Chapter 39: The Missing Sisters of Gongsun
Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian are both Confucian scholars, and they don't know how powerful this knife is. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Pei Min is an insider, and he can see at a glance that the other party's knife skills are good: in the dark night, the black shadow can accurately and freely draw the knife back into the sheath, and this alone cannot be done without years of hard practice. What's more, listening to the argument, relying on a little bit of afterglow, he split his lantern into two sections, and his strength has obviously entered the ranks of masters. This kind of character, if you want to eat with a mouth, don't be too easy, Pei Min doesn't believe that he will be a thief for no reason.
Yuan Luqian didn't understand it, but he also believed Pei Min's judgment and said, "Then let's see what's missing." ”
Pei Min was worried that the black shadow had not escaped from Yuan's mansion, so he slapped his cheek sharply to make himself sober, and investigated the rooms and houses with Yuan Luqian one by one. Strangely, every uninhabited room showed signs of invasion, and the locks were notched by prying, but there was no trace of looting inside. Some rooms have been vacant for a long time, accumulating a layer of dust, and the ash has not been wiped in the slightest.
Pei Min, Yan Gaoqing, and Yuan Luqian looked at each other, all confused.
If you are looking for money, since the door has been opened, why don't you even search, not for money, not for things, why sneak into the house in the middle of the night to unlock and enter?
Yan Gaoqing looked at Pei Min and said, "Could it be Li Wuyi's remnants who want to take revenge?" ”
Pei Min shook his head slightly and denied: "If it was really Li Wuyi's remnants who came to take revenge and seek revenge, I wouldn't have run so fast when I saw me just now." What's more, if you really come to seek revenge, the target is also me, even if it hurts Brother Yuan, there is no reason to pry the doors one by one! ”
The three of them pondered for a while, but they didn't know why.
simply didn't think about it, Pei Min was worried that the black shadow would come again, so he invited them to sleep together, and the night rain was on the bed.
It is a fashion for the ancients to fall asleep and talk on their knees, which is a testimony to the deep friendship between the two sides, and they did not want to stop talking happily tonight, and slept together in Yuan Luqian's master bedroom.
The night was uneventful.
Yuan Luqian went to school at the college early in the morning, although he decided to take office as an official with Yan Gaoqing, he still planned to participate in this year's exam, and wanted to try his achievements in years of hard study, and he would only leave next year.
Yan Gaoqing wanted to play for a few more days, so Pei Min took care of it.
Two scribes and scholars need to serve each other, and one book per person is one morning.
Yan Gaoqing looked very seriously, but Pei Min was a little distracted, still thinking about yesterday's events: I regret it a little, I was too happy to drink high, otherwise I would have to catch it and ask the reason.
Seeing the old housekeeper passing by the door, Pei Min stopped him and said, "Old Yuan, did you find anything missing?" ”
Yuan Lao has been in the Yuan Mansion for fifty years, don't say that it is Yuan Luqian, even Yuan Luqian's father was brought up by him, and Yuan Luqian, the master, is far less than Yuan Lao understands everything in the Yuan Mansion.
Early this morning, Yuan Lao woke up, and Pei Min told him about last night, asking him to see if there was anything missing, and wanted to investigate the reason.
Yuan Lao shook his head and said: "There is nothing to find, there are no less valuable objects, and there is no movement to turn over the worthless ones." I really don't know what the thief is looking for, the old lady is an honest official, and there is no family heirloom worth remembering...... "He himself was confused.
Pei Min has always been shrewd, he doesn't think this matter is an accident, and after thinking about it, he feels that he can't let it go: if it is the matter of Yuan Luqian and Yan Gaoqing, he has the obligation to share their worries as a friend, and if it is because of him, he can't implicate the two.
"Brother Yan, I'll go out for a ......" Pei Min said hello to Yan Gaoqing.
Yan Gaoqing knew that Pei Min was going to investigate last night's incident, and knew that his methods were extraordinary, so he just said: "Be careful!" ”
Pei Min didn't go to Xue Ne, Xue Ne, as the governor of Youzhou, was in an important position, and he also bothered him with big things, which was too much. He was the first to find the government of Jicheng, and now most people in Jicheng know that Pei Min helped Xue Ne capture Li Wuyi, and has a close relationship with Xue Ne.
Pei Min directly explained his intentions, wondering if this situation was the only one or regional-scoped. If it is the latter, it is an accident, and it is his heart; If only the Yuan family encounters this situation, they must have a plan.
Tai Shou called Zhang Chao is a chubby middle-aged man, with a fat head and big ears who looks like a corrupt official at a glance, but in fact, he has a good official style and has done a lot of things for the benefit of the people.
Zhang Chao said: "What Pei Gongzi said, the official has not received any news. I'll call the county lieutenant, he's in charge of security in the city, and I probably know more about it. He asked people to call the county lieutenant and at the same time let people serve a cup of yogurt to Pei Min.
Pei Min held the yogurt, smelling the milk with a strange taste, and really missed the tea of the future generations in his heart. He developed the habit of drinking tea in later generations, but when he came to the Tang Dynasty, he found that it was a lie to serve tea on TV at every turn. In his era, the popularity of tea is far less than that of milk, especially in the north of Youzhou, where his daily drinks are mainly dairy products, and there are very few people selling tea on the market, and occasionally the price is extremely expensive.
He specially learned about it and found that at present, only the Jiangnan Chinese and the Sichuan generation of people in the Tang Dynasty were popular to drink tea, which they called tea tasting, and as for other places, this habit has not yet spread. Because before that, tea was a medicine, and drinking tea all day long would give people the impression of disease.
Therefore, since he has traveled to this day, he has not tasted what the tea of the Tang Dynasty tasted like.
Pei Min didn't like sweets very much, so he took two sips of yogurt, put it aside, and after waiting for a while, the county lieutenant hurried over.
Zhang Chao said: "County Lieutenant Wu, this is Pei Gongzi, he wants to ask you about something." ”
Wu Xuan, the county lieutenant, was in a hurry, and at first he knew that he was an anxious son, so he first saluted Zhang Chao, and then said without waiting for Pei Min to speak: "Childe is here for the pair of grandson sisters who live in the Sanying Inn, if Gongzi doesn't come today, I still want to go to the door to ask Gongzi about something?" ”
"Huh?" Pei Min was confused, and paused and said, "What is the county lieutenant referring to?" Sister Gongsun did know me, what happened to them? Thinking of the gentle Gongsun You and the lively Gongsun Xi, I can't help but worry about them being alone in the field.
Wu Xuan was stunned and said, "Childe didn't come for them?" What is that for? ”
Pei Min told him all about last night, and Wu Xuan said, "I know, so far, I haven't received a similar report." When I went back, I asked the night patrol in charge of the area of Yuan's Mansion at night, and asked them to investigate the situation, and immediately give Gongzi an answer when there was news. ”
Pei Min thanked him and asked about the situation of the Gongsun sisters.
Wu Xuan frowned and said, "They seem to be missing, according to the shopkeeper's report." Sister Gongsun suddenly disappeared from his shop, and her bags were gone......"
