No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 104 Mistakes and inexplicable merits (overhauled)
"Oh?"

The priestess stopped, and looked again, with a look of regret and curiosity on her face, although her face was covered with paint, which could not be seen by others:

"What kind of special method? In this sword shop, apart from that old man with a bad temper halfway up the mountain, there are other people who can make it difficult for you to move?"

Liu Zian recalled the report from Tsing Yi's steward just now, and shook his head again:

"The old man likes this little worker named Ah Qing, so he can't move."

"Why don't you move?"

Liu Zian glanced at her, was quiet for a while, and suddenly said:

"It's not easy to move... because she happens to be a pawn that can't be played. The big brother laid it down, so we can't be alarmed in advance."

The priestess said impatiently: "What do you mean, what can a lowly female worker have to calculate? The old man likes it, so he uses it as a blackmail?"

Liu Zian smiled and said:

"It has nothing to do with the old man, it has something to do with the magistrate of the county government.

"The elder brother of this little girl worker, named Liu Ashan, used to be an official slave of Jianpu, but was later rescued by the county magistrate and helped her redeem herself.

"Now Liu Ashan is working under the county magistrate, although he usually keeps a low profile and hides it very deeply, but he can't escape our Liu family's eyeliner.

"Brother noticed him a while ago. After a careful investigation, this Liu Ashan's hands and feet are a bit dirty, and he dared to put eyeliner in our sword shop to inquire about news."

The priestess frowned: "Then you still don't do it?"

Liu Zian shook his head lightly:
"Now we are still cooperating with the county government, although it hasn't been long...

"It's inconvenient to clean up at the moment, and it's easy to scare the snake. As for Liu Ashan's people in the sword shop, we are all watching. The information that can be spread is safe, and important things will not be let them inquire.

"And this little female worker named Ah Qing has been staring at her for a while. She is quite honest and well-behaved on weekdays. She doesn't seem to be inquiring about news. I don't know why Liu Ashan keeps her here. Well, maybe it's because Liu's family Haven't found out about him yet."

The sickly second young master of the Liu family laughed:
"It's just right, we'll do what we can and pretend we don't know. The elder brother will use her as a chess piece and put it there, maybe one day he will use it."

The priestess sneered: "So it was used to threaten the new county magistrate?"

Liu Zian tilted his head and said:

"This may be a bit difficult, Ouyang Lianghan's personality is not like that noble daughter of the Xie family, and as for coercing Liu Ashan, it is useless right now.

"However, our people found out that Liu Ashan took her to Meilu Garden for a family dinner last night. From this point of view, the relationship between the two families is quite good, and maybe they can be a weakness in the future. The elder brother arranged it like this. So don’t move right now.”

The priestess sneered, "Your Liu family is really full of profit calculations."

"Each each other."

At this time, the two stopped to chat, and saw a group of female fringe workers coming out of the Jiansui Workshop not far away, walking out in small groups, as if it was time for a break.

And the pretty little girl worker they just discussed is being watched and pointed out by many female ear workers passing by, especially a thin-lipped female worker who is leading the way. My companions laughed from time to time.

The priestess tilted her fat double chin forward to signal:

"Then the one next to her. With a sharp mouth, she looks quite good at talking, and her spirituality should not be much less than her."

This time, Liu Ziwen nodded immediately with a calm expression: "OK."

"Let's go then. I'll arrange the ceremony."

The two turned and left.

But the group of female cob workers behind them didn't know that the fate of one of them had already been judged casually.

It's like stepping on an ant.

……

Ouyang Rong woke up at Chenshi in the morning. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly found that his mouth was sour.

On the face, too, with a bit of acridity.

It was like being touched on the face by the hometown spicy vegetable oil that I ate last night.

Ouyang Rong stretched out his hand from under the quilt, and wiped his face and lips curiously.

Strange, how come there is a peppery and cornel-like pungent taste in the food.

He brushed his teeth with willow sticks last night before going to bed.

Or.

"Wei Lai, did you secretly kiss me last night?"

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and asked the bulging blanket beside him.

The silver-haired girl had a small white-haired head emerging from the quilt, with sleepy eyes, fluffy hair on her forehead, and a bunch of curled up dull hair. Her gray-blue eyes struggled to open a small gap, and her mouth seemed to be dreaming. Twice:
"Um...no...no..."

"The face is a bit sticky, and there is a smell of hot pepper, isn't it..."

In the early morning, the stern-faced young man asking the teacher for his crimes hadn't finished his sentence before he was stopped by the girl's lazy gentleness.

After a long time, we were separated.

The white-haired servant girl held the quilt with both hands, raised her head and said, "Is it this, Master?"

"..."

Ouyang Rong glared at her, removed the few strands of silver that were sticking to the corners of his mouth, and shook his head: "I haven't brushed my teeth, aren't you afraid of the strange smell?"

Wei Lai shook her head vigorously, "Master's is not to blame... However, it does seem to smell like dogwood today."

"Let me just say it. I thought it was yours, but you don't seem to have this taste."

"What the hell is that?"

Ouyang Rong and Wei Lai stared at each other, but they still couldn't think of a reason, so they had to give up and didn't care.

After dawdling for a while, the two got out of bed and started a new day.

After eating breakfast in Meilu Garden, Ouyang Rong rushed to the yamen to be on duty under the eager and gentle watch of the white-haired maid.

Today he wore the new robe that Ah Qing sent, not to mention, it fits nicely.

Ah Qing really has a heart.

Ouyang Rong felt warm in his heart.

When I came to the yamen, I walked into the office amidst the greetings of my subordinates, and worked with the clerks on the affairs of Di Gongzhai.

In the morning, Ouyang Rong was full of energy and immersed himself in his work. He didn't take a few sips of the cool tea on the table. Suddenly, a series of crisp wooden fish sounds interrupted his writing thoughts.

In the hall of the office that was so quiet that only the sound of Sasha's writing was heard, the slender right hand of the young county magistrate who was leading the case stopped holding the brush.

He looked up at the quiet hall and his subordinates, with a puzzled look on his face.

It's so good, why did it suddenly increase a lot of merit points?
A series of sounds of wooden fish made Ouyang Rong's ears numb.

Confused, he put down his hair and got up, and softly told the scribes to rest for a while, then he went straight out and wandered in the corridor outside.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one there, the young county magistrate looked at an empty official house, entered the room and closed the door, then sat on a chair, closed his eyes and sank into the merit tower.

When he came to the merit tower, everything around him was as before, and he looked at the merit value above the little wooden fish:
【Merits: Nine thousand and twenty one】

After exchanging a blessing in Yunshui Pavilion a few days ago, which he still doesn't understand, the remaining merit value is 630 one, but these days, the merit value has only increased by less than [-] on this basis.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the construction of the Digong Gate and Zheyi Canal has not been completed. Naturally, there is no large amount of income, and he can only rely on the steady flow of water from the 24 disaster relief camps on the outskirts of the city. Wool accumulation.

But when he was working at his desk just now, in just ten breaths, his merit value suddenly increased by more than 300 points.

Obviously, this comes from the same "source".

"What good did I do?"

Ouyang Rong rubbed his chin, wandered around the merit pagoda for a long time, but didn't think of a reason, suddenly, he heard some noises from outside.

Ouyang Rong immediately left the Gongde Pagoda, got up and left the official room, and immediately heard Liu Ah San's voice at the corner not far away.

"Did you see the master?"

"Mingfu seems to have gone to the toilet..." A scribe replied.

Ouyang Rong walked over and greeted from a distance: "Here, Ah Shan."

The thin and tall man came immediately, with a serious face, it should be something important, Ouyang Rong took him into the unoccupied official room just now, and when the door was closed, Liu Ashan said directly:

"My lord, my people at the sword shop found out that the Jiasan sword stove, which has been lighting strangely, stopped emitting smoke this morning, and it should have been extinguished in the middle of the night.

"Based on my previous experience working in the Gu Yue Sword Shop, it should be a certain sword that was burnt in this furnace."

Ouyang Rong frowned and looked sideways.
