Chapter 20 Gossip

The level of legal illiteracy among the officials' children like Wei Peng is appalling.

According to Dazhou law, although threatening, insulting, and slandering others are not serious crimes, if they cause a certain degree of adverse impact on the person concerned, they will still be fined and detained.

Officials and police officers are all public servants of the state. Threatening public servants of the state will be punished with an additional penalty.

After Li Mu kindly spread the knowledge of this law to Wei Peng, Wei Peng was still in disbelief. He looked at Yang Xiu and asked, "Is everything he said true?"

Yang Xiu nodded helplessly and said, "It's true."

Wei Peng's face turned pale, he forced out a smile and said, "I was just joking..."

Li Mu's face sank and he said, "Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Wei Peng didn't hesitate, turned around and ran away.

He was about to leave, but Yang Xiu held his arm tightly. Wei Peng turned around and said angrily: "What are you doing!"

Yang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "You idiot, threatening the official with detention for up to five days, resisting arrest and running away, but it won't be a matter of five days!"

Li Muduo glanced at him. He was indeed the son of a doctor from the Ministry of Justice. He had a much stronger sense of law than Wei Peng and his ilk.

Wei Peng stood there blankly, with a look of deep regret on his face.

Li Mu glanced at him lightly and said, "Why are you still hanging around? Let's go..."

He held Wei Peng's arm behind his back and walked towards Shendu Yamen.

Yang Xiu looked at Zhu Cong and said: "Isn't Mr. Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Rites and a foreign minister, also the chief minister of the gods? Go and invite him. Maybe Wei Peng won't have to go to jail."

Zhu Cong shook his head and said: "It's useless. His Majesty just issued a decree to promote Shendu Lieutenant to Shendu Cheng. Mr. Zheng will no longer serve as Shendu Cheng..."

Yang Xiu sighed and said, "Then there's really nothing we can do..."

After a while, Shendu Yamen entered the prison.

Wei Peng was sitting in the cell, his face extremely pale, and he didn't know whether he was scared or angry.

Yang Xiu looked at Wei Peng in the cell and said: "There is no other way. You are causing trouble first. My father can't save you. I can only force you to live here for a few days. If you need anything, I will buy it for you."

Come."

Wei Peng gritted his teeth and said: "I want a copy of "Dazhou Law"!"

When Li Mu and Wang Wu walked on the street again, there were already more people on the street.

He has only been in Shendu for a month, but the feeling of standing on the streets of Shendu at this moment is completely different from before.

When I first came to Shendu, the people I met on this street encountered old people who had fallen down and refused to help them, and they did not help when they encountered injustice. Their eyes were indifferent, their expressions were numb, and they were very wary of each other.

Now, Li Mu could no longer see much indifference and numbness on their faces.

The abolition of the Substitute Silver Law has clearly put the officials and dignitaries of Shendu in the same position as ordinary people. This is the first time in more than ten years, which has united the people of Shendu like never before.

This is naturally beneficial to maintaining the stability of the country, and it is also beneficial to Li Mu himself.

Although he is not yet well-known to everyone in the city of God, there are still many people who can recognize him when walking on the street. As Li Mu walks along, there is a steady stream of telepathy in his body.

If he does a few more good deeds that please the people, I'm afraid Bai Xin's trust in him will gradually turn into love, and his seven emotions will finally be perfected.

The noodle stall owner poked his head out of the shop and said to Li Mu: "Captain Li, do you want to sit down and have a bowl of noodles?"

It was just time to eat. The food at this noodle stall was very good. The policemen from the Yamen often visited it. Li Mu simply sat down at the street stall and said, "Here are two bowls of noodles."

The shopkeeper quickly brought out two bowls of steaming noodles from the shop and said: "I knew there must be a reason why Capt. Li beat up those officials' sons. Now that the surrogate silver law has finally been abolished, it's great."

Ah, the previous laws did not treat us common people as human beings at all. Your coming to the city of God is really a blessing to the people of the city of God. Everyone is very grateful to you..."

Li Mu put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "The person you should really be grateful to is Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty, it would be impossible to abolish the Substitution Silver Law."

Li Mu knew very well why the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment could tolerate him jumping around repeatedly in front of them.

It was because he had an inner guard behind him, and the inner guard's protection of Li Mu was authorized by the current queen.

So far, he has never even seen the Queen, and he doesn't know when he will be able to truly hold her in her lap.

Compared to the emperor, the 28-year-old seventh-level powerhouse was more tempting to Li Mu.

The emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty had shortcuts to practice that were different from any other practitioners. The imperial aura bred in the royal ancestral temple could create a strong person in the upper three realms for the royal family.

It was precisely because of the recognition of the ancestral temple that the queen gained this trace of imperial aura, successfully promoted to the seventh realm, and also had the qualifications to become an emperor.

Li Mu, who was eating noodles at the noodle stall, did not see three figures standing behind him.

Not only him, but also the pedestrians coming and going on the street, no one could see them.

Seeing that there was no one around, the noodle stall owner also said: "Three years ago, when Her Majesty the Queen just ascended the throne, there were still a lot of criticisms in the city, but everyone has to admit that in the past three years, everyone's life has been better than before.

Much better. Speaking of which, I also met Her Majesty the Queen once..."

Li Mu said in surprise: "Have you met His Majesty?"

The noodle stall owner nodded and said: "I've seen it before, but at that time, His Majesty was not His Majesty, nor was he the Crown Princess. She had eaten noodles with me. At that time, I never imagined that she would become

Her Majesty the Queen..."

Wang Wu finished the soup, put down the bowl, and said disdainfully: "Stop bragging, when Your Majesty is not the Crown Princess, she is also the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family. Will she come to your place to eat noodles?"

The noodle stall owner glanced at him and said, "Believe it or not..."

After that, he went inside to get busy.

Wang Wu wiped his mouth and said: "This old guy tells lies without blinking an eye. Your Majesty is of noble birth, how could you come to a place like this like us..."

Li Mu actually didn't know much about the thigh he was determined to hug. His knowledge of the Queen was limited to hearsay.

Wang Wu grew up in the capital of the gods and often collected information about the powerful and powerful families. He may know more than Li Mu.

He looked at Wang Wu and asked, "How much do you know about His Majesty's affairs?"

When talking about this kind of thing, Wang Wu started to talk non-stop, "That's a lot. Your Majesty is the youngest daughter of Zhou Taifu. She has an appearance that is stunning to the country. She has a high talent for cultivation since she was a child. When she was twenty years old, she

We have entered the fifth realm..."

"She has a beauty that captivates the country..." Li Mu said suspiciously: "It's not that she was not liked by the prince after she married her. If she is so beautiful, how could the prince not like her..."

In Li Mu's subconscious mind, Her Majesty the Queen, although her cultivation level is high, she should not look very good.

Otherwise, how could she still be a virgin until she became the queen? If it wasn't because she was too ugly, the rumors were wrong.

Wang Wu looked around and lowered his voice and said, "I don't know, this guy doesn't know. The prince likes men. This is no secret in the city of God..."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "So, the rumor that His Majesty is still a virgin is true?"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, the hairs on his body stood up, and his whole body shivered.
