Forty-one

Although Pei Mingcui changed her tone, her heroic spirit remained unabated. Gao Shiqing could only smile bitterly and nodded, "Miss Pei is right."

In fact, what he wanted to say more in his heart was that I was just afraid that Xiao Buyi was not a man, otherwise how could he refuse such temptation? But he didn't want to argue about Pei Mingcui's thoughts.

"How are you investigating?" Pei Mingcui's eyes flashed. As a result, no one could tell that she was a rough man and carefree.

"Xiao Buyi seems to be from a horse bandit," Gao Shiqing said in a voice: "He sent two subordinates back, and I sent someone to follow the place to the west. Although I did not find their place to stay, according to my calculations, they were at the farthest in Panguan area, and it was unlikely that they would cross the river. There was a close to the Yellow River in the west, the Great Wall in the north, and the mountains were continuous, so the court could not control it, and there were many Turkic soldiers there."

"Since you haven't found their place to stay, how can you see where to stay?" Pei Mingcui asked carefully.

"Although I didn't ask someone to follow them too far, I calculated it from their journey." Gao Shiqing smiled, "Because Xiao Buyi was obviously more than three people preparing to do business. Yang Dezhi and Arrow had just left the day before yesterday, and returned at noon today, and brought a few more people back. I've calculated the fastest horsepower of the journey I have been traveling back."

"Oh, Mr. Gao, you are careful." Pei Mingcui frowned, "Since the mutiny of Yang Xuangan of the Zhu Kingdom and the emperor conquered Goryeo three times, the people have suffered and the soldiers are ineffective. There are many deserters in the deserted land. There are only one of them. Are they also one of the deserters?"

Xiao Buyi was not here, otherwise he would have been very surprised. This is far from the Pei Mingcui he saw. Is it just an illusion that she was careless?

"If they were deserters or horse bandits, Miss Pei would be arresting them?" Gao Shiqing asked.

"That's not." Pei Mingcui shook his head, "but his identity is indeed a bit troublesome. In my opinion, Xiao Buyi is a unique person. His only disadvantage is that he is too soft-hearted and emotional. But if he is not soft-hearted and emotional, I will not appreciate his character. He is definitely not a thing in the pool. As long as we support him, we will definitely be able to do something."

"What did the lady hesitate?" Gao Shiqing was puzzled.

"Since he is from the Pei family caravan, his every move in the future is obviously related to the Pei family," Pei Mingcui frowned and said, "You see, he is insignificant now. If he becomes successful one day, the court will be very muddy and water. That old guy Yu Shiji might make a fuss about his identity and then attack the Pei family. Since that's the case, we must be careful."

Gao Shiqing sighed, "Ms. Pei is sure that Xiao Buyi will make a big splash in the future, so he thought about something farther away."

Pei Mingcui smiled and said, "Has I missed someone?"

"That's very rare." Gao Shiqing looked scheming, but admired Pei Mingcui. "Miss Pei said a few years ago that Li Mi was talented, but she had a rebellion, and sooner or later she would become a major concern for the court! Later, he indeed followed Yang Xuangan to rebel, and almost moved the Dongdu. Although his whereabouts are unknown, he is mostly waiting for an opportunity to act. But after all, Li Mi was born in a gentry and was both civil and military. Besides, he was hereditary Duke of Pushan, and Xiao Buyi was a common man. How could he compare?"

"The goshawks can sometimes fly as high as chickens, but they can never fly as high as goshawks." Pei Mingcui said lightly: "Some people are born to be destined to be ordinary people, Li Mi is the same, and Xiao Buyi is the same. If I don't believe in my own vision, why spend so much effort to test him? He went to Mengdie's bed today, and he was still a greedy person after all, so I would go to bed early today and there was no need to study this person again."

Gao Shiqing shook his head, "I also believe in the lady's vision. Since this is the case, I will do everything according to the lady's instructions."

Pei Mingcui nodded, took a sip of tea and asked, "How is Xu Hongke investigating? Although he loves Sha Mengdie, he went down from Yanzhou and chased him from Jiangnan to Mayi, but he did not pay money tonight. When he saw his beloved person fall into his hands, he could bear to leave. He was also a person with a calm and endurance. From this point of view, he would not let Xiao Buyi."

She mentioned this, obviously Mr. Xu tonight was Xu Hongke.

"I heard that Xu Hongke was a Taoist priest in Huashan for several years. He said that he was familiar with all kinds of schools of thought, astronomy, geography, and military strategies. Later, he became a relative with Xu Yuanlang from Yanzhou, received the support of Xu Yuanlang, and started a business. He was quite good at it."

"It's fake to do business, but it's true to see the world's general trend." Pei Mingcui suddenly sighed.

Although Pei Mingcui is a woman, she looks more than men think. She is sometimes bold and sometimes delicate, but it is rare when she sighs just now. At least what she shows to others is her indifferent care, her boldness and carelessness hide her shrewdness and is unknown.

But she suddenly sighed and felt sad.

"Miss, why are you sighing?" Gao Shiqing said worriedly: "You are in poor health, and it is actually not suitable to think too much."

Pei Mingcui waved his hand, "We are willing to eat our salary and share our worries with you. However, the saint was more and more capricious than the other day, and Yu Shiji was always by the emperor and a slander. Xu Hongke was extraordinary, and Xu Yuanlang was even more ambitious. Now Xu Shiji has a new name. The Xu family's high-ranking family has a prestige in Shandong, so we must be on guard. Wagang Zhai Rang is a small-sized person and only cares about small profits. He could not become a climate. However, Xu Shiji had only been there for more than half a year and actually turned to the canal transportation. For a time, Wagang became famous and won great victory."

Gao Shiqing was silent for a while, "Miss, you are right, but we can't care so much."

Pei Mingcui smiled bitterly, "I don't know that these men were originally used by the Sui Dynasty and should be able to prosper, but the emperor insisted on his own actions, which made people feel disheartened. Since I discovered Xiao Buyi, I should lead him to the right path, so don't imitate Xu Shiji and others again. The Pei family takes the emperor as the foundation, and the emperor's worries are actually the Pei family's worries. The emperor's three campaigns for Goryeo have failed, and the prestige has long been shaken. Although Yang Xuangan, the country's rebellion has only been more than a month, many wealthy and gentry have participated, which shows that these people are ready to move and are just waiting for the second opportunity. If the emperor does not work hard to govern and wake up from the decadence, I am afraid that within three years, the world will be in chaos. "

"Miss, although you are loyal to the emperor, you must not let the emperor hear you. If you are not by his side, Yu Shiji always regards you as a thorn in his eyes. If these words are heard in the emperor's ears, they will beheaded and exiled. No matter how light they are, they will make him suspicious of you." Gao Shiqing was frightened and trepidated.

Pei Mingcui said sadly for a while: "I have my own sense of responsibility."

The two were silent, and the room was silent.

"The Wang family and the Lin family are all Chinese in Jiangnan," Pei Mingcui finally said again: "This time, because Tianmao was defeated, he turned to the Pei family. However, today they are both cunning people. Maybe when will they turn against each other, you should be more careful."

Gao Shiqing nodded slowly, "Miss, you have been retreating and show your boldness to others, so that they will not be deceptive. This time, the horse racing was considered to be a good loss, but Tianmao went out of the frontier, but the Pei family was persevering. We used the power of the Turks to attack Tianmao's credibility. The Pei family could stay out of trouble and remain unscathed. Tianmao went out of the frontier and was blocked and his reputation would definitely plummet. Those merchants would definitely turn to the Pei family. In this way, they could attack several Guanlong families, develop Pei family, and gain the confidence of the emperor. They were originally killed by one stone, but why did you change your mind this time?"

"I did think this before," Pei Mingcui laughed, "I don't know that Xiao Buyi's horsemanship was so superb, so he could win this game. Liang Zixuan was not worthy of his words. How could he hide his little moves from me? I deliberately lost two games in a row, using a scheming of a gamble in the third game. It seemed like a desperate bet, but it was a step-by-step approach. He thought I was a gambler and lost my eyes. He betted with half a year of profit in the caravan. Then he tried his best to win me, but he didn't know that I had already planned to let them go out of the frontier, but wanted to put the Pei family out of the matter..."

"But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations," Pei Mingcui said again: "Xiao Buyi thought I was in a state of impulse and was in harmony with me, so he tried his best to help me win this game. He rested and trained his horses in the stable for two days and two nights in a row. It really moved me when I think about it."

Gao Shiqing was silent for a while before asking, "Miss because he tried hard to train his horses in the stable for two days, which helped him develop?"
