According to the information written by Zheng Cunjian and Li Bing silently in the small black room of the Taibai County government office, this Ning Rushan had a bad temper, violent personality, cruelty, and would do anything to achieve his goals.
After Li Mu finished reading, he thought to himself and said, "Okay, there is nothing to do with you here. You can go back. If anything happens, I will contact you."
what is this
"Li Mu... Li Mu!"
Finally, he made a decision.
In Chang'an City, there may be many people with the surname Ning, but there is only one Ning Mansion, which is General Ning's Mansion located in the middle of Wuwei Street in Dongcheng District. Its owner is Wuwei General Ning Rushan. He has a hereditary title and his ancestor is Emperor Qin Guangwu. During the Eastern Expedition, a forward officer made great achievements, but was seriously injured and retired. When the capital of the Qin Empire moved back to Qin City, he did not go with the army, but stayed in Chang'an City.
"My subordinates resign."
No matter how prosperous the place is, there are places where the feasting and feasting cannot shine, such as this slum in Xicheng District.
Li Mu was a little surprised.
Li Mu opened it and found a piece of letter paper inside, which recorded in detail the whereabouts of Li's mother's three maids, Xia Ju, Qiu Yi and Dong Xue.
…
Li Xiong was familiar with the road and came to a steel room. When he stepped on the steps, a heavy metal door appeared. Next to the door was a platform with a green halo that was slightly larger than a palm. Li Xiong stretched out his hand and pressed it on the green platform.
After Li Xiong entered the passage, the metal door closed instantly.
Li Mu put away the letter and continued to arrange the formation in the yard.
"Sir, my subordinates will take their leave now."
Among the second-generation officials and rich second-generation people who followed Li Xiong to make trouble at Li Mu's residence today were Zhang Chuixue, the young master of Tianjian Martial Arts School, and Zhou Yu, the son of the president of Dafeng Chamber of Commerce.
…
He is in his forties this year. He has a slender figure, a face as white as jade, a black beard under his chin, and extremely regular facial features. Against the backdrop of his white uniform, he has an air of elegance and elegance all over his body. He is an absolutely handsome middle-aged man, young. At that time, he must be the kind of handsome person who fascinated a lot of nymphomaniac women. He was able to pursue Mother Li, the most dazzling flower among the golden flowers of the empire. Li Gang obviously had the capital.
Li Mu is not afraid that he will never come back.
Li Mu stood under the moonlight, thinking.
Heading towards the sixty steps, we were already three or four meters underground in Li Mansion. A corridor with glass walls appeared. Walking through the corridor, there was another light silver metal door in front of us. The level of metal forging was far beyond this. The level of craftsmanship in the world, next to the metals, there is another palm-sized platform, shining with light green light.
The mechanical voice sounded again.
Xia Ju was actually sent to Ning Mansion
"I asked you to cultivate your mother's energy. Why didn't your mother learn any of her skills? Instead, she became more and more irritable as she got older?" Li Gang looked at Li Xiong's angry expression and said dissatisfiedly: "What's going on? Tell me. "
In the carriage carriage, Li Xiong's face was full of ferocity, with protruding veins snaking around his face like poisonous snakes. He hit the carriage with both fists, and he was almost overwhelmed by the huge anger and humiliation.
Li Gang's face was calm and he was not angry: "How can you be so frizzy?" His tone was dissatisfied, but it was not a question. If it were anyone else who dared to break into the study like this, he would have been dragged down and beaten. Well, a few months ago, there was a new concubine who took advantage of Li Gang's favor and entered the study without notice. Li Gang, in a rage, ordered someone to kill her with a stick.
"Go ahead and take a look at me."
…
The metal gate opens.
Li Xiong breathed heavily.
Given the Ning Mansion's status in Chang'an City, why would they come to seize a little maid from Mother Li's side
Finally, he said: "Father, that evildoer not only humiliated me, but also didn't take you seriously at all. Leaving his post and coming to Chang'an Mansion without permission is a serious crime. He cannot be allowed to return to Taibai County alive, otherwise, even if When the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be endless troubles.”
Li Mu was confused and read all the information in the letter in one breath.
Very few people know what is in their backyard.
"If you don't leave, just stay in this courtyard."
Seeing the eldest young master come in, several masters stood up and left knowingly.
"Autumn is at [Tianjian Martial Arts Hall], while winter snow is at Dafeng Chamber of Commerce. What a coincidence?"
Li Mu's strong performance tonight made Li Xiong unbearable.
Suddenly, the study door was opened directly, and Li Xiong rushed in with a gloomy face: "Father, you must make the decision for me..." He broke in.
He has been calling the shots in Chang'an City for such a long time. He can be said to be the second prefect of the dark world, so it is not a shocking thing to have his own secret channels. Naturally, he is to express his love to Li Mu. loyalty.
After the last experience of setting up the [Tiangang Earth Evil Formation] in Taibai County Yamen, Li Mu has become more and more familiar with the formation. In such a small courtyard, there is no need to go to great lengths to arrange such a powerful formation. , everything is much simpler, he can handle it alone.
About half an hour later, Zheng Cunjian came back driving a carriage.
He found that he was not as good as Li Mu in every way.
"This is the information the young master needs." Zheng Cunjian handed over another envelope.
After sitting in Chang'an City for more than ten years, Li Gang has opened his own mansion in the city and has stopped living in the government office for a long time. Over the years, Li Gang has been working in Li Mansion for a long time, but the number of visits to the government office has become less.
He began to arrange it in the small courtyard.
"Li Mu, my mage, I will definitely make you die in an ugly way, as well as that old pig dog, those maids... I will make you suffer and blame yourself, and regret having offended me."
Li Xiong moved his eyes closer.
When Li Xiong saw his father's serious face, he swallowed everything he wanted to say, bowed glumly, then turned around and went out of the study.
As soon as I thought about this, my thoughts suddenly became clear.
"Xia Ju, imprisoned in Ning Mansion..."
The light from the incandescent lamp poured out from behind the door. Li Xiong was not surprised and walked in, shouting loudly, "Mom, I don't care, you have to say this for me."
"The villain used his own channels, so the prefect didn't know about it." Zheng Cunjian took the initiative to explain to Li Mu.
It's late at night.
Staying in this slum, if you want to ensure the safety of Mother Li and the maid, you have to do some more tricks.
The carriage was loaded with daily necessities, enough for ten people to use for five or six days.
Li Xiong told everything that happened tonight.
Li Gang listened patiently, without any change in his expression, and said, "I will handle this matter, and you don't need to interfere anymore."
The descendants of the Ning family have hereditary titles for generations. In this generation, the mighty general Ning Rushan has never produced a very powerful figure. The aura of his ancestors' achievements in the past has gradually dissipated. The Ning family has lost its power in the past, but in Chang'an City , can also be regarded as the number one person.
"Iris test passed."
After Li Xiong left the study, he walked through several corridors and passed several iron gates before arriving at the backyard.
He had no intention of keeping a low profile when he came this time, so what happened tonight. The prefect Li Gang would definitely know the news about his arrival. Li Mu was not very sure what actions this scumbag who had ruled Chang'an Mansion for more than ten years would take. Concerned, at most the soldiers came to cover up the water and earth, so even if Zheng Cunjian returned to the government office to report the matter, Li Mu would not be worried at all.
The meeting was interrupted.
Under the bright light, Li Gang was discussing something with several close aides.
Only a few people can enter the backyard of Li Mansion.
The carriage galloped and finally returned to Li Mansion.
Li Mu swept through the cold courtyard, the collapsed earth walls, the thatched huts in the yard, a well, and a few old trees. He felt a very strange feeling in his heart. This coldness was like burning the earth. The scene in the Lantern Temple is the same.
The black snake bowed and disappeared into the study like a ray of light.
"Next, I need to stay in Chang'an City for a few days and go out to find an inn. After all, it is difficult to know the root cause. After all, the scumbag prefect has been operating in Chang'an City for many years and it can be said that he has penetrated into every aspect. I personally don't have to worry, but mother With Sister Chuncao and the others..."
Still have to set up a formation.
Li Mu's eyes swept around the courtyard, and he gradually had an idea in his mind.
The metal door opens.
Suddenly, the five fingers of his right hand moved slightly, and a thick black mist, like a black snake coming from the underworld, snaked out from the tip of his index finger, wrapped around his wrist, and swallowed black mist. The letter comes to life.
Li Gang sat on the Taishi chair and was silent for a long time.
"Handprint detection passed."
Looking at the handwriting on the letter, some information quickly flashed through Li Mu's mind.
Behind the door is a metal staircase leading underground.
Li Gang is not asleep yet.
He has always been the most proud son of the prefect. He is also conceited and looks down on the evil offspring of that woman. Later, Li Mu ran away from home and did not return for eight years. He gradually forgot about his half-brother. , but when Li Mu came back, he was the youngest literary scholar and county magistrate in the empire, and he also had such powerful martial arts... This made the pretentious Li Xiong feel a huge blow.
Li Mu nodded and brought the carriage in.
Li Gang waved his hand: "Go to your mother. She has something to ask you. You are eighteen years old this year, and it's time to learn something. You can no longer bear the false reputation of 'the number one son of Chang'an City'. There’s nothing left to do outside.”
Since he came to Chang'an City, he has been favored by thousands of people. How has he ever been humiliated like tonight
Li Gang and his son were soon left in the room.
After Zheng Cunjian received Li Mu's order, he did not dare to neglect and immediately turned around and went out to do things.
A person who cherishes his life like Zheng Cunjian will definitely know what to do.
"But father..." Li Xiong wanted to say something else.
he said.
Zheng Cunjian's leg injury has basically healed at this time, but he still has the [Life and Death Talisman] in his body. Life and death depend on Li Mu's thoughts.
Not as good as an abandoned son
Zheng Cunjian turned around and left.
A mechanical voice sounded.
Night had completely fallen, and the city of Chang'an was shrouded in the cold light of the twin moons.
