"Why didn't you die sooner? Well? Why didn't you die sooner? ”

At the table, a man's voice was heard in the darkness.

"From childhood to adulthood, everything in the family is yours, and all good things are on you, from the Trojan horse swing when you were a child, to the family wealth woman when you grow up, it's all yours!

"Daddy and mother love you the most, and the waste of the wine bag and rice bag, it's just that I don't like the sick son of Lao Tzu.

"All the family business is inherited for you, and a good wife and mother are also married to you early, why, why, ah? Just because you came out before me? Just because you're the firstborn?

"Then why didn't you die sooner, huh? Wouldn't it be nice if you died sooner, there wouldn't be so many things if you died early!

"The most damned, the most damn thing is that you want to take us to be honest dogs for the Wei family, and you have worked hard for more than ten years, and in the end you still have to make wedding clothes for others.

"Lao Tzu has been with you for more than ten years, you can't practice qi by yourself, and you would rather hand over the Ding Sword to outsiders than to your siblings, what is my younger brother in your eyes, what is it? Yes?

"Are you afraid that Lao Tzu will get the Ding Sword and ride on your head, so it is better to cheapen others?

"Liu Ziwen, don't you want to give anything to Lao Tzu, from childhood to adulthood, you have to take everything, in the name of beauty, family harmony, brothers, friends and brothers, and they are not separated......

"Hahaha, points! Why don't you divide it, take everything you want, and I'll take mine too. ”

The man's voice in the darkness of the room stopped abruptly.

There was silence for a while.

The lights in the house suddenly turned on one after another, and the lights were bright.

Liu Zi'an sat at the table, fiddling with the pot in his hand, pouring tea and water.

He moved slowly and methodically, and said with a calm face:

"Big brother, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame yourself for losing, losing to Ouyang Lianghan.

"If you don't die, Ouyang Lianghan will burn this fire on the Liu family, and when the time comes, you will be the sinner in the eyes of the ancestors of the Liu family."

Liu Zi'an picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, looked at the Liu family's mansion outside the door and the Guyue sword shop in the distance, and said softly:

"Now it's all mine."

……

Early the next morning.

Liu Zi'an was dressed in a white filial piety dress again and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Not far away, several servants of the Liu family passed by, he lowered his head, and then raised his head, his face tired, and his eyes palpitated.

"Good morning, second master." The servants saluted.

Liu Zi squeezed out a smile on her tired face, nodded her head, and turned to leave.

The servants turned their heads and looked at the down-and-out back of the second head of the Liu family, and couldn't help but lean in and sigh:

"The second master and the master are really brothers."

"Fortunately, the second master is here, otherwise after the master leaves, he will leave his wife and the little master orphans and widows, helpless, what should I do at home, the third master is that ...... skinny again"

Behind him, the whispers of servants were heard intermittently.

Liu Zi'an's face remained unchanged, he glanced at the sun, and with a turn of his footsteps, he was about to go to the back house where his eldest sister-in-law Xu was and cared about.

That's when it happened.

"Second brother!"

"Second master! Big things are wrong! ”

Liu Zilin hurried over with Liu Fu and others, the former looked panicked, and pointed to the mountain and hurriedly said.

"Ouyang Lianghan's people didn't know where they came from, and they took the county officials to force their way into the sword shop early in the morning and search the sword furnace.

"It is said that he received a report from the public, and a female spike worker was lost in the sword shop on the west bank, and she wanted to come in to search for people."

Liu Zi'an's face changed, and he rushed towards the sword shop under the mountain.

……

Gu Yue sword shop.

A group of uninvited guests broke in today.

However, not many of the craftsmen in the sword shop dared to stand up and stop them.

The craftsmen looked in awe, looking at the group of hunters in front of them who were searching the sword furnace one by one under the leadership of a blue-clothed catcher.

"Cooperate with each other, go out and line up by the wall."

Yan Liulang walked resolutely.

The craftsmen who had been temporarily expelled from the sword furnace looked at each other.

A few days ago, the public trial was huge, a huge Liu family, the demolition of the industry, the compensation of the compensation, and the division of the shares.

After Liu Ziwen died, only this Guyue sword shop remained in the hands of Liu Zi'an and Liu Zilin.

I thought that the county master was merciful.

Two days ago, Liu Zi'an also came to the sword shop to convene everyone to give speeches and appease people's hearts.

But now look at this formation...... Could it be that the Liujia sword shop is also going to change?

Just when Yan Liulang led his subordinates to search the fire-burning sword furnaces by the river, the craftsmen were panicking.

Not far from the riverside, three figures were slowly walking behind and followed.

"What does this mean? Early in the morning, I brought my official here to watch the arresters search the sword shop of the Liu family. ”

Shen Xisheng turned his head and asked curiously.

I wasn't annoyed at all by being disturbed early in the morning.

This Jiangnan Provincial Inspector from the imperial history is dressed in a noble crimson official uniform.

Standing with Ouyang Rong, who was wearing the official uniform of Qipin County, he looked very dazzling on the monotonous Jianpu street on the west bank, and it was also the focus of the awe-inspiring gaze of the surrounding craftsmen.

Ouyang Rong wore a white sandalwood jade target knife on his left waist, and the new long sword that he accidentally obtained the day before yesterday was thrown into the hands of the little junior sister behind him.

Xie Lingjiang hugged his sword with a cold face, and silently followed behind Ouyang Rong and Shen Xisheng.

Ouyang Rong smiled and patiently explained:

"Excuse me Lord Shen, in fact, I just said it, it is a family surnamed Zhang in the street of Longcheng County Ya in the past two days, saying that her youngest daughter is working as a spike worker in the sword spike workshop of Guyue Sword Shop, and she was lost not long ago, so I asked our county government to look for it, so we came."

"Oh, is it that simple? Call this official here......" Shen Xisheng glanced at Ouyang Rong, who was smiling, "Is there any surprise to show this official?" ”

Ouyang Rong thought about it, turned his head and smiled:

"Isn't it just okay to see Lord Shen settle down in Dragon City to rest in the past two days, so I thought that I would just invite Lord Shen to come out to observe and observe, which can be regarded as an inspection of the work of the lower officials.

"As for surprises...... The lower officials don't know, let's look at it again, what if you check it and check it? ”

Ouyang Rong said casually in his mouth, his eyes not forgetting to look left and right at this sword shop on the west bank.

In the past, he was just on the other side of Penglangdu, looking at here across the Butterfly Creek.

This is also Ouyang Rong's first time here.

Previously, he hadn't paid much attention to the sword shop under the Liu family.

But just like Ouyang Rong said to Xie Lingjiang two days ago, there is no place in Longcheng County that is outside the law.

Although at the moment, the family business accumulated by the Liu family in Longcheng for several generations has been demolished by him, and Liu Ziwen, the head of the first evil family, is also beheaded, Liu Zi'an, Liu Zilin and others look at meek and docile, and they also go to Longcheng County every day to cooperate with the instructions issued by him in this county order.

But the incident of bringing back Ah Qing at the beginning, as well as the strange long sword that he recently obtained by chance, seemed to faintly point to this West Coast sword shop that he had never been to.

He only believed what he saw with his eyes.

So today, Ouyang Rong gathered people and invited Shen Xisheng to come over, and decided to come over in person to find out some truths.

Because when the rain at the end of the rainy season completely stopped, and the second phase of the Folding Wing Canal was back on track, he began to prepare to leave.

Before leaving, Ouyang Rong didn't want to leave any possible hidden dangers.

And it just so happened that the case of the disappearance of Zhang Qian, a female spike worker who was laid out before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, gave him a hand to come over to seek justice, and he can be regarded as a famous teacher.

Then bring someone in and check it out.

What if you find something?

After sorting out his thoughts, Ouyang Rong bowed his head slightly.

Next to the young county commander, Shen Xisheng, who was skinny and had a straight waist, seemed to hear some extraneous sounds.

"It's really that simple, so why did you come and search so early?"

Ouyang Rong smiled but said nothing.

Shen Xisheng twisted his beard and turned his head, and glanced at Ouyang Rong beside him with some meaning.

In the past two days in Longcheng County, although he was silently dealing with the things explained by his friend, he was not just resting behind closed doors at his residence, but watched the methods of this friend Gaotu with his own eyes.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ouyang Rong's ingenious operation to split the Liu family was an eye-opener.

However, what Shen Xisheng appreciated the most was Ouyang Rong's restrained use of public power within his duties.

Don't look at it as insignificant right now.

It seems redundant to put it on a seven-grade county order, and it is not a prince who holds huge authority and needs to be cautious in everything.

However, didn't the original Difuzi also go all the way up from such a sesame official?

Therefore, for this alone, Shen Xisheng felt that he had surpassed most of the young heroes he had seen in Luojing Yushitai.

The wind rises at the end of the green ping, and the waves become between the waves.

See the details.

Shen Xisheng stroked his long beard and nodded slightly, but it seemed that he thought of that old friend, and his mouth was slightly sour.

Ouyang Rong didn't know what Shen Xisheng was thinking.

In the morning, the craftsmen and slaves of the Guyue Sword Shop came to work one after another, and they were frightened by the momentum of the blue-clothed hunters searching the sword shop, and they stopped to gather one after another.

After searching every sword furnace, Yan Liulang returned to report, and now most of the search is complete, and there is no abnormality for the time being.

Ouyang Rong listened for a while, and then personally stepped forward to arrange and order.

The sword furnace at the core of the Guyue Sword Shop is close to the river, and the wind by the river is strong, and it is quite cold on the body.

Ouyang Rong tightened his sleeves a little.

While Ouyang Rong was busy, Shen Xisheng turned his head and said a few words to Xie Lingjiang, the daughter of an old friend, who replied politely, his eyes glancing at the back of the senior brother in front of him from time to time.

"Virtuous niece...... Forehead. ”

At a certain moment, Shen Xisheng called again, but he didn't see Xie Lingjiang responding, turned his head to look, and found that Xie Lingjiang's figure behind him had disappeared, and his face was stunned.

Xie Lingjiang only disappeared for a short while, and then turned back.

It's just that there is one more thing in the sleeve of her robe.

"Whoa."

Xie Lingjiang's robe bulged with sleeves, stepped forward, reached out and took out a piece of sugar cake wrapped in the sleeves of his robe, and silently handed it to Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong, who was looking into the distance, was stunned for a moment and looked down.

"It's ......"

Xie Ling Jiang Baisheng's hot cake in his little hand squeezed forward again, signaling.

Ouyang Rong raised his hand to take it, "Thank you, senior sister." ”

He took a bite of the hot sugar pancake and subconsciously asked, "By the way, you don't eat it?" ”

Xie Lingjiang shook his head, continued to hold his sword with a cold face, and looked around.

At this moment, she seemed to feel a certain gaze and turned her head to look.

It was Shen Xisheng's rather resentful gaze.

Xie Lingjiang: "......"

"Ahem."

Shen Xisheng, who watched silently for a while, couldn't help it, covered his mouth and coughed, and glanced at the pair of handsome young men and beautiful women in front of him.

Xie Lingjiang's eyes averted slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Shen didn't eat in the morning?" ”

As he spoke, he was about to turn around and go to the morning market in the sword shop he had just passed not far away to sell bread again.

Ouyang Rong reacted, put down the hot cake, broke off a small piece of the part he ate, and handed a large piece to Shen Xisheng, "Lord Shen fills his stomach." ”

Shen Xisheng waved his hand and refused politely, and also called out to Xie Lingjiang: "It's okay, it's okay, the old man is not hungry at all." ”

It was indeed fed.

Shen Xisheng glanced at Xian's niece again. This girl is very careful, and she remembers so clearly whether your senior brother had dinner in the morning.

Just when the awkward atmosphere of the three of them eased down a little.

A group of hurried figures appeared on the street in the direction of the gate of the sword shop, and the first person was Liu Zi'an.

"Lord Shen, Lord County Order, the two adults are here, why don't you know that Liu will say something, hahaha."

Liu Zi'an approached with an embarrassed smile, turned around and spread his hands to signal the direction of the Liu family's mansion:

"Come on, come on, the cold house has prepared tea, please ask the two adults to move, the two adults come, the cold house is full of flowers."

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes, gnawed the hot cake without any left, and did not move his steps, without the slightest intention of moving with Shen Xisheng, Xie Lingjiang and others, and then said lightly The words also made Liu Zi'an smile stiffen for a moment.

"Don't bother Liu Ershao to entertain, just come here to find a lost person, the recent security in our Longcheng County is not very good." I don't know if Liu Er has never seen this woman......"

Ouyang Rong turned his head to report the Zhang family, and he brought someone to search for the female spike worker Zhang Qian, and said lightly.

Liu Zi'an smiled reluctantly, shook his head and said:

"Lord County Order, the grass people have heard a little about this woman's loss, but they really haven't seen it, and some time ago, the stewards of the sword shop have been asked to look for it, but there is no news......

"Lord County Commander, there must be no sword shop here, and we have checked it many times, so why don't you hunt for it in another place."

Ouyang Rong smiled and shook his head seriously: "It's better to search more, maybe you will find someone?" Liu Er Shao didn't let him, is there something unspeakable? Or, is there anything in this Guyue Sword Shop that is inconvenient for everyone to see? ”

"Haha, of course not, of course not, there is nothing that can't be checked, the sword furnace county by the river should be checked."

Liu Zi'an hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile.

Ouyang Rong glanced at him, turned his head and ordered Yan Liulang and the others to continue to search the remaining riverside sword furnace.

Behind him, Liu Zi'an, who couldn't insert his mouth, waited with the sword shop stewards, and looked at each other helplessly from time to time.

After a while, the search was completed, and Yan Liulang and the others returned.

The former glanced at Liu Zi'an, who was silent behind Ouyang Rong, and arched his hand:

"Tell the Ming Mansion, Lord Shen, I didn't find the figure of the female worker Zhang Qian."

When Liu Zi'an in the rear heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked at Ouyang Rong's expression silently.

The young county commander nodded slightly, and suddenly turned around, wanting to leave.

Liu Zi'an smiled and followed:

"Lord County Commander, it's normal that you haven't found anyone, and the grass people have sent people to look for them a few times before, but I don't know where people went...... Why don't you go to the humble house for a cup of hot tea first......"

Ouyang Rong didn't stop, and took the lead and walked towards a place in the sword shop.

"Your Excellency, ...... you"

Liu Zi'an was stunned when he saw this, but in the next second, when he saw the direction of Ouyang Rong clearly, his face was confused at first, and then turned white again.

Ouyang Rong followed what he had heard in his memory, and silently walked into a morning market not far away where Xie Lingjiang had just bought sugar and oil cakes.

Right now, it seems that because of the poor people from the county government, the morning market that should have been very lively at this point is now a lot deserted, but there are still diners in twos and threes, who have raised their heads and looked at Ouyang.

Ouyang Rong stretched out his palm to the side, and Yan Liulang silently handed over a pot of rice wine that had been prepared a long time ago.

Ouyang Rong stepped forward alone and walked to a table in the middle of a breakfast shop.

There was a light "bang".

A jar of wine fell on the table in front of an old craftsman who was eating pasta silently with his head bowed.

The old craftsman lowered his head and ate quietly for a while, then slowly raised his head, glanced at Ouyang Rong, who was looking at him calmly, and then turned his head and glanced at the pot of rice wine on the table.

Ouyang Rong, who specially rushed to a morning gathering today, said with a smile:

"I heard A-Qing mention you, and she asked me to bring you a pot of rice wine, and I hope to smile."

The old craftsman nodded silently.
