Chapter 31: Closing

Views:

Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong and didn't speak for a long time, Li Rong couldn't help laughing: "You always talk a lot, why don't you comment?"

Pei Wenxuan held the wat board in both hands and hung down in front of him, lowered his head and chuckled, Li Rong raised his eyebrows: "What are you laughing at?"

"Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan looked at her with a smile, "After all these years, you are still very cute."

Li Rong was a little dazed, but at this moment, the eunuch's call came from the hall: "Xuan, Princess Pingle, Pei Wenxuan, enter the hall—"

Hearing this announcement, the two immediately straightened their expressions, and after looking at each other, they stepped into the hall one after the other.

Above the main hall, Concubine Ning and Yang Quan's father, Yang Lie, the head of the Yang family, knelt on the ground together. Li Ming sat on the high seat and watched the two walk in. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan didn't look sideways and knelt forward. Go to Concubine Ning's side and greet Li Ming.

"Pingle," Li Ming asked the two to stand up and said calmly, "I asked you to preside over the Yang family case before, how did you investigate it?"

Li Ming's question, Li Rong did not dare to answer too thoroughly, too thorough and too smart, but I was afraid that Li Ming would be suspicious. So Li Rong smiled and coughed lightly: "It is Lord Pei who is assisting Erchen in handling the case. He can speak, but I don't know much about it. Let Lord Pei speak."

"Pei Wenxuan."

"Wei Chen is here."

Pei Wenxuan stood up, and Li Ming looked at the young courtiers who came out and said slowly: "A few days ago, you were sued for the murder of Tuoba Yan, a wealthy businessman. Recently this Tuoba Yan is alive again and went to Shuntian to file a lawsuit. You said that the Yang family sent someone to hunt him down, do you know that?"

"Report to Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan said respectfully, "I also ask Chen Wei to report this matter in detail."

"Go ahead."

"Two months ago, Princess Pingle set up a spring banquet in a courtyard in the suburbs. Yang Quan wanted to marry His Royal Highness, so he sent people to ambush on the way back to the palace, hoping to save the beauty in order to deceive His Royal Highness. Wei Chen noticed on the way back to the palace. Yang Quan's intention was to save the princess, and he had a conflict with Yang Quan, and was rescued by His Royal Highness. I don't want Yang Quan to hold a grudge for Wei Chen's sabotage of his plan, so he was so daring that he set up an ambush to assassinate Wei Chen on his way back to the mansion, and Wei Chen was in a hurry and accidentally killed Second Young Master Yang."

"Your Majesty learned that Yang Quan acted so daringly, and specially assigned Princess Pingle to be the chief judge, Wei Chen to assist, Su Shilang to supervise, and jointly investigate Yang's family. Write a letter to expose what Yang has done in the Northwest, saying that for many years, Yang has been collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."

"You are talking nonsense!"

Hearing this, Yang Lie yelled at Pei Wenxuan, Pei Wenxuan's expression remained unmoved, Li Rong stood aside, smiled and shook his fan, looked at Pei Wenxuan and continued in a low voice: "According to what this person said, Rong Guo In the bitter cold, up to now most swords are still made of copper, but it is a small barbarian country. It is the Yang family who has reached an agreement with the Rong state to stabilize its position. Every autumn, the Rong state will send troops to invade. It is even more divided with the Rong country, pretending to be a war, but actually acting. Over the years, the good news, big and small, is just that the Rong country takes money and cooperates with Yang's acting..."

"Huangkou child!"

Yang Lie stood up in excitement, Li Rong saw Yang Lie's movements, and squeezed the golden fan in her hand tightly, and shouted: "Kneel down!"

She shouted loudly and forcefully, but Yang Lie was a little bit awake, he gritted his teeth and knelt down again, Pei Wenxuan gave him a light look, and continued: "This is the word of the family, but since there are such rumors, Wei Chen Naturally, I wanted to check it out. Wei Chen heard that there was a foreign businessman Tuoba Yan in Huajing, who had purchased Yang family cultural relics many times, so Wei Chen asked the princess for instructions and went to this Tuoba Yan to investigate the case together. In Yan's Mansion, Wei Chen stole the ledger of the transaction records related to Yang's in Tuoba Yan's Mansion, and found that over the years, Yang's wealth was a lot of money just from this Tuoba Yan. The antiques bought by Yang's family are far higher than the normal price, and they are obviously not ordinary transactions, so Wei Chen followed the vines and went to the Ministry of War for verification, comparing all the ledger books, and checking and interrogating the relevant personnel one by one."

"This matter may have passed into Concubine Ning's ears," Pei Wenxuan looked at Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning knelt on the ground with an unmoved expression. Pei Wenxuan turned her head and continued, "In order to eliminate the evidence, they killed Tuobayan, At the same time, when Yang Lie learned that his family members were trapped, he planned to kill the leader of the front line at that time, and then handed in his resignation and threatened His Majesty."

"Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan raised his head with a solemn expression, "now the ten-year account book of the northwest front line, the Ministry of War account book, and the account book in Tuoba Yan's hand have all been reconciled. , The accounts recorded in the front-line account books can be matched, and the testimony of Tuoba Yan and others is enough to prove that the Yang family has enriched their personal pockets at the border over the years."

"Why did they keep so much money? Now, in the report from the front line, why are there a lot of weapons of my Daxia during the Rong State's offensive? All kinds of evidence add up, and it can be seen that what the person who reported the letter said at the beginning is undoubtedly true."

"What the Yang family has done is to deceive the king and bend the law, harm the country and harm the people, disrespect the emperor, and ignore the people, and cooperate with the enemy to deceive me, Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan knelt down and kowtowed, "Such a serious crime, the Yang family can't do it. stay!"

After Pei Wenxuan finished speaking, all the civil and military people of the dynasty were shocked. Everyone stared at Yang Lie and Concubine Ning who were kneeling. After a long time, Li Ming said, "Yang Lie, do you have anything else to say?"

Yang Lie knelt on the ground, he lowered his head, thought for a long time, and smiled mockingly: "What your majesty said, it is what it is."

"Concubine Ning," Li Ming looked at Concubine Ning and said indifferently, "How about you?"

Ning Concubine listened to Li Ming's words, she raised her hands on her knees, and stood up gracefully.

"What's the point of asking this, Your Majesty?"

Concubine Ning raised her head and looked at Li Ming: "What crime did the Yang family commit? Isn't that what Your Majesty meant? Your Majesty needs the Yang Family, and the Yang Family is at the border, fighting for half their lives. Now Your Majesty feels that the Yang Family is in the way of His Majesty. If you want to help King Fusu, the Yang family will cooperate with the enemy, betray the country, bully the king and bend the law, ha..." Concubine Ning laughed, "It's funny, it's extremely funny!"

"Yang Wan!"

Li Ming shouted: "You are presumptuous!"

"Am I being presumptuous?!" Concubine Ning raised her finger to Li Ming and shouted loudly, "You Li's family forced me to this point, but you can't allow me to be presumptuous?! I'll tell you," Concubine Ning turned her head to look at the courtier, "I Yang's today is your future..."

"Someone," Li Ming ordered coldly, "drag this crazy woman out."

After saying that, the soldiers rushed up and pulled Ning Fei.

Concubine Ning was born in the door and struggled hard, but she couldn't pull it out for a while. She pushed away the soldier's pull and rushed at Li Rong: "Li Rong, you fool! He wanted to abolish Li Chuan for a long time! He suggested marriage to you. None of these men are good! He can't wait to kiss you out and let you die outside, and you still respect him and love him... You Li family can't die! You can't die!"

The soldiers pulled Ning Fei, and Ning Fei rushed towards Li Rong as if she was desperate.

Pei Wenxuan stood in front of Li Rong without a trace, Li Rong quietly looked at Concubine Ning, her expression as calm as death, Concubine Ning roared and screamed, until at the end, the moment she pulled out the golden hairpin from her head, Li Ming shouted. Voice: "Kill her!"

The sword slammed through Concubine Ning's body, and at that moment, Pei Wenxuan subconsciously raised his hand to block Li Rong's eyes.

Blood splattered on Pei Wenxuan's sleeve that was in front of Li Rong, Li Rong held the golden fan, lowered her eyes, and remained indifferent.

In her line of sight, she could see Consort Ning's blood soaking up the hall, spreading all the way to her.

Then she heard the voice of someone dragging Consort Ning out, and she suddenly said, "Hold on."

Everyone looked at her and saw that she used a golden fan to press down Pei Wenxuan's hand in front of him, looking at Concubine Ning who was being dragged out like a pig and dog, calmly said: "The noble family, don't humiliate her. , bring the stretcher white cloth, and carry it out well."

Saying that, she took off her coat, walked over to Concubine Ning, and put it on Concubine Ning.

After a while, the people outside came with a stretcher, lifted Ning Concubine onto the stretcher, covered it with a white cloth, and carried it down.

Pei Wenxuan walked behind Li Rong, looked at Yang Lie, and said, "General Yang, do you plead guilty?"

Yang Lie raised his head. He looked at Li Rong quietly with cloudy eyes. After a long time, he kowtowed and said in a low voice, "Wei Chen is guilty."

This sentence "Wei Chen is guilty" announced the complete closure of the Yang family.

Li Ming paused for a while, then said rather tiredly: "Take it with you. The next thing will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. The Yang clan will be taken into custody. Nian has contributed to the court because of his ancestors. Leave a whole corpse and give it to him."

"Wei Chen..." Yang Lie said tremblingly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Yang Lie was convicted, he was taken down. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan also retreated together. When they reached the door, Yang Lie stumbled. Pei Wenxuan stretched out his hand to support him. A young man whose entire clan was put to death.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

He said in a hoarse voice, "Young man, knives are not so easy to handle."

Pei Wenxuan looked calm, he looked up at Yang Lie: "Then General Yang, do you know what you are doing?"

Yang Lie couldn't understand, Pei Wenxuan helped him out, and said indifferently: "I have read General Yang's young poem, General Yang once wrote, 'The white horse leads the sword to the north, sweeping the Tianguan to repay the country's kindness', the general still remember?"

Yang Lie looked in a daze, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Someone still knows this."

"Young and ambitious, why not continue?"

Pei Wenxuan looked up at him, and Yang Lie shook his head: "One person can't clean the quagmire."

"Officials protect each other, and the relationship is incompatible. Young Master Pei comes from a noble family, so he should know these truths better than me. The young man's ambition is high, but in the end he will always find that what the elder says is always right."

Yang Lie smiled lightly, raised his hand and patted Pei Wenxuan's shoulder.

"Master Pei, send it here."

With that said, Yang Lie turned around, with an iron chain in his hand, he walked slowly and steadily.

"One day, Lord Pei will know what the old man means."

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he put his hands in his sleeves, stood on the long steps, quietly watched Yang Lie walk away.

Li Rong stood beside Pei Wenxuan and said softly, "A dying man, ask him what he is doing?"

"The dying person," Pei Wenxuan said peacefully, "will tell you why he died, and you will only know later how not to die because of it, and to prevent others from dying because of it."

"Didn't you understand what he said earlier?" Li Rong chuckled, "Have you lived for fifty years and lived in vain?"

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan also laughed: "To tell the truth, Her Royal Highness, I really don't understand what he said after living for fifty years."

"Lie." Li Rong said immediately, "If you don't understand this, why are you fighting with me for the crown prince? You said when you were young that you wanted the common people to live a better life, but didn't you fight with me for private rights?"

When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he was silent. He wanted to explain a little bit, but he knew that his explanation was not meant for Li Rong to know.

Li Rong could never understand his ambitions, his ambitions, his almost naive thoughts.

Because Li Rong was born at a high place, she has never been like him, walking through fields, seeing mountains and rivers, making all kinds of friends in Luzhou, and seeing the hardships of Li Min.

Maintaining orthodoxy and stability is Li Rong's belief. But he knew very well that if such belief persisted, the end of Daxia could already be expected.

But he couldn't say these words, and Li Rong couldn't understand it either.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Rong poked at his weakness, and felt that the words were too heavy. As he walked with him, he tapped the palm of his hand with a fan to save the topic and said, "But people are like this, I am young. Haven't you thought about this at some point? You're still afraid that I'll see blood today, I've seen it a lot..."

"Li Rong," Pei Wenxuan interrupted her suddenly. There was no anger in her expression. Li Rong turned to look at him, and saw him say, "Every time you see blood, your left hand will tremble."

Li Rong slowly restrained her expression, and Pei Wenxuan continued: "You always tell me that people like you and Su Rongqing have no sincerity, and you also say that you are selfish, but not everyone can stand above the court because they can't bear it in their hearts. , to put a garment on a dead man at risk."

"What they say is not necessarily true," Pei Wenxuan stopped when the two walked to the palace gate and turned to look at her, "and some words are not necessarily false, although they are jokes."

"For example?"

Li Rong asked directly, Pei Wenxuan looked at her, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "I'm going out of the palace this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other before I get married. I plan to rebuild the previous information network in a short time, and I need some money. "

Li Rong: "..."

"I really want to know," Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan with admiration, "How can you ask a woman for money so easily?"

"Because of the money you gave me today, I will be able to repay it in double the amount in the future," Pei Wenxuan smiled calmly, "Do you want to do this business?"

In his previous life, Pei Wenxuan's dark web was stronger than Li Chuan's. He had a system he set up himself to ensure its efficiency. Li Rong had to go from him for many information channels, and the dark web was accompanied by various It can be said that most of Li Rong's wealth came from the money invested in Pei Wenxuan in the early days.

This kind of business with steady profits and no losses, whoever does not do it is a fool.

Li Rong is not a fool, so she took her token and handed it to Pei Wenxuan: "If you have anything, go to the princess' mansion to find the housekeeper, but I can tell you, I don't have much money now, so just some assets, you can Don't mess around."

"It seems that Princess Shang doesn't do much good," Pei Wenxuan took the token, showing disgust, "I don't know if other princesses will be richer..."

"You give it back to me!"

Li Rong reached out and grabbed the token. Pei Wenxuan held the token and carried it behind his back. He stopped Li Rong with his other hand and said, "Pay attention to your manners, Your Highness, I know that I am beautiful, so please don't insult me."

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong was about to laugh at him, "You have no face and no skin!"

Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a complacent look in his eyes, then turned his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the palace gate: "Just send the princess here, Wei Chen retire."

"Who gave it to you! You use a copper plate from me, and you have to record it for me! I want to check the account!" Li Rong wanted to tear him apart, but everyone was on the side. She didn't want to talk too much. After going a bit, she was about to turn around to leave, when Pei Wenxuan suddenly stopped her and said, "Also,"

Li Rong turned her head and looked at the young man in front of the palace gate. He stopped, looked back at her, and suddenly smiled, "If there is another time, I will still block your eyes."

Li Rong was stunned.

"The girl's family," Pei Wenxuan's eyes carried an indescribable tenderness, like a warm summer wind, gently wrapping around people, he lowered his voice and said gently, "There is someone to protect, always It's good."

After Pei Wenxuan said this, he really didn't look back and walked out of the palace gate.

Li Rong quietly looked at his back. For a moment, she felt that even if she had known each other for more than 30 years, she didn't seem to really understand what kind of person Pei Wenxuan was.

She was in a trance for a moment, and then heard Jinglan say, "Your Highness, it seems that Your Majesty is going down."

After hearing this, Li Rong came back to her senses, sorted out her thoughts, and turned around and said, "Go find Your Majesty."

Li Rong sent someone to inform Li Ming, and then rushed over to have dinner with Li Ming.

Li Ming had just arrived at the Taihe Palace, and after changing into his regular clothes, he was washing his hands with the handkerchief when he heard that Li Rong was coming. He smiled and let Li Rong come in. After Li Rong gave him a salute, Li Ming looked at Li Rong up and down and said with a smile, "I've lost weight."

"There's no way to stay in that place," Li Rong said unhappily, "Can you not lose weight?"

"What," Li Ming threw the hot handkerchief back into the basin and reached the table, "Reproach me?"

"Not at all," Li Rong sighed, "His Yang family is too deceiving. I know that you have your troubles, royal father."

"You understand all this?" Li Ming smiled and beckoned her to sit down, "You've grown up."

"What's so hard to understand?" Li Rong sat down, "I understand as soon as Pei Wenxuan said it."

Listening to Li Rong talking about Pei Wenxuan, Li Ming couldn't help but glance at her more: "I heard that you were locked up with him?"

"Yeah," Li Rong took the chopsticks and said casually, "Otherwise I don't have anyone I know, and no one will accompany me at night, how scared."

"You have been together for a while." Li Ming took the fish that the eunuch had picked with the fishbone, and said slowly, "What do you think of others?"

"Ah?" Li Rong suddenly stiffened after hearing this, her face flashed a little unnatural, and whispered, "It's... ok."

"What else do you mean?" Li Ming saw Li Rong's appearance, and he counted, and laughed, "I gave you four candidates, Yang Quan is gone, you have to choose one?"

"Just..." Li Rong blushed, "Just... it's fine."

It was rare for Li Ming to see Li Rong twitching, so he couldn't help laughing out loud: "When did we Pingle not even speak? Is that kid from the Pei family not good? If not, Cui Yulang and Ning Shizi, you choose one. ."

"I didn't say he couldn't."

Li Rong was in a hurry and said quickly, "Young Master Pei is very good."

"It's true."

Li Ming raised his chopsticks to pick up the dishes, and said with a smile, "No one can control you for so many years. This kid from the Pei family is quite capable. What did he say to you? Why don't you cry and scold me?"

"He told me that the royal father loves me. If he can help me, he will definitely help. You must be in trouble, otherwise you would not treat me like this. Father and daughter are of the same mind, I am towards the father and the emperor, and I will always be the father. The emperor's careful liver."

"He can't say it right." Li Ming sighed, "You have grown up a lot in prison this time. Where's your mother? Has she visited you?"

Listening to Li Ming's words, Li Rong suddenly showed a look of loss: "She... should also have her difficulties."

Li Ming sneered: "She does have a problem. You are in prison, she doesn't care, she comes to fight with me every day for Chuan'er, and I haven't seen you mentioned."

Li Rong's eyes turned red when she heard this, and Li Ming stopped eating, and after a while, he slowly said: "Everything has a father and an emperor, you don't have to be sad. I didn't propose marriage to you and Pei Wenxuan in the palace today. Thinking about seeing the blood, it's not very good. I'll have someone hand over the imperial edict of marriage to the Pei Mansion in a while. If you marry and live in the Princess Mansion in the future, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the palace. "

"Can't I live in the palace in the future?"

When Li Rong heard this, she raised her head and looked at Li Ming with red eyes. Li Ming smiled helplessly: "Where is the princess who has been living in the palace? You are married, so let's have a good life with Pei Wenxuan."

Li Rong lowered her head, looking a little sad again, Li Ming paused his chopsticks, and then said: "Oh, I'm crying after a meal, don't talk about that, be happy, tell me about your marriage. , I plan to plan the wedding date on the third day of next month, what do you think?"

"Listen to your father."

Li Rong sniffed: "Isn't my marriage already in discussion, and the matter of the Yang family has been delayed for two months, and the Ministry of Rites will not care?"

"Don't wrong them." Li Ming laughed, "The Ministry of Rites not only took care of it, but also prepared two sets of wedding dresses for you, you can choose one."

"really?"

Speaking of clothes, Li Rong's eyes lit up, and Li Ming couldn't help laughing when she saw that she was like a child: "Children, how can I lie to you?"

Li Rong became happy and talked to Li Ming about the marriage process. She was really like an eighteen-year-old girl, sticking to her father and talking about trivial life. After a meal, the father and daughter were in a better mood. Li Rong sent Li Ming to the imperial court In the study, before Li Ming left, he suddenly remembered: "Why did Rong'er put clothes on people like Ning Concubine today? Are you not afraid when you see blood?"

"Why aren't you afraid?" Li Rong laughed, "Ke'erchen is a princess, so I can't let people see jokes. Concubine Ning... also got along with each other," Li Rong sighed, "It's unbearable to watch like that."

"You," Li Ming raised his finger and pointed at her, somewhat resentful of iron being incompetent. "It's too soft-hearted. Come on, let's go back, Fu Lai." After saying that, Li Ming turned to look at the eunuch next to him, "Let me The Ministry of Rites sent both sets of wedding dresses to the princess to choose. If the princess has any requirements, let the Ministry of Rites add them. Princess Pingle is getting married." Li Ming patted Fulai on the shoulder, "Don't mess around."

When Fu Lai heard this, he bent down and escorted Li Ming into the imperial study, then turned to look at Li Rong, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you see how much Your Majesty cares about you."

"That's right," Li Rong laughed and said proudly, "I am the most favored daughter of the royal father."

As she said that, Li Rong waved her hand: "Bengong will go back first, Father Fu Lai will not send it."

"Congratulations, Your Highness."

Fu Lai bowed and saluted respectfully.

After Li Rong and Li Ming talked about their marriage, they yawned and returned to the palace. At the same time, Pei Wenxuan also came to his home.

As soon as he was released from prison in the morning, he was notified of Tongye. After going to court, he avoided the carriage of the other elders of the Pei family, and waited until Tongye came to pick him up.

Tong Ye brought a worn-out carriage over and complained, "Young master, don't think the carriage is broken. We took the carriage from the same courtyard last time and didn't return it, and the old woman in charge of the carriage asked me for money every day. I haven't returned to the house for so long, and I didn't pay her the money, she said that if she didn't lose the money, she would no longer use it for our carriage, so it would be nice to be able to lend one today."

Pei Wenxuan sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He didn't bother to pay attention to these little things. Seeing that he didn't speak, Tong Ye sighed and said, "These old slaves are just bullying us. Look at those young masters in the courtyard of the second and third masters. Son, who will be troubled by a carriage? But sir, when will you pay your monthly salary? The money for this carriage must be paid back soon, or you won't be able to go to court tomorrow."

"Go and change clothes first, then you will have money."

After changing his clothes, he went to the Princess Mansion to get the money. With Li Rong's money, he bought himself a carriage. He couldn't buy expensive ones. When Li Rong found out, he was afraid that he would scold him for squandering. nice car.

Pei Wenxuan thought seriously, and Tong Ye was quite worried when he heard Pei Wenxuan's words. He always felt that Pei Wenxuan was afraid of being stimulated in prison.

Pei Wenxuan arrived at Pei Mansion, entered the door with Tong Ye, and walked around the corridor back to his yard. As soon as he arrived at the door of the courtyard, he realized that something was wrong. He vaguely saw that his yard was full of people, and he felt bad, and immediately Start to analyze who is in his courtyard at the moment.

There are only two groups of people who can lead people to wait for him in the courtyard in Pei Mansion, either his mother or his second uncle and third uncle.

And these two groups of people, no matter who they are, are afraid that they all want to stop him from marrying Li Rong. His mother didn't like the fact that he was still a princess, but she couldn't accept it. Now that the marriage decree has not been issued, it is entirely possible for his mother to come over to "save the situation".

If it is his second uncle and third uncle, then he doesn't want him to be a princess. Once he is a princess, it means that he has a backer and is out of the control of the Pei family.

He felt irritated when he thought that these people were here to disrupt his marriage.

Although he was forced to marry Li Rong, it had indeed become his goal. In order to marry Li Rong, he killed Yang Quan and brought down a Yang family, and now there is still someone to stop him

When he thought about it, he felt irritable. He threw his sleeves and rushed in. He whispered, "Why is it so difficult to marry a daughter-in-law."

Tong Ye was a little stunned, and immediately saw Pei Wenxuan grabbing the wat board in his hand, stepped into the courtyard with a cold face, glanced at the servants sitting in the courtyard waiting for him, and said coldly, "You are here. What? Who let you in?"

Pei Wenxuan is ready, whoever dares to speak out about his marriage, today he will kill chickens and show monkeys and slap these servants in the face.

Who would have thought that a fat woman at the forefront stepped forward, proclaimed a salute to Pei Wen, and said respectfully: "Eldest son, slaves and other eldest sons are almost two months away, I heard that the eldest son is coming back today and is here on purpose. Wait for your son."

"Wait for me to do?" Pei Wenxuan frowned, realizing something was wrong.

The woman smiled lightly: "You borrowed that carriage two months ago, and the account has not been settled. Originally, a carriage is nothing, but after all, it is a family business, and you still have to set rules for everything. Don't think that you are an old man. The slave is embarrassing you. Do you think you settled the account with the money, or returned the carriage?"

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

Pei Wenxuan was silent for a moment, adjusted his mood, and said calmly, "How much?"

The woman raised two fingers: "Two hundred taels."

He removes the extra allowances such as grain and silk a month, and the monthly salary he gets is only 22 taels. Very good, he is sure—

I can't afford it.

The author has something to say: Pei Wenxuan: "If I knew it was so expensive, I didn't dismantle the carriage at first, and then think of a way..."

Tong Ye: "Young Master, don't be too sad, two hundred taels will be paid off after you work for another ten years."

Pei Wenxuan: "No, I have other ways!"

(In the dark and windy night, Pei Wenxuan knocked on Li Rong's door)

Li Rong: "What are you doing here so late?"

Pei Wenxuan (grievance): "Your Highness, I don't want to work hard."

Li Rong: "..."

After a while.

Li Rong: "I don't want to work hard, what do I want to do?"

Pei Wenxuan: "I want to buy a car."

Li Rong: "What kind of car?"

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

After a while.

Pei Wenxuan: "It's still your height."

Li Rong: "It's still your show."
