Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

"When I see him, I'll win him over as your father-in-law, okay?"

Seeing Li Er smiling and looking at himself playfully, Zhang Dun gave a thumbs up and said, "Second Uncle has a keen eye, so I know I can't hide it from you."

"Lao Fang, Lao Du, you stay here and bring someone to bring the potatoes back!"

Li Er arranged in a deep voice: "Lao Li, Xiao Li, you go with me."

"Yes!" Li Jing and Li Daozong clasped their fists solemnly.

Under the leadership of Zhang Dun, the crowd walked into Chang'an City and came to the outside of the Mu's house.

"Ok?"

Zhang Dun was stunned, and saw two servants and a middle-aged man standing at the door of Mu's house from a distance.

Not a shepherd!

Zhang Dun squinted his eyes and looked at them. The two servants were tall and stood at the door looking around vigilantly.

Another middle-aged man, with his hands behind his back, saw them and squinted his eyes.

"What's going on?" Seeing Zhang Dun stop, Li Er asked in confusion.

Zhang Dun pouted his chin in the direction of the door, and said, "The Mu family must have encountered something."

Li Daozong, who was following behind, asked curiously: "How do you say?"

"It's like this..." Zhang Dun patiently told everyone what happened to the Mu family.

Li Er was surprised: "You still see a doctor?"

Zhang Dun rolled his eyes: "Is this the point?"

The point is, someone is playing tricks behind the scenes, trying to destroy Mu Qingcang's family!

"Go and ask and you will know." Li Er gave Li Jing a look.

Li Jing nodded slightly, and strode over.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

The middle-aged man raised his hand to stop him and asked in a cold voice.

Li Jing laughed and said, "I'm here to find Patriarch Mu."

The middle-aged man said with a straight face, "He's not free today!"

Li Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you from the Mu family? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently, "You don't care who I am! Get lost!"

"You bastard!" Li Daozong was furious, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Should I give you face or not?"

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer: "Do you want to do something? Before you do it, you can think clearly about who you are beating. Don't go to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion by then, and it will be too late to cry!"

Li Er walked slowly, and asked in a cold voice: "If you say you want to arrest people and put them in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, you should just arrest people and go in. Are you an official in the imperial court?"

The middle-aged man stared at him and said, "Why do you ask so many questions!"

As soon as the words were finished, Li Daozong walked up to him, grabbed his collar, grinned and said: "I don't want to have a black nose and a swollen face, so I can answer whatever I ask you!"

"Presumptuous!" Two burly servants shouted angrily.

Seeing that they were about to come, Li Daozong held the middle-aged man's neck, grinned and said, "If you want him to die, you can come here."

Hearing this, the two servants paused, not daring to take another step forward.

Li Daozong turned his head, stared at the pale middle-aged man, raised his hand and patted his cheek, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, are you an official in the imperial court?"

The middle-aged man's throat moved a few times, and his voice trembled: "I don't have one, but our Patriarch is!"

Zhang Dun walked up to Li Er and asked curiously, "Who is your Patriarch?"

The middle-aged man raised his head and said loudly: "My Patriarch is the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple!"

Taichang Temple Shaoqing?That would make sense!

Zhang Dun frowned, the Imperial Medical Office was under the management of Taichang Temple.

With the appearance of the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, those so-called "miracle doctors" in Chang'an City naturally dare not seriously treat Mu Qingcang's daughter.

"You're talking about Yu Tao?" Suddenly, Li Er asked with a hint of slowness in his tone.

The middle-aged man was surprised: "You know our Patriarch?"

Li Er was silent, frowning and thinking.

He is too familiar with Yu Tao.

Half a year ago, I personally promoted him to be the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.

In terms of ability, he is not lacking, but he has a problem, which is called being able to talk.

It's ugly, it's flattering.

Zhang Dun clicked his tongue and said to Li Er, "Second Uncle, let's go in and have a look?"

Li Er pondered for two seconds and said, "Go in and have a look."

Seeing Zhang Dun and Li Er walk into the house, the middle-aged man panicked and said, "You can't go in!"

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt that his neck was being squeezed tightly, and his breathing was a little short.

Li Daozong patted his cheek with a smile, and said: "Do you have a share here?"

After finishing speaking, amidst the pain of the middle-aged man, Li Daozong twisted his arm, and followed Li Er into the courtyard.

Li Jing walked at the end, and after stepping over the threshold, he saw the two burly servants wanting to follow, he closed the gate with a smile and stopped them.

"How to go?"

"Second Uncle, I know the way."

Under Zhang Dun's leadership, the crowd walked through the courtyard towards the front hall.

Seeing two figures standing in the front hall, Zhang Dun paused, turned around and gestured for silence.

Li Daozong covered the middle-aged man's mouth and nose without hesitation to prevent him from screaming suddenly.

Li Er stared at the two people in the front hall. He was not familiar with Mu Qingcang, but he was very familiar with the other Yu Tao who was wearing a purple robe.

"Patriarch Mu, it's been a while, and he didn't say a word, what's the way?"

At this moment, Yu Tao suddenly spoke.

Mu Qingcang's face was livid, he stared straight at the middle-aged man with a playful smile in front of him, and said, "I don't know what Yu Shaoqing wants Mu to say?"

Yu Tao cupped his fists, bowed in the direction of the palace, and said with a smile, "Of course it's about your disrespect to His Majesty and your absconding in fear of crime."

Mu Qingcang took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that I, Mu, would be held accountable?"

"But I didn't say that, if I don't hold you accountable." Yu Tao put down his arms, and said lightly, "You don't think that you offended His Majesty in the former Sui Dynasty, and you will be fine after the change of dynasty?"

"Yu Shaoqing, Mumou wants to ask you a question!" Mu Qingcang said angrily, "Is it because you are playing tricks behind my back?"

Chapter 390 When did Taichang Temple become so lenient?

"What do you mean by making ghosts?" Yu Tao laughed and said, "If you said that you went to those genius doctors in the city to treat Qianjin, but they failed to cure her and made her condition worse, then I did it."

"You—" Mu Qingcang clenched his fists and glared at him.

It never occurred to Yu Tao to admit it so directly.

Yu Tao frowned, and said lightly: "Mu Qingcang, you still didn't understand what I just said."

"In the former Sui Dynasty, you abused the emperor's family, and everyone in the government and the public knew it. At that time, the emperor's golden cup fell, and now His Majesty is even more angry and draws his sword."

"When the world was in chaos, you fled overseas. The laws of the Tang Dynasty could not cure your crime of disrespect, but now that you return to Chang'an City, according to the law, you and your family will be exiled for at least three thousand miles."

"The so-called death of the master humiliating the minister, when you abused the emperor, why didn't you think that you would end up today?"

Mu Qing smiled angrily, "You just want to borrow my head, Mu, as a ladder for you, so that you, the young minister of Taichang Temple, can go one step further in the temple!"

Yu Tao nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I think, can't I?"

Mu Qingcang gritted his teeth and said: "In the court, why did you become such a scum!

Yu Tao sneered and said, "You think if I don't deal with you, no one will deal with you?"

"There are plenty of people in the court who want to deal with you. If I don't strike first, someone may be there first."

"If you want to blame, I can only blame you. Why do you want to come back when you are so good?"

Mu Qingcang pursed his lips, if he knew that he would end up today, he would not return to Datang even if he was killed.

"How do you want to deal with me?"

Mu Qingcang asked.

"This time I came here and prepared two things for you."

Yu Tao smiled and shook his sleeves, a white silk and a palm-sized wine jar fell into the palm of his hand, "One is poisonous wine, the other is white silk, you choose the same."

Mu Qing said with red eyes: "If you choose, will you let my daughter go?"

"Let it go? How could it be?"

Yu Tao shook his head and said, "If you choose poisonous wine, I will let your daughter choose Bai Ling. If you choose Bai Ling, I will let your daughter drink poisonous wine."

Seeing Mu Qingcang's furious appearance, Yu Tao said in a calm tone:

"Mu Qingcang, today I will make my words clearer. Only if your family dies in fear of sin, I, the young minister of Taichang Temple, can become the minister of Taichang Temple."

"One word difference, do you know how long I have to work hard? I might even become an official, and I can't get rid of the word 'less'."

"But if your family dies in fear of sin, and I go to the court, maybe I will lose ten years of hard work. If it were you, wouldn't you choose this way?"

Mu Qingcang said angrily, "Your Majesty is not a fool."

Yu Tao laughed and said, "But His Majesty is not a saint either."

"..."

At a corner farther outside the front hall, Li Jing and Li Daozong, who were watching the two, were dumbfounded.

The corners of Li Er's eyes twitched a few times.

Zhang Dun clicked his tongue, how dare this old guy speak.

Mu Qingcang said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will hear your words?"

Yu Tao couldn't help laughing again, "Can Your Majesty come to your house?"

"..." Outside the front hall, Li Daozong and Li Jing looked at Li Er at the same time.

"See what I'm doing?" Li Er stared back.

At this moment, Mu Qingcang's excited voice suddenly sounded in the front hall: "I know Ping Kangbo!"

Sure enough, when Zhang Dun heard this from a distance, he sighed secretly, and he really guessed it.

"This time, Yu Shaoqing is about to throw a mouse trick." Li Daozong said in a low voice.

Li Jing nodded slightly, "Yes, with Ping Kangbo's status in the court, this Yu Tao has to give way."

Zhang Dun was surprised, "I'm so good?"

"Mu Qingcang is also betting that Yu Tao doesn't know what relationship he has with you. If Yu Tao hears your name and doesn't dare to do anything to him, wouldn't he escape the disaster?"

Li Er looked at him and said, "If I were Yu Tao, I would have to be afraid of you. After all, even if a mad dog doesn't bite, being stared at is enough to scare people."

Zhang Dun was stunned, are you using words that should be used for boasting?

"Zhang Dun?"

At this moment, Yu Tao's voice sounded a little surprised, "What's the use of knowing that bastard?"

"..." Suddenly, Li Er, Li Jing, and Li Daozong at the corner outside the front hall looked at Zhang Dun at the same time.

"..." Zhang Dun ignored them, looked at Yu Tao in the hall with deep eyes, and said bad things about people behind his back, the old guy is really ignorant.

Yu Tao didn't know that there were people standing outside, so he sneered and said, "Zhang Dun offended civil and military officials, and his fate will not be better than yours."

"Civil and military officials dare not provoke him, so are they still afraid of provoking you?"

"You know him, it will only make you die faster."
