"Sir, your message has been informed."

An hour later, Zhang Ke returned to the county government office to resume his duties.

"What's everyone's reaction?" Li Mu closed his eyes and meditated on the desk. The candlelight flickered, illuminating his face with uncertainty. His official authority... was like a prison!

Zhang Kecheng was frightened and quickly lowered his head and said: "Captain Zhao said that he had made an appointment with the county captain to hold a candlelight night talk, but he couldn't come. Bantou Cheng said that he was getting old and Yin Shi was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get up, so he asked the younger one to invite you.

Forgive me."

The leader of Team Cheng is called Cheng Kong, the leader of Station Team, Zhang Ke’s immediate boss.

"This old fritter doesn't care about him." Li Mu opened his eyes, "Where is Lin's baby whale?"

"Team leader Lin said he got it." Zhang Ke continued, "There are others, the younger one has also been notified."

"Well, you did a good job. I'll get a reward of one or two silver coins later." Li Mu then ordered, "You stay here tonight and wake me up when Yin Shi arrives!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Ke's morale was high due to the reward of silver.

…

The night is dark.

Six candles burned silently, and the Yin hour finally arrived.

Zhang Ke came in with dark circles under his eyes: "Sir, Yin Shi has arrived."

"Go get a basin of water." Li Mu opened his eyes. He looked at the empty study room and felt a little disappointed.

"Yes, sir!"

After washing, Li Mu stretched his muscles and recited "Xiaoyaoyou" silently at the same time. The disappointment in his heart quickly disappeared, and he gradually felt calm.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Ke suddenly came in and reported: "Sir, Team Leader Lin is here."

Li Mu's eyes lit up: "Let him come in."

"Sir." Lin Yingjing walked into the study and bowed his hands outside the bead curtain, "Yin Shi invited me, but I don't know what my instructions are."

"Boss Lin, do you know what day it is today?" Li Mu was in a good mood.

"To my lord, today is the second day of February, and the dragon raises its head," Lin Yingjing replied.

"It seems you don't know yet." Li Mu threw out the urgent newspaper from the imperial court, "Read it for yourself."

Lin Yingjing took the booklet and read it quickly, his expression changed drastically: "Sir, this..."

"This is not a secret. The county knows everything it needs to know. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Mu said.

Everyone in the county knows this, but this...is actually true?

Lin Youjing was shocked. He thought of the county magistrate and the Shi family, the county captain and Zhao Captou. These people usually formed cliques for personal gain. They had tried to woo him several times, but he had rejected them all. The most recent time was yesterday, Zhao

The arrester said that if he doesn't surrender, he will regret it too late in the future.

Could it be that because of the coming of purple energy from the east, he would miss the great opportunity of the way of heaven to evolve his natal mind?

"Sir, you tell me this because you want me to...serve you?" Lin Yingjing frowned.

Over the past year, he felt that he had seen through this confused county magistrate, and if he really wanted to surrender, he would not be willing to do so.

But this news was indeed important to him. It was a great opportunity. If he was asked to repay it, he didn't know what he would get in return.

Li Mu noticed his resistance and said with a smile: "You are wrong. I don't want your service. As long as you perform your duties faithfully as usual, that's fine! Besides, besides you, I also informed the others that if you come,

, I will give him opportunities! Don’t put too much burden on you.”

Lin Yingjing was slightly relieved, but then he became worried about what essay he was going to memorize.

If he chooses an article at random, he won't be willing to do it!

At this time, 'Timely Rain' Li Mu stood up at the right time, walked out of the curtain, handed "Song of Righteousness" into his hands, and solemnly said: "I hope you won't insult it!"

Lin Yingjing took it and took a look, subconsciously reading silently: The heaven and earth are full of righteousness, and they are mixed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars. To others, it is said to be vast, and it is as abundant as the sky...

For a moment, he felt chills all over his body, as if thunder and lightning struck him, stirring up a piece of chicken skin.

In his mind, mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars were all shining brightly, illuminating him!

But as I continued reading, I found that some names and events cited were incomprehensible. The mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars in my mind suddenly went out.

"Sir, this is..." Lin Yingjing was surprised, but also worried and confused.

"This is a song of righteousness. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." Li Mu reminded him that there is still more than half an hour before the purple energy comes from the east, so there is not much time.

Lin Yingjing quickly suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked for advice carefully.

He didn't read much, but he didn't read much. He was able to appreciate this poem with a very high spirit. The first chant made him feel emotional. If he recited it silently when the purple energy came from the east...

He couldn't help but feel infinite gratitude to Li Mu, and thought to himself: Although your Excellency is confused, with today's kindness, I will do whatever it takes to protect him in the future!

Li Mu explained "Song of Righteousness" once, and Lin Yingjing did not dare to question it, accepted it completely, and then began to recite it.

"Sir, someone is here again." Zhang Ke led another person in at this time. Li Mu looked and saw eight people.

Based on his memory, he recognized these people, Zhang Long and Zhang Hu from the Zhuang Class, these two were Lin Yingjing's right and left hand men, and unexpectedly they were also literate.

There are two other agents, Liu Qi and Deng Yan. These two people can't deal with Agent Zhao, but they can be used!

Under the leadership of the veteran Cheng Kong, if no one came to the station class, there would be a raging nest!

As for the remaining four people, they were actually the county widower Song Dian, Kuding Zhoucang, watchman Xu Tong and horseman Yang Ma.

Li Mu was surprised. He could only read and write, but the other three, a watchman, a carriage driver, and a warehouse keeper, why are you here to join in the fun?

"Sir." Zhang Ke trotted over and whispered, "Zhou Cang used to be the county Chinese clerk. He offended the county magistrate, so he was transferred to Kuding. Xu Tong inherited his father's business and read a lot of books when he was young. Yang Ma He was once a book boy in a wealthy family, but later his family fell into decline and he became a groom."

What else could Li Mu say, he nodded and said: "Since we are here, let's come together."

Li Mu told them what he told Lin Yingjing again, and asked them to follow Lin Yingjing and recite and understand it together.

When everyone learned that the purple energy was coming from the east, spiritual energy was revived, and they saw the impassioned and upright "Song of Righteousness", they immediately felt infinite gratitude.

This is human nature, but how long this feeling can be remembered varies from person to person.

Li Mu didn't force it, he just hoped that they could help him contain him in the subsequent fight!

A light flashed in Li Mu's eyes. Through Han Qingqian's suicide, he had realized that the conflicts between himself and the county magistrate and others could not be reconciled, because when the purple energy came from the east and the spiritual energy revived, there was no one in the world who would be born from the spiritual energy. There are so many treasures of heaven and earth, Qingping County is not big or small, it is a hundred miles in circumference!

Who owns this opportunity that is a hundred miles away?

Also, southwest of Qingping County, along the Lancang River, is the Hengduan Mountains, which stretches for thousands of miles. There are many mountains, deep forests and luxuriant trees. It is inaccessible. I don’t know how many rare mountain medicines are there. If you wait for the spiritual energy to revive, there will be What rich opportunities have spawned?

If we can control Qingping County, in the future...

Li Mu took a deep breath and was ready to fight.

It's good to win, but it doesn't matter if you lose. The big deal is to go out alone in the world!

In the study, outside the bead curtain, Lin Yingjing and other nine people were reciting "Song of Righteousness", and the atmosphere was hot and warm.

Inside the bead curtain, Li Mu calmly recited "Xiaoyaoyou" silently, waiting for the purple energy to come from the east.

at the same time.

Three miles outside the county, Shifu.

In the front yard, all the literate members of the Shi family gathered together, led by Butler Sun, and each recited a short essay.

In the backyard, Shi Zhongyu was holding the Pingguo articles written by the great scholar of the previous dynasty, shaking his head and reciting them, mesmerized.

Not far away, Shi Gandang held a Zen scripture of joy in his hand, his eyes shining.

…

South of the county center.

The Qian family's mansion.

In the spacious living room, County Lieutenant Qian Wanjun opened the window and looked at the moon, his eyes fierce as a tiger, and in his hand was a volume of martial arts written by a great scholar of the time.

Behind him, the head catcher Zhao Tian led several of his henchmen, sweating profusely while reciting the article.

…

The courtyard of the Su family of the county magistrate.

Su Yuan looked at the more than thirty people in front of him with joy. They were ten teachers from the county academy and twenty-three close students. These people would be the foundation for his rise!
