My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!
Chapter 531 - 348 Father Li Xuanjing_2

When these two outsiders are targeted by these heartless fellows, losing their money would already be the best outcome; as for their lives, they are likely doomed.

The guard officer looked at Li Nuo and Song Yiren, and asked, "Is what he said true?"

Song Yiren pointed to the few stout men on the ground and angrily said, "Between us and them, who looks more like the criminals? Can't you see for yourself?"

The young guard officer snorted and said, "I think you look more like them, otherwise, how could they be the ones lying on the ground?"

The leader of the stout men immediately added, "Yes, yes, yes, the bundles they have are what they stole from us!"

Watching this scene, Song Yiren finally understood and yelled angrily, "I get it now, you're all in it together!"

The young guard officer said coldly, "A wicked person dares to claim innocence first. Take them away!"

Li Nuo's expression had already turned very grim.

This wasn't just collusion between officials and bandits; it was collusion among officials, bandits, and soldiers. The darkness of this situation was simply appalling!

Just as the guards were about to step forward and apprehend them, their legs suddenly trembled, and they kneeled down straightaway.

The young guard officer and two constables felt an immense pressure, forcing them to their knees. They wanted to struggle up, but they couldn't even lift their heads.

"Scoundrels!"

Li Nuo sat at a roadside tea stand, released the restraints on a constable and a guard, and said coldly, "Bring your superior over here!"

The two scrambled away in a hurry.

After sitting for a quarter of an hour, the ground beneath Li Nuo's feet suddenly began to tremble slightly. The teacups on the tea stand clinked from the vibrations.

Li Nuo and Song Yiren looked up to see a black line appear at the end of the street.

It wasn't a black line, but black armor.

Nearly a hundred soldiers clad in armor appeared on the street.

The ground was shaking due to their running footsteps.

As they got closer, an atmosphere of intense killing intent washed over them.

This aura was not unfamiliar to Li Nuo.

It was the aura of the Military.

Among the hundred schools of thought, each had its strengths. Legalism was known for individual prowess, while the Military excelled in utilizing collective strength.

A single soldier's strength was limited, but when hundreds or thousands formed a military formation, the power they could unleash was terrifying.

Where the great army passes, even those in the Sixth Realm must retreat.

Among these hundred soldiers, each individual's aura was only in the Second or Third Realm, and the leading middle-aged officer was just in the Fourth Realm.

But their combined formation aura brought heavy pressure even to Li Nuo, who was in the Fifth Realm.

The middle-aged officer walked behind the kneeling men, felt the force exerted on them, his expression changed slightly, and he blurted out, "Legalism!"

Not only did he sense the power of Legalism, but it was also the power of the Fifth Realm of Legalism.

As far as he knew, there was only one Fifth Realm Legalist in Daxia, and that was the current Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Justice.

But the source of this power was the young man sitting over there, who clearly could not be the current third-rank official.

Li Nuo released the restraints on these people, and the pressure on them abruptly disappeared. The young guard officer clambered up, saw the middle-aged officer as if seeing a savior, and pointed at Li Nuo, saying, "General, this man robbed in the street and dares to resist arrest. Quickly take him down!"

"Rob your mother!"

Just as he got up, the middle-aged officer kicked him to the ground.

A Fifth Realm Legalist robbing in the street, could anyone say such a thing?

As the young guard officer lay on the ground, still confused, the middle-aged officer quickly walked up to Li Nuo, cupped his fists, and asked, "May I know your esteemed name?"

Li Nuo replied, "Minister of Justice, Li Nuo."

The middle-aged officer's heart shook; it turned out to be someone from the Ministry of Justice, but a mere Minister of Justice possessing Fifth Realm Legalist cultivation...

He thought that the name Li Nuo sounded familiar, but he couldn't immediately recall where he had heard it before.

Seeing the other party's puzzled look, Li Nuo sighed lightly and said again, "My father, Li Xuanjing."

The middle-aged officer's body trembled, his expression becoming immediately respectful, and he said, "So, you are the son of the Minister of Justice, my respects!"

Li Nuo was speechless; after all, he was also the Sixt Subjects' Scholar, was his title really that unknown?

Thud!

With just a mention of "My father, Li Xuanjing," a man in official attire who had just arrived nearly fell to his knees.

He was the County Magistrate of Lan County. He had just heard from a constable that someone was robbing in the street and had injured the patrolling guards. He personally led a group of government officials here, only to hear this sentence upon arrival.

The constable walked ahead, pointing at Li Nuo, and said: "My lord, it's him!"

"It's your mother!"

The Lan County Magistrate slapped him to the ground. The court wanted to transfer him to Chang'an and promote him. Why did he refuse under the pretext of taking care of his mother?

Wasn't it just because he was afraid of being conveniently killed by Li Xuanjing?

This bastard even directly brought trouble to our door!

He stepped forward with big strides, cupped his fist towards Li Nuo, and said: "This humble official, Lan County Magistrate, pays respects to Lord Li!"

Li Nuo looked at the two men and said plainly: "One of you is a good parent official, and the other governs the soldiers well..."

...

Lan County Magistrate's Office.

The Lan County Magistrate stood before Li Nuo, his face pale, repeatedly saying: "It was my negligence in management. Please rest assured, my lord. From now on, I will strictly discipline them. The two involved constables will be immediately dismissed and investigated..."

The middle-aged general was even more irascible, punching and kicking the young guard officer furiously, shouting: "I sent you to the army to protect the people, you bastard, yet you colluded with bandits and oppressed the people..."

Li Nuo looked at the two and said: "I hope you both mean what you say. When I return to Chang'an, I want to see the dossier of this case in the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of War."

The Lan County Magistrate nodded vigorously, saying: "Definitely, definitely!"

The middle-aged general also said: "When I return to the camp, I will deal with him according to military law..."

Handling the case requires a proper procedure, Li Nuo couldn't deal with them on the spot.

The Lan County Magistrate wiped his sweat and said: "Lord Li, I have already set up a grand banquet at the tavern..."

Before he could finish, Li Nuo waved him off, saying: "No need. I am in a hurry to travel. Remember what you said, otherwise, next time someone comes to Lan State, it won't just be to investigate this case..."

The Lan County Magistrate was shocked, repeatedly saying: "I understand, I understand!"

He personally escorted them out of the county office, then wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He turned pale and looked at the constables and government officials standing in the courtyard, angrily saying: "Confess honestly, who else among you engages in such deeds in private!"

...

Lan State city gate.

Li Nuo and Yiren walked out side by side. Although they were delayed for a little over an hour, it made Li Nuo realize something.

The cultivation resources in Chang'an had already been cleared out by his father.

But the situation in these local prefectures was even worse than in Chang'an. For the next realm of cultivation, he already had some thoughts.

These were matters to consider in the future. Currently, the most important thing was to go home.

Li Nuo held Yiren's hand and said: "Let's go."

Somewhere off the official road, on the ground, Li Nuo took a step forward, his figure appearing dozens of meters away, several meters above the ground. Yiren was flying, her body leaving a residual shadow in the void...

Half an hour later.

A figure rapidly approached, hovering in the void.

The black-clothed man closed his eyes, sensing the remaining trace of True Qi around.

He looked ahead, a smile appearing on his face, and said: "Found you..."

In the next moment, his body turned into a black stream of light, chasing in the direction where the two had disappeared.

Bang!

But he only advanced a hundred meters before a muffled sound came from the void.

The black-clothed man's figure reappeared from the void.

He rubbed his forehead; even he felt a buzzing in his mind from that crash.

But the void ahead was clearly empty.

What did he crash into?

He reached out his hand, touching an invisible barrier.

As if sensing something, he suddenly turned his head, looking downward.

A figure sat quietly by a small creek below, holding a fishing rod. Just then, a small fish took the bait.

He removed the small fish from the hook, placing it in the fish basket.

There were already quite a few small fish in the basket, indicating that he had been fishing there for quite some time.

The man put down the fishing rod, turned to look at the black-clothed man, and calmly asked: "Friend, where are you going?"
