The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

She was always known for her calmness and toughness, but now tears were flashing in her eyes. "If she is not that kind of person, doesn't that mean I am a habitual liar?!"

Pei Yu waved his hands anxiously: "It's not like that..."

Just as the waves of emotions were about to surge, several constables in official uniforms pushed through the crowd and took a few steps closer.

They had never heard of the legendary doctor Sheng Junwei. They only saw Han Yue'er twisting a man's wrist in the room, so they naturally thought that the brave girl was Sheng Junwei, so they saluted respectfully: "Hello, Doctor Sheng."

Sheng Junwei was speechless for a moment, while Han Yueer was surprised at first, and then gave Sheng Junwei a disdainful look.

Ever since she successfully exorcised the evil spirit for the empress dowager, Sheng Junwei used the excuse of being exhausted and stayed indoors for several days. She was slow to report to the Ministry of Justice, so it was understandable that no one in the Ministry of Justice recognized her.

Li Le followed the constable's footsteps, squeezed through the crowd, stood next to Sheng Junwei, and called softly, "Shopkeeper."

The detectives discovered that they had worshipped the wrong person, and the situation immediately became awkward, with everyone silently complaining in their hearts.

In fact, it is not their fault. After all, who could have expected that the purpose of summoning the constable was to catch an accomplice?

At the scene, a man who looked like a thief was crawling on the ground, and the person who subdued him naturally became the person who reported the crime. There was no logical flaw in this.

The woman who was mistaken for Dr. Sheng looked no different from an ordinary lady in the boudoir. In comparison, Han Yue'er, who bravely defeated the enemy, appeared particularly heroic, so the misunderstanding is not difficult to understand.

Just as everyone was mumbling in their hearts, a middle-aged officer stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Sheng Junwei, "Sir Doctor, may I ask why you urgently summoned us here?"

Instantly, Sheng Junwei's heart surged with a wave of emotion, and a thoughtful gleam flashed in her eyes. She spoke in a leisurely tone, with an unquestionable majesty: "Take this heinous serial killer back to the Ministry of Justice to receive the punishment he deserves."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bolt from the blue. There was an immediate commotion among the crowd, and discussions arose, like boiling water, noisy and heated.

The man suddenly raised his head, which had been lowered, and there was a gleam of ferocity in his eyes, as if he was a beast that was forced into a desperate situation and was about to make a final struggle.

However, this fierce look only lasted for a moment, and then it receded like the tide, replaced by a pitiful expression: "Sir, I am really more wronged than Dou E! Please be discerning and clear this unjust accusation for me!"

Old man Wang standing by was stunned, his lips trembling slightly, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes: "This... no, this sir, is there some misunderstanding? How could Steward Liu have the idea of ​​killing me? We have been in the same village for many years and are as close as brothers. What exactly does he want? This is unreasonable!"

The whispers among the crowd gradually increased. Some shook their heads, while others sneered, "See, women are not good at being officials. How can they casually label someone a serial killer? Look at how skinny he is. He would fall over if the wind blew. How can he be a serial killer? Isn't this a joke!"

However, the officers in uniform remained calm and showed no signs of taking any action.

They were already dissatisfied with this young lady who was suddenly promoted to the fifth-rank position. It would be fine if she really had extraordinary means or a profound background, but she was just a woman who rarely went out.

What was even more unacceptable to them was that they were entrusted with such an absurd task as soon as they took office. This arrangement made them feel that their intelligence was insulted.

"This guy is as thin as a bamboo pole. It's difficult for him to even lift a knife, let alone kill someone, unless his target is a baby of a few months old!" An officer muttered in a low voice with disdain on his face.

After hundreds of years of development, the legal system of the Great Sheng Empire has become increasingly complete. Although there are still flaws, it can protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people to a large extent.

No one wants to get into the situation of arresting someone without any evidence and then being sued if you release him.

Especially when facing the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she really made a wrong judgment, she would probably be safe and sound, and they, the low-level servants, would become scapegoats.

Sheng Junwei's face darkened, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Don't tell me, you want to openly disobey my orders?"

At this time, a middle-aged officer coughed lightly, clasped his fists and saluted, his voice slightly vicissitudes: "Master Langzhong, it's not that we don't obey, but we really have something difficult to say. In our Dasheng, the legal system is strict. If you want to arrest a criminal, you must follow due process, with clear evidence and legal procedures. Although there are precedents for impromptu arrests, it is limited to officials above the fifth rank, and must be officially authorized by the Ministry of Justice, or when the facts of the crime are known for sure."

He paused and continued, "In the current situation, we have neither the official order from the Ministry of Justice nor solid evidence to prove that this person committed a crime. Without both, it is difficult to obey your order."

Sheng Junwei's face became increasingly grim. This was one of the reasons why she insisted on catching the criminal on the spot and finding direct evidence.

Although she has not officially taken up the post in the Ministry of Justice, she can temporarily call upon resources with the help of the token. However, it is not easy to command these people to act willingly without solid evidence.

"If you take action now and bring this man to justice, I promise that each of you will be awarded a third-class merit. Isn't such a reward enough to tempt you?" Her words were filled with unquestionable authority.

The officers looked at each other, obviously waiting for instructions from the middle-aged officer.

The young people did not dare to act rashly until the experienced old officer gave a clear opinion.

Seeing this, Sheng Junwei's eyes were sharp, and her words revealed an unquestionable power: "Although I have not yet officially assumed my new post in the Ministry of Justice, I am a fifth-rank doctor appointed by His Majesty himself, which just fits the second situation you mentioned. After I officially take office, I will definitely ask the Minister to find out whether the officials of the Ministry of Justice enjoy some special "privileges" that allow them to ignore the law and act against the will of the emperor!"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at everyone, as if warning them that if they did not obey her orders today, they would not blame her for enforcing the law impartially and mercilessly in the future.

The officers finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke in a hurry, with a bit of awe in their tone: "Sir... Sir, please forgive our stupidity, we will obey your orders in everything!"

There was a hint of indifference in Sheng Junwei's eyes, and she completely disdained to argue with those ignorant people.

Her eyes turned slightly, and fell on Pei Yu as sharp as a cold star, and her tone was calm and majestic: "Tie him up and send him to the Ministry of Justice for punishment. I will remember your contribution."
