Chapter 11 Absconding Shield
Seeing Gongsun Youken, Pei Min was also happy.
Pei Min has no insignificant thoughts about the Gongsun sisters at this moment. However, he still has a very good impression of these sisters who have the same appearance but have very different personalities.
At present, Gongsun You's "Xihe Sword Artifact" has not yet been formed, and he is willing to help her. Since under his interference, Li Longji began to think about "The Song of the Nishang Feathered Clothes" two years in advance, Gongsun You's "Xihe Sword Artifact" may not have been born in advance with his help.
Around Jianwu, the three of them chatted casually.
In about half an hour, Fan Yu led three young men with similar appearances into the hall.
Although they have never met each other, there is no doubt that the three must be Li Guinian, Li Pengnian and Li Henian.
Pei Min looked at them carefully. The three of them had red lips and white teeth, delicate facial features, and looked extremely handsome. Perhaps because of their professional reasons, the three of them were extremely feminine, and they could not tell the type of men and women when they changed into women's clothing. Especially after being in prison for a few days, the three of them felt like "sick beauty". Maybe they had been in contact with the heroic people in the army for a long time and had seen more masculinity of good men, and they didn't have a good first impression of the three who looked feminine.
"Li Guinian..."
"Li Pengnian..."
"Li Henian..."
The three of them claimed their names and bowed: "Thank you for your great rescuing of Duke Pei!"
On the way here, Fan Yu had already explained the general situation in detail. The three brothers of the Li family knew that it was because of Pei Min that they were able to escape and prove their innocence. They had always known how to maintain their "gentle" and suffered from prison for several days. They were naturally grateful to Pei Min, the life-saving benefactor.
Pei Min has been an official for many years and has become more and more envious. He also learned from Feng Changqing that he cannot judge others in appearance. He smiled warmly: "You are innocent, but you are framed by others, so you have this disaster. Now you are free from sin, and it has nothing to do with me. If you want to thank Miss You, Miss Xi, don't you say that they have suffered any trouble for no reason. In this unfamiliar place, you still have to find a way to save you, and you have suffered a lot."
Li Guinian, Li Pengnian, and Li Henian were particularly awkward when they heard this. It was not because they asked them to thank their sisters, but because of Pei Min's familiar tone. Miss You and Miss Xi were very intimate, showing the unusual relationship between the three of them.
The three brothers had long been so eager to marry Gongsun sisters, but they had never succeeded. Now seeing that Gongsun sisters had a close relationship with Pei Min, they naturally felt very uncomfortable and even felt a little ashamed of themselves.
They were persistent in the Gongsun sisters and naturally thought they were outstanding enough: as leaders of the song and art industry, they were wealthy, talented and beautiful, and had a very high status. They often went to and from the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles to become their guests.
They are worthy of the Gongsun sisters, but when they face Pei Min who is standing in front of them, they instantly feel that their advantage is a joke!
In terms of talent, appearance and status, what is not the point of Pei Min overriding them?
With this complicated mood, Li Guinian, Li Pengnian and Li Henian thanked Gongsun sisters.
Gongsun You responded politely.
Gongsun Xi responded with a little perfunctory attitude.
Pei Min looked at Fan Yu, and before he could ask about the situation, Fan Yu also said first: "Fang Xiangde has run away. My people went to Fang Mansion to arrest him. When he learned that he had gone to the store, he went to the store to find someone. The shop manager said that the owner had checked the accounts early in the morning. The yamen runners noticed something strange and specially sent someone to the city gate to investigate. It was found that Fang Xiangde had left Chang'an not long ago and his whereabouts were unknown."
When Pei Min heard this, he looked solemn. Fang Xiangde ran away as soon as he said, which was beyond his expectations: "He left in such a hurry, so he didn't care about his family?"
Fan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Fang Xiangde has no family members in Chang'an, and most of the mansions are servants. There are only a few concubines, but they are bought from a brothel."
Pei Min couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that this person has a big problem. He is always ready to escape."
Not all brothel women are as happy as Jiao Chen, and they are loved by Pei Min as treasures. The Tang Dynasty is open-minded, and patriarchalism is not particularly serious, but there is not much difference in the status of prostitutes. It is good to say that they are tools for venting desires, and it is not an exaggeration to call them goods. It is not illegal to be able to be given to others for being beaten and killed at will.
Apart from slaves and servants, they are prostitutes and concubines, and there is no value available at all.
"Miss You, Miss Xi, I have something to discuss with Jingzhao Yin. You can wait here for a while and wait for me to handle the business, and then take you to my house."
Pei Min said it was unintentional. The three brothers of the Li family glared out when they heard it. What's going on? Have you taken them home?
In an instant, the three brothers of the Li family suddenly felt that their future was dark.
Pei Min said to Li Guinian, Li Pengnian and Li Henian: "If something happens, don't wander around. Go directly to Huang Banchuo and ask him to take you to the pear garden and settle down in the pear garden first. As long as you don't cause trouble, no one will touch you in the pear garden."
It is true that he suspected that Huang Wanchuo was the mastermind behind the scenes, but there was no definite evidence. He was not very familiar with the three brothers of the Li family. It was hard to talk to them with heart-to-heart talk. He also believed that Huang Wanchuo was not so brave enough to attack the three brothers of the Li family again at this critical moment.
Even if Huang Wanchuo doesn't like the three brothers, he will show extra enthusiasm to get rid of his suspicion.
As long as the Li brothers enter the Pear Garden, their safety can be guaranteed.
Pei Min didn't say much to them and went to the next yard with Fan Yu.
"I have a feeling that there may be a big problem in Fang Xiangde." Pei Min said with some caution: "He can be listed as a suspect who escapes fear of crime, temporarily seal his carriage and horse carriage, and conduct in-depth investigations. At the same time, learn about all the business objects of his carriage and horse carriage and see if there is any illegal matter."
Fan Yu nodded: "Yutong has this feeling. He ran too timely. As for a businessman, Fang Xiangde has his own strength. There is a certain problem. But how big it is, it still needs to be investigated carefully."
Pei Min smiled and said, "I'll remind you that the cause of this matter is very likely to be related to Huang Wanchuo. Huang Wanchuo is jealous of the talents of Li Guinian, Li Pengnian and Li Henian, and is worried that they will be favored by His Majesty and thus lose their position. A thorough investigation of their relationship will definitely lead to some clues. You can also focus on Meng Wenli and Fang Xiangde. According to Meng Wenli, Fang Xiangde helped Meng Wenli very much. The merchant got up early without any profit, and he hired his fellow villager Meng Wenli to take the exam. This is understandable. However, paying money to help him develop the local economy is not something a businessman should do. Unless he wants to get something from Meng Wenli, this is very important. If these two things are found out, it will definitely be a great achievement."
Fan Yu is only forty-five this year. In politics, it is the time for "young and strong" to show his ambitions. He is very eager for credit and said with a spirit: "Don't worry, Duke Pei, Yu will handle this matter carefully and will not let anyone go to despise my Tang Dynasty law."
Pei Min continued: "If you need help, just speak up. How can you say this matter have a certain relationship with Min, and you will never postpone the ones who can contribute."
Fan Yuxi said: "No matter how good that is, no one knows that Duke Pei's achievements in the Censorate are as good as the old man of Di. With you on the side, Fang Xiangdezang can dig him out no matter how deep he is."
The old man of Di Guo was naturally Di Renjie who made a case like a god during the reign of Emperor Wu of Wu.
Pei Min blushed a little when this flattery.
At the same time, on the other side, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
The hearts of Li Guinian, Li Pengnian and Li Henian are like Sima Zhao. Even Gongsun Xi, who is very energetic, can be seen, let alone Gongsun You, who is exquisite in seven orifices?
But the Gongsun sisters were addicted to sword dance and focused on swordsmanship, and had no intention at all, or they didn't feel that way about Li Guinian, Li Pengnian and Li Henian. However, the three brothers of the Li family were very considerate of themselves and believed that they would have a bright future in Chang'an and enter the Pear Garden. However, they did not expect that before the beauty was brought, they would be imprisoned first. They also had to worry about the beauty to save each other. The gap between them made their brothers particularly embarrassed.
Especially Pei Min's appearance made them realize that it was a truly outstanding person. Compared with him, his biggest achievements were not worthy of carrying shoes.
Li Pengnian broke the awkward atmosphere and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Gongsun actually knew someone like Duke Pei!" The implication was to indirectly attack their relationship.
Gongsun Xi took the lead and said, "That's natural. We have known Mr. Pei for five or six years. We already met Mr. Pei when he was not admitted to the top scorer! We didn't expect that in just a few years, he became the Duke and had such achievements. Back then, we sisters thought Mr. Pei was elegant in conversation and would have great achievements in the future. See you today, it turns out to be like this."
Her words revealed a little admiration for Pei Min, and her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, as if she was a girl in love with spring.
Li Pengnian felt bitter in his heart. Their brothers had a private discussion: Li Guinian liked his sister Gongsun You, who was the best among the brothers, and the two of them did not compete with him.
Gongsun Xi is competed fairly by their brothers, and now...
Comparing people with others will make people angry!
The other party is Pei Min, so how can they compare with them?
Li Guinian stared at Gongsun You in a daze.
Gongsun You showed an apologetic smile, her original intention was to refuse. But it was obvious that Li Guinian misunderstood...
The three brothers left in a daze.
Seeing the three brothers walking away, Gongsun Xi smiled and said, "They won't bother us anymore!"
Gongsun You held his forehead with his hand and wanted to say something, but he found that Gongsun Xi was telling the truth word by word. When they said Pei Min privately, they did give him a very high evaluation, but they misunderstood it themselves...
Seeing that Gongsun You had nothing to say, Gongsun Xi laughed again, feeling a little proud.
"Why are you laughing at?" Pei Min happened to come back and saw Gongsun Xi laughing happily, so he asked.
"Can't say it!" Gongsun Xi smiled heartily.
