When Li Rong heard Shangguanya's voice, she and Pei Wenxuan were both stunned. Pei Wenxuan glanced around and reminded Li Rong in a low voice, "This place is not far from the casino."
Li Rong nodded. This place is not far from the casino. There are restaurants and cafes next to it. Shangguanya is dressed in men's clothes.
Li Rong calmed down a little, and whispered with Pei Wenxuan: "Go find someone, and then send someone to the mansion to call... Xun Chuan. I'll wait for you at the restaurant over there with Shangguanya."
Pei Wenxuan responded and separated from the people next to him.
Shangguanya walked to Li Rong's side, looked up at the gate of the Ministry of Justice, and said with a smile, "Are you coming to the Ministry of Justice to do business?"
"Are you here for dinner?"
"That's right." Shangguanya said carelessly, "I didn't eat at noon, I was so hungry, if there is nothing wrong with Your Highness, why don't we come together?"
"Okay."
Li Rong laughed, got off the carriage, and walked with Shangguanya to the restaurant she pointed out to Pei Wenxuan. Shangguanya walked side by side with Li Rong and whispered, "The Qin family's case has been settled. Your Highness should have received the imperial decree from the Construction and Supervision Department today, right?"
"Come on," Li Rong glanced back at the Department of Punishment and said indifferently, "Little devils are difficult to deal with."
"Then what is your Highness going to do?" Shangguanya put her hands behind her back and looked in the direction Pei Wenxuan left, "You don't seem to plan to enter the palace to join them?"
"What's there to participate in?" Li Rong smiled softly, "The little devil can't settle it, and he has to go to the palace to find someone else to call the shots. I'm afraid that the emperor will have to remove me from my post."
"Then what is your Highness's plan?" Shangguanya raised her eyebrows, and Li Rong entered the restaurant with her, and said casually, "Just wait and watch the fun."
Shangguanya nodded: "Okay."
The two called for a private room on the second floor and entered the private room. Shangguanya picked up the menu, slapped the name of the dish, and turned to look at Li Rong. Li Rong sat by the window, looking at the direction of the punishment department, turning the fan in her hand.
Shangguanya poured tea for herself, and said a little strangely: "I think I saw the concubine just now, what did you ask him to do?"
"Call someone."
Li Rong listened to Shangguanya's question, she turned around, looked her up and down, and said a little strangely: "You gamble outside every day, and your family doesn't know?"
"I haven't found it yet." Shangguanya shrugged, "Maybe I found it, but it's not a big deal, forget it."
"With a daughter like you, your father will have a headache."
Li Rong laughed, Shangguanya stretched out a finger, shook her finger and said, "You are wrong, my father must be happy to have a smart and witty daughter like me."
The two were talking, and the dishes were brought up. Shangguanya ate it hard, and Li Rong saw that she was eating deliciously, so she sat on the side and added a few chopsticks.
The two chatted while eating. After eating, they didn't know what to do, so they talked about Li Rong's marriage. The two sat on the chairs by the windowsill, watching the people coming and going downstairs, Shangguan Yaduan After a cup of tea, he said casually: "Your marriage looks like a good match from the outside world, but we can see it clearly, Pei Wenxuan's identity is a little lower, I thought you should look down on him, but I didn't expect your relationship to be good. ah."
Li Rong laughed when she heard this: "He's not bad."
"Indeed," Shangguanya nodded, "it looks good and has a good temper, but Your Highness," Shangguanya put down the teacup, leaned in front of her, and whispered, "I'm very curious about something."
"Um?"
"You two," Shangguanya said in a lower voice, "Is the house consummated?"
Hearing what Li Rong said, she raised her eyes to look at Shang Guanya and raised her eyebrows: "Why do you say this?"
"His Royal Highness," Shangguanya was a little embarrassed, "Although I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs running. You and the newlywed husband and wife are inseparable every day, and your relationship is not good, but your words and deeds are not the slightest bit. Intimacy, keep a few minutes away when walking together, look at each other's eyes openly, I'll be honest," Shangguan Ya sighed, "What is the difference between the relationship between the concubine and you, and the relationship between me and you? "
Li Rong was choked by Shangguan Ya for a while.
Shangguanya observes people meticulously. She knew about it in her last life, but she didn't expect that Shangguanya not only observes things thoroughly, but she is also interested in this kind of thing.
Seeing Li Rong's expression, Shangguan Ya laughed and returned to her seat, rather happily saying: "I really expected it. Rest assured, Your Highness, I won't talk nonsense, I'm just curious, you two, in the end what are you doing? what relationship."
Li Rong wasn't worried that Shangguanya knew about this. Shangguanya was a measured person. Since Shangguanya knew and asked, Li Rong didn't hide it.
"Um?"
"Friend." Li Rong said slowly, "A good friend."
"Then," Shangguan Yasi thought, and continued, "You can't be friends for life, right?"
"Why not?" Li Rong raised her eyebrows, and Shangguanya hurriedly said, "There must be a child."
Listening to Shangguanya saying this, Li Rong couldn't help laughing: "You are young and your marriage hasn't been resolved yet, so what are you worried about?"
"My own, follow the fate." Shangguanya said, "Anyway, we have many children. To be honest, I haven't met anyone I like. I would rather stay in my own house and adopt a child from those partial rooms in the future. I'll just leave it under my name. But you're different," Shangguanya said quickly, "You and your concubine are married, and you plan to live your whole life. Where's your concubine?"
"Don't you ever think about it," Li Rong said with a smile when she saw that Shangguanya's whole thought was distorted, "My concubine and I will have our own choices one day?"
Shangguan Ya was shocked for a moment when he heard this, and then said in surprise, "Are you going to reconcile in the future?!"
"Why not?" Li Rong spread her hands and said frankly, "He is a family man, I can be alone for the rest of my life and it doesn't matter. In his heart, he needs someone to accompany him, so I won't delay him. , There are so many handsome gentlemen in this world, why do I have to find such a good friend? After all, men are easy to find... "
"Sisters are rare." Shangguanya took the next sentence and understood Li Rong's words. The two laughed in tacit understanding. Shangguanya said happily, "Does your Highness have a candidate for the next term? Given His Highness's age, it is good now. The young master is almost ready for marriage, if His Highness does not act, the range of options in the future will probably be much smaller."
"What you said, I'm also thinking about it."
Li Rong said in a slow voice, "But it's still important for court affairs now. Let's think about these things later. If there are no suitable ones, what's the harm in raising a few heads?"
Shangguanya nodded, and at this moment, there was a knock at the door, followed by a low hoarse voice: "His Royal Highness, the humble Xun Chuan, come here as ordered."
When Li Rong heard the voice, she nodded and said directly, "Come in."
When Li Rong fell, a young man with half an iron mask walked in.
He was not tall, but he was very well-proportioned and slender. As a man, his physique is a little thinner, and he stood in the room neither humble nor arrogant, and respectfully bowed to Shangguanya: "Young Master."
Shangguan Ya looked her up and down, looked at Li Rong, Li Rong introduced: "This is my subordinate, inspector Si Xun Chuan."
Shangguanya nodded and cupped her hands towards Xun Chuan: "It's the first time we met, it's from the Shangguan family."
"Sit down, wait a while, the concubine will bring people over."
Hearing this, Xun Chuan responded without being cautious, and sat down on the chair next to him.
Li Rong touched the teacup and said slowly, "Wait a while, the concubine will bring a few people over. Those people are new, I'm afraid they won't follow the arrangement too much. If they don't do it in a while, you will bring them to do it, understand?"
"clear."
The young man responded, it seemed very clear.
The 500 people from the Inspectorate were all selected by Li Rong a few days ago. They have good abilities, but those with good abilities are naturally aware of the current situation, and they are afraid that no one wants to come in.
Today, Li Rong intends to take action directly at the Punishment Department and bring these people here just to give them a wake-up call.
After the three of them waited for a while, they saw Pei Wenxuan bringing someone over.
Shangguanya said happily: "Come here! Your Highness, can I go with me in this lively event?"
"Find a mask to cover your face." Li Rong was quite disgusted, "Don't let him recognize you."
"I have experience with this." Shangguanya quickly took out half of the iron mask, which looked a bit like Xun Chuan next to her. Shangguanya said earnestly, "I always keep it ready, just in case people will recognize it."
With such thorough preparations, Li Rong was embarrassed to let her not go.
The three of them walked down together without waiting for Pei Wenxuan to come up. Pei Wenxuan dared to go to the door of the restaurant, when he saw Li Rong leading two young men with half masks down, Pei Wenxuan was stunned, looked left and right for a moment, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said with Li Rong, "Your Highness, we have arrived. ."
"Let's go when we arrive."
Li Rong walked in front and led the people to the punishment department. As soon as they arrived at the door, the gatekeeper was about to stop them. Li Rong gave him a look. , said coldly, "The Supervision Department handles the case, let me."
"You dare to block His Highness's way," Shangguan Ya said, "What a big gut, can't you see the imperial edict?!"
As soon as the two sang and reconciled, they immediately opened the way. Li Rong walked in calmly with a smile. Pei Wenxuan stood beside Li Rong and whispered, "Where did you find these two treasures?"
Li Rong smiled and glanced at Pei Wenxuan: "Is it better than you?"
Pei Wenxuan froze for a while, and the four of them went straight to the warehouse where the files were kept with a dozen young people with blank faces. When the gatekeeper saw them entering, one of them immediately said: "You are here, I will go to Master Su. "
Now the highest official sitting in the punishment department is Su Rongqing, and now they can only think of looking for Su Rongqing.
Li Rong led the people to the warehouse quickly, and when Shu Lingshi saw Li Rong, he laughed: "Your Highness, but have you found the high chief?"
"I found it, no one else is there."
Li Rong smiled and said, "But I read the imperial decree again. I looked left and right. It seemed that the imperial decree was written to let me investigate this case, and the rest of the people were waiting to cooperate fully. I thought about it for a while, and the Supervision Division seemed to be It doesn't belong to the Ministry of Punishment, I want to transfer the file, why should I follow the rules of the Ministry of Punishment? The history of the book is directly given to me, what happened, this palace is responsible for it."
"His Royal Highness," Shulingshi smiled, "You are embarrassed to be appointed to an official."
"Shu Lingshi doesn't want to give it to Ben Gong?" Li Rong smiled and glanced at Pei Wenxuan, "Go."
Pei Wenxuan heard this and went directly into the warehouse.
In the last life, Pei Wenxuan stayed in the Ministry of Punishment for a few years, and he was familiar with the place where the files were stored. As soon as Pei Wenxuan entered, Shu Lingshi was in a hurry and rushed to stop Pei Wenxuan. He pressed Shulingshi's sword on the table, and pressed the blade against Shulingshi's neck, looked up at the other guards who were about to start, and said coldly, "Who dares?"
"What are you doing?" Li Rong looked coldly at the other dozen people who were stunned and didn't dare to do anything. She patted the table with a small fan and said angrily, "You are from the Supervision Division, and now I have to order you from this palace. What should I do?!"
Hearing Li Rong's stern voice, those who followed hurriedly drew their knives and blocked the door of the warehouse.
Pei Wenxuan slowly looked for the file in the room, Shulingshi was pressed on the table by Xun Chuan, Li Rong sat next to him and waved his fan carelessly, Shulingshi breathed lowly, and persuaded: "His Royal Highness, although Wei Chen His official position is low, but he is also an official of the imperial court. Since His Royal Highness is now in charge of Qin's case, he should act according to the rules. Even if His Majesty hears about it, he will not agree."
"Shi Ling Shi is right," Li Rong nodded and said with a full smile, "Tomorrow morning, this palace is waiting for your book."
After Li Rong finished speaking, footsteps could be heard outside. After a while, Su Rongqing led people to the door. Seeing this scene, Su Rongqing frowned and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"Bengong was ordered to investigate Qin's case. This Shulingshi was embarrassed many times and had conflicts with Bengong. Shulingshi was in a hurry and wanted to beat Bengong. My guardian was impatient and made Master Su laugh."
After speaking, Li Rong raised her hand and said, "Xun Chuan, don't be rude."
Xun Chuan listened to Li Rong's words and let go of Shulingshi. As soon as Shulingshi got his freedom, he immediately rushed towards Su Rongqing and said anxiously, "Sir! They will transfer the file from here without an order. The Ministry of Punishment does things according to the internal rules, but the princess is forcibly robbing this file, and her humble position has never touched the princess a hair, but also ask the adults to decide!"
"Oh, you mean I lied."
As Li Rong spoke, she secretly cut a wound on her arm with her ring, and raised it in front of Su Rongqing, she said aggrieved: "Lord Su, look, this is what he hurt me, this palace's golden branches and jade leaves, is it still for the purpose of framing Did he hurt himself?"
Su Rongqing was stunned for a moment when she saw Li Rong's wound. Li Rong blinked: "Master Su, do you think so?"
Su Rongqing came back to her senses after being called by Li Rong like this. The book next to him made Shi's face full of shock, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, there are so many people watching here, how can you call a deer a horse? You..."
"Lord Chen," Su Rongqing finally spoke, said indifferently, "Don't talk about it, you are injured, go down first."
With that said, Su Rongqing took out a piece of white silk from her sleeve, held Li Rong's hand with one hand, and put the white silk on Li Rong's hand with the other. Your Highness, Your Highness does not have to show this wound to Wei Chen."
Li Rong didn't expect Su Rongqing to talk so well, so she couldn't help but froze in place. Pei Wenxuan found the file and turned around happily, and saw Su Rongqing bandaging Li Rong's wound, Li Rong stared at him blankly.
Pei Wenxuan's heart seemed to be stabbed sharply, and he was a little stiff for a while.
Su Rongqing wrapped Li Rong's wound and said in a low voice, "Shang Shu is usually not in the punishment department. I am in charge of the daily punishment department. If your Highness has any trouble, you can come to Wei Chen directly, and you don't need to embarrass the people below."
"Um."
Li Rong listened to Su Rongqing's gentle words, and her emotions calmed down for a while. Pei Wenxuan walked behind Li Rong with the file and whispered, "Your Highness, the file has been found."
"Since I found it," Su Rongqing said in a flat voice, "Then Wei Chen, let's take His Highness out."
"There are so many people," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "I won't let Master Su send it away. I disturb the purity of the Punishment Department. I hope Master Su will forgive me."
Su Rongqing listened to Pei Wenxuan's words and raised her eyes to look at him: "His Royal Highness is the head of the Supervision Department. It's natural to be here. I don't know what Mr. Pei's identity is, and you are so forcibly intruding into the Punishment Department today?"
"His Royal Highness is in the court for the first time, and there are many things that still need someone's guidance. I am His Highness's husband, and I am entrusted by His Highness. Helping Your Highness here, can't you?"
Su Rongqing looked at Pei Wenxuan coldly, and Pei Wenxuan quietly waited in place. After a while, Su Rongqing said lightly: "Since Mr. Pei thinks it's okay, then go to the morning tomorrow and see what Your Majesty has to say."
"Waiting for Master Su."
Pei Wenxuan bowed his hands in salute, turned his head and said to Li Rong, "His Royal Highness, let's go."
"Then..." Li Rong was about to salute Su Rongqing when she was dragged by Pei Wenxuan. Before Li Rong could respond, she was dragged out directly.
The rest of the people are a little dazed, Shangguanya's eyes are rolling around and looking around.
Xun Chuan retracted his sword and walked to Shangguanya's side, and said lightly, "Don't look at it, let's go."
With that, she led the group out. Shangguan Ya smiled and bowed to Su Rongqing, chasing after Li Rong.
Pei Wenxuan dragged Li Rong out of the door, Li Rong finally spoke, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of temper do you have, Su Rongqing said that he wanted to join you and you are so angry? Okay, don't drag me forward, people are still there. Behind."
When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he finally stopped. He didn't look very good. He turned around and said, "Are you okay?"
"What can be wrong?"
Li Rong watched Pei Wenxuan raise her hand and took a serious look. Li Rong smiled and said, "Just now I made a small scratch with my ring, it's not a big deal."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he stared at the white silk in Li Rong's hand, Shangguanya and Xun Chuan led the people out, Shangguanya smiled and said, "Your Highness, the file is in hand, it is a great success."
"Yes, where are you going now?"
"I have to go back."
Shangguanya thought for a while, and then said, "Why don't you give me a ride, Your Highness?"
"Okay."
Knowing that Shangguanya had something to say, Li Rong turned her head and said to Xun Chuan, "You lead them back to the Princess' Mansion first, and I'll be back later."
Xun Chuan raised his hand and saluted. Li Rong and Pei Wenzuan led Shangguanya into the carriage. After the three sat down, Shangguanya said, "Take me to Juxian Teahouse, and I'll go back from there in a while."
"You've done a good job in this play."
Shangguanya smiled, she was silent and did not speak.
Pei Wenxuan ignored the conversation between the two girls, pulled Li Rong's hand over, carefully untied Su Rongqing's white silk, raised his hand and threw it aside. Water and ointment to treat her wound.
Shangguanya watched the interaction between the two. After a while, she retracted her eyes and said slowly: "His Royal Highness, I will make a long story short. This may be presumptuous, but it is only a suggestion."
"you say."
"If according to what His Highness said today, in fact, His Highness is also looking for the next suitable candidate, why not look for Su Rongqing?"
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan froze, Li Rong raised her eyebrows, and listened to Shangguanya's analysis: "I see the expression of Lord Su today, and it seems that he does not have no intention of His Highness. If His Highness can win Lord Su over now, he will also act in the future. It will be much more convenient.”
"What do you mean?" Pei Wenxuan looked at Shangguanya coldly, Shangguanya seemed to smile apologetically, and said slowly: "I have offended Master Pei, I have heard from the princess today about the future plans of the two, so I have a suggestion. If Your Highness has the will, Lord Su, regardless of character, talent, family background, and status, are all suitable for His Highness. Why don't His Highness take action on this matter, and stabilize Lord Su first, since he has won Lord Su's position, let His Highness supervise the Secretary The formation was smoother, and the marriage of His Highness in the future was resolved, so that when the two divorced, the suitable young talents were already married, leaving nothing but regrets. Killing two birds with one stone, I think it is very suitable.”
"You said this, I'm also thinking about it." Li Rong said slowly, "It's just that I haven't decided what I think about Master Su..."
"I'm not sure, it's just some good feelings, and the feelings are cultivated," Shangguan Yasi said, "As long as Your Highness doesn't mind, it's better for me to arrange it.
"What are you planning?" Pei Wenxuan said directly, "His Royal Highness's marriage should not be related to these matters."
"If you simply sacrifice your feelings for the sake of power, then you shouldn't," Shangguanya said with a smile, "but if His Highness himself also intends, isn't this the icing on the cake? Master Pei, you and I are both friends of His Highness, and naturally it is for the sake of Your Highness is thinking."
"Or," Shangguanya half-smiled, "Master Pei has other ideas?"
Pei Wenxuan was speechless. He stared at Shangguanya. The carriage arrived at the door of the teahouse. The driver said respectfully from outside, "Your Highness, Juxian Teahouse has arrived."
"Yeah, it's so fast," Shangguanya stood up and cupped her hands towards the two of them, "Let's go first, if Your Highness thinks about it, say it together and make arrangements."
After speaking, Shangguanya lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
After she went out, the carriage started again. Pei Wenxuan rubbed the ointment on Li Rong, bandaged the wound, and whispered, "What do you think of her words?"
"Well," Li Rong said thoughtfully, "it's not bad, what do you think?"
"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes, "you and I got married because of power, and I reconciled with His Highness, hoping that His Highness can find someone he likes and not be contaminated with these miscellaneous things. If His Highness today is for power and Su Rongqing, What's the difference between you and me?"
"Of course it's different," Li Rong laughed. "Of course I won't be together until I'm sure I like him."
"Then why didn't your Highness wait to confirm this?"
Pei Wenxuan asked seriously, and Li Rong pondered, "How can I be sure?"
Pei Wenxuan was stunned by the question, and Li Rong said slowly, "You told me that Su Rongqing today is different from the previous life. If I don't contact him, how will I know if I like it or not?"
"Also," Li Rong laughed, "Aya's words are really good. This is the icing on the cake. Wen Xuan, I know that you are a person who values your feelings and cannot tolerate impurities, but many things are not necessarily necessary. It's divided like this. I can't have such a conflict with the Ministry of Justice every time, there must be someone who moderates in the middle."
"Then I'll help your Highness to talk." Pei Wenxuan said immediately, "If Your Highness finds it inconvenient to work in the Ministry of Punishment, there are other ways, I will help Your Highness..."
"Why can't it be Su Rongqing?" Li Rong frowned and looked at Pei Wenxuan, "You didn't tell me, should you try it with him?"
Pei Wenxuan was stopped. He looked at Li Rong with a puzzled expression. He felt a tightness in his chest, and an indescribable sourness came up in his heart. He looked at Li Rong quietly, and said nothing. Say.
Li Rong paused for a moment, then slowly said: "Wen Xuan, I know you have always been hostile to Su Rongqing, but you are not used to being emotional, can you give me a reason?"
Pei Wenxuan calmed down slowly, he looked at Li Rong's inquiring eyes, and after a long time, he lowered his eyes: "Your Highness is right, I am emotional. I had a dispute with him today, and I was angry for a while, listening to Shangguan. Ya feels uncomfortable when she says that, so don't worry about it, Your Highness."
Li Rong listened, smiled and said, "Why are you like a child? The more you live, the more you go back."
"People are becoming more and more like children." Pei Wenxuan smiled bitterly, lowered his eyes, and changed the subject, "His Royal Highness scratching himself for the sake of a book today is not appropriate, and don't do this in the future."
"Understood," Li Rong waved her hand when she saw Pei Wenxuan's mother, "it's not a big deal. The body of a thousand gold is told to others, isn't it all personal? It's just a scratch, you've already wrapped it up like that. Too much."
"His Royal Highness also cherishes the jade body."
Pei Wen's declaration was a little tired, Li Rong listened and looked back at Pei Wenxuan, she thought for a while, then leaned over, Pei Wenxuan looked up at her, and heard Li Rong a little concerned: "Pei Wenxuan, are you worried? "
"It's nothing." Pei Wenxuan smiled bitterly, "I just thought that Su Rongqing would definitely join me tomorrow."
"Don't worry about this," Li Rong raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "Tomorrow, the father and the emperor will deduct your salary in a pretentious manner. If he deducts it for you, I will make it up for you privately. If I become with Su Rongqing, I will let him supply you tenfold."
"Thank you." Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "It's all trivial matters, and Wei Chen won't take them to heart."
Seeing that Pei Wenxuan's face had not improved, Li Rong touched her nose and stopped talking.
She turned around and said, "Give me the Qin family's file."
Pei Wenxuan responded and handed the file to Li Rong, who opened the file and watched quietly in the carriage.
The dossier consists of three parts. The first part records the entire ins and outs of Qin's case. The second part describes how to investigate and handle the officials' reports and approvals. The third part records the transcripts of all witnesses and evidence records. .
Confessions and evidence were kept elsewhere, and Li Rong would not be able to get it for a while, so Li Rong carefully read the whole case.
According to the records, this case was discovered by a censor named Wen Ping from the censor station. Wen Ping received a letter saying that where the war between Rong and Daxia started, the Qin family guarded Huangping County and defended three Qian, the enemy army came to invade 3000, and then the Qin family was instructed by Yang Lie to pretend to be defeated, abandon the city and flee.
After Wen Ping received the report letter, he transferred the official record of the battle from the Ministry of War. It was indeed 3,000 defenders and 3,000 enemy troops, and they were finally defeated and abandoned the city. According to common sense, the number of sieges should be far greater than the defenders to have a chance of winning. Under the condition of equal military strength, there should be no such mistakes. So Wen Ping noticed the abnormality, wrote a book and submitted it to the Ministry of Punishment, asking the Ministry of Punishment to file the case.
Cui Shuyun, the head of the Criminal Department, accepted the case and found Luo Juan, the adjutant who had participated in the battle. Luo Juan confessed that he had abandoned the city when he could win, so Cui Shuyun requested the Qin Mansion to be seized and taken into custody based on the confession, the military log, and the accusation letter. Related personnel. On the day the Qin family was seized, a letter from Yang Lie to Qin Lang, the head of the Qin family, was found from the Qin family, saying that if the Qin family was defeated, they would give the Qin family a thousand taels of gold. A thousand taels of gold.
Then Qin Lang confessed to the matter, saying that he was bribed by Yang Lie and instructed his son Qin Feng to abandon Huangping County and pretend to be defeated.
So the case was settled.
Li Rong carefully read the transcribed letter of Yang Lie, the confession of the Qin family, and the military logbook of the Ministry of War. After reading it for a while, she laughed and said, "They have also worked hard to buy a thousand taels of gold for the Qin family. Man, the bid is too low."
Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong's mention of the business, and eased his emotions. He raised his head and took the file from Li Rong's hand. After reading it with Li Rong, he said slowly, "There are about three entry points in this case."
"First of all, we have to find out who the person who wrote the letter is, and then find Luo Juan." Li Rong said, "Luo Juan's confession is definitely false. We have to find out some of the people who participated in the war."
"Then there is Yang Lie's letter," Pei Wenxuan continued, "I need to bring it over to identify the authenticity."
"The last one is the one thousand taels of gold," Li Rong said thoughtfully. "We have to find the people who sealed up the Qin Mansion at that time. Only they will know how the thousand taels were put in."
"Tomorrow, let Xun Chuan go to Luo Juan and the veterans who participated in the war, and get their confessions about the case. Yang Lie's letter and the people who searched the Qin mansion..."
Li Rong hesitated, Pei Wenxuan had a bad instinct, and was about to speak, when Li Rong said, "If Su Rongqing could speak, it would be great."
Pei Wenxuan did not speak, he lowered his eyebrows, and after a long time, only said: "What if Su Rongqing refuses to let go?"
Su Rongqing didn't let go, they would have to go to great lengths to get the evidence of Yang Lie's letter. As for the people who searched the Qin Mansion, it would be even more difficult to know.
After all, the letter can still be obtained through layers of pressure, but the people who searched the Qin Mansion, forgot one sentence, and sent it away.
Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan's words and could only say: "If Su Rongqing refuses to let go, I'm afraid it will be prepared with both hands. On the one hand, it depends on whether there are other suitable candidates to be recruited by the Ministry of Punishment, and on the other hand, it is necessary to follow the formal procedures. If you give me evidence, you can trouble anyone until you find them."
But this actually consumes their time and is the last resort.
Pei Wenxuan responded and said, "Let's do it like this."
Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan arrived at the mansion, and after getting off the carriage, Li Rong turned her head and instructed the person next to her, "Bring a letter to Miss Shangguan, saying that she can arrange whatever she wants. The sooner the better."
The servant was stunned for a moment, and then went down.
Pei Wenxuan listened to her words and said, "Does Your Highness have any plans?"
"I have to go see the dozen or so people, how about you?"
"Wei Chen still has official business, so go back to the official office first."
Listening to Pei Wenxuan's words, Li Rong thought that he had been with her for a day and should have accumulated a lot of work, and laughed: "Today is a delay for you, I forgot that you still have your own affairs, I will be busy in the future. , lest you have to do things in the middle of the night."
"His Royal Highness's business is my business. It is I who want to accompany His Highness."
Pei Wenxuan felt even more uncomfortable when he heard that Li Rong wanted to do things by himself. He took a deep breath and saluted, "I'll go first."
After speaking, Pei Wenxuan turned around and left, and after a few steps, he heard Li Rong say from behind: "Just finish what must be done, I will ask Chuan'er to talk to your chief tomorrow, don't be stubborn. "
Hearing Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan felt both sour and a little happy. He responded in a low voice and said, "Don't be too late, go to bed early."
"I know, let's go."
Pei Wenxuan went to the official office, Li Rong entered the Princess Mansion, and saw Xun Chuan leading a group of people standing in the courtyard, Li Rong looked at them, glanced at them, and sat down with a smile, holding a teacup, and said slowly : "Your orders should have almost arrived."
Everyone dared not speak, Li Rong said slowly: "You guys are from the Han family, and you have always been in the military camp. You are obviously not small, but you can't get up. Don't you feel wronged?"
Several people looked at each other, Li Rong named their names one by one, and then said: "I remember you people, stay in the Supervision Department and work hard in the future, this palace will not treat you badly. I know that you are afraid of causing trouble, But let me put it straight, from the day you entered the Supervision Division, you are the people of the Supervision Division, and even if you don't cause trouble, trouble will come to you."
"You've done well, Ben Gong will send you the Azure Cloud Ladder." Li Rong said, her face turned cold, "If you can't do well, there is no need for Ben Gong to do it, and you will not be able to go back, you have no way out, you know? !"
When those people heard Li Rong's words, the expressions on their faces were different. Li Rong laughed angrily: "Why, I'm used to being a dog, and this palace will give you a chance to be a human being. Are you still not willing?"
"Everything is subject to His Highness's orders." A clever person finally reacted, realizing that Li Rong's words were true, and hurriedly knelt down, "In the future, low-ranking students will be the supervisors of the Superintendent, and death will be the ghost of the Superintendent. Allegiance to Your Highness will never be reckoned with. !"
"Very good." Li Rong stood up, pointed at Xun Chuan next to him and said, "He will be your officer in the future, his name is Xun Chuan. And you," Li Rong turned back and stared at the person who knelt down first, "you Tian Sheng, right? You will be your adjutant in the future, and the others will go to find out the other people on the list of inspectors tomorrow, and divide them into twelve teams. The day after tomorrow, give me a document, write down your specific arrangements, and Xun Chuan will hand it over to me."
After Li Rong gave her instructions, she was a little tired and yawned: "Okay, this palace will go to rest first, you guys should be careful on the way back."
Li Rong said that he was playing, and then waved his hand away in a compliment.
She went back to the house by herself, took out the confession in Qin's file and read it carefully. She wanted to wait for Pei Wenxuan, but she didn't expect Pei Wenxuan to come back late at night. , went to bed.
Lying down on the bed, she was a little bit more energetic, and she thought about waiting no longer. Pei Wenxuan had been with her for a hard day. She slept beautifully by herself. angry.
Thinking about it, Li Rong casually flipped through a book by the bedside and looked at it sleepily. After watching it for a while, I finally didn't stay up, and fell asleep unconsciously.
After Pei Wenxuan was busy with his own affairs, Pixing Daiyue returned to the mansion. As soon as he returned to the mansion, the servants greeted him, brought him a bowl of pear soup, and said with a smile: "Prince-in-law, now that the autumn is dry, Your Highness has prepared pear soup for you. , you drank pear soup to moisten."
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a while, this was Li Rong's habit, he responded, took the pear soup, drank half a bowl, and then went to the bathroom to wash up. After washing up, he returned to the room. When he arrived at the door, he saw that the room was brightly lit. He frowned and asked Jing Lan next to him in a low voice: "Is Your Highness not sleeping?"
"His Royal Highness said that the concubine is working hard today, and she wants to wait for the concubine to return."
"You don't stop either." Pei Wenxuan's heart twitched slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I can't let her be so willful in the future."
"Prince-in-law, go to sleep first," Jinglan persuaded with a smile, "We will persuade us in the future."
Pei Wenxuan knew that Jinglan was comforting him, and he couldn't stop Li Rong's temper, let alone Jinglan Jingmei.
He was a little helpless, pushed the door and went in, just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Rong lying on the bed, not knowing whether he was awake or asleep.
Pei Wenxuan paused, and after a while, he walked over gently and stood on the head of the bed.
Li Rong slept crookedly on the bed, obviously not sleeping normally, her sleeping posture was always the norm, it wouldn't be like this, she still had a book under her face, obviously she fell asleep looking at the book.
It was already autumn, and she still only wore a single shirt, with a few strands of hair covering her face. The black hair lined the white skin, making her black hair like silk, and her skin whiter than snow.
Pei Wenxuan quietly looked at the girl who was waiting for him to come back and fell asleep, feeling like a ship drifting in the sea, finally found the harbor and gently docked.
He was a little nostalgic for the tenderness and tranquility of this moment, so he sat beside the bed, and he stared at Li Rong quietly, without doing anything, just watching, he felt that there was so much joy and so much infatuation.
He suddenly realized that, no matter in his past life or in this life, all he was looking forward to, nostalgic, longing for, the so-called feeling of home, was actually this moment.
I came back from the official office, drank a bowl of pear soup, and then saw the proud girl, taking off her armor, and sleeping quietly beside him.
That was what Li Rong gave him, the most beautiful time in the world.
Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but stretch out his hand and put it on Li Rong's face. He stared at her. He suddenly didn't dare to think about what it would be like if he could no longer have this moment.
He felt the temperature under his hands, and couldn't help but whisper softly, "Rongrong."
Li Rong noticed that Pei Wenxuan seemed to be back, and she murmured: "Huh? Pei Wenxuan? Are you back?"
Pei Wenxuan couldn't help laughing when he heard her voice.
He got up and gently hugged the man to the inside, and said softly, "I'm back, don't wait for me in the future, eh?"
Li Rong was awakened a bit by his actions, she shook her head: "Aren't you afraid that you will be stingy and angry?"
"How can I get angry so easily?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't wrong me."
"You are very stingy." Li Rong turned her back to him, fell asleep and said, "Turn off the lights."
Pei Wenxuan got up helplessly, turned off the lights, and fell asleep on the bed.
He looked at Li Rong's back, Li Rong seemed to have fallen asleep, and as he watched so quietly, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.
Just as soon as he smiled, he felt a little startled.
He hurriedly turned his back on Li Rong, not daring to look at her.
He suddenly realized something.
What is he laughing at? What is he happy about? What is he angry about? What is he afraid of?
"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong slept for a while, as if in a dream she remembered what she was going to say to Pei Wenxuan, she turned to the side, they were close together, Li Rong turned over and rested her head on Pei Wenxuan's back. Li Rong was stunned in sleep, leaning on Pei Wenxuan and whispering, "Don't get angry when you see Su Rongqing in the future. You are persuading me to try it with him, but you are always angry at the same time. It's hard for me to do it."
Pei Wenxuan was stunned and did not speak. He felt that this person was leaning against him, and for a moment, a sentence almost blurted out.
Then don't try it.
Just when he was talking nonsense, he regretted it.
