Chapter 111 Make You Submit
The constables didn't know who the legendary Physician Yu was. Seeing You Bingyue holding a man by the back of his hand in the room, they instinctively mistook her for Yu Zhiyi and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Physician Yu."
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
You Bingyue was stunned for a moment, then cast a disdainful look at Yu Zhiyi.
After exorcising evil spirits for the Empress Dowager that day, Yu Zhiyi asked for a few more days of vacation, citing excessive exertion.
Therefore, he never reported to the Ministry of Justice.
It's normal that the people in the Ministry of Justice don't recognize her.
Wu Shan followed behind several constables, squeezed through the crowd, and ran to Yu Zhiyi's side: "Master."
The constables realized they had paid homage to the wrong person and felt embarrassed.
At the same time, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
They can't be blamed for this.
No matter who you are, calling the constables over is just to have them catch the thief.
There's a guy who looks like a thief being pinned to the ground, and the person pinning him down is the one who called them here. That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
This doctor, Yu, looked no different from an ordinary housewife, while the woman who was detaining the suspect looked heroic and valiant, so it's no wonder they mistook her for someone else.
As Yu Zhiyi was inwardly grumbling, a middle-aged constable stepped forward and bowed to her, saying, "Sir, may I ask what business you have with us?"
In a flash, Yu Zhiyi made up her mind and said calmly, "Take this heinous serial killer back to the Ministry of Justice."
This statement caused an uproar among the crowd.
The man raised his head mockingly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
In an instant, the fierce look turned into a weak, pitiful, and helpless fear: "I'm innocent!"
Old Zhang was also very shocked: "This young lady... no, this gentleman, is there some misunderstanding?"
He still couldn't quite accept that Steward Ma would want to kill him.
What's the point?
Those around couldn't help but whisper among themselves: "Women in official positions are really no good. How could they say he's a serial killer? With his thin and weak appearance, how could that be?!"
The constables remained motionless.
They were already dissatisfied with this newly appointed fifth-rank physician.
If the other party were a truly talented and accomplished celebrity, that would be fine, but instead, she turned out to be a notorious woman from the inner quarters.
They were parachuted in, and to give them such an absurd task right away?
They have brains too, okay?
That man was as thin as a bamboo pole, who could he kill?
Is it a baby?
Over the past century, the laws of the Great Sheng Empire have become increasingly comprehensive. Although some drawbacks still exist, overall, they have been able to guarantee human rights to a certain extent.
For example, if someone is imprisoned without evidence, it's fine if they are later proven guilty. However, if no evidence can be found and the person is released, they can easily sue the perpetrator.
The groom who was suddenly brought in is the prime minister's daughter-in-law. If it is discovered that this is a miscarriage of justice, she may not be affected, but those small fry who arrested him will be thrown out as scapegoats.
Therefore, no one wanted to take action.
Yu Zhiyi's expression turned cold: "Aren't you going to make a move? Do you intend to disobey orders?!"
The middle-aged constable coughed lightly, clasped his hands, and said, "It is like this, Your Excellency. The legal system of our Great Sheng Empire is very sound. To arrest someone, you must have an arrest warrant. Of course, if it is an arrest on a whim, it is not entirely impossible, but only a formally appointed official of the Ministry of Justice of the fifth rank or above can issue the order, or it must be clear that a certain person has indeed committed a crime or is currently committing a crime."
"But right now, none of the above conditions apply."
Yu Zhiyi's expression grew even colder.
This is another reason why she was determined to catch the thief red-handed.
She hasn't reported to the Ministry of Justice yet. Although she can use her token to summon people, she may not be able to mobilize them without clear evidence.
Although their disobedience was completely unreasonable.
"Taking down this man will earn you a third-class merit award. Are you sure you don't want to do it?"
The constables looked at each other in bewilderment.
They clearly followed the middle-aged constable's lead, and since the middle-aged constable made no move, the younger constables also did not take any action.
Yu Zhiyi: "Although I have not reported to the Ministry of Justice, I am still a fifth-rank official appointed by His Majesty, which fully meets the second condition you mentioned."
"When I go to the Ministry of Justice, I will definitely ask the Minister whether the constables of the Ministry of Justice have special privileges and can replace the Ministry of Justice's system and disrespect His Majesty's decrees!"
Since these people don't want to take action, they shouldn't come begging to her later.
The constables then panicked: "Sir Physician..."
Yu Zhiyi stopped looking at them and instead looked at Du Ziheng: "Tie him up and take him to the Ministry of Justice. I will submit a memorial to you requesting a reward."
Du Ziheng: "...There's no need to submit a memorial."
Seeing that the richly dressed young man was really going to tie him up, Steward Ma struggled violently: "I'm innocent! I didn't kill anyone! Even if you are high-ranking officials, you can't treat human life so lightly!"
Ordinary people would be afraid when they saw constables and officials.
But this Steward Ma was no ordinary person; he was a serial killer who had committed countless murders.
His mental fortitude is exceptionally strong, and his heart is exceptionally cold and hard.
In this situation, he can still turn the tables and try to exonerate himself.
As long as he isn't arrested and imprisoned today, he can find a way to escape and hide away in another place under an assumed name.
He has been hiding for ten years using this method.
He firmly believed that he could hide for another ten years without any problem.
Just as Du Ziheng was about to tie the person up, You Bingyue suddenly swung a palm at him. Du Ziheng: "? Bingyue, what are you doing?"
You Bingyue said coldly, "You do whatever that woman says? Have you been drugged by her?"
"Although this guy certainly doesn't look like a good person, there should at least be some evidence to prove he's a murderer, right?"
"Arresting people arbitrarily without evidence—if the laws of the Great Sheng Empire are like this, who will dare to believe that the law can bring them justice in the future?"
"I also have to suspect that this law has long since become a tool for some people to gain fame!"
Manager Ma: "?"
Although he didn't understand why the woman was speaking up for him, he naturally wouldn't contradict her at this moment. He immediately shouted, "This young lady is right. I didn't kill anyone. If you want to arrest me today, you're trying to force me to confess!"
"In ancient times, there was the injustice suffered by Dou E, which caused snow to fall in June; now, there is the injustice suffered by Ma Bocai, which will surely bring thunder in September!"
Yu Zhiyi flipped her wrist, revealing three copper coins lying quietly in her palm: "A thunderclap in September is nothing unusual."
"A villain as wicked as you is not even worthy of being compared to Dou E."
"Since you're not convinced, then I'll make you submit!"
