River beach camp, a corner under the high platform.
In front of a table that doesn't attract much attention.
"You really worked hard this morning, Fairy."
Facing Ouyang Lianghan, who seemed hungry and tired from frequently picking up food, Liu Ziwen looked at him twice, his frown slowly relaxed, and he spoke calmly.
"It doesn't matter." Ouyang Lianghan waved his hand as if it didn't matter.
He raised his eyelids, his eyes like water flowing over the faces of Liu Ziwen, Liu Zian, and Liu Zilin in turn. He paused and spoke in a praising tone:
"The arrangements for the morning were very clever, so that the dog officer couldn't escape."
Liu Zilin crossed his chest and snorted:
"Huh, that guy named Ouyang didn't even take a piss and look at himself. Not everyone is qualified to let Big Brother go to such trouble to set up the trap himself. If he can die at Big Brother's hands, it's considered a gain for him."
"Yes, absolutely." Ouyang Lianghan nodded vigorously, as if he agreed with it a hundred times.
But his hands kept picking up the food, and he even reached out to take the wine glass in front of Liu Zilin, who was relatively close, and drank it all in one gulp.
Liu Zilin didn't care and lowered his voice and asked:
"When we cut the ribbon later, what if Xie Lingjiang still follows us like Nougat? Does the female fairy have any ideas?"
The young magistrate shook his head.
Halfway through shaking, he paused and asked calmly:
"Wait a minute... let's do it during the ribbon-cutting?"
"nonsense."
Liu Zilin frowned, unable to hold back his temper, and lectured like beans poured out of a bamboo tube:
"There are the most people when the ribbon is being cut. If you don't take action at this time, when will you take action? The purpose is to let everyone in the audience see with their own eyes Shen Xisheng's death, and he died in your hands.
"You run faster then, so you don't get caught... His grandma, after talking for a long time, still has to get rid of that little girl named Xie."
Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows, nodded slowly, and echoed:
"Yes, you can't be caught. This is a capital crime of beheading."
Liu Zilin wanted to say venomously, "It doesn't matter if you die, but don't let the blood spill on the Liu family."
However, during these days, my buttocks were repeatedly beaten by life, and I finally gained some emotional intelligence and swallowed it back.
Liu Ziwen suddenly spoke:
"Don't worry, except for Xie's daughter, no one can catch you. When Shen Xisheng dies, no one will really catch you."
"Oh?" Ouyang Lianghan asked with great interest: "So Mr. Wang and us..."
Liu Ziwen chuckled lightly, did not answer, and continued with his usual expression: "As for Xie's daughter... you can take this."
The young head of the Liu family stretched out his right hand from his wide sleeve and handed something that he had been playing with for a long time to the young county magistrate in front of him.
The latter looked curiously and found a small white porcelain bottle covered with green cloth lying on the hand Liu Ziwen handed him.
"This is?"
"Take it, you can take the opportunity of pouring wine and give it to Xie Lingjiang, and I will leave the rest to you." Liu Ziwen said calmly.
Liu Zian, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but glance at his elder brother.
On the other side, the young county magistrate chuckled lightly, reached out and took the green cloth and white porcelain vial in front of the three Liu brothers, and nodded.
Liu Ziwen showed a smile, picked up the wine bottle, slowly filled the empty wine glass in front of him, then rolled up his sleeves to hold the glass, and handed the glass to the person opposite.
"Here, give the fairy another drink."
Ouyang Lianghan seemed to take the glass of wine as a farewell drink without thinking, drank it down in one gulp, put away the small green cloth and white porcelain bottle, and stood up straight away.
Before leaving the table, he reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the plate in front of Liu Zi's tattoo, smacked the melon seeds in his mouth and left quickly.
The figure disappeared from sight.
The three Liu brothers looked away with relief.
However, what the three people didn't know was...
The figure of "Ouyang Lianghan" disappeared from their sight. After walking out of the open-air lunch venue, he stopped slightly in place.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the big tent where Jiangzhou Shangguan was being entertained, and then looked in the direction of the inner gate of Di Gong Gate. While looking left and right, suddenly the voice of Diao Xian Cheng coming on stage came from the high platform behind him.
It seemed that he was clearing the table and picking up the plates, and was greeting the guests who were full of wine and food to leave and officially participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
I saw that the young county magistrate who stopped no longer hesitated and raised his feet to walk in a certain direction...
And just in front of a stick of incense, there is a large tent in the river beach camp that occupies a large area.
There was a luncheon with fewer people but a higher standard, which was taking place at the same time as the open-air luncheon attended by Liu Ziwen, Liu Zi'an, Liu Zilin and other guests outside.
There were few people at the table, but the atmosphere did not cool down much.
"Come, Lord Shen, Lord Wang, I would like to give you both a drink."
The speaker was Magistrate Tian from Xingzi County, and he was toasting two Jiangzhou officials in a familiar manner.
The same was true for several other county magistrates from neighboring counties, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
However, one person seems to be an exception.
"Master Ouyang, is he in a bad mood? Last time Tian came over, Master Ouyang seemed to be quite good at drinking."
Magistrate Tian, who was a little drunk, leaned closer to the Jade Fairy.
The latter leaned back subconsciously, but with a smile on his face: "I have business to do later, so it's not convenient to drink today."
"Master Ouyang is really a role model for our generation."
Several other county magistrate colleagues praised him.
Shen and Wang, two Jiangzhou officials, also seemed to cast admiring glances.
The Jade Girl Fairy was speechless.
Fortunately, Mr. Shen, the supervisory envoy and Mr. Wang, the governor of Jiangzhou, who came to inspect today seemed to be a little bit troublesome. There was very little communication and interaction, and they had a rather business-like attitude.
Naturally Magistrate Tian and others, who are all human beings, can vaguely see it.
Therefore, although the atmosphere at the banquet was not completely cold, it did not reach the level of familiarity with changing glasses.
As a result, the Jade Lady Fairy discovered that most of the topics spoken by the people around her were polite, and they did not talk about anything familiar that could easily expose her secrets.
In other words, in this lukewarm atmosphere, she behaved coldly and spoke concisely, which was not too abrupt.
Although along the way, the Jade Lady Fairy faintly noticed that Shen Xisheng, who was looking at her frequently, seemed to have something to say to her, no, it should be said to Ouyang Lianghan.
However, since Mr. Wang and others were nearby, they were not given the opportunity to "communicate in depth."
The Jade Fairy is also happy with this.
It was already uncomfortable enough to pretend to be polite along the way, and she also had to deal with the troublesome Xie Lingjiang. Now she just wanted to get through this windy and dusty lunch, and then insert the dagger Liu Ziwen gave her into Go into Shen Xisheng's chest and call it a day.
But right now, the Jade Lady Fairy still has a minor problem to solve.
While Magistrate Tian was going to toast Master Shen and Master Wang again, the Jade Fairy glanced at the figure of a man in red clothes behind her from the corner of her eye.
Xie Ling Jiang was sitting on the chair with her eyes closed with a calm expression. She seemed to turn a deaf ear to what was going on at the lunch next to her. She silently stayed within three steps of "Ouyang Lianghan". She had not done anything since the lunch. Eat with chopsticks.
The jade goddess had a glow on her back and frowned secretly.
This is what has been troubling her from just now until now.
It's not like the Jade Lady Fairy has never tried to find excuses to get rid of Xie Lingjiang, but it all ended in vain. Even when she said she wanted to go out to relieve herself, Xie Lingjiang followed her silently without explanation, citing the excuse of protecting her safety.
So let alone finding foreign aid such as Liu Ziwen.
This Xie girl is really like a piece of brown candy, she can't get rid of it.
The Jade Girl Fairy cursed in her heart.
But she wasn't completely helpless.
Since there was no movement from Liu Ziwen after waiting for a long time, he probably couldn't do anything to help her, so she had to rely on herself.
The masked Jade Fairy had an expressionless face. She didn't know when she got up, but a stack of small paper packages quietly appeared in her sleeves. She picked out one of the many paper packages with two fingers and put away all the others.
There seems to be some powder wrapped in the paper bag.
There was a time when the Jade Lady Fairy was crazy and indulged in some strange and cunning tricks, so she naturally had a lot of all kinds of strange medicines on her body.
The small packet of powder in my sleeve right now is something called Cicada Silkworm Cartilage Powder. It is colorless and odorless, but the taste is very light and can easily be offset by the smell of alcohol.
This Cicada Silkworm Cartilage Powder is not very toxic, but it can hinder the flow of spiritual energy in the meridians at the moment when the spiritual practitioner suddenly activates his spiritual energy.
It's like there is silt blocking the river channel.
As a result, it achieves an effect similar to the "weak cartilage" of ordinary people.
Moreover, it is not easy for practitioners to detect this. Unless they encounter external circumstances and prepare to suddenly move the spiritual energy in the body, they will only be aware of the abnormality of the spiritual energy circulation speed. Otherwise, the spiritual energy circulation speed in the body is very slow on weekdays, and it remains tortuous. How was the information status discovered?
Of course, physical properties are twins, everything has two sides, and the same is true for Cicada Silkworm Cartilage Powder, whose inherently weak toxicity can easily be diluted.
Therefore, as long as the practitioner meditates and circulates the spiritual energy twice more, it can dredge the muscles and dilute the medicinal effects just like violent water washing and blocking the muddy river channel.
Therefore, this item is generally used for sneak attacks to strike first, but this seems a bit useless, because since it can poison the opponent without anyone noticing, it is natural to choose a more suitable and more powerful poison. Although there is no way Tasteless and strange poisons are extremely rare.
But now, the Jade Fairy found that this thing seemed to be just right.
At the table, the Jade Fairy had her back to Xie Lingjiang. She silently glanced at the small wine glass on the table that had just been filled by Magistrate Tian.
However, for a moment, there was a look of embarrassment in her eyes.
At this moment, Xie Lingjiang, who had his eyes closed, suddenly spoke:
"Senior brother, why don't you pick up the food?"
The Jade Fairy shook her head: "I don't want to eat it, I have a bad appetite today."
Xie Lingjiang looked at the senior brother's back and asked: "Don't you have an appetite for these spicy dishes made by the Yuanminglou chef? Don't you like eating them?"
The Jade Girl Fairy wanted to speak, but her heart moved and she immediately shook her head and explained:
"Of course not. Senior brother, I... like spicy food. Junior sister also knows that. The main reason is that I ate too much in the morning. I felt a little full just after taking a few bites of vegetables. Besides, junior sister didn't eat either. Didn't she?
Appetite." She smiled and turned around to ask.
Xie Lingjiang looked at him, nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.
The Jade Fairy kept her expression as normal, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, almost revealing her secret.
Fortunately, she didn't just come up rashly today, but came prepared.
Before today's trip, the Liu family collected a lot of information about Ouyang Lianghan's preferences and habits, including his diet and daily life, including eating spicy food. It seems that the Liu family found out that Meiluyuan had hired a high-paying employee at Yunshui Pavilion in the county.
A cook who knows how to cook spicy food... these are all things that the Jade Immortal has kept in mind.
However, the female fairy Jade, who has always been suspicious and vigilant, was just thankful and scared for a short while, and her heartstrings trembled inexplicably.
She couldn't help but glance at Xie Lingjiang from behind, and a suspicious look gradually appeared in her eyes... Wait, could it be said that it was already...
However, at this moment, Mr. Shen, who had been quietly picking up the dishes, suddenly turned his head and looked over. Seeing this, the Jade Lady Fairy immediately smiled in response, but secretly frowned, impatient of possible conversation.
But as Shen Xisheng opened her mouth, the Jade Fairy's face showed some surprise.
Shen Xisheng did not talk to her, but looked at Xie Lingjiang behind her with a smile and talked to him kindly.
The Fairy Jade Emperor listened carefully and realized that this Jiangnan Road inspector seemed to know Xie Lingjiang's father and had some friendship with him.
Xie Lingjiang was also quite surprised by this. It seemed that she had not known about this before.
However, this did not prevent Shen Xisheng and Xie Lingjiang from laughing and chatting.
The Jade Fairy listened calmly for a while.
After a while, the two men paused in their conversation, as if they were at the end of their greetings.
The Jade Fairy suddenly had an idea.
She reached out to pick up the wine glass as if she was in a blissful mood. Halfway through, her wide long sleeves quietly brushed the rim of the glass. The color of the wine did not change. She stood up, looked back with a smile, and handed the wine glass to Xie Lingjiang:
"Junior sister, since we are uncles we have known for a long time, it is not easy for us to meet him once, so naturally we have to toast him with a glass of wine, which can be regarded as a token of affection."
Xie Lingjiang's expression was slightly startled.
Shen Xisheng smiled heartily and waved his hand, "You're welcome, you're welcome."
The Jade Lady Fairy shook her head and did not take back her hand, "This is as it should be. My junior sister is from the Xie family in Chen County. The family tradition and tutoring are that elders and younger ones should not be ignored, so I still have to give you a toast."
Facing the wine glass handed to him, Xie Lingjiang, who seemed dazed, did not take it immediately.
She raised her eyes to look at the familiar and sincere face of the senior brother in front of her, and lowered her eyes to the clear drink.
After a pause, she nodded slightly: "Senior brother is right."
Xie Lingjiang took the wine glass and stood up, motioning for a toast to Shen Xisheng. She raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, raised her head as if to drink the wine silently, and waited for the glass.
When the Jade Fairy saw the empty wine glass in Xie Lingjiang's hand, she felt happy and her suspicions disappeared.
She immediately raised her glass, turned around and said with a smile: "Master Shen, I would also like to toast you a glass."
Xie Lingjiang did not look at the "elder brother" who was toasting generously with Shen Xisheng.
She turned her head silently and glanced north outside the tent.
After a while, the cups were exchanged, and the luncheon was over.
The figure of Diao Xiancheng also appeared at the door of the tent at the right time. He smiled at the crowd and reported:
"My lords, the guests outside have already made preparations, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony has been prepared. They are just waiting for your lords to move there. Do you have any other instructions?"
Naturally, everyone in the tent had no objections. They stood up happily and filed out, following Prime Minister Diao County.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony officially begins.
I recommend a book by a good friend, "Hogwarts: Harry Returns from the Witcher", a very good Hogwarts fanfic~
