Housekeeper Wu, with a darkened countenance, stepped forward and waved his hand. Suddenly, two figures leaped out from the crowd and pinned the peddler to the ground.
Li Nuo was not only unangered by the attempt on his life but found it slightly amusing.

According to Daxia Law, assassination—especially in the crowded streets—was extremely socially detrimental, its severity far exceeding that of a common assault.
Even if he were unharmed, the penalty would still be three years of penal servitude and exile for three thousand miles.
