Sun Bohu bribed him with a lot of money, gave him an assistant, and gave him Jin Toad Frost and Dinghai Needle, oh, it was the hollow steel needle. Ni Ren couldn't get close to Xianggong, so he tricked Zhu Wan'er into his internal response. But his heat is still a little worse in the end, and Master Zhu can see through it at a glance, you don't need to doubt Master Zhu's loyalty. Xianggong decided to make a plan, find out Sun Bohu, and then follow the vine to find melons and catch all the shrimp soldiers and crabs lurking in Yunzhou. But I still underestimated their shamelessness, and when I saw the defeat, I actually beat a rake and swept Master Zhu into it. ”

Li Mao said: "Master Zhu is also involved in this matter? ”

Gao Mu said: "The bad is only bad in one sentence, when he persuaded Zhu Wan'er to leave that day, he said, 'Go out early, today is different from usual'." He knew our plan and said it in a hurry. Ni Ren confessed that Miss Wan'er was his comrade, and those people grabbed this and slandered that Master Zhu was reporting for her, and Master Zhu was difficult to distinguish. ”

Li Mao felt a chill down his spine, Zhu San just said an ambiguous word, as long as Gao Muken proved it for him, at most it was just an unintentional mistake, and he would never lose his life. Who are the "people" Gao Mu said that made Li Shigu so jealous? Don't even care about the loyal home chef who has followed him for decades?

"Master Zhu can't escape death, no one can save him, and he himself has accepted his fate. If you can't be separated from Zhu Wan'er, you will be their accomplice, and this alone is enough to kill you. Where to go, you weigh it yourself. ”

Li Mao said: "How do you want me to cut her, I just met her." ”

Gao Mu said: "It's simple, you go and kill her." ”

As soon as the words came out, the guards standing behind Li Mao took a step forward at the same time, the blade was unsheathed, and there was a choking sound, as long as Li Mao said the word "no" at this moment, it would be a different end.

After a moment of silence, Li Mao said: "She is the person next to her wife, who is young and ignorant and is being taken advantage of. Since Master Zhu will definitely die, why not let him carry all his sins and let her go. ”

Gao Mu asked sharply, "Do you have a crush on her?" ”

Li Mao said: "Yes." ”

Gao Mu touched a few rat whiskers on his chin, squinted and laughed, and said, "Naturally, there are workarounds. He instructed left and right: "Follow Li Zhiya to arrest the thief Zhu San, there must be no mistake." The crowd agreed.

According to Gao Mu, Zhu San is an important part of the bureau he set up, so he is also very deep, after the assassination of Xiaosonglin, Zhu San's life and death are only in a thought, which Zhu San knows, when Li Mao led people to break into Zhu San's mansion, the forward sergeant has taken down all the Zhu family, the slave and maid kneel in the front yard, the family kneels in the backyard, Zhu San is the only one who remains in his own study, there are six guards in prison outside the door, Zhu San's knife is very good, but it is only used to cut vegetables, he is not good at killing, there are enough these six guards.

When Li Mao entered the door, he was looking down and wiping an old silver soup spoon. Li Mao stood in front of the bookcase with a knife and signaled to retreat left and right, but the guards ignored it. Zhu San said in a sullen voice: "Li Zhiya's martial arts are the best, I can't run away with him." When the guard heard this, he withdrew. Li Mao sat down in front of the bookcase, and in front of him was an old wooden box, with a few mold spots growing on the yellowed and brittle linen lining. After wiping the silver spoon in his hand, Zhu San carefully placed it with a willow leaf-shaped bone-dissolving knife in the box, and then he picked up a copper-handled long spoon, and said to Li Mao like an old friend chatting while wiping:

"People must keep their duties, I have been very observant of my duties all my life, but when I am old and old, I am confused, and I will end up with a broken body and a broken reputation, and my family will be affected, why do you say I am suffering."

Li Mao said: "Do you have any grievances to present to Jie Shuai." Zhu San smiled and didn't answer. The two guards walked in from outside with iron shackles, and deliberately shook the shackles, and Li Mao glared at the guard.

The guards had no intention of retreating, Zhu San sighed, lowered his head and said, "The guards are here for official business, so there is no need to be embarrassed." I have lived so long, although I have not done a decent thing, but I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and I do not lose. The only regret I did in this life was that I couldn't make Wan'er a concubine for you. If this had been done, she might have been spared the calamity. This is his honest words, if Zhu Wan'er was matched with Li Mao as a concubine a month ago, Ni Ren would have no chance, and he would not have to be used by Gao Mu because of his niece, and finally end up with a broken reputation.

Li Mao was very surprised when he heard it, and he wanted to ask what was going on, but he was stared at by the guards behind him, and after a moment of silence, he asked again: "Do you have any last words?" ”

Zhu San shook his head, put the shiny long-handled copper spoon into the wooden box with a beautiful lining and serious wear on the outside, he carefully sealed the box, held it up and solemnly handed it to Li Mao, and said: "This is what my master taught me, please transfer it to Wan'er, no one among my disciples can receive my mantle, and this craft will be inherited by her in the future." ”

Li Mao said: "I will transfer it to her, so that this craft will not be lost." ”

After Zhu San finished speaking, he said to the shackled guard, "Let me change my clothes." ”

Before long, he changed into a very decent new clothes, his hair was meticulously combed, and he used a precious ivory hairpin. The guards locked his hands and carried him away calmly. Li Mao searched Zhu San's study, and found a bowl of yellow soup with a wisp of heat floating on the bookcase in the inner dressing room. Zhu San was originally going to commit suicide, but after getting Li Mao's promise to Zhu Wan'er, he gave up.

When he went out, a guard stared at the wooden box in Li Mao's hand, Li Mao had to open the lid of the box and hand it to them for inspection, at that moment his heart was full of humiliation, resentment and depression with nowhere to vent.

Stepping out of the Zhu family's inner house, one of the guards accompanying him asked Li Mao what to do with his family, Li Mao was angry in his heart, and he wanted to say, "How to deal with it, do you need to ask me this puppet?" When the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help it, anyone would complain, and complaining like this would only prove his naivety. He adjusted his emotions for a moment, and his eyes swept over the faces of the guards in turn, only to find that they all had serious expressions, and they all puffed up their chests unconsciously under his gaze.

It's just that just now they dared to openly confront themselves, and after a while, they were so obedient to themselves, it was Zhu San who prompted this change, and Zhu San was a touchstone to test Li Mao's loyalty. Li Mao's loyalty to Li Shigu has already been verified in Xiaosonglin, and now it is to prove it to anyone, it can only be Gao Mu!

Li Mao believed that as long as he said kill, they would not hesitate to kill all the people in the courtyard. On the other hand, if he says to let him go, the guards will immediately let him go. This is the power in his hands, the power that has just been gained, which has been tested. After a month of leisure, Li Mao once again tasted the sweetness of holding power.

"Put people on death row, and wait for them to happen."

These ten words spit out, Li Mao suddenly had a feeling of rebirth, it has been some years since he traveled to this era, and on the whole, he is a good mix, but no matter how big the official is, his own fate is not controlled by himself, whether he is a gold catcher, a guide envoy, a military material envoy, or even a strangulation envoy in Gushan Town, the scenery on the surface cannot hide the inner bottom of being a puppet, and the power under the official can neither change the fate of others, nor can he control his own destiny. Now, while his fate is in the hands of others, he finally has the qualifications to control the fate of others.
