Leave Guyue Sword Shop.
Ouyang Rong and his party returned to Luming Street in a mighty manner.
Maybe he was in a good mood today, or it could be to relieve the embarrassment of ignoring Shen Xisheng when he bought cakes for his senior brother not long ago, or it could be to help his senior brother with his welfare.
Xie Lingjiang paid for everyone's breakfast.
For this early morning raid on Guyue Sword Shop, everyone gathered under the leadership of Ouyang Rong before dawn, and almost all of them came hungry.
In the Zhou Dynasty, except for wealthy families, most people only ate two meals a day, and breakfast was particularly important.
Ouyang Rong had just eaten a bowl of scallion noodle soup with an old craftsman at the morning market at the sword shop, but he wasn't hungry.
But when he heard the younger junior sister mention it, he looked at Yan Liulang and others, his face suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
So after hearing the younger sister's suggestion, everyone's motorcade stopped in front of a good morning shop in the bustling East Market not far from Luming Street.
However, Shen Xisheng seemed to have something to worry about, so he smiled and declined the "nice niece"'s invitation and returned to Luming Street first.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tease: "Uncle Shen seems to have been lucky enough to eat my niece's sugar pancakes."
Xie Lingjiang's face turned slightly red.
On the other hand, Yan Liulang and others were not polite to Xie Lingjiang's generous donation.
Anyway, everyone in the county government knows that for Mr. Xie, who is disguised as a man in front of him, these are just small amounts of money. Can he still make Mr. Xie of Chen County poor?
So Yan Liulang and others winked at Ouyang Rong openly and secretly, then turned around and started eating.
Only Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang were left alone.
Ouyang Rong couldn't help but look at the junior sister more. He always felt that since the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the junior sister seemed to have changed a little. For example... she was more careful and sensible, and she was more capable.
I began to check and fill in the gaps for him, the senior brother.
"Little junior sister, don't you want to eat some?"
Xie Lingjiang shook his head.
Ouyang Rong stood beside the car, turned around and explained:
"For some reason, Mr. Shen has skipped his schedule these days and stopped in Dragon City, so I invited him to come with me this morning."
Xie Lingjiang nodded and glanced at his senior brother.
The latter also looked at her and asked curiously:
"Last time I went back to Meiluyuan, I saw Lord Shen's people entering and exiting the Su Mansion. Lord Shen, like the teacher, is an old friend of the Su family. Did they study together in Chang'an?"
After a pause, he laughed:
"Uncle Su must be some retired scholar, but I am ignorant."
Xie Lingjiang looked at his senior brother's expression and said calmly:
"Senior brother, why don't you go and ask Uncle Shen directly, or just ask Uncle Su directly."
Ouyang Rong smiled and did not continue.
Xie Lingjiang bit her lip and asked:
"This raid has been unsuccessful. Senior brother, aren't you a little disappointed?"
"I have been mentally prepared for a long time. But things in this world are unpredictable. Who can say that I will have all the plans."
Ouyang Rong shook his head slightly, his face as usual, as if he was stating an ordinary thing:
"Besides, the Liu family has been emasculated and cannot cause too much trouble. I have already taken the lead in demonstrating that the people and gentry of Longcheng County will never let the Liu family come back to dominate them again.
"Unless it's foreign aid sent from heaven, but that's outside the scope of regular discussions."
Xie Ling Jiang asked: "Castration?"
Ouyang Rong nodded:
"Liu Ziwen The remaining power that the Liu family has accumulated in Longcheng County for more than ten years has been completely destroyed by the county public trial. The people of the whole county have seen that the so-called Liu family and Mr. Liu are not omnipotent and invincible myths.
"Liu Ziwen is also a mortal. He will also be tried by the county government and stabbed to death by other mortals. All the things he did before were just high walls made of fear. They will fall down as soon as they are pushed.
"I have taught everyone the methods of struggle step by step."
Speaking of this, Ouyang Rong sighed, turned his head and said seriously:
"Little Junior Sister, the Liu family you have seen in the past two days being shouted at and beaten by everyone, and the situation of dividing the family and the land, is just the result of castration. The people in the county no longer fear the Liu family. This is the reason why the Liu family fell. .”
Xie Lingjiang stared into his eyes and continued: "This is also the result that senior brother wants."
Ouyang Rong smiled.
"However, we still need to do our best to eliminate evil. The case of the Jade Fairy must be investigated, and the Liu family, who is likely to be the mastermind behind it, cannot be allowed to go unpunished."
Ouyang Rong nodded, "Of course." He added: "But right now, Longcheng County Government and I have to focus on water control."
Xie Lingjiang pursed his lips, reflecting the gaze of the man opposite him:
"It turns out that senior brother has always known what he was doing."
Immediately, she spoke firmly: "I'll take care of the small finishing touches."
Ouyang Rong seemed to have remembered something and said in a daze: "By the way, follow me back to Meiluyuan. I've handed you a piece of evidence."
"Evidence of crime?" Xie Lingjiang was stunned.
After saying hello to Yan Liulang and others, Ouyang Rong returned to Meiluyuan with Xie Lingjiang in a short while. In the study room of Meilin Courtyard, he took out something and handed it to Xie Lingjiang.
Xie Lingjiang lowered his head and looked at the small blue cloth porcelain bottle in his hand. It was somewhat similar to the "incense bottle" found on Liu Ziwen during the public trial.
I can't help but ask: "Is this..."
Ouyang Rong thought for a while and carefully recounted what happened at the ribbon-cutting ceremony that day.
"This thing should be some kind of poison, and it can be regarded as evidence of a crime. I will take it and study it to see if I can find any evidence that will help solve the case."
Xie Lingjiang looked thoughtful, nodded, turned over his hands and put away the porcelain bottle.
The two chatted for a while, and then Xie Lingjiang took the Meilin path and returned to Yilanxuan first.
Ouyang Rong watched her leave, turned around and closed the door.
Come to the desk.
He took several things from his waist and arms, one after another.
A few moments.
Lying quietly on the table was a white sandalwood target knife.
A moonlight sword that exploded after Liu Ziwen's death.
A round bead that looks like stone but not stone, and looks like jade but not jade.
Ouyang Rong turned his head and looked in the direction of Longcheng County Government Office. There was still an official seal lying quietly in the lobby of the County Government Office.
These should be all the important things about him in this world.
Ouyang Rong stared for a while.
Reach out.
Then a rather strange scene happened in front of the desk.
He moved the white sandalwood target knife into his arms for a while, moved the moonlight sword aside for a while, and pushed the Night Pearl diagonally forward...
Ouyang Rong looked thoughtful.
It seems that they are considering some distribution and belonging of them...
For a long time, he raised his head and looked around at the empty study room and the empty Meilu Garden.
Ouyang Rong was stunned.
There was a murmuring voice wandering around the table:
“It’s finally almost over since we’ve been down the mountain... Once we get through the last surge of water in the rainy season, we can prepare to go home...”
The man at the table didn't know whether he was happy or worried for a moment.
More like a look of sadness.
Not long after, Ouyang Rong closed his eyes and went straight into the Tower of Merit, which he had not visited for a long time.
The simple little pagoda stands in the clouds of the sea of heart, and the top of the pagoda shines brightly under the brilliant light.
Ouyang Rong walked into the tower.
He glanced at the one bell and one wooden fish that had been silent for a long time.
Immediately turn your eyes to a place you care about most.
[Merits: Fourteen thousand two hundred and eighty-eight]
Ouyang Rong remembered that the original merit value was "twelve thousand and eighty-one."
This wave of county-wide public trials, the dismemberment of the Liu family, assisting in Liu Ziwen's death, and other operations have increased his merit points by nearly 2,200 points.
From this point of view, it is relatively difficult to increase the merit value. After all, if you occasionally encounter an unknown blessing, you will have to waste thousands of dollars...
It seems that the Liu family can't be considered a villain, not enough for him... Ouyang Rong laughed.
However, the Degong Gate has just been completed, and the Broken Wing Canal has not yet been fully put into operation. Therefore, the things he has been busy with these days have not yet been fully realized as merit points, and he still needs to wait for a while to ferment.
Ouyang Rong withdrew his gaze.
Didn't pay much attention.
In fact, since the merit value exceeds 10,000, the merit value is like a series of numbers to him.
He is just a little curious at the moment, whether he can break through 20,000 merit points and make up a whole before going back...
Ouyang Rong laughed at himself.
Turn around and leave the Merit Tower.
Open your eyes, study.
Ouyang Rong, who was about to get up and go out, covered his mouth and yawned.
For some reason, his sleep has been a bit heavy these past few nights...
(PS: The next chapter will be at twelve o’clock in the evening, I’m sure! Write something that brothers may want to read!)
By the way, while I'm at it, I recommend a book called "White Snake Immortal in the World" written by my good brother. The author is handsome and the book is good. The most important thing is that he keeps updating every day. He is a player who drinks water every day. Damn it, little one. Rong was jealous to the point of separation!
