Madam, protect me!

Boom!

As Song Jiaren held the dagger, a mountain-like pressure came from the air.

The peddler's legs softened, and the whole person was pressed to the ground by an invisible force. He used all his strength, but he couldn't even lift his head.

Song Jiaren looked indifferent and threw the dagger with a rolled blade on the ground.

Wu Guanjia walked forward with a dark face, waved his hand, and two figures suddenly jumped out of the crowd and held the peddler down.

Being assassinated in the street, Li Nuo was not angry, and even wanted to laugh.

After waiting for a long time, the assassin finally came again.

According to the laws of Daxia, assassination, especially assassination in the streets with a surging crowd, has extremely bad social impact, and the crime is much more serious than the general crime of wounding.

Even if he didn't suffer any injuries, he could be sentenced to three years of imprisonment and exile for three thousand miles.

If Li Nuo scratched his skin and saw blood, the assassin would be hanged.

Article 258 of the Daxia Law: Anyone who murders shall be sentenced to three years in prison; those who have injured shall be strangled; those who have killed shall be beheaded.

According to this sentence, the female assassin should be sentenced to hanging even if she was not a servant of the Li family.

Li Nuo did not understand the Daxia law at the beginning. Under Pei Zhe's deliberate guidance, he convicted her of wounding rather than murder. Of course, he could not be sentenced to more than two years, but he is not a rookie who has just arrived. He will not be fooled by the old man Pei County Magistrate.

The peddler has been controlled, and he still looks at Li Nuo with resentment, gritting his teeth and saying: "You bastard, your whole family will not die well!"

Bang!

Wu Guanjia slapped him with anger, and several bloody teeth flew out. The peddler's face swelled up immediately. Although he stopped talking, the resentment in his eyes deepened.

Wu Guanjia looked at Li Nuo and asked, "Master, how do we deal with him?"

Li Nuo said without hesitation, "Send him to the county government office."

The two guards took the assassin away first. Li Nuo looked at the frightened Song Muer and said to Song Jiaren, "Madam, I'm going to the county government office. You can send Muer back first."

Song Jiaren nodded. Before leaving, she couldn't help asking Li Nuo, "How do you know he is an assassin?"

Li Nuo smiled and explained, "His hands are too white and tender. How could the back of a peddler who sells goods on the streets of Chang'an all day be so white and tender? The moment I saw his hands, I became suspicious of him..."

Song Jiaren secretly admired Li Nuo's meticulous observation, but she didn't show it on her face. She held Song Muer's hand and said, "Muer, let's go home first."

After watching them leave, Li Nuo happily walked towards the Chang'an County Government Office.

Wu Guanjia told him that the peddler just now was a warrior in the inner breath realm.

The life span of a warrior in the second realm will be tripled when he is sentenced.

Three years of imprisonment plus exile of 3,000 miles will increase the basic life span by six days, multiplied by three, it is 18 days, which is equivalent to his normal ten days of judging cases.

Li Nuo must have more assassins like this.

One a day is not too much for him.

Before he and Wu Guanjia reached the county government office, a fragrant breeze blew behind them, and a figure appeared beside Li Nuo and walked side by side with him.

Li Nuo turned his head and looked at Song Jiaren, but didn't say anything.

Chang'an County Government Office.

Hearing that another assassin who tried to assassinate Li Nuo was caught, Pei County Magistrate, Zhang County Magistrate and Wang County Lieutenant all put down their work and hurried to the court.

The young man was held on the ground. Butler Wu stood in front of him and said with a gloomy face: "Tell me, why did you want to assassinate the young master, who ordered you?"

The man raised his head, sneered, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, whether you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!"

Butler Wu snorted coldly and said: "You are a hard-headed person. I will try all the eighteen tortures on you one by one later to see if you can still be so stubborn..."

The man had no fear on his face. He pulled the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically: "Old man, if I don't try, you are my grandson. If grandpa snorts, he is not a man!"

"Okay, okay, okay..."

Butler Wu said three good words in a row, looked at County Magistrate Pei, and said in a gloomy tone: "Take out all the torture instruments here, I want to see if his bones are as hard as his mouth!"

"Wait a minute..."

Li Nuo walked out and glanced at Butler Wu. He was obviously the victim. Why did he change his attitude after a few words from him?

In this situation, Butler Wu sounds like a vicious villain, while the assassin seems like a righteous man who is not afraid of power or sacrifice... This is not right!

Li Nuo walked up to the assassin and asked, "Have I ever offended you?"

"Pah!"

The man spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm. Fortunately, Li Nuo dodged quickly and dodged in time.

Butler Wu was not so good-tempered. He kicked him to the ground and said to Li Nuo, "Master, don't talk nonsense with him. Just drag him out and beat him to death to save trouble..."

"Beat him to death, can you understand the law..."

Li Nuo looked at him speechlessly. If you can beat someone to death casually, what's the use of the law? If he really did this, what's the difference between him and those dog officials who take human lives lightly?

Besides, caning is caning, and caning is death penalty. There is a difference of three levels in between. Beating someone to death on the spot is a serious violation of the law, and the officials involved will be suspended and investigated.

He is a commoner and has no such power.

After listening to Li Nuo's words, the man's sneer on his face became even worse, and he said sarcastically: "You thief, stop being so pretentious. If you are a man, give me a good time, and you will lose a scar on your head after eighteen years." Finally, I am a good man again!”

Li Nuo looked at this tough-talking assassin and always felt that something was wrong.

It's really not right.

No... Why is he, a criminal, so indignant and righteous in front of the victim?

He is a thief with one mouth and an old man with another, killing people on the street, how can he be so proud?

Li Nuo stood in front of him and said, "If you want to kill me, at least let me know the reason, right?"

The man twitched his lips and sneered: "Li Xuanjing, this traitor, formed a party for personal gain, monopolized power, betrayed his trust, took bribes and perverted the law, murdered the loyal and good, and took care of human life... Such thieves should be punished by everyone. Today you have killed one of me, There are thousands of me, and there are so many righteous people in the world, can you kill them all?"

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, and was about to say that he recognized the wrong person. His name was Li Nuo, not Li Xuanjing.

However, why is the name Li Xuanjing so familiar?

Li Nuo quickly remembered that Li Xuanjing's name was often written on the books that Butler Wu moved from his father's study.

Oh, his father’s name is Li Xuanjing.

Forming cliques for personal gain, monopolizing power, betraying one's trust, taking bribes and perverting the law, murdering loyal people, and taking human life lightly... These are not good words. Any one of them that is put on an official's head can mean that he is not a good official.

When these words appear on a person, there is no doubt that this person must be a great traitor of the country who is evil from head to toe, from inside to outside.

Li Nuo didn't believe that his elegant and handsome father was such a person.

Then he looked at the lady beside him.

Song Jiaren turned her head.

His eyes looked at Butler Wu.

Butler Wu looked up at the sky.

He looked at Magistrate Pei.

Pei Zhe looked down at the ground.

It seems that everyone is avoiding this question. Even Butler Wu, who respects his father to the extreme, has no refutation for the first time...

After being stunned for a long time, Li Nuo seemed to understand something.

He understood the sad and angry look in the female assassin's eyes.

He understood the arrow that could kill him at the gate of the county government office.

He understood why Pei Zhe, as the magistrate of a county, had to bow to him and not say a word when he repeatedly made things difficult for him, and why all the officials he met these days were groveling and cautious towards him.

He understood why the powerful doctor wanted to exterminate his relatives, why Butler Wu had been blocking him from cultivating the law, and why whenever he traveled, he needed countless overt and covert guards...

At this moment, everything seems to have an explanation.

I sat up in shock while dying of illness, the thief was actually me?
