Chapter 361 Pork Stew Vermicelli (3)
Although he had never dealt with him face-to-face before, as soon as he left the yamen, Wen Mingtang only glanced at it, and then walked towards the middle-aged Confucian scholar standing under the old tree outside the yamen of Dali Temple.
It was not past noon at this time, there were many yamen in this area, and the open space outside the yamen of Dali Temple was the widest, so many officials from other yamen would come here when it was inconvenient to say something in the yamen.
When Wen Mingtang came out, there were still a few middle-aged Confucian scholars in the open space, some with official robes and some without them.
Looking at the girl who walked towards him without even inquiring, the middle-aged Confucian scholar standing under the ancient tree frowned even tighter.
When the girl walked up to him and called out "Lord Du!", the displeasure on the Confucian scholar's face reached its peak.
When the girl called out, he sneered and said, "I've never met you before, how did you know me?"
This question...Wen Mingtang wanted to laugh when he heard it, because it was really ridiculous.
Someone sent someone against her inexplicably, she wanted to see who she had offended. A small servant girl in Ye Ting was inconspicuous. When Mr. Du entered the palace and was surrounded by people walking the palace path, he would not have noticed a servant girl who was weeding in the grass and wiping the corners of the walls.
What's even more ridiculous is that he has never seen her before, and he doesn't even know what kind of life she is, let alone whether she is good or evil, or whether she is innocent. Just because she is Wen Xuance's daughter and is still alive, he stares at her relentlessly. for.
Wen Mingtang wanted to talk about the truth with him. This is probably the instinct of people when they encounter inexplicable people and things, and they instinctively want to have a theory.
But the person across from her was obviously not the kind of person who could argue. She pursed her lips and suppressed the urge to make a theory.
It's just that even though he didn't want to argue, he still felt a little bit resentful about what happened these years. Therefore, Wen Mingtang paused, and replied aloud: "I'm always curious about who has been letting those stewardesses in the palace work with them all these years. People get in trouble with me."
The Confucian scholar on the opposite side heard the words, and a sneer flashed across his serious face: "Wen Xuance is cunning, how can his daughter be better? You can leave the palace safely, which is enough to prove that you are definitely not a kind person."
This is really ridiculous! Because she is still alive, she did not fail to withstand those trials and died, so it is not good. So, according to Master Du, she can prove that she is a good person only if she dies?
Wen Mingtang sneered, and replied to Du Lingmou: "My lord is sophistry, but fortunately, things in this world are not just based on your own thoughts, and you can do whatever you want. How can my life and death be judged by my own law! My little girl has never done anything evil in her life. Since I left the palace alive and didn't let those people die, it proves that God allows me to live, so I won't let adults bother." After a pause, he continued, "Do you want to act on behalf of the law or act on behalf of the sky? Is it possible to decide whether to live or die?"
Du Lingmou's expression changed upon hearing this sentence, neither Dai Law nor Dai Tian could be touched by him. This girl looked low-key, simple and inconspicuous, but when she uttered her words, she was outspoken.
The fact that the mouth is like a sharp knife really looks like the dead Wen Xuance.
Thinking of Wen Xuance, Du Lingmou's face became even more ugly. After scolding, "You really are a treacherous and sinister person", he didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, and explained his purpose: "You leave Chang'an!"
Leaving Chang'an? Wen Mingtang couldn't help frowning after listening to such endless words, and asked Du Lingmou, "Where are you going after leaving Chang'an?"
"Anywhere you want, just don't stay in Chang'an." Du Lingmou looked at her, with a hint of impatience and sarcasm in his eyes, "The Wen family has been confiscated, and all the family wealth has been confiscated. You are an orphan They also have nothing, so why don’t they just stay there? If they don’t leave Chang’an, do they think that Wen Xuance can reverse the case?”
Wen Mingtang acted as if he hadn't noticed Du Lingmou's impatience, so he asked Du Lingmou: "Master Du also said, where should I go to stay? If so, I'm too lazy to make troubles, staying in Chang'an will hinder Master Du." No?"
"That's right, it's just hindering the old man!" Du Lingmou looked at Wen Mingtang, not hesitating to hide his dislike, "Every time the old man sees you, he can think of that old man Wen Xuance, you can go anywhere when you leave Chang'an! Dangling under the old man's nose!"
After Wen Mingtang heard this, he let out a "puchi" and laughed: "Master Du is so high, I'm afraid he doesn't know about the days when I was promoted to the common people. I'm too busy with my daily life, so I don't have the time to go under the eyes of my lord." Wandering around? If the adults want to find a reason, they should find a better one." He paused, raised his eyes, and looked at Du Lingmou in front of him with clear eyes. "Otherwise, the little girl has been out of the palace for nearly a year. Never met me?"
She felt strange at first, if Du Lingmou really didn't like her, he might as well send someone like that court lady Qiu Ning, oh no, just change her name to Xinyue right now, just poison her. He always sent the nurses and palace servants in charge of the court to trip her up and torture her, but he made no secret that he sent someone to do it. What is Du Lingmou's intention?
There is no fool who can climb to the position of Zhongshu Ling. It is not impossible that Du Lingmou may be so narrow-minded that it is outrageous.
But compared to this person's purely narrow mindedness, Wen Mingtang still thinks another possibility is greater.
From what he just said, it confirmed his speculation.
I think she is an eyesore, and it is better to send someone to kill her or send her to a remote and difficult place without being an eyesore, and to train her better. But Du Lingmou's request is only to leave Chang'an, any place will do.
That's it... If she goes to the nearby Xianyang and other places, it doesn't take more than half a day's journey to Chang'an, but with such a half-day journey, can she not hinder Du Lingmou's eyes?
This rhetoric is really far-fetched.
Wen Mingtang looked at Du Lingmou and saw that he showed a look of understanding. After she finished speaking, he nodded and said, "That's right." Then, Du Lingmou stretched out his hand to her: "Bring it!"
What did you bring? Wen Mingtang was a little puzzled, and looked at Du Lingmou: "Master Du has spent such a lot of trouble, what exactly do you want?"
Du Lingmou sneered and said, "Aren't you relying on Chang'an so much to try to reverse the case for Wen Xuance?"
Wen Mingtang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and many thoughts flashed through his mind for a moment: What is so important that Du Lingmou is so worried, and can he reverse the case for Wen Xuance? Even... the Princess Liyang came to attack her, could it be because of this thing?
Gathering his mind and suppressing the many thoughts that flashed through his heart for a moment, Wen Mingtang looked at Du Lingmou and said, "Master Du's hand is so long, I think I was burglarized several times when I was in Ye Ting but didn't lose anything. Thanks! Since that’s the case, Sir, you have looked through the things I carry with you, where did you go to conjure something out of thin air?”
"You didn't carry it with you, but you may not know where Wen Xuance hid it." Du Lingmou sneered when he heard this, and glanced at Wen Mingtang, saying, "It's true that no one has taught it. It looks cunning, but it's really stupid. You know that the man is not guilty, but he is guilty of the crime? This thing is equivalent to a life-threatening talisman on your body. If it is someone else, you will not have the patience of this old man!"
