As the saying goes, if you open your mouth at the top, your legs will be broken if you run away.

After the morning meeting, the entire Longcheng County government office became lively and busy again because of the young county magistrate's words.

After Diao Xian Cheng returned to the Xitang Office, he summoned the officials in charge of the six offices in the government office to announce a new plan and assign new tasks.

Well, he only needs to be responsible and open his mouth. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be a tall young county magistrate to hold it up, and the officials will do the following things.

Prime Minister Diao County, who was about to speak a few words at the meeting, strolled into the meeting hall with his hands behind his back. He suddenly turned around at the door and saw a tall, thin man with a dull expression following behind him.

Good guy, why does this guy make no sound when he walks? Is he just like the yellow-faced woman who caught the adulterer in my house?

However, complaints were complaints, and he was an acquaintance of the young county magistrate, so Diao Xiancheng naturally knew him.

I guessed that someone was sent to check the situation.

Without much surprise, Diao County Prime Minister nodded to Liu Ashan, turned around and entered the meeting hall.

Not long after, in the hall, the six county officials and more than ten officials from each department arrived.

Diao Xian Cheng put down his teacup and announced the new plan with a serious look on his face. Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.

However, not many people objected. Anyway, when it comes to water control, these county government officials are all laymen, and the main source of oil and water is not above.

Some people may have had the idea of ​​quietly grabbing a handful on Zheyi Canal, but when they think of the heroic deeds of the newly arrived county magistrate and the lesson of being cut off and hanging on the city wall after the Ridong Treasury Rebellion...

I also put aside most of my thoughts for the time being, no one wants to be the first to do it.

After the hall meeting adjourned, each department and department went out one after another and returned to the official's room for deployment.

At the very back of the crowd, there was a chubby official who responded to the words of his colleagues. After the crowd dispersed, he walked to a corridor and there was no one around.

The fat clerk looked back, silently turned around and walked toward the west gate, seemingly to use the toilet...

Shao Qing, in the long corridor not far from the west gate of the county government office, a fat clerk walked out of a hut and returned to the official office with a nonchalant expression, as if he was passing by.

After a while, another horse-faced cook walked out of the quiet thatched house. He first went to the stable to feed the horses of the county officials.

As if he was about to go out to buy feed, the horse-faced cook said hello to his colleagues, drove an empty truck, and drove out of the west gate in a bit of a hurry.

After these two people left one after another.

Behind the screen wall not far from the hut, a tall, thin man with a dull face walked out.

He turned his head and silently looked at the direction in which the fat clerk was leaving.

Three strokes up during the day and the morning is almost over.

The young county magistrate who was writing at the desk in the back hall of the county government office quietly listened to the report of the tall and thin man in front of him.

It was quiet for a while.

The young magistrate put down his pen, rubbed his wrist, raised his head and chuckled:

"Are you in such a hurry? It seems that the Dragon King Liu family is not as calm and unconcerned as we imagined. It's not in vain. Isn't this going to expose the flaw?"

Liu Ashan asked dully: "Do you want to inform Brother Yan and take care of it..."

Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"There is air leakage in such a large county government office, and it cannot be stopped or caught. Last time, we took all precautions, but the account was still burned down.

"Ah Shan, the main way to deal with people like Liu Ziwen is to guard against dirty hands and evil plots. Use the general trend to suppress him and make him unable to do anything."

He paused, thought for a moment, stood up, straightened his sleeves, and lowered his eyes:

"Let's keep them for now. We managed to catch a few mice. We may not be able to use them another day... Let's go back to have lunch. The little junior sister is still crying for food. By the way, this injury hasn't healed yet. Did I hit him so hard that day?

?”

Ouyang Rong asked Liu Ashan curiously.

The latter shook his head and said nothing.

…

The back house of the Su Mansion.

A courtyard that recently had a plaque named Yilanxuan.

Someone came on time to deliver lunch again, and was welcomed in by the maid with a smile.

Before Ouyang Rong entered the door, he looked at the blooming orchids in the courtyard and said casually: "You have done a good job raising orchids."

The maid who led the way turned her head and said with a smile: "Thank you, little lady, for cultivating me..."

Ouyang Rong interrupted curiously: "She still has time to water the orchids? Isn't it inconvenient to walk?"

The maid who led the way had a serious look on her face: "No, I want to say thank you to the little lady for nurturing us and teaching us how to raise us."

"oh."

The maid who led the way secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Miss Xie often goes out these days, either visiting Miss Su's yard next door, cultivating orchids in the yard, or shooting arrows with a target. However, as soon as noon comes, the originally lively Miss Xie will immediately calm down and become very quiet.

Go back home and change clothes on time...

It's the original boudoir again, with the windows open again and sunlight falling onto the table.

"Yeah."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Ouyang Rong handed out a bowl of hot white rice to the haggard and pale lady opposite.

Xie Lingjiang silently took a look at the handsome man in front of him today's attire. He was not surprised when he saw him twisting up the single-grain rice that fell on the table and stuffing it into his mouth without being too dirty. He seemed to be used to it these days.

She hid the slightly curved corners of her mouth and asked curiously:

"How's the matter with Zheyiqu?"

"The progress is okay..."

Ouyang Rong paused, put down the bowl, and explained the situation of Zheyi Canal, including today's new plan.

But of course not much was said about the source of inspiration for this new plan.

You can't teach your junior sister bad things.

Xie Lingjiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the progress was going smoothly and that there wasn't much need for her help.

Also, if senior brother is as busy as when he was building the disaster relief camp, he probably won't have time to deliver meals every day, although there may be reasons why Aunt Zhen is suppressing him.

The girl kept her words to herself, nodded and said:

"Senior brother, pay more attention to rest. I see that you have some deep bags under your eyes today. Get a good night's sleep and put aside the water control matters. Don't work day and night. It's harder to bear the mental stress than the hard work. Besides, senior brother, you still have to work hard both mentally and physically..."

"Okay, okay, okay..."

I don’t know if the junior sister learned from her aunt and started nagging. Ouyang Rong nodded in agreement with a guilty conscience.

After the meal, Ouyang Rong packed up the food box, but Ouyang Rong did not leave immediately.

He washed two more pears and threw one to his junior sister. He took a bite of the pear and took out a small bamboo slip from Yunshui Pavilion from his sleeve and handed it to his junior sister.

The latter took it tacitly, opened it with his fingers, glanced down at it, and read it quickly.

Recently, there are some girls who cannot read books, start to flip through books randomly and faintly touch the threshold of the seventh grade. Their eyebrows are slightly raised and then relaxed.

Then, she raised her head slightly, gazed at the blooming orchids outside the window with her clear eyes under her curved eyebrows, and let out a long breath.

Ouyang Rong bit the fruit pulp, a little confused: "What's the matter?"

“It’s a bit unexpected, but it makes sense.”

Xie Lingjiang thought for a moment and explained:

"The two female monarchs from the Yunmeng Jianze Female Monarch Hall have won the world's top prizes in swordsmanship and kendo. It's not surprising."

Ouyang Rong was curious: "What is the difference between swordsmanship and kendo?"

"The former is a technique, and the latter is a Tao. Senior brother can roughly understand that the former's competition involves the cultivation of closed spiritual energy, while the latter's competition involves giving full play to your abilities, regardless of life or death."

"I understand, it's interesting." Ouyang Rong nodded and said with interest:

"Then who won the first prize? Is it Zhao Qingxiu who made Junior Sister unconvinced?"

Xie Lingjiang glared at the senior brother who was teasing her, and continued in a tone of indifference:

"Humph, this swordsmanship competition was held in a peach forest. The most talented swordsmen in the world all went into the forest to break peach branches into swords. After three sticks of incense, only one person came out of the peach forest alone.

It's the Yue virgin who says nothing and is extremely cold."

"Kendo and sword studies are more interesting and attract more attention.

"A Yunmeng female queen named Xue Zhongzhu defended Yunmeng Jianze. The last swordsman leader was this woman, but she won a little..."

"Somewhat? Barely?"

"No, it's a little too overwhelming."

Ouyang Rong was curious: "Could she be standing there alone and want to beat ten of them?"

"Not that outrageous, but almost." Xie Lingjiang shook his head and sighed:
To be continued...
