Madam, protect me!

The increase of more than three times in life span puzzled Li Nuo.

But when I think about it, it’s not surprising. The prisoners he arrested before were all ordinary people with no background, and they didn’t even have basic martial arts training. Wang Yue was not only the son of a high-ranking official in the imperial court, but also a second-level warrior himself. , if the previous prisoners were little monsters, Wang Yue could be considered a little boss.

The difficulty of trying him is much greater than that of the previous prisoners, so it is reasonable to give him more experience.

This is similar to the practice of Legalism.

The higher the status and the more noble the status of the prisoners tried by the Legalists, the faster their cultivation will increase. When the strong Legalists reach the end of their cultivation, the trial of ordinary people can no longer bring them any increase in strength, and they will all focus on All the ministers of the court.

Li Nuo had a small guess.

An ordinary person is sentenced to three years in prison, which can only increase his life by three days, while the rod punishment is not added and needs to be accumulated by multiple people.

Wang Yue is a warrior in the second realm. With a three-year sentence plus a hundred sticks, his life span has been increased by eleven days, which is more than three times the three-year sentence. Will the life span increased by the code be based on the prisoner's strength and strength? In terms of status calculation, there is no bonus for ordinary people. The first level will be doubled, the second level will be tripled, the third level will be quadrupled, and so on...

Calculated this way, the seventh realm can be doubled eight times.

Sentencing an ordinary person to death can only increase his life span by ten days.

If the rules of life extension are really like this, if a strong man in the seventh realm is sentenced to death, his life span can be increased by 80 days, nearly three months. This may seem like a lot, but in fact the effort and reward are completely disproportionate.

The seventh realm is already the realm of saints. Who can arrest and sentence saints?

Not to mention the seventh realm, the sixth realm is impossible.

With this kind of existence, one person is comparable to a small army.

Even in the fifth realm, they are behemoths that dominate one side. There must be a powerful force behind them, and they can easily override the secular world and the law. However, all this is just Li Nuo's speculation at the moment. How the life span is increased will only be known if these powerful people are actually captured.

Even so, this is still good news for Li Nuo.

Who wouldn't want double, triple, or even four times or five times higher score cards? If he could catch a few fourth-level murderers and gain a few more months of life, he would be able to breathe a little easier and not have to worry about it every day. So hard.

I have been busy all day and didn’t have time to eat anything. When I was judging the case, I didn’t feel anything. Now that I have some free time, I feel tired and hungry. Fortunately, when I got home, the food was ready. Li Nuo Just cooking rice, I think the rice tastes better than usual.

We had dinner with Song Jiaren, but the two of them had nothing to say.

Li Nuo was not in the mood to talk. He was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He was mechanically picking food into his mouth. His eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and the movements of his hands were getting slower and slower...

After a while, Song Jiaren looked at Li Nuo who was lying on the dining table with a few grains of rice still hanging on his face, but his nose was breathing evenly. She shook her head slightly, got up and walked over to help him remove the rice grains from his face. grains of rice, then picked him up, walked out of the dining room, and walked slowly into a small courtyard...

In Li Nuo's room, Song Jiaren put him on the bed. She just raised her hand gently and his shoes and socks were automatically taken off and placed neatly on the floor. The folded brocade quilt was also opened by itself and covered gently. On Li Nuo.

Song Jiaren stood by the bed, looked at it quietly for a while, then turned and left.

As the door creaked shut, the room returned to calm again.

At this time, there was no peace among some high-ranking sects in Chang'an.

In the evening, in front of the Chang'an County Yamen, the common people made a lot of noise, which alerted some officials and dignitaries living nearby. After they asked the servants of the government to go out and inquire, they soon learned the ins and outs of the matter.

The son of a doctor who took the exam was arrested by the Chang'an County government for violating the law. In front of countless people in Chang'an, he was beaten with a hundred sticks and sentenced to three years in prison.

The official position of the fifth grade is not too high, but it is not low either. According to the laws of Daxia, officials of this grade not only commit crimes themselves, but can use money or official positions to pay for them. His immediate family members are also guilty of "exile". The following sins can also be paid for with redemption money.

It was just a three-year prison sentence, which was a matter of three hundred taels of silver. To the Wang family, three hundred taels of silver was nothing at all.

However, Wang Duo did not choose to use money to pay for his son's crime. Instead, he killed his relatives out of justice and personally sent his only son to the Chang'an County Government and allowed the government to decline, leaving many people confused.

Not only that, some well-informed officials even learned from the grapevine that after Wang Duo returned from the Chang'an County government office, he immediately sold the Wang family's shops, properties, houses, etc. in Chang'an at a low price, and also reported it to the official department overnight. The minister handed over the certificate, resigned and returned to his hometown. Before leaving, he donated all his family property to the national treasury...

This is even more puzzling.

Although the official position of the doctor in the examination is not very high, the power in his hands is really not small. Wang Duo is an upright and healthy man. He has climbed to this position with great difficulty. There is the possibility of further advancement in the future. Why would he resign for no reason? , even if you want to resign, you don’t have to sell your property at a low price and donate it...

Countless people were confused by his behavior.

"Wang Langzhong is fine, what are you doing?"

"It's such a small thing, isn't it?"

"There must be a reason for this!"

"Tan, Tan again!"

Not long after, someone finally got more inside information.

However, this inside story is even more shocking.

"What, Li Xuanjing's people did it?"

"I understand, Wang Duo is a member of Prince Rui, and Prince Rui's family has just suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Xuanjing. Many officials have been arrested. This time it seems that it is Wang Duo's turn. This case is just a pretext. …”

"Prince Chun is going to completely defeat Prince Rui's line!"

"It was not the Dali Temple that took action this time, but the Chang'an County Government. Could it be that the new Chang'an County Magistrate has already taken refuge with Li Xuanjing and Prince Chun?"

"It's needless to say, otherwise he, a small magistrate of Chang'an County, can offend the doctor of the exam department and Prince Rui?"

"No wonder Wang Duo resigned and donated money to save his life..."

"This new Chang'an order should not be underestimated!"

"Oh, then Li Xuanjing's men have another dog..."

…

The resignation of the doctor who took the exam caused a small-scale storm in the upper-class circles of Chang'an.

On the surface, this seems to be just a small case, but secretly it is a confrontation between two princes.

Because King Chun has the powerful arm of Li Xuanjing, he has unique advantages in some aspects. Among the other prince factions, those officials who are clean and self-sufficient are fine. Once they misbehave and are caught by Li Xuanjing, it will be difficult for them to end well.

The examination doctor was dragged down by his son, which also sounded the alarm for other officials.

I don’t know how many officials woke up their children and heirs at home late at night, giving them thousands of exhortations, asking them to take Wang Yue’s incident as a warning.

Others who had ulterior motives also immediately thought of how to calm the situation, whether it was a warning or compensation, but the trouble could not be brought to light.

At this time, Li Mansion.

It's late at night, and candlelight is flickering in a study somewhere in the house.

Butler Wu stood in front of the table and said: "...Later, Wang Duo personally tied up his son and brought him. The young master gave him a hundred strokes at the Chang'an County Yamen Gate in front of the people and sentenced him to three years in prison... …”

After saying that, he asked tentatively: "Later, the old servant remembered that Wang Duo seemed to be from Prince Rui. Will this offend Prince Rui even more and cause trouble for the master?"

The elegant middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said: "It doesn't matter, King Rui hates me to the core. One more Wang Duo is not much, and one less Wang Duo is not much."

Butler Wu thought for a while and then said: "Prince Rui suffered such a big loss at the hands of the master some time ago, so he must have a grudge. The last time the young master was assassinated, could it be that Prince Rui was behind it? The old slave asked the woman Assassin, but she doesn’t know anything. Maybe she is hiding something. Should she use some more methods..."

Li Xuanjing waved his hand and said: "If it is really King Rui, he will not leave any traces, so there is no need to do anything unnecessary."

Then, he asked: "What did the young master do today?"

Speaking of the young master, Butler Wu said helplessly: "The young master went to the county office early in the morning and came back at dusk. In order to judge the case, he spent all his sleep and food. According to Lao Nu, he is determined to practice Legalism..."

The young master's determination to practice law is far greater than he imagined.

If this continues, the final result will be either that the young master kills his relatives out of righteousness, or that the master cleans up the family...

What a crime!

Li Xuanjing just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If he wants to fix it, let him fix it."

It wasn't until Butler Wu left the room that he slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed softly, his tone full of regret: "Wang Duo..."
