"Wei Lai, did I say anything in my dreams last night?"

In the breakfast hall of Merlot Garden, in front of a table of eight immortals with messy dishes and chopsticks, Ouyang Rong, who had finished eating, stood up and spread his hands, and let Ye Weilai and other maids put on a water-green official uniform for him.

During this time, he suddenly turned back and asked.

Ye Weilai kept moving in her hands, fastened her belt for him, and said quietly:

"Like, said something."

Ouyang Rong said with a straight face: "Don't say it." Especially...... In front of the little junior sister. ”

"Yes, master."

Ye Weilai hurriedly nodded her little head.

Dressed neatly, taking the white sandalwood jade target knife and matching it, Ouyang Rong patted his sleeves, Lang smiled and thanked the maids, stepped out of the door, and started a new day of fishing, no, it was impartial law enforcement and dedication to duty.

However, the back of the young county magistrate paused in front of the door, he turned his face, as if he had thought of something, and said solemnly with a skirt knife in his hand:

"Wei Lai, don't bring the skirt knife to bed next time you go to bed, it feels weird, and you can't sleep well......"

Ye Weilai stood at the front of the group of maids, was stunned when she heard the words, slightly deviated her gaze, and nodded cautiously:

"Listen to Tanlang's ...... Tan Lang traveled safely. ”

"Hmm."

Ye Weilan held the threshold with her hands, silently watching the back of Tan Lang who waved his hand and disappeared outside the door.

At a certain moment, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in green clothes on the corridor not far away.

It's a slender mute woman.

It seems that he is also silently watching Tan Lang go out early and return late.

It's just that...... Tan Lang didn't know that there was such a woman waiting for him at home.

Ye Weilai bit her lip.

She suddenly understood the complicated look in the eyes that the embroidery girl sometimes looked at her......

Saying goodbye to the personal maid at the door, Ouyang Rong met with the honest Liu Ashan and went to the Longcheng Office on the same street.

On the way, Ouyang Rong rubbed his face, his eyes pondered, and his hand was lowered from the jade handle of the skirt knife.

This knife handle is touched too much, and the little junior sister seems to have a sense of ...... Well, he had to get rid of the bad habit of subconsciously holding the skirt knife around his waist with his palm, otherwise he couldn't help touching this round jade handle even when he slept in bed at night.

He had a strange dream last night, about the little sister, it seems that he still said something in his dreams.

Ouyang Rong was a little weird and embarrassed.

He didn't dare to think about the specific dream anymore.

It's just that the little junior sister may sense him touching the skirt knife in the middle of the night...... Ouyang Rong's face was a little embarrassed.

I don't know how to explain it if I ask......

Early in the morning, in the carriage, a certain young county magistrate sighed, which provoked the wooden man who was driving the carriage in front of him couldn't help but look back.

However, Liu Ahan only said that his master was thinking about a big problem for the country and the people.

But I don't know that someone is muttering in his heart:

"I've been sleeping a little heavily these nights, maybe I've been relaxing recently, but it's a good thing, I feel more and more energetic during the day, and there seems to be an inexhaustible force in my body......

"I just got up early and went off with a gun, that little girl is really getting more and more presumptuous, she dares to touch the handle of any knife, and let me cure any water...... You really don't think of me as an outsider. ”

Someone sitting in the carriage was full of repentance, and his eyebrows were serious: "Righteousness leaks, remember it again." ”

"But it may also be that Liu Ziwen and the Liu family have fallen, and subconsciously feel that it is not too challenging, but if you want to be prepared for danger in times of peace, Ouyang Lianghan, there is still one last step to control the water......"

Ouyang Rong shook his head lightly, muttering about himself in his mouth.

This is called three times a day.

His regular operation.

What is the self-cultivation of a righteous man and a gentleman, forked waist.

Ouyang Rong is an old gentleman.

……

"Senior brother, was you from the Liu family just now? What are they doing here? ”

In the hall of Longcheng County, Xie Lingjiang, who entered the door, turned his head to look at the back of the lame servant and others who had just passed by her and saluted respectfully, and when they left, Xie Lingjiang frowned slightly.

"Liu Fu, you know, Liu Zi'an sent it."

Ouyang Rong bowed his head indifferently, got up and left the public desk, and poured tea for the little junior sister.

Xie Lingjiang asked curiously, "What does Liu Zi'an want to do?" ”

Ouyang Rong nodded and said:

"After the Liu family was divided, now they are quite honest, and Liu Zi'an has been replaced as the head of the family, but he is quite obedient, much more sensible than his brother, not only take the initiative to cooperate with the official affairs of the county government, but also report everything to me, the parent official.

He also took the initiative to propose that the Liu family take the lead in funding to help build the second phase of the Folding Wing Canal and contribute to it......

"This whole thing is more exemplary than the model good people in Longcheng County, which makes this official embarrassed."

Ouyang Rong praised him, but he didn't see any smile on his face.

After listening to this calm narration, Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but look sideways and ask:

"Then the senior brother has relented, he has changed his opinion of the Liu family, and he wants to show mercy to his subordinates, and not to investigate the matter of the ribbon-cutting ceremony pretending to be the senior brother assassinating the court official?"

"Yes."

Ouyang Rong nodded as usual, and said with a smile before the little junior sister stared:

"It's weird."

"Senior brother, you...... Hum. ”

"Drink tea."

Ouyang Rong was skilled, boiling tea, handing over a cup of hot mist teacup, and said leisurely:

"Right and wrong are clear and cannot be offset, if an apology is useful, then what else does the government have to do in this world.

"But stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Liu Zi'an behaved so honestly, with a sincere appearance of knowing that he was wrong and correcting it, as a parent official, I naturally have to express my position.

"He's not a horse bone, but I don't spend a lot of money.

"And the matter of the ribbon-cutting ceremony and the jade fairy is naturally not over, the little junior sister continues to check, if there is anything that needs help, just ask.

"The reason why I didn't clean up Liu Zi'an and completely eradicate the Liu family was because someone above was protecting them...... The newcomer Lord Jiangzhou Thorn King is really willing to vouch for his face, and he doesn't know how many local products this Liu family has sent to him, so he is not afraid of being dragged down the quagmire and getting dirty. ”

Ouyang Rong looked out of the lobby and sneered, he turned around, sighed and said:

"However, Liu Zi'an and the Liu family only have a sword shop and an ancestral house left, and they don't have the strength to interfere with the affairs of the Longcheng County Government anymore, so they are not in a hurry to clean them up, and it is not impossible to keep them for the time being."

"It's good that senior brother thinks about it."

Xie Lingjiang's face showed some shame:

"But it's also my fault sister, the case on my side has not moved for a long time, and I can't quickly solve the case and nail the final coffin board to the Liu family, so as to share the worries of the senior brother, otherwise even if Wang Lengran wants to intervene and offer a black gauze hat of the history of the assassination of Yizhou, he will not be able to protect the Liu family,"

Ouyang Rong shook his head and comforted:

"Don't worry, take your time, it's the first time you've led a team to do things, and you've already performed better than many people, and you've matured a lot."

After a pause, Ouyang Rong couldn't help but glance at Xie Lingjiang's face a few more times.

I saw that under the pair of slender willow eyes on her pretty face, there were obvious pale bruises and purple eye bags.

I don't know if it was because I had insomnia last night and didn't sleep well.

However, this kind of thing appears on the body of the little junior sister, it is very rare, in the past, Ouyang Rong saw the little junior sister every day, she was full of vitality, for the physique of a qi practitioner, it is difficult to have something similar to insomnia and lack of rest.

"Little junior sister, what's wrong with your face, didn't you sleep well last night......"

"Nope."

Xie Ling Jiang denied it.

When she went back last night, she didn't have insomnia tossing and turning......

Looking at the little junior sister who lowered her head and silently sipped tea, Ouyang Rong's eyes were worried, and she stopped talking.

Xie Lingjiang's eyes rolled up and glanced at Senior Brother's face.

"Senior brother, don't worry."

Her little face tightened and said:

"It's just that there has been a little bit of a fork in qi refining recently, and it doesn't matter."

"Do you want to see the doctor?" Ouyang Rong suggested.

"What's wrong...... The doctor can't cure it. Xie Lingjiang shook his head.

"And who can cure it well?" Ouyang Rong blurted out.

Xie Lingjiang didn't answer, holding the hot teacup in his hand, his black pearl-like lacquered eyes silently glanced down at the white sandalwood jade target knife on Ouyang Rong's waist,

Ouyang Rong was stunned for a moment, and noticed the little junior sister's gaze, and his gaze moved down the line of defense of her line of sight, landing on the skirt knife on his waist.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly said: "Senior brother, just sleep honestly at night." ”

Ouyang Rong's complexion changed.

"Ahem." He coughed twice, as if his throat was also thirsty, and hurriedly lowered his head to drink tea.

Ouyang Rong felt that his old face was hotter than the teacup porcelain wall in his hand.

He remembered the events of last night again.

It's just that he had a wrong spring dream in the middle of the night, and his hand touched the handle of the skirt knife, which affected the little junior sister of Yilanxuan in Sufu not far away, and she lost sleep all night......

"Hmph."

Xie Lingjiang glanced at the senior brother who seemed to be guilty and embarrassed, and snorted softly.

However, the senior brother reacted like this, and most of the original anger in her heart has now dissipated.

After another night's time, I am not as ashamed as yesterday.

It's just that the sorrow of the daughter's family seems to be like stepping on the stone and leaving a photo, faintly lingering in the depths of her heart, just like the cup of tea in her hand at the moment.

It seems that everything is silent.

The atmosphere between the brothers and sisters was a little awkward for a while.

No one spoke first.

Xie Lingjiang glanced at the senior brother who was stiff and not afraid of hot tea.

In fact, there was a little annoying doubt, which was entangled in her slightly trembling heart.

Didn't the personal maid of the senior brother last night say that the senior brother likes the maid to pretend to be the senior sister in the private bed and play with that...... The role-playing thing.

Later, when she was about to enter the house, she also heard her senior brother calling her name in a dream, which seemed to be some embarrassing spring dream.

Doesn't that mean that the senior brother doesn't have no feelings for her, a little junior sister...... It is true that there are some "bad thoughts" that men have and are human.

It's not completely unfeminine.

When they got along with each other before, the occasional misdirection in his eyes fluttered on her chest, which also illustrated this.

But that day in the main hall of Donglin Temple, why did the senior brother refuse ruthlessly.

Obviously, as long as you coax the woman a little, you can get it at your fingertips, eat it and wipe it clean, but the senior brother is still ......

Is this a big husband who is not serious about small things and very serious about big things, and he has decided to devote himself to the Tao and never marry for life, so he will be unswerving, even if it is a person's great desire to trouble his heart, he will not touch the line.

Xie Ling Jiang thought about it, and could only come to this relatively reasonable and only conclusion.

The elder brother is really a gentleman, and he has the legacy of the ancient gentleman.

A woman holds hot tea in her hand, her fingers are scalding, and she is silent.

It's just that the senior brother should like her a little...... Otherwise, why do you like to role-play the brother and sister in the bed, and why do you call her name in your dreams?

It is said that there are thoughts and dreams every day, and there are dreams at night, which is nothing more than this.

Xie Lingjiang's long eyelashes, which lowered his head and sipped the rim of the cup, trembled, as if he was blown by the hot air rising from the teacup.

It's just that in the face of such a righteous and gentlemanly brother, she doesn't know whether to be happy or annoyed.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly put down the teacup, put it aside, and smiled: "Let's get down to business, senior brother." ”

"Yes, yes, business."

Ouyang Rong nodded, very welcome, and asked with a smile:

"Senior sister, this is from the bureaucracy? What happened to the Jade Fairy? ”

"Senior brother smelled the medicine on my body?"

Xie Lingjiang nodded, sighed and said:

"The situation is not optimistic, I have searched all the famous doctors in Jiangzhou, whether it is the underworld or the white road, I have tried it, but I still can't solve this poison.

"You can only seal the meridians of the Jade Maiden Fairy to prevent the toxin from attacking the heart, but this is only an expedient measure."

Ouyang Rong nodded, and his face became more serious:

"I have to think of another way to save her, now it seems that this should be the only witness who can identify all the conspiracies of the Liu family, and the other witnesses, if they are not as involved as the craftsmen of the sword shop, they are only ignorant accomplices, or they are not killed like Yuan Changyi.

"Liu Ziwen, Liu Ziwen, he is not literate at all, but in the end, he was smart but was mistaken by cleverness and became an abandoned son of others."

Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, who does you think is the one who instructed the dead man to kill Liu Ziwen?" ”

Ouyang Rong glanced at her and shook his head slightly without saying a word.

Xie Lingjiang didn't ask any more questions, and said directly:

"But these days, junior sister, I haven't found nothing, although I can't solve the strange poison on the jade fairy for the time being, but I have found the clue of this strange poison, it may be a strange poison that has been circulated in the rivers and lakes for a long time."

"Oh?" Ouyang Rong tilted his ears.

Xie Lingjiang put a handkerchief in his palm, and took out two small porcelain vases from his sleeve that were familiar to Ouyang Rong, one wrapped in green cloth and the other wrapped in red cloth.

She gestured to the two bottles in her palm and said:

"I found a Taoist doctor who is good at poison in Jiangzhou City, studied this thing, and found that it is a rare one yin, one yang and two poisons, this strange poison will never be nameless in the rivers and lakes.

"Combined with toxicology, I asked someone to inquire, and it is not surprising that this poison should be named a winged bird."

"Winged birds?"

Ouyang Rong's face was curious, and he reached out to take a porcelain bottle to check it, but was stopped by Xie Lingjiang.

"Senior brother, be careful, this yin and yang poison cannot be contaminated with ...... at the same time"

Xie Lingjiang patiently explained, and also came along with the poisoning methods of the winged bird.

Fall.

Ouyang Rong's face was a little calm, and he nodded:

"That's all right, no wonder Liu Ziwen had no fear in the public court that day, it turned out that he had already unknowingly poisoned the jade fairy, and when it was time to extinguish it, he only needed to use this harmless yang bottle."

Xie Ling Jiang bowed his head and added:

"Not only that, didn't Senior Brother say last time that Liu Ziwen mistakenly took you for a jade fairy at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, so he gave you the poison of the Yin Bottle......

"This is to let the Jade Fairy poison me at the luncheon, so that when the ribbon is cut in the inner gate, you can use the Yang Bottle to scatter incense and deal with me, so that the Jade Fairy disguised as you can start smoothly and assassinate Lord Shen.

"This scheme is poisonous enough, but fortunately it was discovered by the senior brother......"

Xie Ling Jiang had palpitations in his heart, mainly because this yin poison was colorless and tasteless, and when used alone, it was imperceptible to toxicity, and it was many times more dangerous than the cartilage scattered by the Jade Maiden at that time

Because at the luncheon before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, although she suspected the Jade Fairy, in order to win trust, she was likely to accidentally fall into this seemingly harmless poison, so later, it was really unimaginable, and she would end up with the Jade Fairy who fainted at this time......

"Liu Ziwen's crime is extremely heinous, all the brothers of the Liu family have been killed, and none of them are innocent!"

Xie Ling Jiang Yin's teeth were crushed, even if she didn't care about the bronze mask in her sleeve for the time being, but this poisonous malice alone was enough for her to raid the Liu family a hundred times.

Ouyang Rong suddenly said: "Wait, no." ”

"What's wrong?" Xie Lingjiang was stunned for a moment, and asked with loose teeth.

Ouyang Rong looked into her eyes and said calmly:

"Since the Jade Lady Fairy was poisoned by Liu Ziwen in advance and is ready to be extinguished at any time, then at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, in case Liu Ziwen's conspiracy succeeds and really poisons you, then once he uses the bottle of yang poison to scatter incense when the ribbon is cut in the inner gate, won't he even poison the Jade Fairy together?

"After all, you and she are both present, so who will assassinate Lord Shen in the end? Wouldn't it be stupid to do that? ”

"Hey, it seems that this is true, and the senior brother means ......"

Ouyang Rong nodded calmly:

"At the ribbon-cutting luncheon, Liu Ziwen not only gave the green bottle containing yin poison to me, who was pretending to be a jade fairy, but also fed me the antidote unknowingly when I was eating, so this is the antidote to the winged bird...... It should be in my body. ”

Xie Ling Jiang was quiet.
