Chapter 79 Li Anning [asking for monthly ticket]
There is really no trust between people anymore.
It was the first time they met and they didn't know each other, but she actually guessed that Li Nuo wanted to eat alone.
The point is, she guessed right.
Li Nuo thought that he had been flawless just now and didn't reveal even the slightest flaw. How did she see through that?
Although what she said hit the mark, Li Nuo certainly couldn't admit it directly, in case she was trying to trick him. Li Nuo looked confused and asked, "Ah, what do you mean by eating alone?"
The woman in black said, "If I leave, won't you have this case all to yourself?"
Li Nuo looked at her sincerely and asked, "Do you think I am that kind of person?"
The woman in black nodded and said, "Yes."
I have to say, she is really good at judging people.
The woman in black didn't say much, she just jumped on the carriage and said, "I haven't been to the Chang'an County Government Office yet, so it's a good opportunity for me to go with you guys."
Li Nuo said, "There's nothing interesting to see in Chang'an County Court."
The woman in black said, "Even if it's not pretty, I still want to see it."
Li Nuo insisted: "It's really ugly."
The woman in black ignored Li Nuo and looked directly at Butler Wu, saying, "Old man, what are you still standing there for? Drive the car..."
…
Li Nuo sat in the carriage and glanced at the woman in black opposite him.
She and my wife are two extremes. My wife is always quiet and she talks more than six-year-old Mu'er.
The woman in black leaned against the carriage and bowed to Li Nuo: "Li Anning."
She didn't expect that the other party had the same surname as her, but that was normal. Li was the surname of the country of Daxia, and the most populous people in the entire Daxia were those with the surname Li.
He also clasped his fists in return: "Li Nuo."
Li Anning asked curiously, "Are you really Li Xuanjing's son? Isn't Li Xuanjing's son a fool?"
Li Nuo glanced at her. It was obvious that this woman didn't pay attention to current affairs. What she said was all about the past month. Li Nuo lifted the car curtain to get some fresh air and said casually, "It's been cured."
Li Anning showed surprise on his face: "Can stupidity be cured?"
She looked Li Nuo up and down, and said in surprise: "Really? I can't see any difference at all. By the way, how did you think of practicing law? Would your father agree to your practicing law? And you are almost at the entry level. Do you have any secret to quickly improve your cultivation? And what did you see in the case just now? Tell me..."
Li Nuo was sitting in the carriage and felt like there were five hundred ducks quacking in his ears.
The space in the carriage was already narrow, and she kept chattering away. Li Nuo couldn't even get a word in. His head was about to explode from her noise.
At this moment, he missed his wife very much.
In the past, when they rode in the carriage, she never said a word during the whole journey.
After asking countless questions in a row, Li Anning finally got tired, leaned against the carriage, and asked, "Hey, I've said so much, why don't you say anything..."
Originally, there were few people in the Ministry of Justice who chatted with her. Everyone was very respectful to her and spoke with "yes" or "yes sir".
She finally got to know a new person, who was also a practitioner of law like her, so she couldn't wait to say out loud what she had been saying for a long time.
Li Nuo glanced at her, and she had to give him a chance to interrupt.
He did not answer any of the questions, but asked, "How did you think of practicing law? You are not an official, and you do not have the power to enforce the law. How did your cultivation level increase..."
Li Anning said, "I don't have a foundation in martial arts. Legalism increases strength the fastest, so I practice Legalism. The cases I investigate, the people I arrest, and the verdicts I write, even if I'm not an official, can still increase my cultivation..."
Just from a few sentences, Li Nuo could tell that she must have a strong background.
Being able to do the same job as herself in the Ministry of Justice is not something that a simple powerful person can do. Her surname is Li - the royal family of Daxia has the surname Li, so maybe she is really a member of the royal family.
Li Nuo asked again: "By the way, what is your current level of cultivation?"
Li Anning said: "Not high, I just broke through the fourth level last month."
Li Nuo was suddenly startled and his eyes widened: "Mr. Duo?"
He suspected that he had heard wrongly. This girl was about the same age as himself, how could she be at the fourth level of the Legalist school?
Although the difficulty of the first three realms of the legalist is average, it is enough for a seventh-rank county magistrate to practice for a lifetime. Unless he is the head of a department such as the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple that is specifically in charge of punishment, ordinary officials will never be able to reach the fourth realm in their lifetime.
Li Anning asked, "The fourth realm, what's wrong?"
What's so surprising about the fourth realm? In the Ministry of Justice, the Shangshu is at the fifth realm, the Vice Minister is at the fourth realm, and even the Langzhong is at the peak of the third realm. Her strength can only rank third in the Ministry of Justice.
"nothing……"
We are the same age, and both are practitioners, but he is at the fourth realm, while I am at the zeroth realm.
Li Nuo was hit hard, sighed, and asked again: "How long have you been practicing? How do you usually practice?"
Li An Ning did not hide his personal feelings and said, "I didn't practice much. I just reviewed and signed case files from various places in the Ministry of Justice. Every year, I beat to death a group of hooligans who bullied men and women, and solved a few murders in Chang'an every month. It took me about five or six years to reach the fourth level..."
This Li Nuo is indeed incomparable.
Others take five or six years to enter the realm, but she reached the fourth realm in five or six years.
It's a bit outrageous, but it's acceptable.
The first three realms of the Legalist are fine, but after the fourth realm, it becomes truly hellish. She has been in the fourth realm for five years, and may not be able to reach the fifth realm even after fifty years.
The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the country's prisons. All cases involving imprisonment or above in any region must be reviewed by the Ministry of Justice before they can be implemented. Officials in the Ministry of Justice who are lawmakers can gain a certain level of accomplishment simply by reviewing and signing.
Although the harvest from each piece is not much, the quantity is large, and accumulated over time, it is also a terrifying number...
As for the murder case...
Li Nuo suddenly raised his head and asked, "Are there many murders in Chang'an?"
He has been here for so long, and has only encountered two murder cases. One is still a mystery, and the other is being solved. How could there be as many as she said?
Li Anning nodded and said, "Yes, there are five or six cases every month, and more than ten cases at most. However, we don't always catch the criminals..."
Li Nuo was stunned and said, "With so many murders, how come I don't know about it?"
Li Anning was not surprised at all and said, "Of course you don't know. I have arranged people outside the Chang'an County Government Office. If anyone reports a murder, I will ask them to come to the Ministry of Justice..."
“…”
Li Nuo finally understood why she could tell at first glance that he wanted to eat alone.
This is to use the heart of a villain to take away the belly of a villain.
We are all birds of a feather, so not every guess can be correct.
No, Li Nuo is far worse than her.
He only ate alone once. She usually ate meat and didn't even leave him a sip of soup. She even took away his pot.
He really is worthy of being at the fourth level of Legalism. His heart is much darker than that of someone who has not even entered the realm yet.
Li Anning looked at Li Nuo and asked, "What did you see in the case just now? The old man clearly committed suicide. Do you suspect his son? That's impossible. His son was in the academy for seven days and didn't come home..."
Li Nuo shook his head: "You didn't see anything wrong even though you're in the fourth realm. How can I see anything when I haven't entered the country? I just want him to go to the county government to cancel his account as soon as possible and close the case as soon as possible. You really think too much..."
Li Anning glanced at her and didn't believe it at all.
She is also a practitioner of law, so they have some tacit understanding. She is not greedy for the increased cultivation level from this case.
What she cared about was, were there really some details in this case that she hadn't discovered?
The carriage soon arrived at the Chang'an County Government Office. County Lieutenant Wang and a group of witnesses were still on the way.
When Li Nuo arrived at the county government office, he went to the study of County Magistrate Pei in the back office to drink tea as if he was returning to his own home.
Before going to the rear yamen, he arranged for a constable to take Li An Ning to have a look around the county yamen.
He hoped that she would leave quickly after reading it and not delay his investigation.
Butler Wu walked into the room and whispered to Li Nuo, "Master, this Miss Li is not an ordinary person. You must not provoke her."
This was the first time Butler Wu had spoken such words to Li Nuo since he came into this world.
He didn't take the fifth-rank examiner seriously at all.
Pei Jun's father was a fourth-rank official in Jingzhao. When Li Nuo punished him, Steward Wu did not stop him.
Only Li Anning was specially nominated by him.
From this we can see that this girl's identity is really extraordinary.
Li Nuo asked curiously, "Who is she?"
Wu Guanjia said: "Princess An Ning, the youngest princess of the royal family, is deeply loved by the royal family, so she can be a lawmaker in the Ministry of Justice. If you provoke her, even His Royal Highness Prince Chun will find it difficult to protect you..."
Others may not know about this, but it is no secret to the bigwigs in Chang'an.
Li Nuo guessed that she might be a member of the royal family, but he didn't expect that she was actually a princess of the current dynasty.
However, Butler Wu's reminder was completely unnecessary.
Provoke her?
He really thinks highly of himself.
What is the other person's strength? What is his strength? What can he use to provoke him?
From the time we met until now, she has always been the one provoking me.
Butler Wu was very serious this time and emphasized again: "Master, I am telling the truth. Although the princes who are in charge of the country are constantly fighting overtly and covertly, they all dote on Princess An Ning very much. I can still deal with one or two princes, but if all the princes join forces to target you, you will be in great danger..."
Li Nuo asked speechlessly: "She is the princess of the dynasty and is also at the fourth level of the Legalist family. How do you think I can provoke her?"
Butler Wu said: "Princess An Ning looks innocent and easy to deceive. You must not deceive her feelings or body, otherwise, the royal family will not tolerate you, and the young lady will not tolerate you either..."
Li Nuo waved his hand and said, "I know, I know..."
There is still one more update today to make up for the 10,000 words. It will be updated at 11:50 pm, and it can be read together with the update in the early morning tomorrow for a more coherent look.
