Chapter 27: Lin Fan: In All Of Yong’an City, When It Comes To The Law, I’m The Best At Reciting It
Jin Biao was dumbfounded.
Even his two subordinates were dumbfounded, not expecting their Brother Biao to be beaten by someone.
The surrounding vendors were dumbfounded.
They had never seen such a situation before.
That was Jin Biao, who committed all kinds of evil, was arrogant and domineering, and had deep backing—Master Biao.
Not to mention them being dumbfounded, even Lin Fan was dumbfounded. Wu Yong had been in an explosive state these past two days, like gunpowder that had been lit.
But this was good.
As a Public Security Bureau Constable, when out and about, he couldn’t just declare his identity himself. Having someone else say it for him invisibly seemed to elevate his status a bit.
“You, you dare hit me?”
Jin Biao came back to his senses and glared angrily at Wu Yong, but his gaze still lingered on Lin Fan. The constable uniform the other was wearing was just that of a commoner constable; the constables he knew were all official constables.
At this moment, he was furious.
No matter what master you are, a mere commoner constable dares to hit me, Jin Biao, on the street—you’re simply tired of living.
Seeing that Jin Biao was still very arrogant.
Lin Fan understood that the other hadn’t realized his underworld identity yet, so he could only suppress him with something else.
Clang!
In broad daylight, a gleaming blade was placed on Jin Biao’s shoulder. Instantly, Jin Biao, who had been full of fury with eyes blazing with anger, suddenly had eyes that became clear and foolish.
Lin Fan couldn’t be bothered with Jin Biao. His brothers had investigated thoroughly, stripping Jin Biao bare. A local ruffian, domineering in the market.
In the eyes of ordinary common people, this Jin Biao was even more terrifying than constables.
But in Lin Fan’s eyes, he was just a small-time punk, not worth bothering with. Even taking down Jin Biao wouldn’t count as much merit; it would only be public security performance. But what he wanted was to reshape the constables’ reputation.
He didn’t care about other constables’ reputations.
He absolutely would not allow his own reputation to be dragged into such stench.
Whoever dared to tarnish his reputation, he would deal with them.
Even the Heavenly King wouldn’t be spared.
Lin Fan looked at Madam Li. “What’s the situation? Tell me the whole process step by step.”
Madam Li, who had been in despair, saw that there really was a constable daring to act against Jin Biao and immediately recounted the entire incident in full detail. All the grievances she had suffered erupted at this moment.
After hearing the whole story.
Lin Fan said angrily: “You, Jin Biao, in broad daylight, you dare to molest a decent woman, openly extort on the street, and even encourage others to beat innocent common people. Good, good, you really have the guts of a dog.”
Jin Biao was deterred.
Looking at Lin Fan, then at the group of menacing guys behind him eyeing him like tigers.
Wait, who the hell is this guy?
If he’s a constable, then who are these vicious-eyed guys beside him who look like they want to tear him apart?
“I didn’t, I didn’t.” Jin Biao shouted loudly, refusing to admit it.
Lin Fan ignored him and said: “According to《statute》 market regulations, page five, line three: if a ruffian has long-term extorted stall owners, for stolen silver under one tael, caning sixty, and so on, with increasingly severe caning.”
“Madam Li, where is the stolen silver from this ruffian’s extortion?”
Facing Lin Fan’s question, Madam Li looked blankly at the three cooked flatbreads dropped on the ground nearby.
Lin Fan picked up a cooked flatbread and nodded. “Madam Li, how much is this cooked flatbread worth?”
“Replying to Sir, five coins.”
“Hm, less than one tael, caning sixty. The Public Security Bureau has the right to execute on the street to set an example.”
Lin Fan’s voice was loud and spread out. When it reached the common people’s ears, all the common people were shocked.
Huh?
He’s serious.
“I’m innocent, I’m innocent!” Jin Biao shouted, then suddenly his brain heated up as if he found a loophole, and he said loudly: “I didn’t extort long-term; she just 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 constable before her might be in cahoots with Jin Biao and wanted to get him off the hook. Thinking of this, she nodded her head in full agreement.
Jin Biao breathed a sigh of relief. Good grief, she actually wants to put me to death. As long as I, Jin Biao, regain my freedom, I’ll definitely take fierce revenge.
But soon.
With what Lin Fan said next, he was completely dumbfounded.
“Good, according to《statute》 theft, page fifteen, line six: if a ruffian openly demands property in broad daylight without using violence but with an arrogant attitude, it is treated as robbery. If the value of stolen goods is under five taels, caning one hundred.”
No, how the hell did you add forty more strokes to me.
This is clearly beating me to death.
But his crimes were far from over.
“According to《statute》 adultery regulations, page twenty, line one: for insulting a decent woman with filthy words, caning eighty. If publicly humiliating a woman causing damage to her reputation, caning one hundred, cangue for one month.”
“According to《statute》 regulations on commoners beating or inciting lowly people…”
At this time, the market was very quiet. The common people had their mouths open, their angry gazes dissipated, replaced by confusion. Looking at Lin Fan, who was eloquently reciting the law in detail, their brains were dumbfounded.
Couldn’t understand, completely couldn’t understand.
But it didn’t stop them from cheering.
Lin Fan cleared his throat a few times and said: “Multiple crimes, adding sin upon sin. Jin Biao, you’d better hope you haven’t committed any major crimes before, or you’re dead.”
Speaking of understanding the law.
He could proudly say that in the entire Yong’an County Town, besides the teacher at Qingfang Private School, no one knew the law by heart better than him.
This was the result of months of effort.
Reciting the law, I’m good at it.
At this time, Jin Biao’s expression was very dazed. He was truly dumbfounded by Lin Fan’s words. Having never been to school, he completely didn’t understand what he was saying.
But he knew he was in trouble.
Thinking of this.
Jin Biao stuck out his neck and roared: “You’re talking nonsense, I didn’t, you’re spouting nonsense, framing and slander, you…”
Slap!
“Shut up.” Lin Fan raised his hand for a slap, making the other’s mouth full of blood. “Seeing your utterly foolish eyes, I know you’re not just illiterate, but also ignorant of the law. The statutes are clearly recorded, every article fits perfectly. Forget it, no use telling you so much. Men, take him back later for a proper interrogation.”
The brothers instantly took down Jin Biao and his two subordinates.
Jin Biao struggled and roared angrily, “Let me go, let me go, I’m Fourth Master Qin’s man.”
Whether you’re Qin Si or Dog Si.
To Lin Fan at this moment, catch and deal with.
Lin Fan looked at the market common people and said: “Fellow villagers, I am Lin Fan of the Public Security Bureau. From now on, if you encounter any injustice, feel free to come to the Public Security Bureau to find me. I will surely seek justice for you.”
“Good, well said, Lord Lin.”
“A clear-sky magistrate.”
“Woo woo, finally a good man has come to seek justice for us.”
The market common people boiled over.
Excited.
A thousand words couldn’t express it.
Lin Fan waved his hand grandly and left in a grand procession, while the common people watched Lin Fan and the others’ departing figures.
At this time, Qian Tao, hidden in the crowd, said loudly: “Do you know who that was just now?”
The common people were confused.
Qian Tao raised his head proudly and said: “Don’t think that guy just now was just a commoner constable. His other reputation is very resounding—known as Master Lin, Master Lin of Loyalty Hall at Jili Wharf.”
“Swept eighteen men at Cui Jing Tower, publicly tied up Fierce Tiger Gang Second Young Master Sun Yaowei.”
Sun Yaowei: Nonsense, I was the one kowtowing; the one slapped was Chen Liang.
“And in Shantytown, one man with one stick beat Fierce Tiger Gang Hall Master Yuan Jiang screaming in agony. You’ve all heard of these deeds, right?”
After Qian Tao finished speaking.
The market common people were shocked beyond measure and came back to their senses.
“Ah! That was the renowned Master Lin just now?”
“Great, we’ve long heard Master Lin is upright. Now that Master Lin has become a Public Security Bureau Constable, good fortune has come for us common people.”
Seeing the common people discussing heatedly, Qian Tao nodded in satisfaction.
He quickly slipped away in the direction Brother Lin had left.
Jin Biao, Fourth Master Qin’s man?
Hah!
In front of Brother Lin, at most a small-time punk with some ability.
