Madam, protect me!

The Imperial Palace of Zhao.

As soon as the morning court was over, the ministers walked out of the Golden Palace one after another.

In the past few days, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have solved many old cases.

Before the court was dismissed, His Majesty specially praised the officials of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple.

At the same time, the Fourth Prince was also rewarded.

Because these cases were solved by the Fourth Prince's men.

First, the largest thief organization was wiped out in one fell swoop, and then a large number of old cases were cleared up. The Fourth Prince has made outstanding achievements in this regard. His Majesty specially ordered him to temporarily take over the power of the criminal law of Zhao.

This means that the Fourth Prince can let the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple temporarily obey him.

Although this does not mean that he can completely control the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, it at least shows that His Majesty recognizes his achievements.

The other three princes did not have such treatment.

Although they also provided porridge to the victims, appeared in person every month to provide relief to the orphans and widows, and distributed food to the poor, they did not have many such real achievements.

Moreover, the Fourth Prince was also doing what they were doing.

Originally, the Fourth Prince did not have much presence in the court.

But in just half a month, he repeatedly showed up in front of the ministers and His Majesty.

This was not a good thing for the other princes.

After the court, the faces of the three princes were not good.

They naturally knew what happened in the Ministry of Justice.

But they could only watch.

With so many eyes watching, they could not stop others from doing things for the court and the people.

Until now, they still couldn't figure out why that person chose King Sheng.

Judging from his current situation, King Sheng gave him nothing, but he was willing to serve King Sheng.

And they didn't know how many times they sent people to recruit him, but he didn't want silver, he didn't want a house, he didn't accept a woman, and he didn't even take a look at all kinds of antiques and treasures... What was he looking for?

Through their investigation, he had no other hobbies, only beautiful women.

The three most famous beauties in Daxia were all his wives.

Speaking of beauties...

The most outstanding beauty in the capital is the sixth sister.

Could it be that he was after the sixth sister?

No wonder the sixth sister was with him every day. It turned out that she sent herself away.

They really had no choice. The only princess of the royal family who was of marriageable age and unmarried was the sixth sister. They couldn't turn out a young and beautiful sister.

They could only comfort themselves. Although King Sheng recruited a capable person, he couldn't change the overall situation.

So what if he made some achievements? Not many officials in the court supported him. He couldn't sit in that position...

...

The embassy courtyard.

On a rare day of free time, when Li Nuo and Yiren were cooking, the sixth princess brought good news.

The fourth prince had successfully taken charge of the criminal law of Zhao. It would be more convenient for Li Nuo to investigate cases in the Ministry of Justice in the future.

However, before the fourth prince ascended the throne, he could not take action against the guilty officials and dignitaries of Zhao through the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple.

If too many people are involved, the fourth prince will become the target of public criticism.

His father has already told him this truth.

He still has to endure for a while.

After dinner, the Sixth Princess suggested taking Li Nuo and Yi Ren out for a walk.

These days, Li Nuo has been busy investigating cases and teaching, and Yi Ren has not slackened her practice, so it would be good to go out and relax.

Walking on the street with the two beauties on the left and right, the rate of turning back is quite high.

Fortunately, Li Nuo has long been accustomed to this.

The two of them walked into a jewelry store. The Sixth Princess wanted to give Yi Ren a few pieces of jewelry. While they were choosing jewelry, Li Nuo went outside the store to wait.

In the store, from the shopkeeper to the customers, they were all women, and he was the only man, which always felt a little strange.

At a certain moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from the street ahead.

Li Nuo looked and found an old woman fainted on the street.

The passers-by around were watching from a distance.

Li Nuo walked over quickly and felt her pulse first. He found that her pulse was very weak. Then he helped the old woman up and let her sit on the steps on the street. He pressed several acupuncture points on her palm.

After a while, the old woman slowly opened her eyes. She obviously knew what happened. She smiled at Li Nuo and said, "Thank you, young man."

The old woman was extremely weak and should not be outside alone. Li Nuo asked, "Old man, where are your family members?"

The old woman said, "I came out alone."

Li Nuo said, "Where is your home? I'll take you back."

The old woman shook her head and said, "No, I'll rest for a while and I can go back by myself."

Li Nuo said, "You are very weak. It's best not to walk. Anyway, I have nothing to do. You walk back alone. What if something happens again..."

The old woman heard this and did not refuse again. Instead, she pointed in a direction and said, "Then I'll trouble you. My home is in that direction..."

When Li Nuo carried her on his back and walked to the door of the jewelry store, the Sixth Princess and Yiren also came out.

The Sixth Princess looked at Li Nuo and said in surprise: "This is..."

Li Nuo explained what happened and went with them to send the old woman back.

He carried her for half a street and soon arrived at the old woman's home.

Li Nuo looked at the vermilion gate in front of him and was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that this old man was dressed simply and came from a wealthy family.

He walked into the house carrying the old woman on his back and saw many people standing in the yard, all of them looked anxious and panicked.

One of the middle-aged men was furious and said in a deep voice: "How did you do it? You don't even know that the old lady is missing!"

At this time, someone finally found Li Nuo and the other two and exclaimed.

"It's the old lady!"

"The old lady is back!"

The middle-aged man heard this and suddenly turned around. When he saw the old lady on Li Nuo's back, he was relieved and ran over to ask with concern: "Mom, where have you been..."

The old woman said: "I was bored at home, so I secretly went out for a walk and get some fresh air. Don't blame them."

The middle-aged man was angry and helpless, and said: "You know your body. The imperial doctor told you to rest well and not run around, but you didn't listen. Dad just passed away. What if something happens to you..."

Li Nuo put the old woman down and said to the middle-aged man: "The old lady just fainted on the street. She is very weak. If she wants to go out for some fresh air, it's best to have someone to help her."

The two maids helped the old woman from Li Nuo's hands.

The middle-aged man looked at him and said gratefully: "Thank you for sending my mother back..., housekeeper, go to the account office and withdraw 100 taels for this little brother."

Li Nuo waved his hand and said: "No need for silver, the old man has already delivered it, and we should leave."

The middle-aged man held his hand and said: "No, no, no, please give me a chance to thank you, I must accept this silver..."

Li Nuo said: "Really no need..."

Seeing that the kind-hearted little brother refused to accept it, the middle-aged man looked at the two women behind him again.

However, when he saw the face of one of the women clearly, his expression suddenly froze, and he said unexpectedly: "Sixth Princess, why are you here?"

Zhao Zhiyi smiled slightly and said: "Zhang Shangshu, what a coincidence..."

She didn't expect that the old woman who Li Nuo accidentally rescued on the street was actually the mother of the Minister of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue is famous for his filial piety.

Is this what Master Gongsun said, as long as he is invited, everything will be arranged?
