Lin Fan: The Entire Yong'an City, Statutes, I Know Them Best

Jin Biao was stunned.

Even his two lackeys were stunned, never expecting their Boss Biao to be beaten.

The surrounding stall vendors were dumbfounded.

They had never seen anything like this before.

This was Jin Biao, Master Biao, who did all sorts of evil, was arrogant and overbearing, and had a deep background.

Let alone them being stunned, even Lin Fan was stunned. What was going on with Wu Yong these past two days? He was like a lit firecracker, constantly in a state of explosion.

But this was good.

As an officer of the Security Bureau, he couldn't reveal his identity when he went out. If someone took the initiative to reveal it for him, it seemed to indirectly elevate his status a bit.

"You, you dare to hit me?"

Jin Biao snapped back to his senses, glaring at Wu Yong, but his gaze still lingered on Lin Fan. The uniform Lin Fan was wearing was only that of a rookie officer; the officers he knew were all full-fledged ones.

At this moment, he was furious.

Who the hell do you think you are? A mere rookie officer dares to hit me, Jin Biao, on the street? You must be tired of living.

Seeing Jin Biao still acting so brazenly.

Lin Fan understood that the other party hadn't realized his connection to the underworld yet. It seemed he had to use something else to suppress him.

Clang!

In broad daylight, a gleaming blade was placed on Jin Biao's shoulder. Instantly, Jin Biao, who had been full of rage with anger in his eyes, suddenly had his eyes become clear and foolish.

Lin Fan couldn't be bothered with Jin Biao. His own subordinates had investigated thoroughly and had already stripped Jin Biao bare. He was just a hooligan who bullied people in the market.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Jin Biao was even more terrifying than the officers.

But in Lin Fan's eyes, he was just a petty thug. Lin Fan couldn't be bothered with him. Even arresting Jin Biao wouldn't count as much of a merit, only as security performance. But what he wanted to do was to restore the reputation of the officers.

He didn't care about the reputation of other officers.

He absolutely would not allow his own reputation to be tainted with such a foul stench.

Anyone who dared to ruin his reputation, he would deal with them.

Not even the King of Heaven could stop him.

Lin Fan looked at Madam Li. "What's going on? Tell me the entire process of what happened."

Madam Li, who had already despaired, saw that an officer actually dared to lay hands on Jin Biao and immediately recounted the entire incident, her grievances erupting at this moment.

After listening to the entire account.

Lin Fan angrily said, "Good for you, Jin Biao. In broad daylight, you dare to molest a respectable woman, extort money on the street, and even allow others to beat innocent citizens. Good, good, you truly have the audacity of a dog."

Jin Biao was intimidated.

He looked at Lin Fan, then at the group of menacing figures behind him.

No, wait. Who exactly is this guy?

If he's an officer, then who are all these fierce-looking individuals around him who look like they want to tear him to shreds?

"I didn't, I didn't," Jin Biao shouted, refusing to admit it even if it meant his death.

Lin Fan ignored him and said, "According to the 'Marketplace Regulations' in the Statutes, page five, line three: If a ruffian extorts stall owners for a long period, and the stolen silver is less than one tael, they shall be beaten sixty times. The punishment increases accordingly."

"Madam Li, where is the stolen silver from this ruffian's extortion?"

Facing Lin Fan's question, Madam Li looked confusedly at the three flatbreads that had fallen to the ground.

Lin Fan picked up the flatbreads and nodded. "Madam Li, what is the value of these flatbreads?"

"Reporting to sir, five copper coins."

"Hmm, less than one tael. Sixty strokes of the cane. The Security Bureau has the right to carry out the punishment on the spot as a warning to others."

Lin Fan's voice was loud, spreading to the ears of the common people. All the citizens were shocked.

Huh?

They're really going through with it.

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged!" Jin Biao cried out. Suddenly, his mind felt hot, and he seemed to have found a loophole. He shouted loudly, "I wasn't extorting for a long time. She only set up her stall today. This is my first offense."

Lin Fan frowned. "Madam Li, is what he says true?"

Hearing this, Madam Li's heart skipped a beat. She felt that the officer in front of her might be in cahoots with Jin Biao and trying to help him get acquitted. With this thought, she nodded in complete resignation.

Jin Biao breathed a sigh of relief. Good heavens, he actually wanted to kill me. As soon as I, Jin Biao, regain my freedom, I will retaliate fiercely.

But soon.

Following Lin Fan's next words, he was completely stunned.

"Good. According to the 'Theft and Robbery' section in the Statutes, page fifteen, line six: If a ruffian publicly demands property in broad daylight, without using violence but with a belligerent attitude, they shall be punished for robbery. If the value of the stolen goods is less than five taels, they shall be beaten one hundred times."

What the hell, why did you add forty more strokes to my punishment?

This was clearly trying to beat him to death.

But his crimes were far from over.

"According to the 'Crimes of Adultery' section in the Statutes, page twenty, line one, anyone who insults a respectable woman with vulgar language shall be beaten with eighty strokes. If a woman is publicly humiliated, causing damage to her reputation, she shall be beaten with one hundred strokes and wear a cangue for one month."

"According to the 'Freeborn and Bonded Fighting or Incitement' section in the Statutes..."

At this moment, the marketplace was quiet. The common folk, mouths agape, their angry gazes fading, replaced by confusion. They stared at Lin Fan, who was eloquently reciting the law, his words a torrent that left their minds reeling.

They couldn't understand. They didn't understand at all.

But that didn't stop them from cheering.

Lin Fan cleared his throat a few times and said, "Multiple crimes mean compounding the sentence. Jin Biao, you'd best hope you haven't committed any major crimes before, or you're as good as dead."

When it came to understanding the law, He could proudly declare that in the entire Yong'an County, no one, except for the Teacher at Qingfang Private School, knew the Statutes better than he did.

This was the result of several months of hard work.

Memorizing the law? I'm good at that.

Jin Biao's expression was blank. Lin Fan's words had truly stunned him. Having never studied, he had no idea what Lin Fan was talking about.

But he knew he was in trouble.

Thinking this, Jin Biao craned his neck and roared, "What nonsense are you spouting? I didn't do it! You're lying and framing me! You..."

Slap!

"Shut up," Lin Fan said, raising his hand and slapping Jin Biao so hard his mouth was full of blood. "Seeing your foolish expression, I know you're not just illiterate, but also ignorant of the law. The Statutes clearly state everything, point by point. Forget it, there's no use talking to you. Guards, take him back and interrogate him properly."

The brothers immediately apprehended Jin Biao and his two underlings.

Jin Biao struggled and roared, "Let me go! Let me go! I belong to Master Qin Four!"

Whether you're Qin Four or Dog Four, To Lin Fan at this moment, if he caught you, he dealt with you.

Lin Fan turned to the crowd in the marketplace and said, "Esteemed elders and fellow villagers, I am Lin Fan of the Security Bureau. From this day forward, if you encounter any injustice, feel free to come to the Security Bureau and find me. I will surely seek justice for you all."

"Great! Lord Lin speaks well!"

"A just and upright official!"

"Sob, sob, finally, we have a good person who will seek justice for us."

The common folk in the marketplace were in an uproar.

They were excited.

Words couldn't express their feelings.

Lin Fan waved his hand and departed grandly, while the villagers watched the backs of Lin Fan and his group as they left.

At this moment, Qian Tao, who had been hiding in the crowd, shouted, "Do you know who that was just now?"

The villagers looked confused.

Qian Tao puffed out his chest proudly, "Don't think that was just some Rookie Officer. His other reputation is very well-known. He's called Master Lin, Master Lin of the Loyalty Hall's Jili Pier."

"He swept through eighteen men at Cui Jing Tower and publicly slapped the second young master of the Fierce Tiger Gang, Sun Yaowei."

Sun Yaowei: Nonsense! I was the one who kowtowed. The one who got slapped was Chen Liang.

"And in the shantytown, he beat the Fierce Tiger Gang's Hall Master Yuan Jiang so badly with a single stick that he screamed in agony. You must have heard of these deeds, right?"

After Qian Tao finished speaking, The common folk in the marketplace were greatly astonished and snapped back to reality.

"Ah! That was the renowned Master Lin just now?"

"Wonderful! We've long heard that Master Lin is upright. Now that Master Lin has become an officer in the Security Bureau, our good fortune has arrived."

Seeing the villagers discussing him animatedly, Qian Tao nodded with satisfaction.

He decisively scurried in the direction Brother Lin had left.

Jin Biao, Master Qin Four's man?

Heh!

In front of Brother Lin, he was at most a little punk with some minor abilities.
