Shaoxing, in the wing room on the second floor of Qiyu Pavilion, Mu Xiaojiu and Lu Junyu were confronting each other. And the two catchers who followed and protected the two stood outside the door, not allowing anyone to enter.

Of course, the two of them heard the conversation in the room, but to put it bluntly, even if the two of them heard it clearly, they could only stand at the door and wait for a result to appear inside. The immortals fought, how could the two of them mortals dare to get in?

"Master Mu, if you can't be a dog, who is willing to give up your dignity as a human being and be a dog? I think that although Lu Junyu failed to be ranked in the top three back then, he was also a jinshi in the palace examination. How can I not have great ambitions, and why do I not have great ambitions? When he said this, Lu Junyu's expression finally began to be uncalm, "But do you know how dark the officialdom of the imperial court is?" Do you know that if you don't act as a dog for others, you won't be able to survive in this Central Plains court at all? ”

Saying that, Lu Junyu laughed sarcastically, "You don't know, how do you know?" After all, you, Lord Mu, are the envoys appointed by His Majesty, and you have ascended to the sky in one step. ”

Mu Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows, "So, this is the reason why you are a vicious dog for others?" ”

Lu Junyu's mouth was open, and he was about to defend himself, when he heard Mu Xiaojiu continue: "It's normal to be a dog, and there are few people in this world who haven't been a dog. But dogs are also good and bad. You devote yourself to Cai Jingmen, that is your freedom, you feel that the officialdom is dark and you can't gain a foothold, so you find a backer, which is also normal. But when you are a dog, you can also choose to be a good dog. Look at the silver ticket here! First it was 300,000 taels, then it was 200,000 taels, and finally I was not satisfied with you, and you had to give me another 500,000 taels, a whole million taels of silver! Don't tell me that Cai Jing sent you all this money, you as a dog! ”

Lu Junyu sneered, "That's right, I got this money from looting the people, and in the past few years in office, I have raised taxes several times, and each time it is just stuck on the line that the people can accept, so I can always sit in this position." But what happened to me looting the township? You have the ability to ask Cai Jing not to loot me! Do you know that when I visit Cai Jingjing every year, I have to throw out a whole million taels? I don't loot the people, will you give me all this money? ”

Mu Xiaojiu looked at Lu Junyu coldly, "Cai Jing looted you, and you want to loot the people?" Why don't I go to Cai Jing? What a big reason for you, you did something wrong, and you still lick your face and push it on others? Cai Jing is evil as the head of all evils, so you are not evil as his minions? Cai Jing's affairs are not your business, you only need to see your own ugly face clearly. ”

"Am I ugly? Hahahaha! Lu Junyu suddenly laughed, "That's right, I'm a wicked person, I'm in the fish and meat township, I scourge the people, but you don't dare to touch me." ”

"Because, you don't dare to offend Cai Jing." Lu Junyu's eyes had a vicious look in them.

Mu Xiaojiu shook his head gently, "Chickens and ducks talk about it, play the piano to the cow...... Who told you that I didn't dare to touch Cai Jing? Cai Jing can still be in power, firstly because he has self-knowledge, secondly because he is capable, and thirdly because he is still needed now. ”

After saying that, the two soldiers at the door only heard a crisp sound in the room, and then there was the sound of a man falling to the ground.

"One will lock up this room for me, and the other will go to the owner of Qiyu Pavilion and ask him not to serve food, and then go to you Wang Qi and Lord Wang, and ask him to come over quickly."

When the two soldiers heard Mu Xiaojiu's voice, they shivered in unison, and then they hurriedly took action.

……

By the time Wang Qihe arrived at Qiyu Pavilion, more than a quarter of an hour had passed, and even so, Wang Qihe came as fast as he could.

When he opened the door and entered the house, Wang Qihe knelt down directly, "Xiaguan Wang Qihe thanked Lord Mu for upholding justice for Shaoxing City." As he spoke, Wang Qihe squinted his eyes and saw Lu Junyu's corpse scattered on the ground.

Mu Xiaojiu responded, and then said: "Get up, call you over, there are some things I want to ask you, you are a smart person, you shouldn't need me to ask one by one." ”

Wang Qihe stood up and nodded, "Yes, Xia Guan understands." In the past few years of Lu Junyu's reign, countless gold and silver have been looted. Moreover, this person not only looted the common people, but also sold military armor, and his buyers were mainly Fuso and Goryeo. In order to win over the lower officials, he gave me gold and silver six times, and all the gold and silver were hidden in the cellar of my family, and I could hand them in at any time. ”

"Moreover, the reason why this person has been able to be the prefect of Shaoxing City for a few years, in addition to his secretive and measured actions, the most important thing is that he has enshrined a group of martial arts people who are exclusive to him, and at the same time he has widely spread eyeliner and secret agents in the city, so no one has been able to petition successfully so far."

"Oh? In that case, although I didn't say it, you should do the thing about blocking the news. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the villain came alone, and no one else knows why I came out except my wife at home. At the same time, the two people at the door also ask your adults to rest assured, I brought out the catch in Shaoxing City, although some people have changed their minds under Lu Junyu's wooing over the years, but these two people have absolutely no problem. ”

Mu Xiaojiu smiled, "That's good, Wang Zhutou, you did a good job." In addition, I also want to ask you, I don't know if there is anyone you think can temporarily take the position of Shaoxing prefect? ”

"Your Excellency praised it." Wang Qihe didn't dare to say it, and then thought for a while before he said: "If you are a prefect of Shaoxing, there is a academy in the city, and the academy there has a good relationship with me, and I often ask him for a drink." This person is upright and knowledgeable, if it is only temporary, this person should be able to do it. ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Lord Qiyu, the shopkeeper of Qiyu Pavilion has brought it." ”

Mu Xiaojiu waved his hand, motioning for Wang Qihe to stand aside first, and then said, "Come in." ”

As soon as Mu Xiaojiu's words fell, the previous person who was in charge of blocking this wing room had already pressed the shopkeeper of Qiyu Pavilion and walked in.

The shopkeeper trembled, and as soon as he came in, he knelt down with a "poof", and then kept kowtowing, "My lord, spare my life!" Spare your life! Although I helped Lu Junyu cover up the facts before, the villain was also forced to be helpless. Ask the adult to spare the villain's life! ”

Mu Xiaojiu looked at the middle-aged shopkeeper and frowned, "Get up for me, I haven't said what I want to do with you." ”

Although the shopkeeper was still a little afraid, he didn't dare to disobey Mu Xiaojiu, as soon as he heard this, he quickly and honestly got up from the ground, but his body was still a little trembling, and his hands were constantly rubbing each other, obviously very nervous.

"Let me ask you, what do you know about that Lu Junyu?"

The shopkeeper shuddered, "Lord Qiqi, I really don't know much about him, and he is just a guest of mine here." I obeyed him only because he had warned me. And every month, I have to hand over a full five thousand taels of silver to him, if it weren't for my good business in this Qiyu Pavilion, I'm afraid I would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. ”

Mu Xiaojiu's expression when he looked at the shopkeeper didn't look like a fake, but just in case, he still glanced at Lu Junyu. Seeing this, Lu Junyu took a step forward, and then said respectfully to Mu Xiaojiu: "Lord Qiyumu, what this shopkeeper said should be true. I don't know if Lu Junyu warned him, but he does have to hand over 5,000 taels of silver to Lu Junyu every month. And sometimes, Lu Junyu will take extra money from him when he comes to dinner, ranging from a few thousand taels to ten thousand taels each time. Like this kind of restaurant and green building that want to be offered to Lu Junyu, there are about more than ten in the city. ”

Mu Xiaojiu took a deep breath, even if there were only ten restaurants, each family would give Lu Junyu five thousand taels a month, so that he would have fifty thousand taels every month. In a year, it is a full 600,000 taels. For this alone, more than half of the one million taels that Lu Junyu wants to give Cai Jing every year will come out.

"Tell me how he threatened—"

As soon as Mu Xiaojiu's words came out, he heard a sharp roar, Mu Xiaojiu was shocked, and he turned back with a knife, and then looked over, but found that the thing that attacked was a shuttle dart.

"Outside the window!" Mu Xiaojiu's eyes narrowed, and he just saw a black shadow running quickly from the opposite house, "Wang Qihe, you hurry up and let people hide this shopkeeper in this Qiyu Pavilion, and at the same time send people to protect the shopkeeper of every store that has been dedicated to Lu Junyu, remember to protect your own family members as well." In the event of an emergency, I allow you to do so in a hurry. I'll catch up and see what kind of skills these martial arts people raised by Lu Junyu have. ”

Wang Qihe knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he hurriedly responded.

Mu Xiaojiu's feet moved, and he flew out directly from the open window, and then flew into the air to the roof opposite.

"This kind of shuttle dart is very common, and the use method is also very simple, and there are often people on the rivers and lakes who carry it, so there is no way to determine what sect ......and sect this person who uses a secret weapon" While chasing, Mu Xiaojiu secretly thought to himself in his heart, "Although this person's light skills are average, he is obviously very familiar with the terrain in this area." It's just why he did it so late, he should have done it when I killed Lu Junyu. ”

Just thinking about it, ahead, the man in black who was forced by Mu Xiaojiu to get tighter and tighter, and it was estimated that he would be completely caught by Mu Xiaojiu in a short while, suddenly stepped on the air and fell from the edge of the roof. Mu Xiaojiu hurriedly jumped down, but found that the man in black had disappeared, and what appeared in front of Mu Xiaojiu were two forks in the road.

Mu Xiaojiu showed a sneer on his face, "Heh, I'm really familiar with the terrain, but do you think I can't do anything after I lose it?" ”
