Chapter 552: Rong Zhens heart-to-heart relationship, twin sword skills! [Please vote for me!]
"I'll have to call you Bachelor Ouyang from now on."
"Ms. Shi, you're welcome."
"Aren't you polite?"
"There were a lot of people just now, so you're welcome."
"Continue to be polite."
"Um, do you want to be polite or not?"
"want."
"That's okay..."
"It's up to you." She said suddenly.
At the Huaiye Lane residence, Ouyang Rong returned to the study first, put away the new official seal, official uniform, and the hemp rope prayer beads that had been "strung again and free again". He turned around and left, and found the cold palace clothes waiting in the yard.
Girl, send her out.
The two walked out of the house together. Halfway through the conversation, Rong Zhen was chatting to death as expected. Ouyang Rong seamlessly switched topics:
"Rong Nu Shi has been staying at Shuangfeng Peak lately?" he asked, changing his title.
"Yes." Rong Zhen's expression showed no surprise. The women's boots under the skirt of Snow White House had a lot of mud on the soles of their feet.
Over there at Xunyang Grottoes, the ground was covered with mud and water after the snow melted.
"Recently, most of the female officials from this palace and the Supervisory Council have been watching over there, and the soldiers brought by Qin Changshi are also stationed there. Senior Song is guarding over Xingzi Lake to protect the Buddha's head, which is also close to Lin Cheng's mourning hall.
"
"It is better for women to be cautious."
"It's not prudent, it's necessary."
Rong Zhen took a deep breath:
"That lewd thief is so cunning and clever that he has to be guarded against." After a pause, she repeated: "We must guard against him."
Ouyang Rong nodded and remained silent.
"You're relaxed. Did you have a comfortable Spring Festival?"
"good."
"I received the soup you sent me on New Year's Eve. Thank you very much."
Ouyang Rong looked confused: "Soup? What soup? Is there such a thing?"
Rong Zhen stopped in his tracks and turned back suddenly.
"Ahem."
Ouyang Rong quickly covered his mouth and said sincerely:
"You can drink as much as you like. It's mainly for the Chinese New Year. You guys are also working very hard, so I asked my aunt and the others to make some more chicken soup to warm you up..."
Rong Zhen didn't correct the word "love to drink". She turned her head straight again and couldn't see her expression clearly. Only a serious voice came out:
"Ouyang Lianghan, come here and help me. Jiangzhou needs you, Xunyang Grottoes also need you, and I... are all waiting for you."
After a while of silence, her voice came again:
"Actually, I know that you will always accept the order."
"Why?"
"I heard that Chen Canjun and Yan Canjun have renovated the city gate to prevent the accident where the Buddha's head was stuck last time. They must have listened to your suggestion. Isn't this just to transport the Buddha's head back to Xunyang later?
Preparing for the Grotto?
"Ouyang Lianghan, you have actually been ready to come back a long time ago, huh, you are so stupid."
Ouyang Rong looked down at the ground: "Can't you just help the people behind you?"
"Do not believe."
"Do not believe?"
"I don't believe you can be free."
"But I've already had a free Spring Festival."
"But you can't be idle for a year, ten years, or your whole life, and really be a Jiangzhou Sima. I know your character."
Looking at Rong Zhen's stubborn little face in front of him, Ouyang Rong, who was silently thinking, was stunned for a moment.
He turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the corridor.
Not to mention, although this female historian is cold and old-fashioned, and occasionally unkind, it feels warm to be trusted and confided in by her so much. Occasionally, there will be one or two clear wooden fish sounds in the ears, making people speculate about her.
His thoughts are simply full of emotional value... However, occasionally he is a little guilty, but... it's just a guilty conscience, it's not worth mentioning... someone is very thick-skinned.
"Anyway, I have accepted the order today. Whatever Rong Nu Shi says is right, I won't argue with you anymore."
"That's how it is."
Rong Zhen was stubborn and moved forward with his head held high.
"Rong Nu Shi, please slow down and don't go the wrong way."
"I know the way, so I don't need you to escort me." She, who was walking in front and was a head shorter, said.
Ouyang Rong did not retreat, but followed behind to see her out.
"What? You're afraid that I'll go astray. Is there anything in your house that I can't see?"
Rong Zhen didn't reply, his tone was a little impatient, but he didn't chase him away. The two of them just continued to move forward one after another.
Ouyang Rong shook his head, changed the topic and asked: "How is the murder case involving the collapse of the Buddha?"
"Don't you care?"
"The imperial edict has been accepted. Now we are both prosperous and devastated. Now we have to care."
Rong Zhen snorted softly, with a hint of laughter in his voice, but he restrained himself and spoke coldly:
"The thief must have been nowhere to be found. I still don't know where he hid and deployed his sword, and how the rebels in Tiannan Jianghu arranged an escape route for him... We have searched both inside and outside the city.
I can't figure it out.
"In addition, there is also the matter of the cauldron sword using the 'Return to Laixi' sword.
"Lin Cheng once built many fire-watching towers on the Xingzi Lake construction site. It took a long time for Hanshi's magical power and cloth sword to return. Now the strange point is how this tripod sword was watched by the secret guards. Everyone in the audience
The deployment of swords was successful under martial law.
"Did Lin Cheng and the others not know how to run away after seeing the Dingjian cloth sword?"
"Yeah, it's really strange." Ouyang Rong nodded and asked seriously: "Is there some way to hide the process of deploying the sword?"
Rong Zhen looked serious, frowning and thinking:
"Yes, I am also suspicious of this. The Overwatch Council currently has a guess that the tripod sword was in the Buddha's head at that time, and the sword was completed with the help of the cover of the Buddha's head rising into the air. So, we waited until Lin Cheng and others reacted
Come over, it's already too late... Only then did the face of the Buddha's head get damaged.
"Actually, I thought at first that the damage to the Buddha's head and face was caused by Dingjian trying to destroy the Buddha's head and body after killing Lin Cheng and others.
"But looking at it now, this point needs to be discussed. There are two reasons. First, the Buddha's head was not completely damaged and was not destroyed by the fire like the Buddha's body. Second, according to the recollections of the onlookers at the time, it seems that there was indeed a vision.
It was the first thing that appeared on the face of the Buddha's head. Later, Lin Cheng, Wei Shaoqi and others on the field were beheaded by the Cauldron Sword, and then the Buddha collapsed. The damage to the Buddha's head and face was at the beginning..."
Rong Zhen analyzed it calmly and sighed softly:
"However, the scene was too chaotic at the time, and because of the strict rules set by Lin Cheng, most of the workers were restricted to their posts. There were only a dozen or so people watching at the time... winches and pulleys were used to lift the Buddha's head.
The workers all have their backs to the Buddha...
"Moreover, the memories of most of these ten people have been blurred, and some people even realized it later after Lin Cheng and the others died and Pei Shisanniang screamed.
"There are also some who are illiterate, have bad memories, and love to talk nonsense. Later it was proved that his confession was contradicted by several others, and it was completely nonsense...
"This seriously interferes with our Supervisory Yuan's on-site review... Well, it's a mess."
Ouyang Rong comforted him: "Take your time. Investigating the case is a slow job. You can't rush it, just peel off the cocoon."
"Yep."
Rong Zhen nodded and couldn't help but look at Ouyang Rong's gentle and steady expression. She turned her eyes away slightly and exhaled:
"It's better for you to calm down. It will definitely be better now that I have you as my adviser."
"Okay." Ouyang Rong nodded harmlessly and suggested warmly:
"Actually, Pei Shisanniang is very crucial. This person is close, and her confession is closer to the facts and more convincing than other witnesses."
"That's right. That businesswoman is really crucial and can sort out a lot of messy things."
Rong Zhen nodded vigorously and agreed very much, but after a while, he sighed again:
"But she is still in a coma. The doctor has looked at her and said she was in shock. Her life is not in danger, but I don't know when she will wake up. I am also waiting for her."
Ouyang Rong seemed to have remembered something, raised his head, and asked curiously: "By the way, among the five people closest to the Buddha at that time, why was she the only one alive?"
"I don't know." She frowned and murmured, "Maybe it's luck. It's too obvious to be an accomplice."
Rong Zhen frowned and narrated, briefly talking to Ouyang Rong about the progress of the Supervisory Yuan's investigation:
"Actually, I have thought about it in the past few days. If the tripod sword is really hidden inside the Buddha's head, then we should find out how the tripod sword got in.
"Is the nearby owner of Die Lianhua directly controlling the tripod sword to enter, or, more boldly, the human sword is separated. The tripod sword has been hidden in the Buddha's head before, and the sword owner is hidden in the Xingzi Lake construction site... Previous day
If planted, it would be too easy for Lin Cheng and others to discover it.
"If it's the latter, what's more suspicious at the moment is that when Yun Mengze and his men led a sneak attack on the convoy, someone might have taken advantage of the chaos and hid the tripod sword in the Buddha's head...
"These are still being investigated intensively."
"That makes sense."
Ouyang Rong looked thoughtful for a moment and said in a serious tone:
"I thought of a possibility."
"What's possible?" she wondered.
"Doesn't this guy have a bronze mask? According to what you said last time, it's called a mirage mask. It can change the appearance of others. Do you think it's possible? He transformed into a female official. When he was playing Qinyin in Xingzifang,
He blended in with our people, so he escaped the exposure of Qin Yin?
"Is it also at this time that the Dingjian was fished in troubled waters and hidden in the Buddha's head?"
"Hey, that makes sense. And last time in Huang Xuan's courtyard, he killed our female officer. It's hard to believe that he collected the corresponding spiritual energy for this demon face at that time..."
Rong Zhen suddenly realized it. He tapped his chin with his index finger and his face was thoughtful. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible.
Ouyang Rong asked calmly: "Is the Buddha's head empty? Last time I saw it, there was some damage. Should it be okay?"
"No problem, the damage has been assessed, only the appearance is damaged."
"That's good."
"So I am becoming more and more suspicious of another possibility you mentioned before."
"What's possible?"
"He doesn't have time to destroy the Buddha's head." Rong Zhen whispered and continued to ponder:
"After the tripod sword was hidden in the Buddha's head, in order to prevent it from making any noise, it was exposed in advance and it was inconvenient to destroy the Buddha's head. But after successfully deploying the sword, he chose to kill people immediately, and then destroyed the most time-consuming headless head.
The Big Buddha... At this point, perhaps out of exhaustion or in order to buy time to run away, he left the damaged Buddha head and left."
"Ms. Shi's analysis is very reasonable." Ouyang Rong couldn't help but agree.
Rong Zhen analyzed calmly: "Our two possibilities are in tandem and can be strung together. From this point of view, he first used a mask to disguise himself and hid the tripod sword inside the Buddha's head. Then he avoided the sound of the piano and hid at the construction site. He spread the sword to kill people and robbed people.
Time escapes... From now on, it makes sense."
Ouyang Rong nodded in admiration: "That makes sense. Now I just have to wait for Pei Shisanniang to wake up and ask her where the tripod sword phenomenon first appeared. If it first emerged from the face of the Buddha's head, it will be more confirmed."
"That's right." Rong Zhen's eyes were a little bright and he narrowed his eyes: "But besides that, this owner of Dielianhua may also be the hidden monarch of the Female Queen Palace?"
"The Hidden Lord of the Female Lord's Hall? He...isn't he a man?" Ouyang Rong looked a little confused.
"The Yinjun is not limited to gender. This is the only exception in the Nujun Palace. However, the Yinjun in the Nujun Palace is not permanent because it is hard to find a sword holder, and it is even harder to find a reliable one... This can also explain why the old musician
The sound of the piano cannot find him... Rumor has it that Lord Yunmeng Yin will take an ancient insect called a tortoise-shell beetle to gain the magical power of hiding wind, gathering energy, and condensing breath.
"It is rumored that in ancient times, there was a person who swallowed a whole tortoise-shell beetle and became a "non-existent person". It was as if he became invisible. Not only did he restrain all his aura, but he also felt like entering a deserted place when he walked into the busy city.
"If this person is Yin Jun, who swallowed the tortoise-shell beetle, Qin Yin can't find him and can explain it. If this is the case, Yunmeng Jianze's destructive power, or the degree of danger, will directly rise to another level. Yue Nu is good at swords.
All the leaders of swordsmanship and swordsmanship in the world come from here, and Yunmeng Jianze, who possesses the Yinjun and the Mythical Cauldron Sword, complements the sword wielder's sword. With the complementation, the increase in strength is simply unimaginable..."
Rong Zhen muttered to himself, the expression on her small face gradually calmed down. It was rare to see her so serious. Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and kept it in mind.
After a while, Rong Zhen was sent to the door.
Ouyang Rong stopped and watched the petite and beautiful figure go away. He rubbed his face and muttered: "Jun Yunmengyin... the tortoise-shell beetle... can hide the wind, gather energy, and converge the breath. How can this effect be heard?"
It sounds so familiar, but...I'm not transparent and invisible..."
After temporarily forgetting about it, he turned around to appease his excited aunt who was newly appointed as the imperial wife. He then went to change into an official uniform. Then, under the reluctant eyes of Ye Weilai and the half-awaited female family members, he strode out without looking back.
.
However, when he passed the door, he paused for a moment, carefully looked at the neat door-god couplets, and nodded with satisfaction.
After walking a few steps outside, they came to a dark alley, where Yan Liulang was sitting in the coachman's seat of a carriage waiting.
"Did the Ming government accept the order?"
"Um."
Ouyang Rong boarded the car and sat down.
Yan Liulang said calmly:
"Don't worry, Mingfu. No matter how you investigate, the incident at the West City Gate that day was an accident. If you have any doubts, Wang Lengran and some female officials were in the bridge cave at that time. The generals were also present. They are all suspected...
"And...except for the humble position, no one else knows about it, including Chen Canjun."
"Um."
Ouyang Rong didn't say much and suddenly asked:
"Over at Xingzifang, what's going on with the land that was previously jointly acquired by the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce and the Governor's Office?"
Yan Liulang was stunned and replied:
"They are all still there. During the Spring Festival, the Ming government did not receive the order and there was no one in charge. Yuan Changshi sealed these in the name of Jiangzhou Hall, put them on hold, and did not allow them to sell them... They are all there now.
, how is the Ming government going to deal with it?"
Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
Yan Liulang asked again: "Ming Mansion, where are we going now? The Governor's Mansion or Jiangzhou Hall, everyone is looking forward to it now."
Ouyang Rong whispered: "Don't worry, Liulang will go there for me first, and I'll go take a look at the land in Xingzifang."
"Yes." Yan Liulang jumped out of the carriage and left with a vigorous posture.
In the bumpy carriage, Ouyang Rong was alone. While waiting, he took out the manuscript of "Inscription on Chrysanthemums" from his sleeve. He rubbed his face: "It's a good thing I didn't write out all the sword tactics, otherwise it would have been troublesome..."
That's right, the one in my hand is actually not the complete sword art made by the craftsman, but... half. There are two sword art poems made by the craftsman, one is "Inscribed on the Chrysanthemum", and the other is "Not the Empress"
"Ode to the Chrysanthemums" is the song "The incense array reaches the sky and penetrates Chang'an, and the city is filled with golden armor". It wants them all!
This is a twin sword technique, one light and one dark! The most favorite song of [Craftsman] is also the secret song "Fu Di Hou Fu Chrysanthemum". Now only Ouyang Rong in the world knows it, and it is hidden deep in his heart.
Fortunately, I didn't write it that day, and the "Inscription on Chrysanthemums" that is now in the open has become famous all over the world...
In addition, the original manuscript of "Inscription on Chrysanthemums" in his hand cannot be exposed.
Because he wrote it in his own hand, as one half of the sword formula, the sword wielder can detect the true meaning of the sword energy hidden in the original manuscript.
Just like the "Return to Come" sword formula on the wall of the Pure Land Palace - the sword formula written by the sword holder himself contains his true meaning!
Moreover, his true literary style is also in the original manuscript, so once outsiders see it, his identity will be easily exposed.
"Ming Mansion, Pei Shisanniang is awake!"
At this time, Yan Liulang suddenly left and returned, stopped the carriage, leaned close to the window, and reported in a low voice.
Ouyang Rong put away the manuscript of the sword formula, opened the car curtain and raised his eyebrows slightly.
