What belongs to the empress belongs to the empress, and what belongs to Yuan Jun belongs to Yuan Jun.

After Li Yu said this just now, Rong Nushi and Lao Yangtou were silent for a moment.

Then a trace of murderous intent suddenly rose in Rong Zhen's eyes, which were full of doubts and confusion.

Rong Zhen didn't understand why Li Yu, who had always abided by the law and was a good citizen of Zhou Dynasty, did this.

Even if Li Yu told her that he supported Li Zhengyan's rebels under the banner of Kuang Fu Li Gan, it would be better than being "inexplicable" like now.

At least Rong Zhen can understand a little bit and feels better.

Because according to the logic of this classical era, if the king is really unruly and the people are unlucky, it does mean that the divine power of the king has been lost, the country is in decline, the situation is precarious, the Jiuding can be left aside, and the destiny of heaven is no longer there.

But there will be a new destiny, a new dynasty, and a new emperor.

In the eyes of the two men, who were born in the violent organs of the Zhou Dynasty and had long been blessed with divine grace, the current emperor is the representative of the divine right of kings.

The monarch is the representative and supreme leader of the country and has supreme power.

Theocratic and royal power were combined together into an almost unbreakable feudal imperial power.

But this so-called "Yuanjun" belief can say "no" to it...

So this is one of the reasons why Ouyang Rong stepped forward and rescued Li Yu.

He is curious.

I am curious about what kind of faith this Yuanjun has. There are so many potential believers in the hometown of Wuyue, who can fight against the feudal imperial power of the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He even said something like, "What belongs to the Empress belongs to the Empress, and what belongs to Yuan Jun belongs to Yuan Jun."

Ouyang Rong sighed softly.

This Li Yu was a little surprise he encountered today...

"Ouyang Lianghan, I don't understand, what are you doing?"

"Didn't I just say it in the water prison? I am trying my best to see if I can save the people under my control and let the lost sheep find their way back."

"I have already tried it, but it doesn't work."

"Standing by and watching with nothing to do with yourself, a lowly official can't do anything."

Inside the state prison, there is a dark, narrow, and smelly corridor.

After Ouyang Rong pulled Li Yu ashore from the puddle, he temporarily left the water prison and went straight to the prison cell.

Rong Zhen also caught up and asked the handsome young man who was walking in front of him with a carefree and unrestrained pace, his pretty face looked a little confused.

The figures of the two are one behind the other.

After a while, Rong Zhen took the initiative and asked:

"Do you have any objections to my actions?"

"No."

Ouyang Rong shook his head.

"That means... when you just watched the waterboarding, you also felt compassion?"

Rong Zhen said in a cold tone:

"I tell you, it's useless. I used to be the same as you, with some compassion, but now I see that the poor people must be hateful. Don't waste your efforts. In the end, you will still be the same as me. deal with."

Ouyang Rong looked calm:

"No, I don't want to correct him, I just want to have a chat. If possible, it's better to take the last ride and have a few drinks or something, than to die in this dark water prison."

"Is it meaningful? It's not taking up your time."

"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. But if you don't do it, there definitely won't be."

Rong Zhen fell silent.

At this time, the two came to the cell where the jailers were.

The jailers were in an extremely serious state today. Those on duty straightened their backs, and the jailers who walked to deliver meals also roared loudly.

Everyone performs their duties diligently.

Facing Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen who passed by them, these jailers looked intently and focused on their sacred mission.

Ouyang Rong looked around, walked forward, and patted the shoulder of a jailer on duty who was concentrating on browsing the roster.

He asked pleasantly: "Sorry to bother you, where are Li Yu's clothes and other items?"

"Ah...oh, sir, wait a moment."

The jailer nodded quickly, and before leaving, he looked at Rong Zhen for instructions. The latter lowered his eyes and remained silent. The jailer trotted away to get the clothes of the felon at the end of the cell.

Speaking of which, compared to these jailers, today is truly unprecedented, as there are still people who can stand out from that water prison where there is no life or death.

In the past, people who went in would come out lying down.

"Thanks."

After getting a small baggage containing Li Yu's clothes and personal belongings, Ouyang Rong said goodbye gently.

But before leaving, he pointed to the roster in the hand of the jailer on duty and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone:

"Um, you held the book upside down."

Guard on duty:……

After a while, Ouyang Rong left the red-faced jailer on duty and returned to the water cell with Rong Zhen carrying a small bundle.

On the way, Ouyang Rong asked:

"By the way, Rong Nu Shi sent Li Yu to prison and put him in a water cell. What will happen to his family?"

On the way back, Rong Zhen stopped following Ouyang Rong and walked forward without looking back:

"How do you think I will handle it?"

Ouyang Rong leaned back slightly and made a diagonal slashing gesture with his palms in front of him.

When Rong Zhenzhen looked back, his chest couldn't help but rise and fall.

"Okay, you'd better not fall into my hands. I'll follow your instructions next time."

Ouyang Rong blinked:

"Rong Nu Shi misunderstood. What I meant was that he secretly split their shackles. They are innocent. Let him go quietly without making any big fanfare. Well, he only dealt with Li Yu and ignored them."

Rong Zhen has a straight face:

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Ouyang Rong said seriously: "How dare you."

Rong Zhen was silent for a moment.

After a while, her somewhat deep voice sounded in the dim corridor echoing the two people's footsteps.

"This time it's Li Yu's fault and his deceased wife's fault. The rest of the Li family didn't know that these distinguished guests from Yun Mengze invited by their master would be traitors.

"They are not even considered accomplices. They are causing harm to Chiyu... Although the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulate that they must be sent to the Jiaofang Department and confiscated as slaves..."

Ouyang Rong sighed: "It's true, it's really hard to get along these days. Even relatives and friends who are beyond reach may be wiped out by the nine tribes together without knowing it..."

"Don't ask. Anyway, I will arrange it properly. Just don't worry. If you directly write to them to plead for mercy, the matter will become bigger and harder to deal with."

"It makes sense. Rong Nu Shi has experience."

"It's selfish."

Rong Zhen corrected.

"This is the selfless selfishness of great love. Not selfish, Rong Nu Shi is loving."

"Love?" Rong Zhen frowned slightly: "What a strange word, what does it mean?"

"It means... Rong Nushi has a cold face and a warm heart."

Rong Zhen, who was walking in front, seemed to have his head lowered a little.

"Ouyang Lianghan, don't talk nonsense. I have noticed that you have been pushing your limits a bit recently. Did you know that?"

"Okay, I will definitely change it."

Ouyang Rong was serious.

When Rong Zhen heard this, he felt angry.

This guy always promised, did he really listen?

The two of them walked in silence for a while.

Rong Zhen suddenly spoke, his tone was stiff, and he was a thousand miles away:

"Ouyang Lianghan, I find that you seem to have no respect for me now, as before. This is not okay, it must not be okay."

Ouyang Rong was helpless: "Maybe it's because I'm more familiar with it, so I can't help but speak more relaxedly. In addition, isn't Rong Nu Shi the same way with her subordinates? We need to change it together."
