Madam, protect me!
Chapter 311: Old Friend from Zhao State
Zhao Zhiyi left the embassy in a hurry.
It is not a trivial matter to wipe out an organization of hundreds of thieves.
In the future, the public security in the capital will be greatly improved.
Not to mention, Li Nuo told her that after catching these thieves, a thief-hunting department can be established to allow them to make meritorious contributions while serving their sentences. In this way, not only will the public security in the capital continue to improve, but also anti-theft talents can be sent to local prefectures.
Even for the emperor, this is a great achievement.
Unexpectedly, he has just been in Zhao for a few days and he has given them a big gift.
It seems that she did not invite the wrong person.
After this matter is over, he must be rewarded.
But now the most important thing is to deal with the matter of the robbers first.
Watching the Sixth Princess leave, Li Nuo walked back to the courtyard.
This operation was unexpectedly smooth.
From beginning to end, there were only him and Yiren.
Unlike last time, there were dozens of people cooperating with them to act together.
After catching the two envoys of the robbers, the next thing was very simple.
The two were stubborn at first, but after Li Nuo's special care, they honestly handed over the list of members of the Thief Sect.
The Zhao State Thief Sect, except for the leader, has a total of 713 members from top to bottom.
Their names, identities, and detailed addresses are all recorded in the book.
The Sixth Princess just needs to arrest people according to the book.
He only needs to wait for the result at the embassy.
Song Yiren walked into the room and looked at the two beds on the left and right, with a look of loss on her face.
The mission was over, and their husband-and-wife relationship was over.
It was okay when they didn't pretend to be husband and wife.
But after these few days, their relationship returned to the past. I always felt empty in my heart when I couldn't hear him call her my wife...
...
Last night was a sleepless night for many people in the capital of Zhao State.
After the night curfew, there were noises from every street and alley.
Many people woke up from their dreams and heard the huge noise outside the door. They thought there was a mutiny and closed the doors and windows tightly and sat there until dawn.
When they saw that it was quiet outside during the day, they dared to open the door to inquire about the news.
This inquiry led to an astonishing news.
Last night, the largest thief organization in the capital was destroyed. The government arrested more than 700 thieves and recovered countless stolen goods.
Those who had been robbed and reported to the government can go to the government to claim their property. Those who did not find their stolen goods can also receive corresponding compensation.
After hearing this news, countless people flocked to the county government.
Those who had lost things wanted to recover their losses, and those who had not lost things also wanted to fish in troubled waters.
In the palace, the morning court had just ended.
The court officials walked out of the hall and talked about it.
It was just the arrest of some thieves, which was not a big deal, but what was interesting was that the fourth prince was the one who did it.
Among the four regent princes, the fourth prince is the weakest and has never had a sense of existence. Even the more powerful counselors are not willing to join him.
In the past six months, the fourth prince has not made any outstanding achievements.
In today's morning court, he stole the limelight in front of the other three princes.
After destroying the thieves' organization, he also reported to His Majesty, allowing these thieves to make meritorious contributions while serving their sentences, helping local officials catch thieves, so as to improve public security and protect the property of the people.
This proposal was agreed by many ministers.
According to some envoys who returned from Daxia, Daxia is implementing this system, and the effect is remarkable. At the recent court meeting, when officials from all over Daxia reported on their work, the number of thefts in various states dropped to a very low number.
With Daxia's example in front, Zhao State only needs to follow suit.
His Majesty praised the Fourth Prince in front of all the officials and ordered him to be responsible for implementing this matter, which meant that the Fourth Prince had the opportunity to further expand his political achievements. The other three princes were envious of him...
After all, compared with distributing porridge and money, this was a real political achievement, and they didn't have to invest money themselves. Why didn't they think of it at the beginning...
...
After lunch, Li Nuo met Zhao Zhiyi again.
As soon as she walked into the courtyard of the embassy, she bowed to Li Nuo and said, "Thank you, Lord Li. My father has agreed to establish the Anti-Theft Department and named my brother to be in charge of this matter. Lord Li really helped us a lot this time..."
Li Nuo waved his hand and said, "Your Highness is polite. It's just a small matter."
Then he looked at Zhao Zhiyi and asked, "I don't know if Your Highness still remembers what I said yesterday..."
Li Nuo once told Zhao Zhiyi that he hoped he would use his seal on the verdicts of these thieves. Although this would not affect the increase in lifespan, the increase in cultivation would be greater.
There were more than 700 thieves. Even if there was only one more person, multiplied by 700, it would be a lot.
Zhao Zhiyi smiled and said, "Of course, my father asked my brother to deal with these thieves. If it is convenient for Lord Li, you can go to the Ministry of Justice with me now."
Li Nuo walked out of the embassy and got on a carriage with Zhao Zhiyi.
The carriage stopped at the Ministry of Justice of Zhao State. The two constables at the door obviously knew Zhao Zhiyi. They knelt down and said respectfully, "Meet the Sixth Princess..."
"No need to be polite."
Zhao Zhiyi nodded slightly to them and took Li Nuo into the Ministry of Justice.
Li Nuo stepped into the Ministry of Justice, thinking about his lifespan, and didn't see that, not far away on the street, an old man looked at his back with a stunned expression and wide eyes.
Next to him, a young girl pointed at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice and said, "Grandpa, it's that big brother!"
The old man gently extended his index finger and made a gesture of silence.
Looking at the direction where Li Nuo disappeared, he raised and lowered his right hand, raised and lowered it, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and flicked his fingers quickly a few times.
Then, the expression on his face gradually became dull.
Fifteen years.
It's been fifteen years.
More than a year has passed, and his lifespan has changed from only half a year at the beginning to fifteen years now.
Although fifteen years is still a bit short for his age, he has been calculating fortunes for more than a hundred years. There are fortunes that he can't calculate, but there has never been a different fortune every time.
Just as the fortune-teller was standing there in a daze, in a room of the Ministry of Justice, Li Nuo's face showed a look of surprise.
The laws of Zhao and Daxia are different for the crime of theft.
Daxia can sentence theft to a maximum of three years in prison plus three years of exile.
The maximum exile in Zhao is only two thousand miles, but their prison can be up to five years.
The people of the Dao Men are the elite among thieves. With the amount of theft, each of them is sentenced to the maximum sentence, two thousand miles plus five years in prison, which is seven days.
The high-ranking members of the Dao Men will be sentenced one to three levels higher.
As long as they are not redeemed with silver, they can be exempted from punishment by labor service and make meritorious contributions while serving their crimes, which will not affect the judgment of the code.
Li Nuo took a deep breath and stamped the last seal with force.
The portrait on the code flashed wildly, but as soon as it appeared, it turned into countless light spots and poured into his body.
Although the cultivation of the legal family has increased significantly, the power of the Dao Men has increased faster.
However, compared with the cultivation, Li Nuo is more concerned about life span.
On the cover of the Code, the speed of life extension is too fast to be seen by the naked eye. Only a few numbers are seen flashing wildly, six thousand, seven thousand, eight thousand, nine thousand, ten thousand...
The number finally stopped at 1251.
This time, his life extension was nearly four thousand five thousand, almost doubled.
Li Nuo finally realized that the Code had another most amazing effect.
Extending life.
The upper limit of his life is related to his cultivation.
As his cultivation improves, the upper limit of his life will get higher and higher.
When his cultivation is low, the Code is a death warrant.
But when his cultivation is getting higher and higher, the Code becomes an elixir of immortality.
A thief's sect and hundreds of thieves can increase his life by more than ten years. As long as he keeps investigating and judging cases, the speed of his life extension will definitely exceed the speed of consumption.
His current cultivation is still a long way from the peak of the fourth realm.
According to the current life estimate, the life limit of the fourth realm may have exceeded that of ordinary people.
It is hard to imagine how long he can live in the fifth and sixth realms.
Leaving Chang'an for more than ten days, I have increased my lifespan by more than ten years.
This trip to Zhao State is really worth it.
Li Nuo calmed down, clasped his fists to Zhao Zhiyi, and said, "Thank you, Sixth Princess."
Zhao Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome, this is what Lord Li deserves."
The two left the Ministry of Justice, got on the carriage, and went to the embassy.
Across the street, the fortune-teller put down his hand, a trace of a sad smile appeared on his face, and murmured: "Thirty years, thirty years, almost thirty years..."
The girl looked at him like this, her face showed panic, and she shook his shoulders suddenly, trembling: "Grandpa, Grandpa, what's wrong with you, don't scare me..."
