Great Swordsman

Chapter 13 The Sword of the Great River Comes from the Sky

Hearing Li Mu's words, the eight instructors were taken aback.

Su Yuan's expression changed drastically!

He finally knew what Li Mu was going to do, this guy was going to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot!
"My lord is wise, my lord is wise!" Zhang Long and Zhang Hu shouted loudly at the first time.

The surrounding people also echoed in ecstasy: "My lord is wise!!"

The whole drying yard suddenly boiled over.

Li Mu glanced at Su Yuan, who had a livid expression, and said again with a smile: "Everyone, you have heard it. Now, what reason do you have to stand on the ring? Why don't you bring the common people back to the academy to teach and preach!"

Under his instruction, Lin Youjing and others quickly withdrew and retreated, letting the eight instructors hang out.

"That's right, the eight teachers, the adults have agreed to our practice, so stop beating, and take my son to the academy to study and practice!"

"Eight teachers, I'll leave it to you to practice!"

The common people were so excited that they wished they could just kidnap Professor Xi and fly back to the academy!

However, under their earnest call, the eight instructors stood on the ring with ashen faces and nails on their feet, refusing to come down.

The people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Li Mu couldn't stand it any longer, and asked, "What do the eight teachers mean?"

"This matter... will be discussed later!" Finally, Zheng Gong, the leader of the teaching, spoke.

"Discuss later?"

"Why discuss it later?"

"What does Zheng Jiaoxi mean?"

The people are puzzled.

Zheng Gong stood on the ring with a livid face, his brain was spinning, and he quickly thought of a way to break the game!

He pointed at Lin Youjing angrily, and said sharply: "Everyone, this man is so cruel that he even killed four arresters in a row. He is lawless. Regarding this matter, we, as scholars..."

"In a martial arts competition in the arena, swords and guns have no eyes, and casualties are inevitable. And everyone has seen it, but they bully the few just now, why, only four of you are allowed to fight one, and eight of you are allowed to fight one, and Lin Xiaojing is not allowed Rise up and resist? What's the point?" Li Mu sneered, "Don't tell me you have to ask him to kill you if he wants to kill you?"

"Slick tongue, I..." Zheng Gong was interrupted before finishing his sentence.

Li Mu sneered: "Besides, you are only teaching in the academy, even if there is a murder case, it should be handled by the official, what kind of onion are you, you dare to intervene?!

"You..." Zheng Gong was furious.

"What are you! Why don't you immediately lead the people back to the academy and teach them how to read and practice?" Li Mu scolded.

"I..." Zheng Gong's chest rose and fell, but where could he go?
The rest of the instructors also looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, they all turned their heads and looked at the county magistrate Su Yuan.

The common people also looked at Su Yuan following their gaze.

"This matter..." Su Yuan's scalp tingled.

He knew that if the instructors were allowed to leave, then Li Mu could use the same reason to drive away the four great gentry who 'pleaded for the people'. At that time, the final winner of this contest can only be Li Mu!
But if the teachers are not allowed to go, how can they justify themselves?
Or, directly crushing Mount Tai, suppressing the other party first?
"Jiaoxi Zheng! You keep saying that you are standing in the arena for the sake of common people's practice. Now, my official has ordered the opening of the academy. Why do you delay leaving? Could it be that you are reluctant to part with the precious books in the academy and want to cherish them?" Li Mu began Splash sewage.

As soon as the people heard it, they immediately believed it!
Because, throughout the ages, all famous aristocratic families, academies and private schools have been like this, they all like to hide good things, for fear of teaching others to starve themselves to death!
"Of course... no!" Of course Zheng Gong was also reluctant, but he couldn't tell the truth in front of so many people.

"Since it's not, then your purpose is not pure!" Li Mu sneered, "You are not pleading for the people's life at all, so you are deliberately pushing back and forth!"

"That's enough, County Magistrate Li!" Su Yuan finally couldn't help standing up, and said, "All the instructors are invited by me to participate in the competition, and have nothing to do with the common people."

"Bold!!" Li Mu shouted suddenly, angrily pointing at the teacher on the stage, "Since you are invited by the county magistrate Su to come to the martial arts competition, why do you keep saying that you are pleading for the common people? It is simply absurd to slander the official for not allowing the common people to practice! If the official does not allow the common people to practice, why should he order the academy to be open to everyone?!"

"That's right, my lord is dedicated to the people, and has never said anything that prohibits people from practicing!" Zhang Long immediately yelled, speaking out for Li Mu.

Zhang Hu is not to be outdone: "Fellow folks, the ten instructors in this academy are all in the academy on weekdays, and the lord has been staying in the county government these days and has never gone out. How could they have heard the lord's words that the common people are forbidden to practice?" ? This is clearly they are framing!"

The more the common people listened, the more reasonable it became. The main reason was that they had heard Li Mu say that the academy would be opened, and at the same time saw with their own eyes that the eight professors who kept pleading for their lives refused to take them to the academy.

What is the truth, needless to say?
"This matter..." Su Yuan just wanted to say something, but was roughly interrupted by Li Mu.

"This matter is related to my reputation, I will never let it go!" Li Mu shouted angrily, "Come here, take down all these deceitful people who framed the court officials, and if they resist, they will be killed!"

Li Mutu will see you soon!

Zheng Gong and the others changed their expressions drastically, and hurriedly asked Su Yuan for help.

Su Yuan's heart was shocked, he finally realized that Li Mu didn't want to draw out the bottom line, but wanted to kill them all!
He hastily opened his mouth to stop him: "Magistrate Li, the instructors are also being deceived, you can't..."

"Being deceived by others? Very good, tell me, who have you been deceived by!" Li Mu was waiting for his words.

Su Yuan's complexion changed again, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Zheng Gong.

Zheng Gong panicked and could only retort: ​​"No, we were not deceived by others, no, we..."

"Since no one has deceived you, then you are the masterminds!" Li Mu grabbed the hilt of the sword in Han Qingqian's arms and gently pulled it out, "This crime should be punished!"

Under the warm sunlight, a glare of sword light reflected from the blade of the sword entered the eyes of Zheng Gong and the other eight instructors.

The Sword of the Great River... Come from the sky!

Li Mu leaped onto the ring, stabbed down with his sword, the sword energy was like a rainbow, emitting a hazy cyan halo, like a mountain wind blowing through the bamboo forest, it crossed half of the ring in an instant, and cut the necks of eight instructors at the same time, bleeding profusely on the spot!
"Li Mu, how dare you..." Su Yuan was frightened and angry, and at the same time, a trace of fear surged from the bottom of her heart.

Because of the sword just now, he... couldn't take it! !
But then, something happened that made Su Yuan even more frightened!

Those eight instructors... are not dead!
"Ahhh!"

"Blood, blood, my throat, my throat..."

"Forgive me, forgive me, don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm not the mastermind."

"That's right, we are all following orders, it has nothing to do with us, it is Su Xiancheng who ordered us to do this!"

"It's Su County Chancellor, it's him, it's him, it's he who wants to seize the power in the county, unites the four gentry, and instigates us to frame the lord, we are all forced, lord, it is clear!!"

The eight instructors clutched their bleeding throats, cried and knelt on the ground to testify against Su Yuan desperately.

There is great fear in the face of life and death. Zheng Gong and other eight instructors survived from death. How can they have the courage to resist everything alone?
This Li Mu is really going to kill someone! !
Under the arena, the common people were dumbfounded. They never expected such a big reversal in the end of the competition! !
Su Xiancheng, who was originally thought to be an exiled immortal descending from the dust, turned out to be the man behind the scenes who turned black and white! !
"You, you..." Su Yuan trembled all over, staring at Zheng Gong and the others in disbelief, and finally, he looked at Li Mu.

"You..." Su Yuan gritted her teeth.

"Su Xiancheng, it turns out that you are the one who messed up all of this!" Li Mu said lightly, "You have taken great pains, first instigating the professors of the academy to falsely accuse me of my innocence, and then colluding with the four gentry to incite the people to seize the power of this official! The following Committing the great crime of gathering a crowd to cause chaos, you should... be executed!!"
