The foot of the Great Lonely Mountain.

"Lord Diao, Miss Aqing, what's wrong with Mingfu? I don't seem to be very happy......"

Yan Liulang, who was originally busy with his feet not touching the ground, stopped in place, looked at the silent figure not far away, turned around, and asked in a low voice.

It's just that the return team he greeted with a strange and solemn atmosphere, and no one answered him.

Diao Xiancheng, A Qing and others silently followed Ouyang Rong's footsteps.

Yan Liulang and the group of blue-clothed people caught fast, and couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

I remember that just now, they were busy evacuating the people, and suddenly found that Ouyang Rong had returned to the foot of the mountain without saying a word.

The young magistrate passed by them indifferently and walked towards the square at the foot of the mountain without looking back.

At the foot of Dagu Mountain, there is a square for guests to rest, in the past, the temple fair and holidays can sell some temple supplies or Dragon City specialties, in the position close to the center, there is a huge stone carved with the four characters of "clear mind", which is the highest point on the square.

I saw that Ouyang Rong, who was walking with a sword, didn't say a word, and went straight to the top of the stone, condescending.

This strange behavior immediately aroused the sideways eyes of the people who had taken refuge in the square.

And what made Yan Liulang and the others even more stunned was that his eyes lowered and ordered:

"Liulang, go and call all the fathers and villagers, all the people who can shout, this official has something to say."

"Ah...... Yes, Mingfu. ”

Ouyang Rong lowered his head slightly, took a deep breath, and suddenly called out to Yan Liulang and asked:

"Wait, where is the Jade Maiden?"

"The lowly brought her here from the bureaucracy."

Yan Liulang replied, and when he saw Ouyang Rong was silent, he turned around and left with an order.

In a short time, the people who had originally gathered from all over Longcheng County gathered in the square at the foot of the mountain when they heard the summons of the county order.

Underneath the boulders, the crowd gathered.

On the boulder, Ouyang Rong stood tall, and while waiting, he raised his head and glanced at the round of the great sun that was about to rise to the middle heaven above his head.

The sun's rays fell on the bloodshot eyes, as if they were refracting a variety of colors.

Ouyang Rong was dazzled for a while, and his eyes were slightly narrowed by the sun.

His face was in a daze.

Obviously, at this moment, countless people below were waiting for him to speak.

Ouyang Rong, who was in a daze, suddenly remembered that when he took office, he was also by the waterside bridge, giving a speech in front of the county's fathers and villagers.

The sun was also shining brightly that day.

And he fell into the river and drowned, he was rescued by a very strange man at the time, held by the latter, surfaced, between his mouth and nose in the water, choking and suffocating, the hot sunlight above his head, refracted from the water droplets that wet his eyes, is also so colorful.

Now, Ouyang Rong is once again standing in front of the thousands of fathers and villagers in Longcheng County, but where is Liu Ashan at the moment? Now, it's his turn to save people.

In the square below, all the people who have taken refuge in Longcheng County gather on the inside and outside three floors.

Everyone who came here was attracted by the figure of the young county commander standing strangely on the boulder at this moment.

Ouyang Rong suddenly drew his sword.

Zheng ——!

A crisp sword roar rang out.

The crowd in the square, which had been a little noisy, suddenly fell silent.

Ouyang Rong was holding the sword in his hand, the blade of the sword was facing inward, and the vertical sword was placed between his eyes.

"Today, I will call my fathers and fellow villagers over, and I want to apologize in public."

He said.

Everyone was stunned.

The clan elder with white hair and beard trembled and walked out: "Lord Mingfu is impartial and selfless, with a clean breeze on his sleeves, what is the crime?" ”

Ouyang Rong didn't squint, stared at the sword blade in front of him, and shook his head:

"No, this officer, there are three sins to be thanked."

He took off his official hat,

Throw your feet.

"The first sin, dereliction of duty.

"At the moment of great calamity, he was lax and lazy in his position, but he could not do his own government, and he almost caused a big trouble because of personal affairs and unauthorized resignation.

"This is a dereliction of duty!"

After speaking, Ouyang Rong tore off his crown in public, lowered his head and grabbed his long black hair, and cut his sword.

The audience was in an uproar.

Parents who have suffered from the skin of the body shall not be damaged, and it is unfilial piety if it is destroyed.

This is a very serious and solemn matter for a well-known scholar.

"Cut his hair to apologize for his crimes."

A stubble of long, thick black hair slowly scattered at his feet.

Ouyang Rong's short hair was scattered, and his bangs covered his eyes, but he couldn't take his eyes off it, staring at the sword blade in front of him, and continued to say word by word:

"The second sin, the sin of negligence.

"In Xia Bucai, he is deeply trusted by the people of Longcheng and supported by his colleagues in the county government, and he should have completely governed the bully Liu family for one term.

But he was arrogant and contemptuous, and let these rats lurk and parasitize, brewing a shocking conspiracy under their noses, threatening the safety of the people in the city.

"If today, the conspiracy of the filthy Liu family succeeds, as a county parent official, it will be difficult to escape the blame for death.

"This is the sin of negligence and negligence!"

This time, the audience was silent.

Ouyang Rong tore off his belt, dragged off the precious and gorgeous aqua green official uniform on his body with one hand, he stabbed the official uniform with a long sword in a muffled voice, and finally slashed it into a ragged piece and threw it on the ground.

"Forgive me for taking a robe as a substitute! My life is temporary, and I still have to use it today to do the last thing for me, for Liu Ashan's family, and for the fathers and villagers of Longcheng. ”

His eyes were as silent as a peaceful lake, and he nodded.

This is also the last sin to be given...... Abuse of power and abuse of power for personal gain.

"As the order of the dragon city, when the sluice gate is about to pour and the flood is about to come, it should be here to maintain order and settle the people.

"But today, my brother Pao Ze was captured by the Liu family, and I couldn't help it; The Liu brothers are planning a monstrous conspiracy again, which is imminent.

"In private and public, in sentiment and reason, I Ouyang Lianghan must make this trip, even if there are few people in the county and I have few enemies, I am laughed at and said that I can't do anything, but although there are thousands of enemies, I will also go!

"This is a crime of dereliction of duty."

Ouyang Rong counted loudly, and after the three sins were listed, he directly put the sword into the sheath.

He turned his head and ordered Yan Liulang and the others to gather the few remaining officers and soldiers, and before leaving, he hugged his fists in public for the last time, and his face was apologetic:

"Bearing three sins, Lianghan has nothing to return, I implore my father and fellow villagers to forgive Lianghan for the time being, and allow this meager life to be left for this trip to the Liu family."

He restrained his expression and said with a straight face:

"Today the good man will be able to apologize! or to cure the thief, or to ...... Fight with my life, and my heart is at peace. ”

The audience was silent.

Ouyang Rong turned over and jumped off the boulder, told Diao County Cheng to stay, and ordered Yan Liulang to gather the remaining officers and soldiers to capture quickly.

He led the remaining dozen or so officers and soldiers to rush out of the square.

Looking at the resolute back in front of him, Yan Liulang wanted to speak and stopped.

Diao Xiancheng was also full of anxiety, rubbing his waist all the way, trotting over to block him, and what he said before was in vain?

Just halfway through, after Diao Xiancheng was kicked into the air, Ouyang Rong was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned his horse's head and returned to Dagu Mountain...... Lao Xiancheng thought that he was persuaded by him and went downhill with the donkey.

After coming back together to apologize, this Lord Mingfu was going to charge and die again, and he didn't listen to it at all? Hey, wasn't he kicked for nothing?

Diao County's old face darkened.

In front of everyone's eyes, the young county commander was going to die alone, and the crowd of people in the square spontaneously rushed to the front, reluctant to stay.

And in the crowd, several clan sages took the lead and tried to stop Ouyang Rong.

Some villagers looked at the young county magistrate with a dead will on his face, and asked carefully:

"Why do you need to say this, your merits are obvious to everyone, speaking of which, everyone is also puzzled, then the Liu family has not received the punishment of the separation, what did they do, and what crimes did they do, so that Lord Mingfu blamed himself so much, and even said that he was burdened with three crimes?"

After a pause, the old man with gray hair also frowned and said:

"Lord Mingfu, I heard from the person who just came back from the Broken Wing Canal that the Liu family brothers accused you in public, saying that you angered the dragon king under the water, which is why there have been several upstream surges, and they also said that you ......"

The young county commander suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said with a serious face:

"Ladies and gentlemen, not only has there never been a savior in this world, but there is also no dragon king and immortal, if there is, it is also malicious and man-made.

"Haven't you seen that the Liu family has always tried to be the dragon king of this dragon city, and wants to press on the heads of the fathers and villagers forever and be a blessing."

Most of the people of Longcheng led by the clan elders hesitated and looked at each other.

"It is not difficult to overturn the mountain in reality, but it is difficult to overturn the mountain in the heart."

Ouyang Rong pursed his lips, was silent for a moment, and turned his head towards Yan Liulang and ordered:

"Go and bring the Jade Maiden up."

Yan Liulang was stunned for a moment, reacted to something, and glanced at Mingfu's calm expression.

The blue-clothed catcher immediately led the people away, and soon returned, escorting a haggard and frail chubby priestess with him.

The Jade Maiden may have been sealed by Xie Lingjiang to seal the meridian acupuncture points, or it may be that the injury of being regurgitated and vomiting blood last time has not healed.

Her face was pale and bloodless, her gait was staggering, and her shackles rattled.

But who would have thought that after this priestess with a weak breath was escorted up, as soon as she saw Ouyang Rong, who had short hair and was only wearing a white undershirt, her eyes suddenly widened, and her pupils shrank sharply:

"Demons! Demons who have risen from the dead! You're not the original sacrifice, you're a demon that was unleashed! Ahhhhh......h

It was as if she had seen the most terrible thing in the world, and she turned her head like crazy to escape.

"Hmph, it's the same as pretending to be asleep, pretending to be crazy and stupid?" Yan Liulang frowned.

He stepped forward quickly, slapped his knees, and the jade fairy covered her abdomen, like a shrimp bow, and was carried by Yan Liulang in front of Ouyang Rong and knelt down honestly.

"Don't eat me, don't eat me......" The jade fairy hugged her head and kowtowed, not daring to look at Ouyang Rong, her hair was scattered, and she muttered in her mouth.

Ouyang Rong frowned slightly, but he didn't care too much about these crazy words at the moment.

After hesitating, he closed his eyes and said:

"Liulang, while the father and the villagers are here, the case of the ribbon-cutting ceremony instructed by the Liu family, as well as the reasons for the destruction of the Di Gonggong Gate in the past, are all explained, so that everyone who is still in the dark can hear who is the 'Dragon King'."

"Mingfu, what does this mean...... "The sages of the clan were stunned and curious.

Ouyang Rong nodded and motioned for them to listen.

Yan Liulang was awe-inspiring, stepped forward, and took out the files of the investigation of the case these days, supplemented by the physical evidence such as the Burning Sky Shark Oil and the Jade Maiden......

Finally, under the sun, the truths that have been hidden all along are revealed one by one and begin to be placed in front of everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the collapse of the Di Gong Gate every four years is actually done by the Liu family of Longcheng in secret!"

The first sentence made the audience roar.

Yan Liulang continued to speak aloud:

"In the past ten years, every time a major flood has caused the villagers to be ruined, it is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.

"The Liu family took advantage of the convenience of the sword shop craftsmen to repair the gate, and every time the strange oil that exploded was loaded into the main gate chamber...... See, this is the oil, which the priestess in the field provides......

"When the water is rising, the Liu family will take the opportunity to detonate the strange oil and blow up the sluice.

"When the flood ravages downstream, the Liu family, which has long been prepared, will set up a porridge shed and a nursery hall, annex fertile land, and take the opportunity to make a fortune in the disaster year!

"Then I pretended to cooperate with the county government to repair the gate again, bury mines again, prepare for the next four years, and the cycle repeats, the Liu family is so strong!"

The crowd seemed to be shocked, and in the silence of the field, Yan Liulang became more and more angry the more he spoke, gritting his teeth and sneering:

"A good dragon king Liu family, a good "willow" word, born with water, drawing water to grow, drawing all the people's fat and people's ointment, hard work and sweat of the old folks!

"Everyone sold their fields and sold their boys, and as a result, they raised a willow that covered the sky, and wanted to be the dragon king and be a blessing! Today, I dare to have another drama of flooding Dragon City! ”

The jade fairy and other witnesses appeared one by one.

The truth is revealed.

The audience was in an uproar!

It turned out that the main culprit who broke their family and separated their wives was not a natural disaster, but the former great good Liu family!

Before, everyone didn't know that the three brothers of the Liu family were bullies and heroes, but they only regarded it as their ancestors, who were fighting for fortune and accumulating wealth for generations, and they didn't have much resentment.

But I didn't expect that I was secretly doing this kind of angry and resentful emasculation!

The sages of the clan stomped their feet and threw their sticks, scolding; The people and villagers gritted their teeth and were filled with righteous indignation.

In an instant, the sound of grief and anger on the field shook the sky.

The people rushed forward one after another, grabbing sticks and sticks, and pulling the clothes of the young county magistrate.

Youbu Yiqian was sad and indignant: "Lord Mingfu, go fight with them!" ”

The Quartet responded with great momentum.

Ouyang Rong was stunned.

I looked left and right.

The sound of blood and anger came from all directions.

He closed his eyes slightly, tilted his face and took a deep breath.

I felt that something indescribable seemed to gush out of my chest.

This is the voice that makes him hesitate to leave, wander around in the Pure Land Palace, and linger on his mind.

It is also what he has been looking for since he took office, but he can't find something that can burn all the filth and sweep away all the paper tigers:

It is the fierce blood in the blood of Wu Yue's children.

It is the wrath of the princes and generals.

It is the power of the people!

"Who said there was nothing, who said that he was empty-handed, who said that he couldn't do anything?"

Ouyang Rong suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to Diao Xiancheng, who was shocked, and whispered:

"The hearts of the people are available!

"What if we are outnumbered? The rabble.

"What about the power of mythology? This mortal wrath is the true myth of this world! ”

Ouyang Rong's short hair fluttered, his plain clothes climbed high, and he raised his arms and exhaled:

"Everyone, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, women, children, old and young, stay, men over six feet, follow me, today's monarchs, unite as one, the Liu family will die!"

The angry people, under the guidance and organization of Ouyang Rong and others, quickly gathered.

Ten people, hundreds, thousands of people.

Immediately, Ouyang Rong quickly made a dispatch and turned his head and ordered:

"Yan Liulang, organize the young people who volunteered and assign them into teams...... Once ready, let's head to Songlindu immediately! ”

"Diao Xiancheng, send you to Songlindu quickly, mobilize the official ships first, wait for the large army to come, and ......

"Take out all the burning shark oil that was stored in the cabin before, put it into a bamboo tube, wait for everyone to board the ship, and distribute the ...... one by one."

"Remember, the targets we are going to destroy today are the Guyue Sword Shop on the west bank of Butterfly Creek, the Liu family's mansion in Xiaogushan, and ...... A suspicious sword furnace.

"Let's go, let's go and clean up the scourge of Dragon City together!"

The young county commander held his sword and nodded.

Well, give them a little crowd shock.
