No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 544: As expected, the golden cicada escapes from its shell!

There will be no vacuum of power, only transfer.

There is no sentence that can describe the current situation in Xunyang City better than this.

The female officials of the Supervisory Council, represented by Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen, were invited out in almost eight sedans. When they arrived at the Xingzifang construction site, many officials were already waiting eagerly.

Yuan Huaimin, Yan Liulang, Chen You and other officials from Jiangzhou Hall received the news in advance and rushed to greet him.

As soon as Ouyang Rong came down, he was immediately surrounded by them, as if he had found a backbone.

Especially Yuan Huaimin, whose haggard and sleepless face suddenly took on a new look, as if he was completely relieved.

Ouyang Rong didn't say anything polite. After Chao Yuan Huaimin and Yan Liulang inquired about the situation, they began to make arrangements and issued orders one after another.

He seems to understand these fellow officials very well. The orders he issues and the things he arranges are more in line with the executive officers' strengths, and he will also give some advice based on their character.

This kind of intimate knowledge of everything gave the officials a great sense of security. Of course, at the same time, there was also a sense of urgency and seriousness, because they knew that the young officer in front of him who was temporarily exercising the power of governor was not easy to fool, and he might be more serious than others. They are also well versed in what they are asked to do…

While the entire execution team was refreshed, the complaints and noises throughout the construction site also began to disappear, or at least weakened a lot.

This is an atmosphere that is hard to describe, and it sounds a bit incredible, but it actually has immediate results.

For example, those workers and supervisors on the construction site who are controlled and are not allowed to move even half a step away from where they are eating, drinking or eating.

As an object of supervision by pairs of distrustful eyes, surrounded by a circle of black-armored soldiers holding torches, Ruoyouruowu endured the mental and physical pressure of a night, and had dark circles under his eyes, or gathered in private. Complaints, trembling, or pessimism and fear.

Now I heard that former Chief Shi Ouyang Lianghan had arrived, and I saw his figure appearing, and he was surrounded by serious-faced "noble officials" such as Rong Zhen and Qin Yanqing. It seemed that he was the leader and started to fight again. Returning to clean up the situation.

It was nothing at first. Maybe not everyone had met the former chief in private, but among them there was always a group of laborers similar to Huang Feihong who worked at the Xunyang Grottoes, and they understood Ouyang Rong's fair, just, gentle and mellow style of conduct.

Naturally, they all breathed a sigh of relief and began to mutter happily, "It's saved" and "Master Chang Shi is reasonable." When the other workers heard this, they were either emotionally infected or asked about the deeds of the former Chang Shi, showing reverence on their faces... …

It was obviously a cold and drizzly night, with little food and clothing, but a warm current called a sense of security gradually gathered and flowed among the crowd, becoming more attractive than torches to draw people close to them for warmth.

Among them, many people have never seen or come into contact with Ouyang Lianghan. They have only heard praises from others and have a weak good impression. However, these weak things gathered together to make up for the most lacking confidence in the audience at the moment.

Rong Zhen, who originally had a serious face, and Nanny Song, who had a blank face, were a little surprised to find that the whole place had become quieter.

In addition, the atmosphere among the elite black-armored soldiers who were dispatched also changed slightly.

This was mainly due to the leading generals such as Qin Yanqing. After learning that Ouyang Rong had arrived, Qin Yanqing, who was originally unsmiling in front of Wei Shaoqi, Lin Cheng, and Wang Lengran, went to greet him in person for the first time. In addition, the generals below found Qin Yanqing. There was some smile on his face.

Coupled with the fact that Generalissimo Qin Jingqin had more or less praised the young former chief, the generals in various positions were naturally a little more relaxed like their superiors. They were not as cold and serious as before, and their emotions were conveyed to the bottom. , the black-armored soldiers were also less aggressive...

The impact of Ouyang Rong's arrival, etc., is difficult to describe.

What is prestige? Prestige is not violence. In a sense, prestige is a consensus, a specific consensus on specific people. There is a consensus that there is one emperor throughout the ages, there is a consensus that the most holy teacher is a leader, and there is also a consensus that national heroes are heroes.

Consensus for a person can be praise or contempt. Good consensus is naturally difficult to gather and maintain. But once a person has gathered this kind of consensus and is recognized by everyone, he will have prestige and can gather it at any time. A piece of loose sand, exercising power.

The first thing Ouyang Rong did when he arrived at the Xingzi Lake construction site was to ask the people around him to light the brightest torches and walk around the site in the name of inspecting the site.

Let everyone see him clearly and know that Ouyang Lianghan is here.

The effect is also obvious to all.

In the intertwined light and darkness of the torch and the night, a pair of complicated and hopeful bloodshot eyes looked at this slender, tall and tall figure. Later, he was even seen walking to a location near the lake, where there was a simple memorial platform built by workers.

Under the spotlight, Ouyang Rong offered a glass of sacrificial wine. Some were silent, some were moved, and some were choked.

Turning around, Ouyang Rong immediately started to deal with this mess... He first calmed down the labor groups who were the biggest suspects. He frankly explained the current situation to everyone, clarifying the relationship between the Supervisory Yuan and Jiangzhou Hall. The reason why this place must be sealed off.

Immediately, most of the black-armored soldiers were removed from the construction site, at least not supervising them like death row prisoners, and ordered the people below to prepare hot water, set up tents to warm up, and improve the situation at the construction site...

Ouyang Rong also told the female officers and soldiers patrolling the city that they were not allowed to disturb the rest of the closed family at night, and that everything would be discussed during the day... and so on, arranged one by one.

Seeing the soldiers guarding the construction site withdrawing one by one and relaxing their guard, Grandma Song immediately lowered the corner of her mouth.

Next, Ouyang Rong's proposal made the white-eyed old woman strongly object: "Lift the entire city's alert outside Xingzifang? No, what if we let the thief escape?"

As a result, Ouyang Rong's faint words made her choke back:
"After the incident, only Xingzifang was immediately banned and had the strictest control. If Xingzifang didn't trap him, how could the other ones have left long ago? I heard Rong Nvshi mention it, this guy has a legendary obsession. Swordman's appearance, is the legendary swordsman kidding you?
"Now that Xingzifang is blocked, we can only prevent one possibility. After killing someone, Zibujian has temporarily lost the ability to move and can only stay in place. This only needs to be checked... He can be found outside Xingzifang. There is little hope, there is no significance in investigating, it only affects the people's livelihood, and it is unnecessary to implicate the whole city for the death of a few people. "

Nanny Song's expression was uncertain. She stared closely at Ouyang Rong's expression and pursed her lips, still not letting go.

After a while, at Qin Yanqing's suggestion, everyone began to vote... Finally, under the gaze of Ouyang Rong, Rong Zhen, who personally invited him to come, also voted in favor.

Nanny Song was the only one left to object, and she said harshly: "If you let Master Die Lianhua go, let's see how you deal with the saints and the imperial court!"

Ouyang Rong said calmly:

"The person who should deal with His Majesty is Deputy Inspector Song. Do you really think that the most important thing now is to investigate and apprehend the murderer? I suggest you let the personal grudges go."

"What does Ouyang Sima mean?"

Ouyang Rong was too lazy to answer and asked Yuan Huaimin to go to Xiushui Fang to invite King Xunyang and the Crown Prince to come forward in the city tomorrow morning to appease the people of Xunyang who had been in shock all night.

Immediately, he turned back to other matters.

Nanny Song squinted at Ouyang Rong's back and wanted to stop him, but Rong Zhen pulled her cuffs.

After stabilizing the senior, Rong Zhen stepped forward to a deserted place and took the opportunity to ask Ouyang Rong:
"Ouyang Lianghan, what did you mean by those words before?"

Ouyang Rong didn't look at her, and pointed to the hanging Buddha head not far away, which he had asked to slowly put down.

"Rong Nu Shi, don't forget your responsibilities and those of the Overwatch Council. Casting a giant Buddha for His Majesty is your true duty. Investigating the case and pursuing the culprit is just incidental. Don't confuse priorities.

"If I were you, I would run to check the condition of the Buddha's head as soon as possible instead of focusing all my energy on venting my anger and catching the murderer. That Aunt Song is a dead disciple, which is understandable, but what about you, Rong Nu Shi? He was making trouble with her. Oh, by the way, it seems that Rong Nushi also hates this son.

"Fortunately, the Buddha's head seems to be intact this time. Not to mention whether the owner of Dielianhua can be caught or not, so what if he is caught? At most, he can take the blame, but it has deviated from the main goal, and he is still responsible for dereliction of duty... So you guys The better you protect the Buddha's head now, at least the less likely you will be severely punished by His Majesty, because it is still useful, so you can atone for your sins.

"But I still say the same thing, is the legendary sword holder so easy to catch? This time, the opposition forces in Tiannan Jianghu, who are suspected of hooking up with Li Zhengyan, may have set up a trap with the owner of Die Lianhua, and let them lure you away, and then Let the owner of Die Lianhua secretly deploy the sword... If it was really so thorough, I wonder, would they have arranged a safe escape route for him?
"And to think about it from another perspective, the fact that the Buddha's head has not been completely destroyed may mean that he did not have enough time. He only had enough time to destroy the Buddha's body and delay it to the maximum extent, because the Buddha's head can be transported from Luoyang at any time, but the Buddha's body is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Then why is it too late? It may be related to the fact that he wants to retreat in a special way."

Rong Zhen frowned: "You mean, he has left Xingzifang with the tripod sword?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry, and he is sitting on the ground waiting to die; the other is that he has escaped and left Xingzifang immediately after the murder. And I heard from you that the powerful old musician used the sound of the piano to help you find After passing the murderer, there are currently no strange Qi training morale pillars in Xingzifang, so... that's about it, just have the right attitude.

"Protecting the Buddha's head is already the biggest hardship. What you have to do now is to check carefully. Why is there the sound of the piano and a sword holder is missing? Follow the investigation and explore this person's routine to prevent it. This matter is called a long lesson. In the eyes of His Majesty, he has done his duty.

"Instead of wasting time like now, always following the rhythm of the owner of Dielianhua, does Rong Nushi understand?"

His tone was serious and meaningful.

Rong Zhen turned his head and looked silently at the back of Ouyang Rongyan as he left.

After a while, she went to talk to Grandma Song...

The next day, Xunyang City stabilized, and about two days later, Xingzifang was lifted from the blockade.

On the third day, the Xingzi Lake construction site, which was guarded by strict soldiers, was finally unsealed.

After only one elimination, the blockade was quickly lifted. Of course, Aunt Song objected. However, whenever Ouyang Rong looked at her and said, "Why don't she take charge and go back next time?", everyone voted silently and chose the future without hesitation. By.

The Buddha's head has been carefully protected.

Only the death scenes of Lin Cheng, Wang Lengran, Wei Shaoqi and others were left, which were blocked by Si Tianjian.

After checking for lack of spiritual energy cultivation, the workers left one after another, including a man in a felt hat with an empty wine gourd tied around his waist.

No one knew that after the man in the felt hat returned, the whole small courtyard soon became empty. He and his daughter went to Gezao Mountain, but claimed to the neighbors that he was returning to his hometown...

In the critical three days after the collapse of the Xingzifang Buddha, the transition finally went smoothly without further turmoil. Everyone in Jiangzhou began to wait quietly for the court's reaction.
