Many people were not familiar with the name of Qin Fan.
But Huang Wenyuan, who was born in the top family of the Guanshan Pasture, surely knew that it was the name of the second prince, who held a high position in the empire.
The second prince was killed by the lunatic in front of him.
Strictly speaking, the Second Prince was stronger than Huang Wenyuan in terms of status and cultivation. This lunatic even dared to kill the Second Prince. Wouldn't that mean …
Huang Wenyuan suddenly panicked.
Li Mu's words struck him more deeply than any other threats he had ever uttered.
And the more arrogant and domineering a man was, the more he took other people's lives seriously. When faced with death, he would behave worse than ordinary people.
Cold sweat suddenly trickled down Huang Wenyuan's forehead. The smug grin on his face froze. Staring at Li Mu's indifferent face, he stammered, "You … Don't be impulsive. The second prince died in the civil strife. Since the emperor hasn't come out of closed-door training, no one will trouble you. But if you kill me, my grandfather loves me the most. He will come to avenge me in person …"
Liu Chong, who was standing aside, was also very nervous.
Huang Shengyi, the deputy head, asked him to come to Taibai County to assist Huang Wenyuan. If Huang Wenyuan died here, even if Li Mu was too powerful, Liu Chong would not be able to get away with it, and he would not be able to explain himself.
Thinking of that, he dared not to provoke Li Mu too much.
"Fu * k, this young county magistrate is really a lunatic."
"Your Honor Li, we haven't reached the point of irreconcilable. Don't be impulsive." Liu Chong wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Let go of Young Master Huang first. We can talk things out. It's the imperial court that ordered Young Master Huang to take over your position as the county magistrate. It's not us who want to take away your position …"
Li Mu looked at Liu Chong and said, "You haven't figured out the point. Is this about the county magistrate or not?"
Liu Chong was stunned, and then his face darkened.
"Li Mu really did it for the sake of the 16 dead peasants, not to make a fuss?"
Liu Chong swallowed and said, "I know what you mean, Your Honor Li. But I don't think this has anything to do with Young Master Huang. There's no evidence that Young Master Huang killed them. I …"
"Evidence?" Li Mu sneered, "Old man, I'm afraid you're muddle-headed. Am I talking to you about evidence? Don't you have any f * cking idea whether it was done by this scum or not? "
"What?"
Liu Chong, who looked like an immortal, didn't know. But he was sure it was not something good.
He said, "Lord Li, please don't be impulsive. This matter still needs to be investigated. If it was Young Master Huang's doing …"
Li Mu interrupted him again and said, "What do you mean by 'if'? The murderous and bloody aura on this old white-haired man was so obvious. He had only killed for four hours, so what was there to quibble about? "Li" said to him...
Liu Chong heaved a deep sigh. He was rather dissatisfied with Huang Wenyuan.
Originally, Huang Wenyuan only needed to wait for Li Mu to come out of the closed-door training and directly kill him when he was unprepared. Why did he have to kill a few insignificant pariahs? Now, Huang Wenyuan had alerted Li Mu and given him time to prepare … However, this was obviously not the time to blame Huang Wenyuan for being useless.
"Maybe it's a misunderstanding." For so many years, Liu Chong had never been so aggrieved. He said gingerly, "Your Honor, I've noticed it. But this scar-faced guard must be dissatisfied with the previous conflict. That's why he did it on his own. Young Master Huang was hoodwinked and didn't know it …"
Huang Wenyuan's eyes also lit up. He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, Your Honor, I know nothing about it. I was hoodwinked. Let's talk about it. This guard is called Zhan Fei. He used to be a murderous bandit. After I took him under my wing, I ordered him to follow me and turn over a new leaf. But I didn't expect that he couldn't change his bad habits and did such a thing. I'll never let him off …"
Li Mu directly spat on his face and sneered, "Two dignified warriors in the Celestial Being Realm, in order to survive, you lied through your teeth. I feel ashamed for you. Are these the warriors of the Guanshan Pasture? You've totally disgraced the Holy Clans of the empire. "
Liu Chong's white eyebrows twitched. Anger was burning in his heart.
Huang Wenyuan was both anxious and angry.
He had been scolded badly, but he dared not talk back.
"Originally, I didn't intend to reason with you. But since you've been so cowardly, then …" Li Mu waved a hand and pointed at the fainted old guard with white hair and a scar. Then, he ordered, "Somebody, wake him up."
Feng Yuanxing gritted his teeth and personally came over with a bucket of ice water. With a splash, he poured the water on the old guard with white hair and a scar.
Like a tortoise eating a weight, he made up his mind to follow Li Mu to the end.
"Ah …" The old guard with white hair and a scar slowly woke up and let out a cry of pain. His eyes fell on Li Mu, and he opened his mouth to curse.
Li Mu sneered and said, "You'd better think carefully before you speak."
Being glanced at by Li Mu's ice-cold eyes, the old guard with white hair and a scar felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't utter a word of the cursing he was about to say. Instead, he was seized with an inexplicable panic.
Li Mu directly stepped on Huang Wenyuan's leg. The latter screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Li Mu said, "Stop howling … Tell me what you just said, one more time."
Huang Wenyuan couldn't wait to tear Li Mu into pieces. But the situation was against his will, so he had to lower his head.
Lowering his head with a sinister expression, Huang Wenyuan repeated what he had just said. He said to the white-haired scarred guard, Zhan Fei, "Don't blame me. For your own selfishness, you actually did such a thing, killing innocent people. You deserve to die a thousand times over. If you still have a shred of conscience left in you, just kill yourself and apologize with your death."
The old guard's arms and legs were badly mutilated by the steel broadsword. No matter how much strength an ordinary guard exerted, the bones of an expert in the Natural Bone Refining Realm could not be broken. Therefore, such an injury seemed serious, but in fact, as long as he recovered his natural qi, he could recover in half a day.
He looked at Huang Wenyuan with a complicated expression and clenched his teeth.
How could he not understand the meaning behind Huang Wenyuan's words? Huang Wenyuan wanted him to take the blame and take the blame for the murder.
That was tantamount to asking for death.
He was not reconciled to it, but he had no choice.
He was a servant of the Huang family, a private soldier, and a man of sacrifice. His life belonged to the Huang family, so he had long made up his mind.
He just didn't think that he would have to carry out the last step of a death warrior because of such a small matter. It was only because of the death of sixteen untouchables. He didn't want to die in a grand battle, but to pay for the death of sixteen untouchables. This was really … not reconciled.
But if he betrayed the Huang family, even if Li Mu didn't kill him now, the revenge of the Huang family would make him wish he was dead.
"Yes, master is right. I saw you being humiliated, so I was indignant. So, I killed those pariahs. It has nothing to do with master." The white-haired guard with a scar said, gnashing his teeth.
He had lived a valiant life and killed countless people. In the past, he was indeed a great bandit who killed and robbed people. Later on, he was subdued by the Huang family and lived a glorious life. He ate what he wanted to eat, drank what he wanted to drink, and played what he wanted to play. This life was worth it.
Huang Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Chong also breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Well, you are really tough. Then, I'll send you on your way. "
As his voice faded, he took the steel broadsword from the guard beside him, infused it with the natural qi, and casually chopped off the head of the white-haired guard with a scar. Then, he placed the head in front of the bodies of the 16 dead county residents and guards.
Huang Wenyuan carefully concealed his viciousness and said, "Your Honor Li, the truth has been revealed. Now, can you let me go?"
Li Mu looked at him in surprise and said, "Ah? When did I say I would let you go? "
Huang Wenyuan was stunned.
Liu Chong was both shocked and angry. He said, "Your Honor Li, what do you mean? Are you going to go back on your word? "
Li Mu looked at him as if he was looking at a fool and said, "Go back on my word? Old man, think about it carefully. Did I say that since this old white-haired man confessed, I would only kill him? "
"Well …" Liu Chong carefully recalled, "You clearly said …"
"Oh, did I? Well, forget it. I've changed my mind. "Li Mu said.
Liu Chong was speechless.
"What the hell do I have to say?"
"What on earth do you want?" Huang Wenyuan was going crazy.
He felt he was going to be played to death by Li Mu.
Li Mu said indifferently, "What? Of course, I'll send you to hell. Why do you ask such a stupid question? Are you stupid? "
"You … you're crazy. I really am the deputy head of the Guanshan Pasture …" Huang Wenyuan was driven mad, unable to understand this man's thinking.
Li Mu said, "I'm not crazy. If I really let you go, I'll be crazy. Ask yourself, if you go back, won't you want to take revenge? Instead of waiting for you to go back and take revenge, it's better to solve it now. After all, a despicable and unscrupulous Celestial Being is a bit threatening … Well, anyway, I've offended you to death today. "
Huang Wenyuan said, "No, no, no, listen to me …"
Li Mu said, "Stop it. The Qing Dynasty has been destroyed. Why are you still talking about it … If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. Why didn't you make it clear at the beginning? If you had made it clear at the beginning, I wouldn't have offended you so badly. Maybe we could have been friends. "
Huang Wenyuan was speechless.
"Blame me?"
He was really going crazy.
Liu Chong, who was standing aside, also thought he might have met a lunatic with a mental disorder.
He could neither reason with Li Mu, nor threaten him, let alone talk about the ways of the world.
"Your Honor, in any case, you'd better think about what you're doing. Even if Young Master Huang is wrong, he doesn't deserve to die. If you kill him, you'll be the enemy of the entire Guanshan Pasture. You …"
"You don't understand." Li Mu said, "You can't represent the Guanshan Pasture. A deputy head can't represent the Guanshan Pasture, either. What's more, even if I have to be the enemy of the Guanshan Pasture, I don't care." At that, he smiled and said flatly, "Because in this Taibai County, I'm invincible."
With that, he chopped off Huang Wenyuan's head with his broadsword.
