Before Zhongshu Province.

Li Mu looked at Master Mei with resentful eyes, recalled the severe beating in his dream last night, and said, "You betrayed my trust."

Lady Mei moved her lips, as if she wanted to explain, but His Majesty was like her and couldn't tell Li Mu about her private visit to the Li Mansion in disguise. She coughed lightly and said, "I didn't tell Your Majesty, but in

Shendu, if you criticize Your Majesty behind your back, it will be difficult to hide it from her."

As Li Mu improves his cultivation and broadens his knowledge, the mystery of the powerful in the upper three realms has long since faded away in his eyes.

The Queen's cultivation level is high, but it is not so high that she can know the world's affairs while sitting in Changle Palace. Even Li Mu can hear a few words about her. He is now beginning to wonder if the Queen has installed some eavesdropping magic weapon on him.

.

Or maybe yesterday when he was persuading Lady Mei, she used the Mysterious Light Technique to spy on him, but he also had a jade talisman on his body that shielded the secrets of heaven. The Xuan Light Technique could not spy on him. Could it be that the Queen blocked others and only granted permission to herself?

?

Just in case, Li Mu put the jade talisman he carried close to his body into the Hutian Space. Although most of the time, he didn't care about the Queen spying on him, but now it was different from the past, and there would still be a part of the day that was inconvenient for him.

As for the thing that shields the secrets of heaven, he can use talismans instead.

The secret is unpredictable, but shielding is easy. He has the lifelong experience of Fu Daozi and the Taoist inheritance. It is not difficult to draw a talisman to replace the shielding jade talisman.

After saying goodbye to Master Mei, Li Mu walked into Zhongshu Province.

These days, Li Mu has handled all the memorials that need to be handled by him in a timely manner. Today, he has only been busy for more than a quarter of an hour and has nothing to do.

With nothing to do, he picked up a pen and wrote a name on the paper.

"Li Yi..."

This official with the same surname was once a clean figure in the court, but his ending was extremely regrettable.

More than ten years ago, he was a commoner of the Zhou Dynasty and was an enemy of the Manchu dignitaries.

More than ten years later, Li Mu is living in his former house, doing things that he has never completed. It seems that there is fate.

The four dead officials should be one of the people who framed him back then. Who is the real culprit behind their deaths? It is very possible that they are relatives and friends of Mr. Li.

Li Mu felt a little regretful.

Revenge is certainly pleasurable, but the majesty of the law does not allow for provocation.

Those four people broke the law and should be tried by the court. Did he kill many court officials for personal gain? The circumstances were extremely bad. No matter what the reason was, they would not escape death.

At this point, Li Mu couldn't save him? But he also wanted to do something for him, for the hero who died in vain.

Not for anything else? Just for the fate of a house.

He left Zhongshu Province and came to the Ministry of Punishment again.

As soon as the doctor from the Criminal Department saw him, he came out of the government office to welcome him and asked, "Do you have any other orders, Mr. Li?"

Li Mudao: "I want to verify a case."

The doctor from the Criminal Department said: "Which case Mr. Li wants to investigate, I will ask someone to investigate it for you."

Li Mudao: "Fourteen years ago, Li Yi, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was involved in a case of collaborating with the enemy and treason."

The doctor from the Criminal Department trembled when he heard this, and his face immediately turned pale.

Li Mu saw the change in his expression and asked, "What, is there a problem?"

The doctor of the Ministry of Justice dragged Li Mu into his office, and then he dared to take a breath and comforted Li Mu: "Master Li, you must listen to the advice of my subordinate this time. This case is untouchable, really untouchable..."

Li Mu asked: "Why can't you touch it?"

The doctor from the Criminal Department shook his head and said: "This case involves too much, and it has been settled for more than ten years. Why should Mr. Li cause trouble again?"

Li Mu looked at the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment. When he wanted to check the academy, he thought that the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment had never been so afraid.

It seems that this case is indeed somewhat unusual.

Li Mudao: "Just bring the dossier."

The doctor from the Criminal Department still looked hesitant: "This..."

Zhou Zhong walked in and said, "Since Mr. Li wants it, then give it to him."

The doctor from the Ministry of Justice looked at Zhou Zhong, finally nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhou Zhong looked at Li Mu and asked: "More than ten years have passed since this case, why does Mr. Li suddenly want to verify it?"

Li Mu looked directly at Zhou Zhong and asked, "Why don't you check?"

The former owner of the Li Mansion was a friend of Zhou Zhong. He had more reasons than Li Mu to commit crimes for his former friend.

Zhou Zhong did not answer directly, his eyes lingered on Li Mu and said: "You are really similar, even the houses you live in are the same. I wonder if this is a sign from God."

Li Mudao: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Zhou Zhong looked at Li Mu and said, "Don't bring this case up again. I'm doing it for your own good. You've done what many of us can't do. Don't let the results of your previous efforts be in vain...

…”

Li Mu shook his head and said: "Next time, if you dare to speak rudely in front of the Li Mansion, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

Since the owner of the Li Mansion was Zhou Zhong's former friend, Li Mu remembered his old friend the day before his wedding, so Li Mu didn't have to argue with him.

After today, this reason will no longer exist.

The doctor from the Ministry of Punishment had already taken a file. The file was very thick. After Li Mu opened it, he skipped the previous series of evidence. In the fight in the court, if you want to give a person any evidence of guilt, it doesn't depend on what he did.

, but depends on where he stands.

The right side is right, and the wrong side is also right.

Being on the wrong side of the line is also the wrong side of the right side.

He turned directly to the testimony section and saw a series of names.

"Xiao Yuan, the right minister of the Ministry of official affairs, Chen Jian, the doctor of the Ministry of official affairs, Gao Hong, the doctor of the Ministry of official affairs, Zhou Chuan, the young minister of Dali Temple, Liu Kun, the loyal and brave marquis, Yao Bin, the uncle of Ping'an..."

Fourteen years ago, it was these people who convicted Li Yi of treason and had his family confiscated and exterminated.

This was the official position these people held fourteen years ago.

These names are all familiar to Li Muda.

Xiao Yuan, who was the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel at that time, is now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. His identity is that of the Xiao family.

Chen Jian, a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, is now the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel.

Gao Hong, a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, is currently the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Zhou Chuan, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is the younger brother of Shangshu Ling Zhou Jing, the third uncle of the Queen, and is currently Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Most of the people after their names are dignitaries in the divine capital, and they are also the people whose fundamental interests were affected by Li Yi's reform.

Fourteen years later, most of them have become giants in the DPRK. Among them, there are powerful people, pillars of the new party, and royal families of the old party...

Li Mu finally understood why the doctor from the Ministry of Punishment was stopping him. Before, he was just fighting with the juniors of these forces. This time, if he wanted to reverse the case for Li Yi, he would have to face the fathers of those people.

Fourteen years have passed, and they have occupied an important position in the court. It is not easy to move one of them, let alone all of them. It is tantamount to uprooting the new party and the old party from the court, not to mention that there is no

No one can do it. Even if they achieve all this, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be riddled with holes, which will give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhou Zhong looked at Li Mu and asked, "Do you still want to check?"

Li Mu is no longer the stupid young man who first entered the capital of the gods, nor is this a small fight between him and a dandy. To rectify Li Yi's name means to completely clean up the official department, one minister, two ministers, Zhou family Zhou

Chuan, the Queen's third uncle, as the mastermind of this case, is inevitably punished with death...

As for the large number of officials who were subsequently involved, although the crime did not lead to death, their crimes would require a lot of dismissal from office, exile from the army.

Today's Great Zhou court cannot accept such turmoil.

Zhou Zhong's gaze still stayed on Li Mu, and he said slowly: "Go back. If you want to do something for the people in the future, you must know how to protect yourself. Only by protecting yourself can you have hope..."

After walking out of the Criminal Department, Li Mu felt as low as ever.

There are some things that, even if he knows what to do is right, he has to consider the consequences.

He has to think about the Queen and the Great Zhou.

After carefully considering what Zhou Zhong said when leaving, Li Mu seemed to understand why Zhou Zhong's name was on the list he just saw.

Preserving himself and leaving hope behind were probably the choices he made at that time.

At the same time, Li Mu also knew why the murderers in these four cases chose this method of revenge.

Although the law can give him justice, the court cannot.

So he chose to seek justice himself.

Many times, Li Mu hopes that anyone who breaks the law will be punished, but this time, he hopes that this person can escape.

It would be best if after the death of the four officials, he would have given up his desire for revenge and not go to Yantai County again...

Yantai County.

Lieutenant Yantai stood in the courtyard, looking at a figure that appeared in the courtyard, and mocked: "I didn't expect that you really dare to come."

After he finished speaking, four powerful auras appeared in the four corners of the courtyard, covering the entire courtyard with a formation, making it impossible for anyone to enter or exit.
