At the tailor shop, a young clerk put the bedding that Li Mu had chosen into a special cloth bag and said, "The total is one to two or six dollars."
Wang Wudao: "We are all old acquaintances, it's cheaper..."
The fat innkeeper smiled and said: "These are all new cotton this year, and the satin selected by this guest officer is also of good quality. For the sake of the poor man, I will give you one, two and five cents, how about it?"
"
There will be many places where Wang Wu will be needed in the future. Li Mu threw a piece of silver to him and said, "You can keep the rest and let it go to the office to buy some wine for the brothers."
Wang Wu took the silver and weighed it, at least twenty taels. The remaining money was equivalent to his two months' salary. He felt happy and said, "Thank you, boss..."
Seeing Wang Wu continue to bargain with the shopkeeper, Li Mu walked to the door of the tailor shop and looked at the bustling crowd on the street.
The salary of the detectives in Shendu is much higher than that of Yangqiu County and the county, but the consumption in Shendu is higher. With their meager salary, their life must be very tight.
Practitioners in the yamen also receive additional subsidies from the court. Ordinary people like Wang Wu can only live on their salaries.
Regardless of whether it is a county government or a government government, although there are many practitioners, the most common ones are ordinary policemen.
Soon, Wang Wu came out with a bag containing bedding. Li Mu was about to buy some other things when he suddenly heard the woman's panicked voice.
"You, you are dirty!"
Li Mu turned around and saw a woman protecting her chest with both hands, looking at an old man with shame and anger.
The old man stretched out his hand, put it on his face and smelled it. There was a trace of lust on his wrinkled face, and asked: "You accidentally bumped into me, and instead you slandered me as a dirty person. Do you still have the law in the city of Gods?"
The woman looked at the old man's arrogant look, felt fear in her heart, and was about to leave.
At this time, the old man stretched out his hand, blocked her way, and said, "You bumped into me and you just want to leave like this?"
A look of fear appeared on the woman's face, and she said in a trembling voice: "You, what do you want to do?"
The old man covered his chest and said: "You hurt me, either pay for it or come with me to the Yamen..."
The woman said anxiously: "It's obvious that you were scornful of me just now. Everyone is judging, it's not me who hit him!"
On the street, a few people who stopped to watch looked away.
"Did you see it?" The old man looked at her mockingly and said, "I still want to slander you. I have lived for fifty-two years and have never seen anything. How can I be scornful of you..."
"I saw it. You were frivolous about this girl. You deliberately touched her chest with your hand."
Among the crowd, a simple and honest man stood up, pointed at the old man and said.
The old man's face darkened and he said: "Who do you think you are, how dare you talk nonsense here..."
He ignored the man, grabbed the woman's arm, and said, "Come on, follow me to see the official!"
The man stepped forward to stop him and took the old man's hand away from the woman's arm. Perhaps he used too much force. The old man sat down on the ground and hit his head on the street steps, and he suddenly started bleeding profusely.
The old man rushed over, hugged the man's legs, and shouted loudly: "Hitting someone, beating someone!"
The man looked anxious, but he didn't dare to do anything to the old man. Soon, two figures walked in from the crowd and asked loudly: "What happened?"
Wang Wu stood behind Li Mu and said, "He is from the Ministry of Punishment."
There are many yamen in Shendu. The Shendu Yamen, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Yushitai all have the authority to handle cases. Among them, the Shendu Yamen is the one with the least sense of existence.
The old man saw the two officers from the Criminal Department and said angrily: "Why are you here? I was beaten by this fool, so hurry up and take him back to the Criminal Department for disposal. There is also this woman who injured me and slandered me.
And take away..."
A police officer from the Ministry of Justice looked at the old man and whispered to another person: "He is the third uncle of Chief Liu, what should I do..."
Another officer looked at the man, put an iron chain around his neck, and said: "You bully the old and the weak in the street. You don't have any respect for the law. Come back to the Yamen with us!"
The woman cried: "It's not like this, it's not like this!"
The officer gave her a cold look and said, "Take them away together!"
Li Mu noticed that when the two people from the Criminal Department first appeared, some of the people who were watching had a light in their eyes, but at this moment, the light in their eyes quickly dimmed.
The crowd lowered their heads and began to whisper.
"You shouldn't be nosy!"
"If you are caught in the Criminal Department Yamen, you will be beaten with at least twenty sticks..."
"Didn't you hear what that person just said? This old man is a relative of the head of the Criminal Department. This guy is finished..."
"Never force yourself to stand out in the future..."
…
Two officers from the Criminal Department were about to take the woman and the man away when a voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Wait a minute."
One person turned around and saw a young man walking out of the tailor shop, looking at them with a dull look.
The young man was holding a sword in one hand and holding a fox in the other. He was probably a practitioner, but in the capital of the gods, the most common people are practitioners. Two officials from the Ministry of Justice looked at Li Mu coldly, and one of them asked: "You
Who dares to stop the Ministry of Punishment from carrying out errands?"
Xiaobai jumped onto Li Mu's shoulder. Li Mu took out a waist badge from his arms and said, "Shendou Yamen is arresting the head. Li Mu, I, Shendu Yamen, have taken over this case."
"Shendu Yamen?"
A police officer from the Ministry of Justice was stunned for a moment when he heard what Li Mu said, and then he couldn't help laughing, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that there is a Shendu Yamen in Shendu..."
The word "Shengdu Ya" sounds domineering, but in fact it just takes the spotlight from the word "Shendu".
The county magistrate of any of the nineteen counties in Zhongjun is more comfortable as an official than Shendu Ling.
Although the area of Shendu is several times larger than that of an ordinary county, it is far smaller than the entire jurisdiction of a county.
In addition, Shendu is still the location of the imperial city. There are three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and various government offices. None of the yamen are as important as Shendu Yamen. It would be fine if the officials of Shendu Yamen shrink their heads. But if they don’t open their eyes, what?
I want to take care of everything. It is not unheard of for me to even change the orders of five gods within one month.
The officer looked at Li Mu and asked, "Shendou Yamen is arresting the head. It seems that one has just died and two have been left disabled. Are you new here?"
Wang Wu stepped forward and winked at Li Mu, then looked at the two of them and said with a smile on his face: "Two eldest brothers, Capt. Li is new here and doesn't understand the rules of the capital. You can take me away."
,take away……"
The man glanced at Wang Wu and said: "Since he doesn't understand the rules, teach him well, otherwise, he will die without knowing how he will die in the future..."
He waved his hand and said, "Take it away!"
Clang!
Li Mu raised his hand, Bai Yi drew out the scabbard and placed it across the officer's neck.
Li Mu looked at the woman, the strong man, and the old man whose face was covered in blood, and said, "You can leave, but I will stay."
The old man stared at this scene with wide eyes and disbelief.
The woman and the strong man were also stunned on the spot.
The people who were watching were even more astonished. The chief arrester from the Shendu Yamen was facing off against the people from the Ministry of Punishment. When had they ever seen such a scene?
The officer from the Ministry of Punishment had already felt the coolness coming from Bai Yi's body, and his face became more gloomy, and he asked: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Li Mudao: "This case was first seen by the police chief, and the Criminal Department must have someone who comes first and handles it first."
"Okay!" The officer from the Ministry of Justice gritted his teeth, took off the iron chain from the man's body, and said coldly: "I hope you can be so tough in a while!"
The two of them gave Li Mu a fierce look and strode away.
Wang Wu glanced at Li Mu and said in horror: "Captain Li, on your first day here, you have already offended people from the Criminal Department. The most radical people in the old party, but in the Criminal Department..."
Li Mu shrugged indifferently. People in the old party had already sent assassins to assassinate him. No matter what, he could not live in peace with them.
In this case, what does it matter if I offend you again?
What's more, a small head of the Criminal Department may not be able to represent a party.
As the chief catcher of the Shendu Yamen, if he can't even handle this small matter fairly, then this Shendu is probably rotten from the root. He alone can't change anything, let alone absorb the people.
If you practice mindfulness, even gods will not wait for you.
It would be better to go back to Beijun, become a disciple of Fu Lu Sect, and stay and fly together with Liu Hanyan.
At that time, the old party and the new party will have nothing to do with him. The dynasty will be destroyed, and the Fu Lu Sect will still be able to stand in Baiyun Mountain. Even if the world changes in this week, the new imperial court will not be able to touch the three-acre land in Baiyun Mountain.
When he first came to Shendu, he could only get limited information from other people's mouths. Li Mu needed to go through one or several things to see some of the truth about Shendu.
Outside the crowd, several police officers, led by Deputy Chief Sun, looked at this scene in astonishment.
They never expected that this new head catcher, who looked extremely gentle, would act so fiercely.
Li Mu glanced at them and said, "Why are you still standing there? Bring them all to the Yamen!"
Several detectives looked at each other but made no move.
Deputy Catcher Sun looked at Li Mu with a rather complicated look. After a moment, a trace of shame appeared in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What are you doing standing here? Didn't you hear what Catcher Li said? Take these three people to the Yamen
!”
Then several people ran forward, and the old man wiped the blood on his face and said, "Just wait!"
Li Mu walked up to the woman and the strong man and said, "Let's go. When we get to the Yamen, I will give you justice."
When everyone walked towards the Shendu Yamen, some of the people watching on the street slowly followed them after thinking for a moment.
Wang Wu looked sad and murmured: "It's over, it's over, I'm afraid such an expensive quilt won't last a few days..."
He looked up at Li Mu and was about to speak when Li Mu looked at him and said, "This matter has nothing to do with party disputes. You just need to remember what you should do as a government agent..."
"We should make decisions for the people and uphold justice and fairness..." Wang Wu lowered his head and said: "But we are just small people. Those people above can crush us to death with just a few clicks of their fingers..."
In the Shendu Yamen, Zhang Chun, the magistrate of Yuanyangqiu who had just been promoted to captain, was drinking tea in the side hall.
In this divine city, in a place where he is unfamiliar with life, it is definitely a happy event to meet his former subordinates, which at least gives him some psychological comfort.
He had just picked up the teacup when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Zhang Chun put down his tea cup and walked outside. He saw Li Mu and several police officers walking into the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, there were countless people looking around.
Zhang Chun was stunned for a moment and asked: "What's going on?"
Li Mu told him what happened just now.
Zhang Chun looked at him with wide eyes and asked in a voice: "You have only been here for more than half an hour, and you have offended the Ministry of Punishment for me. Didn't you promise me that you will never cause trouble?"
"I don't care about this matter..." Li Mu pointed at the people looking outside the government office and said, "In front of so many people, do you think I can just watch it?"
Zhang Chun was silent for a while, then let out a long sigh and said: "You are right, this case must not be ignored. God City needs such people so much. Good people must not be rewarded. This will not only wrong good people, but also
It will also chill the hearts of the people..."
Li Mu looked at him and said: "Those who work for the people should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow; those who pave the way for justice should not be trapped in thorns... Your Excellency will not ignore this matter, right?"
