Dare to Live Up to the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅰ

Chapter 4

Just thinking of Gongsun Mingyue, she ran into the door quickly, panting slightly, threw the clothes into his hands and said, "I found it."

Pang Ce immediately got up and tidied up the clothes, held them respectfully in his palms, and said with a heavy face, "Even if you don't like it, don't do this to it."

"Isn't it just a piece of ragged clothes, what about it?" Gongsun Mingyue glanced at the white dress, it was very ordinary, nothing special.

"To you, it may be an extremely ordinary piece of clothing, but to me, it means a lot. I hope you can respect your savior when you speak. Although you have always denied it, the facts cannot be changed. I am indeed your savior." Pon Ce said solemnly, walked to the door, and said without looking back, "I will come to you again."

Facing the sudden change of Pang Ce, Gongsun Mingyue was obviously not used to it. Was the person with melancholy expression and warm eyes just now really General Pang Ce?

But what did he mean by that last sentence?What is he still looking for?I don't want to have anything to do with him.

Pon Ce's figure quickly disappeared into the night. Gongsun Mingyue closed the door and was about to study the things written by those people during the day. Turning around, she suddenly saw a person left on the chair that Pon Ce sat on just now. The jade pendant tied with a red cotton thread, Gongsun Mingyue picked it up curiously, and saw the words "Jade Entangled Dragon" engraved on the jade pendant, which must have been accidentally left by Pang Ce when he was sitting here just now, Gongsun Mingyue He thought to himself, this time he must put it away carefully, he didn't want to give him a chance to humiliate himself next time when he came to look for it, so he put the jade pendant in his sleeve, turned around and sat down at the desk, Spread out the sheets of white paper filled with ink.

……

Early the next morning, the sky was overcast, and there was a feeling of suffocation in the air, which made Gongsun Mingyue's chest very uncomfortable. Now he regrets not bringing Zhan Pei along, and Yan Xi, if they are here now , the pressure on oneself will definitely be much less.

It's a pity that he doesn't even have a confidant now, and he can't send someone to do some things, so he has to do it himself. For example, today he wanted to find this woman named Sun Hongniang, but he had already stood opposite her shop for more than half an hour Yes, but I didn't dare to go in.

Someone seemed to mention last night that this Hongniang Sun is his uncle's concubine, and she has received a lot of benefits on weekdays. Gongsun Mingyue wanted to inquire about the situation, but this woman didn't look like a serious woman at all, and it took only half an hour. , several groups of men came to her shop one after another, all kinds of flattery, swaying eyes, shoulders and backs, coquettish and seductive, no matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for you to inquire in person.

Gongsun Mingyue remained in a stalemate like this. He wondered if he should let the yamen servants come and take her to the yamen, so as to avoid embarrassment at least. Just as he was thinking, Hongniang Sun walked out of the embroidery village and looked at the Yuelai Inn next to Gongsun Mingyue. Raising his eyebrows, he stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes and hair, then turned his waist and walked towards the inn. Perhaps because his attention was all on the dark-skinned shopkeeper in the inn, he didn't pay much attention to Gongsun Mingyue beside him.

Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help but looked at the shopkeeper again. He had dark skin and a shrewd face, especially those triangular eyes, which were obviously sinister. Didn't he understand that he was inferior to this person?

As soon as Sun Hongniang entered the door, she walked quickly to Niu Dachuan, put her right hand on his shoulder naturally, completely ignoring his disgusted eyes, and said teasingly: "Dachuan, I still have some materials at home, I can make them for you." A piece of clothing, why don't you try it on?"

Niu Dachuan opened her hand in disgust, and said bluntly: "No need, let's leave it to other men." After speaking, he walked behind the counter and closed the partition heavily.

Hongniang Sun didn't seem to care that she had just been rejected at all, she still had a faceless look, leaned against the counter, danced the white silk handkerchief in her hand enchantingly, and continued to say charmingly: "Brother Chuan, don't, you know I always Leave the best for you."

Niu Dachuan felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end. Whenever this woman stopped pestering him, he would burn himself. He shook the abacus in his hand loudly, knocked it heavily on the table, and said sharply: "I Say Boss Sun, you should take care of your own business, don’t always run to me if you have nothing to do, I don’t want to if you want to.”

"Ah yo. You will get used to it after a long time. Maybe, we will be a family from now on." Hongniang Sun put the silk handkerchief to her lips in embarrassment, and smiled, as if all this had become a foregone conclusion.

Niu Dachuan couldn't bear it anymore, and she was not bothered by using this kind of trick to provoke herself every day.

He pushed Hongniang Sun who was leaning against the counter away, then dusted the counter with his hands and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid that people like you will dirty my inn. I think it's better to let those dignitaries take over." Leave it to you, others are afraid that no one will dare to ask for it."

"Brother Chuan, I just like your personality. Say what you want, unlike other men who always say, you are so beautiful, you are so beautiful, and would you like to sleep with me?" Sun Hongniang also said I wanted to continue, but I heard a shout from the embroidery shop opposite, "Matchmaker, where are you, I miss you so much."

Hongniang Sun tilted her body, and when she saw the person opposite, she couldn't help sighing and said, "It's really lingering." After speaking, she turned around and said to Niu Dachuan provocatively, "Brother Chuan, Hongniang will definitely guard you like jade, you must Wait for me." After finishing speaking, he hurried out of Yuelai Inn.

As soon as he went out, he saw Gongsun Mingyue not far away. Hongniang Sun showed another seductive smile, walked up to Gongsun Mingyue and said, "Oh, where is this handsome guy? Do you want to come to my shop?" Go pull Gongsun Mingyue's sleeve and drag him into the store.

"You let go."

Gongsun Mingyue tried hard to break free from her hands, but she didn't expect a woman to be so strong. Any struggle of Gongsun Mingyue was futile, so she had to let her drag her to the front of the shop, and the people in the shop turned their heads Seeing Gongsun Mingyue's figure, he couldn't help being startled, and then he stepped forward with a flattering smile on his face and said, "Master Gongsun, it turns out that you are also good..."

Gongsun Mingyue looked at the person in front of him and felt a little familiar. He seemed to be one of those people he found yesterday, but because there were so many people, he really didn't pay attention to who this person was, but this person spoke so badly. Could it be that he is also a womanizer like him?

"Boss Ma, do you know him?" Sun Hongniang let go of her hand, her heart beating: This person is Mr. Gongsun, the Minister of Rites Gongsun Mingyue who came to investigate the death of the county magistrate?

"Matchmaker, he is Master Gongsun. He just came to our Tianshui Town, how could you be so unreasonable to him?" Boss Ma saw the displeasure on Gongsun Mingyue's face, and hurriedly pulled Hongniang Sun from Gongsun Mingyue's side to behind him. Smiling unnaturally at Gongsun Mingyue, "Master Gongsun, Matchmaker doesn't know your identity, that's why..."

Gongsun Mingyue didn't want to chat with them here, so she coughed twice and said, "Forget it, I'm just here to investigate the case. I didn't expect to meet Boss Ma here. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Gongsun Mingyue's words implied sarcasm, Ma Yahu couldn't hear it, but now that he is the interim county magistrate, he can't break up with him so quickly, otherwise things will be difficult to do in the future.

"Master Gongsun is here to find Matchmaker to investigate the case?" Ma Yahu looked at him suspiciously and asked curiously.

"Ahem, of course not." Gongsun Mingyue couldn't say that he had been staring at her for more than half an hour, if that was the case, how could he show his face?

Sun Hongniang poked her head out from behind the horse tooth tiger and said, "Master Gongsun, you are so handsome, I really have something to tell you about the county magistrate."

"Matchmaker." Ma Yahu turned his head and reprimanded her sharply, "You don't have the right to talk here, shut up."

Sun Hongniang lowered her head aggrievedly and stopped talking.

However, Gongsun Mingyue showed great interest. He smiled and said to the angry Ma Yahu: "Since we can't talk about it here, why don't you invite Boss Sun to come with me to the yamen?"

"Matchmaker doesn't know anything, Mr. Gongsun, I don't think there is any need for it?" Ma Yahu continued to help Sun Hongniang cover up, but obviously she didn't appreciate it. Before Ma Yahu finished speaking, Sun Hongniang walked behind him After coming out, he stepped to Gongsun Mingyue's side, squeezed out a pure smile and said, "Then go to the Yamen."

Seeing that Gongsun Mingyue was about to take Sun Hongniang away, Ma Yahu panicked all of a sudden, and said eagerly: "Matchmaker, you can't talk nonsense when you go to the yamen, or you will be beheaded."

"Boss Ma, I think you have misunderstood something. If the information provided by the matchmaker can help us solve the case, then she has done a great job. How can there be a reason for beheading?" Gongsun Mingyue glanced at the grandson who was getting closer and closer to her. The matchmaker said sternly, "But if you try to protect your own interests, or even talk nonsense, then I will definitely not be relentless."

"Master Gongsun, don't worry, the matchmaker must know everything she can say." After speaking, she still did not forget to wink at Gongsun Mingyue.

Seeing the two walking farther and farther, Ma Yahu stomped his feet, turned and left with a remorseful expression, he wanted to make arrangements for the unspeakable things that the matchmaker might say.

Niu Dachuan leaned against the door, staring at Gongsun Mingyue's back, lost in thought.

As soon as he returned to the Yamen, Gongsun Mingyue heard a lot of people talking behind his back. Faced with such a situation, he certainly knew what to do, so he called Xiao Rong.

"Why are there chattering voices everywhere in this yamen today?" Gongsun Mingyue picked up the water glass, took two sips and put it down, asking uneasily.

Xiaorong was a little embarrassed, as if she didn't know what to say, after hesitating for a while, she finally raised her head and said, "Master Gongsun, it's also my fault that I didn't remind you in advance, the one you brought back this morning is Hongniang Sun, she is We are a famous flower girl here, so ordinary decent men would not go to her shop."
