Forty-six: Bored, Want to See Blood Flow Like a River

"Young Manager Wang, looking at it, do you know that Magistrate Magistrate Ouyang?"

The old social butterfly Wang Caozhi returned to the viewing platform belonging to the grain merchants, Master Li twisted his mountain-goat beard and asked the question in the hearts of all the grain merchants on the platform.

"Hmm."

Wang Caozhi didn't deny it, just raised his chin slightly and said:

"There is a familiar Sister Chen Jun Xie who happens to be in Longcheng. Her father is a famous Confucian scholar in the literary world of the world, and his students are all over the world. Magistrate Ouyang Magistrate Ouyang Lianghan is his father's disciple... I guess I know him."

His tone was understated, as if chatting, but when the people like Master Ma and Master Li saw it, they looked at each other.

A small grain merchant sighed: "As expected of the Chen Langya Wang family and the Chenjun Chen Jun Xie family, they can pull lines everywhere in the Jiang Nan Circuit. It's the same business, but Young Manager Wang... alas, I really envy you."

The short young man waved his hand modestly.

But the more modest he was, the more Master Li, who was stroking his beard, sucked in cold air. He thought about it and asked in a low voice:

"So this grain price relaxation in Longcheng County, could it be that there is also the operation of the Young Manager behind it? No wonder you can bring grain to Longcheng so quickly. It turns out you are the dealer."

Everyone looked surprised, even Master Ma, who had a strong background, looked sideways slightly.

Wang Caozhi smiled faintly, waved his hand, continued to eat sweet zongzi, and did not explain.

Although he was a collateral descendant and not very valued in the family, he traveled north and south at a young age, operated a large firm, and managed all parties' connections steadily. What he relied on was this kind of speech technique of "not saying all the truth and not saying all the lies."

The grain merchants on the platform toasted and climbed up.

Master Ma also put down the prayer beads, smiled and toasted, but he continued to pay attention to the main viewing platform, turned his head and asked:

"Young Manager Wang, what is the relationship between this Magistrate Magistrate Ouyang and that Chen Jun Xie noble lady? How come they look so intimate? Could it be that there is a love between men and women? Otherwise, why would a Chen Jun Xie family lady run to this poor place for no reason?"

"How is it possible."

This time Wang Caozhi was not calm, and immediately replied, as if he had heard something very ridiculous, and said with a smile:

"This Chen Jun Xie family sister of mine is a seed of reading. She is very famous among the Wang-Chen Jun Xie generation, and her father is the great Confucian Chen Jun Xie Xun. How could she marry a man with a different surname? This is a direct descendant of the Chenjun Chen Jun Xie family. To say something that might be presumptuous, even if the direct descendant of the family behind Master Ma went to propose, he wouldn't be able to marry her."

Master Ma was not angry either, and nodded, "That's right, even the current Emperor can't help these few forbidden marriage families."

Everyone had no doubts, and chatted about selling grain and making money again. Other things might have disputes, but on the matter of making money, they were unprecedentedly united.

Wang Caozhi got up and toasted, signaling to everyone:

"Come, toast to everyone! The grain price has stayed at twenty coins a dou for a long time. You see, the people outside are still living well. It seems that everyone is quite rich. After this Dragon Boat Festival, the grain price must rise uniformly tomorrow!"

The short young man pointed to the wealthy families who had packed the viewing platforms.

Master Ma, who had a burly figure, clapped his hands and laughed, full of pride: "Hahaha, well said, rise! Rise to her mother! It just so happens that another 20,000 shi were transported this morning. The grain price in Longcheng County is up to us!"

"Hey, look!" As he was speaking, Master Ma suddenly brightened, grabbed the wine glass with liquid swaying, ran to the railing, threw the wine glass into the river, and pointed to the dragon boat race ahead and shouted:

"The dragon boat I bet on won, hahaha, good omen!"

Wang Caozhi, Master Li and others also stood up, smiled and applauded to congratulate.

At this moment, by Butterfly Creek, accompanied by the birth of the first dragon boat race champion of the day, amidst the gongs and drums, the atmosphere of the day reached a climax!

Countless eyes along Butterfly Creek gathered on the main viewing platform.

The rowers, helmsmen, drummers, and gong players of the winning dragon boat walked onto the stage naked, and were personally praised and presented with gifts by the Longcheng Magistrate.

It's just that amidst the joy and noise on all sides of the high platform, when the Magistrate Ouyang Magistrate, who was welcoming the winning dragon boat team, just stood up, he seemed to be slightly trance-like, but the Magistrate Official Diao, Yan Yan Liulang, and Chen Jun Xie Chen Jun Xie Lingjiang who returned from Aunt Zhen's side around him didn't notice anything.

When the excited helmsmen came to him, Magistrate Ouyang Rong's slightly abnormal face recovered.

"Hard work, everyone."

He smiled brightly and hung wreaths and colorful signs for everyone, turned around, and faced the stage.

The Longcheng people, participating dragon boats, and gentry and wealthy merchants under the stage were a little quiet, waiting for the customary speech by the magistrate.

On the street not far away, a fast horse figure suddenly appeared and galloped over.

At first, only some peripheral commoners discovered it, but when the focus of the whole field—Magistrate Magistrate Ouyang, who was silently stopping his speech, turned his head to look at the direction of the fast horse, most of the people on the field also noticed the abnormality.

The bustling crowd made way, the fast horse ran in, and the hoarse shouting of the rider on the horse resounded through the audience:

"Jiangzhou urgent report, Jiangzhou urgent report, Longcheng Magistrate receive report!"

There was a lot of discussion in the field, but it quieted down with a loud "Silence" from Magistrate Official Diao.

Liu Liu Ziwen and Liu Zi'an frowned and looked at each other. On another viewing platform, Wang Caozhi, Master Ma, Master Li and others looked around curiously.

Everyone only saw this tired fast rider rein in his horse in front of the main viewing platform at the ferry terminal, the courier dismounted, fell, dragged his leg to the stage and handed over the letter.

The young magistrate on the stage frowned slightly, first looked back at the subordinate officials behind him, then stepped forward, verified the identity with the panting courier, and then opened the urgent official document in full view and read it silently.

Countless eyes fell on the calm face of this Magistrate Ouyang Magistrate. He didn't speak immediately, and the atmosphere in the field couldn't help but become tense.

Everyone knew that generally, such urgent official documents of hundreds of miles were negative and serious matters, and needed to be quickly notified to the locality, otherwise some simple official business could be passed on slowly.

And the last time a similar official document was sent, it was the corruption case of the Jimin Granary.

Thinking of this, many people in the crowd had some bad premonitions, worrying about which natural disaster or man-made disaster happened, or was it war?

Some local gentry and landlords were also worried. Changes in some local policies were most easily affected by them.

On the other side, the foreign grain merchants like Wang Caozhi didn't have these worries. Official documents from Jiangzhou generally didn't have much impact on these merchants with mobility, and they definitely couldn't restrict their personal freedom, so most of them held a mentality of watching the excitement, wanting to see if there were any new business opportunities.

However, what was unexpected was that on the high platform, the young magistrate who was reading the official document silently smiled easily, raised his head, shook his head at the audience with a smile, and waved his hand to comfort the nervous subordinate officials behind him.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, it has nothing to do with everyone." He said easily. "Everyone continue to spend the Dragon Boat Festival, continue to play music and dance."

The stone that had been pressing on the hearts of many people in Longcheng was suddenly let go, and the silent crowd returned to the bustle. The foreign merchants like Wang Caozhi were disappointed instead, after all, there was no fun to watch... Bored, wanted to see blood flow like a river.

"However, I and my colleagues have to be busy again. Alas, it's not easy to have a Dragon Boat Festival holiday and still have an official document to work overtime..."

The young magistrate lowered his head, folded the letter paper as it was, and put it away. As if remembering something, he raised his head and asked casually:

"By the way, everyone is here, are there any friends in this county who have hoarded a large amount of grain? Please come to the county office to drink tea and report. Relax, it's not a big deal. It's just that Army Supervisor Lord Shen suspects that the grain stolen from the Jimin Granary is still in the Jiangzhou region, so after reporting to the imperial court, he ordered the various counties in Jiangzhou to not allow large amounts of stored grain to leave Jiangzhou privately starting from today. After the local government clarifies the origin, they can transport it away with a pass document..."

As the words fell, the sound wave in the field only became a little smaller, and then returned to normal. It was indeed a small matter. Most people didn't care about this, and didn't even understand it, and dispersed one after another.

On a certain viewing platform, Wang Caozhi, Master Ma, Master Li and a group of grain merchants who were preparing to go for team building were all stunned, and even suspected that they had misheard, and issued several "Ah" sounds one after another.

Looking at the young magistrate who was "coincidentally" stopping on their platform after scanning the audience, the young magistrate in the field seemed to be smiling with white teeth and a very sincere smile, Wang Caozhi and others suddenly shivered.

Please.

This time, after Meigongzi resolved Cao Cao Yuwei's attack, she didn't rush to attack, but just stood in place.

Cao Cao Yuwei frowned slightly. Is this little girl's perception so keen? After he turned into armor with fire, he had other means.
