My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 215 - 120: Unleashing Ultimate at Point-Blank, Facing the Wife’s Wrath_2

Li Nuo’s spirits lifted upon hearing the news.

Nearly five hundred people, how much longer would his life be extended?

This was a major case he had cracked by putting his life on the line and infiltrating the enemy ranks.

Even if they didn’t let him judge the case, they couldn’t strip him of his merit.

Theft generally didn’t warrant capital punishment, but even if each person was only sentenced to three years’ penal servitude and three thousand li of exile, that would add three thousand days to his life span; within a few years, he would not have to worry about his life span at all.

Moreover, with enough life span saved up, he could exchange for various abilities without any pressure, and even if he exchanged cultivation of the Fourth Realm, he wouldn’t be drained in an instant.

At that moment, Li Nuo felt that all the hardships he had endured these days were worthwhile.

He glanced at the Law Code, his remaining life span was still two hundred days.

Li Nuo’s gaze once again turned towards Li Anning, asking, "Those people haven’t been judged yet?"

Li Anning replied, "They are too numerous, the Ministry of Justice is still interrogating them and determining their sentences. I have already spoken with the Minister, and once their case files are prepared, someone from the Song Residence will notify you to use the seal."

There was no doubt that Li Nuo was the chief contributor to this case.

The members of the Thief Sect were extremely cautious, and without his infiltration of their ranks, there would have been no chance to root them out completely.

Officials from the Chang’an County Government, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice all benefited from his light.

Naturally, he was the only one qualified to seal the case.

Li Anning had come to the Song Family to inform Li Nuo of the case progress, and seeing him asleep, she waited for a while.

Previously, when she visited the Song Residence, she didn’t feel anything special.

But now, seeing Song Jiaren, she always felt a bit guilty.

After informing Li Nuo of these details, she straightforwardly said, "I don’t have any other business, I’ll head back to the Ministry of Justice..."

At that moment, a servant girl from the Song Residence came in from outside and asked, "Miss, Master, shall we have lunch now?"

Li Nuo looked at Li Anning and said, "Why don’t you stay for a meal, and afterward we can head to the Ministry of Justice together?"

Concerned about several years’ worth of life span, he could not just sit at home and wait.

Li Anning intended to refuse, but felt that doing so would seem cowardly.

She wasn’t a wicked woman stealing someone else’s husband; she had nothing to feel guilty about.

She straightened her chest a little and said, "Alright..."

The Song Residence’s noon meals generally consisted of four dishes and one soup, just enough for Li Nuo, his wife, and Mumu to eat.

Today, with one more person at noon, Li Nuo specially instructed the kitchen to prepare an extra dish.

The cook was brought from the Li Family by Li Nuo; with his father leaving early and returning late, hardly eating at home, the three foodie chefs had nothing to lose by being idle.

Li Nuo’s left side was occupied by his wife, and on the right was Li Anning, while Mumu sat across from him.

Song Mu’er glanced at the pretty sister with large breasts. Actually, the place to Li Nuo’s right was exclusively hers, but since the pretty sister was a guest, she felt it inappropriate to say anything and just ate her meal quietly.

The cook from the Li Family was unquestionably skilled; after several days of tough times, tasting delicious food again, Li Nuo didn’t have any particular feelings and his mind was elsewhere as he picked at his food.

His mind was still on those hundreds of thieves.

Members of the Thief Sect were elite among thieves, carefully selected.

Even if they were just ordinary peripheral members, they all were seasoned thieves before joining.

According to Daxia’s Law, even an unsuccessful theft attempt warranted fifty lashes.

And once successful...

A piece of fish, picked clean of bones, was brought to his lips. Li Nuo took it absentmindedly, tasting it while continuing to think.

Theft, once successful, would have its value converted into silk during sentencing, calculated at the market price of one bolt of silk for 500 cents, stealing 50 cents would warrant sixty lashes, two taels of silver would mean one year of penal servitude, and stealing more than twenty taels would result in three years of penal servitude and three thousand li of exile.

Three years of penal servitude and three thousand li of exile was the maximum penalty for theft.

If it were simply a theft of property, there was no difference between stealing twenty taels and two hundred taels.

However, if the theft involved causing injury, it could be punished with the death penalty.

With these four hundred plus people, the lowest amount they would have collectively stolen would touch the maximum threshold of twenty taels; aside from adding to his lifespan, he wondered if it would allow his cultivation to break through to the Second Realm?

To Li Nuo’s right, Li Anning was also in thought.

Catching so many thieves at once was indeed a great achievement and could even allow a newcomer of Legalism to leap to the Second Realm in a single bound.

But for her, already in the Fourth Realm, it would only add a limited amount of cultivation.

The thief knows best, rather than exiling them all, it would be better to select a few to atone for their crimes and assist the government in chasing and arresting thieves.

This way, not only would Chang’an’s public order improve, but it would also greatly benefit her cultivation.

Ideally, an Arresting Department would be established under the Ministry of Justice.

This task, on her own, was impossible.

She still had to rely on Li Nuo.

More precisely, his father.

Li Anning picked up a shrimp with her chopsticks and brought it to Li Nuo’s mouth. After Li Nuo took it subconsciously, he reflexively said, "Thank you, wife."

Clatter!

Song Mu’er was drinking soup and, startled by this scene, shook her hand and dropped the spoon into the bowl.

She quietly slipped off the stool and said, "I’m full, I’ll go outside to train."

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran outside.

Before leaving, she didn’t forget to take Song Jiaren’s sword with her.

Li Anning withdrew her chopsticks and inadvertently saw the woman across from her; after a brief moment of surprise, she finally realized something and her face turned red at a visible speed, slowly lowering her head as if wishing to bury it in her chest.
