Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 141 God knows
On the third day, Yang Yuan had little food left and his water bag was empty, so it now served as a drowning device.

During these three days, someone came to clean the meeting hall every day.

Apparently, this is a place frequently used by several leading figures of "Qiyun Society".

However, during these three days, only the deputy director Di Jiuzhou and the recorder Lu Zang met here once.

At that time, Yang Yuan was a little greedy. He thought that if these two people showed up, then the head of the community, Batingzhang, would most likely come as well.

Unexpectedly, the two men only chatted for a few words and then left.

So much so that Yang Yuan didn't even have time to change his plan and had to attack them directly.

It now seems that if he continues to wait here, he can only survive for one day at most.

After one day, it’s not that he can’t continue to endure, but his physical strength will continue to decline, which will greatly affect the effectiveness of his attacks.

Tomorrow, tomorrow is the last day!

Yang Yuan decided that if he couldn't get them together tomorrow, then he would take the initiative tomorrow night!
Perhaps, the most successful result would be to kill one of the three of them, and then that would be the day he left this world!

Yang Yuan lay on the bed with his arms as a pillow, looking at the faint light that came in through the roof.

it's getting dark.

If I die, will I...not really die, but return to my original world?

Yang Yuan suddenly had an idea. However, the day he came into this world was on a rainy day.
It was on the rooftop of an office building, and it was raining heavily with frequent thunder and lightning.

He ran up to persuade the girl who was about to jump off the building to commit suicide because of their company's crisis management methods.

result……

Rainy days, thunder and lightning... perhaps these factors are the important reasons why he traveled through time and space.

But now the weather...

Suddenly, Yang Yuan felt a chill on his lips, and raindrops were falling from the cracks in the tiles.

It's raining?
Yang Yuan turned over and stood up. He wanted to close the roof tiles, but stopped immediately. He used the tiles to create an upward angle, and then opened his mouth to catch the falling rain.

My throat, which was about to smoke, suddenly felt cool.

At this time, he heard the sound of the door of the meeting hall opening...

……

Eunuch Li walked proudly towards the meeting hall.

It was drizzling, but he didn't hold an umbrella or wear a raincoat.

However, the three people, the village head Ba Tingzhang, the village deputy Di Jiuzhou and the recorder Lu Zang, who were holding umbrellas, just followed him and none of them helped him hold the umbrella.

Because Eunuch Li was wearing a full set of high-end rain gear produced by "Lanlingfang Oil-Coating Factory".

On his head he wore a light rain crown.

He was wearing an oilcloth raincoat made of soft, thin silk coated with tung oil.

Even the pair of boots on his feet had uppers made of fine silk soaked in tung oil and wax, and the outer soles were nailed with short iron nails to prevent slipping.

Just a pair of high-quality "oil boots" like this is worth a month's food expenses for an ordinary family of three.

Next to Eunuch Li there was a tall man wearing a full straw raincoat, whose head and face could not even be seen clearly. He followed Eunuch Li silently.

The four men walked to the door of the meeting hall, and the man in the straw raincoat took out a letter sealed with oil paper from his arms and handed it to Li Yaban.

Li Yaban took the secret letter and walked into the hall, followed by the other three.

The door was closed by the "Three Watch" killer who was guarding outside, and the sounds of wind and rain were all blocked outside the door.

The man in the straw raincoat turned his back and stood outside the gate.

An iron bone was revealed from under his straw raincoat, leaning against the bricks on the ground.

On the dust ceiling in the room, Yang Yuan had already used the tip of a knife to gently move the tiles back to their original position when the door was opened.

Then, he stuffed the last piece of dried meat into his mouth, chewed it slowly, inserted his hand knife, picked up the crossbow, and slowly crawled to the edge of the city wall.

The military council hall is not gorgeous, but it is quite heroic.

In the empty hall, there is a wooden screen with eight panels at the top, on which is a picture of General Pei dancing with a sword.

There are eight armchairs on the left and right, and two more in the front.

As the only chair in Chinese history named after an official title, this cross-legged chair with a lotus leaf supporting the head is spacious and extremely noble and elegant.

Between every two chairs, there was a small table with a mica surface, but the table was empty, with no snacks or fruits on it.

Obviously, Eunuch Li's arrival tonight was not a prior arrangement, so there was no time to prepare.

Ba Tingzhang invited Eunuch Li to sit down, and he sat on the first chair to his left.

Di Jiuzhou and Lu Zang sat on the chairs on the right side respectively.

Everyone sat down, and a graceful lady in red came out from behind the screen. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and was bright and fiery. She was none other than Miss Wan Fengyi. She came up with a tea tray in her hand, knelt down to Eunuch Li, and said softly, "The whereabouts of Li Yaban should not be known to others. In order to keep it secret, I have to serve tea in person. I hope you will not mind."

Li Rong smiled faintly: "Thank you, madam."

Wan Fengyi smiled sweetly, walked forward slowly, and served Eunuch Li a cup of tea first.

Then he served a cup to Di Jiuzhou and Lu Zangyi respectively.

Then she walked to her husband's side and put a cup of tea for Batingzhang as well.

She did not leave afterwards, but sat down naturally on the armchair just a small table away from Ba Tingzhang.

Under the corridor outside the meeting hall, several midnight killers were walking back and forth like wandering souls, their vigilant eyes darting around from time to time.

There were no tall trees or buildings within thirty feet of the meeting hall to block the view. Furthermore, with them patrolling like this, it was impossible for anyone to get close and eavesdrop on the conversations of the people in the hall.

……

"Everyone, Yang Cunzhong was too clever for his own good and wanted to arouse the emperor's fear of the Holy Prime Minister. As a result, he has now aroused the emperor's vigilance against him. The Holy Prime Minister has received news that the emperor has already intended to remove Yang Cunzhong..."

Li Rong placed the letter on the table, tapped it a few times, and looked at everyone with a smile. Although his status and position were far inferior to Yang Cun Zhong's, he felt very comfortable that he could control even Yang Cun Zhong, the palace commander.

It was as if he was the god who was high above and could decide people's fate.

"Just at this moment, this thing finally arrived from thousands of miles away, traveling day and night!"

He tapped the letter on the table: "This is God's will! The Holy Prime Minister has decided that there is no time to lose, we must act immediately and add fuel to the fire of the government. Our 'Moving Three Mountains' plan has officially begun..."

Yang Yuan quietly crawled to the edge of Chengchen.

He was afraid that the dust on the dust cover would fall down and alarm the people below, so the closer he got to the edge, the more careful he became.

When he reached the edge of the cave, he moved more cautiously and quietly stuck his head out to take a look.

From his position, he could just see the entire right half of the hall.

The first person that comes into view is the recorder Lu Zang, and across from him, on a small mica table, is Di Jiuzhou.

The eunuch Li, who was sitting at the top, sat on the right side of the two armchairs.

From Yang Yuan's position, he could only see Eunuch Li's arm resting on the armrest.

"Ouyang Lun, Qin Chumu, Li Defu and the other military leaders and ten generals are all abandoned pawns who were pushed across the Chu River and Han River!"

Eunuch Li spoke calmly, his voice even colder than the rustling rain outside the door.

Those military leaders and ten generals who were driven by interests and bribed and used by the great sea merchant Guan Hao would never have thought that from the very beginning, they were the bait used by Qin Hui to fish and he intended to send them to be swallowed by others.

What's even more ridiculous is that the ones who are going to devour them are not someone else, but another group of people sent by Qin Hui, the leader of these midnight killers.

Eunuch Li smiled and said, "You three have already held military posts in the Imperial Guards. You are here in the name of being stationed outside the Imperial Guards and managing the Imperial Guards' business.

"It's been ten years, right? You have to pay a certain amount of money to the Imperial Guards on a regular basis. Why? It's to support the army for a thousand days and use it for a moment. Now, it's time for you to rise to prominence."

Ba Tingzhang stood up excitedly, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Please give orders, Li Yaban, we swear to serve the Holy Prime Minister until death!"

Eunuch Li nodded and said, "This thing must be delivered to the military leader Ouyang Lun as soon as possible. He and Qin Chumu and others are currently changing the time of the palace guards. Once several important palace gates are replaced by their people, they will deliver the things to the palace."

Ba Tingzhang and the other three were very curious about the letter on the table and didn't know what was written in it.

Why is it that once this thing is sent into the palace, it will turn the official into a bloodthirsty lion and raise the butcher knife madly?

But, of course, they didn't dare to ask more questions.

Eunuch Li said: "When the time comes, you will go to the Palace Front Office to deliver the profit of the month and enter the palace. Yu Hou Shi Jiuxiao and Defense Envoy Xiao Shan will take you... 'catch them red-handed' and hand the things over to the emperor."

Madam Wan's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help asking, "Li Yaban, do you want to keep those military leaders and ten generals alive?"

Eunuch Li laughed and said, "Once they are discovered, they will definitely resist. How can we ask you to be tied up and beaten?

"It's not that you can't kill them, but it's also not that you can't leave any alive. It's better to leave one or two alive.

"Anyway, they only know that a noble from the Kingdom of Jin asked the sea merchant Guan Hao to find them and send something to the palace for the Queen Mother. They know nothing else..."

Madam Wan bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."

Eunuch Li said: "Ouyang Lun, Qin Chumu, Li Defu and others are all veteran soldiers in the three yamen. They were brought up by Yang Cunzhong, Zhao Mi, Cheng Min and others. They have such a big incident, and those old generals are not immune from the responsibility.

"The government will certainly launch a massive purge, and you meritorious officials will follow Shi Jiuxiao, Xiao Shan and others to replace those veteran generals and take control of the most elite armed forces of our Song Dynasty..."

Yang Yuan didn't expect that after enduring three days in Chengchen, he would hear such a shocking event.

The names of the military leaders and ten generals, Ouyang Lun, Qin Chumu, and Li Defu, were exactly the names that his eldest brother wrote down in the notebook.

After many twists and turns, and after many ups and downs, I heard their names again here.

This was the last case that my eldest brother investigated before he died.

It turns out that the ultimate source of this case was Qin Hui!
