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

Li Mansion.

The Left Assistant Minister from the Secretariat looked at Li Nuo, at a loss for words.

Because his words were irrefutable.

Investigating cases was not the duty of the Honglu Si Prime Minister; he could completely refuse.

To be fair, he should refuse.

The top scholar from the Six Arts, initially placed in the Ministry of Rites, was then shelved in the Honglu Si, with his official position and rank both being elevated, something the court was entirely capable of, which would naturally upset anyone.

Putting oneself in Li Nuo's shoes, one might feel even more indignant.

The Left Assistant Minister from the Secretariat could only leave, feeling helpless.

Upon returning to the embassy, there was no progress in the case.

All evidence pointed to suicide by the Second Prince of Liang, but even if it really was a suicide, Daxia still needed to find a culprit.

Otherwise, the blame would fall upon Daxia.

That would be troublesome.

The case must be investigated thoroughly to provide Liang Country with a reasonable explanation.

In his mind, a glimmer of light crossed again.

If anyone in Daxia were adept at solving cases aside from Li Nuo, there was one other person.

When he first started in the Ministry of Justice, not only had he solved numerous extraordinary cases, but he had also cleared all the longstanding cold cases within the Ministry, rightfully earning the title of Daxia's super sleuth.

In the early days, he indeed climbed the ranks due to his merit in case-solving.

Within the Ministry of Justice.

Li Xuanjing looked at the Left Assistant Minister from the Secretariat and shook his head, "I'm aware of the case, but the Ministry of Justice and the other departments have found no leads; my presence there would be of no use."

The Left Assistant Minister said, "The case is of great importance. Regardless of the outcome, Lord Li, you should still take a look."

Li Xuanjing did not decline further and said, "If that is the case, I will accompany you."

The two quickly arrived at the embassy, and after Li Xuanjing inquired about some matters from the officials of the Ministry of Justice and conducted his investigation, the Left Assistant Minister from the Secretariat couldn't wait to ask, "Lord Li, do you have any leads?"

Li Xuanjing shook his head, "No."

A wave of frustration washed over the Left Assistant Minister, for the matter was truly troublesome. Liang Country, though small, held a critical position as a buffer zone between Daxia and Wei Country.

Should Liang Country be removed, Daxia would share a direct border with Wei.

Whether for Daxia or Wei, controlling Liang would exert tremendous pressure on the other's borders.

If the death of the Second Prince caused a rift between Liang and Daxia, wouldn't it present Wei with an opportunity?

This was indeed a crucial matter, and he immediately returned to the Secretariat. Even on his day off, the Left Prime Minister was dealing with official duties.

Upon seeing him, the Left Prime Minister set aside his documents and inquired, "How did it go?"

The Left Assistant Minister shook his head, "Neither the Ministry of Justice nor the Ministry of Justice found anything; even the Minister of Justice who went in person discovered nothing."

The Left Prime Minister slowly stood, solemnly saying, "At this critical time, someone's death could stir trouble during the diplomatic conference, design to provoke the relationship between Liang and Daxia, with a highly malicious intent..."

This continent had been stable for hundreds of years, but the era of the Warring States, in reality, had not ended.

Behind the façade of peace among the great dynasties, countless undercurrents surged.

No one knew if a seemingly insignificant incident could become the tipping point to upset the situation.

Nevertheless, Daxia must extricate itself from this affair.

From last year's assassination of the envoy from Chu Country at the Four Directions Hall, to this year's demise of the Second Prince of Liang, all were directed at Daxia, indicating that some people and countries were getting restless.

The Left Prime Minister recalled something, looking towards the Left Assistant Minister and saying, "Go find the son of Li Xuanjing. The case at the Four Directions Hall last time was also solved by him. Young people have nimble minds, and what Li Xuanjing cannot see, he might..."

The Left Assistant Minister sighed and said, "Before asking the Minister of Justice, I had already gone to see him."

With a light sigh, the Left Prime Minister asked, "He also found nothing?"

The Left Assistant Minister replied, "He didn't go. He says that as the Honglu Si Prime Minister, he can be approached for funerary matters of the Second Prince of Liang, but investigation is not within his duties and suggested we seek someone more capable..."

"..."

The Left Prime Minister fell into silence.

A sixth-ranking scholar would normally enter the central office of the three provinces, yet he was relegated to the sidelined position in the Honglu Si; harboring grievances was natural.

If his father were not Li Xuanjing, even without entering the central office of the three provinces, he most likely would hold an important office within the Six Departments.

The identity of Li Xuanjing's son brought him some advantages, as well as these injustices.

The Right Prime Minister had acted to balance the court, without any personal agenda.

But now, with no other recourse available, hopes had to be pinned on him.

After pondering, he said, "Tell him that if he can solve this case, he may choose any standard fifth-rank official position in the court."

The Left Assistant Minister asked, "What about the Right Prime Minister's opinion..."

The Left Prime Minister interjected, "The greater good is paramount. If he asks, I will explain myself."

Moments later, the Left Assistant Minister once again arrived at Li Mansion.

He looked at Li Nuo, still basking in the sun, and said, "Lord Li, the Left Prime Minister has declared that if you can solve the case of the Second Prince of Liang, you may choose any standard fifth-rank position in the court."

Li Nuo opened his eyes, "Empty words prove nothing."

The Left Assistant Minister replied, "Rest assured, the Left Prime Minister's word is as good as gold. Since he has said it, he will certainly not deceive you."

Trusting in the cultivation of the Left Prime Minister, a fifth-realm Confucian, Li Nuo decided to believe him this time.

He stood up and said, "Let's go."

Embassy Village was the former Martial Arts Village, and naturally, Li Nuo knew it well.

Anning and Yiren were out, and Li Nuo didn't wait for her.

It was only a minor prince that had died; with her level of cultivation, her role in such a case was no longer significant.
