The Grand Princess

Chapter 26: jail

Li Rong didn't speak, she watched Su Rongqing quietly.

Su Rongqing was still looking at her, and she did not speak.

After a long time, Li Rong spoke slowly: "I remember that the Su family used to only be loyal to your Majesty."

"Yes." Su Rongqing said calmly, "so Rong Qing is just Rong Qing, not the Su family."

Li Rong understood what Su Rongqing meant. She tapped on the small table. Outside was the noise of the street. Su Rongqing waited for Li Rong's response.

"Why choose the prince at this time?"

Li Rong spoke slowly, and Su Rongqing looked down, calmly and calmly said: "Your Majesty is warlike in his prime, so that the people's livelihood in Daxia is so difficult. Now he favors the ministers, and the people are more difficult. The prince is benevolent and advocates foreign Confucianism and internal Taoism. Cultivating health and rest, Rong Qing wishes to see the world like this, so he follows His Highness."

"You can talk to the prince directly," Li Rong brought tea, "What do you tell me about this?"

"The prince is magnanimous and cannot hide things. Rong Qing's current position should not be known to the prince."

Li Rong understood.

Even if Su Rongqing represents herself, as a child of the Su family, if Li Ming knows that he has taken refuge in the prince, then Li Ming's suspicion of the prince is probably deeper.

Now he has found the opportunity to make his stand with her, and she can at least help Li Chuan use Su Rongqing in planning in the future.

Li Rong did not speak while listening, Su Rongqing raised her head in confusion, he couldn't help but say, "Your Highness?"

"You don't need to do this," Li Rong regained his senses, and said flatly, "The Su family has been righteous for all generations. Your Majesty believes in you because of this loyalty. You don't have to stand in line and do your own business. If something happens to the prince in the future, you You can settle for yourself, if the prince becomes the throne," Li Rong looked at him, only said, "As long as you do your own thing as you do now, as long as this palace is still there, then the Su family will always be the Su family."

Su Rongqing was silent when he heard this, as if he was thinking.

Seeing him seemingly upset, Li Rong calmed down and said, "I didn't mean to refuse you to take refuge, but I think," Li Rong hesitated for a while before speaking slowly, "Master Su is a gentleman, don't Contaminated with these things."

Although she and Su Rongqing really met after he fell apart, the Su Rongqing she knew and saw was the same as the politician today, but she would still remember the faintly soft light in her eyes when Su Rongqing mentioned to her when she was young. .

When she and Pei Wenxuan came back, they were already old, that was nothing but Su Rongqing, who was still young in front of her, couldn't help feeling a little loving.

Su Rongqing heard what she said, and for a moment, Li Rong turned the fan in her hand, coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Master Su, let me tell you about the military account book."

Hearing this, Su Rongqing returned to his senses, respectfully responding, and checked the current accounts of the Ministry of War.

The two entered the Ministry of Defense one after the other. Su Rongqing had already arranged the officials. Li Rong went to the room where the accounts were kept, called up all the accounts related to the northwest border, and brought the people to check the accounts.

There are many accounts. Li Rong stayed in the Ministry of War for two days. After two days, after checking the accounts, she immediately led people, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs issued a transfer order to arraign all relevant persons collectively.

At the same time, Li Rong also instructed Jinglan to arrange for everyone in the princess mansion, keeping an eye on all changes in Tuobayan's mansion, and inquiring about Li Chuan's trip to Jiulu Mountain daily.

She knew that no more than five days later, news would come from the border, and these five days would be the time she arranged everything.

These actions by her were not too big, and auditing and interrogating the officials were not fatal injuries to the Yang family. There could not be any problems with their public accounts. In Ning Fei’s view, Li Rong’s actions, even She was looking in the wrong direction, and she was happy to watch Li Rong spin around like a headless fly.

And Li Rong's investigation of Tuobayan was going on quietly, even Su Rongqing, who followed her every day to check the accounts, didn't know that she was still biting Tuobayan.

After handling the case for four consecutive days, Li Rong almost cleared the entire process and amount of the military pay to the Yang family. When she walked out of the military department with a confession contentedly, it was midnight. Just after she left the gate, Jinglan walked forward. , Whispered: "Your Highness, Tuobayan has found it."

Hearing this, Li Rong was happy, and she knew that Tuobayan could not die so easily. She restrained her emotions, led people forward, and whispered as she walked, "Where are people?"

"On the outskirts of the city, still chasing."

"I will go over immediately."

After that, Li Rong arranged for someone, a group of people pretended to **** her back to the princess mansion, and another group of people followed her, Qingqi, and went straight out of the city.

After arriving on the outskirts of the city, someone was waiting there, seeing Li Rong coming over, whispered: "Your Highness, someone has caught it."

Li Rong nodded, and followed the group to a ruined house. The house was full of hidden guards. The big man in the middle was tied to a chair. He was wet and wounded and looked very tired.

Li Rong walked to the person and said with a smile: "Liu Ye hasn't seen you for a long time."

Tuobayan heard this voice, he panted and raised his head, staring at Li Rong for a while, hoarsely saying, "It's you."

"It's me." Li Rong nodded and said, "Liu Ye is not having a good time these days? I thought Liu Ye should be out of Huajing, why are you still strolling around Huajing?"

"who are you?"

Tuobayan stared at Li Rong and said directly: "What are you going to do?"

"You probably already know who I am," Li Rong chuckled. "Now I just want Liu Ye to help. Your account book is not enough. Liu Ye see if it can be a personal certificate?"

"It's not compliant."

Tuobayan whispered: "Since the princess can find me, she should know that we can die in this business and we can't violate this rule."

"Liu Ye, they are going to kill you first." Li Rong said softly, "They killed you, you fight back, can this be considered a bad rule?"

Li Rong said, squatting down and looking at Tuobayan with a smile: "Liu Ye, I know your rules. You can't reveal half of your guests. But if you don't have any idea of ​​counterattack, you hide these books. doing what?"

"This is just a threat," Tuobayan said calmly, "Once the threat is used, it is no longer a threat."

"You are just afraid that you will take out the account book and give it to the Yang family. Those other houses that you hold the account book will kill you. But Liu Ye, only if you have a life, you have a chance to be killed."

"Then you kill me."

Tuobayan said coldly: "In your hands, I never thought about being alive."

"Liu Ye joked, where would I kill you?" Li Rong gently said, "You are afraid of the methods of the firm, you think," Li Rong gently put her hand on Tuobayan's shoulder, "Is this palace not ?"

"Quietly tell you about torture," Li Rong leaned against Tuobayan, her voice soft, "The palace has studied more than your firm, here comes."

Li Rong straightened up and said calmly: "Pull out his nails for me first!"

With that said, Li Rong walked to the chair that had been cleaned up and picked up tea from the side. He smiled and said, "Liu Ye, it's almost dawn now. The firm's thirty-nine punishments won't be used tomorrow night. , How about how many more can I add to you?"

As soon as the voice fell, Tuobayan screamed, and the blood fell on Li Rong's skirt. Li Rong looked down to drink tea with his usual expression.

Jinglan paled next to him, and Li Rong said calmly: "Get out if you feel uncomfortable."

Jinglan got the words, and hurriedly left with her mouth covered. Li Rong held the tea bowl and said peacefully: "Liu Ye, you can't live with the rules all the time. You have to learn to judge the situation. You are dead now when you go out. Staying by your side can still There is a way to survive. You are tough today, and thirty-nine punishments can be tolerated, but do you think you are over when you die? Your wife works as an embroiderer in Qingshui Town, Luzhou, and your son is now at school age. I heard you gave He has arranged an identity and wants to study in Fengshan Academy next year. There are many things, don't be too stubborn, think about it." Li Rong raised his eyes and smiled, "Think again."

After Li Rong finished speaking, she turned her head and said, "Spread him honey."

As soon as the voice fell, Tuobayan's voice came: "I'm recruiting!"

Everyone stopped. Li Rong looked up at him. This person stared at her with blood-red eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "I will give you a confession, but you have to promise one thing."

"Your wife will receive me, and the children will enter a better Xiangshan Academy." Li Rong knew what he was going to say, and said directly, "You enter the princess mansion and do things as long as you are honest," Li Rong stared at him. This palace does not treat its own people wrongly."

Tuobayan did not speak. He panted and stared at Li Rong. After a long time, Li Rong raised his chin: "Give him pen and paper."

The attendant next to him sent a pen and paper, and Tuobayan untied the rope, shaking hands and began to write a statement.

He wrote extremely difficultly. After he finished writing, he sent it to Li Rong. Li Rong read it again and confirmed that there was no problem with the confession. After that, he ordered the people next to him to place Tuobayan to Li Chuan. Then he got into the carriage and led him. The man returned to the princess mansion.

She stayed up all night, sitting on the carriage with her eyes closed and rested, thinking about the current arrangements.

The evidence of Yang’s embezzlement of military payments is basically complete on Huajing’s side, including the military department’s accounts, Tuobayan’s confession, and the private account. She has also obtained the confessions of all relevant personnel involved. Next, She only needs to wait for the side to close the accounts.

She was thinking about it, when there was the sound of horseshoes suddenly outside, and then her carriage stopped abruptly, and she heard someone say: "Is Princess Pingle in the car?"

Li Rong motioned to Jinglan. Jinglan raised the curtains and poked her head out. When she saw the men of the Criminal Ministry standing outside, Jinglan frowned, "You are?"

"The subordinate supervised the arrest of Si Wang Qing, and his majesty has given oral instructions. In recent days, Princess Pingle has abused her power to bend the law for personal gains, in the name of investigating the case, to bully the ministers of the brachial stock, and collude with the suspect Pei Wenxuan to murder others. Suspect, he was fined for a full month and transferred to the Criminal Ministry to assist in investigating the murder of Tuobayan."

When she heard this, Jing Lan was stunned. She looked back at Li Rong who had raised the curtain, not knowing how to speak.

Tuobayan was in their hands. As long as they handed over the people, Li Rong would not be able to enter the Criminal Department, and Pei Wenxuan would also be released.

However, when Li Rong didn't speak, Jinglan didn't dare to say more. Li Rong looked at the man in front of her, she smiled and said gently, "Does this palace need to be taken?"

Wang Qing stepped aside respectfully and said hurriedly: "Follow Your Highness in the humble position."

Li Rong nodded, and then told Jingmei in the car: "You take someone there first and clean the cell."

Jingmei said respectfully, hurriedly got out of the carriage and led the people to go first. Li Rong returned to the carriage, closed her eyes, and said nothing.

After a while, she arrived at the prison cell. Wang Qing walked in front, respectfully. Everyone knew in their hearts that as long as Li Chuan didn't fall, Li Rong would come to the penalty department to behave.

"Master Wang," Li Rong said gently, "Can I choose where to live in this cell?"

"Of course," Wang Qing was shaking when he saw Li Rong now, for fear that he might provoke this golden branch and Yuye, and said hurriedly, "Which room did your Highness fancy?"

"Can I live in the room next to Master Pei?"

Li Rong smiled: "If you have an acquaintance, don't be afraid."

"His Royal Highness said," Wang Qing said flatly, "The princess and Lord Pei are involved in a case, and they should have been together."

Having said that, Wang Qing led Li Rong to the end of the prison.

The cell at this end was specially set up. It was obviously for high-ranking officials to live in. It was a single corner with several cells scattered. Apart from Pei Wenxuan lying in it and reading a book, there was no one else.

Pei Wenxuan was lying on the bed looking at a travel note. Seeing Li Rong came in, he got up, put the book on the small table, leaned against the wall, and looked at Li Rong with a smile.

Seeing him look over, Li Rong first chose the cell next to Pei Wenxuan. After letting people go in and arrange them, he walked to Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan looked at her up and down, and laughed: "Your Highness is so fast. Up?"

Li Rong "puchi" laughed, and she covered half of her face with a fan: "It seems that other people in prison have not learned, Master Pei's mouth can grow a lot."

"It's okay," Pei Wenxuan nodded and said with a serious expression. "His Royal Highness originally came to visit the Welfare Minister once a day, but after waiting for such a few days, we did not see a shadow of His Highness, thinking about it every day. Tossing and turning, looking through the autumn water, looking through the water, looking through the water, having fun in the pain, reminiscing about the bitterness and sweetness, now I have seen your Highness, and there are thousands of words in my heart that are too agitated and offensive. I hope that your Highness will forgive me."

Li Rong was amused by Pei Wenxuan, and she kept smiling while covering her face with a fan.

Seeing Li Rong's expression happy, Pei Wenxuan knew that there was nothing serious outside, and whispered, "Is everything done?"

"Two things are done."

Li Rong said, glanced around and whispered: "Say it later."

Jinglan Jingmei took things, cleaned the whole cell, put on incense, and prepared a curtain to cover the door of the cell, but within a moment, the whole cell was almost the same as Li Rong's bedroom. After everything was set up, Jinglan and Li Rong agreed on a daily visit time. Li Rong moved into the cell and everyone left.

The voices were still boiling, but in an instant, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan were left here. They were separated by a wall. Pei Wenxuan leaned against the wall and said, "Which one is done?"

No one answered. Pei Wenxuan was a little strange. Just about to ask again, he saw a hand with his red nails stretched out a piece of paper. Pei Wenxuan bent over and took the piece of paper. Seeing Li Rong's handwriting, it said: "Collect evidence."

"It's not important." Pei Wenxuan shook his head and looked up to the side. Although he couldn't see Li Rong, this action made him feel at ease, "Where is the man? Has your Highness been here?"

"Still please." Seeing that Pei Wenxuan didn't cover up, Li Rong knew that this place should be safe. She didn't write a note and simply said, "Is he such a good person to invite down the mountain?"

"It's not surprising." Pei Wenxuan tore the note to pieces, frowning while tearing it apart, and asked Li Rong, "How did you ask him in his previous life? I remember it was not so difficult for him to ask. "

Although Qin Lin also took Qiao in his previous life, it didn't feel too overwhelming. Now Li Chuan has invited him for four days. Why is there no movement?

When Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's question, she felt a little nervous. She couldn't help but say, "Is it right? Did we affect this in advance?"

It's like she had a spring banquet that provoked Yang Quan, and now they invite Qin Lin in advance...

"You won't be invited?" Li Rong couldn't help but doubt.

Pei Wenxuan hurriedly said, "Don't you crow's mouth."

"What if I can't get it?" Li Rong refused to listen to Pei Wenxuan's refusal at all, frowning. Pei Wenxuan saw that Li Rong didn't listen to him at all, so he could only say, "What can I do? Cold."

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan's cool words, she tapped her hand with a fan, and said leisurely, "If Qin Lin doesn't come, I will stuff you to the northwest. Either bring me the northwest, or I will Bury you there."

Li Rong's voice was very stable, but Pei Wenxuan could hear a bit of blood when he said "buried" at the end.

Pei Wenxuan felt a bit cold, but he couldn't be frightened by this kind of thing. He coughed slightly and said embarrassedly: "The main thing is that you mind. If you don't mind, I still have a way."

"such as?"

"After all, he is true..." Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong without saying anything, "What's the truth?"

As soon as Pei Wenxuan's conversation turned, he changed his name: "Miss Qin Er's brother."

"So?"

Li Rong fanned the fan with a smile in her voice, but Pei Wenxuan always heard some unspeakable coolness. Pei Wenxuan was a little flustered for some reason, but he still braced his scalp and said with difficulty: "I think I might, but I still have a bit of face?"

"Ha," Li Rong couldn't help but smile, "What kind of face can you have for a man who has been divorced? Are you shameless?"

"I was divorced, she must have been forced."

"Pei Wenxuan, I found that you have mediocre abilities, so it's particularly strong to deceive yourself and others." Li Rong couldn't listen anymore, and hit the ground with a fan. "She can learn from Chuaner's thoughts, what's the matter with you? Er? Seriously, if she didn't have the least bit of your dog's position on Chuan'er, she rushed to you to help her in the last life and dared to hide it from me. If she dared to respond with the least bit of response, I would abolish her!"

"Your logic is wrong," Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong's words, and said seriously, "She likes your Royal Highness. That's a later thing. I just kept filial piety when she retired from my marriage. At that time, she hadn't seen His Highness. I must be forced by my family to quit my marriage."

When Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's words, he almost vomited and bleeds. The key is when Qin Zhenzhen likes Li Chuan? She didn't like him at all, Pei Wenxuan! Retirement is completely voluntary, spontaneous, and self-explanatory!

She took a deep breath and restrained her emotions and said: "Pei Wenxuan, you should really appreciate you and I are now in jail."

"Otherwise?" Pei Wenxuan couldn't understand Li Rong's words. He was still thinking about Qin Lin's affairs, so he listened to Li Rongyin's grimace, "If you don't stop by this wooden fence, I'll just go over and catch you. eye!"

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

He felt that Li Rong who picked you up was extremely irritable. After a while, he cautiously said: "You are a princess. You should pay attention to your identity. Do it, it's not pretty."

"I don't look good when I do it," Li Rong sneered, "I just let other people do it."

"Girl's house," Pei Wenxuan said casually, "It's not good to fight and kill. You drink tea and put out the fire, let's continue talking."

"I have nothing to talk with you."

Li Rong stood up and said coldly: "I'm really talking about you."

"Why are you so tempered today? I thought the two of us were arguing enough on this topic," Pei Wenxuan sighed, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but say, "Did you interrogate people recently?"

Li Rong's movements stopped, and Pei Wenxuan knew that she didn't respond.

This is how Li Rong is used to, and it's easy to get lost when seeing blood.

This was the case in the last life, but at that time, although she and him were an alliance, they still had their own considerations. Li Rong couldn't believe him, and he wouldn't handle many things, so he couldn't help her either.

Fortunately, this life is different, at least now, the two of them are absolutely on the same line.

Pei Wenxuan was silent for a while, and he said slowly: "I'll do this in the future, don't touch it."

"No need." Li Rong said coldly, "It's none of your business."

"Can I ask you?" Pei Wenxuan sighed. He knew that Li Rong was angry, and said slowly, "We will live together in the future. Don't always be so angry. You go to the interrogation, and it's upset. Comfortable, when I come back, I will suffocate, isn't it me who suffers?"

"I beg you, my lord," Pei Wenxuan stretched out his voice, "give a way for the minister to survive. Let the minister do this for you, okay?"

Li Rong sneered, without answering, she walked to the bed and was about to lie down, listening to the voice of talking outside.

After a while, Li Chuan walked in with a person. Li Chuan was still wearing civilian clothes. He obviously did not come out of the palace. He hurriedly walked to the door of Li Rong's cell and said hurriedly: "Sister, I heard that you had an accident. I came back from Jiulu Mountain deliberately, are you okay?"

"Okay," Li Rong nodded, "As expected, don't worry. Has Qin Lin invited you?"

"Not yet," Li Chuan shook his head, and then he hurriedly thought of something, "but I'll be here soon."

Li Rong responded and listened to the footsteps next to her.

The person Li Chuan had brought was wearing a black cloak, with his facial features hidden under the cloak, and his face was invisible. As soon as she came in, Li Rong noticed her. Li Rong originally guessed the identity of this person, but seeing this person walking in front of Pei Wenxuan's cell, she knew it in her heart.

Pei Wenxuan should have guessed the identity of the visitor, but he didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

The person didn't speak, she just raised her plain white hand and took off the wide hat above, revealing her delicate and elegant features.

She was not born beautiful, but she made people extremely comfortable. She was a little peaceful in her indifference. The most rare thing was that she was born in the world, but she seemed to be detached from the world.

Pei Wenxuan looked at her quietly, as if unexpectedly, and seemed to be aware of it.

The woman smiled gently.

"It's been a long time," she said peacefully, "Big Brother Pei."

The author has something to say: Here comes the proposition! !

(Mo Shubai sits on the steps and smokes)

Pei Wenxuan: "Dabai, don't smoke, it's not good for your health."

Mo Shubai: "No, I'm under too much pressure."

Pei Wenxuan: "Why?"

Mo Shubai: "You are too dog, I look sad."

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

Mo Shubai: "Son, promise me, don't add fuel to your crematorium anymore, okay? Mommy kidneys are not good, and now my lungs are not good. Let me go..."
