My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 619 - 382: Returning One’s Way to Them_2

A moment later, a Government Official walked in and said, "Lord Lu, Imperial Censor Li is waiting for you in the front office."

The Governor of Bing State adjusted his official attire and then walked into the front office with a smile on his face. He said, "I wonder what instructions Imperial Censor Li has for me?"

Li Nuo took a sip of tea and said, "Just now, while strolling through the streets, I heard the commoners mention that the son of Governor Lu has opened a Music Workshop in Bing State..."

The Governor of Bing State looked bewildered and said, "I only heard that the court prohibits officials from opening brothels and gambling establishments; does it also apply to Music Workshops? If the court doesn’t allow it, I will immediately have my son close it!"

Li Nuo shook his head and said, "That’s not the case. Music Workshops are certainly allowed. However, I heard that during the expansion of the Music Workshop, it was involved in a murder case. The owner of an adjacent shop was unwilling to sell his shop and was run over and killed in the street. Is there such an incident?"

Governor Lu nodded and said, "Indeed, there is such an incident. After that case occurred, I even ordered the constables to patrol the entire city, prohibiting such reckless behavior on the streets..."

Li Nuo said slowly, "I heard that this case is related to Governor Lu’s son. I wonder where he is now; I need to ask him some questions."

Governor Lu nodded cooperatively and said, "A matter of life and death is involved; it’s only right for Lord Li to question him. However, my son has been out of the city for leisure for several days and has not returned yet. I don’t know where he has gone either, but as soon as he returns, I will inform Lord Li immediately."

Watching Li Nuo leave, Governor Lu’s gaze flickered.

Li Nuo lives up to his name; even though they had ordered everyone to remain silent, it still couldn’t be concealed from him.

Fortunately, he was prepared and sent his son away in advance.

If he could bring Lu Xiu back from that place, he could deal with the situation however he wished, and Governor Lu would have no objection.

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

Dongfang Xuan calculated with his fingers and said, "He’s at the Wang family."

In the following days, Li Nuo visited victims of these cases one by one according to the list provided by Wang Duo.

Without exception, their residences were surrounded by people keeping watch, and all the victims’ families were threatened.

Among them, even when Li Nuo tried to influence them with Cross and Vertical Skill, they refused to speak about the incidents, showing that they were extremely fearful. Without their testimonies, he couldn’t use normal legal means to punish the culprits.

Even though some were willing to testify, Li Nuo couldn’t catch anyone.

All officials sent their criminal offspring to the Wang family; if Li Nuo wanted to deal with them, he had to go to the Wang family to demand them.

Standing in front of the Wang family’s gates, Li Nuo felt as if he had returned to Chang’an, standing in front of the Imperial Palace.

Li Nuo only stood at the Wang family’s gate for a short while before a stewardly old man came out and kindly smiled, "Lord Imperial Censor, please..."

Inside the Wang family, it was extremely grand. Although not as grand as the Imperial Palace, it was more majestic than an ordinary King Mansion, with courtyards nested within courtyards, making it easy to get lost if unfamiliar with the place.

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

Dongfang Xuan raised the teacup, sniffed it, and couldn’t help but say before tasting it, "Good tea!"

Li Nuo also detected a special fragrance from the tea.

The tea leaves weren’t ordinary, and the water wasn’t ordinary either.

From the tea fragrance, Li Nuo sensed a strong Agricultural School aura. He had tasted tea cultivated by agricultural experts, but the taste couldn’t compare to Wang family’s tea, indicating the agricultural experts who cultivated this tea had higher cultivation than those Sinong Si officials.

Not only the tea leaves, even the maid serving the tea wasn’t an ordinary person.

To be precise, they weren’t human at all.

The maids standing behind Li Nuo and Dongfang Xuan were merely Mechanical Puppets, but the craftsmanship was exquisite, lifelike, extremely realistic; ordinary people wouldn’t be able to distinguish them without careful observation.

Li Nuo gently took a sip of tea, filled with fragrance, as if permeating the soul, and he said, "Indeed, it’s good tea."

"To receive praise from the Sixt Subjects’ Scholar is truly an honor," said a figure slowly entering from outside. A man in splendid attire laughed and said, "These tea leaves were meticulously cultivated by the Agricultural School in the Fifth Realm, and the water used for tea comes from the spring deep in the Heavenly Mountain. Only esteemed guests receive such treatment..."

He sat beside the main seat, cupped his hand to Li Nuo, and said, "Wang Yun of the Wang family... I apologize for not welcoming you earlier, Lord Li."

The middle-aged man before them possessed Martial Arts Grandmaster cultivation.

From his self-introduced name, it was clear that this man was the current Wang Family Head. Though such a large family doesn’t have a true sole master, but rather one pushed out to represent the family, his status within the Wang family was still not low.

The Wang Family Head’s attitude towards Li Nuo was very courteous, showing no sign of animosity.

However, in truth, his son had been beheaded by Li Nuo’s father, and his brother, another Martial Arts Genius of the Wang family, also died at his father’s hands. The Wang family’s plans and arrangements within the court had been struck down overnight, returning to decades before...

Despite such deep animosity, he was still able to brew such good tea for Li Nuo and speak with a smiling face; no wonder he could be the Wang Family Head.

Extending one’s hand doesn’t hit a smiling person, Li Nuo politely said, "Wang Family Head, you’re being too polite. To be honest, I’ve come today to investigate a case."

Wang Yun looked puzzled, with a touch of seriousness, and said, "Oh, what case?"
