The young magistrate finished his words, and the whole house fell into a dead silence.

You can hear the needle drop.

There were only one or two sounds of breathing that suddenly became thicker in the room.

While Yan Liulang was waiting for the arrest, the Liu clan brothers showed some strange expressions.

Their eyes quietly drifted between Ouyang Rong, who had a sincere face, and Liu Ziwen, who was leaning down on the bed and trembling all over.

Many of these quietly observing eyes were directed towards Liu Zian, who seemed to be a little restless between Ouyang Rong and Liu Ziwen.

The atmosphere is subtle.

In the Zhou Dynasty, it was not the rule of law society of Ouyang Rong's previous life. Not to mention that Jiangnan Road, where clan culture was strong, still had many towns and villages, which adopted the tradition of township gentry and gentry self-governance, and the royal power did not even extend to the county.

Therefore, many local county governments adhere to the principle of "the people do not promote, the officials do not investigate", which was the official guideline for most officials in the Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, even when the public trial was suspended, Liu Ziwen was attacked by dead soldiers in the street in front of everyone's eyes.

But as long as it didn't happen in the county government or during a public trial, and as long as Liu Ziwen, the person involved, didn't report the case, the Longcheng County government wouldn't have much legal basis to intervene in the case and find the real culprit.

Just when the atmosphere solidified and the scene froze.

Liu Ziwen raised his head suddenly, slowly.

The subtle movement immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

I can't describe what kind of face this is.

It was like dumplings that had been stored in the freezer for a year and were poured into a pot of boiling water. After a puff, the red color of the spoiled meat filling appeared under the frosty white dumpling skin.

Just when Liu Ziwen raised his head, Liu Zian broke the silence first:

"Of course this case must be investigated. Brother, please report it to the official. Let's report the case while the county magistrate is here!"

However, Liu Ziwen ignored Liu Zian's sincere expression and did not even answer Ouyang Rong's question immediately.

His bloodshot eyes turned to the taciturn Liu Zilin, and his voice was as hoarse as a drake:

"You also separated your family?"

Liu Zilin immediately shook his head, "No, brother..."

Liu Zian interjected again:

"Brother, my third brother and I will not leave you. Although the clan brothers in other houses have divided a lot of ancestral property, and the public trial has also paid a lot... But the Guyue Sword Shop was run by you from scratch, eldest brother, and we are still here

Under this house..."

Liu Ziwen didn't look at his second brother and listened silently.

He originally had a sickly look on his face.

Suddenly calm.

Ouyang Rong said to Ouyang Rong, who was watching coldly:

"I won't report it. Sir, walk slowly."

The young head of the Liu family, who had two knives in his chest, spoke every word.

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Master Liu is really kind-hearted."

He nodded and sighed to everyone in the room, who all laughed together.

Immediately, Ouyang Rong didn't stay, didn't even bother to look back, and took Yan Liulang and others out to leave.

Just leave this sentence before going out:

"Master Liu must make it through. Don't die. I'll see you in court another day. I and the people in the county are waiting for you."

But Liu Ziwen, the young head of the Liu family known as "Zhihu", is dead.

Ouyang Rong knew.

Liu Ziwen also knew.

Outside the official residence, there is a long corridor leading to another courtyard where the Jade Immortal is imprisoned.

Ouyang Rong, who was walking at the front of the crowd, stopped suddenly, turned around and curiously asked Yan Liulang and the other officers:

"While you are still alive, how do you feel when you see with your own eyes that the career you have devoted all your efforts to build and the things you care about are destroyed inch by inch?"

He saw Mingfu's face showing the same calm expression as when Liu Ziwen said goodbye just now.

Yan Liulang and his colleagues looked at each other, and the former carefully said:

"It should be...life is worse than death, right?

"As you said to everyone in the Ming Dynasty after the public trial the day before yesterday, for Liu Ziwen, brothers fighting each other, fighting in the same room, and the collapse of the Liu family are killing his heart, which is more important than killing others."

The more Yan Liulang spoke, the smoother he became. As if remembering the face of the young head of the Liu family who was on the sick bed just now, he couldn't help but laugh and said:

"It's still the Ming Dynasty's Gaomou, Liu Ziwen looks no different from dead now."

He sighed and couldn't help but take another look at the young county magistrate's face:

"Well, it seems that the domineering and arrogant Liu family leader will never be seen again, but it has only been two or three months, and the Ming Dynasty has moved too fast."

Ouyang Rong looked at Yan Liulang and others without interrupting, waiting for the latter to finish his words.

"No. I don't feel anything."

He shook his head and said.

"No feeling?"

Yan Liulang and others were stunned, "The Ming Dynasty is just joking. Your life's hard work has been ruined and your career has been overthrown. How can you not feel it even if you are a man?"

Ouyang Rong turned his head, stared at the rainwater gently washing the blue bricks, ancient tiles and patterned floor tiles outside the corridor, and said softly:

"Because what Rokuro said was a private plan."

"Secret plans..."

Yan Liulang murmured and couldn't help asking:

"What about the Ming Mansion? If by any chance, the Dee Gong Gate and Zhiyi Canal did not block the flood behind, and all the things the Ming Mansion led us to build were destroyed, wouldn't the Ming Mansion feel the same?"

Ouyang Rong turned around, walked forward, and strode away.

"Then come again."

Yan Liulang and other detectives on the squad looked blankly at the back of the young county magistrate.

One of them, a young detective from a well-to-do family, suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard while watching a play in a teahouse, and blurted out: "What is private is temporary, and what is public is eternal."

Everyone turned around with stunned expressions on their faces.

…

After the young county magistrate and the police officers left.

Liu Zilin also took out the brothers of the Liu clan.

inside the house.

Only two brothers, Liu Ziwen and Liu Zian, are left.

Liu Zian heard the footsteps disappearing in the yard, turned around, walked forward, and whispered:

"Brother, don't blame me. You fell down a few days ago. My third brother and I couldn't handle the subsequent public trial. Ouyang Lianghan obviously came prepared and had an excuse to grab our hands and put our Liu family on it to roast without spilling any blood.

I really couldn’t do it anymore, so I just...

"Although Mr. Wang protects us from being ransacked, we may still have offended too many people in the past. In the past few days, all these unscrupulous people have jumped out and want to cut off some fat from our Liu family.

."

Speaking of this, Liu Zian gritted his teeth, and a look of sadness appeared on his face:

"These clan brothers who came back to worship their ancestors are all white-eyed wolves. In vain, my eldest brother was so kind to them in the past, and now they have become thieves...

"But don't worry, brother. With Lord Wang's intercession, my third brother and I managed to maintain the business of Guyue Sword Shop. It is not easy to survive in this storm. At the moment, it seems that Ouyang Lianghan

They don't seem to have any doubts about this..."

The words paused here, and Liu Zian frowned again:

"By the way, brother, why didn't you report the case? Is it because you were afraid that Ouyang Lianghan would be called a thief and use him as a starting point to attack us? This Ouyang Lianghan is really ruthless. Not only is he ruthless, but he is also despicable and shameless, and he provokes us brothers.

Friendship…”

Liu Zian just said this.

On the hospital bed, Liu Ziwen, who had sent everyone away with a calm face and listened silently for a moment, suddenly became violent.

Just like on the day of the public trial, he stared into Liu Zian's shocked eyes and held his wrist tightly.

The man on the hospital bed had a ferocious face and roared in a low voice:

"Liu Zian! I don't care if you stabbed the sword or not, from now on, from now on! You will guard the Liu family and the sword shop for me! If the sword is not made, if the Liu family is broken in your hands, not only will I do it
