"Does it really have to be like this?"

Li Mu said worriedly.

"There are a lot of such things!" Li Gong said, "If there is unrest today, the sergeants in the army will create a mutiny to threaten the commander, and some local forces will create a popular rebellion and threaten the imperial court. There are a lot of things like that!"

Suddenly, Li Mu's body was cold, and he said in his heart: "This can't be the first year of Chongzhen!"

Of course, it may also be during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

Li Mudao: "The imperial court's control over the local area is declining?"

"That's right!" Li Gong said: "Twenty years ago, the Demon Emperor defeated many powerhouses in the imperial court, completely trampling the imperial court under his feet, and the majesty of the imperial court is constantly declining, and his control over the place is constantly declining. It's easy to say that the place close to the capital is still easy to say, but the farther away from the capital, the more the control is weakening!"

"If something like this happened twenty years ago, the powerhouses of the Six Gates and the Xuanjing Division would have come here a long time ago, killing a group, arresting a group, and winning over a group. But now, the situation has become passive!"

It's about the Demon Emperor again.

The Demon Emperor seems to be a nightmare, one person arrives at one country, and one person oppresses one country.

Li Mu said: "What is the emperor's attitude?"

Li Gong said: "The emperor said that it is necessary to do it, Jiangnan is the place where the world pays taxes, and it is time to unveil it." There is still time, and there will be no time in the future...... Time is running out!"

Time is running out!

Li Mu's heart moved, and he thought of Jiulong to win the heir.

The Nine Dragons seized the throne, on the surface, the prince competed for the crown prince and the throne, but at the deeper level, it was a factional dispute.

Behind the factional struggle is the Emperor's Balancing Technique.

Behind the balancing act was the decline of the emperor's control over the imperial court.

"What is the emperor's bottom line?" asked Li Mu.

Li Gong was silent, and after a long time: "Jinling can't be messed up!"

"......Sure enough," Li Mu said: "It seems that we are pawns, and the emperor still has a trick! It's just that it's not easy to do this, there are black hands behind the scenes, and a huge network has been compiled, involving officialdom, rivers and lakes, gangs, yamen, and the army, and the army is in it, and the whole body is affected!"

"It's not that you can't do it, but it's a rat bogey! It's important to kill a mouse, but if you damage a jade worth thousands of gold while killing a mouse, you will lose money!"

As he spoke, Li Mu looked at the two of them with a slight meaning.

Lord Hua and Little Marquis, it's time for you to make a move, if you want to be gilded, you have to pay the price. Let me be in front of the charge, and sit back and enjoy the success.

Hua Wuying coughed and said, "Retreat, what do you think?"

"Some admired them and grabbed the lifeblood of the emperor...... kidnapping the entire people of Jinling and threatening us that we have to retreat, because Jinling can't be chaotic!" Li Mu sighed and said: "After all, porcelain can't collide with tiles, it's not worth it, it's not worth it!" They want us to retreat. Then retreat!"

"A thousand miles back! See how they are?"

............

Above the restaurant, the black-clothed owner sat upstairs, drinking wine, but there was no taste.

I was thinking about it in my heart, thinking about Li Mu, Hua Wuying, and Li Gong, what were I thinking at the moment.

After arriving in Jinling, after four consecutive kills, they had the upper hand, seemingly aggressive, and seemed to be amazing, while Li Mu had lost several times in a row, and now his reputation was notorious. It seems that they won...... But the black-clothed landlord was not a little happy.

Li Mu can fail countless times, but as long as they lose once, they will never recover.

"I was able to win because I kidnapped the people of Jinling...... Li Mu threw a rat into a bogey, afraid that there would be chaos in Jinling...... But once there is chaos in Jinling, we will also be damaged!" said the black-clothed landlord: "What will they do?"

At this time, a man in black stepped forward and said, "Li Mu has backed down and wants to leave Jinling City!"

"What's going on?" asked the black-clothed landlord.

"Today, the sky has not yet opened, but there are officials dispatched, and notices are posted everywhere in the yamen. The notice said that Zheng Yong's death was committed by Fengyulou. As for Mrs. Zheng, she was also killed by Fengyulou. Any collusion with the Wind and Rain Building will be dealt with as a rebellion, and anyone who provides relevant information about the Wind and Rain Building will be severely punished!"

As he spoke, the man in black took out the notice and handed it over.

The black-clothed landlord looked at the notice without the slightest expression, "Where is Li Mu?"

"Li Mu left, and this morning, he left quietly...... Leaving towards the north, alone, it seems to be heading to Jingshi!" the man in black said, "The recent turmoil in Jinling has caused someone to be responsible after all, and someone has to bear the blame. The emperor still took Li Mu, and Li Mu became a scapegoat after all, and came to take the blame!"

As he spoke, he felt a little sad.

A clean official, everyone admires.

Even if it is a bad person, even if it is a wind and rain building, everyone is in admiration.

But now, a clean official has been stinked by their reputation, and he has left in disgrace, and he can't say how he feels.

"My lord, Li Mu made us embarrassed, so let him go like this!" asked the man in black.

"Let him go!" The black-clothed landlord said: "Li Mu is a good person and a Qing official, there are fewer and fewer such people, let's leave a little conscience for the world!"

Saying that, the black-clothed landlord was a little ashamed and a little helpless.

Once, he was also a person like Li Mu, and he also petitioned for the people, but in the passage of time, he lost his heart; now looking at Li Mu, it seems that he saw his former self, and he feels guilty and helpless.

"Yes, sir!"

The man in black vanished.

The man in black disappeared, and in another corner, another man in black appeared: "Meet the Dharma Protector!"

"The landlord is still too kind-hearted, embarrassed to kill Li Mu...... But if Li Mu doesn't die, it must be a big threat, and he must be killed!" said the protector, "What the landlord can't do, we can only do!"

"Good!" said the man in black.

"Li Mu is a genius, he is congenitally perfect, his combat power is comparable to that of a grandmaster, he once killed two grandmasters such as Flower Butterfly and Nine-Tailed Fox, and the average grandmaster is not his opponent...... Those who do it must be fast, they must fight quickly, and they must disguise themselves as bandits to rob money!" said, "There should be fewer people, and if there are more people, it will be easy to be exposed!"

"Let's do it!"

The man in black suggested.

"Okay, then let's do it with the Blood Shadow team!"

"Quick Fix!"

"Yes!"

With that, the man in black disappeared and arranged for someone to go.

"Li Mu, not only a Qing official, but also a martial arts master, is qualified to enter the supreme consummation in the future, since he can't be a friend, he can only be an enemy, then wipe it out!" The Dharma Protector said leisurely: "Such a big enemy, if you let it go, the threat is too big and too big!"

This time, Li Mu lost, not because his wisdom was inferior to others, but because he had too many scruples and threw a mouse.

If it is because of a failure, it is to despise him, and he will die a miserable death.
