After the officials of the Zhou Dynasty upheld justice, made decisions for the people, and gained the trust of the people, the people would naturally have thoughts about them.
This is an advantage that neither Taoism nor Buddhism has, and it is also the basis for a country to be able to stabilize these sects.
The telepathy generated by those common people has been absorbed by Li Mu. Li Mu showed an embarrassed look on his face and said: "I will leave some for you next time..."
Zhang Chun glared at Li Mu and said, "I have been busy for so long, and all the benefits have been given to you?"
Li Mudao: "I didn't control it this time. I must pay attention next time. I must pay attention..."
"Do you still want a next time?" Zhang Chun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I don't want telepathy, so don't cause trouble for me again. I can handle it this time, but it won't be possible next time..."
"I try my best……"
"I don't try your best, I want you to guarantee it!"
"Okay, okay, I promise..."
Li Mu gave him a perfunctory guarantee. His guarantee to Liu Hanyan was a guarantee, but to Mr. Zhang's guarantee, Li Mu really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to guarantee it.
After all, he can guarantee not to cause trouble, but there is no guarantee that things will not cause him trouble.
As a catcher, it is his duty to voice grievances on behalf of the people, punish rape and eradicate evil, and redress justice for the people. This cannot be considered causing trouble at all...
Zhang Chun thought for a while and said: "No, you are new here and you don't understand many things yet. I still want to remind you about the people and forces in this divine city that you must not mess with..."
Li Mu thought for a while and asked: "Old party?"
Zhang Chun asked: "What do you think is the old party?"
Regarding the matter of the New Party and the Old Party, Li Mu heard about it from Capt. Zhao and said: "The dignitaries headed by the Xiao family have always wanted the Queen to remain in the Xiao family and are committed to making the Queen lose the support of the people..."
Zhang Chun shook his head and said: "The old and new parties, right and wrong, are not that simple. I can't explain it clearly to you, but you will see it later. In short, no matter who is black or white, people from these two parties are still the same.
Don’t provoke Miao, especially the disciples of the former royal clan and the Zhou family where the current queen is..."
"In addition to these two, the three provinces, six ministries and nine temples, these yamen are not something that our yamen can provoke. In addition, there is another one that we must not provoke, which is the four major academies. Today, more than half of the officials in the imperial court are
Coming from the academy and provoking the academy means becoming an enemy of the entire imperial court..."
Li Mu listened and finally understood that as the head catcher of Shendu Yamen, there were two people he could not mess with.
You can't mess with this, and you can't mess with that either.
No wonder in Du Yamen, Shen Du Ling and Shen Du Cheng are nowhere to be seen on weekdays, because if nothing happens to Du Yamen, they are useless here. If something happens to Du Yamen, they will most likely not be able to handle it.
So a god captain was left to take the blame.
From Master Zhang, Li Mu gained a clearer understanding of the situation in the Divine Capital.
The old party is just a general term. Among them, there are the Xiao clan who want to regain the imperial power, as well as senior ministers with outstanding achievements, and some young officials with radical thinking.
They all felt that it was inappropriate for a woman to be the emperor, but the methods they adopted were completely different.
Some people are conservative, and some are radical. The conservatives hope to seize power peacefully, while the radicals stir up disputes in Shendu and the thirty-six counties, trying to destroy the Queen's ruling foundation by inciting people's hearts.
As for the New Party, it is a force of officials from the DPRK and China headed by the Zhou family.
The Zhou family is the mother clan of the Queen. They used the opportunity to bring the Queen to the throne, and the Zhou family worked hard behind the scenes. After the Queen came to the throne, they became the most noble family in the Zhou Dynasty, attracting many followers.
officials, and quickly grew the power in North Korea and China.
The new party headed by the Zhou family, in addition to absolutely supporting the queen, also wants to pass the throne to the Zhou family's children after the queen abdicates. This is the most intense and irreconcilable conflict between the old party and the new party.
Although Li Mu didn't make a fuss about a woman becoming emperor, Wu Zetian was still in the Li family in the end. The current queen is just seizing power, but the Zhou family wants to steal the country.
After learning this, Li Mu actually felt some sympathy for the empress in the palace.
Although he was in power in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the power in the DPRK and China was basically divided between the old and new parties. The old party opposed her and the new party supported her, but at the bottom of it, he wanted to use her hand to steal the country from the Xiao family...
Seeing that Li Mu was distracted, Zhang Chun coughed heavily and asked, "Do you remember what I just said?"
Li Mu nodded: "I remember."
Zhang Chuntao: "Then tell me, which people and forces cannot be offended in this divine city?"
Li Mu repeated: "Three provinces, six ministries and nine temples, the four major academies, the royal family, the Zhou family... cannot be provoked."
Zhang Chun nodded, feeling temporarily relieved, but for some reason, the more Li Mu assured him, the more uneasy he felt.
After the head of the Criminal Department left, everything in Duya was calm and nothing happened.
Li Mu was confused. With the old party's determination to pursue him thousands of miles away, they would definitely not miss such an opportunity.
The Ministry of Punishment is considered a radical faction of the old party. If the assassination in Beijun is really related to the old party, Li Mu is definitely the target of the Ministry of Punishment. Just by showing off his weapon against the people of the Punishment Bureau, there are countless angles to use it.
But the Ministry of Punishment didn't say anything. He had just come to the city of God, and he originally wanted to take this matter as an opportunity to test the old party and at the same time get a feel for the Queen's attitude.
As a result, not only did the old party fail to test it, but the Queen also didn't touch it.
After Li Mu thought about it carefully, he guessed that Her Majesty the Queen was busy with so many things and it was impossible to know these little things. She might have forgotten that she had just transferred a young policeman from North County to the capital...
This is not a good thing for him who wants to hug his thighs.
He still needs to wait for the opportunity to get the Queen's attention.
Royal Palace.
A deep palace somewhere.
Behind the curtain, a majestic voice said: "Those who hold wages for the people should not let them freeze to death in the wind and snow; those who open the way for justice should not let them suffer hardships and thorns... Is this what he said?"
The young female official stood in front of the curtain and said: "He just arrived in the capital today, and within half an hour, he snatched this case from the Ministry of Punishment. Many people witnessed it with their own eyes..."
"Let's take another look. At the right time, we can attract him to join the inner guard." The majestic voice paused and asked: "How is the investigation of the assassination in Beijun?"
The young female officer lowered her head and did not speak.
The Queen asked: "Have you found it?"
The young female official said: "I found it."
A line of sight shot out from behind the curtain and swept over the face of the young female officer. After a moment, a cold and stern voice came slowly: "Tell them that I will not show mercy next time."
The young female officer bowed and said: "I obey the order."
The voice behind the curtain was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Is that clerk's name Li Mu?"
The female officer lowered her hands and said, "Yes."
The voice behind the curtain said: "Not afraid of heaven and earth, not afraid of power. I hope that he can be the one who earns wages for the people, paves the way for justice, and delivers my oral instructions..."
Shendu Yamen.
In the side hall, two people were enjoying tea.
Zhang Chun made a cup of tea and asked, "How does it taste?"
Although Li Mu didn't understand tea, he knew that Master Zhang liked to drink tea when he was the magistrate of Yangqiu County. Naturally, his tea would not be ordinary vulgar tea, so he said: "Good tea!"
This Shendu Yamen has three officers, but the only one who is permanent is the Shendu Lieutenant.
This is because the Shendu Ling and Shendu Cheng were replaced too frequently, and later they were simply replaced by other officials. These officials were usually busy with their duties and would not come here if they didn't want to. Only one Shendu Lieutenant was left in the government office to handle some matters.
Daily chores.
Shendu Lieutenant, if you ignore the word Shendu, in other counties, he is actually a small county lieutenant. He does not have to worry about other things in the county government. He pursues murderers, catches thieves, and tries and decides cases. This kind of tiring work is usually not done by others.
It's all done by the county captain.
Yangqiu County was just a small county, with no county magistrate or county captain. At that time, Magistrate Zhang had no one to share the duties. In addition to taking care of taxation, education, and economy, he also had to take care of public security.
After being transferred to Shendu, he was no longer the chief official of a county, so he had a lot of leisure time. When he had time, he took Li Mu to drink tea with him.
Li Mu drank tea and listened to his complaints.
"This god sounds good, but it's actually not as good as Yangqiu County. In Yangqiu County, whatever the official says is whatever it is. In the capital of the gods, you have to pretend to be a grandson when you meet people..."
"Not only do I have to pretend to be a grandson, but things in Shendu are also extremely expensive. A bowl of ordinary plain noodles actually costs ten cents. I originally wanted to wait for a few years to buy a house in Shendu.
After some calculation, I realized that with my official salary, after working for several years, I can only buy a hut..."
Li Mu expressed sympathy for him.
In a place like Shendu where land is at a premium, not even Liu Hanyan can afford to buy a house, let alone an official who only gets a death salary.
It is not too difficult for practitioners to obtain gold and silver, but the officials of the Zhou Dynasty were restricted by the rules of the court and could only give up the idea of making a fortune.
Before Li Mu finished his drink, Deputy Chief Sun suddenly ran in to report that it was someone from the palace.
The two of them did not dare to delay and immediately walked out of the side hall.
In the courtyard of the government office, a figure stood.
It was the charming woman who sent Li Mu to the divine capital.
The charming woman glanced at Li Mu and said, "Your Majesty is telling you, listen carefully..."
Zhang Chun and Li Mu straightened their bodies and stood in the courtyard.
Li Muzheng was wondering what decree Her Majesty the Queen would convey and whether it had anything to do with him. Then he heard the charming woman say: "The Shendu Yamen arrests Li Mu, punishes rape and eradicates evil, redresses grievances for the people, curbs the unhealthy trends of gods, and bestows
One house, eight maids..."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment. He thought Her Majesty the Queen had not noticed him. Unexpectedly, less than an hour after this happened, she even received a reward...
Zhang Chunzai was also stunned.
Even Li Mu, as the head catcher, received such a heavy reward, including a house and a maid. As the captain and the real hero of the case, wouldn't he be rewarded even more?
He held his breath and concentrated for fear of missing a word from the woman.
However, after the charming woman finished talking about Li Mu, she didn't speak again.
Zhang Chun raised his head and asked doubtfully: "Where is it down there?"
The charming woman shook her head and said, "No more."
