Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 449 Restless Night

The song ends and everyone disperses.

Pushan Zhongyi said to Yang Yuan: "Today we are welcoming you, tomorrow I will invite Mr. Yang to go for a tour of Daming Lake!"

Daming Lake has many names, including Lishuibei, Lianzi Lake, West Lake, Daming Lake...

The name Daming Lake comes from Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Classic of Waterways" in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which mentioned that there was a Daming Temple on the shore of this lake.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, it was gradually unified as "Daming Lake". Later generations traced its origin and found that the earliest written record was found in a travel note by Yuan Haowen in the late Jin Dynasty.

Daming Lake is not far from Baotu Spring, and Yang Yuan readily agreed.

The "drunk" Wanyan Dari dragged Pushan Zhongyi and refused to let go.

Wanyan Darui shouted incoherently: "It's not fun, not...not fun. Master Zhongyi...sir, don't leave, let's continue drinking."

Pushan Zhongyi frowned and said, "Master Yang has been exhausted from the long journey, we should let the distinguished guest rest earlier."

Wanyan Darui said: "Then... let's go to your house to drink."

Pushan Zhongyi declined, saying, "Tomorrow I have to accompany the Song envoy to visit Daming Lake, so why don't we have a good drink together then?

If you get drunk tonight and don't come tomorrow, it would be rude."

Wanyan Darui said unwillingly: "With my alcohol tolerance, it doesn't matter if I drink ten more jars. The Song envoy is a guest, so I am not a guest, right?
You are the landlord, so you must drink with me."

Wanyan Lvti also stepped forward to persuade him, "Da Rui, it's getting late, and Master Zhongyi has been tired for half a day, let's drink tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I will pay for all the drinks. I will bring a few more jars on board so you can drink to your heart's content."

Wanyan Darui said: "Tomorrow's wine is tomorrow's wine, and today's...hiccups, wine is today's wine. How can they be confused?"

Pushan Zhongyi and Wanyan Luti tried to persuade him, but Wanyan Dari refused to agree.

Wanyan Darui finally said, "Forget it, I will stay at Lord Zhongyi's house tonight.

You give me some wine to drink, and then find two beauties from your house to accompany me, hahahaha..."

Pushan Zhongyi couldn't defeat this drunkard, so he had to agree.

At that moment, Wanyan Darui took his guards and followed Pushan Zhongyi away.

Wanyan Luti and Duke Yansheng Kong Zheng went to the Kong family's "second home" in Jinan.

Pushan Zhongyi and Wanyan Dari arrived at the back door of the Jinan government office and rode straight in.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Pushan Zhongyi dismounted, but saw Wanyan Dari sitting upright on the horse, motionless.

Pushan Zhongyi looked over and, with the help of the lamplight, saw Wanyan Dari sitting upright on his horse, soundly sleeping.

These people who have lived on horseback since childhood have the ability to gallop on horseback and sleep and rest at the same time.

When Pushan Zhongyi saw this, he could not help but feel angry and amused, so he asked the steward of the mansion to vacate the guest house in the left courtyard to accommodate Wanyan Dari and his followers, and then he returned to the inner house.

Wanyan Dari and his entourage were settled down, and the slaves and servants in Pushan Zhongyi's mansion dispersed.

Wanyan Darui immediately sat up from the couch.

He got down to the ground barefoot, opened the door, and saw two guards standing outside.

Wanyan Darui asked, "Have all the Pushan Zhongyi people left?"

One of the soldiers replied, "Your Majesty, all their people have just left."

"it is good!"

Wanyan Da Rui smiled sinisterly: "Leave a few people to guard the gate and the wall, and everyone else come to me!"

Wanyan Darui said coldly: "This king has matters of life and death concerning you and me, I will tell you!"

……

Pushan Zhongyi returned to the flower hall, took off all his clothes with the help of the maids, and jumped into the water bucket naked, splashing water all over the floor.

This big bucket contains cool water drawn from the well. Even in the hot summer, the well water is extremely cold.

But this well water has been there for some time, so the temperature is just right.

Pushan Zhongyi heaved a sigh of relief, took a few sips of the sour plum soup handed to him by the maid, and asked impatiently, "Where is Mr. Ye? Ask him to come."

Mr. Ye's name was Ye Zhiyan, and he was a retainer of Pushan Zhongyi.

This person has great literary talent and his articles are always brilliant, which makes him highly respected by Pushan Zhongyi.

After receiving instructions from Pushan Zhongyi, Ye Zhiyan, who had been sitting in the side room waiting for Pushan Zhongyi's return, hurriedly threw away the palm-leaf fan, picked up the manuscript he had carefully written, and hurried to the flower hall.

Pushan Zhongyi only had his head sticking out of the bucket. When he saw him coming, he asked, "Mr. Ye, have you finished writing the manifesto that I asked you to write?"

Although Ye Zhiyan smiled, he could not hide his pride and said, "I have carefully considered and drafted this article. I am confident that this article will not be inferior to Luo Binwang's "Petition to Punish Wu Zhao" in the past.

Sir, please look. "

Seeing Pushan Zhongyi soaking in the water, Ye Zhiyan hurriedly took back the manuscript and said, "Your Excellency is not convenient now, I will read it to you."

Pushan Zhongyi nodded and said, "Okay, read it to me first."

The manifesto that Pushan Zhongyi asked him to write was written in the name of Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti.

The content is not only an article of denunciation that was sent to the whole country, but also a letter in which Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti incited and instigated the powerful people in Shangjing to rebel.

Pushan Zhongyi had already copied the signatures and seals of Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti from the official documents.

Now all we have to do is wait for Ye Zhiyan to imitate Wanyan Dari's handwriting to write this article of treason, and then stamp it with a forged seal, which will be irrefutable evidence.

Ye Zhiyan has always been proud of his sharp and gorgeous writing style. He picked up the "Exhortation to Punish Wanyan Digunai" and began to read it in a rhythmic manner.

Wanyan Digunai is Wanyan Liang's real name.

Pushan Zhongyi closed his eyes and listened carefully. As he listened, he gradually felt that something was wrong.

Ok?
Ye Zhiyan listed ten crimes against Your Majesty in the name of Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti?

this……

Pushan Zhongyi felt somewhat uneasy in his heart, but he listened patiently.

Ye Zhiyan read passionately, listing the ten major crimes of Wanyan Liang.

First: Disloyalty, killing the king as a subject, and usurping the throne, are crimes that deserve death.

Second: He was extremely cruel and killed many members of the royal family.

Third: He was mean and ungrateful, and killed many loyal ministers.

Fourth: He had no sense of shame and took his cousins, aunts, nieces and nephews into the harem.

Fifth: Extravagant and lawless, renovating palaces on a grand scale.

Sixth: Abandoning ancestors and moving the capital destroyed the fortune and feng shui of the Jin Dynasty.

……

Under each point, Ye Zhiyan listed a large number of irrefutable facts and criticized Wanyan Liang to pieces.

Pushan Zhongyi broke out in a sweat after hearing this. Even though he was soaking in a large bucket of water, he felt hot all over.

"Don't read it, bring it to me!"

Pushan Zhongyi couldn't stand it anymore, so he interrupted Ye Zhiyan and asked him to bring the letter over.

Ye Zhiyan handed over the letter proudly, and Pushan Zhongyi didn't care that his hands were wet, he snatched it and started reading.

Pushan Zhongyi became angrier and angrier as he looked at it. You bastard, do you want me to die?

Frankly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Ye Zhiyan writing an article inciting rebellion in the voice of Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti.

Moreover, it is precisely because of this article that severely denounces Wanyan Liang and mercilessly exposes his scars that it is easier for people to believe that Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti really wanted to rebel.

However, if such a manifesto were really fabricated as evidence, not only would Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti be finished, but he, Pushan Zhongyi, would also be finished.

Wanyan Liang's magnanimity is not that broad, and he will definitely settle the score with him.

The more Pushan Zhongyi read, the angrier he became, and he laughed in anger: "Good, good, good, Ye Zhiyan, you write well.

Every sentence is like a knife, every word is like an arrow, which makes me tremble with fear and sweat profusely. "

Ye Zhiyan felt even more proud after hearing this, but he smiled modestly and said, "Your Excellency, you are too kind.

The student was just trying out his skills, and the time was too short, otherwise the student could have written even better. "

Pushan Zhongyi nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay, it's already very good, come closer!"

Ye Zhiyan hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Sir."

Pushan Zhongyi's face suddenly turned stern. He stretched out his arm, grabbed Ye Zhiyan's neck, and pressed his head hard into the bucket.

Ye Zhiyan was shocked and struggled rapidly.

But as a mere scholar, he had no strength to defeat a brave general like Pushan Zhongyi.

Soon, the turbulent water surface gradually calmed down.

As the last string of bubbles emerged, Ye Zhiyan's body drooped limply beside the bucket, his upper body still immersed in the water, motionless.

Pushan Zhongyi took a step out of the bucket.

The maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word or to go forward to wipe his body.

I am still furious at this ignorant bastard!
He is so ignorant that he will be a disaster sooner or later if he is kept alive. Just kill him.

However, after killing Ye Zhiyan in a rage just now, who could he ask to impersonate the handwriting of Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti?

Pushan Zhongyi thought for a moment and suddenly remembered a person, the bailiff of Jinan Prefecture, Lin Wei.

Lin Ya Shi was introduced to Jinan Prefecture by the Xin family. Pushan Zhongyi naturally gave him face and arranged him to be a Ya Shi in the yamen.

This person is good at writing, but I don't know if he can imitate other people's handwriting.

Time is urgent now, and this manifesto must appear to Wanyan Dari and others tomorrow.

Pushan Zhongyi stood there naked, and ordered, "Go, get Lin Wei here right away!"

Lin Wei is not yet thirty years old, single and unmarried, so he rents a house near the Jinan government office.

Soon, he was taken into the backyard of the Jinan government office.

In the study, the light illuminated half of Pu San Zhongyi's face, which looked gloomy.

There was a knife lying across the table, its brass blade shining brightly under the light.

As soon as he saw Lin Wei coming in, Pushan Zhongyi threw several official documents over to him without saying a word.

"Look, this official document's handwriting, can you imitate it?"

Lin Wei's eyes lightly swept across the knife on the table, and a hint of weirdness appeared in his eyes.

He bent down and picked up the document in a panic.

These are several official documents sent by Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti to Jinan Prefecture, asking for various benefits from Pushan Zhongyi.

Ever since they reluctantly moved from Shangjing to Shandong, they felt that the court had treated them unfairly.

Therefore, the two of them often made up excuses to ask for various benefits and conveniences from the state government.

In order to attract Pushan Zhongyi's attention, these official documents requesting benefits were written by them personally.

Lin Wei casually glanced at the two official documents and replied affirmatively: "Your Excellency, I can imitate this handwriting."

When Pushan Zhongyi heard this, he immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Pushan Zhongyi said happily: "Good! You have been in the government office for more than a year, right? You are very diligent in your work.

This government will now promote you to the position of Deputy Commander of the Tuanlian Army of Jinan Prefecture. From now on, you will assist this government in catching thieves and robbers in Jinan."

In the Song Dynasty, there are two ways to become an official: imperial examination and recommendation.

The situation in the Jin Dynasty was similar, and it was even more casual than that in the Song Dynasty.

Pushan Zhongyi could appoint and dismiss local low-level officials such as the deputy envoy of the militia on his own.

Although the Deputy Envoy of the Militia was only a low-ranking military officer, he was a military officer who assisted his superiors in commanding the local self-defense forces and was responsible for the local security of the entire Jinan Prefecture.

Lin Wei has been arranged by the "Six Thousand Society" to infiltrate Jinan Prefecture for more than a year.

"Six thousand" is formed by splitting the character "辛" into two parts.

The "Six Thousand Society" is the largest smuggled salt gang in Shandong Road secretly run by the Xin family.

However, this kind of word-splitting association is too obscure, and the Jin people are not familiar with this kind of word-splitting game.

Even when hearing the name "Six Thousands Society", most people's first thought is "Salt smugglers with six thousand members?"

It is hard for anyone to associate the old and young Xin family members with each other in Sihengzha Village.

In the past, when Lin Wei worked as a bailiff, he could only tip off the "Six Thousand Society".

Now he is the deputy envoy of the militia, an official who is directly responsible for catching thieves and robbers.

If the government wants to catch private salt dealers in the future, they will have to rely on him.

Lin Wei's face was filled with excitement. He crossed his arms and saluted, saying, "Since Your Excellency values ​​me so highly, I am willing to die for you."

Pushan Zhongyi smiled and waved his hand, saying, “This government does not need you to die.

Come, follow my instructions and write a letter imitating the handwriting of Wanyan Darui, and sign it in the handwriting of Wanyan Darui and Wanyan Luti. "Pusan ​​Zhongyi stood up, holding the knife, and pointed to his seat.

Lin Wei was a little confused. Would this guy wait until I finish writing the letter and then kill me to silence me?

He walked over carefully, spread out a piece of paper, and picked up a pen.

Pushan Zhongyi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the capital, a disaster is about to happen, don't you realize it?

Think about how free and easy we are, living in the land of white mountains and black waters all our lives.

Today, Wanyan Digu is in power, and his ambition is to rule the world. He is enough to destroy the foundation of your and my family.

Digu is a man of great ambition and talent, and he will never tolerate you and me constantly making excuses and hindering his ambition to unify the world.

If this continues, the consequences for us will be disastrous. Now, Donkey and I have been forced to move to Shandong, where we have lost our foundation and are at the mercy of others. This is a lesson for you all..."

what?
The secret letter of the rebels who are colluding to rebel, is praising the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty between the lines?
What does it matter? Our Great Jin Emperor is wise and brave, and he has great ambitions to conquer the world!

Isn't this a fact recognized by the world? Who dares to find fault with it?
Why do we have to enumerate the crimes of His Majesty the Emperor?

It's our selfish motives that are at work. We don't want to hand over power, so we want to rebel.

What? It's illogical! What logic do you want!

I just need a crime that is roughly justifiable and can be pinned on Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti.

Only a fool like Ye Zhiyan, who has become stupid from reading too many books, would seriously list the sins of our Great Jin Emperor in order to seek logic.

Lin Wei, you said and I wrote, without changing a single word.

In fact, this style, which is closer to vernacular, is more like the way Wanyan Luti and others speak.

Although the article secretly praised Wanyan Liang and described their motives for rebellion as being too despicable.

However, at worst, we can just not use it as a manifesto.

Doesn't it make sense to just regard it as a secret letter between these powerful people who want to rebel?

After a while, the secret letter was written.

Pushan Zhongyi took it and read it carefully, then took the previous official documents of Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti, compared them carefully, and couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, you're really a talented person!"

Pushan Zhongyi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I have compared them for a long time, but I can't see any difference."

Pushan Zhongyi said with satisfaction: "Okay, you can go back. You will be promoted to the deputy commander of the militia in Jinan Prefecture tomorrow!"

Lin Wei has been secretly building up his strength in case of any unexpected event.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Pushan Zhongyi had no intention of killing people to silence them.

He quickly expressed his loyalty to Pushan Zhongyi, which made Pushan Zhongyi feel so embarrassed that he got goose bumps.

Pushan Zhongyi laughed and scolded, "Get out of here! Remember, don't keep tonight's incident to yourself. Otherwise, I will make you taste the sharpness of my sword!"

……

The Kong family's second residence.

Wanyan Luti was holding a lantern and walking slowly inside the huge room.

This huge space, like an underground palace, is warm in winter and cool in summer, with a constant temperature throughout the year, making it very suitable for storing things.

Wanyan Lvti looked at the rows and rows of jars and exclaimed in admiration: "Duke Yansheng, your family is indeed very wealthy! Compared to you, I am just like a beggar!"

Looking at the endless jars, Wanyan Lvti exclaimed: "There are so many for daily use, including wine, sesame oil, and vegetable oil."

Wanyan Lvti shook his head repeatedly: "This is just your family's villa in Jinan, a place where not many people usually come and go, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

Kong Zheng was held at knifepoint by two of Wanyan Lvti's followers. He cried, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? I have always been on good terms with you, Your Majesty. Why are we now at war?"

Wanyan Lvti said with a smile: "Duke Yansheng, don't worry, I will not hurt you, nor do I intend to seize your family's property. It's just..."

Wanyan Lvti turned to Kong Zheng and said viciously, "Wanyan Liang is not a man! He regards us, the heroes who helped him build his kingdom, as thorns in his side and wants to eliminate us in one fell swoop."

Wanyan Lvti gnashed his teeth and said, "You are unkind and I am unjust! I will not sit back and do nothing.

If he wants to force me to rebel, then I will rebel in front of him. Tomorrow, the king will do something, so I will lend you a few jars of fragrant oil to use."

Wanyan Lvti ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, swap the seals on the wine jars and the sesame oil jars. Replace twenty jars for me. After that, take the oil jars out and load them onto the truck for use."

Wanyan Luti's followers agreed and started to move.

Kong Zheng didn't expect to hear such terrible news. Wanyan Luti was going to rebel?

Kong Zheng immediately regretted it and thought, "I was so blind that I would never be friends with him."

However, Kong Zheng felt a little relieved when he heard that Wanyan Luti was concerned about his identity and had no intention of doing anything bad to him.

Kong Zheng immediately started thinking: "The king's grievances... Oh! I can't comment on it.

This is your Wanyan family's grudge, Kong is an outsider...

However, ever since the king moved to Shandong, Kong and the king have always been friendly.

The king, remembering our old friendship, did not want to harm me, and I am grateful. But..."

Kong Zheng took two steps forward and said with an apologetic smile: "It's just that the king took away the oil, so I guess...

It was a big thing to do. The oil was taken from the Kong family. How would Kong explain to the court afterwards?

So, I have an unwelcome request. Could you please tie me up when you leave, my king?
If I hit him a few more times, or if I get a cut on his leg, that would be good..."

Wanyan Lvti glared at him and shouted, "Why are you wasting your energy? You are the Duke of Yansheng.

When I leave, I will naturally take you with me, why would I tie you up?"

In the huge chamber, Kong Zheng cried out in despair: "My Lord, where are you taking me~Ah~Ah~~?"

……

Yang Yuan saw the guests off and returned to where he was staying to take a bath.

After the smell of alcohol and heat disappeared from his body, he changed into a light long gown and returned to the main room.

It was already late at night, and the evening breeze finally had a hint of coolness.

In the main hall that runs from north to south, the wind slowly enters through the green gauze windows, giving people a rare sense of freshness.

"Master, the fat girl is here."

A thin soldier flashed in through the door.

Although "he" looked like a man, he did not conceal his true voice in front of Yang Yuan. This was the voice of Tsubakiya Konai.

Xiaonai's disguise skills are much better than Fei Yuye's.

When her voice changed to a man's, it was really hard to tell that she was a woman.

As for Fei Yuye, she was much inferior. After being disguised, Fei Yuye had a neutral appearance that was difficult to distinguish between male and female.

Yang Yuan nodded and said, "Ask her to come in. You and Hua Yin go take a shower separately. There should always be someone outside to be on guard. Don't be careless."

"Yes!"

Xiaonai still looked like a man, but he suddenly became shy.

She bit her lower lip and said shyly, "Master, do you need Xiaonai to serve you tonight?"

Yang Yuan sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's too hot..."

Xiaonai's ginger face was slightly rosy: "Xiaonai likes to see the master sweating.

The beads of sweat on the master's chest looked like golden pearls under the light."

Xiao Nai narrowed her eyes in ecstasy: "It tastes like pearls just fished out of the sea, with a hint of saltiness."

Having said that, Xiaonai stretched out her flexible tongue and gently licked her lips.

Yang Yuan suddenly felt that the night was not so cool.

"Go take a bath, and prepare more water, I need to take another bath."

Xiao Nai was very excited: "Yes, Master, I understand, Master."

Xiao Nai turned around and walked away lightly, with a man's body but twisting his buttocks like a woman, with the rhythm of his buttocks lingering...

……

Fei Yuye was still dressed as a soldier and had never bathed.

After bathing, it takes a long time to change into disguise again.

If I don't disguise myself, I might be caught by the servants here, and things might get really bad.

After all, Fei Yuye has been working in the intelligence department for a long time.

Although she was just an office clerical manager, she had heard about things she had not done, and being in the enemy camp, she had to be vigilant.

When Yang Yuan saw Fei Yuye coming in, he chuckled at her and said, "Fei Chengzhi, I didn't expect that finding and rescuing your father would be so easy, right?"

As he said that, Yang Yuan gave her his seat.

There was a cup of fragrant tea that Xiaonai had just brewed on the table, and Yang Yuan poured her a cup.

Yang Yuan asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

When Yang Yuan was drinking and toasting in "Luoyuan Hall", Fei Yuye was standing guard in front of the door.

"Ate."

Fei Yuye said this, curling the corners of her mouth slightly.

It was she who helped get Yang Yuan into the machine room. At that time, she was Yang Yuan's boss.

Who would have thought that I would become his gatekeeper now.

Yang Yuan asked, "You came here so late at night, but do you have something to discuss with me?"

Fei Yuye said: "It's about my father. I just had a brief chat with my father.

My father wanted to accompany us to Yanjing, and then return to Song Dynasty together."

Yang Yuan sighed and said, "If you hadn't come to the Northern Kingdom, your father could have been sent back quietly with the help of the Xin family.

Now that you are in the delegation, your father will certainly not leave on his own."

Fei Yuye said, "That's exactly the reason. So, let me ask, is there any way to get my father to go to Yanjing with us?"

Yang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If it were up to me, I would rather have you accompany your father back to the Song Dynasty from the Xin family.

However, the number of Jin people in the delegation is known, if one of them is missing suddenly…”

Yang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "How about this, after touring Daming Lake tomorrow, I will buy some local products. Then I will need to hire some people to drive the carts and transport the goods, and let your father sneak in."

It’s just that your father has already shown up as an attendant of the young master of the Xin family.

When you come to apply for the job again, you will need to disguise yourself. Is your father good at this?"

Fei Yuye said: "My father is in charge of the 'Skinning Office' and often travels to other countries to carry out important tasks. Naturally, he is proficient in the art of disguise."

At this moment, Xiaonai suddenly poked her head out from behind the screen.

She had already taken off her makeup, and her pretty face had a charming blush.

The exposed shoulder was bare, and it was obvious...she was not wearing any clothes at the moment.

"Master, the water is ready."

Didn’t I tell you to take a shower first? Are you planning to take a bath with me?
When Fei Yuye heard this, her face turned red and she secretly cursed Yang Yuan for being a playboy.

But now that I owe someone a favor, it’s hard to show it.

She was not someone who didn't know what to do, so she stood up and said, "That's settled, Yuye, goodbye."

Yang Yuan stood up to see him off, and when he reached the courtyard, he said, "It is inconvenient here, so I will not see you off any further."

Fei Yuye waved her hand and walked into the shade of the trees.

Yang Yuan turned around quickly, with the ties of his light robe untied.

This girl Xiaonai is so bold in front of Fei Yuye. It seems that she really needs to be taught a lesson.

Fei Yuye turned around as the path was about to turn, and just in time saw Yang Yuan's back as he turned around, unbuttoned his robe, and walked quickly towards the hall.

Although Yang Yuan's robe had not been completely taken off, his strong and muscular back was already exposed.

When Fei Yuye saw him, her heart was immediately moved.

Yang Yuan's back quickly overlapped with the man's back that night.

It's him! it's him!

He is Ganniang Li’s man!
Tsk! I can’t acknowledge this godmother anymore. If I acknowledge Li Shishi, then she will become mine…

"Hey!"

Fei Yuye stepped into the water pool ahead...
