Chapter 58 Let Me Make a Brief Introduction

Li Mu shouted.

At the same time, here came the sound of footsteps.

Behind the walls around them and from the streets, nearly a thousand armed soldiers, government guards, and civil guards showed up. Archers lined up to encircle the whole Shennong Faction ruins.

All of the armed forces of Taibai County had appeared there.

Standing in front of the soldiers were Feng Yuanxing, the secretary, Ma Junwu, the Dutou Official of guards, and little boy Qing Feng, and all of them were standing below the willow branches near that little adorkable Ming Yue.

Some Jianghu people had changed their looks.

How did the officials get involved in the Wulin disputes?

Of course, some people showed a scornful look on their faces.

There were not so many soldiers who wanted to surround so many martial arts masters. Were you kidding?

Li Mu lazily stretched out and slowly walked over, stepping along the ladder on the side of the fighting ring, and slowly stepped onto the ring.

Let me make a brief introduction. I am Li Mu, the county magistrate of Taibai County.

Li Mu, facing countless eyes around him, embraced his chest with one hand and made a very gentlemans earth meeting gesture. He grinned, and his snow-white teeth reflected white light in the sunshine, like a row of sharp daggers.

There was another sound of uproar in the crowd.

Li Mu, the head of Taibai County, finally appeared?

How could it be such a young man?

What was he doing?

Li Mu looked around and was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone.

In such a spectacular occasion, witnessed by so many shocked and terrified people, he appeared Haha, that was the actual treatment of the leading role in such way.

Oh, so you are the county magistrate, Mr. Li. Im really sorry if Ive offended you, but I dont know why you make such big trouble. What do you mean by that?

Tie Zhendong, the Iron Hand Holding up the Sky and the leader of Huya Faction, had made obeisance and said he was sorry, but he did not actually show respect on that old face.

To be honest, Tie Zhendong, a famous master of Northwest Wulin World in that mainland for decades, had not taken a humble county magistrate seriously.

Li Mu smiled and said, What I mean is very simple. You have gathered illegally in Taibai County without my permission and picked a quarrel and made trouble According to the law of the Empire, it is necessary for you to give a clear explanation.

There was a burst of laughter all around before Li Mu had finished his sentence.

Many Jianghu people had laughed.

Tie Zhendong also showed a slight disdainful smile that was not deliberately concealed on his face, and he said, I dont know what you want me to explain? Your honor.

Its very easy. Li Mu seemed to have not found his sarcasm, and the smile on his face was even brighter. He just said, Its very simple. First of all, please calm down in our prison, explain clearly what you have done, and accept the punishment according to the Imperial Criminal Law. I am a fair man, and I will never do anything that intentionally suppresses you.

Before Li Mu had finished his words, there burst another loud laughter around the fighting ring.

Some people looked at Li Mu as if he was an idiot.

Sun Xin, the Judge of Iron Pen, who was standing on the fighting ring, couldnt help laughing, saying, For twenty years in the Northwest Wulin World, no one has ever said such a thing to me. Even if youre superior, the magistrate of a prefecture of Changan, would not ask me to go to prison to calm down Boy, you are the first one to do that. Arent you out of your mind? Whats your reason for wanting me to go to prison?

Li Mu was not angry, and he just said, The reason is the imperial law. After all, Im a reasonable person in this county, and I will never act in a random way without a basis.

There came another sound of laughter below.

Too naive.

That was their first evaluation of Li Mu.

Could the government control everything?

That might be true a long time ago.

Jianghu heroes were watching for fun.

Empire Law? Sun Xin, the Judge of Iron Pen, shook his head with a playful look on his face. Thats not a strong reason.

Oh? Li Mu seemingly asked solemnly, What else is missing?

Sun Xin, the Judge of Iron Pen, looked around.

He looked at the nearly a thousand soldiers who were surrounding them as if he was watching clay chickens and pottery dogs.

Finally, Sun Xin took back his eyes and looked at Li Mus face. He became more compassionate and abusive, saying, No matter how powerful the law is, it needs someone to enforce it. And it needs enough strength to enforce the law. Its not enough for you to enforce the law just depending on those weak soldiers. What you lack is a strength.

Over the years, the Empire of the Great Qin Dynasty had bad governance, so it became less powerful. As for the Supervisory Department, which was specially set up to restrain Jianghu people, was also engaged in a series of internal fights, so Jianghu masters within the Empire became more and more arrogant. Especially in the last decade or so, many Jianghu people had always challenged the empire.

From more and more Jianghu peoples point of view, the Empire of the Great Qin Dynasty, which had frequent internal friction, seemed to have no such strength.

Oh, you may have misunderstood, Li Mu said sincerely.

What do I misunderstand? Sun Xin showed disdain and arrogant look.

He wanted to know what kind of rhetoric could be used by this young county to give hi
