My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!

Bing State.

Inside the hostel.

Li Nuo flipped through the pages of the booklet in his hand.

This booklet contained detailed records of numerous cases across Bing State, involving officials from the State Government and various County Magistrate's Offices, as well as some local nobles. Li Nuo had not seen these cases in the Archives of the State Government.

If the local government does not file a case, naturally it will not be found in the Archives.

In Chang'an, regardless of the government office, as long as the common people file a complaint, there will inevitably be a record.

But in Bing State, it seems it is not the case.

There was also a report written by Wang Duo about Bing State in the booklet.

The report stated that the overall law and order in Bing State was better than most counties of Daxia, and even better than in Chang'an. This is because Bing State falls within the power range of the Wang family in Jinyang, and there is no one whom the Wang family dares not provoke.

Even wealthy families or nobles from Chang'an, when they arrive in Bing State, must behave honestly, and if they break the law, they will be taken to the government office for interrogation just the same.

The officials in the government offices of Bing State are either originally from the Wang family or recruited by the Wang family. In other counties, court officials might still have to act according to the wishes of local tyrants, but in Bing State, the Wang family is the biggest local tyrant.

This makes the grassroots law and order exceptionally good. The village bullies and ruffians common elsewhere are rarely seen in Bing State.

Those who dare to oppose the local government, even without the intervention of the court, the Wang family can easily handle them.

It must be said that there are benefits to the domination by a famous family; a single family's dominance is better than chaos. The order in Bing State surpassing that of Chang'an is also not without the contribution of the Wang family.

Of course, this is not entirely a good thing.

It is precisely because the entire Bing State is under the control of the Wang family, those from the Wang family and the officials from the Wang family's line, as well as forces close to the Wang family, can override all rules, even the law itself.

These second-generation officials and second-generation family members are even more arrogant than the Daxia Imperial Family of Chang'an.

While the nobles have limitations from the court, these people in Bing State are truly the law.

After a while, Li Nuo exited the hostel.

When he arrived at a civilian residence in Bing State, two people on the street nearby immediately changed their expressions.

"Not good!"

"Why did he go to that family?"

"Damn it, who told him?"

"I'll keep an eye here, you hurry back to report!"

Li Nuo knocked on the door of the residence, and after a moment, the gate opened. An elderly woman poked her head out, looking at the stranger at the door, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Nuo smiled and said, "Madam, we are passing by here and would like to ask for a drink of water, may we?"

The elderly woman glanced at Li Nuo, then at an elderly man behind him, seeming to think he wasn't a bad guy, she nodded slightly and said, "Come in."

Not long after, the old couple brought two bowls of water, placed them on the table in the courtyard, and asked, "Young man, by the sound of your speech, you are not from Bing State, are you?"

Li Nuo said, "We have come from Chang'an."

Upon hearing this, the elderly woman paused for a while before muttering to herself, "Chang'an, Chang'an is good, Chang'an is good, they say there is a Lord Li in Chang'an who specializes in killing corrupt officials, I wonder when he'll come to Bing State..."

Unexpectedly, this old couple had heard of him too. Li Nuo asked, "Is the elder talking about Imperial Censor Li Nuo?"

The elderly woman shook her head and said, "He is surnamed Li, but not called Li Nuo, I remember he is called something like Li Xuan..."

Li Nuo coughed lightly and said, "The Lord Li Xuan you mentioned, is actually my father. I am the Imperial Censor from the court, here in Bing State this time to uphold justice for the common people. Do you have grievances to report, elder?"

Upon these words, the couple's eyes immediately became cautious.

Both stood up and took a few steps back; the elderly woman said, "We've already said we wouldn't report you, yet you still won't leave us alone. We've followed your orders not to leave the house, why won't you let us go?"

Noting their cautious expressions, Li Nuo sighed lightly and said, "Elders, please believe me, I truly am the Imperial Censor from Chang'an, here to eliminate corrupt officials..."

His voice carried a peculiar power, causing the two old people to gradually lower their guard after hearing it.

"Are you really here to help us?"

"Absolutely true."

After Li Nuo used the Cross and Vertical Skill to soothe them, the two elders gradually began to speak.

"We have grievances to report, please seek justice for us!"

"That Governor's son, to expand his family's Music Workshop, wanted to forcibly buy our shop. My son refused, so he had someone drive a carriage and kill my son in the street..."

"We went to the government office, but they wouldn't file our case. They threatened us not to speak out or we old folks wouldn't live either."

"A few days ago, they sent people again to warn us not to go out. If anyone asked, we were forbidden from telling about this matter, and especially forbidden from suing the government office, they even posted people outside to watch us..."

...

Li Nuo had seen the people monitoring this old couple outside earlier.

At first, he thought it was strange that even with such good law and order in Bing State, no one would go to the government office to seek justice. Unexpectedly, it was because these people had prepared in advance before he arrived.

It's certain that the other victims mentioned in the booklet were also under similar surveillance and warning.

At this moment.

Bing State Government Office.

Bing State Governor heard that Li Nuo went to the old couple's home, his eyebrow twitched, yet he did not show a panicked expression. He never underestimated this Sixt Subjects' Scholar and had long made ample preparations.
