Great Swordsman
Chapter 253: Tongue Battle!
Li Mu is no stranger to literary prisons, such as one of the most famous literary prisons in his previous life: "Qingfeng is illiterate, so why flip through books randomly"!
He was accused of treason, and the evidence was that there were words of disrespect to the Qing court in this poem, so the owner of the poem was executed!
And compared to "Qingfeng is illiterate, why do you flip through books randomly", this "will be the top of the mountain, look at the mountains and small", seems to have more ambitions to dominate!
Li Mu looked at Zhang Ziyao with a gloomy expression. At this time, Zhang Ziyao lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, without saying a word, as if it wasn't him who spoke just now.
Knowing astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, reading a lot of books, and having a good head and poor scriptures, this is Zhang Ziyao's impression on Li Mu. Now, I want to add another one: Laoyin B!
It's true that a barking dog never bites, and a biting dog never barks!
This Zhang Ziyao hadn't had much contact with Li Mu all this time, and he was close to each other, but when they confronted each other in the first day of junior high school, they directly wanted to put Li Mu in a doomed place!
Its insidious and cunning level is even better than Chu Wang, Shu Wang, Mu Wentu and others!
Li Mu looked at the little emperor Ji Xuan, and found that his face was also gloomy.
Not good!
Li Mu secretly thought that something was wrong, and in a flash of thought, he quickly sent a voice transmission to the queen, asking her to find someone to uphold justice, so that he could take the opportunity to muddy the water!
Empress Qin Mengyao's phoenix eyes were slightly focused, and her eyes quickly swept across the ministers, and finally, she fell on Kong Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites!
At this moment, all the ministers who were 'caught off guard' by Zhang Ziyao's words finally came to their senses!
Ji Changqiu, who was ecstatic in his heart, scolded impatiently: "Li Mu, I didn't expect you to hide the intention of treason, you bully, haha, what else do you have to say!"
"To kill Ji Chen with Ling Jueding is to overthrow my dynasty with the surname Ji!" Yan Wang Ji Han thought deeply.
"Your Majesty, please kill Li Mu immediately, so as to make an example to others!" Grand Master Pang, who has always been with King Yan, said immediately righteously.
The King of Shu, Ji Hui, also hurriedly added insult to injury: "Your Majesty, please kill Li Mu immediately, so as to make an example of you!"
Most of the other palace masters of Jiutian Yingyuanshen Palace also asked Li Mu to be punished!
"Hey, why is this, why is this." Taibao Gongsunzhi shook his head and sighed.
Mu Wentu and Zhou Sheren looked at each other.
How could an innocent murder become treason?
Mu Wentu took a deep look at Zhang Ziyao, his eyes sparkled, but in the end, please punish Li Mu too!
At this time, the left minister Yao Yan, the right minister Jiang Yuange, and the Minister of War Lu Xiangsong stood aside like outsiders. From the beginning to the end, the three of them never opened their mouths, but just watched with cold eyes.
"Wait!" At this time, the third prince of Meng Yuan suddenly said, "Li Mu killed my nobleman of Meng Yuan, even if he wanted to kill him, he had to be killed by my people from Meng Yuan!!"
"Shut up!!" Ji Xuan suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, glaring angrily, and the vast power of dragon gushed out from his body again, suppressing Tian Yuan!
He stared at Li Mu with murderous intent, and was about to speak when Qin Mengyao, who was at the side, quietly reached out and grabbed him.
Sister Empress... Ji Xuan subconsciously turned around.
"Your Majesty, please be at ease." Qin Mengyao smiled slightly. She was already beautiful, but with a smile at this moment, she was even more charming!
Ji Xuan's heart suddenly calmed down.
He sat back on the dragon chair and stared at the audience coldly.
"Kong Shangshu, what do you think of this poem?" Qin Mengyao said quietly.
Thanks to the frequency of Li Mu's offending people, at least half of the ministers in the palace, who have enemies with Li Mu, accounted for at least half of them!
Under such circumstances, the only one who dares to uphold justice at the risk of offending the King of Chu and others is the Minister of Rites, Kong Yi!
"Return to your mother's words." Kong Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, walked out, cupped his hands and said, "If you just say this sentence, you really have a heart of disobedience, but looking at the full text of this poem, it should be Li Mu's broad-mindedness when he climbed Mount Tai. No rebellious heart!"
Qin Mengyao felt relieved: Although Kong Yi hates it, as long as it doesn't involve the Kong family, he is more fair in doing things!
Ji Xuan on the side frowned slightly. He savored the poem carefully, and found that it was indeed just a scene description, and had nothing to do with conspiracy.
His brows slowly opened.
"Kong Shangshu! You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately!" Seeing this, Ji Changqiu was anxious and angry, and hurriedly shouted: "You have to think about it before you speak!"
"Is His Royal Highness the King of Chu threatening me?" Kong Yi asked calmly.
Although he is just a minister of the Ministry of Rites and not as honorable as the prince, he was born in the Confucius family and is a descendant of Confucius!
The Kong family has gone through more than [-] years, and the dynasties have changed, but the Kong family has always stood firm and prosperous. How dare a mere prince threaten the Kong family?
I will lend you two guts! !
Kong Yi didn't pay attention to King Chu at all, and his calm posture made Ji Changqiu very crazy!
"Kong Yi, you rotten Confucian who only knows everything, you..." Ji Changqiu was about to vent, but was interrupted by Li Mu.
He's about to start stirring the water!
"Your Majesty, this humble minister is just a seventh-rank county magistrate, a small county magistrate who lives in a corner. He said that I have a heart of treason. I really have no place to be ashamed." Li Mu sighed: "I just killed Master Mu's wife. My son, the relationship with Princess Chu has become a little closer, but in the end, such a frame has been incurred, I am really wronged!"
"You!!" Mu Wentu was startled, and said angrily, "Li Mu! You bastard, I have already told you clearly that this case has nothing to do with my wife and children, so don't mention it three times and four times! "
Ji Changqiu was also furious!
What Li Mu said was clearly telling everyone that he has a green hat on his head!
"Li Mu, you shameless bastard, this king wants to kill you!!" Ji Changqiu made seals with both hands, and as his spiritual power surged, the Tianyuan Hall suddenly surged with wind and clouds!
"Presumptuous!" Looking at this farce-like scene, Ji Xuan was furious: "Do you still have me in your eyes!!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me." Everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Ji Changqiu also had no choice but to put away his seal, gritted his teeth and apologized: "Your Majesty, I...have lost my manners, please forgive me."
"Uncle Chu, don't be an example!" Ji Xuan snorted coldly, but finally did not pursue further.
"Mu Shangshu!" Qin Mengyao asked with a smile at this moment: "Magistrate Li killed your wife and children, is there such a thing?"
"Chen... Your Majesty, this..." Mu Wentu became impatient.
This Li Mu is really not a son of man, he says to kill his wife and children when he meets everyone, kill his wife and children, is this endless?
How can you let me 'handle it impartially'?
Where do I put my old face?
Mu Wentu has lived for more than 70 years and has gone through storms, but at this time he still can't help feeling ups and downs, angry and unbearable!
"It seems to be true." Qin Mengyao sighed: "Mu Shangshu, County Magistrate Li killed your wife and child, don't you...don't hate him?"
"Chen..." Mu Wentu suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Chen and the old lady of the Zhong family have been reconciled for many years, and there is no relationship between husband and wife. That son also..."
"That son was also sent to the Taoist temple since he was a child, and he has no father-son relationship with Mr. Mu." Li Mu took his words on purpose, and asked in a strange way: "Will anyone believe this when I say it?"
"Li! Mu!!" Mu Wentu was furious, his chest heaved, and he was wearing a purple official robe, hunting!
"He's angry, he's angry!" Li Mu yelled, "He really hates the lower officials, he really is setting up the lower officials!"
"No sir, minister! No!! Yes!!!" Mu Wentu gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead were even more violent, and his eyes were about to burst!
"You still say you don't have one, and the veins in your temple are about to explode!" Li Mu said, pointing at his face.
"Minister...no." Mu Wentu was so angry that he was trembling all over, and his steel teeth were about to be crushed, but at this time, he had to be calm and smile, otherwise, wouldn't Li Mu's words be true?
"Your Majesty." Qin Mengyao smiled and said, "In my view, this case should be handed over to Zhou Siqing for trial."
Ji Xuan glanced at Mu Wentu's trembling body, and nodded slightly: "Mu Aiqing, step aside."
"I... obey the order." Mu Wentu felt his body was hollowed out for a moment, and he turned to look at Li Mu, his eyes were almost eating people!
Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
This trip was muddied by him, not only got rid of the crime of 'rebellion', but also settled Chu Wang and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. No matter what these two people said after that, the emperor would not believe it easily.
It's just... Li Mu glanced at Zhang Ziyao's back. This old Yin B's words almost made him die without a place to bury him. If there was no queen to help him speak, maybe...
At this time, he really wanted to read Zhang Ziyao's book, but there was a high probability that Zhang Ziyao, an old bastard, would just apologize without pain.
Hit a snake to hit seven inches, Zhang Ziyao, you wait for me!
Li Mu took a deep breath, suppressing the hatred in his heart.
"Cough cough." Zhou Sheren coughed twice, and said, "Let's get down to business. County Magistrate Li, Master Ji died at midnight last night. Where were you at that time?"
Li Mu said: "My subordinate is practicing at the White Horse Temple."
"Is there any witness?" Zhou Sheren asked.
Li Mu thought for a while, then shook his head: "No."
The baby was sleeping too dead at the time, so she couldn't prove it for him at all, and the baby was still young, so her testimony would most likely not be accepted.
Therefore, he didn't need to involve the doll.
"No? Please think about it carefully, County Magistrate Li. In this case, you are the most suspected! Not only did you have the motive for the murder, but you also had the time to commit the crime. The deceased died because of your sword art. If you can't find another witness, I'm afraid..." Zhou Sheren shook his head regretfully.
Li Mu sneered in his heart, and asked, "Dare to ask Master Zhou, where did Master Ji die?"
Zhou Sheren frowned fiercely, but did not answer.
Li Mu looked at the queen.
Qin Mengyao said lightly, "Zhou Siqing."
Only then did Zhou Sheren reluctantly say, "He died in his own residence."
"Before and after Lord Ji was killed, did anyone see the subordinate officials haunting his residence?" Li Mu asked.
Zhou Sheren frowned: "No."
"That is to say, no one saw the lower official kill Master Ji?" Li Mu asked aggressively.
Zhou Sheren's eye muscles twitched: "No."
"Is there really no one?" Li Mu turned pale with shock, and said, "This case may involve the reputation of a lowly official, please think carefully, Mr. Zhou!"
Zhou Sheren's face became more and more ugly.
"Li Mu! Do you think you can clear yourself of suspicion if no one sees you?" Mu Wentu hurriedly said coldly: "You are the third in the land list, and your cultivation is as high as the sky. It is easy to hide your whereabouts!"
Li Mu glanced at him sideways, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Mu, where were you at midnight last night?"
"Li Mu, what do you mean!" Mu Wentu's face darkened.
"If it is said that the lower official had a motive to kill because he had a quarrel with Lord Ji, then the lower official killed Lord Mu's family... Oh, no, he killed Lord Mu's wife and children. Didn't Lord Mu frame the lower official? motive?" Li Muyi asked honestly: "Dare to ask Mr. Mu, where were you at midnight last night!"
Your **** mother actually talked about this matter again... Mu Wentu is so annoyed!
"Your Majesty, Li Mu is diverting attention! Please don't fall for his tricks!" Mu Wentu gritted his teeth and said to Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan looked back and forth between Li Mu and Mu Wentu, and frowned slightly. From what he saw at the moment, what Li Mu just said was surprisingly reasonable.
Ask yourself, if someone kills his wife and children, even if Ji Xuan initiates a national war, he will definitely fight the murderer to the death!
"Mu Shangshu, let's talk about it." Qin Mengyao laughed beside him.
"Minister..." Mu Wentu knew that Li Mu belonged to the queen, so he could only look at Ji Xuan eagerly.
But Ji Xuan also nodded.
Helpless, Mu Wentu had no choice but to say: "At midnight last night, I slept at home."
"Is there any witness?" Li Mu asked him.
Creak creak... Mu Wentu gritted his teeth and said, "No!"
"In this way, Lord Mu may also be the murderer. Under such circumstances, Lord Mu actually investigates the subordinates as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Naturally, the subordinates cannot argue!" Li Mu sighed.
Are you still speechless?
You've run out of words! !
Mu Wentu was distraught and indignant: "Your Majesty, minister! No frame! No killing of Lord Ji! The minister was wronged, Your Majesty!!"
In his 70s, Mu Wentu was almost forced to cry!
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Master Mu didn't realize Ling Jueding, so how could he be the murderer?" Zhou Sheren found the flaw in Li Mu's words.
Li Mu smiled: "Master Zhou said there is no one, so it doesn't matter? What if Master Mu secretly realized Ling Jueding, but never used it, and even never used it again in the future?"
"This?" Zhou Sheren tossed his official robe and snorted, "Don't bring such groundless remarks to the palace!"
"Then what is the basis for those adults to believe that the lower official killed Lord Ji? Just rely on Ling Jueding? But the lower official has already published the poems to the world, and Master Zhou also said that in the Imperial Capital alone, many people have realized that Ling Jueding, how can it be proved that Master Ji died under the subordinate Ling Jueding?" Li Mu asked back.
"You!!" Zhou Sheren pointed at Li Mu, angry and anxious!
"I am very disappointed in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment!!" Ji Xuan said weakly, and immediately slapped the dragon chair heavily, angrily said: "Ji Chen is my uncle, a member of the royal family, and a nobleman! You... that's it Handle the case for me!!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Zhou Sheren and Mu Wentu hurriedly bowed and saluted with a humble posture, but in their hearts, they hated Li Mu to death.
They never expected that this Li Mu would be so difficult to deal with!
Especially the sharpness of his tongue is even sharper than his sword!
Fortunately, the old man still has a backup... The sneer in Mu Wentu's eyes was fleeting.
"Your Majesty, since Zhou Siqing has no evidence to prove that Li Mu is the murderer of Lord Ji, let's put this case aside for now," Qin Mengyao said.
lay down?
Absolutely not!
Ji Xuan glared at Zhou Sheren and Mu Wentu, and said angrily, "If within three days, I can't find the murderer who killed my uncle, I will take your skin off!!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Sheren and Mu Wentu looked at each other: It seems that another dead ghost must be found.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Mu finally heaved a sigh of relief: It was finally safe and sound!
however……
"Then, let's talk about the third case." Ji Xuan snorted.
and also? !
Li Mu's heart sank.
He was accused of treason, and the evidence was that there were words of disrespect to the Qing court in this poem, so the owner of the poem was executed!
And compared to "Qingfeng is illiterate, why do you flip through books randomly", this "will be the top of the mountain, look at the mountains and small", seems to have more ambitions to dominate!
