Chapter 75 King’s Law
"I, the Tiger Blade Gang, don't even have a level 3 protective suit. Why don't you change the terms?"

Zhang Mingze said to Li Fei.

There are many third-grade exotic beasts, but only a few can be used to make protective clothing. The same is true for the second-grade superior steel armor implant used by Li Fei.

What's more crucial is that the technology for making protective clothing is top secret, and only the imperial court has mastered this technology. The protective clothing worn by the regular martial artists of the Zhige Academy in various places are directly distributed by the capital, and each piece of protective clothing is recorded in a book and strictly supervised.

Therefore, the amount of protective clothing exposed is very small.

Li Fei stared at the other party and said, "Then you can find someone else for me to kill."

Zhang Mingze narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the box was somewhat solemn.

"Okay, then level three protective clothing."

After a moment's silence, Zhang Mingze finally agreed to Li Fei's conditions.

Li Fei: "Give me the other party's information."

Zhang Mingze handed Li Fei a document: "Three days, is that enough?"

Li Fei did not answer, but took the document and started reading it.

The document records an official named Feng Zhenshan, who is 47 years old and has been working in the Judicial Yuan for 15 years.

In addition to the other party's basic information, it also contains the other party's daily route, places they like to go, how many guards are around them, and so on.

"He is an official of the Court of Justice. Why does he have so many guards when he travels?"

After Li Fei finished reading the information in his hand, he opened his mouth and asked.

Zhang Mingze: "The Judicial Yuan is in charge of the law, adjudicating cases and sentencing. Feng Zhenshan has been abusing his power for personal gain and has offended many people over the years. Naturally, he needs to find a few more guards for himself."

Li Fei looked at the other party and said, "Among the people who were offended, the Tiger Blade Gang is also included, right?"

Zhang Mingze smiled slightly: "If you don't believe what I say, you can check it yourself."

"I will."

Li Fei took the documents in his hand, stood up and left the box.

Zhang Mingze looked at his departing back, thoughtfully:
"Are you a righteous person?"

There were few people on the cobblestone street, and no vendors were setting up stalls.

There is a mansion in the middle of the street.

At the steps outside the gate of the mansion, there is a stone lion more than two meters tall standing on each side, which is very imposing.

There is a plaque on each side of the gate, with a couplet inscribed on it:
First couplet: Serving the public with integrity, standing on ice

Second line: To benefit the people, to walk in the mirror with integrity
On the plaque right above the gate were three big characters written - Judicial Yuan!

This is the Judicial Yuan which is in charge of the laws of a place and is the department with absolute power.

Two guards in dark black uniforms stood at the gate, with square-topped hats on their heads and knives on their waists. They looked majestic and straight ahead.

A burst of noise suddenly came from inside the courtyard gate.

Soon, two guards wearing the same uniform pushed out a couple wearing coarse linen clothes very roughly.

"Sir, please be kind and allow us to plead for him. My son has been wronged!"

"Sir, I beg you, my son is innocent!"

The couple was forcibly expelled from the gate of the Court of Justice. They knelt at the bottom of the steps and kowtowed to the guards to beg for mercy.

"roll roll roll!"

A guard cursed impatiently.

"What's the point of you two kneeling here?"

"Do you have the final say on whether your son was wronged or not?"

"The court has its own laws, and the people above will enforce them impartially. If you continue to shout here, you will be defying the law. Do you believe that I will arrest you and throw you all into jail, and then you and your family will be reunited?!"

"Get out of here!"

Under the threat of the guards, the couple had no choice but to get up and leave quickly.

The two guards at the gate were already accustomed to such scenes, and asked their colleagues with a smile:

"What's the situation with this couple?"

"Stop talking, it's so damn unlucky!"

The guard who chased them away snorted, "I've already reminded them to give gifts to the master, but guess what? These two idiots actually brought an old hen as a gift?!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

The two guards at the gate burst into laughter upon hearing this, and one of them even laughed to tears.

"An old hen. Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter."

"What a pair of idiots! They still want adults to overturn their son's case? Get ready to die!"

"Okay, okay, stop talking and go in. There are quite a lot of people here today."

After some conversation, several guards walked back into the Court of Justice.

After a while, two guards came out carrying an old man with white hair.

After the two guards carried the old man out of the gate, they simply let go and threw him off the stone steps. He fell heavily and lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up.

One of the guards pointed at the old man on the ground and cursed:

"You old fool, this is the Court of Justice. If you dare to cause trouble here again, I'll chop you to pieces and no one will speak up for you!"

After cursing, the two turned around and prepared to go back.

"Hey, brother, this old man has come here many times. What happened this time? Why is he so angry?" the guard at the door asked curiously.

"This old man has lost his mind. He actually dared to offend you just now!"

"Oh? That's too light a lesson. Which adult did he offend?"

"Judge Feng."

"It turned out to be Lord Feng. No wonder Lord Feng is kind-hearted."

"That is."

Several people were chatting casually, and no one looked at the old man lying on the ground.

After a long while, the old man finally got up from the ground with difficulty, with scratches on his face and hands.

His face was filled with misery. He looked up at the plaque that read "Yuan of Justice", then turned away tremblingly.

The old man walked for a while and rested for a while, and it took him a long time to walk back home.

His home is a two-story courtyard.

After walking through the front yard and arriving at the main courtyard, the old man was sitting on a stone bench and suddenly burst into tears.

The crying was extremely suppressed and very sad.

"Old man."

A voice suddenly sounded beside the old man.

The old man was startled and looked up quickly, only to see a green evil ghost mask. His face suddenly changed drastically.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

Li Fei gently held the old man with his hand and spoke softly.

After he got Feng Zhenshan's information, he asked Liu Saner to help him find out. Although the Tiger Blade Gang was most likely not deceiving him, his cautious character made him not trust anyone easily.

Liu Saner soon found out some information about Feng Zhenshan and informed Li Fei about some cases that the other party had handled.

Judging from the handling of these cases, Zhang Mingze did not lie to him. Feng Zhenshan was a scum who abused his power for personal gain and abused the law to bully the people. Killing him was doing justice.

But Li Fei still didn't rush to take action.

He found out that the other party was handling several cases recently, and the old man in front of him was related to one of the cases.

So Li Fei ran to the outside of the Judicial Yuan and waited there. When he saw the old man first, he followed him all the way home.

"Who are you?"

The old man looked at the mask on Li Fei's face with doubt.

Li Fei said softly: "I am someone who can help you."

"Help me? How?"

"I know that your son and daughter-in-law killed someone, and the person in charge of this case is Feng Zhenshan, the third-level chief judge of the Judicial Yuan, right?"

"What's the use of knowing this? How can you help me?"

When the case was mentioned, the old man was no longer so nervous, and was replaced by deep despair.

"Can you tell me in detail the cause and process of this case?"

Li Fei found a stone bench and sat down, then asked.

The old man glanced at Li Fei. Although he felt strange that someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and offered to help him, he did not want to miss any opportunity, so he told Li Fei in detail about his family's case from beginning to end.

This case is not complicated:

The old man’s family has been in the tofu business for generations, and by the time it was passed down to his son’s generation, they had some savings.

In order to allow his children to study in the city and receive a good education, the old man's son plans to buy a house in the city.

In the end, the other party took a fancy to this two-story courtyard, but all his savings were still not enough.

So the old man's son went to someone to borrow some money at high interest rates, which is also known as usury.

I thought my business was good and I would be able to pay back the money in no time. But I never expected that my business would go wrong and a long-term big customer ran away after owing the money.

Now the old man’s family’s funding chain was completely broken, and he couldn’t pay back the loaned money for a while, and the money kept growing.

What followed was half a year of long-term debt collection and various threats and intimidation.

A week ago, the debt collector came to the old man’s house again. He not only beat the old man’s son, but also touched his daughter-in-law. In the end, he even raped the daughter-in-law and threatened to make her pay off the debt with her body!
The old man's son could no longer bear it and fought back with a kitchen knife, injuring the debt collector. The debt collector, in a rage, also pulled out a knife he was carrying and chopped at the old man's son.

The final result was that the old man's son and his daughter-in-law worked together to hack the debt collector to death.

In this case, according to the laws of the Da Lan Dynasty, the old man's son and daughter-in-law had a chance to be acquitted. This is what Feng Zhenshan, who was in charge of the case at the beginning, told the old man.

"Feng Zhenshan hinted to me that as long as I gave him some gifts and bribed people, my son and daughter-in-law would be acquitted. But soon after I gave him the money, he changed his mind and said that the victim's family had also given money to others. This case is now difficult to handle. In the end, my son and daughter-in-law might be convicted of intentional homicide and sentenced to death!"

"I panicked and asked him what to do. His words implied that I had to send more money. I had no choice but to mortgage the house to someone else and exchange it for a sum of money, which I gave to Feng Zhenshan, just hoping that my son and daughter-in-law would be safe. After he received the money, he promised me that there would be no problem with the case."

"But when I went to ask him about the case today, he changed his tune again! He said that the situation was not right now, that the victim's family had bribed many people, even his superiors, and that the case could only be sentenced as intentional homicide. I was furious and wanted to argue with him, but his people threw me out."

The old man wiped his tears as he spoke.

Li Fei listened to the case with cold eyes. He looked at the old man:

"Is this how the Judicial Yuan handles cases on a daily basis? They take advantage of both sides, trying every possible way to squeeze money out of both sides, and in the end, they will favor whoever gives more money?"

The old man looked desperate: "How can ordinary people like us understand the ins and outs of this? We only know it when we are suddenly involved in a lawsuit."

He paused for a moment and said in a weak, crying voice:

"Where is the law in this world?"
