Chapter 148 Huh Eldest Brother Wouldn’t Be So Kind To Me
A sudden change occurred at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Everyone inside and outside the inner gate was shocked.

Even the female fairy Yuxi, her voice changed, and she screamed:
“You, you’ve been here all the way! Lie to me, you didn’t drink that glass of wine!”

Xie Lingjiang’s right hand grasping the wrist of Fairy Yujin trembled a little, as if it was clenched too hard.

With her other hand, she silently took out a wet light pink handkerchief from her red sleeve and threw it at her feet.

The wet handkerchief faintly smelled of alcohol.

Xie Lingjiang’s eyes were cold, and he stared intently at Fairy Yuji:

“You’re not a big brother, big brother, you wouldn’t treat me so well.”

Ouyang Rong, who was looking cautious and held the saber in his hand: “…”

The corner of his mouth twitched.

Little Junior Sister’s resentful words…

However, now is not the time to worry about these things.

Ouyang Rong took a step forward, raised his eyebrows coldly:

“Take it!”

“Not yet!” Xie Ling Jiang Feng looked at the very familiar face in front of him, and shouted angrily.

In front of the main lock room, with her as the center, it is like a stone thrown in the middle of the lake, and the waves spread towards the four circles.

Immortal Yucheng, Ouyang Rong, Shen Xisheng and others had their sleeves fluttering in their clothes.

Especially the female fairy Yucheng who was grabbed by Xie Lingjiang’s wrist, screamed in pain, and completely changed back to a hoarse female voice.

Everyone in the audience stared at the space around this “Ouyang Lianghan” who wanted to kill Shen Xisheng violently before, as if being swept by the heat wave of the flames, his figure twisted, and immediately faded into a black man wearing a beast face. robed priestess.

The archetype is manifested in the aura tremors.

Amidst the screams, the black-robed priestess’s body cracked and her bones exploded, and the right hand captured by Xie Lingjiang was withdrawn from Xie Lingjiang’s hand like a boneless loach.

Only a broken sleeve of the black robe was left in the latter’s hand.

Her black shadow flashed and jumped into the air like a black sentry arrow.

This scene of escaping was very similar to the night when the East Treasury burned the tent that day.

However, this time, Xie Lingjiang was not surprised at all, and even expected it.

“Where is the demon running away!”

Accompanied by a figure soaring into the sky like a black sentry arrow, there is a figure as red as a fireball following behind him like a shadow.

In one breath, the latter came from behind and caught up with the former.

Two figures, one black and one red, collided in the air.

Thirty feet above Digong Gate, there is a momentary mixture of black and red.

Before everyone in the audience looked up, they could see it clearly.

From above, the terrified voice of the Yuxi female fairy resounded through the audience:

“Book flipper! You really are seventh grade!”

Then came a cold snort.

air.

The black and red mixed figure exploded completely.

Xie Ling Jiang Hong’s clothes are like fire, and the hem of her clothes is hunting wildly.

The figure is like a ball of dancing flames in the air, hanging high in the air in place.

Waves of crimson aura tides all over her body, together with the red clothes on her body, enveloped her like tongues of fire.

However, the figure of the black-robed priestess, like the sparks of wood that burst out of a bonfire in the middle of the night, bounced some distance away and fell obliquely.

Sharp-eyed spectators on the field immediately saw that the flaming figure standing side by side with the scorching sun above his head had a bronze mask in his hand at some point.

Xie Lingjiang flipped her hands, put the bronze mask in her sleeve, and discarded the other broken sleeve of the black robe.

Immediately without hesitation, the stagnant figure in the air rushed towards the falling figure of the black-robed priestess like an off-string rocket.

He never stopped, chasing after him relentlessly.

However, at this moment, the falling black-robed figure unexpectedly turned an angle of nearly ninety degrees in the air, changing the landing point.

The female fairy Yucheng jumped into the drain hole next to the main lock chamber.

Another red dress followed with the sound of piercing the sky, and she chased into the drain hole like a flaming meteorite passing through the atmosphere.

The two girls fought back and forth several times, making everyone in the audience dizzy.

But at this moment, before everyone had time to react, another change came.

There were two loud bangs of “bang” and “bang”.

Suddenly, two shocking water splashes exploded in the drainage hole.

Like a fish jumping ashore.

Fairy Yucheng flew out backwards, but this time she was completely wet and wrapped in net ropes.

The net rope on her body was broken a lot, but most of it was still hanging on her body, and she was extremely embarrassed.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Xie Lingjiang came back standing up, while she came back lying down.

In front of everyone in the audience, Xie Lingjiang had a cold face and carried the dying female fairy Yuji.

Just like throwing a ball of garbage casually, she threw the Yucheng female fairy on the ground casually.

Xie Lingjiang stepped on her, bent down, and sealed her dantian acupoint.

Totally subdued.

Xie Lingjiang pursed his lips, and said word by word to the priestess coughing up blood on the ground:

“Don’t worry, today’s matter is not so easy to forget with you. You will know that death is sometimes a relief.”

Fairy Yucheng covered her mouth and coughed up blood: “You…you…”

The fighting between the Qi trainers and Xie Lingjiang’s thunderous suppression made everyone on the field shudder.

Ouyang Rong shook his head, leaped over the fairy Yuji on the ground, strode forward with his head held high.

“I’m the county magistrate of Longcheng, Ouyang Lianghan, and I’ll replace it as it is.”

He faced the audience, and said solemnly:

“You all saw it just now. Today, this daring monster pretends to be his official, and intends to attack and kill Mr. Shen, the supervisor. It’s really outrageous!”

Ouyang Rong turned his head and said to Shen Xisheng and Wang Lengran:
“The two lords were shocked today. They came from a long way. It’s because the officials didn’t receive them well. When this kind of trouble happened, the officials should be punished for their negligence. But right now, the officials have something important to report, which is related to Longcheng County. As for the safety of most of the people in Jiangzhou, I hope that the two adults will be more sympathetic.”

Shen Xisheng straightened his official hat again, and turned his head to look at the fairy Yujin who was held by Xie Lingjiang not far away.

The look of fear on his face disappeared, and he returned to normal. He nodded solemnly:

“Magistrate Ouyang County, please tell me, if this matter is really as serious as you said, it is naturally the top priority! Master Wang, what do you think?”

Shen Xisheng suddenly turned his head and asked.

The muscles on Wang Lengran’s face seemed a little stiff, he squeezed out a smile, nodded to the inspector and Longcheng county magistrate who were looking at him together:

“Master Shen is right. The magistrate of Ouyang County can just say it directly. If justice is up to you, I and Master Shen will fully support it.”

Ouyang Rong nodded, “Thank you two adults.”

He suddenly pointed his finger at the black-robed priestess who was coughing on the ground, and said forcefully to all the guests and people in the audience:
“I want to sue the Liu family of Longcheng, as well as the chief criminal, Liu Ziwen!”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was silent, and most of the guests cast their eyes on certain figures in the first row of the crowd. Liu Ziwen’s body swayed without wind; Lin hurriedly looked around.

Ouyang Rong couldn’t stop talking, and his voice resounded throughout the audience: “The Liu family has not only harmed Longcheng for many years, but also annexed fertile land with the help of floods every year, full of evil!
“Today, this demon assassin was sent to pretend to be an official of the imperial court to assassinate the supervisor. This demon assassin came from Xiaogushan Dragon King Temple, which is wholly owned by the Liu family. He is the priest of this temple and has been supported by the Liu family for many years!

“In addition to this, there is the most important thing, which is also related to the safety of thousands of people.”

Ouyang Rong paused, then suddenly turned his head and said to Liu Ashan who was rushing over:
“You take someone to control the main lock room first, don’t let some people destroy the evidence at the scene, and then move the things out for everyone to see.”

“Yes, my lord!”

Liu Ashan led people into the main lock room behind Ouyang Rong and the others, and then moved out one after another the fully loaded wooden barrels from the main lock room and placed them under the sun.

Ouyang Rong turned his head, continued to face the curious eyes of the audience, pointed to the main lock room, and said righteously:

“Instigated by the Liu family behind the scenes, the priests of the Dragon King Temple, together with the craftsmen of the sword shop who repaired the gates, smuggled these flammable and explosive oils into the main gate chamber with the help of the gate cleansing ceremony before the completion…

“The Liu family is attempting to plot against the newly built Di Gong Gate! There are all witnesses and material evidence for this matter!

“The Liu family is so proficient in this matter, it’s hard not to doubt it, it’s not once or twice.

“My official infers reasonably that since the first Digong gate was built, the Liu family has been responsible for the collapse of the Digong gate every four years! In Longcheng County, there have been floods for more than ten years, and many families have lost their homes. , not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster of the Liu family!
“The crime is heinous, the crime is heinous, if you don’t kill it, it won’t be enough for the common people to hate!

“My lord Shen, my lord Wang, I request a public trial of the Liu family!”

Ouyang Rong’s words sounded like gold and stone falling to the ground.

It was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky that exploded in the hearts of the common people, gentry from the countryside, and wealthy family members who came to watch the ceremony today.

It immediately became the fuse that ignited the audience.

“Whoa-“

“Huh—”

The crowd watching the ceremony completely exploded.

Countless shocked, angry, and silent gazes fell on the three brothers Liu Ziwen, Liu Zian, and Liu Zilin standing in the first row of the crowd.

“False accusation…it’s all false accusation!” Liu Zilin yelled at the crowd on the left and right to defend himself.

However, his voice was overwhelmed by the roaring sound waves and drowned out by angry and suspicious eyes. Liu Zilin trembled all over and stammered.

“Come here, take the Liu family brothers down first!”

Shen Xisheng frowned, and shouted vigorously.

Instead, he took the lead and charged towards the main lock room. Wang Lengran remained silent and followed with his lips pursed.

And the audience at the rear couldn’t hold it anymore, they rushed forward like a tide!
Liu Ziwen and Liu Zian were like two nails, being hammered by someone fiercely, at this moment, their feet were firmly nailed in place, unable to move.

Liu Zilin’s eyes were full of horror, he swallowed, and looked at the two brothers as if asking for help, “Elder brother and second brother, let’s… what shall we do!”

However, no one answered him. All I saw was the two elder brothers who were calm and calm in the past and calm when things happened.

At this moment, his face was very pale and ugly.

In the lively and lively audience, among the angry and noisy crowd, Ouyang Rong looked normal, with his sleeves covered, walked forward with Xie Lingjiang and others, leisurely passing by the three detained Liu family brothers.

When passing by Liu Ziwen and the other three, he seemed to remember something.

The young county magistrate calmly grabbed a handful of leftover melon seeds from his sleeve, licked his mouth lightly, and spread his hands with a smile, handed some to Xie Lingjiang, and took him away to eat melon seeds.

Seeing Ouyang Rong’s familiar scene of cracking melon seeds, the three Liu Ziwen brothers seemed to remember something.

Liu Ziwen’s dead fish eyes stared at the back of Ouyang Rong who was eating melon seeds, and his breathing suddenly became thicker. His stiff body was on the verge of falling, but fortunately he was supported by Liu Zian and Liu Zilin beside him, so he didn’t fall down.

“Brother! What’s wrong with you…”

“No…it’s okay, I’m fine…”

The corners of the eyes of the Young Patriarch of the Liu family, who was about to face the crime of copying the house, twitched violently, and then his eyes went dark.

……

The ribbon-cutting ceremony in the afternoon ended temporarily in a chaotic but orderly mess.

The sun was setting, and the disputes of the day seemed to end like a red sun dragging our tired bodies.

However, what happened at the ribbon-cutting ceremony: the assassin pretended to be the county magistrate to assassinate the inspector, the floods over the years turned out to be human disasters, the young county magistrate exposed the heinous crimes of the Liu family, and so on.

However, with the return of the guests and common people who watched the ceremony one after another, it spread wildly inside and outside Longcheng County and fermented.

The coming night only temporarily covered the boiling public opinion and waves, and no one knew how big the storm would be on the second day.

The sun was setting, on an official road leading to Longcheng County.

There is a heavily guarded convoy.

In one of the carriages in the middle, there was a pair of brothers and sisters sitting opposite each other, silent.

It was a little dark inside the carriage.

Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang had never been alone in the carriage before.

However, in the past, it was quite relaxed and at ease, and the atmosphere has never been as silent as it is now.

This has been the case since he just boarded the carriage at the Digong gate and set off.

It stands to reason that they don’t need to ride in the same carriage.

Ouyang Rong can accompany Shen Xisheng, Wang Lengran and other superiors.

However, when Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang boarded the car, they entered into the same compartment tacitly, and Liu Ashan and other people also retreated tacitly without interrupting.

Ouyang Rong doesn’t like this kind of tacit understanding, but sometimes he is very grateful for this kind of tacit understanding, at least it can save a lot of embarrassing things.

Dim compartment.

long silence.

Ouyang Rong raised his hand suddenly, Xie Lingjiang trembled.

However, Ouyang Rong just stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage, and did not do anything else.

But the tender body of a certain woman in red clothes seemed to be still tense.

In fact, ever since she accompanied someone out of the Di Gong gate and boarded the carriage, she has been suppressing, suppressing the urge to throw herself into the arms of the man in front of her.

She has been rational for so long this afternoon, no matter how much she endures, no matter how much she endures…

Xie Lingjiang looked at Ouyang Rong without squinting.

Ouyang Rong didn’t know what the woman was thinking.

At this moment, he opened his mouth to speak: “Little Junior Sister…”

Xie Lingjiang spoke first, raised his head and asked:

“Brother, how did you come to Digongzha from Dagu Mountain in the afternoon? We took the fastest water route for such a long distance. How did you catch up so quickly?”

It was this damn tacit understanding again, someone fell silent, and couldn’t help but glance at the little junior sister who seemed to be acting as if nothing had happened.

Ouyang Rong didn’t speak, but turned to look out the east window.

Xie Lingjiang showed some curiosity, and followed Ouyang Rong’s line of sight to look out.

At this moment, the convoy happened to pass by the edge of a dense forest. Outside the sparse forest, a newly built canal could be seen.

Xie Lingjiang naturally knew Zheyi, but it was different from every time she passed by this canal in the past few days.

Right now, under the setting sun, the straight channel of the Zheyi Canal is filled with pieces of golden waves—water dyed like gold.

Xie Lingjiang looked around, and the scene was reflected in her eyes, she was stunned, and felt that the scene was a bit beautiful for a while.

This is the result of the senior brother’s struggle with her these days… Xie Lingjiang’s previous melancholy mood has improved a little bit.

“Brother, didn’t Zheyi Canal stop after the completion of the first phase, why…”

Seeing Ouyang Rong’s bright eyes, Xie Lingjiang stopped talking and didn’t say any more, everything was kept silent.

Obviously, if you take the normal old Diexi River, that is, the waterway that Xie Lingjiang and the fairy Yucheng took after picking them up in the afternoon, you will have to bypass Longcheng County, which will add a lot of distance.

The Zheyi Canal is an almost straight channel. If you start from Songlindu and take the Zheyi Canal to the Yedu Wharf at the other end, you can directly save more than half of the redundant waterway.

As for the thick wall used to block the water at Songlin Ferry, Xie Lingjiang remembered that when he accompanied his elder brother to inspect it last time, he heard from the chief official Cao that it could be opened at any time…

Ouyang Rong suddenly asked: “What about the little junior sister, when did you find the fake senior brother?”

Xie Lingjiang bit her lower lip, stared at Ouyang Rong’s face for a long time, and slowly lowered her eyes.

The mottled golden light outside the car window shone on her pretty profile, and Ouyang Rong found that the little junior sister’s eyes fell on the skirt knife in his hand…
