Chapter 125 Killing a Cheng Yaojin halfway through 2
But it was said that Li Mu and Cui Wensheng had reached a deal, and Cui Wen sent someone to get the house deed. When the matter was about to be concluded, suddenly smoke and dust billowed from the east of the road, and a group of cavalry came, approaching from a distance, with clattering iron hooves. Seeing this posture, the people were excited.
They didn't dare to look at it, and they all dispersed like birds and beasts.
Li Mu was also a little confused. This was Chang'an City. Where did the cavalry come from? Could it be that there was a rebellion?
When the people and horses got closer, they could see clearly that they were all forbidden troops. Li Mu thought to himself that it was terrible. Could it be that there was too much movement and it aroused Li Shimin's dissatisfaction?
The imperial army quickly surrounded the area near the square gate. A veteran general drove his horse out of the formation, glanced at it, and said in a deep voice: "Who gathered a crowd to block the road? Cheng Yaojin is here, come forward and answer!"
When the people watching heard the three words "Cheng Yaojin", they all whispered. In the shadow of a famous tree, Cheng Yaojin's name was so resounding that no one in the Tang Dynasty knew it, but Cheng Yaojin
After all, they don't show up often. Even though they are Chang'an people, it's rare to see them. When I saw them today, they all stretched their necks to look at them.
When Li Mu saw Cheng Yaojin, he suddenly remembered that when he and Li Ji were talking about Cheng Yaojin that day, Li Ji had said that Cheng Yaojin was currently inspecting the Forbidden Army's troops and horses and was responsible for the guard of Chang'an City. But when he appeared here, he still
It's strange. Even if someone gathers to make trouble in Chang'an City, he can just send a captain to deal with it. Why should he, the left-wing general, take action for a trivial matter?
Although he was doubtful, Li Mu still had to come forward.
Li Mu came closer and saluted: "Uncle Cheng, do you still remember your nephew?"
"Ah? Why is my nephew here?" Cheng Yaojin got off the horse and chatted warmly with Li Mu. When no one was paying attention, he whispered: "I already know the matter and I came here to help you, nephew.
Don’t worry, I will stand up for you today and no one can bully you!"
Only then did Li Mu understand that Cheng Yaojin came here specifically for him. He couldn't afford this favor, so he quickly said: "Uncle Cheng, I'll tell you the truth, my nephew has actually..."
"You want to meet me outside? Besides, I'm going to be angry!"
Cheng Yaojin didn't give Li Mu a chance to explain at all. Just like the trick he used, Li Mu didn't say anything at all. Cheng Yaojin suddenly gave a loud shout and said: "This is unreasonable! In broad daylight, such a thing happened!
What a Boling Cui family, is there really no justice in the world? Today, Cheng Yaojin, the official of my host country, is going to uphold justice! Someone is here!"
"have!"
The Imperial Guards responded in unison, the sound was like thunder, and even the timid ones were so frightened that they peed when they heard the shout.
"Catch these young people for me and send them to Dali Temple for questioning!"
"Take orders!"
The Imperial Guards responded, swarmed up, picked off a few half-dead hapless guys hanging from the gate of the square, tied them into a ball, put them on their horses, and went straight to Dali Temple.
Cheng Yaojin patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I will bear this matter for you. My nephew, please put your heart in your heart. Go home and rest, and think about how to repay me, hahaha..."
Cheng Yaojin laughed, mounted his horse, and led the people away to Dali Temple. Li Mu stared blankly at the dust and almost cried. Old gangster, this is the old gangster! He was about to get the house deed.
, why are you just stepping in? I don’t need your help!
Now it's good, the store is gone, and he still owes a huge favor. After several contacts with Cheng Yaojin, Li Mu has understood Cheng Yaojin's temper. I'm afraid it will be difficult to repay this favor easily.
Seeing Cui Yuyan being taken away by Cheng Yaojin, Cui Wensheng hurriedly ran over from the crowd, grabbed Li Mu's sleeve, and said: "Zhuluhou, how can you do this? Everything has been agreed, I have sent people to go."
You have already obtained the house deed and you asked Duke Su to bring someone here. How can you go back on your promise?"
Li Mulian was stunned for a moment, then realized who this person was, and said with a wry smile: "You think I want him to come? I still don't know what's going on! Mr. Cui, don't think that you are the only one who suffers, I owe such a big debt
It’s a personal favor, I don’t know how to repay it!”
After that, Li Mu shook off Cui Wensheng's pull and regardless of what he thought, got into Bai Qiaoqiao's carriage and went home with his entourage. After a day's work, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely and he didn't even have lunch.
Eat, but in the end nothing was left behind, and a huge favor was gained. If I had known this, I would have beaten Cui Yuyan and gone home, ugh...
After Li Mu left, both parties involved were gone, and the people also dispersed. The craftsmen from the craftsman's workshop came out to clean up, and the streets returned to their original state, as if nothing had happened.
Both Cui Yuyan and Wang Zhongyuan were sent to Dali Temple by Cheng Yaojin. Cui Wensheng quickly found his friend Sun Fuga of the same age. Sun Fuga is currently the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and is the actual second-in-command of Dali Temple. Cui Wensheng wanted to use his
We must have some connections to find out the news. Now that people have arrived at Dali Temple, it is impossible not to make a big fuss. Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to the Supreme Court of later generations, and Cheng Yaojin personally sent it to Li Shimin.
Even if Sun Fujia wanted to help, he couldn't.
Cui Yuyan waited for a long time before Sun Fujia came out to see him. The two came to a secluded corner, and Sun Fujia opened his mouth and said: "This matter has been sent to Heaven to hear. Everything has to wait for His Majesty's decree. I can't help."
.”
Cui Wensheng sighed and said: "It's all my fault that my unscrupulous nephew has caused trouble to Brother Wang...Brother Sun, I wonder how my nephew is doing now?"
"I have already found a doctor and helped him apply gold sore medicine. They are all skin injuries. They look scary, but there is no danger to his life."
Cui Wensheng gritted his teeth and said: "Hateful Li Mu, if you give me a chance, I will..."
"Brother Cui, be careful!" Sun Fujia interrupted Cui Wensheng and said: "Brother Cui, we are the same age and good friends, so I will say one more thing. If my nephew has bad character and plans for Brother Cui, it is better to make plans with him.
It’s best to clear the line, otherwise Brother Cui may be implicated in this matter.”
Cui Wensheng said in panic: "I haven't come forward yet, will it involve me?"
Sun Fujia did not explain too much, and said: "The Holy Heart is unpredictable, everything can happen in one thought of your Majesty. Brother Cui, it is not convenient to talk here. Brother Cui should go back home quickly and make some preparations."
After saying that, Sun Fujia entered the official office again. Cui Wensheng was confused, but he couldn't think of a solution for the moment, so he had to go back to his hometown and wait for the news tomorrow to see the situation.
Li Shimin did not let Cui Wensheng wait too long, and the decree came down the next day. Cui Yuyan behaved badly, behaved frivolously, and violated the family members of honorable ladies. He was punished twenty times, fined fifty guan, exiled two thousand miles, and served for one year. Wang Zhongyuan, the magistrate of Chang'an County, Wang Zhongyuan
, the emperor was not strict, and was fined for one year, and kept it to see the effect. The yamen servants and other officials were responsible for 30 years, and they were demoted and could not be used again. Cui Wensheng indulged his nephew and neglected to teach, so he could not escape the blame, so he was demoted to the first level and changed.
He was appointed as a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Wailang. The rest who participated in the fight were awarded twenty battles.
Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, abused lynching and had a bad influence, so he was banned from home for ten days.
