How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

"Great idea! That's a wonderful idea! Judge Sheng, shall we agree to this?" Yuan Wenchun asked Sheng Hong with a broad smile.

"Well, my Sheng family also bears some responsibility in this incident. Let's give Bai Ye twenty strings of cash. I wonder if that's appropriate?" Sheng Hong replied after a moment's thought.

"Haha, Brother Yuan, you'd better go to the pawnshop again and hide some of the items that were meant as betrothal gifts. That way, it will seem even more realistic and believable! Hehehe..." Jin Shuai couldn't help but burst into laughter, a smug look on his face.

Meanwhile, the elderly Mrs. Sheng, who was sitting quietly listening, was inwardly in turmoil—was this person who was speaking so eloquently really just a 12-year-old child? Such sharp thinking and outstanding expression were truly unbelievable!

With a smile on his face, Jin Shuai slowly spoke to Lord Liu beside him, "Lord Liu, look at Yangzhou City now, it's in a terrible state, with repairs needed everywhere! After I return to Tokyo, I will definitely report this to the old master and implore him to allocate as many funds as possible for the city's repairs." As he spoke, his eyes were filled with determination and confidence.

Upon hearing this, Lord Liu's eyes instantly brightened, and an undisguised joy appeared on his face. He quickly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "That's wonderful! If we can get more funding, Yangzhou will surely be transformed. At that time, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, which is truly a great blessing! Here, I thank you in advance, handsome young man... oh no, I hope you will put in a lot of effort!" His words were full of gratitude.

Jin Shuai waved his hand and laughed heartily, "Hey~ Lord Liu, you flatter me! You are devoted to the public good and fulfill your duties, always concerned about national affairs and the suffering of the people. These are just your duties. Hahaha..." Then, he turned to Liu Mama beside him and instructed, "Liu Mama, go and fetch five strings of cash to give to all the officers. The weather is unbearably hot these days, and everyone is working hard all day long. Consider this small amount as my way of treating everyone to a cup of tea to cool off!"

"Yes, sir." (This was a term used in the Northern Song Dynasty to refer to the sons of officials.) After Liu Mama acknowledged the order, she turned and left.

At this moment, Prefect Liu clasped his hands in a salute again, responding with a broad smile: "In that case, I, on behalf of all the yamen runners, thank you for your generous gift, handsome young man. In the next two days, I will certainly make proper arrangements for everything and will not let you down!" His attitude was so sincere that he seemed to regard Marshal Jin as an honored guest.

Just then, a servant beside Sheng Hong rushed in to report that the money transfer to the Yuan family had been completed. Upon hearing this, Yuan Wenchun immediately stood up and indicated that he wished to take his leave. Sheng Hong, seeing this, did not try to stop him, but merely nodded slightly. Yuan Wenchun, however, appeared quite modest and humble. He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, requesting that no one present see him off, intending to leave quietly to avoid disturbing others. Everyone understood and nodded in acknowledgment.

After Yuan Wenchun left, everyone took their seats again. The atmosphere relaxed slightly, and Jin Shuai, with a smile, said, "Now that the matters here have been properly handled, I am still interested in touring Yangzhou and sampling the local delicacies. Therefore, I cannot stay any longer and will take my leave now."
