The Grand Princess

Chapter 53: Awakening (1)

When Li Rong heard Shangguanya's voice, she and Pei Wenxuan were taken aback. Pei Wenxuan glanced around and reminded Li Rong in a low voice, "This 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. Shangguan Ya is dressed in men's clothing. It is estimated that she just came here to eat after betting.

Li Rong calmed down a bit, and whispered with Pei Wenxuan: "You go find someone, and then send someone to the mansion to...call Xun Chuan. I am waiting for you in the restaurant over there with Guan Ya."

Pei Wenxuan responded, and separated from the people next to him.

Shangguanya walked to Li Rong, looked up at the door of the Criminal Ministry, and smiled: "Come on to the Criminal Ministry to do business?"

"Are you here for dinner?"

"Yeah." Shangguan Ya said with a grin, "I didn't eat at noon, and I was so hungry. If your Highness is fine, why not be together?"

"Okay."

Li Rong laughed, got out of the carriage, and went to the restaurant she pointed to Pei Wenxuan with Shang Guanya. Shangguanya walked side by side with Li Rong and whispered: "The Qin family case has been settled. Your Highness deserves the imperial decree of the Supervision Department today, right?"

"Come on," Li Rong glanced back at the Xing Department and said lightly, "The kid is difficult to deal with."

"Then what is your Highness going to do?" Shang Guanya held her hands behind her back and looked in the direction Pei Wenxuan had left. "You don't seem to plan to enter the palace to visit them?"

"What can I do for you?" Li Rong smiled, "The little ghosts are unfair, and they have to enter the palace to find someone else to call the shots. I'm afraid that my father will have to remove my position."

"Then your Highness intends?" Shangguan Ya raised her eyebrows, and Li Rong went into the restaurant with her, and said casually, "Just wait for a while and watch the excitement."

Shangguanya nodded: "OK."

The two called a private room on the second floor, entered the private room, Shangguanya picked up the menu, crackled and reported the name of the dish, then turned to look at Li Rong. Li Rong sat by the window, looking at the direction of the Xing Department, turning the fan in her hand.

Shangguanya poured tea for herself, and said a little strangely: "I just saw the consort, what did you let him do?"

"Call someone."

Li Rong listened to Shangguanya's question. She turned her head and looked her up and down. She was a little strange and said, "You are betting outside every day, don't your family know?"

"I haven't found it yet." Shangguanya shrugged, "I might have found it, but it's not a big deal, just forget it."

"With a daughter like you, your father has a headache."

Li Rong laughed, Shangguanya stretched out a finger, shook her finger and said: "You are wrong. My father is happy to have a smart and witty daughter like me."

When the two talked, the dishes were brought up, Shangguanya buried her head and bitterly. Seeing that she was eating well, Li Rong sat aside and added a few chopsticks.

The two of them ate while chatting. After the meal, they didn’t know what was going on, so they talked about Li Rong’s marriage. They sat on the chairs next to the windowsill, watching the people coming and going downstairs, Shangguan Yaduan After taking a cup of tea, he casually said: "Your marriage is considered to be a good match, but we can see clearly. Pei Wenxuan's status is lower. I thought you should not look down on him. I didn't expect your relationship to be good. Yeah."

Li Rong laughed when he heard this, "The other person is pretty good."

"Indeed," Shangguanya nodded, "good-looking and good-tempered, but your majesty," Shangguanya put down the teacup, leaned in front of her, and whispered, "I'm very curious about something."

"Ok?"

"You two," Shangguanya's voice became quieter, "has the room been rounded up?"

When Li Rong heard the words, she raised her eyes to Shang Guanya and raised her brows: "Why are you saying this?"

"His Royal Highness," Shangguanya was a little embarrassed, "Although I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs run. You and the newly-married couple are inseparable from each other every day, and their relationship is not good, but your words and deeds are not even a little bit. Intimacy, keep a few distances when you walk together, look at each other's eyes open and open, I'll be honest," Shangguanya sighed, "You said the relationship between Ma Ma and you, and the relationship between me and you, what is the difference? "

Li Rong was choked by Shangguan Ya for a while.

Shangguanya observes people meticulously. She knew about this matter in her previous life. She didn't expect that Shangguanya not only observes thoroughly in business matters, but she is also interested in such things.

Shangguan Ya saw Li Rong’s expression, she laughed, and returned to her position. She was quite happy and said, "I really expected it. Your majesty, don’t worry, I won’t talk nonsense. I’m just curious, you two. what relationship."

Li Rong didn't worry that Shangguanya knew this. Shangguanya was well-measured. Since Shangguanya knew and asked, Li Rong didn't cover up, holding a tea bowl and smiled: "You just said that."

"Ok?"

"Friends," Li Rong said slowly, "Friends who have a good relationship."

"Then," Shangguan ya thought, continued, "you can't be friends forever, right?"

"Why can't it?" Li Rong raised her eyebrows, and Shangguanya quickly said, "There must be a child."

Li Rong listened to Shangguanya saying this and couldn't help laughing: "You are young, and your marriage has not been settled yet. What are you doing in a hurry?"

"My own, follow the fate." Shangguanya said, "Anyway, there are many children in our family. To be honest, I didn't meet anyone I like. I would rather stay in my own home and adopt a child from those side rooms. I just leave it under my name. But you are different," Shangguanya said quickly, "You and your husband are married, you plan to live your life, where's the husband?"

"Don't you think about it," Li Rong said with a smile, seeing Shangguanya's whole thoughts crooked, "My husband and I will one day have our own choices?"

Shangguan Ya got the words, was shocked for a moment, and then said in amazement: "Do you plan to get together in the future?!"

"Why not?" Li Rong spread his hands, frankly, "He is a man who is a family, but I can be alone for the rest of my life. In his heart, there must be someone with him, so I won't delay him. And what? There are so many handsome gentlemen in this world, why should I find such a good friend to start with? After all, men are easy to find..."

"Sisters are rare." Shangguanya took the next sentence, comprehending Li Rong's words, and the two laughed tacitly. Shangguanya said happily, "Is there a candidate for the next term in your Highness's heart? With your highness' age, he is good now The prince is almost at the time of marriage, if His Royal Highness does not take action, the range of options in the future will be much smaller."

"What you said, I'm also considering it."

Li Rong said slowly: "But now the affairs are still important, think about these things later. If there is no suitable one, why don't you raise a few faces?"

Shangguanya nodded, and that's when there was a knock on the door, and then a muffled voice rang: "Your Royal Highness, Humble Xun Chuan, come here."

Li Rong nodded when hearing the sound, and said directly: "Come in."

When Li Rongyin fell, a young man with a half iron mask walked in.

He was not born tall, but he was very well-proportioned, and he was slender. As a man, his physique is a little weaker, standing in the room neither humble nor overbearing, and respectfully bowed to Shangguan Ya: "My son."

Shangguanya looked her up and down and looked at Li Rong. Li Rong introduced: "This is my subordinate, supervise Si Xunchuan."

Shangguanya nodded, and arched her hand towards Xunchuan: "We met for the first time, at Xia Shangguan."

"Sit down, wait a while, and the cohort will bring people over."

When Xun Chuan heard this, he responded without being restrained, and sat down on a chair next to him.

Li Rong touched the teacup and said slowly: "Wait for a while, the horseman will bring a few people over. Those newcomers will not obey the arrangement too much. If they don't do it for a while, you will take them with you, understand?"

"understand."

The young man responded, seemingly clear.

The five hundred people in the Supervision Department were all selected by Li Rong a few days ago. They are good, but capable, and they are naturally aware of the current situation, afraid that no one wants to come in.

Today, Li Rong intends to directly work in the Criminal Ministry and bring these people over, just to remind them.

After the three people waited for a while, they saw Pei Wenxuan and brought someone over.

Shangguan Ya said happily: "Here is coming! Your Highness, can I go with this excitement?"

"Find a mask to cover your face." Li Rong was rather disgusted, "Don't let you recognize it."

"I have experience with this." Shangguanya hurriedly took out half of the iron mask, and she looked a little like Xunchuan next to her. Shangguanya said seriously, "I always have it, I'm afraid that people will recognize it."

With such thorough preparations, Li Rong was embarrassed to let her not go.

The three of them went on together before Pei Wenxuan came up. Pei Wenxuan dared to go to the entrance of the restaurant, and saw Li Rong walking down with two young men wearing half masks. Pei Wenxuan was stunned. After looking around for a moment, he suppressed the doubt in his heart and said to Li Rong: "His Royal Highness, people are here. ."

"When you get there, just leave."

Li Rong walked in front and led the people to the penalty department. As soon as he reached the door, the gatekeeper was about to stop. Li Rong gave a look. Xun Chuan raised his hand to raise the token, and lifted his sword to push the gatekeeper away. , Said coldly: "The Supervision Department handles the case, let."

"You dare to block the way of your highness," Shangguan Yayang said, "It's so bold, can't you see the imperial edict?!"

As soon as the two sang and got together, they immediately opened the way. Li Rong smiled calmly and Pei Wenxuan stood beside Li Rong and whispered: "Where did you find these two live treasures?"

Li Rong smiled and glanced at Pei Wenxuan: "Is it easier to use than you?"

Pei Wenxuan choked for a while, and the four of them led a dozen young people with blank faces to the warehouse where the files were placed. The gatekeeper saw them entering, and one of them immediately said: "You are here to guard, I will go to Master Su. "

The highest official sitting in the Criminal Ministry is Su Rongqing, and they can only think of looking for Su Rongqing now.

Li Rong led the people to the warehouse. Shu Lingshi laughed when he saw Li Rong, "His Royal Highness, but did you find Master Gao?"

"I found it, no one else is there."

Li Rong smiled and said, "But I read the imperial decree again. I looked from left to right. The imperial decree seems to be for me to investigate the case. The rest of the people waited for full cooperation. My palace thought about it. I don’t belong to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. I want to adjust the files. Why do I have to comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs? Shu Lingshi gave it to me directly. What happened?

"His Royal Highness," Shu Ling Shi said with a smile, "You are embarrassed to be in office."

"Shu Lingshi doesn't want to give it to this palace?" Li Rong laughed and glanced at Pei Wenxuan, "Go."

When Pei Wen declared this, he went straight into the warehouse.

In the previous life, Pei Wenxuan spent a few years in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the place where the files were stored was familiar. As soon as Pei Wenxuan entered, Shu Lingshi was immediately anxious, and he hurriedly stopped Pei Wenxuan. With one hand, Shu Lingshi pressed his sword on the table with a sword, leaned the blade against Shu Lingshi's neck, raised his eyes to the other guards who were ready to do it, and said coldly: "Who dares?"

"What are you doing in a daze?" Li Rong looked at the other dozen or so people who were too dare to do it. Xiao Fan slapped on the table and said angrily, "You are from the Supervisory Department. What should I do?!"

Hearing Li Rong screaming, those who followed hurriedly drew their knives and blocked the door of the warehouse.

Pei Wenxuan slowly searched for the file in the room. Shu Lingshi was pressed on the table by Xun Chuan. Li Rong sat aside and shook the fan casually. Shu Lingshi was panting and persuaded, "His Royal Highness, although Weichen The official position is low, but he is also the imperial official. Since your Royal Highness is now in charge of the Qin case, he should follow the rules. It is so arrogant, even if his Majesty hears it, he will not agree."

"Shu Lingshi is right," Li Rong nodded and said with a smile, "Tomorrow morning, this palace is waiting for you."

After Li Rong finished speaking, there was the sound of footsteps outside. After a while, Su Rongqing led the people to the door. When Su Rongqing saw this scene, she frowned and said, "His Royal Highness, what are you doing?"

"My palace was ordered to investigate the Qin's case. This book caused Shi to be embarrassed for many times and had conflicts with my palace. Under the urgency of the book, Shi tried to beat the palace. My guardian was impatient and made Master Su laugh."

As he said, Li Rong raised his hand and said, "Xun Chuan, don't be rude."

Listening to Li Rong’s words, Xun Chuan let go of Shu Ling Shi. Shu Ling Shi had just gained freedom, and immediately rushed towards Su Rongqing, anxiously said: "My lord! They will adjust the dossier from here without an order, and the humble duty is also obeyed. The Ministry of Justice does things according to internal rules, but the princess is forced to grab this dossier. The humble post has never touched the princess's hair, and the adults are still the master!"

"Oh, you mean I lied."

While speaking, Li Rong secretly made a cut on her arm with a ring on her hand, and raised it in front of Su Rongqing, feeling aggrieved: "Look, Master Su, this is what he hurt me, the golden branches and leaves of the palace, is it possible to frame him? Did he hurt himself?"

Su Rongqing saw Li Rong’s wound and was stunned for a moment. Li Rong blinked, "Master Su, don’t you think?"

When Su Rongqing was called by Li Rong, he came back to his senses. The book next to him made Shi's face full of shock and anxiously said: "His Royal Highness, so many people here are watching, how can you refer to the deer as a horse like this? You..."

"Master Chen," Su Rongqing finally said, "Stop talking, you are injured, let's go down first."

With that said, Su Rongqing took out a piece of white silk from his sleeve, supported Li Rong’s hand with one hand, and covered Li Rong’s hand with the other, gently knotting the movement. He lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I believe Your Highness, your Highness does not have to show this wound to the minister."

Li Rong didn't expect Su Rongqing to speak so well, so she couldn't help being stunned. Pei Wenxuan found the file and turned around happily, and saw that Su Rongqing was bandaging Li Rong's wound, Li Rong stared at him blankly.

Pei Wenxuan seemed to be stabbed violently in his heart, and he became a little stiff for a while.

Su Rongqing wrapped up the wound for Li Rong, and whispered: "Shangshu is not in the Criminal Department on weekdays. I am in charge of the Daily Criminal Department. If your Royal Highness has any trouble, you can come directly to the minister and don't embarrass the people below.

"Ok."

Li Rong heard Su Rongqing speaking calmly, and his emotions eased for a while. Pei Wenxuan walked behind Li Rong with the file and whispered: "Your Highness, the file is found."

"Since I found it," Su Rongqing's voice was flat, "Then the minister will send His Royal Highness out."

"There are so many people," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "Master Su will not give it away. I have disturbed the Purification of the Criminal Department. I hope Master Su will forgive me."

Su Rongqing listened to Pei Wenxuan's words and looked up at him: "His Royal Highness is the head of the Supervision Department. It should be here. I don't know what identity Mr. Pei is, so he forcibly broke into the Criminal Department today?"

"His Royal Highness entered the court for the first time, and there are many things that still need guidance. I am my Highness's husband, and he is entrusted by His Highness to help Your Highness here.

Su Rongqing looked at Pei Wenxuan coldly, and Pei Wenxuan waited quietly. After a while, Su Rongqing said calmly: "Since Master Pei feels it's okay, then tomorrow morning, I will see what your Majesty said."

"Waiting for Master Su."

Pei Wenxuan bowed his hands and said to Li Rong, "Your Highness, let's go."

"Then..." Li Rong was about to bow to Su Rongqing, and was dragged by Pei Wenxuan. Before Li Rong could respond, she was dragged out.

The rest of the people were a little at a loss, Shangguanya looked around at the surrounding with a pair of eyes.

Xun Chuan closed his sword and walked to Shangguanya's side and said indifferently: "Don't look, let's go."

With that, she led a group of people out. Shangguan Ya smiled and bowed to Su Rongqing, and ran after Li Rong.

Pei Wenxuan pulled Li Rong out. Li Rong finally spoke, laughing and crying: "What is your temper, Su Rongqing said you want to join you, are you so angry? Okay, don't pull me forward, people are still there. Behind."

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan finally stopped. His complexion was not very good. He turned around and said: "Are you okay with your hands?"

"What can you do?"

Li Rong watched Pei Wenxuan raise her hand and looked at it carefully. Li Rong laughed and said: "Just now I made a small scratch with the 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, you are done with the file."

"Yes, where are you going now?"

"I have to go back."

Shangguan Ya thought for a while, and then said, "Why don't your Highness give me a ride?"

"Okay."

Knowing that Shangguanya had something to say, Li Rong turned around and said to Xun Chuan: "You lead them back to the princess's mansion first, and I'll be back later."

Xun Chuan raised his hand to salute, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan led Shangguanya into the carriage. After the three of them sat down, Shangguanya said, "Send me to Juxian Teahouse, and I will go back from there in a while."

"You did a good job in this play."

Shangguanya smiled, she was silent and said nothing.

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. He looked at Li Rong’s wound and after confirming that there was nothing serious, he took it from the side. Clean water and ointment, treat the wound for her.

Shangguanya watched the two people interact. After a while, she retracted her eyes and said in a slow voice: "Your Highness, I can make a long story short. This may be presumptuous, but it's just a suggestion."

"You said."

"According to what His Highness said today, in fact, His Highness is also looking for the next suitable candidate, why not find Su Rongqing?"

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan's movements froze. Li Rong raised her eyebrows and listened to Shangguanya's analysis: "I don't seem to be totally unintentional about the look of Master Su today. If His Highness can win Master Su over, he will do things in the future. It will be much more convenient."

"What do you mean?" Pei Wenxuan looked at Shangguanya coldly. Shangguanya smiled apologetically, and said slowly: "I offended Master Pei. Today I have heard about the future plans of the two from the princess, so I give some advice. If your Highness has the heart, no matter how talented you are, Master Su's character, appearance, family status, and your Highness can't be more suitable. Why don't Your Highness take the matter and stabilize Master Su first, and have won the position of Master Su and let His Highness Supervision Department The formation is smoother, and the future marriage of His Royal Highness is resolved, so that when the two are married, suitable young talents will be married, leaving regrets. 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 of Master Su..."

"I'm not sure, it's just that some good feelings are cultivated," Shangguan Yasi thought, "As long as your Royal Highness doesn't mind, it's better for me to arrange.

"What do you want to arrange?" Pei Wenxuan said directly, "His Royal Highness's marriage should not be involved in these matters."

"If it is purely for the sake of power to sacrifice feelings, then naturally it should not be," Shangguanya smiled, "but if His Royal Highness himself is also interested, isn't this the icing on the cake? Master Pei, you and I are all friends of your Highness, and naturally it is for you. Your Highness is thinking about it."

"Or," Shangguan Ya smiled, "Master Pei have other ideas?"

Pei Wenxuan was speechless. He stared at Shangguanya, and the carriage arrived at the entrance of the teahouse, and the coachman respectfully said outside: "Your Highness, Juxian Teahouse is here."

"Ah, really fast," Shangguanya stood up and arched her hands towards the two of them, "Go ahead, if your Royal Highness thinks about it, let's say it together and arrange it next."

After speaking, Shangguanya lifted the curtain and got 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 about her?"

"Well," Li Rong thought, "That'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 Royal Highness, hoping that His Royal Highness can find someone he likes and not be contaminated with these various things. If your Royal Highness is to have a friendship with Su Rongqing for power, How is that different from you and me?"

"It's naturally different," Li Rong laughed. "Of course I have to wait until I'm sure I like him before we are together."

"Then why didn't Your Highness wait to confirm this?"

Pei Wenxuan asked seriously, Li Rong thought about it: "Then how do I make sure?"

When Pei Wenxuan was asked, Li Rong slowly said: "You told me that Su Rongqing is different from the previous life. If I don't contact him, how can I know if I like it or not?"

"Furthermore," Li Rong laughed, "Aya is really right. This is just a smooth transition, icing on the cake. Propaganda, I know that you are a person who values ​​your emotions and cannot tolerate impurities, but many things are not necessary. It's so divided. I can't get into conflict with the Criminal Ministry every time, there must be someone who moderates in the middle."

"Then I will help the Highness go down and talk." Pei Wenxuan said immediately, "If your Highness finds it inconvenient to do things in the Criminal Ministry, there are other ways to 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 with him?"

Pei Wenxuan was questioned. He looked at Li Rong seriously with a puzzled look. He felt his chest was stuffy, and an indescribable sourness surged up in his heart. He looked at Li Rong quietly and there was nothing. Say.

Li Rong paused for a moment, and slowly said: "Wen Xuan, I know you have always been hostile to Su Rongqing, but you are not used to being an emotional person. Can you give me a reason?"

Pei Wenxuan slowly calmed down. He looked at Li Rong's questioning eyes. After a long time, he lowered his eyes: "His Royal Highness said yes, it was my sentimentality. I had a dispute with him today. I felt angry for a while, listening to Shangguan. Ya feels uncomfortable when she says that, so your Highness need not care."

Li Rong listened and laughed and said, "How come you are like a child? The more you live, the more you go back."

"People are always becoming more and more like children." Pei Wenxuan smiled bitterly, lowered his eyes, and changed the subject, "His Royal Highness is not appropriate to scratch himself for the sake of history. Don't do this in the future."

"I see," Li Rong waved her hand when she saw Pei Wenxuan's mother. "It's not a big deal. The body of a daughter is for others to listen to, isn't it all an individual? It's just scratch marks, you are already very bandaged like this. Too much."

"His Royal Highness also cherishes jade body."

Pei Wen's manifesto was a little tired. Li Rong listened to it and looked back at Pei Wenxuan. She thought about it and leaned forward. Pei Wenxuan looked up at her and heard Li Rong's concern: "Pei Wenxuan, are you worried? "

"Nothing." Pei Wenxuan smiled bitterly, "Just thinking that Su Rongqing will definitely join me tomorrow."

"Don't worry about it," Li Rong raised her hand and patted his shoulder. "Tomorrow, Father will deduct your salary at most. He will deduct the money for you, and I will pay you back privately. If I get married with Su Rongqing, I will let him supply you ten times."

"Thank you." Pei Wenxuan said lightly, "It's all trivial things, and Weichen won't take it 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 dossier."

Pei Wenxuan responded and handed the file to Li Rong. Li Rong opened the file and watched quietly in the carriage.

The file consists of three parts. The first part records the overall ins and outs of Qin’s case, the second part is how to investigate and handle the reports and approvals of officials, and the third part is the transcripts of all witnesses’ confessions and evidence records. .

The confession and evidence were kept elsewhere, and Li Rong would not be able to get it for a while, so Li Rong carefully looked at the entire case.

According to the records, this case was discovered by a supervisor named Wen Ping from Yushitai. Wen Ping received a letter of report stating that the Qin family guarded Huangping County where the Rong State fought against Daxia and the third defending army. Thousands, the enemy came to commit three thousand, and then the Qin family was instructed by Yang Lie to pretend to be defeated and fled from the city.

After Wen Ping received the report, he transferred the official records of the battle from the Ministry of War. It was indeed three thousand defenders and three thousand enemy troops, and finally lost and abandoned the city. According to common sense, the number of the attackers should be far greater than the defenders to have a chance of winning. In the case of equal forces, such mistakes should not normally occur. So Wen Ping noticed the abnormality, wrote a note and submitted it to the Criminal Ministry, asking the Criminal Ministry to file a case.

Cui Shuyun, the chief of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, accepted the case and found the adjutant Luo Jun who had participated in the battle. Luo Jun confessed that he had abandoned the city when he could win. So Cui Shuyun asked Qin's house to be sealed off based on his confession, the military department’s march log, and the letter of prosecution. Related personnel. On the day of the seizure of the Qin Mansion, a letter from Yang Lie to Qin Lang, the head of the Qin family, was found from the Qin family, stating that if the Qin family was falsely defeated, they would give the Qin family a thousand taels of gold. Thousand taels of gold.

Then Qin Lang confessed to the incident, 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 finalized.

Li Rong carefully read the copied Yang Lie’s letter, the Qin family’s confession, and the military department’s march log. After reading it for a while, she laughed and said: “They also spent a thousand taels of gold to buy the Qin family’s family. People, the bid is too low."

When Pei Wenxuan heard Li Rong mention the business, he eased his emotions. He raised his head and took the file from Li Rong. After reading it with Li Rong, he said slowly: "There are about three entry points in this case."

"First, find out who the person who wrote the letter is, and then find Luo Juan." Li Rong said, "Luo Juan's confession must be false. You have to find a few more people who participated in the war."

"Then it's Yang Lie's letter," Pei Wenxuan continued, "you have to take it to distinguish the authenticity."

"The last is the thousand taels of gold," Li Rong pondered. "The people who seized the Qin Mansion at the time must be found. Only they know how to put the thousand taels in."

"Tomorrow, let Xun Chuan go to Luo Juan and the veterans who participated in the war to 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, so he listened to Li Rong: "If Su Rongqing could speak, it would be great."

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, he lowered his eyebrows, and after a long time, he only said, "What if Su Rongqing refuses to let go?"

Su Rongqing didn't let it go. It would take a lot of effort for them to get the evidence of Yang Lie's letter. As for the people who searched the Qin Mansion, it might be even harder to know.

After all, the letter can still be obtained through layers of pressure, but the people who searched the Qin Mansion, once forgotten, sent it away.

Listening to Pei Wenxuan’s words, Li Rong could only say: "If Su Rongqing refuses to let go, he is afraid that he will prepare with both hands. On the one hand, he will see if there are other suitable candidates for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to gather, and on the other hand, he must follow the formal procedures. Give me evidence, I’ll trouble anyone, and I’ll keep finding them and give it.”

But this actually consumes their time, which is the next best thing.

Pei Wenxuan responded and said, "Just do it."

Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan arrived at the mansion. After getting off the carriage, Li Rong turned around and told the person next to him: "Bring a letter to Miss Shangguan, saying that she can arrange whatever she wants. The sooner the better."

The subordinate was stunned, and then went on.

Pei Wenxuan listened to her and only said: "Have you any plans?"

"I have to see those dozen people, how about you?"

"Weichen still has official duties, so go back to the official office first."

Li Rong heard what Pei Wenxuan said, thinking that he had been with her for a day and should have accumulated a lot of work, and laughed and said: "Today I have delayed you, and I have forgotten that you still have your own business. I will do it myself in the future. , Lest you have to do things in the middle of the night."

"Your Highness's business is my business. I want to accompany Your Highness."

Pei Wenxuan felt even more uncomfortable when he heard Li Rong want to do things by himself. He took a deep breath and said, "I'll pass first."

With that, Pei Wenxuan turned and left. After walking a few steps, he listened to Li Rong saying in the back: "Just finish what must be done. Tomorrow I will ask Chuan'er to talk to your chief, don't be angry. "

Hearing Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan felt sour and a little happy. He murmured and said, "Don't be too late, go to bed early."

"I know, go."

Pei Wenxuan went to the government office by himself. Li Rong entered the princess mansion. He 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 tea cup, and said slowly : "Your transfer orders should have almost arrived."

Everyone didn't dare to speak, Li Rong said slowly: "You guys are born in the cold clan and have not been able to rise in the barracks. You are obviously capable, but you just can't rise, don't you feel wronged?"

Several people looked at each other, Li Rong said their names one by one, and then said: "You people, I remember, you will stay in the Supervision Department and work hard in the future. This palace will not treat you badly. I know you are afraid of getting into trouble. But I’m going to be straightforward. From the day you entered the Supervision Department, you are members of the Supervision Department. Even if you don’t cause trouble, trouble will come to you.”

"You have done a good job, and this palace will send you Qingyun Ladder." Li Rong said, coldly, "If you can't do it well, you don't need to do anything in this palace, and you have no life to go back. You have no way out for a long time, you know? !"

When those people heard Li Rong's words, their faces were different, and Li Rong smiled angrily: "Why, I'm used to being a dog. This palace gives you a chance to be a human being. Are you not willing?"

"All follow your Highness's orders." A clever person finally reacted, knowing what Li Rong said was true, and hurriedly knelt down. !"

"Very good." Li Rong stood up and pointed to Xun Chuan next to him: "He will be your chief in the future. His name is Xun Chuan. And you," Li Rong turned her head and stared at the person who kneeled first, "You Call Tian Sheng? In the future, you will be an adjutant. The others will find the other people on the inspector's list tomorrow and divide them into twelve teams. Each will lead a group, each responsible for their own errands, and report to Tian Sheng. Give me a folder the day after, write down your specific arrangements, and Xunchuan will hand it over to me."

After Li Rong gave the instructions, she was a little tired and yawned: "Okay, let's go to rest first, you should be careful on the way back."

Li Rong said to play, and waved away in a voice of congratulations.

She went back to the house by herself and took out the confession in the Qin family 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. She couldn't stand it anymore, and yawned after washing herself. , And went to bed.

Lie down on the bed, she felt a little bit more energetic, thinking about not waiting anymore, Pei Wenxuan spent a hard day with her, and she slept beautifully by herself, but she came back and looked at it carefully, maybe she felt unfair. **** off.

Thinking about it, Li Rong flipped a book beside the bed at random and looked at it sleepily. After watching for a while, I finally didn't hold it back, and fell asleep without knowing it.

Pei Wenxuan finished his business and returned to the mansion. As soon as he returned to the mansion, the servants greeted him and brought him a bowl of pear soup. He smiled and said, "The horse, now Qiuzao, Your Royal Highness prepared pear soup for you , You drank pear soup to run."

Pei Wenxuan was stunned. This was Li Rong's habit. He responded and took the pear soup. After drinking a small bowl, he went to the bath to wash. After washing up, he went back to the room. When he reached the door, he saw the bright lights in the room. He frowned and asked Jinglan next to him in a low voice: "Is your Royal Highness sleeping?"

"His Royal Highness said that the consort is working hard today, and she wants to wait for the consort to come back."

"Don't stop you." Pei Wenxuan's heartstrings moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I can't let her be so headstrong in the future."

"Let's go to sleep first," Jinglan persuaded with a smile, "We will persuade in the future."

Pei Wenxuan knew that Jinglan was comforting him, Li Rong's temper, let alone Jinglan Jingmei, he couldn't stop it.

Feeling helpless, he opened the door and went in. Just 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. It was obviously not a normal sleep. Her sleeping posture was always the same, it wouldn't be like this. She still had a book under her face, obviously she went to sleep while reading the book.

It's autumn, and she still only wears a single shirt, with a few strands of hair covering her face, her black hair lining her white skin, and her black hair is like silk, white and snowy.

Pei Wenxuan quietly looked at this and waited for him
