After swaggering out of the Criminal Department and enjoying the gazes of the people on the street, Li Mu and Xiaobai returned to Duya.
However, what happened in Piaoxiang Building has spread within a small area.
"Did you hear that Wei Peng, the son of Wei Yuanwai Lang of the Ministry of Revenue, was beaten in Piaoxiang Tower just now?"
"Who is so bold about such a thing? Could it be that he is a child of another family?"
"He is the arrester of Shendu Yamen. Two days ago, the son of Zhu Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites suffered a big loss in his hands."
"Is this arrester specifically trying to get along with these people? Can the Criminal Department let him go?"
"The evil thing is still to come. After arriving at the Criminal Department, Wei Peng was beaten again, but the head catcher walked out unscathed..."
…
The common people love to hear and see this kind of thing. They are usually bullied by these people. How have they ever seen them being bullied? Just thinking about it makes them extremely happy.
A young master, followed by several followers, walked on the streets of Shendu.
Listening to the discussions of the people on the street, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said, "I have been out for a few days, and something like this happened in the capital of God?"
A follower behind him said: "Wei Yuanwai Lang has a good relationship with me. In the Ministry of Punishment, how could I let him suffer? It must be false news made by these foolish people..."
The young master nodded and said: "I think so. How could there be such an arrogant person in the city of God? He would dare to attack the children of officials just by looking at him..."
boom!
He was walking on the road and accidentally bumped into a person walking towards him.
It was obvious that the person opposite had bumped into him intentionally. Yang Xiu frowned and looked at that person.
The detective looked at him coldly: "What are you looking at?"
Before Yang Xiu could react, a fist was magnified in front of his eyes.
The two followers reacted very quickly, one blocked the catcher's fist, and the other attacked his chest.
The fastman's footwork changed and he easily dodged the follower's attack. His fist also changed direction and landed on Yang Xiu's other eye. After a burst of severe pain, a pattern appeared on his right eye.
Tuanwuqing.
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
The two followers suddenly became furious and were about to attack again. The catcher drew his sword directly, pointed at them, and said coldly: "Have you considered the consequences if you dare to attack on the streets of Shendu?"
The two men's movements stagnated. Assault is a serious crime, much more serious than fighting.
What's more, from the person's two simple movements, the aura inadvertently leaked made them feel oppressive. This person was at least in the third realm, and they were no match.
One of the attendants turned blue and said angrily: "Why do you hit people for no reason?"
Li Mudao: "Who told him to stare at me just now!"
Another person struggled to understand his logic: "You hit someone if they stare at you?"
Li Mu asked back: "Half a month ago, wasn't there someone who just blocked his way and was beaten up by you?"
"you!"
The attendant pointed at Li Mu and was speechless for a moment.
The young master dares to do this because his father is a doctor in the Ministry of Justice. Does this little catcher also have a father who is a doctor in the Ministry of Justice?
He might not be able to beat him, but he didn't dare to beat him. The follower said sternly: "As a police officer, you beat others for no reason. Come with us to the Criminal Department for trial!"
On the streets of Shendu, they did not dare to raid, but when they arrived at the Criminal Department, it was different.
The young master's father is a doctor from the Ministry of Punishment, and he can let them escape from punishment even if they don't take the lead. What's more, this time they are the one who takes the lead...
"Let's go." Li Mu inserted his sword back and walked towards the Criminal Department in a swaggering manner.
The attendant looked at Yang Xiu and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"
As soon as he returned to the capital of the gods, he was punched by someone. Yang Xiu covered his eyes and said with a dark face, "Go back to the punishment department!"
Several followers followed Li Mu, and combined with Li Mu's policeman attire, those who didn't know it thought they were the ones who had committed something.
At this time, they also realized that this person was probably the chief arrester of Shendu Yamen who had caused Wei Peng to suffer.
Being able to put Wei Peng at a disadvantage in the Ministry of Justice shows that he is quite capable.
But their young master is different from Wei Peng. Their young master is the son of a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment. Going to the Ministry of Punishment is just like going home. How can he be bullied by him in the Ministry of Punishment?
Wei Peng followed Li Mu and looked at him fiercely. Several of his followers also looked fiercely, as if they had already seen his end for a while.
Ministry of Punishment.
The doctor of the Ministry of Punishment was drinking tea in the side hall, his depression still not subsided.
As a doctor in the Criminal Department, it was a great shame and humiliation for him to be teased repeatedly by a small policeman in his territory.
Whenever he hears Li Mu's name, he gets a headache.
How could such a madman come to the capital of God?
After a while, a government official came to report, and Li Mu came again.
The doctor from the Criminal Department was stunned for a moment, put down his teacup suddenly, and said angrily: "He has only been away for a few hours, why is he here again!"
He knew that Li Mula must be confident when he came to the Criminal Department. If he went out, he would make himself angry. He waved his hand and said: "Just tell him that I am not here and let him go back to his capital!"
The yamen servant said helplessly: "But this time he beat the young master..."
"What!"
The doctor of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly stood up and ran to the front hall. He saw his son standing there with a purple eye. He could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He pointed at Li Mu and said loudly: "Surname
Li, what on earth do you want to do!"
Li Mu sighed and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Langzhong, I have a bad temper and sometimes I can't control it. I can punish you however you want. I deserve this..."
Yang Xiu covered his eyes and said loudly: "Dad, give him twenty sticks and imprison him for seven days!"
Li Mu couldn't help but take another look at him. He was indeed the son of a doctor from the Ministry of Punishment, and he was obviously familiar with the laws of Dazhou.
The doctor from the Criminal Department looked at Li Mu and said with a sullen face: "In one day, you provoked trouble twice. As a police officer, you know the law and break it. The crime will be increased to one level. I will give you twenty sticks. Isn't that excessive?"
"It's not too much." Li Mu took out two pieces of broken silver from his arms and said, "Two taels of silver, please keep it."
The doctor in the Ministry of Punishment's eyelids twitched and he said: "Today you have paid for your crime once with money."
Li Mu smiled and said: "There is no rule in the laws of Dazhou that you can only act once a day. Could it be that the doctor wants to use his power for personal gain because the person involved in the case is his own son?"
The doctor's eyelids were twitching wildly, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
He has never thought that he is a good person, but today, in front of Li Mu, he knows what the real evil forces are.
This kind of behavior that uses the law and tramples on justice repeatedly makes people want to crush him to ashes.
He stared at Li Mu and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really think that you can do whatever you want if you have money?"
"The fine has been paid, I'm going back first." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "If nothing else happens, we will meet again."
When he walked to the door, he turned back and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, you can really do whatever you want if you have money, haven't you always been like this?"
Yang Xiu pointed at Li Mu's leaving figure and asked, "Dad, did you just let him go like this?"
The doctor from the Criminal Department took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The law is like this, what can I do?"
Yang Xiu's chest heaved and he said angrily: "What bullshit law..."
Li Mu, who was about to walk out of the Criminal Department, paused slightly.
Seeing that Li Mu was about to step out of the Yamen and then pulled back, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment slapped his son on the mouth and said angrily: "Shut up, I. This law was made by the late emperor, and you can't argue with it?"
Li Mu sighed and walked out of the Criminal Department completely.
Yang Xiu covered his face, looking innocent.
Obviously he didn't do anything, but he was innocently punched on the street. When he returned to the Criminal Department, the person who hit him walked away, but he was slapped again. The grievance he felt at this moment could no longer be described in words.
The doctor's chest rose and fell, and his fists were clenched and then released for a moment.
The method of substituting silver for crimes is very convenient for him when he usually uses it. When those officials or the children of powerful nobles commit crimes, he can't really punish them. Substituting silver for crimes can avoid this trouble.
.
There are clear legal provisions, and even those who have been victimized have nothing to say.
But when these things happen to them, the feeling is completely different. This is the root of why he always feels that something is wrong.
The rules that were originally made for them were used as tools by Li Mu.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't need to tell him the rules at all.
But there is an internal guard standing behind Li Mu. Even if he doesn't want to, he can only act within the rules unless they establish new rules.
He returned to the side hall, thinking about this matter. After a while, another guard knocked on the door and came in.
The officer from the Ministry of Punishment looked at him blankly and said, "Sir, the grandson of the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple was beaten on the street, and the one who beat him was Li Mu..."
Only two-quarters of an hour passed from the time Li Mu left the Punishment Department to the time when the grandson of the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple was beaten and came to the Punishment Department to report the crime.
The doctor from the Criminal Department put his hands on his face and murmured: "Is he crazy..."
He successively beat the son of a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, the son of a foreign minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs, the son of a doctor in the Ministry of Punishments, and the grandson of the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple... Except for a madman, normal people would not be able to do such a thing.
At a certain moment, a bright light suddenly flashed in the mind of the doctor from the Criminal Department.
The doctor in the Ministry of Rites, the foreign minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple, and himself all strongly opposed the abolition of the substitution silver law.
Li Mu chose to use Yin Zhifa as a scapegoat, leaving them speechless... Could it be that his real purpose was to blame Yin Zhifa?
But he is just a small policeman. What good will it do to him if the abolition of the scapegoat law is abolished?
No, the first person to propose the abolition of the Substitution Silver Law this time was Captain Shendu, and Li Mu happened to be a subordinate of Lieutenant Shendu. Could it be that Lieutenant Shendu was instigating all this?
His purpose is to abolish the substitutionary silver law so that he can make a great contribution to His Majesty?
The doctor from the Criminal Department had a look of surprise on his face, he finally discovered the truth.
"Ah sneeze!"
In the Shendu Yamen, Zhang Chun sneezed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He looked at the cramped room and sighed: "Why haven't you given away the house that Your Majesty promised..."
