Comprehensive film and television: Youyou Biography

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. Wu Jie was taking his snow-white horse Xueying for a leisurely stroll in the stable. At this moment, he saw Qin Qiuyu and her maid Xiaoying walking towards him from a distance.

Wu Jie walked forward with a smile and greeted her politely: "Miss Qiuyu, how come you have time to visit the horse farm today?"

Qin Qiuyu smiled slightly and said softly, "Nothing special, just taking a walk. I didn't expect to meet you, the Third Young Master, training a horse here."

Wu Jie smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, my Xueying is a good horse and needs to be trained from time to time. Miss Qiuyu, how about I walk around this horse farm with you and introduce these horses to you?"

Qin Qiuyu readily agreed: "Okay, then I'll have to trouble the Third Young Master."

So, Wu Jie and Qin Qiuyu walked side by side, talking about the habits and characteristics of horses as they strolled. Their topic gradually extended from horses to other aspects, and the two of them talked happily. Before they knew it, a long time had passed.

……

However, happy times are always short-lived. Soon, it was time to entertain Zhu Bingjin. On that day, Xiuqing asked Yushi curiously, "Brother Yushi, who is Brother Wuhen going to entertain today? Why did he ask us two to stay away?"

Yu Shi touched Xiu Qing's head and explained with a smile: "Since Wuhen asked us to avoid him, he must have his reasons. Let's not ask any more questions."

Xiuqing was not willing to give up and kept pestering Yushi with questions. Yushi had no choice but to say, "I don't know the details, but Wuhen must have his reasons for doing this. Xiuqing, stop worrying about it and just listen to me."

Xiuqing was still a little confused after hearing what Yushi said, but she didn't want to ask any more questions. She rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of an idea, so she said to Yushi, "Well, Brother Yushi, since we can't attend the banquet, how about we go out for a walk together?"

Yu Shi thought about it and agreed to it. But when they just walked to the door, Xiu Qing suddenly ran out like a naughty little rabbit, and turned back to make a face at Yu Shi.

Seeing this, Yu Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Xiu Qing, run slower, wait for me!"

Xiuqing accidentally bumped into Master Bai, who looked at her with lustful eyes, trying to flirt with her. At this moment, Yushi came over, and when she saw Master Bai's behavior, she was very angry, so she taught Master Bai a lesson without any hesitation.

Master Bai was hit by the jade and looked a little embarrassed. He suddenly recognized the jade in front of him, and was immediately frightened and turned pale. He turned around and left in a hurry.

Wuhen stood up and toasted Zhu Bingjin, and Zhu Bingjin responded with a smile.

However, Master Bai came hurriedly and whispered something in Master Zhu's ear.

After hearing this, Zhu Bingjin's face instantly turned gloomy. He slammed the table angrily and accused Aolongbao of daring to hide a wanted criminal of the imperial court.

Seeing this, Wuji stood up fearlessly and asked Zhu Bingjin, "Do you know whose table you just hit?"

Wu Jie also stood up and warned Zhu Bingjin: "If you dare to act insolently in Aolong Castle, I will beat you to a pulp!"

Seeing Wuji and Wujie being so tough, Zhu Bingjin felt a little uneasy, but he still pretended to be calm and told Wuji: "Master Bai just saw the imperial prisoner from Jiangnan."

Wuji sneered and retorted, "How dare you slander Aolongbao based on Master Bai's one-sided statement? Aren't you afraid that the adults will sentence you to a false accusation?"

Master Bai said quickly: "Whether it is there or not, we will know after checking."

Wu Jie was furious after hearing this. He stood up and pointed at Master Bai and cursed: "How dare you be so presumptuous, you dog official!"

Zhao Yang saw that the situation was getting out of control. She said slowly, "Why should I let you search Aolong Fort? Do you think that I have lost my prestige because I haven't been in the court for these years? Whoever dares to search Aolong Fort will be punished for disrespect first!"

"Does Your Highness want to hide a wanted criminal of the imperial court?" Zhu Bingjin looked at Princess Zhaoyang with suspicion, with a hint of questioning in his tone.

Princess Zhaoyang raised her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. She answered slowly, "Even if there is, what's the harm? Not to mention that there is, even if there is not, my territory is not something that can be searched by just any cat or dog. Unless my father personally orders it, otherwise, Lord Zhu, you can give it a try. However, I have to remind you that if I accuse you of a crime at that time, who do you think will come to save you?"

Zhu Bingjin's face changed slightly after hearing what Princess Zhaoyang said, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Is this how Your Highness and Aolong Castle entertain guests? This official has really broadened his horizons today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Yuan beside him shouted angrily: "How dare you! Who are you calling me your official here? My master is a regent princess of the super first rank. How can a mere official like you call her that casually!"

Zhu Bingjin was shocked by Ziyuan's aura. He turned to look at Ziyuan and saw that although this maid was not very old, she had a dignified look on her face and no one dared to underestimate her.

Master Bai saw this and immediately chimed in: "How dare you, a little maid, be so presumptuous in front of the master? You really don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is!"

Zi Yuan did not show any weakness. She straightened her body and said loudly, "It is true that I am the princess's maid, but I also have an official position. I am a female official of the third rank!"

"You... since the princess doesn't welcome us, then we'll just leave." Zhu Bingjin said with a somewhat ugly expression.

"Then take care." Zi Yuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, but her tone was filled with undisguised sarcasm.

Zhu Bingjin became even more angry when he saw this, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to have a head-on conflict with Princess Zhaoyang at this time, so he snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

However, the moment he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Murong Fu standing beside him. Murong Fu's eyes met his, and at that moment, Zhu Bingjin saw a hint of a smile in Murong Fu's eyes.

Zhu Bingjin's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He stopped, looked at Murong Fu, and asked, "Brother Murong, what do you mean?"

Murong Fu smiled slightly and said slowly: "Brother Zhu, don't worry. I just suddenly thought of something that may be helpful to you."

Zhu Bingjin frowned, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Murong Fu lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Zhu, do you know about the salt permit?"

Zhu Bingjin's mind moved. He knew about the salt permit, which was an important certificate for the salt industry. With the salt permit, private salt could be converted into official salt and sold legally.

Murong Fu continued, "As long as we can find evidence of smuggling salt, then... hehe, the ones who should be worried are Aolong Fort."

Zhu Bingjin's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Murong Fu's intention. As long as he could overthrow Aolongbao, he could not only vent his anger, but also gain huge benefits from it.

"Okay! Brother Murong, if this succeeds, I, Zhu Bingjin, will definitely support you with all my strength!" Zhu Bingjin said excitedly.

Murong Fu smiled and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhu. However, the evidence is not easy to find..."

Zhu Bingjin said quickly: "It's okay, I will send someone to investigate. As long as Aolongbao really sells illegal salt, it will definitely not escape my eyes!"

Murong Fu raised his lips slightly, "That's great. Brother Zhu, this time we must make Aolong Castle fall completely, and Princess Zhaoyang..."

Zhu Bingjin's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Don't worry, Brother Murong, I won't let them have it easy!"

Murong Fu nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, Brother Zhu, if this is successful, the profit..."

Zhu Bingjin's heart moved, and he quickly said: "Brother Murong, don't worry. I am not a greedy person. As long as I can bring down Aolongbao, I will not care about a small profit."

Murong Fu smiled and said, "Brother Zhu is really straightforward. How about this, I give Brother Zhu three-tenths of the profit?"

Zhu Bingjin's face changed slightly when he heard this. Three percent profit? This is too little! He had originally hoped to get more.

Murong Fu seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, this three percent profit is quite a lot. After all, the risks involved are not small."

Zhu Bingjin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, let's do as Brother Murong says."

Murong Fu smiled and patted Zhu Bingjin on the shoulder, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhu."

Murong Fu became more anxious when he heard this. He stared at Mother Sai with wide eyes and asked, "Da Liao? Are you sure?"

Mother Sai nodded repeatedly and replied, "Although I'm not sure, the accent is indeed different from our Central Plains people. It sounds more like the Liao Dynasty."

Murong Fu frowned, thinking to himself, how could Qiuyu be related to the Liao people? He couldn't help but feel suspicious, could it be that Qiuyu had some unspeakable secret?

The more Murong Fu thought about it, the more he felt that something was fishy, so he decided to get to the bottom of it. So he took out another banknote from his pocket, handed it to Sai Mama, and said, "Sai Mama, this is another 1,000 taels of banknotes. Think about it carefully. Do you have any other clues?"

Mother Sai took the banknote, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Murong, you are so generous! But I really only know this, I don't know the rest."

"A Liao person?" Murong Fu frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "How could Qiuyu know such a person?" He turned to look at Mother Sai and asked, "Mother Sai, does this person really know Qiuyu?"

Mother Sai looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before answering, "This... I'm not too sure. But according to common sense, if he didn't know her, why would he come up and ask for Qiuyu's redemption right away? And he offered such a high price. I, mother, sold Miss Qiuyu to him directly for the sake of money."

Murong Fu's face became more and more gloomy. He felt that this matter was a bit strange. Qiuyu had always been the most popular top girl in Wanhua Tower. How could she be redeemed by a stranger? And who was this Liao countryman? What was the relationship between him and Qiuyu?

Seeing Murong Fu remained silent, Mother Sai raised her lips slightly, revealing a flattering smile, and said softly, "Master Murong, which girl in Wanhua Tower do you like today? Although Miss Qiuyu is gone, we still have many other beautiful girls here, all of whom are both beautiful and talented. I guarantee that they will satisfy you."

Upon hearing this, Murong Fu curled his lips slightly and replied expressionlessly: "No need. I have important things to do today, so I won't bother you. This silver note is given to you as a reward." After that, he casually stuffed a silver note of one thousand taels into his arms, and then took out a silver note of one hundred taels from his arms and threw it to Sai Mama.

Mother Sai happily took the banknote, but when she looked at it carefully, the smile on her face froze instantly. She cursed in her heart: "Murong Fu is too stingy! He is a rich man, but he only gave such a small reward. He is so stingy! He even wants to find out Qiuyu's whereabouts. I think he is daydreaming! With his stingy look, I am afraid he will never know Qiuyu's whereabouts in his next life!"

However, Mother Sai thought again. Although the 100 taels of silver note was indeed pitifully small, it was still money after all. As the saying goes, "A mosquito leg is still meat, no matter how small it is." Moreover, although the owner of Wanhua Tower has changed, the backer behind it is more powerful than before. She now has a strong backing and is not short of the 100 taels of silver. Thinking of this, Mother Sai's mood calmed down a little. She carefully put away the silver note, and her face reappeared that flattering smile.

……

Wuhen hurried to the pawnshop, looked around as soon as he entered, then walked straight to the counter and asked the waiter standing there, "Is your boss Li here?"

The waiter saw someone coming and hurried forward to greet him, saying with a smile, "Sir, I'm really sorry, our boss Li has gone back to his hometown to visit his relatives and has not been in the store for the past few days."

Wuhen frowned after hearing this, thought for a moment, and then said to the waiter: "Oh, then please tell your second in command that I gave him three days to come to Aolong Castle to discuss important matters with me." After saying that, Wuhen turned around and left the pawnshop.

At the same time, on another street, Huang Dujian was leading a group of soldiers to chase after Jia Laoda and his group. Jia Laoda and his group were running all the way, and when they were about to be caught up, Jia Laoda suddenly stopped, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and shouted to Huang Dujian: "Mr. Huang, look at the hot sun, the brothers are all thirsty, why don't you and your men go drink some water and take a rest first?"

Huang Dujian sneered at the situation and said, "Boss Jia, don't play tricks on me. We have been ordered by our superiors to arrest you, the salt smuggler, and we are just following orders."

When Boss Jia saw that Huang Dujian was not buying it, his face changed and he shouted to the brothers behind him: "Brothers, fight them!" After that, his men drew their swords and fought with the officers and soldiers.

Huang Dujian saw this and shouted loudly: "Boss Jia, don't refuse my toast. If you surrender now, I can let you go!"

However, Jia Lao Da ignored Huang Dujian's call and led his brothers to fight and retreat. Seeing that Jia Lao Da and others were about to escape, Huang Dujian was furious and ordered the officers and soldiers to chase them with all their strength and never let them get away.

At this moment, one of Boss Jia's brothers suddenly said to him: "Boss, you take the goods and go first, I will stay here to cover your retreat!" Boss Jia hesitated for a moment, but the situation was urgent, so he could not care about much and had to continue to retreat with other brothers.

When Huang Dujian saw that Jia Lao Da and his men were about to run away, he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to shoot arrows. For a moment, arrows flew towards Jia Lao Da's brothers like locusts. Although the brothers were brave, they were outnumbered and were soon hacked to death by the officers and soldiers.

Huang Dujian saw that Jia Laoda's brother was dead, so he ordered the soldiers to continue to hunt down Jia Laoda and others. After a while, another brother of the Salt Gang was also caught up by the soldiers and died tragically under the sword of the soldiers.

The brothers asked Boss Jia why the people of Aolong Fort were so disloyal. Boss Jia blamed himself. He had agreed to do business with Aolong Fort in the first place because he wanted his brothers to live a better life. He didn't expect to encounter this incident the first time he delivered goods to them. It was really bad luck.

The officers and soldiers found the salt gang hiding in the forest, and Boss Jia led his brothers to fight with the officers and soldiers. Before they could do anything, the officers and soldiers were killed by arrows shot from behind. Huang Dujian knelt down and begged Boss Jia to spare his life, but Boss Jia killed him with a knife.
