Li Mu shook his head and said: "If Mr. Wang says so, please leave. Last time, I made it very clear that I will never get involved in the royal political dispute."
Wang Chen said: "Master Li, please listen to me. This time, it is not a fight for power, but to save people. I think you have also heard that the widow of the first Zhenguo general Tang Chong was assigned to the Jiaofang Division in Chang'an City. Poor Zhongliang died unjustly, and his wife and daughter could not be saved. My Highness wanted to rescue him, but was unable to do so. Therefore, I also ask Mr. Li to take action for the sake of Zhongliang and the orphans and widowers who have a miserable fate."
Li Mu was slightly startled.
Suddenly something dawned on him.
No wonder there were so many masters and troops looming in and out of Liufang Street tonight. It turned out that someone wanted to save the widow and orphan of General Zhenguo, so they secretly made arrangements.
Moreover, despite what Wang Chen said so easily, I am afraid that this so-called rescue activity has become the center of a whirlpool of fighting among many political forces. If Wang Chen wants to save people, there must be forces that do not want them to save people. , and the power of the obstructing party was obviously much greater, so Wang Chen had no choice but to ask him for help.
In this way, things get interesting.
Li Mu actually sympathized with the widow and orphans of General Zhenguo.
However, he still shook his head and refused directly, saying: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I'm sorry that I can't do anything."
Wang Chen's expression changed and he said: "Sir, can you really bear it that a good minister who has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty should just let his wife and daughter be reduced to a land of fireworks and never rest in peace under the nine springs?"
Li Mu didn't want to say anything more and just raised his hand to see the guest off.
Wang Chen obviously found it difficult to accept this result, and tried without giving up, saying: "Sir, this matter is just a piece of cake for you, why..."
"Mr. Zheng, see off the guests for me." Li Mu interrupted him directly.
Zheng Cunjian opened the private room door expressionlessly and said, "Mr. Wang, please."
Wang Chen's expression became excited and he said, "Is Mr. Li really indifferent?"
Li Mu turned back and looked out the window at the last famous prostitute who was performing on the main stage. It was obvious that he no longer wanted to say anything more.
"Unexpectedly, Mr. Li, you are so cold-blooded and ruthless. It was me, Wang, who misjudged you..." Wang Chen was greatly disappointed. Such a result was completely beyond his expectation. Based on his understanding of Li Mu's behavior style , originally he thought that Li Mu would definitely take action. Why would a passionate county magistrate who joined the Shennong headquarters for the sake of ordinary Taibai County villagers be indifferent to Zhongliang's subsequent plight?
"Mr. Wang, your provocation method is of no use to me, please go ahead." Li Mu waved his hand without looking back.
Wang Chen was finally invited out of the private room by Zheng Cunjian.
…
…
"Oh, did you refuse?" Princess Qin Zhen said expressionlessly.
Wang Chen's face was full of shame and self-blame, and he said: "I made a mistake in judgment. Alas, I misjudged the wrong person... This Li Mu... Alas, let's not mention it." He has always been the one who suggested to Princess Qin Zhen. , he can use Li Mu for his own purposes, and he has always said good things about Li Mu. This time, he also volunteered and boasted with certainty that he could definitely invite Li Mu to help him, but he came back in vain.
Until now, Wang Chen is still a little confused.
He thought he knew Li Mu very well and had paid special attention to and studied Li Mu. However, now, he was slapped in the face by Li Mu.
"Mr. Wang, there is no need to blame yourself." Princess Qin Zhen said calmly: "Instead of placing our hopes on others, it is better for us to find a solution ourselves."
In her heart, she was definitely not as calm as she seemed on the surface, and she couldn't tell exactly what kind of mood she was feeling.
Happy? One thing is that Li Mu's rejection proved her previous views and judgments about Li Mu.
disappointment? There is also a point, because before that, under Wang Chen's constant persuasion and the impact of various deeds about Li Mu, she actually had a little bit of expectations for Li Mu's character and humanity.
"It's all my fault for being too naive and placing my hopes on a misguided person. Now that things have come to pass, it has messed up His Highness's plan." Wang Chen blamed himself.
Princess Qin Zhen said: "The situation is not that bad. I hope General Tang's spirit in heaven can bless our plan to succeed."
Wang Chen nodded, thought of something again, was shocked, and said: "Li Mu, he won't... tell our plan to you, right?" He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Princess Qin Zhen shook her head and said: "No."
This is what her intuition told her.
And her intuition has always been very good.
…
…
The plan of Wang Chen and others is probably unlikely to succeed.
This is Li Mu's judgment.
Because through his eyes, he saw too many strong men lurking in the dark. They were obviously setting up an ambush, waiting for Princess Qin Zhen and others to fall into their trap.
Once a fight breaks out, Hua'er may be in danger.
Li Mu thought for a while, stood up, and said, "Go backstage."
He wanted to stay with Hua Xiangrong.
When tonight is over, he will help Hua Xiangrong redeem herself and leave the Jiaofang Division.
A moment later, under the leadership of Zheng Cunjian, Li Mu came to the backstage of the main stage and found Wen Shengzhai's tent.
Li Mu thought of something again, turned around, and said to Zheng Cunjian: "Go find the head of the Jiaofang Division, and help Hua Jia and Xin'er get out of their citizenship tonight."
"As ordered." Zheng Cunjian turned around and went to do it.
In his opinion, this matter is very simple. Even without using Li Mu's name, he can handle it with his own energy and status in Chang'an City.
Then, Li Mu knocked on the tent door and walked in.
"Brother Mu?" Hua Xiangrong was healing Xin'er. When she saw Li Mu coming in, she jumped up excitedly: "Why are you here?"
Only in front of Li Mu would this ethereal and fairy-like beautiful girl show such a little daughterly attitude.
Li Mu touched her hair and said with a smile: "Come and see my beautiful woman who can shock the world with her dance." The movements were a bit intimate. To be honest, after these days of contact, Li Mu gradually began to accept Hua Xiangrong. A beautiful woman who is as charming as a fairy from the Toad Palace, her heart is completely tied to her. Li Mu is not a plant, how can he be ruthless, how can he not be moved?
When a man chases a woman, there is a mountain between them; when a woman pursues a man, there is a veil between them.
Hua Xiangrong's tenderness and sweetness finally infected Li Mu and touched Li Mu's heart.
"Brother Mu..." Hua Xiangrong held Li Mu's shoulders and blushed a little emotionally.
Li Mu sniffed the fragrance of Yiren's hair, then his eyes fell on Xin'er's face. He saw a slap mark and said, "What's going on? Who bullied our Xin'er?"
Xin'er reluctantly recounted everything that had happened before.
She felt aggrieved not because she had been slapped, but because she felt that it was too much for the people of Yicui Pavilion to humiliate their subjects and fight for their own young lady.
"There is still such a thing. Don't be angry. I'm going to go to Yicui Pavilion and kill every one of them." Li Mu pretended to be angry.
"Ah, don't..." Hua Xiangrong stopped him quickly, but after looking at Li Mu's expression, he realized that Brother Mu was teasing him, and said softly: "Brother Mu, you are so bad."
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.
Generally speaking, what does it mean when a woman says you are good or bad?
He remembered some classic jokes from Earth.
While they were talking, the tent door opened, and Bai Xuan walked in angrily from the outside, saying: "It's so blatant, it's too much, it's too much..." As she spoke, she looked up and saw that Li Mu was there, He was suddenly startled and took back what he was going to say next.
"Master Li." Bai Xuan said quickly.
Li Mu said: "What happened? What's going on?"
Bai Xuan hesitated for a moment and said: "In the rankings of celebrities at the VIP table, Hua'er did not rank among the top three."
She held a ranking in her hand and handed it to Li Mu. What was written on it was the ranking of the scores of the thirty famous prostitutes in the celebrity rating section after the first round of performances. The number one ranked was Lu Hongxiu from Yicui Pavilion. , the second place is Si Yuhua from the Nephrite House, the third place is the famous prostitute Xue Rui from outside, and the charming Hua Xiangrong has just reached the 21st place.
Even the pigs of Jiaofangsi will understand after watching this performance that there must be something shady.
After combining the scores in the celebrity rating section and the flower basket score, Hua Xiangrong has just fallen out of the top three in the current overall ranking.
Someone is targeting Hua Xiangrong?
Li Mu frowned, anger rising in his heart.
Bai Xuan said: "The oiran competition held by the Jiaofang Division has always been fair, so it has a good reputation. The famous prostitutes and brothels in the surrounding states are also willing to participate. But this time, it is obviously fake. Someone wants to deliberately Suppress the flowers." She was very angry.
Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Master." It was Zheng Cunjian's voice.
Li Mu said: "Come in."
Just then Zheng Cunjian walked in with an embarrassed look on his face and said: "Liu Chenglong, the head of the Jiaofang Department, refused to go through the denaturalization procedures for Mr. Hua and Miss Xin'er." He thought this matter would go smoothly, but he was severely I hit a wall and said harsh words to no avail. Later I realized something was wrong and immediately sent someone to investigate, but no clear information came out.
"Liu Chenglong seems to have something to rely on." Zheng Cunjian said.
Li Mu thought for a moment and immediately reacted: "Second Prince."
The person who was secretly obstructing it was probably the second prince who looked like a polite and virtuous corporal.
Hua Xiangrong just said that Liu Chenglong, the head of the Jiaofang Department, came here, seemingly to help her and Xin'er, but in fact, he came to invite Hua Xiangrong for a so-called nobleman, and he said that this This noble man is a powerful being in the entire Western Qin Empire. There is nothing that this noble man cannot solve.
If what Liu Chenglong said is true, then this noble man must be the second prince.
Except for the second prince, no one can achieve such weight.
Even Li Gang, the local magistrate of Chang'an Prefecture, is still far away from this position.
In this case, it was the second prince who coveted Hua Xiangrong's beauty.
I really dare to think about it.
Li Mu snorted coldly in his heart.
