"Master Pei, when you buried these hundred letters, did you ever think that this was the life of 500,000 soldiers?"

Pei Xingsheng looked at the gazes cast around him, sweating profusely, his eyes dodging everywhere, but he was directly pushed out by someone behind him.

Pei Xingsheng excused himself in a panic: "What are you looking at the old man? You don't believe the princess's nonsense, do you?"

"Then why don't you explain why these twists and turns are buried in the treasure room in your western suburbs?"

"You...... What nonsense?! ”

Ming Ruonan took out a candlestick from his sleeve and threw it directly at Pei Xingsheng's feet: "Lord Pei, take a look, is it familiar?" ”

Pei Xingsheng's face changed instantly, of course he knew this candlestick, and he thought that he had found a lot of craftsmen to make a candlestick that met the requirements, he stared at this candlestick with round eyes, and immediately felt cold in his heart.

"The adults who used Luo Shuangxi's design to catch the palace, have you always been curious about where the palace hid Luo Shuangxi?" Ming Ruonan glanced at Liu Quan, and the old man hurriedly avoided her eyes, "This is thanks to Lord Pei, he has done a really good job in this treasure room, not to mention you, this palace also followed for several days before discovering this place." ”

Ming Ruonan approached Pei Xingsheng, frightened the privy envoy and retreated again and again.

"To say that Master Pei's treasure room is really an eye-opener for this palace! Tens of thousands of people in our Cold Ice Sect have worked hard for many years to do business, and they can't compare to Master Pei's mountains of gold and silver, and rare treasures! ”

Everyone looked at Pei Xingsheng's eyes and instantly became disgusted.

This Pei Xingsheng rose all the way from the local garrison to the privy envoy and became one of the most powerful people in the whole Great Xuan. should have best understood the hardships of the low-level soldiers and the hardships of the border soldiers, but he regarded all of these as his own smelting pools for greedy ink. With the blood of the soldiers, it turned into his own treasury.

Now, the ministers think about Pei Xingsheng's "honest and strict" and "clean breeze on his sleeves", which is really a joke.

"You're spewing blood!" Pei Xingsheng pointed at Ming Ruonan and jumped to his feet, "Who knows if you hid something in the secret room of Laoshizi to blame the old man!" ”

Ming Ruonan sneered: "Master Pei said that he was joking, this palace is not so bold as to hand over all the hard-earned money that the Cold Ice Sect has earned over the years to the treasury. After all, in this war in the southwest, our Cold Ice Sect really threw a lot of money on the border army, and there is not much money left. Hey, I can't count on the people in the capital, so I can only make up the military salaries of the people in the southwest county. Otherwise, at this time, the army of the Nanyuan Kingdom would have already attacked the Holy Peace Gate. ”

Everyone present was trembling when they heard this, although everyone knew that this war affected Daxuan Guoben, but when this matter really endangered themselves, they were all afraid. Everyone in the capital has been pampered for decades, and the last time they encountered something related to their own net worth and life, it was King Kang's rebellion. At this time, if the Geshan Pass is really broken, then where is there anyone who will let you live for a while longer in order to wait for you to choose, and there will be no princess who will sacrifice her life for you to block the knife and protect you.

Ming Ruonan hooked the corners of her lips, took out a bamboo tube from her cuffs, and shook it in front of Pei Xingsheng: "Master Pei thinks I can find these folds, but I can't find your account book?" ”

Pei Xingsheng jumped like thunder: "The princess has a sharp mouth, and the black can also be said to be white." When did the old man ever have an account book? The old man has been working hard for Daxuan for many years, when will he ......"

"On the fifth day of March in the sixteenth year, five thousand taels were collected from the defense of Zhuzhou, and on the eighth day of the seventh month, a pair of luminous cups were collected from the general army of Yucheng, and eight hundred taels of silver coins...... On June 20 of the seventeenth year, he received three thousand taels of silver and a night pearl...... Master Pei, do you still need me to continue reading? ”

Every time Pei Xingsheng heard a sentence, his face turned pale. Some of the people present were also panicked, they were afraid that if Ming Ruonan continued to read it, they would hear their name.

The crown princess glanced at a few people who were shivering, and closed the ledger with a sneer. This is a message to them: I will save your face.

Mrs. Li found that the situation was getting more and more out of control, so she came out to reconcile: "Can the crown princess hand over this evidence to the old minister for safekeeping?" ”

"Lord Taifu is the chief judge, and this account book naturally has to be handed over to Lord Taifu for half, but the other half, the palace has to stay to save his life." Ming Ruonan looked at Mrs. Li with a smile, and there was an invisible game in her eyes.

Mrs. Li looked at the three divisions who were interrogated together, Jing Zhaoyin curled up in his chair and did not dare to raise his head, and the Imperial Doctor and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at each other, and asked him for help.

He sighed helplessly: "Is the source of the crown princess's account book reliable?" ”

"Mr. Pei's bookkeeper wrote it down, and it is naturally reliable."

Ming Ruonan looked at Pei Xingsheng with a smile, but when she saw that she was a first-class privy envoy, she suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed to the crown princess: "Crown princess! The old minister knows that the southwest army is defeated, and you are not angry, but you will not stage such a big drama and cause the old minister to die, right? ”

Ming Ruonan sneered, he was worthy of being an old fox, and he could still beat him back at this time.

"Master Pei is saying that this palace has wronged you?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, you will have a complete set of evidence, interlocking, and do it so thoroughly, even if the old minister is wronged, there is nowhere to go!"

Feng Yao spat angrily: "Dog thief!" I have done these bad things, and I have to use such means to escape! ”

Ming Ruonan squatted on the ground and unhurriedly helped Feng Yao untie the rope: "Ladies and gentlemen, we haven't committed any crimes, so I'll let him move these unbearable things down first." ”

"But it's all evidence."

"Just leave the others, after all, in Pei Da's mouth, no amount of evidence is in vain. These folds, the palace plans to send to the southwest, burned, so that you can beg the soldiers to look at it. ”

"Now that the crown princess has confessed to this crime, this little boy is naturally innocent."

Ming Ruonan looked at Yuan Lu who said this gratefully.

"Young master, I'm not leaving!"

Ming Ruonan helped Feng Yao tidy up his clothes, and said in a low voice: "Listen to the order." ”

Feng Yao nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Take these folds and go to Lu Beibei. Tell him...... This young master will definitely be able to get out of the way. ”

Feng Yao opened his mouth, and just as he wanted to say more, he saw the prince walking towards them.

Ming Ruonan frowned and turned around, wanting to shake his head and ask the prince not to come. But Yuan Jing didn't seem to see it, took off his robe and put it on for Mi'er, did all this, and silently turned around and sat back on the chair.

At this moment, Ming Ruonan's nose was a little sour. Seeing Mi'er leave with the box, she got up again, flicked her sleeves, and walked towards Pei Xingsheng step by step.

"Master Pei just said that this palace slandered you?"

"The old minister doesn't dare, even if the old minister wants to avenge his grievances, he ......"

Ming Ruonan suddenly slapped out a slap of his hand, and Pei Xingsheng fell to the ground and vomited blood: "Master Pei has also been in the army for many years, and he has enjoyed happiness in the past few years, but he can't even hide from a palm?" ”

Pei Xingsheng coughed for a long time before he staggered to his feet.

"Ming Ruonan! You deceive people too much! ”

Ming Ruonan rolled up his sleeves unhurriedly: "This palace had expected that Master Pei would quibble, but I didn't expect that there would be such a brazen sophistry. It doesn't matter, since everyone has been lynched, it is better to ......"

Ming Ruonan raised his eyes, and the fierceness in his eyes frightened Pei Xingsheng to run away, and the ministers were also stunned in place, the incident happened so suddenly, no one realized what happened in the palace, only to see Ming Ruonan suddenly jumped up and slapped Pei Xingsheng with a palm: "It's better for this palace to get rid of you rice moth for Daxuan today!" ”
