Chapter 57: Reunion in Prison
On the first day Li Nuo traveled through time, he learned that the father of this new body was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, the President of the Supreme Court of Daxia, and the nemesis of criminals.
At that time, he naively believed that the assassinations against him were despicable retaliation by evil forces...
After all this time, it turns out that they are all righteous men.
He is the evil force.
Although he did nothing, who made him have such a father?
Li Nuo looked at Butler Wu and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Butler Wu looked bitter and for the first time did not answer Li Nuo's question.
But his silence has given the answer.
It was difficult for Li Nuo to describe his current mood.
At this moment, he seemed to understand the pain of Qiao Feng and Yang Guo.
Qiao Bang's ideology Bo Yuntian is devoted to serving his country, but he himself was born in an enemy country.
The hero of The Condor Heroes is a chivalrous man who helps the weak and fights against the strong, but his father is a traitor to his country.
Li Nuo wanted to uphold justice and punish evildoers, but his father was a great evildoer...
Damn, my mentality has collapsed...
The psychological gap is too big, his mind is in a mess and he needs to calm down.
Pei Zhe asked awkwardly: "Sir, this assassin..."
"Just keep it closed for now."
Li Nuo waved his hand, turned and walked outside.
Song Jiaren looked at the slightly lonely figure and followed him silently.
Butler Wu sighed, glared at the assassin with a murderous look, and immediately followed him.
The atmosphere in the court was extremely awkward.
Pei Zhe and the other three had never expected that things would turn out like this.
After an unknown amount of time, County Magistrate Zhang was the first to ask, "Master Pei, what should we do now?"
Pei Zhe shrugged and said, "What else can we do? Just leave it alone. Put him in jail and wait for punishment..."
Although assassinations on the streets of Chang'an were the responsibility of the Chang'an County Court, the identity of the person being assassinated was special. Before Li Nuo made a decision, all they could do was to detain the person first.
Soon, the man's hands and feet were chained and he was taken to the county jail.
The two jailers locked him in a cell and locked the door. One of the jailers looked at him coldly and said, "How dare you try to assassinate the young master? You'll die!"
The man didn't even look at them. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, as if he had accepted his fate.
At a certain moment, a surprised and happy voice suddenly came from the cell opposite: "Lin Xuan, is that you?"
Hearing this familiar voice, the man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at a figure in the cell opposite. After a moment of surprise, he also asked in surprise: "Miss, why are you here?"
The next moment, the surprise on his face turned into shock: "Miss, why are you here!"
The girl grabbed the bars of the cell and said, "I was arrested here for assassinating Li Xuanjing's son. How could you..."
The young man was stunned for a moment and said, "I was also arrested for assassinating that bastard..."
The girl was stunned at first, then her face showed tension and worry.
During these days in prison, she has thought it through.
Li Xuanjing is Li Xuanjing, Li Nuo is Li Nuo, Li Xuanjing is a traitor, and the young master is a good man. She should not be blinded by hatred and hurt innocent people.
She heard from the jailer everything Li Nuo did these days.
He and his father are two completely opposite people.
The young man said with regret: "It's a pity that I finally waited for the opportunity, but I still missed it. I failed to kill that bastard and avenge my master, mistress, and father..."
Didn’t succeed?
The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.
At this time, the young man continued to ask: "Miss, where have you been this year? I have been looking for you..."
The girl said, "Before our house was confiscated, my father had someone send me away. Later, someone found me and said they could help me get revenge. After that, they taught me a lot about assassination and helped me sneak into the Li Mansion..."
After listening to her story of the past year, the young man was very surprised and murmured, "That bastard didn't kill you..."
The girl moved her lips and said in a complicated tone: "That man's son is different from him. He is a good man..."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Miss, don't be deceived by his appearances. The evil things Li Xuanjing has done are not worth it even if his entire clan is executed. Does he think that by asking his son to pretend to do some good things, he can cover up all his previous crimes..."
As if shaken by the man's words, the cell fell into a brief silence.
At this time, outside the prison cell, in the courtyard of the county government office, Pei Zhe and the other two had very emotional expressions.
County Magistrate Zhang sighed and murmured, "Tell me, does the young master really not know about Lord Li's affairs?"
County Magistrate Wang said: "It seems that he really doesn't know..."
Forming cliques for personal gain, abusing power, being treacherous, taking bribes and bending the law, murdering loyal officials, and taking human life lightly, these words could not be more appropriate to describe Lord Li, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.
Everyone in Chang'an knew about this, except his son. It's really ironic.
Just as the three were talking in low voices, several figures walked in from outside.
Walking in front was a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament, and behind him were several figures in black.
Several people followed the middle-aged man quietly, with no expression on their faces, like eternal ice.
"Li Li Li... Lord Li!"
The moment they saw the middle-aged man, the three of them were shocked.
The county jail.
Seeing an old acquaintance again after a year is the happiest thing for Gu Yanran in recent days.
Lin Xuan's father is the security guard of the Gu family. Both father and son are loyal to the Gu family. They grew up together. Although they are not childhood sweethearts, they are good friends. Gu Yanran has never regarded him as a servant of the Gu family.
However, a year ago, her father was framed, and her parents, brother, and everyone in the Gu family, including Guardian Lin, were all killed by Li Xuanjing.
She and Lin Xuan were the only ones who survived by chance.
The young man leaned against the cold stone wall of the cell and said with great regret: "I'm sorry, young lady. It's my incompetence. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to avenge my father and Lord Gu..."
Gu Yanran lowered her head and was silent for a moment. Suddenly she remembered something and asked, "By the way, how did they deal with you in the end?"
Speaking of this, the man named Lin Xuan also showed a trace of doubt on his face, and shook his head and said: "I don't know, they just locked me up here, but even if I die, I can see the young lady before I die. In the underworld, I can also explain to Lord Gu."
Thinking of her own experience, Gu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Perhaps, you don't have to die. According to Daxia's laws, your crime is not punishable by death. At most, you will be sentenced to three years in prison and exiled three thousand miles away..."
She vaguely guessed that Li Nuo was a law-reformer.
If he is really practicing law, at least he will act in accordance with the law when it comes to decisions involving life and death, otherwise it will affect his practice.
In this way, Lin Xuan still has a way to survive.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then he said, "If I am lucky enough to survive, I must practice hard and strive to kill that bastard Li Xuanjing in the future to avenge Lord Gu and my father!"
"I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity..."
As soon as the man's voice fell, a voice suddenly came from the silent cell.
An elegant middle-aged man walked into the cell and slowly approached the two men.
The two looked at the middle-aged man and spoke at the same time.
"Li Xuanjing!"
"You bastard, I'll kill you!"
