dispersed, he walked to a corridor and there was no one around.
The fat clerk looked back, silently turned around and walked toward the west gate, seemingly to use the toilet...
Shao Qing, in the long corridor not far from the west gate of the county government office, a fat clerk walked out of a hut and returned to the official office with a nonchalant expression, as if he was passing by.
After a while, another horse-faced cook walked out of the quiet thatched house. He first went to the stable to feed the horses of the county officials.
As if he was about to go out to buy feed, the horse-faced cook said hello to his colleagues, drove an empty truck, and drove out of the west gate in a bit of a hurry.
After these two people left one after another.
Behind the screen wall not far from the latrine, a tall, thin man with a dull face walked out.
He turned his head and silently looked at the direction in which the fat clerk was leaving.
Three strokes up on the day and the morning is almost over.
The young county magistrate who was writing at the desk in the back hall of the county government office quietly listened to the report of the tall and thin man in front of him.
It was quiet for a while.
The young magistrate put down his pen, rubbed his wrist, raised his head and chuckled:
"Are you in such a hurry? It seems that the Dragon King Liu family is not as calm and unconcerned as we thought. It's not in vain. Isn't this going to expose the flaw?"
Liu Ashan asked dully: "Do you want to inform Brother Yan and take care of it..."
Ouyang Rong shook his head:
"There is leakage in such a large county government office, and it can't be stopped or caught. Last time, we took all precautions, but the account was still burned down.
"Ah Shan, the key to dealing with people like Liu Ziwen is eight words: guard against dirty hands and seek out evil schemes. Use the general trend to suppress him and make him unable to do anything."
He paused, thought for a moment, stood up, straightened his sleeves, and lowered his eyes:
"Let's keep them for now. We managed to catch a few mice. We might be able to use them another day... Let's go back and have lunch. The little junior sister is still crying for food. By the way, this injury hasn't healed yet. Did I hit you so hard that day? ?”
Ouyang Rong asked Liu Ashan curiously.
The latter shook his head and said nothing.
…
The back house of Su Mansion.
A courtyard that recently had a plaque named Yilanxuan.
Someone came on time to deliver lunch again, and was welcomed in with a smile by the maid.
Before Ouyang Rong entered the door, he looked at the blooming orchids in the courtyard and said casually: "You have done a good job raising orchids."
The maid who led the way turned her head and said with a smile: "Thank you, little lady, for cultivating me..."
Ouyang Rong interrupted curiously: "She still has time to water water and grow orchids? Isn't it inconvenient to walk?"
The maid who led the way had a serious look on her face: "No, I want to say thank you to the little lady for nurturing us and teaching us how to raise us."
"oh."
The maid who led the way secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Miss Xie often goes out these days, either visiting Miss Su's yard next door, cultivating orchids in the yard, or shooting arrows with a target. However, as soon as noon comes, the originally lively Miss Xie will immediately calm down and become very quiet. Go back home and change clothes on time...
It was the original boudoir again, with the windows open again and the sunlight falling on the table.
"Yeah."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Ouyang Rong handed out a bowl of hot white rice to the haggard and pale lady opposite.
Xie Lingjiang silently took a look at the handsome man in front of him today's attire. He was not surprised when he saw him twisting up the single-grain rice that fell on the table and stuffing it into his mouth without being too dirty. He seemed to be used to it these days.
She hid the slightly curved corners of her mouth and asked curiously:
"How's the matter with Zheyiqu?"
"The progress is okay..."
Ouyang Rong paused, put down the bowl, and explained the situation of Zhiyi Canal, including today's new plan.
But of course not much was said about the source of inspiration for this new scheme.
You can't teach your junior sister bad things.
Xie Lingjiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the progress was going smoothly and that there wasn't much need for her help.
Also, if the senior brother is as busy as when he was building the disaster relief camp, he probably won't have time to deliver meals every day, although there may be reasons why Aunt Zhen is suppressing him.
The girl kept her words to herself, nodded and said:
"Senior brother, pay more attention to rest. I see that you have some deep bags under your eyes today. Get a good night's sleep and put aside the water control work. Don't work day and night. It's harder to bear the pain than hard work. Besides, senior brother, you still have to work hard and work hard..."
"Okay, okay, okay..."
I don’t know if the junior sister learned from her aunt and started nagging. Ouyang Rong nodded in agreement with a guilty conscience.
After the meal, after packing the food box, Ouyang Rong did not leave immediately.
He washed two more pears and threw one to his junior sister. He took a bite of the pear and took out a small bamboo slip from Yunshui Pavilion from his sleeve and handed it to his junior sister.
The latter took it tacitly, opened it with his fingers, glanced down at it, and read it quickly.
Recently, some girls who cannot read books, start flipping through books randomly, and faintly touch the threshold of the seventh grade, slightly raise and then relax their eyebrows.
Then, she raised her head lightly, gazed at the blooming orchids outside the window with her clear eyes under her curved eyebrows, and let out a long breath.
Ouyang Rong bit the fruit pulp, a little confused: "What's the matter?"
"It's a bit unexpected, but it makes sense."
Xie Lingjiang thought for a moment and explained:
"The two female monarchs from the Yunmeng Jianze Female Monarch Hall have won the world's top titles in swordsmanship and kendo. It's not surprising."
Ouyang Rong was curious: "What is the difference between swordsmanship and kendo?"
"The former is a technique, and the latter is a Tao. Senior brother can roughly understand that the former's competition involves the cultivation of closed spiritual energy, while the latter's competition involves giving full play to one's abilities, regardless of life or death."
"I understand, it's interesting." Ouyang Rong nodded and said with interest:
"Then who won the first prize? Is it Zhao Qingxiu who made Junior Sister unconvinced?"
Xie Lingjiang glared at the senior brother who was teasing her, and continued in a tone of indifference:
"Hmph, this swordsmanship competition was held in a peach forest. The most talented swordsmen in the world all went into the forest to break peach branches into swords. After three sticks of incense, only one person came out of the peach forest alone. It's the Yue virgin who says nothing and is extremely cold."
“Kendo questions are more interesting and attract more attention.
"A Yunmeng female queen named Xue Zhongzhu defended Yunmeng Jianze. The last swordsman leader was this woman, but she won a little..."
"Somewhat? Reluctantly?"
"No, it's a little too overwhelming."
Ouyang Rong was curious: "Could she be standing there alone and want to beat ten of them?"
"Not that outrageous, but almost." Xie Lingjiang shook his head and sighed:
"However, it is understandable. This female monarch seems to be the acting leader of the Yunmeng Jianze Female Lord Palace, as well as several other Yunmeng female monarchs in the palace, including the Yue Virgin Zhao Qingxiu, the senior female monarch. At the moment The Yunmeng Jianze was hosted by her.
"It's just that there have always been doubts in the Jianghu in the past. Some martial arts practitioners said that this generation of Yunmeng Jianze is not worthy of being the leader of the Tiannan Jianghu, because there are almost no Yue women in the previous generation. Yunmeng Jianze's female The Imperial Palace is not fully occupied, and there are not even top-grade Qi practitioners.
"Several young ladies have only climbed to the sixth level of Zhu Qi. It is better to give up the top spot in the world to Shangqingge Zaoshan of the Sanqing Taoist sect, or Taiqing Longhu who is also reclusive but more low-key. Mountain……"
She smiled: "But this time after Peach Valley Wenjian, these doubters should all shut up.
"Xue Zhongzhu's method this time was quite violent. Those who originally dared to go to the meeting with a single sword and come up to the stage to question swordsmen were all the top middle-grade qi practitioners in the world, either sixth or seventh grade, because ten ways in the world can use orthodox methods. In sword qi cultivation, there are very few qi practitioners who have entered the high-grade purple qi. In the past, most of them were from the female monarch palace in Yunmeng Jianze. However, the current senior sister of the female monarch palace, Xue Zhongzhu, has a spiritual energy cultivation level. It’s only the sixth grade...
"This time, the first three people to take the stage are all sixth-grade Qi practitioners: an unknown swordsman, a Chang'an swordsman, and a Shangqing Taoist priest.
"Xue Zhongzhu, on the other hand, is extremely stingy. She only uses three swords at most for every opponent.
"Three people, one died, one was injured, and the other rolled off the stage in a panic.
"For a while, no one dared to go up to the stage to question the domineering Lady Yunmeng. Once they lost, they had to take the sword and get off the stage.
"But it didn't stop here. Seeing that no one was on the stage, Xue Zhongzhu turned his attention to the only fifth-grade sword cultivator who was present to observe. She entered the fifth-grade purple Qi on the spot with a sharp frost-white sword energy. , was also promoted to a rare high-grade sword cultivator, and asked the old master for swordsmanship. In the last hundred breaths, he was overwhelming and better than a single move... shocking the whole audience."
Xie Lingjiang shook his head and sighed: "I don't know what the fifth rank of the Yue Nu Dao Meridian is called, but I read in the tabloids that when the candle in the snow reaches the upper rank, strange phenomena occur in the peach valley. Not only do all the peach blossoms fall for ten miles, but there are also peach blossoms in the valley. The white ape carrying a sword causes the sky to roar...
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she was deliberately suppressing the reputation before, just to establish her power in Peach Valley. Such a sharp-edged Wu Yue female cultivator has not appeared in Yunmeng Jianze for a long time, and her momentum even surpassed this Each generation becomes more virginal.”
Ouyang Rong became more and more happy as he listened. Quan Dang listened to the digestion story and gnawed the pears quickly until Xie Ling Jiang, who had stopped to stop, turned around and said:
"By the way, there is one more thing that may have something to do with our Dragon City flood victims."
Hearing the sensitive word, a certain musician suddenly became alert: "What's going on?"
"Before Taogu asked the sword, some people in the Tiannan Jianghu suspected that the recent floods in Yunmengze, which have caused hardship to the people of several states in Jiangnan Province, were related to a certain tripod that Yunmengjianze kept. They said that Yunmengjianze was in Secretly controlling floods and doing shady things.
"After Taogu Wenjian won this time, Xuezhongzhu denied this statement in public, but refused to allow any senior outsiders to view the tripod, which caused heated discussions in the Tiannan Jianghu."
"tripod?"
Damn it, all the brothers who gave rewards and voted after reading the previous chapter will be handcuffed and Bang Bang will give you two punches! I didn’t vote before, right? Damn it, I’m a serious author. I subconsciously write in more detail for the sake of realism and immersion. I don’t want to omit the plot at will. It’s not intentional. Don’t misunderstand me! (serious face)
