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

Three days passed in a flash.

Qingfeng Mountain, in the dense forest on the back mountain.

Two figures wrapped in black robes stood in the woods.

"Your Majesty, the three people from Yang County are all dead. The ones who did it were Li Mu and the farmer's Xu Doudou. There is also a woman whose identity is unknown."

"Well, a good death."

"But the local government has already known about it."

"Don't worry about it. He has already got the things?"

"No, they rescued the people and left immediately. They did not search the secret room."

Hearing this, the figure wrapped in the black robe twitched noticeably, and was obviously a little unbelievable, and said angrily:

"People like them love to fight monsters and hunt for treasures. Did you hide the things too secretly? What about the other thing?"

"Your Majesty, you can see that the things are not hidden at all. As for the other thing, the news has not been sent back yet."

The other man in black robe was obviously very afraid of the person in front of him. His tone was respectful and his voice trembled slightly.

"Retrieve the items and find a way to hand them over to Li Mu."

After saying this, the man in black robe who spoke disappeared from the spot, and the remaining men in black robes breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been pardoned.

----

at the same time.

Li Mu sat on a throne in a bandit's hideout, with the bandit leader's body under his feet.

Looking around, there were more than thirty bandits kneeling densely packed below, trembling and not daring to make a sound. Around them, more than a dozen people dressed the same as them were lying in a mess, obviously dead.

At this time, Shanshan came from behind the hall with seven or eight women dressed as village women.

"Sir, everyone is here."

Li Mu did not respond, but waved his hand, signaling Shanshan to take the people out of the hall first.

After Shanshan left, Li Mu looked around and sighed:

"This is the building of the palace. With this skill, there is nothing else you can do."

Then he kicked the corpse away and cleared his throat. When everyone saw this, they all crawled back a few steps, fearing that Li Mu would get excited and start fighting again.

"I'll give you a way out now. Tie each other up and wait for the government to come and deal with it."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately despairing and were about to beg for mercy, but they heard Li Mu continue in a cold tone:

"Or go with your boss and move to another place to resume your old business!"

How could everyone understand what Li Mu meant? The boss was already dead, so he had to move to another place. Could he go to the underworld and challenge the King of Hell?

Suddenly, one of the smarter ones reached out to untie his belt and begged the people next to him to tie him up.

When everyone saw this, they all followed suit. Soon, everyone in the hall was tied together.

Li Mu was immediately happy when he saw it.

"What a talent. Two people and three legs!"

Not only were everyone's hands tied behind their backs, but their feet were also tied together with the feet of the people around them.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks came towards Li Mu with a flattering look on his face. He held a rope made of hemp in his hand and tried to please Li Mu carefully.

"Young man, are you satisfied with this?"

As he said this, he put his hands behind his back, turned around, and signaled Li Mu to tie him up as well.

Li Mu smiled and patted the man's shoulder.

"If there is a future, you don't need it. Just reform yourself. I'm in Changping Village, waiting for your good news."

After hearing this, the slight worry that had just risen in everyone's hearts disappeared instantly.

Now the bandit leader has been killed by Li Mu, and his group of people will at most be sent to forced labor. There may still be a chance after three to five years, if there is an amnesty.

At this time, Shanshan came back from outside the palace and saw Zhao Chuyi looking silly, staring at Li Mu with shining eyes. She sighed slightly, walked up to him carefully, and reminded him in a low voice,

"Miss, in the past three days, we have wiped out four waves of mountain bandits, two groups of vagrants, and captured and killed more than twenty bandits. If we continue like this, then we will..."

Before Shanshan could finish her words, Zhao Chuyi interrupted her, her eyes already fixed on Li Mu.

"Is there anything wrong with contributing to the court and helping my father?"

Shanshan saw that her young lady was beyond help, so she spoke faster.

"But we are getting farther and farther away from Donglai Pass. Donglai Pass is in the east. We have been heading north since we came out of Yang County. If we continue north, we will reach Yubai."

Zhao Chuyi had an indifferent tone.

"Don't worry, business is more important."

"What serious business? Yesterday I heard someone say that there is a pair of Yaksha chivalrous couple in the north, doing justice everywhere. If this news is reported..."

Before Shanshan could finish, Zhao Chuyi finally turned to look at her and asked in confusion,

"What Yaksha? That sounds terrible."

"Oh, young lady, what are you complaining about? What we are talking about is a pair of chivalrous lovers followed by a female demon."

Shanshan looked like she had lost all hope in life. She turned around and muttered quietly,

"Could it be that my true love has been beaten to death by the young master?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chuyi finally couldn't help herself and laughed so hard that her body shook. She said jokingly:

"You are not talking about that old pervert Ran Nu, are you?"

"Although it's not a good thing, at least it's a good vision."

Shanshan replied seriously, then looked at Zhao Chuyi.

"The young lady seems very happy these past two days. I haven't seen her smile like this for a long time."

At this time, Li Mu walked towards the two of them and bowed in a pretentious manner from a distance.

"Let's go, two heroes!"

Zhao Chuyi rolled her beautiful eyes at Li Mu.

Li Mu saw the beauty's angry look and left a sentence.

"The veil is worn askew."

Then he walked straight out of the hall.

Zhao Chuyi seemed to remember something at this time, stretched out her hand to pull Shanshan to her side, and asked in a low voice like a thief:

"Is it confirmed, yes or no?"

Hearing this, Shanshan was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

"It shouldn't be. The imperial edict for the canonization arrived at Prince Yan's mansion yesterday, and Prince Yan's second son personally received the edict."

There was an imperceptible flash of disappointment in Zhao Chuyi's eyes, and then she patted her chest in a pretentious manner.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Miss, this is the prince who was personally appointed by His Majesty. Even the King of Yan cannot change this. If you do this, I'm afraid you will harm the young master."

At this time, Shanshan reminded.

Zhao Chuyi looked at Shanshan with some surprise, waved her hand, and chased in the direction Li Mu left, humming softly.

"Humph, he's not afraid!"

----

Half an hour later.

The three of them stood at the entrance of Changping Village.

The old village chief and a group of villagers surrounded the three people, expressing their gratitude to them.

Li Mu exchanged greetings with the villagers for half an hour and refused any thanks. Then everyone dispersed under the leadership of the old village chief.

"Thanks!"

Seeing that the villagers finally left, Li Mu let out a long sigh and turned to Zhao Chuyi and said.

Zhao Chuyi was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that Li Mu had been asking her about the meaning of some ancient sayings of the Xing Dynasty, and she quickly said:

"What's there to thank for? Anyone who has read a little bit of books knows it."

Li Mu was stunned and thought

"If you don't know how to chat, let's not force it. I feel like you are just pointing fingers at me, and I have evidence."

Zhao Chuyi also realized that her words were a little inappropriate. Just as she was about to explain, she saw Li Mu waving his hand and said with a smile:

"I know you don't mean that. Let's go."

"Where?"

"Winter is coming!"

At this time, Shanshan approached Zhao Chuyi, bent down and put her head close to her ear and said:

"Miss, the young master just rejected all the gifts of thanks from the villagers."

"So what? Giving a favor without asking for anything in return is what a gentleman does."

Zhao Chuyi didn't look at Shanshan, and there was some impatience in her tone.

Seeing that her mistress didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, Shanshan poked her slender waist with her finger and spoke anxiously,

"But we don't have enough money, and the young master is such a big eater."

Hearing this, Zhao Chuyi's cheeks turned red. She reached out to cover Shanshan's mouth and glanced in the direction of Li Mu.

But Li Mu was looking at this side with an embarrassed expression. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Li Mu say:

"Don't worry, you won't go hungry with me here."

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu's ears twitched and he looked up.

I saw two soldiers escorting the "talent" from the mountain stronghold towards me.
