The official thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and hurriedly said: "My lord, it was your friend Cui's nephew who was arrested, and besides, our people have all been beaten......"

"Idiot!" Wang Zhongyuan picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it, scolding: "You can do whatever you want, and the official will use you to remind you?" What are you doing in a daze, go! ”

"Eh, ......" The official responded twice, the first one was smashed by the inkstone, he couldn't figure it out, didn't the county magistrate order to take care of Cui Gongzi, why did he suddenly ignore it?

The officials even ran back to the scene, the confrontation between the two sides was still continuing, the whipping had stopped, because if the beating continued, there would definitely be deaths, and the dozen or so people hanging on the door of the workshop had already turned into blood gourds, and they didn't even have the strength to scream.

When the onlookers saw such a scene, they were so frightened that they closed their eyes, they didn't dare to look at it, and they were curious, so they secretly glanced at it a few times, and quickly closed it again. Even the craftsmen on Li Mu's side avoided their eyes and didn't dare to look directly. Yu Wengui originally wanted to step forward to persuade him, but when he saw such a scene, he didn't dare to speak out. Quietly retreated, he was obedient this time, he didn't go to Li Daliang to make a small report, he didn't do well last time, and he was scolded, and he has a long memory.

The official came to the front, approached the head of the official and muttered two words in his ear, and the head of the official waved his hand after hearing this, and said, "Brothers, let's go!" ”

"Stop!" Li Mu saw that people were leaving, and shouted to stop. Li Chongyi leaned over with his entourage and blocked in front of the officials. The eight officials had just been beaten by Li Chongyi alone, and when they saw that his legs and stomach were turning, they didn't dare to move. The official turned around and said, "This marquis, we don't care, can't we go?" ”

"Of course not!" Li Mu said: "You brought my wife here, and you want to leave casually?" Don't think that Ben Hou doesn't understand, Chang'an Dongcheng belongs to Wannian County, and there is something in Dongshi to take people, and it is also the official of Wannian County, you are the official of Chang'an County, across a Suzaku Street, next to you, what's the matter? Ben Hou has reason to suspect that you are complicit in these people who have offended my wife, and you are all in the same group! Want to go now? No way! ”

The head of the official couldn't help it, his blood surged, and he said, "Don't deceive people too much!" ”

"Oops! Dare to speak to Ben Hou like this, who are you, what official position, what title, who gave you the courage? ”

When the head of the official heard this, he was like a basin of cold water, and he was stunned on the spot. Seeing this, the other officials knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but Li Mu turned a deaf ear and asked Li Chongyi to bring a rope and tie up the officials. Just now he had no excuse, he just tied up Cui Yuyan and his dog's legs, and now he grabbed the handle of this official head, and he didn't escape the fate of being tied. It's just that there is no place on the door of the workshop, there is nowhere to hang, only they are tied up like slaves in the West Market, and their mouths are stuffed with rags, and they are exposed to the scorching sun.

Li Mu looked at the onlookers and said: "Go and give a message to the Chang'an County Order, let him give Ben Hou an explanation, otherwise the Marquis of Ming will enter the palace, and he will be seen in front of His Majesty to see who is unlucky in the end!" ”

There is really that good-looking and lively, hearing Li Mu's words, he turned his head and ran to the county office. At this time, Li Mu saw that the entourage he sent out came with Wang Hu, and glanced at Wang Hu, Wang Hu did not come closer, but just mixed in with his people.

Li Mu sent someone to deliver the letter, it was to leave a back hand, in case the Chang'an County Commander planned to fight hard and bring people over, there was Wang Hu with a team of Cao Guogong's personal soldiers under him, and he would definitely not be able to suffer a loss. But the Chang'an County Commander didn't bring anyone here, and he didn't want Wang Hu to get involved. When it is not necessary, he doesn't want to take Li Ji with him.

Wang Zhongyuan waited anxiously in the county office, did not wait for the official to come, waited for a person to report the news, heard Li Murang's words, Wang Zhongyuan patted his thigh, and hurriedly asked people to prepare horses, and it took less than a stick of incense to come.

He wanted to withdraw people, but he was afraid that Li Mu would come to this hand. In any case, the officials of Chang'an County crossed the border to take people from Dongshi, which is a matter that cannot be explained clearly. Li Mu wants to hold on to this, and Wang Zhongyuan can't escape from it. He thought that Li Mu had just arrived, and he didn't understand the rules in Chang'an City, so he wouldn't have thought of this, but he didn't expect Li Mu to know this rule and detain the officials, and now Wang Zhongyuan couldn't hide if he wanted to hide behind.

Wang Zhongyuan got off the horse, saluted Li Mu from a distance, and said: "The lower official Chang'an County ordered Wang Zhongyuan to be one step late, and I hope that the Hou of Zhulu will forgive me." ”

Although his official position is the same as Li Mu's, his title is lower than Li Mu's, he is just a baron, Li Mu is a marquis, two levels older than him, and there is nothing wrong with saluting first.

Li Mu raised his hand and saluted back, saying, "Of course Ben Hou can understand. As he spoke, he pointed at the officials with a bloody horsewhip and said, "Everything that happens in Dongshi has to be managed, Chang'an County is busy enough." Ben Hou will play a book tomorrow, tell Wannian County for neglecting the government, please Your Majesty reward you. ”

This is a clear threat. Wang Zhongyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, moved closer, and said, "Master Hou, can you take a step to speak?" ”

"If you don't borrow it, if you want to say it, just say it here."

Wang Zhongyuan glanced at Cui Yuyan, who looked like a blood gourd, and secretly said that this Zhulu Hou was young and black enough, and said stubbornly: "So many people are watching...... It's inconvenient, so let's borrow a step. ”

"Don't talk about it if it's inconvenient."

"This ......" Wang Zhongyuan had never seen such a faceless person, he was choked and couldn't breathe, and it took a long time before he whispered: "Master Hou, then the lower official said it truthfully." This person's name is Cui Yuyan, his uncle is a friend of Xiaguan, the nephew of Cui Wensheng in the Ministry of Officials, this kid always goes in and out of Xishi, sometimes he causes trouble, and Xiaguan takes care of his uncle's face. I may have caused trouble today, so I still wanted to come to the official for help as in the past, but I didn't expect to provoke Mrs. Zun. Master Hou, see if we can settle this matter privately, the Boling Cui clan will definitely give you an explanation. ”

"I see!" Li Mu suddenly raised eight tones and said, "Chang'an County, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known it." It turns out that this kid who offended my wife is from the Bolingcui clan! You are friends with his uncle, Cui Wensheng, Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials, so what happened to him in Dongshi, you Chang'an County sent a government official to arrest my wife without asking for a reason! Okay, what an official to protect each other! ”

"You still want to threaten me to settle the knot in private? No way! Ben Hou resolutely cannot condone this unhealthy trend! Today, fortunately, it is Ben Hou's wife, and Ben Hou stands out for her, if it is an ordinary person, wouldn't it be bullied to death by you? ”

Li Mu said, his face full of sadness, and said: "What about the surname of the high family, and what about the protection of officials and officials, this Hou is going to have you fight to the end today!" Death without regrets! ”

Although Li Mu didn't have as much voice as Li Chongyi, he shouted with his neck pulled, which was enough for all the onlookers to hear. When everyone heard that this was the case, they suddenly felt the same hatred for the enemy, and the insults were endless. Wang Zhongyuan was already stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Li Mu would make what he said public, how good is this, it has aroused the anger of the public!
