Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 106 Before I could speak
After leaving Phoenix Mountain, Yang Yuan first went to "Shuiyunjian".

He asked Dan Niang to find someone to frame the original works of Lu You, Fan Chengda and Yang Wanli, and then hung them in the store.

When Dan Niang heard him say that after these high school graduates passed the exams in a few days, they would have a sensational effect on "Shuiyunjian", she was somewhat skeptical.

Who can be sure that he will pass the high school?
What’s more, there are three of them.

However, if it is true as the great official said, then "Shuiyunjian" will really become a resounding golden signboard!
It will stand forever.

So, just listen to it.

The two of them also analyzed the trap set for Wanyan Quxing today.

Dan Niang was already certain that Wanyan Quxing had taken the bait.

Tomorrow he will represent the Jin Kingdom to formally go to the court to congratulate the Emperor of the Song Dynasty on his birthday, so he probably won't come.

But, in all likelihood, he will come the day after tomorrow.

The two discussed this further.

Yang Yuan also specifically reminded her: "The half-bald deputy envoy of the Jin Kingdom will also be with him. You don't have to worry about him. The bald man will not harm your business. He is the eyes and ears of the Jin Emperor to be beside Wanyan Quxing.

"Having him by Wanyan Quxing's side will not only not ruin your plans, but will also make Wanyan Quxing fearful and afraid to overstep the line with you."

Dan Niang heard the concern for her safety in his words, and her heart naturally felt sweet.

However, Yang Yuan ran away as soon as he finished giving the instructions.

Only Dan Niang was left biting her lip, looking at his receding back with resentment.

More than once, I was moved and loved by him, but he ran away without knowing it.

Every time it stirs up and down the tides of others...

This unromantic villain!
……

Yang Yuan was in a hurry to leave and go back to Qingshi Lane.

He felt happier than ever before.

The bluestone ground after the rain shone brightly under the light, just like his bright mood at the moment.

He decided to confess to his elder brother when he returned today!

With Wanghai Tower to watch the tide, and the prefect of Lin'an and his friends to support him,

He made friends with Master Lu of Shanyin, who won the first place in the lock hall test, as well as Master Fan of Pingjiang, Master Yang of Jishui, and Master Yu of Longzhou.

Especially, there was the invitation from Enping Prince Zhao Yu to Gushan.

With all these, he was confident that he could convince his elder brother's stupid head.
Let the eldest brother believe in his abilities and believe in the unprecedented career he has created.

Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable if he kept it a secret from his elder brother all the time.

He felt even more uncomfortable because he earned money but was afraid to spend it secretly.

Once the elder brother accepts the reality and recognizes him, he can take out the money openly.
I went with my eldest brother and chose a large house on Houshi Street to buy.

He and his elder brother will move there, and they will move Luxi over in the early spring of next year.

By then, my father-in-law will want to roll his eyes at me. Humph, he will have to beg me.

Hehe! By then, we can hang a plaque called "Fu" on the door of our house.

"Yang Mansion!"

The eldest brother, who is obsessed with reviving the family and expanding its branches, must be smiling from ear to ear with joy.

The more Yang Yuan thought about it, the happier he became, and his steps became lighter.

When he was about to reach the stone archway in Qingshi Lane, two men in blue shirts suddenly stepped forward and blocked his way.

"Are you Yang Yuan?"

Although they were on the street with many people coming and going, Yang Yuan was still cautious and said vigilantly: "That's right, you are..."

One of them raised his hand and revealed a badge on his palm.

"We are the soldiers of the imperial city. Something has happened to your brother. Come with us!"

The two men turned around and left. Yang Yuan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed them.

……

Imperial City Division.

Although Yang Che worked in the Imperial City Bureau, this was Yang Yuan's first visit.

In a room, beside the couch, sat Kou Heiyi.

The wounds on Kou Heiyi's face had already scabbed over, and his arms and legs were bandaged, still in the same state as they had been hastily bandaged.

It seems that he hasn't had time to change it after returning to the Imperial City.

He was sitting on a chair beside the couch, watching the doctor bandaging Yang Che's wounds in silence.

This doctor was Yuan Liyang, a famous doctor in Lin'an who was skilled in surgery.

Hearing the voice outside, Kou Heiyi looked back and said in a deep voice: "Let him in!"

As soon as the two imperial guards guarding the door put away their swords, Yang Yuan quickly rushed into the room.

"Big……"

Yang Yuan had just said one word when his throat suddenly spasmed and he lost his voice.

He tried twice but couldn't utter a word and could only rush to the couch.

Doctor Yuan, with his long, frosty beard, was sitting beside the couch, cleaning Yang Che's wound. Yang Che lay on the couch with his robe open, his chest exposed.

Next to the couch was a large wooden basin, half filled with blood and piled with pieces of linen used to clean wounds.

The wounds on Yang Che's upper body had been cleaned, applied with medicine and bandaged, but the wounds on his waist, abdomen and below had not yet been treated.

The wound was rolled up, and the muscles had turned pale white. Although it was no longer bleeding, it looked even more terrifying.

Knife wounds, arrow wounds, cut wounds, slash wounds, stabbing wounds...

From these wounds, one can imagine what a fierce battle he had experienced.

Yang Yuan looked at him in shock, opened and closed his mouth twice, and seemed to have recovered a little, but still could not make any sound.

He stretched out his trembling hand and felt Yang Che's breathing. Faintly, there seemed to be still breath.

Yang Yuan's legs felt a little weak. He held onto the edge of the couch and looked at Yang Che's lifeless face.

After a while, Yang Yuan finally regained his ability to speak. He said in a low voice, "Doctor, is my brother okay?"

Yuan Liyang continued to clean Yang Che's wound, apply medicine and bandage it, and said slowly:

"Your brother's injuries are too severe, especially the knife wound to his ribs, which has penetrated deep into his lungs. Now I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate."

Only then did Yang Yuan notice that there was still blood on Yang Che's mouth and nose that had not been cleaned up. Was this caused by a ruptured internal organ?
Yang Yuan's heart sank instantly. With such a serious injury, even in his era, it would be a life-threatening situation. With today's medical technology, could he still be saved?

Doctor Yuan cleaned a wound, applied ointment, and extended his hand to his young apprentice.

His young apprentice tacitly handed over a piece of cut linen that had been boiled in boiling water, and Doctor Yuan continued to bandage the wound.

"You are Yang Che's brother, right, Yang Yuan?"

Kou Heiyi asked in a low voice.

Yang Yuan glanced at Kou Heiyi, and at first glance, it seemed as if he saw a wounded black panther.

Kou Heiyi sat on a chair, the cloth bandaging his wound turned a dirty muddy color due to the mixture of rain and blood.

"Yes! Are you my brother's colleague?"

Kou Heiyi was somewhat surprised at his ability to calm down quickly. He thought Yang Yuan would lie on Yang Che and cry loudly.

Kou Heiyi nodded: "Yes! I am Kou Heiyi, the third commander of the next command post of the Imperial City Division. I am also your brother's friend."

Yang Yuan turned his head and glanced at the couch. Doctor Yuan was still cleaning the wound one by one. It seemed that it would take a long time.

Yang Yuan moved a chair over and sat down opposite Kou Heiyi.

"So it's Kou Dutou. I heard my eldest brother mention you. My eldest brother, what happened?"

Kou Heiyi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "My brother and I are investigating someone..."

"who?"

Kou Heiyi glanced at him and said, "This is not something you should know."

"I'm sorry, Kou Dutou, please continue. At least, as a relative, I should know why my brother has come to this point."

Kou Heiyi nodded: "We tracked that man to the warehouse of Longshan Wharf. Unexpectedly, the man had already noticed us. He deliberately lured us to follow him. There was an ambush there."

Yang Yuan said, "When I came in just now, I saw people from the Imperial City Department carrying corpses, and there were also several coroners following them. Were those dead killed by Kou Dutou and my eldest brother?"

Kou Heiyi nodded, then shook his head: "There were 39 dead in total, 19 of whom were soldiers who ambushed us. The other 20 were soldiers from the imperial city who followed me and your eldest brother."

Yang Yuan's eyes tightened: "It turns out that Kou Dutou and my eldest brother brought people with them..."

Kou Heiyi said sadly: "Yes, we brought twenty people, twenty people, and not a single one was left alive."

Suspicion suddenly appeared in Yang Yuan's eyes. He brought twenty people with him, and all of them died. Isn't this too strange?
Is there any hidden story behind this?
However, he also knew that there were some things that people could never tell him.

When an agent dies for his country, his family will only be told one result and will not be told the details of the mission.

He could only learn a little indirectly.

Kou Heiyi thought about it and decided to tell him what he could.

"After sneaking into the warehouse, your eldest brother and I split up and took action. He monitored the front warehouse, and I monitored the back warehouse. Unexpectedly, there were ambushes in both the front and back warehouses."

Kou Heiyi recalled the thrilling fight scene: "Not only did they have a large number of people, they also had powerful crossbows. I had no choice but to flee, and at the same time fired whistle arrows to signal the brothers who were ambushing outside..."

Yang Yuan listened silently, and heard the timely appearance of the National Trust Agency, and heard the dock supervisor and the mayor of Longshan City rushing over with their men...

Yang Yuan suddenly interrupted and said, "Are there any survivors among those assassins? We should be able to... get some information from them, right?"

Seeing Kou Heiyi's strange look, Yang Yuan said, "My eldest brother's life or death is uncertain. This is related to my brother's revenge!"

Kou Heiyi shook his head: "Those assassins were all deadly, leaving no one alive."

Kou Heiyi's eyes suddenly filled with hatred and murderous intent: "But don't worry. We, the Imperial City Division, will not give up. We will catch those people one by one sooner or later!"

At this time, a soldier from the imperial city walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Captain Kou, Mu Tiju, Commander Cao, and Deputy Commander Liu are sending you over."

Kou Heiyi nodded and slowly stood up: "Erlang, take good care of your brother."

After saying this, he walked out with a staggering step.

Yang Yuan sat silently for a while, then stood up, picked up the lamp from the table, and walked to the couch.

He held the lamp in one hand and gathered the light with the other, then stood there bent over to help Doctor Yuan illuminate the room more brightly.

More than an hour later, Yuan Liyang finally treated the last wound.

He sat tiredly on the edge of the couch, his back leaning against the bedpost, his clothes almost soaked with sweat.

Yang Yuan quickly brought him a bowl of water and asked hopefully, "Doctor, how is my elder brother...?"
