Chapter 506: Those who eat meat are despicable, and those who eat grains are foolish
"Who said I would like to see this happen?"

In the meeting hall, Lin Cheng, who looked sincere, was waiting for Ouyang Rong, who looked calm, to reply.

A female voice, as cold as a thousand years of frost and snow, came from the door.

Rong Zhen was dressed in a long white dress, walked into the meeting hall, stood in front of Lin Cheng, and spoke condescendingly.

Lin Cheng shrugged helplessly:

"Why are Rong Zhennv Shi here? Aren't she investigating a case?"

"If I don't come, you'll have to say all kinds of nonsense under my banner."

Lin Cheng shook his head: "What are you talking about?"

While speaking in a broad voice, he looked slightly sideways at Ouyang Lianghan's increasingly calm expression.

"I just thought about it from the perspective of Rong Zhennvshi. How can I go beyond that? Just tell the truth. Doesn't Rongzhennvshi want the Donglin Buddha to be built as soon as possible? Don't you want His Majesty to be happy?"

He immediately turned back, narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

However, his attitude was still very sincere and he said seriously:
"So I came here today to propose this plan because I want to discuss it with Ouyang Changshi. If Ouyang Changshi joins, he knows the people best and can help prevent these things. Ouyang Changshi, what do you think? "

Rong Zhen always felt that something was wrong. She just felt that things were not as easy and simple as this person said. However, she was not good at this and could not grasp certain key points that could not be discussed.

Lin Cheng clasped his fists toward the north: "I am humbled and dare not forget the country's worries. I am sharing the worries for Your Majesty."

Lin Cheng's expression remained unchanged and he said slowly:

Her cold voice said:
"Lin Cheng, don't talk nonsense. Since ancient times, demolishing people's houses and building temples and statues has been the practice of a single man. I have never seen this without causing resentment among the people. Most of them have been criticized in large numbers in history. What are you doing? It’s not His Majesty who’s responsible for bringing evil upon His Majesty, but who is?”

"Near Chengtian Temple? Isn't that the area in Huang Xuan's old yard? Lin Cheng, when you were investigating the case before, it seemed that you were not entirely focused on the case..."

Lin Cheng sighed, seemingly helpless towards the unreasonable, cold-hearted girl in palace clothes.

Rong Zhen frowned and said:
"Xingzifang is an old city, full of old and crowded buildings. Where do you want to build the statue? Where should the Donglin Buddha be placed so that it does not affect the people of Xingzifang?"

Rong Zhen said coldly;
"Of course I hope that His Majesty will be happy, but the cost of completing the Donglin Giant Buddha as soon as possible cannot be a loss of life and money, or affect the livelihood of the people of Xunyang."

"Well, it may take up a little space, but it doesn't matter, it's all within the budget. Anyway, there are some old houses there, and the housing prices are low now. We will fully compensate you. After all, we can't let His Majesty's holy name be damaged, right? ? Eunuch Hu, Rong Zhennvshi, the matter of your Majesty’s holy name has always been something that we below need to pay attention to, and I will never forget it.”

"But that area is one of the most densely populated areas in Xingzifang, where poor people are begging for work. If you build a statue there, Chengtian Temple alone must not be enough to demolish it, right?"

"Hey, actually these are all small things. We can always find a solution through discussion."

Lin Cheng smiled and said: "I have found a good place. It is located at Chengtian Temple in the center of Xingzifang, adjacent to Xingzi Lake. The feng shui here is excellent, and it is in line with my golden virtues in Dazhou. It is a good place for golden water. Feng shui is no worse than Shuangfengjian, or even better."

Rong Zhen first turned his head and glanced at Ouyang Rong, who was so strange that he didn't say a word today.

Rong Zhen did not accept this trick and asked seriously:

Lin Cheng said calmly:
"Jiangzhou Hall pays wages, and the migrant workers still follow Ouyang Changshi's method and do not force them to work. Well, there are so many workers at Xunyang Ferry, and the days are idle in winter. Instead of being idle and making no money, it is better to let them They come to make statues. Working overtime in Xingzifang in winter to make Buddha statues is better than going all the way to the wilderness, ice and snow to make double-pointed statues. Isn't this also the disadvantage of Ouyang Changshi's current construction of Xunyang Grottoes?
"Look, doesn't this solve it?"

"Rong Zhennv Shi, this time is different. We can find another way to take care of them gently."

"How can there be any influence? It's just that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."

"Oh, I understand, let Ouyang Lianghan bear the blame, right?"

"What's the difference? What's the difference between what you're doing and what those Yangzhou business gangs did before? They are businessmen, chasing profits, and you are an official, chasing dragon kindness... Don't beat around the bush and say nice things, just go straight Tell me, if the houses of the poor people are demolished, where will they live? Even if it is a slum, there are cheaper rental houses in Xunyang City?"

Rong Zhen turned his head with a straight face and looked at Ouyang Rong, who was sitting quietly in his sleeves.

She sounded puzzled and urged:
"Ouyang Lianghan, why don't you say anything? Do you agree? This relocation plan is in line with your wishes. Are you convinced? What about the Xunyang Grottoes?"

Seeing Ouyang Rong lowering his eyes and saying nothing, Rong Zhen's pretty face was very dissatisfied:
"Didn't you discuss with me carefully before that the Xunyang Grottoes are the best solution? It will benefit the country and the people, and will not affect the people's livelihood in Xunyang at all. You can achieve multiple goals with one stone. Where is your energy now?"

Taking a deep breath, she calmed down slightly and said word by word:

"Ouyang Lianghan, don't forget how you swore in front of the Holy Master's Temple against the anger of thousands of scholars and promised the folks in Xunyang that building the Buddha would not cost lives or money, nor would it affect Xunyang people’s livelihood!
"I have always respected you as a gentleman who prays for the people."

Ouyang Rong seemed to have come to his senses and glanced sideways at her.

Lin Cheng shook his head and said:

"Rong Zhen Nv Shi really misunderstood me, but it doesn't matter. Ouyang Changshi should understand. I have written down this Xingzifang plan in detail. You can take a look at it. Rong Zhen Nv Shi should also take a look. After reading the detailed plan, I won’t ask these slightly childish questions anymore.”

Without waiting for Rong Zhen and Hu Fu to react, Ouyang Rong suddenly reached out and took the plan document from Lin Cheng.

Opening the folder, he lowered his head and browsed carefully.

When Lin Cheng saw this, he smiled brightly. It was so comfortable to deal with smart people.

There is no shameful scene like ordinary people yelling and being tailed.

Rong Zhen fell silent immediately, turned to Lin Cheng and said coldly:

"Lin Cheng, what kind of medicine did you sell in your gourd?"

Lin Cheng spread his hands:

"I'm not selling any medicine. I just want to share your Majesty's worries and make some suggestions. Isn't this just a suggestion for everyone to brainstorm? Rong Zhennvshi needn't be so excited."

Rong Zhen rolled up his sleeves: "That suggestion is invalid. I don't agree with it."

Lin Cheng sighed and asked for help: "Ouyang Changshi, look at the female historian..."

"The Zhezi is well written, but I have a small problem."

Ouyang Rong suddenly closed the folder and nodded.

"Ouyang Changshi, feel free to ask." Lin Cheng smiled and spread his palms in front of his face.

Ouyang Rong nodded lightly. While everyone was waiting for him to ask about the details of the plan on the folder in his hand, he asked seriously:
"On the day when I and the Crown Prince clashed with Wei Shaoqi at Yunshui Pavilion, the person Princess Anhui was waiting for in the private room was actually you, Brother Lin."

Lin Cheng looked confused:
"What Ouyang Changshi is talking about, what are you waiting for, I don't understand."

Ouyang Rong sighed softly:
"The husband Prince Liang chose for Princess Anhui turned out to be Brother Lin. Wei Shaoqi brought his cousin to Xunyang just to be with you. The Wei family is really willing to spend money to win over Brother Lin. No wonder Wei Shaoqi Brother Lin was so instrumental in Qi Meng's reversal of the verdict... So, when I met you in Yunshui Pavilion that day, you were actually here to keep an appointment, and Wei Shaoqi chose Yunshui Pavilion as the place for the secret meeting, which was also the place you chose. Right or not, Wei Shaoqi's date with Miss Qin in Yunshui Pavilion was only secondary.

"When we first met, I took Brother Lin to Yunshui Pavilion once. Brother Lin said that he liked the environment of this teahouse and would come here often. It was true. Brother Lin was sincere. But Brother Lin probably never expected that he would meet me again. Let’s talk about the prince. So later on, the prince unexpectedly disturbed the princess and made Brother Lin hate the prince and me? "

Lin Cheng frowned, looked around, and said in a puzzled tone:

"What Changshi Ouyang is talking about is all incomprehensible. Stop talking nonsense and talk about business... Changshi Ouyang, this relocation plan is to share your Majesty's worries. I have no intention of denying you and Prince Xunyang's Palace. It’s not to help the Wei family, I won’t choose sides.”

Ouyang Rong shook his head calmly and interrupted:

"To share His Majesty's worries, isn't it just to win the favor of God and climb up the ladder by any means necessary? The so-called not choosing sides means not to break one's face, like today.

"But when necessary, in order to achieve the goal of 'sharing His Majesty's worries', Brother Lin will not be so stupid as not to borrow help. Moreover, the Wei family's daughters are here. This matter will not only help the Wei family get promoted and make a fortune, but also help the Wei family suppress Xunyang." The prince's palace and my subordinates gave me a betrothal gift and gave me soft rice but hard food. It was really a good idea.

"So Brother Lin, it's okay to lie to others. Brother Lin, don't lie to yourself."

"Forget it if Ouyang Changshi doesn't agree. Don't talk nonsense and change the subject."

Lin Cheng immediately put away the papers, shook his head and prepared to leave.

But Ouyang Rong's faint words from behind made him pause slightly:

"Did Brother Lin submit a memorial to the court just before he came here? All the plans that should be laid out should have been laid out. He has been keeping a low profile for so long, hiding the truth, and the relocation plan is so complete, does it still need to be discussed?

"Brother Lin came here today, did you want to win for me? Well, it doesn't matter if you can't win, just kick him out. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not?

"It's a good move to be polite first and then attack. Brother Lin is a fastidious person and I respect you."

Lin Cheng frowned, stared at Ouyang Rong's face for a while, and sounded a little confused:
"What's wrong with Chief Ouyang today? He said a lot of unfounded things. I just made a suggestion. Why is Chief Ouyang so imaginative? If you don't accept this plan, just say so. Just pretend that I said nothing. There's no need to be sarcastic."

Lin Cheng, somewhat disappointed, took out a memorial from his sleeve, signaled it in public, and sighed:

"I wrote this memorial carefully to submit to His Majesty. It is full of good things about Ouyang Changshi. Just like Hu Zhongshi, Ouyang Changshi looked through it if he didn't believe it, but now Ouyang Changshi..." the tone Unspeakable loss.

Ouyang Rong smiled, looked at the memorial, nodded and said:

"Brother Lin really thinks highly of me, and he will keep it secret as long as he can. Are you afraid that I will stir things up in advance? Well, are you afraid that it will be revealed too soon, forcing me to a dead end, or even taking risks to silence you? Is it because you are afraid that you will not be able to get out of Xunyang City? Really? But I think Brother Lin is quite courageous.

"Don't worry, Brother Lin, this game of chess is indeed very powerful. He built a plank road openly and secretly attacked Chen Cang. I just realized it just now, and it's already too late. Well, I still believe in Brother Lin's caution. "

Rong Zhen and Hu Fu had shocked expressions on their faces, and they all turned to look at Lin Cheng, their eyes wary.

Lin Cheng did not look at them, but kept smiling, looking at Ouyang Rong's handsome and calm face, and said in a serious tone:
"If you don't understand what Ouyang Changshi is talking about, don't change the topic. What does Ouyang Changshi mean by this plan? Please tell me clearly. If you don't agree with it, I'll treat it as if I didn't mention it. It's just a small suggestion. The initiative has always been It’s all in the hands of Ouyang Changshi.”

He pointed at Khufu again and said seriously:
"And regardless of whether it works or not, I am planning to return to Beijing soon and present this memorial. When I came here just this morning, I had already made an appointment with Ambassador Hu Zhong, and the ship has been booked. Today, in addition to giving my opinions, I still came to talk to Mr. Ouyang. Shi said goodbye."

Khufu couldn't help but nod, which was regarded as a testimony on this point, but his eyes were also a little suspicious, and he looked at Ouyang Rong, looking for what to do.

Ouyang Rong didn't answer, turned to stare at the sky outside for a while, nodded and said:

"Lin Cheng, you always call yourself me. Now it seems that you are indeed right. Carnivores are despicable."

Lin Cheng suddenly became quiet, staring straight at Ouyang Rong, and his voice echoed through the lobby: "You say I am a carnivore, what about you, Ouyang Lianghan?"

"Fool."

Rong Zhen and Khufu heard Ouyang Rong reply immediately, and saw him speak seriously:
"Those who eat meat are despicable, and those who eat grains are foolish. I eat grains, the grains of the people, so I am a little stupid. What's wrong?"

Lin Cheng pointed his index finger at his own face and then at Ouyang Rong's face:
"Okay, what a fool. I understand. I thought that Ouyang Changshi, like me, is a poor man who lives in poverty, but he is also a smart man."

"No, Brother Lin is too smart, I'm not smart enough."

"No, no, no, we are the same people. We are all poor people. It's just that Ouyang Changshi was too smooth. Along the way, he didn't realize the great malice of this world towards poor people."

"So Brother Lin, who has suffered evil, will also turn around and join this evil?"

"I have never had any ill intentions towards Ouyang Changshi."

Lin Cheng shook his head, waved the memorial full of praise for Xunyang Grottoes and Ouyang Lianghan in the air, and then casually threw it on the table in front of Ouyang Rong.

The Xiaguan Lingtai Lang passed by Ouyang Rong who was sitting upright in his sleeves with his hands behind his back, walked out of the hall, and left Jiangzhou Hall quickly.

Khufu looked at Lin Cheng's back with doubtful eyes.

Rong Zhen first picked up the memorial and glanced at it twice, then frowned and looked at Ouyang Rong:

"Is this fake?"

At this time, Yan Liulang came through the door, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, looking at Ouyang Rong and gesturing to the door, and asked with a serious face:

"Mingfu, do we want to..."

Ouyang Rong shook his head and rubbed his tired face vigorously.

Everyone saw him whispering to himself:
"You're still a little impatient. Are you so afraid of me? You've already made so many moves, and you're still uneasy and come here to test. It's better now. The test has turned into a showdown... So I should be the one who's anxious. What are you afraid of? what?"

I saw that the weak crown Changshi nodded suddenly:

"Oh, do you know that I am extremely stupid and will not live together even if the fish is dead and the net is broken? It seems that the last time I went to Dragon City was not in vain."
