Li Nuo no longer thought about anything else and accepted the several case files.
The first case file concerned one envoy, four protectors, and fifteen chiefs.
These twenty individuals were sentenced to three years of imprisonment and exile for three thousand miles, with an additional punishment of one hundred to three hundred floggings.
The crime of theft did not result in serious consequences, and actually, the imprisonment and exile were enough.
The reason for the additional flogging was that the ordinary Thieves would be sentenced to three years of imprisonment and three years of exile; since these were higher-ups, their crimes would certainly be heavier, but not enough to warrant the death penalty. Thus, the flogging served to distinguish them.
The envoy received an additional three hundred floggings, the protectors two hundred, and the chiefs one hundred.
Li Nuo affixed the seals of the Assistant Minister and the Chief of Staff.
He looked at the Law Code.
