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

Seeing this young man, who dared to speak for the innocent girls and was wrongfully accused of being a criminal, the onlookers were all too afraid to speak up in anger.

The opposing party was the law officer of the state, in charge of Qin State's laws. If he could imprison this young man with one excuse, he could imprison them with other excuses. This wasn't the first time the County Magistrate's Office did such things.

Zhou Ming glanced at Li Nuo, waved his hand decisively, and said, "Take him away!"

Several government officials came over; one took the sword wrapped in cloth behind him, while two others tightly held his arms.

"Be honest, so as not to suffer!"

Watching the righteous young man being taken away, the onlookers all sighed inwardly.

He was still too naive.

When the government handles matters, why do they need to explain to them? Right and wrong, isn't it up to them to decide?

"This young man might be in for some hardships."

"Daring to speak like that to Law Officer Zhou, he's likely to be detained for at least three days."

"He must not be seen by the Assistant Governor's daughter; otherwise, he might suffer both physically and mentally..."

In Qin State's prison.

"Get in!"

A prison guard opened the cell door and shoved Li Nuo inside. In the same cell, there were several men, and in the opposite cell, there were several young women.

In Daxia, only for imprisonment terms are male and female prisons separated. If it's just a few days of detention, typically, men and women are separated into different cells, with private areas simply divided by straw mats.

If you want to understand the local government, the prison is the most suitable place.

As soon as the prison guard left, a robust man in the same cell asked Li Nuo, "Brother, what were you in for?"

Li Nuo shrugged and said, "I was outside the County Magistrate's Office beating the Injustice Drum, asking the Law Officer under which law he arrested those girls and forbade them from performing on the street, and he just arrested me..."

The man was stunned for a moment and gave Li Nuo a thumbs up, admiringly saying, "I didn't expect you to look so scholarly, yet have such courage; you're a true man."

Li Nuo asked, "What about you?"

The man sat back down, leaned against the cell wall, and said, "The arrest officer from the County Magistrate's Office often eats for free at my small shop. A couple of days ago, I asked them for the bill, and they accused me of extortion and fined me a sum of money and detained me for five days..."

He looked at a delicate man in the corner and said, "I'm okay; this brother here is really miserable. The Assistant Governor's daughter invited him to keep her company, and he refused, so he was accused of harassment, got a beating, and if he doesn't comply in the next few days, he might be sentenced with a more serious crime..."

In the opposite cell, several young women grasped the bars, apologetically looking at Li Nuo, and said, "Sorry, sir, we got you involved..."

Li Nuo smiled and said, "It's okay, I didn't do much, just asked two questions. They can't do anything to me; there's no law in Daxia that says asking questions is a crime..."

...

In the Qin State County Magistrate's Office, inside a certain government office.

Zhou Ming entered the government office, and an official asked, "Lord Zhou, what happened?"

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said, "Just a meddler, already dealt with."

In his hand, he held something wrapped in cloth strips, which looked like a sword.

Returning to his place, he unveiled the cloth at the hilt, and a golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Completely unwrapping it, Zhou Ming's expression froze.

The sword's scabbard and hilt were entirely golden, clearly made of gold. The person's travel permit indicated that his family was in business; could it be that they've caught a fat sheep?

Collecting some benefits from passing merchants was a common practice for them.

But being so extravagant to use so much gold to make a sword scabbard, this was the first time encountering such a thing.

Soon, he narrowed his eyes.

Not only was the sword's scabbard made of gold, but also engraved with a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, a design the Royal family could use, and to be precise, only the Emperor could use the Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

No wonder he wanted to wrap this sword up.

On a small scale, this was overstepping authority.

On a large scale, it was treason!

How dare he carry this sword and boldly appear in the government office?

Zhou Ming looked around and saw no one was paying attention, immediately rewrapped the sword carefully, held it in his arms, and went to another government office.

Inside the government office, a short, plump woman was holding the arm of the Assistant Governor of Qin State, shaking it vigorously, and said, "Father, those women are too hateful, can they be sentenced to ten years, I don't want to see them anymore..."

The Assistant Governor asked, "What did they exactly do to you?"

The woman stomped her foot and said, "I just don't want to see them!"

Though they didn't offend her, every time she went out, seeing them flaunting themselves, attracting countless men's praise and rewards, she felt annoyed.

The Assistant Governor shook his head and said, "They didn't commit any crime; forbidding them from performing on the street anymore is already enough. Although I'm the Assistant Governor, I can't do as I please..."

Originally, the County Magistrate's Office had no power to prohibit others from performing on the street.

This time, helping his daughter was just a small act of willful power.

Doing more than this is not just about acting willfully; ten years of imprisonment isn't something the County Magistrate's Office can decide. It must be reported to the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice is not easy to deceive; a slight mistake could lead to dire consequences.

The family had just sent word that Assistant Minister Li Nuo had already left Chang'an as Imperial Censor, heading to inspect various states with the Imperial Sword, holding the power to execute first and report afterward, capable of dealing with even a Governor of a state on the spot. No mishaps must happen at this critical juncture.
