Chapter 41: A Bottle of Poison

The Tang Dynasty was the most powerful and strictest country in the world at that time, and every rule and system of the Tang Dynasty was tested by the times. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info especially about the city's security, fire prevention, anti-theft, etc., which is not the most intelligent and reasonable, but it is definitely the most suitable for this era.

Especially in metropolises like Chang'an and Luoyang, they are even more comprehensive in the management of public security.

Take Chang'an as an example, the city of Chang'an is divided into more than 100 square districts by 38 horizontal and vertical streets, and each residential area is surrounded by fang walls and square gates. When night falls, all the city gates and the gate will close at the same time, forming a separate space. The person in charge of the security of the Fang District is Wuhou who is located in the Wuhou shop on the corner of the street, just like the later generations of film police, responsible for the security, fire prevention, anti-theft, patrol and other things in an area. If you don't have a certain amount of strength, if you want to do anything in the middle of the night, Wuhou is your biggest obstacle.

Jicheng's public security management method is roughly the same as Chang'an's management method, which is a loose control method inside and tight outside, for their own people in the neighborhood, they use laissez-faire freedom, once there is a new face, all kinds of martial marquis, Fang Ding will stare at you like a thief, to prevent trouble. Jicheng, as a military stronghold in Youzhou in the northeast, is the closest military fortress to the northern Turkic, Khitan and Xi people. As soon as Jicheng is lost, it will be like opening the gateway to the north, and Yizhou, Cangzhou and even Jizhou will fall under the iron horses of the alien race, and the key to each is self-evident. Therefore, in addition to neighborhood control in Jicheng City, there are also emergency reserve troops in the city, who are in a state of readiness anytime and anywhere on the one hand, and are responsible for security in the city on the other hand. The means are even more intense, and if they incite the people or create chaos, they have the right to take down or even kill them by extraordinary means.

Under this control system, it is almost impossible for Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi to hide silently and not be discovered. Unless they find a place where no one is going to investigate, no one will notice.

And Pei Min knows exactly where this place is...... Li Wuyi's mansion!

Li Wuyi was captured by Silla in the name of Xue Ne in the name of Khitan and Xi Xizuo, and his mansion was also sealed, with special care by officers and soldiers, and no one was allowed to enter. If they can blend in, those officers and soldiers are like natural guards.

Pei Min didn't know if Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi were there, but when he put himself in his shoes, he felt that if he encountered this situation, Li Wuyi's mansion was the best choice.

Quietly came to South Street, Pei Min's six senses were far better than ordinary people, keenly avoiding the frequent night patrols and the occasional passing soldiers, and came to Li Wuyi's mansion, seeing that there were two soldiers standing guard at the front door and the back door, wanting to avoid their ears and eyes, he sneaked into the courtyard quietly, and only crossed in from the middle of the house. It's just that the middle wall is high, and it is not easy to climb without tools. But seeing that the courtyard wall next door was short, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and with the help of the courtyard wall next door, he jumped into the Li Mansion.

The mansion was silent, and by the hazy moonlight, Pei Min found himself in a beautiful courtyard, with pavilions and pavilions that had the style of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Not caring to enjoy the scenery in the courtyard, he walked lightly up to the cloister and walked down the cloister towards the mansion.

As soon as he passed through a corridor, a sharp sword blade stabbed up and down, and the sword flashed like lightning.

Pei Min's reaction was not unpleasant, he didn't have time to draw his sword, he directly used the scabbard to resist the enemy, and while blocking upwards, his body moved to the back side, blocking and pushing, all in one go.

"It's me, Pei Min!" Pei Min hadn't seen the person clearly, and he had already issued a warning: the previous block, the collision between the scabbard and the blade, there was almost no sound, obviously it collided with the wood, and how many swordsmen used wooden swords in Jicheng?

A beautiful figure loomed, it was Gongsun who had not been seen for a long time......

Pei Min looked at it and determined the identity of the other party, Gongsun Xi. Their sisters looked the same, but the feeling they gave him was so different that they could be recognized.

Gongsun Xi made a gesture of boosing, and with a shake of the wooden sword in his hand, he actually attacked Pei Min. Her sword was unexpectedly unhappy this time, but this unhappy sword was even more dangerous in Pei Min's opinion, and there were many more tricks hidden in it, which could advance or retreat.

With this sword alone, Pei Min could detect that Gongsun Xi's swordsmanship had risen by more than one notch.

In just a few days, Gongsun Xi has changed so much: her talent for kendo can be described as terrifying.

Pei Min's sword was not unsheathed, and he made a few moves with her: sure enough, Gongsun Xi's swordsmanship was fast and orderly, and he had his own rhythm, and even tried to bring him into her rhythm many times and encroach on his initiative.

"Stop playing!" Another black shadow appeared from the other end of the corridor, Gongsun You thought that Gongsun Xi was in danger at first and rushed to help, but when he saw that Gongsun Xi was feeding each other with Pei Min, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he hurriedly stopped it.

Both of them collected their swords at the same time.

Gongsun Xi looked arrogant and eager to try, as if he had the intention of looking for him to fight again.

Pei Min smiled indifferently, Gongsun Xi's progress was indeed terrifying, but how could he, who had absorbed some of the Yue Nu's swordsmanship, not progress?

"Pei Gongzi, why are you here?" Gongsun Yu asked softly.

Pei Min detailed the experience of the thief last night and today's visit to the mansion, and then said: "We have the same interests and hobbies, and we can be described as confidants." If you know yourself in trouble, how can you not help. I guess you might be hiding here, and I guessed right. ”

Gongsun Xi's strange eyes swirled back and forth on Gongsun You and Pei Min, one glance here, another glance there, back and forth several times, full of deep meaning.

Gongsun You sighed: "The stakes are very high, this is my sister's business, I didn't want to involve you, but I still affected you." ”

"I'm afraid of being involved, so I won't come." Pei Min said in a low voice: "I can imagine this place, and they estimate that it won't be long before they find it." If this continues, it is not a solution, let alone a long-term solution. As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out, what do you care about at this time. ”

Gongsun You hesitated for a moment and said, "Remember when I told you that there was someone behind Jiang Bo?" ”

Pei Min bowed his head and said, "Who is it?" ”

"Princess Taiping!" Gongsun You said four words.

Pei Min was not surprised, there were not many people in the entire Datang who dared to mess with them, and there were only a few. Princess Taiping, as a wonderful princess whose political strength is better than that of the emperor, has long been among the few people he expected, ""The Theory of Le Yi is not in your hands, Princess Taiping will not worry about you to the death!" ”

Gongsun Xi said with some embarrassment: "I took something else from her." ”

Pei Min turned his gaze to Gongsun Xi and asked, "What is it?" ”

Gongsun Youdao: "A bottle of rare poison. ”

Pei Min's heart was racing, the pupils of his eyes shrank, and he couldn't help but shudder, secretly thinking: Where is this poison, it is simply a bomb, a bomb that can blow up the government and the opposition!
