Bai Qiaoqiao is pregnant and should not be disturbed. The interrogation was not carried out in the courtyard, but dragged it into the woods far away from the courtyard. No matter how dead or alive, they were tied to trees, tied to one tree, letting them wail.

Li Mu brought his rocking chair over, lay on the rocking chair, half-squinted his eyes, looked at the group of people through the moonlight, thinking in his mind what to do next.

He really didn't expect the episode that happened tonight. His original plan was like he said to Li Shimin, first hinting at Wang Gui, making him think that he could pass the budget difference of the Ministry of War, first make a move, then make an assassination scene, take the opportunity to turn against each other, and then liquidate the imperial property, and transfer all the fields with land deeds into the imperial property. Isn't there a saying that "Is it the king's land within the world?" The big hat made these old Kaizi have nothing to say.

Of course, we still have to talk about it in the end, how to talk about it? Let each step back, of course we have to plant the fields for them, otherwise where will the food come from? But we must first make it clear that the land belongs to the country and the imperial property. If you plant it, it is rented, and you must rent it. Moreover, the Ministry of Internal Affairs still has the power to take it back after the agreed period.

This is Li Mu's ultimate goal. Even if he fails to achieve one-third of the goal, he will be satisfied, because this matter is impossible. He is just taking one step at a time and striving to maximize his interests.

But what happened today gave him a greater opportunity.

Whether the assassination is true or not, it shows that some people in this group of clans can't help but want to take action first. The best thing is that Li Shimin was also involved and was injured! In this way, the seriousness of the matter is not the same.

If Li Shimin was not here, he was the only one who assassinated Li Mu's personal attempt. As an emperor, Li Shimin might have considered a lot and would not punish the clans. At most, it would be just a reprimand. This is the balance of the emperor, which Li Mu could understand.

But today Li Shimin was injured, which is not something that can be explained by the struggle between the ministers. Are these assassins really just for Li Mu? Li Mu doesn't believe that Li Shimin will not have any imagination! The opportunity lies in this. Regardless of whether these assassins are coming completely for themselves, what Li Mu needs to do is to bring Li Shimin with him. As long as he brings him, it will be disrespectful to the imperial power and provoke the imperial power by the aristocratic family. As an emperor, it is absolutely impossible to allow such a thing to happen. No matter what Li Shimin thinks, whether he is willing to take risks, he must have an attitude!

In this way, there will be more work to do.

Now is the early Tang Dynasty, the foundation-foundation period of a country. What does this mean? It means that everything can be pushed back. Although there are resistances, it is not a problem. Because the person who has just experienced a great chaos and can finally win in this chaos, that is, the imperial power today, has absolute strength. Throughout history, there are few regimes that were overthrown at the beginning of their founding. This is the reason.

In other words, with the current strength of the imperial power, whether it is a clan, aristocratic family, or local clans, they are not opponents of the imperial power.

Li Shimin was afraid of aristocratic families, and wasn’t really afraid of them. What was there to be afraid of? They were just defeated generals. What he cared about was who would govern his country after killing all these people, which was the most important question.

If Li Mu could give Li Shimin a prosperous future, he would not mind killing some disobedient people.

Li Mu tapped the handrail and thought in his mind. Suddenly he heard footsteps coming from behind him. He looked back and saw a group of people coming in a hurry. The person in charge was Sangou who he specially sent to find. Behind Sangou was his gang of prisoners. If the Marquis of Zhulu was summoned, there would be a heavy reward. Who would not come?

Sangou's eyes were shining. He knew that his chance had come. Last time he proposed that Li Mu set up a prison exclusive to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he failed to get permission. This time Li Mu asked him to interrogate the assassin. If he could find out something, the chance of this would be high.

"Mr. Marquis!"

Li Mu nodded, pointed to the person tied up on the tree, and said, "Four dead, I want to know who they are, six living, and no one can die. I want to know why they assassinated Your Majesty and understand what I said?"

Obedient and listened to the voice. Sangou followed Li Mu for a long time, and obviously learned a little. Li Mu's words meant to remove him. The target of these assassins was the emperor. Whether it was right or not, they had to be made into yes! This is the confession he wanted.

"I understand."

"Be careful, no one can die."

After reminding Li Mu stood up, shook his head and sighed, "I am a kind-hearted person and I can't stand cruel things. Try to make less noise. Be busy, be busy..."

After saying that, Li Mu turned around and left. Just as he walked less than ten steps, a scream came from behind him.

Li Mu shrank his neck and accelerated his pace.

After coming out of the woods, Li Mu saw that the valley was full of torches, and the torches were connected together, as if fire dragons were circling in the valley. There were really many people coming! Li Mu admired it with his hands behind his back for a while, and a team of cavalry came to him, and the leader dismounted and bowed: "Report to the Marquis, I am the personal guard under the Duke of Su Guo to protect the Marquis."

"Go and guard my small courtyard. Now there are soldiers in the valley, so my marquis' safety is safe."

"This..." The captain hesitated and didn't know how to answer correctly. Li Mu smiled and said, "I will go to see your father-in-law. Can't you take someone to protect my family?"

"Abide by the order!"

The lieutenant divided four people and one horse to escort Li Mu to see Cheng Yaojin. He led the remaining people to Li Mu's courtyard, and did not dare to enter the door, so he dispersed the soldiers and surrounded the courtyard with airtight. Each of them picked up bows and arrows, and as long as an unknown person approached, they would immediately turn into a hornet's nest.

Li Mu met Cheng Yaojin by the river. He was ordering his soldiers to cook rice. Seeing Li Mu, Cheng Yaojin took off the iron helmet above his head, exposed his head, and said with a smile: "Nephew, this time he is a big deal!"

"Does my uncle think it was arranged by me?" Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "If only I had arranged it, there were really thieves!"

"Really?" Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "Who is so brave that he dares to assassinate you?"

"It's not me!" Li Mu corrected seriously: "I am a businessman, and it is my duty to be kind to others. Who do you think I'm too embarrassed? These thieves are rushing to your descendants. They have ulterior motives, and they have an ulterior motive!"

Cheng Yaojin blinked his eyes, "Suddenly realized", and focused his attention, and said, "It's the extreme, they have an ulterior motive. Your Majesty has handed you the responsibility for the investigation?"

Li Mu sighed, "Uncle, do you think I want to take on this errand? I can't help but shit it out!" As he said, he sighed again, "Your Majesty is angry, Long Yan is furious! The emperor is angry and blood flows. This time, it seems that some people will die, otherwise your Majesty will not be able to explain it."

Cheng Yaojin is a good supporting actor. When he heard this, he had already learned about the matter. Regardless of whether Li Mu was doing this, it is certain that he had already unified the front with Li Shimin. Li Shimin handed over the matter to him, which was to acquiesce him to do something in it. This time, the person involved in this matter, whoever dies and lives, is in his mind.

Cheng Yaojin himself had no worries. If something happened, Li Shimin ordered him to protect him, which explained everything. No matter what happened this time, he could not find his old Cheng's head, and he was happy to see others' unlucky.

What he is more concerned about now is what Li Mu is going to do this time, whether the Cheng family can catch another fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to pick up some benefits.

Cheng Yaojin looked around and waved his hand, and said, "You all go to patrol there, I have important matters with Zhulu Hou."

All the lieutenants responded and left ten feet away. Cheng Yaojin lowered his voice and said, "Nephew, since you entered Chang'an City, I have been standing by your side. No matter who your opponent is, I have always spoken for you. You must admit it. WWW This time the matter is so big, I know you won't let it go, and you will have something to do."

Seeing that Li Mu wanted to deny it, Cheng Yaojin interrupted him and continued, "I don't ask you either. I can't understand you even if you say it. Remember, don't forget me, old Cheng. It's so difficult for me, I'm quite difficult!"

Li Mu was amused and cried, and said, "Uncle Cheng, can you stop pretending to be poor? I have known you for so long, but I only saw you earn money, but I don't know you spend money. If you don't say anything else, you will make a lot of money on the horse farm alone. What's the hard thing?"

"Why isn't it difficult for me?" Cheng Yaojin said with a serious look: "I have six sons, but the eldest son is smarter. I have let you get to Dingxiang. The remaining five sons are all stupid. I live, they can have some food to eat, and when I die, they will only have their old capital. Why don't I save more for them while I'm alive, maybe in a hundred years, there will be no Cheng family in Chang'an City! Besides, how do you know I don't spend money? There are hundreds of people in the Cheng Mansion, and I, the old guards and soldiers in my family, who are all supported? I support them all. You think everyone is like you, and there are only three people in the family, and there is no place to spend money on the streets?"

"That's what..." Li Mu grinned and wanted to refute, but there was nothing to refute. The fact was that. He suddenly discovered something. It seemed that the generals of this era were fulfilling their obligations, and regarded the veterans of their personal guards who had been through life and death with them as their own responsibility. Li Daliang, Li Ji, Li Jing, and Cheng Yaojin was the same.

Perhaps this is why those people are willing to work hard for them, and Li Mu is quite impressed with this.

There was also a lack of a broker. After thinking about it, Li Mu nodded and said, "As long as Uncle Cheng is the one who has it, I will hint at my uncle at the critical moment."

Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed: "That's all!"
