Chapter 217 Practice Makes You Really Know

The Great Zhou made very detailed distinctions between violations of law and crimes, while other countries mixed up violations of law and crimes.

It is illegal and what is violated is civil law and public security management law.

Crime is a violation of criminal law.

"But if you drink and deliberately try to get rid of the alcohol, what's the point of drinking?"

"I didn't ask you to get over the effects of alcohol, but you shouldn't take advantage of it to act crazy!" The Minister of Justice corrected Du Ping's idea. "Also, have you flown under the influence of alcohol again recently?"

"Yes, according to the regulations, I violated Article 165 of the Public Security Administration Law and will be detained for 15 days. When do you plan to lock me up?" Du Ping knew the Public Security Administration Law by heart and had an extraordinary understanding of the law. Moreover, he was more familiar with the cells of Da Zhou than any other prison boss.

Some prison bosses who were eager to learn even went to Du Ping to ask him about legal issues and prison management.

The Great Zhou Dynasty forbids flying without digesting the effects of alcohol, as this can easily lead to the cultivator losing control of the body while flying and falling to the ground.

It might hit someone.

Du Ping often violated this rule and was very familiar with it.

"It has been changed now. His Majesty feels that this behavior is too bad, so he changed the prohibition of flying under the influence from a public security law to a criminal law. In other words, you are not breaking the law, but committing a crime. According to the regulations, you need to be imprisoned for six months."

Du Ping was stunned: "When was it changed?"

"It was promulgated on the first day of last month and implemented on the first day of this month. You flew after drinking on the second day. If it weren't for your shocked expression, I would have thought you were committing a crime." The Minister of Justice told the truth.

"I just like drinking, not committing crimes!"

"Huh, who knows?"

Jiang Li thought that five hundred years had passed and Du Ping should have behaved himself. But now it seemed that this great monk who had tested the law had made the same mistakes over and over again and had never changed.

This shows how strong his willpower is.

The Minister of Justice was also very troubled by Du Ping. The fact that a cultivator in the fusion stage was punished obediently could certainly prove that before the laws of the Great Zhou, cultivators were equal to mortals, but it was not good for you to be in and out of jail all the time.

Treating the prison as one's home does not reflect the punitive nature of the law at all, and where does it put the reputation of the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

The greatest achievement of the Minister of Justice was punishing monks in the fusion stage hundreds of times.

His biggest stain was that he punished the same monk in the fusion stage hundreds of times.

The Minister of Justice even wanted Du Ping to leave the Great Zhou.

Please let our Ministry of Justice take a break.

Du Ping rejected the request of the Minister of Justice and said firmly, I am a member of the Great Zhou when I am alive and a ghost of the Great Zhou when I die. It is impossible for me to leave!

Da Zhou is my home, I love Da Zhou.

Du Ping violated every law of public security, from soliciting prostitution to gambling to street fighting.

The Minister of Justice simply couldn't believe that a cultivator in the fusion stage would suppress his cultivation level and fight with gangsters after drinking.

As a fellow cultivator in the fusion stage, I feel ashamed for you.

The Minister of Justice felt that Du Ping was a disgrace to the cultivators in the fusion stage.

The Minister of Justice also proposed to Ji Zhi to enact a new law called the Du Ping Law to specifically punish Du Ping, but Ji Zhi rejected the proposal on the grounds that there was no law specifically for one person.

Now Du Ping no longer violates the public security management law and begins to advance to criminal law.

I beg God to send someone to take away this evildoer.

"Du Ping?" Jiang Li appeared.

"Jiang, Jiang the Emperor?" Du Ping was overjoyed to see Jiang Li, as if he had seen his boss.

As cultivators in Jiuzhou, all of them aim to become the Human Emperor. If they cannot become the Human Emperor, joining the Human Emperor Palace is also what many cultivators yearn for.

Du Ping is no exception.

"Human Emperor." The Minister of Justice saluted Jiang Li.

The Minister of Justice was Ji Zhi's confidant, and he was present many times when Jiang Li went to see Ji Zhi.

"Are these the crimes you committed?" Jiang Li walked to three piles of case files as high as a person, flipped through them casually, and felt that Du Ping's life could be described in one sentence.

He practiced hard in the first half of his life, only to spend a few more years in prison in the second half.

The Minister of Justice reminded Jiang Li: "There are only one and a half stacks of Du Ping's case files from five hundred years ago."

"You have violated the law quite a few times." Jiang Li sighed.

"This shows that I abide by the law," Du Ping explained.

Jiang Li was speechless. Indeed, Du Ping was always punished after breaking the law. Punishment was also part of the law. It could be said that he was law-abiding.

"Your case is mostly caused by alcohol."

"I am practicing a technique related to alcohol. I cannot practice without alcohol."

Du Ping's problem is actually not that big. Among the cultivators in the fusion stage, he can be considered to have decent conduct.

It’s not that people who have committed minor offenses are unacceptable. For example, the two commanders Ma and Zhuo had been arrested once in Dayong for selling unhealthy books.

If they lived in the Great Zhou, they would have been sent to prison less often than Du Ping.

But Jiang Li still wanted a normal cultivator in the fusion stage.

He felt that among the cultivators above the fusion stage in the Human Emperor Palace, only he and Commander Liu were normal.

"If you can stay away from committing crimes after drinking, you can join the Human Emperor Palace." Jiang Li said with a little relief, "Within fifty years, you have no new criminal record."

Du Ping gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Fifty years is not a long time for a cultivator in the fusion stage. At most he can just go into seclusion for fifty years!

"The fifty years of seclusion do not count." Jiang Li reminded.

The Minister of Justice said: "The Emperor is worrying too much. Even if Du Ping is in seclusion, he can still drink alcohol and break the law. You can look through Volume 127 of the Du Ping volume."

Jiang Li found the case file mentioned by the Minister of Justice, which said that Du Ping had an alcohol addiction attack while in seclusion, and he sleepwalked out of seclusion, his mind traveled thousands of miles, came to the tavern to drink, then left and continued his seclusion without paying any spirit stones.

That jar of wine was not valuable enough to be considered criminal under the law, otherwise the Minister of Justice would have punished him for theft.

Although it does not constitute the crime of theft, there is an act of theft, so it is punished according to the public security management law.

“…”

Jiang Li felt that Du Ping would never be able to leave the prison in his lifetime.

After Jiang Li left, Du Ping leaned over to write a letter. The Minister of Justice asked curiously, "What are you writing?"

"I think there are some areas in the Great Zhou laws that need to be revised. The punishment for flying under the influence is too harsh and does not conform to the principle of consistency between crime and punishment. I wrote to the court to give my opinion and suggest that it be changed to probation or a reduction in the sentence."

The Great Zhou welcomes people to offer opinions and suggestions on the laws.

The Minister of Justice was speechless. He had been breaking the law for hundreds of years, which led to his deep understanding of the law. He wrote to the court many times, pointing out the errors in the law.

The Great Zhou wanted to present him with a banner to commend his contribution to the law.

"Here, it's written." Du Ping handed the letter to the Minister of Personnel.

The letter was ten thousand words long. The Minister of Justice read it through and found it to be written in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. It made sense both from the perspective of the four-element theory and the three-tier theory.

He felt that Du Ping's understanding of the law was deep-rooted. If one didn't know, one would think that this was written by a monk majoring in law from the Great Zhou Imperial Academy.

What is this? What you learn from books is always shallow. You must practice it to know it?

Practice makes perfect?
