My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 127 - 95 Kill!

He saw the knife pass through his body and, unable to believe it, looked up incredulously at Li Nuo. His lips moved but, in the end, he said nothing.

Li Nuo let go, and Li Yuan’s body fell to the ground lifelessly.

He glanced at the Law Code and saw that the numbers had already updated.

"Lifespan: fifty-one days."

Li Nuo finally took a breath of relief.

Although he didn’t know what he would face tomorrow, at least, he wouldn’t suddenly die tonight.

Li Nuo proactively extended his hands to Pei Zhe and said, "Lord Pei, I apologize for causing you trouble again..."

Pei Zhe felt like crying but had no tears.

Come on, even if you had to kill him, couldn’t you choose a different place? This is where I work, in a government office, for heaven’s sake. No, I must switch offices with County Captain Zhang, if there’s still an after...

Chang’an County Government.

The Dungeon.

This was not Li Nuo’s first visit here, but it was the first time he came as a prisoner.

After killing Li Yuan, Li Nuo had actively requested to be imprisoned by Pei Zhe.

Pei Zhe opened the door to a cell and, with a face filled with sorrow, said, "Young Master, I’m sorry that we have to inconvenience you like this..."

Li Nuo walked into the cell, looked at Song Jiaren, who stood outside, and said, "Wife, you should go back first."

Pei Zhe bowed to them with clasped hands and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, rest assured, this official will take good care of the Young Master."

Housekeeper Wu looked at Li Nuo and said, "Young Master, please endure the hardship of staying here. This old servant will definitely find a way to rescue you."

After leaving the dungeon, Housekeeper Wu instructed four grey-clothed elders to stay at the County Magistrate’s Office. To Song Jiaren, who seemed intent on remaining there, he said with a serious expression, "Young Mistress, you cannot stay here. I need you to go to the Ministry of Justice and inform the old master about this matter..."

Song Jiaren nodded and turned to leave.

Housekeeper Wu sprinted out of the County Magistrate’s Office and headed in another direction.

It was neither the Ministry of Justice nor the Li Mansion.

King Chun Mansion.

Although the sky had already darkened, a grand hall within was still brightly lit.

King Chun was playing chess with a young nobleman. As they played, he shook his head and said, "Your chess skills are too poor, you’re a complete beginner. You’re nowhere near as good as Uncle Li; it’s not satisfying to play against you..."

The young nobleman protested, "If it were Uncle Li, he would be the one dissatisfied. Father, your chess skills are just a tiny bit better than mine, what’s there to boast about..."

After a few rounds of playful insults, someone hurried in and bowed, "Your Highness, Housekeeper Wu from the Li Mansion requests an audience."

King Chun’s face lit up with joy, he lost interest in the chess game and walked briskly out of the hall. Smiling at the figure waiting there, he said, "Old Wu, it’s been some time since we last met. Come in, come in, join me for a game of chess..."

Housekeeper Wu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, please forget the chess for now. This old servant is here because there is a matter of great urgency that requires your assistance."

King Chun was startled upon hearing this. If Housekeeper Wu sought his help, it implied the matter was extraordinary and even the Minister of Justice, the head of their household, couldn’t handle it.

His expression turned somber as he asked sternly, "What is it?"

After a moment, King Chun gaped in disbelief and said, "What, my worthy nephew killed the Marquis Yunyang’s eldest son?"

Housekeeper Wu nodded and briefly recounted the grudges of the past two days and the assassination attempt that happened that day to King Chun.

King Chun stroked his chin, murmuring, "Killing a noble’s son, the future second-class Marquis, that’s a capital offense. If Li Yun had done it, it wouldn’t be too bad. But with Li Nuo, it’s indeed a bit troublesome..."

The young man standing behind King Chun looked speechless. What did he mean it wouldn’t be too bad if he did it? Even the Prince of King Chun couldn’t just casually kill nobles’ offspring.

Was his father thinking of making him take the fall?

No, no, no, he was still his father’s son, his only son; surely he wouldn’t do that.

King Chun suddenly turned to Housekeeper Wu and asked, "How many people witnessed this incident?"

Housekeeper Wu nodded, "Quite a few."

King Chun sighed and said, "Then it won’t work..."

If no one had seen it, Li Yun could take the blame, and at most, he’d be confined for some time.

But if there were many witnesses, they couldn’t secretly substitute one person for another or pull off a switcheroo.

He patted Housekeeper Wu on the shoulder and reassured him, "Don’t worry, the Marquis of Yunyang has so many sons, losing one or two won’t make a difference. Tomorrow, I’ll speak to him. If he agrees not to pursue the matter, it will be much easier to resolve. But if he insists on an investigation, I still have a Death Exemption Token, so don’t worry too much. Just take it easy..."
