Chapter 124: Halfway to Bite Gold (1)

Cui Wensheng said the matter again, naturally he avoided the important and trivialized, Cui Yuyan's fault will definitely not be able to escape, but there are still debatable points in this, such as: the object of offense.

The "Famous Laws and Regulations" records the system of five punishments, from light to severe: flogging, rod, imprisonment, exile, death, and five punishments. Cui Yuyan molested a woman on the street, only between words, without physical contact, which is not a very serious crime. If the object is an ordinary woman from a good family, at most it is a moss punishment, whipping, and then a fine. But Bai Qiaoqiao is a fateful woman, and she should be sentenced heavily, punished by war, and fined, which does not involve 'imprisonment, exile, and death'.

Li Mu, as a county marquis, stood up for his wife and hung Cui Yuyan to beat him, which was already regarded as a 'moss punishment', and it was lynching, which was unruly according to the law. If Cui Yuyan is beaten to death because of this, Li Mu will be punished, although not to death, but at least he will be sentenced to 'exile', which is why Cui Wensheng is not worried that Li Mu will kill Cui Yuyan.

But if the object of Cui Yuyan's flirtation is Li Zhien, the situation will be reversed. Li Zhien is a subordinate, a slave, and a lowly person. According to the Tang law, slaves of lowly status are equivalent to livestock. Even if Cui Yuyan is flirtatious, or even indecent, he only needs to lose money. There is no torture involved, so it is his fault that Li Mu whipped Cui Yuyan and injured him. Cui Wensheng can countersue based on this, and Li Mu got into trouble.

Cui Wensheng came to the eldest grandson Wuji to get his support. He knew about Li Mu's assignment of craftsmen a few days ago, and thought that the eldest grandson Wuji had a grudge against Li Mu in his heart. If the eldest grandson Wuji can help, even if Li Mu stirs up the anger of the people, he will definitely be defeated in the end. With the power of the eldest grandson Wuji in the court, there is no need to say anything, with a slight hint, the officials of Dali Temple naturally know what to do when dealing with things.

In Cui Wensheng's mouth, the object of Cui Yuyan's flirtation is Li Zhien, not Li Mu's wife Bai Qiaoqiao. He hit the idea of beating a rake, wanting to use the power of the eldest grandson Wuji to teach Li Mu a lesson. But what he expected didn't happen, and after the eldest grandson Wuji heard it, he just raised his eyelids slightly, and said, "The old man guessed that Zhuluhou would definitely not beat your nephew for no reason." This matter, which is right and wrong, or let Dali Temple decide, the old man can't help anything, you go down! ”

Cui Wensheng was dumbfounded, and wanted to speak, but was intimidated by the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, and did not dare to speak. Turning around and walking out of the official office, my heart became uneasy. He originally thought that the eldest grandson Wuji would definitely help, but now it seems that the eldest grandson Wuji seems to be afraid of Li Mu.

It's impossible, it doesn't make sense! Cui Wensheng was puzzled, and suddenly, a person appeared in his mind, and he was so frightened that he was drenched in cold sweat.

The person in this world who can make the eldest grandson Wuji dare not provoke can only be the person that the emperor wants to protect. Li Mu has been in the ascendancy of the Holy Grace in recent days, could it be that many of the incidents that have happened to him in the past few days are actually at the instigation of His Majesty?

Is Your Majesty going to attack the Gate Valve Family?

The smarter a person is, the more things he thinks about in his head, and the more associations he makes. After Cui Wensheng's shadow of Li Shimin appeared in his head, he fell into a dead loop, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed correctly.

Now Cui Yuyan has become a bait in a trap in his heart. If he went to save Cui Yuyan, he would step into Li Shimin's trap, and he couldn't think about what the consequences would be. Although Cui Yuyan is important, he is just one person, and in the game between the gate valve family and the imperial power, it seems insignificant.

Cui Wensheng really didn't know what to do, he hesitated for a while, he still got into the carriage, and planned to go to the scene to see the situation and find out what Li Mu thought. I didn't dare to fight him, for the sake of now, I could only try to meet Li Mu's requirements and see if I could replace Cui Yuyan's life.

The eldest grandson Wuji came to the window and watched Cui Wensheng go away, a sneer appeared on his face. Originally, he still thought that Cui Wensheng was a talent, but today's incident made his opinion of Cui Wensheng plummet. Cui Wensheng actually thought of his bearing as a small person in the market. thought that he would be resentful because of a little conflict with Li Mu, and he wanted to use this to pull him into the water and deal with Li Mu together.

Regardless of his bearing, Cui Wensheng didn't want to think about it, the Boling Cui family was a member of the Shandong Shi family, and the eldest grandson Wuji was a military aristocrat in Guanlong, and the two factions were constantly fighting, how could the eldest grandson Wuji take action to help the opponent.

Besides, no one knows Li Shimin's jealousy of the Shandong Shi clan better than the eldest grandson Wuji, and he can't find an opportunity to suppress it, and finally an opportunity comes, he will be stupid enough to go against Li Shimin's wishes and help the Shandong Shi clan?

The eldest grandson Wuji was able to do not help each other, all because of his jealousy of Li Mu, otherwise he would have changed someone, and at this time he had already gone to see Li Shimin and fell into the ground.

Li Mu ran out of the crowd and joined Wang Hu and others, waiting for someone from the Cui family. But waiting left and right, no one came, seeing that the sun was setting, Li Mu was a little anxious. Cui Yuyan is now hanging on the door of the fang, with more air out and less air intake, if he really dies, it will be a troublesome matter. If he dies, the fault will be on him, and if he dies, the fault will be on himself, and it will be difficult to do it then.

Just when Li Mu was thinking about whether to find a step and put Cui Yuyan down first, Cui Wensheng arrived. With Wang Zhongyuan's experience, Cui Wensheng did not come over to talk to Li Mu face-to-face, but asked the family to pass the word and ask Li Mu how this matter could be concluded.

Li Mu waited for this, in fact, today's matter, Bai Qiaoqiao was not offended at all, Cui Yuyan came to Li Zhien, and after two teases, the two sides fought, and suffered a lot of punches and kicks, which was really unlucky. Li Mu made such a big fuss, first, he wanted to be powerful, second, he also saw that Cui Yuyan was not pleasing to the eye, and third, he fell in love with the Cui family's shop. He had long wanted to have a shop in Dongshi, but he was too expensive to give up, and someone sent him to the door today, and he felt sorry for such a big momentum.

At the moment, Li Mu was not polite, anyway, it was a rumor, even if Cui Wensheng wanted to beat him up, he could not admit it, it didn't matter. Li Mu put out the conditions, one, Cui Yuyan can be released, but Cui Wensheng must admit that the discipline is not strict, come to the door to apologize, and then drive Cui Yuyan back to Boling, and must not appear in Chang'an City again. Second, it is the matter of the store, the deed is taken, and the matter is closed, otherwise I will see you in Dali Temple. Li Mu is confident that he will seize the two points of Chang'an County's dispatch of officials to arrest people across the border, as well as the misconduct of the children of the gate valve family, which is enough for Wang Zhongyuan and Cui Wensheng to drink a pot, and he is not afraid that he will not agree.

Sure enough, Cui Wensheng didn't even bargain, and agreed to it.

But no one expected that just when the transaction was about to be concluded, it would be a halfway way to bite the gold!
