My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 130 - 96: Applying Their Methods to Themselves [10,000 Characters]_3
Li Nuo was attacked at noon and killed Li Yuan at night...
No, that thing she said was a joke, she didn’t expect him to actually kill!
Why is this child so incredibly honest!
She hurriedly left the Ministry of Justice, wanting to go to the Chang’an County Government to take a look, but just as she stepped out of the Ministry of Justice’s main gate, she saw Li Nuo alighting from a carriage, accompanied by officials and constables from the Ministry of Justice.
Just like Li Yuan, his status was not ordinary; even if he committed a serious crime, he wouldn’t be shackled with fetters and such.
Song Jiaren followed behind Li Nuo, and as she reached the entrance of the Ministry of Justice, an official there stopped her and said, "Miss, this is a restricted area of the Ministry of Justice, you cannot enter."
Li Anning spoke up, "Let her in."
The Ministry of Justice official slowly moved aside and said nothing more.
As the group arrived at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice’s prison, she said to Song Jiaren, "We have rules here in the Ministry of Justice, I can’t allow you into the prison, but you can wait here, or sit in the office over there. Don’t worry, I will take good care of him."
Li Nuo walked into the large prison of the Ministry of Justice, and Li Anning had someone open a cell door.
This cell was obviously larger and more spacious than ordinary cells, and it seemed to have been unoccupied for a long time, the ground covered in a layer of dust.
Seeing this, an official from the Ministry of Justice instructed two prison guards, "Find some female prisoners, have them clean up this place thoroughly, and bring in a new blanket..."
Outside the cell, Li Anning looked at Li Nuo in disbelief, "You really killed him..."
Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn’t that what Your Highness taught me?"
Li Anning was at a loss for words; she usually never saw him follow her instructions to the letter.
Waiting around for them to clean was boring; Li Nuo tossed his jade pendant into the air, and with a thought, it hovered there. He looked at Li Anning and said, "Look, I’ve reached a new realm..."
The first realm of Legalism, unlocking the power of restraint.
Li Anning rolled her eyes at him. What was he thinking, flaunting his cultivation at a time like this...
Slashing the scions of nobility in anger, who else would advance in cultivation if not he?
Legalism and the Martial Path are two completely different systems, and the speed of cultivation is the fastest among all the Hundred Schools, unparalleled.
If he could wield a sword and slay all the nobles in Chang’an who deserved death, even she wouldn’t be able to match him.
Throwing him another glare, Li Anning said, "You stay here and behave. I am going to the court to see what I can do for you, and to plead for your case. This matter will surely not be peacefully resolved by Marquis Yunyang; those nobles probably won’t let you off easily..."
One didn’t have to think too hard to know that those nobles would surely seize this issue tenaciously.
If Li Yuan’s death were to be glossed over easily, then wouldn’t every noble offspring in Chang’an feel imperiled?
After giving Li Nuo a warning, she left in a hurry.
After Li Anning had left, the female prisoners responsible for cleaning arrived.
These prisoners were mostly serving imprisonment sentences which not only meant incarceration, but also entailed a certain amount of labor. Male prisoners would generally be taken to repair city walls and dig canals, and in times of war, they were even sent to the battlefield as fodder.
Due to physical strength considerations, female prisoners were assigned lighter labor such as weaving, laundry, and cleaning.

Several female prisoners, dressed in white prison garb, passed by Li Nuo. A petite girl looked up, paused for a moment, and exclaimed in shock, "Young Master..."
Li Nuo looked down.
Oh, an acquaintance.
...
Imperial Palace.
Atop the Golden Hall.
This was an emergency assembly of the court, but the number of officials attending was greater than at any prior session.
The death of a first-class marquis’s son within the government premises of Chang’an County, and the incarceration of Minister of Justice Li Xuanjing’s son; neither party involved was easily provoked.
Even if this case had little to do with them directly, officials were curious to join in the spectacle.
Unfortunately for them, the very same Minister of Justice who was at the center of this maelstrom was unexpectedly absent from the court, and they could not witness his reaction.
Marquis Yunyang, dressed in white, knelt in the hall in silence.
On both sides of the great hall, the courtiers were causing an uproar.
A noble with a grim face spoke, "Repeatedly disregarding court decrees, without delving into that, to publicly kill a son of a first-class marquis, such behavior is extremely wicked. If we do not execute him, how can we demonstrate the justice of the law?"
Marquis Yongshou is correct: this child is lawless, he shows contempt for the court, contempt for the law; according to the law, he should be executed!"
"If we don’t execute him this time and let him go free, who knows what vile acts he will commit next? If we don’t kill him, neither the heavens nor the law will tolerate it!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
On the left side of the hall, a group burning with righteous indignation, seemingly more furious than Marquis Yunyang—as if it was their own sons who had died—were the nobles of Daxia.
Unlike the courtiers who were divided into factions and constantly bickered amongst themselves.
The Daxia nobles were always united against their enemies, the largest and most cohesive force within the court.
On the right side of the hall, the ones arguing tirelessly against them, were a group of Imperial Censors.
Almost every court session, these Imperial Censors would put forward various charges to impeach Minister of Justice Li Xuanjing.
Although they did not wield great power, they were relentless in their criticisms.
However, this time around, with Li Xuanjing being collectively attacked by the nobles, they unexpectedly stood on Li Xuanjing’s side.
Even though Li Xuanjing was not currently present in the court.
As the clamor from the nobles subsided somewhat, an Assistant Imperial Censor said, "Marquis Yunyang’s son Li Yuan has always been unruly, bringing disaster upon Chang’an. Half a year ago, because he was caught cheating by his peers at the academy, he beat one to death; is that not a contempt of the law?"
An Imperial Censor stepped forward and added, "Li Yuan lived debauchedly, who knows how many virtuous women he has harmed. This incident also began with his attempt to forcefully abduct a good family... Though we lack official credentials and cannot convene a trial, at heart, he was serving the common people, his intentions were good..."
