Chapter Thirty-Eight Beauty Visits
Li Longji said this sincerely. When he promoted Pei Min to the Censor, his purpose was naturally to use Pei Min's hands to help him stabilize the political situation.
As the emperor, Li Longji was still very capable in employed people. Pei Min was unable to rub sand in the eyes of people, and his martial arts was outstanding. He had no foundation in the court and was not afraid of offending others. He was most suitable for working in the Censorate.
Facts have also proved that Pei Min's achievements in the Censorate were extremely outstanding, and even Li Longji himself could not have imagined it.
Now that the court has been treated with great pressure, Pei Min made an indelible contribution.
Li Longji also knew that the Censorate was indeed easy to offend people. Lai Junchen, the benchmark figure of the Censorate, was so amazing that he could not help but respond to the situation. There was even an emperor's show of the emperor, and when he was eating, he arranged for people to try it out because he was afraid of being harmed by others in secret.
Pei Min is alone, and he cannot but be said to be an alien among the senior officials of the Censorate.
There was no accident so far, and Li Longji didn't care. Today's incident made him sweat in a cold sweat. In order to achieve his goal, the other party burned Yu Zhenguan. He was lawless and could not defend himself. He was worried about Pei Min, and he was even more angry. If he could not even protect the most respected person, who would be willing to work hard for him in the future?
Li Longji had already made a decision to take down the assassin who dared to take over the tiger's beard even if he mobilized many troops.
Pei Min asked for an order and said, "The Censorate has nothing important recently, so why not ask me to assist Chief Shi to investigate with others. It just so happened that I know some friends in the martial arts world, which may be useful."
Li Longji agreed: "I have allowed the Censorate and Yongzhou Government to work together to investigate this matter. As for those friends in the martial arts world, Jingyuan is better off having less contact with them. A group of martial artists who do not work in the industry, do not serve the country, and are unable to discipline them. I will have a headache when I think of them."
Since ancient times, the hero violated the ban by martial arts, and Li Longji has no favoritism for the people in the martial arts world.
Pei Min smiled and said, "I had no contact with the people in the world, but Your Majesty gave me a plaque that was 'unparalleled in the world'. Somehow, it seemed that it had violated the taboos of the people in the world, and came to me every now and then to challenge and discuss."
"Are you all this?" Li Longji frowned, and became even more unhappy with the people in the world.
Pei Min continued: "I think this 'unparalleled in the world' was given by Your Majesty. If you refuse to fight, wouldn't your Majesty lose your Majesty's face? So I took it one by one and taught one by one. After a while, my reputation was expelled. The people in the martial arts world spoke with their strength. They could not defeat the ministers, and they could only sell their face in everything."
Li Longji laughed when he heard this: "Jingyuan is really a wonderful person!" He disliked the excessive contact between the ministers in the court and the people in the martial arts world, but Pei Min did not object to this way of interaction.
Pei Min and Princess Yuzhen's assassination spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys. Li Longji also ordered a strict investigation of all entrances and exits in Chang'an. He ordered all neighbors Wuhou Fangding to pay attention to strangers in the neighborhood, especially men with injuries on their right arm, to investigate them strictly and thoroughly. Although Chang'an is large and has a large population, the ancestors had already thought of this when they built Chang'an City. In order to facilitate control, they divided Chang'an into more than a hundred neighbors, each neighbor was like a small town, with a similar Wuhou shop to a policeman in the public security bureau. All Wuhou Fangding Dings were dispatched to find a stranger in the huge Chang'an City, but it was not difficult to find a stranger with injuries on the shoulders.
The emperor was furious and the whole of Chang'an became busy.
Pei Min also inspected the scene with Yongzhou Chief Fan Yu.
Fan Yu was very grateful for Pei Min's plea for him and was extremely active in handling the case. He was very stance that the assassin would not give up until he saw him find out and avenge Pei Min.
However, after midnight, many clues disappeared, which was not easy to check.
"Zhongcheng fought with the thief. I don't know if he remembers the specific appearance and height characteristics of the thief?" Fan Yu could only start from scratch with no idea about the situation.
Pei Min shook his head and said, "I know no more than Changshi. I only know that he is about six feet two tall and very cunning. His face was covered with black smoke, and he couldn't see his original appearance at night."
Fan Yu said frowningly: "I would have taken advantage of the situation to investigate last night. He was injured and pointed at it with blood, so he would definitely not be able to run far. Now the blood is probably stopped and the clues are cut off."
Pei Min said indifferently: "The chief minister does not need to be under pressure. If the thief can be caught, I will be caught. I can't catch it. Last night, the slaughter of the troops may have any effect. But the search from house to house will not disturb the people? It is not worth it for a slut, so it is not worth it. I can conclude that the assassin is a foreigner, injured, and is worried that he will not go to heaven? Now the whole of Chang'an is eyeing him, where will he run?"
When Fan Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Pei Min more and a little respectful. It was really rare for a superior to care about the people so much.
Pei Min suggested: "It is better to start from two places, one is Yuzhen Temple and the other is the nearby walls. The thief can lit the fire in Yuzhen Temple without hesitation. After a long period of time of scouting and investigation, ask the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple that there are familiar foreigners recently. Maybe you can know his appearance... When he ran away, all the yards were in a curfew, and only by climbing the walls could he escape from the dangerous land. The walls were six feet high, and his arm was seriously injured. It was impossible for him to climb the walls without leaving any traces."
Fan Yu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "The Zhongcheng's analysis makes a lot of sense, Yu will continue to give the order!"
Pei Min holds his own identity and does not go to investigate in person.
He believed that with the Yongzhou Prefecture Office pressing step by step and Li Longji's comprehensive search, the assassin would be arrested within three days.
All he had to do was wait for the news, and then personally took action to capture the thief into the Censorate, and let him try out the taste of the Censorate Prison.
As expected, both points he proposed were rewarding.
In the past half a month, there was indeed a person who frequently went in and out to seek Taoism and worshiped Gods. No Taoist temple would reject devout believers, so he did not care. The Nanmenfang Gate, the Nanmenfang, the Fuxingfang, the Buzhengfang, and the Yanshoufang all had traces of climbing. Among them, the Nanfang Gate of Yanshoufang collapsed due to disrepair, which attracted the attention of Wuhou.
"So, did the thief run south?" Pei Min thought.
Fan Yu said, "It's a trick, I went to see the truth in person. The way the wall collapsed was wrong. It was really a small matter that I couldn't stand the power of one person in disrepair and collapsed, but the wall not far away also cracked the gap. The thief was so dense that he couldn't see clearly in the dark night, and he revealed his flaws. He wanted to lead us to the sparsely populated south."
"It's hidden in the city!" Pei Min looked at Fan Yu with admiration. He was able to become the chief of Yongzhou and be responsible for the public security of millions of people in Chang'an. He was indeed not an ordinary person: "Let's guess where the thieves will hide?"
"Xingdaofang, Chongyifang, Pingkangfang!" Fan Yu locked in the three neighborhoods without hesitation. Xingdaofang, Chongyifang is a place where Taoism gathers, and the other is a place where Buddhism gathers. The ancients were superstitious and had a deep sense of awe of gods and Buddhas, and they did not dare to investigate these two places too presumptuously. Pingkangfang is a place where the three religions and nicknames gather. Every brothel has a certain background, and it is impossible to check the house in one room at a time. After all, it is possible that when you push the door, you can see the unbearable appearance of a certain official, neither Wuhou nor Fangding can afford to take care of it.
Pei Min smiled and said, "I asked you to tell me, then I will lock in Pingkangfang!"
"Yu will make arrangements now!"
Looking at Fan Yu's distant figure, Pei Min immediately felt that if he didn't want to have three days, the thief would have nowhere to hide.
***
"Young Master, there is a scholar outside the house asking for a visit and said she knows the whereabouts of the thief!"
Pei Min never expected that he would get news from the assassin just afternoon that day.
"Please invite him in!" Pei Min was overjoyed.
Ning Ze invited him into the hall to be an ordinary scholar, with an average height and an average appearance and everything. He belongs to the type of grabbing and grabbing a lot on the street. The only thing that is desirable is the eyes, which are particularly bright and agile. Against the backdrop of that ordinary appearance, it looks particularly eye-catching.
Pei Min looked at him and frowned slightly.
Such an ordinary scholar inexplicably gave him a very familiar feeling, and he seemed to have seen it somewhere.
As a warrior, Pei Min had blind confidence in his intuition and couldn't help but stare at the scholar's eyes and blink, especially the scholar's eyes.
The scholar seemed to be staring at him very uncomfortable and quietly lowered his eyes.
Pei Min asked Ning Ze to go down and looked at him for a while. "Haha!" Suddenly he burst into laughter and said, "Who did you think it is? It turned out to be Miss Jiao Chen!"
The scholar raised his head and said angrily: "Sir Zhongcheng is humiliating me! I am a seven-foot man, so I will call me a girl!" His face turned angry, and his voice was beautiful and beautiful, and his voice was also a low male voice.
For a moment, Pei Min really thought he was wrong, but when he thought of their lock on the assassin's direction, his familiar feeling and his charming eyes, he must have said: "The tricks of the skillfulness, Miss Jiao Chen's disguise technique is really skillful. It's you, you can't make any mistakes."
"Young Master Pei, how did you see this!" The scholar sighed in anger, and his voice turned into a pleasant female voice, which was the voice of Jiao Chen.
Jiao Chen looked at Pei Min with some reluctance. Since she had achieved her disguise skills, she disguised herself as various characters and traveled to Chang'an many times. She never showed any flaws and showed them to others. However, she didn't expect that Pei Min would see through it today.
"I think it's you if you have a little bit of communication!" Pei Min said a little teasingly, looking at Jiao Chen's disguise again, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. If he hadn't known Jiao Chen in advance that Jiao Chen had a unique skill in disguise, no matter what, he would never have thought that a delicate and beautiful woman could disguise herself as such an ordinary person and change her voice.
Pei Min's teasing made Jiao Chen a little shy and a little resentful in his eyes.
But the current appearance of Jiao Chen is really a bit imitating and terrible.
