Chapter 123 People die in the morning and corpses commit suicide in the evening
In the Liu family's study room.
The conspirators were silent for a moment.
A solitary lamp on the desk cast an orange halo that could only cover a small half of the room.
When Liu Zi'an was illuminated, the light on Liu Zilin's face was dim. As for the Jade Fairy, she was habitually hiding in the darkness behind the house in a black robe.
However, after the three of them heard Liu Ziwen's words, they were all stunned, as if they suspected that their ears had heard wrongly.
After the three people looked at each other and exchanged glances silently, they determined that it was impossible for three people to have auditory hallucinations at the same time.
"Brother, this is the best idea... to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
Liu Zian asked in a low voice.
"It's a matter of substituting something for another."
Liu Ziwen shook his head and said again:
"It doesn't count as borrowing a knife to kill, because the knife is actually still ours, but it was just replaced quietly."
Seeing that only Liu Zian seemed to understand but not understand, Liu Zilin and the Yuxi female fairy were still puzzled.
Liu Ziwen sat down in front of the desk, crossed his hands and supported his chin.
The paper oil lamp on the right side of the desk illuminated his ordinary Chinese character face to every detail.
This brought a lot of pressure to everyone in the room who gathered their gazes.
It's not that the eyes of the head of the Liu family are aggressive or oppressive.
On the contrary, his eyes were calm and unruffled.
But like the young county magistrate in Longcheng County, Liu Ziwen could bring some invisible pressure to the people around him just by being silent.
Because everyone around him must pay attention to his attitude and expression at all times. This is actually a survival instinct of respecting the strong and admiring the wise.
So Ouyang Rong and Liu Ziwen are the same type of people to a certain extent.
Having resources and authority, and being able to optimally allocate and utilize them, is like the queen of an ant nest, able to build a set of order around her, making people dependent on her, and gaining an advantage in the struggle for external resources.
The Jade Lady Fairy has always felt that this kind of people are more terrifying than Qi Practitioners.
Because most of the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the hands of this type of people, in addition to the world's inner and outer world, the order of the ten realms in the world was constructed by this type of people, so they have the power.
rather than the other way around.
"The ribbon-cutting ceremony scene that I told you a few days ago was still not exciting enough. Now I will slightly change it. Second brother and third brother, you can listen to it."
Liu Ziwen suddenly spoke, looked at everyone, and muttered softly:
"On July 15th, during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Supervisory Envoy Master Shen and the Governor Wang came to Di Gongzha. Ouyang County Magistrate, together with all the county gentry, sages, villagers, and villagers, wholeheartedly welcomed them and gave them a warm welcome.
"The ribbon-cutting ceremony had not yet begun. At the waterside ceremony platform, in full view of everyone, Magistrate Ouyang suddenly became violent and stabbed Mr. Shen, the supervisor at his side. Then, while the whole audience was shocked, he jumped into the Butterfly Creek and fled in fear of crime.
"The murder weapon was poisonous. Mr. Shen failed to rescue him. He died suddenly on the spot. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was chaotic. Mr. Wang, the governor of Jiangzhou, was grieved. He stood up calmly and stabilized the audience. As the highest official present, he temporarily took over the situation in Longcheng. Liu and others
The gentry and rural sages actively cooperated.
"Master Wang is wise and powerful, and uses thunderous methods to eradicate all the remnants of the former county magistrate's direct descendants. He directs the Longcheng County government office to concentrate on investigating serious murders. Ouyang Lianghan is wanted throughout the county and the whole state. He also takes care of the funeral affairs of his colleague Master Shen. He is very orderly.
.
"Subsequently, with the help of kind-hearted people or the Liu family, the body of Ouyang Lianghan who committed suicide in fear of crime was found somewhere in Longcheng County. Corresponding personal and material evidence was left at the scene, indicating his motive for attacking Shangguan...or a private person.
Grudges...or mental trance and madness.
"No matter what, the evidence has been conclusive before. The public execution of officials is a certainty. Mr. Wang has completely solved the case and brought it to a perfect conclusion.
"Master Wang temporarily took charge of the affairs of Longcheng County. He accepted the wise voices of the people, corrected all the perverse actions of the former county magistrate, abolished the Broken Wing Canal, and restored a bright future to the thousands of people in Longcheng County! He was also supported by the virtuous gentry in the countryside.
Reluctant to give up, Mr. Wang Shiran returned to Jiangzhou and reported to the court to handle the follow-up matters.
"And in the Longcheng County left behind, all the people who were an eyesore and blocked the road were dead. Well, it was completely white, so clean."
Under the dim candlelight, Liu Ziwen sighed with emotion to the other three people in the room. His face seemed to be longing for a while, and he sighed deeply:
"How's it going? Does it sound pleasant?"
Liu Zian, Liu Zilin and the Yuxi female fairy looked at each other with a mixture of shock and confusion.
The room was quiet for a while, and Liu Zian was the first to break the silence.
He stared at the puzzled Jade Fairy, but he asked Liu Ziwen, who was above him:
"First steal a beam and replace it with a pillar, and then use a knife to kill people... Brother, how do you change this from a beam to a pillar? I think this is the key point, how do you replace 'liang' with 'pillar'."
"Good question."
Liu Ziwen glanced at his second brother approvingly, and then his eyes fell on the black-robed priestess at the back of the room:
"Excuse me, Fairy Jade, for a trip. Before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, you need to deal with Ouyang Lianghan first. Then you can transform into his appearance. The fake one can be mistaken for the real one. Then take Shen Xisheng to Di Gong Gate to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The whole process does not require you to transform for too long.
, Shen Xisheng should be the most defenseless against 'you'.
"As for how to perform the play at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, you have heard what I just said. Just follow the performance. Just pay attention to one thing. You have to kill people in front of the whole audience and in front of Ouyang Lianghan's face, and then dive into the water.
Run away, someone will pick you up, and Mr. Wang and I will handle the rest."
The Jade Fairy frowned, but her face was covered with colorful paint, and no wrinkles could be seen for a while.
She said coldly:
"Yes, yes, it is not casual to kill a weak scholar. Ouyang Lianghan and Shen Xisheng can kill them casually. But the problem is, that Confucian Qi practitioner named Xie Lingjiang, I
Xian may be temporarily defeated.
"She seems to be following Ouyang Lianghan all day long. I just told you that this woman may have taken some weird shortcut and has been promoted to the seventh rank.
"Unless... you are now fully helping me to practice broken products?"
Liu Ziwen frowned slightly and interrupted: "Even if you reach the seventh level, don't you still have a draw at most? Can you guarantee victory?"
"..."
The Jade Fairy's face seemed to be a little red in the darkness, and her voice became colder:
"Hmph, my Immortal sect is not good at vulgar fighting... Well, you also said that I can't defeat Xie Lingjiang, then Master Liu should think about what to do, how to kill Ouyang Liang
John, I don’t have this ability anyway?”
Liu Ziwen did not look at her, but looked at Liu Zilin and asked:
"How is the swordsman from Chang'an doing lately?"
"Brother, it's still the same as before. In Nanxuan Xiaoyuan, we have plenty of fish and meat every day, and we have plenty of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. I am envious of my third brother. He is a little bit fond of the sword forged in the Jia San Sword Furnace, but he has never been able to put it down.
Urging us, it’s like we’re drunk and dreaming of death on the roof.”
Liu Ziwen was silent for a while, nodded and said:
"There is no need to delay any longer. Swords are foreign objects. Important matters are important. The Liu family does not lack this sword. Even if it is a little special... you can go look for it tomorrow morning."
"yes, Sir."
Liu Zilin still looked a little aching.
For that sword forged by the old gentleman, let alone a middle-grade Qi practitioner, it might not be difficult to hire Yunmeng Jianze, the legendary first lady with hair as bright as a candle.
Liu Ziwen faced the suspicious-looking Jade Fairy and wrote lightly:
"I won't let you go alone. When the time comes, a swordsman will accompany you to take Ouyang Lianghan's head. You two will discuss whether to divert the tiger away from the mountain or crush it with thunderous force.
"A top mid-level Qi practitioner swordsman, plus an eighth-level Fang magician, to deal with a Confucian Qi practitioner who seems to have just been promoted to the seventh level... It doesn't matter if he kills the chicken with a sledgehammer.
"But Xie's daughter will not be killed as much as possible, and don't be merciful if she gets in the way. When Ouyang Lianghan takes over, you will replace Tao Zong and steal the throne. Do you understand?"
"Okay. The head of the Liu family is looking for a reliable sword."
The Jade Fairy snorted coldly, seeming a little unhappy.
Liu Zian glanced at the black-robed priestess shrewdly and promised on behalf of his eldest brother:
"Don't worry, Fairy, the Liu family will give you nothing less. As long as it goes through, you will have the chance to use that family's special blood as a blood sacrifice."
Speaking of this, he immediately turned away from the topic and turned around and pointed out:
"Brother, in this wonderful drama of yours, there is one point that requires some discussion."
Liu Ziwen didn't look surprised and asked:
"Second brother, are you talking about the place where Ouyang Lianghan committed suicide out of fear of crime?"
"That's right."
Liu Zian nodded and sighed:
"The reason why he absconded and committed suicide out of fear of crime after the ribbon-cutting ceremony is clearly the murder of an assassin before the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
There was a serious look on his face, and he checked for any omissions and said:
"Brother, the time for the Jade Fairy and the Chang'an Swordsman to start is closer to the ribbon-cutting ceremony on the afternoon of July 15th. The closer the better, preferably on the same day.
"This can save the time of the Jade Fairy's disguise and reduce the risk of being discovered."
Liu Ziwen’s tone of approval:
"What the second brother said is true. In the next few days, I will find someone to obtain Ouyang Lianghan's itinerary before the ribbon-cutting ceremony from elsewhere.
"The eyeliners who are still in Longcheng County Yamen can no longer be used. It is very likely that they have been exposed. This time, Ouyang Lianghan discovered the Burning Sky Shark Oil in advance, which illustrates the problem. For such an opponent who is like a grindstone
, we can no longer take chances."
Liu Zian nodded slightly, then lowered his eyes and thought for a while. After exhausting his brain power, he found nothing missing.
His face was troubled and he sighed with emotion:
"Brother's plan is really the best one. Not only does tonight's crisis turn into a disaster, but the best thing is that the Burning Sky Shark Oil that has been lying in Di Gong Gate has become Ouyang Lianghan's reassurance, stabilizing his relationship with the county.
Yamen.
"Until the Chang'an swordsman cut off his head, Ouyang Lianghan probably never imagined that we would do it on the eve of the ribbon-cutting ceremony..."
Liu Zian turned around and said seriously:
"Brother, what a great plan to hide the truth from the enemy."
Liu Ziwen shook his head indifferently:
"It's just something that comes by chance."
Liu Zian was a little amazed:
"People die in the morning, and corpses commit suicide in the evening. It's interesting."
…
Here I am, I didn’t sleep, so I caught the little tail in the early morning! It’s a bit too much, so I’ll be late... The next update will be in the evening.
(Brothers, these chapters are a bit depressing... It’s almost an important plot point, Xiaorong tries to speed up the progress!)
