Chapter 317: Secret Observation
Ever since that Yin-Yang master said that Yiren would break through to the Grandmaster level within this year, she has been practicing even more diligently.
Before Li Nuo went to bed yesterday, she was still practicing.
When he woke up in the morning, she had already gotten up and started a new day of practice.
In most cases, after a warrior reaches the peak of the fourth realm, it will take several years, or even longer, before he can hope to advance to the Grandmaster level.
Li Nuo sometimes thought that if the old man had not told her that she would be promoted to Grandmaster this year, she might not have worked so hard.
And precisely because she had such strong expectations in her heart and began to practice harder, she was able to advance to the Grandmaster level earlier.
I’m afraid even the Yin-Yang School itself cannot explain the relationship between these two.
Yin-Yang magic has been around for hundreds of years, but there is still no consensus among them on many issues.
At noon, the sixth princess came to the courtyard.
Zhao Zhiyi greeted Song Yiren who was practicing martial arts, then walked into the room and asked Li Nuo, "Master Li, are you free today?"
Li Nuo said: "Besides going to the academy for classes in the afternoon, there is nothing else to do."
Zhao Zhiyi said, "It's like this. The files sent by various states last year have not yet been reviewed by the Ministry of Justice. I know that Lord Li is good at solving cases. I wonder if Lord Li can help the Ministry of Justice to review them?"
Li Nuo smiled and said, "Of course."
Generally speaking, the Ministry of Justice should complete the review of local files by the end of the year. She must have deliberately kept last year's files until now.
Although the Sixth Princess asked for help, there was no doubt that she was doing others a favor in a tactful way.
It's comfortable to get along with such smart people.
The Ministry of Justice was not far from here. Seeing that Yiren was practicing martial arts very enthusiastically, Li Nuo did not let her accompany him, but went there with the Sixth Princess.
On the way to the Ministry of Justice, Li Nuo thought of something and looked at the Sixth Princess beside him and asked, "Your Highness, did that Yin-Yang family tell me how I should help the Fourth Prince?"
Zhao Zhiyi shook his head and said, "Master Gongsun just said that as long as we can find you, everything will be determined by God."
It's either fate or destiny...
Yin-Yang School are a group of people who teach riddles.
Li Nuo himself didn't know what he should do, but since she said so, he would just leave everything to fate.
Zhao Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "According to past practice, helping my brother establish a large number of political achievements is one aspect, but the more important point is to gain the support of some important officials in the court..."
Generally speaking, the prince with more outstanding political achievements means that they are more capable, better at employing people, and more suitable to inherit the throne.
But the fact is that the support of court officials is more important than political achievements.
Those important officials who truly have the final say will not easily take sides.
Even the princes who had been doing business in Zhao State for many years found it difficult to recruit one, let alone him, an envoy from another country who had just arrived in Zhao State for a few days.
When he was about to reach the Ministry of Justice, Li Nuo suddenly looked back.
Zhao Zhiyi looked back, but found nothing, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
There were people coming and going on the street. Li Nuo looked at them for a few times, then shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Just as the two entered the Ministry of Justice, in a teahouse across the street from the Ministry of Justice, the fortune teller looked at the skinny old man and asked, "How is it?"
The skinny old man said calmly: "This person still has nearly thirty years to live."
The fortune teller glanced at him. He now had nearly thirty years to live, but a few days ago, it was only fifteen years, and a year and a half ago, it was only half a year.
Not only that, his life span was sometimes longer and sometimes shorter, and it was different every time it was calculated. This is enough to show that fate is full of changes.
But unless the other party sees it with his own eyes, this old stubborn man won’t believe it.
He sat on the chair and said slowly, "Don't worry, wait until he comes out of the Ministry of Justice and then count again."
According to his observation, every time he came out of the Ministry of Justice, his life span would change.
Although his expression was calm, he was actually feeling doubtful in his heart at this moment.
He just calculated Li Nuo's cultivation level.
But his future, like that woman's, was also blank.
It's impossible that he will become a Dharma Saint in the future?
Out of curiosity, he also counted the Princess of Zhao who was beside Li Nuo.
What’s strange is that not only could he not calculate her lifespan, he couldn’t even calculate her cultivation level.
As a Yin-Yang master at the sixth level, he cannot predict the future cultivation of an ordinary person. If he tells others about it, he will become a laughing stock in the Yin-Yang world.
He didn't dare tell the old man beside him about this.
What if the other party can figure it out, wouldn't it make me appear incompetent?
However, this also made him dispel his previous views.
Being unable to calculate the other person’s cultivation level doesn’t mean that the other person is at the seventh level.
It’s impossible that all three of them will reach the seventh level in the future?
That's a saint, not cabbage.
It seems that the problem lies with myself.
Many of the ancestors of the Dongfang family began to doubt the Yin-Yang technique after reaching the sixth level, and eventually went insane and died. He felt that he might soon die too, and might really be ahead of the old man of the Nangong family...
…
Ministry of Justice.
Li Nuo and the Sixth Princess walked into the courtyard of the Ministry of Justice and saw many figures standing outside the court.
Inside the court, there was the sound of a gavel, probably a trial was underway.
As the two passed by the group of people and were about to enter a government office, Li Nuo looked back and said to Zhao Zhiyi beside him: "The murderer is the tall man standing in the corridor on the right. The woman with the biggest breasts in the crowd is his accomplice..."
Zhao Zhiyi glanced back, her red lips slightly parted.
He didn't even know what the case was, but he could identify the murderer just by taking a look when he passed by?
This scene shocked her even more than the time he solved the case at the Daxia Embassy.
After entering the government office, she said to Li Nuo, "Master Li, please wait a moment. I will be back soon."
Li Nuo waited for more than a quarter of an hour before Zhao Zhiyi stepped into the yamen again.
She looked at Li Nuo with shock and confusion.
After his reminder, she asked the people from the Ministry of Justice to arrest the two men immediately and interrogate them separately.
The two of them tried to argue at first, but the criminal police were experienced in interrogation and soon got the woman to admit that she had murdered her husband in collusion with her lover in order to seize the family property and put the blame on the thief who broke into the house...
She looked at Li Nuo, moved her lips, and asked, "How did Lord Li know that the murderer was them?"
Li Nuo said: "After investigating many cases, I naturally have a hunch about the murderer. The first time I saw them, I felt that they were not right."
Zhao Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I finally understand why they asked Lord Li to go to the embassy to solve the case..."
Witnessing this shocking scene, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have accumulated many old cases that have never been solved. I wonder if Lord Li has the confidence to solve them?"
If these old cases can be solved, it will undoubtedly be another outstanding political achievement.
Li Nuo nodded and said, "You can try."
Although it was an old case so long ago that the murderer could no longer be automatically detected, he could still do it manually.
Unless it is a case that has no clue at all, as long as there is a reasonable suspect, an old case can be solved.
When he was in Daxia, he actually also thought about solving old cases.
However, there were very few old cases in the Criminal Department of Daxia, and most of them had no clues. The rest of the cases were solved by the Dali Temple.
Before doing this, we have to deal with the files of the Ministry of Justice first.
The files of Zhao's Ministry of Justice were much smaller than those of Daxia.
The homicide rate is an order of magnitude lower than that of Daxia.
As a minister of Daxia, although these words were somewhat treasonous, it was generally recognized that the Emperor of Zhao was a wise ruler who worked hard to govern the country, while the Emperor of Daxia, An Ning's father, was a typical incompetent ruler...
He ignored state affairs for ten years, abandoned his country and his people, and pursued the illusory immortality. He was truly not afraid of the historian's pen.
Li Nuo finished processing these files in less than half a day.
He followed the convention to distinguish between files with problems and files without problems.
After finishing the last file, he put down his pen and stretched his body.
Zhao Zhiyi handed over a peeled apple and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Li."
Li Nuo took the apple and said, "You're welcome. I should be the one to thank the princess."
During this half day, not only did his cultivation level increase slightly, but his lifespan also increased by more than a hundred days.
Zhao Zhiyi was a princess and had been serving tea, water, paper and ink all the time. Li Nuo felt a little embarrassed.
Soon, the two men walked out of the Ministry of Justice.
In a teahouse opposite the Ministry of Justice, a skinny old man flicked his fingers, stood up from his chair, and frowned, "How could it be..."
In half a day, his life span increased by more than a hundred days.
The fortune teller looked at him and asked, "What else do you have to say this time?"
The skinny old man sat down slowly and said, "How do you know? This is not in fate. Maybe he encountered some opportunity."
The fortune teller said, "Why don't you just say that there is a Yin-Yang master of the sixth level in the Ministry of Justice, and you just transferred your life to him. What about encountering an opportunity? Do you believe this explanation?"
The skinny old man fell silent.
If a person's destiny changes, there must be a reason, and it is very likely that the Yin-Yang School has intervened.
This was the first time he had encountered someone whose life span had increased so much inexplicably...
This had a great impact on what he believed in all his life.
He had to get to the bottom of this.
Otherwise he will die with regrets.
He looked at the fortune teller and said, "Lend me a year of your life."
The fortune teller waved his hand and said decisively: "Don't even think about it!"
