People in the Tang Dynasty, Jian'an style

"Wu Qing, are you sure about the method you mentioned?"

After hearing what the prince said, Wu Lezhang understood what he meant.

"Your Highness, I am 100% sure that this will succeed."

"But where are you going to look for that woman? If the person you find is unreliable, then... well, do you understand what I mean?"

"Your Highness." Wu Lezhang looked around and saw no one else, so he approached and said, "I can guarantee that I will succeed. I have a wife with a charming figure, who can definitely be called a beauty. When the time comes, I will ask her to seduce that Li Wenbin, and I guarantee that she will be easy to catch!"

Li Jiancheng: “…”

"Wu Qing, will your wife agree to such a thing?"

Li Jiancheng felt a little unbelievable.

The Tang Dynasty was an open-minded society. Eunuchs could be granted titles and live outside the palace, and they were not forbidden to marry.

Li Jiancheng knew this, but when he heard Wu Lezhang was willing to let his wife be bait, he still found it a little hard to believe.

"Your Highness, my wife and I love each other very much, so I naturally don't want to do such a thing." Wu Lezhang knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes, "But this is for Your Highness, so even if I don't want to, I have to do it."

Li Jiancheng was deeply moved by these words. He stepped forward and helped him up: "Wu Qing, you are truly my loyal subject. In the future, I will never let you down!"

Wu Lezhang had been talking for a long time, waiting for this moment, and was overjoyed when he heard this.

……

At the same time, strolling in the streets of Chang'an, Li Wenbin hummed little tunes like a real dandy, and whistled from time to time at the bulging chests of young girls under their flowered shirts on the street.

Looking at the crowds of people in the East Market, Ruyue, who seldom goes out, was dazzled.

The two bought a lot of things, and then Ruyue saw a rouge and powder shop, so she became a little hesitant to move.

"Sir, do you want to buy some rouge and powder for the girl you like?" When the shopkeeper saw Li Wenbin's gorgeous clothes, he knew that he was definitely a high-quality customer and hurriedly came to greet him, "You have come to the right place. We have rouge from the Western Regions and Southern Xinjiang."

Li Wenbin nodded: "Bring a few up for us to see. As long as they are good enough, you don't have to worry about me not having money."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper was overjoyed and quickly asked his waiter to take out several kinds of expensive rouge and place them in front of Li Wenbin and Ruyue.

"Look, sir. This is from Southern Xinjiang. It's called Soul-Captivating Incense. If you take a bath with it, your body will be filled with fragrance that will last for more than ten days. And this..."

Ruyue looked at these rouges and her eyes almost stopped moving.

In order to make up for his previous mistakes, or perhaps to shut Li Wenbin up, Changsun Wugou gave him a lot of rewards these days.

It may not be enough to buy this rouge shop, but there is no problem in letting Ruyue pick out a few rouges she likes.

"Go ahead and pick them. If you like them, let them stand up."

"Yes, thank you, young master." Ruyue cheered.

Seeing that her attention was not here, the shopkeeper took out another small box:

"Take a look at this. This is brought by merchants from the Western Regions from afar. It is said to have an aphrodisiac effect..."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper suddenly lowered his voice: "As long as you apply it on the girl's armpits and palms during sex, I guarantee you will have a... hehehe."

Li Wenbin waved his hand: "That won't do. I'm still worried that it's taking too long, and the girl can't stand it. If it takes longer, what should I do?"

Shopkeeper: "..."

You are such a pretentious person!

After choosing the rouge, the two went out.

Li Wenbin smiled and said, "Look over there, there's a pet store, do you want to go take a look?"

"Okay, okay, let's go and pick some."

After hearing what he said, Ruyue remembered that she had long wanted to have a pet, so she said happily.

The pet shop that Li Wenbin was referring to was the largest one in East City.

The store covers a large area, larger than the residences of many officials.

It's just that when you look at the mansions of the rich and powerful from afar, you can see eaves and flying corners, and when you step inside, you can see pavilions everywhere.

Chapter 24 That's it

Although this pet shop occupies a large area, the yard is empty and the houses are sparsely populated, because the most common buildings here are animal pens for various pets.

The door was wide open and there was no family member guarding it, allowing guests to come in and out as they pleased.

When the few people went in, they saw people coming in and out. There were not only many businessmen, but also many noble men and women in gorgeous clothes. They were coming in and out served by male and female servants. It was really lively and bustling.

In this "pet shop", there are animal houses and poultry rooms everywhere. The big ones are as big as palaces, while the small ones are only the size of a palm. When a breeze blows, the smells of many birds and beasts mix together, which is really not very pleasant. Ruyue can't help but cover her nose.

Seeing that Li Wenbin and Ruyue were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had extraordinary demeanor, the waiter did not dare to neglect them and quickly called out the shopkeeper to come and receive them.

The owner of the pet shop is surnamed Wu. He looks to be about fifty years old, with gray hair, a thin body, and fine wrinkles around his eyebrows and eyes, but he is in very good spirits.

Li Wenbin bowed and said to Boss Wu, "I want to buy a pet that suits me. Can you please recommend one to me?"

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. I am a few years older than you, you can just call me Wuchuan."

Although Wu Chuan was rich, he was also a businessman. When he heard Li Wenbin calling him father-in-law, he immediately waved his hands and said he dared not.

Li Wenbin smiled slightly: "Boss Wu, you are too polite. If you like it, don't worry that I can't pay for it."

As he said this, he showed his badge.

Seeing that it was someone from the Qin Palace, Wu Chuan was even more respectful: "Of course, of course, please follow me, sir. I promise to satisfy you."

Li Wenbin walked in front holding Ruyue, while Boss Wu bent over and introduced the two to the side.

In this store, there are all kinds of creatures, including those flying in the sky, walking on the ground, swimming in the water, poisonous and non-poisonous.

Crickets, spiders, parrots, hawks, goldfish of various colors, monkeys and cockfighting, ferocious Tibetan mastiffs, well-behaved fur dogs, Persian cats, as well as cranes, deer, turtles, and even donkeys and sheep are all kept as pets.

"Please take a look at this gorilla slave, sir."

"This gorilla is so ugly!"

"Haha, then please look over here. How about this long-eared male? Its hair is like a piece of black satin, shiny and glossy."

"The donkey's bray is so ugly!"

Kisaragi frowned as she spoke.

However, she remembered the joke about a donkey that Li Wenbin told her when they were making love, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Wenbin was not polite and stared fiercely at her chest and lower body - If you don't behave yourself, you will suffer tonight.

Ruyue's body softened, and the charm in her eyes was about to turn into tears.

Boss Wu talked for a long time, but Li Wenbin and Ruyue didn't like anything.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion ahead, and someone shouted in panic: "Be careful, be careful, those civet cats are running away again. Be careful not to step on them!"

Li Wenbin subconsciously protected Ruyue behind him, and then he saw a cage in the yard in front. The mouth of the cage was opened somehow, and several civet cats escaped from the cage and were running around on the ground.

Four or five guys were chasing them in a panic, but the cats were very agile and weaved in and out of the crowd, making the guys breathless and in a very embarrassing state.

The group took great effort to catch a few civet cats, but one of them jumped onto the roof. They were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, but they were helpless.

This made Old Man Wu so angry that he shouted, "Useless! Really useless! You can't even fasten the cage door properly, what else can you do? If you can't catch the civet cat, I will deduct three months' wages from you!"

The civet cat with golden patterns all over its body stood on the roof ridge, yawned lazily, and walked away into the distance along the long roof ridge with its back arched and light cat steps.

At this moment, Li Wenbin suddenly leaped up like a roc, and reached the top of the wall in one step. He touched the wall with his toes again, and then jumped to the roof in one step. The whole movement was quick and agile.

The raccoon cat with money-marked patterns seemed to suddenly sense something, and suddenly leaped up and flew away into the distance.

Seeing that the raccoon cat was already alert, he suddenly jumped onto the roof and chased after it quickly.

The tiles on the roof are semicircular and inverted on the ridge of the house, making it very slippery when you step on them.

Moreover, the roof ridge formed by the tiles was only a palm wide. Even if one walked on it carefully, it would be difficult to reach the end. However, Li Wenbin ran very fast, his movements were even more agile than that of the civet cat, as agile as a cheetah, and he caught up in an instant.

The civet cat realized that someone was trying to catch it, so it ran to the gable of the house. Suddenly, it let out a sharp "meow", raised its tail, and jumped off the roof.

When Old Man Wu and his men saw Li Wenbin's skills, they couldn't help but applaud. However, they were about to succeed, but failed at the last moment. They couldn't help but cry out in amazement, and all felt sorry for him.

Li Wenbin had already chased to the end of the house, and he leaped up and rushed out like an arrow.

In mid-air, Li Wenbin grabbed the civet cat's neck, flipped his body twice in the air, and landed steadily on the ground.

Wu Chuan was overjoyed, and rushed to Li Wenbin, bowing and saying, "Thank you for your help, thank you for your help!"

Li Wenbin waved his hand and asked, "What is this cat's name?"

"This cat is called Qian Wen Qian, which means it brings wealth and fortune, and is a lucky thing."

"That's an auspicious name. I'll take it. How much is it?"

Old Man Wu waved his hands and said, "You just helped me, and I don't know how to thank you. Since you like it, I will sell you this cat at the purchase price. It only costs one tael."

Li Wenbin nodded and motioned Ruyue to pay.

The thousand-coin coin lay obediently in his arms, very well-behaved, which made Old Man Wu marvel at it.

Ruyue gave the money, and Li Wenbin put the civet cat in her arms: "You hug it too. From now on, when I'm not in the mansion, you will be responsible for taking care of it."

"Yes, Xiaolangjun."

The two men walked out of the pet shop, and a woman who was passing by suddenly attracted Li Wenbin's attention.

"That woman, stop." Li Wenbin pointed at the woman and shouted, but the woman did not stop, but walked faster and faster. "Yes, it's you, don't run, stop!"

Ruyue quickly chased after her and stood in front of the woman.

Seeing that her way was blocked, the woman tried to leave in another direction, but she failed.

The woman looked to be in her thirties or forties, with tattered clothes, and a child who looked to be three or four years old was sleeping in her arms.

The woman said angrily, "My dear gentleman, why are you blocking my way?"

"What are you talking about? You are so old, why are you holding a child in your arms?"

Li Wenbin pointed at the child in her arms and said.

Chapter 25: Kidnapper

Li Wenbin took a closer look and said, "It's actually a girl? Tell me, what do you want to do?"

He had already seen the girl's appearance clearly. She was wearing a brocade dress and had shiny black hair that was neatly combed and tied into two cute buns with two silk strings.

Her ears were as cute as ingots, without any piercings or earrings, and she had a warm white jade pendant tied around her neck.

Her skin was white and smooth, like smooth ivory with a pink and moist color, and it was so delicate that it could be broken by a touch. Her nose was straight and small, as white as grease, and she had big eyes with curved eyelashes and pupils as white as lacquer.

This little girl is really beautiful.

Li Wenbin, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was touched by the little girl.

No, I have to talk to Ruyue when I have time. When we have children in the future, let’s have a daughter. That’s how it should be!

There was a flash of panic in the woman's eyes: "This... this is none of your business. Get out of the way, don't block my way!"

As she said this, the woman tried to force her way in, but was gently pushed by Ruyue, and she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, the woman suddenly threw the girl to the ground, slapped the ground and started to make a scene.

"This is my daughter. Why are you stopping me? Someone is trying to steal my child. Someone come quickly!"

In just a short while, many people had gathered around and were pointing at Li Wenbin and the others.

Li Wenbin didn't care what they said, he snatched the girl away, pointed at the jade pendant on her neck and said, "You can't even afford such a jade pendant with all your money, how dare you say she is your daughter?"

At this time, the others also saw it clearly and understood it immediately.

The jade pendant tied around the girl's neck looked white and smooth. It was obviously a piece of top-grade Lantian mutton-fat jade. It was very expensive and was definitely not something that this ragged woman could afford.

Since ancient times, human traffickers have been the most hated. Li Wenbin didn't even need to say anything, the onlookers were already outraged.

"Don't make excuses. You are a kidnapper. Neighbors, if you catch a kidnapper, you know what to do."

"Kill him, kill him!"

The woman was also paralyzed when she saw this, and she quickly explained: "I am not a beggar, I am not a beggar, please listen to my explanation... Ouch, don't throw stones at me."

The thrown stone seemed to sound the clarion call for an attack. The angry crowd immediately overwhelmed the woman and beat her to the ground with punches and kicks.

There were a few elderly and frail people who were unwilling to give up even though they were not beaten, and begged the people in front of them to punch and kick them a few more times.
