Li Mu gave an order, but no one responded to him. Bai Qiaoqiao was looking at a piece of cloth Jin Chendi gave her, planning to cut clothes for the child who was about to be born. Su Dingfang pressed the sword in his hand, not curious or caring at all.
It looks like he is a military general and is good at fighting. This kind of investigation is not within his capabilities.
Suddenly, Su Dingfang turned around and looked at Li Mu, and said sternly: "Would you like me to lead the troops?"
"What are you doing?" Li Mu glared at him and said, "Leading troops to kill people?"
Su Dingfang was speechless, but Li Mu was stunned for a moment, as if a door had been opened, and he became more energetic: "Yes, kill someone, why didn't I think of doing that just now?"
Su Dingfang became more energetic: "Who do you want to kill?"
"We won't kill anyone, but we will make our opponents think that we are going to kill someone -" Li Mu chuckled and said, "Go out and ask who is the most powerful in Chang'an City. Let's go to his house for dinner today!
"
This is not difficult to find out. You can ask just about anyone on the street. Su Dingfang accepted the order, turned around and went out, and came back to report after a while. It is said that in Luoyang City, when it comes to family members, the Fan Yang Lu family is the most respected, but when it comes to
As a noble man, Uncle Dou Guo will do his part!
Speaking of Dou Guojiu, he is also a famous figure. He is different from Changsun Wuji, who is Li Shimin’s brother-in-law. And this Dou Guojiu is Li Yuan’s brother-in-law. He was the original uncle of the current dynasty.
Also known as 'Guojiu'.
He, the uncle of the state, is a very famous figure among the nobles. What is so surprising about him? First, as an uncle of the state, he is a small uncle of the state. He is two years younger than Li Shimin.
He is considered an old man of the Dou family and has been favored since he was a child. Secondly, he has a perverse personality and is domineering. Relying on his noble birth and seniority, he always does things to bully others. Because he is not big
Evil, no one can do anything to take him. Who dares to take him to the county magistrate? Take him? Tell me his name. I am the emperor's uncle, who dares to move?
Although Li Mu analyzed that the person behind him was most likely not Uncle Dou, he still decided to start with him! There was no other reason, he just didn't like the existence of people who were more arrogant than him.
"Call up 300 people and follow me. The remaining people will protect my wife. Let's go!"
Li Mu gave the order, and Su Dingfang was quickly ready. The three hundred guards who had gone through the Battle of Gaochang all had a few lives in their hands. They stood there with a chilling air. They were definitely not those who had never been on the battlefield.
Humans can compare.
"Please give me your instructions!"
"Target: Dou Mansion in Qinghuafang, let's go!"
All the soldiers: "No!"
Three hundred people, neither too many nor too few, blocked the street in a huge way. Someone had already reported it to the government. When the Luoyang County Magistrate heard the news, he hurriedly brought his officers over to ask. In fact, there was no need to ask, he also
He knew who the troublemaker was. But he didn't pay too much attention. This time he got a report from Di, saying that the emperor had appointed a Luoyang magistrate to take charge of Luoyang's affairs. But he didn't receive a document to remove him as Luoyang magistrate.
, he himself has not figured out how to calculate the Luoyang magistrate and the Luoyang county magistrate.
He was a direct descendant of the Fan Yang Lu family, and he was not the same as Li Mu. Moreover, since he had never seen Li Mu's power with his own eyes, he was naturally hostile to him and did not have much respect for him.
Originally, he thought that if Li Mu was more honest, there would be no need for him to take the initiative to offend Li Mu. But since Li Mu was dishonest and took the initiative to stir up trouble, he had to fulfill his duties as the county magistrate of Luoyang City, so that even if he brought trouble in front of the emperor, he would not hesitate to do so.
I can't tell him what his fault is. Even if he can't defeat Li Mu and is dismissed from office, his reputation among the clans will rise in the future, and the benefits he will bring will be much better than those of a county magistrate.
"Who are you, how dare you—" The Luoyang County Magistrate tried hard and pointed at Li Mu's nose, trying to make a righteous speech.
"Er?" Li Mu frowned when he heard the word "Er" on his horse. When he was in Chang'an, he had never heard the word "Er" when he faced big bosses from three provinces and six ministries. A small county magistrate.
, actually called him 'er', he suddenly wanted to laugh, how did this county magistrate become the county magistrate? Has he never heard of his own reputation? Or is he so stupid that he thinks he can stand up and fight? Could it be that he ate someone?
Shit, your brain has been destroyed?
Canglang!
Shang Fang's sword was unsheathed, but with a flash of silver light, Li Mu put the sword back again. He was just a small county magistrate, and it was a bit unworthy to use Shang Fang's sword.
"Su Lie."
"The end is here!"
"Drag him down and beat him!"
"What did you say? How dare you beat the imperial official? Do you know who I am? I am -" the county magistrate yelled while pulling his neck, but what he received in response were the casserole-sized fists of the captains. Several of the officers he led,
They were subdued with almost no resistance. Su Dingfang left twenty people to wait on them, and the large group of people still followed Li Mu and killed them towards Qinghuafang.
…
Li Mu's every move was watched by interested people before he entered Luoyang City. After he came out of the inn, someone would report him every few dozen meters he walked. These people belonged to different forces, but they had the same goal.
That would make it impossible for Li Mu to gain a foothold in Luoyang City.
Li Mu guessed wrong. His opponent was not one person or a force, but all the forces in Luoyang City. None of them wanted Li Mu to get involved in Luoyang City. Luoyang City was a cake that had already been divided, and the interests of all walks of life had long been divided.
If Li Mu wants to belong to Luoyang City, every bite he eats must come from other people's mouths.
No one wanted to do it, so they united as never before.
In a seemingly ordinary tea shop, there are a group of big guys who can make Luoyang City tremble with just a move of their fingers. When Li Mu heard the informant came to report, he actually met the county magistrate. Before the county magistrate could finish speaking,
He ordered his men to beat him, and he was speechless for a while.
Although they may not take the Luoyang County Magistrate seriously, on the surface, the Luoyang County Magistrate is from the Fan Yanglu family, and the Fan Yanglu family has great influence in Luoyang City and is a serious court official. They will not let him go.
In his eyes, he wouldn't even think about touching him, but Li Mu didn't pay attention to these things at all. He was really as arrogant as the rumors.
Someone asked: "Where is he going?"
"Looking in the direction, it seems to be Qinghuafang."
"Qinghuafang?" Everyone laughed. Qinghuafang, there is a demon king living there. No matter how good you are, Li Mu, do you still dare to offend the emperor's uncle? There is a way to heaven if you don't take it, there is no way to hell.
You voted on your own.
Not only that, this is Luoyang City. Did you beat the Luoyang County Magistrate, or someone from the Lu family, just forget it? Will that woman from the Lu family let you go?
As soon as Li Mu arrived, he provoked the two major forces that should not be provoked in Luoyang City. What else could he do? Everyone cheered and forgot about the sense of crisis caused by Li Mu's arrival. It was time to drink tea.
Tea, it’s time to chat, there is nothing to do now, just wait. When there is news that Li Mu was disgraced by Uncle Dou Guo, everyone can go back to their homes and find their mothers.
A pot of tea had just been replaced with water, when suddenly an informant ran over in a hurry, out of breath: "Masters, it's bad - that guy Li Mu, he, he tied up Uncle Dou Guo!"
"What!??"
…
A pot of tea time ago.
Li Mu led people through the market in a swagger, and someone had already reported it to Uncle Dou Guo.
Uncle Dou Guo's name is Dou Ren, and he is a standard congenital dandy. The so-called congenital dandy is the difference from the acquired dandy. He is not like a dandy like Li Siwen. He became a dandy because of neglect or improper discipline.
. Before his hair even grew, he had already lived a dandy life. The word dandy permeated every aspect of his life and was reflected in everything.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are even more luxurious.
He claims to have never worn washed clothes, and can only wear clothes from the inside out once. Because he has severe mysophobia, he will feel dirty the second time. If he accidentally wears it, he will feel uncomfortable for dozens of times.
sky.
In terms of food, it was even more outrageous. He had eaten all the delicious things. There was nothing new and he started to go to strange places. For example, one time, he wanted to eat wild geese, so he issued a reward.
Someone went hunting geese, but when the geese came back, he only ate the tip of the left wing of the geese and threw away the rest. He wasted hundreds of dollars and didn't care at all, but there were beggars on the roadside.
Poor man, he never looks at it.
In terms of accommodation, the Dou Mansion where he lives occupies most of Qinghuafang. The standards and standards are far beyond what he should be, but he doesn't care at all. He shows off to everyone, saying that as the emperor's uncle, this kind of pomp and circumstance is still required.
Yes, he is not afraid of impeachment by the censor. Even if he is impeached, his nephew will not argue with him because of this matter.
In terms of his work, he is even more eye-catching. Others travel in carriages and horses, or on foot. The grooms are gentlemen, and men carry the foot. But he is different. He does not ride in a carriage or ride on foot.
His means of transportation was a strong woman. Two women, who looked like aliens, carried him on their shoulders and traveled around. When they dismounted, they had to step on the beauty's back. Their feet must not touch the ground, otherwise dust will stick to the soles of their shoes.
, he won’t be able to bear it either.
Just such a person was tied up like a rice dumpling and hung upside down from the beam. There was a pot of dog excrement on the ground, only a foot away from the tip of his nose. The aroma of dog excrement filled the air.
None of it was wasted, it was all breathed into his lungs.
"Li Mu, I will kill you! Do you know who I am?"
"I know, your majesty's uncle." Li Mu patted his face with the scabbard of Shang Fang's sword and chuckled, "I just don't know if your majesty's uncle's neck can withstand Shang Fang's sword?"
"You dare to kill me?"
"That's not necessarily true." Li Mu said half truthfully: "I came here from Chang'an holding my breath, and the evil fire in my belly had nowhere to go. Maybe I'll cause you some trouble. You said I would kill you
If I am chopped off, will Your Majesty kill me to avenge you?"
"I am His Majesty's biological uncle. What do you think Your Majesty will do?"
"Ah!" Li Mu suddenly realized, he was very frightened and said: "Yes, your Majesty will definitely kill me to avenge you -" Li Mu smiled again and said: "It's just that you may not have the chance to see that time
, because you are already dead——"
"You!" Dou Ren blushed and thought to himself, isn't this a lunatic? He clearly knows that if he kills me, he will die, but he is not afraid at all? Could it be that his emperor's nephew is killing him?
Are you crazy about being stimulated? You lead people into the house and tie yourself up. Do you want to seek death and have someone on your back before you die?
Thinking about what Li Mu said, Dou Ren was indeed afraid. His life was too comfortable, and he couldn't bear to die. As Li Mu said, even if the emperor killed Li Mu in the end, he would have died long ago. People cannot be resurrected after death.
If he died, wouldn't this big house and the hundreds of maidservants in it have all taken advantage of others?
Dou Ren is not a fool. After a brief moment of fear, he figured out Li Mu's intention. If he really wanted to die, he would not have spoken like this. He spoke like this to have something to talk about. Dou Ren remembered that someone had spoken a few days ago.
The incident I mentioned made me understand something more clearly, and at the same time I felt that I had been wronged. Although he lived a more extravagant life, his main source of income was the land given by the royal family and some shops in which he had shares. To put it bluntly, he
There is nothing illegal about his income. His status is there, and he doesn’t need to please anyone. The money comes from relatively clean sources.
Therefore, he really did not participate in the matter of besieging Li Mu. To be precise, he did not take Li Mu seriously at all. Even though Li Mu was a member of the royal family, he was far below him in seniority. He was a standard dude.
He was focused on how to please himself, and he didn't really care about intrigues.
Seeing Li Mu charging at him fiercely, how could Dou Ren not feel aggrieved? He was a person who had never been wronged before. He felt aggrieved suddenly and couldn't bear it. The man in his thirties actually burst into tears.
: "Li Mu, there is a wrongdoer and a debtor. What does your matter have to do with me? You can't find it on me. You didn't care about everything, brought people into my house and tied me up.
Smell, smell this vulgar smell, you are too bullying, I will tell your majesty that I want to interfere with you!"
"Meet me?" Li Mu sneered nervously and said: "You meddle with me? Do you think I will be afraid of you meddling with me? To tell you the truth, when I was in Chang'an, was there a day when no one wanted to meddle with me? Before I came to Luoyang, meddle with me
There are still six large boxes of memorials that Your Majesty has not read yet. If you use them to light the fire, you can survive the winter. Am I afraid that you will interfere with me?"
"But it really has nothing to do with me!" Dou Ren was about to cry. He used to think that he was a bastard enough, so why did he become an even more bastard? This was simply out of control!
"You've got it right!" Li Mu knelt down and looked at Dou Ren. He also smelled a bit of dog shit, which was not very pleasant. He stood up again and said, "I have the same idea as you."
It doesn’t matter, it’s important whether I’m happy or not. When I come to Luoyang City, I’m not happy, I’m in a bad mood, and none of you, the respectable people, can escape!”
