Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 566
Construction was temporarily halted due to a dead body being found in the partition wall of the printing room.

Yang Yuan rushed to the Privy Council and found the crowded signing room in the "Quezifang" to ask. Yuan Chengju quietly told him that since the "Quezifang" did not have much work at the moment and the office space was too crowded, Liu Chengzhi was "slacking off" and was now at home.

Yang Yuan understood, but did not say anything, and rushed back to Liu's house.

When he left the gate of the Privy Council, the doorman Lao Qin just grinned at him but did not come up to him to talk as usual.

Although everyone did not think there was anything wrong with Yang Yuan arresting Zhang Mi, and even talked about it in private, everyone would instinctively keep a certain distance when they saw Yang Yuan.

This was not because he had empathy with Zhang Mi or a common hatred for the enemy, but simply an instinctive wariness towards someone who had the ability to hunt him.

Therefore, even the doorman Lao Qin, who was always very attentive to Yang Yuan, kept his distance. Everyone who saw this thought it was natural and proper.

However, only Lao Qin and Yang Yuan knew the truth, and this was only because Yang Yuan had already made arrangements for Lao Qin's children and grandchildren.

Yang Yuan never delayed in giving punishments, and he also did not delay in rewarding merits. The day after he got the information he wanted from Lao Qin, he asked Lu Xi to arrange a place for Lao Qin's children and grandchildren.

The doorman, Lao Qin, was extremely grateful to Yang Yuan now, but because of their close relationship, he deliberately kept his distance from him in front of others.

This is an instinctive reaction of worrying that the private relationship between the two will be discovered.

This instinct is even more true when it comes to relationships between men and women.

If a man and a woman have a special relationship, due to certain objective conditions, this relationship cannot be made public. When they meet in public, they may even behave more politely and distantly than a man and a woman in a normal relationship.

For example, Liu Wanrong.

Yang Yuan came to Liu’s house!

After Liu Wanrong found out, she was very anxious and restless.

She and Yang Yuan had limited time to meet in private, and now they were in an affair... and they were inseparable. If there was no chance for them to meet, it would be fine, but he was in her house, how could she endure it?
In this respect, she is not as good as Li Shishi. Li Shishi is such a straightforward person. If she feels it is not appropriate to meet someone in such an occasion, she will not meet him/her. If she wants to meet someone, she does not care what others think and will go ahead to meet him/her. She is very free and easy.

However, the ethical education that Liu Wanrong received since childhood made it difficult for her to muster up the courage to do such a presumptuous thing.

At this time, her "timely rain" came.

"Sixth sister, Erlang has come to your house. There are many anecdotes about Erlang when he was trapped in the North Country. Now that the real owner is here, let's go meet him and listen to him talk in person."

Good man!
Liu Wanrong held Yuyao Nu's hand, feeling extremely grateful.

She decided that no matter if the wife her younger brother would marry in the future had a fierce personality, or if her younger brother had fallen in love with another woman and neglected her, she would protect this woman and would never let her suffer any injustice.

"Okay, let's... wait a minute, I'll go get dressed so as not to be disrespectful in front of Jilang."

As Liu Wanrong spoke, she floated into the inner room like a puff of smoke.

Yu Yao Nu looked at her quickly disappearing figure and sighed softly.

When she saw Liu Wanrong's expression of surprise just now, like a blooming peony, she was certain in her heart that, as expected, Sixth Sister was secretly in love with Erlang.

Alas, why do you have to like Erlang when you can like anyone else? He has a bright future in the official career, and your former identity...

孽 孽!
……

There is a pavilion in the back house of Liu's mansion.

Yang Yuan and Liu Shangqiu were sitting in the hall, with two cups of tea and four plates of candied fruits on the table.

Liu Shangqiu stared at Yang Yuan, his eyes bigger than copper bells.

"So, Xu Hongcheng, the head of the Xuanzhiyuan's seal-printing office, is very likely involved in the fake Huizi case?"

"Not bad!"

"It is very likely that Kou Heiyi, the head of Chan House, is also involved?"

"Not bad!"

"Hiss~, Zhang Mi is also a member of the Privy Council. Are there any good people in this Privy Council?"

"Of course I did. I came from the Privy Council. You are in the Privy Council now."

"That's true!"

Liu Shangqiu breathed a sigh of relief and readily accepted Yang Yuan's statement.

He thought for a moment, and his face turned grim again: "Erlang, I have been ordered to reorganize the Quezifang and turn it into a special intelligence department targeting Xixia. There are many foreign affairs spies among them, who were transferred from the original Chanzifang."

Yang Yuan said: "The spy sent by the original Chanzifang is not Kou Heiyi's confidant or henchman, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Liu Shangqiu said: "The problem is that Kou Heiyi knows the existence of these people. You just said that the identity of this Kou Heiyi may not be that simple.

If…if he not only has problems, and is not just colluding with others to break the law for unjust gains, but is also a spy for the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom and Xixia are good brothers who would even think the same pair of pants is too big for them..."

Liu Shangqiu felt more and more uneasy. He stood up suddenly and said, "No, I have to go back to the Privy Council immediately and make adjustments to all the spies that Kou Heiyi knows..."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed over and shook his head, saying, "No, if I suddenly make a big adjustment to these people, Kou Heiyi will definitely be alert..."

Yang Yuan said: "If Kou Heiyi is just a corrupt official, there is no need to move these secret agents.

If Kou Heiyi is really a spy for the Jin Kingdom, these spies whose details he knows may not be useless. "

Liu Shangqiu looked at Yang Yuan in surprise at first, then he came to his senses and said hesitantly, "You mean..."

Yang Yuan nodded and said, "If Kou Heiyi is really a secret spy of the Jin Kingdom, in order to continue to hide, he will certainly not easily take action against these secret spies whose details he knows, so as not to expose himself.

Then, through these secret spies that have actually been exposed, you can make misleading judgments about the Jin Dynasty and the Western Xia.

Even if you do nothing, at least they are safe for now.

When we have the real evidence and decide to arrest Kou Heiyi, we can immediately send someone to spread the news and order all the secret agents who know Kou Heiyi to evacuate urgently."

Liu Shangqiu thought about it carefully, sat down slowly, and said solemnly: "I understand.

Well, from now on, I will be responsible for monitoring the behavior of Kou Heiyi and Xu Hongcheng in the Privy Council.

As long as they really have problems, I will definitely find out their true colors!"

As they were talking, a pair of jade-faced foxes came gracefully along the winding path in the forest.

A pair of beautiful ladies, both dressed like young ladies with long hair and misty braids.

She combines the grace of a young girl and the charm of a young woman, with a soft and graceful figure and a charm that penetrates the bones.

The visitors were Liu Wanrong and Yuyao Nu.

……

Today is the ninth day of the first lunar month, a good day to open a business.

Nine is the extreme number and represents eternity. So it is naturally a very good day to open a business.

This is what Han Qianchen said to pharmacist Luo Chengan.

Therefore, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the "Luo Ji Medical Clinic" was officially opened, which was separated from the Yang family mansion in Renmeifang by a courtyard partition of another household and became a separate house with two courtyards in front and back.

Wang Changsheng, Han Qianchen, Xiao Qianyue, and Mr. Qu all came to congratulate.

Mr. Qu Da selected the largest gourd from those grown in his own yard, tied it with a red silk scarf, gave it to Pharmacist Luo as a gift, and hung the gourd at the gate of the clinic.

Xiao Qianyue personally made an exquisite "goldfish talisman" as a gift for the opening of the clinic, and also hung it on the door of the clinic.

"Yu" (fish) and "Yu" (heal) are homophones, so medicine gourds and fish characters were standard equipment in medical clinics at that time.

Wang Changsheng didn't bring anything with him. He was the one who helped rebuild Luo Cheng'an's clinic for free, so why would he give any gifts?

As for Han Qianchen, Brother Han is rather poor. I have predicted an auspicious date for your opening, but it is reasonable for me to confiscate the divination fee and not give you any gifts, right?

The most generous gift was given by Lu Xi, the eldest lady of the Yang family.

Luo Yaoshi's friends who are descendants of the Southern School of "Jisitang" all have close ties with the Yang family.

Luo Cheng'an's pharmacy was located next to Yang's. When Lu Xi found out about this, he naturally wanted to send a generous gift.

"I am glad to hear that you have opened a clinic here to help the people and benefit the people of this town. My husband and I are extremely happy.

It's just that my husband is busy with official business and can't come to congratulate you in time, so he specially asked me to send you a gift, and I hope Master Luo will accept it!"

Although Old Man Song and Old Ji were also guests, Luxi was a married girl, and she came today to represent the Yang family.

Luxi took the gift box from Alihu and presented it to Pharmacist Luo with both hands.

Luo Chengan hurriedly smiled and thanked him: "Your Highness is so polite. How dare I, a commoner, accept your kindness?"

Mr. Qu smiled and said, "You should be polite to Madam for her kindness." He had watched Luxi grow up since she was a child. Now that she was married, it would be ok to call her Madam, but it would be too polite to address her respectfully as Princess.

Luo Chengan thanked him quickly, took the gift box, and turned to hand it to the clinic clerk.

This guy has an ordinary appearance and doesn't seem to be very smart, but he is honest and obedient.

This person was Yan Qingyu. Now he no longer pretended to be a traveling scholar, but had transformed himself into an apprentice, waiter and handyman of Luoji Medical Clinic.

There was also a female waitress in the store, who was Yue Peiying, who was still a hunter when she had just infiltrated the Song Dynasty.

Yue Peiying was dressed in blue and had a cloth scarf wrapped around her head. She was using her strong arms to push a bluestone millstone that was used to grind medicine, making a rumbling sound.

After they both arrived in Lin'an, they contacted Luo Cheng'an.

After learning that Luo Cheng'an was going to open a clinic next to the residence of their target Yang Yuan, the two of them suddenly had an idea and simply joined the clinic.

If Luo Cheng'an wanted to abduct Yang Yuan to Xixia safely, it would be impossible for him to do it openly.

Even if they act secretly, they have to make clever arrangements and try to delay the discovery of Yang Yuan's disappearance, which will help them escape.

Therefore, even if it was Yang Yuan himself who came to congratulate him today, he would not take action at this time.

Therefore, when facing Mrs. Yang Song Luxi who came to express her gratitude, Luo Cheng'an behaved very naturally and did not reveal any hostility.

When Wang Changsheng was building the mansion for the Yang family, he was also very familiar with Song Luxi. At this time, he was busy praising his old friend, "Pharmacist Luo's medical skills are very good.

"Old Ji has been receiving treatment from him and is now in good health. He no longer has to apply plasters all over his body when it rains continuously. These past two days, he has been treating your father and Old Qu."

After hearing this, Lu Xi was very grateful to Luo Chengan and kept thanking him.

Luo Chengan smiled and said, "I am a doctor. It is my duty to cure illnesses and save lives. Your Highness, there is no need to thank me.

I heard from Old Qu that your father has an old friend named Gou who is also suffering from injuries?"

Lu Xi said: "Yes, Uncle Gou, like my father, suffered from injuries sustained during years of military service.

But he is busy in another place because of a business. When he comes back, we need to invite a doctor to treat him. "

Yue Peiying sat in a corner of the clinic. With supernatural powers, she pushed and retracted her arms, pushing the medicine mill back and forth, making a whirring sound. In a short while, the medicinal materials in the mill were ground into fine powder.

However, she did not look at the millstone in front of her, but was secretly staring at Song Luxi who was talking with Pharmacist Luo.

Song Luxi was originally a petite and lovely girl. Now that she has taken good care of her body and spirit, her manners have become more steady and graceful.

But Yue Peiying could vaguely feel that the eldest princess of the Song Dynasty might not have very profound kung fu, but she had practiced advanced martial arts.

In all likelihood, what she practiced was an extremely advanced internal martial art.

Because she practiced internal martial arts, she was able to keenly perceive Luxi's uniqueness.

“Interesting, I didn’t expect this little food god is also a martial artist.

Although her father had some impressive external skills, he had never practiced internal skills.

So, she probably didn’t learn this technique from her father, so… who could it be?”

"If... she learned Kung Fu from her husband..."

Yue Peiying suddenly felt a little tricky. Could it be that the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty was actually a martial arts master who was proficient in internal martial arts?
……

Before discussing business with Yang Yuan, Liu Shangqiu had already instructed Yu Yaonu to go and pick up his sixth sister.

Even though Yuyao Nu wanted to help Liu Wanrong, she did not dare to take the initiative to bring her husband's sister and Yang Yuan together.

In matters like this, only Liu Shangqiu can make the decision.

Liu Shangqiu was not optimistic about the outcome of the relationship between Sixth Sister and Yang Yuan, but... he couldn't bear it after all.

Since Yang Yuan has come to visit, I'll find a reason to let Sixth Sister meet him to ease her homesickness.

The reason why he asked Yuyaonu to invite Sixth Sister so early was because Liu Shangqiu, who had lived among women since he was a child, understood women too well.

He knew that no matter how eager the Sixth Sister was to see Yang Yuan, she would definitely dress up first when she knew she could see him.

Even her original outfit was impeccable.

As expected, he planned very well in advance. He had finished the important business before Sixth Sister arrived.

The four of them sat and chatted in the pavilion for a while, then moved to the small flower hall.

Although the winter in Jiangnan is not very cold, it is not suitable for dining outdoors, so the banquet was held in the small flower hall.

With the Sixth Sister present, Liu Shangqiu and Yang Yuan no longer talked about business, and the four of them only chatted about light topics.

When Liu Wanrong and Yuyao Nu heard Yang Yuan talking about the thrilling scene of meeting Wanyan Yong, the governor of Tokyo, at Qipan Mountain, they couldn't help but turn pale.

Liu Wanrong said in disbelief: "How can there be such a paranoid woman in the world? It's really terrible."

Yu Yao Nu said: "I admire her courage to love and hate."

Liu Shangqiu said: "She is obviously a crazy woman, how can she dare to love and hate?

Paranoid, crazy, and incomprehensible. If I were to meet such a woman, I would definitely stay away from her. "

Yu Yao Nu made a face at him and said, "I know that what she did was wrong, but her true love and true nature are still admirable."

Liu Shangqiu sneered and said, "If a woman obviously doesn't like a man, and the man likes this woman unilaterally, he will feel that she owes him, and he will want to die for her. If he can't get her, he will kill her and then commit suicide. What do you say?"

This……

After Yuyao Nu became famous and became a prominent figure in Lin'an, how could she be without a lack of admirers?
But at that time she had already set her sights on Liu Shangqiu, and she was not polite to those men, and they had never gotten entangled.

At this moment, I put myself in his shoes and thought, if I met a man like this... wouldn't he be a self-righteous lunatic?

Yu Yao Nu was suddenly speechless and could only give Liu Shangqiu a cold look, but she knew she was in the wrong and stopped arguing.

Liu Wanrong said softly: "Even if someone doesn't like her, she can still be deeply in love with him.

But she just needs to quietly protect her love, because she wants people to give her love in return, otherwise she will hate the heavens and the earth and want to kill people..."

Liu Wanrong shook her head and said, "This is not called extreme love and nature, nor is it called daring to love and hate, it's just that her character is too strong and unruly, and she must get what she wants.

If others don't give, they will rob. If they can't rob, they will hate others. They would rather sacrifice their own lives to take revenge on others. I don't like such people. "

When Liu Shangqiu heard this, his nose suddenly felt sore.

"Just protect her love silently", is this... what Sixth Sister is saying in her heart?

Of the six sisters, I thought the sixth sister had the best marriage, but unexpectedly...

Sixth sister is so pitiful, but... Erlang has a bright future. If you, a woman who was once the emperor's concubine, really follow Erlang, and become his concubine, how can you let the emperor put his face? It will definitely affect Erlang's future.

For a moment, Liu Shangqiu was filled with worry.

When Yang Yuan heard Liu Wanrong's slightly sad words, he couldn't help but reach out and gently hold her hand under the table.

Their eyes met, and Yang Yuan gently pinched Liu Wanrong's soft hand.

He will definitely think of a way, and he firmly believes that he can think of it.

Yang Yuan is a crisis public relations expert. He can solve all kinds of seemingly unsolvable problems for others, but he can't solve his own troubles?

However, he naturally couldn't say it in front of Liu Shangqiu, but he believed that the considerate Liu Wanrong understood his feelings through her eyes.

When Liu Wanrong saw Yang Yuan's affectionate gaze, she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart.

Although her current situation is difficult and she heard that her parents have agreed to meet the matchmaker tomorrow, at least the man she likes responds to her deep affection. She is so much luckier than Shangguan Mingyue.

Liu Wanrong bit her cherry lips lightly, gently raised her legs, rubbed Yang Yuan's calves on the table ambiguously, and smiled shyly at him.

The jade-waisted slave's calves were suddenly rubbed up and down a few times, and all the hairs on her body stood up immediately.

That was definitely an intentional teasing, not an accidental touch. How could Erlang, how could he...

Huh?
Suddenly, she saw a fleeting glimmer of coquettish charm in the eyes of the Sixth Sister opposite her, and Yu Yao Nu realized at once that it was the Sixth Sister's feet.

Sixth sister...is Sixth sister so brave?

Yang Yuan was fine, Liu Wanrong was fine too, but Yu Yao Nu couldn't help but feel frightened.
