The life of the law lies in its execution, and the execution of the law will help stabilize the national destiny of Daxia.
Therefore, few people dare to violate the laws of Daxia, especially the criminal law, which imposes the most severe penalties.
Although the law must be strictly enforced, unexpected things always happen - punishment is required according to the law, but there is no need for punishment based on common sense.
In this situation, the Criminal Law specifically gave the Ministry of Punishment the power to avoid accountability and placed this power in the hands of the Minister of Punishment.
Theoretically, this power can easily become a means for the royal family and relatives to evade legal investigation.
Judging from the actual situation, this kind of thing rarely happens. The main reason is that the supervisory power of the five great immortal sects prevents the Minister of Punishment from taking any rash action.
But a situation arose that even the original legislators would not have thought of - the Minister of Punishment was imprisoned.
In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Xia rubbed the center of his brow in pain.
Why is it that when it comes to Taoism, there are always some new tricks?
He received two pieces of news. One was that Yunzhi's investigation in the Immortal Secret Realm had yielded results, and he discovered a non-existent Xinhuo Dynasty. There was no need to worry about this, and he could slowly check for information about the Xinhuo Dynasty.
As for Yunzhi's request to move the ancient immortal caves in the Immortal Ruins back to the Taoist Sect, he can agree.
The second news is that the Minister of Punishment is locked in a cell, with the Taoist Taoist Buyu next to him.
If the Minister of Punishment dared to leave the prison directly, Taoist priests would dare to go around shouting that the Great Xia Dynasty was bending the law for personal gain.
If Mr. Wuyu dares to leave the prison directly, the Minister of Punishment will stop him to ensure that he cannot escape.
deadlock.
"How about pardoning Xu Xin?" Emperor Xia murmured to himself. As the emperor, he naturally has the power to pardon him.
After thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea and issued another order.
"The entire Criminal Department will be transferred to Dayan County."
…
"So, is this the reason why you came to the dungeon to visit me?" Mr. Xu stared at his subordinates with an unkind look on his face, wanting to eat people.
"Your Majesty has an order, and we have to obey it." The Minister of Punishment tried his best to say with a straight face, but this scene was so funny that he and several colleagues couldn't hold back, and it took a lot of willpower not to raise the corners of their mouths too much.
.
The Taoist squatted aside without saying a word. According to custom, the Minister of Justice and others wanted to say hello, but looking at Mr. Xu's livid face, they really did not dare to take any action.
"Master Xu, these are the official documents from the past two days. Please review them." The Minister of Punishment respectfully handed over several documents that Master Xu needed to deal with.
Master Xu snorted coldly: "Put it here."
Originally, the Minister of Punishment wanted to say something like, "Just wait a few days, your Majesty will pardon you after having fun" and "Do you need to send some food and bed quilts?", but he thought about it and finally didn't say it out loud.
After his subordinates left the prison, Mr. Xu picked up the papers on the ground and began to review them.
He frowned, a little unhappy.
"Nonsense, I proposed this system after thinking about it for a long time, and its feasibility has been confirmed through county-specific practice. The effect is very good, how can there be any mistakes?"
Taoist Buyu glanced at the contents of the excerpt and roughly understood what was going on. The excerpt mentioned that a system was useless and increased the workload of counties and counties. He suggested streamlining the rules of this system, but this system was Xu Xu's.
How could Xin allow others to point out mistakes in something he was so proud of?
He laughed and said, which sounded like a mockery to Mr. Xu: "You, Mr. Xu, are a saint and you have not made any mistakes. You are so capable, why do you want to be the emperor?"
He was even more displeased and looked at Taoist Wuyu coldly. If he were Master Xu's subordinate, he would not dare to speak at this time, but Taoist Wuyu is not afraid of Mr. Xu.
Jindan, Nascent Soul, and Huashen were defeated three times in a row.
Mr. Buyu is well-informed and has rich criminal experience, and his mastery of legal theory is no less than Mr. Xu.
"...Have you ever thought about legislative interpretation? Is this what the legislators originally thought..."
"...The law has a lag, you forgot..."
"...Don't give me theories, is this the reality..."
The two sides debated more and more fiercely, refusing to give in to each other, and set up soundproof arrays to prevent other prisoners from hearing their conversations.
In the end, Mr. Xu's tone was not as sharp as before. The more he spoke, the lower his aura became. He had to admit that what Taoist Wuyu said made some sense.
"Shut up and let me think about it!"
Mr. Xu lowered his head and thought. Although the old thief said he was wicked, he never joked in this regard. He must be quite serious when he said this.
This is the result that Emperor Xia wanted to get.
Although Xu Xin was dedicated to serving the country, working tirelessly and trying to fill legal loopholes, he would eventually make some inappropriate decisions.
Emperor Xia had no choice but to do so. Xu Xin was proficient in the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty to a level that few others could match. This resulted in few people even being qualified to debate with Xu Xin.
Emperor Xia couldn't say whether what Xu Xin did was right or wrong. He just felt that what he did was inappropriate. As for how to improve it, he didn't know.
It just so happened that Mr. Buyu was proficient in law and had rich experience, so he was the most suitable person to argue with Xu Xin.
Emperor Xia took this opportunity to let the two of them argue.
When Xu Xin realizes his purpose, he can be forgiven.
…
When Yunzhi and Lu Yang returned to Taoism, they happened to meet Meng Jingzhou returning from the dense forest.
He figured out something in the dense forest and came to a great enlightenment. He formed an elixir when he returned to the Demon Suppressing Pass, leaving Taoyao Ye and Man Gu to continue to look for their own opportunities. He returned to the Taoist Sect alone.
As for the trivial matter of encountering a disciple from an aristocratic family showing off his wealth on the way back and being slapped in the face by him who concealed his identity, it is not worth mentioning.
"Haha, you can't believe that this young master has also formed an elixir!"
Meng Jingzhou started to show off as soon as he saw Lu Yang.
Although he didn't know what kind of golden elixir Lu Yang had formed, he was confident that his own golden elixir was the strongest and no one could defeat it.
"Let me tell you, my young master's golden elixir is unprecedented, and I am about to break the fate of being single!"
Meng Jingzhou was so high-spirited that he didn't look like he was forming a pill. He looked like he had just become a great master in the tribulation stage and would not go any further.
Lu Yang was very surprised and did not lie: "You still have this ability? What kind of golden elixir did you get?"
Meng Jingzhou smiled and pulled Lu Yang to drink tea in the teahouse, showing off while drinking tea.
"I am not single. As long as I want to get married, I will definitely be able to get a single golden elixir."
Lu Yang nodded, this is what the first single spiritual root Taoist Shendu said in his experience of forming pills.
"Have you developed the elixir of singleness?"
Meng Jingzhou did not answer, but placed a teacup on the table: "This is a person, single!"
Then he placed another tea cup: "This is also a person, single!"
He gently touched the two teacups together, making a crisp sound of porcelain clinking, and came to a conclusion that he had been pondering for a long time: "Those two singles, when put together, don't they become a couple?"
"so?"
"So I got two single golden elixirs!"
Originally, I wanted to write in detail about the debate between Taoist Buyu and Master Xu, but in order to avoid getting too involved with reality, I decided to forget it. By the way, I recommend a book called "Unorthodox Beast Control".
Xu Ran, who traveled through the world of beast control, obtained the pet beast foster care system...
As a time traveler, you have to be a nanny for other people’s pets? I don’t want this broken system!
What? By washing and caring, you can get the other party’s skills and teach them to your own pet beasts? By feeding and sparring, you can get the opponent’s physique and skill proficiency, which can be used to add points to your own pet beasts? I’m so excited!
…some years later…
"Mr. Xu Ran, your foster care shop has become the most popular foster care shop for pet animals. Do you have any secrets?"
"The secret is attentiveness." Facing the reporter, Xu Ran said with a sincere face, "The service tenet of our store is to make guests feel at home. The pet animals feel like they are at home here."
"But there are rumors that your eyes are not serious when you are taking care of your pets..."
"Those are all rumors!"
Behind him, the pet beasts with terrifying auras nodded in agreement. Their masters had endured humiliation and sacrificed a lot for this family!
