No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 11

After Ouyang Rong went out, he looked back at the plaque of Sanhuiyuan.

Getting rid of the woman in the skirt, striding out with his back to her... This kind of freedom and ease made him let out a breath of depression in his chest, and felt that in an instant, the outside world widened, and he felt a sense of joy.

In the past few days, Ouyang Rong was pinned down on the sickbed by Mrs. Zhen and bored in the house, with nothing to do, "hearing about it" and "thinking about it" too much.

I always feel like something is missing.

Finally, Master Shandao pointed out this morning: Instead of sitting and discussing the Tao, it is better to get up and do it.

The so-called three wisdoms not only need to "hear" and "think", but also "cultivate and practice"!
Ouyang Rong felt that that night in the underground palace, he was able to climb out of the "dangerous well" for a tiny sliver of hope; now, he can also repay the blessing of "returning back" which may be a glimmer of possibility on the way home, Go reckless and give ten thousand merits.

"Don't hesitate, dare to take risks, all beings are often hesitant; a man can achieve everything, because he knows and can do it."

Ouyang Rong recalled the fragmented poem from that day again, and murmured softly to himself: "There are mourners everywhere and the city is full of blood, is it just a single thought to save the common people... Since this is your last residual thought, and I need ten thousand merits, then I Even take your share down the mountain together, and do a good job for this Longcheng county magistrate to control the water!"

……

Yan Wuxie hurried to Donglin Temple, and saw Ouyang Rong waiting with his hands behind his back at the gate.

"Mingfu!"

"Talk while you walk."

"Yes, Mingfu."

On the mountain road with fallen leaves mixed with wet mud, the newly appointed magistrate of Longcheng County, Ruoguan, walked in front, and the young policeman in navy blue clothes took a step behind and followed behind.

"Mingfu, the flood at the foot of the mountain has receded a lot. The water washed down from Yunmengze in the south has flowed into the Yangtze River in the north. Many houses in the county town have been washed away, but the worst is still in the towns and villages under Longcheng. Most of the houses collapsed.

"The same is true for the fields. Most of the people's good fields have been flooded, and even the low-lying areas have not receded and become lakes. Except for those high-lying excellent fields, almost all of them belong to those few in the city. family gentry.

"On the contrary, the merchants and workers are fine. Peng Langdu rushed to repair it. The ships passing by Yunmengze and the Yangtze River docked as usual, and the impact was not too great. The Liu family's Guyue sword shop on the other side of the Butterfly Creek never stopped working. Not extinguished..."

Yan Wuxie sighed, pointing to the victims who dragged their families up to the temple on the mountain road from time to time, "The farmers who suffered the most losses are the farmers. Most of the victims and refugees inside and outside Longcheng are them. Those who had no house or land were completely washed away by the flood. In some places, even whole villages fled to the county seat, and the law and order has become a little tight.

"The magistrate of Diao County is opening granaries for you to release food, and he has joined forces with several well-meaning gentry in the city to spread porridge sheds..."

"'Great good man'." Ouyang Rong, who was walking forward with his back behind his back, suddenly interrupted and smiled, "So we also have them in Dragon City."

Yan Wuxie was taken aback for a moment, and asked curiously, "What is Mingfu laughing at..."

"It's okay, I just smelled something familiar. Liulang continued."

Yan Wuxie was going to explain the situation of the flood, but he heard the magistrate Ruoguan in front of him suddenly turn his head and say, "Needless to say about the flood in advance. Liulang, introduce me to the adults of our county government. They have been in a coma for a long time this time." , I'm a little lost."

Yan Wuxie frowned slightly, "Mingfu is the lord. The biggest parent officials in Longcheng, the county magistrate, master secretary, and county lieutenant are all the secondary officials of Mingfu. Why did the lord say that Mingfu is humble."

Ouyang Rong smiled without explaining.Things like power are bottom-up, but they often give people the appearance of top-down.

Yan Wuxie didn't write any ink, and told everything he knew about the situation of Longcheng County's magistrate, master book, and county lieutenant.

Although these three official positions are small, together with the county magistrate, they constitute the highest decision-making level of a local county-level unit in Dazhou, and they are all big figures in the eyes of the local people...

After listening to it, Ouyang Rong pondered for a while, and was about to go down the mountain to have a look, but Yan Wuxie seemed to remember something and stopped him.

"Ming Fu still remembers the day before yesterday, the humble officer mentioned... the very brave man who really saved your life?"

Ouyang Rong turned his head in a daze, "I remember, what's wrong."

Yan Wuxie clasped his fists to plead guilty, and said in shame:
"His name is Liu Ashan, and he is also recuperating in Donglin Temple. After he was rescued back to the Ming Mansion that day, the man's waist was also cut by a sharp weapon in the torrent. Later, the injury became more and more serious, and then there was a flood. Their family His property was gone, and he was homeless. It was his younger sister who came to the door in the middle of the night, and the humble official found out about it, so he made a proposal and arranged a guest house for their family in Donglin Temple on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming government forgives..."

Before Yan Wuxie finished speaking, he was taken aback for a moment, because there was no figure of the young county magistrate in front of him, and Ouyang Rong's voice came from behind.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and take me to visit the hero."

……

Da Zhou had a slave system; it also divided the people into good and low, and there are many kinds of low status, such as craftsmen, musicians and actors;

And slaves are the lowest level of low status. The so-called "slaves and sluts are more than livestock", life and death are in the hands of their holders.

However, slaves can be divided into official slaves and private slaves according to their affiliation.

The Silla maidservant next to my aunt is a private slave, and this kind of treatment depends on the master's family.

And the family that Ouyang Rong saw right now were official slaves.

...the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward.

Yan Wuxie was guarding the door, but did not come in.

Only Ouyang Rong was standing in front of the sick bed, a little at a loss, wearing a blue shirt that Zhen Shi and the others had taken care of.

Because he was the only one standing in the room.

As for the three members of Liu's family, one of them, the old and the young, were kneeling and crawling on the ground to kowtow to salute, and there was a tattooed man lying on the bed, as thin as a stick of firewood, all of them were dying, but they still struggled to get up and salute.

"You guys... You guys... Don't be polite... Don't be polite, you are already like this, strong man, don't salute, and take care of your wounds."

Ouyang Rong was at a loss for words, he didn't know how to speak, he hurriedly pressed down the sick man who was about to get out of bed, and hurriedly reached out to help the old and young on the ground.

Ouyang Rong knew that this was the norm in this era, but even if he could live with his conscience, he was afraid that his mere [-] merit points would disagree.

He exchanged warm greetings and got a general understanding of the situation.

The weak man with thin face and tattooed face on the sick bed was Liu Ashan who rescued him that day.

There is also a little girl with the same ink on her forehead and tattooed face in the house. She looks very pretty, especially her eyes are very big and energetic. She looks a bit like a girl in a Two-dimensional anime. Ouyang Rong can't help but After a few more glances, he really hadn't seen such spiritual eyes for a long time.

It's just that at this moment, the cardamom girl had red eye circles, with a sad look on her face, she buried her head deeply, and didn't look at him.Ouyang Rong heard Ah Shan calling her just now, it seemed to be Ah Qing.

In addition, there is a trembling old woman, this is Liu Shi, the mother of the two brothers and sisters.

Ouyang Rong was originally tall and slender, with a clean and curly temperament, standing in the room at this time, it was like throwing a night pearl into the dust, very conspicuous.

It's just that he doesn't know it himself, this is the sentence that Yan Wuxie, who frequently looks back at the house, describes in his heart.

"Da Lang takes good care of his wounds. I'll let Detective Yan come and see him often. If you need anything, medicine or supplements, please feel free to tell me..."

"Aunt also pay attention to health, eat and drink well, I will ask the host to send some servants over, if there is anything I can ask them to help..."

"Little sister...Little sister studies hard...whether it is learning embroidery or other specialties. Don't let mother and brother worry about it. If you have any difficulties, you can also mention it to Liu Lang..."

Ouyang Rong searched his brains and came up with a whole sentence, wanting to care and comfort the three members of Liu's family, but what made him feel a little strange was that the three people's reactions were not so warm and grateful, flattered, but with different expressions.

Liu Shi and Ah Qing seemed to be a little afraid of him, and they were timid when they answered;

As for Liu Ashan, who was lying on the bed, except for being pressed down by Ouyang Rong when he stood up and saluted at the beginning, he stared blankly at the gray bed curtain above his head the whole time, without any surprise or touch on his face.

The few people asked and answered like puppets on a string. If Ouyang Rong didn't ask, they didn't take the initiative to talk, and occasionally laughed with them, and their muscles stiffened, which was a bit embarrassing.

But Ouyang Rong was not annoyed, he only said that he came too late, it was indeed his fault first, that he neglected his savior.

In the future, I will have to come and go around frequently when I have time... The county magistrate Ruoguan thought to himself.

"Then I won't disturb Brother Ah Shan's recuperation, I'll come see you another day!"

"Master, go slowly."

Ouyang Rong said goodbye and went out, finally heaving a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Yan Wuxie leaned into his ear and whispered:

"Mingfu, I just checked, and the symptoms of Liu Ashan's injury seem to be Jin Chuang's disease, and it seems that there is no way to save it..."

Someone made a move.
