Chapter 606: Upright Conduct. Acting by the Book. Merit Aura. The Fake Lady Hu!?
“You’re from the Court of Judicial Review?” The young magistrate glanced at Li Yanchu, his eyes showing some suspicion.
However, after examining the waist token, he confirmed that it did indeed belong to the Court of Judicial Review.
“This is under my jurisdiction. Even the Court of Judicial Review should notify me when coming to arrest someone. I cannot fully trust your identity based on this token alone.” The young magistrate’s tone was firm and upright.
Li Yanchu was momentarily taken aback. He hadn’t encountered this situation before.
In the past, he usually slew demons near Wei City.
Later, when crossing regions to hunt demons, he would either finish the job and leave quietly, keeping his deeds hidden, or simply reveal his Court of Judicial Review identity.
Today, he thought that with an official figure present, announcing his Court of Judicial Review identity would suffice. Unexpectedly, this young magistrate was so strict and unyielding.
On reflection, Li Yanchu realized the magistrate was not wrong to insist on proper procedure. He considered his own recent behavior. Had he been acting too freely and impulsively?
For a magistrate who strictly followed the law, Li Yanchu decided to cooperate fully. Together with Minghe, he went to the county office and laid out the entire situation. This included the events in Pu City, as well as the Zhou family’s secret human trafficking over the years.
The young magistrate’s name was Sun Cheng. His appearance was rather ordinary, even slightly unattractive, but his heart was firm and just.
He investigated the remaining survivors of the Zhou family’s schemes and realized this was indeed a monumental case.
“Daoist Master, your conduct is noble. Earlier, it was my mistake.” The young magistrate Sun Cheng bowed respectfully to Li Yanchu.
