Bureaucracy exists in both ancient and modern times!

Feudal society is even more serious, and acquaintances are easy to do, and this law is common in any era.

With Fan Yu, who is here, not to mention anything else, it is just that Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi's crime of injuring officials and arresting them can turn big things into small things. As long as the three Li brothers are really innocent, Pei Min believes that it will be easy to rescue them.

"Let's go! Let's go to the government office of Jingzhao Prefecture! Can you rescue the Li brothers? Let's clear your crimes first, and at least let you walk freely in Chang'an. It's a pity to come to Chang'an once. It's a pity not to go around well!" Pei Min was very organized in his work. Since he decided to come forward, what should he do about this matter, he had already sorted out a clue in his mind.

Gongsun Youyingying thanked him.

Gongsun Xi, who was beside him, heard a joyful laugh: "That's great!" His eyes were shining. He had long heard that Chang'an's strong men were like forests, hiding dragons and lying tigers. The reason why she agreed to Li's mother for a while was the reason why she agreed to Li's mother. She was inexplicably involved in the case and disrupted her entire plan.

Pei Min glanced at Gongsun Xi. Her mind was as easy to understand as ever. She hadn't seen her for many years, and her aggressive personality still remained unchanged.

Gongsun You also had a headache. He thought about how he should control her sister who loves to cause trouble. He had the urge to marry her several times. He thought that maybe he would get married and become a family and his temperament would be more restrained. However, Gongsun Xi’s standard for choosing a husband was too weird. Only those who could beat her could consider it. She knew Gongsun Xi’s kung fu. In this world, except for Pei Min in front of him, how many people in the same generation could really defeat her? Could it be that he would marry a martial arts celebrity with seventy and eighty-year-old children and grandchildren?

Headache!

Gongsun Xi urged: "What are you waiting for? Go quickly. I've been thief these days, and I've been so suffocated. I don't know if I have encountered a disaster recently. Sister, have you been there now? Since we moved to Nanzhai Village, we haven't encountered any good things. First, Nanzhai Village was robbed, and there have been constant noises along the way. Now we are slandering as thieves. The bad luck of the year has been gathered in these days."

Gongsun Xi said the person was unintentional, but Pei Min heard it, and stopped and asked, "What's wrong with Nanzhai Village being robbed?"

Gongsun You said: "Before we came to Chang'an, the village we lived in was invaded by more than a hundred thieves. We were beaten away and no casualties were caused."

"More than a hundred thieves, looting the village?" Pei Min was stunned. Now it was a bright world. The Tang Dynasty had entered a prosperous era, and some thieves dared to loot the village.

"Can you tell me in detail?" Pei Min suddenly realized that the situation was a bit serious, and things seemed not as simple as he thought.

Gongsun Xi said: "It was a group of unreliable thieves in Yunmengze who intended to loot Nanzhai Village where we lived. According to my sister, they planned to slaughter the village, but let us capture the thief and the king first to stop it. Later, officials from Luoyang investigated and confirmed that they were all evil thieves, and many of them were guilty of crimes and had already been on the wanted list of the government. The government alone gave me 500 trump cards, which made a lot of money." As she said that, she couldn't help laughing.

Five hundred jins are equivalent to the prices of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and the RMB in later generations are about one million.

He made a million in one night, no wonder Gongsun Xi laughed as he spoke.

Pei Min smiled, but his eyes were a little solemn, and he asked, "Where is Nanzhai Village? The Luoyang government handled it, and it is in Luoyang?" He was also half a Confucian scholar. He could read some books without any trouble. The books included all the geography of the prefectures and counties in the world. He had a certain impression of the general terrain of the prefectures and prefectures of the Tang Dynasty. However, a small village that was insignificant was not in his mind.

They walked and said that there were only three of them in the narrow and winding alley.

"It is a small village south of Luoyang, near the foot of Funiu Mountain, with a population of only more than 200. The people in the village are not rich, but they are simple and kind, and every family is as close as a family. But for some reason, they will become the target of the bandits." Gongsun You was calm and intelligent, and had a certain doubt about this, but he just couldn't understand the reason.

Pei Min said decisively without thinking: "They must have another purpose, not simply looting the village. There is no special benefit, and they dare not act so arbitrarily. Raiding merchants and travelers, even if the losses caused, is still acceptable. However, looting the village and attacking innocent people, even if the village is small, the temple cannot stand by and tolerate it. The nature of the two is completely different. Only with enough profits can the thieves take a risk. As you said, Nanzhai Village is far from such a profit, and there must be a whole story behind this."

Pei Min had heard some news when he was in the Censorate when he was in the Censorate.

Yunmengze was originally a hunting area of ​​the Chu King of Chu in the pre-Qin period. Its area was quite vast. From the north of Huarong to the south of the Han River, including mountains, hills, plains and lakes, all belonged to Yunmengze. In the hundreds of years after the Southern and Northern Dynasties, due to the accumulation of mud and sand, the small lakes of Yunmengze were transformed into 6 places, and the large lakes became swamps, forming a dangerous place where reeds and reeds were everywhere and wild beasts were rampant. Especially the hundred-mile wasteland in the middle was even more steep, making giant thieves hide in it and become a paradise for thieves, and the business trips to Jingxiang for disaster. This has been the case for nearly a hundred years.

Local officials sent troops to encircle and suppress this more than once, but what they paid was far from the reward.

In his memory, the last time he encircled the imperial court, dispatched a 50,000 army, but in the end he only killed more than a hundred unlucky thieves, and nearly a thousand injured. Therefore, all the local officials in Jingxiang focused on preventing robberies and did not have a wonderful way to deal with those thieves.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong in history, the huge bandits in Yunmengze plundered the county town, angering Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi. Li Zhi specially mobilized a large army to suppress it, and more than 300,000 troops were destroyed and flattened the hundred-mile desert.

But even during the Taiping period, there were many thieves who did not work for production and needed to get something for nothing. They either caused trouble in the village or became bandits. In a few years, Bailihuang had thieves again. It was also because of Li Zhi's anger that all the thieves learned to behave and made a living by looting merchants. They did not rob the village, which violated the bottom line of the court.

The allocation of more than 300,000 troops and the salary of food and grass are not a small amount, and the bandits born again for the spring breeze are not worth it. Since then, the thieves in Yunmengze have been replaced one after another, and have not really destroyed them yet.

"What special actions did that group of thieves do? Why don't you tell me about the situation that night? It's better not to let go of any details..." Pei Min said as he looked at Gongsun You. Gongsun Xi was careless, and this detail was definitely not as detailed as Gongsun You remembered.

With my memory, Gongsun You explained the situation that night in detail, and then said: "They must have stepped on the spot in advance and rushed directly to the front of the house. I suspect they came for our sisters, after all, our sisters are quite beautiful."

Pei Min did not deny Gongsun You's words. With the appearance of their sisters, the four words "pretty" are humble words. It is not an exaggeration to call it the national beauty and Tianxiang. He shook his head and said, "If you really come for you, just kidnap you directly. Why do you have to kill the whole village in one fell swoop? According to my opinion, one, the thieves have deep hatred for your small village, and it is enough to kill all of you to relieve you. Second, they need to kill some people in the village, so that they can't be exposed, and they are crazy about slaughtering the village. As for your sisters, it's just their surprise! By the way, where do the Li brothers live? As you said, the Li brothers settled in Luoyang, when did they return to Nanzhai Village?"

"It's our neighbor, right next to you!" Gongsun You's eyes were already enlightened, and he said in disbelief: "It's impossible. It's so cruel to massacre the whole village in order to kill three people!" She said and added, "The three brothers of the Li family are very famous in Luoyang. I heard that the saints like music and specially recommended them. They also planned to go to Chang'an to seek better prospects. They dared to come to Nanzhai Village to say goodbye to Li's mother... The Xi Village incident was born on the same day."

"Maybe it was a coincidence!" Pei Min said: "But if you have arrived in Chang'an and have such a thing again, it cannot be considered a coincidence!"

Gongsun You had already figured out everything and said angrily: "This is too cruel."

Gongsun Xi also understood and raised his eyebrows, "Don't let me know who he is, my sword..." She was about to say, "My sword can't forgive them." Then she remembered that the long sword she had with her for many years had broken into two pieces, and she became depressed immediately.

"For the benefit! What is the life of hundreds of days?" Pei Min was hiding in the battlefield in the officialdom, and was influenced by it. He had seen such things for a lot, but he still felt inexplicably angry in his heart.

He had a certain bottom line in dealing with people, like a war between two armies. Even if Tubo killed all the troops and destroyed the Shence Army he created, he would only hate himself for being incompetent, but would not hate Tubo. Because it was a battlefield, a battlefield for people-cannibalism. However, Tubo invaded Taozhou and took action against innocent people. Even if he only killed more than a hundred people, he would be angry and repay a hundred times.

Killing the people and killing soldiers are two different concepts.

Pei Min disagrees with dealing with the Li brothers for the sake of profit, but it is understandable. The bad roots of human nature are that they will not get up early without profit. However, for this, it will affect innocent people and slaughter the village, which will touch his personal moral bottom line.

After a moment of pondering, Pei Min said, "I want to pull out the people behind the scenes. Miss You and Miss Xi, are you willing to help me?"

"Of course!" Gongsun Xi responded first.

Gongsun You also said, "I wish to listen to the order!"

Pei Min touched her chin and smiled, "Then I can't go to Jingzhao Mansion with you now. I'll arrange for someone to accompany you!"

"Why?" Gongsun Xi was confused!
