"The officials dare not, I dare not..." Zhang Fa slowly raised his head, feeling secretly glad that thanks to the master's words, he did not open the city gate to greet him. If he really did this, he would probably be unable to escape.

But what Li Mu said just now still made him unable to taste it. What was the marquis's mind? Was he happy or angry? He racked his brains to think, did Li Mu offend him when he was living in Mayi? But no matter how he thought, he didn't have the person Li Mu in his mind, so he couldn't blame him. He was the county magistrate here, a pariah who lived in an outer city. He was a ghost who could have an impression.

Zhang Fa slowly looked up, and at first glance he saw not Li Mu, but Jin Chen standing next to him. After a glance, he was shocked and then praised, "It is worthy of being the Marquis, and the maids around him are all so outstanding. He also secretly scolded his concubine in his heart. What bad idea did you come up with? Can your sister, who can catch up with the Marquis' maid? Fortunately, he didn't have such an idea. If he did, he would probably have backfired.

I just don’t know if the Marquis has the intention to change the taste. If so, those Kushan women would come in handy, but what if he didn’t? Zhang Fa was so upset that he didn’t dare to look at Jin Chen again. He looked at Li Mu. At first glance, he was shocked. Why is this Marquis so young?

He never knew how old Li Mu was. He heard about Zhang Tianai and Li Mu, and he thought that Li Mu was the youngest and older than Zhang Tianai. Zhang Tianai was twenty-four, but now seeing Li Mu's appearance, he was definitely not twenty years old, and he couldn't help feeling sad. What's the good thing about this horse bandit's daughter? An old girl can actually get the favor of the Marquis? Could it be said that being a horse bandit can also accumulate virtue?

Seeing Zhang Fa looking at him with a strange look, Li Mu couldn't help but frown and said unhappily: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by staring at me? Is there anything strange about me?"

"No, no, no," Zhang Fa hurriedly cheered up and said, "The lower official was taken away by the Marquis' aura, and was shocked, shocked."

"Haha," Li Mu chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhang is good at speaking, which is a bit different from what I remember."

"Ah?" Zhang Fa suddenly felt a sudden heart and said with caution: "Mr. Marquis, is it because the lower official had any offense in the past?"

"Not." Li Mu smiled and said, "In the past, I was just a pariah who lived in the outer city. I couldn't see the county magistrate several times a year. However, when I signed up to be a village lord, I had dealt with the county magistrate. If this marquis was correct, he also deducted the marquis' grain. He should have three dou of rice. He only gave one and a half dou, and he should have eighty cents. He gave fifty cents, which made me not enough money to get medicine for my mother. Now when I think about it, it's a fun thing. What do you think about it?"

"This" County Magistrate Zhang didn't know what to say. The local county magistrate was his brother-in-law. When he was just becoming the county magistrate at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the county magistrate was also sent by the court, but then the chaos broke out. The county magistrate did not deal with him, so he colluded with the horse bandits to kill the county magistrate and replaced it with his brother-in-law. Otherwise, he was the local emperor of Mayi, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the yamen runners of each room were all his people.

Li Mu lived in Mayi for more than ten years and naturally knew it, but when he mentioned it, how could Zhang Fa not understand the meaning? He gritted his teeth and said without hesitation: "Even if the marquis doesn't say it, the lower officials will deal with this person. Recently, the lower officials received news that this person was asking for it on his back. It was already a cancer in the county. If it was not removed, the county would have no face to face the people. The lower officials would definitely deal with him and deal with him immediately."

"Ha," Li Mu smiled again, and said nothing more. In fact, the county lieutenant was not kicking him, but the Li Mu of the past. When he mentioned it, he was just annoyed the former Li Mu. It was a common practice to deduct the county lieutenant, and it was not a serious crime, nor was it a big deal.

"I won't mention this anymore. County Magistrate Zhang. You just said that you are Tianai's uncle. Where did you talk about this? Why didn't she tell me? You might be fooling me, right?"

"How dare the lower official?" Zhang Fa said seriously, "When Xiaguan was young, he met Zhang Xun, who had not yet become a horse bandit, that is, Tianai's father. He was a friend of the Eight Bibles. Although he was not a blood relative, he was better than a blood relative." As he said, he sighed again and said, "Before the Tianjian arrived last year, Mayi was the place of four battles, and the marquis knew it. It was not easy to survive in troubled times, so the lower official had to rely on the power of the horse bandits, which was considered to be mutually supporting each other with Zhangjiazhai. This relationship is naturally not worthy of being told by outsiders, so few people know it."

"Oh." Li Mu nodded slightly, but did not doubt that there was indeed such a possibility in chaotic times, and it could not be considered a sin. He was silent for a moment, his attitude improved a little more, and he said to Jin Chen: "Go and find a chair and ask my uncle to sit on it."

Jin Chen bowed slightly and turned around and went out. However, Zhang Fa was shocked and said quickly: "The Marquis has been defeated by the Lord. Although he is a little close, how dare the Lord claim to be the Marquis' uncle? This is it."

"Okay, don't be too humble. I am not giving you face. Your niece has a bad temper, so I am afraid of her." Li Mu didn't hide it and said bluntly. Zhang Fa was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, Jin Chen took a stool and Zhang Fa sat down, but he was more careful and did not dare to confirm.

"This marquis is back this time, and there are three purposes. First, your Majesty is grateful to posthumously conferring his father as the Ma Yi Bo, and he also granted the expenses to expand the ancestral hall. These matters need more help from the Magistrate Zhang."

"It is ought to be true, and the duty of the subordinates must be done by the marquis." Zhang Fa hurriedly responded, but was shocked. It took only a long time to add the title. It was all the title of Earl. Then Li Gan was just a halberd leader. What kind of virtue can he do? It must not be based on his face, or the face of the young marquis in front of him. How much credit is he made, even if he dare not think about it!

"Second, I am here to welcome the bride. I am going to Zhangjiazhai to marry Tianaizhai. I have brought all the bride price and fees. His Majesty also specially awarded a fifth-rank imperial edict, which is considered to be a niece who has not been too arrogant to treat your niece."

"Oh, this is considered a slow treatment. What is preferential treatment? The Marquis is too humble, too humble."

"Third, I think, people say that I return home in glory. I am a person from Mayi and want to repay the village. Although I have no one to help me when I live here, it doesn't matter. I don't care, so please ask the magistrate Zhang County to post a list of articles. I want to repair a college in Mayi and leave some money for young people to study. At the same time, I also have to spend some money to make everyone happy."

"Spread money?" Zhang Fa didn't understand and asked in a low voice: "The Marquis's meaning is not understood by the officials. How is the method of singing?"
