"I heard you unveiled that Buddha's face at Huanlou, and behind it was Li Du, right?" Xu Chuo said, "The positions of Minister and Left Deputy Minister are currently vacant, and he, serving as the Right Deputy Minister, has been the 'Prime Minister of Great Tang' for ten years."
Pei Ye silently nodded. Lying in bed these past few nights, this matter had also been on his mind. He had always believed in the principle of an eye for an eye, no matter what one's identity or status, the victims in Carp Pavilion and Winter Prison must be repaid with the perpetrator's life, not merely absolved by transcribing scripture and wasting a fortune.
