At the gate of the county government, the people who were watching had never seen such a scene before. They had just been watching from a close distance, but when they saw this, they immediately retreated far away, with extremely terrified expressions on their faces. Their hearts were full of doubts and shock. What crime did this person commit that he was beaten to death in public at the gate of Chang'an County Government? This kind of scene was the first time they had seen it in their lives. A man in black walked into the county government and bowed to the elegant man standing in the yard and said, "My Lord, the prisoner has been beaten to death." Li Xuanjing nodded, looked at Pei Zhe, and suddenly said, "My Lord, we haven't seen each other for nearly 20 years since we parted at the Qionglin Banquet in Furong Garden that day, right?" Zhang County Magistrate and Wang County Lieutenant were stunned when they heard this. What, County Magistrate Pei and Lord Li, did they know each other 20 years ago? Pei Zhe forced a smile on his face and said, "Replying to Lord Li, nineteen years." Li Xuanjing said, "Thank you Lord Pei for taking care of Nuo'er these days." Pei Zhe hurriedly said, "No, no, it's actually you who is helping me. I can't thank you enough..."
Li Xuanjing stretched out his hand, and Pei Zhe's face turned pale, but that hand just patted his shoulder lightly and said, "Chang'an is not like other counties. It's not easy to be a county magistrate here. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Dali Temple to find me..." "Thank you Lord Li..." Watching the figure go away, Pei Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he only heard two "plops", and Zhang County Magistrate and Wang County Lieutenant behind him knelt down at the same time, one holding one of his legs, crying with snot and tears. "We were blind before and offended Lord Pei. Lord Pei, please forgive us!" "We will listen to Lord Pei in the future. Please let us go!" Pei Zhe looked at the two people who were frightened to the extreme and said in astonishment: "What are you two adults doing? Didn't we agree that the previous things were over..." Zhang County Magistrate and Wang County Lieutenant felt wronged. In the past, they only thought that County Magistrate Pei was Lord Li's dog. Who would have thought that they were friends for twenty years! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Dali Temple to find me... Who understands, who understands the weight of Lord Li's words? With this promise, County Magistrate Pei can walk sideways in Chang'an in the future. In the eyes of the people, they are high-ranking parents, but in the eyes of the powerful Lord Li, they are no different from ordinary people. The one who was beaten to death at the gate of the county government today was the blind assassin, and tomorrow it could be replaced by the two of them. This is only in the mind of that lord. How can they not be afraid? Pei Zhe personally helped them up, shook his head and said: "You two adults, there is no need to do this. There is no need to mention the past. As the parents of Chang'an, we should work together to help the people solve their problems..." "Yes, yes!" "Master Pei is right!" The two got up from the ground and patted the dust on the hem of their official uniforms. Zhang Xiancheng couldn't help but be curious and asked in a low voice: "Master Pei, why haven't I heard you say before that you know Master Li..." If Pei Xianling had said that he knew Master Li earlier, wouldn't they have knelt down earlier, and there would be no previous things? Pei Zhe glanced at them and said: "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. This official and Master Li are old friends. I don't want too many people to know..."
The two nodded immediately: "I understand, I understand..." Looking at the direction where the figure disappeared, Pei Zhe's expression was trance, and he was lost in memories. In the fourteenth year of Zhisheng, when he was eighteen, he passed the imperial examination and ranked first in the Jinshi exam. He was the top scholar in six subjects, shocking the ancient and modern times, and his name spread all over Chang'an. He was the object of vying for the attention of all the wealthy families, and the dream lover of countless girls in Chang'an. This is Li Xuanjing. That year, he was also eighteen, passed the imperial examination and ranked last in the Jinshi exam. In Furong Garden, at the Qionglin Banquet, Li Xuanjing was surrounded by thousands of people, and he was in great glory. He sat in the corner of the banquet like a minion. It was really a long memory... ... Someone was beaten to death in public at the gate of Chang'an County Yamen. This was not a trivial matter. You should know that Chang'an County Yamen did not have the power to execute death row prisoners. The death penalty order issued by the Chang'an County Magistrate had to be submitted to the Ministry of Justice for review, and finally approved by the Dali Temple before it could be implemented. But this was not a mistake in the caning. Although caning could kill people, the fact that the person was beaten to death with only ten canes showed that the executioner was aiming for caning death from the beginning. Officials in Chang'an County Office did not have the guts to do this. The news spread in a very short time and quickly reached all the high families in Chang'an. With their abilities, they certainly found out the whole story very quickly. Li Xuanjing's son was assassinated on the streets of Chang'an. The assassin was arrested. Li Xuanjing personally came to Chang'an County Office and ordered the assassin to be beaten to death. Even many big figures in Chang'an were stunned for a long time when they heard the news. While admiring the assassin's bravery, they secretly cursed him as a fool in their hearts. This is not the way to seek death. Li Xuanjing is not close to women, his wife died early, and he has only a stupid son. I heard that he is not stupid now. Which brainless guy would assassinate him? Assassinating Li Xuanjing may still have a way to survive. Assassinating his only son and making the Li family extinct, what else is this than seeking death? There are so many people in Chang'an who hate Li Xuanjing, including top dignitaries and even royal nobles. Including those princes who serve as regents, how many people dare to do this openly? This stupid assassin was not cut into pieces or tortured to death by Li Xuanjing, but at least his body was intact, so he should be happy in the underworld. It’s not like he hasn’t done this before. Executed in public, this is a punishment for the assassin, and it is also a deterrent to others. Whoever dares to touch his son in the future will end up like this assassin.
No one sympathizes with the stupid assassin, because they also have children and descendants. If this trend of assassination is not curbed, perhaps one day, the same thing will happen to them. As for whether the execution by beating is in line with the laws of Daxia... Sorry. In Daxia, he is the law. The imperial power has granted special permission to execute first and report later, and he has power over the government and the country, covering the sky with one hand. This is Li Xuanjing, the most treacherous Li Xuanjing in Daxia. Li Mansion. Li Nuo locked himself in the room alone, and the pile of legalist books on the table looked a bit ironic. To be honest, before today, he had great respect for the father of this world. Before him, the Li family was just a humble civilian. After him, the Li family has become the top new nobles of the Great Xia Dynasty. It took less than 20 years. It can be called a legend of a generation. All along, Li Nuo thought he was a righteous pioneer who stood up for the people and punished the traitors. He never expected that he was a traitor who formed a clique for personal gain, abused power, betrayed his trust, embezzled and perverted the law, murdered loyal people, and took human lives lightly... He is still practicing the legalist! The first sword on the shore, kill the old father first? Who is he, can he kill the third-rank official of the dynasty? The third rank is just a superficial rank. The power he really holds is far more than the third rank. He is a big man who really covers the sky with one hand in the court. What's more, he doesn't know how the father and son feel. Maybe he hasn't killed his relatives for the sake of justice, but they have already cleaned up the house and dealt with this rebellious son who rebelled against Tiangang... Li Nuo always felt that Wu Guanjia was nagging and always stopped him from practicing intentionally or unintentionally. Now think about it, you can appreciate his good intentions. Every look and every movement of his was intentional. But he didn't understand it at the time. Li Nuo sighed. He really didn't know what to do. He looked at the Code floating in front of him, feeling confused. Suddenly, Li Nuo's body shook. At some point, the numbers on the Code changed again. "Name: Li Nuo."
"Lifespan: 150 days."
