"Is it off now?"

"No. The Emperor has been furious three times a day because he has accidentally killed a medicine eunuch for this reason." No one dares to delay them at all. "

Hu Ying also heard this and felt it was strange. This was not because she was puzzled, but because she found out that this situation seemed to have something to do with her knowledge. "Why does this sound like Five Rock Powder to me?"

Jin Xiao looked left and right quickly, lowering his voice. "Actually, many ministers feel the same way, but no one dares to say so." Only Lingmo insisted on investigating, but right now, the Emperor wasn't listening at all. In fact, Ling Mo was the night before. His Majesty's medicine had been simmering a little late, and it still hadn't been delivered yet. The Emperor lost his temper, became restless, and knocked over many things. Ling Mo went over to try and dissuade her. In the end, he was also struck in the forehead by the porcelain vase, causing blood to flow out. "

Ah!" "Is he hurt?!" When Hu Ying heard this, she immediately stood up.

"Fortunately, the Emperor took the medicine to calm down and Ling Mo had already checked out at the hospital, so there was nothing much to do."

Hu Ying was extremely vexed. She didn't know that Qin Lingmo hadn't come these days because of these troublesome matters. Furthermore, he had been injured yesterday. Upon hearing that he was injured, Hu Ying couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to see him. No matter what, he was still considered half a potential customer.

"Right now, Ling Mo is not in the manor. He didn't come back last night, so he has remained in the palace."

"Oh …" Hu Ying felt slightly disappointed in her heart. After giving it some careful thought, she felt like she didn't know what she had lost. He suddenly felt that it was boring and even the sound of the silver was not as pleasant as it used to be.

Outside the tavern, it was drizzling. The continuous drizzling rain covered the entire White Peony City. The white magnolia was trembling in the rain, becoming hazy in the fog.

Hu Ying was lost in thought as she looked out the door. Suddenly, her mood became extremely irritable.

Three days later, Qin Lingyun's ink still did not appear. It had rained for the entire night, and even now, the rain was still pitter-patter. Droplets of water fell from under the eaves, connecting to form a broken jade curtain.

The magnolia flower spread the petals and gently drooped, causing the dew to fall.

Very few people would come in the morning to drink, and usually they would wait until noon and evening. Hu Ying originally did not care about etiquette. She sat cross-legged on the table and closed her eyes to recuperate. Although she had immortal bones, she wasn't very keen on cultivation, so her magic power was limited. However, when she had nothing to do, she would do some simple cultivation to nurture her source spirit.

Simply put, he just needed to find a random place and close his eyes and carefully meditate.

The content of the meditation was very casual, as long as it allowed him to relax.

Thus, Hu Ying's meditation contents were: Big money, small money, big money, small money … Very quickly, Hu Ying's meditation world was filled with glittering gold and jewellery all over the floor. Amongst these treasures, there was a figure that suddenly appeared. At the beginning, it was just a faint shadow that was like a phosphorescent flame, but it gradually became clearer.

His black pupils and thin lips were white as snow.

He wore black clothes that fluttered in the wind like a blooming lotus flower.

He blushed and glared. I don't have any money! You money fox!

For a moment, he was as cold as ice. His hand raised and his blade fell, causing blood to splash five feet into the air.

Hu Ying sighed and opened her eyes. The person who appeared in the meditation knew who it was by the toes of his feet. She didn't consider herself to be an emotional and awkward person. She believed that she was capable of accepting anything to the greatest extent. Regarding Qin Lingmo's appearance in her meditation, there was only one possibility.

That was …

Clang!

The door to the tavern was suddenly pushed open. Immediately, a troop of guards rushed in and surrounded Hu Ying, who was still sitting on the table.

The last one to enter was Jin Xiao. He was dressed in formal attire, looking very handsome. However, his expression was gloomy and anxious. It was obvious that he did not want to come in and meet with Hu Ying in this manner.

"This is?" Hu Ying was unperturbed. If he wanted to scare her, he would need at least a bunch of smelly Taoists to have any effect. Jin Xiao's lips quivered as he frowned. He could not bear to disobey Hu Ying's order, so he could only clasp his hands at Hu Ying, "It was an order from the Ministry of Justice to capture Miss Hu for interrogation. "Originally, it should be about the supervising division. I was worried that they would be too rough, so I requested that you personally come …"

"Oh." Hu Ying merely acknowledged before she asked again after a short pause, "Why?"

Jin Xiao's face suddenly revealed an expression of extreme pain, but he tried his best to suppress it. He spoke slowly, apparently trying to keep his emotions from leaking out. "Yes, there are some things that I need Miss Hu's cooperation with me." Can we leave here first? "

"Yes." Hu Ying wasn't stupid. She could see that Jin Xiao had a lot of things he wanted to say. Furthermore, he was in such a pained and oppressed state. Clearly, this matter must be very serious.

Hu Ying jumped down from the table and stretched out her hands, "Don't you need to tie it up?"

"No need, with me here, no one will be rude to you." Jin Xiao spoke very seriously. A man like him would keep his word, or else he wouldn't have spoken.

Hu Ying knew what was good for her and smiled, "Thank you."

Jin Xiao's face reddened for a moment. Then, he stretched out his hand and withdrew his troops. He walked in front with Hu Ying, while the guards followed in a neat line, so that they looked more like a princess out on a tour than an arrest.

"It must be serious, so you should tell me in advance." Hu Ying paused, then raised her head and asked, "Is it related to Ling Mo?"

Jin Xiao was startled. "How did you know?" The news should not have leaked out. "

"If I don't steal nor rob in White Peony City, other nobles and nobles don't have any connections other than doing business here. For the Ministry of Justice to order people to arrest them, it must be related to you. For Young Master Jin to come and capture him, Ling Mo must be the culprit. "

Jin Xiao put away his surprise. His expression returned to a serious one. He was silent for a while before saying, "Something happened to Ling Mo."

Although Hu Ying had already guessed it beforehand, after hearing the confirmation from Jin Xiao, his heart still skipped a beat. What kind of person was Qin Lingmo? He was the most popular chancellor of the dynasty. What could be so serious that he couldn't handle it?

Jin Xiao deliberately lowered his voice as he said, "The only thing I can tell you is that Ling Mo is in a very dire situation right now, but his life is not in danger right now. "To make a long story short, a few days ago, the wine that was sent to the palace was found to have been scattered around Five Stones. The mansion also found some materials for it, and Lord Cai insisted that it was Ling Mo that ordered Miss Hu to do it, in order to frame the Emperor."

"This is impossible!" Hu Ying's voice suddenly became louder.

"My father didn't believe it either, but right now the Emperor doesn't listen to anything at all. The Old Marquis had also done the same thing in the past. Now, he was either following the flow and supporting Lord Cai, or watching from the other side of the water like a fence-sitter. "As for my father, he will not be of any use to you all. I am very worried about Lingmo. However, I am more worried about you right now."

Jin Xiao gazed at Hu Ying with worry and anxiety in his eyes. It was pure and without any impurities. He was concerned about his friend and worried about the torture that Hu Ying was about to face. However, with his official position, he was unable to prevent this from happening.

Hu Ying smiled and comforted him instead, "It's alright, I know what to do." She was a Nine Heavens Flying Fox. Even if her magic power was limited, it was still more than enough to deal with mortals.

It was true that she was not worried for herself. However, the moment she thought of Qin Lingmo, her delicate eyebrows furrowed and her expression darkened. When Jin Xiao saw her expression, he assumed that she was worried about the torture later. He wanted to console her, but he didn't know what to say.

The interrogation was held in the Board of Punishments of the Ministry of Justice. In the austere lobby, there was a signboard with the words' A bright mirror hangs high in the ceiling '. The Minister of Justice Cui Zhen sat on the highest seat in the hall. On both sides were silent lines of soldiers, armed with clubs and with serious faces.

Jin Xiao couldn't participate in the torture. After he sent Hu Ying inside, he could only stand guard outside the door.

As soon as Hu Ying came in, she looked left and right with a leisurely and satisfied expression, as if she didn't care about the early spring. This was the first time she saw such a place for interrogating a prisoner. She pinched her chin as she stared at the red pillar, trying to figure out if she could go over later and carve the words' Qing Qiu Mountain Hu Ying here '.

"How dare you cause trouble for the people! "Why aren't you kneeling when you see me!" Cui Zhen smacked the wood and yelled.

"What crime have I committed? You have to have a reason to kneel. " Hu Ying stood confidently in the middle of the hall.

"You troublemaker! "The evidence is you trying to frame His Majesty!" Cui Zhen glared, his sallow face seemed to have been coated with a layer of oil. "Quickly tell me, how did you collude with Qin Lingmo, and what kind of conspiracy are you plotting? If you tell me honestly, I'll report it to the emperor and spare your life!"

"I didn't do anything. There's nothing to explain."

"You're still not admitting it!" Your accomplice, Prime Minister Qin has already spoken to you. If you don't speak now, you will be put to death! "

"Oh? What did he say? " Hu Ying remained calm and composed.

Cui Zhen glared at the Grand Master who was standing beside him. The latter hurriedly brought a piece of lawsuit paper in front of Hu Ying. She took it and glanced at it, then tossed it behind her. Then, with a face full of pity, he looked at Cui Zhen, who was in the main judge position, "Big brother, even if you're lying, you have to have the ability to deceive. Not everyone can be a liar, especially when their brains are lacking."

"You bitch! How dare you! " Cui Zhen slapped the wood until it looked like he was about to faint from anger, "You are so stubborn, you are so sinful, come! Punishment! "

Following the order, the surrounding soldiers stepped forward, intending to suppress Hu Ying. However, these young lads couldn't catch her no matter how hard they tried. He turned around and dodged. Just as he was about to catch him, he slipped away. Anxious to the point that they were sweating profusely, Hu Ying was in a good mood as she was surrounded by a group of people who were twisting and turning in circles.

"Sigh, I'm here."

A melodious voice rang out from behind them, causing the soldiers to turn around in unison. When they saw Hu Ying, who was originally surrounded by them, actually sitting at Master's table, they couldn't help but be taken aback. They looked at each other in dismay, at a loss of what to do.

Cui Zhen was also stunned. That Grand Master was holding a brush and was staring at Hu Ying with his mouth agape. In the blink of an eye, the girl was sitting at his desk.

"If you want to fake something, you need to understand the quality, texture and insides of the real thing. What kind of person was Ling Mo? Even if he had committed a crime to the point of death, he would definitely kill the person who had harmed him before he died. This kind of false confession would definitely not be written. " Hu Ying looked at Grand Master and gave a gentle smile, "Also, your calligraphy is really ugly. It's not even as good as a fox's."

In a split-second, the Grand Master saw Hu Ying's smile, which carried a strange expression. From her pink lips, sharp canine teeth could be seen. A furry fox tail reached out and slapped his face. He was so shocked that he cried out.

"Lord, Lord!" This woman is a fox spirit! " The Grand Master scrambled to grab the corner of Cui Zhen's shirt.

"That's right, she is a fox spirit who seduced the current prime minister to plot against the emperor." Cui Zhen didn't see anything just now. In fact, other than Grand Master, no one else saw Hu Ying's peculiar expression.

The Grand Master saw that Cui Zhen had misinterpreted his words and wanted to explain. However, when he turned his head and saw Hu Ying laughing at him, he was immediately scared speechless.

"Since you aren't willing to give an explanation, then don't blame me for being merciless and putting her in prison! "The crime of conspiring against an accomplice is a crime to be punished!"

Although the soldiers were surprised by Hu Ying's sudden movements, they did not think of the devilish path and instead went forward to capture Hu Ying. This time, the fox girl didn't tease them, instead, she obediently went to the prison.

She needed to think carefully about what she should do next to help Ling Mo.

Sectarian Prison

The interior of the room was relatively clean. There was a pile of grass to the left of the room and a small, old wooden table in the corner to the right. There were bowls and a candlestick on the table.

Qin Lingmo stood in the middle of the room with the fence in front of him. Weak sunlight shone through the narrow windows in the wall behind him, filling the air with tiny specks of dust.

His expression was a little fuzzy, and his thoughts drifted about in the dust until he heard the voices of the clan's guards outside the prison door.

Cai Liuzhen had been thinking about it for a long time. He had imagined locking up Qin Lingmo many times, ever since the day he became an official in the imperial court. They were naturally born enemies. Because their goals were different and their methods were different, their final benefits were also different. Now, he finally had his wish. Of course, he was very careful. Before he reached the final step, he couldn't say that he had succeeded.

At the very least, Qin Lingmo was in the cage, while he was outside.
