Li Mu left the palace gate and walked a few steps before he was stopped by a group of people. The person who dared to be so arrogant in the imperial city was definitely not an ordinary person, but was the "Commander-in-Chief" of the entire capital, Li Mu's lifelong good uncle Cheng Yaojin.

Behind Cheng Yaojin, the imperial guards patrolling the imperial city, followed by the imperial guards, and their dark clothes were in full force. With Cheng Yaojin's fierce appearance, if the two armies were in front of the formation, the enemy would have been scared to death before they could fight.

On the other hand, he is the only one who is alone in Li Mu. He is still sleepy. If he is given a pillow at this time, he will be able to sleep for you immediately.

Cheng Yaojin's eyes were like copper bells, staring at Li Mu. Suddenly, his hair and hair were wide open. He picked up Xuanhua's axe from behind and rushed towards Li Mu. Although the guards behind him did not follow him, they all shouted, and the sound of killing and killing was endless.

"Little thief, come and take your life!" Cheng Yaojin screamed, waved his axe, and slashed Li Mu's head. If it was cut firmly, Li Mu's head would not be left in a whole body, and it would explode like a crushed apple.

Li Mu seemed to be frightened and didn't move for a moment. When Cheng Yaojin got closer, he raised his hand and yawned.

Cheng Yaojin's axe rubbed Li Mu's shoulders and cut them open, not even his clothes. The two horses intersected, and Cheng Yaojin carried the axe back, and the guards shouted to kill all shouted again.

Li Mu felt bored and rode his horse to continue moving forward.

Cheng Yaojin turned his horse and chased after him, asking, "Boy, if you kill my wife and my brother-in-law, are you not afraid of annoying me, will you take revenge on you?"

Li Muha was so angry that he said, "Uncle Cheng is indeed well-informed - the things were done by his nephew, so he would be killed or cut off."

"Then I'll chop you!" Cheng Yaojin was going to grab the axe again.

"Cut it, chop it." Li Mu said indifferently: "Cut it, save it from taking the blame."

Of course, Cheng Yaojin knew what Li Mu was talking about and laughed: "Then I won't kill you anymore, I have to laugh at you first."

"Thank you for not killing me."

Seeing that Li Mu was not at all involved, Cheng Yaojin was a little bored, so he waved his hand and the patrol guards continued to march, leaving only the two of them standing side by side.

There was no one around, and Cheng Yaojin stopped talking nonsense and said, "You don't have to worry about Cui Yuzheng. There are not many people in the Cui family who know about Cui Yuzheng. Most of the people in the Cui family, like your aunt, think he died of illness more than ten years ago. The old men who know the news will not make it public and will sniff out after they have a broken teeth. This matter can be mixed up, but there is one thing that you can't hold on now."

"Oh?" Li Mu asked knowingly: "What's the matter?"

"Don't pretend to be confused with your understanding!" Cheng Yaojin ignored Li Mu's face and directly told him: "Cui Yuyan was exiled to Qiongzhou in name, but he appeared in Miaojiang. This matter cannot be said explicitly, and it can be considered a loss to one. But if you kill Cui Yuyan, he is the only seed of the Cui family in Boling. If the only seed dies, can the Cui family not react at all? The news reaches Chang'an, and they will immediately expose you and Wang Ou."

Cheng Yaojin lowered his voice and laughed: "So the government and the country have been rumoring these days, saying that Your Majesty does not eat or drink, not because of the King of Qi, but because of you." As he said that, Cheng Yaojin picked up his thumb and said: "Boy, you have you. You have been the number one figure who has robbed the emperor's women throughout the ages."

"Wu." Li Mu said angrily: "It's all about catching things. Who saw it with his own eyes? Now Wang Ou is my wife. Who is spreading rumors is just not able to get along with me. When I really turn against you, my relatives don't recognize you."

"Okay, I won't say it anymore." Cheng Yaojin didn't doubt Li Mu's words at all. Now the two money trees in the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all followed Li Muma. He is the God of Wealth in the Tang Dynasty, so who dares to offend him?

Perhaps the Cui family in Qinghe and Cui family in Boling dared, but they were a thousand-year-old family, and they were free channels for supply and marketing. For example, the smuggling routes to Tubo must have at least seven or eight. According to rumors, the five surnames and seven sects had already had maritime trade, but they were just not talking to others.

But new nobles like Cheng Yaojin have no such ways. They have much more hope for the Office of the Internal Affairs and the Office of the Foreign Affairs than the Five Clans and Seven Sects. This is why Li Mu is not worried about the reason why Cheng Yaojin will turn against him. After all, Cheng Yaojin's surname is Cheng. Even if his wife is Cui from Qinghe, it is not Cheng Yaojin's style to turn her home into it for the sake of outsiders.

"I'll say something more." Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold it in, and added: "Now that Chang'an City is in full swing. Although it's generally said that you are capable. The censor can't hold on to your handle. But you have to consider Your Majesty's thoughts. Even if he doesn't say anything, this matter will be buried in his heart and make him unhappy. He is the emperor, can he hold it in his life for a lifetime? You still have to think of a way to block Youyou's mouth first."

"I know what I know, let them talk for two days first." Li Mu said calmly: "Don't let them say it, how uncomfortable it is to hold it in? I just happened to see who said he danced the most happily. After cleaning up a few, the others stopped."

Cheng Yaojin didn't say anything, looked at Li Mu carefully, and curled his lips.

He didn't believe that Li Mu had this strength, but was thinking that Li Mu's tone now was very different from that a few months ago. It seemed that his kindness had become much less, and his sense of decisiveness was even more serious than before.

"Have Wang Ou told you that many industries in the Cui family in Qinghe are actually related to Cui Yuzheng?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "We are a couple, why did she hide it from me? What's wrong? The Cui family asked you to ask me? Don't worry, I don't plan to invade their industries. I will give them all the amount of them."

"Uh--" Cheng Yaojin seemed a little hesitant, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Actually, that's not the case. Uh, that Wang Ou didn't tell you anything else?"

Li Mu looked at Cheng Yaojin strangely and said, "What else is there? Just say it just by saying it. It's meaningless to go around."

"Okay, just say it." Cheng Yaojin also felt that it was not in line with his personality, so he said bluntly: "Simply put, that's it. The Cui family in Qinghe has several branches. Cui Yuzheng is the eldest son and grandson. When he was alive, his family was the dominant family. Each branch and each house listened to his business. He took the lead in doing business and other things. Then he invested in each house and gave him the distribution."

"Now Cui Yuzheng has suddenly died, and each room has lost its backbone, of course, everyone is going to take care of their own. They all want to eat the fattest fat meat, and they are almost fighting."

"Is there an internal strife?" Li Mu said strangely: "Is this kind of thing a thousand-year-old family like the Cui family in Qinghe? Can't it be exempt from the common people?" Li Muhui was puzzled by this. He felt that a thousand-year-old family like the Cui family in Qinghe should have their own rules in terms of property distribution and inheritance rights. If there are no rules, how can it be passed on for thousands of years?

"It wasn't that way," Cheng Yaojin explained: "If you want to blame, you can only blame Cui Yuzheng for being too domineering. He was stubborn and self-righteous in his work. All accounts were not fully disclosed to each house, so that for a transaction, each house did not know how much the shares his family occupied."

"Cui Yuzheng is dead, and the account book is gone. The houses gathered to report the accounts. They all said that they had a lot of possession and others didn't recognize it. Wouldn't this be done?"

Having said that, Li Mu understood what it meant. He glanced at Cheng Yaojin and said, "Uncle wants an account book?"

Cheng Yaojin rubbed his hands and said, "It's not that I want it, it's my father-in-law. He asked me to bring you a message. If I could give the account to the Cui family's house, Cui Yuzheng's affairs would be treated as nothing had happened. They would also come forward to take care of Wang Ou's affairs, protect her face and make arrangements for you."

Li Mu was a little moved. After all, he still had no intention of occupying the Cui family's industry. Otherwise, using this account book can do a lot of things, and taking advantage of the troubled waters is just the second. The point is that he can easily use this account book to completely split the Cui family in Qinghe. The Cui family can recognize this loss and ask Li Mu to hand over the account book. This reason is the big deal. After all, even a fool understands that the complete Cui family in Qinghe is a five surname and seven sects. The split Cui family in Qinghe is at best a local clan. After a level is out, it is likely that it will not be able to catch up for several lifetimes.

Li Mu heard Wang Ou mention the account book once, but he didn't take it seriously, because he subconsciously felt that this kind of account book should be available in each room, and underestimated Cui Yuzheng's domineeringness. In fact, Wang Ou didn't know the details. After she followed Mrs. Lu and had her own industry, the Cui family's industry had not been much concerned.

"This matter--" Li Mu almost agreed, but when he spoke, he calmed down again and said, "I'm not very clear yet. I'll see my wife back and ask me before I talk about it."

Cheng Yaojin observed his expression and said, "What the Cui family means, if you are willing to help this, Chang'an's grain store can give it to you."

Yo, there are any unexpected gains?

Li Mu was a little surprised. He knew what Cheng Yaojin said. It was not a matter of a grain store, but also included a line for transporting grain. How much is the grain store worth? A storefront and a warehouse. This thing is not something that can be done, but if it is a business, it will be different. If he could get the Qinghe Cui family’s grain store, at least the situation would be relieved by half.

If you want to say this, Li Mu felt that he could not agree easily. Obviously, this is not the bottom line. If you are talking about business, Cheng Yaojin is the role of an intermediary. How can an intermediary not give a commission? If you want to express your sincerity, at least the main person must come forward, right?

He said without comment: "It's such a big deal, so I can't wait for me to come back from Qizhou, and everyone will have a conversation in person."

Cheng Yaojin nodded and said, "I will set up a table at that time and let's sit down and chat."

He didn't expect that he could make the matter come true. Li Mu had never suffered a loss in doing business. If Cui's eldest son did not produce some blood, it would be impossible for Li Mu to achieve his goal.

When he arrived at the gate of the imperial city, Cheng Yaojin stopped his horse and said, "I received the news that the Cui family of Boling wants to be against you. If you speak out, who can kill you? Give you ten thousand taels of gold. There are quite a lot of capable people in the world, so you must be careful."

"There is no damn life, and the damn life cannot die. If they think that Li Mu's head is worth this price, they can take it away. But please ask my uncle to tell me a word, if anyone dares to touch my family, even if it is just a hair, I will slaughter his family and destroy his nine clans, whether it is male, young, female, or children, or chicken or dog. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."

After Li Mu said that, he bowed farewell. Cheng Yaojin stared at Li Mu's back in a daze, tskated, and turned the dock and went back.

...

Li Mu returned to Feng Qiuhuang in Jingdong Ji for a night. The next day, he changed his clothes, packed up, and came to the Ministry of War to connect with Hou Junji.

"The gate, I ordered Li Mu to be the general who suppressed the rebellion, and to take charge of the three guards of the prince, and immediately take up his post. I hope you will be loyal to the country, report to the country, and provide peace to the people. Don't let down the grace of the people! The book is as good as the right hand, and the talisman is to be followed." Hou Junji read out the imperial edict and handed it to Li Mu. This was the first time Li Mu received such an order to appoint a general. He opened it and saw a string of seals from the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat

"This is the tiger talisman for the dispatch of troops. You have put it away." Hou Junji took out a sandalwood box, opened it to Li Mu and took a look, then closed it and handed it to him.

With this tiger talisman, the general who suppressed the rebellion was considered to have real power.

Li Mu put away the imperial edict and the tiger talisman. Hou Junji invited Li Mu to sit down and said, "This time, your Majesty originally wanted me to lead the troops to fight the rebellion-" Hou Junji wanted to explain a few words, but Li Mu waved his hand to stop him, and said, "The general doesn't have to explain anything. "The gate, appointed Li Mu as the general to suppress the rebellion, and assisted the prince's three guards, and immediately took office. I hope you will fulfill your duties and loyalty to the country. Report to the country and provide peace to the people. Don't let down the grace of the holy people! The book is as good as the right, and the talisman is to be followed." Hou Junji read out the imperial edict and handed it to Li Mu. This was the first time that Li Mu received such an order to appoint a general. He opened it and saw that the seals of the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat
