XXXVII. Scholars also kill people (ask for follow-up and ask for votes)

Ouyang Rong closed his eyes in the dark, but he couldn't sleep.

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

Why did you suddenly increase your merit in the middle of the night? He didn't do anything just now, just casually ordered a few words.

Could it be that he let Ban Xi go back and rejected her hint that she wanted to rub the bed, did he save her, or did he ...... Sending pastries to the old Cui first-class scribes and giving them a rest saved them?

Doesn't that mean that there is a change in the East Treasury?

Ouyang Rong immediately turned over and got off the table and rushed out of the door.

When he ran to the vicinity of the East Warehouse, he caught a black shadow flashing on the roof of the East Warehouse from a distance, and immediately saw the door below, the little junior sister Qianying rushed out, jumped on the roof quickly, bent the bow and shot arrows under the moon, and then chased after him, and the door of the East Treasury below fell into some chaos.

Ouyang Rong hung a short sword borrowed from his junior sister on his waist, held the hilt of the sword on his side, and immediately stepped forward, learning the specific situation from the soldiers and scribes he met, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard that Lao Cui Tou was still working in the east warehouse, and was a little worried, he didn't say hello to Qin Heng outside the door, and went straight to the door......

So Ouyang Rong saw a scene that made him silent.

"What are you doing?"

The old gentleman, who had been operating quietly since just now, shook his body.

Ouyang Rong didn't look back, and stretched out his hand to stop Qin Heng and the other soldiers who wanted to rush in the rear.

He said earnestly: "Put down the lamp." ”

Old Cui nodded silently, let go, and the lamp fell, falling on the pile of ledgers poured with strange liquid.

In an instant, a volcano rose from the table.

Even spread along the edge of the table to the old man in front of the table, this strange liquid seemed to be more flammable than oil, and the fire was extremely fast, if it wasn't for Ouyang Rong's swift pounce and push away the old Cui's head for the first time, the old man would be engulfed by the flame tongue of flames in the next second.

"Ouyang County Order, account book!"

Qin Heng grabbed a bucket of well water and was about to rush to the table, but he was snatched away by Ouyang Rong's split, the first bucket of well water was poured on Lao Cuitou's head, and the second bucket was also, fortunately, there was not much strange liquid on his body, and the fire started and extinguished quickly.

However, even so, Lao Cui's head was severely burned, and most of his hair, beard, and eyebrows were burnt, like a carrot that had just been pulled out of the soil and had been muddy.

The fire in the pile of ledgers on the table was not extinguished until the seventh bucket of water, leaving only ashes.

Qin Heng will stop talking again.

"All out."

Ouyang Rong didn't look at them and the embers on the table, walked alone and dragged a chair, threw his tired body on the back of the chair, stared at the old man curled into shrimp on the floor in front of him, and clenched the hilt of the sword with his five fingers.

There were only two people left in the house.

"Why?"

The young prefectural order asked.

"Right...... I'm sorry. ”

"No, no, no, it's not me you're sorry for." He shook his head, lowered his eyes and spit out word by word: "You say, why." ”

"Old man...... I thought about refusing. ”

"But you didn't refuse."

"I escaped from the disaster that year, and this life was saved by the Liu family's porridge shed."

"Can their broken porridge shed still save people?" Ouyang Rong smiled.

"This is now. When Old Man Liu was still alive, it wasn't like this, and the three brothers were not allowed to do it now...... At that time, the Liu family's porridge shed did not cut off floating wealth, and it did save some people. ”

"I thought you were an idle chess piece specially inserted by the Liu family, and I expected that someone would lead troops to check the accounts."

"I'm not a dead soldier, the county government's work is also found by myself, after the death of Old Man Liu, I haven't been in touch with the Liu family for many years, and I even thought that the Liu family had forgotten me, but ...... It's still coming to the door. ”

Old Cui Tou shook his head with a miserable smile, "Childe." ”

The young county commander shrank into a wide chair and calmly responded with a "hmm".

"The Liu family's love ...... I have to pay it back. ”

"Self-immolation."

"After burning the account, I wrote it off with the Liu family. But I'm sorry for Childe and the tens of thousands of refugees outside the city. ”

"What bullshit is this?"

"Don't even the son think bullshit......" Old Cui Tou looked at the sky and muttered, "The old man has calculated the accounts for a lifetime, but he still hasn't calculated this last one." ”

"As soon as you die, you are worthy of it?"

"The old man's life is cheap......"

"You're really cheap."

Ouyang Rong nodded, "You did a cheap thing, so your life is cheap, but you could have not been cheap, but you yourself have fallen." ”

Lao Cui was stunned, and Ouyang Rong's tone was firm: "The eldest husband has never been born cheap, cheap or not, it only depends on whether he has done noble and despicable things." What about you? Noble or mean? ”

"I ......" Lao Cui's body trembled, and he couldn't say a word.

Ouyang Rong leaned forward with his upper body, his elbows propped up on his knees, and coldly looked down at his gradually frightened eyes:

"Justice is not as important in your eyes as a bowl of porridge more than ten years ago?"

"I ......," said the old Cui Tou cowardly, "I think Childe can win...... Only one will be burned, and the remaining twelve will not affect the disaster relief ......"

"The Liu family is the first evil, the Liu family will not fall, copy the other twelve first, it is tantamount to driving wolves and raising tigers, and even promoting tigers and wolves to conspire and take the way to death. Besides......" Ouyang Rong asked calmly: "Whether I can win in the end or not has anything to do with whether you do despicable things?" ”

Old Cui Tou opened his mouth in a daze, unable to speak.

Ouyang Rong got up, looked at the distant mountains outside the window, and nodded:

"The grace of a meal will be repaid, I respect you as a man, it can be seen that you are a small grace and forget the great righteousness, you have shamed Wu Yue's boy."

Lao Cui's face was full of pain, he hugged his head and cried, and his hoarse voice was full of remorse: "Childe, I ...... I was wrong...... I miscalculated...... I'm sorry for you......"

"No, it's not me who you're most sorry for, you go and say sorry to the refugees outside the city."

There was a glimmer of light in Lao Cuitou's eyes, this glimmer of light was very complicated, there was guilt, remorse, hope for life, and pain for the future: "Okay, I'll apologize, go do something to atone for my sins, and make them cattle and horses for the rest ......of my life."

Ouyang Rong shook his head, "Don't be so troublesome, just go through a part of it." ”

"What part ......"

Before the old man finished his confused words, the young county commander walked neatly, slashed his sword, cut off a head, and the headless corpse fell to the ground on its back.

The young county magistrate, who was like cutting wheat in one go, stood in place, looked down at the sword in his hand and the "old Cui Tou".

The cold light of the sword body reflected a bloodless face with blackened flesh and blood.

It is a good sword, and the white blade is not stained with blood, but only slides down the beads of blood like mercury.

He can slay dragons.

Ouyang Rong, who killed for the first time, wiped the blood splashed on his face with the clothes on his shoulder, stood in place and put the sword into the sheath, but after trying several times, he couldn't insert the sheath hole in his waist, so he simply gave up, took a sword, carried a head, turned around and slowly went out.

In the courtyard, Xie Lingjiang, Qin Duwei, Yan Liulang, and Diao County Cheng were all there, and everyone gathered quietly outside the door, and opened their eyes to see a county commander with a weak scholarly temperament walking out with a head in one hand.

Xie Lingjiang hooked the two truncated bronze beast faces with his fingers, looked at his senior brother worriedly, and stepped forward to speak, but Yan Liulang pulled his sleeve behind.

The young county commander's blood-stained face was calm and terrifying.

He casually threw a human head in front of everyone:

"Traitor."

The audience was silent.

"Take it to the city and hang it." He said again.

A certain complex look mixed with awe appeared in everyone's eyes, and as Ouyang Rong moved forward expressionlessly, the crowd in front of him spontaneously parted ways.

Only Diao Xiancheng, who had just arrived at the scene and did not know the situation, was as broken as always, and said with a bitter face while greeting him:

"Mingfu, the lower officials said that they can't check it, they can't check it, what if they find out? It's going to kill people, what's the problem, let's go and talk to you kindly, to govern such a big county, so many squires and wealthy families, you have to simmer slowly......"

Ouyang Rong drew his sword abruptly and slashed forward, "Stew your mother's head." ”

"Ah...... Help, save ......"

Diao Xiancheng's frightened soul was frightened, hugging his head and running away, Ouyang Rong chased and killed behind with a heavy face and a sword, Diao Xiancheng opened his throat and called for help, but at the moment, no one dared to stop the county order that was running away, they all looked at it stupidly, and even some of the people who were blocking the way of the two of them silently gave way out......

So, in front of everyone's eyes, the order of a county and the prince of a county staged a wave of life and death in the courtyard.

"Mingfu calm...... Mingfu calmed down...... Yes! ”

It's a pity that Diao Xiancheng is a perennial eight sleepy and sleepy officialdom who stays up late to fight the god of war, where can he run past the 100-meter runner-up of the school sports meeting Ouyang County Ling, before he ran half a lap, he screamed, was kicked down by a kick flying from behind, a dog ate, and the black gauze hat flew out of the courtyard wall.

Ouyang Rong rode on Diao Xiancheng's body, holding the thin head with his hand, and the sword slammed into his neck, which was longer than a duck, and the white blade was almost completely sunk into the dirt.

The hairs on Diao Xiancheng's neck can almost sweep the edge of the blade, and he is so frightened that his soul is furious, and he stretches out his neck, like a duck that has been chopped off on a cutting board.

"Mingfu spares life, Mingfu spares life, woo woo woo......"

"Chirp crooked...... grinding in Lao Tzu's ears all day long, kneeling to ask for food and pulling Lao Tzu together?! ”

"Xia Guan didn't, Xia Guan is really good for the Ming Mansion...... Mingfu calm! Calm down! ”

Ouyang Rong fingers broke Diao Xiancheng's eyelids, his bloodshot eyes stared at Diao Xiancheng's frightened eyes, his right hand was held on the hilt of the sword next to his neck, as long as he gently pushed it forward, he could harvest a fresh head.

"Calm down?" The young county commander tilted his head: "Say, why is Lao Tzu stepping on Ma Jing coldly, I can't say it, chop off your head first and sacrifice the flag, and then I will lead the troops to Liu's house to knock on the door and raid the house one by one!" ”

“……!!!” Diao County Cheng.
