Notes on Evil Fox

Chapter 27 The Tao is Ruthless

The sky was overwhelmed with dark clouds, as if they were about to sink, and the pouring rain poured down, almost gluing the sky and the earth together.There is a misty scene in front of my eyes, and every scene and every thing can't be seen clearly.

Zhang Zhizhi and Rong Shiyin stood in the pavilion on the top of the attic on the mountainside, looking at Xu Nan down the mountain.

It is said that they climb high and look far away, but now, Xu Nan in their eyes is very blurry.It's like Xu Nan's life and death, and also like Rong Shi's uncertain future.

"Qin Tianjian clearly said at the time that there would be no heavy rain after Xu Nan, but this?" Zhang Zhizhi fidgeted impatiently.

"What's the current situation of the Li River Dam?" Rong Shiyin also had a gloomy face.

"The dam of the Li River is full of water now. Before that, because I wanted to keep Liquan Town, I had been storing the floodwater. I wanted to wait until the embankment of Liquan Town was repaired before considering flood discharge. But now..." Zhang Zhizhi Pacing back and forth anxiously.

"If I knew it, I wouldn't believe the nonsense of the Qin Tianjian. The water is so fast now, and the danger of opening the gate to release the flood is too great. And if the flood is really released, it will also be a problem for the people of Liquan Town to move out."

Seeing that Rong Shiyin didn't answer, Zhang Zhizhi said again: "If you move out now, you can only evacuate the people. No matter whether it's property or livestock, there's no way to take it away. How could they want to?"

Rong Shiyin didn't speak, as if he was weighing something, after a long time, just when Zhang Zhizhi couldn't help but want to speak again, Rong Shiyin said slowly: "Liquan Town is rich in rice, and almost every household can plant it. Most people's property is nothing more than a few bags of millet at home. Now that the rice fields have been destroyed by the flood, the people in Liquan Town should not have much property worth moving. Now you take people to Liquan to mobilize the people Move out."

"But..." Zhang Zhizhi hesitated, "Master Rong, you are from Liquan Town, you should know that Liquan people have always been conservative and stubborn, and they have always claimed that they are the end of the river and a land of blessings. Now , I'm afraid they won't move away easily."

"Bring this." Rong Shiyin took out a pure gold token from his bosom, engraved with dragon patterns representing supreme majesty, and said, "If you see His Majesty coming in person."

Zhang Zhizhi was also an official in the court, so he naturally knew that it was a gold medal with dragon pattern, the holder of the gold medal does not have to pay homage to the royal family when he is in court, but he can beheaded before playing outside, enjoying supreme honor.

Busily knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor."

But he was very surprised in his heart, the emperor actually gave Rong Shiyin all the gold medals with dragon patterns, what a great grace this must be.

Zhang Zhizhi doesn't admire power, but he loves the current emperor very much, now that Rong Shiyin is so favored by the emperor, he can't help but look at Rong Shiyin with admiration in his heart.

"Yes, I'll do it right now." Zhang Zhizhi stood up and said to Rong Shiyin after saluting.

When he turned to leave, he turned back and said to Rong Shiyin with some hesitation, "Your official has something to say, don't know if you should say it or not?"

"Master Zhang, but it's okay to say?" Rong Shiyin looked at Zhang Zhizhi's hesitation, and asked in puzzlement.

"The lower official sees that Mr. Rong treats Mr. Lu unusually, but the two of them don't seem to be close friends. There are thousands of friendships in the world, but there is always a right or wrong. My lord, which one should I keep? Should it or shouldn't it?"

Rong Shiyin's heart was touched by someone, and a trace of inhumane emotion flashed across his brows and eyes, but after only a moment, he returned to normal, and said: "I don't understand what your lord means, Mr. Lu and I are just gentlemen." It’s just an acquaintance, it shouldn’t matter whether you should or not.”

"Wishing to go to a dangerous situation for Mr. Lu is nothing more than to repay Mr. Lu's life-saving grace at the beginning." As if convincing himself, "Besides, I have been appreciated by Mr. Lu in the court. On the day of leaving Beijing, Mr. Lu Tell me to take care of Mr. Lu more. Naturally, it is a matter of being entrusted and loyal."

"So that's the case, that's why the lower officials are worrying too much." Zhang Zhizhi smiled, and then turned to Rongshi and said, "Mr. Lu is awake, are you still in good health?"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your concern. It's all right now." Lu Fanan forced a weak smile.

"That's good, the next official will leave first."

The moment Rong Shiyin saw Lu Fanan, he felt a little flustered. He didn't know how much Lu Fanan had heard, and whether he would feel that he saved him because of his fame, profit, and Lu Kun.

Rong Shiyin didn't know how to speak, and secretly scolded Zhang Zhizhi for being troublesome.

Talking back to Lu Fan'an, let's say that Lu Fan'an thought he was going to die that day, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar room.

I thought: Could it be that this underworld is also afraid of ghosts being homesick, so they deliberately imitated their houses in the world when they were alive.It's just that these ghosts may have made a mistake. This is not his own house, but his temporary residence in Xunan.

"Master Lu, are you awake?" A soft female voice came, and Lu Fanan turned his head and saw Chen Jiaoyu's pear-blossoming rainy face, feeling a little satisfied, the ghost in this underworld still looks quite beautiful.

He wanted to speak out, but he felt a tearing pain in his throat and chest, and his consciousness became clearer because of the pain. It turned out that he was not dead.Rong Feng at the side hurriedly brought a glass of water, and slowly fed him to drink.

After Lu Fanan drank the water, he felt better, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't expect that I could escape death."

Hearing this, Chen Jiaoyu seemed to suddenly think of something, and wanted to cry: "Young Master Lu, don't say such depressing words again. If Mr. Rong hadn't jumped into the water to save you that day, I wouldn't have known..."

Chen Jiaoyu, with red eyes, lowered her head and couldn't continue, sobbing for a long time before she said: "Later, I heard that Mr. Zhang led people to search for you for a long time, and almost gave up, so I found it on the bank near the city. The two of you who have already passed out. Fortunately, if something happens to the young master, I will never feel at ease in this life."

Lu Fanan seemed to have a vague impression that someone was indeed holding him tightly in his arms at the cold bottom of the river, as if he was the most indelible treasure.

Thinking of this, some unnatural heat quietly rose on his face.Even the heartbeat seems to be inexplicably faster.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Lu Fanan came to look for Rong Shiyin despite Chen Jiaoyu and Rong Feng's dissuasion.

But when he was climbing up the pavilion, he heard Rong Shiyin say: "Wishing to go to a dangerous situation for Mr. Lu is nothing more than repaying Mr. Lu for saving his life. Besides, I have been appreciated by Mr. Lu in the court. , Mr. Lu asked me to take care of Mr. Lu more. Naturally, it is a matter of being entrusted and loyal."

It turned out that I was just something he was entrusted by others.That's right, if he died, how could his father let Rong Shiyin go.

It wasn't from the very beginning that he knew what Rong Shiyin was happy about, what he valued, how to get along with him for a few more days, and get a few more good looks, so that he really thought that he could be a special existence to him.

The joy in his heart gradually faded, and Lu Fanan smiled self-deprecatingly.Although he didn't understand why he was lost, but now was not the time for him to play a big prince's temper, and he had to tell Rong Shiyin about some things.

"Master Rong, when Miss Chen was talking to me on the bank that day, she was standing well, but suddenly fell into the river. I was in a hurry to save people, and I didn't think about it, but when I told Miss Chen When I was sent to the shore, I accidentally caught a glimpse of Deng Mengzi standing in the dark corner of the street." Lu Fanan was a little weak, but tried to make himself clear, "I was a little out of strength at the time, and I was thrown into the river by the spray before I could go ashore in the future. After waking up just now, I think it is necessary to tell you that since they dare to be so blatant, they will definitely make another move."

Rong Shiyin helped him to sit down, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, Deng Mengzi and Yan Xun, don't blame him for being rude this time.

But looking at Lu Fanan's weak appearance, he felt a little annoyed, annoyed that he didn't care about his body, and also annoyed that he almost died for someone who had nothing to do with him.But the words that came out changed: "You didn't take good care of him, and you came here just for this? If I get sick again, how can I explain to Mr. Lu?"

Lu Fanan was already concerned about this matter, but after hearing his words, the disappointment accumulated in his heart also turned into resentment, it turned out that he was meddling in his own business again.Before he had time to think about it, he said bluntly: "Master Rong, don't worry, I have my own measure of my body, and I will never stand in the way of Lord Rong's promotion and fortune."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Rong Shiyin to answer, he left the attic.

Rong Shiyin frowned regretfully, then thought that he hadn't seen Deng Mengzi today, so he called Hu Zhong for questioning, but it turned out that Deng Mengzi had gone to inspect the dam.Rong Shiyin secretly thought that it was not good, and hurriedly called someone to follow him to the dam.

Hu Zhong originally wanted to report to Rong Shiyin that he and Rong Feng had found out in the past few days that the old beggar who raised Rong Feng had also wandered to Liquan, but the old beggar had some mental problems. Today Rongfeng heard that Zhang Zhizhi was going to Liquan , so he followed behind the big team, trying to persuade him to come back together.

But seeing that Rong Shiyin was so pressed for time, he presumably had something urgent to do.Rong Feng was just looking for someone, and nothing major would happen, so he put the matter on hold for now.

……

Rong Shiyin came to the dam in the heavy rain, just in time to meet Deng Mengzi who was about to leave.

Seeing Rong Shiyin, the other party's usually simple and honest face was tainted with some panic, and amidst the sound of heavy rain that seemed to destroy the world, he shouted: "My lord, I have checked that there is nothing wrong with the dam, let's go back. "

Rong Shiyin also raised his voice, and said, "I want to check again, Mr. Deng, come with me." He made a gesture of invitation.

Deng Mengzi walked ahead nervously, wiping his forehead with his hands from time to time, not knowing whether he was wiping the water leaking from the bamboo hat or the sweat coming from inside.

Rong Shiyin watched his movements, curled his lips into a sneer, and said to the attendants behind him: "Go around and have a look around, Master Deng and I can just go up there."

After the guards left, Deng Mengzi hesitated to lead Rong Shiyin up for a while.Suddenly, the neck was tightly strangled by someone from behind. The hand was so strong that no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't shake him even a bit, and could only make some humming sounds from his mouth.

Rong Shiyin dragged the man halfway for a while, bent his long legs, and squatted on the bank of the river. While letting go of his hand covering his mouth, he pulled his hair and pressed him into the water: "I I intend to save your life, but who told you to touch someone you shouldn't?"

Deng Mengzi waved his hands wildly in the air, but he couldn't catch anything.After a while, the range of movements gradually became smaller, and Rong Shiyin fished him up.Seeing that although he was dying, he was still gasping for breath, he grabbed his hair and slammed it hard on a rock on the shore.

Picking it up again, after confirming that Deng Mengzi had completely passed out, he slowly looked away, like throwing garbage, and threw the person in his hand into the river lightly.

The traces of dragging on the ground behind him have been washed away by the rain, Rong Shiyin nodded in satisfaction, and then deliberately drew a deep trace of slipping and falling on the river bank with his feet.

After finishing everything, he adjusted his coir raincoat in the rain, straightened his bamboo hat, and then hurriedly shouted: "Come on, come on, Mr. Deng slipped and fell into the water. "

The guards rushed over upon hearing the sound, but apart from the traces on the river bank, Deng Mengzi could not be seen anywhere on the water.

……

Rong Shiyin sat in the living room and rubbed his brows, and said in a low voice: "How can a person as good as Mr. Deng... oh, what a pity."

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat solemn, only someone said: "My lord's condolences."

"My lord," an attendant stumbled in and said, "There is a crack in the dam. After investigating the situation at the scene, it seems that someone did it on purpose."

"What?" Rong Shiyin suddenly stood up from his chair.
