Liu Daogui's eyes became firm, he looked at Liu Muzhi, and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to bear everything, just for the great cause of big brother to be completed, but Fatty, you must also swear that no matter what situation you and Wang Miaoyin encounter,
, this original intention of fighting for all the people of the world will never change!"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Isn't that what we are doing now? Don't worry, I will definitely..."
Suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door. Liu Muzhi's expression changed, he stopped what he was talking about, and without turning around, he said in a deep voice: "Didn't I give an order that no one is allowed to approach?"
The two guards, who were all green and sometimes with brown stripes, looked exactly like the rockeries and flowers and trees in the courtyard. They came in a hurry behind Tan Daoji. Tan Daoji said in a deep voice: "Pang Changshi, Yu
Yue suddenly brought Tao Yuanming to see him, saying that he wanted to visit Brother Dao Gui, what should we do now?"
Liu Daogui's expression changed: "What, Tao Yuanming is actually at Yu Yue's place?"
Liu Muzhi's expression was calm, as if he had expected this outcome. He looked back at Liu Daogui and said, "I'll go meet them. Don't worry, no matter what, I won't kill Tao Yuanming here. Even if I have to deal with him, I have to do it."
Just bring Jiankang back, after all he is a famous person in the world."
Liu Daogui struggled to get up: "Help me up, I want to..."
But before he could support his body, he fell back on the couch. He could only sigh and closed his eyes. Tan Daoji outside the door looked anxious: "Fat Chang Shi, Brother Dao Gui, he is now
How's it going?"
Liu Muzhi waved his fat hand again, and pierced Liu Daogui's body with several silver needles, causing him to fall asleep again. He said in a deep voice: "It's very troublesome for Daogui to be hit by an arrow this time. I won't do it now."
If it can be dealt with, I can only temporarily suppress the toxins in his body and put him into a deep sleep. For the time being, all the affairs here are left to me to handle. You have all seen the token. The slave gives me the right to do things cheaply.
"
Tan Daoji saluted solemnly and said: "We, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou, all obey Liu Changshi's orders. Please give your order now, and we will definitely implement it."
Liu Muzhi curled his lips: "Where are Yu Yue and Tao Yuanming now? Are they in the court of the Governor's Mansion?"
Tan Daoji shook his head: "No, they were wearing cloaks and came in from the side door of the back door. I think they don't want to reveal their identity now, and they also asked to meet Brother Daogui in the side hall."
Liu Muzhi sneered and said: "It seems that Tao Yuanming also knows that leaving Jiankang without permission is a capital crime and dare not make it public. Or maybe he has some hidden secrets that cannot be brought to light. Whatever, since I am here today, I will go and meet them.
Daoji, arrange for them to meet in the Liyuan courtyard. I have my own guards for the surrounding security. You only need to send troops to guard outside the courtyard. Don’t tell anyone about this. As for Daogui, you will be on duty personally and send three more people.
Double the number of troops were deployed outside the courtyard, while Dao Gui himself, together with this couch, was moved to the agreed-upon secret passage secret room, waiting for me to come back to deal with it."
Tan Daoji said seriously: "I understand, follow your orders!"
After Liu Muzhi explained all this, he strode out and murmured: "Tao Yuanming, I want to see how you explain it in front of me this time."
A quarter of an hour later, in the small courtyard of the Liyuan, there was an inconspicuous main room. The door was open. There was an incense burner in the hall, and light smoke was curling up. Liu Muzhi, Yu Yue, and Tao Yuanming were sitting on the left and right of the main room facing each other.
, the small couch at the top was empty. The three of them were all wearing cloaks, which looked a little weird. I didn’t expect that the three heavyweights with the most power in the world or the most famous people in the world would act like this.
The way we met here, if you told others, they would definitely not believe it.
Yu Yue coughed dryly, glanced at the empty couch, and said: "Liu Changshi, since you have the gold medal of Liu Cheqi in your hand, in Jingzhou, no, wherever you go, you will see the token like a king,
If you act cheaply, then you should take a seat here."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly and said: "The position of Jingzhou governor is regulated by Taoism. Even if he is temporarily unable to serve as governor due to injury, this position will still be vacant for him. Even if he cannot continue to be the governor due to physical reasons, here will be the successor to the governor.
As for the position, no matter how cheap I am, it is only in the capacity of patrolling, not in charge of governing Jingzhou. I still have to clearly distinguish where I should sit and where I should not sit."
Having said this, he looked at Tao Yuanming: "Mr. Tao, do you think so?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "What Liu Changshi said are all good words, and Yuanming benefited a lot."
The smile on Liu Muzhi's face slowly faded, and he still looked at Tao Yuanming motionless: "It's just Mr. Tao, it seems your position shouldn't be here."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "It seems that Liu Changshi's position should not be here."
Liu Muzhi's face darkened and he said coldly: "I got this gold medal and came to Jingzhou for two things. One is to lead troops to reinforce Jingzhou and fight against monsters and thieves together, and at the same time to inspect the situation here. The second thing is,
Hehe, Tao Gong disappeared without any reason in Jiankang City. There is news that you followed Xu Daofu and appeared here in Jingzhou, and this is your hometown, Tao Gong. There are various rumors, so I have to come and check it out.
What is the situation? Mr. Tao, please tell me."
Yu Yue hurriedly said: "Please let me report to you about Mr. Tao. He is definitely not..."
Liu Muzhi suddenly raised his hand: "Yugong, this is not an official hall, and we are not wearing official robes. There is no need for such official titles. You call me Mu Zhi, and I will call you Mu Zhi."
Isn't it nice that you two are both public servants? Before officially reporting Tao Gong's whereabouts, I just want to ask about your situation as a friend or an old friend. If you need me to protect you, I will
I'll do my best, but I hope what I hear is the truth. If I get a different version from other channels, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do something."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Yu Gong, what Brother Mu said is very accurate. This is an opportunity for me to explain clearly what happened in the past few months before I go to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice or the Tingwei Mansion for questioning.
If this is the case, you don’t have to defend me on my behalf.”
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "Mu Zhi, besides Tao Gong's matter, I also have something to defend you about. We have something to do. You should listen to Tao Gong's own defense first."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Please believe that I have enough intelligence and spies, and I will definitely report to Marshal Liu based on the true situation and make the most just decision. Tao Gong, now you can explain why you are in Jiankang
In the Meng Mansion, all the guards are dead, but you are missing? Is it true that you were rescued by Xu Daofu's men, as rumored?" ()
