"Who the hell are you?" The fat man glared at Li Mu with a vicious look and sneered, "You want to meddle in my business? In Chang 'an, there are not many people who dare to meddle in my business. Little monk, you're asking for trouble. "
Li Mu ignored the fat man.
In Li Mu's eyes, the fat man and his minions were not worth mentioning.
Now, he was thinking about Ruhe and Li Mu's mother's reunion. He knew nothing about the childhood memories of Li Mu and his mother. This kind of thing was really easy to be exposed. He didn't even know how Li Mu called his mother back then. "Mom?" "Mom?" "Mother?" "Or something else?"
"Tell me, what happened? What happened? "Li Mu looked at the girl who asked for help.
The girl looked hesitant. She did not completely trust Li Mu and did not know what to say.
The fat man sneered and said, "This b * tch is a concubine I bought with a lot of money. How dare she disobey the rules of a woman and steal things from my mansion. Then, the guards found her and followed her all the way here. It turns out that she stole those things to show filial respect to this old pig. Well, they must have communicated and premeditated to commit the crime …" He was still a little afraid of Li Mu's strength. After all, he could slap his two coachmen away, which showed that he was not an ordinary person.
"Oh." Li Mu raised a hand and gave him a slap.
"Smack!"
The fat man spun four or five times on the spot. A clear palm print appeared on the left side of his face and several teeth flew out.
"You …" The fat man was dumbfounded.
Li Mu took a white handkerchief from Zheng Cunjian's hand, wiped his hands, and said, "This slap is to tell you to be civilized. If you let me hear one more dirty word from your mouth, I will twist your head off and kick it like a ball."
The fat man finally came to his senses. Like a jackal whose tail had been stepped on, he jumped up and roared, "You … How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? You're dead. No one dares to hit me like this … "
Li Mu ignored him and looked at the girl.
"Tell me. I'll help you." Li Mu said again.
It was only at this moment that the young lady gathered the courage to explain everything that had happened.
It turned out that Li Mu was right. This little girl was called Grassy, the last maid of Li Mu's mother. A few days ago, she was sold to Fatty Zheng as a concubine. Poor Grassy was really loyal. Although she was sold, she still cared about Li Mu's mother, so she often secretly took some things to help Li Mu's mother, who was blind and unable to live. Today, however, Fatty Zheng took the initiative to give Grassy some belongings and food and asked her to send them to Li Mu's mother's residence. Grassy thought it was Old Master Zheng's special kindness. But to her surprise, as soon as she set off, Fatty Zheng came with his men and directly broke into Li Mu's mother's yard. He directly framed Grassy for stealing from the mansion, beat her severely, and then demanded Li Mu's mother to give an explanation.
"Young Master, I don't dare to ask for anything else. I just want you to protect Old Lady. This has nothing to do with Old Master Zheng. I'm willing to accept any punishment. I'm willing to go back with Old Master Zheng and accept any punishment, as long as I don't implicate Old Lady … Young Master, I'll repay your great kindness even if I have to work like an ox or a horse in my next life." Grassy knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
She had never met Li Mu before. It was already reckless of her to ask Li Mu to save Old Lady, let alone ask Li Mu to help her.
Because she had no reason to ask Li Mu to offend Fatty Zheng to save her.
She knew that Fatty Zheng was quite influential in the Chang 'an government.
She was asking for help in a desperate situation.
"Haha, beg him? That little bald ass can't even protect himself … "At that time, Fatty Zheng came to his senses. He grinned hideously and said," I've already called for help. None of you can leave today … Haha, little bald ass, I don't care who you are. But since you beat me, even if you're the king of heaven, you'll have to pay the price. "
Li Mu darted a look at Zheng Cunjian and asked, "Is' little bald ass' a dirty word?"
Zheng Cunjian was taken aback. But soon, he understood and said, "Well … I guess so."
Li Mu nodded and turned to look at Fatty Zheng. "What kind of price do you want? “
This old pig hooked up with my concubine and stole my property. According to the law of the empire, she has to pay double the compensation and then go to jail. Only then can she wash away her crime. Haha, if she doesn't want to, I can show you another way … "At that point, Zheng Tianliang's face showed a trace of obscenity. He continued," This old pig is kind of pretty. Although she is a little old, I don't mind her. As long as she comes to my mansion as a concubine and serves me with all her heart, I'll let bygones be bygones … "
A trace of killing intent flashed across Li Mu's eyes.
He finally figured it out. That was the reason why Zheng Tianliang deliberately framed Grassy and Mother Li.
"Damn it, he even coveted Mother Li's beauty!"
"Don't you want to know who I am?" Li Mu directly interrupted Zheng Tianliang and said word by word, "Now let me tell you. My name is Li Mu, the county magistrate of Taibai County, also the son of the old man you insulted, who finally came back after eight years away from home … Now, do you know who I am?"
"What? Li Mu, you … you are … the son of this old thing … "Fatty Zheng looked shocked.
"You heard it right. It's me." As Li Mu said that, he slapped him again.
"Smack!"
This time, he no longer controlled his strength.
After being slapped, Fatty Zheng's head spun more than ten times on his neck like a yo-yo. Then, like a watermelon that had been plucked off, it fell from his neck and fell to the ground with a bang.
"I've said that if you say one more dirty word, I'll twist your head off and kick it like a ball. Do you think I'm joking with you?" Li Mu looked down at Zheng Tianliang's head on the ground.
Those who insulted Mother Li would die. Zheng Tianliang had called Mother Li a pig more than once. Moreover, he even coveted Mother Li's beauty and plotted against her. He deserved to die ten thousand times. Moreover, judging from his behavior, he was not a good man. So, Li Mu killed him without any psychological burden.
"Ho ho … I … you …" Zheng Tianliang was not dead yet. His head was still conscious. His mouth opened and closed, making sounds. His expression was unprecedentedly frightened and incredulous. He could not believe that Li Mu really dared to kill him until he died.
The others were all stunned.
Except for Zheng Cunjian.
Zheng Tianliang's guards were almost petrified.
Before they could react, their master was killed in a second and his head was cut off … What was going on? There really was a fool who didn't know his place. He even dared to kill Old Master Zheng. Was he crazy?
They were totally unprepared.
Grassy, the maid, was also dumbfounded.
She just begged for help, hoping that Li Mu could protect Madam Dowager. As for her own life or death, she didn't care. But to her surprise, the little monk directly killed Zheng Tianliang. "Am … am I dreaming?"
"Yes, what else? What did he just say?"
Grassy shuddered and recalled another sentence Li Mu said.
"This little monk said his name is Li Mu and he is Madam's son. Could it be that … Young Master … is back?"
Mother Li was also completely dumbfounded. Her body trembled slightly and she forgot to speak.
"What did I just hear? Mu is back? Is it really Mu?"
Could it be the same as before, that I'm dreaming and having hallucinations again?
"Let's go." Li Mu raised his foot and directly kicked Zheng Tianliang's head away. It turned into a black spot and disappeared in the night sky. No one knew how far it had gone.
"What I said counts."
"I said I should kick it like a ball, and I will kick it like a ball."
"Take the body out." Li Mu then looked at Zheng Tianliang's guards.
Only then did the guards react, especially the two called Lai Fu and Wang Cai. They were so scared that they didn't dare to say a word. They lifted Zheng Tianliang's headless body and quickly retreated from the small courtyard.
"I hate Zheng Tianliang."
Li Mu muttered to himself.
Zheng Cunjian, who was beside him, was covered in cold sweat. Although he felt wronged, he did not dare to say a word.
Li Mu turned around and knelt on the ground. Then, he came to Li Mu's mother and said loudly, "Mom, I'm back … I'm late and made you suffer. I'm not a filial son." It was better to call her mom. Since he was here, he should put on a good show.
"You …" Li Mu's mother seemed to wake up from a dream. She raised her trembling hand and touched Li Mu's face. "Are you really my Mu 'er … Is my Mu' er really back?"
She rubbed Li Mu's face with her wrinkled and cracked hand.
A mother worried about her son when he traveled a thousand miles.
Li Mu had been away from Chang 'an for eight years, and there was no news from him. He didn't even send a letter back, so Mama Li had been waiting for him bitterly. She was almost desperate. She couldn't imagine how the young Li Mu could survive without her care. So many nights when she was crying, Mama Li was worried about whether her son was in danger or had already … She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
After her son ran away from home, every day, every minute, and every second was torture for her.
She had also thought about looking for her son.
But her personal freedom was restricted by the magistrate, and she could not leave Chang 'an.
"Is my son finally back after waiting for eight years?"
She trembled and stroked Li Mu's face, trying to figure out whether the young man in front of her was her son.
"Mother, I'm not filial." Li Mu cried very cooperatively and looked very emotional.
Li Yunhong's mother was blind and couldn't see clearly, so she didn't have to worry too much about this. At least, she couldn't see the flaws on the surface. Maybe she could get away with it. She hoped that the poor old man could live the rest of his life in satisfaction and happiness.
Li Mu thought to himself.
"It's really my Mu 'er. It's my Mu' er. He's grown up, but his appearance hasn't changed much …" Li Mu's mother stroked Li Mu's face for a long time and finally confirmed it. It was said that there would be a wonderful blood connection between a son and a mother, as if they were telepathic. Eight years had passed. Li Mu's appearance must have changed from half a year ago, but not much. Some features of his facial features were still preserved. Li Mu's mother stroked his face several times and finally confirmed it.
"My son, you're finally back." Li Mu burst into tears.
Grassy, the maid, was also crying with excitement. Although she was smiling, she could not control her tears.
"Finally, the day has come. Young Master is finally back!"
The scene of family reunion was touching.
Zheng Cunjian stood aside and did not say a word.
He knew that at this time, the best performance he could do was not to speak and interrupt the atmosphere.
However, the tree longed for peace, but the wind would not stop.
A flurry of footsteps could be heard coming from the alley outside the courtyard.
