Dali Temple Small Dining Room

Chapter 361 Pork Meat Stewed Vermicelli (3)

Although he had never dealt with him directly before, as soon as he came out of the Yamen, Wen Mingtang only glanced at him and walked directly towards the middle-aged Confucian scholar standing under the ancient tree outside the Yamen of Dali Temple.

It was not yet past noon, and there were many yamen in this area, and the open space outside the yamen of Dali Temple was the widest. Therefore, many officials from nearby yamen would come here when it was inconvenient to speak in the yamen.

When Wen Mingtang came out, there were several middle-aged Confucian scholars in the open space, some wearing official robes, some not wearing them.

Seeing the girl walking towards him without even asking, the middle-aged Confucian scholar standing under the ancient tree frowned even more tightly.

When the girl walked in front of him and called out "Master Du!", the displeasure on the Confucian scholar's face reached its peak.

When the girl called her, he sneered and said, "I've never seen you before, how did you know me?"

This question... Wen Mingtang wanted to laugh when he heard it, because it was really ridiculous.

Someone inexplicably sent someone to target her, so she wanted to see who she had offended. A small maid from the Yeting Palace is inconspicuous. When he, Master Du, enters the palace and is surrounded by people walking along the palace corridor, he will not notice a maid who is weeding in the grass or wiping the corners of the walls.

What's even more ridiculous is that he has never seen her, and he doesn't even know what she is like, let alone whether she is good or evil, or innocent. Just because she is Wen Xuance's daughter and she is still alive, he stares at her without mercy. targeted.

Wen Mingtang wanted to open his mouth to discuss the truth with him. This was probably the instinct of people when they encountered inexplicable people and things, and they instinctively wanted to reason.

But the person opposite was obviously not the kind of person who could reason. She pursed her lips and suppressed the urge to reason.

Although he didn't want to quarrel, he was still somewhat resentful about what he had experienced over the years. Therefore, Wen Mingtang paused and replied loudly: "I'm always curious about who has been letting the housekeepers in the palace work with the palace all these years. People are the ones who get in trouble with me."

When the Confucian scholar opposite heard this, a sneer flashed across his serious face: "Wen Xuance is cunning, how can his daughter be any better? The fact that you were able to leave the palace safely proves that you are by no means a kind person."

This is really ridiculous! Because she is still alive and did not die after being unable to withstand those hardships, so it is not good. So, according to Mr. Du's opinion, she can only prove that she is good if she dies?

Wen Mingtang chuckled lightly and replied to Du Lingmou: "My lord is sophistical, but fortunately, things in this world are not just based on your own thoughts. You can do whatever you want. My life and death are determined by laws! My little girl has never done anything evil in her life. Since I came out of the palace alive and didn't let those people fight to death, it proves that God is still alive, so I don't need to worry about it." After a pause, he continued, "Do you want to act on behalf of God and violate the laws of God? Determining whether a person will live or die?"

Du Lingmou's expression suddenly changed after hearing this sentence. Neither Dai Law nor Dai Tian could be touched by him. This girl looks low-key, simple and inconspicuous, but she speaks out and speaks her mind.

The fact that his mouth was like a sharp blade really reminded him of the dead Wen Xuance.

Thinking of Wen Xuance, Du Lingmou's face became even more ugly. After scolding her for being "a really cunning and sinister person", he didn't bother to talk nonsense with her and made his purpose clear: "Leave Chang'an!"

Leaving Chang'an? Wen Mingtang couldn't help but frown after hearing such a meaningless sentence, and asked Du Lingmou: "Where are you going after leaving Chang'an?"

"You can go anywhere, as long as you don't stay in Chang'an." Du Lingmou looked at her with a bit of impatience and ridicule in his eyes, "The Wen family has been confiscated, and all the family property has been confiscated. You are an orphan. There is nothing. Where can we stay? If we don’t leave Chang’an, do we still think Wen Xuance can overturn the case?”

Wen Mingtang seemed to have never seen Du Lingmou's impatience. After hearing this, he asked Du Lingmou: "Master Du also said, where should I go to stay? In this case, I am a lazy woman who has to go through a lot of troubles. If I stay in Chang'an, I will be in the way of Master Du." Can’t do it?”

"That's right, you are just bothering me!" Du Lingmou looked at Wen Mingtang and did not hesitate to hide his displeasure. "Every time I see you, I will think of that old man Wen Xuance. You can go anywhere without Chang'an! As long as you don't Hanging around under my nose!"

After Wen Mingtang heard this, he let out a "chuff" and laughed: "Master Du is so high up, I'm afraid he doesn't know about the life of ordinary people like me. I am too busy making a living every day, how can I have the time to go under your nose?" Wandering around? If you want to find an excuse, you should also find a better excuse." After speaking, 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, how can you, sir? Never seen me?"

She thought it was strange at first. If Du Lingmou really didn't like her, he might as well send someone like the palace maid Qiu Ning, oh no, change her name to Xinyue, and just poison her. He always sent Ye Ting's stewards and palace officials to trip her up and chastise her, but he never shied away from the fact that he sent his own people to do it. What was Du Lingmou's intention?

There is no fool who can climb to the position of Zhongshu Ling. It is not impossible that Du Lingmou might be so narrow-minded as to be outrageous.

But compared to this person's pure narrow-mindedness, Wen Mingtang still felt that the other possibility was greater.

From what he just said, it confirmed his suspicion.

If you think she is an eyesore, it would be better to send someone to kill her or send her to a remote and difficult place where she is not an eyesore and can teach her a lesson. But Du Lingmou's request was just to leave Chang'an and go anywhere.

In this way... if she goes to nearby Xianyang and other places, it doesn't take more than half a day's journey to Chang'an. With such a half-day's journey, can she get out of Du Lingmou's eyes?

This argument is really far-fetched.

Wen Mingtang looked at Du Lingmou and saw that he had a look of understanding. After she finished speaking, he nodded and said, "Sure enough," and then Du Lingmou stretched out his hand to her: "Bring it here!"

What to bring? Wen Mingtang was a little confused and looked at Du Lingmou: "What do you want, Mr. Du, after spending so much time on it?"

Du Lingmou sneered: "Aren't you just trying to use this thing to overturn Wen Xuance's case by staying in Chang'an?"

Wen Mingtang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and many thoughts flashed through his mind: What was so important that Du Lingmou was so worried about, and could it overturn Wen Xuance's case? Even... when Princess Liyang came to attack her, could it be because of this thing?

After calming down and suppressing the many thoughts that flashed through his heart, Wen Mingtang looked at Du Lingmou and said, "Master Du's hands are so long. I think that when I was in Yeting, my house was burglarized several times but nothing was lost. I also thank you for this." A gift! In that case, your lord has already looked through the things I carry with me, where can I conjure something out of thin air?"

"You don't have it with you, but you may not know where this thing is hidden by Wen Xuance." Du Lingmou sneered when he heard this, glanced at Wen Mingtang, and said, "There is really no one to teach you. He looks cunning, but in fact he is stupid. ! Do you know that ordinary people are not guilty, but they are guilty of possessing a jade? This thing is like a reminder to you. If it were anyone else, they would not be as patient as me!"
