After getting the exact answer from Master Mei, Li Mu felt relieved.
Liu Hanyan was not around, so he had to save money and spend it. Such official expenses must be reimbursed by the Queen.
He walked to the check-in room at the front office and found Wang Wu.
Wang Wu stood up and asked: "Boss, what's the matter?"
Li Mudao: "Are you familiar with the officials and the powerful children of the city of God?"
Wang Wu nodded and said: "Of course you are familiar with it. People in our line of work can live without anything but their eyesight. You must know who you can offend and who you cannot offend. If you are offended one day, you should not be offended."
Yes, this outfit is worn to the end."
It seemed that he had indeed found the wrong person when looking for Wang Wu. Li Mu asked: "Does the member of the household department, Wai Lang, know?"
Wang Wudao: "There are two Yuanwailang in the Hubu Division. There are three Yuanwailang in the Duzhi, Jinbu and Cangbu Divisions under the Hubu Division. Their official positions are half a rank higher than our Duwei. Which one is the leader asking about?
?”
Master Mei seemed to have anticipated Li Mu's doubts, and thoughtfully put a bracket after the household official, Wai Lang, with the word "Wei" written in the bracket.
Li Mu said: "Wei Yuanwailang."
Wang Wu was obviously very familiar with the officials in the court, and immediately said: "That is Mr. Wei from the Department of Household Affairs."
Li Mu asked again: "Who is in his family?"
This time, Wang Wu thought for a while and then said: "In addition to him, Wei Yuanwailang's family also has a main wife and two concubines. He and the main wife have no children, and the second concubine gave birth to him.
He has a daughter, and the third concubine gave birth to a son for him. Mr. Wei likes that son very much and dotes on him to the sky..."
Li Mu was not surprised to know that he was an official from the Ministry of Revenue, but it was a bit unbelievable to know so many things about his family.
Li Mu looked at Wang Wu in astonishment and asked, "Why are you so familiar with these?"
Wang Wu quietly returned to the check-in room, and quickly ran out again, holding a thick book in his arms, and said: "This is what I have saved with great difficulty over the years..."
Li Mu opened the book and was stunned for a moment.
This book was obviously written by Wang Wu himself. It records in detail the major government offices in Shendu, the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and twenty-four divisions, and almost every official in the government office, as well as their family situations, and even the views of the government officials’ families.
Characters are analyzed, including the transfer of officials in major government agencies, all on it.
This is simply an official record of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Li Mu asked: "Why do you remember these things?"
Wang Wu sighed and said: "I'm afraid that I might offend someone I shouldn't offend if I don't open my eyes. There are many people in Shendu who can crush us to death with just their hands, so I asked in advance..."
Li Mu praised: "You are really a talent..."
Wang Wu touched his head and said sheepishly: "Thank you, boss."
Li Mu quickly found a breakthrough point from Wang Wu's mouth. He asked Wang Wu: "Tell me about the son of Wei Yuanwailang..."
General Wang opened a few pages of the book in his hand and said: "Wei Yuanwailang's son is called Wei Peng. Because he is the only incense in the Wei family, he has been doted on since he was a child, so his temper is quite perverse. Even some other officials' children,
I don’t want to play with him either. He likes food, and his favorite restaurant is Piaoxiang Restaurant..."
…
Piaoxiang Tower.
Several detectives were salivating at the dishes in front of them. Wang Wu finally couldn't help it and asked Li Mudao: "Boss, can we eat these dishes?"
Li Mu took a bite of the food and said, "Yes, why not? It's public expense anyway..."
Wang Wu and others used their chopsticks one after another, trying to sweep away all the dishes.
Although Piaoxiang Restaurant is not the best restaurant in Shendu, it is a place they cannot afford. One dish here costs more than their monthly salary.
Li Mu glanced at them and said, "Eat slowly, don't embarrass the Yamen."
Being used to Liu Hanyan's cooking, the food here was bland to Li Mu.
It's just that the materials are more expensive, the presentation is more elaborate, the quantity is extremely small, and the price is extremely expensive.
If it weren't for the son of a member of the household department who liked to eat here, Li Mu would never have come to a place like this.
Piaoxiang Building, in the exquisite elegant pavilion on the second floor.
Wei Peng and a few friends finished their meal, walked out of the Accord and came down the stairs.
One person walked and said: "I heard that Zhu Cong got slapped in the Ministry of Punishment. How could the Ministry of Punishment take action against Zhu Cong?"
Another person said: "I have heard that Zhu Cong and a few people were caught riding horses on the street by the Shendu Yamen. He paid a fine and after he went out, he directly gave the arrester a hundred taels, saying that he would
Ten more times..."
He shook his head and said: "Zhu Cong really thinks that his father is a doctor in the Ministry of Etiquette and he can do whatever he wants in the city of God. That's enough in normal times. This time he went too arrogant. Isn't he sitting on the head of the imperial court?
, if the Ministry of Punishment doesn’t beat him, who will he beat..."
Another person said: "When it's time to restrain yourself, you still have to restrain yourself. If you can't get along with the Shendu Yamen, you can't get along with the imperial court..."
The three of them walked downstairs, and Wei Peng saw a policeman sitting at the door eating, looking at him, and his eyes lingered on him a few more times.
The next moment, the catcher slammed his chopsticks on the table, stood up, looked at Wei Peng, and asked loudly: "What are you looking at?"
Several people were stunned for a moment, and Wei Peng even looked confused.
He just glanced at the other party, and the other party put on a provocative posture. This little catcher had a bigger temper than him...
He was in a good mood today, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he glanced at the policeman mockingly and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The policeman looked angry and said, "Try taking another look!"
This was the first time Wei Peng saw such an arrogant police officer. He crossed his arms and said, "How are you doing?"
boom!
The detective simply punched him in the face. Wei Peng staggered and was beaten backwards. A black ball appeared on his eyes.
Wei Peng was stunned, and the people behind him were stunned. The guests, shopkeeper, and waiters of Piaoxiang Tower were all stunned.
Just because he glanced at him one more time, he punched and kicked others. How could there be such an arrogant person in the capital of God?
Even those sons of officials and powerful men have a reason when they bully others. This reason for arresting the police is a bit sloppy...
However, that punch made many people present feel quite satisfied.
After all, the person he was beating was Wei Peng. Everyone was used to seeing him being arrogant and domineering, but this was the first time they saw him being bullied.
Several police officers were also stunned. Wang Wu never thought that Li Mu asked him for information about the guard Wai Lang for this reason...
The pain in his eyes made Wei Peng stunned for a short time, then he woke up and realized one thing clearly.
He was beaten.
He was beaten by a young policeman.
The reason why the other party hit him was because he looked at him too much.
He was used to using his power to suppress others, so he always brought two guards with him when traveling. But at this time, the two people had also realized and reached out to grab Li Mu.
These two people actually have the ability to condense souls.
Li Mu didn't make any move, just glanced at them.
The hands that the two people stretched out stopped in mid-air, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. They did not attack again, but retreated to Wei Peng's side.
The other two people looked at Li Mu in surprise. Li Mu looked at them and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Thinking of Wei Peng's fate, the two people immediately looked away, shook their heads and said: "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything..."
Wei Peng covered one eye, looked at the two people with the other, and said angrily: "Why are you still standing here!"
One of the guards said: "Sir, he is in the third realm, we are no match."
Li Mu glanced at a few people for the last time, and walked away amid the angry eyes of Wei Peng and the shocked eyes of everyone around him.
The three young people behind Wei Peng looked confused and didn't know what to do.
After all, they were the ones who took the initiative in the past, and they were the ones who walked away.
If you are bullied by others at this moment, you can't even beat me. If you scold me, I'm afraid you will have to get beaten again.
That man was unreasonable to the extreme. Even if he looked at him for a second, he would be punched or cursed. I'm afraid it wouldn't be a matter of one or two punches.
One person looked at Wei Peng and asked, "What should we do next?"
Wei Peng said with a gloomy face: "Go to the Criminal Department!"
Li Mu left the restaurant and walked leisurely to the government office.
Wang Wu followed him, opened his mouth and asked: "Boss, what are you doing?"
Li Mu didn't bother to explain to him and said, "You will know in a moment."
Wang Wu said anxiously: "What's more, people from the Ministry of Punishment will be here soon, but this time we are not being reasonable..."
Wang Wu's prediction was correct. The people from the Criminal Department arrived very quickly, even faster than Li Mu arrived at the Yamen.
When he returned to the Yamen, people from the Criminal Department were already waiting outside.
Li Mu had already met several officers from the Ministry of Justice twice. The leader looked at him with a sneer and said, "Captain Li, I'm afraid we have to trouble you to come with us."
Li Mu did not resist and said: "Let's go..."
Xiaobai ran out of the yamen and asked in a low voice: "My benefactor, what's wrong?"
Li Mu said: "It's okay. You stay in the Yamen first. I'll be back in a while."
There was a mocking look on the face of the officer from the Criminal Department. Last time, he was the one who was right. Under the threat of the internal guards, the doctor did not dare to make arbitrary sentences. This time, he was the one who beat others first. The reason lies with the punishment department. The doctor only needs to
To handle the case fairly, he has to go in standing up and come out lying down.
Li Mu originally wanted Xiaobai to stay at the Yamen, but she insisted on following her, so Li Mu went with her.
This was Li Mu's second visit to the court of the Ministry of Justice. The doctor of the Ministry of Justice was sitting on it. Wei Peng and several of his friends stood aside and looked at Li Mu coldly.
The doctor of the Ministry of Punishment knocked on the gavel tree and asked: "Li Mu, Wei Peng said that you beat him without reason. Is this true?"
Li Mu explained: "Who asked him to look at me?"
The doctor from the Criminal Department said solemnly: "He just looked at you and you want to beat him?"
Li Mu looked at Wei Peng and asked, "Have they done less of this kind of thing before?"
The doctor of the Ministry of Punishment knocked on the gavel tree again and said, "I don't care about the past. I only want to ask you now. Did you beat Wei Peng for no reason at Chunxiang Tower just now?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes."
"Since you plead guilty, there is nothing to be tried." The doctor of the Ministry of Punishment sneered and said: "Come here, drag him down, beat him twenty times, and then put him in the jail of the Ministry of Punishment and lock him up for seven days!"
He looked at Li Mu with a happy expression on his face.
Last time there were internal guards, and it was Zhu Cong who made the mistake first. He had no choice but to let him walk out of the Yamen in a big way.
But this time it's different.
This time it was Li Mu who beat Wei Peng first, but from beginning to end, Wei Peng didn't do anything. This case couldn't be simpler.
Even if the King of Heaven comes today, he is still guilty!
When two officers from the Criminal Department came up, Li Mu suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Wait a minute!"
The doctor from the Ministry of Justice said, "What else do you have to say?"
Li Mu raised his head and said: "According to the "Dazhou Code", Volume 2, Article 13, an innocent person who beats another person, depending on the severity of the injury, may be sentenced to not more than twenty canes and not more than seven days in prison. Wei
Peng's eyes are black and blue, and they are only slightly injured. The doctor sentenced me to twenty rods and seven days in prison. This is an abuse of punishment. According to "Dazhou Law", Volume 25, Article 47, any official who abuses punishment
, it can range from a one-month fine to a severe penalty of dismissal and investigation. Mr. Langzhong, please think carefully before you impose the sentence..."
When the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment looked at Li Mu, who was talking to him about "Da Zhou Law" with a calm expression, he felt as if there was a breath stuck in his chest. He couldn't swallow it, but he couldn't spit it out either...
