In the study, several oil lamps were lit. Under the light, Ou Kang was helping Ou Xing treat his wounds. Ou Le, holding paper and pen on the side, asked while writing and recording:

"Young Master, are you suspecting District Three?"

"No, Ah San is our brother, and I believe him. Hiss~ However, I think there are a lot of doubts about the news conveyed by Ah San, and it needs to be identified."

Until his own death, his clan members were massacred for no reason in the county town, and the Ou family was framed and plotted for rebellion, which threatened to annihilate them. This series of unexpected news almost turned Ou Xing's brain into a ball of paste on the spot.

Under the combined influence of grief, grief, anger and many other negative emotions, Ou Xing, who was highly nervous, clenched his right fist and dug his nails and even the tips of his fingers into his palm.

The severe pain made Ou Xing wake up from his confusion. The main purpose of the orders he immediately issued and the tasks assigned to the militia and cavalry of the clan was to find something to do for the most excited clan members.

, let them control their emotions while busy and ensure the stability of the internal order of District Jiachong.

After calming down the agitated tribesmen and sending them away with emergency orders, Ou Xing finally gained some space to calm down and analyze the problem carefully.

Ou Kang and Ou Le, who had been brought to Tian Cao by Ou Xing before, were temporarily separated from Ou Jiachong's internal job system. Therefore, in the first wave of orders from Ou Xing, they did not receive tasks and were temporarily idle.

Come down.

This is not an oversight - the two brothers were left behind by Ou Xing on purpose - they are Ou Xing's most trusted companions in this life.

The wound on Ou Xing's right hand was very shallow, only about half a centimeter deep. Theoretically, it should not be enough to provide sufficient anaerobic survival conditions for Clostridium tetani.

So Ou Xing ordered Ou Kang to clean his wound with soapy water and clean water, wash it alternately for a quarter of an hour and then bandage it.

While treating the wound, Ou Xing clarified his doubts - Dong Yi colluded with Luo to attack Ou, how could he let Ou Xing go? Why didn't he close the city gate before siegeing Zuixianju and other Ou's properties in the county?

What about action? I shared it with the brothers.

"Young Master, what you mean is that Ah San was deceived?"

"Maybe so. Maybe it's just that Ah San was deceived by the appearance of complex events and read information that was wrong or deviated from the facts."

Speaking of this, Ou Xing paused for a moment, subconsciously pushed his non-existent glasses with his fingers, and then continued:

"Xiuchang, please remember it."

"Zui Xianju was besieged by the Luo clan and the light knights and scoundrels in the county. This information was witnessed by Ah San with his own eyes."

"Big~ Old Jingfu was killed by the county magistrate's ambushes in the county government office, and other district properties in the city were besieged. This information was heard by Ah San from the Luo clan members and light knight scoundrels who besieged Zuixianju.

of."

"The collusion between Luo Shi and the county magistrate is based on Ah San's own speculation based on the above information."

"Did you remember it?"

"Young Master, I have remembered everything." Ou Le responded while writing furiously, "But I haven't finished copying it yet."

His right hand had been bandaged, and Ou Xing motioned to Ou Kang to move the oil lamp in front of him to Ou Le's case.

"No, please turn it off." Ou Le refused, "My eyes are fine and I can see clearly. It's too extravagant and wasteful to light so many lamps."

Ou Kang looked back at Ou Xing, only to see Ou Xing waving his hand towards him.

"Keep it, it's worth the money for the lamp oil. Poor lighting can easily hurt your eyes, so don't make it myopic like me."

"Wei." The two brothers responded in unison.

"Young Master," Ou Le raised his head and asked after finishing copying, "Is the most important thing right now to find out the truth of the matter?"

Ou Xing shook his head.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to find out the truth for a while. My eldest brother has already taken people to the county to investigate and understand the situation. As long as we can get more effective information, that's enough."

"Please remember it."

"The most important thing right now, externally, is to distinguish between friends and foes."

"Whoever attacks our tribesmen in the county is our enemy; whoever provides help to our tribesmen in the county is our friend."

"Except for clear enemies and clear friends, the rest are temporarily classified as centrists."

"Internally, the most important thing right now is to unify the thoughts of the whole clan and gather the strength of the people."

Ou Xing stopped and waited for Ou Le to copy the records. At this time, Ou Kang interrupted and asked:

"Young Master, what thoughts should we unify?"

"Good question!" Ou Xing nodded in approval, "Sifang, let me ask you a question first. Do you want to rebel?"

"Master, I didn't think about it before, but I think about it now."

"Why didn't you think about it before, and why do you want to rebel now?"

"With Shaojun, life is getting better and better, so I have never thought about rebellion. However, the way Luo Shi and the county magistrate treated us today is unbearable! So, I thought about rebellion."

Seeing Ou Le stop writing, probably because he had finished transcribing the previous words, Ou Xing asked Ou Le again:

"Xiuchang, do you want to rebel?"

"Young Master, I have always wanted to rebel."

"Why?"

"If Shaojun takes charge of the family, the life of the clan will get better and better day by day. If Shaojun takes charge of a county, a county, a state and even the world, then the days of the county, county, state and even the world will also get better and better. County,

If the leaders of the county, state, and the world are unwilling to give up their throne for Shaojun, then they will rebel against him."

Ou Xing glanced at Ou Le and stopped talking. He paused and then asked:

"Do you think the clansmen want to rebel?"

"As long as Shaojun raises his arms," ​​Ou Le put down his dip pen and geared up, "announces a rebellion, and the tribesmen will definitely respond positively."

"Yeah," Ou Kang nodded repeatedly, "just now, weren't the tribesmen eager to rebel?"

"Dong dong," Ou Xing knocked on the table, "Sifang, Xiuchang, don't let your emotions influence your thinking and judgment. This is a typical survivor bias."

"The first people who gathered in my courtyard to express their stance were the most radical clan members. My house is not Weiyang Palace, and the courtyard is so big. How many people can stand there?"

"There are more than 15,000 people from over 3,000 households in the Ou family. Among the silent majority of the people who did not immediately gather in my courtyard, how many of them want to rebel, how many dare to rebel, and how many of them dare to rebel?

Have you investigated how many people both want to rebel and dare to rebel?"

"Tomorrow, I will do the investigation!" Ou Le slapped his fist.

"This matter is not the main point," Ou Xing waved his hand, "You can just do it along with me - I have something important to give to you two brothers."

"Wei." Ou Kang and Ou Le leaned over to answer the order.

"The Ou family has lived through thirty years of peace. In recent years, life has been particularly good."

"Young Master has started to take charge of the family! Of course life is going well." Ou Le interrupted and offered a rainbow fart.

Ou Xing ignored him and continued his analysis:

"As long as the harvest is guaranteed after droughts and floods, and there is a little surplus after eating and drinking, the farmers will easily feel rich. The tribesmen's small-scale farmer awareness that they can be happy with small wealth must be taken seriously."

"Xiuchang, please remember it."

"I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will offend them! This is the first thought that requires the whole clan to be unified."

"Xiuchang, find out the income data of Zuixianju and the department store, and the dividend data for each household in the clan, and then find out the profits and dividends of the wine shop, tooth shop, soap shop and other handicraft workshops owned by the family.

Find the data."

"Let me tell you how much the whole clan and every household has suffered this time. If we cannot respond with heavy blows in the face of the enemy's attack this time, then we are telling the enemy and potential enemies in the centrist faction that the Ou family is weak and vulnerable.

You are being bullied. Next, the clan and every household will lose more!"

"Punch away with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. Only by quickly retaliating to the enemy can the enemy and the potential enemies in the centrists be frightened to a limited extent. Only then can the Ou Jiachong's 'little lucky' life be continued.

"

"If you can't defeat it with one punch, hundreds of punches will follow. This time, if the Ou family retreats, or because we are not united enough and the fightback is not strong enough, then after Zui Xianju, the department store, we will lose more, the clan

People will soon be driven to poor mountains and rivers to dig up dirt and eat it!"

"Understood!" Ou Le wrote quickly while Ou Kang was thoughtful.

"We are raising armies for revenge, not rebellion. This is the second idea of ​​unifying the whole clan."

"If it is a rebellion - according to the law, it is a crime of rebellion, and it is a crime of the Yi tribe. It is a crime of treason and immorality. Parents, wives, and relatives will all abandon the market."

"If it's revenge - we can't live together with our father. Brothers can't fight against each other. This is the teaching of the sage in the Book of Rites. If you follow the teaching of the sage and raise an army to take revenge, you are doing the right thing, and you have meritorious service and no guilt."

"We must do adequate publicity work to eliminate the psychological pressure on our tribesmen, friends and potential friends in the middle, and rally people's strength."

"But," after finishing writing, Ou Le raised his head and asked, "What if the county magistrate really colluded with the Luo family and participated in the massacre of the old jingfu and the clan members?"

"Xiuchang, I understand what you mean - killing officials must be rebellion."

"Then~"

"It doesn't matter," Ou Xing raised his hand to stop Ou Le, "Do a good job in publicity. The Ou family will raise troops to take revenge and will not rebel. The county magistrate is an official of the court and represents the authority of the court and the emperor. He will not have any

Wrong - he was deceived by local traitors."

"The Ou family raised the army for revenge, not rebellion. It was to eliminate the villains who deceived the county magistrate, not to target the county magistrate Dong Gong. The Ou family would not kill the court officials. If there was an accident... it would be an accident.
