The life of the law lies in its enforcement, and the enforcement of the law helps to stabilize the destiny of the Great Xia nation.
Therefore, few people dare to violate Daxia laws, especially the most severe criminal laws.
Although the law must be strictly enforced, there are always unexpected things that happen - things that require punishment according to the law, but do not require punishment based on common sense.
In view of this situation, the Criminal Law specifically grants the Ministry of Justice the power to exempt itself from liability and places this power in the hands of the Minister of Justice.
Theoretically, this power could easily become a means for royal relatives to evade legal prosecution.
In reality, this kind of thing rarely happens. The main reason is that the supervisory power of the five major immortal sects prevents the Minister of Justice from acting rashly.
But a situation occurred that even the original legislators would not have imagined—the Minister of Justice was thrown into prison.
In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Xia rubbed his brows in pain.
Why is it that when it comes to the Daoist sect, they always come up with something new
He received two pieces of news. One was that Yunzhi's exploration in the Immortal Secret Realm had yielded results, and he had discovered a non-existent Xinhuo Dynasty. There was no need to rush, as he could slowly look up news about the Xinhuo Dynasty.
As for Yunzhi's request to move the ancient immortal cave in the Immortal Ruins back to the Wendao Sect, he could agree to it.
The second piece of news was that the Minister of Justice was locked up in a cell, with the Silent Taoist next to him.
If the Minister of Justice dared to leave the prison directly, Taoist Buyu would go around shouting that the Great Xia Dynasty was partial and perverting the law.
If Taoist Buyu dares to leave the prison directly, the Minister of Justice will stop him and ensure that he cannot escape.
deadlock.
"How about granting pardon to Xu Xin?" Emperor Xia muttered to himself. As an emperor, he naturally had the power to grant pardon.
After thinking it over, he gave up the idea and issued another order.
"All members of the Ministry of Justice will move to Dayan County to work."
…
"So, this is why you came to visit me in the dungeon?" Lord Xu stared at his subordinates with a bad face, as if he wanted to eat them.
"Your Majesty has ordered, and we have to obey." The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice tried to keep a straight face, but this scene was too funny. He and several of his colleagues could not hold it in any longer. It took great willpower to prevent the corners of their mouths from rising too much.
Taoist Buyu squatted aside. According to custom, the Minister of Justice and others should greet them, but seeing Lord Xu's gloomy face, they really didn't dare to take any action.
"Sir Xu, these are the official documents from the past two days. Please review them." The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice respectfully handed over several memorials, all of which needed to be dealt with by Sir Xu.
Lord Xu snorted coldly: "Put it here."
Originally, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice wanted to say something like "Just wait for a few days, His Majesty will grant you amnesty after seeing the fun" or "Do you need some food and bedding?" But after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud.
After his subordinates left the prison, Lord Xu picked up the memorial on the ground and began to review it.
He frowned, somewhat displeased.
"Nonsense, I came up with this system after thinking about it for a long time, and it has been proven feasible in county-level practice, and the effect is very good. How could there be any mistakes?"
Taoist Buyu glanced at the contents of the memorial and roughly understood what had happened. The memorial mentioned that a system was useless and increased the workload of the counties. It suggested streamlining the rules of the system, but this system was something Xu Xin was proud of, so how could he allow others to point out its mistakes
He laughed, which sounded like a mockery to Lord Xu: "Lord Xu, are you a saint? You haven't made any mistakes yet. If you are so capable, why don't you become the emperor?"
He was even more displeased and looked at Buyu Taoist coldly. If he were Lord Xu's subordinate, he would not dare to speak at this time, but Buyu Taoist was not afraid of Lord Xu.
A defeated general who suffered three consecutive defeats at the Jindan, Yuanying and Huashen levels.
Taoist Buyu is knowledgeable, has rich criminal experience, and his grasp of legal theory is no less than that of Lord Xu.
“…Have you ever thought about the legislative interpretation, is this what the legislators originally intended…”
"… You forgot that the law has a lag…"
"...Don't give me theories, is this the reality..."
The debate between the two sides became more and more intense, neither side gave in, and they set up a soundproof formation to prevent other prisoners from hearing their conversation.
In the end, Lord Xu's tone was not as sharp as before. The more he spoke, the lower his momentum became. He had to admit that what Master Bu Yu said made some sense.
"Shut up and let me think about it!"
Lord Xu lowered his head and thought without saying a word. Although the old thief is immoral, he never jokes about this. He must be serious when he said this.
This is the result that Emperor Xia wanted.
Although Xu Xin was devoted to the country, worked day and night, and tried to fill legal loopholes, he eventually made some inappropriate decisions.
Emperor Xia was helpless about this. Xu Xin was proficient in the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty to a degree rarely matched, which meant that few people were even qualified to debate with Xu Xin.
Xia Di couldn't say whether Xu Xin was right or wrong, he just felt that it was inappropriate. As for how to improve it, he didn't know.
It just so happens that Buyu Daoren is well versed in law and has rich experience, making him the most suitable person to debate with Xu Xin.
Emperor Xia took this opportunity to let the two of them argue.
Once Xu Xin realizes his purpose, he can be pardoned.
…
When Yunzhi and Lu Yang returned to the Wendao Sect, they happened to meet Meng Jingzhou returning from the dense forest.
He figured out something in the dense forest and had a sudden enlightenment. He returned to the Demon-Suppressing Pass and formed a pill. He let Tao Yaoye and Man Gu continue to look for their own opportunities, and he returned to the Wendao Sect alone.
As for the trivial matter of encountering a disciple from a noble family showing off his wealth on the way back and being slapped in the face by him because he had hidden his identity, it was not worth mentioning.
"Haha, you never thought that this young master has also formed a pill!"
Meng Jingzhou started showing off as soon as he saw Lu Yang.
Although no one knew what kind of golden elixir Lu Yang had formed, he was confident that his golden elixir was the strongest and no one could beat him.
"I'm telling you, this young master's golden elixir is unprecedented, and this young master is about to break the fate of having a single spiritual root!"
Meng Jingzhou is so high-spirited that he doesn't seem to be at the stage of forming a golden pill. He seems to have just become a powerful person in the stage of crossing the tribulation and won't even take the sideways path.
Lu Yang was very surprised and did not pretend: "You still have this ability? What kind of golden elixir did you form?"
Meng Jingzhou chuckled and pulled Lu Yang to the teahouse to drink tea, showing off while drinking tea.
"I don't have a single spiritual root. As long as I want to form one, I will definitely be able to produce a single golden elixir."
Lu Yang nodded. This is what the first single spiritual root Taoist Shendu said in his experience of forming a golden elixir.
"Have you formed the golden elixir of singleness?"
Meng Jingzhou did not answer, but placed a teacup on the table: "This is a person, single!"
Then he placed another teacup on the table: "This is also a person, single!"
He gently clinked the two teacups together, making a crisp sound of porcelain clinking, and said a conclusion that he had pondered for a long time: "Then if two singles are put together, won't they be a couple?"
"so?"
"So I made two single golden pills!"
I originally wanted to write in detail about the debate between Buyu Daoren and Lord Xu, but I decided not to do so to avoid any connection with reality. By the way, I would like to recommend a book called "Improper Beast Taming"
Xu Ran, who traveled through the world of beast control, obtained a pet foster care system...
As a time traveler, I have to babysit other people's pets? I don't want this broken system!
What? By washing and nursing, you can obtain the opponent's skills and teach them to your own pet? By feeding and sparring, you can obtain the opponent's physique and skill proficiency to add points to your own pet? I'm so happy!
…years later…
"Mr. Xu Ran, your foster care shop has now become the most popular foster care shop for pets. Do you have any secrets?"
"The secret is to be attentive." Facing the reporter, Xu Ran said sincerely, "The service tenet of our store is to make guests feel at home. Pets here feel like they are at home."
"But there are rumors that you have a perverse look in your eyes when you are taking care of your pet..."
"Those are all rumors!"
Behind him, the pets with terrifying auras nodded in agreement. Their beastmasters had endured humiliation and sacrificed too much for this family!
