Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 5 The First Business

Since Qin Hui was appointed prime minister for the second time, he had been able to get whatever he wanted for more than ten years. There was nothing he could not accomplish in the court.

But at the beginning of this year, when the final result of the "lock-in examination" came out, his grandson Qin Xun, who was sure to be the top scorer, was demoted to the third place.

Qin Hui worked hard for a long time to make his grandson the top scholar, but he didn't expect this to be the final result.

This may seem like just a small matter, but it sounded a wake-up call for Qin Hui.

Why does the emperor, who has always been generous with rewards to the Qin family, care so much about this matter?
Today, Qin Hui, as the prime minister, controls the political power of the Song Dynasty, while his son Qin Hui, as the privy councilor, controls the military power of the Song Dynasty.

However, the elite main force of the Song Dynasty was the Imperial Guards, and the Three Yamen Imperial Guards were directly under the emperor. The Privy Council was unable to control them, and the power of the Qin family was never able to infiltrate them.

This became Qin Hui's biggest concern, and the Three Yamen Forbidden Guards became the most unpredictable variable in his plan to smoothly inherit power.

So, when he was escorting his grandson all the way to the imperial examination, if a candidate blocked his grandson's way, he would defeat the candidate.

The examiner blocked his grandson's way, so he overthrew the examiner.

When he finally helped his grandson win the first place in the provincial examination, the great Buddha of the official family suddenly descended!
The Qin family's dream of producing a top scholar was completely shattered, and the fear in his heart was instantly awakened.

The government’s confidence comes from the three yamen imperial guards.

Then, he would find a way to capture the Three Yamen Forbidden Guards!

And what about Wanyan Zheng?
Over the past decade, Wanyan Zheng has been the Jin Kingdom's most tacit partner with him.

However, ever since Wanyan Liang usurped the throne a few years ago and massacred the royal family and eliminated dissidents, Wanyan Zheng's life has become difficult.

Wanyan Zheng also needed his support to expand his power in the north to stabilize the situation.

The two sides hit it off immediately, which led to today's secret meeting. At this moment, how could Qin Hui not be cautious?

Yang Yuan followed Ah Man back to the boudoir, and Ying Ge was already sitting down in an official hat chair with a golden sword.

A portion of the silver-colored ankle-length pants under the skirt was also revealed, highlighting the graceful curve of the calves.

She gave Ah Man a wink, and Ah Man immediately understood and closed the door.

Yingge looked Yang Yuan up and down, her eyes like a knife, as if she was pondering where to strike so as to kill the pig in front of her with one blow.

However, after a while of eagerness, Yingge's murderous aura finally dissipated, and she said with a straight face: "You said you have a way to help me, what is it, tell me!"

"Before today, I didn't even know there was such a person as you."

Yang Yuan said calmly: "Until now, I still know nothing about you, girl, I don't even know your name.

If I say I have a way to help you now, will you think I am just being perfunctory?"

Yingge raised her eyebrows and was about to explode, but Yang Yuan had already taken it over.

“I need to know all your conditions so I can prescribe the right medicine.

I said I have a solution because as long as you tell me your situation, I will definitely be able to find a solution!"

Ah Man looked at Ying Ge, then at Yang Yuan. She seemed to understand everything, but also felt like she was playing guessing game.

Yingge looked at Yang Yuan's confident appearance, hesitated for a while, and decided to trust him just for once, giving it a try.

"Okay! I'll trust you just once. But I can't explain it in a few words, and it's not appropriate for you to stay here for too long."

Yang Yuan immediately said: "We can meet in Lin'an City."

Yingge glanced at Ah Man and said, "Ah Man, which family did you ask for the food from? Can you find that family?"

"I can find it."

"If we find that family, we can find him, right?"

Yang Yuan smiled: "Miss, you don't have to knock, Yang will not run away." Yingge snorted and raised her chin proudly: "You are familiar with Lin'an City, you tell me the time and place, and I will go to find you."

Yang Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "How about going to Wang Mama Teahouse in Zhongwazi around 5:50 pm tomorrow?"

Yingge slapped the armrest cheerfully: "Okay! Now, get out of here."

Yang Yuan stretched out his hand and made a gesture to ask for money. Yingge pouted at Ah Man in annoyance.

Ah Man went to the back room, opened a money box, took out some money, came back and gave it to Yang Yuan, and placed all the food in his lunch box on the table.

Yang Yuan took the money and said amiably, "I have yet to ask you, what is your name, young lady?"

"Ugulunyingge!"

Yang Yuan clapped his hands and said, "What a good name. Miss Yingge, we at Youqiusi always charge very high fees for doing things for others."

"Problems that can be solved with money are not problems for this girl."

"In that case, I will take my leave."

Yang Yuan turned around to leave, and Yingge stood up from her chair and shouted, "Wait!"

Yang Yuan turned around in surprise and saw Yingge hesitant to speak, her face flushed red.

Yang Yuan understood at once and raised his hand, and the handkerchief hidden in his sleeve floated towards Yingge.

Yingge grabbed it in her hand and quickly hid it in her sleeve. Then she glanced at Ah Man guiltily and said calmly, "Get lost!"

Yang Yuan rode his donkey onto the Star Bridge.

This star bridge is built with pieces of bluestone, and is exquisite and solid.

The four drum stones, sixteen lotus pillars and every bridge railing on the bridge are all carved with intricate patterns.

The Pegasus with its head held high and its hooves galloping, the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate...

Under the bridge, boats and rafts were carrying firewood, bamboo, wood and grain to Lin'an City.
Or the boatloads of silk, porcelain, and tea shipped out of the city,

White gulls flew lightly over the tall masts.

Yang Yuan let out a sigh of relief, feeling refreshed.

It has been more than a year since I came into this world.

He was at a loss and confused at the beginning. After trying various methods and failing to wake up from this absurd dream,

I have accepted the reality of living in this world from now on.

However, how can a person who has seen the future be content with mediocrity?

Half a year ago he was thinking, what could he do?
During his days as a food delivery man, he was getting familiar with the world, observing the world, integrating into the world, and thinking about his future path.

Finally, he decided to go back to his old job and do "crisis public relations."

Crisis public relations has existed since ancient times.

It’s just that in this era, there are “timely rain” people who are eager to do good for others, and there are people who rely on relatives and friends to make a living and compete for personal gain, but there are no people who specialize in this as a profession.

He wants to be that person, but he lacks funds, opportunities, and connections... For this, he has been working hard to prepare.

So today, when Wugun Yingge held his throat with a steel knife and his life was hanging by a thread, he suddenly thought of using this opportunity to officially launch his Song Dynasty version of "Youqiu Public Relations".

When the donkey was on the bridge, a gust of wind came, and Yang Yuan suddenly had a feeling of "a roc soars with the wind"!
