Great Swordsman

Chapter 32

Li Mu's emotional performance finally let the people inside the city gate understand the reason for the forbidden city gate.

Although it felt weird, but Qiu Changshi was here, and Li Mu didn't dare to talk nonsense even if he wanted to come here.

"If that's the case, I'll blame Mr. Li for the mistake." A scholar corrected his mistake when he knew it.

"Sun Youde is actually a corrupt official, bah!"

"I've seen it for a long time. This Sun Shaoyin's name is Youde. If he is virtuous, he will take the name of Virtue. This is called making up for what is lacking."

"That's right, I lack wood in the five elements, so my father named me Wood."

"This Sun Youde really lacks great virtue!"

The public opinion reversed, and the common people attacked Sun Youde out of righteous indignation.

Qiu Zhao heard it in his ears, and was anxious in his heart: No, it's not what you think! !

"Magistrate Li, you... think too much." Qiu Zhao bit the bullet and said.

He was ordered to smear Li Mu's official voice, and it went smoothly at first, but now, it seemed that he was going to be reversed, and he couldn't help it.

"Oh, did this officer do any other good things to make the county guard seal the west city gate?" Li Mu cupped his hands, "Qiu Changshi, please give me your advice."

"This..." Qiu Zhao was at a loss for words, it couldn't be said that it was for bad reputation of Li Mu, right?
"Qiu Changshi, you still don't understand what the sheriff is thinking." Li Mu smiled and held his hand, and said, "This official will fight for the people and take down Sun Youde. The sheriff will remember it in his heart, so I will serve as an official." Seal the west city gate and make a name for this official!"

"You..." Qiu Zhao gritted his teeth angrily, and said in a low voice, "Master Li, what a good way."

"Qiu Changshi, that's too much." Li Mu was very humble.

The two held hands, smiling at the corners of their mouths, and nodded to the people around them, while greeting each other in a low voice.

The so-called misfortune is not as good as the family, they all kept their morals and did not greet each other's family members.

Leaving the west gate, Qiu Zhao sent Li Mu to the post all the way.

"Qiu Changshi, I don't know what's going on in Nanshan?" Li Mu saw that there were no people around, so he let go of the opponent's hand and asked about the business.

Qiu Zhao also returned to his smiling face, and replied: "Tonight, the governor of the county will clean up the dust for everyone in the Zuixian Tower. By then, Mr. Li's doubts will be resolved."

After the words fell, Qiu Zhao turned and left.

"My lord." The groom followed behind, leading the carriage, and asked, "Should we live in a post house or an inn?"

"Just live here." Li Mu said.

If the sheriff wants to be unfavorable to him, it doesn't matter where he lives.

The groom immediately removed some salutes from the carriage, and some servants in the posthouse came out to help.

"Dare to ask, but the county magistrate Li Mu has arrived." Inside the post house, three young men in casual clothes walked out.

There are four counties in Tai'a County. Besides Qingping County, there are also Qing'an County, Ping'an County, and Taiping County. These three people are the county magistrates of the three counties. Clothes.

Li Mu remembered the voices and smiles of these three fat men, and when he heard this, he smiled and cupped his hands: "The three adults are well."

"Master Li is well." The three county magistrates smiled back and invited Li Mu to the tea room of the post house.

Li Mu gave the groom a look, telling him to pack up his luggage and go find out where the bandits died decades ago.

The groom nodded.

When they came to the tea room, the four county magistrates sat down one by one. A servant came forward to pour tea for them. The four of them exchanged some greetings in turn.

Wu An, the county magistrate of Qing'an County, raised his glass to Li Mu, and said, "Brother Li is still a man of high skill and boldness. He only brought one entourage with him when he went out this trip."

Chen Pingan, the county magistrate of Ping'an County, nodded: "Yes, after the recovery of the spiritual energy, the ghosts will gradually appear in the world. Brother Li only takes one person out, which is not easy."

Li Mu hurriedly said modestly: "The two old brothers misunderstood, it is really our county's talent withering."

He told the story of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant united against him, saying that Qingping county had exhausted its vitality after going through such a catastrophe.

Yang Xiuqing, magistrate of Taiping County, took a sip of tea, changed the subject, and asked, "I heard that in Brother Chen's county, there is a mountain with a purple light soaring into the sky, and it is so angry that it is a bullfight, but what peerless treasure was born?"

Chen Ping shook his head and sighed: "Don't mention it, the baby was taken away by the county guard before it was warmed up."

Wu Andao: "That's right, there are also several spiritual objects in our county that have been confiscated by the county guard under various names, hey!"

Yang Xiuqing sighed bitterly, and concluded: "It turns out that everyone is the same, all good things are handed over, and only leftovers are left."

Saying that, the three fat men turned their heads to look at Li Mu.

"..." Li Mu was under great pressure, and quickly changed the subject, "Drink tea, drink tea."

"Brother Li, I heard that Sun Shaoyin went to Qingping County for a certain peerless spiritual object. In the end, he was suppressed by you. Since then, the county governor has not confiscated any spiritual objects in your county, but is that so?" Chen Pingan asked.

Li Mu quickly denied it, saying: "The Shaoyin came here in private, falsely passed the order of the county guard, and tried to rescue the county magistrate and county lieutenant who committed the following crimes. He openly resisted the court's laws and regulations in the court, and his crime is punishable! I have absolutely no selfishness in this matter. Ah, I don't know what treasure is or is not, three brothers, don't talk nonsense!"

Wu An saw that he was not on the road, so he had to open the skylight and talk: "Brother Li, now that the spiritual energy has recovered, everyone is expected to become a fairy. Unfortunately, our county guards are not popular enough. I'll wait... hey!"

Yang Xiuqing pleaded: "Brother Li, the three elder brothers are so cheeky, please help me, otherwise, we will never see our day."

All the good things were taken away by the county magistrate. Will the three county magistrates still cultivate immortality in the future?

Therefore, we must find a backer to fight against the sheriff!
In fact, they were looking for the county lieutenant at first, but when the county lieutenant learned the reason, he said that he would also be treated the same as the county magistrate, and he would get a share of good things, just like Bingjing and Tanjing, this is Lingjing!

The three fat men were so angry that one had a big stomach and the other had a big belly, so they turned around and came to Li Mu.

Li Mu sighed, he really can't help with this, because the county guard has many minions, and he can send some people to confiscate all kinds of spiritual objects in the three counties. , but can wait for the opportunity to practice, this advance and one retreat, the gap widens!
Because of Sun Youde's incident, he and the county guard had already formed a relationship. If his cultivation level was pulled down, he would probably be severely retaliated against, with a high probability of death!

Therefore, he really had more than enough heart but not enough energy, so he could only politely decline.

The three fat men looked unhappy.

Li Mu was worried that the three fat men would fall to the sheriff in a fit of rage, and with a turn of his eyes, he told the truth about what happened at the west city gate just now, and said, "Three elder brothers, if it wasn't for the quick wit of my younger brother, my official voice today would be the same. Being discredited by the county guard, if I don't practice seriously, I'm afraid I might lose my life."

After hearing this, the three fat men knew about Li Mu's situation.

Chen Pingan blamed himself: "I waited only for myself, but I didn't expect Brother Li to face a life-and-death crisis."

Wu An said: "The county guard is vicious and cunning, brother Li, you must take care of it!"

Yang Xiuqing cupped her hands: "Brother Li, I'm the one taking the liberty."

"Everyone, it's hard." Li Mu sighed as the practice was not easy.

……

On the other side, after Chief Shi Qiu Zhao left, he did not return to the Sheriff's Mansion, but came to a certain dense forest in the west of the city.

A new gravel road is built here, leading directly to an ancient tree deep in the dense forest.

Next to the old tree, there is a small courtyard, and a few green bamboos are newly planted behind the courtyard, which has a bit of ancient flavor.

The county guard Lin Zhihe was sitting under the ancient tree to practice at the moment. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Qiu Changshi, what's wrong with Li Mu...?"

He was looking forward to Qiu Zhao's answer.

but……

"My lord." Qiu Zhao said with a bitter face, "This Li Mu is so eloquent that he actually slandered Sun Shaoyin as a corrupt official, and made the people believe that he won the honor of welcoming the Forbidden City Gate because of taking down Sun Shaoyin. Please punish the adults!"

"Li Mu...is so cunning!" Lin Zhihe tried his best to appear calm, but the muscles at the corners of his mouth still twitched uncontrollably. It took him half a day to control his facial expression, and said, "It's okay, wait for me. The county guard will go to Yuan Dynasty, let's see how he jumps!"
