Chapter 92: Beheading for Treats and Talking Back to Junior Sister (Kneel down and beg for votes!)
"Brother, you have to hold back."
"oh."
"We must put the overall situation first, be patient and let him be rampant for a few days."
"I know, second brother, why do you keep mentioning this?"
The Liu family mansion.
Beside the pond, in a maroon pavilion, Liu Ziwen, who was tossing fish bait and meditating, couldn't help but turn his head and look at Liu Zian curiously.
In the afternoon, Liu Zian returned from the county government office and immediately reported the meeting with the young county magistrate to Liu Ziwen.
After listening carefully, Liu Ziwen was not too surprised by Ouyang Rong's attitude, but his face was a little gloomy.
However, he found that his second brother, who had always been steady and taciturn in the past, was a little excited.
Liu Zian shook his head and did not explain further.
When my eldest brother came over in the evening, I realized that Ouyang Lianghan's words were indeed too blunt, which made people very angry.
Liu Ziwen didn't pay attention to this, frowned and asked: "Boss Li is gone?"
Liu Zian nodded:
"Yes, he left by boat last night. He said that he already has the martial arts part, and he will prepare a literary one next."
Liu Ziwen closed his eyes, raised his head and sighed:
"But he just left. Today, Ouyang Lianghan gave us another cruel move. This person doesn't follow the routine at all."
Liu Zian rubbed the right side of his face and said in a deep voice:
"Within two months, a new canal will be dug to divert the Butterfly Creek... Why on earth are Jianpu and Butterfly Creek obstructing him? They are so difficult for us to deal with!"
Liu Ziwen said quietly: "Boss Li's foreign aid won't wait for now. I'll go to Yuanming Tower tonight to treat you and meet this man."
Liu Zian was thoughtful after hearing this, and turned to look at a newly vacated Nanxuan courtyard not far away.
A new guest was settling in inside, and the servants of the Liu Mansion were coming in and out at the entrance of the courtyard, delivering food and wine, which was quite lively.
Liu Zian looked over there and said:
"Treat guests, behead him, accept him as a dog, there is no way forward... So the elder brother asked me to show weakness this time and treat him, is he trying to stabilize Ouyang Lianghan first, wait for him to relax his vigilance, and then wait for an opportunity to behead him?"
Liu Ziwen sighed:
"If I say that what I said to Boss Li that day is true, my eyes are on the overall situation. Apart from the third brother's matter, I don't have many personal grudges with Ouyang Lianghan. Would the second brother believe it?"
Liu Zian looked at his brother's back and lowered his eyelids: "Letter."
"Then my second brother shouldn't ask me the question I just asked.
"If beheading can immediately solve the problem of Zhiyi Canal, then of course we can't be lenient.
"But if beheading is of little use, but the risk is extremely high, why not try another way, treat the guests to dinner first, exchange benefits, and see if we can delay this son and Zheyiqu until the big thing is accomplished, or the external force that Boss Li is looking for comes.
Now, wouldn't it be safer to turn around and crush him to death like an ant?"
Liu Zian thought about it for a while and nodded: "Brother, it's better to calm down."
The man dressed as an ordinary rich man reflected on the water beside the pool outside the pavilion shook his head, narrowed his eyes and said:
"I'm not calm.
"Second brother, there is a fire quietly rising in my heart. The closer to that day, the stronger the fire is! But I think, I have waited for twelve years, and only these last two months will lead our Liu family Reaching that level... What do you think I can't tolerate?
"But as long as someone doesn't stand in front of the Liu family, I will bite them to pieces even if I die!"
Liu Zian looked at the floor and was silent for a moment.
"The eldest young master, the second young master."
At this time, a lame boy servant came from the new courtyard. He had just sent another batch of Yunshuijian sweet-scented osmanthus wine into the hospital.
The lame servant reported with a respectful expression:
"The gentleman said that for the sake of the sword that is about to be released from the Jiasan Furnace, he can consider using the sword, but he can only do it once. We will specify the target when the time comes, and we must finish it well later. He will go and cut it. Kill the target's head, return to Chang'an with the sword, and don't care about anything else.
"But if he gets dirty things on his body because of this, he will go back to Liu's house and cut off a few heads before leaving.
"Finally, the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing needs to be fully managed."
Liu Ziwen and Liu Zian turned to look at each other.
There wasn't much surprise in his eyes.
The two of them didn't think anything was wrong with such an overbearing clause.
After all... this is a middle-grade Zhu Qi Qi practitioner. Even if he was injured and fell down in Yunmengze, it is not something that ordinary local families can afford to hire.
The Liu family had the advantage of having the help of Persian businessmen, and the sword-making business they were good at hit the pain point of this weird swordsman named Ajie, so they could barely go smoothly.
"good."
Liu Ziwen immediately nodded and his expression became calmer.
He explained a few more words, and the lame servant took the order and left.
Liu Zian frowned and said:
"This man's ability may be as great as Boss Li said, but if we use it this way, isn't it too extravagant? There is no way to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. Will it be a waste of a good sword?"
"A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength."
Liu Ziwen shook his head, glanced at Liu Zian, and suddenly said coldly: "Who else should I use? Could it be that the alchemist of yours should be used?"
Liu Zian said calmly: "At least I did a good job on the Longshou Bridge. I fell into the water in public and no one suspected it."
Liu Ziwen said coldly: "Later, didn't they come back from the mountain well? Li Daitao is so stiff, pretending to be a ghost is of no use."
Liu Zian's face also looked a little surprised and he hesitated to speak.
The main reason was that the alchemist didn't know what was going on afterward. The magic ritual performed that day had obviously been successful...
But the fact before us now is that Ouyang Lianghan finally ran down the mountain to take office in full swing.
To be honest, it made them a little embarrassed.
Anyway, since then, the eldest brother no longer trusts the people on his side and has not mentioned this matter for a long time.
Liu Ziwen turned around and continued to stretch out his hand to spread the bait:
"It was the same thing last time when we burned accounts in the East Treasury. If there hadn't been a dead man, the alchemist would have been useless, and he was chased away by Xie's daughter. If we were caught, we would have been doomed."
Liu Zian couldn't help but said: "But there are still some alchemy techniques that are quite useful to us..."
The young master of the Liu family's bait-spreading hand paused in the air, and Liu Zian shut up instantly.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while.
Liu Ziwen continued to feed the fish.
He ordered without looking back:
"Go back to the sword shop and guard it. Don't follow that alchemist's nonsense from now on. Everything must be done as I say.
"I will go to Yuanming Tower in the evening to stay at home. Keep an eye on the Jiasan Sword Furnace for the next few days. Don't let this sword, which I promise as a reward for being a human being, have any problems again..."
"yes, Sir."
Liu Zian pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.
…
In the evening, there was still a large cloud of fire hanging in the sky. A carriage slowly drove out of Luming Street, making a soft "squeaking" sound under the wheels.
In the carriage, a young county magistrate looked suspicious and said:
"Little Junior Sister, why are you struggling to walk in the morning and then jumping up and down in the afternoon?"
There was a pretty girl wearing a moon-white men's shirt, sitting upright, nodding softly:
"The Liu family is too despicable. To prevent them from jumping over the wall, I have to protect senior brother."
Even though her breasts under her coat had been tightly bound by a piece of cloth, they were still like a pair of bright moons hiding in her breasts, towering over her clothes.
Especially with the rocking rhythm of the carriage...
Ouyang Rong, the master of eye management, could not take his eyes away. Hearing this, he shook his head:
"No, I'm asking why your injury suddenly healed. Junior sister, please don't change the subject."
"..."
Xie Lingjiang stared at him intently and said, "Senior Brother, can you focus more on serious matters and stop focusing on unimportant trivial matters."
Ouyang Rong couldn't help but frown: "Junior sister, couldn't you have been bluffing me before?"
"How...how is it possible?"
Facing his stubborn and penetrating gaze, Xie Lingjiang suddenly panicked and said:
"The injury was really serious a few days ago and I couldn't get out of bed. However, I had something urgent to do today. I meditated and had two weeks of Qi, and I was completely healed. In fact, spiritual energy can sometimes be good for this kind of skin.
It has a certain healing effect.”
"Then why didn't you use it earlier?"
"Senior brother, why do you have so many problems, just like my father?" Xie Lingjiang glared at him and turned his head, "I was too lazy to use it in the past few days. It will naturally heal and leave no traces."
Ouyang Rong shook his head and said seriously:
"Little junior sister, don't think that you can hide your little thoughts in front of me. Senior brother knows what you are thinking."
"I...what am I thinking?"
Ouyang Rong nodded and affirmed: "You just want me to deliver food to you."
Xie Lingjiang's heart suddenly rose in his heart, and immediately started beating violently. However, before Xiafei could even raise his cheeks, someone added seriously:
"This way you can be lazy and rest in Yilan Garden. You are so lazy, little junior sister. You must have planted those orchids in the yard. I guessed that something was wrong with those maids."
Xie Lingjiang: "..."
Ouyang Rong didn't seem to notice the resentful look in a certain junior sister's eyes, and he continued in an unhappy tone:
"Okay, no wonder you ask about this and that every day when I deliver meals. You are so concerned about official matters. This is no different from students who skip classes and are lazy but are worried about their academic performance. They are all false anxiety."
Xie Lingjiang felt a little ashamed and couldn't help but retorted: "Senior brother, you must be too strict."
The tough look on his mouth made Ouyang Rong want to tease his cute junior sister.
The young senior brother raised his eyebrows and said sternly:
"Who praised Senior Brother for his correct discipline before and asked Senior Brother to continue to discipline him in the future? Just forget about it, right?"
He nodded towards his junior sister whose expression changed and said:
"Okay, isn't it said that spiritual energy can quickly heal whip wounds? Huh, then senior brother, I will come back to discipline you!"
The tone was originally a joke. Ouyang Rong expected to be stared back at by his junior sister, but he didn't expect that Xie Lingjiang, who was sitting upright in the seat opposite, had his shoulders trembling slightly. He brushed his hair with his fingers and turned away slightly. She whispered
Whisper:
"We'll talk about it when we go back. Don't come now. You...you have to be busy tonight."
"..." Ouyang Rong.
Suddenly the only sound left in the carriage was the two men's breathing, which happened to be in unison.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long.
"Master, thank you Miss, Yuanming Tower is here."
Liu Ashan's muffled voice came from outside the carriage, and the curtain was opened by him.
"Okay, okay, here it comes, here it comes."
Ouyang Rong immediately got off the bus first.
Xie Lingjiang followed silently.
Didn't sleep, here we come! A little too late... Hug everyone from behind!
