"mother!" After a shrill voice, the scholar in green shirt quickly ran towards the house. Halfway through the run, his body suddenly stopped again, and he moved step by step with difficulty, as if he wanted to confirm something, but it was difficult to accept the result of the confirmation. Everyone in the hospital sighed sadly when they saw this scene of true love. He walked to the door and saw the straw mat covered with white cloth. His body softened and he almost collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, two neighbors quickly supported him. In the end, the scholar in green shirt forced himself to hold on and slowly walked in. Soon, heartbreaking sounds came from the room. "Mom, why are you so stupid!" "Why don't you wait for me!" "There will definitely be a way. When I make money, I will definitely let the gods cure your disease!" "mother!"
… The screams made those who heard them sad and those who saw them shed tears. This was truly a human tragedy. The crowd was sobbing constantly. Even Butler Wu and the four guards around Li Nuo sighed. The woman in black wiped her tears and inadvertently glanced at the good-looking young official from Chang'an County Government Office. She found that not only was he unmoved, his face was also very cold, which was in sharp contrast to the people around him. What? As a court official, he has no sympathy at all. Can such a person be a good parent official? She quite liked him originally. After all, in today's imperial court, officials who practice law are really rare. It's hard to find someone with the same philosophy. I didn't expect him to be so hard-hearted... This made her good impression of him disappear in an instant. As time passed, the people watching in the courtyard gradually dispersed. I don't know how long it took, but the scholar in green shirt walked out of the room, walked to the yard, wiped his tears with his sleeves, bowed to everyone in the Chang'an County Government Office and the Criminal Department, and said in a hoarse voice: " I’m causing trouble to all the adults..." Wang Xianwei sighed, patted his shoulder gently, and said: "The deceased has passed away, and the living should live well." He took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it in the hands of the green-shirted scholar. His eyes were full of hope and he said: "This is a little thought from me. Please take care of your mother's funeral, and then go back to the academy to study and strive for the gold medal next year." Title, don’t disgrace our Qingfeng Academy.” The scholar in green shirt held the ingot of silver tightly and choked with sobs: "Thank you, sir!" When the woman in black saw this, she also took out a piece of silver and said to the scholar in green: "Your mother did not hesitate to sacrifice her life for you to make her funeral arrangements grand. She knows well and will do it." Happy..." She casually took a bamboo basket that was drying in the yard, put the ingot of silver in it, and then holding the bamboo basket, she walked past the police officers from the Ministry of Punishments and Chang'an County Government. Everyone also consciously took out some copper coins and Broken silver is placed in a bamboo basket. When he reached Li Nuo, he stopped. She looked at Li Nuo. Li Nuo looked at her. Seeing that Li Nuo didn't say anything, she licked her lips at the bamboo basket.
Li Nuo understood what she meant, shook his head and said, "I have no money." The woman in black frowned and said, "Even your county police officer has donated, but you don't donate. As a court official, why are you so unsympathetic?" Li Nuo really has no money. He has never touched money in this world for so long. Whatever you need to buy when you go out, Butler Wu or Madam will pay for it. He looked at the woman in black and said, "I am not a court official." "You are not a court official?" The woman in black was stunned, and then said: "You are not a court official, what are you doing here? No, you are not an official, how did you become a legal practitioner? Don't lie to me..." Li Nuo murmured in his heart that she couldn't be a court official. How did she become a legal practitioner? Not only did she become a practitioner, her cultivation was much higher than him... At this time, a police officer from the Criminal Department stepped forward and whispered a few words in her ear. The woman in black's eyes widened, apparently shocked by the news. She stared straight at Li Nuo and said in disbelief: "He is Li Xuanjing's son? Li Xuanjing's son is a cultivator, are you kidding... " Li Nuo took back the idea that this woman was very similar to his wife. The lady doesn't talk as much as she does. He looked at the people from the Punishment Department and asked, "Hasn't your Punishment Department already closed the case? Why haven't you left yet?" After discovering that this woman was also a cultivator, Li Nuo became wary of her. Legalism is not martial arts. Everyone practices their own way without affecting each other. The number of criminals is limited. If someone catches one more, someone will catch one less. Therefore, Legalist disciples are actually in a competitive relationship, and Li Nuo does not want her case to be taken away by her. The woman in black had already planned to leave, but upon hearing these words, she was aroused to have a rebellious psychology. She wanted to hug her chest with her hands, but she couldn't hold them at all, so she had to put them behind her back and said, "Who said that the Ministry of Punishment has closed the case, and I have discovered some doubtful points in this case, can't I?" Li Nuo crossed his chest and asked, "What's the suspicion?" The woman in black's eyes rolled around and said: "I..." After much deliberation, I couldn't think of a reason, so I had to puff my chest out: "Why should I tell you?" Li Nuo was forced to take a step back and did not want to get too entangled with her on this issue. He had no intention of quarreling with her. Since this person's portrait appeared in the code, it meant that this person was directly related to his mother's death. The case was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface. He looked at the scholar in green shirt and asked, "Your name is Han Zhuo, a student of Qingfeng Academy?" The scholar in green shirt looked sad: "Yes." Li Nuo glanced at County Lieutenant Wang and said, "Come with us to the county government office." Everyone was slightly stunned. Someone else's mother had just died, and he hadn't had time to prepare for her funeral. Why would he take her to the county government office?
Li Nuo explained: "After all, it is a murder case. He is the son of the deceased. When Mr. Pei closes the case, he needs to provide some confessions. He also needs to be present when the deceased cancels his household registration. As well as the neighbors, they are also asked to leave. Let’s go to the county government office..." Although Li Nuo already knew that the old woman's death was closely related to his son Han Zhuo, he did not point it out directly. One reason is that he needs to do some research first. Another reason is that there is only one case, but there are two legal practitioners. It's not that Li Nuo is stingy and doesn't want to share the credit with her. It's really about his wealth and life. What he shares is not his credit, but his life. Besides, the other party didn't find anything and directly decided it was suicide. He didn't count as a solitary eater. Li Nuo's explanation is reasonable and well-founded. When a person dies in the county, the relatives of the deceased do have to go to the county government office to cancel the account. If a new baby is born, they also have to go to the county government office to report. The county government uses this to calculate the annual population in the jurisdiction. increase or decrease. The woman in black frowned and said: "There is no rush to close the account. Death is the most important thing, so it is better to bury the deceased in peace as soon as possible. After he has settled the funeral arrangements for his mother, he will not go to the county government to close the account." Late." Li Nuo said: "If you go back quickly, half an hour is enough. After the completion, I will have someone send him back on a fast horse, so nothing will be delayed." After that, he said to Butler Wu: "You should send someone to buy a good coffin now and send it here, buy some funeral supplies, and invite some monks and Taoists to pay homage to the old man. We will spend all the money on the old man's funeral." Li Mansion has taken the responsibility..." After hearing these words, everyone in the Punishment Department couldn't help but feel ashamed of what they had just thought. I thought this gentleman was a penny-pinching miser, but I didn't expect that he was more thoughtful. This academy student has just lost a relative. How could he have the time to prepare for such a complicated matter? It would be useless to give him more money... The scholar in green shirt also had a grateful face, cupped his fists and bowed to Li Nuo: "Thank you, sir!" Li Nuo patted his shoulder lightly and said, "My condolences, if you encounter any difficulties, you can go to the county government office to find us." The scholar in green shirt thanked him again. County Lieutenant Wang took him and selected several neighbors to go to the county government office to provide testimony. Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the courtyard with Butler Wu. When he was about to get on the carriage, he turned around and almost ran into two groups of soldiers. Full and plump. Fortunately, he braked in time. Li Nuo looked at the woman in black and asked, "Why are you following us if you don't go back to the Criminal Department?" The woman in black stared straight at Li Nuo with a pair of bright eyes like autumn water, and said: "I suspect you want to eat alone."
