One hundred and ninety-six, Lingtai Lang
"Ouyang Changshi likes to eat this breakfast?"
"Old acquaintance."
"Do old regulars come to eat often?"
"Almost."
Ouyang Rong actually wanted to say that Rong Zhen often bought this family's oil and hemp cakes, but he didn't come often.
However, in front of this newcomer Xia Guan Lingtailang, of course he can't say that.
Lin Cheng put down the bowl.
"Does Ouyang Changshi often come to the Supervision Institute to find Rong Zhennushi?"
Ouyang Rong bowed.
"Hmm. In the past, it was because of the case of the butterfly love flower owner, but recently it was the matter of the Donglin Giant Buddha, and I often came. ”
"I see."
Lin Cheng smiled:
"The first time the contemptible person came, Ouyang Changshi's regular guests are not allowed to entertain?"
Ouyang Rong spread his hands: "I didn't bring any silver." ”
After a pause, he sighed again:
"Besides, Brother Lin came from Luoyang, but Qin Cha Teshi, if I pay for a treat, wouldn't it be a bribe for Qin Cha? This can't be helped, hey, Brother Lin, please. ”
At this time, the owner of the breakfast stall brought the spicy soup and oil sesame cakes.
Ouyang Rong took out an empty bowl, poured it with one hand, divided half of it, pushed it in front of Lin Cheng, and spread his hands to taste it.
After Lin Cheng drank the spicy soup and wiped his mouth, he waved his finger and said slowly:
"Zhou Lu discussed Article 21 of the eighth article, and a gift worth less than 100 yuan is not considered a bribe, so it is better for Ouyang Changshi to come and do his best to be a landlord.
"Besides, isn't Ouyang Changshi's carriage right next to it, the contemptible can wait, and wait for Ouyang Changshi to get the silver."
"The coachman's brother is poorer than Zaixia, why are you embarrassed to ask him? Forget it, next time, next time.
"But Brother Lin is quite familiar with the law."
Ouyang Rong said cheekily.
Lin Cheng thought about it, nodded, and made a suggestion:
"Then before the contemptible person leaves, Ouyang Changshi has to invite a meal and come back."
"Brother Lin really doesn't suffer at all."
"Our Yin and Yang family practice qi is to pay attention to a way of balancing yin and yang. Treat yourself to dinner too. ”
"Makes sense. Okay, next time you go, you'll have a treat. ”
The two of you said a word, and they took great pains to finalize the matter of paying for the meal.
"Ouyang Changshi is here to find Rong Zhennushi?"
"Hmm."
"Let's go, it just so happens to be contemptible too."
Lin Cheng got up, paid the money, and walked into the supervision house with Ouyang Rong.
Soon I saw Rong Zhen in the hall.
The girl in cold palace clothes was sitting on a chair, looking down at a piece of paper in her hand.
On the table next to it was a familiar bamboo cane.
Now Rong Zhen's injury is healed, and he hasn't used it for a long time.
Sensing the movement of Ouyang Rong and Lin Cheng's arrival, Rong Zhen folded the letter paper and quickly stuffed it into his sleeve, without saying anything, looking at the two of them.
"Rong Zhennu Shi Chen'an." Lin Cheng said with a smile.
Rong Zhen bowed his head, but his eyes fell on Ouyang Rong, who was wearing a lotus white sachet behind him.
Ouyang Rong opened his mouth and said, "Did Rong Nushi eat, I just ate some breakfast with Brother Lin outside......
Rong Zhen said expressionlessly:
"You can eat it, there is no need to report to the palace, don't talk about this unrelated topic in the morning, this is not a restaurant."
Ouyang Rong suddenly choked.
Originally, I was worried that she would help buy oil hemp cakes again and would not be able to eat them, but now I look at her face and tone...... I guess there's nothing left.
"The letter just now, is there something urgent about Rong Zhennu Shi?"
Lin Cheng asked curiously.
Rong Zhen shook his head: "No, Lin Cheng, let's talk about business." ”
"Okay."
Lin Cheng bowed his head and looked at Ouyang Rong with some hesitation.
However, seeing that Rong Zhen didn't react, he didn't say anything, and said slowly:
"This time, in addition to accompanying Hu Zhong's envoy to Xunyang and inspecting the Donglin Giant Buddha, the prison also gave me a task to assist Rong Zhennu Shi and investigate the matter of the owner of the butterfly love flower that you sent back.
"This is a strange sword-wielder who has never been recorded in the book for more than ten years before, and the Ding sword used is also very strange and novel. The Grand Priest was very interested in this person......"
His expression was straight.
Rong Zhen's head:
"If you think about it, it's very strange for a sword-wielder to act alone."
Ouyang Rong sat aside, drank tea honestly, and listened silently.
"Rong Zhennushi, what does that sword look like?" Lin Cheng took the initiative to ask.
Rong Zhen frowned:
"Like a quarter moon is not a quarter moon, like a scimitar is not a scimitar, more like a sharp arc formed by a thin sword bending, flying in the air, killing people like hemp, taking people's heads like probing bags and taking things......"
As she spoke, she slowly closed her eyes, as if remembering something:
"It is known that the supernatural power he has mastered should be the legendary [Hanshi]'s Ding Sword supernatural power, and he will return.
"At the beginning, the main palace array was also deliberately aimed at this...... But looking at it now, it is very likely that he still has at least one other Ding Sword Divine Power before he can break the formation, and this Ding Sword Divine Power is weird......"
Lin Cheng said thoughtfully:
"Is it a new Ding sword......
Everyone chatted for a while, mainly because of the causes and backs of the accident in the old courtyard.
Lin Cheng also asked Ouyang Rong when he was outside the courtyard at that time and saw the owner of the butterfly love flower for the first time.
Ouyang Rong roughly said it, the same as what he said in front of Rong Zhen at the beginning.
Immediately, Lin Cheng suddenly proposed to go to the ruins of the old courtyard to check.
Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen are indispensable.
The three of them went out, left the supervision institute, and soon came to the original residence of Huang Xuan in Xingzifang.
The old courtyard is now in ruins.
Lin Cheng was the first to enter the hospital.
Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen fell behind, and the two walked side by side.
Ouyang Rong looked at the back of Fang Lin Cheng looking around in front of him, and asked curiously in a low voice:
"Brother Lin seems to be quite interested."
Rong Zhenmu does not squint.
At first, he didn't answer.
Since they met in the morning, Rong Zhen has been ignoring this attitude, as if he is not familiar with Ouyang Rong at all.
At this moment, under Ouyang Rong's gaze, she pursed her mouth:
"This Xia Guan Lingtailang used to be in Luoyang, cooperated with Dali Temple to solve many cases, and was as careful as a hair, and he was one of the most experienced criminal investigation masters in Si Tianjian...... This time, the chief secretary and the deputy supervisor sent him here, which should also mean to assist in the investigation of the case. ”
"Why do you see that Rong Nushi's face is unhappy?"
"You care about this?"
"Nope."
"Then ask less."
"Okay."
After a while, Lin Cheng returned, and Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen interrupted their whispering.
"Lin Cheng, what did you find?" Rong Zhen asked.
"It's been too long, and some traces have dissipated, making it difficult to find." Lin Cheng sighed.
Rong Zhen's face was not too disappointed, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and he didn't have much hope.
"Any other specifics?" Lin Cheng asked again.
She bowed her head slightly, raised her chin and gestured to Ouyang Rong:
"Ouyang Changshi has been assisting this palace, he knows a lot, let him tell you, if you have any problems recently, you can also find him first."
Rong Zhen paused, and then said:
"Lin Cheng, in the past two days, Ouyang Changshi has also accompanied you and Hu Zhongenvoy to inspect the Donglin Giant Buddha, and the palace has something to be busy with."
"Okay."
Ouyang Rong and Lin Cheng didn't ask much about what Rong Zhen had to deal with.
Ouyang Rong glanced at the cuffs of the letter she had put away not long ago.
After a while, Rong Zhen frowned slightly and left, his steps were swift.
Ouyang Rong was not polite, turned his head and led Lin Cheng to visit Xunyang City.
Day 2, morning.
Ouyang Rong solemnly invited Lieutenant Hu to go to Xunyang Grottoes together.
Xunyang Wang Lixian is the Jiangnan Governor who is responsible for the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha, but everyone knows that the person who is fully responsible for this matter is Shi Ouyang Lianghan, the governor of Jiangzhou.
At the moment, of course, the king of Xunyang cannot be allowed to come and personally take Khufu and Lin Cheng to visit the Donglin Giant Buddha.
So the task fell on the shoulders of someone in charge of the statue.
On the first day, the three of them took a group of officials from the Jiangzhou Hall out of the city and went to the tip of Shuangfeng.
Ouyang Rong accompanied the explanation throughout the process.
As Khufu revealed that night, there were only two key people who came to inspect this time.
One is Khufu himself, representing the province of the Inner Chamberlain.
There is another one, that is, Xia Guan Lingtai Lang Lin Cheng, representing Si Tianjian.
After the two inspected and understood the situation, they would return to Luoyang and roughly hand in a copy of the report to explain the results of the inspection......
So the attitude of these two people is quite important.
Right now, Khufu doesn't have to worry too much about it, and the rest is Lin Cheng, the Xia official Lingtai Lang.
This is a smart person, Ouyang Rong has seen it since they first met at the dock.
Smart people also mean that they are not easy to fool.
Therefore, Ouyang Rong chose to treat sincerely, just like when he first mentioned the postponement, he treated Rong Zhen.
He didn't use any treasure bribes or connections to win over him.
Fortunately, after the two days of contact, Lin Cheng's attitude was friendly, and after the first day of breakfast or something, after some testing, the two were quite able to chat.
And just like when he took Rong Zhen to visit and introduce, Ouyang Rong also took Hu Fu and Lin Cheng to visit Xunyang Grottoes and other places.
Hu Fu only followed Ouyang Rong to visit in style on the first day, and then simply made an excuse not to come, as if he had finished his inspection and went back to write a recital.
In front of Lin Cheng, the attitude conveyed was obvious.
It's just that after Khufu finished speaking, Lin Cheng's attitude was still ambiguous, and he looked around along the way, as if he was interested in everything.
In this regard, Ouyang Rong took the trouble to introduce him everywhere, like a tour guide, including various matters related to the construction of Xunyang Grottoes.
During this period, Wang Lengran has not been seen, only Ouyang Rong entertained him, because this is not his responsibility, he does not take the blame.
However, although Wang Lengran, who was the assassin of the history, did not come, but on the afternoon of this day, Ouyang Rong and Lin Cheng, who had just returned to Xunyang City from the tip of the twin peaks, met another person waiting at the gate of the West City Gate.
The prince of Xunyang and Jiangzhou did not leave Fusu.
"Da Lang...... Don't drive adults. ”
At the gate of the city, where the flow of people was like weaving, Ouyang Rong changed his words and bowed respectfully.
Lin Cheng also clasped his fists and saluted:
"I've seen Lord Don't Drive."
Da Lang seemed to have been waiting at the city gate for a long time, stepped down from a carriage, and greeted him with a smile:
"Please, Tan Lang, Lin Lingtai Lang, don't be polite."
Ouyang Rong asked:
"May I ask why don't drive adults here?"
Li Dalang didn't seem to see Ouyang Rong's inquiring eyes.
He turned his head to look at Lin Cheng, who was calm, and said:
"That's the case, I was originally looking for Tan Lang to drink tea, but coincidentally, Lin Lingtai Lang was also there.
"I have admired Lin Lingtailang's name for a long time, but I finally saw it today, and he was really heroic.
"Lin Lingtailang will have anything to do in the evening, what about Tan Lang? There is a nice teahouse nearby, why don't we go and have tea.
"Lin Lingtailang is from Luoyang, can you talk about the scenery of the capital, I have been away for many years, I miss it very much."
Drink tea?
Ouyang Rong and Lin Cheng couldn't help but glance at each other.
Lin Cheng carefully looked at Ouyang Rong's subtle expression, wanting to explore some clues.
It's a pity that Ouyang Rong is also puzzled and frowns at the moment.
Lin Cheng's tone was a little difficult:
"Don't drive your lord, the contemptible people came to Xunyang with a mission this time, I'm afraid this kind of banquet is a little inappropriate, let's talk about it another day, and wait until the inspection is completed......"
"It doesn't matter what you want, and we're not chartering a banquet and wasting it."
Away from Da Lang shook his head:
"A few days ago, Wang Tingshi received a banquet to wash the dust, and Lin Lingtailang and Hu Zhongzhi also went.
"Besides, it's just a good conversation, sitting down and drinking tea in a roadside teahouse, there's nothing to avoid."
Lin Cheng's face hesitated, and he looked at Ouyang Rong and Li Dalang, ready to open his mouth to refuse.
"Ouyang Gongzi."
At this moment, in the carriage behind Da Lang, another familiar woman's voice sounded.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Ying stepped out of the car, wearing a navy blue Zhongnanshan women's crown robe today, and greeted Ouyang Rong generously.
She turned her head to look at Lin Cheng, looked at it, and smiled and said hello.
"Who is this little lady?" Lin Cheng asked curiously.
"Little Lady Qin is the granddaughter of Old General Qin."
Lida Lang introduced with a smile.
"Old General Qin?"
"It's the old general Qin who is serving as the chief of the Jiangnan Road march on the Hongzhou front."
Li Dalang patiently explained, while quietly observing Lin Cheng's expression.
When Lin Cheng heard this, his calm and calm face suddenly became serious, and he saluted Qin Ying again, and praised Qin Jingqin seriously.
The Qin family is currently very hot in the circle of the Liangjing clan.
The old general Qin, who led the troops on the front line, is now the focus of attention of the kings and officials of the imperial court.
In the face of Lin Cheng's abrupt respectful attitude, Qin Ying smiled silently, turned her head and exchanged a few words with Ouyang Rong, showing great familiarity and concern.
Of course, Lin Cheng saw it.
The two nobles came "appropriately", and they didn't know what it meant.
Greeted Da Lang:
"The teahouse called Yunshui Pavilion next to it, the health tea is good, I have already booked a box with Qin Xiaoniang, it is suitable for talking, let's go, let's go have a drink, the two of us have been busy all day."
This time, in the face of the warm invitation of the prince of Xunyang and the granddaughter of the old general Qin, Lin Cheng just looked a little tangled, and nodded.
Li Dalang and Qin Ying quietly glanced at each other, and they both smiled.
Ouyang Rong couldn't listen anymore, grabbed Lidalang, walked to the side, and asked in a low voice:
"What kind of tea do you drink, Da Lang, why did you and Little Lady Qin suddenly come over, and besides, this is my business, don't ...... it"
Lida Lang interrupted:
"Okay, Tanlang, hurry up and go, don't ask."
He gently pushed Ouyang Rong away, greeted everyone with a smile, and walked towards Yunshui Pavilion with Lin Cheng talking and laughing.
Looking at his friend's enthusiastic back, Ouyang Rong didn't know what he and Qin Ying's platform meant.
But some of the words that I wanted to blurt out came to my mouth and swallowed back.
My heart is quite warm.
