Li Mu looked at the extremely nervous look of the Yangqiu County Magistrate and comforted him: "My lord, don't be nervous. We arrested the wrong person. Just let him go. Relax a little. It'll be fine..."
"Yes, yes..." Yangqiu County Magistrate said yes again and again, bowed to the two female ghosts who had been released, and said: "The county government did not investigate clearly and arrested the wrong two people. I am here."
I apologize to the two girls here..."
When had the two female ghosts, one large and one small, ever seen such a battle? They were so nervous that they couldn't even speak.
Li Mu bowed his hands to the Yangqiu County Magistrate and said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, can I leave with my two friends?"
The Yangqiu County Magistrate immediately extended his hand: "Master Li, please."
When he walked out of the prison, he asked tentatively: "Master Li, you didn't blame the subordinate, did you?"
Li Muxiao asked: "Do I seem to be such a stingy person?"
The Yangqiu County Magistrate's expression changed and he immediately said: "This is not what I meant. Please forgive me, Mr. Li..."
"Just kidding." Li Mu smiled and said, "Yangqiu County is my hometown. I will come back to visit from time to time. The county magistrate is the parent official here. You must govern Yangqiu County well..."
The Yangqiu County Magistrate assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will do my best."
Li Mu looked at Zhou Captou and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Zhou Captou."
Zhou Captou immediately said: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Li Mu smiled at him and said: "I have something important to do when I come back this time. I must return to Shendu immediately. Next time I return to Yangqiu County, I will have a drink with you."
Zhou Captou looked moved. With his experience, how could he not understand that what Li Mu said in front of the county magistrate had a deeper meaning.
Although he still doesn't know why the county magistrate is so afraid of Li Mu, but with Li Mu's words, although he can't do whatever he wants in the county government in the future, at least the county magistrate will not dare to touch him easily.
Li Mu took two female ghosts with him, said goodbye to Zhou Captou, and left the county government office.
The Yangqiu County Magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and found that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Zhou Captou looked at him, moved his lips, and asked: "Sir, Li Mu..."
The Yangqiu County Magistrate swallowed his saliva and said, "He is actually from Yangqiu County..."
He had just arrived in Yangqiu County a few days ago, and before that, he had been working in the Ministry of Punishment.
He was very clear about every single thing Li Mu did in the city of gods.
He pointed at the doctor's nose and scolded him in the Ministry of Justice, chased and beat the powerful children on the street, and walked out of the Ministry of Justice arrogantly afterwards. These were all things he witnessed with his own eyes.
He scolded all the officials in the court and fought with the vice-chancellor of the Dongxuan Realm. In addition, he also provoked heaven's punishment and killed Zhou Chu. Afterwards, not a single person in the Zhou family farted. If such a person had a grudge against him---
---He didn't even dare to think about this possibility.
After a while, the Yangqiu County Magistrate took a deep breath, patted Mr. Zhou on the shoulder, and said: "Do a good job, I am optimistic about you..."
…
After walking out of the county government office, Li Mu turned to look at the two female ghosts and said: "Sister Su is still sleeping. It will take some time to wake up. You two, should you find a cave to practice on your own, or should you follow me and wait for her?
wake up?"
The two women said at the same time almost without thinking: "Follow you..."
They have already experienced the consequences of two lonely ghosts wandering outside.
Either they were devoured and enslaved by stronger ghosts, or they were captured and dealt with by the government. Those days in Bishui Bay were the most comfortable and peaceful days in their lives.
By following Sister Su, not only do you not have to worry about being bullied, but you can also get guidance on spiritual practice, which is something they two lonely ghosts could never ask for in their dreams.
The two female ghosts made a decision. Li Mu threw them a few pieces of spiritual jade and asked them to practice in the Hutian space and take care of the tree demon.
Then he returned home. Tonight was the last night he and Liu Hanyan spent together.
In the next two months, he will prepare for the imperial examination. He originally formulated the imperial examination policy. He knows better than anyone how to take the examination. After the imperial examination, he should be busy for some time.
In this way, the next time he returns to Beijun will be at least three months or even four months later.
This means that he can spend a good period of time with them like this. If they just meet once and have a night together, he can come back at any time as long as he asks the Queen for leave.
However, when Liu Hanyan returns to Baiyun Mountain this time, he will have to stay in seclusion for a period of time to master some of the magical powers he has just learned. It is unlikely that the two of them will see each other often.
Early the next morning, after sending her and Wanwan back to the mountain, Li Mu and Xiaobai didn't waste any time. They hurried on with high-level magical talismans and rushed back to the divine capital as quickly as possible without resting all the way. Finally, in the early morning of the third day,
Rush back.
Ziwei Palace.
Morning morning has just begun.
After Li Mu was summoned into the palace, he clasped his fists and said, "Go back to your majesty. On your majesty's order, I went to Beijun to investigate the murder of a woman from Yangqiu County by Princess Yunyang's consort Cui Ming twenty years ago.
I used the magic weapon given by Your Majesty to capture the monster and found out that he was sent by Cui Ming to find the woman's soul and kill her..."
After Li Mu finished speaking, all the ministers were shocked.
The last incident had caused Cui Ming to lose his official position. Unexpectedly, Li Mu had no intention of letting him go. It was obvious that his purpose was to want Cui Ming to die...
In order to protect himself, Prince Consort Cui did not hesitate to send monsters to assassinate Li Mu. However, he did not expect that Li Mu had a treasure given by His Majesty, and the assassination failed. Instead, he was captured by Li Mu and betrayed him...
The Minister of Civil Affairs stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is just one-sided statement made by Li Yushi. The truth has yet to be verified."
As soon as Li Mu thought about it, the tree demon bound by the five-flowered tree appeared in the palace. He said calmly: "I brought this monster here. Whether I am slandering Cui Ming or not, your Majesty will know if you search for the soul of this monster."
For officials in the DPRK and China, as long as they are not treasonous or rebellious, soul searching cannot be used.
But there is no such restriction for non-Chou courtiers, especially monsters and ghosts. If you want to find out the truth, searching for souls is the simplest and most convenient way.
Shangshu Ling stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to search for the soul of this demon."
Shangguan Li looked back and said, "Excuse me, Minister."
Although Cui Ming is from the old party and Shangshu Ling is from the new party, Shangshu Ling is from the Zhou family, and Li Mu has a life-and-death feud with the Zhou family. Now, Cui Ming has no role in the government, and there is no need for Shangshu Ling to help Li Mu.
Lie to get rid of him, and he won't side with Li Mu. It's perfect for him to come forward.
Shangshu Ling stepped forward and put his hand on the tree demon's forehead.
He closed his eyes and said slowly: "This demon is indeed Cui Ming's subordinate. Under Cui Ming's order, he went to Yangqiu County to kill him..."
After hearing this sentence, the officials already knew what was going on.
Consort Cui has already used the gold medal to avoid death once, and if this case is carried out again, it will be enough for him to lose his life.
This Li Mu really wanted to kill Cui Ming.
While the ministers were discussing in low voices, Shangshu Ling's closed eyes suddenly opened.
His face darkened and he said sternly: "Cui Ming is so brave, he actually colluded with the Demon Sect!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire palace was silent for a moment, and then a huge uproar broke out.
"What, Prince Consort Cui colluded with the Demon Sect?"
"How can this be?"
"Isn't it the Jiujiang County Sheriff who colluded with the Demon Sect? Cui Prince Consort is obviously the one who exposed..."
"Is there another secret behind the case of Jiujiang County Sheriff?"
"Could it be that Cui Ming was the one who colluded with the Demon Sect? He first colluded with the Demon Sect, and then joined forces with the Demon Sect to frame the Jiujiang County Sheriff for colluding with the Demon Sect?"
…
Shangshu Ling's words were like throwing a huge stone into a calm lake, causing huge waves.
Li Mu had a look of surprise on his face. If it was Cui Ming who colluded with the Demon Sect, then Fan Ji must have been sent by Cui Ming. If Cui Ming had colluded with the Demon Sect, he could have colluded with the Demon Sect more than ten years ago.
Zong cooperated and framed it to the Jiujiang County Sheriff, and got the opportunity for his own promotion...
And why does Mo Zong want to help Cui Ming?
Maybe Cui Ming is not colluding with the Demon Sect, but he is originally a member of the Demon Sect!
Li Mu thought of Fan Ji. What she and Cui Ming have in common is that they are both extremely handsome. Fan Ji is a member of Mei Zong. Could Cui Ming be an undercover agent of Mei Zong in the court?
Li Mu could think of this, and everyone in the court could naturally think of it too.
Shangshu Ling had finished searching for the soul of the tree demon, and said with murderous intent in his tone: "Your Majesty, I learned from this demon's memory that Cui Ming is a member of the Demon Sect and the Mei Sect, and it was also the Mei Sect that was placed in the imperial court.
An undercover agent, more than ten years ago, the case of Jiujiang County Sheriff colluding with the Demon Sect was also framed by Cui Ming and the Demon Sect..."
"That's unreasonable!"
"What a courage!"
"The Demon Sect is an undercover agent. He actually holds a high position in the imperial court and has been hiding from us for so many years..."
…
At this time, an old man stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Can you let me search the soul of this monster again to confirm?"
Shangguan Li heard the Queen's message, nodded and said: "Excuse me, please tell me."
The eyes of the officials all looked at the old man.
Zhongshu Ling is extremely senior, a veteran of the late Emperor's time. He is neither a partisan nor a clique, and is deeply loved by the people. He is also a strong man in the Sixth Realm. Both the old and new parties respect him very much.
The old man slowly stepped forward and pressed his skinny right hand on the monster's head.
After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what the Shangshu Ling said is true. Cui Ming is the protector of the Mei Sect, and the Jiujiang County Sheriff case was framed by Cui Ming and the Demon Sect..."
