Chapter 1094: Prime Minister Cao complained about punishing Ling'er, but the result was a compl
Meng Ling'er and her guards used Cao Yunwen and his followers as bait, which not only scared them so much that they screamed in regret, but also allowed them to shoot the beasts under the trees from a distance without having to hunt everywhere.
You know, there are not many wild beasts in the hunting ground. If you want to chase and hunt them, you may not be able to encounter them if you are unlucky.
The guards, who were particularly worried about something happening at first, gave thumbs up to their little princess's trick of killing two birds with one stone.
Meng Ling'er did not send people to chase and intercept the animals, but instead took two hunting experts to kill twelve wolves, four wild boars, two leopards and a tiger.
They are all beasts, this record has never happened before.
The king and the crown prince were happy for Meng Ling'er, and other ministers also followed suit, praising the little princess for her extraordinary wisdom and hunting skills that were unmatched among her peers.
At this moment, Cao Yunwen, who was released, and the ten followers who were hung up together were all frightened.
They were all carried by servants and followed the aggressive Right Prime Minister Cao Luli in a mighty procession to file a complaint with the king and the crown prince.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, please take care of this matter for my son and his guards!"
Cao Luli was in tears and wailed, looking very miserable.
When the king and the prince saw this situation, they knew that something was wrong and the little princess was in trouble again.
The prince immediately comforted him:
"Prime Minister Cao, what are you doing? If there is something wrong, please explain it clearly in front of everyone."
Lord Prime Minister Cao was a master of debate, and he immediately recounted the whole story in great detail.
The previous reason was not mentioned at all, but the focus was on describing in great detail the process of Meng Linger and her guards hanging up his son and the guards as bait.
Meng Ling'er listened carefully, nodding her head as she listened, thinking to herself, "It seems Fatty Cao and his guards were faking their unconsciousness. Otherwise, how could Prime Minister Cao describe the entire process in such detail?"
After Cao Xiang finished filing the complaint, he asked the king and the crown prince to help his son.
The prince immediately ordered the imperial physician to examine Cao Gongzi's injuries. At the same time, he was thinking about how to appease Prime Minister Cao and stop pursuing the matter without causing his daughter to be severely punished.
Meng Ling'er waited until Prime Minister Cao finished his complaint, then she understood the look in the Crown Prince's eyes and expression. He was asking her to quickly explain herself.
She nodded to the Prince Daddy, then calmly stepped forward, saluted the King and the Prince Daddy, and said loudly:
"Master Cao, please don't rush to complain. Don't rush to make me take responsibility.
Do you know what your grandson did to the daughter of the Minister of Rites at the hunting ground?"
Cao Luli was stunned. He didn't expect Meng Linger to turn the tables.
Meng Linger then recounted in detail how Cao Yunwen bullied Han Yunxi.
The king and the prince's expressions grew serious.
Cao Luli was still trying to argue, but Meng Linger continued, "My followers saw it with their own eyes, and Miss Han's followers can also testify.
I only gave him a light punishment to let him know the consequences of bullying. Moreover, she is a daughter of an official family, how could I allow him to bully me like that?
If I hadn't arrived in time and saved Miss Han's innocence, I'm afraid Cao Yunwen would have been sued by the Minister of Rites today."
Meng Ling'er was reminding the Minister of Rites that it was time to take the stage.
The king nodded and said to Cao Luli, "My dear Cao, your grandson was indeed at fault in this matter.
Ling'er punished him to teach him a lesson and did not cause him any physical harm.
Instead, shouldn't you give an explanation to Minister Han and his daughter? "The Crown Prince also echoed.
When Cao Luli heard what the king and the prince said, he dared not make trouble anymore.
At this time, Han Muxi, the Minister of Rites, came forward with an angry face and accused Cao Yunwen of bullying his daughter.
He accused Prime Minister Cao of failing to educate his grandson strictly and allowing him to bully girls from decent families. Not only did he fail to discipline his grandson, he also protected his grandson's evil deeds and turned around to falsely accuse the princess who saved his daughter.
Prime Minister Cao was also confused for a moment and did not ask the cause of the incident. Moreover, his grandson and followers knew that they were in the wrong, and did not dare to tell the truth when faced with Prime Minister Cao's questions.
Lord Prime Minister Cao was really disappointed when he looked at his grandson. He didn't explain the reason clearly. Now that he failed to file a complaint, he had to apologize to Han Muxi, a young junior, and even go to her house to make amends. It was really embarrassing!
Lord Prime Minister Cao apologized to Minister Han, and amidst a barrage of scolding, he hurriedly ordered the servants to send the young master back home and put him under house arrest for a month.
The followers who committed the crime together were beaten with thirty sticks and exiled.
He also promised Minister Han that when they returned to the city after hunting, he would definitely send his daughter-in-law to visit the frightened Miss Han with gifts. He wanted to apologize and calm Miss Han down!
Prime Minister Cao left in disgrace with Cao Yunwen and his entourage.
Meng Ling'er raised her head proudly.
This time she successfully resolved a crisis and made Cao Yunwen suffer a great loss.
Not only did the king grandfather not punish her, he also gave her many rewards.
Meng Ling'er became famous in that battle. No one dared to offend her or get close to her.
