Chapter 1379: The Ouyang Family's Hidden Dangers (Part II)
At the end of the welcome dinner, Ding Kui grabbed Liangchong: "You're not authentic!" "What are you doing?" Liangchong wanted to leave.
"I didn't expose you just now, and now there are no outsiders, so I have to ask you carefully, the locals are interested in your rumors, but the outsiders won't, and we can't spread them with our strength, and in the end, most of the people who suspect that I have a personal relationship with Miss Ouyang still do, what should I do?"
Ding Kui had heard that Liangchong's countermeasures were flawed, and his problem was still not solved, so he did not openly question Liangchong in order to take the overall situation into account.
"You will drill this trap! You are going to Shouyang City, there are endless traps on the road, this time solve one, next time you will face a new one, and I will not give up if I don't put you in.
From the moment you accept the invitation, your enemies begin to plot, knowing that you will not only prepare a trap if you are wise, but at least catch you to the point where others can relax.
So, I advise you to be tricked, it's not a big deal that you have an affair with a noble woman, and the Ouyang family is also familiar now, and someone will help you talk when you go to Shouyang City.
Next, let's be careful, avoid the enemy's traps as much as possible, avoid trouble, and don't create new enemies, so that your situation will not be too bad. Liang Chong advised Ding Kui not to be persistent.
"Hehe, I almost believed you!
is the so-called scaring snake, the Zhao family has already alarmed me, and it is not so easy to plot against me next.
How many marquis families are there in your country like the Ouyang family? How many women are as beautiful as Ouyang Cheng?
I want to ensure that I return to China safely, this scale is not easy to grasp.
I brought you here to be your counselor, and you can't ignore the safety of the general. ”
Ding Kui is a person who can fool in just a few words.
"Okay, well, I'm afraid of you. It's impossible to save your reputation in your own country, but ......," Liang Chong whispered a few words next to Ding Kui's ear.
"Cut! ”
"Then don't listen to me, figure it out yourself. ”
“......”
Someone couldn't sleep tonight, and there was more than one.
Feng Run is one of them, and after the dinner, He Ji chatted with him for a while, mainly to inquire about how many sons he has and whether they are married, and his intention is self-evident.
The Ouyang family wants to find the Feng family to form a family, and it is to recruit a descendant of the Feng family for Ouyang Cheng.
He didn't immediately agree to come down, he needed to think about it. Not counting the fetus still in the womb of the concubine, he has two sons, one is eighteen years old and the other is fifteen years old, both of whom are several years younger than Ouyang Cheng.
Zhulanghou is a thousand-year-old inheritance family, much stronger than an upstart like him, strictly speaking, his son will not suffer a loss when he joins the Ouyang family, and in the future he will be the bloodline inheritance of the Feng family.
The women of this world have the concept of chastity, but not to the point of death, Ouyang Cheng was defiled by Zhao Gang is not a hurdle that cannot be overcome, firstly, Ouyang Auntie is indeed older, and secondly, the Ouyang family may be the prey of the Zhao family, if Feng Run agrees to this family business, it is equivalent to picking peaches for nothing, and most of them will be regarded as enemies by the Zhao family.
The marriage between the two families will definitely enhance the prestige of the Feng family, so that the Feng family can quickly integrate into the circle of high nobles, which can help the Feng family take root in the noble circle and further enrich the foundation of the Feng family, which is not a good thing.
After a night of tossing and turning, Feng Run carefully considered the stakes, and finally made a decision when the morning drum sounded.
On the other hand, Ouyang Bo also didn't sleep well, when he arranged for Zhao Gang to stun Ouyang Cheng, it was equivalent to showing his fangs to the main family, and then he had to press step by step, not allowing He Ji's mother and daughter to have a chance to breathe.
"Where's the eldest young master?" he asked the maidservant who had brought it early.
The eldest young master is Ouyang Xiang, the commander of the city defense army, Ouyang Bo has long been learning the style of the nobility at home, calling himself the master, and the children are called the young master.
"The eldest young master got up early in the morning and went to the barracks. The maid twisted her body, trying to avoid the groping hands under her clothes.
"Hmph!" Ouyang Bo withdrew his hand excitedly, "When is it, still running to that place." ”
"The slave maid will go and inform the eldest young master immediately. ”
"Get out! ”
“......”
After eating breakfast, Ouyang Bo asked someone to prepare a carriage, and when Ouyang Xiang brought someone back, he escorted him out to visit several important people in the county town.
The first stop was the County Knights' Guild, and the person he was looking for was President Ahsan. Yasan is a member of the Zhao family, and Zhao Gang once told him that Yasan would support him to join the Ouyang family.
"Isn't this Master Ouyang Bo, why do you have time to come here to find me?" Ya Sang greeted Ouyang Bo warmly, "Why didn't Commander Ouyang come up?"
He knew that Ouyang Xiang had come with him, but only Ouyang Bo was upstairs.
"Today's main thing is for me to talk to President Ya about something, and it's not convenient for Ah Zhuang to know now. "Ouyang Bo, who is in his seventies, and Yasan in his fifties are commensurate with their peers.
"Oh?" Ahsan raised his eyebrows, "I have something to say, please tell me something, the little grandfather has greeted me, and the Knights' Guild believes what you say." ”
"Hehe, that's ......"
“......”
The two talked secretly for about half an hour, and Ouyang Bo left the Knight Guild with a spring breeze on his face.
"How's it going?" Ouyang Zhuang was very concerned about Yasan's attitude.
He is the person with the highest fighting spirit cultivation in the Ouyang family, and there are only two people in Jiahe County who are similar to him, one is his father, and the other is Yasan. Of course, outsiders are not counted.
Moreover, the Knights' Guild has an armed force that can stand up to the city defenses, and Ahsan is one of the few powerful giants in the city.
"No problem, the Knights' Guild supports us. Zhao Gang is still a little useful in addition to being lustful. Ouyang Bo took a reassuring pill.
The Knights' Guild represents the official and has a high influence and credibility over the common people and the leaders of the Ouyang family.
"Where are you going next?" Ouyang Zhuang shook the hilt of his sword firmly.
"The Tax Department, I will meet Ouyang Shen, that old fox. Ouyang Bo began to close his eyes and recuperate, ready to meet the next challenge.
Tax Commissioner Ouyang Shen is another patriarch of the Ouyang family, and he has the best relationship with Ouyang Bo, but Ouyang Bo is quite jealous of him.
The person in charge of collecting taxes is naturally the confidant of the Marquis of Zhulang, and Ouyang Shen has won the trust of the late Marquis, and is the giant in charge of the commercial lifeline of the county.
It was almost noon before Ouyang Bo came out of the tax department.
Waiting for his father to get into the carriage, Ouyang asked impatiently: "You have been gone for so long, and Uncle Shi refuses to agree?"
"That old fox!" Ouyang Bo showed fatigue on his face, "At first, he refused to let go, forcing me to show some evidence of his greed for ink, so he promised me to think about it and promise not to stand on my side." ”
"Will you still let him be a tax commissioner in the future?"
The evidence of Ouyang Shen's corruption was collected by Ouyang Xiang, and Ouyang Zhuang knew very well how greedy and bold that clan elder was.
"I won't touch him in the short term, as long as the title is changed, then his greed for ink will not be a problem. What we lack is not money, the property of the main family is enough for everyone to share, and if we want to swallow it in one gulp, it will kill us. "Ouyang Bo knows how to make trade-offs and will not be blinded by money.
"Go eat something first, lest you lose your appetite after meeting Ouyang En. "The person Ouyang Bo is going to visit is his opponent, Ouyang En, the director of the county security department.
The Ouyang clan in Jiahe County has three respected clan elders, Ouyang Bo, Ouyang Shen and Ouyang En, of which Ouyang En is the youngest, less than fifty-seven this year, but is praised by the clan as the most fair and honest clan elder.
It can be seen from his single name and the word grace that he is a person who knows how to be grateful, but Ouyang Bo must overcome his difficulty if he wants to enter the Hou Mansion.
There are more than 500 people in the county security office, which is an important armed force of the Ouyang family, and if He Ji wants to turn against Ouyang Bo, it is very likely that he will use this armed force.
Among Ouyang Bo's descendants, only one of his youngest grandsons is the head catcher in the Public Security Bureau, and there are more than a dozen quick arresters under him, and he may not listen to his command at critical times.
"Ouyang En has never given our family a little face, and he will definitely not agree to such a big thing. Ouyang Xiang was not optimistic about his father's trip.
Ouyang Bo was about to answer, when he suddenly fixed his eyes on the car window, "Huh, isn't that Ouyang En?" He made room for his son to come and see.
"That's right, where is he taking so many people?" Ouyang Xiang saw Ouyang En's hurried manner, leading more than a hundred people along the street to the north.
"Why are you stunned? Why don't you go and inquire!" Ouyang Bo felt uneasy in his heart.
Ouyang Xiang hurriedly got out of the car and arranged for his men to inquire about the situation.
Although the city defense army and the security bureau are not the same system, they are all members of the Ouyang family, and there are many people under them.
"I heard that the team of welcoming envoys is about to arrive, Ouyang En led people out of the north gate to greet them. Ouyang Xiang quickly asked about the situation.
"The team of people who greeted the guests?" Ouyang Bo subconsciously stood up, but unexpectedly bumped into the carriage and stopped, "Hmph! How many people are that? Will it affect our plans?"
Zhao Gang never told him that there was a large team of people to welcome guests.
This can't be blamed on Zhao Gang, the senate welcomes guests and sees the official level, and has the right to mobilize local soldiers and horses, and generally does not bring too many people out, and it is only two or three squadrons to die, and even Zhao Gang himself only brought a few hundred people to the big waterfall to make trouble.
Where did they think that Feng Run was afraid that someone at the border would be unfavorable to Ding Kui, so he specially arranged for more than 1,000 people to escort Ding Kui, and only after entering Nanqin Prefecture did he reduce the entourage of travelers, but those people under him were still there.
"Father, you are too cautious!" Ouyang Xiang helped Ouyang Bo to sit firmly, "How many men and horses can you use to welcome guests! Can you compare to the city defense army? We belong to the noble private army, Feng Run has no right to transfer, and another two or three hundred people will not affect our plan." ”
"Two or three hundred more people, does Ouyang En need to bring so many people to greet him?" Ouyang Bo was very familiar with Ouyang En's style, and would never use too many subordinates for the sake of pomp.
A large number of armed forces entered the city, and the Sheriff's Department needed to clear the streets, at least a thousand troops.
"Either the children will go and guard the gates, and if there are too many people, they will not be allowed to enter the city. "Ouyang Xiang has the power to close the city gates.
"It's not appropriate! This will directly offend the welcome mission, and Feng Run will have an excuse to trouble you. Ouyang Bo turned his head to look in the direction of the Hou Mansion, with a look of worry in his eyes.
