Chapter 393 Don’t Try to Bully Me. Who Doesn’t Have a Cat?

The emperor was so angry that he put his hands on his waist and gasped, with a storm gathering between his eyebrows.

Lord Lu, the commander of the imperial guards, walked in hurriedly. Seeing the emperor's face, he hesitated to speak.

"What happened again? Tell me!" The emperor was angry and spoke in a bad tone.

Commander Lu bowed his head: "Your Majesty, the Li family's affairs may not be that simple. Li Hai's illegitimate son Li Linghao also wants to see you."

The emperor hated the Li family at this time.

"I don't want to listen to their excuses and quibbles. They just want to plead for mercy. Li Yuyi took Ningning's credit and said it was his own. Whose contribution does Li Linghao want to steal?"

However, Commander Lu raised his head and looked deeply: "Your Majesty, Li Linghao wants to... report the fact that his father Li Hai brutally killed Zhang Liuye."

The emperor turned around suddenly, his expression changed: "Send!"

After a while, Li Linghao, who was only seven years old, was brought to the emperor in prison clothes.

He was thin and pale, and he had only been in prison for a few days. How could he be tortured like this?

Commander Lu whispered in the emperor's ear: "I just learned from inquiries that he was born to a maid in the Li Mansion. After the maid died, he was sent to Madam Li to be raised."

"But, because Lord Li didn't pay much attention to him, Madam Li would beat and scold him at will, and take it out on him. When Li Hai planned to set fire to and kill Master Zhang Liu, he was hiding in Li Hai's study to avoid Madam Li's scolding, so he knew everything."

Therefore, Li Linghao, who had been tortured since childhood, was shorter and thinner than children of the same age.

The emperor lowered his eyes: "Tell me everything you know, and I will consider sparing your life. Otherwise, you will be more guilty and die more miserably than them."

Shen Ningning was waiting in the Zichen Palace.

Mo Lingwei met with ministers in the main hall, and the little guy was waiting for Li Linghao in the back hall.

As early as last night, she met Li Linghao in advance under Mo Lingwei's arrangement.

I believe he can report everything he knows clearly.

Shen Ningning leaned on the soft couch under the window and reached out to stroke the lynx lying beside her.

This lynx is as long as a leopard, with two tufts of black hair hanging from its pointed ears.

Its wild eyes swept towards the door from time to time, looking at the group of eunuchs standing outside.

If Shen Ningning was not here, it really wanted to taste human taste.

"Big cat, don't drool. This is a carpet tributed by Persia. If it is stained by your saliva, how can I explain to my brother!" Shen Ningning patted the lynx's head with her little hand.

So, the leopard-like lynx immediately fell down, exposing its belly, and made a low howling sound from its mouth, as if it was playing tricks.

Shen Ningning chuckled and rubbed its two ears with her little hand.

She brought the lynx into the palace today just to know what a super big cat is when she meets the black cat!

Humph, but coincidentally, she didn't see the black cat all the way to Zichen Palace today.

After an hour.

Li Linghao was brought to Zichen Palace.

Shen Ningning met the thin boy again in the back hall.

"Your Highness, I... I have told the emperor everything I said. Will the emperor really spare my life?" Li Linghao's eyes flickered. The habit of living cautiously under Mrs. Li for many years made him extremely inferior and sensitive.

Shen Ningning's face was pale and her pretty black eyes were full of water.

"Don't worry, if you tell the truth, the emperor will certainly give you a break."

Shen Ningning also interrogated Li Linghao before she knew that Mr. Zhang Liu's death was indeed man-made.

She also knew the facts of the fire case.

It turned out that the process of planting sweet potatoes was very difficult.

In addition to dealing with the cold weather, Master Zhang Liu also had to manage the relationship with officials at all levels so that they could cooperate and help when necessary.

Li Yuyi's father, Li Hai, as the prefect of Nanzhou and the largest local official, constantly found various reasons to ask Master Zhang Liu to give money as a tribute.

Under the layers of exploitation, Master Zhang Liu was miserable. Finally, when Li Hai opened his mouth again, the two had a fierce quarrel.

Master Zhang Liu threatened to tell Shen Ningning about Li Hai's crimes, which led to his death.

What accidental fire, everyone fell asleep after drinking, in fact, they were drugged.

When Li Linghao told Shen Ningning what he had overheard, the little guy clenched his fists angrily.

Li Hai, the corrupt official, destroyed not only Master Zhang Liu's hard work, but also the lives of most of the people in Cangyun at that time!

In fact, Li Linghao had always wanted to find an opportunity to tell this matter, but he had no background and was afraid of retaliation.

With Shen Ningning's encouragement and promise last night, he dared to meet the emperor today and report everything.

"By the way, are you sure Xie Yuanjiu didn't participate in this plan?" Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Linghao.

Together with the lynx, they stared at him with a cold look.

Li Linghao shrank his neck in fear and said bluntly: "No, no! I only heard that my father planned it, but I didn't hear that the young lady of the Xie family participated."

Shen Ningning pouted and felt suspicious.

Xie Yuanjiu and Li Yuyi have such a good relationship, would she not intervene at all?

Li Linghao seemed to know so much, so Shen Ningning stopped asking him.

Half an incense stick passed, and Mo Lingwei returned from the main hall.

Seeing the prince, Li Linghao knelt on the ground and trembled with pressure: "Your Highness the Prince."

"Well," Mo Lingwei glanced at him, then walked to Shen Ningning, his voice gentle and low: "Father has just ordered to pardon Li Linghao's crime."

After Li Linghao reported the facts, the emperor summoned the Li family servants who knew about it and questioned them one by one.

Finally, the truth was revealed.

What Li Linghao said was true, so he should be let off, but the emperor was furious and ordered the execution of the rest of the Li family!

They don't even have to go to Mobei, they can go directly to see the King of Hell.

Mo Lingwei sat next to Shen Ningning and drank a sip of water from her teacup to moisten his dry throat.

He nodded, and the eunuch next to him brought a tray.

Mo Lingwei looked at Li Linghao and said coldly, "There are 100 taels of silver, 400 taels of silver notes, and a house deed in Wangcheng, Zhangzhou. Ten servants have been arranged for you to follow outside the palace."

"Although my father has pardoned you, you are a descendant of the Li family after all. I hope you can leave the capital and live somewhere else."

Li Linghao was flattered. He was eager to leave the capital, otherwise, his lawsuit against his biological father would sooner or later become a topic of accusation against him.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" He knelt down and kowtowed, his voice grateful.

Mo Lingwei pursed his lips: "Thank you, Princess. If it weren't for her desperate plea to let me spare your life, I would not have left a single person alive in the entire Li family."

Li Linghao quickly knelt down and changed direction, and kowtowed to Shen Ningning again.

Finally, he was led out of the palace with his things by the palace servants.

Shen Ningning patted her skirt: "Okay, I'm going back too!"

Mo Lingwei paused while drinking tea and raised his eyes: "Are you in a hurry to leave when you see I'm useless? You won't talk to me anymore?"

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "But my brother is very busy. Don't think I don't know. There must be many ministers waiting for you to discuss matters in the main hall."

Mo Lingwei laughed.

He really couldn't hide it from her. He was afraid that she would be bored waiting alone, so he asked the ministers to wait, and he went back to the back hall to stay with Shen Ningning for a while.

But the government affairs piled up, and Shen Ningning wanted to leave again, so Mo Lingwei didn't force her to stay.

He told the palace servants to use the sedan chair to send the little guy out of the palace.

However, the sedan chair was moving steadily on the palace road, and suddenly, Shen Ningning heard a sharp cat cry.

The eunuchs carrying the sedan outside had already shouted: "Ouch! The black cat is here again!"

"Hurry, it's jumped down, it must be going to scratch us."

Shen Ningning felt that the sedan was moving faster.

She lifted the curtain and saw that the black cat was indeed chasing the wall, running all the way, and it seemed that it was determined to scratch them.

The little guy puffed up his pink cheeks: "I'm waiting for you! Big cat, go!"

At her command, the lynx curled up at her feet rushed out like a brown hurricane.
