"Master Captor, would you like to come to the shop for a break and have a cup of tea?"
…
As Li Mu walked, people along the street greeted him warmly, and even a pear vendor thrust two pears into his hand without any explanation.
Li Mu gave one to Xiaobai. Xiaobai took a bite and couldn't wait to put the pear in his hand to Li Mu's mouth and said, "This pear is so sweet, my benefactor, try it!"
Li Mu took a bite of the pear, and it was as sweet and juicy as Xiaobai said. At the same time, he also felt that the people on the street still had weak telepathy.
It wasn't until we were far away from the Yamenkou street that the power of thought disappeared.
This is because the people here do not know Li Mu and have not seen what happened on the street that day.
But it doesn't matter. In order to practice cultivation, Li Mu will sooner or later make his name known to all the people in the world. At that time, no matter where he goes, he will be able to absorb the telekinesis power of any place.
He and Xiaobai walked to another street. After walking a few steps, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves behind them.
drive!
Several fast horses galloped past the street, and the people on the street dodged. A little girl couldn't dodge and tripped to the ground. Seeing that the leading horse was about to charge over, Li Mu's figure flashed and appeared in that little girl.
In front of the girl.
He raised his head and took a cold look. The horse was suddenly frightened and raised its front hooves high, almost knocking the man off the horse.
"Looking for death, dare to block my way!"
The young man on the horse had an angry look on his face, raised his hand, and whipped Li Mu hard with the whip in his hand.
call out!
The riding crop slashed through the air, making a sound of breaking wind, and whipped towards Li Mu's head.
Xiaobai snorted softly, reached out and grabbed the whip, and with a gentle tug, the young man on the horse was pulled off by her and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the people on the street were stunned. Although the imperial court prohibited riding horses on the streets, and violators would be punished with sticks and fined silver, these officials and the children of powerful people never took this prohibition seriously.
They often rode horses and ran rampant in the streets, injuring people. It was not uncommon.
These people have a strong background. They run horses on the street, and the government does not dare to care about them, nor will they care about them. Even if they hurt someone, they can easily settle it with money. This is when they are in a good mood.
If you are in a bad mood, after hitting someone, you can curse a few words and walk away, leaving the person who was hit with nowhere to complain.
These people are used to being arrogant, and the people of Shendu have long been used to it. If they encounter them, they will stay far away to avoid touching their brows. I have never seen anyone dare to pull them off their horses.
The young man fell off his horse. Although he was not injured, he was badly injured. The people behind him tightened their reins and stopped beside him.
"what happened?"
"Who's in the way?"
"Are you OK……"
Several people jumped off their horses and started talking all over the place. The young man got up from the ground and said with a sullen face: "It's okay!"
After saying that, he looked at Li Mu and Xiaobai with fierce eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Who are you, dare to block our way!"
"The Shendu Yamen arrested the head." Li Mu walked up to Xiao Bai, looked at the people, and asked coldly: "Who allowed you to ride horses on the streets of Shendu?"
At first, the young man was worried about someone he couldn't afford to offend. When he saw that the other person was just a small catcher, he was relieved and at the same time, his anger emerged uncontrollably.
On the streets of Shendu, he was dragged off his horse by an unknown official?
I'm afraid that after today, this matter will become a joke among other people in the industry.
He looked at Li Mu and asked coldly: "How are you doing?"
Li Mu pointed to a few people riding horses on the street and said, "You guys, come to my Yamen."
The young master glanced at him and said calmly: "Let's go."
Although he didn't take a little catcher seriously at all, openly opposing the government officials was a provocation to the court, and he was not stupid enough.
When he gets to the Yamen, this person will know how ridiculous he is for being a little head catcher.
After this experience, he will understand that some people cannot be stopped by him.
If he has a next time.
After hearing the young master's words, several people dismounted one after another and did not resist. They just looked at Li Mu with mocking eyes and followed the young master directly towards Duya.
Li Mu knew that the officials' sons in Shendu were arrogant, but he never expected that they would be so arrogant.
He didn't say anything about riding a horse in the street, but after being caught by Li Mu, he actually walked in front of him and went to the Yamen in a swagger, obviously knowing that the Yamen didn't dare to do anything to him.
The people on the street looked at this scene with the same astonishment. They had lived in the city of God for many years and had seen factional fights, the Queen's ascension to the throne, the rise of poor families, and the collapse of wealthy families, but they had never seen a small government office.
Capture the head, dare to drag these officials' sons off their horses.
Although they were very happy to see this scene, everyone knew in their hearts that the head catcher of Duya was finished.
Finally, a commoner couldn't bear it and approached Li Mu and said, "Sir, you'd better not worry about these things. Zongma is the son of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, the subordinate of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites, and also serves as the Shendu Cheng...
…”
Li Mu hugged the people and said, "Thank you for reminding me."
No wonder this person is so arrogant. The doctor of the Ministry of Rites, from the fifth rank official position, is three levels higher than the captain of the Shendu.
The official position of the Great Zhou Dynasty is said to be the ninth rank, but in fact, the first and second ranks are just titles in name only. The third rank is the pinnacle that an official can reach. The fifth rank, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, is not low in rank and is the third-in-command of the Ministry of Rites.
However, although Li Mu has no rank, he is not afraid at all.
Lord Mei has told him very clearly that as long as he walks and sits upright, the Queen will always support him. With these words, Li Mu has nothing to fear in this divine capital.
Riding horses on the street endangers the safety of the people. According to the laws of Dazhou, he must be punished with a rod of more than 20 times and imprisoned for seven days. Li Mu just acted according to the law.
A group of people walked through the street in a mighty manner, and soon attracted the attention of the people.
"What's wrong today? These people are not riding horses?"
"Where are they going?"
"Why is Capt. Li behind? Are they going to the government office?"
"Isn't that Zhu Cong? His father is a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. It was Mr. Li who provoked the Ministry of Punishment. Why did he get into trouble with the Ministry of Rites again?"
"It's over. The minister of etiquette, Wailang, is also the chief minister of Shendu. He is a subordinate of Zhu Cong's father. Capt. Li shouldn't provoke him..."
"Who wouldn't dare to provoke Capt. Li? He dares to scold even the sky. Have you heard of "The Injustice of Dou E"? It was written by him. In it, he scolds heaven and earth, and the court..."
"But this time it's different!"
…
Shendu Yamen.
In the back office, Zhang Chun made tea for himself again, leaned on the chair, hummed a little tune, and took a leisurely sip.
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that Li Mu was right.
Although the five-in and five-out house is grand, it is too big and cleaning it is a big problem.
If His Majesty rewards him with a house with five entrances and five exits, wouldn't he have to recruit some maids and servants to be worthy of the status of a five-in-one house?
When you hire maids and servants, you have to pay them wages, which is another huge expense.
In addition to the cost of purchasing furniture and renovating and repairing the old house, it was almost impossible to compensate for his salary for a year. In this way, it is actually a good thing that His Majesty did not reward him.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt much more comfortable.
Although Duya is small, it feels safe to live there.
Although he is often caught between various yamen and is in a dilemma, as long as his subordinates don't cause trouble for him, not many people pay attention here, so he is quite relaxed.
After drinking half of the cup of tea, he raised his eyebrows and felt keenly that there was some strange movement in the front office.
He walked to the room and walked to the front door of the front office. He saw several people with gorgeous clothes and arrogant faces standing in the yard. Judging from their clothes and demeanor, they were either children of officials or powerful people.
Seeing Li Mu looking around in the front hall and side hall, seemingly looking for someone, Zhang Chun's expression suddenly changed.
His figure flashed back to the back office in an instant.
Wang Wu trotted in from the front. When he saw him, his eyes lit up and he said, "Sir, you are here. Mr. Li is looking for you everywhere!"
"Shh!" Zhang Chun made a silent gesture to him and said, "Go out and tell Li Mu that I am not here!"
After a while, Wang Wu walked to the front office, looked at these officials' children, and then looked at Li Mu, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Li Mu came over and asked, "Have you found Mr. Zhang?"
"No." Wang Wu shook his head and said, "My lord asked me to tell you that he is not here."
