"Ah..." Behind him, a woman seemed to be approaching, holding the corner of his clothes and making a soft sound.

Ouyang Rong, who was in a trance, did not look back or bother to look.

At this moment, everyone on the gate was looking at the silent back of a young county magistrate at the front.

As if he had developed some kind of inertia, Ouyang Rong did not move his back and did not give precise orders. For a while, most of the crowd did not dare to take a step ahead, even if they were ants on the hot pot.

But no matter how united the team is, there will still be heavy pressure, which will be gathered and conveyed to the front.

"Master, it's too late. We have to make a decision. Master, please give the order!"

Liu Ashan led the men from the People's Liberation Army around him, worried and anxious, as if he was ready to take the young county magistrate away by force at any time.

Ouyang Rong took a deep breath, looked up at them, and opened his mouth to speak.

But at this time, somewhere in the crowd behind him, someone had already begun to collapse.

"It's the Dragon King! It's the underwater Dragon King who's hitting the gate!

"The floodgate will definitely collapse. None of you can save it, not even the county magistrate! It's like this, it must be like this!"

The speaker was a priest of the Dragon King Temple who was dressed as a temple priest. He was about thirty or forty years old, with colorful mysterious paint on his face. He was pointing at the crack under the dam and roaring hysterically at the surrounding crowd.

There were several fellow priests beside him, but at this time they seemed to be frightened by the middle-aged priests and fell to the ground.

These Dragon King Temple priests were previously assigned to the Civil War Corps by Ouyang Rong to undergo labor reform. Until now, some of them seemed to be the first to go crazy.

"This is the Dragon King, it's the Dragon King's warning. You guys are not sincere. The Dragon King has finally shown his power. This is God's punishment. You can't escape it. The Dragon King will send another flood and destroy the county. You all won't be able to escape!"

The whole place was silent, with only the sound of rain and the sound of the middle-aged priest kneeling on his knees and roaring. Everyone turned their attention, including Ouyang Rong.

"Hurry up, why don't you kneel down quickly and ask the Dragon King to forgive me and stay alive..."

The middle-aged priest poked everyone in the audience with his finger, his expression collapsed and he yelled crazily.

The whole place was suddenly panicked, and everyone in the crowd who was pointed at by him took a step back.

A strange scene was taking place on the dam where the heavy rain had released.

Ouyang Rong closed his eyes: "You're crazy, take me away."

Liu Ashan and several men from the People's Liberation Army immediately stepped forward.

However, before they could get close, the middle-aged priest jumped up and waved his arms to arrest them, threatening them:

"Whoever dares to touch me is not afraid of the Dragon King's punishment! If you don't kneel down and beg for mercy, the Dragon King will definitely let you die without a burial place! And you!"

The middle-aged priest changed the topic, poked his finger in Ouyang Rong's direction, and said sternly:

"It's you, Ouyang Lianghan, it's you, you are the culprit! You are the culprit who offended the Dragon King! The Dragon King shows off his power and hits the gate, just to take your life! The culprit must be punished!

"Ouyang Lianghan, if you dare to build a sluice to control the flood under the Dragon King's nose, the Dragon King will definitely let you die without a body! This flood that swept through Dragon City was caused by you! You will not die a good death!

"You stupid people, why are you still stupid? Throw Ouyang Lianghan into the water and sacrifice him to the Dragon King. The culprit will be punished!"

Ouyang Rong opened his eyes at this time, looked at the middle-aged priest calmly, and looked up and down.

Liu Ashan frowned and led several men to rush in quickly, knocking the middle-aged priest to the ground and restraining him immediately.

"Let me go, what are you doing? You dare to touch me. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God like Ouyang Lianghan? You want to be an accomplice? You lackeys, how dare you offend the Dragon King and work with this dog official to deceive the people of Longcheng County.

They...wuwuwu...wuwuwu."

The middle-aged priest's expression was hysterical. He struggled and his mouth was blocked.

The crowd around was silent, and the only sound on the field was the sound of rain.

"Wait, let him speak." Ouyang Rong looked at the silent crowds on both sides and suddenly spoke.

"Master..." Liu Ashan hesitated.

"Let him say it, no need to block it."

Ouyang Rong shook his head, and Liu Ashan and others had no choice but to obey the order and let go of their gagging hands.

Ouyang Rong asked softly to the grinning middle-aged priest: "Did anyone teach you to say that?"

The middle-aged priest looked ferocious:

"What taught me to say that? Isn't it self-evident! The Dragon King's wrath has been revealed before your eyes. Folks, open your eyes and take a look! What has this scourge done since he took office? Zheyi Canal, Di Gongzha, etc.

If a person is not against the Dragon King, who will he kill if the Dragon King doesn't punish him!

"This flood is caused by the Dragon King in the water coming down to punish him! It's a pity that everyone suffered along with him, but he still pretends to take the lead in blocking the water. Can the Dragon King be in danger?!"

The middle-aged priest became more and more fluent as he spoke. At this moment, he actually stood up, pointed his finger at Ouyang Rong, and then suddenly pointed at Ye Weila next to him:

"On the day he took office, he fell into the river and drowned. This was Lord Dragon King's warning. Unexpectedly, this guy, who couldn't even swim, escaped by chance, but he didn't know how to change his ways, and offended Lord Dragon King even more...

"Also! Folks, please look at the white-haired woman next to him. This is proof!

"The Dragon King was merciful and spared his life. However, he showed no remorse and became greedy and bold. He stole a white-haired dragon girl from the Dragon Palace and imprisoned her at home!

"It made the Dragon King so angry that it rained heavily, hit the floodgates, and then flooded Dragon City...

"Everything happened because of him. Fellow villagers, don't be deceived by this man anymore. Return when you have lost your way. Go and catch Ouyang Lianghan, throw him into the water, sacrifice to the Dragon King, and then kill this white-haired girl."

They also threw themselves into the water together to return the Dragon Palace and appease the Dragon King's anger...

"The chief culprit shall be punished!"

The roaring words of the middle-aged priest, whose face was covered with paint and who was wearing colorful clothes, caused the atmosphere in the whole place to fall into an eerie silence.

Seeing this, several priests of the Dragon King Temple around seemed to have gained some courage, waving flags and shouting:

"Ouyang Lianghan! The first culprit must be punished!"

"The chief culprit shall be punished!"

For a moment, the only sounds on the silent dam were their voices.

"Huang Miao!" Ye Weilai's face was filled with indignation.

But immediately, the white-haired girl felt countless eyes quietly coming from all around, towards her and the silent master beside her.

Ye Weilai trembled all over, and her wet silver-white hair stuck to her cheeks. She stood in front of Ouyang Rong regardless of her body, opened her hands, and her blue eyes widened:

"You are a mouthful, but my Tan Lang has always been at the forefront to save the people! You have such a vicious heart!"

Ye Weilai shouted from left to right: "Fellows and fellow villagers, don't be deceived by evil words. Tan Lang is not guilty, and the slave is not a white-haired dragon girl. The slave is bleeding with human blood. You can prove it by cutting your wrist..."

The middle-aged priest sneered: "Speaking for Ouyang Lianghan like this, do you really want to stay in the world? Get down quickly, don't bring trouble to everyone."

Ye Weilai's face turned red: "You..."

However, before she finished speaking, her expression froze.

Also stunned were the surrounding crowd and the middle-aged priest. The latter looked at the young magistrate who suddenly walked over and couldn't help but back away frequently and said in a panic:

"What...what did you...uh..."

The middle-aged priest had a lump in his throat.

It's really stuck.

Ouyang Rong walked over with a calm face, held down the middle-aged priest's head with his big hand, pulled out the skirt knife from his waist, and neatly cut off a head.

In the rainstorm, he raised the bloody head in his hand, motioned to the audience, and threatened:

"Those who deceive people's hearts should be killed!"

After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, Ouyang Rong threw the head with eyes wide open into the water, then raised his foot and kicked the bloody headless corpse in front of him off the dam, and into the water together.

Ouyang Rong faced the silent villagers on the field and said calmly:

"There is no Dragon King. Even if there is one, there is no need for him to come. I will go and meet him."

He tilted his head and whispered to Liu Ashan, He Changli and other men:

"There is no need to withdraw. Who said you are empty-handed? Who said you have nothing to block the pipe?"

Ouyang Rong took off the knife and stuffed it into the arms of the white-haired maid. He turned around and walked to the edge of the dam without looking back, and jumped off alone.

"thump!"

Amidst the silence and the sound of falling water, the faces of the remaining people on the dam were stunned.

Everyone swarmed to the edge of the dam and stared down, only to see the young county magistrate floating in the turbulent waves. His face was pale and his frail body was trying his best to block the gap in the pipe.

He can actually swim.

Among the people at the gate, there were those who had been swayed by doubts and bowed their heads in shame.

Other rumors and slanders will naturally be defeated without attack.

"Where is the Dragon King?"

Ye Weilai held the knife in both hands and turned around to question. Everyone who had been silent before looked ashamed and avoided looking.

Liu Ashan walked out without saying a word and jumped down.

On the gate and dam, the crowd gathered by the militiamen, officers, and villagers was silent for a moment.

Men came out one after another and jumped into the water one by one.
