"Will they have already gone back?" When Pei Min was talking to Gongsun Youye, he heard the other party mention the purpose of coming to Jicheng this time. They were entrusted by someone to send a girl to join his uncle. Both of them were orphans, and there were no relatives here, so it was natural to complete the task and return home. The luggage and other things were cleaned up, so the return home might be bigger. With their sisters' swordsmanship and martial arts, Pei Min really couldn't think of anyone who could make them disappear without warning.

Wu Xuan pondered: "The shopkeeper thought so at first. The sisters did not check out, but the deposit was enough to deliver their food and accommodation. He didn't plan to make a statement. But not long after, some people came to the door and asked the whereabouts of Gongsun sisters. The shopkeeper felt something was wrong, so he mentioned it to me and was not reported to the official. This morning, I went to the four gates to investigate whether there were records of their sisters leaving the city. My sister Gongsun You had been out of the city for five or six consecutive days in the morning and returned late at night. Until the night before yesterday, there was no news. There was no record of their departure from the four gates. It was only more than a month before that the Xi tribe retreated. The Grand Governor has been cleaning up Li Wuyi's remnants recently. The prohibited instructions were not removed, but were aggravated. It is unlikely that the Gongsun sister would leave the city without leaving the trace."

The system of disappearance at this time is somewhat similar to that of later generations. They are missing only when they are missing for a certain time before they are investigated. The time when the Gongsun sisters disappear is not enough to file a case, but the local officials at this time are far more dedicated than those in later generations. A good local officials will even call the people parents, like their fathers and mothers, which shows that.

The shopkeeper of Sanying Inn is an old neighbor with Wu Xuan. The shopkeeper only mentioned this matter to Wu Xuan. As a local county lieutenant, Wu Xuan has launched an investigation.

Pei Min pondered: "My sister Gongsun You more than ten days ago, I never contacted her after parting in the inn. My sister Gongsun Xi is similar. A few days ago, she asked me to compete with friends in martial arts and stopped interacting. I don't know where they are going." His brows were slightly locked. Whether it was Gongsun You's gentleness and wisdom or Gongsun Xi's enthusiasm and simplicity, they gave him a good impression. Thinking about what accident they might have, they felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Pei Min like this, Wu Xuan could not know anything. He had too little information about the Gongsun sisters. He only knew that his sister left the city all the time and asked someone to fight all the time. He didn't know anything else and had no way to check it. The only news that he could use was: Pei Min and Gongsun You had a happy chat for the middle of the night. Pei Min had no clues here, and he really didn't know where to start.

"By the way!" Pei Min suddenly thought of the matter and said, "Sisters Gongsun have offended Jiang Bo. Maybe this matter is related to Jiang Bo?"

Wu Xuan's expression changed slightly and he looked at him.

Zhang's expression was also irritated when he heard this name.

Jiang Bo's identity as a smuggler is almost well known. As an orthodox local official, Zhang opposes smuggling, which is an unscrupulous business method that ignores laws and regulations. He wants to investigate many times, but in the end he suppresses it. So far, he doesn't even know who is protecting Jiang Bo. There is only one explanation. The power behind Jiang Bo is not as big as that of a big one. Jiang Bo is also tactful. He has no bad record in the past five or six years of his rise, and he has not relied on his backstage to do anything wrong, so Zhang let it go.

Zhang understood Wu Xuan's meaning and pondered: "Don't have a conflict with Jiang Bo head-on, send someone to monitor him. You come to investigate and put pressure on him. If this matter is related to him, it can also restrain their hands and feet and prevent them from doing anything randomly. According to my official estimate, the Gongsun sisters should be in danger and hide themselves, rather than falling into the hands of some people. Without any evidence, this official can only do so much." The following passage was obviously said to Pei Min!

Pei Min agreed with Zhang's judgment and linked the past last night, and suddenly said, "Two sirs, will the incident last night be related to the Gongsun sisters? The Gongsun sisters are in Youzhou for no relatives and no reason. Only the only people who come into contact with them in the Ming Dynasty are the only ones who are escorted by them. Someone wants to deal with them, but they first noticed and ran away. The other party suspected that I hid them, so they sneaked into Yuan's house to check one by one, and they didn't even let go of the locked room. They came to find someone, just to confirm whether there were people hiding in the room, and they didn't care about money and things, and there was no loss of anything."

Wu Xuan said in a deep voice: "But it makes sense. A thief in Yuan's house broke in. I didn't want to make money or make things. I have served as a county magistrate for many years and have not encountered such strange things. Contact the upper and lower levels to explain it clearly."

He opened his palms and said in a slap: "The meat is in the wolf's mouth, and it is not easy to make them spit it out. This fat meat is in the mouth and forces them to give up, but it is much easier. Xiao Wu, go to Jiang Bo immediately to let him understand our attitude. Let him know that there are people above him, and I can't do anything to him. But he can't do anything wrong under my rule and ignore the laws and regulations."

Wu Xuan took the order and left.

Pei Min bowed to Zhang to show his respect: Zhang is indeed a good official worthy of respect. He should not behave like a person, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Zhang shook his thick palms so that Pei Min didn't have to be too polite.

Pei Min left the government office and was still thinking about the affairs of the Gongsun sisters. Zhang and Wu Xuan had already put pressure on Jiang Bo. He was indifferent and could not get involved. He wanted to really help them. The only way to find them: Jicheng is a thousand-year-old city, perhaps not as good as Chang'an and Luoyang, but it is also a magnificent city. It is not easy to find two hidden people in Jicheng.

No, Jicheng is under martial law now, and the neighbors should be particularly sensitive to unfamiliar outsiders. If there are outsiders who are secretly hiding, how can they not report to the officials? Moreover, the Gongsun sisters are beautiful in appearance, and even if they dress up in men's clothes, they will be difficult to resist the outstanding appearance. It is really not easy to hide if they don't show up.

Where can there be no internal control, and it can hide people?

Where is there in Jicheng?

Pei Min thought about it while walking on the road, but suddenly stopped. When she thought of a place, she really met the conditions.
