Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 733: Responsible Female Bodyguard
Yang Yuan returned to the Tongchuan Road General Administration and Pacification Office.

The civil and military officials and local gentry were sensible. Since General Yang had arrived in the city so late, he would definitely not be able to interact with them any more today.

So, after sending Yang Yuangong back home, everyone dispersed.

Yang Yuan ordered the housekeeper: "You come and arrange for everyone to live and prepare a sumptuous meal."

After saying this, he hurried to the backyard excitedly.

When Wang Changsheng and Han Qianchen learned the news that Yang Yuan had returned, Yang Yuan had already returned home.

These days, Wang Changsheng and Han Qianchen have been in Santai Mountain west of the city during the day.

The place is extremely secretive and heavily guarded, so it would be safest to keep their important geographical information about mountains and rivers.

At night, they returned to the city.

After all, Wang Changsheng had a bunch of Japanese concubines, and he gave a few of them to Han Qianchen, who was divorced by his wife.

The security level in the mountains is too high, and they cannot bring their concubines in to live there.

In this case, it is natural to return to the land of gentleness at night.

Wang Changsheng still saw his neighbor, Chen Lijia, the prosecutor of Tongchuan Pacification Office, returning at night. He asked casually and found out that Yang Yuan had returned.

Wang Changsheng was overjoyed and immediately called Han Qianchen, asking him to go see Yang Yuan immediately.

The two men were originally ordered by Yang Yuan to start from the Tongchuan Prefecture City, one heading south and the other heading north, to survey the entire Tongchuan Road.

The investigation, which lasted more than a year, was fruitful.

The two people's geographical atlases and resource survey records turned into more than ten large boxes of information.

Han Qianchen traveled north from Tongchuan Prefecture and discovered rich reserves of saltpeter mines in Laojun Mountain in Longzhou.

At that time, he didn't take it seriously. It was only after he returned to Tongchuan and met Xiao Qianyue, who was playing with gunpowder all day, that he realized how significant the discovery of this mineral was.

As for Wang Changsheng, this guy headed south and discovered many good things that had not yet been explored along the way.

Then, he was lost.

Wang Changsheng rushed into Liangshan Prefecture.

Although this place is adjacent to the southernmost end of Tongchuan Road, it belongs to the Dali Kingdom.

Wang Changsheng asked the mountain people he met for directions and found that he was out of the country.

He consulted the local mountain people and decided to take a shortcut back, when he accidentally discovered a mineral deposit in a place called Lushui Town.

A mine with rich reserves of copper and gold.

The mineral reserves here are very rich, and it is an open-pit mine hidden in deep mountains and forests, so it is very easy to mine.

However, such a treasure mountain has remained unattended for thousands of years. It just lies there quietly, covered by grass and trees.

In fact, this copper and gold mine with huge reserves was not discovered until the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, its mining has continued to the present day, and it remains the largest open-pit copper and gold mine in the entire southwest region.

After a survey, Wang Changsheng was stunned by its huge reserves.

Sichuan has always been short of copper!

For this reason, Sichuan used iron coins, while other places used copper coins.

Historical records state: "Copper coins are prohibited from entering the two Sichuan provinces" and "Copper coins are prohibited from entering the Jiannan border."

From then on, Sichuan became a special monetary zone using only iron coins.

The problem is that the exchange rate between copper and iron coins is very different, with iron coins being at an absolute disadvantage.

Therefore, the relationship between copper coins and iron coins is somewhat like the US dollar reaping the world.

The people in the iron money zone are often fleeced and exploited, but they are powerless to do anything about it.

Jiaozi first appeared in Sichuan and was invented due to the various inconveniences and disadvantages of iron coins.

If this huge mineral reserve could belong to the Song Dynasty...

It is right next to Tongchuan Road, separated only by the Dadu River.

All the detailed information about Wang Changsheng is kept in Mount Santai.

However, he still wanted to tell Yang Yuan this important news as soon as possible.

As for that place which now belongs to Dali...

Wang Changsheng is just a very professional technical talent, he doesn't understand these things.

He thought, it’s just a river between them.

Then cross the river!

Wang Changsheng asked Han Qianchen to accompany him.

Han Qianchen also wanted to report his discoveries to Yang Yuan, so the two of them excitedly rushed to the Pacifier's Mansion.

As a result, the two were turned away.

The butler said politely: "Gentlemen, our master has just rested after a long journey.

Please forgive me, gentlemen. Can you come back tomorrow?"

"of course."

The housekeeper smiled cordially: "If the two gentlemen really have something urgent to do, then I will go to the back house to report it."

"Ah, it's not that urgent. It can't run away anyway..."

Wang Changsheng said: "Then... let's come back tomorrow."

……

Of course, Yang Yuan would not really go to bed so early.

In the bathhouse designed and built by Yanran and Duozi themselves, he was served tenderly by two beauties and had a good bath before he put on his bathrobe, feeling refreshed.

It has become a habit for Fan Qing to patrol at night. When it is late at night and everyone is asleep, she will pick up the demon-subduing pestle, walk out of the room, and patrol everywhere carefully.

Fan Qing possesses the power of telepathy and can sense other people's emotions, so even if she can't see someone, as long as someone is hiding, it will be difficult for them to avoid her detection.

What's more, if someone really has malicious intentions, his or her emotional fluctuations will be particularly violent, making it even more difficult to escape her detection.

Fanqing and Meizhen lived in the backyard. Yang Yuan left a message to the housekeeper, "Settle everyone well," and hurried to the backyard.

He didn't even have time to tell the butler the identities of these people.

When the butler arranged for Fan Qing and Mei Zhen to come, Mei Zhen looked at Yang Liangao and Dao Feifei who were leaving with the servants with a proud look, and said to the old butler: "We are different from them, we... are not guests."

Fan Qing, who was wearing secular clothes and had his head wrapped in a green scarf, thought about it and agreed.

I am his bodyguard, and my eldest brother has already attached himself to him, so my eldest brother's daughter is naturally not a guest either.

So, she also nodded with a smile.

The old butler understood it at a glance.

He was an old butler hired by Yang Yuan after he arrived in Tongchuan Prefecture.

At first, he didn't know much about Yang Yuan's family background.

However, a qualified housekeeper should certainly know everything about the owner of the household.

At first, the old housekeeper was quite surprised to see that such a young provincial governor had only two female relatives in his house.

But he soon found out that the master had many beautiful concubines, but they had not yet moved from Lin'an.

Now seeing Mei Zhen being shy and Fan Qing nodding, the old butler couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"I understand. Madam, please come this way."

Mei Zhen was catching up with the housekeeper in a swagger, when she suddenly noticed that her aunt was not following her.

When I turned around, Fan Qing was still standing there in a daze.

Fan Qing was thinking, why does he call me Madam? Should I explain it to him?
However, he was talking to Meizhen. Meizhen was indeed the one that eldest brother wanted to marry to Yang Yuan, so it was not wrong to call her Madam, right?
Fan Qing was struggling, Mei Zhen said: "Come on, what are you still standing there for?"

After hearing this, Fan Qing had no time to think about it and quickly quickened his pace to catch up.

After leaving the room, Fan Qing couldn't help laughing when he was blown by the wind.

Only then did she realize that this was already the residence of the Governor-General and that she no longer needed to be as vigilant as she had been on the road.

But... now that I'm out, I'll just patrol for another night.

Otherwise, just go back as soon as you come out...

Fan Qing felt her scalp tingling when she thought about how her silly little niece might misunderstand something, worry about her falling out of favor, and try hard to teach her some embarrassing little tricks.

Amitabha, patrol for another night.

Fan Qing used the "Acalanatha" Zen skill and his body unfolded like a wisp of smoke.

And that night, the place with the most intense emotional fluctuations in the entire mansion was naturally Yang Yuan's residence.

Before Fan Qing knew it, he had come to the vicinity of Yang Yuan's residence.

"What? How could..."

Fan Qing rushed to the main room and was surprised to see that the door was ajar and not bolted.

Yang Yuan was holding one in each hand at the time. After entering the room, he just pushed the door with his heel and then impatiently went around to the bed behind the screen. He didn't care about these things at all.

When Fan Qing saw this, he thought someone had sneaked into Yang Yuan's room, and he couldn't help but feel very anxious.

I was so careless. I never thought that the safest place would be the most dangerous.

Fan Qing moved and rushed forward.

"Well, that's annoying, eh..."

A coquettish voice was heard, and Fan Qing, who had just rushed into the room and raised the magic pestle to subdue demons, was suddenly frozen in place.

There is a light behind the screen, and the thin screen gauze clearly projects the scene behind the screen.

This... this, this...

Fan Qingding stood there, and everything she saw was something she had never imagined.

This made her stunned and her mind went blank.

Fan Qing's "Acalanatha" Zen power is dust-free, spotless, formless, and impure. It is as firm as a rock and as immovable as a mountain.

When she was practicing, her energy did not leak out at all, nor was she affected by the energy from the outside world.

Therefore, even with Yang Yuan's ability, he was completely unaware of her arrival.

For a long time, Fan Qing's feet clearly did not move, but his waist seemed to be misaligned, and his entire upper body drifted slightly to one side.

Then, she saw a scene that shocked her.

The inner demon, this is the inner demon!

Fan Qing was shaking and blushing, and couldn't help but close his eyes tightly.

"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajna Paramita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and was able to overcome all suffering..."

Fan Qing quietly opened one eye.

Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form.

After an unknown amount of time, Fan Qing retreated with a red face.

She came quietly and left quietly. Before leaving, she closed the door for Yang Yuan with a guilty conscience.

It was a quiet moonlit night with insects chirping. Fan Qing was in a daze until he walked a long way and a gust of evening breeze blew, and then he became much more awake.

"spit!"

Fan Qing spat softly, her face flushed.

Even a girl from an ordinary family would be shocked if she saw such a thing, let alone a person who grew up in the mountains, picked up Buddhist scriptures, and had no experience in the secular world.

However, although she was extremely shy, she did not feel angry in her heart. It was just that her originally clear mind was inevitably affected by this.

For a moment, even her "Acalanatha" state of mind was affected.

The inner demon is indeed the inner demon.

Fan Qing remembered that every time he entered a new realm in his practice, he had to go through various trials, the most difficult of which was the inner demon.

I don’t know if she can successfully pass this time.
