No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 32 Treating People With Sincerity Ouyang Rong (Happy New Year to the brothers!)

Ouyang Rong felt that some people gave face very much, but they also didn't give face very much.

It seems that in the eyes of some people in Longcheng, the Qipin county magistrate of the Great Zhou Dynasty came to kneel and beg for food.

In the lobby of Yuanming Building, the singing maid on the donation stage announced crisply:
"This time, there are thirteen companies raising a total of 780 yuan! Among them, Longcheng Water Conservancy raised a total of 130 yuan, and the county magistrate's paper and pen fees raised a total of 650 yuan."

Under the direct gaze or peripheral vision of everyone in the audience, Ouyang Rong, who was sitting in the first row, suddenly turned his head.

Instead of looking at the gentry and powerful men in the hall, he looked at Xie Lingjiang.

And it happened to meet her worried eyes.

"Junior sister, it seems that the reward for you is still too light. You are not only the first donation, but also the richest woman on the list. However, the most valuable thing on the senior brother's body is the bead. I will make it up to you next time."

Seeing the senior brother's sincere smile, Xie Lingjiang opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't say anything, and finally just shook his head:

"It doesn't matter to me. As long as the brother is fine."

"What can I do?" He wondered.

Under the eyes of everyone with different thoughts, Ouyang Rong rubbed his face and got up, grabbed the hem of his official uniform to prevent it from dragging the floor, and walked slowly onto the stage; Xie Lingjiang followed silently without squinting.

"The girl has worked hard."

The young county magistrate thanked the newspaper singing maid earnestly, and the little girl at the age of cardamom blushed slightly under his gaze, and left the stage in a happy mood, so the young county magistrate was left alone standing calmly in front of the two red donation plates , facing all the eyes of the audience.

The young county magistrate lowered his head to look at it, then stretched out his hand, first picked up the water conservancy donation tray on the left and weighed it, then picked up the personal paper and pen fee donation tray on the right and weighed it.

On the left is the hand weight of 130 guan coins, and on the right is five times that of the left, which is heavy.

He was not angry at all, calmly raised his head as if asking himself:

"It turns out that everyone thinks highly of me. The water conservancy matters of the imperial court and the county government are only one-fifth of the gifts given to me."

The gentry and rich businessmen in the audience were all silent, and some silently avoided his sight.

And Liu Ziwen copied his hands and sat in the back row under the stage, staring at the young county magistrate intently.

The Young Patriarch of the Liu family had a sincere and harmless look on his face, and there was a little bit of worry in his eyes... because of his limited ability, he couldn't satisfy his parents and officials.

That's right, sometimes people's eyes can convey so much emotion that they can be seen at a glance, just like the tacit understanding of changing positions when you pat your butt.

But what Liu Ziwen didn't know was that Ouyang Rong, like him, was also a person who "treats people with sincerity".

So the young county magistrate stretched out a finger and shook the audience:

"But one of you may be a smart fool who's got it a little wrong."

Paused:
"I'm not here to beg for food, it's you who are here to beg for food."

As soon as this remark came out, everything was silent.

The gentry and wealthy merchants in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay.

With a "squeak", it was the young county magistrate who walked calmly, dragged a grand master's chair over, sat down on the stage, looked down at the audience, and was silent.

And after this rather scary behavior, there was no other movement on the stage for a long time. Slowly, many gentry and wealthy businessmen looked at the stage mockingly, and even began to whisper.

"Cough." Liu Ziwen coughed in a timely manner, stopping the noise on the field.

Liu Ziwen glanced at the scholar on the stage, sighed lightly, stood up and said helplessly:
"Replying to the county magistrate, fundraising is a matter of your wishes within the scope of your ability. This year, the floods suddenly hit everyone, and we have done our best. However, it is the duty of the people to share the worries of the court and the adults. Responsibility, our Liu family still has some surplus food, and we will cooperate with the adults to build more porridge sheds in the city to serve porridge."

Ouyang Rong turned a deaf ear to it, the younger junior sister was carrying a teapot with a long mouth, pouring tea into the cup on the table in front of him, her hand was very steady, Ouyang Rong looked at the thin water line in the sky, very interested.

Being ignored by the public, Liu Ziwen, who has always been gentle, couldn't help frowning secretly. If you are rewarded with a step, don't hurry down. Could it be that you are really a stubborn elm head?
"Your Majesty?"

"Shh."

Ouyang Rong suddenly stretched out a finger and put it in front of his mouth, signaling to be quiet.

His eyes focused on the teacup on the table, as if he was paying attention to the dark green tea leaves swirling in the boiling water.

Not only Liu Ziwen and others in the audience felt that they were playing tricks, but even Xie Lingjiang was confused and curious, and looked sideways to see what was so magical about the water in his brother's teacup.

The result is, of course, mediocre.

Looking at the motionless young county magistrate on the stage, Liu Ziwen smiled suddenly, shook his head to himself, and turned to signal to other country gentry colleagues that they could leave.

At the same time, the Young Patriarch of the Liu family stood up and went to get the herbal tea on the table, ready to take a last sip.

But his fingers suddenly stopped in the air, and his eyes were "nailed" to the water surface in the cup. Similar to Liu Ziwen, there were several other younger and sharper country gentry and wealthy businessmen.

All stared blankly at the circle after circle of ripples on the surface of the water in the cup, the ripples seemed to be regular.

This is... there is an earth dragon turning over in the distance?no!It's a horseshoe!
Liu Ziwen suddenly raised his head and looked at Ouyang Rong who was sitting leisurely on the stage.

The latter had stood up at this moment, picked up the teacup, and drank it down. He stepped off the stage and warmly opened the second-floor window of Yuanming Building for everyone:
The noisy streets have been artificially dispersed.

At the end of the empty long street, there were three hundred cavalry standing in awe. Even the hoof waves that were deliberately lightened, in the sight of the gentry on the second floor, roared like an overwhelming sea.

But such rushing iron cavalry suddenly stopped in front of Yuanming Tower under the abrupt gesture of the first cavalry captain, and they all got off their horses in unison.

It's elite!How could he have the right to deploy troops, if he wanted to rebel?Liu Ziwen and the others shrank their pupils.

Immediately, Yan Liulang, who had disappeared for a long time since the fundraising, took a heroic school captain upstairs to the young county magistrate by the window.

The captain's face was cold, and he clasped his fists and said loudly:

"The magistrate of Ouyang County, the last general Qin Heng, the captain of Guoyi of Jiangzhou Zhechong Prefecture, led [-] cavalry to assist in handling the case."

Ouyang Rong seemed to have a draft in mind, pointed directly in the direction of the county government office, and said in a loud voice: "General Qin, immediately go and block the east warehouse of the Longcheng county government office. Without a warrant from the official, no fly is allowed to enter."

"The general obeys!" Qin Heng went downstairs without hesitation, keeping his eyes on the whole time, not looking at the pile of scared and shivering lambs in the hall.

In the hall, a few old squires with trembling bodies couldn't help but flatter them and said, "Master County Magistrate, you...you...have you misunderstood haha..."

Ouyang Rong waved his hands, and said in a calm manner: "It's a trivial matter, just to check the account, the old man can relax, go back later and have a good rest, don't think about it."

He smiled again at the expressionless Liu Ziwen and the terrified country gentry and rich merchants, turned and went downstairs with the slightly stunned junior sister, before leaving the gate, the young county magistrate seemed to remember something, or kindly reminded him Said:
"By the way, if there is any violation of the rules or tax evasion, I will copy your whole family."

The audience was silent.

　I was fooled by the reward from the boss today... Let me slowly post a single chapter, woo woo woo
