"Afraid?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, "How do you write the word fear?"
City Lord Ling saw that Mu Yunjin was still arrogant, and a trace of anger appeared on his originally calm face. He flicked his sleeves, "I don't know what to say!"
After finishing speaking, a group of guards rushed to the side of the street.
Walking in front of City Lord Ling, one of the leading guards stroked his body respectfully, "Master City Lord, is someone committing murder in the street?"
"Here, it's this girl." City Lord Ling gave Mu Yunjin a look.
Seeing this, the guard glanced at Mu Yunjin, then at the body of the guard on the ground, and at the injured Lord He, and waved his hand, "Come here, take me away!"
"It's just a matter of going to the Yamen to talk to the magistrate about the replacement of the city lord." Mu Yunjin crossed her arms, smiled calmly, and glanced coldly at the city lord Ling.
When City Lord Ling met Mu Yunjin's gaze, his heart shuddered, and a guilty conscience flashed inexplicably.
…
After a while, the yamen office.
Mu Yunjin walked in through the door, and couldn't help sighing slightly, even she was a little helpless, after a good shopping, why did she toss herself into this kind of place again.
No matter where she went, there was never a moment of peace.
I really convinced myself.
But today, it seems that she is not to blame, it was He Gou who came up to provoke her, and she was just protecting herself.
It's not like she caused trouble on purpose.
In the lobby of the yamen, Li Zhifu, who had already been notified, was sitting in the lobby. After seeing City Lord Ling who was walking in the front, he sat up and said politely, "Listen to the report from the guards, the city lord was assassinated in the street? "
"Well, that's right, but Ling was lucky to have a loyal guard who blocked Ling, and Ling was able to live until now, otherwise today may be a disaster." Ling City Lord said.
"Then this matter is serious. Who dares to assassinate the city lord in the street?" Li Zhifu said angrily.
"It's this little girl." City Lord Ling stepped forward and pointed to Mu Yunjin behind him.
Hearing this, Li Zhifu looked intently at Mu Yunjin who was behind City Lord Ling, and when he saw Mu Yunjin's face, he gave a surprised cry, then thought he was wrong, rubbed his eyes again, and looked carefully. past.
After a long while, Li Zhifu slapped his thigh, walked down, walked in front of Mu Yunjin, bowed to Mu Yunjin, and bowed to Mu Yunjin, "I don't know that the nobleman is here, so Li is far away to welcome you."
"Yo, do you recognize me?" Mu Yunjin was somewhat curious about Li Zhifu's sudden change of attitude.
"It's natural, the young one still has some friendship with the noble's father." Li Zhifu said, and made another bow to Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin saw that the situation was so reversed, so she was not polite at all. She sat aside, crossed her legs, and pointed at Mr. He who was helped into the door, "This person flirted with me in the street, saying that he wanted to accept me as the eighth room concubine. , is still kicking over the small stalls of ordinary people on the street, what does the magistrate say?"
"There is also this City Lord Ling, who not only shielded this dog man, but also said that he would throw me out of the city. How will this be settled?"
"Is the threshold for selecting a city lord in Heyue City very low? Any cat or dog can be elected?"
Mu Yunjin's series of taunting words made City Lord Ling angry. When he was about to curse, he was stopped by Zhifu Li, who then spoke a series of words in City Lord Ling's ear.
City Lord Ling, who was originally full of anger, showed horror after hearing what Li Zhifu said, and immediately fell to his knees in front of Mu Yunjin with a plop.
"I don't know how offended you are when you come to Heyue City, please forgive me!" City Lord Ling pulled the corner of Master He's clothes and pulled Master He down to his knees.
"My lord, how do you think we can solve this matter?" Li Zhifu stood aside, leaned over to Mu Yunjin, and spoke cautiously.
Mu Yunjin slightly hooked the corners of her lips and raised her eyebrows, "I came here alone today, and my husband didn't know that someone wanted to take me in as the eighth concubine. This Heyue City is under your jurisdiction, Governor Li. You Let's have the final say."
Hearing Mu Yunjin mention the word husband, Li Zhifu and Ling City Lord's complexion changed.
Afterwards, without waiting for Li Zhifu to speak, City Lord Ling took the lead and said to the guards on the side, "Come here, drag He Hu, a thief who commits all kinds of crimes and oppresses good people, out and beat him to death with sticks!"
"What, what?" Master He thought he had heard it wrong, and stared at City Lord Ling in surprise.
As soon as the words fell, several guards came running, one left and one right, trying to drag Mr. He out of the door.
Master He immediately reacted. Seeing that Ling Cheng was going to push him out to kill him, he immediately pointed at Ling Cheng and cursed, "Ling Kun, you bastard! I have searched a lot of good things from the people on weekdays, but they are the first Take it to you and share it with you for a while, you have taken so many benefits from me, and now I am a thief?"
"Hey, Master Zhifu Mingjian, all these years when I was young, I dared to walk sideways in this Heyue City because of Ling Kun's instruction."
"You..." Ling Kun looked a little unnatural, "What nonsense are you talking about? After all, I am the Lord of River Moon City, so I wouldn't expect you to share good things with me!"
"Drag them out and beat them to death!" Ling Kun said.
After the words fell, He Hu was dragged out by several guards. After a while, the sound of sticks and He Hu's screams came from outside.
After a while, He Hu's screams stopped.
When Li Zhifu heard that He Hu had stopped calling, he bent down and looked at Mu Yunjin again, only to see that Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, seemingly unmoved by He Hu's death.
"My lord, do you think this matter has settled down?" Li Zhifu asked cautiously.
"Calm down?" Mu Yunjin sneered, "There's still one person who hasn't been killed, how come the calm down!"
Li Zhifu and Ling City Lord were startled at the same time, knowing what Mu Yunjin meant, Li Zhifu said timidly for a while, "Ling City Lord was appointed by the emperor, if there is no emperor's order..."
Li Zhifu spoke halfway, but didn't say anything, and let Mu Yunjin express it by himself.
"That's it." Mu Yunjin pursed her smile, and her gaze fell leisurely on City Lord Ling.
After hearing Li Zhifu's words, City Lord Ling suddenly knew that he had the court's support behind him, so he couldn't help building up his courage, and forced a slightly smug smile at Mu Yunjin.
"If that's the case, then I have no choice but to go back to the palace and report to my father. After all, as a daughter-in-law, I have suffered a lot in this Heyue City. I think my father will also make decisions for me."
Mu Yunjin said "Father Emperor", and glanced at Li Zhifu and Ling City Lord, she would not give in to today's matter no matter what.
When the two of them heard the title "Father Emperor", their feet softened, and they almost forgot that after Mu Yunjin married Chu Li, she also wanted to call the emperor "Father Emperor".
Li Zhifu even scolded himself secretly, even thinking of moving out of the emperor to suppress Mu Yunjin, but they are a family, how can they help outsiders.
It seems that Ling Kun is going to be in bad luck today!
Forget it, this Ling Kun relied on the name appointed by the emperor to do nothing in Heyue City, and he has been domineering for a long time, now it's time to take care of it.
"Prefect Li, now City Lord Ling is conniving bullies, oppressing people, taking bribes, will you try or not? If you don't try, I will go back to the city and report to Dali Temple, and Master Chen of Dali Temple will accept the case." See Li Zhifu seemed to have made up his mind, and Mu Yunjin followed suit.
Hearing this, Li Zhifu naturally knew that Mu Yunjin had given him a step down, and if he didn't follow the steps now, wouldn't he be really stupid.
So he just said, "Come here, go to the city lord's mansion first, and bring the account statement of the city lord's mansion. This official must check this matter carefully! If what the sixth prince and concubine said is true, we will never tolerate adultery."
"That's wrong. I'm a passing girl, not some concubine of the Sixth Prince." Mu Yunjin reminded Li Zhifu that her identity was exposed.
Li Zhifu immediately understood and nodded.
…
After half an hour.
"boom-"
Li Zhifu checked out the bills brought by the guards one by one, threw them in front of Ling Kun, stared and roared, "Ling Kun, please explain carefully! Why did half of the silver that was allocated to build the bridge go into your warehouse?" ?”
"Why did you report five thousand taels of silver when there was a flood in the city two years ago? Why did you only report two thousand taels?"
"Where did the rest of the silver go?"
Li Zhifu slapped the table angrily, never expecting that after passing through Ling Kun's hands, there were only so many silver taels allocated from above.
Fortunately, two years ago, he still felt that the royal family must not reuse the city of Heyue City, otherwise so many people would not be affected by the disaster, so he only sent two thousand taels for relief.
It turned out that this villain, Ling Kun, was playing tricks!
"My lord, I don't know about that either." Ling Kun denied it categorically, and reached out to wipe the beads of sweat rolling off his forehead, looking somewhat embarrassed.
I really didn't expect that all the things I had concealed for so many years would be revealed today.
Moreover, she fell into the hands of the cowardly and ignorant Mu Yunjin in the rumors.
Thinking of Mu Yunjin, Ling Kun thought, no, just now on the street, this woman obviously knew martial arts.
But Miss Mu San, who is soft and delicate, how can she know martial arts
No, this woman must be a fake!
After thinking about it, Ling Kun ignored Li Zhifu's questioning, pointed at Mu Yunjin's, and bravely asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to pretend to be the sixth concubine?"
"It is impossible for the sixth concubine to know martial arts, but you easily killed my guard and injured He Hu just now. Who sent you here?"
Hearing Ling Kun's words, Li Zhifu only felt that Ling Kun was dying before death, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
He had seen the woman in front of him before, she must be Miss Mu San, she was right, her appearance and demeanor were definitely right.
"Don't hang around with me, no matter how much you hang around, you will die today!" Mu Yunjin smiled softly, leaning on the chair, gradually becoming a little impatient.
Seeing that Mu Yunjin was upset, Li Zhifu was afraid of offending this little ancestor, so he slapped the table, "Come here, take Ling Kun into the cell first."
"After I report the evidence of Ling Kun's embezzlement to the emperor, I will wait for the emperor to make a decision!"
After speaking, Ling Kun was dragged out.
The hall became quiet for a moment, Li Zhifu sighed, and looked at Mu Yunjin, "Prince and Concubine, are you satisfied with this?"
"Yeah." Mu Yunjin nodded slightly, "It's not that I'm meddling in other people's business, Ling Kun's stolen money should be used to appease the people of Heyue City."
