When I walked to the city gate, there was a group of officials waiting at the gate.

"Meet your lord!"

"Meet your lord!"

"Meet your lord!"

At this time, one after another civil officials came forward to pay their respects, including general judges, transit envoys, inspection envoys, and some other officials, large and small, the number of which was about 100 people, came to visit one after another.

According to the unspoken rule, if you come to greet Shangguan, Shangguan may not be able to remember you, but if you don't come to greet Shangguan, Shangguan will definitely remember.

"Hello everyone, there is something on the way, and it has been delayed for a while!" Li Mu said.

The general judge stepped forward and said, "I know that the lord is helping the Northern Wilderness Marquis to build a river dam!"

Li Mu stepped forward to greet them, although Li Mu didn't know them, it did not prevent them from being humble and polite, and many officials also returned the salute.

Being a human being is an art, and you may not even remember someone's name, but some people are extremely grateful to you.

Just like Mr. Fujino and Lu Xun, Lu Xun never forgot this teacher and thanked him for his dedication. But Mr. Fujino said, "Have I ever taught this student?" Finally, after a long time of recollection, I remembered that I had taught a student who was not very good.

As a leader, Li Mu only roughly memorized the names of some officials, and he may forget them after a while, but he wanted to leave people with a feeling of being modest and polite.

After saying hello, Li Mu said goodbye to everyone and went to the mansion to rest.

Many officials also dispersed separately, each going in tandem, thinking about the night time and what gifts to give to the new leader.

The boss may not remember what gifts the subordinate gave to the boss, but the subordinate did not give the gift, and the boss will definitely remember it.

Back in the palace, the outside of the government is a little dilapidated, it seems that it has been more than ten years, and has not been repaired, but inside it is carved beams and painted buildings, luxurious and elegant, solemn and solemn.

Understated and luxurious.

And the poor are just the opposite, high-profile and poor.

You may drive a luxury car outside, bring a famous watch, eat steak outside, and come home to nibble on steamed buns and drink porridge.

"How did Zhizhou Zhao Tianmu die?"

Li Mu said, looking at the terrain here, he said: "The Zhizhou Mansion is a small fortress, there are three hundred guards here, and there are three grandmasters sitting here...... Even the Great Grandmaster is not easy to make a move. In addition, I felt a celestial aura here...... The celestials are monitoring the entire city at all times, and it is impossible for ordinary celestials to make a move!"

The government has strict means to prevent the enemy from assassinating.

There are guards on the periphery, a grandmaster in charge, a great grandmaster to defend, and celestials to monitor, in addition to a secret room to hide, which can be described as a well-guarded guard.

Hua Wuying said: "Zhao Tianmu, died of heart disease!"

"Heart disease!"

Li Mu frowned slightly, "According to the information, Zhao Tianmu is congenitally perfect and has a strong physique, how could he die of heart disease!"

"How could it not!"

Hua Wuying said: "Innate martial artists, just a little stronger, can also catch colds, get old, and have various diseases. According to intelligence, Zhao Tianmu was fine when he ate at night, but on the second day, he lost his breath and died!"

Afterwards, under the inspection of many masters, Zhao Tianmu did not have the slightest wound, he did not die from a sharp weapon, there was no sign of poisoning on his body, and there was no trace of being injured by a martial artist. In the end, it was concluded that he died of a heart disease!"

"Originally, everything was calm, but the body has been gathered into the coffin, and it is about to be buried, and there is a problem!"

"A servant under Zhao Tianmu's command, that is, my secret agent of the Xuanjing Division, found something abnormal when he was sorting out the relics......

Hua Wuying said hello, and immediately a maid came over with a box.

This box, three feet three feet long, one and a half feet wide, and two feet high, is made of high-quality black steel, and there are seven exquisite locks on the outside, which is equivalent to a lockbox.

At the moment, the box is open.

It seems that the Xuanjing Division opened it with his hands.

Li Mu opened the box and saw some gold inside, which seemed to be extremely inconspicuous.

"There's something wrong with this box!"

Li Mu said: "No, there is a mezzanine!"

The mezzanine is very narrow, just a thin layer, extremely tight, without careful observation of the difference between inside and outside, it is really not visible.

Open the mezzanine, and put some silver tickets inside, as well as gold tickets, all in an anonymous way.

It can be used to launder money, transfer perfectly, and protect some people's secrets.

Li Mu looked through these silver tickets and golden tickets, and suddenly a letter appeared, the content of the letter was about 500 words, written by Zhao Tianmu, saying that if he was killed one day, he would be killed by some people, and he also named the suspect......

Just looking at the suspect, Li Mu's scalp was also numb.

The suspects on the letter involve high-ranking officials above the seventh level in Youzhou, as well as other forces, etc., if they really want to continue, that is, a great purge, a great change of blood.

"What do you think of the contents of the letter?"

Li Mu Q&A.

"Half true, half false!" Hua Wuying said: "The only thing that can be determined is that Zhao Tianmu was also pulled into the water! I also suspect that maybe the secret agent of the Xuanjing Division has been exposed, and he passed this letter to us with the help of the secret agent's hand!"

Li Mu was silent, thinking about the case.

The secret agents of the Xuanjing Division are all over the place, monitoring officials everywhere.

Many secret agents are not martial arts masters, but ordinary people are in the majority. Or to some extent, ordinary people are their main business, and as for the secret agent position, it is a part-time job.

Many officials also know that there may be secret agents of the Xuanjing Division around them, so they can choose to remain silent.

"Doesn't Your Majesty know?" asked Li Mu.

"Your Majesty also knows some about the border problem, but I don't know how serious the problem is!" Hua Wuying said: "Your Majesty is very busy, busy with other big things, relatively speaking, border smuggling, arms smuggling, and officers seizing land, etc., are just small things!"

"Doing things is a matter of prioritization, and in our eyes, it can be some big problems...... But in the eyes of His Majesty, it's just a small matter!"

From this letter, it can be inferred that Zhao Tianmu did not die of natural causes, and the so-called death of heart disease is only superficial...... On a deeper level, it could have been killed!"

"Who did you say was the murderer?"

Hua Wuying said: "Generally speaking, even if an official harms the interests of some groups, they rarely kill officials. When some officials are disobedient, there are mainly three means, one is to directly corrode, one is to be directly transferred, and the other is to plant slander and indirectly kill them!"

"There seems to be some problems with such violence, but if you think about it carefully, you can't think of anything?"

Li Mu was silent, thinking about what he couldn't understand.

Corrupt officials dealing with Qing officials are nothing more than four major killing moves, one is direct corrosion, such as dealing with Qi Tongwei,

One is to be transferred directly, for example, Li Dakang refused to go along with the flow, so he was directly transferred;

There are also direct slanders, such as slander against Hou Liangping.

As for taking it out directly, this is the fourth move.

But it's also extreme.

For example, directly hit Chen Hai with a car.

But because of this, the problem is bigger.

Originally, the emperor also knew a thing or two about the border affairs and the Youzhou problem, but he was busy with other things, and he had no time to pay attention to it for the time being.

But with the assassination of Zhao Tianmu, the emperor had to take action.

"The only explanation is that there is too much time...... Gotta shoot!"

Li Mu suddenly said, "It seems that Zhao Tianmu is going to smash the plate, they are running out of time, they have to make a move!"
