But he lacked actual combat experience. If he really fought with Ma Junwu, his opponent would not stand there like a stone and let him beat him. So, if he fought with someone like Ma Junwu, he would probably win.
Li Mu had a relatively objective position for himself.
"How is the strength of Shennong Faction in the county? Are there any powerful masters in the faction? "Li Mu asked again.
Ma Junwu heard the words and thought of something.
What happened in the court yesterday was now spread in the whole high-level circle of Taibai County.
Many people thought that this young county magistrate was crazy and were waiting to see a joke.
Now the county magistrate asked this question. Was he really going to fight against Shennong Faction?
"Shennong Faction has been established for more than 20 years. It is a faction composed of some medicine farmers, hunters and herb gatherers in Taibai County. There are about thousands of people in the faction. Although most of them are ordinary people, it is also a force in Taibai County. There are more than ten masters of Joint-force level in the faction and two third-rate masters of Joint-qi level, who are Sikong Jing and Fan Changan." Ma Junwu was obviously a qualified Dutou Official of the guards, so he knew this information very well and said.
In the end, the honest Dutou Official couldn't help but add, "Shennong Faction has been operating in the county for decades, and it has a complicated relationship with some rich businessmen and officials. You can't underestimate it."
This was a very subtle reminder.
Ma Junwu felt that this was the only thing he could do.
As for whether this young county magistrate could understand it or not, it was his own business.
Although Li Mu was his superior, he was too young and impulsive. He would never accompany Li Mu to die.
Li Mu heard this information and his heart was pounding.
So, Shennong Faction was a big force. It was a little tricky.
Should he bear it for a year and a half and wait for his strength to improve?
But on second thought, he could not do it.
Even if he had to shed tears, he had to finish his act.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke?
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside. A guard ran in in a panic and said, "Your Honor, Your Honor, bad news. Some thugs attacked the medical center. Zhang Li and her daughter were taken away. Zhang Ru was also beaten to death …"
"What?" Ma Junwu's expression suddenly changed as he stood up.
Li Mu was stunned and immediately understood. He rushed to the guard in two or three steps and shouted, "What did you say? What is going on? "
"The people of Shennong Faction attacked the medical center …" The guard was injured and reported in a trembling voice.
The plaintiff of the case, Zhang Li and her daughter Xiao Qin, were placed in the medical center to heal by Li Mu. At the same time, the guard named Zhang Ru was also sent by Li Mu to protect the plaintiff. Only one day later, a group of Shennong Faction was instigated to say that Zhang Li falsely accused the Magical Medicine Pharmacy and colluded with the county government officials to destroy their livelihood. They rushed to the medical center and smashed it. The plaintiff was taken away and Zhang Ru, who was a public servant, was even beaten to death … It was really outrageous.
"Motherf * cker!"
Li Mu suddenly lost his temper.
You dare to call me a dog official?
I'm going to kill these bastards! "
…
…
In the official clinic of Taibai County.
The gate was smashed into pieces and the plaque was also smashed. The yard was in a mess and there were painful groans everywhere.
Three of the four doctors in the clinic were knocked out and one of them had a broken leg. With the help of an apprentice whose face was also full of scars, they sat at the door of the consultation hall and looked at the messy medical center with a numb expression.
The people of Shennong Faction had already left.
Li Mu and others were a little late.
There was a smell of blood in the air.
Among the four guards sent to protect Zhang Li and her daughter, except for the one who escaped back to report, the other two had their hands and feet broken and fainted in the consultation hall.
And the only guard that Li Mu knew was the young and strong Zhang Ru. It seemed that because he resisted, his chest was pierced by a sharp long-handled medicine shovel and he was nailed to the mahogany screen in the consultation hall. His eyes were wide open and he held the standard steel knife in his hand. There was a big pool of blood under his feet and he died with a painful and angry expression.
This was the first time that Li Mu saw a dead body at such a close distance.
But he didn't feel afraid.
Yesterday it was a living life, but today it became a cold dead body.
Li Mu raised his hand and put down Zhang Ru's body. He gently brushed his face and let him close his eyes.
Dutou Official Ma Junwu on the other side had been used to the arrogance of the faction over the years, but he also couldn't hide his anger on his face.
Shennong Faction was really getting more and more outrageous. They even dared to kill the public servants. It was really bold.
Li Mu's look calmed down.
The reason why he gave three days of buffer time was actually to learn more information so that he could deal with this matter calmly. But now it seemed that some people's arrogance had been out of control, so he could only use the simplest way.
He took the steel knife from the dead hand of Zhang Ru and stood up. He looked at the guard who escaped back to report and said, "Did you see it clearly? Was it really done by the people of Shennong Faction?"
The guard was trembling and dared not to look at Li Mu's eyes. He nodded and said, "I saw it clearly. It was the Four King Kongs of the Shennong Faction. They broke into the medical center and took Zhang Li and her daughter away. Brother Zhang Ru asked me to go back to report, but who knows …" Speaking of this, the guard also shed tears. Although he was afraid of death and timid, Zhang Ru was his colleague and brother who took care of him in daily life.
Li Mu looked at Ma Junwu and said, "Dutou Official Ma, is the headquarter of Shennong Faction in the city?"
"Yes, it is in the city."
"Then do you dare to take me there?"
"Well …" Ma Junwu hesitated for a moment. The members of Shennong Faction were complicated. There were some desperadoes. The headquarter was even more chaotic. If they really made trouble, it was inevitable that these desperadoes couldn't stop. Maybe their lives would be in danger.
"You don't have to be afraid. Just take me to the headquarter. You don't need to go with me." Li Mu said calmly.
But the calmer his look was, the more Ma Junwu could feel the anger in the young county magistrate's body like a volcano that was about to erupt.
"Of course I dare to take you there." Ma Junwu was irritated by Li Mu's words. A trace of blood was aroused in his chest. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Zhang Ru is my soldier. I also want to ask for an explanation. But you can't take risks alone. It's better to summon the guards and soldiers to go there together …"
Li Mu shook his head and showed a trace of sarcasm on his face. He said, "Dutou Official Ma, do you think I can mobilize the soldiers and horses in Taibai County now?"
Ma Junwu was embarrassed and silent.
He knew something about the fact that Deputy county magistrate Zhou Wu and Dianshi janitor Zheng Longxing secretly made this young county magistrate a mere figurehead.
So he certainly knew that except for some guards, this county magistrate was actually an empty shell. He had no real power at all and could not mobilize the troops.
"Let's go."
Li Mu took the knife and walked out of the clinic step by step.
…
In the Zhou Mansion.
Deputy county magistrate Zhou Wu was playing with a cypress bracelet in his hand with a trace of a sinister smile on his face.
"I didn't expect that this young county magistrate, who was a civil official, actually had a little courage. He even went to the headquarter of Shennong Faction alone. Haha … God is helping me." He smiled with a trace of excitement like a poisonous snake.
He was well-informed, and everything that happened in the county was under his control.
On one side, the secretary Feng Yuanxing smiled and said, "Shennong Faction is a faction supported by Dianshi janitor Zheng Longxing. It is the right-hand man of Dianshi janitor. It has done a lot of things for him over the years. But Zheng Longxing did not know that you had already placed a spy in Shennong Faction. Zheng Longxing let Shennong Faction attack the clinic. Maybe he didn't want to kill people, but you secretly helped him … Haha, this time, things have become big. Let's see how Zheng Longxing will deal with it."
Zhou Wu smiled with a playful look and said, "This thing is not big enough."
"You mean …" Feng Yuanxing asked with a smile.
"You say, if our young county magistrate accidentally died in the headquarter of Shennong Faction, will Zheng Longxing be more embarrassed?" Zhou Wu said lightly.
Feng Yuanxing was stunned, and then a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
What a vicious strategy.
If the young county magistrate was killed in the headquarter of Shennong Faction, Taibai County would be turned upside down.
After all, it was a ninth-grade official who died in the hands of a faction. Even if the government of the empire was corrupt and loose, it would be investigated. With the relationship between Zheng Longxing and Shennong Faction, the empire could easily find him. At that time, even if he did not die, his position as the Dianshi janitor would come to an end.
In this way, with a little operation, the position of the county magistrate of Taibai County would completely belong to Deputy County Magistrate Zhou Wu.
…
…
At the same time.
In the Dianshi janitor's mansion.
Zheng Longxing said with joy on his face, "Haha, this coward finally walked out of the county government. My painstaking arrangement was not in vain … But, how could that guard die? Didn't I say that it is not allowed to kill public servants? "
"Maybe the outlaws of Shennong Faction did not control their means well." The henchman kneeling on the ground argued anxiously in his heart.
"Well, the purpose has been achieved. It is not a big deal to kill a guard." Zheng Longxing waved his hand.
"Sir, it is better to let Sikong Jing kill this little guy directly." The henchman made a throat-cutting gesture.
"Bullshit." Zheng Longxing scolded, "Who doesn't know the relationship between Shennong Faction and me? If this young county magistrate dies in Shennong Faction, I can't get rid of the responsibility. Hey hey, at this time, I am afraid that the whole county is paying attention to this matter. You now go to tell Sikong Jing to close the door and don't go to see the young county magistrate. If the young county magistrate breaks in, let your men pretend not to know him and catch him first. Let him suffer a little, humiliate him, and then let him go in public … After that, don't worry about him."
