Chapter Fifty-Eight: Smearing
Li Mu was slightly panicked and went to the front hall.
I saw a woman, sitting upright on a chair next to a three-year-old child.
Woman, she looks good.
"Xianggong, are you here......" The woman stepped forward and said, "The child is calling Daddy?"
The three-year-old child stepped forward and shouted, "Daddy!"
Li Mu was stunned, could this really be my son.
In other words, this is the fault of the predecessor, and I will take the blame.
"Congratulations to my brother, I have an heir, I have a descendant, and the incense has been continued!" Wu Yong stepped forward to congratulate.
Li Mu was still in a daze.
"Husband, don't you forget your concubine! After you visit the flowers, you forget our marriage contract and your concubine! It doesn't matter if you forget your concubine, but don't forget your children!" the woman stepped forward and cried.
"Could it be that I really have something to do with this woman...... Is he really my woman?" Li Mu thought, the demon seed was running, and suddenly he felt that the woman was pretending to cry, crying insincerely.
At this time, the door of the house was open, and a group of people outside were watching the excitement.
"I didn't expect that Master Li turned out to be such a person, for the sake of glory and wealth. Abandon the wife of the chaff!"
"Yes, he has a talent, but his character is too despicable!"
"Originally, I thought that Master Li was a Qing official, but I didn't expect it to be such a person!"
Everyone was discussing, and Li Mu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Wu Yong looked at it and also had a bad feeling.
It seems that something is wrong with this woman.
The woman looked at Li Mu with teary eyes and cried, "Husband, you can't leave me alone!"
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, and the cry was hoarse and heartbroken, and the people around him exploded directly.
"Beasts, abandon wives and children, scumbags!"
"It's not as good as a beast!"
Gradually, more and more people gathered, pointing at Li Mu.
Li Mu sighed heavily: "I wish I had a wife and a child, but it's a pity...... You're not. This lady, did you recognize the wrong person?"
The young woman cried: "My husband is now in a high position, I know that I am not worthy of you, so I just ask you not to drive me away, and give me and my children a place where we can shelter from the wind and rain!"
"Iniquity!"
"It's a brute!"
"It's so ruthless!"
"Human-faced beast heart!Without Li Mu, he turned out to be human-faced beast heart!?"
There was immediately a discussion around him, and Li Mu's face was a little dark.
Wu Yong felt that something was wrong.
The family affairs of the official family, the world is far away, there will be directly up, and there is talk everywhere...... Something is wrong, this is someone who wants to slander the reputation of the old brother.
Li Mu asked in a deep voice: "Since you say that I am your husband, do you dare to confess your relationship with the child?"
"Haha!" the woman smiled, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, "I'm not alive!"
As he spoke, he crashed directly into the pillar next to him and was about to commit suicide.
Knock knock!
As a result, Sun Mengxi stood directly in front of her, and the woman hit her stomach, resulting in a failed suicide.
"Close the yamen!" Wu Yong said.
Then, the gate closed.
There are only a few people left.
Li Mu said: "Adults shouldn't close the door, now I can't explain it!"
"The truth is not important!" Wu Yong said, "Say it, why slander Lord Li?"
Sun Mengxi also said: "Why do you want to slander adults? When it comes to appearance, you still don't pay me, in three years, adults haven't touched me, how can they touch you!"
Saying that, Sun Mengxi pulled out half of the sword, and if he didn't respond properly, he would directly step forward and cut people.
When the door closed, the woman seemed to have lost her courage, fell to her knees, and said, "Your Excellency, spare your life! Your Excellency, your lordship, your slave family is forced, and if the slave family refuses, they will kill the entire slave family." The slave family is in the west of the city......"
The woman told her where she had come from.
It turned out that a few days ago, someone threatened her, slandered Li Mu's reputation, and wanted to pour dirty water on Li Mu.
"Slandering officials, the crime is added to the first degree, and when you are exiled for 3,000 miles......" Sun Mengxi was murderous.
"It seems that I went too far, attracting some people to fight back!" Li Mu said with a smile: "Splashing dirty water is the first step, and tomorrow will be full of rumors, telling the story of me being unfortunate and abandoning my wife and children...... Rumors, don't listen to the truth, listen to the lie!"
In history, Chen Shimei was a good official, a good husband, and a good character, but she offended a vicious scholar, so she became a negative person who saw killing his wife and children.
There are also Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang are loving couples, Wu Dalang is a beautiful man, but he offended a vicious scholar, so Pan Jinlian became a poisonous woman who killed her husband, and Wu Dalang became a three-inch ugly man.
It doesn't matter what the truth is, and the people don't want to know it, but the people are familiar with the rumors and the bad things.
Wu Yong said: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, as long as I wait for more clarification, the people will understand!"
Sun Mengxi said: "Lord Wu, how can you explain such a thing clearly! Explanation is a cover-up, and the more you explain, the more you cover up, and you will confirm everything." If you can't eliminate rumors, then eliminate the people who create them...... Kill them!"
Li Mu was stunned, this girl was too murderous.
If you can't eliminate rumors, then eliminate the people who create rumors, which is to create a literal hell, simple and crude, simple and practical.
But Li Mu shook his head and said: "It's actually very simple, if you want to crack a rumor, then create more and bigger rumors, and use rumors to crack rumors...... As the saying goes, if a good person wants to become a Buddha, he needs to be difficult to achieve ninety-nine eighty-one, but a bad person only needs to put down the butcher's knife to become a Buddha. ”
"In that case, then why do I maintain the character of a clean official...... If they want to slander me, then I'll do it all to them!"
Sure enough, one by one rumors began to spread the next day.
Among the rumors, after Li Muzhong learned about the Yuan, he abandoned his wife and children, and he was unlucky, and he said it decently.
It's just that soon, another rumor spread, such as Li Mu is lustful and extravagant, ten times a night; it is said that Li Mu is admitted to Tanhua by plagiarism and cheating; it is said that Li Mu often enters the girl's boudoir at night, picks flowers and steals green; and it is said that it is ......
A lot of rumors are spreading, and these rumors are becoming more and more exaggerated and outrageous.
But because it was outrageous, the people didn't believe it.
Among the many rumors, the rumor of abandoning his wife and children and being unfortunate was ignored.
Soon after, the government posted a notice again, saying that the recent rumors were all about the remnants of the Changle Gang in order to avenge the sin and slander the adult. Those who dare to slander and be sentenced will be attributed to the remnants of the Changle Gang and arrested.
And the people did not talk any more.
Li Mu took this opportunity to begin to rectify the order of Ningbo Prefecture, crack down on crime, standardize the order of various gangs, and build water conservancy, roads, etc., constantly converging vertically and horizontally, and the various gangs and families in Ningbo, which were originally united, were disintegrated and self-defeating.
"Damn...... Li Mu...... It's not over...... It's not the end, it's the beginning!"
In a green building, a beautiful woman looked out the window and looked at the government in the distance, murderous and a little hideous.
"Father, your daughter will avenge your revenge!"
