Although Li Mi had tried his best to collect information, he really didn't know much about the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so that he was a little incredulous, and he didn't know why the officials of the torture room were completely cowardly.

That's because the laws of the Ming Dynasty were notoriously harsh in ancient history, and Zhu Yuanzhang's so-called harsh punishment was really daunting.

The Ming law was originally harsher than the Tang law, and the Tang Dynasty had abolished the corporal punishments such as ink, slash, non, palace and Dapi, and changed them to flogging, rods, streams, imprisonment, and death, while the Ming Dynasty restored these corporal punishments, and beheaded the owl at every turn.

For another example, in the Tang Dynasty, for those who rebelled against the Great Rebellion, usually, they only executed their ancestors, fathers, and children and grandchildren over the age of 16, and no longer executed others, while Zhu Yuanzhang, because he was the emperor of the uprising, basically had a zero-tolerance attitude towards things involving the stability of imperial power, and the affairs of the nine clans also happened from time to time.

And the law of the Ming Dynasty is not only harsh to the people, but also very strict to the officials, in addition to the "Ming Law", Zhu Yuanzhang also personally participated in the formulation of the "Great Decree" and other laws, and the corrupt officials were even more skinned and filled in the grass and placed in the yamen to warn these officials.

Just imagine, you have just taken office, and as a result, your predecessor has been skinned and made into a scarecrow, standing next to your official position, and you must not be afraid to do any official business?

The death penalty in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be abused to the point of abuse, like the example of Wu Yong, the official of the torture room, if it is seriously investigated, the matter will be big, I am afraid that the old lady of the county will push him out without hesitation and let people behead him, he is naturally afraid!

It's a pity that Li Mi doesn't know this very well, seeing that Wu Yong is cowardly, he is only secretly happy in his heart, but on the other hand, Li Mi made Wu Yong feel the threat of death, this Liang Zi is settled, and the grudge is not ordinarily big!

Wu Yong could only swallow his anger at this time, and said to Li Mi: "Thanks to this friend's kind reminder, our company almost delayed this case, and I dare to ask my friend's name, and I will repay him a lot in the future." ”

Although Wu Yong's yin and yang are weird, even Li Mi can feel the coldness in his words, but since Li Mi dares to offend him, he has already been mentally prepared, and he has done so much, isn't it just to let the people of the county government know about it!

The so-called shadow of the tree, the name of the person, Li Mi did not shy away from reporting the name.

Wu Yong nodded in thanks, and then said to Xiucai Lu Chongning: "Since there is a suspicion of murder, then we can only invite Mrs. Zun's body back to Yizhuang to be parked, so that the county magistrate will allocate manpower, strictly investigate and visit, and I will definitely give you a fair return." ”

Lu Chongning was already sad and angry at the death of his wife, and he didn't have a good impression of the perfunctory Wu Yong, so he just arched his hand at this time, so he didn't say more.

Wu Yong didn't want to be bored, so he instructed him to carry the corpse back, and everyone gradually dispersed.

Lu Chongning came over to thank Li Mi, and Li Mi took the opportunity to say to Lu Chongning: "Lu Mao can remember today's events, if he can go to high school one day, he must not forget his heart, let these ignorant soaps harm the township..."

Moreover, he Lu Chongning is in his thirties, he is considered an old talent, and his family background is gradually declining, and others don't think much of him, and now Li Mi has not only helped him a lot, but also has such a heroic and righteous spirit, he is also humbly taught.

"Xiaosheng remembered it in his heart, but he didn't know where Brother Li's family lived? I can't trust these officials, and I want to ask Brother Li to help me with the investigation of the case in the future, and I also ask Brother Li to help me again! ”

Li Mi also expected it, because Wu Yong and others were so ignorant and ignorant, they naturally wanted to lose Lu Chongning's trust, and his performance was so eye-catching, he completely became the backbone of the Lu family, Lu Chongning was worried that this case would become a death case, and if the murderer could not be caught, his deceased wife would not be at peace for a day, and he would naturally ask Li Mi for a day.

Li Mi is naturally willing to help, this is the first case he has been the first detective!

But that's not how things are done, if you agree happily and help for free, it seems a little ill-intentioned, Li Mi is a person who has mixed with society, so he naturally understands this truth, and he is immediately a little embarrassed.

"Although a certain has also done a case in his hometown, but he has already changed his business, and now he has opened a small shop in Yaxing, doing some small business, and he really can't get away, this case has been asked by the county master, there should be no problem, Maocai is still waiting for the results of the government with peace of mind..."

When the nine buckets next to him heard this, he realized that he had mistaken Li Mi, and he always thought that this big bright shoe was a big wrong, but he knew that he was more shrewd than Qingque'er!

"Liar, this is! What a little shop! It's also a small business, selling balls and eggs, living in a broken temple, three meals have not been settled, and what kind of! Jiu Bucket muttered in his heart, secretly rolling his eyes at Li Mi.

However, Lu Chongning believed Li Mi's words, because although Li Mi was dressed simply, he had to look at his feet, and Li Mi was wearing a pair of leather shoes, whether it was a style or material, it was not something that could be easily seen.

Moreover, Li Mi has an extraordinary bearing, he is not even afraid of the officials of the torture room, and he is a talented person, and he is a capable person!

Thinking of the government's style, Lu Chongning was really anxious, he was a county student, and it can be said that he had stepped into the officialdom with half a foot, and he was also clear about the curves and turns in the officialdom.

Although Wu Yong looked at the concession, Li Mi broke his face in the end, although this case has been confirmed as a murder, but it is not a matter of three days and two days to find the murderer.

If this Wu Yong delays for some reason, his wife's body will stop in Yizhuang, how can he be buried in peace, and how can he avenge his wife as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Lu Chongning hurriedly handed over a look to his family, and the servant next to him hurriedly took out a silver bag from his arms and stretched out his hand to grope in it, but Lu Chongning directly grabbed the silver bag and stuffed it into Li Mi's hand!

"I also know that Mr. is busy with business, but his deceased wife is dead, and there is no way for her husband to ask for help, and I ask Mr. to make decisions for me, these Xu Yinzi are a little bit of heart, and I have the right to compensate for Mr.'s business, and ask Mr. to help my Lu family get justice!"

Lu Chongning has already said this, if Li Mi takes care of it again, this scene will not be able to be performed anymore, so he immediately sighed and said to Lu Chongning.

"Lu Maocai is deeply affectionate, and Li is also admired, well, Li Mou will also sacrifice his life to accompany a gentleman this time!"

Lu Chongning naturally also knew that the case would naturally be investigated by the county government, and Li Mi and he would investigate secretly, and they would be suppressed by the government to some extent, especially Li Mi, who had just offended Wu Yong, and the pressure and even danger he faced would not be less.

"Mr. rest assured, he is also a student in the next year, and he has studied for many years, although he has not won the first, but he has also made a lot of contacts, and he also has some friendship with the school of Fuxue, although Mr. is assured to investigate the case, how will Mr. be wronged!"

With Lu Chongning's guarantee, Li Mi was also a lot more relieved, and after agreeing to it, Lu Chongning would invite Li Mi to go home with him and live in Lu's house, which would also be convenient for him to investigate the case in the future.

Li Mi originally lived in a ruined temple, and it was not a place for people to stay, but now that he has a place to live, he is naturally happy, but he still walked to the side of the nine buckets, touched a few silver bills from the silver bag, and stuffed them into the hands of the nine buckets.

"Xiao Jiu, you go back and ask the guys to help watch the store, when I'm not there, and don't be lazy and rude, you know!"

Jiu Bucket also knew that Li Mi, the unjust big-headed ghost, was tight, this was sealing his mouth and asking him to help fulfill the lie, so he immediately pretended to be a stupid little girl, and nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Lu Chongning was even more worried, so he hurriedly asked his family to clean up and go home.

Li Mi took the opportunity to advise Jiu Bucket: "Go back and tell Qingque'er, let him help me find that person, only when I find that person, this case can be regarded as a bit eyebrow-raising, remember!" ”

Li Mi remembered the grounding order given to him earlier by Qingque'er, and took out a larger silver ingot from the silver bag and secretly stuffed it into the hands of the nine buckets.

Jiu Bucket is not a stupid person, he also witnessed the whole process, and naturally knows that the person Li Mi said is the person who misled Chen Shi, even if that person is not a murderer, he is also an eyewitness, and his importance is beyond doubt.

However, his doubts were not on that person, but on Li Mi and asked, "Hey, wronged boss, do you really want to get involved in this case?" It's not going to end well with those dog sluts in the public gate..."

Li Mi smiled slightly: "Little fatty, I'm not a show, no matter where I am, there are good people and bad people, and not all dog officials in the public gate, no matter what, someone will always stand up and protect the low-level people like you and Qingque'er, right?" ”

"Besides, I'm a man who aspires to become the first detective of the Ming Dynasty!"

Jiu Bucket glanced at Li Mi up and down, this man is also in his twenties, and his appearance is not bad, especially a pair of eyes, as deep as the sea, with a scarf on his head, although he is coarse cloth on his body, and he is wearing shiny shoes in a nondescript manner, and he has let Jiu Bucket see that he is more ghostly than the tooth man, but for some reason, he really believed his words in his heart!

However, Jiu Bucket was full of disdain on the surface, digging his nostrils and saying: "Just you, a wronged and fart detective, rest assured to go to the Lu family to eat and drink, in this Suzhou City, there is no one we can't find, and in two days, we will definitely find it out for you!" ”

Nine buckets said so, while grabbing their buttocks, they walked away, but Li Mi looked at this back, and for no reason felt that these nine barrels might also be a character!

Lu Chongning saw that Li Mi had explained clearly, so he invited Li Mi back to the Lu family, and took Li Mi to meet the old lady of the family and told him everything, and the old lady also respected Li Mi as a guest.

The Lu family has a manor in the southwest of Suzhou City, although it is a little dilapidated, but it can still be seen how majestic and heroic it was at its peak, it can be seen that the Lu family still has a family background, and there is a feeling that a thin camel is bigger than a horse.

The reason why Li Mi agreed to come to the Lu family is naturally not like the nine bucket little fat man said, come here to eat and drink, if you want to investigate this case, you must do a background check, whether it is a murder of passion or a murder of love, the first thing to understand is naturally the situation of the deceased, and presumably no one knows more about his wife than Lu Chongning.

After Lu Chongning's hospitality, Li Mi finally began to get into the main topic of the investigation!
