It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 307

"Well said!" Yuan Mu nodded approvingly after hearing Mu Liuyun's words, "Once a good person commits evil, he must be punished according to the law, and the heinous person should not add crimes at will. It is the righteous way of the criminal law!"

Mu Liuyun quickly nodded in agreement. The longer she gets along with her, the more she can realize how comfortable it is to have a like-minded Shangguan. Express your feelings directly, without beating around the bush, let alone being cautious.

Since being by Yuan Mu's side, apart from the initial anxiety, the rest of the time has been the relaxation and indulgence that Mu Liuyun has never experienced before.Although she would still say some compliments to Yuan Mu from time to time, they were all from the bottom of her heart, which was completely different from the hypocrisy and slander she used to say to Magistrate Yang.

However, thinking of the fact that someone appreciates her talent, and the topic that was brought up just now, Mu Liuyun became a little curious again. Now she is much more relaxed with Yuan Mu, so she will not look forward and backward as before, and dare not ask in depth. At this moment, the doubts that had been hidden in my heart for some days surged up again.

"My lord, I have a doubt, and only my lord can help to solve it." She turned her head and looked, Shen Yu, Yuan Jia, and Yuan Yi didn't follow, they were discussing something in the distance, and there were no other people around. , a piece of bare wasteland, without even a shelter that can call people "the walls have ears", so there is probably nothing inappropriate to ask.

"Tell me." Yuan Mu nodded to Mu Liuyun, signaling her not to hold back.

"I asked my lord before, how did I discover my secret, my lord, you said it was a long story. Now Steaming Bone has to wait for more than an hour, I don't know if it is enough to talk about this 'long story' with my lord?" Mu Liuyun asked curiously.

When she asked this question, Yuan Mu's expression suddenly became a little subtle, his eyes flickered slightly, but this time he didn't find any excuse to change the topic, nor did he refuse to answer the question, he just turned his face slightly to one side, He pursed his lips and coughed lightly: "I saw you once before the case of the headless female corpse."

Mu Liuyun looked at Yuan Mu in bewilderment, not quite understanding why his expression looked a little weird.

It's not surprising that I met myself once. Jiangzhou is within the jurisdiction of the Criminal Division on Jingji Road, and Taiping County is not far from the Criminal Division. I was the manager of Jiangzhou Prefecture at that time. It is common for criminal cases to go here and there, and it is not uncommon for Yuan Mu to bump into them.

But it is because it is not unusual, seeing his strange reaction now makes people feel even more puzzled.

"Where did your lord meet me? Why... I don't have any memory at all?" Mu Liuyun thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out where he met Yuan Mu. He guessed that he must have seen him secretly during a private visit in casual clothes. Otherwise, with his identity or official position, I am afraid it would be difficult to go in and out of the yamen so low-key!

Mu Liuyun couldn't help but quickly reflected on his usual words and deeds, thinking that there was no major flaw, and he really couldn't guess how Yuan Mu discovered the secret of his daughter's body.

To say that he has bright eyes is not pure flattery, but if he has sinister eyes, then there is no need to be so... embarrassing, right?

Yuan Mu touched his nose, and his voice was slightly lower than usual: "You have encountered a group of bandits before, and you won a chance to escape for yourself thanks to your good eloquence."

Mu Liuyun was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "It's true!"

That happened a long time ago. That time she was also helping Nanshun County under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou to clean up a mess that they had messed up. It happened to be at the junction of Nanshun County and Xisi County. When she went back I was really tired, so I wanted to take a shortcut to save myself some energy, but I ran into a few bandits in the woods.

Mu Liuyun was lucky that he didn't wear an official uniform that day, otherwise the scene really didn't know how it would end, after all, as a member of the government, it would be inappropriate for her to not express anything when she met bandits.

It was the same with the bandits, they collided with the government officials, and the other party was just a small manager who was as big as a sesame seed, so it would be unreasonable if they didn't react.

The other party is a group of people, and Mu Liuyun is alone. There is no need to discuss who has a better chance of winning.

In contrast, Mu Liuyun, who was dressed in casual clothes and looked like a thin young man, gained temporary safety.

Those bandits saw that she was going from Nanshun County to Xisi County, and saw that her clothes were exquisite from fabric to workmanship, and she was white and tender, so they immediately regarded Mu Liuyun as The young master of a rich family in Xisi County tied her hands without saying a word, asked her about the situation of her family, and wanted to extort some money.

Mu Liuyun knew that he was outnumbered, and the most important thing was to stabilize the other party and ensure that his life was not in danger. When he was about to make a mistake, he made up a set of family circumstances, falsely claiming that he was drunk and unconscious, and made a bet with his cronies , I just ran to the wilderness alone, and I was sober at dawn, I hurriedly wanted to go back, but I was tied up here unexpectedly.

She claimed to a few bandits that she was the only seedling in her family, and that as long as she didn't touch her, her parents would be willing to pay any amount of ransom, but if something happened to her, her parents would only wish to die.

The bandits didn't have any doubts about her words, left her aside, and began to happily discuss how much ransom money was appropriate. Mu Liuyun listened for a while, and found that although these bandits belonged to the same group, But each has its own thoughts, and it can be seen that they can be divided into two factions, each of which is secretly dissatisfied with each other and secretly guards against each other.

This discovery made Mu Liuyun overjoyed, and realized that she didn't have to gamble with her life, waiting for the bandits to escort her to Xisi County to demand ransom, so she used her brains and inserted a sentence or two from time to time. It was to save his life, so he actively curry favor with the bandits, but actually secretly fanned the flames.

With her unrelenting efforts, the group of bandits had a dispute within a short while.

Mu Liuyun took advantage of the fact that none of them were convinced and wanted to take the lead, and had no time to stare at his own space. While continuing to put on a bitter face and pretend to be afraid, he secretly grinded the rope that bound his hands on the tree trunk behind him.

It was also her luck that the tree behind her was thick and old, with thick and hard skin. Not long after, Mu Liuyun felt her hands loosen and the rope snapped.
