"North?" Xu Chong raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said with a smile, "The north Kanfang is indeed vacant. That's a big piece of fat. Many, many people are staring at it. ”

Yi Fan laughed dryly, "Don't say much else, just with the convenience of the north of the city close to the main stream, the oil and water are not ordinarily rich." It's just that with our current manpower, I'm afraid we won't be able to bite it. Yi Fan was actually very sensible, he stretched out his hand and compared, "If it's such a big piece of meat, we can only take a small bite at most." ”

Li Mu said: "Try it first." There's no urgency. Either way, we certainly can't stay here forever. ”

"We still have to expand, just wait for the limelight to pass. Xu Zhong said. Li Mu agreed, "That's right." He suddenly patted his head, "We still have to find someone to take a trip to Luzhou for us." ”

"That kid who doesn't get in oil and salt can come back. Yi Fan couldn't help laughing. Li Mu also smiled, "We show our strength, but he is indispensable." ”

After going to the gambling house, Li Mu and Yi Fan went back to the small courtyard. The next morning, before dawn, the door of the small courtyard was slammed. "Knock knock. "The people outside the door seem to have strength, but they don't have the slightest strength.

"Eh, it's coming, it's coming, what a knock. Isn't this a good piece of wood, you will pay for it if it is broken?" Yi Fan muttered and ran to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, he was stunned. Outside the door, a group of soldiers from the Garrison Division lined up, and Lin Gongtu, who was in the east of the Zhenfang Garrison Academy, accompanied a chamberlain holding a holy decree.

The chamberlain is also old, and his body is a little rickety. He raised his eyes to look at Yi Fan and asked, "This is Li Mu?" This voice was sharp and thin, making people very uncomfortable to listen to. Lin Gongtu replied: "Father-in-law, this person is not Li Mu. ”

"Oh, then quickly call Li Mu out and take the order. Father-in-law Quan said to Yi Fan.

When Yi Fan heard the word "order", he was also happy in his heart. He hurriedly entered the door and called Li Mu out. When Li Mu came to the door, the father-in-law confirmed again: "You are Li Mu?"

Li Mu glanced at Lin Gongtu, and then replied, "It's right down there." ”

"Ahem. Li Mu, kneeling down to listen to the announcement. Quan Gonggong cleared his throat and shook off the holy decree. "Fengtian carrier, Your Majesty's edict said. Li Mu has a meritorious escort, rewards the royal forest garden, two thousand silver coins, eight beauties, and serves left and right. There is also a pardon decree, which is given to Leng Zizhou in Qiangzhou, which can forgive his sins. Chin this. ”

Li Mu knelt on the ground, but he didn't break his promise. The promises in the garden were all given to Li Mu without a little discount. He took a breath and said in a loud voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Father-in-law Quan gave the holy decree to Li Mu, and then said: "Li Mu, you can get Your Majesty's favor at a young age, but don't forget to be a useful person to Da Zhen to repay Your Majesty." ”

"Thank you for your teachings. Li Mu took the holy decree and gave Yi Fan a look. Yi Fan took out the red envelope that had just been sealed and quietly handed it over to his father-in-law. The father-in-law weighed it slightly and put the red envelope into his cuffs. And Lin Gongtu also turned a blind eye to this.

"Li Muna, go, let the slave family show you the way. Father-in-law Quan pointed to the horse on the side of the road, "Your Majesty's reward for your things is all there." ”

Li Mu handed over the holy decree to Yi Fan and instructed: "I'll come when I go." With that, he got on the horse and followed his father-in-law.

Under the leadership of his father-in-law, Li Mu came to a familiar place. Seeing this, Rao is Li Mu was firm, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Because the place he came to was the Dongshan County Palace!

At this moment, in front of the palace of Dongshan County, it is quite lively. The Wuji Legion surrounded the county king's mansion and was moving boxes of things out of the county king's mansion. Another group of people was guarded by a group of soldiers. It seems that it is the person in the county king's mansion. Several of them were handcuffed and shackled, and Li Mu fixed his eyes to see that the unbeatable county lord of Huanting on weekdays was also among them.

At this time, the county lord of Huanting had no arrogance in his eyes, and all that was left was deep despair. She sat on the ground without a figure, her clothes covered with dust.

"Father-in-law, this is ......" The situation in front of him made Li Mu have to ask.

Father-in-law Quan was expressionless and said, "Your Majesty made an order at the birthday banquet yesterday to raid the palace of Dongshan County. The king of Dongshan County was sentenced for the crime of rebellion, and the nine clans should be punished according to the law. However, His Majesty is merciful, thinking of blood and family affection, and extrajudicial kindness. The royal family was spared, demoted to commoners, and sent to Qiangzhou. ”

"Shhh Li Mu gasped. Although he knew that the king of Dongshan County was afraid that he would not end well, he didn't expect Chen Xiao to be so neat. Seeing the death of a county king, Li Mu couldn't help but have an overview of the impermanence of the world in his heart.

A drink and a peck, there is cause and effect. The king of Dongshan chose the cause and got the effect. But Li Mu didn't understand why the saint let go of his family. Back then, King Yu rebelled, and Chen Xiao involved the people involved in the rebellion case, all of whom were connected to the nine clans. It was only the strong man of the Li family who was the first in the world that broke his wrist and paid the price of the entire big house that he survived. As for the rest, no one was spared at all. Even today, twenty-one years later, Chen Xiao is still unrelenting. Li Mu didn't believe that he would change his personality because of the king of Dongshan County.

"Is it a bait? deliberately let go of the family, flesh and blood, and lure the people of the Ten Palaces Yama to take the bait?" A trace of conjecture flashed in Li Mu's mind. Combined with what the Ten Halls Yama did for King Yu back then, he felt that the Holy Lord was setting up a situation.

"Li Mu, this is the mansion that Your Majesty has rewarded you. Quan Gonggong pointed to the county king's mansion and said.

Li Mu was thinking about what happened just now, so his reaction was a little slower. "What?" Quan Gonggong only thought that he was carried away by joy, and repeated: "This Dongshan County Palace, originally a royal forest garden, the King of Sin returned from Qiangzhou, and His Majesty rewarded him as a mansion. Now, Your Majesty has given you this garden. In other words, from now on, it will have to be called Li Mansion. ”

With a "poof", all the cold sweat on Li Mu's back and forehead came out. What kind of joke is this! Li Mu thought that Chen Xiao's reward would be a small courtyard or a larger house at most. Who would have thought that Chen Xiao would actually reward the Dongshan County Mansion to Li Mu!

"Father-in-law, this ...... I can't afford to be so loving. Li Mu felt a little powerless, because this matter was too exaggerated. It's unbelievable.

Father-in-law Quan looked at Li Mu's helpless appearance and knew that he was a little panicked. To be honest, he was the same when he first heard the news. Chen Xiao has not rewarded the house. However, the scale of the previous reward was far from being comparable to the scale of the Dongshan County Palace. Moreover, those who are rewarded are either outstanding in their political achievements or have worked hard and made great achievements. There has never been such a big reward as Li Mu, who has no official position and has received such a big reward.

"Huh. Li Mu, Your Majesty rewarded you, that is yours. Do you still want to refuse and not be able to accept it?" Father-in-law's meaning is very clear, you will take what you are given. Even if it's hot, you have to take it.

Li Mu was still indigestible for a while.

The father-in-law didn't care about him, and then said: "As for the silver taels, they were confiscated from the original mansion. After the change, the life of the royal family was not easy. However, these thousand taels of silver are still available in the county king's mansion. I have ordered someone to stay in the storehouse, and then you can take it for yourself. ”

"Oh, by the way, and the eight beauties. You can pick one of the ladies in the house, as long as they are not related to the King of Sin, or have a close relationship, you can directly pick eight people. For the rest, the distribution of the allotment, and the repatriation of the repatriated. If you can't say it, you have to become a lowly citizen. You picked someone, but you actually saved them. ”

After the father-in-law finished chattering, he found that Li Mu was still in place, and couldn't help urging: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and pick someone, hurry up and hand it over." ”

"Uh...... Good. Li Mu had to agree to come down. He paced over to the group of people under guard. At just a glance, he saw Chen Yuan in the crowd. Thinking back to the words he promised her before, Li Mu didn't say a word, and directly pointed at Chen Yuan and said, "Father-in-law, I want this first." ”

Chen Yuan had seen Li Mu a long time ago, but she didn't know why Li Mu was here. She had just suffered a change, and she was only afraid that she would also be assigned, and she was a little afraid. Seeing Li Mu pointing at himself, he didn't know why.

Father-in-law Quan waved his hand, "You don't have to discuss with me, just pick eight people." ”

Li Mu nodded, and continued to pick seven girls in the crowd who looked pleasing to the eye. In this process, Li Mu felt that there had always been a cold gaze with hatred on him. The owner of this gaze, Li Mu didn't have to think about it to know who it was.

If it was possible, in fact, Li Mu would like to pick the county lord of Huanting over, and then let her also taste the taste of being commanded. But this is just his own idea after all, the county lord of Huanting is the bloodline of the king of Dongshan County, and there is no reason for Li Mu to pick it up.

"Alright, Father-in-law. Li Mu replied to his father-in-law. The father-in-law glanced at the eight people selected by Li Mu, among the eight people, Chen Yuan's appearance was the most outstanding, and although the rest were inferior, they also had their own merits. "Okay, the slave's business, it's done. Brother Li, enjoy Your Majesty's reward. Father-in-law said to Li Mu with a smile.

Li Mu accompanied the smiling face, but there was more of a complicated taste in his heart. "What the hell does that mean......
