Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 196 Beloved Relatives and Friends
Leng Yuchan rarely has the opportunity to interact with the general public.

There was no opportunity like today where she could walk calmly, relax, and not have to use all her energy on guarding and vigilance on the road.

As for going to Shifeng Mountain with Yang Yuan yesterday...

Let’s not talk about that anymore. The car was bumpy all the way and her butt was numb for half the night.

This is the result. Xue Bingxin didn't let her have a good rest and kept nagging at her.

"Yuchan, listen to my advice, feelings are illusory. The water here is very deep, you can't grasp it!"

She said she was listening to her sister's advice, but Xue Bingxin kept nagging her for half the night, disturbing her from getting a good rest.

However, the car is really comfortable to sit in today.

Today, she was riding in a oil-cleaning cart pulled by a strong ox.

The carriage is spacious with rosewood panels.

The seat frame beneath you is not made of a hard board, but is tied together with finely woven rattan.

Then a soft cushion was placed on top, so that the seat became soft and elastic, not inferior to the high-end sofas of later generations.

Not to mention that the ox cart was already running smoothly, Leng Yuchan believed that even if the two big mules from yesterday were pulled here, her butt wouldn't hurt from sitting on this cart.

After getting on the bus, Li Shishi took off her "Qianlu" and Leng Yuchan saw her face.

After seeing Madam Li's stunning beauty, Leng Yuchan felt that it was natural for her to dress up as a maid and there was nothing wrong with it.

In front of this Madam Li, she is just a little girl of real value. Madam Li is a real woman.

Compared with others, Leng Yuchan seemed too immature. She was not worthy of being a woman, wuwu...

But Mrs. Li is so beautiful, I never get tired of looking at her!
So Leng Yuchan sat happily aside and secretly looked at Li Shishi.

People are just sitting there, yet they are full of charm!
I really don’t know how she looks like, how can she be so beautiful!
Leng Yuchan was just thinking about it when she suddenly felt the car slow down. There was a noise outside, mixed with some stiff and awkward Chinese.

Leng Yuchan immediately opened the side curtain and looked out.

She found that she should have entered the Fanfang.

The streets, buildings, and people here are very different in style and appearance from those of the Song people. At first glance, it is obvious that this is a place where foreigners live.

The car was blocked at the intersection, and in front of it there were two groups of people confronting and shouting at each other fiercely.

The group of people on the left were wearing costumes from Fuso and Goryeo, holding samurai swords and sticks in their hands, and looked very aggressive.

However, they should not all be wandering warriors, because their hairstyles are varied.

Some people shaved their heads like the military family's "moon-shaped topknot", while others kept the official family's "single-bun" style.

There are those who wear their hair in the "Honda bun" worn by ordinary people, and there are also those who wear their hair in the "Ginkgo bun" often worn by sumo wrestlers.

In short, the ingredients are complex.

On the opposite side was a group of Nanyang people who were thinner and darker than them.

This group of Nanyang people were holding Burmese knives, black rattan short sticks, and one-handed swords with forked blades in a V shape, and they all looked very excited.

The two sides were gesticulating and shouting at each other.

Since neither of them could understand the other's native language, they communicated in Chinese.

Leng Yuchan was immediately cheered up when she saw this situation!
The things in the streets are really interesting. How could one possibly see such interesting things in the palace or the Privy Council?

The oil-cleaning truck that Yang Yuan was riding in was originally following behind Li Shishi's car. As soon as the car in front stopped, he immediately asked someone to drive his car to the front.

As soon as the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, Yang Yuan was watching from the carriage.

Although the accents of those Southeast Asians and Japanese people in Chinese were a bit strange and stiff, Yang Yuan still understood it after listening for a while.

The reason for their dispute was probably that the Japanese had just opened a new tavern and stole the business from the Nanyang people.

For this purpose, both sides gathered a large number of people, and they were ready to fight if there was any disagreement.

Seeing that both sides had been arguing for a long time and had not yet started fighting, Yang Yuan began to feel a little impatient.

He was just about to yell at these guys who were blocking the way and arguing, asking them to move aside, when a Japanese man shouted, swung his long sword and started to chop at the South Asians opposite him.

The two sides officially started fighting.

Yang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to the driver, "Go forward and ignore them."

Yang Yuan had sent a request here once before, and he probably understood the status of these people from the foreign communities in the Song Dynasty, so there was really no need to care about them.

After saying that, Yang Yuan let down the curtain of the sedan chair.

Yang Yuan leaned back in his chair and thought, "That's it? Do Liu Guojiu and his men still need to check every Fanfang place one by one? Do they even have to dress up as women in the end?"

"These Japanese and Nanyang people are fighting each other just for the profits of a small wine shop. They seem to be covering up for the Jin people and doing smuggling business. This is too shabby."

The coachman was also a soldier in disguise from the imperial palace, so he naturally didn't care about the Japanese or Nanyang man. He drove forward and cleared the way for Li Shishi's car behind.

Once those Japanese and South Asians started fighting, they naturally dispersed. There were people chasing and fighting everywhere, and no one stood still, so it didn't affect the movement of the car.

A Japanese ronin chopped the arm of a Nanyang man who was wielding a black rattan short stick with his sword.

The man stepped back hastily and hit the wheel of Yang Yuan's car with a bang, causing the car to shake slightly. He took the opportunity to roll over and ran away with the rattan stick.

Yang Yuan slightly opened the curtain of the sedan chair and looked outside with displeasure.

The Japanese wanderer who was holding up his samurai sword suddenly saw a Chinese young man in the car looking at him with displeasure, and he was surprised. He quickly put away his sword and bowed 90 degrees: "Mo Xiwa, come over, Sa Yi Ma San!"

Yang Yuan listened, but didn't understand.

But you don't need to understand to see that this person is quite polite.

So Yang Yuan kindly pointed to him and said, "Be careful behind!"

The ronin turned his head quickly in the direction Yang Yuan pointed, and saw that something was wrong, the sneak attack was from the other side!
The ronin wanted to hide, but it was too late.

The Nanyang man who had just run away, with an arm full of blood, rushed over with a grim smile on his face, and swung the black rattan short stick fiercely, hitting him hard.

The ronin was hit on the forehead with a stick, screamed, and fell on his back.

Yang Yuan left, waving his sleeves, without taking a single cloud with him...

……

In the Pu family mansion, after Pu Yama finished singing the song "Sigh of the Elves", he waved his hand and asked the blonde girl and eight Persian girls to leave.

After everyone left, Pu Yama asked the servants to leave as well, and then he said, "I invited you, brother Wadiye, today, first of all, to celebrate your return home..."

Wadiye smiled and said, "Brother Pu Yama, you are going to settle in Quanzhou, and I am going back to my hometown, so we are going to leave Lin'an together."

"Besides, my ship has to go to Quanzhou first and stop to replenish some supplies. Isn't it too early to give a farewell party?"

Pu Yama laughed and said to Wadiye, "Of course, it's a farewell party, just for the sake of convenience. I have something else to discuss with you."

Wadiye smiled and said, "Please go ahead."

Pu Yama asked, "When you leave Lin'an, will your fleet help the Jin people take a batch of goods out to sea?"

Wadina said with a smile: "Brother Pu Yama, aren't you also helping the Jin people smuggle goods? We don't need to talk about this matter openly."

Pu Yama said: "No, no, no, this time, we must put it out in the open.

You and I are both helping the Jin people smuggle goods, and now, you and I are both leaving Lin'an."

"So, Jin Ren is looking for a new partner. But for a while, he couldn't find a suitable candidate. Therefore, the goods that need to be smuggled this time are very large."

Wadina turned the beautiful cup in his hand and asked calmly, "Why did you suddenly bring up this matter, brother Pu Yama?"

A sinister smile appeared on Pu Yama's face, which was full of age spots, and his voice became lowered.

"Wadiye, you are going back to your hometown soon. Don't you want to make a fortune before you leave?"

Wadiye's eyes flickered as he asked, "So, what do you mean, bro?"

Pu Yama said: "This time the Jin people need your help to carry a lot of goods to the sea, much more than usual, and they also asked me for help."

Wadiye raised his eyebrows and said, "So?"

Pu Yama licked his lips and whispered, "How about we join forces and take the Jin people's goods? Including the people and the ships!"

Wadiye's grey-brown eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems that there are some very powerful people among the Jin's escort personnel."

Pu Yama said, "So what? It's better to be prepared than to be unprepared. Even if he has great abilities, what can he do? If we tie him to a rock and throw him into the sea, he will die."

Wadiye lowered his eyes and thought seriously.

Seeing this, Pu Yama said, "You and I have been engaged in maritime trade for many years. In fact, we are both merchants and pirates. Why should we let go of such a huge fortune?"

"Golden man..."

"Of course the Jin people are not easy to mess with, but you are going back home soon, what are you afraid of? Can the Jin people chase you all the way across the vast ocean?"

Wadiye slowly raised his head and said with a smile: "Brother Pu Yama, why did you think of asking me to do this with you?"

Pu Yama said seriously, "You and I have been brothers and sisters for many years, dear friends and relatives! Of course we should share the happiness together."

"Secondly, although the Jin army is far away from Quanzhou where I am going, after the matter is accomplished, if I put all the blame on you, it will obviously cause less trouble."

“Third, the Jin people’s cargo was too huge.

The goods they are shipping from Shanyin are still being transported. If we eat up this batch of goods, it will be worth a life-and-death journey across the ocean!"

“The most important thing is, Brother Wadiye, your fleet can’t carry all their goods, and they asked me for help.

If I can't reach an agreement with you first, it will be difficult for me to eat them all by myself."

Wadiye rolled his eyes and took another slow sip of tea.

Pu Yama sighed and said, "Wadiye, I am already seventy-one years old, but I don't feel that my teeth can no longer bite meat.

Is your courage so weak now, brother Wadiye?"

Wadiye remained silent and just drank his tea calmly.

Pu Yama looked at him quietly and said, "How about adding two and one to make five?"

Wadiya remained silent.

Pu Yama said: "You took the blame for swallowing up the goods of the Jin people, which helped me solve a problem, so... 40% to 60%?"

Wadiye immediately burst into laughter. He raised his glass to Pu Yama enthusiastically and said loudly: "Come on, my dear brothers, I wish you and me success!"
