The Grand Princess

On the second day, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan got up together. Pei Wenxuan got up first, as if nothing had happened. Pei Wenxuan served Li Rong and put on clothes, and went to the court with her.

After the two got in the carriage, Pei Wenxuan intended to point out: "His Royal Highness slept well last night?"

Li Rong looked at Zhezi and didn't look up, and asked, "Why do you ask that? The cohort did not sleep well?"

Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong calmly, and for a while, she didn't know if she really slept last night or not.

Seeing that he was speechless, Li Rong felt amused in her heart, so she changed the subject and just asked, "Which other people are still attending me at Yushitai?"

"Only those of the Chen family are left."

When Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong asking about business matters, he didn't dare not answer, so he could only change the subject with her and said, "It's the family of Chen Guang from the Ministry of Households."

"He is going to die."

Li Rong put it lightly: "He handled both the Qin family case and the military payment case at the same time. He was the one who led the military payment case. The Qin family's case, others can be said to be unintentional, but he survived and forced the Qin family to death. From now on, he is probably worried that the military payment case will be uncovered, so he wants to take the opportunity to completely seal the Qin family, and there will be no evidence in the future."

"The Chen family actually knows that he can't be saved," Pei Wenxuan said flatly, "but Chen Guang’s group refused to let go. Chen Guang’s mother came to Yushitai several times and cried in front of Chen Hui Yushi. It's making trouble again, and Chen Hui is afraid that he won't be able to hold back his aunt's plea, so even though Zhezi wrote it, it's not a big deal, just leave it to me."

Li Rong replied, she thought about it, and laughed: "This case is over and the Chinese New Year can be celebrated. The court is going to take a seven-day holiday. Have you thought about how to live it?"

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan didn't expect Li Rong to say such a familiar thing. He felt warm in his heart and replied: "If your Royal Highness has any thoughts, you can tell the Weichen, and the Weichen will arrange it."

"I can't go far away," Li Rong was a little regretful. "After these two big cases, I'm afraid that many people will die, so I won't leave Huajing."

"His Royal Highness is thinking."

Li Rong thought for a while, and sighed: "It's been a long time since I saw flowers. It's been too long this winter."

"Does Your Highness want to appreciate the plum?" Pei Wenxuan thought, Li Rong laughed, "Where can I not see plum blossoms? There are in the palace."

"Speaking of it," Pei Wenxuan put his hand on the table and moved closer to Li Rong. "I have known my Royal Highness for so many years, but I only know that my Royal Highness loves peonies, but I don't know other flowers. Does your Highness have cute ones?

"I like a lot of peach blossoms, pears, orchids, and orchids, all of them are good. But my favorite is the gaudy ones, peony, peony, rose, and all of them."

Li Rong answered casually, and then remembered: "What do you ask these for?"

As she said, she became vigilant: "You must not give me these, wasting money, now is the time to spend money."

Pei Wenxuan had a guilty conscience. He turned his eyes to serve the tea, and subconsciously said: "His Royal Highness has thought about it a lot, and the We Minister can't bear to spend so much money to send these to His Highness."

When the voice fell, Pei Wenxuan immediately felt that he was cheap again, and hurriedly turned around and added: "If the price is right, it will still be given."

Li Rong didn't speak, and his eyes were full of disgust. Pei Wenxuan was swept away by this look, and wanted to say something to frustrate her, but he restrained and turned his head away.

Li Rong watched his face turn and turn, she couldn't help laughing, and poked him with a fan: "If you want to scold me, don't hold back."

"His Royal Highness is joking," Pei Wenxuan raised his head with a smile on his face, "His Royal Highness is the darling of the Weichen, how can the Weichen be willing to scold him?"

As soon as Li Rong heard this, she showed an unhappy look: "You talk about you, and you just talk. Why do you curse?"

When Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong burying him, he sneered and didn't say much, he went to see the paper.

After looking at the Zhezi for a moment, Pei Wenxuan remembered what he wanted to say at first. He wanted to talk about what happened last night and ask about Li Rong’s feelings, but now that the interruption has diminished the atmosphere. I feel embarrassed to ask again.

Pei Wenxuan couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He glanced at Li Rong on the opposite side, and saw that the other party was smiling and drinking tea while looking at Zhezi. After thinking about the conversation before, he determined that Li Rong must have been awake last night. .

It is because I woke up that I didn't want to talk about it, and deliberately turned the topic off.

Thinking of Li Rong's seemingly shy turn around last night, and deliberately changing the subject today, Pei Wenxuan tasted something.

He suddenly discovered that Li Rong was not good at tit-for-tat, but being so soft to remind her, it seemed to have some effect.

In fact, Li Rong always seemed to have such a temperament, but it was more obvious when he was young. At that time, he dared to kiss her forcibly. She dared to hold his face and kiss him ten times. She held up her momentum, never stage fright, and always seemed to be herself. The arrogant posture that can raise ten faces is very cute.

If this year is long, it seems that your temperament has been restrained, and you will not do anything to kiss her ten times, but the bones have not changed at all.

If he dares to kiss her forcefully, she will be able to treat him in front of her face, and what really keeps her off is the intimacy that is more passionate than desire.

When kissing her, she could still hold his hand and refuse.

Kissing her forehead quietly, she blushed and dared not look at him, not even mentioning it.

Realizing this, Pei Wenxuan couldn't help laughing. He didn't ask any more, just lowered his head, and looked at the Zhezi in his hand idle, but his smile couldn't fall.

Li Rong took a peek at Pei Wenxuan, and saw that Pei Wenxuan lowered his head and smiled without speaking. The young man under the candlelight had a pale face and a gentle expression. The thin and slender pen hand turned the pages of the book, silently drawing a somewhat unspeakable handsomeness.

Li Rong's heart jumped, and she hurriedly shifted her eyes.

He didn't even dare to ask why he laughed.

The two went to the court together. After the court, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan separated and went straight to the Supervisory Department.

The Supervision Department was established in the outskirts of the city. Now there are two deputy directors, one is Su Ronghua who came from the court, and the other is Shangguan Ya appointed by Li Rong.

Li Rong came down from the court and just entered the inspector’s yard, she heard Shangguanya’s voice coming from inside: "I said, I didn’t beat him, the wound was caused by him, and this confession is also He admitted it himself."

"Miss Shangguan joked, who is the best to get yourself a whip?"

Su Ronghua's voice sounded, Li Rong stepped into the main hall, Shangguan Ya saw Li Rong coming, her face was a little bit of joy, and said happily: "Your Highness."

"Listen to you guys arguing," Li Rong smiled and walked to the table, looking down at the page on the table. Li Rong picked up the page and glanced at it. "Master Su seems to say that this confession cannot be used?"

"Back to Your Highness," Su Ronghua said with a salute and smiled, "According to the "Law of the Great Xia", the nobles cannot be tortured. Today I went to visit Master Chen. He had a whiplash on his body. This confession may have been extracted by torture. "

"Just hit a whip for torture?" Shangguanya sneered, "Master Su is coaxing the child?"

"A whiplash is also a whiplash," Li Rong said gently, "Since Master Su feels that this statement is inappropriate, he can try it again. I will come personally."

As he said, Li Rong put down his confession, led Shangguanya to turn his head to look at the prison, and said calmly: "Go."

Shangguan Ya got the words, and glanced at Su Ronghua coldly: "Master Su, let's be together, lest we say that we beat Master Chen and tortured to extract a confession, and the confession is useless."

Su Ronghua smiled and saluted, raising his hand and said, "Please."

The three of them were in jail together, and Li Rong asked the "Master Chen" to be dragged out.

Li Rong laughed as soon as she saw it, it was Chen Guang who had spoken to Pei Wenxuan this morning.

This person was born in a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River and was the head of the warehouse in the household department.

The head of the warehouse department is in charge of warehousing. After ten years in this sensitive position, he is considered an old fried dough stick.

Li Rong looked at his confession and asked Shangguanya to invite him to sit down.

After Chen Guang sat down, Li Rong put down his confession, laughed and said, "Master Chen."

"Your Highness."

Chen Guang arched his hands and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is just right, the Weichen has something to start playing Your Highness."

"Master Chen wants to sue Master Shangguan for abusing lynching against you." Li Rong said directly, "Really?"

"Ah," Chen Guang said with a surprised expression, "Your Highness already knows?"

Li Rong nodded: "I heard, I heard that Master Chen was given a whip in prison."

"Yes," Chen Guang opened his clothes and said hurriedly, "His Royal Highness, the wound is deep."

"I don't know when and where did Master Chen get this whip?"

"Just last night," Chen Guang said immediately, "When she tried me, you see this scar is fresh."

"Call a doctor over and show Master Chen the injury."

Li Rong raised her hand to greet the person next to her, then turned her head away, and said with a very good temper: "Then Master Chen, your confession may not be used anymore. Let's record another copy."

Chen Guang smiled and raised his hand: "His Royal Highness, please, if your Highness is here, we will definitely be able to tell the truth."

"Master Chen," Li Rong nodded, touching the confession, and said slowly, "Speaking of which, you are also the veteran of the household, so you should know a few things."

"What is your Highness talking about?"

"The first thing is that according to the Ming law, the penalty for officials who confessed will be reduced or exempted, while officials who do not confess will receive a higher penalty."

"I know." Chen Guang nodded, "What then?"

"The second thing is that your current sins add up to nothing more than a loss of officialdom, but if you add more sins, it would be a loss of life."

"His Royal Highness is serious," Chen Guang said with a smile, "not to mention that the ministers are innocent, even if they are guilty, they don't know this? In the past, many ministers were more serious than the ministers, but..."

"But they were interrogating at the Ministry of Criminal Justice," Li Rong raised his eyes, slammed the table, and shouted, "This is the Superintendent! Are you still playing with you when you are in this palace?! This palace tells you, it's just you. The sin, you recruited today, this palace can let you go back to enjoy your old age, if you don't recruit, I promise you won't get under your feet in the market!"

Chen Guang's expression changed drastically. Li Rong raised his hand and grabbed a stack of confessions: "Why do you think I want you to confess? It's just to save you a way out for your family's face, otherwise," Li Rong looked up and sneered. With a cry, "Master Chen, think about Master Wang who was killed by the wronged soul."

Chen Guang stopped speaking, and Su Ronghua coughed slightly: "His Royal Highness, Master Chen is old after all, he..."

"Is it your turn to speak here?"

Li Rong raised his eyes and said coldly: "Is this palace not dead, this palace won't let you speak, what are you talking about?"

"Offend your Highness again," Shangguan Ya laughed, "but it's about to slap her lips."

Su Ronghua glanced at Shangguan Ya coldly. Shangguan Ya snorted and looked away.

Li Rong waited for a while, flipped through the confession quickly, and then casually said: "When you were in charge of the warehouse, how much food did you give to Huangping County?"

Before Chen Guang could speak, Li Rong himself answered "three thousand".

Chen Guang's expression was not very good, Li Rong frowned, turned a few pages, raised his hand and threw the confession away, stood up and said, "Didn't all the others have been recruited? Su Lin has already been recruited, why are they still? Must Master Chen's confession? It's a nonsense!"

Hearing this, Chen Guang hurriedly looked at Su Ronghua. Su Ronghua was about to say something, Shangguanya blocked Chen Guang's sight and laughed and said, "Master Su talks a lot today?"

Su Ronghua's expression was a little ugly. Li Rong led the people out. Halfway through the walk, Chen Guang suddenly stopped her: "Wait, Your Highness."

Li Rong paused and turned his head. Chen Guang paled and said anxiously: "His Royal Highness, if I recruit, can Your Highness leave me a way out?"

"It depends on what you recruit, if you recruit nothing new..."

Li Rong smiled: "I don't like people who waste my time."

"I have hard evidence." Chen Guang said anxiously, "His Royal Highness, all you have now are confessions? I have evidence!"

Li Rong turned back and sat down and said, "Let's talk about it."

As he said, Li Rong turned his head again and looked at Su Ronghua: "Master Su, it involves the children of the nobles. Would you like to avoid it?"

Su Ronghua didn't speak, he stared at Chen Guang, Chen Guang didn't dare to look at him, Shangguan Ya raised his hand and said, "Master Su, please."

Chen Guang really has the iron proof. Su Lin of the Su family is a distant house of the Su family, and the relationship is not big, but the Su family is noble, and he is not a small person.

This Su Lin was in the Ministry of War, and in fact, he helped open a pass, but when he was investigated, his demotion was inevitable.

Li Rong quietly listened to him confessing everything, signed and detained, then she stood up and Chen Guang said eagerly: "Your Highness, my sin..."

"Waiting for the judgment." Li Rong's voice was flat, "How to write the law, this palace will not favor favoritism."

Chen Guang's complexion was not very good, but he lowered his voice and continued to beg: "His Royal Highness, you are young, and you just entered the court, you don't know the difficulties and dangers of this. You are all relatives when they are investigated, and you can't really put me to death..."

"Why can't it?" Li Rong looked up at him and chuckled lightly. "Master Chen thinks I can't?"

"His Royal Highness," Chen Guang frowned, "If you really killed me, how would you explain to the family?"

"When you are doing things," Li Rong said coldly, "Have you ever thought of giving an explanation to the soldiers who died at the border?"

"That's because they are too greedy!" Chen Guang said angrily, seeming to be extremely dissatisfied. Li Rong glanced at him coldly, and said, "You all said this to me again, are you bothering you?"

With that said, Li Rong walked out. After a few steps, Chen Guang couldn't control his emotions: "His Royal Highness, you are seeking death for yourself!"

Li Rong paused, she turned her head and sneered: "I'm afraid you are looking for death!"

After she finished speaking, she walked out the door. When she reached the door, Shangguanya greeted him. Li Rong took a look, and saw Su Ronghua. She couldn't help but said, "Where are people?"

"I went to blunt the news."

Shangguanya said, took a confession from Li Rong, and praised: "His Royal Highness, I really admire you a bit. You said that you know that the grain sent out from his warehouse is three thousand stones, but you still know that he is involved. Surin? How did you know?"

"Three Thousand Stones are calculated by Pei Wenxuan's previous statistics along the road. As for Su Lin..."

Li Rong didn't say anything.

That was what Su Rongqing told her in the previous life.

Su Lin was involved in a case involving the Northwest Army's salary, and the Su family later handled him internally.

With Su Ronghua, it is impossible for Chen Guang to believe that he was confessed by others, unless he was given extra-normal details. If Su Lin and Three Thousand Stones are exploded, Chen Guang will guess that he has been sold, and Su Ronghua has been deceiving him, but only hopes that he will not confess Su Lin.

As long as Chen Guang has doubts about Su Ronghua, he will easily collapse.

Li Rong thought of what Su Rongqing had told her in her last life. She was a bit tired for a while, and did not say much. After a while, she ordered: "Go and check who was on the errand last night. It is impossible to get his whiplash by himself. The person finds out and tells that person, either to whip more or to whip himself. When the whip is over, kick the person out."

Shangguan Ya answered, Li Rong looked at the confession in her hand and said, "Who is left now?"

Shangguanya reported a few names, and Li Rong nodded and said directly: "Let's go over together."

Li Rong and Shangguanya were busy dealing with the remaining prisoners who had not yet confessed. When it was afternoon, the guards suddenly hurried in from outside and said anxiously: "Your Highness, there is something."

Li Rong sat on the chair, holding the tea, and moved her eyes to the guard's hand.

The guard held a kite in his hand, and the blood-red word "stop" was written on the kite.

When Shangguanya saw this kite, she changed her face and said coldly, "Who did it?"

"I don't know," the guard said on his knees, "just now the kite suddenly fell into the yard, and the subordinates have sent someone to catch people, but they really couldn't."

Shangguanya said with a cold face, as if she wanted to curse, and knew that this kind of thing was really hard to investigate. She looked back at Li Rong. Li Rong was holding tea. After thinking about it for a moment, she laughed: "I have nowhere to go, so I pretend to be a fool. When I go back, take a few more people and let them."

After Li Rong finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, put the tea cup on the table, turned to look at the official being interrogated, and continued to do things.

She was never afraid of assassination. She had been so used to this all her life in the last life.

After all, Shangguan Ya had just encountered this kind of thing, she took a moment to relax, and finally settled down.

The two were busy all the way to midnight, and Pei Wenxuan finally finished his business, came out of the palace, got on the carriage, and went to the princess mansion.

Pei Wenxuan was a little tired. He leaned on the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He had little time to rest, so he had to take all the time to rest.

When the carriage was halfway, it stopped abruptly, Pei Wenxuan put his sleeves together, and slowly opened his eyes. Tong Ye rolled the curtain and whispered: "My lord, I blocked the street and sued the imperial court."

Pei Wenxuan frowned. As Yushi, it is indeed a common thing to receive the Yuzhang. He nodded and said tiredly: "Bring the paper up."

Tong Ye responded, jumped off the carriage, and walked to the child who was blocking the street.

However, at that moment, feather arrows flew out of the crowd and fell directly into Pei Wenxuan's carriage from the window. Pei Wenxuan's hand was faster, and he closed the window when he raised his hand.

At the same time, Yin Jian pushed the curtain of the car to enter, Pei Wenxuan coldly watched the long sword reaching in front of him, Pei Wenxuan raised his hand and grabbed the sword hidden under the position, bending when the opponent's sword reached in front of him. Taking a step forward, a sword penetrated the opponent's belly. The man slashed at him desperately, Pei Wenxuan tried his best to push him out, but the sword still ran across his arm, and blood spread out instantly.

Although Pei Wenxuan seems to have only brought a child industry on weekdays, in fact, his hands are everywhere in secret. As soon as the other party started, Pei Wenxuan's people rushed up, except for this fish that slipped through the net, everyone else was stopped outside. After a while, the murderers were restrained.

Tong Ye hurriedly raised the curtain and came in, holding his sword: "Master, are you okay?"

Pei Wenxuan covered the wound on his hand and didn't say much. He stepped out of the carriage. Everyone else was dead. Only the child who first sued the court was left. He walked directly to the child, but the child saw Pei. Wen Xuan walked over, gritted his teeth, and actually broke free of the guard's control and rushed towards Pei Wenxuan. Fortunately, the guard reacted extremely quickly, and a sword caught up and penetrated him.

Pei Wenxuan said in shock: "Slow..."

Without finishing the words, the child is dead. The guard knelt down, flipped his mouth quickly, and then raised his head and said, "My lord, it's a dwarf."

The killers on the rivers and lakes like to use training dwarfs as killers. These people look like children and easily let people relax their vigilance, but in terms of strength movements, they are authentic adults.

Pei Wenxuan's expression was a little ugly. After staring at the killer for a while, he could only say: "Check, send more people to protect your Highness."

"Yes."

The guard responded and immediately rushed to inform Li Rong.

However, Li Rong's informant went to the Supervision Department a step earlier. Li Rong had just walked out of the Supervision Department and was wiping her hands with a hot kerchief, talking to Shangguanya about the follow-up matters.

As soon as the two walked out of the lobby, they heard Jinglan walk in and said anxiously: "Your Highness, it's not OK."

Li Rong raised her eyes, and Jing Lan hurriedly said: "The consort was assassinated."

Hearing this, Li Rong suddenly opened her eyes.

Shangguanya also showed a look of shock, and then she immediately reacted and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, don't panic, you first go back to the mansion to see the horse, I will check."

Li Rong calmed down and rushed out, pulled the horse and turned on the horse, and said loudly: "Dig people out for me, I will kill them!"

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]

Pei family: "Pei Wenxuan, we want to bully you."

Pei Wenxuan: "I have a wife."

Boss: "Pei Wenxuan, officialdom is not easy, please sigh."

Pei Wenxuan: "I have a wife."

Killer: "Pei Wenxuan, we want to kill you."

Pei Wenxuan: "I have a wife."

Everyone: "Can you say anything other than this sentence?"

Pei Wenxuan: "You run away, my wife is here."
