Chapter 89 Fighting Evil with Evil
The beautiful woman covered her face, but when she saw someone walking into Yuyin Pavilion, she still walked forward, forced a smile on her face, and said, "Sir, Yuyin Pavilion is closed today. Please come back another day."
Li Nuo looked at the bloodshot at the corner of the woman's lips, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her, pointed to the corner of his mouth and said, "Unused."
The woman realized something, took the handkerchief, wiped the corner of her lips, saw the blood on the handkerchief, held the handkerchief in her palm, bowed slightly, and said: "Thank you, sir, but Yuyin Pavilion has something to do today, so we really can't receive you, you should leave quickly."
Li Nuo smiled slightly and said, "That's why I came here."
In the beautiful woman's puzzled and surprised eyes, Li Nuo looked at the noble man and asked, "You are Li Yuan, right?"
The nobleman had already lost his patience and asked impatiently, "Who are you?"
Li Nuo said calmly, "I am just a kind-hearted person who sees injustice. You beat others in public and molested a decent woman. Do you still have the law in your eyes?"
The nobleman was amused by this man and couldn't help laughing twice. He asked, "Can you tell me about the law?"
His followers on both sides also laughed when they heard this.
Only an old man behind him didn't laugh.
His eyes were always on an old man behind the young man.
Although the other party did not reveal any of his cultivation, his warrior's intuition told him that he was no simple person, and this young man was not just a kind-hearted person who saw injustice.
Yuyin Pavilion's current troubles were still unknown, and the sudden appearance of this young man gave her even more headaches. She didn't want to implicate innocent people, so the beautiful woman walked up to Li Nuo and said anxiously, "Sir, you'd better leave quickly. Next time you come to Yuyin Pavilion, I'll treat you to music for free..."
"Make way, make way!"
At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly appeared from behind, and more than ten figures entered one after another. County Lieutenant Wang took the lead and walked to Li Nuo's side, saying respectfully, "Sir."
The sudden appearance of the official and his respectful attitude towards the man made the mocking look on the young master's face freeze and his expression turned into suspicion.
This person doesn't seem like a kind-hearted person who sees injustice...
It seems like he came here specifically to cause trouble.
Although he knew almost all the people in Chang'an's upper circles whom he couldn't afford to offend, he still clasped his fists to the man for the sake of caution and said, "My name is Li Yuan, and my father is the Marquis of Yunyang. May I ask who you are?"
When you meet someone you don’t know, you should introduce yourself first. This is the tacit understanding and etiquette in the circle of power and influence.
After reporting their identities, we found out who the other party was and who they were affiliated with, so as to avoid the flood that would wash away the Dragon King Temple.
More importantly, once you know the other party's background, you will know whether you can afford to provoke him.
Especially since the other party knew his name but he knew nothing about him, Li Yuan felt a little unsure.
Li Nuo also clasped his fists and replied, "I am just a kind-hearted person who sees injustice. My name is not worth mentioning. You have beaten others many times, molested decent women in public, and disregarded the law. Come with me to the county government office."
He looked at County Lieutenant Wang and said, "Take him away."
County Captain Wang looked at Li Nuo and almost burst into tears.
He shouldn't have come!
That's Marquis Yunyang, a first-class marquis. How dare he arrest his son?
One of them is the son of the Supreme Court Minister, and the other is the son of a first-class marquis. They are the sons of two of the most powerful and influential people in Chang'an. Why would they make things difficult for a small county lieutenant like him?
It’s better not to be this crappy official!
At this time, a guard behind Li Yuan came up and whispered something in Li Yuan's ear.
Li Yuan's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
He is actually the son of Li Xuanjing, the Minister of Dali Temple. No wonder he dares to stand up for Yuyin Pavilion.
Although Li Xuanjing, the Minister of Dali Temple, was not a noble of Daxia, no one dared to look down on him. If it was not necessary, Li Yuan really did not want to offend his son.
As for the words "powerful and noble", the Li family is not "noble", but they have "power".
The person in front of him was definitely one of the most powerful young men in Da Xia. Li Yuan should have known him, but this treacherous son used to be a fool and rarely went out, so he had no way of knowing him.
The first time Li Yuan heard about his deeds was half a month ago.
That was because someone tried to assassinate him. Li Xuanjing beat the assassin to death in public and was impeached by all the officials in the court. When his father left the court, he lamented that Prince Chun was too protective of Li Xuanjing. He overheard a few words...
He smiled, clasped his fists again, and said, "So you are Lord Li's son. I am so sorry for your disrespect..."
At this time, Song Yu and the other two also rushed to Yuyin Pavilion. Song Yu trotted in, grabbed Li Nuo's arm, and said, "Brother-in-law, forget it..."
Li Yuan looked at Song Yu and the other two, then at Li Nuo. He seemed to understand something, and regret appeared on his face. He patted his thigh, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know the relationship between you and Brother Li. How about this? I'll host a banquet at Tianxiang Tower tonight and apologize to the three of you. What do you think?"
The three of them were beaten so badly that Song Yu would certainly feel uncomfortable if they just apologized.
But Li Yuan is of high status. Since he has already bowed his head, if they still hold on to him, it would seem that they don’t know what is good for them.
Song Yu wanted to say something, but Li Nuo just looked at him, and he shut his mouth and stood behind him obediently.
Li Nuo glanced at the timid County Captain Wang and the several constables who were about to retreat to the door, and had no intention of making things difficult for them.
There were four other detectives standing behind him all the time.
They were all his guards and had just become constables in the county government.
Constables are not considered officials and do not need to take the imperial examination. They are all recruited by the government and used as soon as they are enrolled. For Li Nuo, it is more convenient to have his own people to work with.
Li Nuo looked at them and said again: "Take them away."
Li Yuan put away the smile on his face, looked at Li Nuo with a gloomy face, and asked: "I have no grudge against you, do you really have to do this?"
Li Nuo looked at him and said, "You are a grown man, but you actually attacked a weak woman who was powerless. In broad daylight, you even forcibly took off her clothes. You disregarded the laws of Daxia. I think any righteous person would not stand idly by."
After these words were spoken, all the women in Yuyin Pavilion had their beautiful eyes shining with surprise.
The beautiful woman also looked at Li Nuo again, then stood quietly behind him without saying a word.
Li Yuan looked at Li Nuo and said in a deep voice, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. That Miss Yuanyang was specifically requested by His Royal Highness Prince Ji. Are you still going to stop her?"
When the beautiful woman heard this, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
She never imagined that the person who fell in love with Yuanyang was actually a prince!
"King Ji?"
This incident also surprised Li Nuo. He turned to look at Butler Wu, who gave him a smile.
Got it.
Affordable.
Li Nuo looked at Li Yuan again and said, "Your Highness Prince Ji is the prince of the current dynasty. How could he do such a thing as forcibly seizing a commoner's girl? You said, was Prince Ji instructing you to do this?"
"I……"
Li Yuan moved his lips, but of course he didn't dare to say this.
He simply sat back in the chair, crossed one leg, and said, "I was the one who beat the man, and I wanted to rob the decent girl, so what do you think?"
In Li Nuo's two lifetimes, this was the first time he had seen such an arrogant person.
He glanced at Li Yuan calmly and said, "You have injured people many times and molested and insulted a decent woman in public, which has a bad influence. I will sentence you to 100 strokes of the cane and two years of imprisonment for multiple crimes. Isn't that too much?"
"Not excessive." Li Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Although the sentence is heavy, it is within the scope permitted by the law. You are worthy of being the son of the Dali Temple Minister. You have used the Daxia law to the extreme, but..."
He changed the subject and said with a smile: "My father is a marquis of the first rank in the dynasty, and I am the eldest son of the marquisate. For crimes below the death penalty, I can use the redemption sentence, which is 100 strokes of the cane, two years of imprisonment, and a total fine of 300 taels of silver..."
Bang!
He slapped a banknote on the table and said, "Here is five hundred taels. No need to give me the change. The extra two hundred taels are the wine money for my apology to the three brothers."
Arrogant.
It’s really too arrogant.
Song Yu, Zhou Yu and the other two blushed when they heard this, but they could only sulk.
At this moment, they truly realized how disgusting redemption of sentence was.
When they used silver to atone for their sins, they didn't think it was a big deal.
But when they become victims and watch others being punished, the feeling is completely different.
Looking at Li Yuan's hateful face, they wanted to rush up and punch him a few times.
But it's just something I can think about.
Redemption of punishment is also the law of Daxia. No one can stop the powerful from using redemption of punishment, otherwise it would be resisting the law.
Li Xuanjing, the Minister of Dali Temple, is very powerful. Even with his immense power, he has to wait until others have used up their redemption sentences before finding other excuses to exterminate their entire family.
Li Nuo looked at this guy's arrogant look and really wanted to punch him a few times.
These days, relying on his father's power, he has been successful in trying and judging cases, and everyone has to give him face.
Today was the first time he suffered a setback.
The key point is that he was familiar with the laws of Daxia and knew that what this guy said was absolutely right.
Damn it, I’m so angry!
Li Yuan felt so relieved when he saw Li Nuo's angry expression.
He didn't want to offend Li Xuanjing's son only because he didn't want to offend him, not because he couldn't afford to offend him.
So what if Li Xuanjing has all the power in the court? He cannot control the Yunyang Marquis Mansion.
How about it, are you angry?
Li Nuo was really angry and wanted to beat this guy up himself, and then he realized something.
Huh?
That's not right!
His father was a third-rank official of the current dynasty, on the same level as Marquis Yunyang, so he had the same privileges as Li Yuan.
He can also use it to redeem a sentence.
Bang!
He did it as soon as he said it. Although his cultivation was gone, the martial arts experience of this powerful man of the fourth level of Chu State had not yet expired. Li Nuo's punch was so fast that Li Yuan could not react at all.
When he realized something and wanted to resist in anger, he found himself sitting in the chair and unable to move.
Just as several followers behind Li Yuan were about to make a move, they were pressed to the ground by an invisible force and could not move. The old man was about to take action when his expression suddenly changed.
Four old men in gray appeared beside the old man opposite at some point.
He felt a strong pressure from those four people.
If he takes action, the other party will certainly take action as well.
Looking at Li Yuan who was being beaten, he sighed and could only stand there, motionless.
Li Nuo and Butler Wu had such a tacit understanding that even though Li Yuan was a warrior in the Body Shaping Realm, he dared to take the first step. Sure enough, Li Yuan just sat there motionless, allowing him to beat him to his heart's content.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that every time he slapped, the bottleneck in his body loosened a little, so he became more and more excited, and more and more skilled he became.
Song Yu, Zhou Yu and Pei Jun watched this scene and felt extremely angry.
Song Yu was even more moved. Although Li Nuo was not his biological brother-in-law, he was closer to him than his biological father. He was very sure that even if he was his father, he would not let him vent his anger like this.
That is to say, he is a man. If he were a woman, he would have probably thrown himself into her arms long ago.
When the women of Yuyin Pavilion saw this scene, they clenched their fists excitedly and looked at the figure with admiration and adoration.
Although violence is not advisable, this young man is very handsome and has a unique charm when he beats people.
The beautiful woman stood behind Li Nuo and watched him slap Li Yuan wildly. She seemed to feel a little better.
When she looked at him again, there was a different kind of brilliance in her beautiful eyes...
