Chapter 382: Treat Others as They Would Have You Treat Them

Bingzhou.

Within the post house.

Li Nuo flipped through the book in his hand page by page.

This booklet contains detailed records of many cases that occurred in various parts of Bingzhou. The cases involved officials from Bingzhou's prefectural government and various county government offices, as well as some local dignitaries. Li Nuo did not read these cases in the state government's archives. arrive.

If the local government does not register the case, it will naturally not be found in the case files.

In Chang'an, no matter which yamen it is, as long as people complain, a record will be kept.

But in Bingzhou, this doesn't seem to be the case.

In this booklet, there is also an investigation report about Bingzhou written by Wang Duo.

The report stated that the overall public security in Bingzhou was better than that of most prefectures and counties in Daxia, even better than Chang'an. This was because Bingzhou was within the sphere of influence of the Wang family of Jinyang, and there was no one the Wang family could not afford to offend.

Even if you are a wealthy family or a powerful person who moved to Bingzhou from Chang'an, you have to be honest and break the law and you will still be taken to the Yamen for questioning.

The officials of various yamen in Bingzhou either came from the Wang family or were recruited and bribed by the Wang family. In other states and counties, court officials may have to look at the local snakes to act, but in Bingzhou, the Wang family is the biggest local snake.

This makes the public security at the grassroots level very good. Village bullies and unruly people who are common in other places rarely appear in Bingzhou.

Anyone who dares to go against local officials can be easily dealt with by the Wang family without the court taking action.

It has to be said that the dominance of aristocratic families has the benefits of dominance of aristocratic families. It is better for one family to dominate than to be in chaos. The reason why the order of Bingzhou can surpass Chang'an, the role of the Wang family cannot be ignored.

Of course, this is not always a good thing.

Precisely because the entire Bingzhou was under the control of the Wang family, members of the Wang family, officials of the Wang family, and forces closely related to the Wang family were able to override all rules and even laws.

These second-generation officials and second-generation aristocratic families are even more arrogant than the Daxia royal family in Chang'an.

The powerful people still have restrictions from the imperial court. These people in Bingzhou are the real heaven.

Not long after, Li Nuo walked out of the post house.

When he came to a house in Bingzhou, two people on the street not far away immediately changed their expressions.

"not good!"

"Why did he go to that house?"

"Damn it, who told him?"

"I'm here to keep an eye on you. Go back and report!"

Li Nuo knocked on the door of the house. After a while, the door opened. An old woman stuck her head out, looked at the stranger standing at the door, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Nuo smiled and said: "Old man, we are passing by here and want to ask for a drink of water. Is it okay?"

The old woman looked at Li Nuo and then at an old man behind him. She seemed to think that he was not a bad person. She nodded slightly and said, "Come in."

Not long after, the old couple brought two bowls of water, placed them on the table in the courtyard, and asked, "Young man, listen to what you are saying. Are you not from Bingzhou?"

Li Nuo said: "We are from Chang'an."

After hearing this, the old woman was stunned for a while and then said to herself: "Chang'an, Chang'an is good, Chang'an is good. I heard that there is a Mr. Li in Chang'an who specializes in killing corrupt officials. I don't know when he will come to Bingzhou." …”

Unexpectedly, the old couple had also heard of him. Li Nuo asked: "The old man said, is it Li Nuo, the inspection censor?"

The old woman shook her head and said: "His surname is Li, but not Li Nuo. I remember, his name was Li Xuan or something..."

Li Nuo coughed lightly and said: "The person the old man mentioned, Li Xuan, is actually my father. I am the inspection censor of the imperial court. This time I came to Bingzhou to redress the grievances of the people. Old man, you can Do you have any grievances to redress?"

As soon as he said this, the old woman and his wife looked at him and immediately became wary.

The two stood up and took a few steps back. The old woman said: "We have already said that we will not sue you, but you still don't let us go. We listened to your words and refused to go out. Why don't you let us go?" "

Seeing that both of them looked wary, Li Nuo sighed softly and said, "Old man, please believe me. I am really the inspection censor from Chang'an. I came here just to kill corrupt officials..."

His voice contained a strange power. After listening to it, the two old men gradually let down their guard.

"Are you really here to help us?"

"Absolutely true."

After Li Nuo used the vertical and horizontal technique to comfort him, the two old men gradually spoke.

"We have grievances to redress, please make the decision for us!"

"The governor, in order to expand his family's music business, wanted to buy my store by force. My son didn't want to, so he had someone drive a car to hit my son to death in the street..."

"We went to the government office, but they refused to open a case for us. They also threatened us not to tell us about this matter, otherwise we, the old couple, would not be able to survive."

"Two days ago, they sent someone to warn us and not allow us to go out. They said that if anyone asked, we were not allowed to tell anyone about this matter, and we were not allowed to go to the Yamen to complain. They also sent people to watch us outside. …”

…

Li Nuo saw the person watching the old couple outside when he came just now.

At first, he thought it was strange that no matter how good the public security was in Bingzhou, no one would go to the Yamen to redress their grievances. Unexpectedly, it was because these people had already made preparations before he came.

Presumably the other victims on that booklet also received the same surveillance and warning.

at this time.

Bingzhouzhouyamen.

The governor of Bingzhou raised his eyebrows when he heard that Li Nuo had gone to the old woman's home, but he did not show any panic. He had never underestimated the top scholar in six subjects and had already made full preparations.

After a while, a yamen servant walked in and said, "Master Lu, Li Yushi is waiting for you in the front yamen."

The governor of Bingzhou adjusted his official uniform, walked slowly into the front office, with a smile on his face, and said, "I wonder what Yushi Li's orders are?"

Li Nuo took a sip of tea and said, "I was walking on the street just now and heard from the people that the son of Governor Lu opened a music studio in Bingzhou..."

The governor of Bingzhou showed a look of confusion on his face and said: "I only heard that the imperial court prohibited officials from opening brothels and gambling parlors. Could it be that music parlors are also not allowed? If the imperial court does not allow it, I will have Quanzi to close it immediately!"

Li Nuo shook his head and said: "That's not true. Lefang is of course allowed to open. However, I heard that when Lefang expanded, it was involved in a life case. The owner of the store adjacent to Lefang was unwilling to sell the store. , was hit and killed in the street, I wonder if this is the case? "

Governor Lu nodded and said: "It is true. After that case happened, I strictly ordered the police to patrol the whole city to prevent horses and carriages on the streets..."

Li Nuo said slowly: "How did I hear that this case is related to Governor Lu's son? I don't know where he is now. I need to ask him some questions."

Governor Lu nodded and said cooperatively: "Human life is at stake. Master Li should ask him for questioning. However, Quanzi went out to play in the city a few days ago and has not returned yet. I don't know where he went. Wait. When he comes back, I will definitely notify Mr. Li as soon as possible."

Watching Li Nuo leave, Governor Lu's eyes flashed.

Li Nuo was indeed Li Nuo. Even though they had issued a hush-hush order on everyone, they still could not hide it from him.

Fortunately, he was prepared and sent his son away early.

If he could bring Lu Xiu out from that place, he could do whatever he wanted with him, and he would have no problem with it.

After leaving the government office, Li Nuo looked at Dongfang Xuan.

Dongfang Xuan counted with his fingers and said, "He is in the Wang family."

In the next few days, Li Nuo visited the victims of these cases one by one based on the list provided by Wang Duo.

Without exception, their homes were monitored, and all the victims' families were threatened.

Some of them, even if Li Nuo used his tactics to influence them, never mentioned the cases that had happened. This shows that they are extremely afraid. Without their testimony, the culprits cannot be punished through normal legal channels.

Even if some people were willing to testify, Li Nuo didn't catch anyone.

All the officials sent their criminal heirs to the Wang family. If Li Nuo wanted to deal with them, he had to go to the Wang family to ask for them.

Jinyang County.

When standing in front of the gate of the Wang family, Li Nuo had the illusion that he had returned to Chang'an and stood in front of the palace.

Li Nuo only stood in front of Wang's house for a short while, and an old man who looked like a butler came out and said with a kind smile: "Master Yushi, please..."

The Wang family is extremely majestic. Although it is not as impressive as the Royal Palace, it is more majestic than an ordinary palace. There are courtyards nested within courtyards. If you are not familiar with this place, you may get lost.

Li Nuo and Li Nuo were taken to a spacious hall, and soon a young and beautiful maid served fragrant tea.

Dongfang Xuan picked up the tea cup and smelled it. Before he tasted it, he couldn't help but said: "Good tea!"

Li Nuo also smelled a special smell from the tea aroma.

This tea is not ordinary tea, and the water is not ordinary water.

Li Nuo smelled a strong farm scent from the tea aroma. Li Nuo had also tasted tea cultivated by farmers, but the taste was still not comparable to that of the Wang family. This meant that the strong farmers who cultivated this tea were still in cultivation. above the officials of Sinong Temple.

Not only the tea leaves, but also the maid serving the tea are not ordinary people.

To be precise, they are not human at all.

The maids standing behind Li Nuo and Dongfang Xuan are just two machine puppets, but the craftsmanship of these puppets is very good, lifelike, and extremely lifelike. Ordinary people really can't tell the difference without looking carefully.

Li Nuo took a sip of the tea, and the fragrance filled his mouth, as if it penetrated his soul. He said, "It is indeed good tea."

"It's such an honor to be praised as the number one scholar in six subjects." A figure walked in slowly from the outside. The man in rich clothes smiled and said: "This tea is carefully cultivated by farmers in the fifth realm. The water for making tea comes from deep in the Tianshan Mountains." The spring in this place will be used to entertain guests only when distinguished guests come..."

He walked to the main seat and sat down, bowed his hands to Li Nuo, and said, "Wang Yun of the Wang family... I don't know that Mr. Li is here, but he is not welcome from afar."

The middle-aged man in front of him has the cultivation level of a martial arts master.

From the name he reported, we can know that this person is the contemporary head of the Wang family. Although in such a large family, the head of the family is not the real head of the family, but a chess piece that is pushed out to represent the family, but his status in the Wang family It's not low either.

The head of the Wang family was very polite to Li Nuo and didn't seem to have any grudge against him at all.

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)

But in fact, his son was beheaded by Li Nuo's father, and his brother, another martial arts genius of the Wang family, also died at the hands of his father. The Wang family's planning in the court was even more severely affected overnight. Ten years ago…

With such a great hatred, he could still make such good tea for Li Nuo and talk to him with a smiling face. No wonder he could become the head of the Wang family.

Li Nuo extended his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and said politely: "Master Wang, you are so polite. To be honest, I am here today to investigate the case."

Wang Yun looked puzzled and said with some solemnity: "Oh, what case?"

Li Nuo briefly described to him the cases committed by several Wang family members.

When Wang Yun heard this, he looked disbelieving at first, then showed anger and said, "I'm really sorry that these bastards are doing such mischief outside. It's because of the lax discipline of my Wang family. If Mr. Li catches them outside, he must deal with them impartially." , No need to give face to the Wang family!"

The words of the head of the Wang family were impeccable.

The Wang family is a wealthy family, and it is impossible for Li Nuo to search the Wang family inside and outside. As long as the Wang family is willing, he can't search them out at all.

After finishing a cup of tea, Li Nuo stood up and left.

Wang Jiajia mainly gave him a box of good tea cultivated by farmers, but Li Nuo politely declined.

Watching the two figures go away, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

The hatred for killing his son and the murder of his younger brother were irreconcilable. He wanted to cut Li Xuanjing's son into pieces, but as a censor of the imperial court and the son of Li Xuanjing, if something happened within the Wang family's sphere of influence, he would be killed. It drives Li Xuanjing crazy, which is not good for anyone...

After all, many of the Wang family’s children have just passed the Jinshi examination, and this is also for their sake...

"Who is this person?"

A voice suddenly appeared behind him. Wang Yun turned around and immediately bowed: "Ancestor!"

Then, he added: "This man is the son of Dali Temple Minister Li Xuanjing. He came to our Wang family to investigate the case. Those bastards caused trouble outside, and he caught the evidence..."

The old man said in a deep voice: "There is actually an escort from the Yin and Yang family of the sixth realm. This person himself is not a simple person. He has a majestic aura and is only one step away from the fifth realm..."

The head of the Wang family asked in astonishment: "He, Li Xuanjing's son, will soon become a great Confucian?"

Although it is difficult to accept it in my heart, the ancestor’s words should not be false.

Li Nuo's matter was not important. He looked back outside and said in a low voice: "Ancestor, those people have contacted us again. They have definite information. Within this year, Wei and Daxia will inevitably go to war. Opportunities are brewing. In the chaos, whether our Wang family can take over Chang'an depends on this time..."

The old man glanced at him and said coldly: "Stupid, you can't believe a word of the politicians' words. Wei's goal is to annex Daxia. If Daxia dies, the six major families will not be far behind..."

At this time, there was another courtyard of the Wang family.

A young man walked into the yard and smiled: "He's gone!"

As he finished speaking, a group of young people in the hospital visibly relaxed.

Only a young man with a lazy expression said calmly without looking at him: "I told you that no one can take you away from the Wang family. I don't know what you are nervous about..."

"Haha, we don't have the confidence of Prince Wang."

"It seems that even Li Nuo can't do anything to the Wang family."

"Nonsense, this is Jinyang, it's useless for anyone to come..."

…

Three days later, the inspection censor Li Nuo left Bingzhou.

Different from the past where he would kill every time he went to a state, this time during his trip to Bingzhou, he achieved almost no results. When he left, he was even a little embarrassed...

Everyone knew that the person he wanted to arrest was hiding in the Wang family.

He also went to Wang's house.

But no one was taken away from the Wang family.

This incident once again proved that Bingzhou belonged to the Wang family. Even the most powerful patrol censor in history, holding the sword of Shang Fang, had to give in before the Wang family.

Jinyang, inside a certain restaurant.

A group of young people were enjoying a feast.

"What Li Nuo, that's all!"

"Hahaha, didn't you run away like a lost dog?"

"This time, he should know Bingzhou's last name, right?"

"Drink, drink, drink!"

…

A young man raised his head and took a sip of strong wine. The glass wine glass in his hand suddenly fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

He clutched his chest and fell to the ground, his face extremely pale and sweat pouring from his forehead.

After a moment of panic, the crowd immediately gathered around.

"Prince!"

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?"

"Quick, go get the doctor!"

Seeing this, a figure ran out of the restaurant quickly. Not far away was the medical center. When he crossed the road and wanted to ask a doctor to treat Wang Shuo, he was suddenly hit by a speeding carriage and flew several feet away. .

Falling heavily to the ground, his whole body was in great pain. Lu Xiu looked up at the sky, feeling dizzy.

At this moment, his heart was extremely clear, and he even knew that he was about to die.

His father is the governor of Bingzhou. He can do whatever he wants in Bingzhou and die like this. He is not willing to...

But that was his last thought.

The carriage that caused the accident stopped slowly, and the driver jumped out of the carriage and cursed angrily: "You are looking for death, don't you know how to watch the road!"

The figure lying on the ground did not respond. He kicked him, but the figure remained motionless.

He leaned down and felt his breath, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Dead..."

A woman's voice came from the carriage: "Wang Fu, what's wrong?"

The coachman immediately ran back, stood in front of the carriage, and said, "Miss, someone suddenly crossed the road just now and was hit and killed..."

Another woman’s voice came from the carriage: “Little sister, I told you not to drive in the city, but you didn’t listen. Now someone is dead, right?”

Inside the carriage, the woman curled her lips and said, “What’s the matter?”

At this time, the driver seemed to have discovered something and murmured, “Ladies, the one who was hit and killed just now seems to be the son of Governor Lu.”

The woman still didn’t care and said lightly, “So what if he is his son? If he has the guts, he can come to Wang’s house to arrest me…”

She didn’t even look at the body on the roadside and urged, “Go back quickly. My sister-in-law and I have an appointment to appreciate the flowers. Don’t be late…”
