C11 Repentance

"In the end, Ling Mo snatched away the sword in the hand of the executioner and personally raised it before bringing it down …" Jin Xiao gestured, "Beat that bastard up."

Hu Ying opened her eyes wide, just like how she used to listen to the stories of the foxes and concentrate on her own thoughts. A silver light flashed in front of her eyes. Qin Lingmo, who was standing behind the blade, was dressed in black and had a serious look in his eyes.

"..." Little Hu? Miss Little Hu? " This time, it was Jin Xiao who called out to Hu Ying.

Ah?" "AHH!" He really dares to do it! " Hu Ying regained her senses and said. Jin Xiao's face was filled with both pride and faint regret for his good friend. He turned his wineglass and sighed. "Because he dared to do it, the empress dowager's imperial edict wasn't able to save those nephews. The empress dowager was furious and wanted to punish Ling Mo for his crimes. Not only was Ling Mo not afraid, he even admonished the empress dowager to follow the ancient teachings and not interfere in political affairs. "If she does not obey, she has the right to send Her Majesty out of the palace for rest.

"Has the Empress Dowager obeyed?"

"Then the empress dowager will definitely not comply. She thinks that Ling Mo doesn't dare." In the end, Ling Mo, together with the other assistant ministers, had written a letter to the emperor. After the current emperor has finished reading, he made them kneel outside the palace for a full two hours. Afterwards, the empress dowager declared that they would no longer interfere in the affairs of the court.

Ah!" "Looks like the little emperor still listens to the empress dowager." Hu Ying could not help but feel that it was unfair for Qin Lingmo to be punished to kneel.

Jin Xiao chuckled. "I thought so too. I learned later that it was Ling Mo's comeback with the Emperor."

"A play?"

"That's right. After all, the Emperor is too young. Although Ling Mo and the rest did their best to assist him, they were still unable to do so." It would do her no good to break with the Empress Dowager. But the empress dowager had to care about face, so Ling Mo discussed with the emperor and had these assistant ministers kneel outside the palace for a few hours, letting the empress dowager calm down and calm down. A woman who could stay in the harem and stay out of trouble, a person who could sit in the empress dowager's place, was definitely not an ordinary foolish woman. He also understood that Ling Mo was not someone to be trifled with. If he really did get into the temple, it would be the end of him. "Thus, Her Majesty took advantage of the situation and withdrew."

Jin Xiao finished his speech. He took another sip of his wine. The magnolia tree outside the door looked beautiful and graceful against the red wall. It looked like a sea of snow and clouds. The fragrance filled the air.

Hu Ying suddenly patted Jin Xiao's shoulder with all her might, giving the Imperial guards a fright. The wine instantly poured out of the cup and spilled all over her body.

"What, what's wrong?"

"At the South Gate the day before yesterday."

"What happened to the South Gate?"

"The human skin of the southern gate …"

"Oh, you mean the Minister of Rites' Minister?" "Although he is only a level five official, he embezzled and embezzled several thousand taels of silver. According to the law, he should be skinning to make an example of others." Jin Xiao replied.

"Aiya, so he's a bad guy …" Hu Ying was slightly surprised. Remembering the farce on the streets, she could not help but stutter, "But, but I don't know either …"

Jin Xiao saw her mumbling and thought for a moment. Then, he suddenly realized something, "I heard that Ling Mo was kicked out of the palace by a deceased Minister for Rites' Minister for Foreign Affairs. At that time, a heroic woman came out to fight against him, accusing him of being despicable … Could it be Miss Little Hu? "

Hu Ying's face suddenly turned red and she scratched her ears in embarrassment. She was a little bashful as she said, "How should I know what's going on? I …" Uh, no, that's right … Uh. "Anyway …"

"Little Hu is indeed very kind. However, if there were no ink, and no severe punishment, the prosperity in the Northern Tang Dynasty would have long been gone." Furthermore, he only treats offenders. Actually, he treats civilians very well. It's just that everyone has been deceived by his viciousness. " Jin Xiao looked at Hu Ying seriously and said, "I don't want her to misunderstand my good friend."

Hu Ying scratched her ears, blinked her eyes, and jabbed her two fingers into each other. "I even scolded him for being too greedy …"

"…"

"He even said that his life is a sin …"

"…"

"He even cursed him for marrying an old woman …"

"…"

"Isn't that a little too much?"

"…" Jin Xiao wanted to say that this was a small problem. But facing Hu Ying, he could not bear to blame her. I had to say it in a euphemistic way, "There is... "A little."

"Ah …" Hu Ying sighed with a troubled expression.

"About that, Miss Little Hu, don't worry. Ling Mo is not such a petty person. Don't worry, he will definitely not remember what happened this morning." Jin Xiao stood up and comforted Hu Ying.

"How about this, if you invite the Prime Minister out, I'll treat him to a drink as an apology, how about that?"

"Alright then, no problem!"

"Really?"

"I promise!" Jin Xiao patted his chest in assurance.

The reason he was so sure was due to his deep understanding of Qin Lingmo. He was very clear that the first thing his good friend, who had returned from his stay at the palace, would do was neither to change his clothes nor to have fun.

It was a memorial.

All of them were petitions against him.

After throwing a brownish-yellow imperial report onto the table, Qin Lingmo leaned back against the sandalwood chair and gently rubbed his forehead. The handsome brows slightly frowned, shrouding in a shallow shadow. He closed his eyes and rested for a moment. Then, he opened his eyes and picked up the next imperial report.

With just a few glances, he raised the corner of his lips into a curve, causing it to be as cool as water.

"This official was too arrogant and conceited in his report to the king. He completely disregarded His Majesty, and failed to live up to the request of the previous King of Nations, the Great Conclave of Heavens and Earth." "Abusing lynchings, the rule of law should be based on education, not on heavy punishment …"
