Chapter 147: A dilemma
Yu Moji closed his eyes in despair.
She also knew in her heart that she was arguing with Ling Jingcheng here, but she was actually fighting against the entire Great Qi Imperial Court with her own strength. This move is tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car. If she continued to be stubborn like this, Ling Jingcheng was afraid that even she would have to be sent to the Criminal Department.
Yu Moji's face was silent, but he pinched his fingers fiercely in his hands. Although Ling Jingcheng was so certain, it would take some time for Aman's guilt to be completely decided. Yu Mochen felt that she couldn't even convince herself, but she kept silently thinking in her heart, and if she thought about it again, she would always find a way.
Aman's affairs can't find a chance to turn around for the time being; Yu Mochen had no choice but to take a deep breath, first to calm himself down, and then asked in a calmest tone as much as possible, "What about the rest of the people?" β
Ling Jingcheng glanced at her and said, "Why, at this point, you still want to try your best to alleviate their crimes?" β
"It's me who has a lot to do." Despite this, Yu Mojian's face was full of calmness, "But not all captives are as unforgivable as Aman. Besides, the techniques I learned from Aman came from Jiangshan Ship in the final analysis. I'm afraid that the works left by people who have committed serious crimes, even if they are useful, will be restricted, right? β
As she spoke, it was as if a picture scroll was unfolding in her mind. It contains the glorious history of the Cardinal's imprint on the walls of the corridor where it was admitted. In the past, the names and works of those Yanshi have been passed down through the ages; But for someone like Aman, she is likely to be punished with death soon. Will the knowledge she has studied, if it are to be popularized and used in the future, be affected by her own guilt?
"Didn't you say that before?" Ling Jingcheng looked at her coldly, "There are no two branches of Yanjia, the court and the people. β
"But, Lord Ling, you have already corrected me." Yu Mochen smiled helplessly, "Besides, after talking to Aman in the past few days, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the difference between the concept of Jiangshan Boat's set of knowledge and the direction of the Cardinal's focus is still very obvious. Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but those who really understand the study of Yanjia must be able to perceive it. β
As she spoke, she glanced quickly at her manuscript, "Your Excellency, you will understand my speculation when you have seen these manuscripts." In the future, when these learnings will be passed down and recorded in history, how will they be told? If someone is bored and has to get to the bottom of it, does the Cardinal have to insist on putting under its own name the knowledge it has learned from others? β
Without waiting for Ling Jingcheng to speak, she shook her head to herself and said in a puff, "I also know how offensive I am when I say this. However, it is unfair that the people on the ship of the country have given us skills, and the Cardinal has not even been able to disclose the origin of these knowledge. Furthermore," Yu Mochen looked at Ling Jingcheng's eyes sincerely, "I have heard that Lord Ling tried his best to accept me into the Cardinal Council in order to override the public opinion in order to actually have a great plan for the Great Qi Empire to educate foreign races and unify the country. This time, if we can take the opportunity of fusion technology to get the ship back on track, it will also be of great benefit to the Great Qi Empire. β
Ling Jingcheng was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that after only two years of work, you would become so sharp-tongued." He turned, and as he walked out the door, he said, "Go ahead and transcribe." Don't forget about the drawings. β
He walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and added, "Lu Chen and Yuan Zhizhi both said that you are a person who respects teachers and respects the way. I don't think that's the case now, but I have to warn you. Although you were not a Qi person before, you are now in the military of the Cardinal. If you still care about your future and life, don't take the wrong position at a critical moment. β
His words were really not good, but Yu Moji's heart, which seemed to have been soaked in ice water, was slightly relieved. Although Ling Jingcheng did not explicitly say whether he would adopt her opinion, since he still had the heart to think about the future for her, he should have listened to what she said.
She hurriedly bowed deeply to Ling Jingcheng's back, thanked her sincerely, and obediently returned to her seat, stepped up her speed, and continued to transcribe the knowledge that required a lot of pen and ink to be understood by others.
Although she had not been in good spirits and had written quite seriously, she had now stuffed so many things into her mind that her handwriting had become much more sloppy, and she no longer described them in as much detail as before, but as concise and omitted as she could, and in some places even replaced them with symbols that only she could understand. She still remembered that she owed Ling Jingcheng a picture, but with her current state of mind, she really couldn't care about it so much.
She completed this as fast as she could, then took the thick stack of paper in her arms and ran towards Yanfentang almost without touching the ground.
Ling Jingcheng only said that he asked her to find the Lantai secretary in charge of books, but he did not specify which one it was; Yu Mochen forcibly pretended to be only half of the listen, and when he arrived at the place, he asked Ling Ai where he wasβanyway, Ling Ai seemed to be in charge of everything on weekdays, and if Yu Moji said that she had misremembered Ling Ai's duties, others would have nothing to suspect.
Fortunately, she was lucky, Ling Ai was often sent everywhere to help, and on this day she was stationed in Yanfen Hall.
Ling Ai smiled when he saw Yu Moji coming, "I heard that you came back, but I haven't seen each other." Her eyes swept over Yu Moji's face, and she said a little worriedly, "What's the matter with you, your face is so bad?" β
Yu Mochen looked at her a little embarrassed, suppressed his voice slightly, and said, "I have an urgent matter that I want to discuss with you." β
Ling Ai's expression became more and more amused. But she only finished what she was doing in a few clicks, then stood up, and quietly turned a few corners with the ink marks, and went around into a secluded small room, before saying, "There is no one here, and I am sometimes sleepy, and I will come here to take a sneak rest - say, what is it?" β
Yu Moji briefly explained the matter of the group of captives on the Jiangshan ship, and then said, "I want to ask you to help you call up a record." β
She was grateful in her heart that Ling Jingcheng was real, and she didn't plan to follow his wishes, which was also true.
"Yes, colluding with me to hide it from my father. Many people in the Cardinal want to do this, but they have never been so blatant as you. Ling Ai said this, but there was no reproach in his eyes, more curiosity, "What do you want?" Let's talk about it first, although I am leading the idle position of the secretary of Lantai, and my authority is a little higher than that of the little Yanshi who has just been promoted, I really can't save the Aman who taught you the science of Yanjia. β
"I know." Yu Mochen hurriedly said, "I didn't come to you for this matter. Although there was no one here, she still had a cautious attitude, "The Criminal Department should leave a draft summary of the case when they take away those prisoners, right?" This is what she wrote down when she helped the Criminal Department to check the Xuannu Sect before.
Ling Ai nodded, but said, "But it takes some process to call that kind of file, and it takes a few people to go through in the middle, and my father will also know about it." In particular, before the final decision of the Criminal Department has been made, it is even more troublesome to consult the file. She clearly didn't intend to break the rules of the Cardinals, "Besides, even if you get that record, what can you do with it?" β
Yu Mojian shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't need to call that file, and I don't want to know the facts of the case." I just want you to help me see if the captives who were taken away were mortal sins, and if there was any possibility that I could work hard. β
When Ling Ai heard this, his eyes looking at Yu Moji instantly had a bit of a sharp meaning.
Yu Moji felt that his words were a little scary as he spoke, and hurriedly made up for it, "I didn't plan to rob the prison...... I was thinking that since I couldn't do what I had promised them, I couldn't let them go if I had the opportunity to speak for them in the future. As long as these people are alive, even if they are locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, there should be some hope. β
Yu Moji said, and thought quite weakly that what she could do for these people might not be too much; Even so, she plans to give it a try.
Ling Ai pondered for a while, then held his cheeks and analyzed, "Your idea is quite thoughtful. It's just that the Criminal Department left us only a draft, and the subsequent resolution is likely to change. She thought about it again before she said, "It's better than this." I'll keep an eye on you, but we also have to abide by the rules of the Council, and I won't tell you about these things until the final result is reached on the side of the Criminal Department; It's just that after the case has been decided, I will help you ask the criminal department about the handling, so that you don't know the wrong information and worry about it. β
Yu Mochen nodded gratefully and said sincerely, "You always have a way." β
"It's not forced out yet." Ling Ai smiled self-deprecatingly, "Friends and fathers have to be taken care of, and filial piety has never been able to achieve both." β
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, she led Yu Moji around for a while, and went to the library instead. Yu Moji had already told her the source and purpose of the stack of densely packed paper in her hand, and Ling Ai took her to the Lantai secretary in the library by the way, and recorded the manuscript and put it in the library. After Ling Ai finished doing this, Shi Shiran walked back to Yanfen Hall with a relaxed and happy pace as usual.
There seems to be nothing in the world that is difficult for her. Maybe it's because there are already too many things that have embarrassed her.
Yu Moji watched her leave, but before Ling Ai could walk around the first corner, Ling Jingcheng appeared in front of Ling Ai. He glanced at Yu Moji from a distance, and Yu Moji was shocked in his heart, maybe the straight path was not good.
Sure enough, while talking to Ling Ai, Ling Jingcheng beckoned to her quite seriously and asked her to step forward.
At this point, there is no room for Yu Moji to escape. She didn't know if Ling Jingcheng knew that she had gone to find Ling Ai, so she could only put on a shy face first, hurriedly stepped forward, and said to Ling Jingcheng, "Hello Lord Ling." β
Ling Jingcheng waved his hand first and pushed Ling Ai away; Seeing Ling Ai walking away, he said, "There is something you may want to know. He glanced deeply at Yu Moji, "He Man is dead." β
