Pei's mother made a big fuss with the Pei family over their property. The Pei family knew they were in the wrong but were helpless, and the situation was chaotic. Li Rong took the opportunity to come forward, uphold justice as Mrs. Pei Wenxuan, take over the inheritance, and decided to send someone to check the accounts the next day and move into the princess mansion. Although the second and third uncles were unwilling to do so, the Pei family's grandfather and others had no objections and had to acquiesce. Seeing that the plan went well, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan helped Pei's mother leave Pei's house.

Now that Tuoba Yan is a member of the princess palace, Li Rong wants to hand over the management of the inheritance affairs to him. Pei Wenxuan not only did not express any objection, but also expressed confidence in Li Rong's arrangement. He believed that he and Li Rong had become husband and wife and would never leave each other in the future. These words made Li Rong feel a little shy.

Just as the two were deeply in love, Xunchuan sent someone to bring the news: all the witnesses involved in the case had been silenced and their bodies were abandoned in the wilderness. No one was spared. The emperor was furious after hearing the news. He believed that these aristocratic families had become lawless. They knew that he had asked Li Rong to investigate personally, but they dared to commit crimes against others. Obviously, he did not take the inspector seriously at all.

Pei Wenxuan was not surprised by this, because once the Inspectorate was established, it would definitely pose a huge threat to the family, and they would do anything to obstruct it. In this battle, if Li Rong wins, the status of the Inspectorate will be stable; if it fails, it will be extremely difficult for the prince, emperor and even princess to build a team to compete with the aristocratic family, and Pei Wenxuan's future will be ruined.

In this way, the success or failure of the Inspectorate is not only related to whether the Qin family can overturn the verdict, but also has a profound impact on the fate of the Li family and the Han clan. The emperor was well aware of this, and as a precaution, he called Concubine Rou alone and asked if she could take over the Inspectorate if Li Rong failed. Concubine Rou was overjoyed when she heard the news, and promised that she and the Xiao family soldiers would fulfill their mission, and she was willing to become a sharp sword in his hands.

That night, Li Rong sent a message to Prince Li Chuan and decided to go to the Ministry of Punishment to meet with General Qin Lang in person. The prince arranged everything for Li Rong, waiting for Li Rong to show up with Pei Wenxuan and Xun Chuan. The group of people entered the prison directly, and finally saw the old man whose prison clothes were stained with blood, but who was still proud and proud.

Li Rong felt unbearable in her heart, and tried to remain calm on her face, and took the initiative to ask Qin Lang about the truth about the defeat. Qin Lang truthfully told the truth that before the war, the rations of three thousand people were maliciously mixed with sand. Even when the war started, there were still many soldiers due to injuries and hunger, and there were less than two thousand who could fight, making it almost impossible to compete with the enemy.

During this period, Li Chuan noticed that Xun Chuan was looking abnormal and had doubts about her. After exiting the gate of the Criminal Department, Li Rong ordered Xun Chuan to immediately dispatch manpower to transfer the Qin family from the Criminal Department as soon as possible. Xun Chuan spoke respectfully, turned around, led the horse, and galloped into the night. Li Chuan just wanted to ask Xun Chuan about his identity, but Li Rong interrupted him directly and urged him to return to the palace quickly.

Later, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan walked side by side, recalling every detail of their previous life, with mixed feelings in their hearts. After some struggle, Li Rong decided to let Pei Wenxuan hold the inspector's and princess's tokens and copy the grain and grass records of all county government officials' military pay transiting along the route that the military pay was transported to Huangping Town. Pei Wenxuan accepted the task without hesitation. Although he knew that the road ahead was full of dangers, he still looked calm, with his sleeves wide open, and his figure gradually disappeared into the night where thousands of lights and stars intertwined.

The next day, Li Rong found Xunchuan alone, handed her a list, and told her: "I may be trapped in the palace. There are two things you need to do. First, you must protect the Qin family and never Anyone is allowed to take them away from the princess's mansion; secondly, you go to Shangguan Ya in person, select suitable candidates from this list, and obtain witness statements about the embezzlement of military pay in Huangping County. "

Su Rongqing knew that the Qin family case was very involved and involved many aristocratic families. He was worried that Li Rong would be in danger if he continued to pursue the case, so he led the criminal department to surround the princess mansion, hoping that Li Rong could hand over the Qin family. At this moment, time seemed to have no boundaries, and the past and present life blended together, making Li Rong's mind reminisce about the sweet scene between the two of them in the past, and she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Li Rong did not understand Su Rongqing's good intentions, but misunderstood that he was threatening her. She originally thought that she and Su Rongqing were from the same family, but now it seems that they are completely different worlds. One day, Su Rongqing will become the second Yang Ye. Even though he was a passionate young man, he will finally abandon conscience, morality and his own life for the prosperity of the family. Life. Li Rong firmly stated that she would never sit back and watch the Qin family decline due to party strife. If the Su family suffered injustice in the future, she would also lend a helping hand without hesitation.

Because Li Rong broke into the Ministry of Justice without authorization and took away the Qin family, the aristocratic families used this as an excuse to report to the emperor and demand severe punishment for the princess. Li Rong implored the emperor to give more time to find out the truth in the court, and argued with Xie Lanqing, the Minister of Punishment. In the end, she asked herself to be punished for thirty days and chanted sutras in Beiyan Pagoda for one month in exchange for the emperor giving her another twenty days to investigate the Qin family case. If there is no progress within twenty days, I am willing to be expelled from Huajing, return to the fiefdom, and never enter the capital. Seeing Li Rong's firm attitude, the emperor agreed to her request.

At the same time, after Pei Wenxuan led his people out of the city, he was chased to the edge of the cliff by the killer sent by Shangguan Xu. In a fierce battle, Pei Wenxuan gradually fell behind, and was finally knocked off the cliff by the killer. His life or death was uncertain. Li Rong didn't know yet and was going to Beiyan Pagoda, and told Jinglan to guard the princess mansion and report to her immediately if there was any news about the prince-in-law.
