Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 568: Troops Not Moved
Yang Yuan went to Zhu Zhuo in a sick mood to ask for leave.

When Zhu Zhuo saw Yang Yuan's appearance, he had no doubts and immediately approved the leave.

Upon hearing that Yang Yuan was ill, Left Vice-Censor-in-Chief Xiao Hongji, Right Censor-in-Chief Tan Qi, and Left Assistant Censor-in-Chief Wang Chenkun came to inquire about him.

Yang Yuan is now a star in the Censorate, and has brought great honor to the Censorate. His colleagues all have a good impression of him, at least on the surface.

Yang Yuan exchanged some pleasantries with his colleagues, then left the Censorate with Liu Dazhuang in a light-footed manner.

The sedan chair that Dazhuang had hired specially for him was parked there.

Liu Dazhuang helped Yang Yuan onto the sedan chair and they left.

Everyone thought he had gone home to recuperate, but Yang Yuan soon showed up at Prince Jin's Mansion.

"What? You want to take a concubine? My little sister has only been married for half a month, and you want to take a concubine now? It's fine if you take a concubine, but don't make it public. You still want to invite me to dinner?"

King Zhao Ju of Jin slammed the table and said: "Killing people also requires destroying their hearts?"

Yang Yuan was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, your reaction shouldn't be so violent, right? You said you have so many concubines, but you only allow the officials to set fires, but not the people to light lamps, don't you?"

Miss Handan, who was sitting in Zhao Yu's arms, giggled and said, "Erlang, you don't know that my king once fell in love with Miss Bingxin, but Bingxin rejected my king. Now she is willing to be your concubine. You even want to invite my king to your wedding..."

Is this happening?

Yang Yuan looked at Zhao Yu in surprise.

Zhao Yu's face turned red: "A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman. What are you looking at?"

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "I am looking at a gentleman, and there is a lady in the gentleman's arms."

After hearing this, Handan covered her mouth and giggled, glanced at Yang Yuan with seductive eyes, and twisted her round buttocks a few times, pretending to be shy.

Zhao Yu was so annoyed by her that he slapped her away. Yang Yuan then straightened his face and said, "I have something else to tell you first, so you can be prepared."

Zhao Yu lamented, "I knew you came to me not just to have a drink. What trouble do you need my help with?"

Yang Yuan said solemnly: "This matter is a big trouble for me, but once it is accomplished, it will be a major event that will satisfy the people of the world, the generals of the world, and even more satisfy the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Yu immediately sat up straight and said with interest, "Tell me about it."

……

Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The troupe leader Yue Guanyue wrote the script overnight and planned to rehearse it into a new play, which would be officially released on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so he was very busy that day.

While he was busy, he was taken away by two mysterious men.

Then, he appeared in Prince Jin's Mansion.

When he saw that it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin who wanted to see him, Boss Yue immediately complained, "My Lord, I have listened to your advice now and will only shoot the kind of dramas you mentioned. Oh, yes, sweet and refreshing dramas, but no sadistic dramas at all.

Not only is the protagonist of the villain's play not abused, the protagonist's woman is not abused, and even the people around the protagonist dare not be abused. Why did the king come to find bad luck with the villain? "

"Goose, goose, goose, what are you talking about, Boss Yue? Did I ever tell you not to abuse people in a play? Artistic creation is free, how could I interfere?"

"Haha, yes."

"That's right. All the plots are meant to serve the theme of the play. Only necessary cruelty can make it memorable."

"Haha, your Majesty is right."

"Hey, I have a story now. I want you to torture me. No, I want you to act it out?"

"Oh?"

Boss Yue immediately became alert. This king had the face of a dog. He could change at any time and he had to be on guard.

King Jin said: "Recently, the Privy Council was renovating its official residence and accidentally found two bodies inside the wall, a woman and a child.

You have heard about this, right? I want you to film this story."

When troupe leader Yue heard this, he was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I am preparing a new play, which is adapted from this incident."

King Jin's eyes lit up: "There is such a thing, how do you plan to shoot it? Tell me quickly."

It was rare for Banzhu Yue to agree with King Jin, so he immediately perked up and began to explain.

After hearing this, the King of Jin shook his head again and again: "Superficial and childish, no matter how well you shoot it, it can't cover up its cheap and perfunctory nature."

Boss Yue was stunned. My drama was filmed faithfully based on real events.

It took only 24 hours from the discovery of the body to the solving of the case, and finally the real murderer was brought to justice.

The plot is so tightly linked and compact that people were so excited during the internal rehearsal.

Is it... is it as bad as the king said?
King Jin said: "The bad guy was brought to justice. What happened next? Was he sentenced to death or something? Did you write it down?
It should be profound, make people reflect, and make people angry. Ordinary people’s justice has no halo. If there is any, it is anger, and anger is the power of justice.”

Although Zhao Qu himself only had a vague understanding of this sentence, he felt that it sounded elegant, like a witty remark from an old monk.

So after Yang Yuan said it just now, he remembered it clearly. When he said it now, Banzhu Yue was stunned. When His Royal Highness Prince Jin saw it, he immediately felt a sense of superiority.

Yue Banzhu stammered, "Then...then according to Your Majesty, how can we make it...more profound?"

Zhao Yu laughed again: "I'll give you an idea. If you shoot it according to what I say, you have to make everyone who watches your play rush out of your brothel like an angry pufferfish. Then your play will be a success!"

Su Qiao, the supervisor of the imperial court's "Jinzouyuan", has been given a holiday today.

However, he also has a side job as the editor-in-chief of "Lin'an Tabloid".

He was compiling the content for tomorrow's tabloid at home. The imperial court could take a holiday, but his Lin'an tabloid could not.

However, during the New Year holidays, there are really not many new and interesting things to talk about, and there is still a large blank space on the page.

He was just wondering whether he should make up an erotic story to make up the number when someone came to report that Mr. Qu Da was here to visit.

Mr. Qu Da is now a celebrity in the Lin'an actor circle. His books have supported countless storytellers.

Countless dramas, songs and dances have been derived from his storytelling.

There was no reason for Editor-in-Chief Su not to recognize such a famous figure in the performing arts circle.

He quickly invited Mr. Qu into the study, served him tea, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Qu, why did you come to visit me today?"

Qu Jianlei said: "Brother Su, although I am just an ordinary man, I cannot stand the injustice in this world.

I heard something today, and I feel very upset. However, it is too slow to show the effect of accusing him of wrongdoing by storytelling.

Therefore, I visited Brother Su today, hoping that he could use the power of the tabloids to spread the news widely. "

Su Qiao was overjoyed, because the tabloid was just having a leak when Mr. Qu Da sent it the story.

Su Qiao asked quickly, "Brother Qu, what unfair things have you heard? Tell me about it."

Qu Jianlei said: "Today, the Censorate returned a ruling from the Dali Temple. The reason is..."

The more Su Qiao listened, the brighter his eyes became.

Are the Censorate and the Dali Temple fighting each other?
What a good thing!

Is it a big deal?
As a tabloid publisher, he's afraid that the matter isn't big enough. It would be better if it were big enough. I still think it's not big enough!
We have already reported the Privy Council corpse case, and the tabloids sold particularly well during those two days.

But I didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to this matter, hahaha, report it! Must report it! And even exaggerate it!
……

By the West Lake, between water and clouds.

Dan Niang, who was about to be accepted into the Yang family, was restless all day.

Although she and Yang Yuan had already been married for a long time, and she was certain that Yang Yuan would not let her down, this official status still made her excited.

Song Luxi, who had shared hardships with her, was not able to accompany her now, but he still sent his personal maids Alihu and Ata to help Dan Niang with the arrangements.

Dan Niang sat in the bedroom, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, picking up various accessories, trying them out and then putting them down. The table was already full, but she hadn't found a set that satisfied her.

Tomorrow Xue Bingxin, Leng Yuchan and Wugu Lun Yingge will also be getting married, and she can't let those three women outdo her.

"Master, you don't have to worry at all. The master is a person who cherishes the past. You should have seen that a long time ago.

Master, you and the master have known each other since childhood, and the affection between you and him is incomparable to that between Xue, Leng, and that woman from the Kingdom of Jin."

Xiao Qingtang sat down on Dan Niang's couch and comforted the anxious Dan Niang.

“Although Xue Bingxin has Leng Yuchan, and Leng Yuchan has Xue Bingxin, they are not only like sisters, but also have served as court ladies together and are colleagues of godfather. For the master, there must be a different feeling.

Although, that Wugu Lun Yingge had a maid named A'man as his companion, they were like master and servant, and they advanced and retreated together.

But you and your godmother have known each other since childhood, Qingtang believes that your brother-in-law still likes you the most."

Dan Niang glanced at Qingtang who was still talking in the mirror with a smile.

This little bitch, the abacus beads are about to hit my face, but she’s still making that noise.

While trying on the jewelry, Dan Niang said, "I had planned to find a family for you to marry off when you were a little older."

When Qingtang heard this, he stopped talking immediately.

Her fingers were nervously wrapped around the thin blue belt with white flowers on it's waist. She looked at Dan Niang with trepidation, her bright almond eyes revealing a bit of nervousness and timidity.

Danniang saw her poor little self in the mirror and couldn't bear to tease her any more, so she said, "But if you want to stay with me forever, then stay with me."

When Qingtang heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses and jumped up from the couch with joy.

Dan Niang held a pearl hairpin in her slender jade fingers and pressed it against her newly revealed breasts:

"Well, your teacher can only help you up to this point. I can't control the rest. Whether your master is willing to accept you or not depends on your own ability."

When Qingtang heard this, she suddenly became nervous again and said in a conflicted tone: "Ah? Sister, if you don't help me, then... can I do it?"

Dan Niang glanced at her in the mirror and said, "What cat doesn't like fishy food? It depends on whether you are fishy enough."

Qingtang was immediately excited after hearing this, and clenched his fist and said: "If Ah Man is fishy, ​​I must be fishy too. Qingtang has never been inferior to anyone in his life!"

PS: I got up early in the morning and rushed to Dalian for a meeting. I came back in the evening and started writing. I will post these first. The other chapter will be ready during the day.
