Chapter 589

"Husband, here."

When Li Mu came out of the tribute courtyard, he saw Bai Qiaoqiao waving across the street, Dugu Jiu stood behind her. Li Mu quickly walked over, gently grabbed Bai Qiaoqiao's hand, and complained: "Madam, I didn't tell you, don't come over. Your husband is a genius. What's wrong with the genius? You are waiting here with a big belly. If you are tired, I might as well stop taking the exam."

Bai Qiaoqiao looked down at her lower abdomen. In fact, it was only two months old, so she didn't have any big belly. She looked at him angrily and said, "Stop talking nonsense, where are you?"

"Mom?" Li Mu raised his head and looked around: "Where? Didn't you see it?"

"In the car over there, the carriage here cannot pass, so I and Xiaojiu came and waited first."

Li Mu felt Dugu Jiu's concerned gaze and nodded. Dugu Jiu turned his gaze back, as if the person he had just seen was not him.

"Husband, why did you come out so early? Is the test difficult?"

"Is it difficult..." Li Mu shrugged and said, "It shouldn't be difficult, I don't think it's difficult anyway..." Suddenly, Li Mu slapped his thigh, as if he was thinking of something, and said anxiously: "I almost forgot a big thing. Oh, how much money I earn!" Li Mu grabbed Dugu Jiu's arm and said, "Is Ergou here? Did this dog come?"

Dugu Jiu was also stunned and hurriedly replied: "Here you come, beside the old lady."

"Let's go, go quickly, I'll find him if I have something to do!" Li Mu said, running ahead first. Bai Qiaoqiao and Dugu Jiu had to follow him. Fortunately, no candidates came out at this time, and the streets were not crowded. Soon they arrived at the place where the carriage was stopped.

"Ergou, come here!"

Ergou heard Li Mu call him and ran over quickly: "What are the instructions of the marquis?"

"Go, hurry up, open a handicap at Sihai Gambling and bet on whether I can win the No. 1 pick. The higher the odds, the better. Then put up all the existing money in the Gambling and buy me and win. This time, I will kill the whole city!"

"Ah?" Ergou was stunned, feeling something was wrong, but he didn't dare to say it, so he had to look at Dugu Jiu eagerly, hoping that he could stand up and say something. Bai Qiaoqiao did not dare to count on him. Besides, Bai Qiaoqiao had never asked about the gambling house, and she might not understand it.

Dugu Jiu had played in the gambling house several times, but he was not addicted, so he didn't know much about the gambling house. Facing Ergou's eyes, he turned his gaze aside. Ergou had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Mr. Marquis... Are you considering it again? This odds are a bit, a bit?"

"What do you mean?" Li Mu stared at Ergou's eyes and said, "Ha, now I've become a big shot. I dare to question this marquis, right?"

"No, no, no, no, the villain dares. In front of the Marquis, he will always be a second gou, not a big beam, but this... the gambling house has nearly 100,000 guan, all of them are pressed on it. If there is a case, 100,000 guan, the villain must remind the Marquis."

"What are you afraid of with 100,000 guan? Go and find Changsun Chong and take out 100,000 guan from the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to defeat me, just treat it as your majesty's bet."

"This..." Ergou suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from behind his neck and grinned: "Mr. Marquis, I embezzled public funds from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I want to behead him."

"You are a messenger who is so brave? You can't kill your head. What are you afraid of? Go quickly and be careful that I will kick you!"

Ergou wanted to persuade him again, but he refused to leave: "Mr. Marquis, think about it again, think twice."

Li Mu raised his foot and said, "Kick you? Kick?"

Before he could kick him out, he suddenly rushed back and almost lay on the ground. Fortunately, Ergou caught him in front, so that a dog could not eat the mud. Li Mu was furious and turned around and scolded: "Who dares to kick this marquis' butt? He didn't want to live, right? He knelt on the ground and asked me to kick him back. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to peel your skin with an order. Your Majesty, why are you so free?"

Li Shimin snorted and said, "Isn't someone who wants to peel my skin and embezzle my money to bet and participate in the imperial examination today? I can't let it go and take a look. It's a loss, otherwise I wouldn't know that someone is so arrogant and domineering! Li Mu, I warn you, I can't control your own money, but you don't have to move my money or the money of the treasury. I'm useful and don't allow you to make trouble!"

"Your Majesty, how can I be a fool? I am making money for Your Majesty! Why don't you withdraw the money that must be won?"

"I know what you think," Li Shimin looked through everything, narrowed his eyes and said, "You must be thinking. If I also paid 100,000 yuan, I will favor you and join you during the palace examination. How could I be fooled?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't have this intention."

"It doesn't matter if there is one. I don't want to make this money, right? Just take your exam." Suddenly, Li Shimin frowned and said, "I have heard these few days that you always hand in the papers in advance. I didn't believe it at first, but I saw it with my own eyes, so I really believed it. You kid are so arrogant. It's okay if you're a little scholar before you hand in the papers in advance. Ming Jing is a big subject, and you don't take it seriously? If you ask you, you're very poor in the exam, don't say you're embarrassed, even I will be ashamed."

Li Mu was too lazy to explain, and said, "I am so confident that I am like this. I can't finish the answer. Let's stare at the invigilator with my eyes. You don't know that two of the five invigilators in a contest, like my guards, were like my guards, and the two guardians on the left and right were staring at me without moving. Your Majesty clearly understands that I can still cheat with such a genius?"

"I really have an extra trip to the palace." Li Shimin shook his head helplessly. It happened that the gate of the tribute school opened. When the Ming Jing Department was officially over, all the students who took the exam walked out of the gate. Li Shimin pointed and said, "Is that the boy from Qin Qiong's family?"

Li Mu quickly shouted: "Qin Huaidao, here!"

When Qin Huaidao saw Li Mu, he didn't want to come, so he had to come. When he came to him, he saluted Li Shimin first, then saluted Li Mu and called his mentor.

"Qin Huaidao, how did you do the exam?"

"If you say to Your Majesty, the students will be able to take the exam in an average way, and the posts and ten major points of righteousness are OK, but there is no confidence in the three current policies."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Li Mu, I have seen the test questions. These three current strategies are your specialty. Why does your apprentice say you don't have confidence? Could it be that you still have some tricks to teach your apprentice?"
