Chapter 143 The speed of life and death, too late?(2/3)
"Two-quarters of an hour ago, didn't that female Bodhisattva leave with you, the county magistrate?"
Ouyang Rong's heart trembled, he said goodbye and turned around.
He rushed to the gate of Donglin Temple without stopping.
Looking around, in the waiting pavilion not far outside the gate, the figures of Yan Liulang and the other convoys had long since disappeared, leaving only some ordinary pilgrims.
Sure enough.
Ouyang Rong took a deep breath, held the knife in his hand, and rushed down the mountain with his head buried in his chest.
He didn't dare to stop for a moment, as if he was trying to catch up with something.
Ouyang Rong looked serious.
Against the mountain wind blowing from all directions, he shivered and became more awake. Certain things in his mind and the conspiracy behind them gradually became clear in his heart like beads on a string of fine threads.
Liu Ziwen and the others should be causing trouble in all this!
The "female fairy" that the two Liu thugs just called was probably disguised as him through some magic trick!
This also explains why they mistakenly thought he was some kind of "fairy".
The only thing that confused Ouyang Rong was.
According to the words and reactions of the two Liu family thugs, there should be a powerful killer waiting for him inside the Beitian Almshouse, and from what they said, it seemed like he was some kind of Chang'an swordsman.
If it is true, then why was he able to complete the inspection of Beitian Nursing Home without any injuries?
The younger junior sister happened to be away from him. Looking back now, Ouyang Rong felt that this was indeed the best time to take action, and he didn't have much defense.
Ouyang Rong had to admire that the Liu family was really good at finding the right time. This was before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, when his vigilance was relatively relaxed.
Liu Ziwen was so ruthless when it came to such an unexpected move, and his name was just used to feed the dogs.
Ouyang Rong frowned and was speechless.
But the result now is that not long ago, he walked out of the Beitian Nursing Home without any incident and didn't even notice anything strange.
This was even beyond the expectations of the two Liu clan thugs, otherwise he would not have uncovered the conspiracy, trapped and killed the two men, and gone down the mountain to chase them.
Ouyang Rong was puzzled.
Did the Chang'an swordsman regret his decision and didn't come, or was there some force majeure that stopped him?
He suddenly had an idea and thought:
"Is there a blessing worth three thousand merits that has not been redeemed before? Is it possible that this is really a blessing to save his life? Just like now?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head to dispel distracting thoughts.
For the time being, he stopped dwelling on this matter and turned his attention to what was about to happen.
Liu Ziwen sent people to intercept and kill him, then changed his position and asked a guy named "Fairy" to pretend to be him and lead people down the mountain.
What exactly do you want to do?
Simply want to kill him?
So if you were secretly transporting oil to Dickong Gate to blow up the gate, wouldn't you be able to kill him?
Isn't it unnecessary?
Or is it possible that using the gate cleaning ceremony to transport oil is actually just the tip of the iceberg of the conspiracy, and it is a cover-up used to confuse him.
On the surface, the Liu family is standing on the first floor and Ouyang Rong is standing on the second floor, but in fact, the Liu family is standing on the third floor?
Liu Ziwen actually knew that he already knew about the oil gate transportation, and even knew that he was prepared to attack Liu during the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
So the plan fell into place, and they first used the transportation oil gate to be exposed to make them relax their vigilance.
The current Donglin Temple killing plan is to get rid of him, and then let the guy named "Fairy" disguise himself as him, sneak down the mountain, and pick up the Jiangzhou officials to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
After sorting out and summarizing the clues, Ouyang Rong couldn't help but have another question in his mind.
Did Mr. Liu just want to kill someone by going around in circles in such a big way?
Ouyang Rong suddenly shook his head.
No.
He didn't know the other members of the Liu family, but Ouyang Rong had a unique understanding of Liu Ziwen's character.
From the first time Ouyang Rong saw the plain-looking Liu Ziwen at Yuanming Tower, he knew that he had met someone of the same type.
Liu Ziwen, like him, would never be satisfied with simply killing people once he took action.
What's the point of killing someone?
Killing the heart is the best operation.
So how to punish your heart?
On the mountain road, Ouyang Rong, who tried to take Liu Ziwen's perspective, became quiet for a while.
The existing information and conclusions flowed and spliced in his mind, and finally, like a puzzle, he could vaguely see a certain panorama.
He raised his eyes, sighed, and murmured:
"I don't know how many strategies Liu Ziwen has, but I can have three strategies..."
The first policy.
Let that "fairy" pretend to be him, blow up the gate in front of everyone at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Dickong Gate, and take the blame.
The second strategy.
He still had the "fairy" disguised as him to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but this time, the Liu family revealed "Ouyang Lianghan's" gate bombing conspiracy in public, throwing all the witnesses and material evidence in "Ouyang Lianghan's" face
superior.
As for how the personal and material evidence came about, there is a "female fairy" who can pretend to be him. It is not difficult to prepare the personal and material evidence a few days in advance. With the fake "Ouyang Ronglianghan", any dirty water can be poured on him
.
The third strategy.
Ouyang Rong thinks it is the simplest and crudest.
Didn't the Jiangzhou officials just come? Remember, this was Liu Ziwen's "little request" at the apology banquet.
As long as Ouyang Lianghan, disguised as a "fairy", assassinates Jiangzhou Shangguan in full view of everyone, either all of them, or one of the important court officials.
Even if Ouyang Rong is a local official, even if he is a well-known gentleman in the world, he will be ruined. This basin of dirty water is enough to ruin his future.
These three strategies can all kill the heart and stigma.
If the information revealed by the two Liu family thugs not long ago is correct.
He who was beheaded at Donglin Temple would later be disguised as a ribbon-cutting ceremony and then abscond and commit suicide out of fear of crime.
In the end, all three strategies can use his "dead man".
Moreover, once these three strategies are successfully implemented, all disaster relief and water conservancy projects during Ouyang Rong's life can be overturned after Ouyang Rong was splashed with dirty water and "committed suicide".
The Liu family's porridge shed and nursery can be reopened, and the business will be prosperous; the Dee Gongzha's big business can also continue, and they will make a fortune every year!
Ouyang Rong thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and then shook his head.
Among these three strategies, the first strategy is the worst and the least likely.
Because if Ouyang Rong had guessed correctly before, the Dickong Gate, which collapsed in four years, should be the core interest of the Liu family.
There is a better strategy. There is no need to build a costly Dickong Gate for Ouyang Lianghan who has been beheaded in advance.
As for the second and third strategies.
Ouyang Rong felt that it was better than the first strategy, but the effect was the same.
The only difference is that the former is more literary and the latter is more martial.
Moreover, both do not need to blow up the gate, which can save costs.
Wouldn't it be nice to leave the Dickong Gate to be exploded later when the time comes?
As for whether it is one of these three strategies, which one will Liu Ziwen choose...
If I believe the name is correct, it is the one written by Wen, which is the second policy.
But is Liu Ziwen really literary?
Ouyang Rong pursed his lips.
He rushed all the way down the mountain. On the way, he only stopped for a moment by a mountain spring, and took a big gulp of cold mountain spring water with his chapped lips...
Finally, Ouyang Rong ran to the foot of the mountain panting.
But at the foot of the mountain, going left and right, all the carriages originally parked had disappeared.
After all, he still couldn't catch the tail.
In other words, his original luck was shattered - the fake "Ouyang Lianghan" did not linger at all, and went straight down the mountain with his junior sister and Yan Liulang to pick up the Jiangzhou officials.
Ouyang Rong frowned. He only had one pair of legs now. Could it be possible to chase him on foot?
To be continued...
