Longbei Mountain on the west bank of the Yuenu Gorge is not too high.

But it's enough to look down on the Di Gong Gate.

Especially the midsummer night when the moon is sparse.

It's just that there are more mosquitoes, and they always drill into the collar and sleeve.

"Mingfu, what are we going to do...... Looking at the stars? ”

"If you want to look at the stars, why should my little sister and I take you with you?"

“……”

It makes sense.

On a narrow lawn on Longbei Mountain, Diao Xiancheng took a few long followers behind him, he couldn't help but reach out and scratch the itch everywhere, and at the same time looked at the backs of the pair of handsome men and beautiful women in front of him, and asked curious questions from time to time.

This high lawn with a good view on Longbei Mountain is a place where the young county magistrate likes to take them every morning.

From here, you can overlook the Digong Gate below, and even overlook the sparkling, thousand-island Yunmengze in the distance.

It's just that the scenery is good during the day.

But I'm here in the middle of the night......

Diao County Cheng sighed melancholy, it was really difficult to meet such an official as Mingfu, and he was not blessed.

He can always give you something very new.

"Mingfu, then why don't we go down, aren't we going to the gate...... Why do you come here in the middle of the night? ”

"Didn't you say that, interesting?"

Ouyang Rong turned around with a smile, and threw a small bottle of mosquito repellent cream prepared for him by the little junior sister to Diao Xiancheng who was shrunk behind him after applying it:

"Let's wipe it off. Well, Master Diao came closer. ”

Diao Xiancheng hurriedly took it, his eyes lit up, he smeared it, and said in his mouth:

"Mingfu, the lower officials are afraid of heights, or don't get too close to the cliff, it's easy to get dizzy."

"Come here."

"Forget it, what's going on below, just tell the lower officials directly, and the lower officials listen carefully......"

"Come here."

"Ming Mansion, Xia Guan is really afraid of heights, and he fell from the roof when he was young."

"I'm not interested in Lord Diao's youth. Come over, you can't fall down. ”

"Ming Mansion ......"

"I told you to come here, don't pretend to be confused."

"Ah...... Mingfu, don't! ”

The young county commander smiled and grabbed the thin arm of the old county man, who looked like a thin monkey, and forcibly pulled it to his side, that is, the edge of the lawn halfway up the mountainside, and pointed to the direction of Di Gongzha under his fingers, and tilted his chin to signal.

"Diao Xiancheng can see what they are doing clearly?"

"Overtime on night duty...... Right? ”

"You call this overtime on night duty?" Xie Lingjiang squinted his eyes at the old fritter next to him who didn't want to touch anything:

"Sneaking around is like a nest of rats, oh no, there's still a little difference, after all, it's a prison guard stealing, and it's also on night duty, do you want to give them an extra supper?"

Diao County shrank his head and shrunk his head, silent as a cicada.

The eyes that originally wanted to dodge were still attracted by the quiet scene that was happening in the Di Gong Gate.

He and several of his attendants behind him craned their necks to stare at the strange thing below.

On the Di Gong Gate, where a torch is erected every ten meters, there are many figures.

A group of craftsmen under Mr. Chen were carefully carrying wooden barrels, and under the leadership and command of a chubby priest, Yuguan entered the inner gate of Di Gong Gate, which was about to be completed and was also the last to be completed.

At the door of the inner gate, Mr. Chen and other old craftsmen took out the key, opened the door in turn, and let the craftsmen enter.

Faintly, these craftsmen could be seen carrying wooden barrels in, leaving empty-handed.

It was obvious that the strange barrels had been left in the inner lock, which was about to be completed.

This scene was quietly going on on the gate, or it was happening brightly, after all, it was illuminated by the torches on the side, and it was difficult to hide the night.

But no one stopped it.

Looking to the left from the high platform of Longbei Mountain, where Ouyang Rong and Diao Xiancheng are located, in the camp on duty on the river beach on the other side, bonfires are being lit everywhere, and many county government clerks and workers are resting for dinner.

It seems that no one knows what is happening in an orderly manner on the Di Gong Gate not far away.

In other words, some people may have seen it or even asked, but they only thought that it was Mr. Chen and other craftsmen who were working at night, so they didn't have much suspicion, and continued to guard the camp on the periphery, guarding against external movements, but they never thought of the strange situation in the Di Gong Gate behind them.

Ouyang Rong turned his head and asked with a smile:

"What does Master Diao think of this scenery, didn't you come in vain?"

Diao Xiancheng was silent, his round eyes quietly reflecting the scenes that were happening below.

"Master Diao's neck is so long, it seems that he is not afraid of heights."

Ouyang Rong pondered for a moment and said with a smile.

Diao Xiancheng couldn't help but grasp the thin-necked porcelain bottle containing mosquito repellent paste in his hand, his mouth was dry, and he stammered:

"Mingfu, he ...... They're ......."

"Obviously, it's night duty." Ouyang Rong replied.

"......" Diao County.

"Lord Diao is not pretending to be confused?" Xie Lingjiang said sideways.

"Master Xie laughed."

Diao Xiancheng laughed, looked at it silently for a while, and he couldn't help but turn his head:

"Mingfu, Master Xie, let's just stand like this, why don't we go down and take a look? Stop them? ”

"Stop, why stop? Lord Diao is dying? It's a slide that can't be touched. ”

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but lean back slightly, and inhaled with his teeth:

"Master Diao wants to catch the rapist in bed? Well, you have to weigh your thin arms and legs as appropriate, what if you can't beat the adulterer? ”

The young county magistrate's playful expression was put away, and he asked with a chuckle:

"If we go down now, there are a lot of them, where can we fight."

"It's so small, sneaky, it's unreasonable!"

Diao Xiancheng gritted his teeth and waved his sleeves vigorously and muttered.

Then he observed Ouyang Rong's calm face with his eyes, and asked cautiously:

"So what now, Ming Mansion? Do you want to avoid the edge for the time being, let's bring troops to copy them again tomorrow, and arrest them all and try them one by one? ”

"What is Lord Diao anxious about? Maybe people just transported a little flowers, plants, bricks and stones into it, and put it in the lock chamber as a ballast stone to add weight...... Well, what do you think of this set of rhetoric? ”

Diao Xiancheng immediately shook his head and said:

"Xia Guan didn't believe it! If it's really a fair and righteous thing, why do you choose to be sneaky in the middle of the night, there must be a ghost in your heart......

"Ming Mansion, those wooden barrels brought by the priests of the Dragon King Temple are definitely not good things, it is recommended to investigate them thoroughly."

Ouyang Rong's sideways glance retracted from Diao Xiancheng's face as he was righteous, and silently looked at the craftsmen below who had finished transporting the barrels and began to finish their work in an orderly manner.

He nodded, shook his head again, and asked only in his mouth:

"Lord Diao, can you see who are down there?"

"Look...... See clearly. ”

Diao Xiancheng organized the following language:

"A priest named Yuan Tao, as well as Mr. Chen and his craftsmen."

Ouyang Rong asked casually:

"And what are they doing?"

"Tonight, in the lock chamber of the inner gate of the Digong Gate, I will transport buckets of things that I don't know what the name is or what I don't know what to use."

After a pause, seeing that the young county commander in front of him was silent, Diao County Cheng stiffened his head and continued to organize the language:

"These wooden barrels were brought by the priests of the Dragon King Temple who were invited to hold the gate washing ceremony today, under the pretext that they were the materials used by the craftsmen of the Liu family to build the inner gates."

"Oh? It turned out that Diao Xiancheng's eyes were so good, and he could see a lot of things. ”

Diao Xiancheng and his subordinates glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and said:

"Ming Mansion! These things that happened, the subordinates and their subordinates saw it clearly. If there is a problem with the newly repaired Di Gong Gate, they will do it! Be sure to get to the bottom of it. ”

"Huh."

Ouyang Rong caged his sleeves and stood on the edge of the lawn cliff, for some reason, he sighed, he nodded and said:

"But Master Diao's translation is good."

Speaking of this, Ouyang Rong turned his head and smiled:

"Since Lord Diao and you have seen it with your own eyes, it's okay, don't say much in the next few days, wait for the official to arrange."

Diao Xiancheng and the entourage behind him were stunned.

Ouyang Rong stared at them with his eyes and asked softly, "Do you understand?" ”

"Ming...... I see. ”

"Okay. Let's go back first, it's not early, but you can't delay Lord Diao's sleep. ”

"Mingfu said that it was funny, business is important, business is important!"

Ouyang Rong smiled, and left with Xie Lingjiang, who was standing with a sword, without replying:

"Master Diao will go down the mountain from another road, go back by yourself, be careful on the way. The official still has some things, so he won't accompany him. ”

"Yes, Mingfu."

Here it is, grab the little tail of the day and cough cough. There is a shift around 12 o'clock in the evening! (pouted)
