The officials of the Ministry of Punishment stood at the door of the duty room, eavesdropping on what was going on in the courtroom.
Since Li Mu came to the capital of God, they have seen too many firsts in the Ministry of Punishment.
The arrest of the head of the Shendu Yamen, in the territory of the Punishment Department, left the doctor of the Punishment Department speechless for the first time.
This was also the first time that someone scolded the imperial court official in the court of the Ministry of Punishment, saying that important people in the Zhou family were nothing.
Li Mu seemed to have a natural aura, an aura that was fearless in heaven and earth.
In the courtroom, Li Mu spitted and almost flew into Zhou Ting's face.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Seeing Zhou Ting's face, Li Mu is not so surprised by Zhou Chu's behavior.
He didn't care about his position in the first place, nor was he afraid of the Zhou family. He deliberately cooperated with Mr. Zhang to make the matter bigger, just to find out the Queen's attitude thoroughly.
While Zhou Ting was furious, two figures walked in from outside.
Seeing this, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came over and said: "Master Shangshu, Master Minister, you are finally back. This case is too complicated. I really don't know how to judge..."
The Minister of Punishment said to Zhou Ting: "Master Zhou has lost his beloved son. I deeply regret it. The Ministry of Punishment will immediately investigate the case thoroughly and hand it over to Your Majesty for a decision tomorrow morning. Does Master Zhou have any objections?"
Zhou Ting knew that he could not influence the Punishment Department, but His Majesty could say a few words and said calmly: "I hope the Punishment Department can investigate the case impartially."
The Minister of Punishment said: "This is natural."
He looked at Zhang Chun and Li Mu again and said: "This case involves a lot. You two can go back to the Yamen first and wait outside the palace gate tomorrow. I'm afraid His Majesty will summon you at any time."
Zhou Chu's death was not directly related to Li Mu, and the Ministry of Punishment could not detain him. He and Zhang Chun walked out of the Ministry of Punishment and were surrounded by people.
"Captain Li, how's it going?"
"How did the Ministry of Punishment decide the sentence?"
"Zhou Chu's death was his own fault. The Punishment Department didn't blame you, right?"
Faced with the concerns of the people, Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "Tomorrow the Ministry of Punishment will submit the case to Your Majesty for your decision. I believe that Your Majesty will give me justice."
"We all stand with Capt. Li!"
"I suggest that everyone write a letter to the people to plead for Li Captou's life."
"I agree. The silk used for signing Wanmin's book came from our Jinxiu Workshop..."
At this moment, Li Mu felt from the people around him, in addition to telepathy, there were also different emotions than before.
This emotion is colorless, it is the last emotion he lacks among his seven emotions.
The feeling of love comes from the love of the people.
The scene of shouting and cursing in the sky and thundering around finally made the people of Shendu completely trust and accept him. Li Mu walked from the Ministry of Justice to the government office. In this short distance, he absorbed the ""
The feeling of "love" was enough for him to condense his fifth soul, which is not poisonous.
In Duya's small house, Xiaobai was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing, not knowing what had happened.
Li Mu walked into the room, got on the bed, sat cross-legged opposite her, formed a seal with his hands, and said silently: "Nine times of prime energy, to control evil spirits, heavenly beasts guard the door, charming girls hold the gate, seven souls are gentle, and I
Stay at peace with each other, don’t act rashly, observe the source of the form..., it’s not poisonous, it’s solid!”
His current magic power is no longer comparable to that of the time. It is extremely simple to gather the spirit and the Taoism to condense the soul.
After the love was completely refined by Li Mu, Li Mu clearly noticed that some changes had taken place in his body, and his magic power had also increased slightly.
But compared with the increase in mana, what impressed him most deeply was the feeling of perfection coming from inside his body.
After the soul of love condensed, Li Mu keenly noticed that there was actually a trace of love around him.
He opened his eyes and saw Xiaobai sitting opposite him, dragging his chin with his hands and looking at him dreamily.
Her eyes were so pure, her little face was so delicate, and the way she looked at Li Mu attentively made his heart tremble slightly.
From the second time she met Li Mu, her idea of committing herself to him has never changed.
It was just that after meeting Liu Hanyan, she was worried that Liu Hanyan would be dissatisfied, so she hid her thoughts.
Li Mu always thought that as a member of the Sky Fox clan, she stayed with him just to repay her kindness, but she never expected that she would have the same feelings for Li Mu as Liu Hanyan.
When Xiaobai saw Li Mu open his eyes, the corners of his mouth immediately turned up, and he said sweetly: "My benefactor is awake..."
Li Mu touched her head and said: "Go home..."
Ministry of Punishment.
Zhang Chun and Li Mu returned to Duya first, but Zhou Ting did not leave.
He persuaded the family to make a deal with the Minister of Punishment based on his position as Nanyang County Lieutenant, followed his arrangement, gave the old man's family a large sum of money, and asked them to issue a letter of understanding, and through the operation of the Punishment Department, the Shendu Yamen
The verdict was reversed and Zhou's sentence was changed from death to imprisonment.
However, all this was in vain, and his son died after all.
When only Zhou Ting and the Minister of Punishment were left in the court, the Minister of Punishment glanced at him and said: "I am very sorry for the death of Young Master Ling, but what I promised you has been fulfilled. Our deal has been completed.
What happens next has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Ting experienced the pain of losing his son, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said: "That matter is in the past, there is no need to mention it again, I just want that Li Mu to die!"
Regardless of whether Zhou Chu's death was caused by Li Mu or someone was trying to hide it from heaven by inflicting divine punishment, Zhou Ting could not bear the thought of Li Mu continuing to live in the world.
Being pointed at and scolded in the Criminal Court, his face, and the Zhou family's face, have all been lost.
The Minister of Punishment said: "I'm afraid it's not that easy to let Li Mu die. He is affecting the people of Shendu now, and Young Master Ling's actions have indeed caused anger and resentment. Your Majesty will not let him die, and neither will your Zhou family."
Let him die, unless Zhou Chu is killed by him, but obviously, he does not have the ability to kill Zhou Chu. If you want to avenge your son, you have to stab Tian Tian..."
After a while, Zhou Ting walked out of the Punishment Department angrily.
In order to settle this matter, the Zhou family paid a heavy price, but in the end, an important chess piece of the Zhou family in Nanyang County was lost, and his son was also lost. It can be said that he lost his son and lost his army.
He wished he could cut Li Mu into pieces with thousands of knives and crush his bones into ashes, but in fact, he couldn't do anything.
As soon as he returned to the Zhou family, a servant came to invite him, saying that the family wanted to see him.
Zhou Ting walked through several doors and came to a study room. He knocked on the door and a majestic voice said: "Come in."
Zhou Ting walked into the study and said sadly: "Brother, Chu'er is dead..."
In the study, a majestic figure said: "I already know."
The figure sighed, turned to look at him, and said, "I have warned you a long time ago that you must be strict with yourself and discipline your son well, but you never listened. You indulged his god to do all the wrong things, which led to today's bad consequences."
Zhou Ting said sadly: "It's too late to say this now. Chu'er is dead and his soul is scattered. He doesn't even have a chance to become a ghost. I must catch the murderer of Chu'er and cut him into pieces!"
The figure was silent for a moment and asked: "What did the Ministry of Punishment say?"
Zhou Ting gritted his teeth and said: "The Ministry of Punishment suspects that there is a strong man in the fifth realm who concealed the truth and used the name of divine punishment to kill Chu'er..."
The figure counted his fingers, shook his head and said, "No one else was involved in Chu'er's death. It is indeed related to the head catcher."
Zhou Ting's eyes widened. Although he wanted to let Li Mu die, he did not think that Zhou Chu's death was caused by Li Mu. He was a third-level head catcher and did not have that ability at all.
But the eldest brother has cave mystical skills, can know the stars, and predict the heavens, so there is no way he can make mistakes.
Zhou Ting said angrily: "It's really him, how did he kill Chu'er?"
The figure shook his head and said: "The secrets are unpredictable. It is the limit to be able to calculate that Chu'er's death is related to him."
Zhou Tingdao: "I will ask the dean and your majesty, and they will be able to figure it all out!"
The figure shook his head and said: "Although the dean and your majesty are highly cultivated, they can't do much more calculations than me. It's better not to disturb them. How did the head catcher kill Chu'er? It's not hard to find.
You know, as long as you use the soul-capturing technique on him, the truth will come out."
Zhou Ting thought for a while and said in disbelief: "There are no traces of the use of talismans at the scene, and there is no such Taoist magic. Could it be that it is really..."
The figure was silent for a while and said calmly: "If that's the case, you don't need to pursue this matter any further."
Zhou Ting was stunned for a moment, then said with a ferocious face: "Does my virgin death have to be in vain?"
"If it's a punishment from heaven, it's God's will." The figure said: "God's will comes first. The Zhou family cannot lose its righteousness. You must put the overall situation first."
Zhou Ting was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "I understand..."
