Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 241: It’s all the fault of the ghostwriter (another update for the screen capture leader)
The petitions submitted by Yang Yuan, Leng Yuchan and Luo Tingxia were sent to the "Yu Zi Room" at the same time.

Fei Yuye and Xue Bingxin picked up Leng Yuchan's petition at the same time.

Fei Yuye quickly glanced at the petition, then picked up the bell and rang it. A moment later, a clerk came in.

Fei Yuye ordered: "Go to the Imperial City Department immediately to find Mu Tiju and tell him that Liu Shangqiu seized a ship and went out to sea, caught up with the naval battle to capture the Jin smugglers, and made great contributions. Now..."

Fei Yuye frowned and said, "Now, he has gone to Shuangyu Island with Lin Dujian of the Qiantang Navy to suppress bandits. Remember, tell him privately and don't spread the word."

"Yes!" The clerk bowed and retreated.

Fei Yuye shook her head and said sympathetically: "Mu Tiju is also pitiful. It's really hard for him to have such a funny guy."

Xue Bingxin held the report thrown by Fei Yuye in her hands, her eyes wide as bells.

"Master, look here! Look at what the hell little Leng wrote. The whole article is praising Yang Yuan. She almost praised him like a flower! This kid is doomed. She has been deceived and has lost her way!"

……

In the Imperial City Department, Mu En sat there with Liu Guozhang, smiling like Maitreya Buddha.

But that smile was a little bitter.

If you think about it carefully, in fact only the queen's father can be called "father-in-law of the country", but Liu Wanrong was favored.

Liu Shangqiu's old father stared at Mu En and said, "Mu Tiju, are you telling the truth? Did my child go to Shanyin?"

"Of course!"

Mu En didn't even blink, and replied with a smile: "Deputy Commander Liu has always been brave enough to take on responsibilities. Lord Liu is naturally aware of his son."

Liu Guozhang said proudly: "That's right, my son has always been diligent and smart."

Mu En said: "Deputy Commander Liu repeatedly requested to fight, and I couldn't refuse. So, I asked him to take people to Shanyin to investigate the case.

Hey, Deputy Commander Liu is really something, you should at least tell your family about this, look how anxious you are..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guozhang immediately defended his son: "Mu Tiju is wrong. My son once said that the Imperial City Office is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and that family members and friends are not allowed to know about the cases they handle. How could you leak it to your family? Haven't you heard that 'if a few things are not kept secret, it will cause harm'?"

Mu En said ashamedly: "Ah! I was careless. Yes, Deputy Commander Liu acted cautiously and did a good job."

Mu En stole a glance at Liu Guozhang and said, "The petition from Shanyin has arrived. All the wanted criminals have been captured. Now they just need to be escorted back. Deputy Commander Liu will come back with the large group of people. Mr. Liu, don't worry."

Liu Guozhang was relieved and said with a smile, "Then I am relieved. I was in a hurry just now. If my words were offensive, please don't be offended, Mu Tiju."

"How could that be? This is human nature, haha..."

Damn it! I have 5,000 personal officials and 3,000 personal attendants in the Imperial City Department. There are 3,000 people in the Yellow Courtyard, Zao Courtyard, Inner Courtyard, Kuaixing, and Changxing. This is a big government office with more than 10,000 people!

If there is any slight disturbance, the parents will come and question me!

Mu En secretly wiped away a handful of sorrowful tears and smiled, "Speaking of which, I also admire Deputy Commander Liu very much. His character and talent are impeccable.

By the way, has Deputy Commander Liu been arranged to marry? Such a handsome and romantic man must be married to a high-ranking family."

"That is……"

Liu Guozhang said proudly: "My son is so handsome, who among those daughters of ministers and noble ladies would not like him?

In the past few years, my door has been trampled by matchmakers. I am really overwhelmed by the choices and I haven’t found the one I like yet.”

Mu En said: "I know that some noble ladies have just reached the right age to get married. I wonder..."

"No hurry, no hurry. My son is busy with state affairs and has no time to think about starting a family. Let's talk about it next year..."

Father-in-law Liu waved his hands repeatedly and decided that his sixth daughter would be given the title of "Taiyi" before the end of the year, which would be the first among all the concubines.

By then, the person his son would marry would naturally have to have a higher-class family background to be an equal match.

If his son had not already reached adulthood, he would be so anxious to have a grandchild and would have wanted to wait a few more years.

After a few more years, when his daughter becomes an imperial consort, the family for the marriage proposal must either be a family of officials for generations or a prime minister's family, otherwise he won't even look at her.

Mu En smiled and said, "Alright, alright. Actually, Deputy Commander Liu can first take in a few maids to accompany him to bed. With Mr. Liu's family background and Deputy Commander Liu's outstanding character, the family he will marry into in the future will not be picky."

Ever since Liu Shangqiu became restless, Liu Guozhang has become a frequent visitor to the Imperial City Bureau, and Mu En is really fed up with it.

In order to cover up Liu Shangqiu's whereabouts, he made up one lie after another.

Otherwise, he was worried that the old man of the Liu family would get angry, or run to the palace to cry and complain, which he couldn't bear.

The Liu family is now the only family in the thousands of hectares of land. No wonder everyone in the Liu family is so worried about him.

It seems that the only way is to remove the fire from the bottom of the fire, and let the king's uncle find a woman and give birth to a child, as hard as he can!

As long as there are more male members in the Liu family, the whole Liu family will not be in chaos if the emperor's uncle makes any move.

"Eh? That's a good idea!"

Liu Guozhang's eyes lit up.

If I let my son take a few concubines first and have them give birth to grandchildren for me, then wouldn't it not be too late to get married after a few years?

By then, my sixth daughter might become the imperial consort, and the family my son marries into will naturally be even more different!

I am really getting old and confused. I am so old now, and I won’t be able to give birth to a son even if I take a concubine. I should take a concubine for my son!
Liu Guozhang could no longer sit still: "Now that I know where my son is, I won't bother you any more. I'm leaving now!"

Liu Guozhang bowed, turned around and left.

I have to go back quickly to find some big and fertile girls to warm my son's bed. If things go well, Old Liu will be able to hold his grandson next year... Mu En stood up pretentiously, pretending that he didn't catch up with Liu Guozhang. When he saw him excitedly walk out of the signing room, he sat back down and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Dealing with this old guy is more tiring than pulling the stirrups for the government's horses!

Mu En patted his waist and was just about to cheer himself up to deal with the backlog of official business when the clerk from the Privy Council walked in accompanied by a royal soldier.

"Mu Ti Ju, I am sent by the Privy Council to deliver the news of Deputy Commander Liu from your company."

After the clerk finished speaking, Mu En's mood became bad again.

Did Liu Guojiu go to fight in a naval battle? After the battle, he came back and went to Shuangyu Island again?
孽 孽!
What sin did I commit in my previous life to deserve such a thing?

Someone come and take him away!
Mu En picked up an official document, but he felt so confused that he couldn't read it.

He slammed the official letter down and stood up suddenly.

Are you, Liu Guozhang, the only one who would file a complaint to the emperor?
This time I won’t wait for you to tell me, I’ll go first!

I won’t do this unless the government gets rid of Uncle Liu!

Huang Cheng rushed to the palace in a hurry.

……

In the Fish Room, Xue Bingxin was like an angry puffer fish, with her cheeks bulging.

She held Leng Yuchan's report in her hands, reading it from beginning to end, and from end to beginning, and her face became darker and darker the more she read.

In the petition written by that silly girl, she didn't say a single bad word about Yang Yuan, nor did she find any fault with his actions. In fact, her words expressed her utmost admiration for him.

This kid is doomed, he’s getting deeper and deeper into trouble, I have to do something about it!

Fei Yuye was looking at Yang Yuan's report. After reading it carefully, she handed it to Xue Bingxin with a serious expression.

Xue Bingxin sneered and flicked her sleeves, throwing the petition to the ground: "What can he say? He even coaxed Leng girl into bragging for him. Isn't his own petition just self-praise?"

Fei Yuye sighed quietly: "You... better take a look."

"Oh? Is there any other explanation? Let Leng Yatou help him blow the whistle, and he pretends to be humble?"

Xue Bingxin went to pick up the petition and sneered, "Isn't that too sinister?"

She picked up the petition, read it carefully, and threw it on the table with disdain: "What's so good about it!

As expected, he was bragging about how sharp his eyes were, how he made quick decisions, and how he turned the tide, without even praising our little girl Leng. How shameless, how shameless!"

Fei Yuye said, "Don't you want to see whose handwriting that is?"

"Ok?"

Xue Bingxin hurriedly picked up the petition...

"Is this... Leng Yatou's handwriting? Did she write Yang Yuan's petition?"

Xue Bingxin was horrified: "Have they become inseparable? Oh no, that Yang Yuan, could it be that he has used sweet words to deceive Leng girl into having her body? Have they... have they slept together?"

Fei Yuye shook her head: "Even if he has the intention, he doesn't have the time!"

Xue Bingxin snorted coldly, "Does that kind of thing take a lot of time? If he takes advantage of every opportunity, wouldn't Leng girl be completely taken advantage of by him?"

Fei Yuye rolled her eyes at her and said angrily, "Calm down! That Yang Yuan might be lustful, but...

Judging from his handling of the foreign merchants' sudden intention to 'rob the thieves', he is a person who can distinguish priorities and understand the pros and cons. "

"This man was able to make Leng Yatou, who was originally quite hostile to him, so quickly become devoted to him. It can be seen that he is a very scheming and powerful person. How could he be so desperate? However..."

Fei Yuye said slowly: "They are already in Yanpu now. If they stay there for two days, it's hard to say."

"It only takes half a day for a boat to reach Yanpu. Even if we go upstream on the return trip, how much slower can it be? Why should we linger there? No, I have to go and look after that damn girl. I can't let her get confused for a moment and make a big mistake!"

"Go ahead!"

After seeing Leng Yuchan's almost flattering praise for Yang Yuan, Fei Yuye began to feel uneasy.

Leng Yuchan has a pretty appearance and a colder temperament than Xue Bingxin.

Someone with this kind of personality is probably the hardest to get close to among the three of them.

But because of her personality, once she is moved by someone, she will probably get stuck in a rut.

In fact, Fei Yuye just didn't want Yang Yuan to interfere in her "Yu Zi Fang", especially she felt a little unfair about Yang Yuan snatching the promotion opportunities of Leng and Xue, even if he did it unintentionally.

So Fei Yuye didn't like Yang Yuan staying in her little piece of land.

Apart from that, she had no prejudice against Yang Yuan.

If Leng Yuchan was an ordinary woman, she would only bless and approve of him when he had a lover.

But... Leng Yuchan is a female official in the palace!
There is no future for her and Yang Yuan!

Besides, Bing Xin also said that Yang Yuan is already engaged. If he takes all the money and leaves, what will happen to my Yuchan?
So, she agreed without hesitation to let Xue Bingxin go to Yanpu.

As soon as Xue Bingxin left in a hurry, the secretary Liu Heling came in and said with a bow, "Master, I have received your invitation."
