My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 633 - 387: Phoenix’s Dilemma
Chapter 633: Chapter 387: Phoenix’s Dilemma
Xuan State.
Du Family entrance.
The Du Family Master was escorting Li Nuo and his entourage to the door, clasped his hands in salute, and said, "Thank you, Lord Li, for your assistance during this time."
Li Nuo returned the gesture with his own salute, saying, "To heal the sick is the duty of a physician; no need for thanks."
The two from the Cui Family had been waiting early outside the Du Mansion.
In recent days, relying on the prescription given by Li Nuo, although the illness of the patients in the mansion had been temporarily suppressed, a complete cure required his personal visit to the Cui Family.
To express sincerity, prior to this, the Cui Family had been actively printing his works in their affiliated bookstores.
Moreover, they had used the family’s power to conduct stringent investigations against corruption and lawlessness among officials and gentry in Longnan, as well as the abuse of common people. The jails in various County Magistrate’s Offices were already filled, just waiting for him to pronounce judgment.
Of course, those people did not include officials and gentry who had close relations with them.
"Let’s go, curing the illness is the priority."
Li Nuo waved his hand lightly, and under the feet of several people, an invisible cloud appeared.
The Du Family Master watched as Li Nuo rode the cloud and took several people away, stroking his short beard beneath his chin, praising, "Such swift speed, the Righteous Qi Cloud lives up to its name..."
Above the cloud layer, Gu Yanran held onto Li Nuo’s sleeve, looking at the mountains and rivers below. The expression on her pretty face gradually shifted from fear to wonder.
The two Grandmasters from the Cui Family collaborated to sustain a shield of True Qi; otherwise, at their current speed, they would surely be unable to maintain their form in the fierce winds of high altitude.
Watching the scenery below recede rapidly, the two were marveling in their hearts.
As Grandmasters, although they could also walk on air, to fly so fast and so steady, only the Confucian’s Righteous Qi Cloud could achieve.
Such a young Great Scholar is truly the first of his kind throughout history.
At the Fourth Realm of Confucianism, one can comprehend the law of "Yu" among the Six Arts, ride the Righteous Qi Cloud, and claim to be the fastest among all schools, incomparable at the same realm.
In less than half a day, Li Nuo brought them to the Cui Family.
At this moment, within the Cui Family, there were not only members of the Cui Family but also those from the Pei Family, Lu Family, Zheng Family, and the Six Great Families of Daxia were all present.
This epidemic, starting from the Du Family and spreading through the Pei Mansion’s birthday banquet, had fully disseminated; all the families had fallen victim, and some of the medium and small families that attended the banquet were not spared.
Fortunately, the epidemic’s subsequent transmissibility was weak, and after each family implemented scientific preventive measures as outlined in the "medical manual," it did not spread widely.
They gathered at the Cui Family to seek medicine.
The hall was in chaotic uproar, Li Nuo extended his palm and gently pressed down, and the noisy sound gradually ceased.
Li Nuo’s gaze swept over them and he said, "I understand your situation, but this epidemic is extremely stubborn. I need to personally contact the patients to completely cure them; however, I am only one person and cannot divide myself, needing to visit one family at a time, I hope you all understand..."
"We understand, we understand."
"After the Cui Family, Lord Li, please come to our Lu Family; the Lu Family has already apprehended many corrupt officials and unruly civilians, just waiting for Lord Li to deal with them!"
"Mr. Lu, step back for a moment, it was our Pei Family who arranged first!"
"Why argue, why argue, we are closer to the Zheng Family here, by reason should visit the Zheng Family first!"
...
Though the Six Great Families usually had occasional disputes over interests, generally they remained harmonious, but today they were quarreling intensely at the Cui Family.
After all, it was their wives and children who were sick, and a day’s delay in treatment means another day’s suffering.
The Pei Family made the first arrangements with Li Nuo, so naturally he couldn’t break his promise.
Regarding the Lu Family and Zheng Family, Li Nuo did not give them a clear answer, only said, "We’ll see."
No one knows exactly what circumstances Lord Li’s "we’ll see" referred to, but he asked particularly about the number of corrupt officials and unruly people apprehended by the Lu Family, which was quite intriguing.
None representing the families aren’t old foxes; it’s not hard to guess his intention.
This Lord Imperial Censor doesn’t want silver, nor is he interested in beauties, he is solely passionate about solving cases and publishing books. It is likely whichever family, Lu or Zheng, satisfies him more in these aspects, he would visit first...
...
Within the serene courtyard prepared long ago for Li Nuo by the Cui Family.
Gu Yanran was processing a stack of case dossiers, while at another desk, Li Nuo held a pen, immersed in thought.
The Six Great Families monopolized many of Daxia’s industries, bookstores included.
They assumed Li Nuo was publishing books to gain fame and were quite cooperative in this regard. Li Nuo’s cultivation in the School of Calligraphy rapidly advanced, smoothly breaking into the Second Realm recently, but the speed of cultivation growth has slowed down these days.
It wasn’t that the Six Great Families were playing tricks on him; the books Li Nuo had them publish were poetry collections or Imperial Examination guidebooks.
This category of books’ audience generally had higher education, mostly scholars of the Imperial Examination, but compared to the population of Daxia citizens, their numbers were vastly fewer.
Calligraphy cultivation isn’t just about printing books.
It’s more about having their works seen by more people.
So, Li Nuo felt the necessity to write something more accessible, like novels, but upon careful consideration, things were far from simple.
Li Nuo had traveled across Daxia in recent months, gaining deep insight into the situation of the grassroots populace of Daxia.
Daxia’s educational rights were nearly monopolized by Great Families and medium-small families, common people’s literacy rate was appallingly low; they can’t even recognize words, let alone spend money to buy expensive books.
