"Who said I would like to see this happen?"

In the meeting hall, Lin Cheng, who looked sincere, was waiting for Ouyang Rong, who looked calm, to reply.

A female voice, as cold as the frost and snow of thousands of years, came from the door.

Rong Zhen was dressed in a White House dress, walked into the meeting hall, stood in front of Lin Cheng, and spoke condescendingly.

Lin Cheng shrugged helplessly:

"Why are Rong Zhennv Shi here? Aren't you investigating a case?"

"If I don't come, you'll have to say all kinds of nonsense under my banner."

Lin Cheng shook his head: "What are you talking about?"

While speaking in a broad voice, he looked slightly sideways at Ouyang Lianghan's increasingly calm expression.

"I just thought about it from the perspective of Rong Zhennvshi. How can I go beyond that? To tell the truth, doesn't Rongzhennvshi want the Donglin Buddha to be built as soon as possible? Don't you want His Majesty to be happy?"

Rong Zhen said coldly;

"Of course I hope that Your Majesty will be happy, but the cost of completing the Donglin Giant Buddha as soon as possible cannot be a loss of life or money, or affect the livelihood of the people of Xunyang."

"How can there be any influence? It's just that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."

Lin Cheng said calmly:

"Jiangzhou Hall pays wages, and the migrant workers still follow Ouyang Changshi's method and do not force them to work. Well, there are so many workers at Xunyang Ferry, and they are idle in winter. Instead of being idle and making no money, it is better to let them

They come to make statues. Working overtime in Xingzifang in winter to make Buddha statues is better than going all the way to the wilderness to make double-pointed statues in the ice and snow. Isn't this also the disadvantage of Ouyang Changshi's current construction of Xunyang Grottoes?

"Look, doesn't this solve the problem?"

Rong Zhen frowned and said:

"Xingzifang is an old city, full of old and crowded buildings. Where do you want to build the statue? Where should the Donglin Buddha be placed so that it does not affect the people of Xingzifang?"

Lin Cheng smiled and said: "I have found a good place. It is located at Chengtian Temple in the center of Xingzifang, adjacent to Xingzi Lake. The feng shui here is excellent, and it is in line with my golden virtues in Dazhou. It is a good place for golden water.

Feng shui is no worse than Shuangfengjian, or even better."

Rong Zhen first turned his head and glanced at Ouyang Rong, who was so strange that he didn't say a word today.

He immediately turned back, narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Near Chengtian Temple? Isn't that the area in Huang Xuan's old yard? Lin Cheng, when you were investigating the case before, it seemed that you were not entirely focused on the case..."

Lin Cheng clasped his fists toward the north: "I am humbled and dare not forget the country's worries. I am sharing the worries for Your Majesty."

Rong Zhen did not accept this trick and asked seriously:

"But that area is one of the most densely populated areas in Xingzifang, where the poor people are begging for work. If you build a statue there, Chengtian Temple alone must not be enough to demolish it, right?"

Lin Cheng's expression remained unchanged and he said slowly:

"Well, it may take up a little space, but it doesn't matter, it's all within the budget. Anyway, there are some old houses there, and the housing prices are low now. We will fully compensate you. After all, we can't let His Majesty's holy name be tarnished, right?

?Eunuch Hu, Rong Zhennvshi, the matter of Your Majesty’s holy name has always been something that those of us below need to pay attention to, and I will never forget it.”

Rong Zhen always felt that something was wrong. She just felt that things were not as easy and simple as this person said. However, she was not good at this and could not grasp certain key points that could not be discussed.

Her cold voice said:

"Lin Cheng, don't talk nonsense. Since ancient times, demolishing people's houses and building temples and statues has been the practice of a single man. I have never seen it without causing public resentment. Most of them have been criticized in large numbers in history. What are you doing?

You are bringing trouble upon Your Majesty! If His Majesty is not responsible for the infamy, then who is responsible for it?"

"Rong Zhennv Shi, this time is different. We can find another way to take care of them gently."

"What's the difference? What's the difference between what you're doing and what those Yangzhou business gangs did before? They are businessmen, chasing profits, and you are an official, chasing dragon kindness... Don't beat around the bush and say nice things, just go straight

Tell me, if the houses of the poor people are demolished, where will they live? Even if it is a slum, are there cheaper rental houses in Xunyang City?"

"Well, actually these are all small things. We can always find a solution through discussion."

Lin Cheng sighed, as if he was a little helpless towards the unreasonable, cold and cold girl in palace clothes.

However, his attitude was still very sincere and he said seriously:

"So I came here today to propose this plan because I want to discuss it with Ouyang Changshi. If Ouyang Changshi joins, he knows the people best and can help prevent these things. Ouyang Changshi, what do you think?

"

"Oh, I understand, let Ouyang Lianghan bear the blame, right?"

Rong Zhen turned his head with a straight face and looked at Ouyang Rong, who was sitting quietly in his sleeves.

She sounded puzzled and urged:

"Ouyang Lianghan, why didn't you say anything? Do you think you acquiesced? This relocation plan is in line with your wishes. Are you convinced? What about the Xunyang Grottoes?"

Seeing Ouyang Rong lowering his eyes and saying nothing, Rong Zhen's pretty face was very dissatisfied:

"Didn't you discuss with me carefully before that the Xunyang Grottoes are the best solution? It will benefit the country and the people, and will not affect the people's livelihood in Xunyang at all. You can achieve multiple goals with one stone. Where is your energy now?"

Taking a deep breath, she calmed down slightly and said word by word:

"Ouyang Lianghan, don't forget how you swore in front of the Holy Master's Temple against the anger of thousands of scholars and promised the folks in Xunyang that building the Buddha would not cost lives or money, nor would it affect

Xunyang people’s livelihood!

"I have always respected you as a gentleman who prays for the people."

Ouyang Rong seemed to have come to his senses and glanced sideways at her.

Lin Cheng shook his head and said:

"Rong Zhen Nv Shi really misunderstood me, but it doesn't matter. Ouyang Changshi should understand. I have written down this Xingzifang plan in detail. You can take a look at it. Rong Zhen Nv Shi should also take a look. After reading the detailed plan,

I won’t ask these slightly childish questions anymore.”

Without waiting for Rong Zhen or Hu Fu to react, Ouyang Rong suddenly reached out and took the plan document handed over by Lin Cheng.

Opening the folder, he lowered his head and read through it carefully.

When Lin Cheng saw this, he smiled brightly. It was so comfortable to deal with smart people.

There is no shameful scene like ordinary people yelling and being tailed.

Rong Zhen suddenly fell silent, turned to Lin Cheng and said coldly:

"Lin Cheng, what kind of medicine did you sell in your gourd?"

Lin Cheng spread his hands:

"I'm not selling any medicine. I just want to share your Majesty's worries and make some suggestions. Isn't this just a suggestion for everyone to brainstorm? Rong Zhennvshi shouldn't be so excited."

Rong Zhen rolled up his sleeves: "That suggestion is invalid. I don't agree with it."

Lin Cheng sighed and asked for help: "Ouyang Changshi, look at the female historian..."

"The book is well written, but there is a small problem below."

Ouyang Rong suddenly closed the folder and nodded.

"Ouyang Changshi, feel free to ask."

Lin Cheng smiled and spread his palms in front of his face.

Ouyang Rong nodded lightly. While everyone was waiting for him to ask about the details of the plan on the folder in his hand, he asked seriously:

"On the day when I and the Crown Prince clashed with Wei Shaoqi at Yunshui Pavilion, the person Princess Anhui was waiting for in the private room was actually you, Brother Lin."

Lin Cheng looked confused:

"What Ouyang Changshi is talking about, what are you waiting for, I don't understand."

Ouyang Rong sighed softly:

"The husband Prince Liang chose for Princess Anhui turned out to be Brother Lin. Wei Shaoqi brought his cousin to Xunyang just to be with you. The Wei family is really willing to spend money to win over Brother Lin. No wonder Wei Shaoqi

Brother Lin was so instrumental in Qi Meng's reversal of the verdict... So, when I met you in Yunshui Pavilion that day, you were actually here to keep an appointment, and Wei Shaoqi chose Yunshui Pavilion as the place for the secret meeting, which was also the place you chose.

Right or not, Wei Shaoqi's date with Miss Qin at Yunshui Pavilion was only secondary.

"When we first met, I took Brother Lin to Yunshui Pavilion once. Brother Lin said that he liked the environment of this teahouse and would come here often. It was true. Brother Lin was sincere. But Brother Lin probably never expected that he would meet me again.

With the Crown Prince, then. So later on, the Crown Prince unexpectedly interfered with the princess's affairs, which also made Brother Lin hate the Crown Prince and me?"

Lin Cheng frowned, looked around, and said in a puzzled tone:

"What Changshi Ouyang is talking about is all incomprehensible. Stop talking nonsense and talk about business... Changshi Ouyang, this relocation plan is to share your Majesty's worries. I have no intention of denying you and Prince Xunyang's Palace.

It’s not to help the Wei family, I won’t choose sides.”

Ouyang Rong shook his head calmly and interrupted:

"To share His Majesty's worries, isn't it just to win the favor of God and climb up the ladder by any means necessary? The so-called not choosing sides means not to show off one's face, like today.

"But when necessary, in order to achieve the purpose of 'sharing His Majesty's worries', Brother Lin will not be so stupid as not to borrow help. Moreover, the Wei family's daughters have come to his door. This matter will not only lead to promotion and wealth, but also help the Wei family suppress Xunyang."

The royal family and I have given you a betrothal gift and you can eat soft rice and eat hard. This is really a good plan.

"So Brother Lin, it's okay to lie to others, but Brother Lin, don't lie to yourself."
