When Li Mu arrived at the gate of the county government, he was not as tense as he had imagined.

Xinxian Prime Minister Shufeng came out with a smile on his face and soldiers in black.

"Welcome Mr. Li Mu to return to the county government office."

Chu Shufeng smiled and showed great respect, showing the humility of a subordinate to his superior.

The soldiers behind him also saluted Li Mu.

Li Mu didn't look at him and walked directly towards the county government gate.

Behind him, Feng Yuanxing, Ma Junwu and Zhen Meng, accompanied by the doctor and carried by the jailers, followed Li Mu closely without saying a word.

The group of people also ignored Chu Shufeng.

It was as if the newly appointed county magistrate was a ball of air.

Chu Shufeng's expression changed and he felt a little embarrassed.

Soon, when he saw Ning Zhongshan and Li Bing being dragged behind the crowd like dead dogs, a ruthless gleam flashed in the corner of his eyes.

But he quickly covered it up.

When Chu Shufeng raised his head, his face had turned into the most sincere and humble smile.

He caught up step by step, followed Li Mu, and said with a smile: "I heard that your Excellency has returned, and the subordinates are already at the county government office, preparing everything. Mr. Zheng, the nobleman from Chang'an Mansion, also asked people to prepare a banquet. Master, wash away the dust and catch the wind."

Li Mu said nothing.

Chu Shufeng pressed his hot face against his cold buttocks, but he didn't think anything of it at all. He still smiled humbly, as if he was leading the way for Li Mu.

In the county government office, in every corridor and corner, there were soldiers in black armor standing in full armor.

The entire county government was guarded and blocked.

"This is the elite black armored army sent by the prefect to protect Mr. Zheng Cunjian. Mr. Zheng has a special status, so the prefect attaches great importance to his safety. Every armored soldier is selected from the main legion of Chang'an Prefecture [Chang'an Army] The best ones came out." Chu Shufeng said with a smile.

The implication is that the prefect attaches great importance to Mr. Zheng.

Li Mu still didn't speak.

Those elite and iron-blooded soldiers couldn't even attract the slightest bit of his attention.

This made Chu Shufeng, who was observing secretly, feel slightly angry.

Haha, let you be proud for a while. Soon, you will cry. You are just a reckless man like a barbarian. He still wants to rebel against God. Sooner or later, he will obediently fall into the big net that Mr. Zheng has opened for you. middle.

Chu Shufeng cursed in his heart.

But on the surface, he still restrained himself very skillfully and did not show any dissatisfaction.

Soon, I walked through the corridor and arrived outside the main hall of the county government's front yard.

About forty black-armored elites set up a welcoming formation, with swords and guns like a forest, and flags waving. They had an iron-blooded aura, which was much stronger than the black-armored soldiers who fled without fighting at the prison gate just now. There were too many, and every soldier exuded a cold aura that kept strangers away.

Many civil servants, big and small, in Taibai County stood in the yard, standing upright.

Li Mu's arrival caused a slight noise among them. They looked at Li Mu one after another with complicated expressions, but most of them had a kind of pity and even some gloating. Only a few of them looked at him. A little worried, but didn't dare to say anything.

At the entrance of the main hall, a scholar in brocade robes with a slender figure and handsome features stood with a smile on his face.

He was dressed as if he were hiding from the world. He was shaking a crane feather fan gently in his hand, and he looked like he was not stained by the dust of the world. Unfortunately, a red birthmark on his cheek ruined this look. His demeanor, as if he were living in isolation from the dust, made him look a bit sinister.

This person is none other than [Black-hearted Scholar] Zheng Cunjian.

Next to Zheng Cunjian, there stood a figure in green clothes with a handsome face and an extremely pale face. He was quiet and indifferent. He was the little book boy Qingfeng.

"Haha, I heard that Mr. Li has returned. The common people are finally waiting for you."

With a smile on his face that was as refreshing as spring breeze, Zheng Cunjian walked down step by step from the high platform at the door and saluted Li Mu, as if he was an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

Such a performance made Ning Zhongshan, who was dragged here by the jailer, confused and confused.

Weren't they looking for Li Mu, and had they agreed to kill this little Jinshi?

Why is Mr. Zheng so polite now?

He was shocked, suspicious, angry and resentful, but said nothing, waiting for the situation to develop. Sometimes, Mr. Zheng's methods were unpredictable, and he was afraid that he would say something that would disrupt Mr. Zheng's plan.

Feng Yuanxing and Zhen Meng, who were carried on the bed board, managed not to pass out. Seeing such a scene, they were secretly anxious. The true faces of Zheng Cunjian and Chu Shufeng were clearly understood by them that day. They were two venomous snakes, two venomous snakes that clearly had an unfavorable purpose against Li Mu.

But now, these two venomous snakes did not show their fangs and venomous letters, but showed smiling faces, giving people a more sinister and thrilling feeling.

However, in such an occasion, it was difficult for them to remind Li Mu again.

"Haha, I heard that Mr. Li is hunting down some martial arts scum, but none of them have been seen in the past few days, which makes me quite worried. Today, Mr. Li is back, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief," Zheng Cunjian smiled sincerely and sincerely. He came over, raised his hand to hold Li Mu's hand, and said as if he was meeting an old friend: "When I was in Chang'an Mansion, I heard that a great hero came out of Taibai County, with unparalleled fighting power. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true. The reputation is well-deserved, and the young man's heroic appearance is like that of a heavenly being..."

Li Mu glanced at him.

His eyes were cold.

Then, he looked coldly at Zheng Cunjian's hand, saying nothing, but his expression became even colder.

A ray of murderous intent burst out quietly.

Zheng Cunjian's body stiffened, and a chill rose from his tailbone.

He had an illusion that Li Mu at this time was like an ancient tyrannosaurus in anger. As long as he dropped his hand for no reason and touched Li Mu's body, he would be annihilated in an instant.

As a result, his palms could only freeze in mid-air awkwardly.

A sneer of contempt and disdain appeared on the corner of Li Mu's mouth.

He walked straight past Zheng Cunjian, walked up the steps, and came to Qingfeng's side.

The decent blue children's clothes are clean, the long black hair is neatly combed, the handsome face and slender white palms are also washed very clean, and there is a faint smell of orchid on his body. , except for the redness and swelling of the tightly closed lips and the pale complexion, the little book boy stood upright, and his whole body did not look like he had been tortured at all.

Li Mu felt slightly relieved.

The lines on his face finally softened a little, and he gently rubbed Qingfeng's hair.

After all, he is a child and has no status. It seems that these people from Chang'an Mansion did not embarrass him.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

The little book boy smiled, pursed his lips, and nodded.

"Where is Xiao Mingyue? Why don't you see her? Has she not returned to the county office yet?" Li Mu asked again.

The little book boy still had a smile on his face and continued to nod.

Li Mu frowned.

Mingyue hasn't returned to the county office yet?

That damn old beggar wouldn't break his promise and abduct this stupid lolita directly, would he?

Li Mu thought this, and saw that Qingfeng's lips were red and swollen, with bloodshot eyes, and a faint smell of medicine. It was obvious that he had applied gold sore medicine, and asked: "What's wrong with your mouth?"

"Oh, the little guy accidentally fell down the day before yesterday and hit the stone steps. He broke his mouth and knocked out a few front teeth..." Xin County Prime Minister Shufeng came over quickly and rushed to answer, and then He laughed again and said, "If you don't believe me, just ask Qingfeng."

Qingfeng smiled and nodded.

But Li Mu was already suspicious.

He squatted down, looked at the little book boy, raised his hand, and pinched the little guy's mouth.

The little book boy looked frightened and backed away.

"Don't move." Li Mu stretched out his hand and pulled up the little book boy's sleeves. On the crook of his arm, a shocking strangulation mark appeared. It was deeply cut into the flesh. The skin was completely ulcerated, almost exposing the lower body. Bones, Li Mu was shocked: "What... is going on?"

The little book boy lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

His body began to tremble slightly.

Beads of sweat fell down on his forehead.

His face became paler and paler, like a piece of white paper.

Li Mu could tell that it was because of pain.

Li Mu stabbed and tore off all the sleeves on the little book boy's arms.

At this sight, he took a breath of air.

A series of ferocious snake-like strangulation marks covered the two arms of the little book boy. The rotten flesh exuded a foul smell, which was previously covered by the faint orchid fragrance on his body. Therefore, Li Mu was furious. He tore open the little book boy's collar and saw that the little book boy's body was intricately covered with strangulation marks. His skin was chapped like a dry riverbed. It was shocking at first glance. .

Such an injury is really terrifying.

It's really hard to believe that Qingfeng can still stand here with a smile after suffering such a serious injury.

"What's going on? Who hurt you?" Li Mu asked in a deep voice.

Chu Shufeng on the side saw that the situation was not good and quickly said with a smile: "Master Li, there is a bit of a misunderstanding about this matter. He had a little conflict with a soldier..."

"Shut up."

Li Mu was furious, turned around, and shouted.

The shout was like thunder, as if a hurricane erupted from his mouth, hitting Chu Shufeng's chest. Amidst the clearly visible sound of bones breaking, Chu Shufeng screamed and was directly knocked away from the steps and fell out. rice.

Everyone in the entire courtyard felt as if a rolling thunder exploded in their ears, and their ears buzzed.

Zheng Cunjian's expression changed again and again.

Chu Shufeng got up, with a painful expression on his face. He stopped pretending and looked at Li Mu viciously.

Clang!

The black-clothed armored man pointed his spear and sword in Li Mu's direction.

Li Mu ignored it.

"Say." Li Mu turned around and stared at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng shook his head, stretched out his hand, and wrote in mid-air——

"I'm fine, there's no need to pursue it."

What he wrote down was this sentence.

"They forced you and didn't let you tell the truth, right?" Li Mu didn't know whether to be angry or moved, and said, "If my guess is right, someone must have told you that you can only protect yourself by keeping silent. Me, if I talk nonsense, it will probably bring me trouble, for example, I will be dismissed from office, imprisoned, beheaded, etc., right?"

Qingfeng raised his hand and wanted to write something in the air again.

But when he met Li Mu's eyes, he suddenly couldn't write anymore.

"I don't need your protection, especially in this way. Remember, remember, understand." Li Mu rubbed Qingfeng's hair, stood up, turned around, and said, "Doctor, come here and heal him. ."

The doctor agreed and ran over quickly.

Li Mu looked at Zheng Cunjian and others.

"Master Li, there may be some misunderstandings between us. I..." Zheng Cunjian wanted to say something else. The news from the prison made him realize that he might have underestimated Li Mu's strength, so he put on a show With such a stance, try to avoid head-on confrontation.

He is waiting for someone to arrive.

As long as that person comes, there is no need to be afraid of Li Mu.

However, Li Mu interrupted him directly.

"Kneel down." Li Mu said.

Zheng Cunjian was startled: "What?"

"Kneel down and speak." Li Mu looked at him: "What did you do to Qingfeng? Who gave the order and who touched the hand? Kneel down and tell me everything...I'm in a bad mood now. Kneel down so that I can control myself from chopping you up right now.”
