Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Wang Hua was a seasoned veteran, having spent years mingling around government offices and naturally coming into contact with all sorts of people.

Therefore, he could see through Fu An's scheming nature at a glance. Fu An was just trying to take advantage of Fu An's desperation to get some benefits.

"Get out!" Wang Hua shouted coldly, cursing without any politeness, "Open your dog eyes and see who I am! How could I be fooled by your despicable tricks!"

Fu An, however, remained unperturbed by the scolding, still smiling as he said, "Master Wang, don't be angry! With your level of expertise, you've seen more of the world than I have. Do you think I could fool you?"

"Hmph! You know that much?" Wang Hua snorted coldly, turned his head away, and waved his hand impatiently, saying, "If you have nothing to do, go somewhere else to play. Don't get in my way here. I'm annoyed and don't have time to chat with you!"

"Hehe, I only came to relieve your worries because I knew Master Wang was troubled..." Seeing Wang Hua frown and about to scold him again, Fu An quickly said, "I'll only say one sentence, and then I'll leave. If you're not satisfied, Master Wang, I won't bother you!"

"Speak!" Wang Hua said, his eyes filled with annoyance.

Fu An chuckled and stepped forward, whispering, "I've heard about your son's matter. Actually, it's not a big deal. Right now, it's just that the Kaifeng Prefecture is intimidated by Grand Commandant Tong's power and wants to punish him severely! If there's someone who can speak on your behalf and mediate, this matter will surely be resolved easily and turned into a minor issue..."

"If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here!" Wang Hua interrupted Fu An angrily before he could finish speaking.

I need you to tell me how to do this!

If I knew anyone influential, I wouldn't be here sighing and complaining!

Who is Tong Guan? He is the number one military general of the Song Dynasty, a confidant of the emperor, a powerful figure who even Grand Tutor Cai had to show him respect!

Those who can speak to him are no ordinary people!

He can still put on a show of power in front of these ordinary people, but when facing the real powerful and wealthy, he's nothing!

Not to mention Tong Guan, even if he could talk to the judges and magistrates in Kaifeng Prefecture, he wouldn't be so worried and helpless!

Although we are all in the same capital city, we are from two different worlds!

Fu An smiled slightly and said calmly, "I am not very talented, but I am extremely favored by the officials of the Commander's Mansion!"

Wang Hua's expression froze for a moment, and his heart stirred slightly. Gao Yanei of the Palace Marshal's Mansion was known as a "playboy" who idled away his days, bullying men and women. It was indeed possible that a street urchin like Fu An knew him.

Although Gao Yanei was only the adopted son of Grand Commandant Gao, he was extremely favored by Grand Commandant Gao.

If we could persuade Gao Yanei to ask Gao Qiu for help, this would be a matter of just mentioning it casually!

This is feasible!

Seeing the change in his expression, Fu An knew that he had figured out the situation, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "I have said my piece, farewell!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Wang Hua couldn't let him leave so easily, so he quickly chased after him, grabbed Fu An's sleeve, and said with a smile, "Brother Fu, please wait a moment and tell me about the arrangements!"

Fu An paused, a smug smile playing on his lips. He pretended to decline, casually adjusting his sleeves, and said, "I have finished my ramblings and should leave now. I dare not continue to bother the old master."

Wang Hua knew he was being pretentious, so he immediately laughed and took out a bag of money from his pocket, stuffing it into his hand. He said with a smile, "It was just that I was flustered and spoke without thinking, underestimating Brother Fu's abilities. I hope you will forgive me. Here's some money for you to drink; consider it my apology!"

"How can this be? It makes me look like I'm here to beg for money!" Fu An shook his head repeatedly and pushed the money bag back.

Wang Hua blocked his hand, his eyes pleading, and said sincerely, "Brother Fu, please don't do this. Since you have such connections, please save my Wang family. My son's life and future depend entirely on your decision. In the future, if there is anything I can do to help him, I, Wang Hua, will do it without hesitation!"

Seeing that he had given in, Fu An stopped pressuring him and turned around. His playful smile faded, replaced by a more profound and worldly air.

"Since the old master has spoken so earnestly, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse!"

Wang Hua smiled ingratiatingly, cupped his hands, and said, "Brother Fu is so kind! This old man is deeply grateful!"

"Don't thank me yet!" Fu An waved his hand and said, "This was just a sudden idea of ​​mine. I haven't mentioned it to the young master yet, and it might not even work."

Wang glanced at the money pouch in his hand and thought to himself, "Is this guy trying to swindle me out of my money?"

Then he thought again, the money had already been given, and if he asked for it back now, he might offend him. If he really had such ability, wouldn't that cut off his son's way out?

Since it wasn't much money anyway, I decided to let it go.

If you're really deceiving yourself, you'll definitely hold someone accountable later!

Once the thought was made up, he flattered, "Brother Fu, you are too modest. With your abilities, how could you possibly fail! Even if you fail, I will accept it and will not implicate you! Please, Brother Fu, go ahead and save my son!"

"If that's what you say, Master, then I have no choice but to give it a try!" Fu An stuffed the money pouch into his robes, then said seriously, "However, Master, you should also be prepared that even if I can persuade the young master, the price will likely be considerable."

"Ah!" Wang Hua's expression changed, and he looked bitter. His family had already fallen on hard times, so how could he possibly offer any compensation?

Even if he borrowed from relatives and friends, how much could he borrow? If he gave that little money to Gao Yanei as a thank-you gift, it would probably make people think that he was deliberately humiliating him, which would backfire!

"Heh... You don't think Grand Commandant Gao's favor was given for nothing, do you, old scholar?"

Fu An looked at him with a half-smile, then took out the money pouch, handed it back, and sneered, "Since you haven't made up your mind, let's just drop this matter and save myself the trouble of offending the young master!"

"I've made up my mind, I'll save her!" Wang Hua grabbed Fu An's hand, his expression serious, and said in a deep voice, "Even if I have to sell everything I own, this old man will save her!"

"Very well! In that case, Master, wait for my news! I will return to you here tomorrow!"

Thank you for your trouble!

Fu An cupped his hands in greeting, turned and left, but instead of going to the commander's mansion, he went to find a few cronies and began to eat and drink heartily.

Wang Hua returned home restless, praying that Fu An would handle things smoothly, but also worrying about where the money would come from if the deal was actually reached.

His wife was still crying and wailing beside him, and her constant nagging only made him more agitated!

He tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep. Finally, dawn broke, and without thinking of anything else, he hurriedly went out to Kaifeng Prefecture to await news from Fu'an.

Wang Hua stood there looking around anxiously. It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that he saw Fu An walking towards him, reeking of alcohol. His face immediately darkened.

Fu An completely ignored his expression and, as soon as he approached, complained, "Because of your matter, I drank with the young master all night last night, and I don't know how many times I vomited. I almost threw up my gallbladder!"

A smile immediately appeared on Wang Hua's face, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting, asking, "How did the discussion go?"

"Done!" Fu An waved his hand drunkenly, completely unconcerned, and said, "Prepare five thousand strings of cash to send to the young master!"

"Ah! How much!" Wang Hua exclaimed in shock.
