In April, the spring light is shining brightly, the snow in the distance is melting, farmers are tumbling in the fields, and in the distance a group of scholars are having an outing, indescribably free and easy.
Liuli Street is a famous place for fireworks. Qin Lou and Chu Pavilions are scattered everywhere. Gorgeous decorations, exquisite buildings, wealthy people who spend a lot of money, elegant literati, gentle and amiable courtesans, etc., gather here.
Here, legends and poignant stories are being interpreted.
Mingyue Tower is a famous brothel on Liuli Street. Its elegant architecture and exquisite services have made it a place visited by countless literati.
In an attic of Mingyue Tower, Li Mu looked out the window, seeming to be reminiscing and missing.
It has been three months since he traveled to this world, but he doesn't want to travel at all.
Before time travel, Li Mu failed to start a business and lost all his 400 million yuan. He had no choice but to go home and inherit his father's tens of billions of assets.
But after a nap, when he woke up, everything around him had changed. Countless memories entered his head. He had traveled through time and became a scholar.
The most tragic thing in the world is that people die and the money is gone. No, it should be that people live and the money is gone.
My tens of billions of family assets are gone!
My three girlfriends are gone!
My parents are gone too!
At this time, a carriage stopped outside the window, and a young man slowly climbed up the stairs and entered the attic private room. "Come back, how are you doing in the Hanlin Academy recently?"
"Not good, not good at all!" Li Mu said: "General Yu wrote to Your Majesty, requesting that he be transferred from the imperial capital and go to the local area as a county magistrate to benefit the countryside!"
The young man said in astonishment: "Retreat, you are Tanhualang, you want to leave the Hanlin Academy and become a county magistrate!"
Li Mu said: "Yes!"
The young man said: "A seven-level central government is better than a local five-level. You are giving up a great future."
Li Mu said: "The capital is like a big whirlpool. Nine dragons are fighting for the throne. The princes are fighting endlessly for the throne. Officials like me have to take sides. The eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the eighth prince, etc. all woo me one after another. I have to
Take sides, but no one wants to choose!"
"You don't have to choose. If you choose neutrality, you will definitely offend everyone... Just leave the place of right and wrong!"
The young man said: "This is wrong. This is a great opportunity. If you find a wise master, when will you be able to move into the cabinet, and when will you be able to rule the world? What do we, the scholars, do when we study? Those warriors work hard to practice martial arts.
, What is it for? It’s not to learn martial arts and bring goods to the emperor’s family!”
"Master Ming?"
Li Mu smiled disdainfully: "No matter which prince becomes the emperor, he must still abide by the laws of his ancestors and abide by the court system, otherwise the throne and the country will not be guaranteed!"
It doesn’t matter who is the emperor!
In today's era, the emperor is the law, and the law of the ancestors is the constitution.
The emperor can do whatever he wants, but he cannot violate the laws of his ancestors.
Otherwise, just wait for one day, just like Emperor Zhengde fell into the water and died, or Yongzheng died suddenly, or King Zhou committed suicide after the country was overthrown.
The young man said: "Back off, you really want to do this!"
Li Mu said: "Brother Qingshan, we took the scientific examination in the same year. You were the second best and I was the third best. We fell in love with each other at first sight and we are close friends. It's a pity that everyone has his own ambitions. It's not my intention to be granted the title of marquis, but I want peace in the world in Jiuzhou! I don't want anything more.
To be famous throughout the ages, we don’t seek to leave a biography in the history books, but we only seek to be worthy of the sky, worthy of the people below, and worthy of ourselves in the middle!"
…………
In the spring, Li Mu embarked on the road south.
In the package, there are documents from the Ministry of Revenue and a message from the emperor.
Then, he rode his donkey and headed south directly.
When it was time to leave, only a few friends came to say goodbye. In their view, Li Mu gave up a great future and went directly to take a job in one place, which was simply a delay in his future.
"Back off, be careful along the way!" my friend warned.
"Don't worry!" Li Mu said, "I will pay attention!"
I waved my hand and left quietly without taking a single cloud with me.
All the way south, we followed the official road and stayed at inns or larger inns. We did not stay in small inns or eat or drink in some hotels in the wilderness. We were careful along the way.
This world is not peaceful. There are martial arts masters and hacker stacks. If you encounter a dominatrix, Sun Erniang, who is chopped into pieces and made into dumplings, it will be a big loss.
About three months later, Li Mu returned to his hometown.
"Li Langjun is back!"
"Tanhua Lang is back!"
"Wenquxing is back!"
Entering the village, the village immediately became lively, cheering, killing pigs and sheep, and celebrating Li Mu's high school success, which was more lively than the village getting married.
Li Mu is also called uncle and uncle, and they are very close.
When Li Mu was six years old, his father died of illness. At that time, the villagers took care of him, ate hundreds of meals and wore hundreds of clothes, and then he grew up to this age. The villagers were very kind to him, and they were not as vicious as the legend says.
...This also proves once again that he is not the protagonist.
It is said that the protagonists in the divorced marriage scandal, loser marriage, etc. are very miserable.
The more miserable it is, the more it is the protagonist.
If he is not miserable, he is not qualified to be the protagonist.
It is said that those who are smooth sailing, have outstanding talents, are rich and handsome, and most of them are villains.
A few days later, while offering incense and placing some melons and fruits as tribute in front of his father's grave, Li Mu came forward, kowtowed a few times, and said, "I'm leaving!"
With that said, he got on the donkey and headed northwest.
brush!
At this time, a man appeared in front of the tomb with a complicated expression: "Mu'er, have a safe journey!"
…………
A few days later, Li Mu was walking on the road. Suddenly, several people jumped out in front of him. They held long knives and said viciously: "I set up this mountain and opened this tree. I want to cross here and leave the money to buy the road."
If you refuse to say anything, you will be killed but not buried!"
I wipe it!
Li Mu was also stunned, "Dear gentlemen. I'm a scholar and I really don't have any money. I'll give this to you!"
With that said, he took out ten taels of silver and handed it over.
"Only ten taels of silver, come on!"
Immediately, several people came forward and pulled Li Mu off the donkey, rolling it up and down. There were pajamas and a sleeping bag, a few books, an earthen telescope, an iron rod, household documents, and thirty taels of silver.
"This is...a document from the Ministry of Household Affairs...you are still a seventh-grade county magistrate!"
A robber looked at the document and was surprised.
"No, this will cause big trouble!" A robber said in surprise: "I made a mistake this time. If I rob an official, I will definitely get stabbed."
"This county magistrate is so poor!" Another robber said in disbelief: "The magistrate who went to the meeting brought a dozen carriages, tens of thousands of taels of silver, and four concubines. This magistrate, a donkey,
Thirty taels of silver is too poor! He can’t be a fake county magistrate!"
"This is a document from the Ministry of Household Affairs. It can't be fake!" A robber said, "We're in big trouble!"
The five robbers looked at each other, murderous intent flashing in their eyes, and stepped forward steadily.
Officials cannot be offended and should stay away from them; but once they are offended, they must be eradicated.
Li Mu felt a chill in his heart: The trouble is big, this is the end of the world. After death, there is no possibility of going back in time.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Li Mu laughed wildly and unbridledly.
"Why are you laughing?" asked a robber.
"The imperial decree states that killing officials is tantamount to rebellion! Robbery of officials' finances will only kill a few of you; but killing officials is tantamount to rebellion, but it will kill your whole family!" Li Mu said: "I am Tan Hua Lang, appointed by the emperor himself.
The county magistrate. If you kill me, the court will not let you go. The whole family, old and young, wife, children, parents, will all die."
"This is a wilderness. We can kill people with one knife and silence them. Who knows what we can do!" said a robber.
"Evidence? Why does the court need evidence when doing business? A county magistrate was murdered by bandits on his way to office... What will happen to the court? You don't need to know which bandits are coming from, you just need to clear up all of you.
I won't let you go if I kill you by mistake!" Li Mu said: "Come on, do it! There is a god three feet above your head! I am Tanhua Lang, the reincarnation of Wenquxing... Whoever is afraid of whom, come and chop him down!"
"Cut me, and your whole family will die!"
With that said, Li Mu stepped forward and left with an awe-inspiring attitude.
He looks calm on the outside, but he is wild on the inside.
The few robbers who were originally full of murderous intent and wanted to kill people but silenced them hesitated.
Li Mu took another step forward.
The five robbers took a step back.
Li Mu took another step forward.
The robbers backed away again.
Villains are like ghosts. When you meet a villain, you must not be weak when you meet a villain. Once your momentum is weak, he will press forward; if you are strong, he will not dare to approach you.
He was just a weak scholar. If his momentum had been weak just now, the five robbers would have stepped forward and killed him. But when he was strong and threatened with the law, the five robbers would have been terrified.
"What are you doing?"
At this time, a female voice came, and then a burning flame appeared.
A female thief appeared, with a graceful figure and jade-like skin. She was wearing a white coat, clean and neat, and a fiery red cloak, like a burning flame descending here.
"Third Master!"
Several robbers came forward.
"You are out to make extra money again!" The three families asked: "Who is he?"
"I, Li Mu, nicknamed Tuizhi, was the most beautiful boy in high school not long ago. Now I am the magistrate of Yin County!" Li Mu took a step forward and asked: "The third boss, do you want to rob me of my finances, or do you want to invite me to go up the mountain and circle around?"
a while."
As he said that, he stepped forward, less than half a meter away from the beautiful Third Master.
There is a safe distance between people, such as lovers and couples, the distance is within half a meter, the distance between friends and acquaintances is between half a meter and one meter, and the distance between one meter and strangers. When a stranger breaks within half a meter of someone,
It will make people feel uncomfortable and depressed.
The Third Master was slightly startled, feeling depressed.
This scholar is just a weakling. She can knock her to the ground with one hand, but she is like a mouse meeting a cat, feeling extremely depressed.
At this moment, Li Mu took a step forward again, breaking the safe distance at close range. He could see her beautiful eyelashes, harmonious facial features, and her faint fragrance.
The Third Master subconsciously took a step to withdraw.
Li Mu smiled, this was an initial victory in psychological warfare. Don't push too hard, just enough.
Then he took a step back and entered a safe distance.
