"I've seen Master Hou!"

"Hou Ye is healthy!"

Jianghu people don't say anything auspicious, but that's not forced to do it, at this time in the face of unknown possibilities, all the big guys with a full face have learned auspicious words.

Li Mu got off the horse, Bai Hao'er hurriedly greeted him, and when outsiders were present, Li Mu had always been respectful to Bai Hao'er. In the social environment of the Tang Dynasty, he can only be like this, this is an era of advocating filial piety and benevolence, no matter what reason he has, Bai Haoer is his father-in-law after all, if he is disrespectful, he will be criticized.

Li Mu asked Bai Chao'er to sit down, and motioned for everyone to sit down, for today's 'grand event', Bai Chao'er got dozens of benches from nowhere, but he didn't have to worry about not being able to sit down.

Li Mu didn't sit, but stood beside Bai Chao'er, which made Bai Chao'er very uncomfortable.

"I have summoned you today to inform you of a few things."

Everyone's ears suddenly pricked up, and some slightly smart people noticed Li Mu's words, what he said was a notice, not a discussion. The people present are at least the bigwigs of the square, how can they not understand the meaning of the word difference? It seems that today's Zhuluhou is setting up a Hongmen banquet, and he didn't think about discussing it with anyone at all.

"The neighborhood of Chang'an City is too chaotic now." Li Mu waved his hand in disappointment and said, "It's so messy." For example, a few days ago, when the urban management brigade under the Jinyi Wei of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was cleaning up the occupation of the road, there were Diao people who confronted it! ”

Hearing the word 'Diaomin', many people's faces changed, and these people knew what was going on. Because the 'Chengguan Brigade' that came out of nowhere disrupted their originally peaceful 'watching the field' business, some people were not in a good mood, so they instructed their subordinates to make stumbling blocks. But they also all know that the general trend is inviolable, so they all symbolically resisted a few times, and finally they all confessed.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu actually mentioned it at the beginning.

"I'm a person, seeking truth, so I investigated casually, and the results of the investigation made me very disappointed." Li Mu waved his hand, only to hear the sound of uniform footsteps suddenly sounding around him, I don't know how many people stepped together to make such a loud sound. Everyone was frightened, got up and looked around, only to see that at some point, Jingdongji had been surrounded by the forbidden army.

Although they are all known as 'big guys', in the final analysis, they are also gangsters, who has experienced this kind of formation? No matter how calm the breath is, at this time it has also lost its soul, and some people are frightened and say, "Master Hou!" What does this mean, I haven't offended Master Hou! ”

"You know, I didn't say you offended me." The corners of Li Mu's mouth hooked up a smile, and said, "If you offend me, your life will be gone a long time ago, this is to let you remember a little longer, teach you the truth, don't be lucky, what you shouldn't do, if you do it, you will find it sooner or later." ”

The voice fell, the forbidden army was encircled, and it gradually became impassable. Several guards walked out of the queue, holding portraits in their hands, and searched among the 'big guys', found the people in the portraits, and tied their hands with their hands cut back.

Someone was about to shout, was punched, lost a few teeth, and gagged his mouth with a sackcloth.

After all the arrests, a lieutenant ran to Li Mu and said, "Master Hou, according to the people in the picture, a total of twelve have been arrested, and one is not there." ”

"Hmm." Li Mu nodded, bared his teeth and smiled, "It's very good, I sent a message to call someone over, and there are still people who dare not come, it seems that the foundation behind it is very hard." But I'm a person, I just like to be tough, captain, send a team of people over, and arrest all the people who didn't come, just say that I said, who dares to protect, is against me Li Mu, whether you have that ability, weigh it yourself! ”

The captain took the order and left, and several of the 'big guys' who were tied up were pressed to kneel on the ground, and Fang Yiai took his team members to come in from the road out of the way of the forbidden army, and took over the forbidden army that tied people up, and escorted these people.

Li Mu saw Li Chengqian at the end of the queue, still so dark and thin, but the temperament of the whole person had quietly changed. Seeing such a scene, he was no longer panicked.

"Everyone, don't panic, the people who have been arrested are all criminals, and if you haven't committed a crime, you don't have to worry." He paced to the people who were tied up, looked at them, and said to Fang Yuai, "Fang Team Zheng, Chang'an City Management Regulations, what kind of sentencing should the crimes they committed?" ”

Fang Yiai said loudly, "Back to the Hou Ye's words, these people have violated the law by picking up the people in the market and violating the law against the planning of Chang'an City. According to the management regulations, he shall be detained for half a month and fined 20 times! ”

"Detention," Li Mu asked knowingly, "What does detention mean, explain and explain." ”

"Detention, detention, detention, servitude, forced labor. Half a month of detention is 15 days of forced labor, and they must be held in prison. ”

"Oh, so is there any alternative? Look at these people, they are all heads and faces, and they are forced to work on the streets, I am afraid that they do not match their identity. ”

Fang Yiai didn't squint, and continued to reply, "Back to the Hou Ye, there is a solution to this problem in the law. Detention for less than three months is considered a misdemeanor. Minor offenders may be exempted from criminal detention with silver money instead of criminal detention, and the standard is that 10 yuan per day will be counted as long as no one pays 150 yuan for their crimes. However, if the offense is repeated within one year, the penalty for both crimes will be combined, and the detention and fine will be doubled. ”

"Is there anything else so good?" Li Mu looked down at one of them and said, "This brother, what do you think?" Are you going to detain or are you going to pay the money? ”

This person has been scared of two trembling forces, but one hundred and seventy runs, for him, is really not a small amount of money, although he has a square of land as a territory, a lot of income every year, but he also needs to take care of the up and down, there is a vote of scoundrels under his hand counting on him to eat, in fact, there are not many in the pocket, one hundred and seventy runs, it is really painful.

"If you offend Master Hou, let's admit punishment, but this one hundred and seventy is too much, Master Hou, can you be less-"

"Less?"

"Huh, less."

"Smack!" A big mouth slapped the person and spit out a mouthful of blood. Everyone was frightened, and they all staggered their gaze and did not dare to speak.

"Less? If you can't afford it, don't offend me, if you offend me, you still want to bargain? Is Lao Tzu trading with you? Li Mu took a sip and said, "I tell you, I can collect your money today, it is Ben Hou's kindness, and it is also your first offense, and the next time I commit it again, I will throw you under the Ba Bridge to feed the fish, Ben Hou will do what he says, if you don't believe it, you can try!" ”

No one dared to speak, Li Mu snorted, and continued, "This is the first thing, and the second thing is to tell you. From today on, in the market of Chang'an City, there is no more turf, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, no matter who the forces behind you are, whether it is the dragon you are coiled, the tiger you are lying down, and you are holding on to the fart, you have to listen to me, and the interests of all aspects are deployed by me. ”

Still no one spoke, at first hearing this, everyone thought that Li Mu was crazy, but thinking about it, he did have this strength. This is a character who has just promoted the New Deal, so that the five surnames and seven hopes and the hundred officials of the court can't do anything about him, just a scoundrel, who can stop him? Even if there is someone behind him, who is his opponent?

"From now on, one hundred and eight squares in Chang'an City must be uniformly dispatched, and the interests will also be divided uniformly, so as not to have internal friction."

"As you all know, I'm from the Ministry of Engineering. Ministry of Works, the yamen who built the house. Doing things is the same as building a house, and the emphasis is on high-rise buildings rising from the ground. Whether the foundation is stable or not, how to build a house is a knowledge. ”

"Most of the houses are three-bay, which means the three talents of heaven, earth and man. Two beams are added in the middle, and the front beam and rear beam are added to a total of four beams, and each beam has a column at each end. In this way, there are eight pillars, which also represent all directions. Three bays, four beams, and eight columns form the foundation of a house, which is called 'four beams and eight columns' in the jargon. ”

"In the future, the same will be true of Chang'an City. The east city and the west city were divided into half, two beams, four columns, one beam, two pillars, and were in charge of things. On top of the four beams and eight pillars, there are three talents, heaven, earth and man, who are in charge of things. Above the three talents, there is a dragon head, and everyone must serve the dragon head as the main one, and cannot be disobeyed. Those who disobey the dragon head will be punished together. ”

"Today, I am meeting with you brothers to inform you of this news. Three days later, they reconvened again to elect four beams and eight pillars. For these three days, you can communicate with each other and fight for yourselves, or you can find a way to get rid of me, so that you will be the same as before, and you will not be subject to my control. Ben Hou gave you time, but after three days, if Ben Hou is still standing here, it is imperative, and if you go against me again, it will be a dead end, and no one will be able to save you! ”

After that, Li Mu waved his hand, and the forbidden army made a way, "After speaking, let's go." ”

The big guys got up silently, there was no one to speak, they had been shocked a little stupid, and they had suddenly changed, who could stand it. After eating the rice bowl for more than ten years, it was smashed and shattered, and I couldn't pick it up, which made it acceptable!

Everyone had the heart to kill Li Mu, but helplessly, they really couldn't do it. This sense of helplessness mixed with humiliation almost made them nervously collapse, and many people walked out of Jingdong Ji, their feet were weak.

Fang Yiai escorted the people who were tied up to collect the money, and Li Mu also instructed them that the people who did not come today would be beaten up and fined twice the fine, and it would be enough to destroy their forces, there was no need to kill them all, if they had brains and accumulated money, they could still be a rich man, but if they had no brains and still wanted to resist, then they would throw them in the river to feed the fish, there was nothing to say.

Everyone dispersed, and Bai Hao'er welcomed Li Mu into the grocery store to drink tea, and Ergou also accompanied him. Bai Hao'er felt itchy in her heart, she couldn't help it, she watched Li Mu put down the teacup, rubbed her hands and asked, "Good uncle, you just said the dragon head-I don't know, do you have any arrangements?" ”

Li Mu glanced at him and deliberately said, "I said it all, of course there is." ”

"Then I-"

"Father-in-law, do you look in the mirror and feel like a dragon's head?"

"Uh," Bai Hao'er choked and muttered, "It's not like, it's not like ......"

"Why doesn't it look like it!" Li Mu suddenly smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you should be a little confident." You are my Li Mu's father-in-law, although the person is not good, but the victory is to give birth to a good daughter, it doesn't matter if you don't look like a dragon, I let you be it, but you have to remember one thing, the dragon head can be the dragon, but you can't not know how to pretend to understand, fingering, if you can do this, it doesn't matter if you let you be the leader. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bai Nao'er didn't expect such a reversal, and she was so happy that her back molars came out, "Uncle, I definitely won't talk nonsense, I will do whatever you ask me to do, I will say whatever you ask me to say, I will just be a decoration for you, and I won't say anything." ”

"Okay, that's it. White dragon head, congratulations first. ”

"Eh, thank you, uncle."

Li Mu got up, Bai Nao'er went to the door, watched him get on the horse, Wuzi still refused to go back to the house, and watched Li Mu go out of the door before reluctantly retracting his gaze.

……

Due to Li Mu's mobilization of the forbidden army, the news soon reached Li Shimin's ears. Hearing Father-in-law Gao explain the matter from beginning to end, Li Shimin frowned and said, "What is Li Mu going to do, isn't he going to take a vacation, why did he cause trouble again, this kid really can't stop." ”

Gonggong Gao noticed Li Shimin's face, although he was puzzled, he didn't move, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that the Marquis of Zhulu has a heart this time." ”

Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Speak for that kid again?" ”

"How dare the old slave, just tell the truth." Seeing that Li Shimin was not angry, Gonggong Gao became a little bolder, and continued, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten, the last time you saw the prince being embarrassed by a few people? The old slave later inquired and learned that the Diao Min couple was instructed by someone behind them. ”

"Commanding?"

"Yes." Gao Gonggong explained: "It turns out that there are unwritten rules in this market. For example, on a street, who can set up stalls where and where it seems to be chaotic, but in fact it is chaotic and orderly. If you pay the protection fee, you can do business safely, if you don't pay, they will come to make trouble, so that your business can't be done, pay more money, the location is good, pay less money, the location is not good. ”

"The urban management brigade cleared the roads, which affected the progress of many people, so they made it difficult for some people. The prince was angry with this, and just heard what Zhuluhou did today, the old slave thought, maybe Zhuluhou's move was to vent his anger for the prince. ”

"Hehe," Li Shimin snorted, "I think it's simple. ”

Gao Gonggong wondered: "Is there still a deep meaning?" ”

"Li Mu does things, which time is not counted in one fell swoop, if he is angry with the prince, he is also angry when he beats people, why bother so much?" Li Shimin said firmly, "Although I don't know what his plans are, I can be sure that he definitely has a purpose, don't worry about it for the time being, after three days, I will know." ”
