The 122nd chapter makes things a big deal (1)
The yamen runner thought there was something wrong with his ears and hurriedly said, "Sir, the one who was arrested is your friend Mr. Cui's nephew. Also, our people have all been beaten..."
"Idiot!" Wang Zhongyuan picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it over, cursing: "You can do whatever you want. I will remind you with you? What are you doing while standing there? Go!"
"Hey, hey..." The yamen runner responded twice, and his head was hit by an inkstone. He couldn't figure it out. Didn't the county magistrate ask to take care of Mr. Cui? Why did he suddenly ignore it?
The yamen runs back to the scene, and the confrontation between the two sides continues, and the whipping has stopped, because if it continues, someone will definitely die. The dozen people hanging on the gate have turned into blood gourds, and they have no strength to scream.
When the onlookers saw this scene, they were so scared that they closed their eyes and did not dare to look at it. They were curious again. They secretly glanced at it for a few times and quickly closed it again. Even the craftsmen on Li Mu avoided their eyes and did not dare to look directly. Yu Wengui originally wanted to come forward to persuade him, but when he saw this scene, he did not dare to speak out. He quietly retreated. This time he learned his lesson and did not go to Li Daliang to report it. He did not make a good report last time, but was scolded and had a memory.
The yamen runner came near, approached the yamen runner's head and muttered a few words. After hearing this, the yamen runner waved his hand and said, "Brothers, we're leaving!"
"Stop!" Li Mu saw that someone was about to leave, and shouted. Li Chongyi leaned over with his entourage and stood in front of the yamen runners. The eight yamen runners were beaten by Li Chongyi alone. Seeing that his calves were twitching, he did not dare to move. The yamen runner turned around and said, "This marquis, we don't care. Can't you leave?"
"Of course not!" Li Mu said: "You bring my wife here and just want to leave casually? Don't think that I don't understand. The East City of Chang'an is back to Wannian County. If something happens in Dongcheng, you have to take someone. It is also the yamen runners of Wannian County. You are the yamen runners of Chang'an County. You are the yamen runners of Chang'an County. You are the yamen runners of Chang'an County. What's next to you across the Zhuque Street? I have reason to suspect that you are in a relationship with these people who offended my wife. You are in the same group! Want to leave now? There is no way!"
The yamen runner couldn't help it, and his blood surged, saying, "Don't bully people too much!"
"Oh ha! I dare to speak to me like this. Who are you, what official position, what title, and who will give you the courage?"
When the yamen runner heard this, he was as if a basin of cold water was poured on the spot. Seeing this, the other yamen runners knelt down and begged for mercy. Li Mu turned a deaf ear and asked Li Chongyi to bring a rope and tied up the yamen runners. He had no excuse just now, but he just tied Cui Yuyan and his terror. Now the yamen runners' head was caught by him, and he had no escape from the fate of being tied. However, there was no place at the gate and there was nowhere to hang them. They were tied up like slaves in the West City, and their mouths were stuffed with rags, and exposed them to the sun under the scorching sun.
Li Mu looked at the onlookers and said, "Go and send a message to the Chang'an County Magistrate and ask him to explain to this marquis. Otherwise, the Japanese marquis would enter the palace and read his book in front of His Majesty to see who was in trouble in the end!"
There was really a fun and fun person. When he heard Li Mu's words, he turned around and ran to the county government. At this time, Li Mu saw the entourage he sent out with Wang Hu, and gave Wang Hu a wink. Wang Hu did not approach, but just brought his people to mingle in the crowd.
Li Mu sent someone to deliver the letter to keep a backup plan. If the Chang'an County Magistrate intends to fight head-on and bring people over, Wang Hu will definitely not suffer any loss with his personal soldiers from Duke Cao's Mansion. However, the Chang'an County Magistrate did not bring anyone, and he did not want Wang Hu to get involved. Before necessary, he did not want Li Ji to bring him.
Wang Zhongyuan was waiting anxiously in the county yamen. Before the yamen runner came, a commoner who had reported the news came. When he heard Li Murang's words, Wang Zhongyuan slapped his thigh and quickly asked someone to prepare a horse. It came in less than a stick of incense.
He wanted to withdraw the person because he was afraid that Li Mu would do this. No matter what, the yamen runners in Chang'an County went to Dongshi to get people, which was a matter that could not be explained clearly. If Li Mu wanted to hold on to this, Wang Zhongyuan could not escape. He thought that Li Mu had just arrived and did not understand the rules in Chang'an City, so he would not think of this. Unexpectedly, Li Mu knew this rule and detained the yamen runners. Now Wang Zhongyuan couldn't hide behind him.
Wang Zhongyuan got off the horse's back and saluted Li Mu from a distance, saying, "Wang Zhongyuan, the magistrate of Chang'an County, is one step late, and I hope the Marquis of Zhulu will forgive me."
Although his official position is the fifth rank like Li Mu, his title is lower than Li Mu. He is just a baron. Li Mu is a marquis. He is two levels older than him, so there is nothing wrong with giving the ceremony first.
Li Mu raised his hand and replied, "Of course I can understand." As he said that, he pointed at the yamen runners with a bloody horse whip and said, "Everything that happened in the East City must be managed. Chang'an County is busy enough. I will submit a copy tomorrow to report Wannian County's negligence. Please reward you with Your Majesty."
This was an open threat. Wang Zhongyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, moved closer, and said, "Mr. Marquis, can you talk with me?"
"If you don't borrow it, just say it here."
Wang Zhongyuan looked at Cui Yuyan, who looked like a bloody gourd, and thought that Zhulu Hou was young and had a bad move. He said with a tough bullet: "It's inconvenient for so many people to look at it, so I'd better borrow it."
"Stop talking about it inconvenient."
"This..." Wang Zhongyuan had never seen such a person who was not worthy of face. He was choked and couldn't breathe. After a long time, he whispered: "Mr. Marquis, then Xiaguan said the truth. This man is Cui Yuyan. His uncle is the good friend of Xiaguan and the nephew of Cui Wensheng, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel. This kid always comes and goes in the West Market. Sometimes he causes trouble. Xiaguan takes care of his uncle for his face. Today, he may have caused trouble, so he still wants to come to the yamen runners to help him like in the past. Unexpectedly, he is the wife Zun. Marquis, can we settle this matter privately? The Cui family of Boling will definitely give you an explanation."
"So that's it!" Li Mu suddenly promoted eight tosses and said, "Chang'an County, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know. It turns out that this boy who offended my wife was from the Cui family of Boling! You are good friends with his uncle, Cui Wensheng, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, so when he happened to him in Dongshi, you, Chang'an County, sent a yamen runner to arrest my wife without asking the reason! Okay, what an official protects each other!"
"I want to threaten me to settle it privately? No way! This marquis must not tolerate such unhealthy practices! Fortunately, it is my marquis' wife, and I have this marquis stand up for her. If it is an ordinary citizen, wouldn't it be bullied to death by you?"
Li Mu said with a sad face and said, "So what about the high-ranking surnames? So what about the officials protecting each other? Today I want you to fight to the end! Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
