Li Rong didn't speak, and she didn't know what happened. When she heard Pei Wenxuan say this, she was inexplicable, and her heart was sour.
It's just that she felt that this emotion made her a little uncomfortable, she took her hand out of Pei Wenxuan's hand, got up and said, "How old are you to talk about this? Pretentious."
Saying that, Li Rong stood up: "I'll go to Aya, you should rest more first, the imperial doctor said, you've been working too hard these days, sleep more."
"I'll go with Your Highness."
Pei Wenxuan followed Li Rong to get up. Li Rong was about to speak when he heard Pei Wenxuan say: "Go early and come back early, let's go together."
Seeing that Pei Wenxuan was determined, Li Rong knew that he should have something to do, and she no longer stopped her, nodded, and went to the Inspectorate with Pei Wenxuan.
Shangguanya took Li Rong's words early, and was investigating the officials who were to be reassigned by the Ministry of Personnel. When Li Rong arrived, Shangguanya listened to the reports of the people below. When Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan came in, Shangguanya He stood up hurriedly: "His Royal Highness, Consort, why are you here?"
"I'll ask the situation."
Li Rong entered the room and sat down with Pei Wenxuan: "Now the royal father is going to find out who was the person who transferred Pei Wenxuan to the position of the official minister. Do you have any clues now?"
"Just now, I have asked people who have been transferred to the director of the Ministry of Personnel to read it, and no suspicious people have been found so far."
Shangguanya frowned: "Since they dared to do it, I'm afraid they came prepared. Now it's not easy to investigate afterward."
"What if you check their accounts?"
Li Rong frowned: "They can't do things for Concubine Rou for nothing, right?"
"Check the account, it can be checked."
Shangguanya thoughtfully said: "There is no evidence or evidence, and I don't search the government. I'm afraid I won't be able to get this kind of internal account at present."
What Shangguanya said is also the difficulty of reality.
If there is no suspicious person among the contacts, it will be very difficult to find out who decided Pei Wenxuan's transfer.
Shangguan Ya is difficult to check, and Li Ming is afraid that it is difficult to check. If you didn't keep an eye on it in advance, it would be difficult to go back to check people.
"I was careless," Li Rong tapped on the table, "It's time to keep everyone in the staff watching."
"His Royal Highness is joking," Shangguanya poured tea for Li Rong, "don't say that they would never have imagined that they would bring the concubine up. Even if I did, we don't have so many people, and we can only focus on a few key people. I decided. There are seven officials who have been promoted to officials of the fifth rank and above, and it is impossible for us to keep an eye on them all.”
Shangguanya said while looking at Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan: "It's just such a matter, what is your Highness going to do now?"
Li Rong didn't speak, she rubbed the teacup, as if thinking.
Pei Wenxuan glanced at Li Rong and said directly, "It's not easy to find evidence directly, but is your Majesty the one who needs evidence?"
Shangguanya was a little dazed. Li Rong explained: "My father is suspicious. Now that I have sued Hua Le, he actually has an idea in his heart. We don't need hard evidence. What we need is just a clue to prove his thoughts."
Shangguanya didn't speak, she pondered, and Pei Wenxuan said slowly, "Just give him one."
"I understand."
Shangguanya calmed down and said, "Do you think that if the eldest son of the Su family and the left servant of the Ministry of Personnel, Xia Wensi, recruited prostitutes together, is this evidence enough for your majesty to be sure of what he thinks?"
Su Ronghua was the teacher of King Su, and he never asked about the state affairs. When he couldn't find out who arranged Pei Wenxuan to enter the official department, Su Ronghua and Xia Wensi were suddenly arrested for recruiting prostitutes, which made people wonder.
Li Rong frowned in thought, and Pei Wenxuan responded decisively, "Enough."
With that said, Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes and looked at Shangguanya: "I just don't know, Miss Shangguan, how to do this? Although the eldest son of Su is stubborn, he has always been far away from the court, and rarely makes friends with courtiers, let alone in such a storm. I will recruit prostitutes with the left servant who can decide the position of the official servant."
"I can do this."
Shangguanya raised her hand and said directly: "Since the concubine is still at the censor's desk, that's just right. I'll go to someone first to make sure the matter is settled. I'm responsible for making the matter of asking Su Da Gongzi and Zuo Shilang to recruit prostitutes together. How to stab your majesty is up to your majesty."
"You do it first."
Li Rong said decisively: "As long as this matter is serious, I can arrange for someone to sue it."
"Row."
Shangguanya nodded, she thought about it, and then said: "His Royal Highness and the concubine go to rest first, I will arrange this matter."
Li Rong responded and went back with Pei Wenxuan.
After leaving the door, Li Rong was a little puzzled: "What do you think Aya will arrange? Will Su Ronghua listen to her?"
Pei Wenxuan's face was flat, and he put his arms together, but he couldn't see his anger and anger, and only said: "Don't worry, Miss Aya will arrange it herself."
After the two left, Shangguanya asked someone to inquire about the recent free time of Xia Wensi, the left servant of the Ministry of Personnel. Then she sat down and wrote a note to Su Ronghua:
"If you have something to ask for, I would like to have a banquet in the restaurant, and I hope that Young Master Su will appreciate your face."
After writing, she had someone send it to Su Ronghua, who was working not far away.
Su Ronghua usually pretended to be in the Supervision Division, yawned and took a nap, and as soon as Shangguanya's note was delivered, Su Ronghua felt that he had found something to do. When he saw Shangguanya's note, he knew that Shangguanya must be asking him to ask those scholars for autographs of poems. He smiled lightly and replied with a pen:
when and where
When Shangguanya saw Su Ronghua's reply, she quickly wrote a note and sent it back: "You will."
Su Ronghua looked at Shangguanya's note, he thought for a while, and he had to eat with the girl in a more romantic place.
So he waved his pen and wrote directly:
Tomorrow at the unitary hour, look at the lantern tower
This Wangdenglou is a holy place for men and women in Beijing to date. Shangguanya was in trouble when he saw this place.
Arranging to be arrested and recruiting prostitutes at this location is a bit strange.
But if she refused, she was afraid of making Su Ronghua suspicious.
Su Ronghua didn't care about everything, but he wasn't stupid. Shangguan thought about it and could only reply: See you tomorrow.
Su Ronghua got this reply, he looked at Shangguan Ya's elegant words, and let out a low laugh.
Shangguanya, this girl is interesting and fun. He has nothing to do and amused a little, which makes life a little more alive.
Huajing is too boring, and when such a lively person comes by chance, people can't help but look at him.
Su Ronghua closed his eyes, but he didn't realize it, but he actually laughed.
Youshi is the time when most courtiers are in foreign affairs. With Su Ronghua's confirmation, Shangguan Ya folded his note and the portrait he had given her before, added a tael of silver, and sent it to Xia Wensi.
After finishing the work, Shangguanya took the initiative to go to the Princess Mansion and told Li Rong about her arrangements.
"Tomorrow, I will set the room in Wang Deng Tower with Su Ronghua's name in advance, and then arrange for the girl to wait in the room. As soon as two people arrive, they will be arrested directly."
In the Great Summer Law, officials can exchange dancers at the ball, but they are not allowed to recruit prostitutes outside, but this is a painless matter, and few people check it.
Li Rong frowned after hearing Shangguanya's arrangement: "You gave Xia Wensi the note that Su Ronghua gave you, has Su Ronghua lost her name?"
"The note with the paper has fallen, but the portrait has fallen."
"How can you be sure that Xia Wensi will go to the appointment?"
"Among the things I gave him, in addition to the portrait, there is also money." Shangguanya reminded Li Rong, "The Su family has always been on good terms with the major families, and Xia Wensi should give Su Ronghua's face. Su Ronghua is currently in the Inspectorate, and he suddenly invited Xia Wensi and gave him money, what does Your Highness think Xia Wensi will think?"
Many words in the courtroom are not clear, but if a person who has been embezzled suddenly receives an invitation from the deputy director of the Inspectorate Division with money mixed in, he will naturally guess that this is something Su Ronghua told him in private about his corruption. .
"I understand." Li Rong nodded.
As it concerns his official career, Xia Wensi will definitely attend the appointment.
"I've arranged it here, but I don't know how His Highness plans to arrange it?" Seeing that Li Rong had confirmed her plan, Shangguan Ya directly began to ask Li Rong.
Li Rong smiled: "There is no need to arrange anything."
"Huh?" Shangguanya was a little puzzled, and Li Rong smiled, "Your Majesty's people are watching more closely than us, don't worry."
Shangguanya was bitten by Li Rong, and she immediately understood, raised her hand and said, "See you tomorrow, Your Highness."
Li Rong nodded, Shangguan Ya said goodbye, got up, and turned to leave.
Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan waited for a day, and Li Ming's people also began to secretly investigate the process and related personnel of the personnel department before and after the transfer.
It's just that Shangguan Yacha couldn't find it, and Li Ming's people couldn't find anything.
They couldn't find anything and couldn't communicate, so they could only stare at key personnel. All the spies stared at Xia Wensi, and when they arrived at Shen Shi, they saw Xia Wensi quietly walk out through the back door.
The two detectives looked at each other and quickly followed.
Xia Wensi wore a black cloak and got on the carriage. After sitting down, the attendant was a little puzzled and said cautiously, "My lord, why did Young Master Su set the location at a place like Wangdenglou?"
Xia Wensi was a little puzzled when he listened to the attendant's question, but thinking about Su Ronghua's character, everything is normal, he thought about it, and could only reprimand in a low voice: "This is what the eldest son of Su is brilliant at, meeting in Wangdenglou. , is also a cover-up.”
The attendant was stunned for a while. The two big men went to the place where the couple ate and opened a private room to eat, which was more eye-catching no matter how they looked at it.
When Xia Wensi rushed over to Wangdenglou, Su Ronghua also changed his clothes at home.
He has chosen this dress for nearly an hour.
He usually dresses sloppily, but today, thinking about having dinner with the girl, he took out all his clothes and picked them up. In the end, I chose a azure blue dress, with a silver crown inlaid with gems, a folding fan in my hand, and a sachet and jade pendant, and I went out the door triumphantly.
When he came to the door, Su Rongqing was coming back from outside, and when he saw Su Ronghua humming a little song as he walked out, he couldn't help laughing: "Where are you going, big brother, dressed so solemnly?"
"Are you serious?" Su Ronghua opened his hands, looked at himself, and then waved, "It's okay."
Su Rongqing smiled softly and said, "Did you have dinner with the girl?"
"You have no experience with girls, but your eyes are very vicious."
"Then don't disturb the big brother," Su Rongqing smiled and gave way, "so as not to make the girl wait for a long time."
"Okay, I'll talk to you in detail when I get back." Su Ronghua thought for a while, then laughed softly, "Maybe, can I get a sister-in-law back?"
"Then I wish the big brother a great victory."
Su Rongqing said, raising her hand to salute.
Su Ronghua became happy, he suddenly remembered: "Well, you are not too young, the family is watching you, don't you have a favorite girl now?"
Su Rongqing listened to this, but did not smile.
Su Ronghua "hiss", waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about it, I looked at my teeth like this and left."
With that said, Su Ronghua happily walked out.
Su Rongqing stood there, looking at Su Ronghua's happy back, with a little gentleness in her eyes.
The servant next to him looked at the direction where Su Ronghua was going, and sighed, "The eldest son is older than the second son, but he is like a child. I don't know when I can let the master not worry about it."
"fair enough."
Su Rongqing turned around and said gently, "Brother and father, everyone can live well and do what they like, that's enough."
"The Kesu family..."
"Isn't there me in the Su family?" Su Rongqing walked forward, with a bit of decisive determination in her smile, "Brother loves me, I am enough."
Su Rongqing said, remembering the official business of the Criminal Department, so she and the attendant asked about the official business of the Criminal Department.
Now that the Minister of Criminal Justice is about to be transferred, there is not even the slightest difference.
Su Rongqing went into the study after discussing with the people next to him. After a long time, he recovered. After drinking a sip of tea, he saw a gloomy color in the sky. Let someone pick up the eldest son."
"Second Young Master, don't worry," the little servant smiled, "This trivial matter, the servant will wake up."
Su Rongqing nodded, he thought for a while, and then he became concerned: "Who is the eldest son going to dinner with today?"
"Listen to the eldest son, it's Miss Shangguan."
The little servant said, rubbing his ink and laughing: "I heard that the eldest son is very interested, and it took an hour to choose clothes."
Su Rongqing laughed and was about to say something when she suddenly reacted and said anxiously, "Quick! Go and call the eldest son back!"
The little servant was stunned for a while, and then quickly responded: "Yes, the servant will pass."
The little servant hurried out, and Su Rongqing stopped him again: "No need."
Su Rongqing clenched his fists, he pondered: "It's too late to go there now."
The servant did not dare to speak, Su Rongqing thought for a long time, and finally said: "Prepare the carriage, I want to leave the city."
"Yes." The servant responded and left quickly.
When Su Rongqing left Huajing, Su Ronghua had just arrived at the gate of Wangdenglou.
As soon as he appeared, everyone in the dark became vigilant.
Xia Wensi had already arrived early. He was led into the room by the attendant, and he saw that the dancer was already waiting inside. Xia Wensi was used to such a scene, and even relaxed a little, thinking that Su Ronghua should not come to trouble him today. Maybe to help him.
Xia Wensi waited anxiously for Su Ronghua. After a while, he heard a noise outside. He hurried to the window and saw Su Ronghua getting off the carriage.
When Su Ronghua got off the carriage, Xiao Er recognized him. He was eating, drinking and having fun in Huajing.
"Are people here?"
"Here, I'm waiting for you."
Hearing this, Su Ronghua laughed and was quite happy. He didn't expect Shangguanya to come over earlier. After all, girls should be more reserved and like to take Qiao, but Shangguanya not only did not deliberately be late, but also waited for him in advance, which shows her sincerity. .
Although it was asking for him, it was also an attitude. Thinking of this, Su Ronghua couldn't help but feel a little more happy.
His generous attitude made Shangguan Ya who was in the teahouse not far away amazed, and Li Rong, who was watching the play together, said, "Look at him, I'm afraid there are not many out for dinner with the girls."
Li Rong smiled and nibbled on melon seeds: "Did he come to have dinner with others, what's your business?"
"Just say it."
Shangguanya said, turned her head again, and observed the movement of Wangdenglou.
As soon as Su Ronghua went upstairs, several people immediately followed him into the lookout tower.
Those people were tall and straight, and their steps were light. They were obviously trainees, different from others.
Su Ronghua went up the steps and followed Xiao Er to the door. When he was at the door, he heard the faint sound of bamboo and bamboo wind music inside. He raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled, but Xiao Er had already saluted respectfully and retired sensible. down.
He thought about it, and didn't guess much, just pushed the door and went in.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xia Wensi sitting in the room, with a girl sitting on his lap, next to a bunch of girls playing and singing, it was very lively.
Su Ronghua felt embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Sorry, I went wrong."
After saying that, Su Ronghua was about to retreat, Xia Wensi got up in a hurry and stopped Su Ronghua: "Eldest son, didn't you ask me to come?"
Hearing this, Su Ronghua stopped, turned around and frowned, "Did I call you here?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two changed dramatically, and Su Ronghua said anxiously, "You haven't seen me before."
As he said that, he turned around and walked out, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a man holding a knife in front of him, and said coldly: "I have been ordered to investigate the case, and I also asked Su Da Gongzi and Xia Shilang to come with me. ."
Xia Wensi's expression was extremely ugly. Su Ronghua faced the guard in front of him, her expression changed a bit, and finally said, "Why do you arrest me?"
"The two adults violated Xia's law and openly recruited prostitutes," the guard said calmly, "Master Su, come with us?"
Su Ronghua's complexion changed a bit, Xia Wensi knelt down very quickly, and immediately said, "This lord, I don't know anything. It was Master Su who asked me to come, and I have his handwritten letter to prove it."
Saying that, Xia Wensi spread out the two pieces of paper that Shangguanya had sent over.
As soon as Su Ronghua saw the page, his eyes were fixed on it, and the guard stepped forward to get the page. Su Ronghua took one step ahead of him, raised his hand and grabbed the page, and then stepped forward before everyone could react. The table, turned over the window, dragged the eaves from the second floor and jumped down!
The guards hurriedly chased after him, only to see Su Ronghua left behind. They looked back at their superior and frowned, "Sir, he ran away."
"It doesn't matter." The leader said calmly, "Take Xia Shilang back first, and we will wait for him at Su's house."
Having said that, the two guards dragged Xia Wensi and took the person out.
And Su Ronghua was running all the way on the road. After a while, he saw his servant waiting in the alley. Seeing him, he said a bit strangely: "Eldest son, are you coming out so soon?"
Without saying a word, Su Ronghua removed the horse from the carriage and drove away without saying a word.
The little servant was a little dazed, and said anxiously: "Eldest son, where are you going? Eldest son?!"
Su Ronghua didn't speak, he rode his horse and galloped towards the Shangguan mansion.
Shangguan Yazheng said goodbye to Li Rong, and went back to Shangguan's house. She sat in the carriage and hummed a little tune to herself. After a while, she heard a "hoo-" sound from the driver outside, and then the carriage stopped suddenly, her head straight When she hit the wall of the car, she covered her head and sucked in a breath of cold air. Just as she was about to scold, she saw the curtain of the car being slammed open.
A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes stared at her with anger, Shangguanya was stunned for a while, then she saw Su Ronghua half squatting outside the car, and sneered: "Shangguanya," his tone was cold for the first time. "You are so brave!"
