Pei Wenxuan recognized that it was Li Kui, the superintendent, and he stared at the man for a moment, but didn't say anything. Li Rong heard the noise outside and raised the curtain of the car with a gold fan. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Master Li?"
Li Kui didn't expect Li Rong to know him, so he was a little surprised, and hurriedly saluted, "I have seen Your Highness, Your Highness Chitose."
"I don't know what Master Li is doing here?" Li Rong looked at Li Kui with a soft voice. Pei Wenxuan turned to the side and helped Li Rong roll up the car curtain.
"Report to the princess."
Seeing Li Rong's questioning, Li Kui respectfully said, "Today, a merchant went to Shuntian Prefecture to report to the official, claiming that Master Pei killed his master, and he was ordered to come here to ask Master Pei to be imprisoned to assist in the investigation."
"Your Majesty knows about this?"
"I know that Mr. Pei now has a holy order to investigate Yang's case, so this order was submitted to the Ministry of Punishment by Shuntian Prefecture. The Ministry of Punishment deliberately submitted it to His Majesty in the afternoon, and only dared to come after His Majesty's will."
Hearing this, Li Rong couldn't help but laugh.
"If you report the case in the morning, you can pass the two divisions along the way and directly bring it to His Majesty," Li Rong said, turning to look at Pei Wenxuan and smiling, "Lord Pei is also an important person."
Hearing Li Rong joking, Pei Wenxuan turned his head and said with a smile: "It seems that I need to go with Lord Lili. Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan bowed, "For the follow-up, I can only rely on Your Highness. "
Li Rong nodded, and then she remembered: "Master Li, who is the merchant who came here?"
"Your Highness," Li Kui said with a stern look, "the deceased was a foreign businessman named Tuoba Yan."
Li Rong nodded, as expected.
Pei Wenxuan glanced at Li Rong, and after Li Rong gave him a reassuring look, she said to Li Kui, "In that case, Master Pei, let's go with Master Li. But Master Li," Li Rong looked at Li Kui, her eyes With a bit of meaningful scrutiny, "Bengong heard that the prisons of the Ministry of Punishment are harsh, and there will be no such thing as subversion, right?"
"No," Li Kui hurriedly said after hearing this, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the humble position is only to act according to orders, Master Pei is a gentleman, and the humble position trusts Master Pei, and now it's just a process, Master Pei will have nothing to do. of."
Li Rong understood Li Kui's assurance and knew that Pei Wenxuan would not have much problems in prison, but she thought about it, but she was still not at ease, she waved to Li Kui, Li Kui rushed forward, Li Rong lowered her head After speaking, she stared at Li Kui and said, "Pei Wenxuan is a member of Ben Gong now, and he may continue to be a member of Ben Gong in the future." Li Rong gritted and continued, staring at Li Kui, "Bengong I will go to the prison every day to see Pei Wenxuan, Master Li, do you understand what Ben Gong means?"
"clear."
Li Kui hurriedly said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Ministry of Punishment has a cell suitable for Lord Pei."
Li Rong got this, nodded, glanced at Pei Wenxuan, and said, "I'll find you if I have something, go."
Pei Wenxuan smiled calmly and said to Li Kui, "Master Li, please."
Pei Wenxuan left with Li Kui, and Jinglan got up from the carriage and said with concern: "Your Highness, if Tuobayan dies..."
"It won't be that simple."
Li Rong tapped on the small table and said slowly, "Concubine Ning must have done this. She has lived in the deep palace for a long time and doesn't know how these people save their lives."
Li Rong said indifferently: "He is a foreigner who dares to do such a thing with the tip of a knife licking blood, and he has the ability to do such a thing. Now he is either running away for nothing, or he must still keep his back, etc. To bring down the Yang family."
Saying that, Li Rong turned her fan and couldn't help laughing: "Concubine Ning thought that killing Tuobayan would be enough? She has to know that killing a donkey is a big taboo in this industry. Ba Yan doesn't fight back, these people who help deal with dirty silver will definitely help fight back, otherwise their circle will become dough in the hands of nobles, and they are still sparring with them?"
Merchants have no power, if they are not ruthless people who can bite flesh and blood, how can they stand in Huajing
So from the very beginning, Li Rong never thought of protecting Tuoba Yan. After all, no matter whether Tuoba Yan died or not, as long as the Yang family did something to him, he would definitely tear blood out of the Yang family.
Now that the accounts are obtained, I am just waiting for an opportunity to let Li Chuan and Qin Lin go to the front line. At this time, Pei Wenxuan is in prison...
It's not necessarily a bad thing either.
Pei Wenxuan was active outside too much, and the Yang family was vigilant, fearing that there would be more actions. Now that Pei Wenxuan is in prison, the Yang family is at least stable.
Li Rong thought about it in her heart, Xiao Fan tapped on the palm of her hand, closed her eyes in the carriage, and entered Miyagi all the way.
Back in the palace, Li Rong went to the table and took a note, writing: "Tomorrow morning out of the city, Jiulu Mountain will find Qin Lin, don't let anyone know."
After writing it, she handed it to Jinglan and said indifferently, "Give the note to the prince, but don't let anyone know."
Jinglan responded, and Li Rong walked into the room.
Not long after, Li Chuan was discussing matters on the Northwest Front with his staff. The attendant brought a cup of tea over. Li Chuan took the tea while talking. As soon as the tea bowl was in his hand, he realized that the touch was wrong, but his expression was not. He moved and put the note in his sleeve calmly, as if everyone was talking about the same thing. He sent everyone away, and when he returned to the house alone, he opened the note and saw Li Rong's handwriting, and under the handwriting were their sister and brother. Set of independent dark lines.
Li Chuan knew what to do, and instructed humanity: "Tomorrow, I will leave the palace and go to Huguo Temple to pray for the queen mother."
After Li Chuan gave his orders, the eunuch replied in a low voice.
At this moment, the bright moon is in the sky, and in the Mingle Palace, Concubine Rou rubbed Li Ming's shoulders and whispered: "Concubine Ning makes such a big noise, does Your Majesty not care?"
Li Ming smiled lightly: "What's the point of this? Pei Wenxuan's little brat wants to be my knife. I can't stop doing this, I'm going to die."
"His Royal Highness," Concubine Rou sighed, "It's fortunate that Pingle didn't marry Yang Quan. The Yang family is so tossed now. If the Yang family and the Shangguan family were to marry, would it be worth it?"
Li Ming didn't speak, he took the tea and blew the tea leaves on it.
"Indeed," his voice was cold, "I underestimated the Yang family."
Speaking, he lowered his voice: "I also underestimated the prince."
The people in the palace couldn't sleep all night, only Li Rong had a good night's sleep, and when she woke up in the early morning, she went directly to the punishment department to check on Pei Wenxuan's situation.
She took the token in the palace and used the money to check it up and down, and then she met Pei Wenxuan successfully. Pei Wenxuan slept in the cell all night and seemed to be in good spirits. Li Rong looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "You are here. Are you doing well in prison?"
"That's not it," Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong and smiled, "I struggled outside every day, and I couldn't sleep well. When I came in, I didn't have to do anything every day, and I slept well."
"The lord will have to stay for a while." Li Rong stepped forward and approached Pei Wenxuan, "It might be better for the lord to stay here now."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan also stepped forward, and the two were very close to each other across the wooden fence.
"Your Highness is looking for someone?"
Pei Wenxuan spoke in a low voice, Li Rong responded, and then said very quickly: "You stay here for a while, I will come in a few days."
"Are you coming too?"
Pei Wenxuan was a little strange: "What are you doing here?"
"The Yang family is going to fight back soon. When the time comes, the court will be afraid to act a little bit, otherwise it won't be able to hold back. Then I will come in too, and we will both be taken in the prison. When Chuan'er goes to the front line to stabilize the Yang family, I will Get someone to write the excerpt and let us go out."
Pei Wenxuan pondered Li Rong's words in his mind for a moment, nodded, Li Rong glanced at his room, and then said: "You live here now, find out how to live comfortably, and give an experience. ."
Pei Wenxuan: "..."
"Your Highness," he had to remind Li Rong, "I think you may have more experience than me in this matter."
"It's been too many years," Li Rong whispered, "I forgot."
As she said that, she quickly said, "I brought you some food and clothing, you can take care of it yourself, I'll go first."
Pei Wenxuan nodded, and the two stood face to face for a moment, and Li Rong couldn't help laughing.
"I didn't expect that one day I would stand at the gate of the prison and talk to you."
"It's fun." Pei Wenxuan smiled lightly, and was about to persuade Li Rong to leave when he heard a respectful call from the door: "Your Highness."
Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong looked away together, and saw Su Rongqing standing at the door, he saluted respectfully, then stood up, glanced at Pei Wenxuan first, and then his eyes fell on Li Rong.
Then he laughed and said gently: "Wei Chen heard that His Highness is here, and came here to look for His Highness."
"Oh?" Li Rong raised her eyebrows, "Is there something wrong with Master Su?"
"Previously, His Highness asked Wei Chen to transfer the accounts of the military department, and Wei Chen has already done it according to His Highness's wishes."
Li Rong was stunned when she heard this. She asked Su Rongqing to get the accounts of the Ministry of War. In fact, she just found a reason for Su Rongqing to do something. She expected that the people in the Ministry of War would not hand over the accounts so easily. manpower to act. Who would have thought that Su Rongqing would actually do it for her
But she was only a little startled, and then she came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Master Su is bothered, then we will go over."
Su Rongqing nodded with a smile and stepped back. Li Rong looked back at Pei Wenxuan and said with a smile, "Sir Pei, Ben Gong will leave first."
Pei Wenxuan saluted respectfully and watched Li Rong leave.
Li Rong led Su Rongqing out of the Punishment Department together. She got into her carriage first, then remembered that Su Rongqing was coming, and turned her head and said, "If Master Su doesn't mind, it's better to ride with Ben Gong. If you have anything to say on the carriage, Go to the Ministry of War and check the account directly."
Su Rongqing saluted respectfully, and then got into the carriage.
After getting into the carriage, he sat opposite Li Rong, keeping a few minutes away, and he looked very polite.
Such a Su Rongqing and Li Rong were both familiar and unfamiliar. In her memory, Su Rongqing and her were indeed like this before she entered the mansion.
Gentle and polite with a bit of thoughtfulness, he is indeed a gentleman who is praised by the world.
The two were silent. After a while, Su Rongqing poured tea for Li Rong and said peacefully, "Now that Mr. Pei is in prison, how does the princess plan to investigate the Yang case?"
"The normal procedure is to first check the ledger of the Ministry of War, and then negotiate with the Yang family to check the caliber of the servants in his house."
Su Rongqing listened quietly, without saying a word, Li Rong raised her eyes: "What do you think, Master Su?"
"Why did Your Highness and Lord Pei go to Tuoba Yan's mansion?"
Su Rongqing suddenly asked such a question, Li Rong chuckled lightly: "When I asked Master Su, Master Su was in Tuoba Yan's mansion and just rescued Ben Gong, how could it be so coincidental?"
"There are no coincidences in this world, only intentions," Su Rongqing said slowly, "I originally went for Tuobayan. I saw the princess and Lord Pei early at the banquet. I didn't want to meet, so I avoided it, but I was worried about the princess. There was an accident, so I prepared the dancer's clothes early and waited for the princess to come."
Li Rong never thought that Su Rongqing would answer so frankly, she knocked on the palm of her hand with a small fan, and said slowly: "Master Su is only an inspection in this case, I don't know why Master Su is so active in investigating the case, and still helping Ben Gong in this way, Ben Gong is a little uncomfortable. solved."
Su Rongqing held the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Wei Chen wants to give the princess a letter of invitation."
Su Rongqing spoke slowly, Li Rong paused, and then she saw Su Rongqing raise her eyes and stare at him quietly: "Wei Chen is willing to be driven by His Highness and assist the Prince with all his heart, I do not know His Highness," he stared at Li Rong, meaningfully, "how about?"
