"You two are old enough to live in a dog''s stomach!" Li daozong was angry when he saw the two men''s courteous appearance.


    Qu tushou and Zhang Xiangxiang are both in their 30s and 40s. They are also high-ranking and powerful at ordinary times. In front of Li daozong, they can only be submissive and bow down.


    "What Uncle Li taught me was that my nephew had no eyes and wronged brother Mo!" Zhang Daxiang confessed that he was a bachelor.


    Zhang Xiangxiang''s name is powerful. Not only that, his two younger brothers, Zhang Dasu and Zhang Daan, are estimated to be on the genealogy and rank among the big generation. It''s really hard to name them.


    Qu tushou also made amends again and again. Li daozong was not only a royal family, but also made great achievements in war. His status was too high. Qu tushou could only listen.


    "Merton, these two fools, I have scolded them. I have the cheek to ask them for mercy! Don''t give them general knowledge!" Li daozong glared at them and begged Merton.


    "Lord Mo, my parents and my father share the feeling of robe. I also ask Lord Mo to forgive me for the old feelings of our ancestors." Zhang Daxiang said earnestly.


    "Just talk!" Li daozong snorted coldly.


    Qu tushou suddenly took out a yellow document from his arms and handed it over.


    "Title deed?" Li daozong took a look and raised his eyebrows.


    "We know that the Mohist experimental field is experimenting with new crops, and even your majesty is full of praise, but the 100 mu is too small. I''m afraid it will delay your Majesty''s great event. We happen to have 400 mu of land adjacent to the Mohist experimental field. We specially give it to the Mohist experimental field. We can repay your Majesty''s great kindness to us." Qu tushou was very open-minded. He made an apology to Merton, but let Merton take no responsibility.


    To tell the truth, 400 mu of land is nothing to the two governments, but these fields are all close to Chang''an City, which is particularly rare. Not to mention that they can get the land adjacent to the Mohist experimental field, which shows their sincerity.


    The two great princes came to the door and softened themselves. It can be said that they gave Merton enough face. In addition, Li Dao''s family begged for mercy, Merton was not easy to handle.


    "You two are welcome. You two have devoted your whole life to the country. It''s my duty and obligation to draw pictures for the two old countries. As for these generous gifts, Mo is really ashamed to accept them." Merton refused.


    "Why don''t you accept it? If you don''t, how can these two fools have a long memory? Besides, the Mohist experimental field cultivated high-yield seeds one day earlier, which is the greatest blessing of the people of the Tang Dynasty." Li daozong took over the title deed without waiting for Merton''s refusal.


    "Don''t worry, this is the compensation you deserve. It''s not taking bribes. I''m sure you won''t do anything at all." Li daozong promised in a low voice.


    Merton smiled bitterly. Now he remembered the evaluation of the prince in history. He loved money very much. Since Li daozong had taken over, Merton couldn''t refuse again.


    Seeing that Merton did not refuse again, Zhang Daxiang and Qu tushou were also relieved.


    "I don''t know when Lord Mo will have time. We''ll come to ask for advice in person." Zhang dashou held his posture very low.


    "What time do you have to wait? I think it''s ok now," Li daozong said simply.


    "I wonder if it''s convenient for brother Mo?" Qu tushou asked. He was also anxious. The sooner he solved this matter, the sooner he would restore the reputation of Jiang Zhong''s mansion.


    Merton thought about it. When he came to help the Ministry of punishment draw a portrait this time, the painters, painters and papers were all complete, so he nodded and said, "I don''t have anything down here. Just I need several people close to the two old princes to dictate when I want to paint."


    "Don''t worry, brother Mo, we''ve already arrived!" Zhang Daxiang pointed to several carriages that had been waiting nearby. They had already learned about the conditions of Merton''s painting from Yan''s population and prepared in advance.


    "Wang is also familiar with the two old friends and should be able to help!" Li said.


    In that case, what else can Merton say? He immediately borrowed the territory of the Ministry of punishment and started work directly.


    When Zhang Xiangxiang and Qu tushou took the portraits of Qu tutong and Zhang Gongjin, thanked Merton repeatedly and left in tears, the whole Chang''an city focused on the Laiguo government.


    So far, twenty-three portraits of twenty-four meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion have been completed, leaving only the portrait of Du Ruhui, the Duke of Lai, unfinished. Everyone is watching what Du Fu is going to do.


    "Bad son!"


    In the Laiguo government, Du''s angry face hated iron and steel. Du he knelt in front of Du Ruhui''s spirit.


    At this time, Du he looked defeated and no longer had the arrogance and domineering of yesterday. Bad news came one after another. First, Yan Yuan, who thought he was a fool, went to the court to prove the innocence of the Mohist family, and then Yan Liben refused to paint, cutting off his last way back. In addition, the opposition of Duke Jiang Zhong and Duke Zou directly put the Duke of Lai on the cusp of the storm.


    "I don''t believe that Mozi dared not draw a picture of his father!" Du he still said hard.


    "The Mo family doesn''t dare, but every day he delays, our Du family will become the laughing stock of Chang''an city one more day, and we will lose an imperial heart. Your father''s hard-working reputation will be destroyed." Du said sadly.


    "Don''t worry, sister-in-law. The most urgent thing now is to get the forgiveness of the Mohist school as soon as possible and draw the portrait of the second brother as soon as possible. In this way, we can restore the reputation of the Du family." Du Chuke comforted that he was Du Ruhui''s younger brother. Du invited him to discuss such a big matter in the Laiguo government at the first time.


    "Everything depends on my uncle!" Du said helplessly.


    Du Chuke thought for a moment and said, "as far as I know, Qu tushou and Zhang Xiangxiang took out 400 mu of land adjacent to the Mohist experimental field under the intercession of the king of Jiangxia. This is the end of the matter."


    "Four hundred mu of land is simple, and my Du family can take it out." Du hurriedly said.


    "Don''t worry, sister-in-law. Since you want to show the sincerity of my Du family, naturally you can''t be the same as the reparations of their two families. I remember that the Du family still has a house near the Imperial College, and the Mohist hospital is preparing for the women''s medical school for the queen''s illness. It''s better to take this house as an reparation, so that the Mohist family can''t refuse."


    The land near the Imperial College was very valuable, but Du didn''t feel distressed at the moment. He directly asked the housekeeper to take out the land deed and give it to Du Chuke.


    "The reason for this is hol. I''m afraid..."


    Du Shi looked at Du he, closed his eyes sadly and said, "please tell Lord Mo that he Er will return to his old house to be filial to his late husband for three years from now on."


    "Mother!" Du he looked at his mother in amazement and went back to the old house to be filial for three years. Doesn''t that mean he can''t come to Chang''an City in three years. Accustomed to the prosperity of Chang''an City, it''s hard for him to kill him with a pen in his hometown.


    Looking at his mother''s firm expression, he knew that his mother was serious, bowed his head decadent, and his jealousy of Merton reached the peak.


    Du Chuke opened his mouth. He originally wanted to ask Du he to come to the door to make amends himself. Unexpectedly, Du Shi made such a heavy hand.


    But looking at Du he, who was still unconvinced, Du Chuke still felt that Du''s approach was right. Otherwise, the boy could not tell what moths would come out in the future.


    Unfortunately, if Du and Du Chuke knew that Du he encouraged Li Chengqian to revolt and almost destroyed the Du family, they might strangle him now.


    That night, Du Chuke came to apologize in person. After Merton learned about Du Fu''s apology and Du he''s punishment, he knew Du Fu''s sincerity.


    Merton also wanted to solve the storm as soon as possible. He drew Du Ruhui''s portrait with Du Chuke as a template overnight.


    So far, the portraits of the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion have been completed.
