No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 154 Dismembering the Liu family, punishing Liu Ziwen
Liu Ziwen didn't know when he woke up.

I don't know how long he passed out.

What happened to the public trial, did Wang Lengran save Liu's family, and did Ouyang Lianghan still pursue justice?

Liu Ziwen is like an old sick tiger that has fallen into a swamp, his consciousness is drowsy.

Only the piercing wounds wrapped in bandages on his chest and stomach, and the piercing pain that made him gnash his teeth could keep his brain awake intermittently.

I may have had some dreams during the period, but every time I struggle to open my eyes, I forget them for a long time.

And it was this intermittent waking up that made Liu Ziwen realize in a daze that he had been in a coma for a long, long time.
Sometimes when I open my eyes, the room is pitch black.

Sometimes when I open my eyes, there seems to be someone lighting a lamp and guarding the round table not far away.

Sometimes when I opened my eyes, the light inside and outside the bed was dim, and I couldn't tell whether it was evening or dawn.

And right now, Liu Ziwen woke up again.

He turned around slowly.

Not far from the bed, there was the sound of splashing water outside the closed window.

It was pouring rain.

During the rainy season in Longcheng County every year, such a heavy rain is rare, because most of it is continuous drizzle.

And such a large amount of rain means that the rainy season is coming to an end.

also means...

The water level of Yunmengze in the upstream is about to rise sharply again, and I don't know if Digong Gate can resist it.

This was the first thought that popped into Liu Ziwen's mind at this moment, and it was also the first reaction of most people in Longcheng who were used to floods.

"Husband, you are awake!"

At the table in the room, Mrs. Xu, who was sitting upright in a daze, rushed to the sick bed upon seeing this.

Liu Ziwen saw his wife in front of him with a dazed expression in surprise, and looked in the direction outside the door.

His face was pale, and with Xu's support, he propped up his upper body, opened his dry lips slightly, and said weakly:
"Where is this?"

"My husband is still wearing a crime... This is the official house of the county government to accommodate sick witnesses, and visits are allowed." Xu said timidly.

I don't know if it's because she has been crying a lot these days, but the eyes of this ordinary-looking woman are very red.

Liu Ziwen didn't pay attention to his wife at all, he leaned his upper body forward, and said anxiously:

"How's the situation outside? How's the public trial going? Cough cough cough..."

The words were too fast, as if he was choking, he covered his mouth and coughed twice.

"I will pour water for you!"

Mrs. Xu didn't seem to have heard Liu Ziwen's previous question, looked around, stood up suddenly, and hurried out to pour tea.

It seemed that the movement inside the house spread outside, Liu Ziwen saw Liu Fu limping in and looking around.

"Old...Master, you are awake." The lame old steward said in a daze.

Liu Ziwen stopped coughing, and asked in a serious tone, "Come here, I've been in a coma for the past few days, what happened outside..."

"The master finally woke up, the villain is going to inform the second young master and the others!"

Liu Fu saluted respectfully, turned around and retreated.

Liu Ziwen's words stopped.

He turned his head to look at the empty and simple house, then at the white undershirt with blood on his chest, and at the wobbly bed board under him.

Liu Ziwen realized a good news and a bad news.

The good news is that Lovebird's poison seems to have been undone, and Liu Zian and others should have given him the antidote later.

The life-threatening lovebird poisoning was gone.

And the reason why he was able to survive should also be due to the poison-enhancing dagger that was pierced into Liu Ziwen's body. The poison had just entered the body and had not yet fully spread.

It's different from the Jade Goddess, whose poison hides and pervades the whole body.

The latter poison is more violent and deadly.

The bad news is that the dead man stabbed his lung with a knife, causing his lung lobes to shrink and shrink.

Although he was rescued and Liu Ziwen survived, the knife was poisoned after all, so it was not clean and easily infected.

Even if he didn't die immediately, he would still be riddled with tuberculosis, and he would die of pain.

Liu Ziwen put down his hand covering his mouth, staring blankly at the coughed up blood in his hand.

The poison of lovebirds was originally obtained by the second brother Liuzi Antuowei's diner Boss Li, so he naturally has a matching antidote in his hand, just in case.

And this antidote, in addition to being used on Liu Ziwen now, was actually used once not long ago.

It was at the open-air luncheon at the ribbon-cutting ceremony that she mistakenly gave it to Ouyang Lianghan, who was pretending to be a jade goddess.

Before leaving, Liu Ziwen quietly offered the wine mixed with the antidote to Ouyang Lianghan.

The latter also cheated the insidious blue bottle of Lovebird in his hand by the way.

Because according to the plan at the time, Liu Ziwen and Liu Zi'an wanted the fairy Yucheng to put the poison on Xie Lingjiang, and when they did it at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, they would use the red bottle of poison to trigger it according to the situation.

Therefore, it is natural not to allow the female fairy Yucheng, who has already been poisoned without anyone knowing, to also be poisoned, affecting her to kill Shen Xisheng.

However, looking at it now, these calculations are all in vain, even Liu Ziwen himself was accidentally tricked, and was calculated...

On the bed, Liu Ziwen was in a daze for a while.

There was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and it seemed that there were quite a few people coming.

Liu Ziwen put the blood on the inner quilt with his palm, and moved his body to cover it.

Liu Zian and Liu Zilin led a group of men in brocade clothes and luxurious clothes and walked quickly through the door.

"Big brother!"

"Master."

Seeing the visitors that almost filled the room, even Liu Ziwen, who was prepared, couldn't help but froze, and said:

"Why are you here too?"

"Brother, the Ghost Festival is coming soon. The clan brothers who came back to worship the ancestors are also worried about the injury of the elder brother. I heard that you woke up, so let's come and visit together."

Liu Zian stepped forward, grabbed Liu Ziwen's hand, and explained seriously.

Liu Ziwen didn't look at Liu Zian, but silently withdrew his wrist from his hand, and the latter looked helpless.

Liu Ziwen's gray lips were pursed, and his eyes swept over the faces of Liu Zilin and the brothers of the Liu clan surrounded by the bed one by one.

Liu Zilin looked at the eldest brother and second brother in front of the bed, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, he lowered his head and looked down.

The other brothers of the Liu clan who seemed to be returning to worship their ancestors stepped forward one after another, greeting Liu Ziwen, looking very enthusiastic.

Liu Ziwen seemed a little unaccustomed, took a deep breath, waved them away, "You..."

At this moment, Liu Ziwen's words were interrupted by a laugh outside the door:
"Master Liu, I heard that you woke up. I brought you some fruit. I wish you a speedy recovery. Let's continue to be promoted."

Ouyang Rong laughed and led Yan Liulang and other arresters into the door.

Yan Liulang and the others stared at the three brothers Liu Ziwen and the members of the Liu clan in a room with stern eyes.

Liu Ziwen's face was ashen and flushed as if congested, just about to speak, but suddenly found that everyone except him saluted Ouyang Rong respectfully.

Liu Zian, Liu Zilin, and the brothers of the Liu clan bowed their heads together and said, "Master County Magistrate."

Ouyang Rong raised his palm falsely, and pressed down from the air to signal:
"Hey, don't be too polite. It's been a pleasure dealing with you these two days. We've gotten along quite well, and everyone is very cooperative. Why are you being so polite?"

The young county magistrate turned his head with a smile, and greeted the Young Patriarch of the Liu family with a liver-colored face on the sickbed:
"This time around, I mainly want to take a look at Mr. Liu. I used to hear people say that good people don't live long, and evils last for thousands of years. Now it's not always true.

"Look, Mr. Liu has a ruddy complexion, isn't he living a good life?"

Ouyang Rong pointed at Liu Ziwen's face and motioned to everyone.

Liu Zian and a group of brothers from the Liu clan quickly smiled.

The atmosphere in the ward was joyous.

If you don't say it, how can outsiders know that the two parties are still hostile to life and death before the public trial a few days ago?

Liu Ziwen suddenly turned around and asked:

"What is familiar? What cooperation?"

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Ziwen's suspicious expression. Behind him, Yan Liulang crossed his chest and glanced coldly at everyone in the room, and sneered.

Liu Zian hurried forward and said:

"It's nothing, brother, the matter of the public trial has come to an end for the time being, the county magistrate has a lot of people, and decided to wait for the brother's injury to recover before trying the case of the demon fried gate and the assassination of the inspector.

"Brother, this case was originally committed by that unconscious sorcerer who used the elder brother and the Liu family. We are innocent. The county magistrate will definitely be able to see clearly. Brother, you should take good care of your wounds first..."

Liu Ziwen didn't look at the second brother, and pushed Liu Zian away with his trembling raised arm. He turned his head silently, staring at Liu Zilin and the others, like an old lion trapped in a trap and dying:
"What's wrong with the public trial? You talk... talk!" He suddenly shouted, and then coughed again, "cough, cough, cough!"

Except for Ouyang Rong and others, everyone in the Liu family was silent and avoided Liu Ziwen's eyes.

"Cough, cough, cough—!" For a while, there was only the sound of Liu Ziwen's violent coughing in the room, as if he wanted to cough up his lungs.

"Big brother."

Liu Zi'an lay down in front of the bed, grabbed Liu Ziwen's hand, with a worried expression on his face.

Ouyang Rong turned his head and looked at Yan Liulang.

Ouyang Rong smiled, picked up a pear in the fruit basket, wiped it with his cuff, took a bite, and said vaguely:
"Second Young Master Liu, I will leave first, so I won't disturb your brothers chatting."

"Where is there, the county magistrate wants to sit down for a while?"

"Okay, sit down for a while, it's just raining outside."

Ouyang Rong nodded, Yan Liulang moved a stool, and he sat on the side of the bed with a normal face, continuing to eat the pears he brought himself.

Liu Zian: "..."

Brothers of the Liu Clan: "..."

Ouyang Rong looked at the people who were hesitant to speak with a bit of embarrassment, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:

"Since I'm sitting down for a while, the official will chatter a few words by the way.

"Although it can be seen that Second Young Master Liu is worried about his elder brother, but there are many things going on outside right now, so we can't delay.

"Hey, the complaints submitted to the county government by the people who have occupied the fertile land and annexed the land are piled up as high as a mountain, so hurry up and deal with them.

"During the public trial a few days ago, Er Shao Liu, you made the promise in front of the people of the county, don't forget, otherwise the county government will take action again to help you remember.

"So, you should hurry up and cooperate with Diao Xiancheng to hand over the land deeds of good land outside the city, and the double compensation that should be given to the bullied people should be implemented as soon as possible. All of these will be resolved within three days.

"If you don't have enough money and food for the time being, you can also take the deed of the treasure house to the county government as a mortgage to sell it. Well, I will give you a preferential price as appropriate...

"Hey, to be honest, if Mr. Wang didn't give your Liu family full rights to guarantee, just the crime of annexing good land and destroying the court's land equalization law is enough for your Liu family to copy the house twice. You have to seize the most regretful opportunity. ah."

Ouyang Rong smiled and said words, which seemed to be earnest, but the words he said were every word of his heart.

These words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into the chest of someone on the field, although there were already two knife marks on this person's chest.

The back of Liu Zian, who was comforting his elder brother in front of the bed, froze.

His right hand that was originally grabbing his brother's wrist suddenly caught nothing, and immediately Liu Zian was grabbed tightly by a big blood-stained hand on his wrist.

In the room, Liu Zilin and other members of the Liu family turned their eyes away one after another, or bowed their heads or looked sideways, but they didn't dare to look directly at the man on the sickbed who was shaking like a broken house in the wind.

Ouyang Rong didn't seem to see this.

Being asked to sit down for a while, he continued to gnaw on the delicious and juicy pears, and said:
"There are also shops and stores in the East City and West City in the city, warehouse ships at Penglangdu Wharf, and water transportation business. Many merchants and gentry have accused you of illegal competition and forced buying and selling.

"Hey, no wonder I heard that half of the county belongs to your family, so that's how it came here. This is not okay, our Longcheng County is definitely not a place outside the law...

"Don't procrastinate any longer. According to the judgment of the public trial, the deadline for the three-day period is coming. Remember to go to the county government on time tomorrow morning and hand over all the deeds of these shops. The official and the county government will properly distribute them. Save yourself a lawsuit.

"Liu Ershao, you don't have to thank me. These are what the officials and the county government should do. Everyone is a citizen of Longcheng, and it is an obligation to serve you. However, if your Liu family insists on sending silk banners or something, it's not impossible, but Don't set off firecrackers in a big way, just disturb the people, let the whole Luming Street know that I have received another silk banner, how embarrassing it is..."

The young county magistrate is like a very kind parent official, exhorting them carefully, and sighing with emotion from time to time.

It seemed that they were afraid that the law-abiding members of the Liu family would forget these things.

In the room, on one side was Ouyang Rong who was talking eloquently, and on the other side were the members of the Liu family who were taciturn and getting quieter.

The atmosphere is silent but not silent, and lively but not lively.

This scene seemed a little weird for a while.

Ouyang Rong suddenly raised his voice: "Did you hear that, Second Young Master Liu?"

Liu Zian shook his shoulders and turned around.

Facing the eyes on the bed behind him as if they were going to eat him, the second young master of the Liu family, the temporary head of the house, forced a smile on the stern-faced young county magistrate:

"Okay, I know... I know, my lord, the grass people must abide by it."

Ouyang Rong, who was sullen a second ago, suddenly smiled, stood up and patted Liu Zian's shoulder with a stiff smile:

"That's fine. Hey, what's wrong with Master Liu's face? Why does it turn red and then white, and now it's purple again? Is he practicing face-changing acrobatics in the Jianghu Circus recently? Master Liu has a lot of hobbies."

Liu Zi'an was like a man on his back, not daring to turn his head. He felt that the bed board under him, which was already not firm, had begun to creak and shake.

Ouyang Rong looked at the man behind Liu Zi'an, laughed and shook his head, he didn't leave immediately, turned his head and said to Liu Ziwen's brothers from the Liu clan:

"By the way, when you come back to worship your ancestors, didn't you come to the county government yesterday to say that someone in the Liu family obstructed the division of the family and took over the ancestral property?

"I told you to communicate with Liu Ershao. What does Liu Ershao say? If there is any injustice, you can ask me, and I will make the decision for you."

The brothers of the Liu clan showed obsequious smiles, shook their heads, and chattered: "No, brother Zi'an is very talkative, and he has agreed to split the family, agreed to split the family."

Ouyang Rong nodded with a smile, looked around the room and said: "It's the best, everyone is happy, brothers are in harmony, family harmony and everything is going well."

Liu Zian took a deep breath, and immediately said: "Master County Magistrate, the rain outside has stopped."

"Oh, is it? It seems to be a little too small. The rain really comes and goes as soon as it is said, and it can't be figured out. Well, I will leave first. Liu Ershao will accompany Mr. Liu well. I feel that there is something wrong with his face, could it be... that this officer shouldn't eat his pears?"

Ouyang Rong nodded with a smile on his face, Liu Zi'an hurriedly got up to see him off, but unexpectedly, Ouyang Rong took Yan Liulang and others just a few steps forward, and suddenly turned around and said:

"Master Liu, you have been assassinated in the street, the murderer has some clues, do you need me to make a decision for you? You can report the case now, and I and the county government will definitely track down the real culprit and bring him to justice."

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly silent.

The eyes of everyone looked at him vaguely. On the bed, a certain person trembled all over...
