Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 63: Erlang is making insinuations
With a song, Yang Yuan made Yuyaonu, a relatively unknown brothel singer at that time, famous.

However, that was just his first attempt.

He wanted to try this kind of ancient style song to see if it could work in this era.

Therefore, Yuyaonu still doesn't know who the singer is.

The brothel industry in Lin'an is so competitive that she could get into the Twelve Golden Hairpins with just one song, but she can't stay in this position forever relying on this song alone.

Therefore, Yuyaonu is now looking for him all over the world.

Yang Yuan made Mr. Qu famous with another storytelling work.

Mr. Qu is an acquaintance of Old Man Song, and teaching someone a storytelling book would take a long time, so it would be difficult to hide his identity.

Yang Yuan never thought of hiding, because when he decided to establish the "Youqiusi", Mr. Qu became his designated member of the "Youqiusi".

Once Mr. Qu becomes famous, he will frequent the homes of great scholars and dignitaries.

Mr. Qu is also a man of the world. It would be a good idea to let him be the messenger to guide the external business of "Youqiusi" in the future, right?

Speaking of stories, Yang Yuan has so many in his mind that he has no worries about ever being able to tell them all.

Not to mention "Flying snow all over the sky, shooting white deer, laughing at the book of the hero leaning on the green mandarin duck",

There is no mention of "Shenglong Dao", "Tianpeng Zongheng", "Ghost Blowing the Light"...

Even if it is an old-school traditional story, if it is put into this era, it would be a crushing and dimensionality-reducing work.

However, Yang Yuan thought it would be better to tell some old-fashioned stories first.

First, if aesthetic standards are upgraded too quickly, it would be easy to cause trouble if people cannot accept it.

Secondly, it also leaves room for himself. In case his aesthetic upgrade goes smoothly, he can't go back. How many excellent works will be wasted?
What's more, compared with new-school novels, old-school novels are more in line with this era in terms of aesthetics and values.

Even so, he still has to choose carefully.

For example, "Journey to the West" worships Buddhism and suppresses Taoism, and was listed as a banned book by the Jiajing Emperor, who believed in Taoism.

Now it is the Song Dynasty, and the entire royal family has always believed in Taoism. Can this book be brought out?
For example, in "The Romance of Yue Fei", even if he changed the names of the characters and the background of the story, he could not take this risk.

Do you think the ancients didn’t understand what innuendo is?
A few years ago, the soldiers of the Sima Army stationed in Xixi Village of Lin'an Prefecture used spirit writing to pray for help from the gods.

They invited the Zi Gu Goddess to write a poem:

"I have been in charge of the Central Plains for twenty autumns, but I have not been fully rewarded for my achievements. My loyalty is as hard as stone, to whom can I tell it? I am left with only my wandering soul all over the nine states!"

Qin Hui immediately concluded that they were using the name of the goddess Zi Gu to redress the injustice for Yue Fei.

Qin Hui was furious about this and captured, killed, and exiled many soldiers before the matter was resolved.

As long as the old thief Qin is still alive, he will not bring up stories like "The Romance of Yue Fei" to seek death.

To be on the safe side, Yang Yuan chose "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties".

The previous one was about the Han Dynasty, and this one is about the Tang Dynasty, which connects them perfectly.

As for the next part, he already has a plan in mind.

"Snapped!"

Yang Yuan slapped his thigh and said loudly:

"The heroes of the late Han Dynasty were Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were Wang Xizhi and Wang Xizhi.

The three of them were united in supporting the Han Dynasty, and all their friends worked together to rebel against Emperor Yang of Sui.

The lingering hatred of Maicheng makes Baidi sad, and the desolate manor of the two wise men in Luoyang.

I would rather learn from the three sworn brothers in Peach Garden than burn a single incense stick in Wagang. "

Qu Jianlei's eyes lit up when he heard this. This opening poem was so enjoyable to listen to. It was so good!

Most importantly, he had just finished talking about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and this opening poem also linked the new book with the old one. Wonderful! Wonderful!

Qu Jianlei buried his head in taking notes, writing swiftly.

"It was during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui. One day, two escorts were escorting a prisoner to Zhuo County. The prisoner's surname was Qin Qiong, with the courtesy name Shubao. He lived in Licheng County, Shandong..."

Yang Yuan no longer remembered the entire story, but he still remembered the main plot.

He just gave Mr. Qu a general idea and let Mr. Qu enrich and complete it himself.

Therefore, Yang Yuan only talked about the outlines, and only when he remembered the most exciting parts would he talk about them in detail. Therefore, the story was told quickly. Qu Jianlei was listening, and suddenly interrupted Yang Yuan with some doubts:
"Come on, Xiao Yuan, how come there is a 'Youqiusi' in the late Sui Dynasty? Isn't 'Youqiusi' a company in the Three Kingdoms story you taught me?"

"It's in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', why can't it be in 'Sui and Tang'?"

Yang Yuan said with a smile: "From now on, Uncle Qu, no matter the books you mentioned are about history, cases, chivalry, or mythology, we should add 'You Qiu Si' in them.

"This way, your story will have a unique mark. Isn't this a good way to become famous?"

"Haha, that makes sense. That makes sense."

Qu Jianlei agreed with a smile, then immediately lowered his head, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.

The "Youqiu Si" mentioned by Yang Yuan once appeared in the story of "The Three Kingdoms" that he told.

At that time, Qu Jianlei didn't realize anything was wrong.

But in this story of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there is actually a "Youqiu Si"?
Could it be that he was alluding to...our "Jisi Tang"?
No, how could Yang Yuan know the existence of "Jisitang"?
Mr. Qu was full of doubts, but Yang Yuan took the opportunity to say, "Besides, there is indeed a 'Youqiusi' in our Lin'an City.

"Uncle Qu, you have made a name for them. They will naturally have a good impression of you. It won't do any harm to you, Uncle Qu."

Qu Jianlei was startled, and suddenly raised his head and asked: "What did you say? In Lin'an City today, is there really such a "Youqiu Division" that claims to "solve all difficulties and solve all problems"? "

"Of course! So please don't say bad things about them in Uncle Qu's stories."

“…, haha, okay!”

Mr. Qu quickly concealed the surprise in his eyes and nodded to him with a smile.

Yang Yuan coughed and took the opportunity to promote his product, “In fact, the reason why I know about their existence is because I once ran errands for them.

"When Uncle Qu tells stories, he will just treat 'Youqiusi' as an exclusive label.

"In the future, if any customer encounters a problem and wants to ask Youqiusi for help,
"Once you find me, Uncle Qu, you can tell me, and I'll help them get in touch and earn some money."

"Oh? Okay, okay..."

Qu Jianlei agreed with a smile, his eyes gradually becoming profound.

……

When Yang Yuan was talking about the "Sui and Tang Dynasties" to Mr. Qu with his private goods, Du Suo You Gaochu had already hurried to the Lin'an County Government.

By this time, the county government had naturally already closed down.

However, the county government office had a layout of front yamen and back house, and the county magistrate lived in the back house.

So Gao Chu did not go to the front yamen, but went straight to the gate of the back house, knocked on the door, and asked someone to inform him to go in.

Lin'an County Magistrate Xu Haisheng had fallen asleep with his 28-year-old concubine in his arms.

The weather is getting hotter, and Mr. Xu, who is afraid of heat, can only sleep soundly while hugging his wife Ru, who has skin as white as cream and is cool and sweat-free.

But just as he "settled down", he heard that Gao Chu, the commander of the left north wing, had arrived.

County Magistrate Xu did not dare to delay and immediately got up and put on his clothes.

Zuoyibei Wing was the largest wing under his jurisdiction, with twenty-three districts under its jurisdiction.

This is under the feet of the emperor, and the "Bai Li Hou" under the feet of the emperor is nothing.

In recent days, he has been exhausted by taking care of an old cat in Prime Minister Qin's mansion.

At this time, he didn't want any more trouble to happen under his rule.

Gao Chu waited in the second hall for only an incense stick's time before County Magistrate Xu hurried out.

"I am Yu Gaochu, the commander of the Beiyi Zuoxiang. I am honored to meet you..."

"That's all!"

Xu Haisheng hurriedly sat up at the head of the table and asked impatiently, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

Gao Chu hurriedly said, "Mingsir, I have found the lion cat in Prime Minister Qin's residence!"

Xu Haisheng stood up suddenly and asked happily, "Found it? Where is it?"

Gao Chu raised the cloth bag in his hand, just like when Xue Jiezi appeared in front of him: "Please have a look, sir."

County Magistrate Xu stepped forward and snatched the pocket.

After a moment, County Magistrate Xu's face turned as stinky as if he had eaten shit!
