Chapter 86 Li Anning's Advice
When people just wake up, their minds are not very clear.
After Li Nuo fell into a deep sleep, he forgot that he was with Princess An Ning tonight and subconsciously thought that he was still in the Song Mansion. When he opened his eyes, he saw a woman in black clothes standing in front of his bed, staring at him.
This naturally brought back some bad memories for him, and he mistook her for an assassin.
But soon, he came to his senses, put down the quilt as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Has the murderer been caught?"
Li Anning said slowly: "You really knew he was the real murderer a long time ago."
Li Nuo asked with some lack of confidence: "If I say that I saw a bit of guilt in his eyes, would the princess believe it?"
Li Anning didn’t believe it before.
Now I believe it.
With the ironclad facts before her, she had to admit that there were geniuses in this world.
What she can't do, others can.
Li Nuo was completely sober. He glanced at the code and found that the portrait of the powerful man from Chu was not on it, but he was not in a hurry.
He was the one who provided the key information in this case. As long as the murderer is brought to justice, all the credit will be his, in every way.
And he certainly couldn't sleep until this man was judged.
This is the first high-level warrior he has captured. I wonder how much lifespan this can add to his lifespan, and whether he can use this opportunity to successfully enter the country.
He got off the bed, put on his shoes, and said to Li Anning, "Let's go see the murderer."
Li Anning rolled her eyes at him. If she hadn't been here to protect him, she would have gone there long ago.
Since she had promised the old man, she would definitely protect him.
The two left the room and soon arrived in front of the meeting hall.
Although it was already late at night, there were still many people watching the excitement outside the hall.
Li Nuo and Li An Ning stood outside the hall and saw a man with his hands and feet chained, kneeling in the middle of the hall.
The Chu State envoys surrounded them. One envoy pointed at him. He was so angry that his body was shaking. He cursed: "Guard Chen, I didn't expect it was you. It was you! The court treated you well, and Lord Shen is your good friend. Why did you do such a thing!"
It's nothing for a warrior to secretly learn one more skill, which can help him defeat the enemy by surprise at the critical moment.
But after the Chu envoy was killed, he deliberately concealed the matter, which made him highly suspicious.
Moreover, from beginning to end, he did not give any explanation.
Even if he makes a few excuses, they will try to believe him.
But he didn't.
"Mr. Chen, I misjudged you!"
"You are committing treason, treason, do you know that?"
"Killing Lord Shen will not do you any good. Did someone bribe you? Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
…
The man's hands and feet were bound with iron chains, but he remained calm despite the rebukes from the Chu envoys.
An envoy from the State of Chu walked up to an elegant man and said in a deep voice, "Sir Li, this is a matter of our State of Chu. Can you let us handle it ourselves?"
Li Xuanjing nodded and waved his hand, and everyone from Daxia left the hall.
A moment later, the Chu delegation also returned to their embassy.
The murderer who killed the Chu envoy was taken back by them.
In the Sifang Pavilion, the officials of Daxia finally put their minds at ease.
In any case, the murderer has been caught, and he is from their Chu State, so it cannot be blamed on Daxia.
Li Nuo, who was standing outside the hall, watched the man being taken away, feeling a little uneasy.
I don’t know how they will deal with this person. They won’t let him go easily. If he is not punished, his trip today will be in vain.
With a nervous mind, Li Nuo returned to the room he had just been in.
Although he had nothing to do next, it was already past midnight and late at night, so he couldn't go back and could only stay in Sifang Pavilion for one night.
He turned around, looked at Li Anning who had followed him in, and asked, "Your Highness, is there anything else?"
Li Anning walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said to Li Nuo: "Thank you for today."
If it weren't for Li Nuo, this case would probably have remained an unsolved case.
This case is not just a murder case. If it is not handled properly, it is likely to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Li Nuo said slowly: "If Your Highness really wants to thank me, just don't take over my cases in the future..."
Li An Ning did not give a direct answer, but said: "Your talent is wasted in the Chang'an County Office. Do you want to come to the Ministry of Justice and join me?"
In the practice of Legalism, one monk carries water to drink, two monks lift water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink.
The number of cases was limited, and he was the only one in the Chang'an County Court who amended the law, so all the credit went to him.
When he arrived at the Ministry of Justice, although there were more cases, there were also many people working on amending the laws, so he got even less.
Moreover, in the Chang'an County Government, whatever he said was the final word.
When he arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he could only be her younger brother, being ordered around by her and working like a slave.
A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for long?
So Li Nuo simply rejected her proposal.
…
Chu Embassy.
It was late at night, but no one in the Chu delegation went to sleep.
The man sat cross-legged on the ground. A middle-aged envoy slowly walked up to him and said, "Guard Chen, I know that you were also acting on orders. You have committed such a serious crime and should have been sentenced to death. But if you are willing to tell the truth and reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, I can go back and plead for you and spare your life..."
The man shook his head and said, "No need. I have failed in my mission and will die. Even if the court releases me, they will not let me stay."
"Failure?" The middle-aged envoy seemed to have grasped some factors and asked, "Didn't you successfully assassinate Lord Shen? Could it be that their target is not Lord Shen, but..."
The man was silent for a moment, looked at the middle-aged envoy, and spoke again: "Lord Wang, you are very smart, but sometimes, being smart is not a good thing. Yes, their target is not Lord Shen, his death is just a move they made..."
The middle-aged envoy asked: "Who...are they?"
The man took one last look at him and said, "I can't say any more. Some of the people standing here are from the same clan. We are friends, and I don't want to hurt you..."
After saying this, his head slowly drooped.
A figure quickly stepped forward, sniffed his breath, felt his pulse, turned around and said, "Sir Wang, Guard Chen has severed his own heart pulse."
The middle-aged envoy slowly sat back in his chair.
Death warrior.
The fourth level of assassins.
He was able to force a martial arts expert at the fourth level to sever his own heart meridians, yet he dared not reveal a single detail. The "they" he mentioned might be even more powerful than he imagined.
Inside the hall, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one knows who are “their” people in the delegation. These colleagues who usually drink and chat happily with them may also be like Guard Chen, ready to raise their knives to kill them at any time.
For a moment, everyone became wary and thought no one was a good person.
At the same time, in a room in another courtyard.
Li Anning had already left. Li Nuo had just laid down when he jumped up again.
The code was suspended quietly in the void before him.
Two hundred and fifty-four.
Li Nuo stared at the number intently.
A moment ago, the number was one hundred and fifty-four. When Li Nuo was distracted, the number increased by one hundred days.
He originally thought that if a warrior at the fourth level committed a capital crime, his life span could be extended by fifty days.
Unexpectedly, this number was twice what he expected.
Ten times that of an average person.
So, if a fifth-level Grandmaster committed a capital crime and he found out about it, even if he didn't sentence him personally, he would probably be able to increase his lifespan by two hundred or even three hundred days...
As for the sixth realm... I dare not even think about it.
The first thing Li Nuo wanted to do was to check if he had made a breakthrough.
But apart from the increase in lifespan, he didn't feel any changes in his body.
No way, even though my life span was increased by a hundred days, I still couldn’t enter the door of Legalism?
“Squeak…”
The window of Li Nuo's room was pushed open from the outside, and a figure jumped in from outside.
Li Nuo was suddenly startled, and only when he saw that the person coming was Li An Ning did he feel relieved.
Without his wife around, he really doesn't feel safe at all.
Li Anning came over and said, "That man has committed suicide."
Li Nuo was not surprised. Even if the murderer was caught, the sentencing would have to wait until tomorrow.
There is only one possibility for his life span to increase at this time, that is, the prisoner has died.
Thinking of something, he looked at Li An Ning and said, "I have a question about cultivation. Can I ask your Highness?"
Li Anning sat on a chair and said, "Ask."
Li Nuo said: "Half a month ago, I felt that I had hit a bottleneck. Why was it that even after solving this serious case, I still couldn't enter the country?"
Li Anning asked, "How long have you been practicing?"
Li Nuo said: "About a month."
Li Anning's eyes widened: "How much?"
Li Nuo said: "One month, what's wrong?"
"You've been practicing for half a month, and you've already encountered a bottleneck in entering the country?"
"Any questions?"
Compared with her who had practiced for five or six years to reach the fourth realm, he only took half a month to reach the bottleneck of the entry point, which was really not good enough.
Li Anning looked at him, shook his head, and said, "No problem."
Then, she asked, "How do you usually practice?"
Li Nuo said: "I haven't practiced much, I just tried cases and arrested people..."
Li Anning said: "Tell me more about arresting people..."
…
After listening to Li Nuo's story, Li An Ning's face showed enlightenment, and he said: "No wonder, the fastest way for the Legalists to practice is to cause trouble for those powerful officials and their families..."
Although she was a princess, it had to be said that Li Nuo did something she had always wanted to do but couldn't do.
She has no official position and is practicing in the Ministry of Justice, which is actually against both the law and reason.
But she is a princess, and all her royal brothers dote on her. As long as she doesn't do anything too excessive, the court will turn a blind eye.
But if she was like Li Nuo, who always caused trouble for the rich and powerful and the children of officials, the impeachment memorials from the rich and powerful and the officials would surely fly like snowflakes to the three provinces.
By then, due to pressure, she would definitely not be able to practice in the Ministry of Justice anymore.
No one has objected to Li Nuo doing this so far, simply because he has a powerful father.
Officials in the court were unwilling to offend Li Xuanjing, the Minister of the Dali Temple, because of these trivial matters.
It is not easy to meet a law practitioner. She looked at Li Nuo and comforted him, "You can't rush your practice. You practice so fast and your accumulation is insufficient, so it will be more difficult to break through the bottleneck. But don't worry too much. As long as you keep looking for trouble with those powerful officials, at most twice, you should be able to enter the country successfully. Before you enter the country, if the Ministry of Justice has any suitable cases, I will give them to you..."
