Ouyang Rong felt that some people were very face-giving, but they were also very face-less.

It seems that in the eyes of some people in Longcheng, the Qipin county orders of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all here to kneel and ask for food.

In the hall of Yuanming Building, the newspaper singer on the fundraising stage announced crisply:

"This fundraiser, a total of thirteen, a total of 780 yuan raised! Among them, Longcheng Water Conservancy raised a total of 130 yuan, and the county order paper and pen fee raised a total of 650 yuan. ”

Under the attention of everyone in the audience, Ouyang Rong, who was sitting in the first row, suddenly turned his head.

Not to look at the squires in the hall, but to look at Xie Lingjiang.

And it just happened to hit her worried eyes.

"Little junior sister, it seems that the reward given to you is still light, you are not only the first donation, but also the richest woman on the list, but the most valuable thing on the senior brother is the bead, I will make up for you next time."

Seeing the sincere smile of the senior brother, Xie Lingjiang opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say it, and finally just shook his head:

"I'm fine. Brother, you're fine. ”

"What can I do?" He wondered.

Under the gaze of everyone with different minds in the hall, Ouyang Rong rubbed his face and got up, grabbed the hem of his official uniform to prevent him from dragging the ground, and slowly walked onto the stage; Xie Ling Jiang didn't squint and silently followed.

"The girl has worked hard."

The young county magistrate sang a serious thank you, and the little girl of cardamom age blushed slightly under his gaze, and stepped off the stage happily, so the young county magistrate was left to stand calmly in front of the two fundraising red plates, facing all the eyes of the audience.

The young county magistrate lowered his head and looked at it, stretched out his hand, first picked up the water conservancy fundraising plate on the left and weighed it, and then picked up the private paper and pencil fundraising plate on the right and weighed it.

The left side is the weight of one hundred and thirty pounds, and the right side is five times the weight of the left, which is heavy.

He was not angry at all, and calmly raised his head as if asking himself:

"It turns out that everyone thinks so highly of this official, and the water conservancy affairs of the court and the county government are only one-fifth of the important gifts given to the official."

The squires and wealthy merchants in the audience were all silent, and some silently avoided his gaze.

And Liu Ziwen clipped his hands, sat in the back row of the stage, and stared intently at the young county magistrate with a calm face.

The young head of the Liu family had a harmless and sincere look on his face, and his eyes were mixed with a little ...... Because of the limited ability to satisfy the parents, the worry is not satisfied.

That's right, sometimes people's eyes can convey such rich emotions, you can see it at a glance, just like the tacit understanding of knowing how to change positions when you pat your buttocks.

But what Liu Ziwen didn't know was that Ouyang Rong, like him, was also a person who "treats people with sincerity".

So the young county magistrate stretched out a finger and shook it at the audience:

"But among you, there may be a fool who pretends to be clever and made a mistake."

Pause:

"This official is not here to ask for food, it is you who are here to ask for food."

As soon as these words came out, everything was silent.

The squires and wealthy businessmen in the audience looked at each other.

"Squeak", it was the young county commander who walked calmly, dragged a Taishi chair over, sat down on the stage, looked down at the audience, and was silent.

After this rather frightening behavior, there was no other movement on the stage for a long time, and slowly, many squires and wealthy businessmen looked at the stage with mocking eyes, and even began to whisper.

"Ahem." Liu Ziwen coughed at the right time to stop the noise on the field.

Liu Ziwen glanced at the scholar on the stage, sighed softly, stood up, and said helplessly:

"Returning to the county commander, fundraising is within the scope of your ability, but this year's flood is sudden, everyone is not happy, and they have done their best. However, it is the unshirkable responsibility of the people to share the worries of the court and the adults, and we still have some surplus food in the Liu family, and we will cooperate with the adults to build some porridge sheds in the city to give porridge. ”

Ouyang Rong turned a deaf ear, the little junior sister was carrying a long-spouted teapot and pouring tea for the teacup on the table in front of him, her hand was extremely steady, Ouyang Rong looked at the thin waterline in the air, quite interested.

was ignored in public, and Liu Ziwen, who has always been gentle in nature, couldn't help frowning secretly, don't hurry down the steps to reward you, could it be really an elm head?

"Lord Prefectural?"

"Shh

Ouyang Rong suddenly stretched out a finger and put it in front of his mouth, signaling quiet.

His eyes were fixed on the teacup on the table, as if he were paying attention to the dark green tea leaves swirling in the boiling water.

Not only did Liu Ziwen and others in the audience feel that they were pretending to be ghosts, but even Xie Lingjiang was confused, and he was curious, and looked sideways to see what the water in the senior brother's teacup was magical.

The result, of course, was unremarkable.

Looking at the motionless young county magistrate on the stage, Liu Ziwen suddenly smiled, shook his head to himself, and turned his head to signal that the other squire colleagues could leave.

At the same time, the young head of the Liu family stood up, casually went to get the herbal tea on the table, and prepared to take a final sip.

But his fingers suddenly stopped in the air, and his eyes were "nailed" to the water in the cup, and there were several other young and keen-sharper squires and wealthy businessmen similar to Liu Ziwen.

They all stared at the ripples on the water surface in the cup, and the ripples seemed to be regular.

This is...... Is there a dragon turning over in the distance? No! It's a horseshoe!

Liu Ziwen suddenly looked up at Ouyang Rong who was sitting leisurely on the stage.

The latter had already grown up at this moment, picked up the teacup, drank it all, he stepped off the stage, and warmly pushed open the window on the second floor of Yuanming Building for everyone:

The streets have been artificially dispersed.

At the end of the empty long street, there were three hundred iron horsemen, and even the hoof waves that were deliberately lightened were roaring like a mountain and a sea in the field of vision of the squires on the second floor.

But such a rushing iron horseman, under the abrupt gesture of the captain of the first horse, suddenly stopped in front of Yuanming Tower, and they all dismounted, and their movements were uniform.

It's the elite! How could he have the right to transfer troops, is this to rebel? Liu Ziwen and the others narrowed their pupils.

Immediately, Yan Liulang, who had disappeared for a long time since the fundraising, took a heroic captain and went upstairs to the young county commander by the window.

The captain's face was cold, and he clenched his fists and said loudly:

"Ouyang County Order, the last general Qin Heng, Jiangzhou Zhichong Mansion Guoyi Du Lieutenant, led three hundred horsemen to come on order to assist in handling the case."

Ouyang Rong seemed to have a draft, pointed directly to the direction of the county ya, and said loudly: "General Qin, immediately go and block the east treasury of the Longcheng county ya, without the warrant of the official, not a fly is allowed to fly in." ”

"The last will obey!" Qin Heng went downstairs without any delay, without squinting the whole time, and didn't look at the frightened and trembling lambs in the hall.

There were a few trembling old squires in the hall who couldn't help but flatter: "Lord County Commander, you ...... Are you ...... Is there a misunderstanding haha......"

Ouyang Rong waved his hand and said with kindness and relief, "It's a trivial matter, it's to check the accounts, the old man relaxes, don't think nonsense, and go back to rest later." ”

He smiled at Liu Ziwen, who had an ugly face, and the frightened squires and wealthy businessmen, turned around and went downstairs with the little junior sister, and before leaving the gate, the young county magistrate seemed to think of something, or reminded him kindly:

"By the way, if there is a little irregularity or tax evasion in the rent adjustment account and agricultural and commercial taxes, I will copy your whole family."

The audience was silent.
