Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 591 The Incident

Liu Yiguan, along with a large group of people including the Lin'an Prefecture Procurator, the Judicial Officer, the Chief of Police and the Constable, hurried to the Huizi Treasury in Jiaomufang.

When Miss Qingyue saw this scene, she couldn't help but become nervous.

As soon as Liu Yi Guan arrived, he immediately interrogated her. Qing Yue did not dare to neglect it and immediately explained to Liu Tongzhou that she had received the letter when she was receiving guests at Cuiyu Tower, and explained the situation of that day in detail.

Liu Yiguan also knew that Mr. Tang was hosting a banquet in Cuiyu Tower, and that Yang Yuan had brought people to Cuiyu Tower. In the end, Mr. Tang left in a hurry.

This matter had already spread in the Lin'an officialdom.

Now Liu Yiguan still has no idea who paid Qingyue to accompany Yang Yuan and others.

Not daring to delay, he immediately took Qingyue and his servant, confiscated the fake notes, and rushed to Cuiyu Tower without stopping.

The Cuiyu Tower was very quiet at this time as it was closed in the morning.

But when Liu Yiguan arrived, he immediately sealed off the entire building and took Qingyue and her servant in to arrest the person for interrogation.

When the people in Cuiyu Tower saw that it was Liu Tongpan, the judge in charge of law in Lin'an Prefecture, who had come with his men, they were all trembling with fear.

Only Shui Fu stood up lazily, not taking it seriously.

Liu Yiguan knew that she was the favorite of Mr. Tang, but he did not dare to offend her and was very respectful to her.

Miss Qingyue quickly recognized the waiter who had made the connection that night and led her downstairs to entertain the Fifth Young Master.

Liu Yiguan asked the waiter again, and when the waiter heard that the money paid to Miss Qingyue was fake, he was immediately frightened.

He did not dare to hide anything and immediately confessed everything he knew.

After hearing this, Liu Yi Guan immediately asked the judicial officer to take some people to the other famous prostitutes who had received the notes that day to check whether the notes they received were real or fake.

Liu Yiguan himself took the waiter and rushed to Longshan City in a hurry.

As for Qingyue and other people involved in the case, they were all imprisoned awaiting trial until the truth was revealed.

While walking on the road, Liu Yiguan had an inexplicable urge. He felt that this major financial case that had troubled the court for a long time seemed to be about to be solved in his hands!

……

In Luo's Medical Clinic, Luo Cheng'an explained his acupuncture method.

The two imperial doctors exchanged opinions privately. Judging from the meridians and acupuncture points mentioned by Luo Cheng'an, there is no harm to the body.

They could even roughly guess the usefulness of acupuncture from what Luo Cheng'an had said.

In fact, the meridians and acupoints involved in the treatment of different diseases are the corresponding meridians and acupoints. Just because your medical skills are more advanced, you will not invent new acupoints that other famous doctors don’t know at all.

The only difference is the choice of acupuncture techniques, as well as the order and time of needling the meridians and acupoints involved.

This is the unique plan made by each doctor based on the depth of his medical attainments and understanding of the corresponding diseases.

Since the meridians and acupoints involved in Luo Cheng'an's medical records are not harmful, and the Empress Dowager has acquiesced, and the Regent Prince Jin has agreed, they also want to see the effect.

After all, it is impossible for the two of them to follow the little princess out every day. They will feel more at ease after seeing her once.

So Luo Cheng'an invited the little princess into the inner room, where she was served by two female doctors.

He was outside the curtain, instructing the use of needles according to the treatment plan that had been explained before.

Yang Yuan, two medical officers, Lu Xi, Ata and others were waiting outside the curtain.

The two medical officers carefully helped the princess loosen her clothes and she lay on the medical couch wearing only her small clothes.

Even though she was still wearing small clothes, you could see that Ning'er's arms and legs were very thin.

When the little princess saw the two female doctors taking out the silver needles, she became panicked again.

Zhao Ning'er is filled with fear because she has been taking medicine and injections constantly since she was a child.

It was better before when her mother was by her side, holding her hand and comforting her. But now, in this unfamiliar environment and without her mother's comfort, Zhao Ning'er was very frightened.

Although she knew that everyone was doing this for her own good, and so was sensible enough not to shout or refuse, her thin body was tense with fear and resistance, and the silver needles in the hands of the two female doctors could not penetrate her.

After all the trouble, the two female doctors, who were afraid of hurting the little princess, were sweating profusely. Zhao Ning'er, who was weak in constitution, was even more exhausted.

Ah Ta heard through the curtain that the treatment was not going well, so he lifted a corner of the curtain and went in to comfort the patient, but it still didn't work.

Zhao Ning'er held her hand and just sobbed and shed tears silently, which made Aye too panic and he couldn't help but cry with her.

When Lu Xi heard the noise, he rushed in to comfort her, but it was of no use.

The two doctors outside were so anxious that they were spinning like a top. Finally, they said to Yang Yuan, "My Lord, why don't we just forget it? The little girl is timid and resists acupuncture. If anything happens to her, it will be difficult for you to explain to her parents."

Forget it, that means giving up, this child...

Thinking of how thin Zhao Ning'er was, and how even her parents had despaired of her being able to grow up to adulthood without dying, Yang Yuan hardened his heart.

Let's give it another try. Everyone has seen how good Pharmacist Luo is at treating the elderly officials and gentry in Renmeifang.

Perhaps this will be the little princess' only chance, and it will be even more impossible once the queen comes back.

But how to make the little princess obedient?
Yang Yuan thought anxiously and suddenly came up with an idea, so he said, "Ning'er, just listen and relax, acupuncture won't hurt.

If you listen to me, I will tell you an interesting story, okay?"

Zhao Ning'er's attention was drawn to it, and she asked, "What story does Uncle want to tell?"

Yang Yuan cleared his throat and said, "This is a story about a true and false daughter. There was a little girl named Gu Wan, an orphan who was abandoned in an orphanage when she was young. When she was...nine years old, she was found by her biological parents and brought back home."

Yang Yuan thought that Zhao Ning'er was young, and if she said she was eighteen or nineteen years old, the young listener might not be able to relate to the story, so she chose an age that was only two or three years older than her.

"Gu Wan only then realized that her biological father was the richest man in Lin'an, and that she had five brothers, each of whom was very handsome and capable..."

Zhao Ning'er was delighted to hear this and couldn't help but say, "She was so pitiful before, but now she has finally gotten her wish. However, her family is so powerful, how could they abandon their daughter?"

Yang Yuan secretly praised her. After all, she was the daughter of the royal family and had been brought up well since childhood. She had such a brain at such a young age.

Yang Yuan said, "Of course there is a reason, but this secret needs to be revealed slowly. Let's talk about her being recognized first."

Zhao Ning'er agreed softly and thought to herself, now that I'm recognized, I'll be loved and pampered by the whole family, so what else is there to worry about?

But Yang Yuan said: "When Gu Wan'er returned to the Gu family, she found out that her mother was heartbroken after she disappeared, so her father adopted a daughter with the same name as her, named Yaoyao.

Her father, mother and five brothers all doted on their adopted daughter Yaoyao. They were afraid that Wan'er would be unhappy when she came back, so they told Wan'er not to announce her real daughter's identity to the public, and only say that she was an adopted daughter. They also warned her not to make Yaoyao unhappy..."

"Ah?" Zhao Ning'er's eyes widened when she heard this, and her mind turned into a mess for a moment.

She is not "Sister Li", she is not "Sister Li" at all.

Seeing that Zhao Ning'er's attention was all attracted by the Marquis, the two female doctors exchanged glances and hurriedly used a few injections according to the steps given by Pharmacist Luo.

Zhao Ning'er was completely unaware and said angrily, "Are Wanwan's family crazy? How could they do this?"

Yang Yuan said: "This is nothing, they also let Wanwan live in a storage room that is worse than a servant's, and she only wears clothes that Yaoyao wore and no longer wants.

Yaoyao wanted to drive the real daughter away and monopolize the richest man's family, so she framed the real daughter.

She put her mother's jewelry in the storage room where the real daughter lived, saying that the real daughter had stolen it.

She broke her father's treasured antique vase, saying it was a real loss.

She deliberately rolled down the stairs and said that it was the real daughter who pushed her.

In the end, everyone in the family believed whatever she said, and no one believed Wanwan's explanation.

They forced her to kneel, slapped her, and starved her..."

This time, even Luxi and Ata were furious.

The two female doctors almost lost their focus, so they quickly pulled themselves together and took the opportunity to give the injections.

Outside, Pharmacist Luo and the two imperial physicians had already frowned, and based on the possibility of the patient, they began to wonder whether this family really had a mental illness!
Could it be madness? What kind of madness is so serious?
Zhao Ning'er's face turned red with anger, and she kept asking, "Uncle, what happened next? Was Sister Wanwan bullied by them like this?"

Yang Yuan said: "Wanwan has been an orphan since she was young. She really wanted to have a family and be loved by her family, so she endured it time and time again, and was filial to her parents, and fawned on her brothers, hoping that they would like her more."

Zhao Ning'er was so angry that she was shaking, and she pounded the couch in hatred, saying, "Damn it, damn it!"

Then, Yang Yuan told how the fake daughter framed the real daughter step by step, and how the family thought the real daughter was vicious and sinister. In the end, her legs were broken and her eyes were blinded, her face was disfigured, she was driven out of the house, picked up garbage to make a living, and finally died of hunger and cold in the gutter, and was eaten by wild dogs...

Not to mention Ning'er's anger, Luxi and Ata both had smoke coming out of their nostrils, and they were about to turn into fire-breathing dragons.

Yang Yuan said: "At this time, Wanwan, who had been gnawed to death, was suddenly reborn. Perhaps God couldn't stand it anymore and turned back time, so that Gu Wan returned to the day when she was recognized and taken away from the orphanage by her biological parents..."

"And then?"

Zhao Ning'er and Ata asked almost at the same time.

Yang Yuan glanced at Luo Cheng'an. When he was telling the story just now, Luo Cheng'an had been constantly reminding him of the acupuncture techniques and acupuncture points to be used. From what he said, it seemed that the acupuncture should be completed now.

Yang Yuan said, "After rebirth..., we'll talk about it tomorrow. You're tired now, give me a massage and have a good sleep first." "Uncle, I want to hear more."

"Second brother, I want to listen too." Behind the curtain, Lu Xi also joined the trap.

Yang Yuan said, "If you want to listen, wait until tomorrow. Because after Gu Wan was reborn, how she took revenge step by step, exposed the fake daughter's sinister face, and made her parents and family regret it is a very long story. It will take three days and three nights to finish. Take your time."

"Oh, then uncle must tell them tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you."

Luo Cheng'an gave a few more instructions, and the two female doctors inside started to give the little princess acupuncture and gently massage her body.

Zhao Ning'er was too weak. She had exhausted all her energy from the previous nervous struggle, and she almost had a blood vessel burst from listening to Yang Yuan's story.

For someone like her who had always been weak and exhausted, this anger did activate her blood circulation, but it also made her body more tired.

After being massaged by two female doctors, his eyelids could no longer open.

She was dazed and still murmured, "Uncle, this shouldn't be the case. Even if you dote on your adopted daughter, how can you abuse your biological daughter like this when she comes home?

Before the fake daughter framed her, her real parents had already made her live in the woodshed. Is it necessary for the richest family to bully her like this? This is reasonable only if she is the daughter of a deadly enemy, right? I can't figure it out..."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "This kind of story doesn't require brains. If you throw away your brains, it will sound good when you listen to it again."

"Oh, no brains, no brains..."

Zhao Ning'er murmured softly, and finally tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Liu Yiguan brought the waiter who identified Wang Ershao to Longshan City. It was already afternoon.

Liu Yiguan didn't even have time to eat lunch and immediately led people to surround the Wang family.

Such a huge momentum, especially since the visitors were from the Wang family, the richest family in Longshan City, immediately attracted the attention of the entire Longshan City.

Many merchants and common people came to watch the fun.

Upon hearing the news, Old Master Wang hurriedly came out and bowed, saying, "Are you Liu Tongpan of Lin'an Prefecture? My son Ye Ran is also working in Lin'an Prefecture. Please give me some face. If there is anything, we can talk slowly. I am a businessman. If you make such a big scene, it will affect my business..."

Liu Yiguan was slightly stunned and asked, "Is Master Wang your son?"

"That's right, Wang Yeran is my eldest son."

Liu Yiguan narrowed his eyes, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

I heard that the Wang family is the richest family in Longshan. Could it be that they earned their wealth through fraud in this way?

His son, who works as an official in the government office, serves as a cover for him?
and many more……

Wang Yeran...

It seems that this is the person Yang Yuan brought with him when he was appointed as the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture!

Liu Yiguan's mind raced, and the lines on his face became deeper, like two ravines.

"I see, Mr. Wang, your son is my colleague. Logically, if it is just a minor problem, I should not ignore him.

But this case is serious. Not to mention that your son is only a chief official in Lin'an Prefecture, even if he is a doctor in one of the six ministries, he has to go with Liu today."

Wang Yuanwai's face turned pale when he heard this, and he asked in a trembling voice, "President Liu, what on earth has our Wang family committed?"

Liu Yiguan glanced at the people watching around him and said in a deep voice, "This is a serious matter. We cannot publicize it here. Ask your second son Wang Yefan to come out."

Wang Yuanwai was shocked and said, "Is it my second son who has committed a crime? This bastard, what trouble has he caused again? Quick, call him over."

Young Master Wang came back late yesterday. He had just gotten up and was wearing short clothes. He was halfway through washing up when he was brought here with a mouthful of salt and a toothbrush in his hand.

Liu Yiguan's face darkened and he shouted, "Disperse the onlookers, seal off the Wang family residence, investigate everything in the mansion, and take Wang Yuanwai and his son to Lin'an Prefecture for questioning!"

Liu Yiguan led a large group of people and hurried to Longshan City. After they surrounded the palace, the news spread like a tornado.

At the "Money Exchange Office" in Longshan City, a customer who came to exchange coins vividly told the shopkeeper what he had seen and heard.

As soon as he left, the shopkeeper's expression changed and he said in a deep voice, "Close the shop!"

The shop assistant immediately hung up the closing sign, closed the door, and the room immediately became dark.

Several shop assistants and the accountant rushed to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper said in a cold voice: "Why else could there be such a big scene in Lin'an Prefecture? It must be that the notes we exchanged for Mr. Wang were discovered to be real or fake."

An accountant said, "It may not be because of this reason? Doesn't Mr. Wang have to pay salaries at the end of the month? How much salary can one person receive?
If he spent it, even if the person who received the Huizi quickly cashed it out, it would have been mixed in with the other Huizi and Jiaozi he received. How could he remember who paid him the fake Huizi? How could the government find the Wang family so accurately? "

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It is better to be cautious. How much money do we have left?"

Another accountant said, "There are still more than 120,000 strings of cash left. Give us another half month and we can cash them all out."

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Those club money, slowly find a way to spend it, everyone took the money and left separately, each looking for a place to lie low first.

Fifteen days later, I will leave a mark outside the east wall of Xiangji Temple, and you can follow the mark to meet me. "

There was an immediate commotion in the "huizichu".

Soon, they went out from the side door one by one, carrying boxes and baskets or packages on their backs, and hurriedly joined the crowded crowd in Longshan City.

……

In Tang's mansion, Tang Situi, Yan Shen, and Zhang Shuning, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, were sitting in Tang Situi's small study, drinking tea and chatting.

While at Cuiyu Tower, Tang Situi was shocked to hear that the Prince of Jin was dispatching troops out of the capital. He left in a hurry to verify the reason, thus allowing Yang Yuan and his group to gain the upper hand.

Even though this is just a small matter and there is not even any obvious confrontation between the two sides, everyone interprets it differently.

Some people saw this incident as a confrontation between new and old officials, and the new official won, which made Tang Shitui quite depressed.

Tang Situi sighed and said, "When the late emperor was alive, the emperor and his subjects were in harmony with each other, and the court of our Song Dynasty was in harmony.

Today, the emperor is young and full of vigor, and he indulges these opportunistic and flattering officials who only cater to the emperor's wishes, making the court a mess. If this continues, what will happen?"

Zhang Shuning, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, advised: "Don't worry, Minister Tang. An eagle stands like it's asleep, and a tiger walks like it's sick. People like them don't know how to 'hide their edge', don't know how to conceal their wisdom and reflect on themselves, and be careful with their words and emotions. The more glorious they are today, the more backlash they will suffer tomorrow!"

Yan Shen's eyes flickered slightly, and he also smiled and said: "What Minister Zhang said is very true. Looking at the past and present, both at home and abroad, how many people like this can have a good end?

My dear brother, tolerate him, let him be, avoid him, let him be, endure him, respect him, ignore him, and just wait and see what happens to him in a few years!"

Tang Si was persuaded by the two men and calmed down a little. He nodded and sighed, "I understand the truth, but I am trusted by the government and I am the prime minister. How can I just sit back and watch the country being ruined by such a complacent villain?"

After saying this, Tang Situi sighed again.

At this moment, the old housekeeper of the mansion hurried in, walked to Tang Situi, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Tang Situi raised his eyebrows, stood up and said to Yan Shen and Zhang Shuning, "Please sit down, I'll be back soon."

Tang Si left the small study and came to the front hall.

Liu Yiguan was sitting and drinking tea. When he saw him coming, he immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Mr. Tang."

Tang Shitui waved his hand and said, "There is no need for politeness between you and me, but what's the urgent matter?"

The two were born in the same year, but Liu Yiguan was a third-class Jinshi and his official career was not as successful as Tang Situi's.

But the two of them had a close personal relationship, they just never showed it off.

They met occasionally, and both of them went boating on West Lake. Liu Yiguan never came to Tang's house.

So when he took the initiative to go out today, Tang Situi knew that it must be something very urgent, so he left the guest behind and went to meet him immediately.

Liu Yiguan said solemnly, "Mr. Tang, I'm afraid we have found the source of the fake notes that have flooded the market recently."

Tang Situi was overjoyed when he heard this and asked, "The case has been solved? Who forged it?"

Liu Yiguan said: "In Lin'an Prefecture, the prefectural prosecutor and judicial officer are currently interrogating the relevant people. The reason why I hurried to see you in person is because...

As far as we know now, the source of the fake club is the wealthy Wang family in Longshan City, and this Wang family..."

"How is Wang Shihu?"

"This Wang Shihu is actually someone employed by Yang Yuan. Yang Yuan has a lot of business and it is inconvenient for him to come in person, so Wang Shihu takes care of everything for him. So..."

Tang Shitui's eyes immediately became as sharp as an eagle's.

"So what? There are probably millions of fake banknotes circulating in the market now. This is a major case, no matter who is involved, we must investigate it thoroughly!"

Tang Situi hurriedly paced a few steps and said, "Don't worry and check it out. I will immediately ask the Dali Temple and the Imperial City Bureau to intervene in this case and assist you in the investigation!"

Tang Shitui sneered and said, "Tang wants to see who dares to bend the law for personal gain and protect each other!"
