Chapter 39 The Missing Gongsun Sisters
Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian were both Confucian scholars and scholars, and they didn't know how powerful this sword was.
Pei Min is an expert, and he could see that the other party had good sword skills: in the dark night, the black shadow could draw his sword accurately and freely, and it could not be done without years of hard practice. What's more, listening to the voice and defending his position, relying on the light of his light to split his lantern into two sections, and his strength was obviously already in the ranks of masters. It should not be too easy for such a person to make a living. Pei Min doesn't believe that he would be a thief for no reason.
Yuan Luqian didn't understand very well, but he believed Pei Min's judgment and said, "Then let's see what is missing."
Pei Min was worried that the shadow had not escaped from Yuan's mansion, so he patted his cheeks to make himself more awake, and investigated the room and houses with Yuan Luqian. What was strange was that every uninhabited room had signs of invasion, and the locks had pried marks, but there was no trace of searching inside. Some rooms were vacant for a long time, and the ash had accumulated no slightest wipe.
Pei Min, Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian looked at each other, all confused.
If you are seeking money and things, since the door has been opened, why don’t you even search? If you don’t seek money or things, why should you sneak into the mansion in the middle of the night to unlock the lock?
Yan Gaoqing looked at Pei Min and said, "Can it be Li Wuyi's remnant who wants to take revenge?"
Pei Min shook his head slightly and denied: "If it were Li Wuyi's remnants, I would not have run so fast when I saw me just now. Besides, if I really came to seek revenge, the target was me. Even if it was a disaster to Brother Yuan, it would be no reason to pry the door one by one!"
The three of them thought for a while, but they didn't know what the reason was.
So he stopped thinking about it. Pei Min was worried that the shadow would come again and invited them to sleep together, and Ye Yu faced the bed.
The ancients' sleep and talked with one's knees was a fashion, and it was a witness to the deep friendship between the two sides. They had a lot of conversation tonight and were unwilling to stop. They got up and slept in Yuan Luqian's master's bedroom.
It's safe and sound at night.
Yuan Luqian went to the college early. Although he decided to take office with Yan Gaoqing, he still planned to participate in this year's trial. He wanted to try his many years of hard work and would only set off next year.
Yan Gaoqing had to play for a few more days, so Pei Min took care of him.
There are no need for two scholars and scholars to serve each other, but this book lasts only a morning.
Yan Gaoqing looked very seriously, but Pei Min was a little distracted and still thought about what happened yesterday: she was a little regretful and was too happy to be too happy to be too angry, otherwise she would have to capture her and ask for the reason.
Seeing the old butler passing by the door, Pei Min stopped him and said, "Old Yuan, is there anything missing now?"
Mr. Yuan stayed in Yuan’s mansion for fifty years. Not to mention Yuan Luqian, even Yuan Luqian’s father was raised by him. Yuan Luqian, the master of Yuan’s mansion, was far less familiar with Mr. Yuan’s master.
Today, when Mr. Yuan woke up, Pei Min told him about what happened last night and asked him to see if there were fewer things and wanted to investigate the reasons clearly.
Old Yuan shook his head and said, "There are no things that are valuable, and there are no signs of turning over the money. I really don't know what the thief wants to find. The master and his wife are honest and have no family treasures worth remembering." He himself was also confused.
Pei Min has always been quick-witted and does not think that this matter is an accident. After thinking about it, he feels that he cannot let it go: if it is Yuan Luqian and Yan Gaoqing's affairs, he is obliged to share their worries as a friend, and if it is because of him, he will not be able to implicate the two of them.
"Brother Yan, I'll go out for a walk." Pei Min greeted Yan Gaoqing.
Yan Gaoqing knew that Pei Min was going to investigate last night's incident, and knew that he was very good at it, so he just said, "Be careful!"
Pei Min did not go to find Xue Na. As the governor of Youzhou, Xue Na held an important position and troubled him with a little bit of nothing. He was a little too much. He first came to Jicheng Prefecture. Now most people in Jicheng know that Pei Min helped Xue Na capture Li Wuyi and had a close relationship with Xue Na. Although he was a white man without an official position, he had to be received by the prefect himself.
Pei Min directly explained the purpose of the situation and wanted to know whether this situation was only the only one or the regional scope. If it was the latter, it was just an accident, and he was too concerned; if only the Yuan Mansion family encountered this situation, they would have some intentions.
The prefect named Zhang is a chubby middle-aged man. He has a fat head and big ears and looks like a corrupt official. In fact, his official style is good and he has done a lot of things that benefit the people.
Zhang said: "I haven't received any news about what Mr. Pei said. I asked the county magistrate to come. He was responsible for the city's security. I might know more in detail." He asked someone to call the county magistrate and asked someone to have a cup of yogurt for Pei Min.
Pei Min held the yogurt and smelled the strange smell of milk. He really missed the tea from later generations. He developed the habit of drinking tea in later generations. When he came to the Tang Dynasty, he found that tea was always served on TV and other things were deceptive. In this era when he was in, the popularity of tea was far less than that of milk, especially in the northern part of Youzhou. His daily drinks were mainly dairy products. There were very few people selling tea on the market, and occasionally some were priced and extremely expensive.
He specifically learned that at present, only the Chinese people in the Jiangnan region and people from Sichuan who are popular in drinking tea. They call it tea tasting. As for other places, this habit has not yet been spread. Because before that, tea was a kind of medicine, and drinking tea all day long would be regarded as a diseased seedling.
Therefore, he has never tasted what the tea from the Tang Dynasty tastes like.
Pei Min didn't like sweets very much, so she took a few sips of yogurt and placed them next to Yi. After waiting for a while, the county magistrate hurried over.
Zhang said: "Mr. Wu County Wei, this is Mr. Pei, he wants to ask you something."
County Magistrate Wu Xuan was very excited. He knew he was impatient. He gave Zhang a gift, and then said without waiting for Pei Min to speak: "Young Master is here for the pair of Gongsun sisters who live in Sanying Inn. If the young master doesn't come today, I still want to come to find the young master to ask about it?"
"Hmm?" Pei Min was confused and said, "What is the county magistrate? Sister Gongsun really knows me, what happened to them?" Thinking of the gentle Gongsun You and the lively Gongsun Xi, they couldn't help but worry about being alone in other places.
Wu Xuan said in surprise: "Young Master didn't come for them? What's that for?"
Pei Min told everything about last night, and Wu Xuan nodded: "I understand. So far, I have not received any similar reports. Looking back, I asked the patrol that the Yuan Mansion was responsible for the night, and asked them to investigate the situation. If there is any news, I will immediately give the young master a reply."
Pei Min thanked her and asked about the situation of the Gongsun sisters.
