Wang Gui's tone was suffocated, he opened his mouth, and could not say anything. He sighed and said, "What's wrong with the crime you want to accuse? If the marquis said this, I have nothing to say."

"Look at what I said," Li Mu said unhappily, "It seems like I want to harm you. Lao Wang, do you know that if I hadn't tried my best to protect you, Your Majesty would have cut you all long ago."

Wang Gui snorted, saying nothing, but expressed his meaning very clearly and did not believe it.

"I don't believe it, right?" Li Mu snapped his fingers, Dugu Jiu came over and handed the Longquan sword to Li Mu. Li Mu raised the sword flat, hugged his hand to signal the torch closer, and said, "I see clearly, what is this?"

Wang Gui was disdainful at first, and after a closer look, his face changed immediately and murmured, "This is the Longquan Sword, Your Majesty."

Li Mu snorted, "I believe it now." He handed the sword to Dugu Jiu again, and sighed, "Old Wang, I'm not talking about you. The biggest problem of you family members is that they are small-minded. Not only are they small-minded, but they also judge others by themselves and by villain's heart. If you don't believe me, I will speak for you, right? If you can get through this disaster, go and ask Your Majesty, have I spoken for you? If you can't get through it, there is no need to know. OK, treat your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled his left and right to take Wang Gui down.

Wang Gui struggled violently. He didn't know whether he should believe Li Mu, but he knew that when he couldn't see Li Shimin now, Li Mu was the only life-saving straw. As for Eunuch Gao who interrogated the assassin in the woods, he was a eunuch. A wise lord like Li Shimin would not consider the eunuch's words.

"Mr.

Wang Gui finally made a decision. He didn't know where he got the strength. He pushed away the Jinyiwei who grabbed him, rushed to Li Mu, and grabbed his trouser legs. Li Mu was startled and said, "Why do you want to die with me, you are not repaired, you still have to take off my pants, come and pull him away."

The left and right Jinyiwei pounced on him like a wolf or a tiger, pulling Wang Gui away. Wang Gui struggled hard and shouted, "If the Marquis is willing to rescue him, the Wang family in Taiyuan is willing to follow the horse. Please think twice."

After shouting several times, Li Mu looked soft-hearted and waved his hand. The Jinyiwei retreated, and Wang Gui rushed over again. Li Mu lifted him up and said, "I am just soft-hearted. Since I was a magnanimous official, we will deal with each other. Although most of the time, you are shameless and have feelings and righteousness, if you say you died in vain, I feel a little apology in my heart, and I don't need to follow my head. Anyway, what you say now, you have to regret it after this time."

Wang Gui's old face turned red and he whispered, "Don't regret it"

"Don't say these useless words. After all, I am just a person who does things for Your Majesty. What's your fate with the Wang family in Taiyuan depends on what Your Majesty says. If he is relieved, there may be a turning point. If he is determined, I can't do anything. Now what I can do is to delay time and wait for Your Majesty to calm down. I promise this, you can go to rest with satisfaction. Maybe it's dawn, and Your Majesty will summon you."

Although Wang Gui couldn't grasp Li Mu's thoughts, he could not help but cry when he could hear these words. He held Li Mu's hand and said, "The Marquis is very kind and great, and it is hard to repay the marquis. I am already half-hearted and buried in the soil, and it doesn't matter whether I live or not. But the tens of thousands of legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegiti

"It's easy to say." Li Mu leaned into Wang Gui's ear and whispered, "Old Wang, now, I have to tell you something. Do you still remember that I once said in front of you and said that I have a third wife, who is a lady from a noble family."

Wang Gui was confused, completely unaware of what Li Mu meant by mentioning these things now, and said "Mr. Marquis"

"That, I don't hide it from you. My third lady is your niece."

Wang Gui blinked his eyes, thought of an outrageous possibility, and murmured, "It should be, it should be?"

Li Mu nodded with a smile, patted Wang Gui on the shoulder, and said, "We are relatives, I won't save you, who will save you?" As he said, his expression became cold, and he said, "I only told you about this matter. If it is leaked, I have a way to get out. You Wang, Taiyuan, are not sure."

Wang Gui hurriedly said, "I will never reveal a word."

"That's good." Li Mu waved to the Jinyiwei and sent Wang Gui, who had not recovered from his shock, away. Wang Gui turned around three times, but still couldn't believe that Li Mu dared to do such a thing, rob the emperor of women, and he would be desperate.

Dugu Jiu turned sideways and said, "Brother shouldn't have said this, it will become a handle."

Li Mu sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "What a person Wang Gui, how could he be fooled by a few words? If he didn't give him some reason and a handle, he wouldn't believe that I would save him. Don't worry, he wouldn't dare to say it out." After pausing, Li Mu asked again, "Where is Changsun Wuji?"

“Watch the interrogation in the woods.”

"Take him here."

Dugu Jiu nodded, and after a while, he brought Changsun Wuji over.

Changsun Wuji's face looked a little ugly, and he had just vomited. Li Mu hurriedly asked him to sit down, looking frowning.

Changsun Wuji calmed down and asked, "What's the matter with me?"

"Uncle Guo, in an extraordinary period, I will not go around the corner. From the theory of clans and family, we are relatives, and from Changsun Chong, we are not far from each other. I trust you, so I asked you to discuss it. You came over to the woods and saw those assassins. Although you only recruited one now, where they came from and whose family they belonged, I guess my uncle knew it. They can't resist for a long time, and they must have to confess before dawn. Now the difficulty lies in my straits."

Li Mu took out the Longquan sword and showed it, lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty asked me to kill someone, I."

Li Mu leaned closer to Changsun Wuji's ear, his voice lowered, and said, "I don't want to kill him."

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Why?"

"It's obvious." Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty is angry now. If I really kill you. When your Majesty gets angry one day, you see that the civil and military officials in the court are missing half, so you can't speak up to me. Besides, you forgot what I am doing. I am the Minister of the Interior Department. The Interior Department is still counting on these people to open. Kill them all, who will produce and who will transport them. How can the Interior Department collapse? Where does the money come from and have no money? Your Majesty still asks me. This is all tied up and tied up."

Changsun Wuji was still very cautious and thought for a while before saying, "Then you are going to save them, but Your Majesty is now in anger, how to save them."

Li Mu leaned forward and said, "I don't want to save the assassin. Of course, I can't save the power behind it. But the innocent people should not be implicated. They are killed. No one will work. Besides, I have a small plan. I think about it. Killing people cannot solve the problem, and it will not be worth the loss. It's better to take this opportunity to make a note, fill the treasury, and let all the aristocratic families get some blood."

As he spoke, Li Mu glanced at the left and right again, approached Changsun Wuji's ear, and whispered, "By the way, let those who are truly loyal to Your Majesty get a little sweetness."

There was something in the words, Changsun Wuji heard it, but he didn't dare to follow it, but he didn't follow it. He felt itchy again. After struggling for a while, he said vaguely, "Then what kind of person do you think is a person who is loyal to His Majesty?"

"That's it?" Li Mu did not give the answer directly, saying, "Before the assassin came, His Majesty was talking to me about a word, and he was quite moved."

"What word"

"The word "family and country." Li Mu suddenly turned a serious face and said, "Everyone is first and then country. I think it is not the case. For me, only if there is a country, there will be a family. Without a country, what does it mean to talk about when the family and country are destroyed will be destroyed. This is for your personal reasons. For Your Majesty, Your Majesty's family is the country, and the country is the family of Your Majesty. Therefore, only by managing the country well can you have a small family. For personal gain, it is human nature, but it cannot harm the country. Similarly, if anyone works hard to protect everyone, as a parent, you will naturally not treat it unfairly. When you get benefits, you must give priority to those who work for everyone. Do the uncle think it is fair?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Of course it's very fair."

"I understand the uncle, so I won't say anything more. Please rest with peace of mind. When your Majesty wakes up, I will fight for your Majesty to meet you. At that time, please advise your Majesty to relieve your Majesty and reveal my meaning to your Majesty. Killing people will not solve the problem. Who will work hard to kill? It would be a good deal."

Changsun Wuji did not say anything to death, but said, "I will do my best."

"Send uncle back to rest."

Li Mu got up and personally sent Changsun Wuji for a while before turning back. He looked at the sky and it was dawn for more than an hour. Li Mu lay on the rocking chair, covered a blanket, and took a nap.

Dugu Jiuze jumped onto a tree, sat on the branch, and narrowed his eyes while holding two swords.

There was screaming in the woods, but Li Mu was so tired that he couldn't care about it. When he fell asleep, he couldn't hear it.

It was bright and the valley became more lively. So many people were caught at night, but they could not starve them to death. They had to arrange for dinner. This was not a congratulations. Even if Li Mu had money, he would not be able to entertain them. Without a cook, he asked the chefs from the Tunwei to cook rice and make porridge for the bosses to drink.

Where can the soldiers' food be good? The thin porridge with clear soup and water made the big guys a bitter face. Except before the founding of the Tang Dynasty and when they fought in all directions, they had drunk the thin porridge? After filling the bowls of this bowl, they were filled with water and disappeared as soon as they were soaked. Many people protested.

Cheng Yaojin hid in his military tent and had just finished gnawing a sheep elbow. He heard the noisy sound outside, wiped off the oil from his mouth, crawled out of the military tent, cursed, "I think who has the face to say that if it weren't for you civil servants, they would have deducted the budget of the Ministry of War in a different way, would the soldiers live so hard? I'm just complaining, this is how they eat in the army. If they like to eat, they will starve to death if they don't eat."

With a shout, Cheng Yaojin hummed, turned back to the military tent, and then smeared another piece of dried meat, broke it apart and threw it into his mouth to chew it. He glanced at Li Mu next to him and said, "Boy, everyone outside drinks porridge. Are we a little unrighteous when eating meat here?"

"Uncle said very much." Li Mu reached out and signaled, saying, "It's better for uncle to go and drink porridge with them. I'll just be unrighteous, in the name of "Uncle's loyalty."

Cheng Yaojin threw the jerky meat into his mouth, took a sip of wine, burped, and said, "They took it upon themselves, I have no friendship with them."

Li Mu quickly picked up a quick note, "Uncle can see thoroughly."

As he spoke, a voice came from the door, "Marquis, the review has been completed, six confessions, signatures and seals are all here."

Li Mu was overjoyed and shouted, "Take it in."

Sangou came in and handed the confession to Li Mu with both hands. Li Mu threw a piece of beef jerky to him. Sangou put it under his nose and smelled it, and put it in his arms like a treasure. Beef is a forbidden item among the people, and there is no place to buy it even if you have money.

Cheng Yaojin deliberately turned his head and signaled to avoid suspicion and not to look at him, but Li Mu did not hide it from him. While flipping through, he recited, "Taiyuan Wang family, Xingyang Zheng family, Fanyang Lu family, Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, and Zhaojun Li family, okay, except for the Li family in Longxi, each of them is a coincidence." Li Mu handed the confession to Cheng Yaojin and said, "Uncle, are you a coincidence?"

Cheng Yaojin didn't look at it, and thought to himself, believing you, there is no such coincidence in the world. It must be your boy who did it, but the smart man wouldn't say that. He didn't express his feelings and said, "What a coincidence? This is because you have no experience. The thief is treacherous and intends to form gangs and want His Majesty to be afraid of it. This is a threatening act, and his heart is punishable."

Li Mu "suddenly realized" and said, "Uncle can see through it, why didn't I think it was? They must have thought, even if we were caught, what if the emperor could kill them all, can't these people be killed? These people are really damn, my uncle's eyes are like a torch. I must have reported that Your Majesty was my uncle who saw through their tricks and gave him some merits."

"Take down" Cheng Yaojin quickly waved his hand and said, "You kid, don't push me to the tank. My old Cheng's wife is the Cui family in Qinghe. I can't afford to offend me. Our Cheng family has always been neutral. I am loyal to Your Majesty. Before Your Majesty speaks, I have no attitude, don't involve me."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Just kidding, why are you doing so seriously?" Li Mu put the confession aside, looked at Sangou, and asked, "Is there any saying that the four dead?"

"Report to the marquis, one of them is Wang Zhi's junior brother, a man from the martial arts world. He is called Saner, and he doesn't know what his surname is. There are also two, who are gossip active in the land of Heshuo, and they are the last ones whom Wang Zhi hired a lot of money."

Sangou suddenly paused, Li Mu frowned and said, "I didn't ask."

"I've asked, yes, it's the sword and gun coach of the Prince of Yan's Mansion."
