Li Mu wanted to remind Li Si not to say anything, but it was obviously too late.
The Queen cannot be aware of everything that happens in the capital, but nothing can be hidden from her ears inside or outside this courtyard.
Disasters come from the mouth. If people can control their mouths, they can avoid many unnecessary disasters.
Li Si left, and everything seemed to be fine, but Li Mu knew that something was brewing secretly.
Sure enough, as soon as he approached the courtyard, the Queen came out of the garden and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
Li Mu said with some anxiety: "Li Si just can't keep his mouth shut. His Majesty has a lot of people, so don't get along with him. Whatever your Majesty wants to eat today, I will make it for you..."
Zhou Wu glanced at him and said, "I heard from Xiaobai that there is a dish called Wensi Tofu. Why have I never heard of it?"
Li Mu said: "I will buy tofu now."
The queen liked to eat tofu, so Li Mu made a dish of tofu for her every day, and the dishes were different every day.
With the frequency of the Queen's visits to the Li Mansion, it won't be long before she drains all the tofu dishes out of Li Mu's mind.
Although Wensi Tofu is a test of knife skills, it is not difficult for Li Mu now. Practitioners of magical powers can control their bodies to a very exquisite level.
There was no tofu at home. He walked out of the house and was going to buy some on the street. Not far away, he saw a person crawling out of the gutter on the side of the road.
The man's body was covered with vegetable leaves and sewage. Even from a distance, Li Mu could smell a stink.
He immediately held his breath and was about to leave. When he took a closer look, he realized it was Li Si.
Li Mu said in shock: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Si shook his head and said: "I was walking on the road just now and accidentally stepped on the air. I'll go to your house to take a shower and change my clothes..."
"No need, just stay here..."
Li Mu made a secret with his hands, and the void condensed into a column of water, pouring down from Li Si's head and washing away the dirt on his body.
How could a dignified spiritual practitioner fall into the gutter on the roadside for no apparent reason?
Li Si was not surprised by this, and seemed to regard it as an ordinary accident.
Li Mu couldn't think of anyone else who could do this silently.
No one knows better than him how small-minded the Queen is.
If Li Si turned back to Li Mansion, he might not just fall into the gutter.
He waved his hand to dispel the stench around him and said: "When you see Miss Zhou in the future, don't talk nonsense. She has a great background. A single thought can make you unable to survive in God..."
…
In the sky above the city of Gods, the names on the Qingyun List are still shining with golden light.
This list will stay in the air for three days, and every name on it will be given glory.
At the entrance of the examination hall, countless candidates left in lamentation.
The way of the imperial examination can be said to be like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Only one person among dozens of people can be ranked. This is still the first year. In future imperial examinations, each county can recommend more talents. I am afraid it will be one out of a hundred.
, choose one out of hundreds...
The people on the list are naturally very famous, but they are a minority after all, and the vast majority of students are just accompanying them on a trip.
After the candidates dispersed one after another, officials from various ministries walked out of the examination hall.
An official from the Ministry of Household Affairs shook his head and said: "The imperial examination competition is too cruel. Candidates who get full marks in digital arithmetic have no chance to be on the list because they fail to pass the criminal law."
Another official said: "The questions on criminal law are really too difficult. I have read the test papers and I am afraid that even if I did it myself, I would not be able to pass. Who knew that there are so many twists and turns in criminal law?"
.”
One official sighed and said, "It's incredible that Mr. Li was able to get a perfect score on the criminal law test paper. He is indeed a person valued by His Majesty."
The doctor of the Ministry of Punishment also had some regrets and said: "Most of the candidates focused on policy questions. There are only a few who are really willing to study criminal law with their hearts and minds. Finally, one person only answered one question wrong.
Arithmetic and policy questions are too mediocre to qualify for the top 100 list. It's a pity, it's a pity..."
At the entrance of the examination hall, Wei Peng looked up at the Qingyun List in the sky, shook his head and left.
Behind him, a voice suddenly came, "Li Mu got perfect marks in the first section of criminal law. You are ninety-five. Do you know which section you are wrong in?"
Wei Peng turned around, bowed to Zhou Zhong, and said, "Please give me your advice."
Zhou Zhong said calmly: "A woman was walking at night and met the villain Zhang San. She wanted to violently attack her. The woman pretended to agree and first deceived Zhang San to the river. While he was undressing, he pushed him into the river.
Zhang San tried to go ashore several times, but was blocked by the woman. Later, Zhang San was washed away by the water and drowned. Zhang San's family sued the woman to the Ministry of Punishment, asking what crime this woman had committed? What should you do if you were an official of the Ministry of Punishment?
settle a lawsuit?"
Wei Peng said: "Excessive defense is a crime of murder, but since Zhang San committed the murder first, we can give this woman a light sentence according to the circumstances."
Zhou Zhongdao: "Li Mu's answer is not guilty."
Li Mu's perfect score in criminal law means that the Ministry of Punishment also believes that the woman is innocent, which is far from Wei Peng's judgment.
Wei Peng raised his head and said: "Students don't understand. The law says that human life is more important than heaven. The woman has already made a defense. There is no need to stop Zhang San from saving himself, causing him to drown in the end. Even if he may not have committed intentional homicide, it is still manslaughter."
"
Zhou Zhong asked: "If you were that woman, what would you have done at that time?"
Wei Peng thought for a while and said: "After pushing Zhang Shan into the river, I will escape immediately."
"Run?" Zhou Zhong looked at him and asked: "It won't be long before Zhang San comes ashore. You are a weak woman. Even if you run dozens of steps first, what can you do? He will still catch up by then."
, what do you think your result will be?"
Wei Peng was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he had not thought about this situation in the examination room.
After he came to consciousness, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, he will be raped."
Zhou Zhong said calmly: "If you were that Zhang San, who was deceived by a weak woman, pushed into the river, and almost drowned, what would you do when you climbed out of the river and caught up with her?"
Wei Peng was just a bit dandy in the past and would not rape women. With his status, he could get as many women as he wanted.
When he brought his identity to Zhang San, Wei Peng suddenly woke up. For a villain who would block a woman in the middle of the night with the intention of raping him, if he was set up against him, he would almost die. When he got out of trouble
Later, in anger, the rape originally planned may turn into murder.
He finally realized where he had gone wrong.
What he protects is the law, and what Li Mu protects is the people.
In his mind, there was only the law and that human life, but he did not consider the actual situation of the case. In that case, in order to save his life, this woman's only way was to prevent Zhang San from landing.
Zhou Zhong said calmly: "There are many officials in the Ministry of Punishment who know the "Da Zhou Law" by heart, but they still cannot be good officials because they are so proficient in the law that they only know how to use the law to judge cases.
You have lost your humanity. If you judge this kind of case from the perspective of hindsight, you will get the same result as you."
Wei Peng bowed and said: "Students will be taught."
Zhou Zhong suddenly asked: "Why do you want to study the law?"
Wei Peng thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know. At first, I wanted to protect myself from being bullied by Li Mu, but later I felt that the law seemed quite interesting..."
"interesting……"
Zhou Zhong glanced at him indifferently and said: "If you want to be an official, come to the Ministry of Punishments to see me early tomorrow morning."
…
The first imperial examination held by the imperial court was announced today, and until night, the golden hundred names were still shining in the night sky.
The name of the number one scholar, Li Mu, is the biggest and brightest. As the number one scholar in civil and military affairs, he is naturally the most discussed topic among the people.
He beat up dandies and punished evildoers. He not only dared to confront the officials of the Ministry of Justice in the Ministry of Justice, but also dared to curse all the courtiers in the court.
People who don't like him talk about him behind his back.
He said that apart from his good-looking face, he had no other abilities.
He said that he only relied on the support of the Queen. Without the Queen, he was nothing.
He said that everything he had today was achieved through flattery to the Queen.
In this imperial examination, he once again proved himself to the world.
He surpassed the students of the four major academies and the talents of the thirty-six counties of Wuzhen, and won the first prize in both civil and military affairs at the same time, completely blocking the mouths of those people.
He made the world see clearly why, among all the courtiers in the palace, the Queen only favored him?
Literary writing can bring peace to the world, and martial arts can mount a horse to determine the world. This is the real talent. He is worthy of the Queen's special favor. In front of him, any academy student or future prince can only serve as a foil...
Of course, Li Mu becoming the number one scholar in both civil and military affairs also proved one thing from the side.
Her Majesty the Queen had a keen eye and discovered Li Mu's talent from the very beginning, instead of just being attracted to Li Mu's male beauty as the rumors said.
After the imperial examination results were published, both the courtiers and the common people had to say in their hearts that the Queen was wise...
