Chapter 678 Ouyang Lianghan, do you know who the young lady is? [The last three days of the month, please give me your monthly votes! ]
Inside the Zen room, Master Yizhi was surrounded by the abbot of Chengtian Temple and Juezhi and was admonishing him.
Ouyang Rong sat alone opposite them with his back to the door.
Yan Liulang, Qin Yi and others stood in the open space at the door of the Zen house with umbrellas in their hands. The black-armored soldiers around them almost filled the entire Zen temple.
It is clearly a place for Buddhists to practice meditation, but now it is filled with murderous and cold weapons.
Fang Yiwu knelt three steps behind Ouyang Rong, with his head down and motionless.
Fang Shengnan and Fang Juxiu, who were brought behind him, had wonderful expressions on their faces when they saw Ouyang Rong, who was attracting everyone's attention.
Pei Shisan Niang walked forward and served tea to Ouyang Rong.
"Are you really Ouyang Lianghan, the scholar of Xiuwen Academy and the governor of Jiangzhou?"
Fang raised his sleeves and asked suddenly.
"Ah."
Ouyang Rong responded without turning his head, ignored her, and turned to Pei Shisan Niang and said:
"Why are you pouring tea for me? Fill up the cups for the master and the other monks. Didn't you see that they are so thirsty that they can't speak? You are really tactless."
Pei Shisan Niang lowered her eyebrows and said: "Okay, sir."
She didn't get angry, but obediently went forward to serve tea to the monks.
After her sister asked, Fang Shengnan couldn't help but ask:
"But you...why are you so handsome?"
Ouyang Rongqi asked:
"Why can't Ouyang Lianghan be so handsome?"
Fang Shengnan didn't hesitate and blurted out: "But...but isn't he a pretty boy if he's so handsome? He doesn't look like that dog official Ouyang Lianghan at all."
Ouyang Rong thought for a moment and asked, "Can't it be a pretty boy official?"
He turned around to look at Fang Juxiu who was lost in thought, nodded and said:
"Thank you for your advice, Madam Fang. It's very pertinent. Although I won't be able to use it, I'd still like to thank you in advance in case it comes in handy in the future."
Ouyang Rong smiled awkwardly and pointed at the Zen Master:
"Madam Fang Da and Madam Fang Er should know this master."
Fang Juxiu turned his eyes away, Fang Shengnan looked embarrassed, and looked at Master Yizhi repeatedly with some worry in his eyes.
Fang Yiwu's face suddenly darkened, and he turned around and shouted:
"My Lord asked you two to talk, didn't you hear me?"
Ouyang Rong smiled slightly:
"Mr. Fang, don't be so loud. It's not good to scare people. After all, she is your own daughter."
Fang Yiwu looked haggard: "It is a sin for a criminal to have such a wicked daughter."
Ouyang Rong pointed at the bronze dagger and the secret letter on the ground, motioned to the Fang sisters, and asked:
"Then you two should be familiar with this little thing, right?"
Fang Shengnan kept silent and lowered her head under Fang Yiwu's frowning gaze.
Fang Juxiu stared at Ouyang Rong's face without blinking and did not say a word.
There were bloodshot in the whites of her eyes, as if she was trying to remember something or see something clearly.
Ouyang Rong stood up, walked to Master Yizhi, took the washed teacup from Pei Shisan Niang, filled it with tea, pushed it forward, and said with a smile:
"If the master doesn't speak again, the tea will get cold. They say people leave when the tea gets cold. Could the master be waiting for us to leave? What a pity. Today we can have a refill of this cup of tea. Even if the master gets cold, it can't get cold either."
As soon as Ouyang Rong finished speaking, Pei Shisanniang picked up the teapot with a sweet smile and refilled the teacup.
Everyone looked at each other.
Ouyang Rong spoke again, his clear words echoing in the ears of everyone inside and outside the Zen room. The thunder and rain outside seemed to be suppressed by this voice:
"Master, I will ask you again, why did you accept this Yunmeng Order, and what is your relationship with Yunmeng Lake? If you were coerced, you can still say that this is a peaceful place for Buddhism, and it is not too late to turn back.
"If you don't say anything, don't blame the law for being ruthless. The ban on Vietnamese women has been issued. The current saint loves Buddha, but you, the monks, even the monks of the Hanging Temple who are favored by the saint, have no right to be exempted if you violate the law. The monks are not above the law."
Yan Liulang glanced sideways and took a look at the indifferent expression on Ming Mansion's face as he handled his business impartially.
The Ming government always left room for maneuver.
Otherwise, why would I bother with these people, and why would I wait patiently for several times, and try to catch them all in one fell swoop like today after finding out all the spies.
Moreover, this time, Ms. Rong and others were not called over, which meant that the Ming government was in charge of the case and kept the people from the Supervisory Council out.
Maybe it’s because of the embroiderer... Yan Liulang sighed softly.
The crowd did not wait for Master Yizhi to speak, but instead waited for Fang Yiwu to kneel down behind Ouyang Rong. The latter kowtowed hard and confessed his guilt:
"The criminal pleads guilty! The criminal's daughter was bewitched by those evil women in Yunmeng Jianze and did the wrong thing. Master Yizhi may be the same. Moreover, Master Yizhi has practiced silent meditation for many years and may not be able to speak. I hope that the governor will be magnanimous..."
Fang Shengnan couldn't help but say: "Daddy, we..."
"you shut up!"
Fang Yiwu glared at her, his eyes full of disappointment, indicating that she should quickly confess her guilt and beg for mercy.
Ouyang Rong nodded gently and looked back at Fang Yiwu:
"Oh, is that so?"
He suddenly asked, "Are there any other Yue women in the city now?"
Fang Yiwu looked at Ouyang Rong's expression and said cautiously:
"No...no more. The spies of the Yunmeng witches in the city were all destroyed by your wise and powerful power."
Ouyang Rong looked at him carefully for a while and nodded gently:
"Okay, you are quite positive in your confession. You will be in charge of your daughter. Take them with you and follow General Qin to confirm whether they have all been caught. If you miss one, I will punish you.
"If you behave well, you may be given a lighter sentence. I will ask the Lady Historian for instructions on this matter."
"Nothing will be missed. Absolutely nothing will be missed. We have already caught them all."
Fang Yiwu nodded in agreement, looked at the calm face of the handsome governor, swallowed his saliva, and added:
"Of course, the criminal will take my daughter to identify her face and confirm it again. No one will be missed."
While speaking, he hid his bloodstained white cloth-wrapped palm behind his back, which was caused by picking up porcelain pieces in a private courtyard. Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan heard this and completely understood what was going on. They took a deep breath and looked at Ouyang Rong and his father with extremely complicated eyes. The doubts they had about something were completely resolved.
Ouyang Rong nodded gently: "Okay, let's do this for now..."
At this moment, Master Yizhi, who had been listening to the two men's witticism with his eyes closed, spoke hoarsely:
"Donor, why bother? The embroiderer has great wisdom and will eventually realize the 'one'."
The voice echoed throughout the venue. Ouyang Rong stopped instantly. Without turning around, he raised his hand as if to listen attentively, and said curiously:
"What did you say? Say it again."
The middle-aged Zen master said nothing, but raised a finger.
Ouyang Rong put down his hand, looked back at Master Yizhi, and looked around the room. He walked back, bent in front of Master Yizhi, and looked at him. He slowly turned his head, squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the finger that the monk was raising.
The whole place fell into dead silence, and no one dared to speak.
Everyone witnessed as the young governor smiled and put the long musical instrument case in his arms on the ground. He gently pushed it forward with one finger and made a horizontal “one” in front of the One Finger Zen Master.
He chuckled and nodded:
"You can keep holding up this boring finger of yours until the end of time, but if I find out that you have had the slightest contact with any other Vietnamese girl...whatever you call her mother...I will let you see my 'one' and my great wisdom. It is guaranteed to bring enlightenment to the master."
Master Yizhi sighed, shook his head and said no more.
Ouyang Rong turned around, patted his sleeves and left.
Soon, Qin Yi led the black-armored soldiers into the courtyard and began to escort the people. Yan Liulang stepped forward and reported everything.
Ouyang Rong made the arrangements in a calm tone, roughly as follows:
The spies caught by Taoshouzhai and Chengtian Temple were temporarily thrown into the vacant Jiuzhou Prison. Master Yizhi's identity was sensitive, and the current atmosphere in Da Zhou was Buddhist. Killing a high monk from the Hanging Temple needed to be reported to the higher authorities and would attract the attention of the Supervisory Council and the Luoyang court. Ouyang Rong was too lazy to make any more trouble, so he didn't kill him for the time being and asked Liu Lang to send people to guard him on the charge of secretly possessing the Yunmeng Order.
As for the father and daughter of the Fang family, Fang Yiwu turned himself in and made meritorious contributions. He also forced his two daughters to help Jiangzhou Hall hunt down other Yunmeng Yue women's spies. Depending on the situation, they may not be held accountable for the time being, but the Fang sisters will definitely be confined to their homes. However, they will be kept nearby so that it will be convenient for the Fang family to visit them...
Everything was arranged properly.
Yan Liulang took out the secret letter that the Fang sisters wanted to send from his arms and whispered:
"Mingfu, they are going to report the news to the outside world and lead the way to the Second Lady. Now we have to arrest everyone except the embroiderer. The Second Lady will not be able to receive the news and will probably soon realize that Xunyang City has been exposed."
"Oh." Ouyang Rong nodded, not surprised at all. Instead, he reminded her: "We can make a bigger noise today. Let's make a public announcement so that the Second Lady can know about it sooner rather than trouble her to guess."
"Yes! By the way, Mr. Ming, there is one more thing."
"explain."
"Today, after Fang Shengnan delivered the letter, she went to look for Li Yu before leaving Chengtian Temple."
"Looking for Li Yu?"
"Well, they should know about Li Yu. He was bailed out by you last time."
"Looking for him to join the gang?"
"Well, it seems to be related to you."
"I?"
"Yes, Yunmeng Jianze seems to want to deal with you and is trying to find out your whereabouts. They probably think that Li Yu knows you and that you have paid a lot of money for him, so they want to persuade Li Yu to repay you with evil and lure you out..."
Ouyang Rong chuckled and asked, "What does Li Yu choose?"
Yan Liulang sighed:
"Li Yu took the initiative to report this matter to our people, but he did not betray Fang Shengnan. He just said that he had heard that someone might be harmful to you, Mr. Ming, and asked you to be careful recently... In addition, although he stayed in Chengtian Temple during this period, he did not come into contact with Master Yizhi and stayed in Yuan Changshi's courtyard."
"It can be seen that compared to fighting, Mr. Li prefers picking up straight branches."
"Pick up straight branches?" Yan Liulang was completely confused.
Ouyang Rong laughed.
Yan Liulang came closer and lowered his voice:
"Ming Fu, although Li Yu did not make any mistakes this time, he may have been influenced by your brilliance, but we should still be careful. Miss Rong Zhen and Old Yang used water torture but failed to get the appearance and whereabouts of 'Yue Chuzi' out of his mouth. This person is still loyal to Yunmeng Yuanjun."
Ouyang Rong was lost in thought and muttered to himself: "Not selling out your old master is loyalty, and not harming me is righteousness. You are quite particular about both loyalty and righteousness."
He waved his hand and asked Yan Liulang to get busy.
When he came to his senses, Ouyang Rong went to the temple gate, wearing a blue Confucian robe, holding an umbrella alone, and passed by one hall after another.
At the gate of Chengtian Temple, the Fang family father and daughter were waiting patiently. When they saw Ouyang Rong, they immediately stepped forward.
Fang Yiwu knelt in the rain, expressing his gratitude.
"Your Excellency is so kind and virtuous..."
Ouyang Rong walked around him without stopping and holding an umbrella.
Similarly, he walked past the distraught Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan without even glancing at them, and walked forward.
Fang Juxiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted to the indifferent figure:
"Ouyang Lianghan, do you know who the young master is!?"
Ouyang Rong did not even turn his head and continued to move forward, his voice calm but firm:
"Then do you know who I am?"
Fang Juxiu looked confused.
"you……"
Fang Shengnan shouted angrily:
"It won't work even if you are Ouyang Lianghan! And... and it won't work even more!"
Fang Yiwu suddenly strode forward and slapped the two women each with two crisp "pa pa" sounds.
"You two evil beasts, go back and face the wall. If you dare to come out again, I will personally eliminate this harm to the people!" His chest heaved with anger.
Fang Shengnan was stunned by the beating. She covered one side of her face with both hands and stared blankly at the square-faced man who had almost never hit her since she was a child.
Fang Juxiu was stunned and speechless, covering his face as he watched Ouyang Rong walk away...
It was already evening when the spring rain stopped and the sky cleared.
The sunset glows like fire, illuminating the ancient temples and courtyards.
Ouyang Rong came to Yuan Huaimin's yard.
He went directly to Yuan Huaimin and Li Yu.
Yuan Huaimin saw him coming and asked curiously:
"Brother Lianghan, what's the matter with the martial law in the temple this afternoon? It seems that they are not from the Supervisory Council, but people transferred from the two Xuanwu Battalions of the Central Army Camp on the front line. They said that they were ordered by the governor to enter the city to search the temple... Was this really an order from you?"
Ouyang Rong sighed: "We have to suppress the rebels."
He turned around and looked at Li Yu who was carefully arranging branches in the house, clapped his hands, and chuckled:
"Brother Huaimin, Mr. Li, are you hungry? Let's go to my house for dinner tonight."
"Hey, Lianghan actually still cares about us." Yuan Huaimin punched his palm: "Okay, okay, I'll go change my coat. The rain just stopped and it's quite cold. It should be even colder in Huaiye Lane, Xunyangfang, by the river..."
Ouyang Rong shook his head: "Not to Xunyangfang Huaiye Lane."
"Where are we going?" Yuan Huaimin responded: "Lianghan, you have two homes?"
"It's next to Xingzi Lake, not far away."
"Strange, Lianghan, when did you have a home nearby?"
Ouyang Rong smiled without saying anything and raised a finger slowly.
Just like Master Yizhi in the afternoon.
Yuan Huaimin stared at his raised index finger and muttered:
"One? What do you mean? You mean, one is not enough? One more?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head: "Soon, it will be a home."
Yuan Huaimin: ...
Li Yu: ...
It sounds...hiss, what a complicated relationship.
