Fantasy: Starting out as a gigolo, born a Confucian sage

Pei Deben made an appointment with Shen Wuming for dinner in the evening, but when dinner time came, he was still busy in the public room.

There are already dishes on the table. It is not rich, but there are about ten dishes, and they are quite exquisite.

Pei Zian was a little embarrassed, "Brother, my father really didn't mean it. There are too many things going on."

"I understand."

Shen Wuming nodded, not surprised at all. He was used to the custom of the Northern Han Dynasty officialdom.

For example, my father-in-law cannot leave Guangwu Camp during the Chinese New Year, and all the officials are very diligent.

"It's just a pity that the food on the table was cold when he came over after finishing his work!"

Pei Zian swallowed, but still obeyed the rules and didn't move, just staring.

Shen Wuming had long been accustomed to her style, so he took out a box of snacks from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Pad your belly first."

"Okay." Pei Zian's eyes lit up, "I knew my eldest brother was the best."

The food was placed aside, and neither of them moved, but chatted about some insignificant things.

From Zhongshan to Luoyang.

The two of them didn't know how much they talked, but there seemed to be endless things to say.

It's not a long speech, but just say what comes to mind. If you don't think about it, you will be silent and you won't feel embarrassed.

Just very comfortable.

Unknowingly, Pei Zian's delicate body was leaning against Shen Wuming's body, plump and full of elasticity.

"This girl..."

Shen Wuming turned around and saw that she had fallen asleep. After all, she was very tired from the long journey.

And after finally returning home, I felt relaxed and fell asleep naturally.

After another half an hour, Pei Deben hurriedly opened the door and cupped his hands towards Shen Wuming.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen."

Pei Deben looked guilty, "There was a case just now, which was really hard to do... Sigh."

"fine."

Shen Wuming smiled softly, then raised his finger to his mouth, "Shh, Zian is asleep."

"This girl..."

Pei Deben looked at Pei Zian with loving eyes, "Then I'll send her back to her room to sleep first."

As he spoke, he flicked out a burst of magic power, slowly wrapped Pei Zian, and lifted her up.

He just flew into the air, even maintaining Pei Zian's original posture, without waking her up.

"What a strong Legalist cultivation level?"

Shen Wuming's pupils shrank. He learned about Pei Deben's deeds from Yang Wanchun and guessed that his cultivation was extraordinary.

After all, Legalist practice is not like Taoist self-cultivation, nor is it like Confucian study, or military training.

Instead, he practiced by solving crimes.

The more cases are solved, the higher the Legalist's cultivation level will be, but if there are unjust, false, and wrong cases, the cultivation level will plummet.

Pei Deben is in charge of Dali Temple and is the best detective in Luozhou. He has experienced countless cases and his cultivation is naturally good.

"I'm afraid it's no less than Zhao Qiansun..."

Shen Wuming thought to himself, and secretly increased the value of the imperial court by a few points.

Jiuding, who can allow the emperor to exert the strength of the eighth realm, and the minister of Dali Temple, who has the strength of the seventh realm.

How terrifying are the other six ministers and the prime ministers of the three provinces? Definitely not to be underestimated!

After sending Pei Zian back to the room, Pei Deben came back and said, "Sit down and start eating."

"It's just the two of us. We don't need to talk about so many rules. Eating is just to fill our stomachs."

Shen Wuming suddenly discovered that these officials in the capital seemed to have no airs?

Whether it is Yang Wanchun or Pei Deben, they all give him a very people-friendly feeling.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

At the dinner table, Pei Deben basically said nothing. Except for urging him to eat food twice, he didn't say another word.

No drinking either.

In less than a quarter of an hour, both of them finished the meal, and Pei Deben burped.

"Should we stay at Dali Temple tonight?"

Pederben asked.

Shen Wuming shook his head, "When I went to the Ministry of Rites just now, I was captured by Duke Rong."

"If you have to let me live in Rongguo Mansion, I have already agreed!"

"The old man?" Pei Deben raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's okay, he's quite reliable."

"And he was also one of the people who participated in the political reform with your father-in-law back then, but not openly."

"Anyone who knows anything knows that he will definitely not cheat you!"

I don't know what Pei Deben thinks, but he seems to subconsciously put himself and Shen Wuming in a very close position.

But actually.

In Shen Wuming's eyes, only Pei Zian in the entire Zhongshan Pei family is worthy of trust. As for the others, they have to be questioned.

But Pei Deben didn't seem to have this awareness. After commenting on Yang Wanchun, he pulled Shen Wuming forward.

"I happen to have a case here. It's very difficult. You are very knowledgeable. Come over and help me refer to it."

Everyone in the Pei family has the same moral character. When it comes to catching strong men, they are called clean and neat.

Shen Wuming quickly declined, but Pei Deben took out a wad of banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed it into his hand.

"I know all your rules. My father and that boy Pei Yuan both said that as long as you give me money, you will do things."

"Here are three thousand taels. Please help me take a look. Whether it can be broken or not is yours."

Putting the money into Shen Wuming's hand, Pei Deben implicitly agreed and dragged him straight to the court.

"Well……"

Shen Wuming pursed his lips, but still stuffed the banknote into his sleeve, no matter how small the mosquito legs were.

Although he no longer looks down on a mere three thousand taels, he still has to help even if he doesn't want it.

After all, he is Pei Zian's father.

The Dali Temple usually does not review cases. It is mainly responsible for verifying the judgments of cases uploaded from various places.

However, if it encounters a major case, or if it involves the dignitaries of the court, the Dali Temple needs to take action.

"Today's case is like this."

On the way, Pei Deben gave a general account of the case, which was that a fourth-rank official was killed.

A fourth-rank official is not big, but it is not small either. Chu Pingshan's Guangwu General is a fourth-rank official.

Even in the capital Luoyang, a fourth-rank official can serve as a doctor in a department under the six ministries, or as a deputy to the nine ministers.

"The person who was killed was a doctor in the Military Department. He was in charge of maps and had little power."

"But this position is quite sensitive, so after the incident, the Minister of War and the Prime Minister personally asked about it."

"I must solve the case as soon as possible and give an explanation, but at present, I can't be sure who the murderer is!"

When Pei Deben said this, Shen Wuming interrupted him, "I can't be sure who the murderer is?"

"Does that mean you already have someone you suspect? But there is no evidence yet."

"Yes."

Pei Deben nodded, "And we have arrested all three suspects, most likely one of them."

Shen Wuming breathed a sigh of relief.

If this is the case, it might be much easier, otherwise he really can't start from the beginning.

In his previous life, he only watched some detective Di Renjie and the like. If he really said that he had much knowledge of solving cases, it would be bullshit.
