Yang Jian and Pei Shuying were missing for five days.
In the past five days, tens of thousands of people have been expended, and there has been a lot of discussion in both the government and the public.
After all, the one who got into trouble was the legitimate son of the most powerful prince, and the other was the legitimate daughter of Pei Ju, the boss of the Ministry of Internal History.
But this storm is like a farce.
Because after Yang Ming came back, he didn't say anything. No matter how Yang Ming asked, the latter just kept silent with a sullen face. Even when the eldest princess Yang Lihua summoned him, Yang Jian excused himself and refused to see anyone.
Only Yang Chan stayed with him in the camp.
The people from the Ministry of Punishment originally wanted to ask about Yang Jian's experience in the mountains, but His Highness the Crown Prince ignored you at all, leaving the people in the Ministry of Punishment helpless.
After all, they couldn't interrogate Yang Jian like they interrogated others.
What a pity. She is a good girl.
In fact, Yang Ming had an impression of Pei Shuying from the beginning.
"Much better. Your Highness, please take a seat."
Since it was a woman's private boudoir, servants were not allowed in. Out of courtesy, only Yang Ming entered the tent alone.
After all, Yang Xian is Yang Guang's son just like him. If something happens to the other party, something may happen to him as well.
"Your Highness, please."
In the Sui Dynasty, it was normal for a big family like this to have a private army.
Otherwise, even if you are the heir apparent, you will still be insignificant.
Pang Ben followed Yang Ming's instructions and went to the Pei family's camp, but found nothing.
Yang Ming said: "I understand. When Lao Liu comes back, we will ask about the situation."
At present, in Xunshan's team, except for the pro-army and criminal officials sent by Yang Lihua, people from other major families have returned to their respective stations.
Yang Ming behaved politely and without the airs of a county king at all.
After all, in people's eyes, as long as the two real masters are found, the other servants don't matter.
The second eldest child, Yang Jian, must have done something to make the Pei family siblings so angry.
There are nearly a hundred people in the clan who serve as officials, and many of them occupy key positions in the court.
This sentence is more rounded. If Yang Jian did not do anything to offend others, he can say that it was because Yang Jian expressed his apology for not taking good care of Pei Shuying in the mountains.
Of course, Yang Ming would not hang around, after all, he had already extracted a very useful piece of information.
After all, the ancestral tablets of the old Pei family were enshrined in their hometown in Hedong County.
Everyone was talking about this, Yang Ming was embarrassed to say that he was just here to ask questions, so he had no choice but to sit down and said with a smile:
"What exactly happened? Since the eldest princess and people from the Ministry of Punishment came to investigate, I didn't go into more details. I just saw that Miss Pei was as haggard as my second brother, so I had some doubts in my heart."
Because Pei Shuying was a famous chaste woman in history.
The Pei family produced seventeen prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty.
"No need! From now on, our Pei family will not be in conflict with Prince Jin's Mansion. We will each go our own way. That is to say, my sister is kind-hearted and won't let me take this matter."
Pei Xuanji looked angrily and punched the tea table hard.
As for Yang Jian's security, it has also been greatly strengthened. The camp has three floors inside and three floors outside, and is surrounded by the imperial guards.
That's not right. I didn't kidnap your sister. Why are you venting your anger on me?
If we can't find out who did it, they won't let him go.
Moreover, Pei Shuying seems to be still covering up for Yang Jian.
The current head of the family, Pei Ju, is an official of the Provincial Order of Internal History. In history, he would also serve as Li Yuan's prime minister. He was a key figure in the Hedong Pei family's shining prosperity in the Tang Dynasty, and played an important role in connecting the past and the future.
Because Pei Shuying did not apologize at all for Nai Di's rude behavior, but instead had a look on her face like "Why don't you leave yet?"
Pei Shuying stretched out her hand weakly and pointed to the soft couch aside, "If Your Highness is just here to sit, I welcome you. If you want to ask about anything else, there is no need."
"Stop talking." Pei Shuying stopped her brother to stop him from continuing.
This time he learned the lesson and took the initiative to take Aunt Lou with him to the Pei family camp.
Pei Shuying closed her eyes, lowered her head and said nothing, with a painful expression.
In the afternoon, Yang Lihua sent someone to tell them that all the attendants, including Ma Laoliu, were detained at Yang Lihua's place for interrogation by the Criminal Department.
"Is Miss Pei feeling better? I came in a hurry, so please forgive me for disturbing you."
Yang Ming felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, as soon as Yang Ming said these words, the expressions on the faces of the Pei siblings changed instantly.
Is the medicinal soup hot? How about a perm? In the time it took me to come in, I should be able to drink the 90-degree water.
At this time, Pei Xuanji suddenly threw the soup bowl in his hand heavily on the ground, and then shouted outside the tent:
Yes! It seems that my trip was in vain.
In history, Pei Shuying would marry a collateral descendant of the Li family in Longxi, named Li Dewu.
As soon as he finished speaking, two slaves hurried in to clean up the broken bowls on the floor.
"Your Highness, I went to ask the Pei family, but Miss Pei didn't say anything. She just asked the people from the Criminal Department to find out who seduced them and threw them into the wild forest."
Yang Ming sat upright with an expressionless face.
There were only two people in the tent.
Among them, Pei Shuying was wrapped in a blanket with a haggard face and was sitting on a soft couch beside the campfire. Another young man wearing a fur hat was holding a bowl of hot soup and feeding it to Pei Shuying spoon by spoon.
Then Yang Ming had an idea and said with a smile: "I am here to apologize to Miss Pei on behalf of my second brother."
When Yang Ming came in, both of them had expressionless faces.
In addition to Yang Jian and Pei Shuying being found, six others were discovered one after another, including Ma Laoliu.
After saying this, Pei Shuying stopped talking.
Yang Jian can't control it. After all, this is a tradition that has been continued from the Jin Dynasty hundreds of years ago. He is not yet capable of breaking this tradition.
Because he is a princeling.
Pei Xuanji, on the other hand, looked at Yang Ming for the first time and said fiercely:
The Pei family of Hedong began to flourish in the Han Dynasty and continues to this day, still being the top noble family in the north.
Today's Pei family camp is heavily guarded. Many of them look like the Pei family's private army. Their armor and weapons are very sophisticated, not much worse than the Imperial Guards.
Is this kid venting his anger on himself?
Yang Ming knew that only four of Pei Shuying's personal maids had died in this disappearance. The others had some martial arts background and were not afraid of cold, cold or hunger in the mountains.
Pei Shuying nodded at Yang Ming as a greeting, but Pei Xuanji didn't even look at Yang Ming.
"Please tell His Highness King Yuzhang that he has nothing to apologize for. My only wish is that I will never see him again in this life."
Did the second child offend someone? So much so that the siblings became hostile to him?
"You blind servant, the medicinal soup is so hot, how can my sister drink it? You deserve to die outside."
"snort!"
A day outing in the spring is worth a fortune. Everyone's focus quickly returned to the right track, and finding a partner was the top priority.
Fortunately, Pei Shuying still has to give this face.
According to etiquette, Yang Ming first sent a message, and the guards of Pei Mansion will not let you in until you get Pei Shuying's consent.
Yang Ming must investigate this matter because it involves his own safety.
It seemed that something happened in the mountains, causing Yang Jian and Pei Shuying to remain silent at the same time.
Because the qualifications are not enough.
Yang Ming had no choice but to wait until Yang Xian calmed down before talking.
Later, during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Li Dewu was implicated by his elders and was sent to the frontier. Pei Ju was afraid that his daughter would suffer the same consequences, so he petitioned Yang Guang to ask his daughter to divorce Li Dewu.
Yang Guang is right.
But Pei Shuying refused to admit it. On the grounds that "it is common sense for women not to practice the second court", she refused another marriage that her father found for her in the Liu family in Hedong. She waited until the founding of the Tang Dynasty more than ten years later and Li Dewu was pardoned and returned.
The couple finally reunited.
Originally, Yang Ming felt that the Sui Dynasty in this life was somewhat different from that in history. Maybe Yang Jian, the second child, could really get together with Pei Shuying.
