Madam, protect me!.

Chapter 61 The whole world is the enemy
Li Nuo finally did not ask the girl.

Why make things difficult for someone who is suffering? They both share the same suffering. He understands how she feels now and doesn't want to provoke her anymore.

When I returned to the county government yard with Butler Wu, I saw two constables standing there, talking to County Lieutenant Wang.

"Have the two bodies been identified?"

"Yes, sir. Although the male corpse was burnt, his right foot was different from the others. It had six toes, which was rare. After much investigation, I finally found out the identity of this person. His name is Chen Feng, and he is from Chenjia Village. No one has seen him since July 13th..."

"Where's the female corpse?"

"The identity of the female corpse has not been confirmed. Chen Feng is middle-aged and has no wife. He has a mistress named Wang Xian, who is a servant of a wealthy family in Chang'an. The two of them often hang out together. It is very likely that Wang Xian is the female corpse..."

"Since you have doubts, why don't you go to that wealthy family and ask..."

"Well, that family is a little special."

"Human life is at stake. No matter how special the matter is, we have to ask, whose servant is she?"

The constable said cautiously: "The Dali Temple..."

County Magistrate Wang: “(⊙o⊙)…”

Li Nuo had been following the murder case a while ago. He was startled when he heard this. He turned to look at Butler Wu and asked, "Is this Wang Xian a servant of our family?"

Butler Wu also looked surprised and murmured, "Auntie Wang is dead?"

Li Nuo asked in surprise: "Is he really from our family?"

These days, the county government has been investigating the identities of the two bodies. Unexpectedly, after searching for a long time, they found that one of them was from the Li Mansion.

After Wu Butler came to his senses, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Auntie Wang has been working for the Li family for ten years. At first, she was only responsible for cleaning. Two years ago, she was promoted to housekeeper, managing the maids in the mansion. Young Master may not know that the female assassin was recruited into the family by Auntie Wang. After the young master was assassinated that night, Auntie Wang disappeared. This old servant thought she ran away, but she was dead..."

Li Nuo was slightly stunned. He had no idea about this matter.

Soon, he thought of something and asked, "Do you suspect that she let the assassin in on purpose?"

Butler Wu shook his head and said, "It's not doubt, it's certainty."

He took a deep breath and said, "The master has so many enemies. They can't do anything to the master, so they want to take revenge on the young master. To this end, they spend a lot of money to bribe the servants in the family, including but not limited to assassination, arson, and poisoning the young master's food. This kind of thing has happened many times before..."

Li Nuo felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

Assassination, arson, poisoning...

It's really not easy for him to live till now.

No, in a sense, they have succeeded.

After all, the real young master of the Li family died long ago.

However, since Aunt Wang was a traitor to the Li family and died tragically by the river, Butler Wu knew about this, and his radical and resolute father probably also knew about it.

The previous person who tried to assassinate him was beaten to death in public.

Wang Ma’s death was most likely related to him.

If this is true, the murderer that Li Nuo has always wanted to investigate may be right next to him.

His eyes suddenly turned to Butler Wu.

Butler Wu felt uneasy when he looked at him, and asked in confusion: "Master, what's wrong?"

Li Nuo said: "Follow me."

A moment later, Butler Wu walked into the county jail and looked at the young master outside with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Nuo was thinking about Wang Ma's case in his mind. There was no change in the legal code.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed not to be Butler Wu.

The surprise and shock he just expressed were not fake.

Li Nuo waved to him and said, "Okay, come out."

After Butler Wu came out, Li Nuo asked the four old men with missing limbs to go in and stand there. The code still did not change. He tried all the guards, and there was still no extra page in the code.

It seems that it is not them either.

At least they didn't do it themselves. But we can't rule out the possibility that it was their father who gave the order.

As the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, he had countless people at his disposal, so it was easy for him to kill two ordinary people.

However, it is also possible that someone behind the scenes instructed her to kill and silence her.

Although the Code has magical powers, it is not omnipotent. Unless the person who killed Wang Ma personally is put in jail, the Code will not give him any clues.

Thinking of Aunt Wang, Butler Wu was still very angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt Wang is a traitor. She deserves to die. The Li family feeds her and clothes her, but she actually teamed up with outsiders to murder the young master. Even if she doesn't die, this old servant will not let her go!"

"Mother Wang is dead?"

A shocked voice came from behind. Li Nuo turned around and looked at the female assassin. This female assassin was brought in by Wang Ma. It was very likely that she was in cahoots with Wang Ma and the people behind her.

Li Nuo looked at her and asked, "What do you know about Wang Ma and the people behind her?"

The girl didn't answer, still in shock.

Just when Li Nuo thought he couldn't get anything out of him, a voice suddenly came from the cell.

"I don't know who's behind me. After my father died, someone found me and said they could help me get revenge. Later, they took me to Chang'an and arranged for me to live in the Li family. Aunt Wang told me everything that happened on weekdays. That night, someone sent me a message saying that the young master had fallen asleep and asked me to act immediately..."

Li Nuo's guess was correct. It seemed that she and Wang Ma were indeed in the same group of people.

These people are very careful. Whether it is the female assassin or Wang Ma, they are all people at the lowest level of the operation and cannot contact higher levels at all.

The person who could attack a fool like him after such a careful arrangement must hate his father to the core. It is probably not just an ordinary blood feud. Since he cannot locate them accurately, he can eliminate them one by one...

He looked at Butler Wu again and asked, "What kind of enemies does my father have on a daily basis? It would be best if they are the kind with deep hatred..."

Butler Wu opened his mouth, not knowing how to start.

Li Nuo asked: "What's wrong, no?"

Wu Guanjia said: "No, there are too many. Let me think about it. Who should I start with? King Han, King You, King Rui, or should I start with King Rui..."

……

After an unknown amount of time, Li Nuo let out a long sigh.

It was really difficult for him to use the process of elimination to identify the mastermind behind this incident.

As the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, his father could decide life and death with just one word, and executing the entire family was a routine operation.

In the court, honest officials feared him, corrupt officials hated him, and those who were neither honest nor corrupt feared him to the core. Even the princes' followers, every one of them had been hit by his iron fist, and they wished to get rid of him as soon as possible...

In the martial arts world, countless righteous people want to punish the evildoers for Daxia. His head is firmly ranked first on the bounty list, and the reward is more than the second to tenth place combined.

In short, the good guys want him dead, and the bad guys don't want him alive.

It can be said that the whole world is our enemy.

As his son, Li Nuo was under a lot of pressure.

He looked at Butler Wu and asked helplessly, "In this huge court, doesn't my father have a single friend?"

Butler Wu said, "Of course there is. Behind the old master is His Royal Highness Prince Chun. His Royal Highness Prince Chun is extremely kind to the old master. The Li family's house was given by His Royal Highness Prince Chun. Prince Chun also has people send a large amount of money every year. However, he should treat the Li family like this. Prince Chun was just a powerless prince back then. If it weren't for the old master, he wouldn't have his current status..."

"Master."

Butler Wu was talking incessantly when a voice suddenly came from behind Li Nuo.

Li Nuo turned around and looked at the haggard girl in the cell.

This was the first time he heard her call him "Young Master". She used to call him a thief.

The girl looked at Li Nuo with complicated eyes, pulled out a wooden hairpin stuck on her head, and gently rotated the hairpin head. The wooden hairpin body was unexpectedly removed like a scabbard, revealing a little sharpness inside.

This seemingly simple wooden hairpin actually holds a lot of secrets. After removing the wooden sheath, it looks extremely sharp.

Li Nuo thought she wanted to avenge her father, but the hairpin was so short that she couldn't reach it while she was locked inside.

Just as Li Nuo was wondering, the girl clenched the iron hairpin in her hand and suddenly stabbed it towards her own shoulder.

Blood slowly flowed out from between her fingers, soon staining an area on her shoulder red.
