Being stared at by Li Mu, Huang Wei felt a little guilty.
He had never seen such a county magistrate who was so vulgar and overbearing as a father.
"Good, very good. Your honor, you are really a powerful official. Haha, I will remember. But in Taibai County, your words may not necessarily count. Haha." Huang Wei came back to his senses and no longer concealed himself. He smiled coldly and said with a hint of mockery, "I will pass on your words to my master without missing a single word. I hope that your words will be fulfilled when the time comes. Heh heh, this lowly one will take his leave."
After that, he turned around and left.
After two steps, he felt that it was not enough, so he turned back and said with a contemptuous smile, "Your honor, you just came to Taibai County, so you may not know the importance of our Magical Medicine Pharmacy in the county. You'd better take time to inquire about it, otherwise, three days later, I'm afraid it will be too late for you to regret."
After that, he left.
A small shopkeeper dared to be so arrogant in the county government. It could be seen how domineering this Magical Medicine Pharmacy and the Shennong Faction behind it were in Taibai County.
Li Mu looked at his back and wanted to catch up with him several times to beat his mouth, but finally he couldn't help it.
He knew that he had been regarded as a soft persimmon because he lived in seclusion for more than 20 days after he took office.
How could it be?
It seemed that he really had to show his fangs.
He had to find a chance to let these aborigines on the alien planet feel the warm greetings from the earth.
Now he was not in a hurry. Three days later, he would clean them up together.
But before that, Li Mu still needed to figure out something.
"Come on, send Zhang Li and Zhang Qin 'er to the clinic to heal and rest." Li Mu said.
The woman and her daughter were helped up by the runners.
"Don't worry, three days later, I will give you justice." Li Mu comforted the poor orphan and widow.
Zhang Li and Xiao Qin thanked him a lot and left.
They finally saw a trace of fairness and hope when they were in the darkest and most desperate time of their lives.
"Why are there only six of you in today's court trial?" Li Mu returned to the official chair and looked at the remaining four guards. He had felt strange before. Qing Feng had roughly mentioned that there were a hundred guards in the county government. But today there were only six guards? Where were the others?
"Uh, this …"
"This …"
The four guards hemmed and hawed.
"You tell me." Li Mu pointed to the guard who spoke at the beginning, "What's your name?"
This guard was very young, in his early twenties, with a strong body and a sharp face. Being pointed at by Li Mu, he suddenly changed his face and stammered, "I'm Zhang Ru … The others … may … have been sent out … I'm not very clear …"
As soon as Li Mu saw that, he knew the truth was definitely not as simple as he said.
However, after some thought, he waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
He couldn't get anything from these little guards.
The guards immediately retreated as if they had been pardoned.
"Young Master, someone is trying to make you a mere figurehead." The little attendant Ming Yue said angrily.
The little boy, Qing Feng, finished recording the process of Master Li Mu's first trial. He put down his writing brush and stood up, saying with a worried look, "This time, Ming Yue is right. The atmosphere in the government is not normal these days …"
Ming Yue was happy at first, and her beautiful big eyes were like crescent moons when she smiled, but then she realized something. Her white and delicate pointed ears moved, and she looked at Qing Feng and said, "This time? Do you mean that what I said before is wrong? "
Qing Feng, "…"
"I suddenly remembered that Young Master's underwear has not been washed yet. I'll go back to wash clothes first …" Qing Feng turned around and left.
Ming Yue jumped up, "Don't go. Tell me clearly."
Li Mu touched his forehead.
Where did Li Mu, who had fallen off the cliff, find these two funny attendants?
The first trial did not give Li Mu a good feeling, and he didn't get the pleasure of showing off.
The main thing was that Li Mu seriously thought about it and felt that he should take the initiative to integrate into this world, and it was better to have an intersection or collision with the martial arts circle of this world. Although the old faker said that safety was the first, there was no absolute safety on the road of martial arts. A good sailor could not be trained in a calm lake, and a real captain could only be trained in stormy waves.
If Li Mu wanted to reach the level of martial arts cultivation to go out of the planet within 20 years, he must fight.
After figuring all this out, Li Mu's mind was much clearer.
He returned to the back office and continued to practice.
…
Early the next morning, he asked someone to summon Ma Junwu, the Dutou Official of the guards, to know something.
"Greetings, Your Honor."
Ma Junwu was a burly and majestic man with a beard and a square face. He wore a black soft armor and a cloth conical helmet, with a heavy sheathed steel knife hanging on his waist. He was quite imposing. As one of the three Dutou Official in Taibai County, he was obviously quite powerful. At least Li Mu felt that he was stronger than the leaders of the six Bloody-moon faction warriors who chased him that day.
"You are welcome, Dutou Official Ma. Please sit down." Li Mu pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Today I invite Dutou Official Ma here to ask you some things about Jianghu."
"Things about Jianghu?" Ma Junwu was stunned. The young county magistrate who had been avoiding him some time ago summoned him not for the county government, but to ask about Jianghu?
Li Mu nodded and said, "I heard that Dutou Official Ma is also from a faction?"
Ma Junwu was a silent man of martial arts, so he said, "I am from Taibai Faction."
"Taibai Faction?"
"Yes, it is located in Taibai Mountain. Among the thousands of factions in the empire, Taibai Faction ranks 99th. It has entered the ranks in the whole continent and belongs to the ninth rank faction. Ten years ago, I was fortunate to get the guidance of an outer elder of Taibai Faction, who accepted me as a registered disciple and taught me martial arts." Ma Junwu said honestly.
In fact, the reason why he could become the Dutou Official of Taibai County guards was not only the appreciation of the former county magistrate, but also the identity of the outer disciple of Taibai Faction. After all, within thousands of miles, Taibai Faction had a great reputation and far-reaching influence.
"The ninth rank faction?" Li Mu said thoughtfully, "Factions are also divided into ranks?"
Ma Junwu thought that the young county magistrate did not know these common sense of martial arts because he devoted himself to literature, so he nodded and replied, "Yes, the three empires and the top nine Holy Clans rule the world together. In addition to the top nine Holy Clans, there are also tens of thousands of other factions. Thousands of years ago, there were ancient sages who divided the order of the continent. The factions could not directly rule the secular world, but they also needed to be ranked. Once they entered the ranks, the factions had secular privileges, and their disciples were not completely bound by secular laws …"
Li Mu did not speak and quietly listened to Ma Junwu.
He probably understood that this world was actually different from the ancient times on the earth.
In this world, the power of martial arts could play a role in dominating the fate of the country. There were thousands of factions everywhere and penetrated every corner of the world. The three empires on the continent, the Western Qin, the Northern Song, and the Southern Chu, stood side by side and ruled the secular world. Many officials, ministers, and generals in the empire had the background of a faction, and even the royal families of the three empires were also martial arts forces with a long history.
Although according to the old faker, this was a low-level martial arts planet, it was obvious that the martial arts level of this planet was much higher than that of the ancient times on the earth.
"Who are the top nine Holy Clans?" Li Mu asked again.
"Your honor, you don't know?" Ma Junwu was very surprised. In the world, it was reasonable not to know the names of the emperors of the three empires, but it was very strange not to know the top nine Holy Clans that ruled the world and had a history of thousands of years.
Li Mu said seriously, "Oh, it's like this. Some time ago, I fell off the cliff and hurt my head."
Ma Junwu was skeptical, but he still answered, "The nine factions are Huazang Temple, Qingcheng Taoist Temple in Qingcheng Mountain, Magic Sun Hall, Devil Mansion, Wendao Academy, Diancang Faction, Wolf Temple on the prairie, Great River in the extreme south, and Guanshan Pasture, the Holy Clan of the Western Qin Empire."
Li Mu nodded and did not continue to ask in detail for fear of arousing Ma Junwu's suspicion. He changed the topic and said, "I am a scholar, and I don't know anything about martial arts cultivation. Excuse me, Dutou Ma, how are the martial arts realms divided? Are there different names for different levels of martial arts? "
Ma Junwu did not doubt this time and patiently explained, "There are realms in martial arts cultivation. Normal healthy people can improve their strength by practicing methods, which means they are more vigorous and stronger than ordinary people. With some moves of martial arts, they can defeat more than ten ordinary people with bare hands. If they have the strength of a thousand pounds, they are in the Joint-force Realm and can be regarded as a top master in Jianghu. If they can successfully open the Qi Gate in the body and master the internal qi, they are in the Joint-qi Realm and can be regarded as a third-rate master. If they can go further and combine their strength and qi, they are in the Joint-thoughts Realm and can be regarded as a second-rate master in Jianghu …"
Speaking of this, Ma Junwu did not continue to say.
Li Mu listened with great interest. Seeing him stop, he hurriedly asked, "What about above the Joint-thoughts Realm? What other realms are there? What kind of strong people can be regarded as first-class masters? "
Ma Junwu smiled bitterly and said, "My aptitude is not good, and what my teacher taught me in the past is some basic martial arts. I don't know the specific division of the Joint-thoughts Realm and above. As for the real first-class masters, except for my teacher, I am afraid there is no one in Taibai County, and I have never seen them."
"May I know which realm Dutou Ma is in?" Li Mu asked again.
Ma Junwu did not hide and said, "My aptitude is not high, and I only entered the Joint-qi Realm after ten years of hard practice."
"Wow, that's also very strong." Li Mu complimented him insincerely.
He nodded thoughtfully.
The feeling and pressure that Ma Junwu gave him was not particularly strong, and Li Mu was confident to hurt him with one punch.
That was to say, his current fighting power was stronger than the warriors in the Joint-qi Realm and could be regarded as a third-rate master.
