After Li Mu heard Zhou Daoquan's words, he was slightly startled: "Sir, why did you say this? We will eradicate the evil for our neighbors, kill the rebels, sit upright, act upright, clarify the punishments, and try to be upright. How can we do it?
Have you used your power to kill someone?"
Zhou Daozong's expression was gloomy: "That's nonsense!"
He patted the table lightly, made a dull sound, and shouted: "Killing without permission, showing off one's power, treating people like pigs and dogs, killing people like killing insects, without any mercy, how can this be called sitting upright?"
?This is not called using power to kill people, what is it called?"
Zhang Shihong was so frightened that he lowered his hands and lowered his head: "Yes, what the boss is teaching you is that you get carried away with your humble position and forget the laws and regulations..."
Li Mu frowned and looked at Zhou Daoquan: "Sir, in accordance with the laws of the Yin Dynasty, we should interrogate and interrogate when we should, sentence and sentence when we should, behead when we should behead, and kill when we should kill. We have eradicated harm for the people and cleaned up the chaos for the court. We have never done it at all.
We have no selfish motives for any illegal actions. Sir, where does your anger come from?"
Zhou Daoquan stared at Li Mu: "You don't have any selfish intentions?"
Li Mu said: "That's right! Li Mu rescued the victims and killed the rebels, without any selfish motives!"
He said these words decisively and without any hesitation.
The hall suddenly became quiet.
At this time, in the county government hall, in addition to Li Mu and Zhang Shihong, there were other minor officials who were ready to take orders. At this time, they were all horrified to see that Li Muji had the courage to confront Zhou Daoquan.
Zhou Dao is the governor of Yunzhou, a second-grade official in the border area, and has the power to specialize.
Nowadays, Yunzhou is tens of thousands of miles away from the imperial city of Zhongzhou. It is extremely inconvenient to communicate and send letters. Every feudal official is almost as powerful as the king of a small country. He has great power and can decide the life and death of the living beings in the state.
Every governor is a well-deserved boss in the territory under his jurisdiction. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local emperor.
In addition to being responsible to the emperor, they can make their own decisions on other matters, big and small.
Therefore, except for some royal children and children of big families, few people dare to face the governor's majesty, and even fewer people dare to refute the governor's views face to face.
But now when Li Mu faced Governor Zhou Daoquan, he showed no fear and contradicted him face to face, which shocked everyone onlookers.
If you really want to die, don’t hold us back!
Are you allowed to contradict the Governor?
Didn’t you see that Zhang Shihong was so frightened that he didn’t even dare to raise his head?
You are a guy who is not even a civil servant. How can you be so courageous if you are not a talented scholar without any fame?
Everyone's heart was beating wildly. They stood in the hall and looked at Li Mu as if they were looking at a dead person.
Even Zhang Shihong raised his head in surprise, stretched out his hand and tugged on Li Mu's sleeve: "Mu Zhi speaks carefully..."
Li Mu smiled and said: "We do things openly, what can't we say? The boss has a bright eye, I believe he won't really take offense."
Zhang Shihong: "..."
Sweat dripped from his forehead: "Mu Zhi, don't be impulsive..."
Others may not know much about Zhou Daoquan, but Zhang Shihong was a person who went to Yunzhou Prefecture to take the exam. When he took the provincial examination in Yunzhou City, he heard about what the new governor Zhou Daoquan did more than once.
For example, killing a powerful family, beheading a disobedient corrupt official, sending people to sweep away the monsters in that mountain, and the list goes on and on.
No matter what you look at, Mr. Zhou is not a soft-hearted person. On the contrary, he should be the kind of strong-armed person who is willing to kill anyone who disobeys for his own political philosophy.
Faced with such a person, Zhang Shihong didn't even have the courage to look directly at him, let alone confront him face to face.
"I was also obsessed with lard, and actually listened to Mu Zhi's words and actually killed so many people."
Zhang Shihong regretted a little: "Now that I've made the boss angry, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve as a county magistrate!"
Fortunately, he has the status of a civil servant and has a good reputation, so he is not in danger of being beheaded. However, he probably won't be able to take the position of county magistrate that he finally got by taking advantage of the opportunity.
But Li Mu was his savior, and Zhang Shihong gave his full support to whatever Li Mu wanted to do. He had no other choice.
Even if he offended the governor today and was dismissed from office, it can only be said to be bad luck, but there is no way to resent Li Mu.
After all, it was his own idea to kill the gangsters, so he couldn't blame it entirely on Li Mu.
Zhang Shihong stood there tremblingly, not daring to raise his head. He only felt that the thoughtful gaze in front of him was like reality. When it stopped on him, goosebumps appeared on his skin.
The scene was quiet for a moment.
Bang!
Zhou Daoquan suddenly slapped his palm on the table in front of him: "How brave!"
"Ah!"
Zhang Shihong was so frightened that he trembled and fell to the ground.
Li Mu, however, remained motionless and looked directly at Zhou Daoquan: "Please give me some advice, sir."
Zhou Dao's expression remained unchanged, and he stared at Li Mu for a moment. Just when everyone thought he was going to get angry and deal with Li Mu, they saw him suddenly laughing: "Okay!"
He smiled at Li Mu and said: "Although there are many people in the officialdom who can insist on their opinions without wavering and are unyielding, they are still a minority. Mu Zhi, I don't like what you and Shihong do.
But I like your character very much."
Zhang Shihong slowly got up from the ground and calmed down. Today's incident is over, but the shock just now was undeniable, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Zhou Daoquan sat down slowly and nodded to Li Mu: "You all can sit down, I won't do this next time!"
He said to Li Mu: "You two used my guise to label a group of disobedient people in the county as rebels and kill them all. Although your original intention was good, your approach was in the devil's way, and you were incompatible with the bullying officials."
What's the difference?"
There are certain rules for doing anything, especially in human society, whether it is officialdom or the battlefield, there is a kind of conventional or universal rules.
Since the Yin Dynasty has set down the rules, Zhang Shihong and Li Mu, as members of the court, should abide by the rules. Once the restrictions are broken, they will basically violate the rules.

Li Mu and Zhang Shihong pretended to be powerful and used Zhou Daoquan's name as a banner to kill so many people at once, which cannot be justified by law and reason. Even if the result is good, it cannot cover up the injustice of the procedure.<
/p>
This is what Zhou Daoquan is angry about.
Confucian disciples have certain rules for how to behave in the world. They have etiquette and rules. They must do things within the rules. Once the rules are broken and exceed the standards, great hidden dangers will definitely arise.
Just like the master taught his disciples in the past, you can only become a disciple under his disciples if you do whatever you want without breaking the rules. Otherwise, there will definitely be something wrong with what you think and do, and your actions will not reach the level of moderation.
Zhou Daoquan is a descendant of the ancient Confucian lineage and attaches great importance to rules. Therefore, he is very angry with Li Mu and Zhang Shihong's behavior in the past few days. If it were not for Li Mu's face, they would have been thrown into prison and dealt with according to the law.<
/p>
He has been injured and recuperating these days, and his spiritual thoughts are all over the place, monitoring the movements of dozens of miles around. From the few words spoken by Gu Qingcheng and Hu Yunniang, he has deduced that the people who saved him a few days ago turned out to be Li Mu and Gu Qingcheng.<
/p>
After practicing to his level, the inner lake can reflect the movement of the world in all directions. Under normal circumstances, no movement can be hidden from his perception.
It's just that the sky in Queyue Mountain Cave is a world of its own, making it impossible for him to detect the situation inside. And because he is eager to save people, he has no choice but to take a risk for Shen Chong's safety. He thought that with his ability, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he can't.
As for causing him harm.
Unexpectedly, he was infected physically and mentally by Que Yue Dong Tian's debilitating aura. Then he was taken advantage of by monsters and attacked and injured. Fortunately, a peerless master punched Que Yue Dong Tian, repairing the entire Dong Tian world and removing Zhou Dao.
The decaying aura in his body allowed Zhou Daoquan to take the opportunity to escape from Queyue Cave. With the help of Li Mu, he returned to Qinghe County safely.
He spent the past few days recovering from his injuries and summarizing his thoughts. There were two people who really shocked him.
One was the peerless master who suddenly appeared. He was really powerful to the extreme. I don’t know which ancestor of the leader level came and reshaped a cave world with just one punch. His magical powers and methods were really unheard of.
When the Master was alive in the past, I'm afraid it was nothing more than this.
There is another person, Li Mu.
If he had not monitored the movements in Qinghe County and heard the chat between Gu Qingcheng and Hu Yunniang, he would not have known that the person who rescued him from the turtle and snake demons a few days ago turned out to be Li Mu.
Therefore, even though he knew that Li Mu and Zhang Shihong had gone too far and killed too many people in the past few days, Zhou Daoquan did not step in to stop them. Today, he just scolded them without making any fuss.
"That's the end of this matter. It won't happen again!"
He sat in the hall and said to Li Mu and Zhang Shihong: "You have done quite well in making many arrangements for farmland water conservancy. This time, the merits and demerits are equal. I will neither punish you nor reward you."
Small book booth
Li Mu hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, boss, for your understanding."
Zhang Shihong was even more overjoyed: "The master is so loving and caring, and the students are grateful!"
Sitting in the hall, he began to discuss the affairs of the victims of the two counties. After everything was arranged, Zhou Daoquan looked at Li Mu: "Muzhi, in two months, it will be the year of the Great Competition. In three days, we will have
Return to Yunzhou City to prepare for the invigilation. If you are taking the provincial examination, you have to prepare as early as possible."
He said to Li Mu: "Based on your merits in the county, I can report to the court and grant you a place to be a civil servant. You will have fame without taking the exam. But how can the fame you get from the reward compare with what you get from the exam? You'd better do it
It’s better to take the exam yourself.”
When Zhou Daoquan said this, he laughed and said: "A group of girls from Wanhua Tower are still waiting for you."
