Fortunately, it didn't take long for the county magistrate and mine manager of Woyang County to rush over.

The mine manager, Wang He, looks about 30 years old, has dark skin, and is a good match for his current job. He personally drove a simple ox cart, without even a servant, and wore clothes made of coarse cloth, only a thin layer, covered with mud, and I don't know how much it had the effect of keeping out the cold.

Woyang County Ling was relatively young, only in his twenties, a fat man, wearing a large coat made of bear skin, and his boots were extremely clean without any mud marks.

"My subordinates have seen the general." Wang Yu and Woyang County ordered to bow their hands.

Li Mu's official position is above them, and he has been reused by King Zhao, and his achievements in the future are limitless, and they dare not snub Li Mu.

"It seems that the Woyang County Commander has just arrived from home?" Li Mu looked at the Woyang County Order and said in a surging voice.

"Yes." Woyang County Ling nodded.

"The king has an order, all the officials in Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Dai are all on the front line for disaster relief, especially the county order, the county lieutenant and the county cheng, has the Woyang County order not received the order?" Li Mu sneered.

Woyang County Ling was stunned for a moment, and then he arched his hand and said, "General Yu, my subordinates have arranged for housekeepers to bring supplies to various places for disaster relief a few days ago. It's just that his subordinates are relatively weak and not suitable for traveling, so they stay at home."

"Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, I will send someone to verify it. Let's talk about another thing." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I received a report from the leader of Tiege, saying that the two of you forced him to give you a gift of 20,000 yuan before allowing him to lead his clan to dig coal, but is there such a thing?"

Tiege was stunned, when did he report it? I reported it when I had a hole in my head.

But he didn't dare to refute, so he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his mouth, with an extremely ugly smile on his face, and nodded with difficulty: "I reported it."

When the Woyang County Commander heard this, he was suddenly a little in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do.

Wang Yu said calmly, "General, my subordinates did receive 20,000 yuan from the leader of Tiege, but it has nothing to do with this matter."

"Oh?" Li Mu wanted to see how Wang Yu could make it up.

"The 20,000 yuan is for the chief of Tiege to compensate his subordinates. A few days ago, his subordinates bought a cow from the leader of Tiege. As a result, he died violently the next day. According to the agreement, the leader of Tiege needs to make ten times the compensation, this cow was bought by his subordinates for 4,000 yuan, and ten times is 40,000 yuan, but his subordinates are familiar with the leader of Tiege, so they only received 20,000 yuan. I didn't expect him to hit a rake." Wang Yu pointed at Tiege and said angrily.

"This is impossible, how could the old man make such an agreement, even if he really died violently, just return the money, and it will never be possible to compensate ten times." Tiege said loudly.

Li Mu stopped the two from arguing and continued to ask, "Do you have a transaction certificate?"

The so-called transaction voucher is a small wooden strip with the time, place, buyer and seller, and witnesses written on it, in duplicate.

Although paper had been invented, in order to maintain the price of paper and limit the amount of paper purchased by various countries, paper was not widely used in other places except for academies and royal palaces.

"Subordinates can go back and get it." Wang Yu said.

He was sure that as long as he went back, he would be able to forge the voucher.

Li Mu was just about to open his mouth and ask him to send someone back, but suddenly found that this guy came alone, and immediately frowned.

"It's a long way back and forth, so you don't have to trouble the mine manager to run around personally, you tell Ben where to put the voucher, and Ben will send someone to pick it up." Li Mu said.

"At that time, my subordinates just let it go, and I am afraid that I will have to rummage through it when I go back, and if the general sends someone over, I am afraid that I will not find it." Wang Yu said.

Li Mu can see that although this Wang Yu is only a young man, but the old woman is cunning, and there is no truth in her mouth, such a person is more difficult to deal with than the Woyang County Order.

It seems that you can only start with this county order, Li Mu looked at the Woyang County Order, "Did the Woyang County Order also buy cattle from the Tiege Chief?"

"This...... Naturally...... Nope." In the face of Li Mu's questioning, in the depths of winter, dense beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of Woyang County Ling.

"And what's the deal with the 20,000 dollars? Other than that

I've also heard that mining coal in a mine requires the consent of the prefectural ordinance, so I wonder if that's the case?" Li Mu asked again.

"General, there is no such thing." Wang Yu said resolutely.

He knew very well in his heart that they had official positions, and they had no affiliation with Li Mu, so Li Mu could only call them over for questioning at most, and it was impossible to detain them.

As long as it is delayed until dark, Li Mu will put them back, and everything can be handled cleanly, leaving no handles.

"Never." Woyang County Ling also said.

"But I heard the chief say that he went to you several times for coal mining, and you didn't see you? Why?" Li Mu pointed to the felt wood and asked.

The Woyang County Commander wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, did he want to say that he had explained the door, and anyone who came empty-handed would not be accepted?

"General Yu, Woyang County Commander is very busy every day, isn't it normal that he doesn't have time to summon him? No one wants to meet with the prefectural magistrate, and the prefectural magistrate must meet with him." Wang Yu said.

"Did Ben ask you?" Li Mu said sharply, and an astonishing momentum rushed out of his body, frightening Woyang County Ling to take a few steps back, his face turned pale, and his whole body trembled.

Wang Yu also lowered his head, struggling to resist Li Mu's momentum.

"Don't you think Ben won't dare to kill you?" Li Mu pulled out his spear, and pointed the tip of the spear at Wang Yu, as long as he advanced one more inch, a blood flower would rise.

"General, no." His subordinates hurriedly stopped.

Wang Yu smiled, he expected that Li Mu would not dare to kill him.

"A year ago, you were a dead corpse now." Li Mu said in a deep voice.

"Then my subordinates, thank you for the general's grace not to kill." Wang Yu said indifferently.

"Take it down." Li Mu waved his hand and said.

"Although his subordinates are mine chiefs, they are also 400 stone officials, and even generals have no right to detain their subordinates." Wang Yu said.

"I'm going to just leave the two of you here for a cup of tea, and I'll send them back before dark." Li Mu said coldly.

"Then the subordinate will wait for the general." Wang Yu arched his hand and walked inside with the frightened Woyang County Order.

"Can't you make a difference?" In the tent, Wang Yu looked at Woyang County Ling speechlessly, this courage is too small, but as long as the other party cooperates, he will be able to get Li Muhu over today.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's father was ......

"General, you don't have to offend them for us." Felt whispered, his voice a little choked.

"Don't you want to avenge your dead people?" Li Mu said.

"Yes, but...... Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and officials have protected each other...... I'm not talking about generals, generals are naturally good officials. I mean......"

"I see what you mean." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, just the two of them won't affect me."

In winter, the sun sets early, and just after the hour of Shen, the sky is covered with a layer of twilight.

"General Li Mu, can you let us go back?" Wang Yu asked loudly.

"Wait." Li Mu said.

"Then the subordinate will accompany the general and wait." Wang Yu said.

"Da-da-da!"

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves not far away, and a chariot rushed towards the tribe at great speed.

Just as they were about to reach the gate of the tribe, the chariot suddenly stopped in a dashing drift, and a tall man in a Confucian robe jumped from the chariot.

Li Mu hurriedly greeted him, leaned over and saluted, "Meet Shangqing."

"General Lee, please." Kong Bin helped Li Mu up, "This official came non-stop after receiving the general's letter, I don't know what the general is about?"

Li Mu told the previous story.

When Wang Yu and Woyang County Ling saw Kong Bin, their faces immediately changed. Unlike Li Mu, Kong Bin, as the envoy of King Zhao, can not only imprison them, but even cut them first.

"What did you just say about the name of this Woyang County Order?" Kong Bin asked suddenly.

"Zhao Tang." Li Mu said,

"What's the problem?"

"Zhao Tang?" Kong Bin was a little puzzled, and always felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but there were so many surnames in Zhao Guo, he couldn't remember it for a while, "Leave it to me first, and I will report it to the king."
