In front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Pei Wen made a poignant declaration without any cover-up. He impassionedly denounced the Yang family for deceiving the emperor, being arrogant and rude, and colluding with the enemy's country without the king's law. When the leading ministers retorted and took turns to accuse Pei Wenxuan, he was still fearless and still fought against the crowd with his own strength, causing the entire court to fall into silence.

The emperor wanted to take control of it at first, but seeing that Pei Wenxuan was really powerful, he simply sat down and watched the show until other courtiers had no objections. As a result, the emperor took advantage of the situation and handed over Yang's case to Li Rong as the presiding judge. He appointed Pei Wenxuan as the supervisory censor, responsible for assisting from the side. In addition, he specially appointed Su Rongqing, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, to supervise the case.

Since the emperor was thinking of Yang's meritorious service, he would not transfer him to prison for the time being and kept him under house arrest. Therefore, Li Rong first asked Su Rongqing for help and transferred some account books from the Ministry of War. Pei Wenxuan and Su Rongqing were not in the court, and their conversation was less polite and more provocative. Su Rongqing deliberately mentioned that he had a child relationship in his early years. Pei Wenxuan avoided answering and warned him not to mention the princess in the future, so as not to lose her. Proportionate.

Li Rong was in a calm mood, but Pei Wenxuan was extremely ups and downs. Riding in the same carriage with her, he was still bitter and jealous because Su Rongqing coveted the princess. But even so, Li Rong still didn't seem to want to have an in-depth conversation. Instead, the topic suddenly changed and she mentioned a bank boss "Tuoba Yan" whom she had met before.

This person traveled between the northwest and Huajing all year round. His property spread across several countries. He was doing business on the surface, but actually made a living by laundering money. Therefore, the nobles of Huajing had many contacts with him. Li Rong bluntly said that Tuoba Yan was able to survive in various countries because he was not only good at management, but most importantly, he had the account book as a life-saving talisman. Only by finding the account book could he have a reason to continue to detain the Yang family.

The prince sent his secret guard Feng Ming to bring invitations and trade letters to Li Rong, revealing that Tuoba Yan would hold a private party every month and invite wealthy businessmen from all over the world. At that time, she and Pei Wenxuan would pretend to be a wealthy businessman and his wife to get close to Tuoba Yan and steal money. Ledger. To ensure Li Rong's safety, Fengming decided to disguise herself as a maid and accompany her. Li Rong nodded in response.

Because Li Rong's carriage was very comfortable, and because Pei Wenxuan had not slept all night, he was too sleepy to open his eyes. No matter how Li Rong called him, there was no response. Li Rong knew very well that Pei Wenxuan had a problem with being lazy in bed. In her previous life, she tried to wake him up with a kiss, so she deliberately mentioned the matter again. Sure enough, Pei Wenxuan immediately woke up and sat upright.

On the other side, Yang Wan heard that Li Rong and the others had begun investigating the Yang family, and immediately sent people to the border to deliver a message, and went to Hanqiu Palace in person to ask for an audience with Sheng Yan. The emperor disappeared behind closed doors. Yang Wan simply knelt outside the palace and shouted loudly that if he didn't see him for a day, she would kneel for a whole day, insisting on forcing the emperor to show up in this way.

In a blink of an eye, it was already dark, and the carriage arrived outside the gate of Tuoba Yan Courtyard. Li Rong followed Pei Wenxuan. The two of them took the post and led Feng Ming, who was pretending to be a servant. The doorman checked the post and entered the courtyard smoothly. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw a lot of people around, with different accents and clothes, and even Persian dancers performing on the stage. In such a sexy and sexy place, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan walked upright, looking very unsociable, and Li Rong had to lean against Pei Wenxuan. Wen Xuan smiled coquettishly and tried his best to blend into the atmosphere.

It was precisely because Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan looked quite young that Tuoba Yan became suspicious of their identities. Fortunately, the two of them cooperated tacitly and were well prepared, quickly dispelling each other's doubts. During the dinner, Pei Wenxuan used the excuse of admiring flowers to lure Tuoba Yan to take him to the backyard to watch. Li Rong pretended to have abdominal pain and sneaked into other courtyards to steal the account books.

However, on the way back, Li Rong exposed her identity and ran all the way to avoid the pursuers. As a result, she was pulled into the room by Su Rongqing at the corner. The situation was critical, so Su Rongqing didn't bother to explain and arranged for Li Rong to change into a dancer's costume. However, she was amazed by her outfit. In the process of evading pursuit, the two of them inevitably came into close physical contact.

On the other hand, Pei Wenxuan and Tuoba Yan were very drunk. When they saw that he was unconscious, they forced their bodies to walk out. When they saw the backs of Su Rongqing and Li Rong, they were so angry that they rushed over to hold him back. Li Rong declared his sovereignty and took Li Rong away from Tuoba Yan Courtyard as a quasi-consort.

At this moment, Li Rong still had Su Rongqing's words in his mind. He asked Li Rong if he could marry him if she was not bound by power. However, Pei Wenxuan only felt uncomfortable in his stomach, especially when he saw Li Rong wearing a revealing dancer's outfit, and when he thought about her relationship with Su Rongqing, he looked even more displeased. Li Rong took Pei Wenxuan to watch the fireworks on the street. Their relationship quickly heated up, and Pei Wenxuan kissed Li Rong in a daze. Facing Pei Wenxuan's direct confession, Li Rong was shaken. The two agreed that if they were really sincere, Pei Wenxuan would sacrifice his life.

At night, the maid Mei Xiang brought food to Yang Wan, containing a note with the words "Tuoba Yan cannot stay". Yang Wan was furious when she heard that Pei Wenxuan had stolen Tuoba Yan's account book. However, considering that he and the eldest princess were on the same side, if he did it rashly, it would definitely cause trouble, so she ordered someone to contact the housekeeper Wang Shun, but Tuoba Yan died. , can he use his hands to frame Pei Wenxuan.
