Madam, protect me!

Chapter 100 Rumors

When Li Nuo returned to Song's house, he found many people standing at the door of Song's house.

The eldest uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, and father-in-law were all there. Even the old lady was alarmed.

There was no way not to be alarmed. Yesterday he stabbed to death the eldest son of Marquis Yunyang, and also successfully poked a hole in the sky of Chang'an.

After learning the news, the entire Song Mansion had been awake all night since yesterday.

Li Nuo jumped off the carriage, and Song Yu stood behind the crowd, looking at him like a pilgrim.

He never thought that a small conflict at the beginning would develop into such an ending.

Li Yuan died, but his brother-in-law was fine and returned to the Song Mansion intact.

At this moment, the admiration for him in his heart had reached its peak.

It wasn't until Li Nuo and Song Jiaren returned to the Song Mansion that the tension and crisis that lingered in the Song Mansion for the whole night gradually subsided.

Song Yu followed Li Nuo into the small courtyard and said fearfully: "Yesterday, you and the beautiful woman were both away from home all night, which scared me to death..."

Li Nuo was slightly startled.

Madam, didn't you come back yesterday?

He couldn't help but think of the faint fragrance he smelled at the door when he left the county jail today.

If you just pass by, the scent won't last that long.

Could it be that she kept him in the cell all night yesterday?

Li Nuo glanced at Song Jiaren, but Song Jiaren didn't explain anything.

Although there were still several guards from the Fourth Realm standing guard outside, she didn't feel at ease if they didn't personally guard there.

After returning to the courtyard, Li Nuo sat at the stone table, his expression lost in thought.

After breaking through the situation, there were some fragments of vague memories in his mind.

Those were some unfamiliar fragments of memory.

Although most of these memories are just a small sky in the Li Mansion, boring, monotonous, and boring.

But there are also some things, or some people, that make people remember deeply.

The one who has the deepest memory is of course Butler Wu.

From childhood to adulthood, he has almost penetrated Li Nuo's entire memory.

In these memories, he always took the trouble to play some childish games with him, and sometimes looked at Li Nuo and sighed leisurely.

In these vague memories, there is not much about his father.

He was very busy when Li Nuo was very young, and it was no different from now. This may be one of the reasons why Li Nuo never got close to him.

Li Nuo looked down at the death-free gold medal in his hand.

Although there is not much communication between father and son, he can always appear at the most critical moment.

In his memory, another person with a special status was the beautiful sister who would coax him to sleep when there was thunder.

Li Nuo glanced into the room. His wife had never told him about this matter.

However, there is nothing surprising about this.

She didn't tell herself about the night she spent waiting outside the cell yesterday.

In addition, his clearest and last memory was that he was lying on the bed, and a black shadow appeared beside the bed and put his palm on his chest.

After that, Li Nuo knew nothing.

He vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a force entering his body through that palm.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the scene of the little maid stabbing him with a knife.

Li Nuo always thought that it was because his arrival replaced the original soul in this body.

Now it seems that the original Li Nuo was already dead before he came.

To be able to sneak into the heavily guarded Li Mansion without alerting anyone and kill the heavily protected son of the Minister of Dali Temple, the opponent's strength is probably incredible.

In just over a month, he had suffered countless assassinations.

To be able to successfully live to the age of eighteen has to be said to be a miracle.

Li Nuo picked up a teacup on the table and watched the teacup float above his palm.

The strength of the initial level of Legalism can be regarded as a little bit of self-protection. There is no need to worry about being shot from a distance while walking on the street, or being stabbed suddenly.

But compared with his father's powerful enemies, this strength is far from enough.

However, it was enough for Song Muer.

She stood in the yard and looked at this magical scene. She opened her mouth in surprise and asked curiously: "Brother Li Nuo, what kind of kung fu is this? It's so amazing!"

In fact, this is just looking at bluffing people. Those who don't know better think that he is a warrior in the realm of animal control.

In fact, it is just the most basic confinement ability of the first level of Legalism, which is far different from the material control level. It is not enough to deal with the six-year-old Mu'er, but it barely has some defensive power.

Just as Li Nuo was about to say something, he saw Song Muer flipping easily in the air, and after landing, she even did a beautiful split.

Now that she was smarter, she was worried that Song Ning'er would overhear the secret code, so she used this straightforward method.

Song Ning'er can eavesdrop on the secret code. This set of moves cannot be learned without a period of hard practice.

Li Nuo took out two apples from his arms, handed them to her, and said, "Two apples, one for you and Ning'er."

He brought the apples back from Prince Chun's Mansion. Although they were not the kind carefully cultivated by master farmers, they were also special varieties that could not be bought outside. They were sweet and juicy, so Li Nuo took two of them.

Song Ning'er said sweetly: "Thank you, brother Li Nuo."

She has learned the essence of pretending to be Song Muer.

Talk sweetly, be cute, smile more, and say thank you after others give her something.

Song Muer is just like this.

This time, she didn't show off to Song Muer.

Song Mu'er had been waiting for them to arrive for a long time last night and still hasn't gotten up yet.

She placed an apple on her bedside, took another apple, and ran to her own private courtyard.

After closing the courtyard door, Song Ning'er walked into a room and said to the woman in white sitting cross-legged on the bed: "Master sister, brother Li Nuo gave me an apple. Let's eat it together. The fruits brought back by brother Li Nuo are delicious. "

She easily broke the apple in half, handed the larger half to the woman with Mu Li, and kept the smaller half for herself.

Song Ning'er took a bite of the apple and asked, "Master, sister, they said that the heroine who saved brother Li Nuo was you, right?"

The woman looked at her through the curtain and asked, "Have you told them?"

Song Ning'er quickly shook her head: "No, my master and sister told me not to tell anyone, but I was obedient and didn't even tell my parents."

The woman in white took a bite of the apple, and some scenes from yesterday came to mind, and a strange color appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Although he obviously didn't have any cultivation, he was able to burst out with power close to the peak of the fourth realm in an instant, killing one of the Seven Evils of Tianshan instantly.

She has read all over the world of martial arts, but she has never seen such a magical technique.

Let alone the Seven Evils of Tianshan, if it were her, she would be seriously injured even if she was not prepared.

Who is Song Jiaren married to...

At this time, there was another courtyard in Song Mansion.

Li Nuo looked at Butler Wu and asked, "What kind of heroine?"

Butler Wu scratched his head and said: "A heroine wearing a cloak and a veil. Although I don't know what she looks like, but judging from her voice, she must be young. At that time, she walked out of the alley with the unconscious young master in her arms. The old slave thought she was an accomplice of the killer and started fighting with her..."

"Did you hurt someone?"

"This old slave has never been beaten..."

…

Butler Wu said with some embarrassment: "That girl is still in the fourth level of cultivation at a young age. Although her strength is inferior to that of the young lady, she is not something that an old slave like me can fight against..."

Boxing is afraid of young people, and if their cultivation levels are about the same, old guys like them may be able to deal with it for a while based on experience.

But when it comes to head-to-head competition, young people still have the upper hand.

He felt a little emotional and said: "The population of Daxia is ten million, and even a martial arts genius who is one in a million can still pick out a hundred. These people are all favored by God and can practice for ten years." In eight years, you can reach a state that others cannot achieve in a lifetime..."

Something else must have happened after Li Nuo fainted yesterday.

It's a pity that the heroine who had seen rough things on the road drifted away without even leaving a word after handing Li Nuo to Butler Wu.

When the matter is over, he brushes off his clothes and hides his body and name.

There are still many good people in this world...

…

On this day, the entire Chang'an, from the dignitaries to the common people, were paying attention to one thing.

The son of Marquis Yunyang was killed, and the people all applauded and cheered.

Most of the nobles in Chang'an have little contact with ordinary people, but Li Yuan, the eldest son of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, is different.

As early as half a year ago, he was pushed to the forefront of public opinion because of a human life case.

Although the matter ended later, it left a bad impression on him in the hearts of the people.

Not only the common people secretly applauded this kind of vicious criminal who committed such heinous crimes, but also some of the junior officials and nobles' children were secretly happy.

Compared with ordinary people, they suffered more losses at the hands of Li Yuan.

I thought that if the son of a first-class marquis was killed, the murderer would have to pay a heavy price even if his status was equally noble.

Unexpectedly, he was acquitted half a day later.

What happened in the main hall today gradually spread out as the court meeting ended.

The people did not know the deeper meaning behind this incident. They only knew that the bad guys were dead and the good guys were still alive.

It seems that the world is not that bad after all.

But in the upper circles, this matter has a completely different meaning.

Over the years, Li Xuanjing, the minister of Dali Temple, has caused countless bloody storms in Chang'an.

Not only were all the officials afraid of him, but even the high-ranking dignitaries were somewhat afraid of him.

Anyone who is the only son of such a powerful minister can be tyrannical in Chang'an, even more lawless than Li Yuan.

But for more than ten years, there has been no trace of his deeds in Chang'an.

However, these days are coming to an end soon.

Li Yuan's death not only meant that Marquis Yunyang had to find a son to inherit his title.

Another disciple of one of Chang'an's top dignitaries officially stepped from behind the scenes to the front of the stage with a simple stroke of his sword.

Li Nuo, the son of the minister of Dali Temple.

After being unknown for more than ten years, he made his debut and shocked Chang'an!

This case not only made Li Nuo famous in Chang'an, but also made the whole place popular.

Yuyin Pavilion.

The source of this incident was simply that Li Yuan wanted to take away a Le Ji from Yuyin Pavilion.

First of all, what is the identity of the young master of the Marquis House? Even if he is a low-income husband who is an entertainer but not a prostitute, it is not a loss if he leaves with Li Yuan.

Those familiar with Li Yuan's powerful disciples all know that Li Yuan has always been polite before fighting.

If Le Ji agreed immediately, she would most likely receive a generous reward afterwards.

But if she offended Li Yuan, not only would her innocence be preserved, but she might even be destroyed.

No one expected that it would be Li Yuan who died in the end.

This naturally made Yuyin Pavilion's reputation soar, and many powerful people also wanted to come and see what kind of place this "Yuyin Pavilion" was. Li Yuan was allowed to stay here, and the title of second waiting was given to others in vain.

For an ordinary music studio, it would take at least several years to acquire such a customer base.

As for Yuyin Pavilion, it only took three days.

In a room on the second floor of Yuyin Pavilion, a girl rushed in and said happily: "Sister Phoenix, all our musicians' time has been reserved for half a month, and there are still people who pay ten times the price to jump in. Now We made a lot of money!”

Compared to the excitement of the girl, the beautiful woman seemed very calm.

She was standing in front of the window, carefully pruning a white peony. After cutting off the excess branches and leaves, she placed it in a tall vase.

The girl walked forward slowly and said with a smile on her face: "Sister Phoenix, these flowers are so beautiful. Your flower arrangement skills are getting better and better!"

The beautiful woman put the vase of flowers on the cabinet nearby. The girl said again: "By the way, there was a fight between two young men downstairs just now over a musician, and a table was broken. Sister Nightingale asked me to ask. Asking you, how should we deal with it..."

The beautiful woman said: "If it's broken, break it. Yuyin Pavilion doesn't lack the money for a table. Let Nightingale be more polite to the guests. Her bad temper won't change even in Daxia."

After the girl ran away, a figure walked in slowly and said, "There are too many guests. I'm afraid this kind of thing will happen more often in the future. Some guests can't get an appointment with the musician, and they leave very unhappy."

The beautiful woman adjusted the position of the flower branches in the vase and said, "It doesn't matter. This situation cannot last forever. In a month at most, there will be fewer guests, and then you won't be so nervous."

Yuyin Pavilion's business is so good. Apart from them being behind it, the most important thing is Li Yuan's death.

The beautiful woman still can't believe that the elegant and easy-going young master actually dared to kill Li Yuan.

It's not like she has to do it herself.

When you are in a foreign country, you can no longer do things as unscrupulously as before.

She had never suffered such grievances before, and she was so angry that she couldn't sleep well for two nights.

I just bought some medicine to calm my nerves and help me sleep, when I heard that Li Yuan had died.

She slept very soundly last night.

Girl Yuanyang had a worried look on her face and said, "If Marquis Yunyang's son dies, will he be angry with us? We are new here and haven't established a firm foothold yet, but we can't beat the first-class Marquis..."

The beautiful woman had a thoughtful look on her face.

Yuanyang's worries are not unreasonable.

This type of music studio is actually a hugely profitable business. Every music studio that can gain a foothold in Chang'an must have a good background behind it, otherwise you will often encounter situations like Li Yuan's.

Chang'an is full of powerful people, and if a girl who has spent a lot of money to support her is forced to lose her virginity, all the early investment will be in vain.

But if you don't agree and are resented by those big shots, it will be difficult to drive safely.

In addition to the pressure from these people, some colleagues will also secretly hinder them.

Early this morning, there were already strange people wandering outside the music studio.

The greater the reputation of Yuyin Pavilion, the more dangerous the situation will be in the future.

It's time to find a strong backer for these weak women in the pavilion.

At this time, the girl just ran in again and said, "Sister Yuanyang, that Mr. Song is here to see you again!"

Miss Yuanyang smiled slightly and said, "Let Mr. Song wait for a moment, I will be there soon."

After a while, the beautiful woman looked at her leaving back with a thoughtful expression.

…

After returning to Song Mansion from the Criminal Department, Li Nuo didn't go out for three days.

Although he killed the killer, his body was also hollowed out and needed a period of training.

Regardless of this reason, there is no use for him to go out.

After killing Li Yuan, he could no longer go to the Chang'an County Government Office.

They pressed the imperial court's face to the ground and rubbed it again and again. Those people could not help themselves, and they would most likely target Magistrate Pei and the others.

It would be a bit impolite to go to Chang'an County Government to embarrass them.

The same is true for the Ministry of Punishment.

Blatantly disobeying the edict issued by the three provinces may intensify the conflict again and involve the princess.

He still has about 150 days left to live. If he can't handle the case, he will lose his regular daily supplement.

We can only place our hopes on Li Anning.

There are still many cases happening in Chang'an every month. With Li Anning's ability, there will definitely be some that cannot be solved. He only needs three murder cases every month to balance his expenses.

In the past three days, he only slept and read. Seeing his condition, several old gentlemen at Qingfeng Academy firmly refused to let him give lectures.

This morning, Mu'er wanted to go for a walk on the street. Li Nuo felt much better and just happened to go out with her to get some fresh air.

Of course, the lady is also by their side.

After coming here for so long, this is the first time that Li Nuo is so free.

He has been adapting to his state for the past three days. In two days, it will be time to prepare for the imperial examination.

Before going out, Li Nuo asked Butler Wu to prepare a bamboo hat for him.

He had already become a familiar face among the people before, and this time he had caused such a big incident. He couldn't go out without covering his face.

Facts have proved that his preparation was right.

Even after three days, the people of Chang'an were still discussing this matter.

"That man died well. Last winter, a beggar accidentally stained his clothes, and he broke his limbs and froze to death on the street."

"After so long, there is finally someone who dares to take action against those powerful people..."

"That's right, don't you see who killed him? The son of the Dali Temple Minister is as cruel as his father!"

"For such things, they really have to fight among themselves!"

"Even if it's an internal fight, it's to eliminate harm for the people. I heard that at the beginning, it was the son of Yunyang Hou who robbed the woman, and another young man saw injustice..."

The people's concept of right and wrong is still very simple.

Under the bamboo hat, Li Nuo showed a slight smile on his face.

At a tea stall on the side of the road, the people continued to discuss.

"I heard that the son of the Dali Temple Minister and Princess An Ning were in love with each other. At the court meeting, it was Princess An Ning who gave him one of her great achievements, which saved him from punishment..."

"No way, why did I hear that Miss Fenghuang of Yuyin Pavilion was actually the woman of that young master? Otherwise, how could he kill the eldest son of a first-class marquis for a small music hall?"

"It's not surprising that he went to the risk of his life for his beloved..."

"Princess An Ning's protection of her husband in the Golden Palace is also a good story."

"So is he better with Princess An Ning or Miss Fenghuang of Yuyin Pavilion?"

"Why do you have to choose one? Can't you have both? Being the princess's consort, secretly raising a few beauties outside, which consort in Daxia doesn't do this?"

"But I heard that he has a wife."

"So what if he has a wife? I heard that they are ready to divorce!"

...

Li Nuo's smile froze on his face.

No, where did these people get the wild news?

What about protecting the husband in the palace, what about being angry for the beauty, what about preparing for divorce!

Divorce is bullshit, his relationship with his wife is steadily improving, okay!

Li Nuo immediately turned his head and explained to Song Jiaren, who was standing next to Mu'er and listening with relish: "These are all rumors, don't believe them..."

A tea drinker heard his words, turned his head, and said dissatisfiedly: "What rumors, Princess An Ning's affairs were witnessed by the civil and military officials of the whole court. I heard that once, they stayed in the same room in Sifang Pavilion for a night. A man and a woman stayed together for a night. It is impossible that they were just chatting..."

Li Nuo testified that they were really just chatting!

Don't use their dirty thoughts to taint the pure friendship between him and the princess!

Another person also spoke up: "And that Phoenix girl, that day in Yuyin Pavilion, my friend saw with his own eyes that he stayed in Phoenix girl's room for a long time. When Phoenix girl came out, she changed her clothes..."

"Why did she change clothes?"

"Hehehe, of course I tore them up..."

"Tsk tsk..."

"The nobles are still good at playing..."

...

Song Muer looked up at Li Nuo and asked curiously: "Brother Li Nuo, did you play the clothes-tearing game?"
