Seeing that the constable did not back down even after hearing about the Zhou family, the Transcendent realm cultivator looked at the other person and said, "I'll stop him. You take the young master back first …"
Of course, the Zhou family's disciples could not be taken away like this.
This was their duty as guards.
Once they reached the Zhou family, everything that happened would be shouldered by the Zhou family. It would have nothing to do with them.
Anger rose in Li Mu's heart.
It was one thing to ride a horse on the streets. People like Wei Peng, Yang Xiu, and Zhu Cong were just a little arrogant and liked to bully people with their power. The people suffered some losses and did not dare to speak out.
But this person from the Zhou family was different.
He rode a horse while drunk and killed people on the streets. Not only did he not feel any remorse, he became even more arrogant. A fresh human life was nothing in his eyes.
The two Transcendent realm cultivators clearly did not care about this human life either.
Li Mu looked at them and said coldly, "Killing, fleeing, resisting arrest. According to the laws of Great Zhou, you can be executed on the spot as a warning to others."
The middle-aged man was a Transcendent realm cultivator. He stood in front of the Transcendent realm cultivator and said with a smile, "You can try."
Li Mu looked at him and asked, "Are the lives of people so cheap in your eyes?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I cannot let you take the young master away. This is my duty."
Li Mu looked at him coldly and said, "Sorry, this is also my duty. I am arresting the murderer according to the law. Those who stop me will be punished as well …"
As he finished speaking, a sword light slashed towards the middle-aged man's head.
Swoosh!
The middle-aged man pulled out the long knife at his waist and blocked it.
Clang!
After the sound of metal clashing, the long knife in his hand broke in two and fell to the ground with a clang.
At the same time, one of his arms fell to the ground.
With Li Mu's current cultivation, using Baiyi as a regular weapon was actually not enough.
After all, Bai Yi was only in the Xuan class. Its greatest use was Madam Chu, who could provide Li Mu with level-four mana. If he used Bai Yi alone against level-four cultivators, this sword would instead weaken the power he could unleash.
Therefore, when he swung his sword down, he sent Baiyi into the Flask Heaven Ring and replaced it with the Qingxuan Sword.
An ordinary sword strike had broken the middle-aged man's saber and severed his arm.
His Mystic-ranked high-grade weapon was broken into two, and at the same time, his arm was broken as well.
The middle-aged man stared blankly for a moment, then his complexion greatly changed. He hurriedly used his other hand to take out a piece of Fu-lu and stuck it on the severed arm. Only then did he manage to stop the madly gushing blood. He sat on the ground and circulated his magic power to regulate his breathing.
Before the other middle-aged man could leave with the young man, he saw this shocking scene.
Li Mu pointed his sword at the two of them and said indifferently, "Killing and fleeing, one of you try to escape?"
The remaining middle-aged man's face turned ugly. He didn't expect a Spirit Condensation cultivator to have such a divine weapon. But he still had to take the young master away.
He grabbed the young man's shoulder, and the two of them rose into the air, ready to leave.
Li Mu waved his hand and threw out a piece of Fu-lu. The Fu-lu turned into a ray of golden light and entered the middle-aged man's body. He only felt the magic power in his body stagnate, and he suddenly couldn't circulate it. Both he and the young man fell from the sky.
He hit the ground and stared at Li Mu. He asked, "Do you really want to become enemies with the Zhou Clan?"
It wasn't Li Mu who became enemies with the Zhou Clan, but the Zhou Clan who became enemies with him. And this wasn't the first time. This time, it was time to settle the old and new scores together.
Of the two middle-aged men, one was severely injured with a severed arm, and the other's magic power was sealed. Li Mu walked in front of the young man and said, "You want to escape after killing someone? Do you think there are no laws in the Immortal's Capital?"
It seemed that he wouldn't be able to escape today. The young man wasn't afraid. He only looked at Li Mu mockingly and said, "Let's go."
He didn't have anything on him. Li Mu looked at the bailiffs from the Ministry of Justice who were hiding in the distance. He saw one of them holding a metal chain and said from afar, "Lend me your metal chain."
The bailiffs looked around, threw the metal chain on the ground, and silently retreated.
Li Mu waved his hand and the metal chain flew into his hand. He tied up Zhou Chu and walked to the old man who was hit. He sighed and looked around. He asked, "Who is willing to help me carry the old man's body to the county yamen?"
The crowd was in a commotion. Soon, a man stood out and said, "Constable Li, I'll do it!"
Li Mu saluted him. "Thank you."
The man grinned and said, "It's my duty."
Li Mu held the metal chain in his hand as if he was leading a dog. Zhou Chu followed behind him. The two middle-aged men followed closely behind him. Wherever they went, the streets were in an uproar.
"Why did that man lose an arm? It's so scary …"
"Isn't that Young Master Zhou of the Zhou family? Why is he chained up? What crime did he commit?"
"Does it matter what crime he committed? What matters is who dared to arrest him?"
"Didn't you see? The one holding the chain is Constable Li. Other than Constable Li, who else in Luoyang would dare to do such a thing?"
"This is going to be a big show. It's the Zhou family …"
"Show my ass. I'm worried about Constable Li. If something happens to him, who will redress the grievances of the people of Luoyang?"
…
At the entrance of Luoyang yamen, Wei Peng was greeted by Yang Xiu and Zhu Cong.
After five days in prison, he looked haggard. His hair was messy, his eye sockets were dark, and his beard was unshaven. However, he was in high spirits.
He held a thick copy of the Great Zhou Law in his arms and said regretfully, "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have suffered so many losses at the hands of Li Mu …"
Yang Xiu looked at him and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
Wei Peng looked around and said, "I'm not done with him yet. I'm going to …"
Before he could finish, he suddenly saw a group of people walking toward the yamen.
The one walking in front was Li Mu, whom he had been thinking about day and night for the past five days.
At this moment, Li Mu's face was gloomy and murderous. He held a metal chain in his hand. A person was tied up behind the chain.
Wei Peng recognized him at a glance. He was Zhou Chu of the Zhou family.
This was the kind of person he usually met on the streets and needed to avoid.
But now, Zhou Chu was being chained up by Li Mu like a dog.
Beside Zhou Chu were his two bodyguards. One of them had a broken arm and half his body was dyed red with blood. The glaring red color made Wei Peng dizzy.
Yang Xiu's attention was on Wei Peng and did not see this scene. He asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Wei Peng swallowed and said, "I'm going to study the Great Zhou Law carefully after I go back. I think we were wrong in the past. I must be a law-abiding person in the future …"
Yang Xiu was stunned. He thought he was hallucinating.
In the next moment, he seemed to have realized something, and he looked forward.
He was startled when he saw Li Mu walking towards him with an iron chain that had Zhou Chu tied to it.
Wei Peng and the other two blocked the yamen door. Li Mu said in a deep voice, "Move!"
Before Yang Xiu could react, he was pulled away by Wei Peng and the other two.
Li Mu brought Zhou Chu and the other two in. They could still smell the pungent smell of blood. Yang Xiu said in disbelief, "Am I seeing things? Li Mu caught Zhou Chu?"
Zhu Cong swallowed and said, "You're not seeing things. That's Zhou Chu …"
Yang Xiu was still in disbelief. Although Zhou Chu was not a direct descendant of the Zhou Clan, he was one of the most difficult people to provoke among the Zhou Clan disciples. He was the kind of person that no one dared to look at when walking on the streets.
He murmured, "Catching Zhou Chu? Is he crazy?"
Wei Peng's face was a little pale. He said, "This person doesn't want to live. We'd better not provoke him in the future …"
At the back of the yamen, Zhang Chun was tasting tea.
For the past two days, he had been in a very good mood, especially when he saw Li Mu's gloomy expression.
He had to let him have a taste of the bitterness in his heart at that time.
Thinking like this in his heart, when he saw Li Mu walk in with a cold face, the smile on his face became bigger. He said, "Li Mu, sit down and have a cup of tea …"
Li Mu said, "No, there's a murder case that needs to be heard by Daren."
"What?" Zhang Chun immediately lost the mood to drink tea. He stood up and asked solemnly, "What kind of case?"
Li Mu said briefly, "Someone was drunk and rode a horse on the street. An old man was killed. I have brought him back. Daren needs to deal with him."
Zhang Chun strode to the front of the yamen and said angrily, "Outrageous, who is so bold …"
Li Mu said, "Zhou family, Zhou Chu."
Zhang Chun's footsteps stopped. His face was a little pale. He turned back and asked, "Which Zhou family?"
Li Mu looked at him and said, "There's no doubt. It's the Zhou family that Daren is thinking of."
Zhang Chun's body swayed. He held the wall to steady himself. He looked at Li Mu and said angrily, "I just took advantage of you a little. Do you have to treat me like this?"
