As soon as Li Mu came out of the greenhouse, he met the aggressive Li Shimin. Seeing his ugly face, Li Mu knew what had happened, but he didn't show it at all. He smiled and said: "Why is your majesty so angry? I'm sorry.
What went wrong?"
"You are committing fraud!" Li Shimin threw the betting slip that Li Mu gave him in his face and cursed: "What is this you gave me? You can't pay it! I still feel that I owe you, so I will give you an official title."
Jinjue, well, I’ve been fooled by you!”
Li Mu was 'shocked' and quickly picked up the betting slip and said distressedly: "No matter how angry your majesty is, you can't make fun of this betting slip. This is hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"Fart! This thing is worthless!" Li Shimin was still angry and wanted to continue talking, but he was too angry to speak. He pointed at Eunuch Gao behind him and said: "Gao Gong, you say it, you tell me, I won't follow.
He speaks!"
Eunuch Gao responded and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, your joke is too big. In the afternoon, our family took the bet slip to Sihai Casino to cash it out, but shopkeeper Zhao said: "
"Eunuch Gao, let me interrupt you, have you gone to the wrong place? Where can I find Shopkeeper Zhao in Sihai Gambling House?"
"That's Zhao Ergou!" Eunuch Gao said helplessly: "I can't call him Shopkeeper Dog, right?"
Li Mu burst out laughing: "Dog shopkeeper? Ha, that's quite appropriate."
"Still laughing!" Li Shimin raised his hand to hit Li Mu, but Li Mu ran away and shouted: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? This is not dignified."
"Don't interrupt, explain it to me clearly, senior officer, keep talking!"
Eunuch Gao continued: "When we met with shopkeeper Zhao, our family proposed to pay, but shopkeeper Zhao said that the bet slip cannot be paid."
Li Mu was furious: "You idiot! Why can't you pay? Did he say that the bet slip was fake?"
"Not at all. He admitted that it was true, but he refused to cash in. He said that what the Marquis got was a double number one prize, not a double number one prize, and the bet was on a double number one prize. How could the double number one number count? So,
When the compensation is paid, the winnings will be calculated according to those who bet on the Marquis and fail to win, and those who bet on the Marquis and win will all lose."
"This..." Li Mu frowned and said, "It's not unreasonable, but this should be discussed. I am indeed the double number one scholar, and I became the double number one scholar by letting him go."
Li Shimin took over and said, "Yes, the senior officials also said so, but he just won't pay. What do you think we should do about this!"
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. I'll ask again." Li Mu looked at Eunuch Gao again and said, "Eunuch Gao, didn't you mention it to him? I was the winner of the two top picks who were let out."
"I said it, why didn't you say it?" Gao Gonggong said, showing his hands: "But they also said that based on the imperial list, who is the number one scholar and who is the number one scholar written on the imperial list. He gave me some prevarication and came back, like this
What can I do?"
"Yes, what can Ru Zhi do?" Li Mu also imitated Gao Gong and spread his hands. Li Shimin glared at him: "Who are you talking to? I'm asking you now, what can Ru Zhi do?"
"I have no idea!" Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial list should really be used as the standard, right? Otherwise, Your Majesty, you can issue an imperial edict and change the imperial list? If I don't give in, I should be the number one scholar.
, for your majesty’s hundreds of thousands of gold, I am willing! I can also easily get an old apprentice.”
"You!" Li Shimin was so angry that he almost lost his temper. The emperor's golden words cannot be taken back, let alone the imperial list that is announced to the world? How can a major imperial examination be a piece of cake? If the list is released, it can be taken back.
Will anyone take the imperial examination next time?
Li Shimin reached out and tore the betting slip in Li Mu's hand to pieces and threw it on the ground. He gave Li Mu a fierce look, turned around and left. Eunuch Gao quickly followed, and the master and servant went down the mountain.
Li Mu smiled, picked up the paper scraps, and returned home with the hoe. Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien had prepared dinner, and Li Mu could eat it after washing his hands.
…
At dusk, Wang Ou returned to her mansion. As soon as she took a sip of tea, a maid came over in a hurry and whispered something into Wang Ou's ear.
Wang Ou looked shocked and said: "You mean, traces of loose tiles were found on the warehouse? Someone went into the house?"
The maid nodded and said: "That's what the visitor said. The leader suspects that a master overheard his conversation with you."
"Who has such good Qing Gong!" Wang Ou frowned and thought, "Can Wei Fu do it?"
After a brief pause, she said to herself: "Although Wei Fu's Qing Gong is good, it shouldn't reach this level."
"Qinggong is better than Wei Fu's. How many people are there in the world? Who could follow me..." Wang Ou suddenly felt a thump in his heart. Wei Fu's Qinggong is one of the best in the world. This Jianghu man in Chang'an City
, it cannot be said that there are no people who surpass him, and there are definitely not many. But there are two people who are not Jianghu people, but they have qinggong, but they must surpass Wei Fu.
The first one is Eunuch Gao next to Li Shimin. It is said that Eunuch Gao has outstanding martial arts skills. Six years ago, when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were competing for the throne, both sides hired martial arts masters to assassinate Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng was guarded by crossbowmen day and night, and Li Shimin was surrounded by crossbowmen.
But no, there was only one Eunuch Gao who blocked all the assassins. Therefore, there were rumors in the world that Eunuch Gao's martial arts were unfathomable, especially his light kung fu, which was like a ghost.
As for the second person, Wang Ou suspected that it was Dugu Jiu next to Li Mu. She had never seen Dugu Jiu's skills with her own eyes, but she had seen Dugu Jiu's Qinggong. Dugu Jiu often appeared suddenly in front of Li Mu and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
His Qing Gong skills are clearly demonstrated. Moreover, Wei Fu once reported that he and Dugu Jiu were defeated in a Qing Gong competition, which shows that Dugu Jiu's Qing Gong is at least better than Wei Fu's.
Wang Ou's face turned miserable. If this master was really one of these two people, the consequences would be disastrous.
She knew Li Shimin's thoughts about her. If Li Shimin knew that Cui Yuzheng was still alive, and she and Cui Yuzheng made a plan to borrow seeds from Li Mu, then Cui Yuzheng, she, and Li Mu would not survive.
And if this master is Dugu Jiu, that is something Wang Ou doesn't want to face. If Li Mu finds out about this, she really doesn't know how to see Li Mu again.
"Has the leader confirmed this? Or has someone seen the master?"
The maid said respectfully: "No one saw it. It was the black dragon envoy who found the traces. The leader was worried, so he came to inform the saint."
"Where is the leader now?"
"The leader has been moved to a safe place, the saint does not need to worry."
Wang Ou looked at the maid, frowned and asked, "Can't I even know where the leader is?"
The maid did not avoid Wang Ou's gaze and said: "I dare not disobey the leader's wishes. If I can let the saint know about it, the saint will definitely know. Please don't embarrass me."
Wang Ou took a deep look at the maid and suddenly laughed: "As expected of the snake slave next to the leader, he is indeed extraordinary. Okay, it's none of your business. Go down."
