Chapter 155
The young magistrate’s words fell, and the whole house fell into a dead silence.

Needle drop is audible.

There were only one or two suddenly rough breathing sounds in the room.

Yan Liulang and other arrests, and the brothers of the Liu clan showed some strange expressions.

Their gazes quietly drifted between Ouyang Rong, who was full of sincerity, and Liu Ziwen, who bowed his head on the bed and was trembling all over.

Many of these quietly observing eyes were cast on Liu Zian, who seemed to be fidgeting a little, lying between Ouyang Rong and Liu Ziwen.

The atmosphere is subtle.

There was a Zhou Dynasty, which was not the rule of law society of Ouyang Rong’s previous life, not to mention that there are still many towns in Jiangnan Province where the clan atmosphere is quite strong, and they adopt the tradition of self-government of the village gentry, and even the kingship does not come down to the county.

Therefore, many local county governments pay attention to the principle of “the people are not promoted, and the officials are not punished”, which is the official principle of most officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, even when the public trial was suspended, Liu Ziwen was attacked by dead soldiers in the street under the eyes of everyone.

But as long as it didn’t happen in the county government or during the public trial, as long as Liu Ziwen didn’t report the case, the Longcheng county government didn’t have much legal reason to intervene in the case and arrest the real culprit.

Just when the atmosphere froze and the scene froze.

Liu Ziwen raised his head suddenly, but his speed was slow.

The subtle movements immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

It is impossible to describe what kind of face this is.

It is like dumpling that has been kept in the freezer for a year and poured into a boiling water pot. After a bang, the red color of spoiled meat emerges under the hard frosted dumpling skin.

Just when Liu Ziwen raised his head, Liu Zian broke the silence first:
“Of course this case needs to be investigated. Brother, let’s report to the police. While the county magistrate is here, let’s report the case!”

However, Liu Ziwen ignored Liu Zian’s sincere expression, and didn’t even answer Ouyang Rong’s question immediately.

His bloodshot eyes turned to the taciturn Liu Zilin, and his voice was hoarse like a drake:
“You separated too?”

Liu Zilin immediately shook his head, “No, brother…”

Liu Zian interjected again:
“Brother, my third brother and I will not leave you. Although the brothers in other houses have divided up a lot of ancestral property, and the public trial has also paid a lot… But the Guyue sword shop was run by you from scratch, and it is still in our hands. Under this house…”

Liu Ziwen didn’t look at his second brother, but listened silently.

He had a sickly expression on his face.

There was a sudden calm.

Ouyang Rong, who was watching with cold eyes, said:

“No report. My lord, go slowly.”

The Young Patriarch of the Liu family, who had two knives stabbed in his chest, beat every word.

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Master Liu is truly a bodhisattva.”

He nodded, and said a word of emotion to everyone in the room, and everyone laughed along with him.

Immediately, Ouyang Rong didn’t linger, didn’t even bother to look back, and took Yan Liulang and others out.

Just leave a sentence before going out:
“Master Liu must make it through, don’t die, see you in court some other day, I and all the people in the county are waiting for you.”

But Liu Ziwen, the young patriarch of the Liu family known as “Zhihu”, is dead.

Ouyang Rong knew.

Liu Ziwen also knew.

Outside the official’s house, on the long corridor leading to another courtyard where the Jade Goddess was imprisoned.

Ouyang Rong, who was walking in the front of the crowd, stopped suddenly, turned around and asked Yan Liulang and other arresters curiously:
“When I was alive, how did it feel to see with my own eyes the career that I devoted all my heart and soul to, and the things I cared about, being destroyed inch by inch in person?”

Seeing the same calm expression on Mingfu’s face as when Liu Ziwen was parting just now.

Yan Liulang and his colleagues looked at each other, and the former said carefully:

“It should be… life is better than death, right?

“Just like what you said to everyone in the Ming Dynasty after the public trial the day before yesterday, for Liu Ziwen, brothers fight against each other, fight against each other, and the collapse of the Liu family is to punish others, which is more important than killing others.”

The more Yan Liulang spoke, the smoother he became, as if recalling the face of the young patriarch of the Liu family who was on the sick bed just now, he couldn’t help laughing and said:
“It’s still a conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty. Liu Ziwen looks like he’s dead now.”

He sighed, and couldn’t help taking another look at the face of the young county magistrate:

“Hey, the domineering and invincible Patriarch Liu at the time seems to be gone forever, but it’s only been two or three months, and the Ming Palace is too fast.”

Ouyang Rong watched Yan Liulang and the others without interruption, waiting for the latter to finish speaking.

“No. I don’t feel anything.”

he shook his head and said.

“I don’t feel anything?”

Yan Liulang and the others were stunned, “Ming Fu is joking, his life’s hard work has been ruined, his career has been overturned, even if he is a man, how can he not feel it.”

Ouyang Rong turned his head, staring at the rainwater that gently washed the blue bricks, ancient tiles and patterned floor tiles outside the corridor, and said softly:

“Because what Liu Lang said was a private scheme of the sect.”

“Secret plan of the portal…”

Yan Liulang murmured, and couldn’t help asking:

“What about the Ming Mansion, just in case, the Digong Gate and Zheyi Canal did not block the floods behind, and all the things that the Ming Mansion brought us to build were destroyed, and the Ming Mansion didn’t feel anything?”

Ouyang Rong turned around, walked forward, and strode away.

“Then come again.”

Yan Liulang and other arresting squad officers stared blankly at the back of the young county magistrate.

Among them, a young catcher from a wealthy family suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard in a teahouse, and blurted out: “The private man lasts for a while, and the public man lasts forever.”

Everyone turned their heads, their faces all stunned.

……

After the young magistrate and the policemen left.

Liu Zilin also took out the brothers of the Liu clan.

inside the house.

Only the two brothers Liu Ziwen and Liu Zian remained.

Liu Zian heard the sound of footsteps going away in the yard, turned his head, leaned forward, and whispered:
“Brother, don’t blame me. You fell down a few days ago, and the third brother and I really couldn’t bear the public trial later. Ouyang Lianghan obviously came prepared, and he had an excuse to grab his hand, and put our Liu family on it to roast without bleeding some blood.” It really doesn’t work, so…

“Although Mr. Wang protects us from being ransacked, there may still be too many people who have offended us in the past. In the past few days, these unscrupulous people have all jumped out, and they all want to cut a piece of fat off our Liu family. .”

Speaking of this, Liu Zian gritted his teeth, with a look of grief on his face:
“These clan brothers who came back to worship their ancestors are all white-eyed wolves. It was in vain that elder brother treated them so well in the past, but now they are all family thieves…

“But don’t worry, big brother. With Lord Wang’s intercession, my third brother and I managed to maintain the property of Gu Yue Sword Shop. It is not easy to survive this turmoil. From the present point of view, Ouyang Lianghan They don’t seem to suspect this…”

The words paused here, and Liu Zian frowned again:

“By the way, big brother, why didn’t you report the case, because you were afraid that the thief Ouyang Lianghan would call him a thief and use it as a catcher to attack us? This Ouyang Lianghan is really ruthless. He is not only ruthless, but also despicable and shameless. Friendship…”

That’s what Liu Zian said just now.

On the sickbed, Liu Ziwen, who sent everyone away with a calm expression and listened silently for a moment, suddenly became violent.

Just like the day of the public trial, he stared fixedly at Liu Zian’s shocked eyes, and tightly clutched his wrist.

The man on the sickbed had a hideous face and roared in a low voice:
“Liu Zi’an! I don’t care if you stabbed the knife or not, from now on, from now on! You guard the Liu family and the sword shop for me! If the sword is not forged, if the Liu family is broken in your hands, not only I will do it!” You won’t let go of Li Gui, and even the [-]th generation of Liu family ancestors won’t let you go!! Cough cough cough…”

Seemingly agitated, too much movement, and involving chest and lung wounds, Liu Ziwen coughed wildly covering his mouth and chest.

It can be described as weeping blood.

Liu Zian shook his wrists, his face was full of horror, innocence, and sadness, he shook his head vigorously and said:

“Brother, it’s really not me, it’s really not me who did it, you and my brothers and sisters, how could I do such a heartless thing like stabbing a knife in the back, big brother, do you want my second brother to cut this heart out, so that you letter?”

His eyes were red, his face looked tired and he said:

“And now is not the time for brothers to be suspicious. You should take good care of your wounds. We two brothers will survive the present together, and we will work together in the future. After that thing is cast, we will regain everything we lost, okay? Okay, okay? Brother?”

Liu Ziwen didn’t answer, or he didn’t listen to Liu Zian’s pleading words at all.

After he finished coughing, he lay on his back on the “squeaky” hard bed with his mouth full of blood, and the hideous look on his face gradually changed into a look of despair and sadness:

“I don’t care if you stabbed the knife or not, if you pretended, if you used me as a shield…

“If the Liu family is gone, the Liu family is gone…Liu Zian, you are an unworthy descendant, a sinner of the family… You will die forever.”

Liu Zian, big mouth, stared blankly at Liu Ziwen who was silently mourning more than death on the bed, there seemed to be all kinds of grievances, grief, and confusion in his eyes, and finally all brewed into a sentence of grief and indignation:
“Brother, it’s true that Lovebird’s poison passed through my hands, but Ouyang Lianghan also had it, you gave him the poison by mistake at the ribbon-cutting ceremony that day…

“Besides, if it was really me who did it, why do you want the dead to shout at Ouyang Lianghan and the others like an idiot? This kind of clumsy trick of splashing dirty water, as long as you are not stupid and a discerning person, you can chew it over afterwards. It is a frame. , Second Brother, would I do such a stupid thing?!”

The more Liu Zian asked back, the louder his breathing became. He covered his chest and panted, with tears in his eyes.

But Liu Ziwen didn’t look at him.

Still staring at the top of the curtain above the bed, after a while, he said in a light tone:
“Ouyang Lianghan would not do such a thing, not only did he not want to, but he also disdains it.”

Liu Zian’s teary pupils shrank, and he clicked his mouth.

But Liu Ziwen continued to act like no one else was around, and continued to stare blankly and said:
“If you really want to use outside tactics to deal with me, Ouyang Lianghan has countless opportunities and methods. What we can think of, can’t he think of it?

“However, he chose the fairest and most troublesome way to expose us in front of the people of the whole county and to put Liu’s family on trial…

“You said, such a person would hire dead men outside the market to assassinate me?”

There was a moment of silence inside and outside the bed.

Liu Ziwen’s face was ashen, but his tone was surprisingly calm:
“If you lose, you will still lose after all. I have lost since I used the off-market trick of buying murder and beheading. From then on, in the eyes of Ouyang Lianghan, I am no longer a respectable opponent.

“But he still doesn’t have the same violent means, and kills people with his own way. Instead, he still uses an upright public trial…”

There was a pause at this point, Liu Ziwen trembled violently on the bed, and Liu Zian fell off the stool in fright.

Liu Ziwen roared with jaw-dropping teeth:
“Damn, really damn, Ouyang Lianghan, you really damn, why, why didn’t you die in Donglin Temple, with such a murderous heart, you should die, you should die!”

The public trial proposed by Ouyang Rong is the greatest contempt and punishment for him.

It’s worse than being stabbed by a dead man.

It was precisely because Liu Ziwen saw these things too clearly that he was particularly painful, and his heart felt like a knife was twisted.

Ouyang Rong might as well kill him.

After the man on the sickbed who looked like a flashback became quieter, Liu Zian couldn’t help but say:

“Since it’s not Ouyang Lianghan, could it be Lord Wang…”

“Okay, shut up.”

Liu Ziwen interrupted suddenly, his voice was weak.

He drooped his blue eyelids and asked with a trembling mouth:

“Now…how much property is left in the Liu family?”

Liu Zian lowered his head:

“If it is two days, honestly follow what Ouyang Lianghan said just now… After the county government confiscates, compensates the people, and separates the houses, probably only the mansion on Xiaogushan and the ancient Yue sword shop on the west bank are left. By the way, by the way, the water transport business may still retain a small part.”

Liu Ziwen laughed suddenly: “Hahaha…cough cough cough…”

He coughed blood from his mouth, and the blood gushed out like a fountain gushing from his throat.

“Big brother.”

Liu Zian called out with concern, and couldn’t help crying:
“Brother, don’t be angry. As long as we still have the sword in our hands, we can still have a chance to turn around. This is what Mr. Wang hinted to us the day before yesterday. We can discard other ancestral properties for the time being and give them to Ouyang Liang first.” John and those unscrupulous people bow their heads and admit their mistakes first, and survive this calamity…

“It’s okay, big brother, let’s just bear it for a while… The furnace sword is still there, and the Liu family is still there!”

Liu Zian tightly held Liu Ziwen’s cold palm:
“Brother, let me be wronged here first, get well soon, and wait for something to happen. My third brother, my sister-in-law and I are waiting for you at home…”

Liu Ziwen made a hoarse voice, and interrupted: “You won’t pick me up now?”

Liu Zian’s face was a little embarrassed: “Brother is still a sinner, so I don’t want to offend Ouyang Lianghan…”

Liu Ziwen suddenly asked:
“You want to be the sword master?”

Liu Zian looked confused: “What are you talking about?”

Liu Ziwen didn’t speak anymore.

Afterwards, Liu Zian comforted his elder brother a few more words. Seeing Liu Ziwen’s silence, Liu Zian just said that he would not disturb his rest, and prepared to leave.

“Liu Zian, remember what you said, keep the Liu family, and lead the Liu family out of Dragon City… If you can do this in the end, you are not considered a sinner.”

Before leaving, Liu Ziwen spoke in a trembling voice.

Liu Zian: “Brother, I…”

“Remember my father’s porridge shed, the porridge shed must be opened, it must be opened…you can go.”

Liu Ziwen lay on his back and closed his eyes.

Liu Zian hesitated to speak, and left after seeing the complaint.

Only the empty house was left, on the sickbed, a man who looked like a walking corpse.

I don’t know how long it has passed.

That night.

The room was dark.

There was a strong wind and rain outside the window.

Suddenly, a gust of wind howled, and the window slammed open with a “bang”, and then closed again with a “bang”.

The only sound in the house was the gentle rustling of rain outside.

Other than that, there was only the faint and inaudible breathing of Liu Ziwen on the bed.

But in front of the bed, there was a dark shadow indistinctly.

This human-shaped black figure seems to have an empty sleeve, while the other hand is holding something long.

The broken-arm swordsman stood quietly in front of the bed for a while, as if he was watching something.

a while.

“you……”

There was a burst of snow-white moonlight that lit up the whole room instantly, and Liu Ziwen’s voice stopped abruptly.

Immediately, the house returned to darkness, only the sound of rain in a hurry, and no sound of breathing.

Chapter 155

Min Ledan’s face turned red and purple after being attacked by Tang Jin, but she quickly adjusted her expression and two strings of tears fell down, “Teacher Tang, I don’t understand why you are targeting me like this, is it because I said a few more words to the senior? Or do you celebrities look down on us ordinary people? I admit that I admire the senior, but I will compete with you fairly!”

Ji Chenfeng: “?”

He touched the top of his head. Why did it feel a little green?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the box looked a little unhappy. They had watched it from beginning to end. From beginning to end, no matter how Min Ledan provoked Tang Jin, she never said anything more. They didn’t expect that Min Ledan would still have such thoughts.

“Le Dan, what are you talking about? Didn’t you say yesterday that you were considering being my girlfriend?” Ji Chenfeng looked at her with a hurt face.

A barely perceptible irritation flashed across Min Ledan’s eyes. She was really annoyed by this fat guy. She had been keeping him hanging because he was doing a good job as a manager in a company, earning a lot, and obeying her orders.

But when she saw him today, Ji Chenfeng simply couldn’t catch her eye, not to mention that she had never liked Ji Chenfeng much in the first place.

Although she wanted to kick this annoying fat guy away immediately, she looked pitiful and cautious on the surface: “Brother Chen Feng, you are a very good person. I thought we were very good friends. I’m sorry, maybe some of my actions made you misunderstand, but I really don’t have any other ideas. I just want to get along with you as a friend.”

After saying this, she shed a few tears in a very serious manner.

Seeing Ji Chenfeng in a daze, Tang Jin kindly reminded him, “She means you are her backup.”

Ji Chenfeng: “…”

He felt as if something had quietly broken.

Seeing Ji Chenfeng’s distraught face, Tang Jin comforted him: “It’s okay, if you are a spare tire many times, you will be able to break out of the cocoon among the spare tires.”

Hearing this, Shi couldn’t help laughing, but realized that this was not appropriate in this occasion, so he forced himself to hold it back.

Min Ledan could no longer hold back after her thoughts were exposed. She said angrily, “Tang Jin! I don’t know what you mean by spare tire. How can you think of me like this? I have never had such a thought!”

“Got it, Ms. Xiaosan.” Tang Jin looked at her newly done manicure and replied nonchalantly.

“The one who is not loved is the mistress!”

Tang Jin: “…”

She never thought that she would hear these words in her lifetime, and she couldn’t help but look at Min Ledan a few more times in surprise.

Turning to look at Shi Ye, he said, “You are such a bad peach blossom.”

Shi Ye twitched his lips, “How about throwing her out?”

Tang Jin shook her head: “Forget it. It’s too stupid to be taken away by the mental hospital directly. It’s better to notify the guardian first.”

“Pfft…” Several people watching on the side couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Listening to the laughter one after another, Min Ledan could no longer hold back. She stared with her eyes wide open and stretched out her hands towards Tang Jin’s breathtakingly beautiful face.

But before he touched the corner of Tang Jin’s clothes, he felt a huge pain in his wrist.

The pain made her tears well up. She frowned and bit her lower lip gently. She looked at Shi Ye pitifully and said in a slow and soft voice: “Senior, be gentle.”

At the same time, she gave him goose bumps all over his body because of her sticky tone. He loosened his hand as if he had encountered a flood or a beast, and then took a wet towel from Tang Jin’s bag and kept wiping. He looked at Min Ledan without any emotion, and slowly uttered a word: “Get lost.”

As soon as these words came out, two strings of tears instantly flowed down Min Ledan’s originally pretty face. She said in a hurt tone: “Senior, do you really not remember me? We had a very good relationship when we were in school, and we often ate together!”

Shi Ye: “?”

He quickly turned his head and looked at Tang Jin, “I didn’t.”

“Are you the vixen Tang Jin? That’s why you don’t want to accept me. It’s all because of you being such a bitch…”

“Min Ledan, that’s enough!”

Ji Chenfeng, who had been secretly sad, suddenly spoke.

He looked at Min Ledan with complicated eyes: “It’s only now that I see your true colors. You’ve been hanging on to me since school, often asking me out for dinner. I thought you liked me, but it’s only now that I realize you were looking for me just to meet Shiye!”

“No wonder you’re always unhappy when I go to see you alone, and no wonder you always happen to run into us every time we have a dormitory dinner!”

“If you like him, just pursue him openly. I won’t say a word. Instead, I will bless you. But why do you accept my attentions while trampling on my sincerity?”

“Shi Ye already has a girlfriend, but you keep trying to sow discord between us. I thought you were just a materialistic person. I thought you liked me, so it was understandable for me to spend some money on you. I thought it was to please you, but I didn’t expect you were just a bad person!”

“I feel sick just looking at you now, get out of here and don’t let me do it myself!”

Ji Chenfeng is actually no longer considered a fat man. He was very fat when he was in school, but now he works out regularly and all the fat on his body has turned into muscles. Although he looks big, he is a muscular man.

Now he stood there with a gloomy face, like a small mountain, and his expression in anger was also terrifying.

Min Ledan was so frightened by the expression on his face that she dared not breathe. She was afraid that he would really throw her out, so she grabbed her bag and walked towards the door.

“Wait.” Tokiya said.

Hope ignited in Min Ledan’s heart.

She said that the senior liked her.

She turned around with anticipation, wanting to throw herself into Shiye’s arms, but before she could move, she heard the second half of Shiye’s words.

“This shirt of mine is worth 149,800 yuan. Transfer it to Ji Chenfeng.”

One hundred and forty-nine thousand, nearly one hundred and fifty thousand.

Although she has been working for several years, she has always been a clerk because of her lack of ability. Her monthly salary is only more than 10,000 yuan. In addition, she spends a lot of money on a daily basis and has no savings at all. Otherwise, she would not have been able to hook up with Ji Chenfeng, whom she has always looked down upon.

Min Ledan thought of her dog again, and she looked at Ji Chenfeng again: “Brother Feng, I promise you, let’s have a relationship.”

Ji Chenfeng frowned and sneered: “You think you are gold or jade, but you are just a gold digger. Why should I want you? I don’t even want the money I gave you. But since you disgust me so much, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“Give me back all the things I bought for you and the money I transferred to you.”

Min Ledan blinked, but his brain didn’t understand.
