Chapter 150: Confusing...
Ministry of Justice.
Li Anning leaned back in his chair with a distressed look on his face.
Li Nuo sat opposite her, turning the paperweight on the table out of boredom.
It was not his purpose to punish a few ruffians.
It has no deterrent effect.
It also doesn't increase your cultivation or lifespan much.
He thought for a moment, looked at Li An Ning, and asked, "There should be more than just these few hooligans in Chang'an. Why didn't the Ministry of Justice care about it before?"
Li Anning glanced at him and said calmly, "Do you think they are just bullies and hooligans?"
In order to deter scoundrels, the Ministry of Justice would execute a group of street bullies who bullied men and women with sticks every year.
But there is no way to catch all these people.
Especially some of them are simply kept by the powerful and wealthy, just to help them do some shady things.
Li Anning had also thought about getting rid of them all before.
But the result was that the powerful people in the court made it almost impossible for her to stay in the Ministry of Justice.
Although this princess has a noble status.
But in the court, he had little say at all.
Li Nuo didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
Li Nuo gave Li An Ning a look and said, "Follow me."
Li Anning asked doubtfully: "Where are we going?"
Li Nuo said: "I will guide you in cultivation..."
Li Anning was bullied in the past because she had never met him.
This time, I will do whatever it takes to get back at her expense.
After a while, Li An Ning stood in front of the Dali Temple and asked Li Nuo, "Why did you bring me here?"
Li Nuo said: "Just follow me and you will know."
The two men walked into the Dali Temple and saw Prince Chun sitting on the steps in front of a government office, looking a little bored.
"Uncle Chun."
"Royal brother."
The two walked over, and Prince Chun looked up and asked in surprise: "Li Nuo, An Ning, why are you here?"
Li Nuo said, "We have something to ask father, why is Uncle Chun Wang sitting here?"
Prince Chun held an exquisite soup bowl in his arms, which was wrapped tightly in his robe. He stood up and said, "I'm here to bring some soup to your father. He always doesn't eat on time, and his health must not be damaged..."
Li Anning asked: "Then why don't you go in?"
Prince Chun said, "He is busy with official business. I will wait for him for a while."
A moment later, two officials from the Dali Temple walked out of the yamen.
Li Nuo and the other two then walked in.
Prince Chun took out the bowl of soup and said, "This soup has been simmered for several hours. Drink it while it's hot."
Li Xuanjing put down the file in his hand, pushed the soup bowl in front of Li Nuo, and said, "I'm not thirsty, you and the princess can drink it."
The whole bowl of soup eventually went into the stomachs of Li Nuo and Li An Ning.
Prince Chun moved his lips but ultimately said nothing.
Li Xuanjing asked straight to the point: "What's the matter with coming to the Dali Temple this time?"
Li Nuo said: "I have a friend who opened a shop in Chang'an. He was recently harassed by some thugs..."
Li Xuanjing asked: "Friend?"
Li Nuo added: "Good friends."
Li Anning rolled his eyes.
Li Xuanjing asked: "And then?"
Li Nuo said: "Princess An Ning and I feel that we should properly discipline these lawless scoundrels and give the people peace and tranquility, but the power of the Ministry of Justice may not be enough..."
Li Xuanjing nodded, picked up the pen, and wrote a few words on a piece of paper.
Not long after, Li Nuo and Li Anning left Dali Temple.
Li Anning was holding a handwritten letter in his hand.
This is a notice about punishing the ruffians and bullies in Chang'an, issued by the Dali Temple, the highest court of Daxia, and stamped with the seal of the Dali Temple Chief Justice. They have the power to mobilize all the personnel in the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Chang'an County Government.
Li Anning was very emotional.
It is really convenient for a lawmaker to have a father who is the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.
This time, she benefited from Li Nuo again.
Dali Temple, inside the yamen.
Prince Chun touched his chin and said, "Li Nuo and An Ning are very close..."
Li Xuanjing picked up the teacup and said nothing. Prince Chun looked at the empty soup bowl on the table and said, "It's a pity that this soup is so useless. The famous chef in the palace spent a lot of effort to make it. I will send you another one tomorrow..."
…
The incident at Yuyin Pavilion was full of twists and turns.
People thought that the Ministry of Justice had arrested a few hooligans who had caused trouble in Yuyin Pavilion and punished them at the entrance of Yuyin Pavilion, and the matter was over.
It was not until the next day, when people from the Chang'an County Government, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple were arresting people all over the city, that they realized that this incident seemed to have just begun.
Some small gangs whose main members were hooligans were all thrown into jail.
Not even one of those idle rascals was spared.
This time, it was the Dali Temple that directly ordered a special operation against these evil forces.
A few hooligans were causing trouble in Yuyin Pavilion.
The next day, the Dali Temple issued an order to clear out the ruffians in Chang'an.
Even a fool can see the reason behind this.
From now on, if anyone dares to say that Miss Fenghuang and Li Nuo are innocent, no one will believe a word they say.
The imperial court has always turned a blind eye to these ruffians.
Because there are many complicated interests involved behind them.
This time, because of the mistakes of just a few people, the entire hooligan industry suffered a huge blow.
Even the powerful people behind them were implicated.
Ministry of Justice.
Li Nuo walked into the yamen and sighed, "Ransom, another ransom..."
Originally, we had followed the clues of those hooligans and found some children of powerful people.
But there is no way to sentence them to actual prison time.
This kind of thing can at most be considered as disturbing social order. According to the laws of Daxia, the maximum sentence is imprisonment plus exile, not the death penalty.
For these powerful people, as long as the crime is not punishable by death, they can settle it with money.
Li Anning has long been accustomed to this. She has encountered too many such things in the past few years of practice.
Li Nuo just felt a little regretful, but in fact, he gained a lot from this operation.
All the lifespan lost over the past month has been made up.
Not only that, but there is plenty to spare.
However, now that the thieves have been caught and the ruffians have been eliminated, it will not be so easy to increase your lifespan by so much again.
When I came to Yuyin Pavilion again, there were a lot of people gathered at the entrance of Yuyin Pavilion.
The two women knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
"Sister Nightingale, we are wrong. Please let us meet Sister Phoenix!"
"We are the ones who have been bewitched. Please, forgive us!"
…
Nightingale looked at them coldly and said, "Yuyin Pavilion has been so good to you. I never thought that you would betray us at the critical moment. You should go to your Lelai Building and Tianyin Courtyard. Yuyin Pavilion is too small to accommodate the two of you..."
The women in Yuyin Pavilion looked at the two men with anger on their faces.
Yuyin Pavilion spent a huge amount of money to make them the most beautiful courtesans, but unexpectedly, when Yuyin Pavilion encountered difficulties, they went to their competitors without hesitation.
Now that you know that Yuyin Pavilion is not easy to deal with, and you want to come back, how can such a good thing happen?
The two women were filled with shame and could only leave with their heads down.
Not long.
Tianyinyuan.
A plump woman looked at the courtesan who had just been recruited from Yuyin Pavilion, waved her hand, and said, "Forget it, since they don't want you, from now on, you belong to Tianyin Court. It's not like we didn't pay for you when we bought you..."
As one of the largest music troupes in Chang'an, Tianyinyuan is as famous as Lelai Tower. It has an extremely powerful backer and does not care about a small Yuyin Pavilion at all.
But if it is not necessary, they are still unwilling to provoke Li Xuanjing.
However, I believe that Li Xuanjing would not cause trouble for Tianyinyuan for such a trivial matter.
"yes."
The woman responded respectfully and returned to her small building. When she closed the door, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Lelai Building.
The middle-aged woman thought so too.
She waved her hand at the courtesan in Yuyin Pavilion and said, "Alright, go back to your room. If you don't want to, then don't. Isn't there a better future here than in the small Yuyin Pavilion?"
She took the initiative to return the courtesans who were poached from Yuyin Pavilion to them, and did not even ask them to return the money. Bearing the loss herself was the lowest she could do.
This is also bowing to that person.
Even the people behind her were unwilling to offend Li Xuanjing's son.
But what she couldn't understand was that if the higher-ups were so afraid of Li Xuanjing's son, why did they let her poach the courtesan from Yuyin Pavilion, and ordered her to personally force the Pavilion Master to buy Yuyin Pavilion at a low price...
But the above thoughts were not something she could ask.
She returned to her room with a heart full of doubts.
After closing the door and turning around, her expression changed slightly. She looked at the figure sitting at the table and asked, "Who are you?"
The masked man looked at her and smiled, "The one who sent you on your way."
The middle-aged woman's face changed drastically.
She wanted to turn around and open the door, but found that she couldn't open the bolt at all.
The entire door was tightly locked by a force.
The fourth realm, the opponent is a strong man in the fourth realm!
She turned pale and spoke in a trembling voice.
"etc!"
"Do we have any grudge against each other?"
"Who sent you here, Yuyin Pavilion or Tianyin Court?"
"However much silver they give you, I can give you double!"
"Please, I'll give you as much silver as you want!"
…
But no matter how she begged, the masked man never responded.
When the rope was tightened around her neck and her vision gradually fell into darkness, the middle-aged woman finally realized something and squeezed out the last words from her throat: "After so...many years, it turns out that you never...planned to...let me go!"
