Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 3 Idle People Making Trouble
Yang Yuan landed on the ground with both feet, shook his numb hands, and immediately started to speak in a thunderous voice, so loud that the roof tiles were shaking.

"You bastard, I came all the way here with the food box, my legs are so thin from running, but now no one acknowledges it, are you bullying an honest man?

I'll give you a slap in the face first to vent my anger. If you provoke me again, I'll burn your inn to the ground!"

Yang Yuan slapped the "minor official of the State Information Office" to the ground and immediately started shouting loudly.

He just wanted to make things worse.

As for the consequences of beating a minor official at the National Security Bureau, it was nothing compared to being killed by the furious young prince of the Jin Kingdom.

Besides, slapping a minor official at the National Security Bureau would not be a capital crime. As long as he survived, his brother could get him out.

That’s right, after coming to Song Dynasty for more than a year, Yang Yuan already has a “relative” here.

Wanyan Quxing was rushing over with seven or eight ferocious guards.

Just as he arrived outside Wugu Lunyingge's boudoir and was about to kick the door, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind the house.

Wanyan Quxing was the chief envoy of the Jin Dynasty delegation. Upon hearing the noise, he immediately waved his hand, leaving two people to guard Yingge's door, and he rushed to the back of the boudoir with a knife.

When he saw the situation behind, Wanyan Quxing was stunned. Others didn't recognize who the "old official" was, so how could he not know him?

But now, this powerful prime minister of the Song Dynasty was lying on the ground, his skinny cheeks were swollen, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth...

Wanyan Quxing didn't know what to do for a moment.

"What's going on? What's going on?" The noise here alarmed several people under the eaves in front.

Those people were waiting here to pick up Qin Hui.

Among them was a man in his forties, with a dark complexion and no beard. He was none other than Eunuch Li, the chief eunuch in charge of the Guoxin Office.

When Eunuch Li ran closer and took a look, his head suddenly buzzed and his legs felt weak.

Qin Hui, whom even the emperor was afraid of, was beaten up?

Qin Hui was also stunned by Yang Yuan's slap. He fell to the ground. When he looked up at Yang Yuan, there were still stars in front of his eyes.

Eunuch Li ran to Qin Hui and shouted in panic: "Qin...Qin..."

Qin Hui suddenly turned his head and looked at Eunuch Li with a sharp look in his eyes.

Eunuch Li was startled and immediately changed his words, pointing his spear at Yang Yuan and shouting angrily:

"Qin... Capture him, capture him for me. He actually dared to cause trouble in Banjing Hall. He is simply rebelling against him."

Two guards disguised as Guo Xin's servants hurriedly stepped forward and helped Qin Hui up.

Qin Hui calmed himself down, quietly took two steps back, hid behind the two of them, and lowered his head slightly.

Another soldier from the Guoxin Office stepped forward and held Yang Yuan down.

Yang Yuan jumped up and down and yelled, "What are you doing? What are you doing? You spineless monkeys, are you only helping outsiders bully your own family?

I came all the way from Houshi Street to deliver food, and even rented a donkey to get around. When I got here, the Jin people said that no one had ever asked for me. Aren’t they making fun of me?”

After hearing Yang Yuan's words, Qin Hui's frown relaxed slightly. Was the appearance of this person just an accident?

Last year, when Qin Hui was riding on a sedan chair from his imperial residence to the court, he encountered an assassin named Shi Quan, who tried to stab him with a guillotine.

At that time, Qin Hui had been prime minister for the second time for twelve years and had never encountered an assassin.

Because he had been at ease for too long, his subordinates became lax, and Shi Quan came close to him and nearly hacked Qin Hui to death. In the end, Shi Quan was outnumbered and captured alive and sent to the Dali Temple for trial.

Five days later, on the Lantern Festival, he was dismembered and killed in public.

From then on, whenever Qin Hui traveled, he was always accompanied and protected by at least fifty skilled fighters, either openly or secretly.

This time, it was because he was in Banjing Hall and was in disguise, without enough manpower around him, so he was taken advantage of by Yang Yuan.

However, if this was just an accident, a lazy guy who was cheated and caused trouble, then we have to make a big deal out of it.

Otherwise, if the matter got out of hand and people found out that he had secretly visited Banjingguan, it would ruin his plans.

Thinking of this, Qin Hui narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head at Eunuch Li.

Although Eunuch Li was ordering his men to arrest Yang Yuan, he kept his eyes on Prime Minister Qin.

Seeing that Prime Minister Qin signaled him to keep quiet, he knew that Prime Minister Qin had some concerns and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He was the person responsible for arranging a secret meeting between Prime Minister Qin and the Prince of Jin. How could he not be worried that this major event would be exposed?

"You unruly person..."

Although Eunuch Li wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, he couldn't just start something great and then not finish it.

He was trying to put on a show of scolding Yang Yuan, but Wanyan Quxing impatiently pushed him aside, causing Eunuch Li to stagger.

Wanyan Quxing took two steps forward, held down his sword, and asked grimly, "Who are you?"

Yang Yuan was handcuffed by two Guoxin soldiers with his arms upside down, but he was not afraid.

Seeing that the man asking the question was very young, with braided hair hanging behind his ears, a pair of big gold rings on his ears, a bald head with a small bangs in front, he guessed that this man was the young Prince Wanyan Quxing.

Yang Yuan yelled at the top of his voice: "I am Yang Yuan, an idler from Lin'an. What's wrong? I came all the way from Houshi Street to bring you snacks. Am I committing a crime?

I see that you are graceful and dignified, and you must be a nobleman. How can a nobleman like me rely on such a small amount of money from a commoner like me?"

This was pleasant to the ear, so Wanyan Quxing tilted his head, the big golden ring under his ear flashed, and he glanced at an attendant next to him.

The attendant understood and hurried forward and whispered, "Young Prince, this is the person I am talking about."

Wanyan Quxing immediately lost interest after hearing this. After all the fuss, the result was just a idler who came to send a "demand"?

His subordinate reported to him that a handsome young man was brought into Yingge's boudoir by Ah Man, but now it seems that he is nothing special.

If this young man was really Yingge's lover, why would he make such a big fuss, afraid that others wouldn't know he was there?
At this moment, a slightly teasing voice sounded:
"Oh, I was wondering who was shouting in my yard, noisier than the crows in the trees! It turned out to be you, my little prince."

Following the sound, Yingge walked out of the pavilion with light footsteps.

She was wearing a lake green short jacket with narrow sleeves and brocade edges, a pomegranate-colored flared skirt tied around her waist, and a pair of pointed-toe embroidered shoes with double soles.

Her hair was lazily tied into a bun, and it was wet and shiny, obviously she had just taken a shower and hadn't wiped it clean yet.

As soon as Wugu Lun Yingge showed up, he quickly made eye contact with Yang Yuan and then immediately looked away.

Yingge raised her chin slightly and sneered at Wanyan Quxing:
"Didn't I say that from now on, I won't care about you anymore, but you don't care about me either.

"What are you doing in my yard again? Are you being a jerk?"
