Beijing.
In the shabby Mu Residence.
"Milords, what's the matter?" Mu Yu looked at the cruel official who had barged in. After being spanked, his injuries were quite serious. The first thing he did was to return to the Mu residence to rest. After a short rest, a cruel official came to his door.
"Lord Mu, come with us. We will immediately go to the northwest to take up our post.”A few fierce officials stared coldly at Mu Yu, who was supported by an old man.
"Our lord is injured. How can we travel such a long distance?”The old man's expression changed.
"This is none of our business. His Majesty has decreed that after twenty strokes, he will immediately go to the northwest to take up his post.”A few fierce officials said.
"His Majesty's original words were to beat him twenty times and then let the scholar go to the northwest to take up his post, but he did not say immediately.”"Whose people are you?" Mu Yu sneered. Go back and tell him that I will follow the two Chief Officials to the northwest and that there is no need for you to escort me.”
It was obvious that the other party had come with ill intentions.
"We only have one question. Is Lord Mu leaving or not?”A few fierce officials placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
"Let's go!" Mu Yu pushed Uncle Fu away and almost fell to the ground. The 20 big boards of this era were no joke. It was normal for skin to be torn. As he walked, Mu Yu said,"Brothers, does His Majesty really want me to die on this long journey?”
"This is not His Majesty's intention. It's just that the scholar did something he shouldn't have done in court.”A cruel official said impatiently.
"Is it really not His Majesty's intention?" Mu Yu said.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Scholar Mu, you just have to wait for your death. No one can protect you. Cooperate with us and save us trouble.”A few cruel officials spoke.
"If it wasn't His Majesty's intention, you'd better get lost.”Mu Yu suddenly turned hostile and told the few cruel officials to scram.
The cruel officials 'expressions changed and they pulled out their knives to threaten him again.
"If you want to die, use a knife and attack an official of the imperial court. I'll see how many heads you and your family have left to chop off.”Mu Yu stood there and sneered as he pointed at his neck.""Come, I won't move. If you want to chop, chop.”
The expressions of the cruel officials changed.
"No matter who sent you here, let him remember this. This debt will be settled with him sooner or later. This matter is not over.”Mu Yu sneered.
Seeing that the threat of pulling out a knife was useless against Mu Yu, the few cruel officials hesitated. They had not officially accepted the order, but a lord had said that this child had insulted the Emperor in the court and deserved to die, so they were sent here. However, there was no such thing as a verbal command. If he really did anything rash, they would have to pay with their lives. Originally, when an official who had made a huge mistake threatened him with a knife, he would be scared out of his wits and follow him away. They did not expect Mu Yu to be so arrogant and unruly.
Presumably, that lord also wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with the Emperor. When the Emperor asked, he said that Mu Yu had died on the way to the northwest to take up his post, giving the Emperor a legitimate death.
Of course, it was normal that this Lord Mu would most likely be tortured to death on the way. How else could he appease His Majesty?
However, there was no procedure. In other words, there was no death order.
They could only threaten him. They really didn't dare to use force.
"Lord Mu, we are also following orders. If you are unwilling, just pretend that we have never been here.”The few cruel officials turned around and left without saying a word.
"Which idiot sent this person? If I don't die, I'll teach him a lesson sooner or later.”Mu Yu rolled his eyes and went back to rest.
If Mu Yu had been a little more soft-hearted, he would have been frightened and followed her, and he would have been finished. However, he dared to scold the empress in public, which meant that he was soft-hearted!
……
After Governor Yang came out of Six Fan School, the carriage drove to a remote and narrow courtyard under the guidance of the attendant.
There were two words on the ancient card at the door: Mu Manor.
"This is the residence of the Attendant Scholar?" Governor Yang looked at this simple and remote courtyard. He could not believe that this was the residence of a Rank-4 official.
"Mu Shi was appointed as a scholar only a few years ago, and he has only received the salary of the imperial court for two years.”The deputy governor who came along said.
In the other regions, there were constant internal conflicts and factions of officials. Governor Yang and Vice Governor Liu also belonged to different factions. However, when it came to matters of the people's livelihood, they temporarily abandoned their previous grudges and cooperated to plead for the people.
"Lord Mu is a good official." Governor Yang said.
Governor Liu nodded.
Being in the imperial court, he could at least earn some extra income with a flick of his finger and not have to worry about food and drink. He could also live in a good courtyard.
This wasn't greed, it was income.
There was extra income from all walks of life.
For example, the entrance fee for the guards.
For example, when the Six Fan School raided a house, they could miss out on some of the checks. This was something that everyone knew…
The scholar also had channels.
These situations could only mean that the officials were honest.
……
"Bang bang bang". After arriving at the Scholar's Mansion, Governor Yang's subordinates went up to the front door.
" Where did these idiots come from, wave after wave…" A loud curse came from inside the door."Do you really want to die? Don't open the door. Leave them outside."
Governor Yang was speechless.
Governor Qin was speechless.
"Ahem." "Scholar Mu, I, Yang Tian, am here to pay my respects to Lord Mu…" Governor Yang coughed.
The manor fell silent.
