Madam, protect me!

One of Li Nuo's questions made the woman blush, and she said coyly: "My husband-in-law is very good at it. He spends at least half an hour every night, sometimes even an hour..."

Including Pei Zhe, everyone present was shocked.

An hour!

With only less than a quarter of an hour, or even less than a half-quarter of an hour, they could not imagine what half an hour or even an hour was like. They had despised this wife-beater just now, but now they respected him in awe.

It’s okay not to accept it.

Although Li Nuo has been a virgin for two lifetimes, he also knows what an hour means.

It's really three hundred and sixty lines, and he will be the number one scholar in every line.

For this reason, he went to the prison specifically to take a look at the guy. He didn't expect that such a powerful power was hidden under his thin body.

Of course, Li Nuo was not the only one watching.

After he left, Pei Zhe and several government officials were still gathered around the door of the man's cell, whispering to him. Li Nuo faintly heard that Magistrate Pei asked him what he usually ate and whether he had anything. The trick…

Li Nuo did not join them.

Because he doesn't use it.

No matter what specialties the other party has, as long as the portrait on the code is lit, it is still his specialties.

Although this specialty is of little use to him now...

But it will always be used in the future.

Putting the domestically violent man in jail not only made a good start for the rest of the people, but also unexpectedly gained a useful specialty. Li Nuo was in a good mood.

When passing by a certain cell, Li Nuo paused slightly.

He turned his head and glanced at the figure sitting in the cell, feeling a little confused. The last time he came to the cell, she called him a "dog thief" through gritted teeth. Why didn't she scold him today?

The girl glanced at him with a complicated expression, and quickly looked away.

Of course, Li Nuo wouldn't be so mean as to ask her why she didn't scold him. After giving her a surprised look, he walked out of the prison. At this time, people were already queuing up at the long table in front of the county government office...

Li Nuo's guess was correct. There were not many cases in the county government, not because the emperor had the sea under his feet and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment without any grievances to file.

The more reason is that the common people have some kind of fear filter towards the government. Generally, when they encounter small disputes, they either resolve them themselves or swallow their anger. Even if they suffer a small loss, they are unwilling to walk through the gate of the government.

Let alone the feudal dynasty, even in modern times, the vast majority of ordinary people have no awareness and no courage to use the law to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

But things are different today.

Today they didn't have to go into the yamen. Li Nuo moved the yamen out and handled the case on the wide street, which shortened the distance between them and eliminated the people's nervousness towards the government. More and more people began to line up.

Of course, the cases they sued were not major ones.

Quite a few of them have lost their things, and I hope the Yamen can help find them. In fact, the probability of detecting such small thefts is very small, but Li Nuo still asked the paperwork to record them one by one. If the thief is caught in the future, he can claim it back. Stolen items can also be notified to them.

Only a small number of cases can actually be handled on-site.

This small group basically involves civil disputes involving marriage, economy, land, and property, which are closely related to people's lives, and there are no major criminal cases.

Li Nuo is not greedy. He understands the principle of adding up a small amount to a big sum. When these small cases are accumulated, the rewards are no less than serious criminal cases. He works on each case personally, busy from morning to night, and even has a few steamed buns for lunch. To deal with.

At dawn, Li Nuo went out. The sun was almost setting, but there were still people queuing up.

Although he was hungry, Li Nuo felt full in his heart.

There is no other reason. When he went out in the morning, he had twenty-five days left to live, and now it has increased to thirty days.

Although one month is still a short period of time, fortunately, there is positive growth every day, giving people a sense of a promising future.

After handling another debt loan case, an old woman with gray hair came up tremblingly, knelt down in front of Li Nuo, and cried: "Master Qingtian, please make the decision for my daughter!"

Li Nuo quickly helped the old woman up and said, "Old man, please sit down. If you have any grievances, tell me slowly."

As the old woman appeared, the crowd began to talk.

"It's Aunt Chen!"

"Why are you here, Mrs. Chen?"

"Her case is different. If it could have been handled, it would have been handled long ago. Why wait until today..."

"Hey, Aunt Chen is so pitiful. My daughter was originally promised to a good family, but she was ruined by others. The good family also broke off the engagement. Such a good girl, she is so crazy..."

"What a sin..."

…

The old woman cried incessantly, causing her speech to be choppy and difficult to hear.

At this time, the clerk in charge of recording whispered to Li Nuo: "Sir, I understand this case. Half a year ago, this old man's daughter was raped and defiled. She was only half a month away from getting married. , but after learning about this, the person with whom they were originally engaged also broke off the engagement. The girl couldn't bear the blow and went crazy..."

Li Nuo frowned slightly and asked, "The county government doesn't care about such a big case?"

The clerk shook his head and said: "I can't control it. She came to the county government half a year ago, but there was no other witness or material evidence in that case, so it was difficult to conclude the case. What's more, the person she sued had a distinguished status. The county magistrate cannot afford to offend..."

Li Nuo looked at Pei Zhe. Pei Zhe immediately shook his head, spread his hands and said, "I don't know. This is none of Xiaguan's business. It has only been a month since Xiaguan was transferred here. This is the previous county magistrate." It’s done…”

He didn't intend to take the blame for his ex and cleared his relationship immediately.

Li Nuo looked at the document and asked, "Who is that person?"

This document said: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs examines the meritorious service, and examines the son of the meritorious doctor."

The official system of Daxia was similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, but there were many differences. Li Nuo had just begun to understand it and asked: "Does the official position of a doctor in the examination of meritorious service be very high?"

Pei Zhe glanced at him and thought to himself, whether the official position of the doctor is high or not depends on who he is competing with...

Compared to most officials, he is the father.

Compared with your father, I'm just an ant.

The official position of the Kao Gong doctor is not too high. It is the fifth rank, which is equivalent to his own Chang'an order. However, the Ministry of Personnel is one of the six departments. The Kao Gong Department is responsible for the performance assessment of officials all over the world and gives suggestions for official promotion or punishment. The Kao Gong Department The Gong doctor is the leader of the Gong examination department, and he cannot afford to offend him.

Although he is not his direct superior, it is convenient for him to wear small shoes when evaluating his political performance. If he fails to pass the performance evaluation for three consecutive years, his official position will be demoted. After that, he will be demoted every year he fails to pass the performance evaluation. If you fail to pass the exam for six consecutive years, you will be immediately removed from your job and will never be hired again...

Therefore, few officials below the fourth rank of Daxia are willing to offend the Gong Kao Division.

He coughed lightly and said to Li Nuo: "The Examiner is the Chief of the Examination Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. His official position is the fifth rank. He is in charge of the performance evaluation of officials below the fourth rank in Daxia. To a certain extent, he can affect the promotion of officials below the fourth rank. …”

An official of the fifth rank is at the same level as the Chang'an County Magistrate, and his official position is not low.

If it is a more remote place, a county magistrate of the seventh grade can cover the sky with one hand and take away life and death.

But Chang'an is under the emperor's feet, and the son of a fifth-rank official can trample on the law wantonly?

Li Nuo looked at Pei Zhe and asked, "Does your county government dare not take care of this case?"

Pei Zhe said helplessly, "None of the doctors in Chang'an County, including Xiaguan, can afford to offend him. The difficulty of this case is not that he dares to take care of it, but that it has been happening for half a year." , it is difficult to obtain evidence, and unless he admits it himself, it will be difficult to convict him..."

Of course Li Nuo understands these things.

This is also a problem for him.

As long as the son of the doctor who takes the exam is guilty or not, the Code will tell him as long as he is caught.

The problem is that others don't know the existence of the code, and Li Nuo can't convict him of the void.

After all, the other party is also the son of a high official in the imperial court. Not to mention that Li Nuo has no official position. Even if his father, the Minister of Dali Temple, wants to arrest someone for trial, he has to provide evidence and cannot do whatever he wants.

In principle, this should be the case.

The difficulty in this case lies in collecting evidence. Li Nuo looked at Pei Zhe and asked, "Where is the previous Chang'an County Magistrate now? Can he come forward to testify?"

Pei Zhe shook his head: "I'm afraid not."

Li Nuo asked: "Why is he not in Chang'an?"

Pei Zhe said: "He is dead."

The last magistrate of Chang'an County was beheaded by the order of Dali Temple Minister. Now the grass on his grave should be high.

If he hadn't died, he wouldn't be here...
