My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 129 - 96: Applying Their Methods to Themselves [10,000 Characters]_2

Seeing her stand up and get ready to leave, Li Nuo suddenly said, "Wife."

Song Jiaren turned her head to look at him.

Li Nuo said, "Could you give me your wallet?"

Song Jiaren did not ask why and took out a pink wallet from around her waist and handed it to Li Nuo.

Li Nuo took the wallet and, after his wife had left, placed it beside his pillow.

Having been exhausted all day, his body was already weak. Smelling the calming scent from the wallet as if his wife were by his side, he soon fell asleep.

Song Jiaren did not leave the prison.

She placed the food box at the entrance of the cell on a table and sat down on a long bench beside it, quietly standing guard here.

The night was deep.

Inside the prison, Li Nuo slept very peacefully.

At Marquis Yunyang Mansion, everything was shrouded in mourning.

The eldest young master was assassinated, and his mother fainted from grief and had not yet awakened.

The Marquis was extremely furious and shut himself in his study. Soon, letters were sent out from the mansion by servants to the residences of various nobles in Chang’an.

A young figure entered the mansion before curfew and saw the white lanterns hanging at the gate. He paused, shocked, and said, "What happened at the mansion, did someone pass away?"

The gatekeeper, dressed in mourning clothes, comforted him, "Second young master, please restrain your grief..."

The young man shuddered, crying out in sorrow, "Father..."

The gatekeeper quickly grabbed him, "Second young master, you are mistaken, it’s not the lord, it’s the eldest young master, he was killed!"

The young man shook again, disbelief coloring his face.

What?

Li Yuan is dead?

Did that beast really die?

If Li Yuan is dead, isn’t he now the Marquis Mansion’s eldest young master and future first-class marquis?

Truly, joy comes unexpectedly while one strolls outside.

He stared agape at the white lanterns hanging all around the mansion; after regaining his composure, his expression grew even more sorrowful as he loudly said, "Brother, your death is truly tragic haha..."

...

Early morning.

Just as the government offices of Chang’an opened, they received shocking news.

Last night, Marquis Yunyang’s eldest son was stabbed to death in front of many people at the Chang’an County Government.

This was the second major incident in Chang’an within a day.

In the afternoon, the son of the Minister of Justice was assassinated, and to take his life, the mastermind deployed eight martial artists from the Fourth Realm.

The Minister of Justice, one of the Nine Ministers, high in both position and power, someone had sent out eight Fourth Realm warriors to kill his only son.

Marquis Yunyang, a first-class marquis of Daxia, a top-tier noble, whose legitimate eldest son and future marquis was killed publicly...

How long had it been since such a heinous incident occurred in Daxia?

Coincidentally, the murderer who killed Marquis Yunyang’s eldest son is the son of the current Minister of Justice.

The son of a Standard Third Rank official had killed another Standard Third Rank noble’s son.

Although squabbles among the sons of Chang’an’s nobility were common, such an extent was exceedingly rare.

Numerous people were immediately dispatched to gather information.

Chang’an had no secrets. They soon untangled the sequence of events.

The conflict began three days ago when Marquis Yunyang’s son, Li Yuan, tried to abduct a peasant girl and was stopped by the son of the Minister of Justice, starting their feud.

Li Xuanjing’s son was a Law Practitioner, which, although somewhat unbelievable, was no secret in the upper circles of Chang’an.

Later, in retaliation, Marquis Yunyang, along with several nobles, petitioned the three provinces and halted Li Nuo’s trial duties at Chang’an County Government, cutting off his path of cultivation and deepening their conflict.

Afterwards, Li Nuo unearthed a murder case involving Li Yuan from six months prior, and had Li Yuan detained at the Ministry of Justice, but Li Yuan was saved by a Death Exemption Token from his father and publicly ridiculed Li Nuo at the Ministry of Justice—the event had testimonial backup from ministry officials.

To this point, the situation was still within the realm of normal disputes.

However, what happened next was completely unexpected.

Yesterday morning, using the murder of six innocent citizens as bait, the conspirators drew the Law Practitioner Li Nuo to investigate the case, only to ambush him at the scene with eight Fourth Realm assassins, nearly succeeding in killing the only son of the Minister of Justice.

If not for the formidable strength of his guard, the Minister of Justice would have been left childless.

Logically speaking, the Marquis Yunyang Mansion was under heavy suspicion, though people did not believe the Marquis had the audacity.

Several hours later, news came that Li Yuan had been killed at the county government.

This case was witnessed by a Chief from the Ministry of Personnel, and Li Nuo had himself admitted to the crime and voluntarily confined himself in the Chang’an County Government prison.

In fairness, the root of their conflict lay with Li Yuan.

But even if Li Yuan was at fault, it didn’t justify killing him!

And even if he was driven to such extreme hatred towards Li Yuan, he shouldn’t have acted personally.

Why not hire an assassin? Killing the eldest son of a first-class marquis in public––even if his father was Li Xuanjing, this affair would likely be difficult to resolve.

This morning, Marquis Yunyang displayed his son’s body at the palace gates and, leading a group of nobles, petitioned the court for severe punishment of the murderer.

Given such a significant case, the three provinces naturally did not dare to dally.

They instructed the Ministry of Justice to fetch the suspect from Chang’an County Government immediately, with the Capital Prefecture and Imperial Censorate jointly investigating the case, excluding the Ministry of Justice due to its close association with the suspect.

Simultaneously, the three provinces also issued a notice to all government offices to urgently convene a court meeting to deliberate on this case.

At the Ministry of Justice.

Li Anning, after hearing these events, dropped the bun she had barely bitten into onto the floor.

She hadn’t been at the Ministry of Justice yesterday as she was paying respects to her mother at the Imperial Mausoleum and had only returned to Chang’an this morning.

She hadn’t expected that such a major incident would happen just in one day.
