i want to marry a princess

On the second day of the imperial examination, Ren Rong, Minister of Guanglu Temple, and Wang Guang, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, investigated the case of fraud and corruption in the imperial examination under the imperial decree of His Majesty.

Liu Chengyi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, has been staying in a small, dark and damp cell in Dali Temple since he was taken into custody by Guo Chan yesterday. The ground is not working.

Finally, the door of the prison opened, and Ren Rong walked in first. Liu Chengyi was overjoyed when he saw Ren Rong. At the beginning, Ren Rong had some kind of friendship with him. If Ren Rong presided over his interrogation, maybe he could still There is some accommodation.

And when Liu Chengyi saw Wang Guang behind Ren Rong, his expression instantly became sad.The incident between Ren Rong and Wang Guang was known to everyone in the entire court. If the emperor put these two together, wouldn't it mean that he would not leave him any way out?

Ren Rong stood in front of Liu Chengyi's cell and said, "Brother Chengyi, don't come here without any harm."

"Don't come here without any problems." Liu Chengyi's face was ashamed at this time, which was extremely embarrassing compared to the decency of the two of them in official robes.

Wang Guang scolded Ren Rong in his heart. At this moment, Ren Rong still didn't forget to get close to the prisoner, he was indeed a sinister person.

"Master Liu, the emperor sent someone to raid the Shangshu Mansion yesterday, and the whole family was also imprisoned. As for the subordinates who were imprisoned with Lord Liu yesterday, they confessed to their participation in the imperial examination fraud. Do you have something to say?" Wang Guangping hated corrupt officials the most, and if the officials were not clean, then there would be a way for the people to survive.

Liu Chengyi was shocked when he heard that the mansion was ransacked and his family members were imprisoned, but if he pleaded guilty, he would be charged with beheading. It is abhorrent that the people below dare to do such a treasonable thing without permission! But Liu did not participate in the fraud, and I hope that the two colleagues will find out the truth because they are in the same court, and return Liu's innocence."

Ren Rong looked at Liu Chengyi who was in a state of embarrassment at this time, this was an inadvertent move, and there was no redemption, knowing that what the current emperor wants most is to take charge of the government, and the imperial examination is the most important thing, yet he dared to offend Ni Lin, If the emperor doesn't take him to the knife, he will take the knife on whoever.

Wang can see that Liu Cheng snorted coldly with a face of a hypocritical villain, and said: "I am afraid that I will let Mr. Liu down. Your evidence of fraud in the imperial examination is convincing. I just wait for the emperor to issue it. I am here today just to let Mr. Liu know." Think about it, are there other accomplices involved in this matter?"

Liu Cheng looked at Ren Rong in disbelief, as if seeking proof.

Ren Rong said: "My lord Wang's words are true. It's good to persuade Brother Cheng to cooperate with me, and it will save me some trouble." The incident happened suddenly, and the emperor kept the matter secret beforehand. He and Wang Guang have all the witnesses and material evidence, and the two of them are just cooperating to go through a process.

Liu Chengyi didn't really get scared until this time, he thought that everything he did was done without showing any traces, and it had always been like this all the time, so it happened that he suffered from this.

"Brother Ren, I treated you well in the past, you have to help me!" Liu Chengyi ignored Wang Guang, and looked at Ren Rong pleadingly.

"Brother Chengyi, it's not that I don't help you, but that you should never have committed such a serious crime. The most important thing now is that brother Chengyi thinks about it, is there anyone else involved? If brother Chengyi With a sincere attitude, His Majesty may be grateful for your achievements in the past, but you may not be able to forgive me." Ren Rong said it sincerely, but in fact he really wanted to hear a few names from Liu Chengyi.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyi looked at Wang Guang, and it was rare that Wang Guang didn't dismantle Ren Rong, so he nodded slightly.

Now that Liu Chengyi was in trouble, Ren Rong saw the hesitation in his heart, and said: "Brother Chengyi, why not think about it carefully, and answer it later in the interrogation."

After finishing speaking, he left the prison first, Wang Guang looked at Liu Chengyi and said, "I hope Mr. Liu will seriously consider it." Then he caught up with Ren Rong.

Wang Guang sarcastically said: "Master Ren, before Master Liu asked you for help without hesitation, he thought you were his accomplice."

The expression on Ren Rong's face did not change at all because of Wang Guang's words, but he just said: "Master Wang, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. A certain Ren would never dare to cheat in the imperial examination. Someone called for help, but he was in a panic."

Wang Guang was often bleed internally by Ren Rong's hypocritical appearance, and at this moment he really wanted to tear off what kind of black heart was hidden under Ren Rong's face.

"Master Wang, if there is nothing wrong, let Ren go and read the testimony of the people detained yesterday."

Ren Rong left without waiting for Wang Guang's reply. He believed that people from Dali Temple would prepare two copies of the dossier this time, one for him and one for Wang Guang.

Ren Rong walked into the temporarily prepared office, and suddenly remembered that there was another person in this trial, General Ling from the General's Mansion.

Seeing Ling Qi sitting at the table looking at something seriously, Ren Rong approached and said, "Little General Ling, are you looking at the file?"

Ling Qi raised his head when he heard the sound, saw that it was Ren Rong, and quickly stood up, unconsciously showing some respect.

"Master Ren, the younger generation is looking at this file. Because it is the first time to handle a case, there are still many places that need to be consulted by Mr. Ren."

"Little General Ling is really humble. The young general is young, but his ability is obvious to all." Ren Rong was surprised that according to the status of the general's residence, Ling Qi would not treat him like this, presumably he was humble and polite.

"Your Majesty has been an official for many years, and he has handled countless cases. His Majesty regards it highly. It is only right for juniors to ask you for advice."

Ling Qi tried his best to flatter his future father-in-law, and Ren Rong listened pleasingly, thinking that Ling Qi was a talented person.

After the two talked for a while, they each went to look at the files. Ren Rong was seeing the testimony of several of Liu Chengyi's subordinates when he suddenly heard Ling Qi ask: "Master Ren, I heard that the second lady in the house was injured a few days ago. I don't know if she is better now." gone?"

In recent days, Ren Rong has heard a lot of greetings like this, and he replied kindly: "Now the wound has healed a lot, and there is no serious problem. General Xie Ling is concerned."

Ling Qi felt relieved when he heard it, and the people he sent to the eldest princess's mansion did not bring back any information, so he was always worried.

"This junior has some good medicines for wounds, as well as fragrant condensate that can remove scars. If Mr. Ren doesn't mind, why don't you give them to the second lady in the house." Ling Qi asked the attendant to take the prepared things to Ren Rong In front of him, this was what his grandfather ordered him to prepare before going out today, and he specially asked him to hand it over to Ren Rong.

Ren Rong put down the file in his hand and looked at it thoughtfully.The General's Mansion has been practicing martial arts for generations, so the gold sore medicine used is naturally excellent, but he has heard of this incense gel, a bottle of thousands of gold, this Ling Qi is so generous.But Ren's mansion and General's mansion have never had any contact, Ling Qi's family background is good and he is favored by the emperor, he has a bright future, so there is no need to please himself.

Ren Rong can only imagine that Ling Qi gave these things to the second girl through his hand, but the second girl has rarely attended gatherings in the capital since the death of Xuanping Hou Shizi, and occasionally went out with Danyang princess. Ling Qi is often in the army, so why did he know the second girl.

Seeing Ren Rong's silence, Ling Qi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. It would be bad if Ren Rong felt that he and Ren Suyi were giving and receiving privately.

Ren Rong didn't accept the things directly, but asked, "Little General Ling knows my second girl?"

Ling Qi replied truthfully: "I met you twice by chance."

Hearing the answer, Ren Rong knew what was in his mind, asked the people to take the things, and then said with a smile: "Little General Ling has good intentions, so Ren will be disrespectful, and after the second girl recovers from her injury, I will personally bring her to the door to express my thanks."

Seeing that Ren Rong accepted it, Ling Qi was happy, and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, Second Miss is seriously injured, even if she recovers, she needs to be raised well, don't be tired."

"Little General Ling treats you so kindly, why don't you let me treat you to a meal at the nearby Yipinlou?" Ling Qi is a good fighter in battle, but he is still confused about the marriage. Obviously Ling Qi is right. The second girl is interested, if it is the general's mansion, it would be a good place to go.

Ling Qi wanted to marry Ren Suyi wholeheartedly, Ren Rong invited him, and naturally he would not miss the opportunity to please his future father-in-law and immediately agreed.

After leaving the public, Ren Rong and Ling Qi left Dali Temple together, Wang Guang happened to see that they were going to Yipinlou, and secretly scolded Ren Rong for being a treacherous and cunning man, busy trying to win people's hearts.

This time Ren Rong was really wronged, he just wanted to investigate Ling Qi who might become his future son-in-law, but he didn't expect to be splashed with dirty water by Wang Guang.

But the most innocent should belong to Liu Chengyi in the prison, because Wang Guang decided to stimulate Liu Chengyi so that he could recruit accomplices as soon as possible, so that he could turn to the emperor.

After having dinner with Ren Rong at Yipin, Ling Qi went back to the General's Mansion and greeted his grandfather as usual.

Old General Ling saw someone and asked, "You're back, can I have dinner?"

Ling Qi said: "Back to grandfather, my son is having dinner with Mr. Ren today."

Old General Ling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Did you send the things out according to my order?"

"Exactly, Lord Ren invited me to the restaurant for dinner after collecting the things." Ling Qi also understood what his grandfather meant at this time, Lord Ren is a smart person, and after thinking about it, he already understood that he intends to marry Ren Suyi.

"Grandfather, then I will send someone to the Renfu to propose marriage?" Thinking of marrying Ren Suyi, Ling Qi couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Old General Ling thought of the eldest princess' refusal last time, and joked, "I'm really anxious to marry a wife!"

Ling Qi was shy for a moment and didn't speak.

Seeing his grandson like this, Old General Ling sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "No hurry, you are now leading the order to handle the case. I think the emperor must have made arrangements for this case, and there will be a result soon. Otherwise, how could it be so? Quickly take him down on the first day of the test. I think it's better to wait for the case to be settled, and I will personally enter the palace and ask the emperor to order a marriage, which is also decent."

Ling Qi forgot that he was still on duty at this time, and after hearing what Old General Ling said, he felt that it was so appropriate, so he agreed.
