Ouyang Rong went out in the morning and went to the Supervisory Yuan first.
Submit Ye Weila's birth certificate, redemption contract and other items to Rong Zhen.
Rong Zhen was not as busy as before today, so busy that no one was seen.
After all, there is no need to follow him to Zhenguang Street in Xingzifang to investigate.
After clarifying Ye Weila's misunderstanding last night, Rong Zhen didn't bother about the relationship between Ouyang Rong and Qin Heng, as if he had forgotten it.
Inside the Overwatch Council, seeing Ouyang Rong arriving so early, Rong Zhen said nothing and took him to the breakfast stall at the entrance of the Overwatch Council to have breakfast.
After what happened last night, the atmosphere between the two of them was restored to its original state.
After a brief exchange of information, Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen separated.
He returned to Jiangzhou lobby.
As soon as the carriage arrived and got off in the backyard, they met Xie Lingjiang and Li Dalang who were waiting.
"Big brother."
"Why are you here so early today?"
Ouyang Rong turned back curiously, and his eyes fell on Li Dalang next to her:
"Why is Dalang here too?"
Li Dalang turned to look at Xie Lingjiang.
Xie Lingjiang's face was serious and he silently handed over a military waist knife.
Ouyang Rong calmed his expression, glanced at his junior sister, turned around, and got back on the carriage.
Xie Lingjiang and Li Dalang silently followed the carriage.
Inside the carriage, the three of them closed the curtains.
Ouyang Rong took the familiar military waist knife and drew it out to look at it.
Xie Lingjiang said softly:
"Brother, in the middle of the night last night, Khufu sent a close aide with this sword, saying he was looking for Uncle Shun, and then conveyed Khufu's message."
"What did Khufu say?"
Xie Lingjiang said solemnly:
"Khu Fu said that he invited Lin Cheng to have a meal last night. During the dinner, he tested Lin Cheng, made cryptic statements and hints, and invited Lin Cheng to write a memorial as soon as possible and return to the capital on a day. However, Lin Cheng had not yet started writing, so he extended his grace.
I have excused myself for a few days, but I still haven’t set a date for my return to Beijing..."
When Ouyang Rong heard this, he closed his waist knife, nodded slightly and said:
"Lin Cheng went to Dragon City a few days ago, which may have delayed the writing of the memorial. It is reasonable to delay it for a few days.
"Even if he is deliberately stalling for time and wants to continue the investigation, then let him do it. We are not afraid of the shadows being distorted if we are upright."
Xie Lingjiang shook his head:
"Not necessarily. Khufu's message ended with a special warning to Senior Brother to be careful about Lin Cheng. He told Senior Brother not to take it lightly, and also said... a biting dog does not bark, and Lin Cheng is this kind of person.
"Khufu also said that based on his many years of experience in dealing with such people, there may be something wrong with this Lin Cheng, and senior brother should not underestimate the enemy."
Ouyang Rong, who originally had a calm face, frowned slightly.
His eyes exchanged with Xie Lingjiang and Li Dalang respectively for a while, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and nodded:
"I understand, I will pay attention."
Ouyang Rong handed the military waist knife back to Xie Lingjiang, turned his head and asked Li Dalang:
"Why is Dalang here too? Didn't I ask you to find Miss Qin?"
Li Dalang smiled bitterly. Before he could answer, Xie Lingjiang had already answered on his behalf:
"Qin Ying got ready to go out early in the morning. Dalang came to Jingyiting early in the morning and was rejected. Qin Ying didn't take him with him, and went out of the city on horseback to hunt for autumn hunting alone."
Speaking of this, she was also curious about someone:
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what kind of conflict did Dalang have with sister Qin Ying? Why are they still in a cold war?"
Li Dalang hesitated to speak, and finally sighed towards Ouyang Rong:
"Tan Lang, I tried my best and tried many times, but Qin Ying still ignored me. She should have gone to Qiu Xie with Wei Shaoqi this morning."
Xie Lingjiang frowned and looked at Li Dalang, and couldn't help but ask. He had already spilled the beans, so Li Dalang had no choice but to turn around and tell the truth.
Just as Xie Lingjiang frowned and digested the matter, Ouyang Rong curled his lips:
"Da Lang deserves it. This kind of attitude seems to be a sign of anger... Please ask my junior sister for advice first..."
Xie Lingjiang did not look at his senior brother and said expressionlessly:
"There is no need to ask for advice. My suggestion is to tell the truth and stop trying to make up for it. Tell the truth and be sincere. On the contrary, there will be a way out."
Ouyang Rong nodded vigorously for the first time, expressing his high recognition:
"That's right, Dalang, listen to my junior sister, sincerity is the ultimate skill."
Li Dalang took another look at Ouyang Rong.
He always felt that Miss Xie was not speaking to him alone... But after hearing this, Li Dalang sighed:
"I'm afraid that this sincerity will become more obscene."
"Why is this?" Xie Lingjiang was confused.
Li Dalang reluctantly nodded: "It's okay, I understand, I will give it a try..."
Seeing that Li Dalang probably couldn't handle the investigation matters he had previously entrusted to him, Ouyang Rong turned his attention to Xie Lingjiang:
"Qin Ying lives in Jingyi Court, and the junior sister has a good relationship with her. Do you know if any of the Qin family members have come to Xunyang City recently? Or, have any other men come to see Qin Ying?"
Xie Lingjiang shook his head:
"I have never heard anything like this from the Qin sister, and no one has come to see her recently... Why does Senior Brother ask this?"
"never mind."
Ouyang Rong thought again of the private room that Wei Shaoqi booked for Wei Anhui on the third floor of Yunshui Pavilion that day...
Shaking his head, he got rid of this thought for the time being.
Ouyang Rong opened the carriage and returned to the main hall.
Just after he came back, he met Yan Liulang waiting in the corridor again.
"What's wrong?"
"Tanlang..."
"Come in and talk."
Yan Liulang followed Ouyang Rong into the main hall, not forgetting to clasp his fists to report.
It was a person and thing that Ouyang Rong almost forgot.
"You're saying that Pei Shisanniang and that group of businessmen are selling off their Xingzifang house at a reduced price recently? Are they spitting out all the Xingzifang house deeds they swallowed before?"
"That's right, Mingfu, they are selling at a loss now."
Ouyang Rong smiled and asked with interest:
"As you mentioned before, what about the businessmen who scolded me the most harshly in private? We had people watching them before. How are they doing now?"
Yan Liulang coughed twice and said:
"They are still complaining about the Ming Palace. They don't have the Qi-nurturing skills and consciousness of Pei Shisanniang at all. It seems that Pei Shisanniang has never expressed her dissatisfaction with the Ming Palace in private from the beginning to the end."
Ouyang Rong smiled:
"It's okay to scold them. The more they scold these profiteers, the more it means that I have done the right thing. If you always praise me, then you should reflect on it."
Yan Liulang sighed:
"The Ming Dynasty still has a lot of power, but those Yangzhou profiteers are really small compared to them. They deserve to be mixed up like this..."
Ouyang Rong shook his head gently and said without saying anything more:
"Pei Shisanniang and others are throwing away their property deeds and leaving faster than I imagined."
Yan Liulang nodded:
"I'm sure. A few days ago, didn't Mrs. Pei come to our door asking to join in the construction of Xunyang Grottoes, like Wang Caozhi and others?
"It's a pity that it's too late to enter now, and I was declined by the Ming Dynasty again.
"Mrs. Pei is a smart person. It seems that she has reacted and figured out the significance of Shuangfengjian and Xunyang Grottoes. She knows that Xunyang City will expand to Shuangfengjian in the future, and there will be no shortage of land in the future. Xingzi
The future value of the house here has been greatly reduced. It cannot be held for a long time, so it is natural to sell it as soon as possible."
Ouyang Rong pursed his lips, turned around and ordered:
"Keep watching, and when they sell them all at low prices and leave, don't worry about them. Just scold them behind your back."
"Yes, Mingfu."
Yan Liulang clasped his fists hard, seeing that nothing happened, Mingfu in front of him seemed to be in a daze, and he was ready to leave.
