No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 531 Rong Zhen: Just a colleague (please vote for me~)

Compared with the noisy and busy statue construction site outside, the conference hall is deserted and empty.

Wang Lengran's words were serious and thoughtful.

There are plenty of warning bells.

I don't know how he, a weak and weak civil servant with no strength, dared to say such harsh words to the fat young man in the silent hall where they were the only two.

Because in front of him was a sixth-grade qigong practitioner from the Yin-Yang family, known as the Jade Girl and the Golden Boy. With one hand, he could unscrew his skinny head that stretched forward.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for the tip."

Lin Cheng lowered his head slightly and said thanks.

The corners of Wang Lengran's mouth suddenly curved, then narrowed again.

"By the way, why doesn't Young Master Lin suspect that Ouyang Lianghan did this incident with the Wang family? You are the one being scolded now. Isn't he the one who is most happy to see it come to fruition?"

When Lin Cheng heard this, his expression remained unchanged and he said:
"I may not like Ouyang Lianghan's posture of standing and talking without pain in his back, but I know his character very well.

"So it definitely won't be him."

"Oh, as expected, we are both from humble backgrounds. We really feel sympathy for each other."

Wang Lengran snorted and stopped denying something.

Putting down the tea cup, he sighed and patted Lin Cheng on the shoulder:

"Come on Mr. Lin, let's work together this time to share your Majesty's worries and build this Xingzifang Buddha.

"In a sense, we actually have no way out. Don't think so far ahead. Without the credit of this statue, how do you think Prince Xunyang and Ouyang Lianghan will regain their divine grace?
"It's still early, I don't know if they can survive until then."

Lin Cheng suddenly said:
"Rong Zhen Nv Shi and Ouyang Lianghan seem to have a good relationship. The two often work together. Someone saw them participating in a poetry meeting together recently. The Donglin Giant Buddha was built and it was Rong Zhen Nv Shi who presided over it."

When Wang Lengran heard this, he couldn't help but asked:
"Is this giant Buddha really that powerful?"

The Xiaguan Lingtai Lang, who had come into contact with the legendary Buddha in Shangyang Palace in Luodu, didn't even raise his eyelids:
"The day the Buddha was built was the beginning of the quelling of the rebellion in the southwest."

Wang Lengran sighed:
"Your Majesty is so kind to Rong Zhennvshi."

Lin Cheng frowned a little:

"On the day when the Wang family's mother and son died tragically, Rong Zhen's daughter Shi was also present. She looked at me with something wrong. When we met later, I tried to say hello several times, but she ignored me."

Wang Lengran nodded: "I can see that Mr. Lin is not as lovable as Ouyang Lianghan."

"What time has it been? Mr. Wang is still joking. Mr. Wang also said just now that we should work together."

Lin Chengyi spoke righteously and asked with a straight face: "So what the Third Young Master said before, for Rong Zhen, the so-called favor recommended by the Wei Palace at the beginning is of no use, Rong Zhen's female history does not appreciate it."

Wang Lengran asked: "Except for Ouyang Lianghan, has Mr. Lin ever seen Rong Zhennv Shi getting close to anyone else in the Xunyang Palace?"

"No. Except for Ouyang Lianghan, who we have a relationship with, this female historian doesn't seem to have a good attitude towards anyone."

"That's alright. What are Mr. Lin worried about?"

Wang Lengran shook his head.

"In a sense, Rong Zhen and Mr. Lin are the same kind of people. They are both blessed by His Majesty's kindness, so they should be especially considerate of Your Majesty and help His Majesty share his worries and solve problems.

"Look at this incident between the Wang family and their son. Rong Zhen has been trying to embarrass you up to this point. Is he going to arrest you and not let you have a statue?"

"That's not true...that's true."

Lin Cheng nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Lengran suddenly asked:

"Do you think Ouyang Lianghan is really that honest? This time the Wang family's mother and son incident caused such a big incident, and their death was so tragic, he has no emotion at all? He didn't even follow King Xunyang to impulsively write a letter to criticize us... This was before That guy who refuses to obey orders?"

Lin Cheng looked sideways:

"If you really dare to intervene, won't you be suspected by His Majesty this time? There is a memorial from Mr. Wang."

Wang Lengran frowned and thought:
"That's true, but these are all hindsight. Did he know about it in advance? Did he guess it or was he too alert... This guy is so cunning, it's heart-breaking."

"You can't be really scared, knowing that the will of the saint cannot be disobeyed by the Five Mountains Barbarians, so you calm down and don't want to stand out and cause trouble in the short term?"

Lin Cheng said.

Wang Lengran frowned and looked at him.

Without waiting for Wang Lengran to speak, Lin Cheng continued to analyze:
"This boy is stubborn, but he doesn't know how to adapt. He has just been along for the ride for too long and has forgotten the pain of being demoted. After this setback, smart people will understand, and he is certainly no exception."

Wang Lengran hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on his point of view:
"No, this is the analysis, but I have been fighting with him for a long time, and I know better about this guy... There is something evil about this guy, and his luck seems to be reversed every time. It is really puzzling. I always feel that it is not that simple, and I still have to Be careful."

Lin Cheng glanced at him without comment:
"It's a good thing that Mr. Wang has a sense of vigilance and prevention."

Wang Lengran stood up at this time and dusted his palms:
"Looking at it this way, it is not a bad thing that Rong Zhen Nv Shi is close to him. Mr. Lin, you did not find the wrong person when you went to Rong Zhen Nv Shi before.

"In Xunyang City, the person who should protect the Donglin Buddha of Xingzifang most should be this Rong Zhennv Shi. It's just right for her to keep an eye on Ouyang Lianghan."

Lin Cheng nodded and asked:
"By the way, Mr. Wang, what's going on now?"

Wang Lengran nodded with satisfaction:
"Mr. Lin is still very keen on recognizing people. This Pei Shisanniang is indeed a talent. She wants to make money, but she is very good at getting involved with the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce in the city. She knows how to honor her official achievements. The new house in Xingzifang The renovation plan is very beautiful and I am very satisfied. ”

"I'm not asking about this." Lin Cheng shook his head, "Over there in the Jiangzhou lobby, what are Yuan Huaimin and others doing recently? Are there any signs of interference?"

Wang Lengran immediately sneered:
"This Yuan Huaimin is very honest, but he is also quite mediocre and useless. He is only busy with trivial things. I heard that he is currently repairing the old city gate and worrying about the prices in the East Market and other trivial matters."

"Renovate the city gate and the price of goods in the East Market?" Lin Cheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before nodding: "That's good, Mr. Wang will keep an eye on it."

"It's natural."

After a while, the private meeting ended, and Wang Lengran's figure disappeared from the door with his hands behind his back.

Lin Cheng withdrew his gaze and sat in the lobby for a while.

Wang Lengran was lucky this time. It was obviously a profit-sharing arrangement between Lin Cheng, Pei Shisanniang and other Yangshangs, but Wang Lengran also had a share of the benefit invisibly:

The location of the Donglin Giant Buddha in Xingzifang is bound to greatly increase the value of the remaining residential land in Xingzifang. Not only is it in short supply, but it is also close to the water and is on a first-come-first-served basis. If you can view this spectacular Buddha, I believe many Jiangnan rich people are willing to pay for it.

Pei Shisanniang, Shen Bingqiang and other merchants who were almost forced out of Xunyang City by Ouyang Lianghan naturally saw business opportunities.

Now taking advantage of the opportunity of building the Donglin Buddha and receiving strong support from the governor's office, he began to acquire the homestead of Xingzifang aggressively after lifting the restrictions previously imposed by Ouyang Lianghan.

At the same time, they also reached a tacit agreement with Wang Lengran.

Pei Sanniang, Shen Bingqiang and others helped the governor's office to renovate Xingzifang and earn profits. The governor's office would get a big share of the pie and gain political achievements at the same time.

After all, Xingzifang is a long-standing problem, and Ouyang Lianghan, who is recognized as having outstanding abilities, seems to be afraid to solve it. If Wang Lengran can do it and submit a brilliant answer to the court, he will naturally gain glory and rise to the top.

After thinking about the small thoughts and interests of all parties, and not knowing how long he had been sitting alone, Lin Cheng took a sip of tea, stood up and walked out of the door.

After a while, the fat young man walked across the busy construction site and came to the shore of Xingzi Lake.

With his back facing the majestic headless Buddha that was gradually taking shape, he stared at the small pavilion in the center of the lake and murmured to himself:
"Look for the stars and avoid the moon, pick the stars and avoid the moon... The teacher's divination is really accurate. When I create a statue here, the spiritual energy in the Dantian is ready to move, but..."

He suddenly looked back and looked at the demolished Qingyang Street not far away, and the scene of "two fires" that day flashed before his eyes.

"Dazhou belongs to the virtue of metal, metal generates water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal...fire overcomes metal?"

……

After eating in the breakfast shop, Ouyang Rong saw that Rong Zhen was not moving, so he had to take the initiative to take out the money and put it on the table. He retrieved some snacks from the shop owner and stuffed them back into his pocket. When he turned around, he saw that Rong Zhen had stood up and walked towards the Overwatch Council, as if he didn't want to wait for him.

Ouyang Rong stepped forward and chased after him: "That..."

"I owe you. Please give me a favor next time."

Rong Zhen spoke softly.

"What's next? Okay. That's not what I'm talking about."

Ouyang Rong watched her roll up the back of Qingsi's head, frowned and asked:
"Why didn't you tell me about your special quota and Lin Cheng's matter before?"

"I didn't know you would misunderstand and believe Lin Cheng's words so easily."

"But you deliberately didn't say anything about the Big Buddha and the special quota. Naturally, I can only refer to his words, and besides, he hasn't shown his cards yet at that time."

Ouyang Rong Ningmei explained:
"Looking at it now, it turns out that there is still selfishness behind the fight for the right to statue in Xingzifang."

Rong Zhen said with a straight face: "I have repeatedly said that he cannot take away my position here. It is because you did not listen carefully. A smart person can figure it out, and you are not stupid."

Ouyang Rong was speechless and held back a sentence: "How can I guess what you said? It's like serving a saint, right? You have to carefully consider your words."

She frowned: "If there is a tacit understanding among colleagues, you can understand it without saying anything."

"..."

Ouyang Rong thought for a while and tried to ask: "Are you sure this is a colleague?"

"if not?"

"Okay, I'm too stupid and don't have a tacit understanding. Then next time I'll act based on Rong Nu Shi's face... I'd better forget it. She seems to have no face."

He immediately changed his words and said in a serious tone:

"Then next time Rong Nu Shi can say more. What this colleague did is incompetent, but I'm afraid he doesn't understand. He doesn't know how to pretend to understand, so he misunderstood something."

"Oh." Her hair on her temples was blown by the wind, and she seemed to be nodding, her voice carried by the wind: "No."

"no?"

"There are a lot of things that I shouldn't say to you, a local official. This is the rule. Saying so much is already an exception. When I was in the palace before, except for answering the saint, I didn't have a few words with others for a month. Deeply In the forbidden area of ​​the palace, be careful in your words and deeds, as the nuns taught you..."

She looked back with her sleeves, her beautiful dotted eyes fixed on Ouyang Rongwen.

"So Ouyang Lianghan, what else do you want from me?"

Ouyang Rong was speechless.

After staring for a while, Rong Zhen turned away and said:

"Thank you for your comfort today. However, very few people know about the Big Buddha, so I really can't say much. Just like when you were at Xunyang Grottoes before, you only need to be responsible for the sculpture work. It's not good to know too much."

"What's so bad..."

Rong Zhen suddenly spoke with a somewhat melodious voice:

"It's just that I don't want you to know...is that okay?"

Ouyang Rong was stunned.

"Row."

He shrugged: "You can hide it."

"Are you still angry?"

Rong Zhen turned his head and glanced at him.

Ouyang Rong shook his head and followed Rong Zhen into the Overwatch Council.

He changed the topic and asked:
"I heard that on the front line, thieves recently attacked the Chinese army camp at night... and the military Qigong practitioners on the front line also suffered a lot of losses."

"It's true, it's been half a month... Miaozhen is over there, so it's okay for now."

Rong Zhen replied sternly;
"This kind of petty quarrel will not affect the overall situation."

"That's fine. You, Si Tianjian, must protect General Qin."

"This is natural, and Marshal Qin is a veteran with rich experience, so there is no need to worry... Ouyang Lianghan, you are starting to worry."

Rong Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth.

Ouyang Rong saw her taking something in the office, then turned and walked outside the Overwatch Council. He asked curiously:
"Ms. Shi, what are you doing here?"

She said with a sullen face: "Go back and rest, I'm in a bad mood today... Why, you want to go too?"

"Then I'll go back too..."

Rong Zhen suddenly called him:
"Wait a minute, there happens to be a high-level poetry gathering outside the city in the afternoon, but the requirements are quite strange. Only men and women are allowed to participate in pairs. I suspect that the owner of Dielianhua may be there, so I have to go there in the afternoon. How about you? Do you have time in the afternoon?"

"Aren't you in a bad mood?"

"It's better now."

He asked cautiously: "But will the owner of Dielianhua attend this strange poetry gathering?"

She nodded: "Such lechers and perverts are more likely to go there. Maybe there are many mistresses who like to go to such places."

"Yes, it makes sense..."

Ouyang Rong nodded.

Rong Zhen's expression remained unchanged: "Then get ready..."

"Oh..." Ouyang Rong suddenly reacted:

"Wait a minute, men and women are participating in pairs, doesn't that mean they are going in that capacity..."

"That's why I called you. It's inconvenient for me to go alone. I can't investigate incognito as usual. I'm too lazy to find anyone else."

There is no one else in Xunyang City who can complain about your temper... Ouyang Rong complained in his heart.

She made the decision directly: "It's up to you. Stop being ink and go with me."

"But..." Ouyang Rong looked embarrassed.

She stopped and said without looking back:
"But what? Aren't we colleagues who trust each other? We have known each other for so long, and our friendship is not enough?"

Ouyang Rongfu muttered: "If you have enough friendship, you can't be the Riddler."

"Huh?" Rong Zhen snorted and asked, "What did you say?"

"No, no, okay, go, go."

Ouyang Rong reluctantly waved his hand and muttered: "Then I have to dress low-key. I also learned that I will meet my junior sister. After all, I am going to do something..."

"what ever."

Ouyang Rong had no choice but to watch a certain female historian walk away in a hurry...
