Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginning Chapter 186: Accepting an order in a critical situation and making big demands
Chapter 186: Accepting an order in a critical situation and making big demands
"It's okay for me to accept this case, but I have conditions."
Li Nuo began to make requests.
Yu Shangshu stroked his beard and smiled: "Let me tell you, as long as it is within a reasonable range, I will definitely be able to satisfy you."
He was very satisfied with the Chen Shoubei case, which showed that Li Zian was unique in solving crimes.
If this is the case, then continue your efforts and make more contributions to his Ministry of Punishment.
This is not about squeezing Li Nuo, it is about placing heavy responsibilities on Li Nuo.
"First, I have to choose my own manpower."
Li Nuo stretched out his index finger.
If you don't have your own people around to help, it's all in vain.
"That's no problem. I'll give you whoever you want from three provinces, six ministries, and five-rank officials. And there's more."
Yu Shangshu was naturally very generous in selecting candidates.
Anyway, there is no need for his old arms and legs to intervene. He can let the people below go with just his words, and it can sell Li Nuo's face, so why not do it.
Li Nuo stretched out his second finger and said with firm eyes: "Second, I want to have the right to kill first and then report later."
Yu Shangshu frowned and asked, "Don't you have the Xiuchundao that can be used to 'cut down weak officials at the top and sycophants at the bottom'?"
"Ahem... The adults are joking. They are just shouting slogans casually and cannot be taken seriously."
Li Nuo said with a smile.
Of course he is self-aware.
You can kill people with the [Embroidered Spring Sword], but how can he kill an official of rank seven or above at will? Is being an emperor just a show-off?
Even the Ministry of Punishment does not have the power to determine the life and death of officials above the seventh rank. They must be reported to the emperor after a joint trial, and they can only be executed after the emperor's cinnabar pen has been drawn.
Otherwise, when Xu Yunchuan bullied Zi Yuan, he didn't just simply kill a few servants. He directly beheaded Xu Yunchuan, the culprit, wouldn't it be nice?
Although Xu Yunchuan did not have a legitimate official position, he was able to obtain a noble title through covert circumstances.
Yu Shangshu pondered for a while and said: "This power is too great, but I can fight for you, but it can only reach the fifth rank at most."
The fifth rank is already the mainstay of the court, and the ones above are all minister-level officials. How can they be killed on the spur of the moment?
This can be regarded as the bottom line of the court.
Li Nuo nodded and said: "That's enough."
He wants this right, of course, for selfish reasons.
Now that we have entered the imperial mausoleum, how can we not check up on Ji Changye? But if someone is involved in private goods, if they encounter obstruction, it will be much more convenient if they have the right to "cut first and report later".
No matter who you are, if you dare to stop him, you will be beheaded. Once this person dies, many things will be easier to do, such as framing and framing the blame. Anyway, a dead person can't talk, so who will take the blame if not?
"third!"
Li Nuo stretched out his finger again.
But before he said anything, Yu Shangshu slapped Li Nuo's hand away, blew his beard and glared: "You brat, don't push yourself too far. Do you really think that I have no one in the Criminal Department and I can only rely on you to solve the case?"
"There are experts in the Criminal Department who can solve the case, but if they can be solved within three days, who else than me!" Li Nuo raised his middle finger confidently, "For the third place, I want a gold medal for walking in the palace!"
Yu Shangshu said warily: "What do you want from this? Are you trying to find Jiang Qiuyue in the cold palace?"
"Ahem... Your Excellency is really discerning... Ah, my Excellency, your eyesight is really bad! The matter of the New Science Banquet has been turned over. Don't bring it up to worry me anymore."
Li Nuo explained, "The case of tomb robbery in the imperial mausoleum is definitely a shocking one. I suspect there is someone protecting the court. Otherwise, who could rob a tomb under the eyes of three thousand guards? And also get away with success? I have a gold medal."
With it in hand, you can bypass the three provinces, six ministries, and even the cabinet, and go straight to Tianting!"
"Good boy, do you still dare to doubt the Criminal Department?"
Yu Shangshu was not angry.
Li Nuo deliberately looked at Shangshu Qiyu with suspicious eyes and said: "It's hard to tell. Some people look sanctimonious and handsome, but secretly they are male prostitutes and female thieves, and they can't even tell for sure."
This will make the old man furious!
He has only married one wife in his life, and they have been loving and respectful to each other for more than ten years. Although it has been ten years since his old wife passed away, he has not renewed their relationship.
Of course, his son was the complete opposite. Not only did he spend a lot of time drinking and drinking, but he also married ten beauties, one of whom was even a courtesan.
Ahem.
The oiran was indeed as beautiful as a flower, so charming that even he would blush just looking at it. Because of this, old friends often teased him...
But he dared to swear by his ancestors, but he really didn’t have that intention!
Um.
The most I can do is take a second look.
"Ahem, brat, I can do as you please. But you have to think clearly. Since you have made these demands, if you still can't solve the case, I'm afraid being exiled for three thousand miles will be an easy task!"
Yu Shangshu laughed and cursed.
He didn't want this good prospect to be ruined.
Li Nuo nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Okay! Tonight at the latest, I will fulfill all the conditions you have proposed. You can start preparations now. Starting from tomorrow, within three days, the case must be solved!"
Yu Shangshu said seriously.
"Then I will take my leave first."
Li Nuo bowed his hands and left the Ministry of Justice.
Rather than fighting an uncertain battle, he really had to go back and make careful preparations.
Regarding the tomb robbery case, he had already received some information, which was sent by Colonel Chen in private.
In fact, the person who robbed the tomb had been quietly caught by Colonel Chen without knowing it. However, the key to this matter was not the tomb robber, but the water seeping from the imperial mausoleum!
Water seepage in the imperial mausoleum is enough to affect Dayin's national destiny. This is a huge case!
Of course, this matter has also been completely blocked by Captain Chen, because once word spreads, at least tens of thousands of people will be implicated.
At least the three thousand guardsmen will be buried with them!
After all, Lieutenant Chen was also a lieutenant of the Emperor's personal army, Longxiang Guard. This time, he was transferred to the imperial mausoleum through Princess Qingyang's operation. His official position was not downgraded. He was still a lieutenant and was in charge of these three thousand soldiers.
And Captain Chen already had a very good reputation, so it took just a few days to win over people's hearts.
It was precisely because of Colonel Chen's trump card that Li Nuo dared to accept this task. Otherwise, no one would be able to solve the case in three days.
Back to business.
After Li Nuo returned home, he mentioned to Ye Qingyu that he was going to the imperial mausoleum to investigate the case, and told his wife that it was best to stay at home these days.
He is not in the city. If something happens, he will not be able to save the fire from afar.
Ye Qingyu reassured Li Nuo and asked Li Nuo to bring Lao Ma Yao and Da Hei Kui. Oh no, now they have changed their names to Da Hei Niu.
Li Nuo thought about it carefully and agreed. After all, he still needed a few of his own talents.
everything's ready.
At sunset, Yu Shangshu did not disappoint him and brought an imperial edict and a gold medal.
After Li Nuo received the order to thank him, he immediately left Chang'an City and headed straight to Huangling Mountain in the northeast.
At nightfall, the group arrived at the imperial mausoleum.
"Sir, you are here!"
Lieutenant Chen brought several confidants to greet Li Nuo.
Li Nuo nodded and followed Colonel Chen into the military camp.
After letting his men disperse and guard outside the military tent, and deploying a Confucian and Taoist magical power called "Walls Without Ears", Li Nuo asked: "The previous letter was not detailed enough. Now you can explain it carefully. How did it happen?"
