My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 457 - 317 Secret Observation
Since the Yin Yang School said that Yiren would break through to the Grandmaster Realm within this year, she practiced even harder.
Last night, before Li Nuo went to bed, she was still practicing.
When he woke up in the morning, she had already gotten up and started a new day of cultivation.
In most cases, a martial artist needs several years, or even longer, to hope to advance to the Grandmaster Realm after reaching the Fourth Realm Peak.
Li Nuo even thought, if that old man hadn't told her that she would advance to Grandmaster this year, she might not have worked so hard.
And precisely because she had a strong expectation in her heart and started to cultivate more diligently, she advanced to Grandmaster sooner.
The relationship between them, the Yin Yang School themselves probably couldn't explain clearly either.
The Yin Yang Technique has been around for hundreds of years, but many things they do not have a conclusive opinion internally.
At noon, the Sixth Princess came to the small courtyard.
Zhao Zhiyi greeted Song Yiren who was practicing, then walked into the room and smiled, asking Li Nuo, "Does Lord Li have some free time today?"
Li Nuo replied, "Apart from teaching at the academy in the afternoon, there's nothing else."
Zhao Zhiyi said, "The thing is, last year's dossiers sent from various states have not been reviewed by the Ministry of Justice. I know Lord Li is good at judging cases. I wonder if you could help the Ministry of Justice review them?"
Li Nuo smiled and said, "Of course, I can."
Generally speaking, the Ministry of Justice is supposed to review the local dossiers by the end of the year.
Although the Sixth Princess requested help, she was undoubtedly presenting him a favor in a subtle way.
Dealing with such smart people is indeed pleasant.
The Ministry of Justice was not far from there, seeing Yiren was diligently practicing, Li Nuo did not let her accompany him and went along with the Sixth Princess.
On the way to the Ministry of Justice, Li Nuo remembered something and looked at the Sixth Princess next to him, asking, "Has the Yin Yang School ever said how I should help the Fourth Prince?"
Zhao Zhiyi shook her head and said, "Master Gongsun only said, as long as we find you, everything will follow fate."
It was either fate or destiny...
The Yin Yang School is a group of enigmatic people.
Li Nuo himself didn't know what he should do, but since she said so, he might as well leave everything to fate.
Zhao Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "According to past practices, helping our elder brother build significant political achievements is one aspect, but more importantly, gaining the support of some influential courtiers in the court..."
Generally, the more outstanding the achievements of a prince, the more it shows their capability and ability to employ people, making them more suitable to inherit the throne.
But the fact is, the support of courtiers is more important than achievements.
Those influential courtiers, who truly hold the power of speech, will not easily take sides.
Even the princes who have been operating in Zhao Country for many years find it difficult to recruit even one of them, let alone him, a foreign envoy who just arrived in Zhao Country a few days ago.
As they were about to reach the Ministry of Justice, Li Nuo suddenly looked back.
Zhao Zhiyi looked back and saw nothing, she asked, "What's wrong?"
On the crowded street, Li Nuo looked around a few more times, then shook his head and said, "Nothing."
As the two entered the Ministry of Justice, in a tea house on the opposite street, a fortune-telling old man looked at the gaunt old man and asked, "How is it?"
The gaunt old man said indifferently, "This person still has nearly thirty years to live."
The fortune-telling old man glanced at him. He still has nearly thirty years now, but a few days ago, it was only fifteen years, and a year and a half ago, it was only half a year.
Not only that, his lifespan fluctuates, each time the calculation is different, which is enough to show that fate is full of changes.
But without letting the other party see it with their own eyes, this stubborn old man wouldn't believe it.
He sat in the chair, unhurriedly said, "Wait for him to come out of the Ministry of Justice, and calculate once more."
According to his observation, every time he exits the Ministry of Justice, his lifespan must change.
Although his expression was calm, his heart was also filled with doubts at the moment.
Just now, he calculated Li Nuo's cultivation.
But his future, like that woman's, was also blank.
It couldn't be that he would become a Magic Saint in the future, right?
Out of curiosity, he also calculated the Zhao Country princess beside Li Nuo.
Strangely, he couldn't even calculate her cultivation.
For a Sixth Realm practitioner of the Yin Yang School to be unable to calculate an ordinary person's cultivation, it would be laughed at if spread out.
He didn't dare to tell the old man beside him.
If the other party could calculate it, wouldn't it make him look incompetent?
However, this also changed his previous views.
Not being able to calculate cultivation doesn't mean the other party is in the Seventh Realm.
They couldn't all be in the Seventh Realm in the future, right?
That is the realm of Saints, not cabbage.
It seems the problem lies with him.
The ancestors of the Dongfang Family, after reaching the Sixth Realm, many began to doubt the Yin Yang Technique itself, and ultimately went mad and died. He thought, he might be close too, maybe he'd even pass before that old fellow from the Nangong Family...
...
Ministry of Justice.
Li Nuo and the Sixth Princess walked into the courtyard of the Ministry of Justice, seeing quite a few figures standing outside the hall.
Inside the hall, the sound of the gavel could be heard, indicating an ongoing trial.
The two walked past these people, and just as they were about to enter an office, Li Nuo glanced back and said to Zhao Zhiyi, "The murderer is the tall man standing under the right corridor, and the woman with the largest chest among the crowd is his accomplice..."
Zhao Zhiyi glanced back, her red lips slightly parted.
He didn't even know what case it was, yet just by passing by he could identify the murderer?
This scene shocked her more than when he solved the case at the Daxia Embassy.
After entering the office, she said to Li Nuo, "Lord Li, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Li Nuo waited for more than a quarter of an hour before Zhao Zhiyi stepped back into the office.
She looked at Li Nuo with eyes full of shock and confusion.
After his reminder, she had the people of the Ministry of Justice apprehend those two immediately and interrogated them separately.
At first, they still tried to lie, but the experienced government officers soon broke through the woman's defenses. She admitted on the spot that she conspired with her lover to kill her husband for his inheritance, and then framed a burglar.
She looked at Li Nuo, her lips moved and she asked, "Lord Li, how did you know they were the murderers?"
Li Nuo replied, "After handling many cases, one naturally develops an intuition for murderers. At first glance, I felt something was off with them."
Zhao Zhiyi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Now I understand why they wanted you to solve the case at the Embassy back then..."
Witnessing this shocking scene, her eyes suddenly brightened and she said, "The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice have accumulated many old unsolved cases that have never been solved, do you think you can solve them, Lord Li?"
If these old unsolved cases could be solved, it would undoubtedly be another impressive political achievement.
Li Nuo nodded and said, "I can give it a try."
Although old unsolved cases can't automatically identify the murderer, he can still manually do so.
Unless it's a case with no clues at all, as long as there are reasonable suspects, old unsolved cases can still be cracked.
When he was in Daxia, he actually had his eyes on the old unsolved cases too.
But there were few old unsolved cases in the Daxia Ministry of Justice, and those few were ones without any clues, the rest had all been solved by the Ministry of Justice.
Before doing this, he had to handle the files of the Ministry of Justice first.
The files in the Zhao Country's Ministry of Justice were much fewer than those in Daxia.
The murder rate was also a magnitude lower than in Daxia.
As a courtier of Daxia, although these words might be considered treasonous, it was a common belief that the Emperor of Zhao Country was a benevolent ruler dedicated to his responsibilities, while the Emperor of Daxia, Anning's Father Emperor, was the epitome of a foolish ruler...
For ten years, he neglected state affairs, disregarded the country, and single-mindedly pursued the elusive dream of immortality; he truly didn't fear the historian's pen.
Li Nuo took less than half a day to finish handling these files.
He differentiated between files with issues and those without, according to usual practice.
After handling the last file, he set down his pen and stretched his body.
Zhao Zhiyi handed over a peeled apple and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Li."
Li Nuo took the apple and said, "No need to thank me, Princess, I should be thanking you."
This past half day, not only did his cultivation increase a bit, but his lifespan also extended by over a hundred days.
Zhao Zhiyi, though a princess, had been serving tea and water, handing over papers, and grinding ink by his side, making Li Nuo feel somewhat embarrassed.
Soon after, the two walked out of the Ministry of Justice.
In a teahouse across the street from the Ministry of Justice, a withered old man tapped his fingers and stood up from his chair, frowning, "How could it be..."
In half a day, his lifespan had increased by more than a hundred days.
The fortune-telling old man looked at him and asked, "This time, what do you have to say?"
The withered old man slowly sat down again and said, "How do you know this isn't part of his fate? Maybe he encountered some fortuitous opportunity."
The fortune-telling old man said, "You might as well say that a Sixth Realm Yin Yang master in the Ministry of Justice transferred their lifespan to him just now, do you even believe such an explanation?"
The withered old man fell silent.
If a person's fate changes, there must be a reason, and most likely it involves a Yin Yang master.
This was the first time he encountered someone whose lifespan inexplicably increased so much...
It shook the very core of what he had believed all his life.
He had to figure this out. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Otherwise, he wouldn't die in peace.
He looked at the fortune-telling old man and said, "Lend me a year of your lifespan."
The fortune-telling old man waved his hand decisively and said, "No way!"
