Chapter 41 A Bottle of Poison
As the most powerful country in the world at that time, the Tang Dynasty had the most stringent laws and regulations, every rule and system they had undergone the test of the times. This was especially true in terms of urban public security, fire prevention, theft prevention, etc. It cannot be said to be the most wisest and most reasonable, but it is definitely the most suitable for this era.
Especially in large metropolis like Chang'an and Luoyang, they have comprehensive management of public security.
Take Chang'an for example. The city walls of Chang'an are divided into more than 100 fang areas by thirty-eight streets, and each residential area is surrounded by fang walls and fang gates. As night falls, all city gates and fang gates will be closed at the same time to form independent spaces. The person responsible for the security of the fang area is Wuhou Shop located in the Wuhou Shop, the corner of the street. Just like the police in later generations, they are responsible for the security, fire prevention, theft prevention, patrol and other matters in the area. If you do not have the certain strength and want to do anything in the middle of the night, wuhou is your biggest obstacle.
The security management method of Jicheng is roughly the same as that of Chang'an. It is a control method that is loose inside and tight outside. For neighbors, they use laissez-free people, but they have different faces and various Wuhous, and Fangding will stare at you like a thief to prevent causing trouble. Jicheng, as a military stronghold far away in the northeast Youzhou, is the closest military fortress to the northern Turks, Khitans, and Xi tribes. Jicheng lost it, and it was like opening a gateway to the northern region. Yizhou, Cangzhou and even Jizhou will fall under the iron cavalry of alien races. The key points are self-evident. Therefore, in addition to neighbor-style control in Jicheng, there are also emergency prepared troops in the city. They are in a state of preparation for war anytime and anywhere, and are responsible for public security in the city. The means are more intense. If there are any inciting the hearts of the people or creating chaos, they have the right to take down or even kill them with extraordinary means.
Under this kind of regulatory system, it is almost impossible for Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi to hide silently and not show off. Unless they find someone who has no one to investigate, no one will pay attention to it.
And Pei Min knew exactly where this place was Li Wuyi’s mansion!
Li Wuyi was captured by Silla Xizuo for Xue Na in the name of Khitan and Xizuo. His mansion was also sealed off, and officers and soldiers were given special care and prohibited from entering. If they could get involved, those officers and soldiers would be natural guards.
Pei Min didn't know if Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi were there, but he put himself in his shoes and thought that if he had encountered this situation, Li Wuyi's mansion would be the best choice.
Went to the South Street, Pei Min's six senses were far superior to ordinary people. He keenly avoided Fangding who frequently patroled nights and the soldiers who occasionally passed by. He came to Li Wuyi's mansion. Seeing that there were two soldiers standing guard at the front and back doors, he wanted to avoid their ears and ears and ears and sneak into the yard quietly. He could only enter the middle of the house. However, the middle wall stood tall and there was no tool in his hand to climb. But he saw that the next courtyard wall was short, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and with the help of the next courtyard wall, he jumped into the Li's mansion.
The mansion was silent. With the hazy moonlight, Pei Min showed that he was in a beautiful courtyard, with pavilions and towers a bit like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. He didn't bother to appreciate the scenery in the courtyard, so he walked up to the corridor and walked towards the residence along the corridor.
As soon as he passed through a corridor, a sharp sword edge came up to the top and stabbed violently, and the sword was like lightning.
Pei Min's reaction was extremely fast. He was unable to draw his sword and directly used his sword sheath to defend the enemy. In addition, he moved his body back and pushed it, and he made a qi.
"It's me, Pei Min!" Pei Min had not seen the person clearly, and had already issued a warning: The previous blocking, the collision between the scabbard and the sword edge made almost no sound, and it was obviously a collision with the wood. How many swordsmen were using wooden swords in Jicheng?
Yi said that the beautiful figure appeared and was the Gongsun who had not seen for a long time
Pei Min calmed down and determined the other party's identity, Gongsun Xi. Their sisters looked like they looked, but the feeling they gave him was very different and could be recognized.
Gongsun Xi compared the booed gesture, and the wooden sword in his hand shook and attacked Pei Min. Her sword was not fast, but this unhappy sword seemed even more dangerous to Pei Min. There were many more tricks hidden in it, and it could advance or retreat.
With this sword alone, Pei Min could detect that Gongsun Xi's sword skills had risen by more than just a level.
In just a few days, Gongsun Xi changed like this: her talent for swordsmanship can be described as terrible.
Pei Min's sword was not out of the sheath and gestured a few moves with her: Sure enough, Gongsun Xi's sword technique was orderly and had his own rhythm. He even intended to bring him into her rhythm many times and invade his initiative.
"Stop playing!" Another black shadow appeared from the other end of the corridor. Gongsun You thought that Gongsun Xi was in danger at first, so he rushed to support him, but he saw that Gongsun Xi was actually feeding each other with Pei Min. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he hurried to stop him.
Both of them collected their swords at the same time.
Gongsun Xiyi's deputy was arrogant and eager to try, and seemed to be interested in asking him to fight again.
Pei Min laughed indifferently. Gongsun Xi’s progress is indeed terrible, but how could he not make progress after absorbing some Yue Girl’s swordsmanship?
"Young Master Pei, why are you here?" Gongsun You asked softly.
Pei Min explained the story of the thief last night and the trip to the government office today, and then said: "We have the same interests and hobbies, and we can be called confidants. If you are in trouble, how can you not help? I guess you may be hiding here and come here to take a look. I guess it's right."
Gongsun Xi's strange eyes turned around and fro on Gongsun You and Pei Min, looking at each other and looking at each other several times, full of profound meaning.
Gongsun You sighed: "It's important. It's my sister's business. I didn't want to involve you, but I still implicate you."
"I'm afraid of being implicated, so I won't come." Pei Min whispered: "I can think of this place. They probably will come to me soon. If this continues, it's not a solution, nor a long-term solution. As the saying goes, relying on parents at home and friends at home, what are you still concerned about at this time."
Gongsun You hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you remember that I told you that someone behind Jiang Bo?"
Pei Min nodded: "Who is it?"
"Princess Taiping!" Gongsun You said four words.
Pei Min was not surprised. There were only a few people in the Tang Dynasty who dared to provoke him. There were only a few. As a strange princess whose political strength was better than the emperor, Princess Taiping had long been among the few people he expected. "The Le Yi theory is not in your hands, Princess Taiping would not be scruples with you!"
Gongsun Xi said a little embarrassedly: "I took something else to her."
Pei Min turned his eyes to Gongsun Xi and asked, "What's it?"
Gongsun You said: "A rare bottle of poison."
