My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 289 - 169: Gathering to Denounce

Song Residence.

Li Nuo looked at a new portrait that had appeared on the Law Code.

It was an old man with a gaunt face.

He picked up a brush and casually wrote a few characters on the paper.

Seal script, clerical script, regular script, cursive script, grass script... five different styles of writing, all of which looked very pleasing to the eye.

If one wanted to change the criminal law, it was not so easy, as it required discussions among the three provinces at the very least.

However, this type of public order regulation was merely a matter of his father writing a few characters and stamping a seal.

The Ministry of Justice possessed this authority.

Not to mention the Ministry of Justice, even a local County Magistrate could exercise such power within their jurisdiction.

Everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment.

Chang'an is the capital of Daxia Country and represents the face of Daxia. Spitting randomly on the ground was neither civilized nor hygienic.

The Imperial Examination was imminent, and students from all over gathered in Chang'an. In order to display the fine character of the capital of Daxia Country, it was essential to enforce sanitation temporarily.

Unfortunately, calligraphy still had not become a permanent skill.

Those caught were far from enough.

Li Nuo sighed, looking at the lines of writing on the paper, and couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

He had always harbored such confusion.

Although it was a different world and most of the history was different from the world he knew, many things were inherited from the other, such as the Hundred Schools and the calligraphy styles, even the characters and the language...

It was as though one world was constructed on the foundation of another.

He obviously could not figure out this question, so Li Nuo simply stopped thinking about it, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it into the wastebasket.

The room was very quiet, with only Li Nuo inside.

With the Imperial Examination just days away, including his wife, the entire Song Residence was deliberately creating a quiet environment for him. His uncle and aunt even specifically instructed Mumu not to disturb him.

Contrary to the stillness of Song Residence, the entrance of Qingfeng Academy was bustling with activity.

The news of Mr. Wei being arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice had reached the academy, and upon hearing this, the entire academy instantly erupted.

The Ministry of Justice was that place notorious for trapping the great villain Li Xuanjing, and those caught by the Ministry of Justice were more likely to die than live. The Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Justice had claimed the lives of countless loyal and good officials.

And Mr. Wei was a teacher at Qingfeng Academy, a man of high morals who had cultivated many pillars of society for Daxia.

Although it was unknown why the Ministry of Justice had arrested him,

they believed that Mr. Wei was definitely innocent.

He must have been persecuted by Li Xuanjing.

Upon receiving this news, the students of Qingfeng Academy were filled with righteous indignation.

The Calligraphy World of Chang'an was also greatly shaken; friends and disciples of Wei Xun began to gather at the entrance of the academy to jointly protest for Mr. Wei.

At first, when there were few of them, they still held a trace of fear towards the Ministry of Justice and Li Xuanjing.

But as more and more people gathered, the fear in their hearts gradually dissipated and then turned into anger.

Confucian disciples should possess the Vast Righteous Qi, and when faced with injustice, they should have the courage to stand up and not submit to power.

"Let's go together and rescue Mr. Wei!"

"I want to go to the Ministry of Justice to protest. Who wants to come with me?"

"I will!"

"I will too. Let's see if they dare to arrest all of us!"

...

In the crowd, someone shouted, immediately gaining a response from many.

Together, they began to march mightily towards the Ministry of Justice, a group of dozens filling the entire street, an imposing sight indeed.

The common people on the streets, seeing this from afar, stepped aside.

They wondered what was wrong with these academy students, suddenly taking to the streets to protest again.

Although the cause was not clear yet, every time they took such a stance, some officials in the court were bound to have bad luck.

These students of the academy represented the future of Daxia.

Once they started making trouble, even the court had to yield somewhat.

This was also the only time they held such privilege.

Once they successfully became officials in the future, they would understand the importance of following rules.

With the Imperial Examination approaching, countless students had gathered in Chang'an.

Many, seeing this momentum, stepped forward to inquire.

After learning the reason behind it, many non-Qingfeng Academy students also joined in.

The crowd continued to march and grow along the way.

Such a formidable display quickly alerted the patrolling Imperial Guard.

Though it was the duty of the Imperial Guard to maintain the stability of Chang'an, in such a situation they dared not intervene but could only immediately report the incident.

The Secretariat paid great attention upon learning of this, and the Director of the Secretariat, who was also the Left Prime Minister, gave instructions immediately. They requested Chang'an County Government and Capital Prefecture to quickly investigate the cause of the event, seriously pursue responsible parties, patiently appease the emotions of the protesting students, handle the matter properly, and prevent the situation from escalating...

From Qingfeng Academy to the Ministry of Justice, a short distance that a group of dozens had expanded to hundreds.

Led by several disciples of Wei Xun and students of Qingfeng Academy, the entrance of the Ministry of Justice was completely blocked.

"Release Mr. Wei!"

"Release Mr. Wei!"

They did not storm into the Ministry of Justice but instead sat quietly in front of it, chanting slogans in unison.

In a tea house nearby on the roadside, on the second floor in an elegant room, several figures watched the scene below with great interest.

The arrest of Mr. Wei had also been unexpected for Marquis Yongshou and others.

They did not anticipate that Li Xuanjing would dare to arrest a teacher from the academy.

This precisely showed that their actions had effectively targeted a crucial vulnerability of them.

Marquis Yongshou asked, "Which of you prompted someone to incite these students?"

Hearing this, everyone shook their heads.
