Li Mu had no doubt that the Empress was benevolent.
Although she hadn't been on the throne for long, she had always been benevolent when she was on the throne. She would often consider the people's feelings. In the case of the evil spirit in Ruyang County, the county magistrate's family had been slaughtered. She didn't follow the usual rules, but followed the people's wishes and pardoned Xiao Yu.
However, Li Mu didn't really believe that she was magnanimous.
Women were creatures that held grudges. This had nothing to do with their identity, personality, or position. Liu Hanyan wouldn't sleep with Li Mu that day because he said the wrong thing. Li Qing would also find a random reason to make Zhang Shan patrol the streets for three days because of his blabbering.
The Empress had a high position and power, but she was only 28 years old. Although women at this age could be considered mature, their hearts often hadn't changed from that of a young girl.
On the other hand, young girls were fickle and calculative. They were often not magnanimous.
Of course, whether or not the Empress was magnanimous didn't have much to do with Li Mu. He was a firm supporter of the Empress. He would only protect her and wouldn't take the initiative to offend her.
Mr. Mei and Li Mu had a strange conversation and then left the government office. Li Mu was confused.
He felt that there was a hidden meaning in her words, but he couldn't figure out what exactly she meant.
Li Mu stopped guessing. In order to confirm whether or not what happened last night was an accident, he forced himself to sleep again. He tried countless times in the morning, but that woman didn't appear even once. Li Mu finally felt relieved.
Until now, the cultivation world only knew a little about inner demons.
Some people's inner demons didn't take form. It was just a kind of emotion. This kind of emotion would make people unable to calm down and hinder cultivation.
This was the lowest level of inner demons.
High-level inner demons could affect the owner's personality and even spiritual wisdom. Some cultivators with weak wills would be invaded by inner demons and lose their spiritual wisdom. They would completely fall into the demonic path.
High-level inner demons could even manifest another personality and fight with the cultivator for control of the body.
Li Mu was worried that he would encounter such inner demons.
However, it was strange that the inner demon formed in his subconscious was a woman and had such a special fetish.
In his dream, that woman was terrifyingly powerful. Li Mu couldn't defeat her at all.
Fortunately, she didn't appear after last night. Li Mu planned to observe her for a few more days. if she didn't appear in the next few days, it would mean that last night was just a coincidence..
Three days later, in the morning, Li Mu was holding onto Xiao Bai.
Stroking Whitey's smooth fur, Li Mu's heart was completely at ease.
In these three days, the woman in his dream didn't appear.
Once an inner demon was born, it would be uncontrollable. After three days of peace, it was almost certain that the series of dreams that night were not because of an inner demon.
Although Li Mu didn't know the specific reason, as long as it wasn't because of his inner demons, everything was fine.
He came to the county yamen in high spirits. Zhang Chun looked at him in surprise and asked, "What happy event did you encounter? Why are you so happy?"
Li Mu said, "I slept well, so of course I'm in good spirits."
Zhang Chun nodded and said, "That's right. It's more comfortable to sleep in a big house. If you have time, come to my house for tea …"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Next time when I have the chance …"
Hearing him mention a big house, Li Mu's heart began to ache again.
This was a classic example of someone who took advantage of others but didn't want to admit it. Commandant Zhang, no, it should be Prefect Zhang now, was flushed with success these days. He had been promoted and moved. Most importantly, all of this should have been Li Mu's.
He had very well taken revenge for the suffering and exhaustion he had suffered that day. In the end, Li Mu enjoyed the fruits of his labor.
Li Mu didn't want to see Zhang Chun. He walked into a room and asked Wang Wu, "How has Wei Peng been in prison these days? Did he cause any trouble?"
Today was the last day Wei Peng was released from prison. Li Mu had been worried about his Empress and had almost forgotten about him.
"No." Wang Wu shook his head and said, "He's been reading books in prison."
Li Mu was surprised and asked, "Reading books? What books?"
Wang Wu said, "After he went in, he had Yang Xiu give him a copy of 'The Laws of Great Zhou.' These days, other than eating and sleeping, he's been reading books."
One wasn't afraid of hooligans being bold or cultured. One was afraid of hooligans being bold, cultured, and understanding of the law. After Wei Peng had suffered a few losses at Li Mu's hands, he seemed to have learned his lesson and decided to use the law to defeat the law.
If he really was familiar with the Laws of Great Zhou, perhaps he really could cause some trouble for Li Mu.
At the very least, it wouldn't be so easy for him to fish next time.
This was a matter for the future. Li Mu didn't care about Wei Peng anymore. He walked out of the government office and patrolled the streets.
As a constable, patrolling wasn't Li Mu's responsibility. However, for the sake of psychokinesis, he would do such a small thing himself.
The people still greeted him warmly, but there was very little psychokinesis left in their bodies.
This was because a large part of the psychokinesis had been taken by Zhang Chun. In addition, it had been a few days since the previous incident. The popularity was no longer there. It was impossible for the people to continue producing psychokinesis.
If he wanted to continue to obtain psychokinesis, he had to do something to make them produce psychokinesis.
However, after the abolition of the Crime Substitution Silver Act, most of the children of officials in Shen 'du quieted down. Li Mu couldn't just go up and beat them up indiscriminately. In the past, it was to promote the reform. Now, there was no legitimate reason.
The sound of horse hooves approached from afar. Three figures on horseback galloped past the intersection not far in front of Li Mu.
After the abolition of the Crime Substitution Silver Act, very few people rode on horses on the streets. Li Mu had seen this person once. It was the Zhou Clan's descendant that Wang Wu had advised Li Mu not to provoke.
The people pointed in the direction that the Zhou Clan's descendant had left and discussed animatedly.
Li Mu thought for a moment and chased after them with large strides.
It wasn't easy to obtain the psychokinesis of the people. The more others didn't dare to do it, the more he wanted to do it.
Li Mu had just reached the end of the street when he suddenly heard an uproar in front of him. It was mixed with the cries of the people.
Li Mu's expression changed. He quickly ran toward the crowd in front of him.
The Zhou Clan's descendant was still riding on his horse. There was a long trail of blood on the street in front of the horse.
A few feet in front of him, a figure lay on the ground.
It was an old man. His chest was caved in as he lay on the ground, no longer breathing.
Golden light surged in Li Mu's eyes. He did not discover the old man's three souls. There was only a faint wisp of soul power floating above the old man's corpse.
He was already dead.
The seven physical souls were still present, but the three souls were already scattered.
The three souls of mortals would gradually weaken with illness and age. At the end of their lives, they would no longer be able to turn into Yin spirits. Only those who had an extremely strong obsession and resentment when they were alive would have the possibility of turning into Yin spirits if they died a wrongful death.
The people surrounded the old man from afar and shook their heads in pity as they looked at him lying on the street.
When the three of them rode over, the passersby all dodged. The old man was old and his legs were inconvenient. He did not dodge in time and was accidentally sent flying dozens of feet. Given his age, he was most likely dead.
"What are you doing? What are you all doing here?"
A few bailiffs from the Ministry of Justice parted the crowd and walked out. When they saw the old man lying on the street, the leader took a few steps forward and stretched out his finger to check the old man's breathing. His face instantly darkened and he said in a low voice, "He's dead …"
He raised his head and pointed at the young man on the horse. He cursed, "Bastard, you … you, Zhou, Zhou, Minister Zhou …"
When he saw the person on the horse clearly, he trembled and immediately said, "We still have important matters to attend to. Goodbye …"
After saying that, they quickly slipped out of the crowd and disappeared.
When the crowd saw this, their faces darkened and they shook their heads.
Although the Ministry of Justice was not on the same side as the Zhou family, even they did not dare to offend the Zhou family.
The two middle-aged men had already dismounted from their horses. Their faces were ugly. They glanced at the young man and said, "Third Young Master, you go back first. We will take care of this."
The young man glanced at the old man and frowned. Just as he was about to turn his horse around, he was blocked by a figure.
"It's Constable Li!" The crowd exclaimed.
The young man looked coldly at Li Mu and said, "Get out of the way."
When the young man opened his mouth, Li Mu could smell the strong smell of alcohol.
After driving his horse under the influence of alcohol and killing people, he still wanted to escape the scene. Li Mu said coldly, "Get down from the horse!"
The young man's face was filled with murderous intent. He swung his horse whip and charged directly at Li Mu.
"Fleeing after killing people and still dare to attack!" Li Mu leaped up and kicked the young man's chest. The young man was kicked off his horse. Fortunately, a middle-aged man caught him in the air.
Li Muhan angrily kicked out, the force of his kick wasn't light. However, the young man's chest actually trembled. He was only sent flying by Li Muhan's kick and wasn't injured.
Even so, his face was filled with anger. He pointed at Li Mu and said to the two middle-aged men, "Kill him!"
The two middle-aged men's faces were bitter. This little ancestor was really spoiled. If he killed one person with his horse, there was still room for negotiation. If he killed this official, they were afraid that it would cause a lot of trouble.
One of them looked at Li Mu and said, "This is the young master of the Zhou Family's fourth master."
He was worried that Li Mu did not know Director Zhou, so he introduced himself first.
The name Zhou Family was second only to His Majesty in Fairy's Capital. If he was smart, he would know what to do.
Li Mu's face darkened. "I don't care about the young master of the Zhou Family or the Wu Family. I am a constable who receives a salary from the country. This person killed people on the street. If I let him go just like that, how can I face His Majesty and the people of Fairy's Capital?"
The crowd was excited. "Constable Li is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
There were also people who looked worried. "This is the Zhou Family. How can Constable Li go against the Zhou Family?"
The people from the Ministry of Justice watched from afar. Although they were not on good terms with Li Mu and even had some grudges against him, they had long forgotten about their past grudges.
The leader of the constables looked at Li Mu with a complicated expression. "I'm really impressed this time."
The person beside him shook his head. "You have to be impressed …"
The last constable opened his mouth wide and said, "This guy is really not afraid of the heavens or the earth …"
