"Oh?"

The priestess paused and looked again, with a look of pity and curiosity on her face, though her face was covered with paint that no one could see:

"What kind of special law? In this sword shop, in addition to the grumpy old man halfway up the mountain, there are people who can make it inconvenient for you to move? ”

Liu Zi'an remembered the report of the Tsing Yi steward just now, and shook his head again:

"This little female worker named Aqing, the old gentleman likes it very much, so she can't move."

"What if you don't move?"

Liu Zi'an glanced at her, was quiet for a while, and suddenly said:

"It's hard to move...... It's because she happens to be a chess piece that doesn't start, and the big brother can't be alarmed in advance. ”

The priestess said impatiently, "What do you mean, what can be calculated in a lowly female worker?" That old man likes it, so he uses it to blackmail? ”

Liu Zi'an smiled and said:

"It has nothing to do with the old gentleman, it has something to do with the county magistrate.

"The brother of this little female worker, named Liu Ashan, used to be an official slave of the sword shop, but he was later rescued by the county order and helped him redeem himself.

"Now Liu Ashan is working under the county commander, although he is low-key on weekdays and is very deeply hidden, where can he escape the eyes of our Liu family.

"The eldest brother noticed him some time ago, and after careful investigation, this Liu Ashan's hands and feet are a little unclean, and he dares to install eyeliner in our sword shop to find out the news."

The priestess frowned: "Then you still don't do it?" ”

Liu Zian shook his head slightly:

"We're still working with the county government, although it won't be long......

"It's not convenient to clean up at the moment, it's easy to startle the snake, as for Liu Ashan's people in the sword shop, we have all kept an eye on them, and the information that can be transmitted is safe, and important things will not be inquired about.

"And this little female worker named A-Qing has also been staring at her for a while, she is very honest and well-behaved on weekdays, not like she is looking for news, and I don't know why Liu Ashan continued to keep her here, well, maybe I thought that the Liu family hadn't found out about him yet."

The second young master of the Liu family, who had a sick face, smiled:

"That's right, we will also plan it, pretend not to know, the eldest brother uses her as an idle chess piece, put it there, maybe one day it will be used."

The priestess sneered: "So it's used to threaten the new county order?" ”

Liu Zi'an tilted his head and said:

"This may be a little difficult, Ouyang Lianghan's personality is not like that Xie noblewoman, as for coercing Liu Ashan, there is no need for it at the moment.

"However, our people found out that Liu Asan took her to Merlot Park for a family banquet last night, so it seems that the relationship between the two families is quite good, maybe she can really be a weakness when she turns around. The eldest brother arranged it this way, so it's hard to move at the moment. ”

The priestess sneered, "Your Liu family is really full of interest calculations. ”

"Each other, each other."

At this time, the two of them stopped to chat, and saw a group of female spike workers pouring out of the sword spike workshop not far away, walking out in groups, as if it was time to rest.

And the handsome little maid they had just discussed was being watched and pointed out by many passing female spike workers, especially a thin-lipped female spike worker who took the lead, who was poking the little head of the handsome little maid with one hand on her waist and the other with her index finger, and her companions around her laughed from time to time.

The priestess's slightly fat chin tilted forward to signal:

"Then this one next to her, a sharp mouth looks very good at saying, spirituality should not be much less than hers."

This time, Liu Ziwen immediately nodded, his expression calm: "Okay." ”

"Let's go. I'm going to set up the ceremony. ”

The two turned to leave.

And the group of female spike workers behind them didn't know that the fate of some of them had been casually judged.

It's like stepping on an ant.

……

Ouyang Rong woke up in the morning, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly found that his mouth was sour and astringent.

The face is also a little spicy.

It's like being touched in the face by the hometown spicy vegetable oil I ate last night.

Ouyang Rong stretched out his hand from the futon and wiped his face and lips curiously.

Strange, how can there be a pungent taste like pepper and dogwood in the meal.

He brushed his teeth with a willow stick before going to bed last night.

Or rather.

"Wei Lai, did you kiss me secretly last night?"

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and asked the bulging quilt beside him.

The silver-haired girl emerged from the futon with a white-haired little head, sleepy eyes, fluffy hair on her forehead, and a bunch of dull hair that was pressed up, her gray-blue eyes struggled to open a small slit, and her mouth seemed to be dreaming twice:

"Hmm...... Not...... No......"

"Why is it a little sticky on the face, and there is a smell of pepper, isn't it..."

In the early morning, the young man with a straight face had not finished speaking, but he was stopped by the girl's lazy gentleness.

For a long time, separation.

The white-haired maid held the futon in both hands, raised her little head and said, "Is this it, master?" ”

“……”

Ouyang Rong glared at her, brushed off a few strands of silver from the corners of his mouth, and shook his head: "I didn't brush my teeth, aren't you afraid of strange smells?" ”

Wei Lai shook her head vigorously, "The master's is not to blame...... However, it does seem to smell a little dogwood today. ”

"I'll just say it. I thought it was yours, but you don't seem to have that taste. ”

"What the hell is that?"

Ouyang Rong and Wei Lai stared wide-eyed, but they still couldn't think of a reason, so they had to give up and didn't care.

After grinding for a while, the two got out of bed to start a new day.

Ouyang Rong finished eating breakfast in Merlot Garden, and under the eager and soft eyes of the white-haired maid, he rushed to the yamen to pay the duty.

He wore the new robe sent by Ah Qing today, not to mention, it was quite well-proportioned.

Ah Qing really has a heart.

Ouyang Rong's heart was quite warm.

When I came to the yamen, in the greeting of my subordinates, I walked into the office and worked with the scribes on the affairs of the public gate.

In the morning, Ouyang Rong was very energetic, buried himself in the case, and didn't even drink a few sips of the cold tea on the table, when suddenly a series of crisp wooden fish sounds played in his ears interrupted his writing thoughts.

It was so quiet that only the sound of Sasha writing in the hall of the office paused, and the slender right hand of the young county commander pinching the brush behind the leading public case paused.

He looked up at the quiet hall and his subordinates, and his expression was a little puzzled.

If you are good, why did you suddenly increase a large amount of merit value?

A series of wooden fish sounds made Ouyang Rong's ears a little numb.

Confused, he put down the wolf and got up, and whispered to the scribes to rest for a while, and he went straight out and wandered down the long corridor outside.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in private, the young county magistrate looked at an empty official's house, entered the house and closed the door, sat down on a chair instead, closed his eyes and sank into the merit tower.

When he came to the merit pagoda, everything around him was the same, and he looked at the merit value above the small wooden fish:

[Merit: Nine thousand and twenty-one]

A few days ago, after exchanging a good fortune in Yunshui Pavilion that he still couldn't figure out, the remaining merit value was eight thousand six hundred and thirty-one, and these days, the merit value only increased by less than one hundred on this basis.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Di Gong Gate and the Folding Wing Canal have not been completed, so naturally there is no large amount of income, so he can only rely on the long stream of water from the twenty-four disaster relief camps on the outskirts of the city, and his good deeds in the past few days, plus the wool accumulation of silver-haired maids.

But just now, when he was working at his desk, in just ten breaths, his merit value skyrocketed by more than 300 points.

It is clear that this comes from the same "source".

"What good have I done?"

Ouyang Rong touched his chin and wandered around the merit tower for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason, and suddenly, he heard some sounds from the outside world.

Ouyang Rong immediately broke away from the merit tower, got up and left the officer's room, and immediately heard the voice of Liu Asan around the corner not far away.

"Have you seen the master?"

"The Ming Mansion seems to have gone to the toilet...... one of the scribes replied.

Ouyang Rong walked over and greeted from afar: "Here, Ah Shan." ”

The thin and tall man walked over immediately, his face was quite serious, it should be something important, Ouyang Rong took him into the unoccupied room just now, and when the door was closed, Liu Ashan said directly:

"Master, my people in the sword shop found out that the Jiasan Sword Furnace, which has been making a strange fire, no longer smokes early this morning, and it should be a fire that was extinguished in the middle of the night.

"Based on my previous experience working in the Guyue Sword Shop, it should be a certain sword that was burned in this furnace."

Ouyang Rong stared sideways.
