No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 120 I predicted your prediction
Longbei Mountain on the west bank of Yuenv Gorge is not high.

But it is enough to look down on Digong Gate.

Especially on a midsummer night when the moon is sparse.

It's just that there are too many mosquitoes, and they always drill into the lapels and sleeves.

"Mingfu, are we going to...see the stars?"

"If you want to look at the stars, why did my junior sister and I take you with us?"

"..."

Makes sense.

On a narrow lawn protruding like a high platform on Longbei Mountain, Diao Xiancheng led a few long followers behind him. He couldn't help stretching out his hands to scratch everywhere. At the same time, he looked at the backs of the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him, and asked curious questions from time to time.

This high lawn with a good view on Longbei Mountain is the place where the young county magistrate likes to bring them every morning.

From here, you can overlook the Digong Gate below, and even overlook Yunmengze, which is jagged with waves and thousands of islands like boats.

The scenery is good during the day.

But coming here in the middle of the night...

The magistrate of Diao county sighed melancholy, it was really difficult to meet such an official in the Ming government, and he was not blessed to endure it.

He can always give you something new.

"Mingfu, then why don't we go down, don't we go to the gate... Why do we come here in the middle of the night?"

"Didn't you say it, interesting thing."

Ouyang Rong turned around with a smile, and after applying a small bottle of mosquito repellent ointment prepared for him by his junior sister, he threw it to Diao Xiancheng, who was huddled behind him:

"Wipe it on. Well, Mr. Diao, come a little closer."

Diao Xiancheng quickly took it, his eyes lit up, he smeared it, and said in his mouth:

"Mingfu, the lower officials are afraid of heights, so don't get too close to the cliff, or you will get dizzy easily."

"come here."

"Why don't you just forget about it, what happened next, the Ming government can just tell the lower official directly, and the lower official listen carefully..."

"come over."

"Ming Mansion, I'm really afraid of heights, I fell off the roof when I was young."

"I'm not interested in Mr. Diao's childhood. Come here, you can't fall."

"Mingfu..."

"I told you to come here, don't pretend to be confused."

"Ah...Mingfu, don't!"

The young county magistrate smiled and grabbed the thin arm of the old county magistrate who looked like a thin monkey, and pulled him to his side, which is the edge of the lawn halfway up the mountain, pointing at the direction of the Digong gate under his finger, and raised his chin as a gesture.

"Diao Xiancheng see clearly what they are doing?"

"Working overtime at night... right?"

"You call this night duty overtime?" Xie Lingjiang squinted at the old fritter next to him who didn't want to touch anything:
"Sneaking is like a nest of mice. Oh, no, there is still a little difference. After all, it is regarded as guarding and stealing, and it is also on night duty. Do you want to give them another supper?"

The Prime Minister of Diao County shrank his head and kept silent like a cicada.

The eyes that originally wanted to dodge were attracted by the scene that was happening quietly inside the Digong gate.

He and the few followers behind him stretched their necks and stared at the strange creature below.

On the Digong gate with torches set up every ten meters, there are many figures.

A group of craftsmen under Mr. Chen were carefully carrying wooden barrels. Under the leadership of a chubby official, they filed into the inner gate of Digong Gate, which was about to be completed and was finally completed.

At the door of the lock chamber of the inner gate, Mr. Chen and other old craftsmen took out the keys, opened the door one by one, and let the craftsmen enter.

You can faintly see these craftsmen carrying wooden barrels in and coming out empty-handed.

It was obvious that the weird wooden barrels were left in the inner lock room that was about to be completed and closed.

This scene was going on quietly on the gate, or it happened brightly. After all, it was brightly illuminated by the torches on the side, and it was difficult to cover it in the night.

But no one stopped it.

Looking to the left from the high platform of Longbei Mountain where Ouyang Rong and Diao Xiancheng are located, in the on-duty camp on the other side of the river beach, bonfires are being lit here and there, and many county clerks and workers are having dinner. rest.

It seemed that no one knew what was going on in an orderly manner at the Degong gate not far away.

In other words, some people may have seen it and even asked, but they just thought it was Mr. Chen and other craftsmen who were working at night, so they didn't have much doubt. The strangeness in Digong Gate.

Ouyang Rong turned his head and smiled and asked:
"Master Diao, what do you think of this scenery? Is it not for nothing?"

Diao Xiancheng remained silent, his round eyes quietly reflecting what happened below.

"Master Diao's neck is so long, it seems that he is not afraid of heights."

Ouyang Rong pondered for a while, then smiled.

Diao Xiancheng could not help but grasp the thin-necked porcelain bottle containing mosquito repellent cream in his hand, his mouth was dry, and he stammered:
"Mingfu, he...they are..."

"Obviously, working overtime at night." Ouyang Rong replied.

"..." Diao Xiancheng.

"Master Diao stopped pretending to be confused?" Xie Lingjiang said with a sideways look.

"Thank you, Master, for joking."

Diao Xiancheng laughed sarcastically, and looked at it silently for a while, then he couldn't help turning his head:
"Mingfu, Master Xie, let's just stand here, why don't we go down and take a look? Stop them?"

"Stop it, why stop it? Master Diao is dying? This is a slide that cannot be touched."

Ouyang Rong couldn't help leaning back slightly, bared his teeth and inhaled:
"Master Diao wants to catch the adulterer in bed? Well, you have to consider your own thin arms and legs, what if you can't beat the adulterer?"

The young county magistrate put away his joking expression and asked with a chuckle:
"Going on now, there are so many of them, how can we fight?"

"It's unreasonable to be so small and sneaky!"

Diao Xiancheng gritted his teeth, waved his sleeves and muttered loudly.

Then he watched Ouyang Rong's calm face, and asked cautiously:

"Then what should we do now, Ming Mansion? Do you want to stay out of the way for now? Let's bring troops to raid them tomorrow, arrest them all and interrogate them one by one?"

"Master Diao, why are you so anxious? Maybe they just brought in some flowers, plants, bricks, tiles and stones, which can be used as ballast stones in the lock chamber, adding weight... Well, what do you think of this rhetoric, Mr. Diao?" ?”

Diao Xiancheng immediately shook his head and said seriously:
"I don't believe it! If it's really a matter of justice, why did you choose to do it in the middle of the night? There must be a ghost in your heart...

"Mingfu, the wooden barrels brought in by the horse-drawn carriages of the priests of the Dragon King Temple are definitely not containing good things. It is recommended to investigate thoroughly immediately."

Ouyang Rong's sideways gaze withdrew from the face of Diao Xiancheng, who was speaking righteously, and silently looked at the craftsmen below who had finished transporting the wooden barrels and started to finish their work in an orderly manner.

He nodded, shook his head again, and only asked:

"Master Diao, do you see who are the people below?"

"Look... see clearly."

Diao Xiancheng organized the next language:
"A secretary named Yuan Tao, and Mr. Chen and his craftsmen."

Ouyang Rong asked casually:
"Then what are they doing?"

"Tonight, in the lock room of the inner gate of Digong Gate, I will transport buckets of things whose names and uses I don't know."

After a pause, seeing the young county magistrate in front of him was silent, Diao Xiancheng bit the bullet and continued to organize his words:
"These wooden barrels were brought in by the priests of the Dragon King Temple who were invited to clean the gate today. The excuse is that the craftsmen of the Liu family used the materials to build the inner gate."

"Oh? It turns out that Diao Xiancheng has such good eyesight, and he can see a lot."

Diao Xiancheng and his subordinates looked at each other, gritted their teeth and said:
"Ming Mansion! The subordinate officials and subordinates can clearly see what happened. If there is a problem with the newly built Di Gong gate, they are likely to be responsible for it! We must investigate thoroughly."

"Eh."

Ouyang Rong stood on the edge of the lawn cliff with his sleeves covered. For some reason, he sighed, nodded and said:
"However, Mr. Diao translated well."

Speaking of this, Ouyang Rong turned his head and smiled:
"Since Mr. Diao and everyone have seen it with their own eyes, it's fine. Don't talk too much these few days, and wait for the arrangement of the official."

Diao Xiancheng and the followers behind him were taken aback.

Ouyang Rong stared at them and asked softly, "Do you understand?"

"Ming...understood."

"Okay. Everyone, go back first. It's getting late, so don't delay Mr. Diao's sleep."

"Ming Fu is joking, business is important, business is important!"

Ouyang Rong smiled, and left with Xie Lingjiang, who was holding his sword up, without looking back:
"Master Diao went down the mountain by another road, go back on your own, be careful on the way. I still have some things to do, so I won't accompany you."

"Yes, Mingfu."

　Here it comes, grab the little tail of the day and cough.There is another update around twelve o'clock in the evening! (pout up)
