My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 247 - 129 Arbitrary Li Xuanjing_3

At the beginning of the month, at court, someone said that catching thieves was the responsibility of the County Magistrate and that setting up the Anti-theft Bureau was superfluous.

In fact, the establishment of the Anti-theft Bureau proved to be anything but superfluous.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Among the crowd, an official stood out and said, "The Ministry of Justice’s Anti-theft Bureau has captured hundreds of thieves within half a month, the achievements are clear for all to see, I suggest setting up Anti-theft Bureaus in each prefecture. Does anyone object?"

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

The court fell silent.

The official who spoke was an Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice and also Li Xuanjing’s spokesman at court.

His words represented Li Xuanjing’s will.

The three officials who had opposed him last time were taken away by the Spiegel Bureau immediately after court, and Li Xuanjing did not even pretend to care.

Who would dare to oppose him this time?

Officials below the fourth rank who opposed him would have to spend the night in the cells of either the Spiegel Bureau or the Ministry of Justice.

Those above the fourth rank, if targeted by Li Xuanjing, would soon find themselves in trouble.

And even higher-ranking officials wouldn’t oppose Li Xuanjing over such small matters unrelated to their own interests.

At their level, if they did act, it would be earth-shattering.

Seeing no opposition, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice said, "Since there is no opposition, I request the lords of the three provinces to quickly issue detailed rules so that we can implement them sooner and the people can benefit earlier..."

Crash!

King Rui Mansion.

After leaving court, King Rui returned to his mansion and smashed everything he had seen into pieces.

"Li Xuanjing, I must kill you!"

He gasped heavily, squeezing these words out from his throat.

Half a month ago, the three officials taken by the Spiegel Bureau had been placed in their positions at great cost by him, and overnight, all had fallen into Li Xuanjing’s hands.

He had gone to the Father Emperor to complain, accusing Li Xuanjing of acting autonomously, but he didn’t even get to see the Father Emperor’s face.

Yesterday’s court session, with Li Xuanjing bringing up old grievances, not a single official dared oppose.

He nearly ground his teeth to dust above, yet he could not go against the current.

If it weren’t for Li Xuanjing, his power at court would at least double. His hatred for Li Xuanjing exceeded even that for his power-rivaling elder brothers.

"Your Highness, calm down, don’t harm your health..."

A sinister voice emerged from behind him, and as he saw a figure approaching from the shadows, King Rui’s face twisted with fury. He said, "If not for your repeated failures, how could Li Xuanjing’s son still be alive? This scoundrel has repeatedly ruined our plans, only by crushing his family can this king’s hatred be appeased..."

The sinister man lowered his head, saying, "The Heavenly Mountain Seven Killers failed last time, his guard has grown even stronger than before, to kill him, we might have to ask the Grandmaster to intervene..."

"Then go ask!"

King Rui’s expression darkened, and he said through clenched teeth, "I want his line ended, no matter the cost!"

Ministry of Justice.

Inside the government office, Li Nuo, looking at Li Anning, asked in surprise, "You’re leaving Chang’an, for how long?"

"About a month," replied Li Anning.

"So long?" Li Nuo asked, taken aback.

"I must guard my mother’s tomb for a month before I return," Li Anning explained.

Li Nuo nodded and said, "Go ahead without worry, I’ll handle things here."

With the Anti-theft Bureau now well-established, they no longer needed to exert themselves over its affairs. If any cases arose during this time, he would handle them.

Thinking of the office soon being empty save for himself, Li Nuo felt somewhat unaccustomed.

Yet the thought of having the whole office to himself, sitting in her chair, sleeping in her bed, seemed not too bad either.

Li Anning glanced at him and asked, "Are you glad I’m leaving?"

Li Nuo waved his hands, "No, how could that be..."

As he began to explain, his body suddenly shivered slightly, as if he heard something shatter inside him.

Li Anning also widened her eyes in astonishment.

Li Nuo extended his hand, and with a thought, a phantom whip appeared on it.

Laws Whip, the symbol of the Second Realm of Legalism.

Amidst his jubilation, Li Nuo also felt somewhat perplexed.

Breaking through the First Realm of Legalism was not supposed to be easy, but he had bizarrely advanced without doing anything, which wasn’t what the books said...
