Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 4 Qin Changjiao's Worries
Wanyan Quxing was a person who was extremely concerned about his reputation.

Being surrounded by so many subordinates, including people from the Song Dynasty and even a prime minister of the Song Dynasty in plain clothes, he was furious when he saw with his own eyes that Wugu Lun Yingge did not take him seriously.

Wanyan Quxing immediately retorted, "I, Wanyan Quxing, am the chief envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty. Which of the affairs in the Banjing Pavilion is not under my jurisdiction?"

Wugu Lunyingge said: "Oh, you are the envoy, you are so majestic!

Wanyan Quxing, please don't act like that with me. Don't even think about me no matter who you are.

I want to go back to Zhongdu right away. If you have the ability, please send me back, or I will hate you the moment I see you!"

Wanyan Quxing was extremely angry. He really wanted to send this unruly girl thousands of miles away. But his father didn't agree.

Yingge said something to Wanyan Quxing, then glared at Yang Yuan and said:
"Didn't I say that I never asked anyone to 'demand' me, or ordered any food?

Why don't you get out of here quickly? You are causing trouble in my yard. Do you want to die? "

As Yingge was speaking, Ah Man also caught up with her skirt in hand, panting.

When Yang Yuan saw Ah Man, he immediately shouted, "It's her, it's her, she was the one who brought me in.

Ask her if it was the snack you ordered. Am I going to come all the way here to blackmail you?"

Yingge glanced at Ah Man and asked, "Ah Man, who is this person?"

Ah Man has been serving Ying Ge since she was a child, and the two of them have a perfect understanding. As soon as he saw the look in his girl's eyes, Ah Man knew that there was a change of plan.

Although Ah Man still didn't understand what was going on, she said tactfully, "Miss, this idle man was sent here by my servant."

After Ah Man finished speaking, he angrily said to Yang Yuan: "Didn't I tell you to wait in the hall? Why did you anger my daughter?"

Yang Yuan cried out loudly: "I was waiting in the hall, and this young lady came out from inside, saw me and asked me who I was and what I was doing here.

I told her, but she denied it and wanted to drive me away. Oh, you want me to leave without paying me. Did I work so hard for nothing? There is no such thing in the world."

Ah Man hurriedly explained to Ying Ge, "Miss, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to try the delicacies of Song State? I kept it in mind.

This morning I sent someone to the city to "order" some snacks such as sugar cakes, crab roe biluo, and honey sesame cakes.

I wanted to give the girl a surprise, so I didn’t tell her in advance.”

Yingge said with a straight face: "Then why did you leave him alone in the hall?"

Ah Man blushed and said shyly, "I suddenly felt a little urgent, so I thought I would go to the bathroom first and then ask you to give him the money."

Although she deliberately lowered her voice, Wanyan Quxing next to her could still hear it clearly.

He rushed over in a rage, but when he saw Yang Yuan slapping Qin Hui, he no longer believed that this was the adulterer Yingge had found.

At this time, listening to the conversation between Yingge and her servant, all his doubts were gone.

Wanyan Quxing was very concerned about his reputation. In front of his mortal enemy Yingge, he absolutely did not want to show that he cared about her at all, so that she would find something to use to make fun of him.

Wanyan Quxing said coldly: "Banjing Hall is the residence of our Great Jin envoys. We never allow strangers to enter and leave at will. Yingge, I hope you can abide by the rules in the future!"

Wugu Lun Yingge refused to give in: "Your lackeys had better not step into my yard. I hope you, Wanyan Quxing, can also abide by this lady's rules!"

Wanyan Quxing sneered and walked away.

Although there was another Qin Hui next to him, his whereabouts were secretive. In front of so many people, Wanyan Quxing could only pretend not to know him to avoid arousing suspicion.

Seeing that Wanyan Quxing was scolded away by her, Yingge turned to Ah Man triumphantly and said, "Bring him in to get the money. Who am I to refuse to pay him? Tsk!"

After Yingge finished speaking, she glanced at Eunuch Li and said calmly, "Li Yaban, I misunderstood this man and caused him to get into trouble. Please don't make things difficult for him. Send him away properly. Otherwise, people will think that I am bullying others by taking advantage of my power and am unwilling to pay even a few cents."

Eunuch Li quickly glanced at Qin Hui who was hiding behind the servant.

Qin Hui covered half of his face, lowered his head slightly, and showed no sign.

Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. We won't bother with idlers."

Wugu Lun Yingge raised her chin and walked back to her boudoir proudly. Ah Man hurriedly called Yang Yuan to follow.

When Yang Yuan attacked Qin Hui just now, he had already put the food box on the railing under the corridor. He quickly picked it up and followed Ah Man.

Eunuch Li saw that they had all left. At this time, apart from Prime Minister Qin, there were only a few of his trusted confidants.

Then he approached Qin Hui cautiously and called out nervously, "Saint Prime Minister?"

Prime Minister Qin took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, gently wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and said indifferently: "Send someone to check Yang Yuan's background!"

The Song Dynasty attached great importance to intelligence work, and thus developed a very mature intelligence system. The Song Dynasty had three main intelligence agencies.
One of them was the Privy Council, which was affiliated with the imperial court.

This is the most powerful intelligence organization in the Song Dynasty, with control covering the entire country.

The Speed ​​​​Room is responsible for all external intelligence gathering, foreign political, economic, and military intelligence, and the management of dispatched spies.

The second is the Imperial City Bureau, an intelligence organization directly under the emperor.

However, its scope of action was limited to Lin'an.

They focused on supervising officials, counter-terrorism and counter-espionage, and they also collected folk rumors and business trends to provide intelligence support for the emperor's decision-making.

The third is the military intelligence gathering agency of the border troops.

As for the National Information Service, on the surface it only provides services for foreign envoys and belongs to the diplomatic system.

However, most of the clerks and servants in the National Information Office were responsible for spying and monitoring and spying on the foreign envoys they came into contact with.

Qin Hui had been in charge of affairs related to Jin. After many years of operation, although the staff of the National Information Institute received salaries from the Song Dynasty court, in fact, they all belonged to Qin Hui alone.

Therefore, in order to confirm Yang Yuan's identity, the suspicious Qin Hui asked Eunuch Li to investigate.

Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately bowed and said, "Yes!"

Qin Hui pressed the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and started walking. Eunuch Li followed him hurriedly, his spine bending out of habit.

If Yang Yuan really just happened to be there, Qin Hui, who came incognito and was wary, would not want to bother with an ant-like character.

We are both prime ministers. Am I, Qin Hui, not as magnanimous as Wang Jiefu?

However, he had to first confirm that Yang Yuan was indeed just a coincidence.

He is old, and the most important thing now is not how to consolidate and expand his power.

But how to smoothly transfer his power.

The reason I came to Banjing Pavilion and conspired with Wanyan Zheng was for this matter.

He will decisively eliminate any variables or accidents!
