The Grand Princess

Li Rong didn't expect Li Chuan to come in person. She frowned and lowered her voice: "What are you here for? Is this the place you were supposed to come?!"

"Don't talk about it," Pei Wenxuan came from behind, leaning sideways in front of his sister and brother, looking at the surroundings, "There are many people with mixed eyes, so let's go in first."

Knowing that Pei Wenxuan was right, Li Rong turned and walked forward and whispered, "Go in."

The group went straight to the jail. An attendant led the way. The other party did not dare to look back. He seemed to know who had come. He sent the person to the cell respectfully, and then whispered to Li Rong: "Your Majesty, the time cannot be too long. , The shift will be changed in two quarters, you as soon as possible."

After speaking, the attendant retreated. Li Rong raised his eyes to see the person in the prison. After a brief period of panic, the old man immediately recognized the person, and said anxiously: "Your Highness! Are you His Highness Pingle and His Highness Prince?"

"Master Qin."

Li Rong stepped forward and bowed. She looked at the man with her hands in front of the door fence. The old man’s prison clothes were stained with blood, and his clothes became rags because of the execution. Li Rong couldn’t bear it, but she remained calm. : "I'm coming to try the Qin family's case now, do you know?"

Qin Lang was stunned, then slowly said: "Did I really find you?"

Li Rong tightened her lips and nodded. The old man sighed, "Fortunately, she is out, otherwise how would I face the mountains under Jiuquan and Lin'er on the battlefield."

Qin Shan is the father of Qin Lin and Qin Zhenzhen. He went with his wife early. As his father, Qin Lang placed the responsibility of raising two grandchildren on himself. As Qin Lang said, he remembered: "Your Highness, Is it okay now?"

Li Rong listened and glanced at Xun Chuan next to him subconsciously.

Wearing a mask, Xun Chuan quietly looked at the old man in front of him, with a bit of intolerance in his eyes.

But she didn't say a word, Li Rong didn't say anything, and said in a low voice, "Time is running out, Master Qin, please tell me the whole case from beginning to end."

"Where does Your Highness want me to start?"

The old man smiled bitterly.

Li Rong calmly said, "Huangping County."

Xun Chuan took a chair from the side and placed it behind Li Rong, and then she took another chair and placed it behind Li Chuan.

Pei Wenxuan stood behind Li Rong, and Xun Chuan stood behind Li Chuan.

Li Rong tapped on the fan and slowly said: "This case started when Wen Ping received a letter from the Yushitai, saying that you were bribed by the Yang family and instructed Qin Feng to deliberately abandon the city during the First World War in Huangping County. The lieutenant took Luo Jun’s confession as evidence to confirm the matter, and there was a letter from Huang Jin and Yang Lie in the courtyard as auxiliary evidence. I originally wanted to find Luo Jun to ask the whole process, but now he is dead."

Qin Lang was stunned, and he said in disbelief: "Luo Juan is dead?"

"Yes," Li Rong said calmly. "The generals who participated in the First World War in Huangping County are now dead."

Qin Lang's face turned pale in an instant, his body shook, Pei Wenxuan stepped over, reached into the prison, held Qin Lang, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't worry, your majesty is still trial, and there is still room for overturning. You only It is necessary to understand what happened in the first place, and just tell the truth."

"According to the facts..." Qin Lang's lips trembled, "And...what's the use? About the Huangping County incident, they can't let us reverse the case."

"That's it." Li Rong said directly, "I and the prince are sitting here, don't waste time."

"Uncle," Pei Wenxuan stared at Qin Lang, "You still have a family, as long as there is a chance to survive, you must seize it."

"What you said is." Qin Lang took a deep breath and said slowly: "In the first battle in Huangping County, our city had three thousand guards and the enemy attacked three thousand. My son Qin Feng was the master, Yang Lie had planned Let us defend the city for five days, but we are not defeated. We can only let people **** the people out of the city, and then abandon the city to leave."

"You defended the city, they attacked the city, and they were quite strong, so you shouldn't lose." Li Rong reminded him directly, "Why did you lose?"

Qin Lang listened to these words, and after a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly: "I let Feng'er go."

"Why?"

Li Rong continued to question, Qin Lang tightened his lips. After a long time, he raised his eyes and stared at Li Rong quietly: "Because there is no one."

Li Rong was a little surprised. She didn't quite understand, so she could only repeat it again: "No one?"

"Yes," Qin Lang took a deep breath. "Three months before the war, the food and salaries have been insufficient. The rations for 3,000 people were all dressed in sand when they were transported. The soldiers had nothing to eat, so they could only put rice and sand every day. Separate them, boil them into rice porridge and drink them. Many of those rice are still stale rice. When the war begins, it is said that there are three thousand people. In fact, many soldiers are already sick, and there are less than two thousand who can fight. In addition, the military payment has not arrived. If you keep going, there will really be no food at all."

"How can you get food?" Li Chuan frowned, "have you not told Yang Lie?"

"I said it." Qin Lang smiled bitterly, "but what's the use? The royal court pays only a small amount of military salary, and it is divided into layers, and priority is given to the first-class families, and then we ordinary families. The sixteen cities in the northwest, who will reach out? Want food?"

"But Huangping County is on the front line!"

Li Chuan was a little angry: "Yang Lie doesn't even have this point?!"

Qin Lang didn't speak, Li Rong said directly: "Have you reported these?"

"I wrote a note later, it should be behind the march log."

"I checked the march log of the Ministry of War." Li Rong frowned, "No."

Qin Lang chuckled softly, "Your Highness," his voice was hoarse, "How could it be possible?"

"That is," Qin Lang choked up a bit in his voice, "The military department of the family."

Everyone didn't speak. After Li Rong took a moment to relax, he said, "You give me a list of all relevant personnel that year."

While speaking, Pei Wenxuan handed Qin Lang a pen and paper, and Qin Lang tremblingly wrote the name stroke by stroke.

This man is already old. He has been fighting on the battlefield all his life. He hasn't bowed his head all his life, but in this big summer prison, he has buckled his backbone.

Li Chuan clenched his fists involuntarily, and at this moment, he felt something lowered on his shoulders. He turned his head in amazement and saw the man standing behind him staring at Qin Lang in prison, tears falling silently.

Li Chuan was stunned. He felt that the young man in front of him was vaguely familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had met. He watched quietly, and after a while, he heard Qin Lang say: "Your Highness, it's finished."

Li Rong took the list of events from Qin Lang's hands. She glanced at the name on it and was silent.

Qin Lang sat cross-legged in the prison and sighed, "Your Highness, you are still young, go back first."

Li Rong was holding the list, and she looked at the old man with a bit of vigor after she had been punished in the cell.

She watched for a long time, raised her hand, and bowed deeply to the person inside.

There was footsteps outside, and Pei Wen preached: "It should be someone here."

Li Rong nodded, Li Chuan put on his hat again, covering his face.

The attendant carried the lamp and whispered: "Your Majesty must go."

Li Rong replied and said: "If you take care of it, there must be no mistakes."

The attendant answered, Li Rong was about to go out, so she heard Qin Lang stop her: "Your Highness."

Li Rong turned her head and saw the old man hesitatingly said, "True, what happened?"

Li Rong did not speak. She looked at the old man's worried and expectant eyes. After a long time, she said: "She is doing well, you don't have to worry."

Qin Lang let go and kowtowed towards Li Rong. Li Rong turned her head blankly and led the people out.

After leaving the gate, Li Rong immediately said with Xun Chuan, "Relocate some personnel. In any case, the Qin family will be directly transferred from the Criminal Department tonight. If you have any questions, let them find me."

Xun Chuan said respectfully, then turned to lead the horse and galloped into the night.

When Xun Chuan left, Li Chuan retracted his eyes, frowned and said: "That person just now, I always feel familiar with him, is this sister's new subordinate?"

Li Rong paused, then replied: "You go back to the palace first, don't let people find that you are interfering."

"sister……"

Li Chuan hesitated to speak, and Li Rong immediately knew what he meant. She raised her eyes and said calmly: "This is something in my hands, I have my own sense."

Li Chuan was silent, and after a while, he saluted: "I'm leaving first."

After speaking, Li Chuan followed the attendant back to the carriage. Before he left, he paused and finally said: "Sister, the Qin family must live."

"I know."

Li Rong said coldly: "You go."

Li Chuan nodded and finally left.

After Li Chuan left, Pei Wenxuan stood behind Li Rong and whispered, "His Royal Highness, are you going back to the mansion?"

Li Rong did not speak. She looked at Long Street quietly. After a while, she said slowly: "I thought I was old."

Pei Wenxuan stood behind her, without saying a word, Li Rong laughed: "But now I know that no matter what time people, there are always such hurdles in their hearts."

"What is your Highness going to do?"

Li Rong didn't speak, she put her hands in front of her, and slowly closed her eyes.

After a long time, she said: "Pei Wenxuan."

"His Royal Highness please give orders."

Pei Wenxuan bowed and saluted, and Li Rong whispered: "Your Dato Chasi and my token, along the route from the military payment to Huangping Town, transcribe all the records of the county government when the military payment crossed the border. "

"I am waiting for you."

Li Rong raised her eyes and looked at him quietly.

Pei Wenxuan stared into Li Rong's eyes. At that moment, he suddenly felt that this person seemed to give himself life and death.

"I'm interrogating Qin Lang tonight. They won't know. Qin Lang has written the list. I am afraid that it will be too bad. I will let Xun Chuan protect Qin's family. Tomorrow, I will ask for a foot restraint."

"Twenty days later, it will be the day when the Qin family asks for help. You must get this list back before then."

"Can it be done?"

Pei Wenxuan did not speak. He looked at Li Rong and chuckled lightly: "Being driven by His Highness, I will never die."

"The road may not be peaceful."

Li Rong smiled lightly: "You be careful."

Pei Wenxuan knows what Li Rong's trouble is referring to. If he leaves Huajing, he wants to check the accounts of the grain depot along the way. This is not only trouble, it is a matter of death.

But Pei Wenxuan looked calm, wide-sleeved, hands in front, and bowed and said, "Weichen will start now."

Li Rong responded, and Pei Wenxuan turned around. Li Rong looked at his walking distance and suddenly called out, "Pei Wenxuan."

Pei Wenxuan put his hands in his sleeves, turned his head sideways, the young man in blue and white shirt, the light and sparks fell in the eyes of the old man.

Li Rong looked at him, and after a long time, she laughed.

"I'll wait for you to come back."
