When Li Mu returned home, he had not finished changing his clothes, Zhao Youcai came to inform him.

"Marty, someone came to visit him, and he said his name was Wang..."

"not see!"

Li Mu said angrily: "No one with the surname Wang is seen, I am incompatible with the surname Wang!"

"The Marquis is not from the Wang family in Taiyuan. He said he was a censor named Wang Jingze. He came to visit him with the support of the Marquis."

"Wang Jingze?"

Li Mu frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered. Isn’t this the censor who turned against him? A memorial praising melody made Li Shimin very happy. He was promoted from the Censor three levels in succession, and now he has become the lucky one of the Censors.

If it were him, he could meet him.

"Let him wait, I change my clothes."

Zhao Youcai responded and stepped back. Li Mu took off the tiger fur, changed into normal casual clothes, and came from the backyard to the front yard lobby. Tiger fur is good everywhere, but it is a little too dense, so it is naturally good to wear outdoors, but at home, there is a fire wall and a fire kang, and I feel sweaty after a while when I wear tiger fur.

When Li Mu came to the lobby, he saw a young censor sitting upright in the hall. He looked very nervous when he put his hands on his knees and looked in front of him.

Li Mu coughed, and Wang Jingze heard it, and quickly stood up and bowed to the end: "Wang Jingze, the subordinate of the disciple, has seen the Marquis, please pay tribute to the Marquis."

“Yo?”

Hearing this title, Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Wang Zhongcheng, I dare not be the 'submit'. You are the Chief Censor and the fourth-rank official. Why are you my subordinate? You are the subordinate of Wei Zheng, what do you have to do with me?"

Li Mu did not let him get up, Wang Jingze did not dare to get up, and said with a grudge: "Marty, I was deceived by Wei Zheng before and did a lot of things to do to the Marquis. It was not until a few days ago that I had already broken up with Wei Zheng and the Shandong gentry. I also asked the Martyr to be generous and forgive the seven people below. From now on, we are willing to be a lackey for the Martyr's disciple and let them be driven by it."

"Ha!" Li Mu sat down, chuckled, and said, "Do you think I, Li Mu, will take over people who are young and fickle in the morning?"

When Wang Jingze heard this, his body trembled for a moment, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He thought that with his own rebellion and the steaming identity of the Chief Censor, he would inevitably welcome Li Mu. But he did not expect that Li Mu would actually think he was a traitor and was unwilling to accept him.

Did he not take the chips of the Censor Zhongcheng seriously?

Wang Jingze became a little anxious.

He turned against Li Muhe and the New Deal, and he had already broken up with Wei Zheng and the Shandong gentry. The reason why he dared to do this was because he was confident that Li Mu would take them in. Now something went wrong, what should I do?

Is it still time to go back and apologize?

Wang Jingze gritted his teeth, knelt in front of Li Mu, and cried with his head on the ground, "Mr. Marquis, my disciples have no choice but to do so!"

Li Mu put down the teacup, stretched out his hand, and said, "Come on, tell your story."

"ah?"

Li Mu was a little embarrassed. He had watched too much pain in the previous life talent show and couldn't help it. Seeing Wang Jingze was confused, he quickly cleared his throat and said, "Tell me the reason, let me see how I had to."

"The Marquis doesn't know anything. Although we are all censors and are all Shandong gentry, we are very different from Lu Zhilin and others. We are in the Censorate... we have always been the target of discrimination!"

Li Mu looked curious and said, "I really don't know why you are discriminated against?"

"It's just because we are," Wang Jingze's eyes were slightly red, tears flashed, and he said gritting his teeth: "It's just because we are all son-in-law!"

"Son-in-law?"

Wang Jingze nodded vigorously and explained to Li Mu: "The Marquis, the Shandong gentry, are headed by the three families of "Fanyang Lu clan", "Xingyang Zheng clan" and "Boling Cui clan". Like Lu Zhilin, although he is a side house of the Lu clan of Fanyang, his surname is Lu after all. We are not among the three clans. We only get the support of the three clans because we married the daughter of the three clans and became son-in-laws. We entered the court and became officials and were regarded as Shandong geniuses."

Li Mu was a little confused when he heard this and said, "So, are you not a Shandong gentry?"

"The subordinates are Shandong gentry, but not the core Shandong gentry." Wang Jingze further explained: "Among the Shandong gentry, the eldest son-in-law of the three surnames, the eldest son-in-law of the three families, and the second son-in-law is the secondary. Even if our son-in-law has a higher official position than the eldest son, he can only be the last one and will always be looked down upon!"

Wang Jingze said angrily: "Eight people, we have been living in this kind of discrimination. Taking the power of the three families, we dare not speak out. We have suffered so many cowards in private, and we live worse than a dog! Last time Lu Zhilin and Wei Zheng falsely accused the Marquis of the Marquis, and were counterattacked by the Marquis. I saw that none of the three families who are usually arrogant and domineering dare to stand up and fight against the Marquis head-on, so I saw a glimmer of dawn. We were not afraid of the Marquis throwing feces, but wanted to seize this opportunity to get rid of them, be a dignified person and be an official!"

Wang Jingze looked up at Li Mu, with tears in his eyes and said, "Marty, we are also men, and we have dignity! We would rather be a lackey under the Martyr than be a puppet of the three clans, and live a life that is worse than pigs and dogs! If Martyr dislikes me, I will not be able to go back. Instead of being revenge from them, it is better to wipe the neck with one knife and die and be completely destroyed!"

"Oh..." Li Mu suddenly realized, got up and helped Wang Jingze up, pressed his shoulder to let him sit down.

"As soon as you say this, I understand. This feeling is really not good. I can understand you, which is really sympathetic. But you may not necessarily have to surrender to me. You also watched. I am not a match for Wei Zheng. Now I am at home without any official position and a idler. What can I help you?"

"Mr. Marquis, don't be humble anymore. The disciple might as well say bluntly. If we hadn't thought about it over and over again, we wouldn't have made such a gamble. Since we have rebelled, we just believe in the Marquis' strength. The disciple's promotion to three levels is a clear proof! Your Majesty relies very much on the Marquis, and it is absolutely impossible for us to follow the Marquis."

"Oh!" Li Mu sighed and said, "Since you are so calm and sincere, if I keep others from a thousand miles away, it seems a bit unkind. But after all, you are against me. After all, I still can't trust you all the time..."

Wang Jingze hurriedly wanted to explain, but Li Mu raised his hand to stop him and continued, "But it doesn't matter. If I dare to accept you, I won't be afraid that you will rebel against me. There is a saying that I want to say in front of me. I am a man, and I will not rub sand in my eyes. You call yourself my lackey, so you will take it out as a lackey. Remember my words, if you dare to betray me one day like you betray the Shandong gentry today, no matter what legitimate reason you have, I will kill you. At that time, don't blame me for being ruthless, because you begged me today."

The coldness revealed in his words made Wang Jingze shudder. But he was vaguely excited. He didn't know what the other seven people thought about, but since he had rebelled against the Shandong gentry, he never thought about looking back!

Wang Jingze stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Don't worry, if the disciple betrays the marquis in this life, he will be cut into pieces and die!"

"Haha, there is no need to swear. I don't believe in swearing, um--" Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Since you have joined my disciple, let's have a letter of fame first!"

Wang Jingze actively said: "Mr. Marquis, please give me instructions!"

"Impossess me!"

"Ah?" Wang Jingze just thought Li Mu was a temptation and hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not!"

"Why, disobedient?" Li Mu frowned and said, "If you don't listen to me, why do you say that you are my lackey?"

Wang Jingze was stunned and hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis, the subordinates are a little confused. Why did Marquis impeach him?"

Li Mu pointed at Wang Jingze, then pointed at himself, and said, "It's not me that I impeached myself, but you who impeached me. As for the reason - I'll ask you, what are the opinions of you between the government and the people these days?"

"This..." Wang Jingze was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should tell the truth, but when he saw Li Mu looking at him, he gritted his teeth and said truthfully: "The government and the public are very despised at their subordinates, scolding us for being unscrupulous, betrayal, etc., and the dirty words are very unpleasant."

"So, you must impeach me even more. Only in this way can you show your innocence!"

Wang Jingze was even more confused and dared not guess, and said, "Please tell me the marquis."

"You can slowly understand the truth and do what I said first. Three days later, you and the other seven people impeach me and the minister Wang Gui, and you said that we will give private gifts and steal national wealth. How bad it sounds... Of course, you can't scold my ancestors, but you can scold Wang Gui's ancestors. It doesn't matter if it sounds bad. Will the righteousness be? Standing on the commanding heights of morality, curse me, take out the work of Lu Zhilin's death advice, and show it in the court discussion."

Wang Jingze was stunned when he heard this. What? Not only did he scold Li Mu, but he also scolded Wang Gui?

One is the hottest Zhulu Hou who hits and dies, and the other is the prime minister of the Wang family, the world's largest family, who was born in the world, and scolds the other one for death, and scolds two at the same time. Isn't this just getting tired of living?

Wang Jingze looked at Li Mu in a daze and said in his heart, what does the marquis mean? Is he going to kill someone with a knife?

Li Mu glanced at him with his eyelids and said, "Why, don't you dare?"

Wang Jingze took a deep breath and said, "The Marquis said he would do whatever he wanted to do!"

"Okay!" Li Mu praised and clapped his hands. Li Chongyi walked in and took off the money bag on his waist.

Li Mu took out eight "big yellow croaker" from the money bag and slapped it in front of Wang Jingze.

"I heard that the Censors lived a very poor life, and you are all sons-in-law, so I guess they were not very affordable. You give me a letter of fame, and I will give you some gifts for meeting. One ten tael, one for each person, and take it for wine."

Wang Jingze was stupid.

This is gold bar!

A gold bar of ten taels!

Wang Jingze swallowed, and retracted his hand, which had already subconsciously stretched out half, resisted his gaze and gritted his teeth and said, "Marty, we are the censors--"

"No?" Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm sure you don't?"

"Thank you, Marquis!"

In the flash of lightning, Wang Jingze chose to follow his heart, hugged the eight gold bars, and smiled in satisfaction.

"I just like you." Li Mu patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Young man, you have a good future. You have written memorials well and you will have rewards."

Wang Jingze went happily. Li Mu threw the money back to Li Chongyi. Just as he was about to turn back to the back house, Zhao Youcai came to report again, saying that Wang Pu had been waiting in the gatehouse for a long time. Seeing Li Mu Youke, he didn't dare to come.

After talking with Wang Jingze for a while, Li Mu's anger disappeared a lot. Moreover, he could not really break up with the Wang family in Taiyuan. Everything was just acting. The temperature was almost the same, so Li Mu sat down again and asked Zhao Youcai to bring Wang Pu over.

Wang Pu came carefully.

Seeing Li Mu sitting on the chair, his face was as deep as water. Wang Pu became even more restrained and hesitated at the door and did not dare to come in.

Li Mu looked at him and said nothing.

Wang Pu grinned and said, "Mr. Marquis——"

"Do you still have the face to see me?"

Wang Pu was ashamed and bowed and said, "Mr. Marquis, I dare not defend my brother. We did something wrong. Marquis, what do you say, and what can you do to relieve your anger? You said that's it, and you will definitely let the Marquis quell."

Li Mu looked at him deeply and said, "Hmph, if it weren't for your face, you wouldn't have thought of this matter!"

When Wang Pu heard this, he felt flattered. He really wanted to pull Wang Gui over and let him listen. Whether he saw it was because of my face! My face!

Seeing that Li Mu's attitude eased, Wang Pu quickly beat the snake and followed the stick, laughed and said, "The Marquis is indeed magnanimous. I admire him very much, and I admire him very much--"

"Stop saying these words in the future." Li Mu pointed to the chair next to him, signaled Wang Pu to sit down, and said, "Wang Pu, I might as well make it clear today. If someone hadn't visited him just now, I should have gone to your elder brother's house. You know this person, and I said I would pour manure into his well and I could do it!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, who doesn't know? My elder brother is really confused. Oh, I have advised him."

"Hmph!" Li Mu snorted coldly, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a kind person in the world to repay the enemy! What does he mean? Are you planning to plot against me?"

"I dare not, no, who dares to plot against you, Marquis, is my elder brother just confused!"

"This is the first and last time. If you encounter something like this again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"It's absolutely impossible!" Wang Pu slapped his chest and said, "I guarantee it with my life that it will never happen. If such a thing happens again, the Marquis will take my life!"

"Oh!" Li Mu sighed and said, "Your brother's eyes fell into money's eyes, only looking at interests, regardless of affection. But I was thinking about the 'love of a cow and horse' with you. Alas, my biggest weakness is kindness. I am so soft-hearted, I will suffer a loss sooner or later!"
