Just as everyone in the hall exchanged glances and gradually unified their opinions, Ouyang Rong raised his head and said:
"A little question."
"you say."
"I don't know whether Yunmeng Jianze and Li Zhengyan's Kuangfu Army are colluding in private.
"Let's assume it exists for now, but why did Li Zhengyan and Kuang Fujun stop the construction of the Donglin Buddha in Jiangzhou? And they also sent Qi practitioners from Yunmeng Jianze over?"
Ouyang Rong sighed, looked directly at Rong Zhen and asked with lowered eyes:
"I've wanted to ask this question for a long time. Does the Donglin Giant Buddha have some purpose that I don't know about?"
Without waiting for Rong Zhen to answer, Lin Cheng, who was observing his words, suddenly interjected:
"When Li Thief was in Guizhou, he destroyed and overthrew the Guizhou Giant Buddha, deceived the public and deceived people's hearts with his monstrous words, and boosted morale once. He repeatedly opposed the construction of the Great Zhou Songde Tianshu and the Sifang Buddha statues.
"The Donglin Giant Buddha is of course a thorn in their side, not to mention that King Xunyang is still supervising its construction. This is the tiger skin flag they used when they raised their troops. It is the only pitiful excuse for legitimacy left by Kuang Fu's army.
Source, what a slap in the face.
"Of course Thief Li and his accomplices want to destroy it. Not only can they publicize it, but they can also damage the reputation and morale of Jiangzhou, which is an important city behind the conquest army, and promote some kind of destiny that is contrary to the Zhou Dynasty."
Lin Cheng said to Ouyang Rong seriously:
"Ouyang Changshi now understands the importance of what he has done. The Donglin Buddha is the most important thing. The whole world is watching. There can be no mistakes! Otherwise, His Majesty's face will be damaged."
Ouyang Rong seemed not to have heard these words. He looked past him and looked at a cold and cold girl with sleeves and lowered eyes.
Rong Zhen raised his hand to interrupt Lin Cheng, raised his head and looked directly into Ouyang Rong's eyes, and spoke after a moment:
"Okay, Ouyang Changshi, all you need to know is that the golden Buddha head sent to Jiangzhou from Luoyang will never be lost or damaged...
"As long as you know this, supervise the construction of the Buddha carefully and complete it on schedule. As for other matters, leave them to me and Lin Cheng. Those are the scope of Si Tianjian's duties, and you don't need to worry too much."
Ouyang Rong looked at her for a while and nodded:
"Okay, I understand.
"However, if it is that Buddha head... Well, the Donglin Buddha is so important that it makes it difficult for Li Zhengyan and other Kuangfu army rebels to sleep and eat.
"Then, as the Qi practitioners they sent, the Yunmengze Yue girls and the owner of Dielianhua who may be inextricably linked, why don't they come straight to me and kill the one who has full authority to create the statue, and then do the same
The razing of Prince Xunyang's Mansion was exactly what Li Zhengyan wanted.
"These are not difficult, especially when we were at Huang Xuan's house in Xingzifang. At that time, the formation was broken, Rong Nu Shi was unconscious, and all the elite Si Tianjian Qi practitioners in the city were damaged. There was no one on the bright side or the dark side for the time being.
can prevent them from causing chaos.
"But why did it disappear completely in the end, but you still managed to save a small life?"
Ouyang Rong asked calmly:
"Is it mercy?
"Moreover, it was too stupid to not stop the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha for such a long time, but to wait until it was almost completed before taking action.
"If I were Li Zhengyan and the others, I would never be so negligent or so stupid. Why would they rebel?"
Everyone frowned and exchanged glances.
Lin Cheng nodded slowly, as if he felt that what he said was reasonable.
The field was quiet for a while, and Wang Lengran waved his hand impatiently:
"Please Ouyang Changshi, please don't take yourself too seriously.
"Perhaps in Li Zhengyan's view, even if you, Ouyang Lianghan, are not there, there is another Zhang Lianghan. How about Li Lianghan supervising the construction of the Buddha?
"Besides, the golden Buddha head is very valuable, so why are they just waiting to be seized? Why are they trying to alert the enemy so early?
"As for what you said, why not level the Xunyang Prince's Mansion? Oh, Ouyang Changshi often goes to the Prince's Mansion. I think he must know better than us here what secret guards the Prince's Mansion has?
"Are Li Zhengyan and the female nuns Yunmeng fools?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head, his expression unchanged:
"One explanation is okay, but three explanations put together are far-fetched.
"After the accident at Huang Xuan's house that day, the guards in Xunyang City were empty. They could obviously do more, if they were really all Li Zhengyan's accomplices."
"you……"
Before Wang Lengran finished speaking, Rong Zhen had already spoken:
"Ouyang Lianghan, if you have any speculations or ideas, please tell me directly without hesitation."
Ouyang Rong looked at her and said:
"Tell me, is it possible that the owner of Dielianhua never wanted to destroy the Donglin Giant Buddha from the beginning to the end.
"Even pushing it a step further...he has no interest connection with the Yue girls in Yunmeng Jianze, they are just two groups of people."
Ouyang Rong lowered his eyelashes slightly:
"So that day in the yard of Huang Xuan's house, the owner of Dielianhua was fighting with the belated Yunmeng Yue girls.
"Otherwise, how can we explain the above doubts?
"Otherwise, I, Rong Nushi, and Yan Liulang wouldn't have been able to survive so easily by passing out and surviving."
Rong Zhen clenched his fists slightly under his sleeves, then loosened them immediately. Instead of commenting, he asked:
"Why do the owners of Dielianhua and the Yunmeng Yue girls conflict?"
"Maybe it's the Cauldron Sword."
Rong Zhen frowned:
"Which party does the owner of Dielianhua belong to? Fighting alone?"
Before Ouyang Rong could answer, Rong Zhen came to his senses and asked:
"Huang Xuan followed the Qing Taoist priests, is it the Sanqing Taoist sect?"
"I don't know." Ouyang Rong shook his head: "I'm just saying it's possible."
Rong Zhen looked thoughtful: "Okay, what Ouyang Changshi said is not unreasonable."
Wei Shaoqi, who had been listening in, became impatient and asked coldly:
"Why are you still going around in circles? We have already analyzed the case of the sixth brother Wei Shaoxuan, the case of the master of Die Lianhua, and the case of the defection of Zhu Lingxu and his son. The murderers in the three cases were the master of Die Lianhua and his group!
"Yunmeng Jianze has the strength to cut off Hu Dingjian, and Li Zhengyan and his gang also have the hatred of Zhu Lingxu and his son who defected, as well as our Wei family's motive for committing the crime.
"Yunmeng Jianze is next to Dragon City again, so close, and according to Li Li's secret report, my sixth brother and his master, Mr. Qiu, fought against Yunmeng's eldest daughter Jun Xue Zhongzhu once when they were in Dragon City!
"According to the tip, Mr. Qiu was suppressed by Xue Zhongzhu and was somewhat inferior to him in strength.
"But that day, Xue Zhongzhu probably did not succeed and did not win the Cauldron Sword. Later, due to some special reasons, Sixth Brother and Mr. Qiu went to Yunmengze again...
"Since then, there has been no news from him, except for the suspicious whereabouts of the fake Sixth Brother who pop up from time to time."
Wei Shaoqi's face was a little gloomy and he sneered:
"Who believes you when you say that Yunmeng Jianze has no contact with the owner of the Sixth Brother Dingjian, the Dielianhua owner? They are the only ones who are the most suspicious and have sufficient motives.
"I don't know what Ouyang Changshi was thinking, but he still stood up to defend those girls who were pretending to be gods. Is there any fate? Huh?"
He looked a little stunned, smiled and nodded:
"Oh, that's right. Isn't Dragon City right next to Yunmengze? Ouyang Changshi was a county magistrate.
"With Ouyang Changshi's face, it is impossible to say that Yunmeng Yuenu often passed by and was secretly interested in her. And she is also some kind of female monarch. Haha, after meeting Ouyang Changshi, he didn't even want to follow the rules and regulations of the female monarch palace.
It's just love, right?
"In this case, it is understandable to speak for them."
After hearing this, Ouyang Rong also smiled and glanced sideways at Wei Shaoqi.
Wei Shaoqi immediately saw the man's eyes looking strange and asked him:
"Hey, how did Young Master Wei know?
"I was working in the Dragon City to control floods, and I was a hero on the way to save a beauty twice. I am very familiar with the eldest lady Jun and the Yue virgin. Hey, I even know the nicknames of these two beauties.
"Well, they told me that there are some things they didn't do, so they won't take the blame."
"just you?"
Wei Shaoqi suddenly laughed angrily.
Rong Zhen glanced at the person who was boasting, frowned slightly, and interrupted again:
"Stop arguing. This is a discussion. Please be serious. It's not at the vegetable market. If you want to argue, go out and argue later."
"Someone's thoughts are quite beautiful."
Wei Shaoqi snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and turned his head:
"Ms. Shi, there is now a chain of evidence that is clear enough, and the corresponding logical motive is also the most complete.
"What needs to be clarified most at the moment is whether Yunmeng Jianze, Li Zhengyan and other Kuangfu troops really colluded! If so, then the whole line will be drawn.
"In addition, the owner of the Dielianhua is probably hiding in Xunyang City, waiting for the delivery of the golden Buddha head. This matter must be guarded against.
"Ms. Shi is also from the palace. Regarding the Donglin Giant Buddha, you must not lose anything... you know the importance and consequences.
"One last thing, Ms. Shi, next time we have a meeting, some idle people should not come. It's a waste of time!"
"Who are you talking about?" Ouyang Rong was curious.
"saying you……"
Wei Shaoqi just opened his mouth, then realized what he was doing and stopped quickly. His nose was trembling and he stared at someone.
"Everyone, listen to me."
Ouyang Rong turned to Rong Zhen and said seriously:
"Yunmeng Jianze is indeed highly suspicious, but we cannot rule out that the owner of Die Lianhua is from another group.
"Don't underestimate it. It's impossible to say that Wei Shaoxuan and Mr. Qiu were killed by the owner of Die Lianhua alone.
"After all, those who can become sword wielders are all evil geniuses who are one in ten thousand. They are unruly, aloof and aloof, stunningly talented, and unparalleled in elegance... all within common sense. And they also possess an unpredictable ability.
The extremely lethal tripod sword.
"So, it's not surprising that he can do this kind of leapfrog execution. Don't underestimate this guy."
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
Wei Shaoqi didn't want to pay attention to him, so he turned around and asked Rong Zhen:
"Ms. Shi, after Zhao Rushi was killed, Li Li took people to Longcheng County once to mourn at Donglin Temple in Dagu Mountain. However, they never returned, and no news came back.
"I heard that the female historian was also in Dagushan that night. I wonder if you have seen them?"
Rong Zhen glanced at Wei Shaoqi, who had a serious face, was silent for a while, and shook his head:
"never seen it.
"However, this matter should be done by the owner of Dielianhua.
"That night, I also met the owner of Dielianhua for the first time in Dagushan. At that time, he destroyed the evidence of Zhao Rushi's body. Now it seems that Li Li and others were also killed, possibly destroyed together with Zhao Rushi.
No trace of the corpse."
Wei Shaoqi sighed, nodded and said:
"Fortunately, Li Li often sent back secret messages before, and the palace has preserved many of the secret messages he sent back at that time.
"Now our people are looking back at previous letters to look for suspicious clues...
"Ms. Shi, let's stop talking about this today. I have told you all the clues that I and the palace can tell you. If there are new clues in the future, I will come back to you."
"Okay. Thank you for your hard work, Prince Wei's Mansion."
"It's a matter of personal responsibility. Besides, it's up to us, the Prince of Wei, to thank the female historian."
Wei Shaoqi's face was very sincere and his tone was surprisingly gentle:
"If it hadn't been for Lady Shi's persistent investigation in Xunyang City, these suspicious points in the case of Zhu Lingxu and his son would have been ignored by the mediocre officials below. We, the Wei family, would always be misunderstood by His Majesty and Xiao
Human humiliation.
"At least now... I still see a chance to overturn the verdict. I will pass the news to the palace now. My father will be delighted when he finds out.
"Ms. Shi, if you come back to Luoyang next time, my father will definitely thank you in person."
Rong Zhen was noncommittal and ordered everyone:
"First of all, we should pay attention to the fact that the owner of Dielianhua has the ability to disguise others. We don't know the specific method at the moment, but we have to be careful. In the future, we need to verify our identity and be careful of conspiracy.
"It is currently known that he can disguise himself as Wei Shaoxuan and Zhao Rushi. The portraits of these two people will be circulated in the past two days to see if anyone has seen it...
"Secondly, whether he is an accomplice of Yunmeng Jianze or not, the owner of Dielianhua is a hidden danger. He is planning for the worst. He and his accomplices have the power to murder Mr. Qiu.
"We must immediately report to Luoyang Si Tianjian and request support."
"That makes sense."
"Agree."
Soon, the meeting was dissolved amidst the response of everyone.
Wei Shaoqi and Wang Lengran left the Supervisory Yuan directly; Lin Cheng went to investigate the ruins of the old courtyard in Xingzifang.
"Ouyang Lianghan."
Ouyang Rong, who was about to turn around and leave, heard a shout from behind and turned to look.
Rong Zhenlongxiu stood under the eaves of the gallery not far behind, as if waiting.
Ouyang Rong followed.
The two of them, one short and one tall, walked one behind the other on a long corridor so silent that their footsteps echoed.
Ouyang Rong saw the girl in plain white palace clothes in front of her, with an inch of her jade neck exposed.
"What is my nickname?"
"ah?"
Ouyang Rong didn't react.
"nothing."
She shook her head and changed the subject.
"I remember that the first time we met was in the carriage of your female family at the gate of the West City."
Ouyang Rong was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that she would mention this. He nodded and said:
"That's right. It scared me a lot at the time."
"Weren't you quite calm at the time?"
"That's just superficial."
"What about me? Are you feeling guilty?"
"I'm thinking, who is such a tough girl? I don't owe her any money, right? How can I put on such a...cold face..."
Rong Zhen couldn't help but turn around and interrupt: "Okay, don't mention whether these are available or not."
"Then what are you talking about?"
He smiled and asked curiously:
"Why did Rong Nushi suddenly mention the first time they met before?"
Rong Zhen pursed her pink lips:
"I remember that before I left the carriage, you mentioned something.
"It seems that when the number one rebel Li Zhengyan passed by Xunyang, he brought a painting of Peach Blossom Spring to Sima Yuan Huaimin of Jiangzhou and asked him for two poems by Tao Yuanming, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and a poem passed down by the Yuan family of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The only copy of "The Peach Blossom Spring"...and after leaving Xunyang, did they also go to Yunmengze?"
Ouyang Rong was silent for a while and nodded.
"Yeah. But..."
"Okay, I know, you can go back."
Rong Zhen walked forward with his sleeves in his sleeves, without squinting his eyes, and dropped one sentence:
"You are very dishonest. You always like to talk nonsense in front of me."
Ouyang Rong stepped forward.
He turned his head and watched the cold and cold girl in palace clothes go away.
The echo of her cold voice still lingers in the corridor.
