Chapter 148 Humph, senior brother wouldn’t be so kind to me(2/2)
Liu Ashan led people into the main lock room behind Ouyang Rong and others, and then successively moved out the fully loaded wooden barrels from the main lock room and placed them in the sun.
Ouyang Rong turned his head, continued to face the curious gazes of everyone in the audience, pointed at the main lock chamber, and said righteously:
"Instigated by the Liu family behind the scenes, the priests of the Dragon King Temple, together with the sword shop craftsmen who repaired the gate, used the gate cleaning ceremony before completion to smuggle these flammable and explosive oils into the main gate chamber...
"The Liu family is trying to do evil things to the newly built Di Gong Gate! There are both witnesses and physical evidence on this matter!
"The Liu family is so proficient in this matter, it's hard not to doubt that this is not the first time or twice.
"I reasonably infer that since the construction of a Dickong Gate, every collapse of the Dickong Gate in the four years has been caused by the Liu family! The floods in Longcheng County for more than ten years have caused grief everywhere, and many families have been destroyed.
, not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster caused by the Liu family!
“The crime is so heinous and the crime is so heinous that the common people will not be able to hate him without killing him!
"Master Shen, Master Wang, please request a public trial of the Liu family!"
Ouyang Rong's words were like golden stones falling to the ground, sonorous and resounding.
It was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky that struck the hearts of the common people, rural gentry, and wealthy people who came to watch the ceremony today.
It immediately became the fuse that ignited the whole scene.
"Wow--"
"Oh——"
The crowd watching the ceremony was completely in a state of excitement.
Countless looks of shock, anger, and silence fell on the three brothers Liu Ziwen, Liu Zi'an, and Liu Zilin standing in the first row of the crowd.
"False accusations...all false accusations!" Liu Zilin, with a gleam of light on his back, yelled at the crowd to defend himself.
However, his voice was overwhelmed by the roaring sound and drowned by the angry and suspicious eyes. Liu Zilin trembled all over and stammered in his words.
"Come here, please take the Liu brothers into custody first!"
Shen Xisheng frowned and scolded fiercely.
He then took the lead and rushed towards the main lock room with great momentum. Wang Lengran remained silent and pursed his lips to follow.
The crowd watching the ceremony at the back could not hold it any longer and rushed forward like a tide!
Liu Ziwen and Liu Zian were like two nails being hammered hard by someone. At this moment, their feet were nailed to the spot, unable to move.
Liu Zilin's eyes were full of fear. He swallowed and looked at his two brothers as if asking for help, "Big brother and second brother, let's... what should we do!"
However, no one answered him. All he saw was the two brothers who were usually calm and unfazed when things happened.
At this moment, their faces were very pale and ugly.
In the lively and lively place, among the angry and noisy crowd, Ouyang Rong's face remained as usual, with his hands in his sleeves, he walked forward with Xie Lingjiang and others, and leisurely passed by the three detained Liu brothers.
When passing by Liu Ziwen and the other three, he seemed to have remembered something.
The young county magistrate calmly grabbed a handful of the remaining melon seeds from his sleeve, chewed them lightly, smiled and spread his hands, handed some to Xie Lingjiang, and took him away to eat the melon seeds together.
Seeing Ouyang Rong's familiar scene of eating melon seeds, the three Liu Ziwen brothers seemed to have remembered something.
Liu Ziwen's eyes were fixed on the back of Ouyang Rong, who was eating melon seeds as he left easily. His breathing suddenly became thicker, and his stiff body was crumbling. Fortunately, he was supported by Liu Zi'an and Liu Zilin beside him, so he did not fall.
"Brother! What's wrong with you..."
"No...it's okay, I'm fine..."
The corners of the eyes of the young head of the Liu family, who was about to face the crime of confiscating his house, twitched violently, and his eyes immediately turned black.
…
The ribbon-cutting ceremony in the afternoon ended temporarily in a chaotic but orderly mess.
The sun was setting in the west, and the day's disputes seemed to be coming to an end like a red sun dragging its tired body.
However, what happened at the ribbon-cutting ceremony: an assassin pretended to be a county magistrate to assassinate the supervisor, years of floods caused disasters, the young county magistrate exposed the Liu family's heinous crimes, etc.
However, with the continuous return of the guests and people who attended the ceremony, the news spread wildly and fermented inside and outside Longcheng County.
The coming night only temporarily concealed the boiling public opinion and waves. No one knew how big a storm would be the next 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, a pair of senior brothers and sisters were sitting opposite each other, silently.
It was a little dark inside the carriage.
Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang had never been alone in a carriage before.
However, it used to be quite relaxed and comfortable, and the atmosphere has never been as silent as it is now.
This has been the case since we just boarded the carriage at Dickong Gate and set off.
Logically speaking, they don't need to ride in the same carriage.
Ouyang Rong can go and accompany Shen Xisheng, Wang Lengran and other superior officials.
However, when Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang boarded the train, they still entered the same carriage tacitly, while Liu Ashan and others also retreated tacitly without interrupting.
Ouyang Rong doesn't like this kind of tacit understanding that you know and I know, but sometimes he is very grateful for this kind of tacit understanding, which can at least save a lot of embarrassment.
Dark carriage.
There was a long silence.
Ouyang Rong suddenly raised his hand, Xie Lingjiang trembled.
However, Ouyang Rong only stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage and did nothing else.
But the delicate body of a certain woman in red clothes still seemed to remain tight.
In fact, she had been suppressing the urge to rush into the arms of the man in front of her since she had just accompanied someone to leave Duke Dee's Gate and board the carriage.
She has been rational for so long this afternoon. If she endures it any longer, she will endure it again...
Xie Lingjiang looked at Ouyang Rong intently.
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:
"How did Senior Brother come from Dagushan to Di Gongzha in the afternoon? For such a long journey, we took the fastest waterway. How did you catch up so quickly?"
With this damn tacit understanding again, someone fell silent and couldn't help but glance at the junior sister who looked as if nothing had happened.
Ouyang Rong did not speak, but turned to look out the east window.
Xie Lingjiang's eyes showed some curiosity and he looked out following Ouyang Rong's gaze.
At this moment, the convoy happened to pass by the edge of a dense mountain forest. Outside the sparse trees, a newly built river can be seen.
Xie Lingjiang naturally knew Zheyi Canal, 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 Zheyi Canal is filled with patches of golden waves - water dyed like gold.
Xie Lingjiang looked around, her eyes reflecting this scene, her face was stunned, and for a moment she felt that this scene was a bit beautiful.
This is the result of senior brother's struggle with her these days... Xie Lingjiang's melancholy mood improved a little.
"Senior Brother, wasn't it suspended after the first phase of Zheyi Canal was completed? Why..."
Seeing Ouyang Rong's bright eyes, Xie Lingjiang stopped talking and didn't say any more. Everything was left unsaid.
Obviously, if we take the normal old Butterfly Creek waterway, that is, the waterway that Xie Lingjiang and the Yuxi Fairy took after picking up people in the afternoon, they will have to bypass Longcheng County, which will take a lot of distance.
Zheyi Canal is an almost straight river. If you start from Songlindu and take Zheyi Canal to Yedu Wharf at the other end, you can directly save most of the redundant waterway.
As for the thick wall used to block water at Songlindu, Xie Lingjiang remembered that when he accompanied his senior brother to inspect the last time, he heard from the chief engineer Cao that it could be opened at any time...
Ouyang Rong suddenly asked: "What about junior sister, when did you discover the fake senior brother?"
Xie Lingjiang bit her lower lip and stared at Ouyang Rong's face for a long time. She slowly lowered her eyes.
