Chapter 17 Pao Ding Jie Niu Dao I Wish It Wasn't Him
The most circulating place in the world is the mixed places such as wine shops, tea houses and brothels. The more complex the environment and the greater the population movement, the more reliable information you can get.
So Pei Min opened her mouth and became a restaurant because it was true.
As long as you have money, restaurants can be opened, but brothels are different.
Brothels need foundation, location and connections. Pei Min's current power is not bad, but he does not do this to make money, but to inquire about information. If he comes forward in person, then what else can he inquire about?
It was not that he had thought about Jinxiufang, but Ziqin had a good relationship with him and had certain intersections. However, he did not have a deep relationship, and was not sure whether they would agree, nor was he sure to trust them completely, so he did not mention it.
But I didn't want Jiao Chen to say it out first.
Pei Min pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is not a trivial matter. It is exposed to us and it is not a good thing for Jinxiufang. Ziqin is a strange woman with a loyalty that ordinary women do not have." When Ziqin helped him capture the killer Xie, he planned to repay his kindness and rescue Ziqin from the sea of suffering. However, because Jinxiufang was in trouble, Ziqin refused his kindness. She also used the money he had saved for many years to redeem himself, and used the money he had saved to take care of all the sisters in Jinxiufang, which impressed him deeply.
"I don't have many contacts with her, so I dare not believe it all." Pei Minxin knew that the information network was like a double-edged sword, with both pros and cons.
The advantage is that you can understand the trend of the court and the trend of the political situation at the first time. The disadvantage is danger, and once people show up, it will bring him a great crisis.
Therefore, in this regard, you must be careful and careful.
Pei Min's second identity is also used in this place. Even if it is leaked, it is found that the illusory Qiao Feng is not his Pei Min.
Jinxiufang has been based in Chang'an for many years. If it is based on it and the information will be twice the result with half the effort.
This is like a shortcut, a long road. Although the shortcut is convenient and fast, it has a certain degree of unknowns. Although the long road is safe, it has to be followed step by step.
Just like a fish and a bear's paw, you cannot have both.
Jiao Chen put his head on Pei Min's shoulder, chose a good position, and said, "I didn't think about this. I think that sister Ziqin is the most righteous among the few sisters. Now that Jinxiufang is in a difficult time, if Pei Lang helps her like this, she will definitely remember Pei Lang's goodness."
"That's it!" Pei Min pondered for a moment, and had a certain plan in his heart, saying, "Then we will work together and fight on both sides. The restaurant is built, and Jinxiufang only has preliminary contact. We do not interfere or interfere, and Ziqin chooses by herself. They are pitiful people in the brothel fireworks place, and I don't want to force them to do things for me. But as long as she can sincerely help me and repay me, I, Pei Min, is the pillar of Jinxiufang. Within my ability, the affairs of Jinxiufang are my affairs."
"Okay! Listen to Pei Lang!" Jiao Chen focused on Pei Min, so naturally there was no objection.
The next morning, Pei Min went straight to Wu Mansion in the south of the city.
The Wu Mansion is Wu Xuan’s mansion.
The martial arts man who was arrested in prison because he was speechless with Kendrick.
Wu Xuan was a gentry in Chang'an. In his early years, his father served as a guard for the famous prime minister Di Renjie and protected him many times. The whole family broke his leg. Di Renjie did not treat Wu's father unfairly, so he bought a property for Wu's father and gave him a manor so that Wu's father could enjoy his old age. The land rent collected by the Wu family every year was as high as 100 chunks, which was enough to maintain the livelihood of the Wu family.
Wu Xuan was born with food and clothing, and became a heroic spirit that regarded money as something outside his body. He usually practiced martial arts and made friends with generous things, and took both black and white, and was eager to be righteous, so he won the reputation of Sai Mengchang.
Wu Xuan has a wealthy family, and there are many friends around him, and he has everything from all walks of life.
Wu Xuan was particularly solemn about Pei Min's arrival, not only because he was the Duke of the dynasty, but also because of his reputation as the No. 1 master.
People in the martial arts world attach great importance to the first place. Pei Min lost many martial arts celebrities in a row. This title of No. 1 in Guanzhong has long deserved its reputation.
"Come on tea!" Wu Xuan cautiously took Pei Min to the hall and ordered his servants to prepare tea.
There is almost no need to give special instructions. When I heard that it was to entertain Pei Min, the tea must be mint-flavored.
Pei Min tasted the tea in a cup to show etiquette. The people in the martial arts world don’t like to circumference. He said directly: “I’m here to find Brother Wu today because I have something to ask for! Please help Min investigate someone.”
Wu Xuan said without hesitation: "The Duke of the State has a kindness with me, but he is worried that he cannot repay me. If you look for anyone, it's okay!" He also knew that Pei Min was a decent person and did not hesitate to answer.
"Huang Banchuo is the general of the Liyuan!" Pei Min's intelligence website has not yet been arranged, so it is the best choice to ask Wu Xuan for help.
This kind of relationship is the way to make friends. He also wants to establish a good relationship with a gentry like Wu Xuan. At special times, a gentry like him who is extremely famous can win thousands of troops.
Wu Xuan hesitated and said, "He is a celebrity in front of His Majesty. What does the Duke of the State do?" The people in the martial arts world are particularly taboo to get into evil with the government. It is best not to interact with each other. Huang Banchuo is Li Longji's person after all. If there is no need, Wu Xuan would not want to offend him, so as not to cause trouble.
Pei Min understood his concern and smiled and said, "Brother Wu, don't worry, this matter is going on in secret. If it is accidentally leaked, it doesn't matter. Pei Min, I, here to guarantee you today. I will take on all the problems and will never hinder the Wu family. Huang Banchuo colluded with a mysterious man. They not only framed the law by corruption, but also colluded with bandits to slaughter the village. It's a hateful urgent matter. But there is no clear evidence. I need to investigate Huang Banchuo to the sky. Who he contacts, who he wants to know, and even what he has eaten, where he eats. I think in Chang'an, only Brother Wu can do this."
Wu Xuan called Sai Mengchang, which was indeed worthy of his name. After hearing Pei Min say this, he angrily said: "He is an actor, how dare he do this to the point?"
Pei Min sighed slightly, "In the face of power, how many people can truly be ashamed of favor and disgrace, and how many people are like dirt?"
"Okay!" Wu Xuan pondered for a while and said, "I trusted the Duke of the People. All the news about Huang Wanchuo's recent days is covered by someone." He called a servant and said, "Go and call me the rascal." As he said, he smiled at Pei Min, "Rublius is a rascal in Chang'an. Generally speaking, there is no news that he cannot find out. Usually, he cheated on me for food and drink. Not to mention that when it really needs to be used, this kind of rascal is better than anyone else."
Pei Min was interested in Wu Xuan's ability and nodded: "Just like the chicken-crying thieves under Mengchangjun's men, if there were no chicken-crying thieves, Mengchangjun would not be able to return to Qi State. People in the world said that Wu Xuan is hospitality and stupid, but he did not know that using some external things to win over people's hearts is a clever way. Although there are ungrateful wolves, one out of ten is profitable. That slutty six should be one out of ten!"
Wu Xuan nodded: "The Duke is very good! You are right. Although Zubiao is a gangster, he is a filial person and a person with a temperament. I remember one year when he snowed heavily, he shrank into a mouse in his single clothes. He couldn't stand up and came to me. He said that as long as he could save his mother, his life would be sold to me. When I went back with him, she saw that her mother had a chest disease. The situation was still fresh in memory. It was a rare cold winter in ten years. Zubiao Liu was frozen in purple all over. However, under his care, his mother did not have any frostbite. That scene shocked me at that time. Since then, he felt that Zubiao Liu is worthy of his hand. Sure enough, Zubiao Liu has become my eyes and ears in Chang'an now."
Pei Min pleaded with her hands and praised: "If Brother Wu had not been generous, he would not have recruited such a person."
"Haha!" Wu Xuan also laughed.
At this moment, the manager of the Wu family suddenly came in and whispered in Wu Xuan's ear.
Wu Xuan's expression changed instantly. He stood up suddenly and bowed to Pei Min, "Duke, I have something important to do, so leave for a while."
Pei Min knew that there must be something important to do, so he nodded: "Brother Wu, please give me a gift!"
Seeing Wu Xuan walking in a hurry, Pei Min thought about what happened, and waited patiently while tasting the tea.
After about a quarter of an hour, Wu Xuan walked back with a solemn expression and said, "Duke, what you ordered, I will arrange it immediately after the sixth time of the ruffian. There is still important things here, so I won't leave the Duke."
"Okay!" Pei Min was not dissatisfied with Wu Xuan's order to expel guests. He clasped his fists with the etiquette of the people of the martial arts world: "Then please Brother Wu. If you encounter any trouble, come to Pei's house to find me. You will definitely help you within your ability."
"Thank you!" Wu Xuan was a little reluctant to speak, but after thinking about it, he still made a gesture of invitation.
After sending Pei Min out of the mansion, Wu Xuan immediately called his son Wu Yuan and said, "Yuan'er, from today on, I will stay in the Wu Mansion and will not be allowed to go anywhere."
"Why!" Wu Yuan shouted dissatisfiedly: "But the child made an appointment with his friend to go to Zhongnan Mountain together! My father has been teaching the child that he will do what he says, how can he fail?"
Wu Xuan shook his head and said, "The situation is different. My father has his own reason. The coroner came to the door and said that a corpse appeared in the outskirts of Chang'an City yesterday. The body was extremely cruel in death. The human tendons were pulled out, making him unable to move and bleeding to death."
"It's so cruel!" Wu Yuan's expression changed drastically.
Wu Xuan's expression was frightened and his body trembled, and tears filled his eyes and said, "Whether it is cruel or not, the human tendons were cut directly from his body with a knife, and only two knifes were used in each place."
"How is that possible?" Wu Yuan has been practicing swords since he was a child, so he naturally knew the difficulty. Not to mention two swords, even ten swords and twenty swords, one hundred swords cannot be cut out completely.
Wu Xuan's eyes were full of fear and trembling, "There is a knife method called 'Salvation of the Niu Knife', which can be done with it..."
Wu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, his face pale in an instant, "Is that devil here again?"
