I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

At the same time, behind Li Wu's courtyard.

Ying Yu sat on his big hammer, staring at the ants on the ground without blinking, in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the woodshed, Li Mu and Su Yuwei sat side by side on the haystack.

"So, the cooperation with the Lin family has always been your senior brother's idea. You have only arrived in Yanshan City in the past two days."

Li Mu stared at Su Yuwei's eyes seriously, as if he wanted to see something from them.

"What I said before was all heard from Luo You. No one from the Lin family negotiated with you."

Su Yuwei nodded, her expression gloomy.

"My senior brother said that we encountered some troubles here, so I brought all the people from Jing'an City here."

As he said this, he looked back at Li Mu, then lowered his head again, his eyes empty.

"Before his death, Master entrusted the power of Jing'an City to me. At first, the people in the organization did not believe in me."

"Not long after, my senior brother found me with the sect's token. At that time, I was worried about the organization's affairs, so with the help of my senior brother, I successfully took over the power of Jing'an City."

After saying this, Su Yuwei sighed softly.

"Before you came here, didn't you know anything about what was going on here?"

Li Mu asked doubtfully.

"Brother, just say that now that the Prince of Yan's Mansion has lost power, the Lin family has the opportunity to unite with the other small families in the North and completely control the North."

Su Yuwei gritted her teeth and continued:

"But I think this is a direct war against the imperial power, which is not in line with the current situation and the interests of the strategists."

Li Mu stared at Su Yuwei's eyes, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he said nothing, waiting for her to continue.

"However, I explained my strength to my senior brother, but he ignored me. Then Luo You came to me and explained to me the plan of my senior brother and the Lin family, and tampered with my food."

After a pause, Su Yuwei turned her head and forced a smile at Li Mu.

"You know everything that happened afterwards, so what are you going to do with me?"

Li Mu was about to speak, then turned and looked towards the door of the woodshed.

After a while, the door of the woodshed was pushed open, and Li Linger looked down at the two of them with a calm tone.

"The study is waiting for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left without looking back.

Li Mu looked at Su Yuwei and spread his hands.

"I'll go and get you a chance for leniency."

After saying that, he got up and walked out of the woodshed and went towards the study.

In the study, Li Linger sat where Li Mu usually sat.

Seeing Li Mu pushing the door open, he said sarcastically,

"You are so in love, you don't want to be apart for even a moment. How come you forgot about Xiao Zhao so quickly?"

Then he snorted coldly, turned his head away and no longer looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu has become a little accustomed to this, and doesn't care about the little girl who always pretends to be cool.

He strode to the table and spoke to Li Ling'er.

"The previous assassination at Qingfeng Mountain should have nothing to do with Su Yuwei."

Hearing this, Li Linger turned around in surprise, stared at Li Mu angrily, slammed her hands on the table, and spoke fiercely.

"You believe what she says. Aren't you afraid? This is the beauty trap you mentioned."

In fact, Li Mu really thought at the beginning whether this was a beauty trap designed by the Lin family and the Zongheng family. After all, this kind of innocent little white flower who looked so inexperienced really met the criteria of a beauty trap.

Of course, Li Mu also admitted that some of his values ​​were influenced by his five senses. However, Li Mu was really unwilling to let Li Ling'er kill Su Yuwei because of suspicion, so he could only save Su Yuwei first. He secretly decided that if Su Yuwei was really a wolf, he would no longer be soft-hearted.

At this time, Li Linger's tone slowed down and she continued:

"I'm here to talk to you about serious matters."

Then he stretched out a finger and pointed in the air, motioning Li Mu to sit down and talk.

Seeing that the girl suddenly wanted to talk about serious matters again, Li Mu also sat aside and stared at Li Ling'er, wanting to see what she was going to say.

Not long after.

"So, how are you going to make the Lin family make mistakes on their own initiative?"

After listening to Li Ling'er's words, Li Mu nodded secretly in his heart and then asked.

Li Ling'er did not answer Li Mu's question, but raised her beautiful eyebrows at Li Mu.

"Me? What can I do."

Li Mu fell back and leaned against the chair, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and ignored Li Ling'er.

Seeing this, Li Linger was so angry that her teeth itched. She struggled for a while and said:

"If the Qingfeng Mountain incident really has nothing to do with her, we can discuss her matter later."

After saying this, he glared at Li Mu fiercely.

At this moment, Li Mu was so happy that his heart blossomed, but he still had an expression of indifference on his face. He thought to himself

"This girl, how can she be as cunning as a monkey one moment and so easily fooled the next."

With a snap, Li Linger suddenly stood up, pressed her hands hard on the table, and stared at Li Mu fiercely.

"Pervert! Don't go too far!"

Hearing this, Li Mu knew that he shouldn't push his luck too far, so he raised his hand to signal Li Ling'er to be patient.

After Li Ling'er sat back in her chair, she spoke again.

"In fact, I have never understood why you keep saying that the Lin family is some wealthy family, or that they are deeply rooted in Yanshan City."

"What on earth can he rely on to fight against the Prince of Yan's Mansion? He has no soldiers and no power. At most, he has a few officials in the court who can have a say. At most, he is a civilian evil force."

Li Mu looked at Li Ling'er in confusion.

"Just find a slick guy and kill him, and that's it."

Li Linger glanced at Li Mu unhappily.

"It's easy for you to say that, slick guy. The current emperor is a benevolent ruler. What reason does the Prince of Yan have to exterminate an entire family? Do you think we are bandits?"

Li Ling'er was secretly complaining.

"Youzhi said you had a solution, but it seems that Youzhi can also be wrong sometimes."

"The Lin family controls most of the chambers of commerce and guilds in the North, and they also have secret dealings with a large number of officials."

As she spoke, Li Linger pointed at the clothes Li Mu was wearing.

"More than half of the fabrics and ready-made clothes on the market are controlled by the Lin family, not just Yanshan City, but the entire Northland."

Listening to Li Ling'er's words, Li Mu frowned and muttered to himself,

"So it's a commercial empire. The technology in this world is a bit distorted. As for fabrics, I'm afraid I can't compete with the Lin family with what I learned from books."

Li Mu placed his hands on the table, tapping lightly with his fingertips.

Seeing this scene, Li Linger sighed slightly in her heart, knowing that it was indeed difficult for Li Mu.

"For so many years, my father couldn't solve the problem, and I actually counted on him."

Suddenly, Li Mu paused tapping the table, then raised his hand and slapped his forehead hard.

"What am I thinking about? I've watched too many TV dramas. Why do I have to defeat the Lin family?"

Li Linger looked at Li Mu's inexplicable actions and spoke in confusion.

"What did you say? What TV series?"

Li Mu laughed at himself and looked up at Li Ling'er.

"Didn't you say that the emperor should have known that the Lin family might have colluded with Ran Nuren?"

Li Ling'er nodded doubtfully.

"But without evidence, even the emperor can't do that."

At this time, Li Mu waved his hands, looking very disappointed.

"If there is no evidence, then give him the evidence. Professional matters should be left to professionals. We just need to be prepared for the Lin family to fight to the death."

Li Muxin said,

"You are still a princess after all, and you are suddenly being reasonable now."

As he spoke, Li Mu stood up, put his head close to Li Linger's ear and whispered.

After saying that, Li Mu sat back in his chair, let out a long breath, and said to Li Ling'er:

"These are enough. As for the intrigues in official circles, I am not good at them."

Li Linger looked at Li Mu blankly. After a long while, she uttered two words:

"Shameless!"
