Madam, protect me!

After the court meeting, Li Anning didn't even have time to change his court clothes, and rushed back to the Ministry of Justice.

When he arrived at the prison of the Ministry of Justice, he saw Li Nuo lying comfortably on a soft couch with several layers of bedding.

A young and beautiful female prisoner stood by the bed, fanning herself vigorously with a fan in her hand.

In fact, Li Nuo didn't want to trouble others.

But after the girl cleaned the cell, she found that Li Nuo had several mosquito bites on his body, and offered to help him fan the mosquitoes here.

Li Nuo solemnly told her that she was no longer a maid of the Li family, but she insisted on doing so.

Li Nuo couldn't resist, so he let her do it.

He had long discovered that this little girl looked weak, but her brain was stubborn and stubborn.

Last time she hurt him without knowing the truth, this might be her way to relieve her guilt.

Although Gu Yanran was sweating profusely from fanning, she was happy in her heart.

The young master didn't drive her away, which meant that he didn't hate her for the last incident.

Just now when she came from the prison of the female prisoners, she had heard that the young master was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice because he killed a powerful and evil son.

While she admired the young master in her heart, she was also worried about him.

I wonder how the court will deal with him?

Li Nuo was lying on the soft bed, thinking about this question.

However, it was useless for him to think about it.

Even now, Li Nuo did not regret it.

At least, he could still lie here and enjoy the service of the former Li family maid.

Instead of becoming a cold corpse like Li Yuan.

"Cough!"

Hearing a cough, Li Nuo sat up from the bed and saw a figure standing outside the cell.

The most eye-catching thing was a gorgeous phoenix crown, decorated with kingfisher phoenixes and jeweled tassels, with various gems shining against each other.

She was wearing a red palace dress with many beautiful patterns embroidered with gold thread, especially a phoenix on the hem, which was lifelike, as if it was about to fly out of her body.

Li Nuo didn't recognize this noble girl.

Until he caught a glimpse of her bulging chest wrapped in a palace dress.

Oh.

Li An Ning.

She changed her clothes and Li Nuo almost didn't recognize her.

He couldn't blame him. She usually wore the uniform of the Ministry of Justice, with a simple ponytail and a big "Bu" on her chest. She looked very abstinent. Li Nuo was used to it.

Suddenly she changed into a gorgeous outfit, noble, elegant and dignified, and appeared in front of him. Anyone would be stunned.

Li An Ning glanced at the official of the Ministry of Justice beside her and said, "Open the door."

At the signal of the official of the Ministry of Justice, two jailers opened the prison door, and Li An Ning walked in and said to Li Nuo, "Let's go."

Li Nuo asked, "Where to?"

Li An Ning rolled her eyes at him and said, "Of course, go home. What, are you addicted to living in the prison of the Ministry of Justice?"

Her rolling eyes were very spiritual.

The familiar princess is back again.

After a while, Li Nuo walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice. From Li An Ning, he had learned what happened in the hall just now.

He looked up at the sky above his head, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Someone committed a crime, and he couldn't punish him through legal means.

But he could kill him.

This world is really fucking magical.

Li An Ning said with some relief: "I thought that if I told everyone that you solved the case of Sifang Pavilion, my brother would find an excuse to protect you. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was still your father's gold medal of immunity from death..."

Li Nuo couldn't say anything about this.

In fact, he didn't want to show his face in that case.

He hadn't done anything yet, and someone arranged eight warriors of the fourth realm just to take his life.

Eight people in the realm of controlling objects are enough to kill the master, and they really think highly of him.

Just because he is Li Xuanjing's son, some people want to cut him into pieces and want his life again and again.

In order to set up bait, they even slaughtered six innocent people.

If the mastermind behind the envoy case holds a grudge against him, wouldn't there be another powerful enemy hiding in the dark?

However, he couldn't blame Li An Ning, after all, she was kind-hearted.

And the situation was urgent, and there was no other way at the time.

Li Nuo clasped his fists to Princess An Ning and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Li An Ning didn't say anything, and rolled her eyes at him as usual.

Li Nuo stood in the courtyard of the Ministry of Justice and took a deep breath.

This was Li Nuo's second visit to the Ministry of Justice, but the feeling was completely different from the first time.

To be precise, he didn't feel anything the first time.

At that time, he hadn't entered the country yet.

But after entering the country, the feeling of coming to the Ministry of Justice again was different.

Li Nuo could feel that many people in the Ministry of Justice exuded a kind and familiar atmosphere.

Looking at the constables and runners of the Ministry of Justice passing by him, Li Nuo probably understood how Li An Ning felt when he looked at him.

Although they hadn't entered the country, they already had the aura of the Legalists, which made people feel more intimate.

Li Nuo stood in the courtyard of the Ministry of Justice.

The officials from the Ministry of Justice who passed by him all smiled and nodded to him.

Some detectives would even secretly give him a thumbs up.

Li Anning looked at Li Nuo, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "How about it, our Criminal Department is not bad, you will definitely not be able to go to Chang'an County Government to judge cases in the future. Do you want to come to our Criminal Department, although you still can't judge cases, But as long as I protect you and practice well with me, there will be no problem in letting you advance to the second level within three to five years..."

Li Nuo waved his hand and said, "I won't cultivate anymore..."

Li Anning was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly: "Why don't you cultivate?"

Li Nuo said: "I no longer practice Legalism."

After practicing Legalism for more than a month, he no longer had the ambition he had at the beginning.

Just now in the court, all the dignitaries were desperately trying to kill him.

Perhaps for the sake of fellow Legalists, the censors kindly sentenced him to three years' imprisonment and three thousand miles of exile.

I have to thank them.

Fortunately, there is a gold medal to avoid death this time.

But there won’t be any next time.

Last night, Li Nuo didn't sleep well.

There were so many mosquitoes in the county government cell that he was bitten and woke him up many times in the middle of the night, and later he stopped sleeping at all.

He wrapped himself in a quilt and thought for a long time.

As the son of the biggest traitor in Daxia, it was not easy for him to survive until now.

During the three days of assassinations, the killer became stronger and the situation became more dangerous.

The lifespan I had worked so hard to save for so long was gone all of a sudden.

Two life and death crises in one day.

Maybe one day the goodbye I say to my wife before going out will be forever.

He is not one of those Legalist predecessors who could risk his life for the sake of his ideals.

He just wants to live well.

Suddenly hearing Li Nuo say this, Li Anning was shocked and said: "Why!"

Li Nuo sighed: "It's too difficult to practice law, and it's not easy either..."

My father has too many enemies, so a cultivator can certainly improve his cultivation and increase his ability to protect himself.

But the path of spiritual practice is full of difficulties, more dangerous than any other path.

After finally collecting evidence, there is no legal way to try a murderer with numerous crimes.

Redemption of punishment, official position, noble title, gold medal to avoid death...

They have so many ways to avoid guilt. The fastest way to deal with a murderer is to become a murderer yourself.

In fact, Li Nuo didn't have any particularly lofty ideals. He died of overwork in his previous life. If he could finally do it again, why would he have to live so tiredly again?

It is enough to have a small family of your own, a beautiful wife, and two lovely children to live a comfortable life.

He didn't do anything and there were countless people who wanted him dead.

If you go against those big shots all day long, your enemies will only become more and more numerous.

It’s too difficult to become stronger on your own.

It’s not easy either.

Rather than supporting himself, he wanted to hug his wife's thigh tightly.

The lady's talent is so high, let her work hard on her cultivation.

When she reaches the fifth and sixth realms of cultivation, just stick to her every day.

She smells so good, and Li Nuo also likes to cling to her.

If you want to live longer, you can also adopt gentle methods.

Being a small county magistrate or county lieutenant, reviewing small cases every day and handling the daily disputes of the people, although his life span will increase a bit slowly, it can still keep him alive.

Li Anning looked at Li Nuo's dejected look and was shocked. Could it be that he was heartbroken?

When she first started practicing law, she faced this feeling of powerlessness and had doubts about herself.

She hurriedly said: "Don't, man, how can you give up when you encounter setbacks? Isn't it just killing a criminal who deserves to die? Many Legalist predecessors have done the same thing as you. If the law is unjust, , the court is incompetent, what’s wrong with doing justice for heaven..."

Li Nuo asked: "What is the fate of those Legalist predecessors?"

Li Anning was stunned: "Uh..."

Some Legalist predecessors did this, but almost all of them were persecuted to death by the powerful.

But Li Nuo is different!

Your father is Li Xuanjing, and Prince Chun treats you as if he were his own son. What are you afraid of?

No, no, we must persuade him to come back!

Li Anning grabbed Li Nuo's arm and advised earnestly: "We can't afford to offend the powerful people, so we can afford to hide from the head office. Let's do this. You come to the Criminal Department and I investigate the case, and I will give you more cases. Although Xiu Xiu The growth is a little slow, but it’s better than not cultivating at all, so don’t give up…”

Li Nuo said no more.

When he and Li Anning walked out of the Criminal Department, Butler Wu's carriage was already waiting outside.

Seeing Li Nuo coming out, he said with a smile: "Master, let's go to Prince Chun's Mansion first. His Highness Prince Chun said that he would cleanse the young master at the Prince's Mansion and get rid of bad luck..."

When Li Anning heard this, he immediately jumped on the carriage and said, "I'm going too. It just so happens that I haven't been to Brother Huang's place for a long time. The chef in Prince Chun's Mansion is pretty good at craftsmanship..."

Although the chef in Prince Chun's palace was very good, she was more worried about Li Nuo.

One is for Legalism itself.

The second is for yourself.

Because most of them end up miserable, fewer and fewer people are willing to take the initiative to practice Falun Gong.

If this continues. It was only a matter of time before Legalism completely cut off its inheritance.

It’s hard to find a promising newcomer, but if he is also discouraged from practicing law, how lonely will she be in the future?

She planned to persuade him again, both in public and private matters.

King Chun invited Li Nuo to go.

If it weren't for King Chun, he would still be in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

It is indeed necessary to thank people in person.

Li Nuo was about to get on the carriage when he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked towards the opposite side of the Criminal Department.

There is a small stall there.

A wooden table and a worn-out banner with the words "Divine Calculation" written on it are all that the stall has.

An old man with a white beard and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old are sitting behind the table.

This strange combination of the old and the young aroused some curiosity in Li Nuo.

There is indeed a school of thought among all the philosophers, called Yin-Yang School.

The descendants of Yin-Yang School have always been very few and extremely rare.

Ninety-nine point ninety percent of the fortune-tellers seen on the streets on weekdays are charlatans.

A true Yin-Yang School can achieve a certain degree of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster through divination.

This allows them to make the best decision when faced with choices.

Sometimes, whether to step out with the left foot first or the right foot first, different choices represent different fortunes for the day.

From a small battle to a large war, the results can be calculated in advance through divination.

Of course, the more complex the calculation, the more profound the cultivation required.

In addition, Yin-Yang Schools have a very special ability.

In addition to calculating fortune, they can also calculate and even change a person's life span.

This is a very strange ability.

If a normal person with good health and no illness is told by a Yin-Yang master that he will die within three days, he will definitely die within these three days for some reason.

If a passerby walks by on the street and the Yin-Yang master says that he will not live more than half a year, he will definitely not live more than half a year.

As the cultivation becomes more profound, the predictions of the Yin-Yang master will become more and more accurate.

A powerful Yin-Yang master can even accurately predict the time of death of others.

In the dark, everything seems to be destined.

At first glance, I just think this thing is magical, but when I think about it carefully, it is extremely terrifying.

How can a person's life span be predicted?

From the moment a person is born, his ending has been written, and no matter what he does, it will not affect this ending.

All the efforts he has made to change his fate are also written in his fate.

This kind of fatalism, as long as you think about it, will produce a kind of powerless despair.

Although fate is not absolutely unchangeable, there are very few people who can change their fate against the will of heaven.

From ancient times to the present, people have been very afraid of Yin-Yang School.

This is a fear that comes from the bones, far more than the fear of other schools.

It is recorded in the books that Yin-Yang School at a high level can even deprive and transfer the lifespan of others.

But there are very few Yin-Yang School at a high level. For some unknown reason, once a Yin-Yang School breaks through to the seventh level, it will die in a very short time, and most of them die of madness.

People generally believe that they have been punished by heaven because they have leaked too many secrets.

This has led to fewer people practicing Yin-Yang School, and many descendants of Yin-Yang families have gradually given up this way.

Because what happened to him was too magical, Li Nuo was no longer an atheist.

But he still found it difficult to accept things like destiny.

After all, if he was destined to die one day, what was the number in the Code?

What was the point of him running around every day and trying his best to extend his life?

Not only Li Nuo was doubting, but the white-bearded old man behind the fortune-telling stall was also doubting.

How come he has been practicing for decades, and he is getting better and better?

The day before yesterday, it was calculated that the young man still had more than half a year to live.

It has only been two days, and there are less than two months left?

How can there be such a strange fate!

He has calculated his life for a whole sixty years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

This made his firm heart of Taoism begin to be unstable.

After calming down, he planned to calculate again.

Under the wooden table, his fingers trembled rapidly, and even afterimages appeared.

After a while, the old man stopped his hand movements.

"Hehe..."

He showed a mocking look on his face.

This calculation was three months longer than before.

For the first time, he doubted the family's Yin-Yang theory.

In his annoyance, the more he looked at the "Divine Calculation" flag next to him, the more ironic he felt. He stood up, kicked it down with one foot, and said angrily: "Divine Calculation, calculate, calculate, calculate, calculate your mother!"

In addition to anger, there was also a little fear in the depths of his eyes.

When Gao Jing Yin-Yang family went crazy and died, he doubted what he had learned throughout his life.

However, his cultivation is far from this level...

At this time.

Ministry of Justice.

In a certain government office, a middle-aged man stamped his official seal on a file and said coldly: "Hmph, what Tianshan Seven Devils..., sooner or later, you will become Tianshan Eight Ghosts!"

Outside the Ministry of Justice.

Li Nuo, who had just climbed onto the carriage, showed a look of surprise on his face.

One hundred and fifty days.

This is his latest lifespan.

The number on the code has just increased by another hundred days.

Although I don't know why it was delayed for so long.

But obviously, he killed the assassin of the fourth realm and brought him another hundred days of lifespan bonus.

While Li Nuo was thinking, several constables of the Ministry of Justice held a bunch of portraits of sea constables and pasted them on the wall outside the Ministry of Justice. They were the Tianshan Seven Devils who assassinated him.

His portrait also appeared on the code.

Li Nuo seemed to understand something.

Could it be that the trial of this level of prisoners needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Justice before it can take effect?

But in any case, at least it means that he can get on the bus first and then buy a ticket.

If he had come to the Ministry of Justice at that time, perhaps Li Yuan would not have to die.

Unfortunately, there is no if...

Li Nuo lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

Li An Ning had already sat in before him and sat on the same side with his wife.

The space in the carriage was a bit narrow, so Li Nuo could only sit opposite them.

Usually, he and his wife actually sat face to face. Although their relationship was different from before, they had never been close enough to sit on the same side of the carriage.

But today's situation was a bit special.

Because there was a third person in the carriage.

To outsiders, he and his wife were husband and wife and should sit on the same side.

Of course, it was just one seat, and there was no need to be so harsh. The problem was...

Both his wife and the princess were first-class beauties, there was no doubt about that.

Each of them individually could only be said to be plump and thin, each with their own merits.

But when they sat side by side, the feeling was not that of a plump and thin person, but that only Ning Dajia was small.

Li Nuo could see that she was very unnatural.

Of course, this is not my wife's fault. Any normal woman would feel unnatural sitting side by side with Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Li Nuo couldn't bear to see my wife continue to be tortured by Princess An Ning, so he took the initiative to say, "My wife, please sit next to me."

As soon as Li Nuo finished speaking, Song Jiaren immediately changed her seat and sat with him.

Her expression did not change, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
