Pei Wenxuan was choked by Li Rong's actions. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "I have a small heart, and you are not thin-skinned."
He turned his face and walked forward slowly with the lamp in his hand: "You are not too young, Su Rongqing is young now, don't think about the old cow eating the tender grass."
Li Rong was silent, and Pei Wenxuan smiled: "Why, you are not happy when you say you are old?"
"I'm old, but you're not old?" Li Rong glared at Pei Wenxuan, turned her head, and said indifferently, "I just think you are too turbid and don't want to pay attention to you."
"My heart is cloudy?" Pei Wenxuan sneered, "You dare say you don't mean it?"
"Then I really dare," Li Rong explained generously. "Let Su Rongqing supervise because he is suitable. If you and I investigate this case, the courtiers will not be convinced. Let others investigate, or my uncle's person. , I will definitely help the Yang family, but I am afraid that I don't want to cause this disaster. Now, apart from Su Rongqing, who would take this hot yam? Just when Su Minzhi jumped out to speak, he asked his son to check, and the others I dare not say it.”
"You have a lot of confidence in him."
Pei Wenxuan involuntarily slowed down and spoke coldly, Li Rong walked in front, listening to Pei Wenxuan's words, couldn't help laughing: "Although the Su family avoids disaster and is upright, they are also considered noble, Rong Qing is a gentleman, and it is a matter of fact. In his hands, he will not hide."
"It's very high-sounding," Pei Wenxuan said in a flat voice, "In the last life, you told me the same thing."
"Um?"
Li Rong was a little dazed, she turned her head and saw Pei Wenxuan standing still, looking at her calmly: "When you asked me to save Su Rongqing in the last life, you also brought out the big principles to me, saying that the Su family was wronged. , When the old accounts are turned over in the future, it is not good for me, not good for Your Majesty. You said that you saved Su Rongqing for morality and nothing else, right?"
Li Rong didn't speak. The spring breeze in April was still a little cold. Pei Wenxuan looked at her quietly and asked, "What happened later?"
Li Rong was silent. Seeing Pei Wenxuan's indifferent expression, she couldn't help laughing: "Is that why you hate him?"
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a while, and Li Rong looked at his expression and asked, "Because I lied to you?"
Pei Wenxuan sneered without replying, but it was a kind of acquiescence. Li Rong raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear, and said lightly, "I said earlier, I really thought so at the time, don't you believe it? What are you talking about?"
"I'm just reminding you," Pei Wenxuan said coldly, "Don't make mistakes because of sex. You planted it in his hands in your past life, and if you still plant it in this life, then you are stupid."
"Even so, what does this have to do with you?" Li Rong heard a bit of reprimand in his tone, and was rather angry, so she looked at him coldly, "Anyway, you and I will be divorced after a few years, and it's okay for Lord Pei in this life. Don't worry, if I kill you, it will not be provoked by others."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he pursed his lips, and seemed to be in a hurry.
Li Rong sneered: "Every time you have to make a noise, you are angry with yourself. You really..."
"I won't send you off, go back by yourself." Before Li Rong finished speaking, Pei Wenxuan finally couldn't help it, hurried forward, shoved the palace lantern into Li Rong's hand, turned around and left.
Li Rong didn't expect that even if Pei Wenxuan came back from rebirth, he would not be the prime minister anymore, and his temper would still be so big. She held up the lamp and was a little stunned for a while. Pei Wenxuan took a few steps and remembered something. He raised his brows, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me some hands, people from Yang's residence are afraid to leave the city tonight."
To be angry is to be angry, and it is absolutely unambiguous to ask someone for money.
Li Rong laughed angrily, reached out to take the token, and photographed it in Pei Wenxuan's hand: "Go get someone yourself."
Pei Wenxuan didn't reply to her, he took the token and turned around and went to the Princess Mansion to find someone by himself.
Li Rong looked at the back of Pei Wenxuanji walking away. She was angry and didn't know why she was angry. After waiting for the others to walk away, she held it back for a long time, and finally calmed down, persuaded herself a few words, and warned herself that for this kind of It's not worth it to be mad at yourself.
When her emotions subsided, she said, "Let's go."
Jinglan Jingmei glanced at each other, and then approached, Jingmei looked at Li Rong and whispered, "Why did you leave, Young Master Pei?"
"He's sick."
Li Rong answered without hesitation, the maid glanced at each other, and did not dare to make a sound.
Li Rong was walking in the night wind, and after blowing the wind for a while, her mood eased a lot, and she said lightly, "Go back to the palace, see you tomorrow."
In fact, Pei Wenxuan didn't like Su Rongqing's fault, and it wasn't a matter of a day or two. Even if she was reborn, she knew that it couldn't be changed.
The two did not deal with each other from the very beginning. Pei Wenxuan felt that Su Rongqing was pretentious. Su Rongqing never said anything about Pei Wenxuan, but as long as the two stood side by side, as long as they were discerning people, they could see that there was an invisible exclusion between the two. among individuals.
It was like this when Su Rongqing was not by Li Rong's side, and it was even more so when Su Rongqing was by Li Rong's side. For a long time, he was basically in a state of having Su Rongqing but not Pei Wenxuan, and having Pei Wenxuan but not Su Rongqing.
At the beginning of the period, Li Rong also thought about whether Pei Wenxuan liked her so much in his heart, so he was jealous.
But over time, she could see that Pei Wenxuan's hostility to Su Rongqing was probably due to a little vinegar at the beginning, but later, it was just unwilling.
Su Rongqing became famous at a young age. He was born in a noble family, and his parents loved him. Almost all the best things in the world were given to him. And Pei Wenxuan is also a noble son, but after trial and error, when Pei Wenxuan faced Su Rongqing at a young age, he became jealous.
Later, she managed to marry her, and then she supported the family by herself. She could be described as a hero, but at this time she chose Su Rongqing instead of him, which was a great humiliation for Pei Wenxuan.
Pei Wenxuan is not jealous, Pei Wenxuan just hates Su Rongqing.
In the early years, Pei Wenxuan might have had a bit of a favorable impression of her in his heart, but this favorable impression has long since faded away.
Self-knowledge, Li Rong is used to it. She is not a popular girl at all, and she and Pei Wenxuan are fighting for power and interests to hurt each other. Pei Wenxuan is afraid of getting tired of her.
It's just that Pei Wenxuan is a kind person. He has been in the world for a long time. Now that he is back together again, he is afraid that he will have some compassion for those who are also fallen from the end of the world, so he took the initiative to cooperate.
But in the bones of the two of them, it is the disgust that they have already figured out each other.
If two people who know each other hate each other, it is a terrible thing, because they know each other's weaknesses and moves too well, so every time they make a move, they are ruthless. in the place where it hurts the most.
Sprinkling salt on wounds and scolding one's heart with words, this is what a couple who spend most of their lives are good at.
Li Rong slowly returned to her palace, and rested thinking about the day's affairs.
Although her princess mansion has been built for many years, she has actually lived in the palace all the time. Only the two thousand guards and servants from the princess mansion, Zhan Shi and Li Ming, are placed there, which can be regarded as her property. Pei Wenxuan took her token, called up the staff, and stayed outside the Yang family's door at night.
To Pei Wenxuan's surprise, almost all the Yang family evacuated at night, leaving the old lady and some female family guards at home to cover their eyes and ears. It was caught all night.
Li Rong slept well all night, and when it was morning, she got up to wash up and went to the gate of the main hall early. It was not morning yet, and all the civil and military officials were standing outside, talking in twos and threes. When Li Rong came, everyone was a little strange. There were quite a few Princess Daxia participating in politics, but unless she was called, she would not go directly to the court. So when Li Rong came here, everyone began to speculate about what Li Rong was here for.
It wasn't surprising that the several important officials who heard Li Ming's anger yesterday, the old monk sat on the spot and didn't even look at Li Rong.
Li Rong scanned the crowd, but did not see the person she was looking for. After waiting for a while, Pei Wenxuan came in yawning.
According to his grade, a small official like him can't even enter the main hall. Seeing him yawning and walking in, Li Rong didn't care about the eyes of the people around her, she walked directly to her and stood still, with her hands in her sleeves. , said vaguely: "It's done."
"Did you sleep last night?"
Li Rong looked him up and down, and saw the dark color around his eyes, as if someone had beaten him before, and couldn't help but say, "Didn't you fall asleep again?"
"Thanks to the princess," Pei Wenxuan woke up, looked refreshed, and said clearly, "It's a sleepless night again."
He hadn't slept for long the night before, and he was tense for another day yesterday. Thinking of this cruel fact, Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but said, "If this goes on like this, the princess doesn't have to take action, and Wei Chen won't be able to hold on for long."
Li Rong covered her face with a small fan and let out a low laugh, Pei Wenxuan was used to her being happy when she saw her unhappy, and only whispered: "The ants moved last night, all those sons and brothers are together, the family should be It's neat, let's put it together today?"
"As you like." Li Rong said softly, "Let's talk about it later."
The two were talking when they saw Su Minzhi leading Su Rongqing in. The Su family had a good reputation in the court, and they were the focus of everyone as soon as they came in. Su Rongqing followed his father and the people around him to say hello, and then stood there. in the front position.
As soon as Su Rongqing came in, everyone couldn't help but look over, Li Rong was naturally vulgar, Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong watching Su Rongqing walking all the way, he approached Li Rong without a trace, and whispered: "I may remind you, Don't say anything when you meet people, but his position is still unclear."
Just as he was talking, Su Rongqing looked over. When he saw Li Rong from a distance, he was stunned for a while, then laughed and saluted Li Rong.
Li Rong nodded in return, and Pei Wenxuan gave a soft "ha" from the side. Li Rong ignored him, afraid of another quarrel, so the two stood side by side on the edge of the square, and then heard the eunuch Xuan Chao's voice, and these ministers stood Formed into two columns, slowly walked in while singing and drinking.
Neither Li Rong nor Pei Wenxuan had official positions to enter the court, so they stood at the door and waited for Li Mingxuan's summons.
Pei Wenxuan was a little sleepy, so he closed his eyes and left a sentence: "I'll sleep for a while, call me if something happens."
After speaking, regardless of whether Li Rong agreed or not, she leaned against the wall and went to sleep with her eyes closed.
There was no one outside the hall, it was empty, but the hall was lively and lively, and the courtiers were chattering, which was an excellent lullaby for Pei Wenxuan.
He was originally standing against the wall, but when he fell asleep, he couldn't help but fall over towards Li Rong involuntarily.
Li Rong was still thinking about something when she felt that Pei Wenxuan was getting closer, and then seemed to notice the weightlessness, and suddenly woke up and straightened up.
Seeing that he was so sleepy, Li Rong was quite disgusted, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it so sleepy?"
"Try." Pei Wenxuan didn't sleep well and was in a grumpy mood. Li Rong laughed, "Pei Wenxuan, you are so squeamish."
"Who am I doing this for?"
Pei Wenxuan immediately replied, and after replying, he froze, seemed to feel a little embarrassed, turned his head and said, "You slept well, too lazy to care about you."
Li Rong didn't speak, but Pei Wenxuan closed his eyes again. After a while, he suddenly heard Li Rong say, "You lean on me."
Pei Wenxuan ignored her, and then felt Li Rong leaning over, they were shoulder to shoulder, Li Rong's always cold voice seemed to be warm, and said calmly: "I stand firm, you lean on me, no down."
Pei Wenxuan pretended not to hear, they leaned side by side, he squinted and said, the morning light sprinkled the white jade steps little by little, slowly ascended, and then fell on the two of them.
The morning light was warm, but it was not as hot as Li Rong's shoulders. Pei Wenxuan seemed to be extremely troubled. He also felt that there was some rare peace just standing there.
He felt that he seemed to be asleep, but he didn't seem to. He could vaguely hear human voices and bird sounds, but he felt as if he was in a dream.
Li Rong folded her arms around her chest and listened to the words of the minister in the court.
Li Ming talked about the fact that the Yang family was lost in three cities at the border. The court and the opposition were shocked. Li Ming asked for the Yang family to be put on file. Naturally, everyone had to quarrel.
Most of the officials did not speak, and some officials thought that Li Ming's request was unreasonable.
When Li Ming heard these officials defend the Yang family, he sneered: "What if the Yang family is accused of deceiving the king, kidnapping the princess, assassinating the court officials, or illicitly colluding with the enemy country? In this way, can we still be tried?!"
No one dared to speak. After a long time, a minister hesitated and said, "I don't know where Your Majesty heard these rumors?"
"Xuan!" Li Ming raised his hand, and then heard the eunuch's sharp voice, "Princess Xuan Pingle and Pei Wenxuan enter the hall—"
Hearing their names being called, Li Rong turned her head and saw the young man in the morning light slowly open his eyes.
His facial features are three-dimensional, and when viewed from the side, it seems like mountains are rising. His eyelashes are very long, and when he opens his eyes in the morning light, he looks like a butterfly flapping its wings and leaping lightly in the light.
"Let's go."
Li Rong smiled lightly, stood up straight, and walked towards the main hall. Seeing Li Rong's thin back, Pei Wenxuan felt a little dizzy for a while, and a vague sense of trance. After a while, he regained his senses. Come on, I couldn't help but smile, closed my eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them again, then straightened his expression, walked in, followed Li Rong to kneel on the ground back and forth, and shouted loudly: "Er Chen (Wei Chen) I have seen your majesty, long live your majesty!"
"Get up," Li Ming raised his hand and said, "Pei Wenxuan, read the book to them."
In order to establish Yang's case, it is natural to have someone to do the knife. Others dare not write this document, but Pei Wenxuan wrote it already last night.
With a pungent pen, without the slightest concealment, all the way, he impassively denounced the Yang family for bullying the king, being arrogant and unreasonable, and fornicating with the enemy's country without the king's law. After some scolding, the audience was silent. After a while, the censor station responded. Argue with Pei Wenxuan.
Seeing that Pei Wenxuan was arguing with these censors, Li Rong consciously took a step back towards Pei Wenxuan, watching Pei Wenxuan fight against the crowd.
Pei Wenxuan's life is tough, and his mouth is even tougher. In the past, Pei Wenxuan hated her. No matter the court, he could vomit a mouthful of blood for him. Now, seeing Pei Wenxuan hating the person opposite, Li Rong actually has it. An inexplicable feeling.
The entire censor station took turns to go into battle, and Pei Wenxuan fought against the heroes alone. Li Ming wanted to take care of them at first, but seeing that Pei Wenxuan was really powerful, he finally fell silent, drinking tea and listening to the mockery of these people.
Li Rong stepped aside and let people prepare tea. After Pei Wenxuan finished scolding these people in one breath, he said coldly, "Do you have any objections?" After that, after no one in the audience made a sound, Li Rong was silent. He took the tea silently and went over. Pei Wenxuan habitually took the tea and drank it. After drinking it, he felt that something was wrong. When he turned around, he saw Li Rong's smiling eyes, as if saying to him, "Continue."
Pei Wenxuan didn't know why, but when he saw Li Rong like this, he suddenly felt a little ashamed. He pretended to be calm and turned his head to look at the ministers who were arguing with him.
Most of the debates in the courtroom are to say a big truth, to put on a big hat, and no matter whether it works or not, as long as you can stand on an "absolutely correct" truth, no one can say anything about you.
Pei Wenxuan was familiar with court routines, and when he was young and prosperous, he argued with these people all morning, all his sleepiness disappeared, and he became very excited.
The courtiers on the opposite side either couldn't say anything, or couldn't say anything, and in the end they were defeated. Li Ming saw that he was almost done, and said, "Okay, since everything has been discussed, let's settle it like this."
Speaking, Li Ming pointed to three people: "Pingle, Pei Wenxuan, Su Rongqing."
The three people who were ordered stood up, and Li Ming said calmly: "It's about the Yang family, so Pingle will preside over the case. The case has been implicated, and Su Rongqing, the minister of punishment department, was ordered to supervise, so what do you Aiqing think?"
No one spoke.
No noise.
Li Ming nodded with satisfaction, and said to the people next to him: "Let's make a decree. Yang's family Yang Quan intends to murder the princess and assassinate the minister. The Yang family can be exempted from the death penalty, and the life crime cannot be escaped. The Yang family's meritorious deeds will not be handed over to the prison. After the evidence is searched, he will be temporarily placed under house arrest. in the mansion."
With that said, Li Ming raised his head and said indifferently: "Pingle, I will give you another five hundred people, will it be enough?"
"Thank you, Royal Father." Li Rong replied happily, "My son will definitely do it properly for you."
None of the courtiers said a word, Li Ming seemed tired, nodded and waved his hand, and said, "Let's go to court."
Everyone bowed and saluted and sent Li Ming respectfully. After Li Ming left, Li Rong stood up, glanced at Pei Wenxuan and Su Rongqing next to him, and said with a smile, "Now this palace intends to search the Yang residence, what do you two plan to do? ?"
"Wei Chen will listen to His Highness's arrangement." Pei Wenxuan said respectfully, and Su Rongqing smiled lightly, "My minister too."
Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan, and then at Su Rongqing. It was the first time in so many years that the two of them stood together with a smile on their faces and stood together so harmoniously. For some unknown reason, Li Rong suddenly felt a little strangely guilty in her heart. She coughed lightly and stepped forward: "It's not too late, let's go."
Li Rong hurried away from them. Su Rongqing and Pei Wenxuan followed behind Li Rong. Li Rong couldn't tell what the reason was, her heart was beating fast.
The three walked out of the palace together and got into the carriage. Li Rong led Jinglan Jingmei to the carriage in front, and said to Pei Wenxuan and Su Rongqing, "This palace goes first, the two of you later."
After saying that, Li Rong got into the carriage and ordered the mansion soldiers to go to the door of Yang's family.
"Princess what happened?"
Seeing Li Rong's appearance, Jingmei made tea for Li Rong and couldn't help laughing: "How come you look like this?"
Li Rong shook her head and served tea from the side. After a while, she often exhaled and said, "I suddenly admire those men with three wives and four concubines."
"Why did the princess say that?" Jingmei was puzzled, and Li Rong sighed in a tone of life after a catastrophe, "My heart is beating too fast, I can't stand it."
There was a time in her previous life, but it wasn't that she never thought about raising a lot of faces by herself, preferably Pei Wenxuan and Su Rongqing's looks, and hugging each other every day might also be a kind of happiness.
Today, she suddenly realized that sometimes, when there are too many people around, it may not be happiness.
At least at this moment, she only felt scared, flustered, guilty, and had no joy at all.
Li Rong's mood was ups and downs, but Pei Wenxuan and Su Rongqing were unusually calm.
"I'm afraid the marriage between the son and the princess is already set."
Su Rongqing twisted the chess pieces, her voice flat: "I heard that there was a lot of commotion in the palace last night."
"Master Su is very concerned about the princess' marriage."
"Who doesn't care about this Huajing?" Su Rongqing smiled, "Now Master Pei is a hotly debated figure in Beijing."
"What are you talking about, whether I will be a princess?" Pei Wenxuan said, the chess piece fell on the chessboard, and looked up at Su Rongqing, "Then I will tell Su Gongzi bluntly."
"His Royal Highness, I'm married."
Su Rongqing laughed, and tapped the fan in her hand: "It's true. But Su is a little curious," Su Rongqing said while making a move, "How does Mrs. Pei think of the princess?"
"Very good." Pei Wenxuan said indifferently, "Be able to speak well."
As Pei Wenxuan spoke, another word came to mind - sharp teeth and sharp mouth.
"Understandable."
He can always step on the place where he is most troubled.
"She's a wonderful girl."
After praising Li Rong, Pei Wenxuan suddenly felt that he didn't want to talk anymore. He felt that it was almost exhausting to say these words.
Su Rongqing listened to Pei Wenxuan's words, nodded her head, and said gently: "But before I heard about Mr. Pei, there was a baby kiss. Mr. Pei treated that girl..."
When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he raised his eyes coldly and looked at Su Rongqing in front of him. Su Rongqing got this look and knew Pei Wenxuan's warning. He nodded and said, "Understood, some people are just bright moons, and they can't be reached."
"Master Su, don't mention your Highness," Pei Wenxuan said indifferently, "Otherwise I won't know who is Master Su's Mingyue."
"Just kidding." Su Rongqing shook his fan, "Let's continue playing chess."
The two of them were playing chess, but the chess path was messy. Pei Wenxuan lost interest and said directly: "Young Master Su, you are very sleepy. Sleep for a while, and then you will not be with me."
Su Rongqing smiled and said gently, "Please."
Pei Wenxuan responded, leaned on the side, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Before he went to sleep, he didn't know what to do, but he remembered that Li Rong came in the early morning. She stood beside him, and he could lean on him. How can you stand so steady.
Pei Wenxuan was thinking wildly, but he didn't even notice it, and smiled lightly.
When Pei Wenxuan woke up, he arrived at Yang's house. Li Rong had already sent people to surround Yang's house in advance. When he got off the carriage, he saw Yang's house soldiers and guards confronting each other.
The gate of Yang's house was closed, and neither of the soldiers on both sides dared to move. Li Rong walked to the side of the guards, and her bodyguard, Changjiang Ping, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Princess."
"Where's the Yang family?"
"It's all inside, and refuses to come out. In the future, the princess will not dare to do anything."
Li Rong nodded, she looked at Yang's gate, held the fan around her chest, and the fan tapped her arm lightly, but she didn't speak. Su Rongqing and Pei Wenxuan came over, and Su Rongqing asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why did the Yang family lock the door?"
"Well," Li Rong thought for a while, "don't dare."
As she said that, Li Rong turned her head and waved to Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Highness."
"You said, I want to reason with this Yang family, can you talk about winning?"
"You can't win." Pei Wenxuan resolutely said, "The court has honor and inferiority, and His Highness can win. But now in front of Yang's gate, the listeners are all the common people, and Yang's reputation is very high among the common people. If there is no sufficient evidence, I'll wait to forcibly search the mansion, for fear of being infamous."
"Well." Pei Wenxuan said that he couldn't win, so Li Rong stopped struggling.
She thought for a while, and then said to Jiang Ping next to her: "Jiang Ping, guard the Yang family. If they don't come out, don't come out."
Jiang Ping replied yes, Li Rong looked around a little, looked at the surrounding situation, and then said to Su Rongqing: "Master Su, in such a situation, it is not appropriate to search the government, I want to go to the Ministry of War to adjust some accounts, but I don't know Master Su. Maybe help?"
"Listen to His Highness's orders." Su Rongqing said respectfully, Li Rong nodded, and then said, "Then please, Sir Su, go to the Ministry of War to coordinate first. If the Ministry of War is willing to check the accounts, this palace will come over."
Su Rongqing should be, Li Rong turned to look at Pei Wenxuan: "Mr. Pei."
"The minister is here."
"Master Pei didn't bring a carriage, Ben Gong will give you a ride."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Pei Wen announced the salute and thanked him, and then listened to Li Rong's arrangement and boarded Li Rong's carriage. Li Rong asked Jiang Ping to be kind to the Yang clan before rolling the curtain and entering the carriage.
The two sat on each side, and the carriage started again. Jinglan and Jingmei didn't come in. Li Rong poured tea for herself, and Pei Wenxuan asked directly, "Where are you going?"
"Why don't you think I'll take you home?"
Li Rong raised her eyebrows, and Pei Wenxuan shook her head: "I didn't gain anything today, you can't go back like this."
"Sure enough, someone I've known for many years, really understands me." Li Rong picked up the teacup, and after blowing off the green leaves on it, she said slowly, "Do you remember Tuobayan?"
Pei Wenxuan thought about it for a while, and finally remembered: "Is that a money shop owner you caught before?"
"Yes." Li Rong nodded and said, "This man travels between the Northwest and Huajing all year round. He has industries in several countries, and he does business on the surface. In fact, he makes a living by laundering money. Huajing nobles, he has a lot to do with him. contacts."
"Including Yang's."
Pei Wenxuan definitely spoke, and Li Rong responded: "Although Yang's family died at the hands of my father, the investigation was not clear. Later, I checked Tuobayan for Chuan'er, and then I really found out the whole operation of Yang's family. The fact that Ba Yan can hover around the world without falling down is not only because he is good at business, but most importantly, he has a life-saving talisman—"
Saying that, Li Rong approached Pei Wenxuan and said softly, "Ledger."
"So you are not in a hurry to check the accounts of the Ministry of War." Pei Wenxuan understood it, and Li Rong sneered, "What's the point of checking the accounts of the Ministry of War and the Yang family? It's something that people go to check every year, can it be true? We can't get the evidence by ourselves. Those old foxes in the Ministry of War, who dare to give you the account book? We are not as good as before, and now, no one in the court wants to see us, only the two of us, reporting to the group to keep warm. "
Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong's words and analyzed: "We got the money laundering ledger from Tuobayan, which corresponds to the ledger of the Northwest Army and Yang's ledger. After comparing, we can almost figure out the ledger. Flowing in and out, the Yang family's crime of filling their own pockets is almost settled."
Li Rong responded and continued: "Now that we have trapped Yang's people, they will go to the border to ask for help. General Yang received an urgent report from home, and I am afraid that he will do something to put pressure on His Majesty. The officials will lose the city, I am afraid that the civil and military of the whole dynasty will use us to appease the Yang family and ask the Yang family to fight well."
"The prince will take over the matter when it falls." Pei Wenxuan said calmly, everything seemed to be in his plans, "Let's invite Qin Lin and Cui Qinghe out of the mountain, and follow the prince to the front line, the front line only needs to endure for another half a month. , the Rong country's weapons are almost exhausted, and it's time for the prince to make a contribution."
Qin Lin and Cui Qinghe were the most powerful generals under Li Chuan in the previous life.
If they can be invited out of the mountains in advance, with the ability of these two people, with the information provided by Shangguan and Li Chuan, as well as Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan, it should be no problem to take down Yang's remaining party in the northwest.
Li Rong nodded and replied, "Chuan'er stabilizes the Yang family, and can give us the accounts of the northwest side. As long as the accounts are checked, the Yang family will be completely gone. Now our first step is to get the account. This money laundering account, with this account, when the Yang family puts pressure on us, we have reason to continue to hold them."
"Okay," Pei Wenxuan nodded, then looked at the people coming and going outside the window, and said with some doubts, "Then who are we now?"
"Tuobayan's other courtyard, on the tenth day of every month, will hold a private party to invite wealthy businessmen from all over the world."
Saying that, Li Rong reminded Pei Wenxuan, "Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month."
"you want to go?"
Pei Wenxuan said in surprise, Li Rong nodded: "I know where his accounts are kept, I have to fetch them."
"Such a thing," Pei Wenxuan frowned: "Leave it to the dark guard to do it, you are a golden branch and a jade leaf, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
"I don't know how precious I am?"
Li Rong gave Pei Wenxuan a white look, and then said: "His room is set up with a mechanism. To open the door, you must turn the correct button, and its button is Persian. Someone who speaks Persian?"
Pei Wenxuan choked, and then he could only helplessly say: "Okay..."
"Why," Li Rong laughed and opened a fan to cover half of her face, "I'm going, you're not worried about me, are you?"
"I'm worried about myself." Pei Wenxuan glanced at her and said quickly, "If something happens to you, how can I survive?"
"You have a good idea," Li Rong nodded, pointing at his chest with a fan, and joked, "From now on, Master Pei can remember, I will be happy in the future, but it will be your life."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan's heart beat faster.
He stepped back without a trace, and said impatiently, "stay away from me, don't do this to me."
Li Rong knew that he used to dislike her teasing, so she laughed even more happily. Seeing her arrogance, Pei Wenxuan ignored her and said, "He is a private banquet, how do we get in?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll let someone get the post. We'll change our clothes later, and we'll go in under disguise."
"Yeah." Pei Wenxuan nodded, thinking that Li Rong was used to doing things properly, and he was not worried, so he relaxed a little and said to Li Rong, "Then I will sleep for a while, and you will call me when you arrive."
"Okay." Li Rong took a book from the side, leaned against the side, and said slowly, "I'll read the book, you sleep with you."
Pei Wenxuan responded and found a place to lie down.
Li Rong's carriage was already very comfortable, but it was still a little bumpy. Pei Wenxuan closed his eyes and smelled the dark fragrance from Li Rong not far away. eyes.
Looking through the small table, Li Rong's red and white blouse embroidered with peony can be seen. The robe has wide sleeves and a waist, revealing Li Rong's slender waist. A charming charm.
Pei Wenxuan felt that something was wrong and didn't dare to look at it. He was busy and went up to see Li Rong's hands. They looked like white jade, without the slightest blemish. The nails were stained with Dan Kou. in people's hearts.
Pei Wenxuan frowned. He thought that he probably hadn't looked at Li Rong well for many years, and then he remembered that Li Rong was born to be a fairy-like girl.
Unlike other girls in Huajing who are thin and elegant, Li Rong's beauty has always been flamboyant and charming. Other beautiful women, when you look at them, you will feel like pictures, and you want to frame them, hang them on the wall, and watch them every day.
But Li Rong went to the extreme. For ordinary men, they didn't dare to look directly at her, and they didn't even have the courage to look at her. For Pei Wenxuan who dared to look up at her, as long as they looked up at this person, they would be able to It is easy to draw out the unspeakable darkness in my heart.
No one would think of looking at her from a distance as a painting, but would only want to get closer, to possess, to hold this person in her arms, and to make herself the only one she could see in her eyes.
Such contradictory charm makes this person dazzling and lonely, few people dare to approach her, look directly at her, let alone accompany her.
Pei Wenxuan looked at her, her thoughts were a little far away for a while, Li Rong noticed that Pei Wenxuan was not sleeping, she turned a page of the book, and said lightly: "Can't sleep?"
"Um."
After being discovered, Pei Wenxuan didn't feel shy, and said generously: "I don't know why, I'm sleepy and can't sleep."
"Shall I chat with you?"
Li Rong put down the book and looked at Pei Wenxuan.
Pei Wenxuan turned over, looked at her, and asked cautiously, "Do you want to beg me for something?"
"Indeed," Li Rong brushed off her sleeves, tidied up her clothes, leaned against the small table, and looked at Pei Wenxuan with a smile, "I just want to know, why did Lord Pei have to kill Yang Quan?"
"Um?"
"I just thought about it," Li Rong said seriously, "Actually, Master Pei doesn't have to kill Yang Quan to marry me. If it's just to marry me, Master Pei still has many ways. Kill Yang Quan now. , either you die, or the Yang family perishes, what are you asking for, Master Pei doing this?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong waited quietly, Pei Wenxuan said slowly, "Don't you want military power?"
Li Rong raised her brows, and Pei Wenxuan looked up at her: "If you want it, I'll give it to you, so what?"
Li Rong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she hesitated: "I think the friendship between me and Lord Pei doesn't seem to be able to afford such a heavy gift."
"This has nothing to do with our friendship," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "I just don't want to give up my last life again."
Having said that, Pei Wenxuan looked out the window and said slowly: "I don't want the Yang family to stay and toss, let the emperor and the Yang family fight, and finally the Rong Kingdom gains and cedes the five cities until I become the prime minister to clean up this mess. "
"I don't want the prince to be deposed by His Majesty again because he has no military power. You and I will meet in prison to hear you say goodbye to me. If necessary, I can behead your head with my own hands."
"Since life has restarted, I think," Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong with a serious look, "I can live a better life."
Li Rong didn't speak, she opened and closed the small fan in her hands, and after a long time, she smiled softly, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and said softly: "
After all, Pei Xiang is still paving the way for himself, just now he said it was for me, Ben Gong listen," Li Rong looked up at him, her phoenix eyes charming and charming, "I'm almost moved. "
"Oh?" Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes, as if he was very honored, "So this can make His Highness's heart move? Then His Highness is heartbroken."
Having said that, Pei Wenxuan didn't care about joking and said: "If Your Highness is interested in Wei Chen, Wei Chen can at least guarantee that he will never kill His Highness."
Hearing this, Li Rong laughed sarcastically: "I'm afraid that if I want to kill you, you still have to ask me to be buried with you."
Just like in the last life, as soon as he thought that she killed him, he immediately sent someone to deliver medicine to her. It's a pity that she was one step ahead, so she couldn't drink the poison he gave herself.
"Li Rong, I told you, I can make a bet with you," Pei Wenxuan reclined on the couch, propped his head with one hand and bent his legs with the other, looking at Li Rong seriously, "If you can be sincere to me, A life can be given to you."
"But, Your Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan leaned over and leaned in front of Li Rong. The two were so close to each other that Li Rong could even feel their breaths intertwined. , he looked at her and said softly, "for so many years, have you ever been sincere to anyone?"
The author has something to say: Li Rong: "Take your life."
