  The person opposite who sells braised dishes once told Chen Yuan that he had a paternal uncle working in the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison, and when Chen Yuan found him, he didn't say much and took Chen Yuan to the outside of the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison. He found his paternal uncle and paid two taels of silver, after which the man agreed to go inside and discuss with the prison head.

  Chen Yuan and the salted meat seller waited at the gate, and before long, he saw his brother come out again: "According to reason, a death row inmate should not be seen by anyone before his execution, but I managed to persuade the prison head that it was just someone entrusted to pay respects to the prisoner. Fortunately, the prisoner had already confessed and signed, otherwise, there would have been no way to see him."

  Chen Yuan hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, big brother. Tonight, I'll invite you to drink and hope you will honor me with your presence."

  That household's elder brother shook his head, pointing at the one selling braised meat: "Forget about drinking, this is my brother, I'll naturally take care of his matters. It's just that after going in and seeing the prison head, we can't avoid taking out some more silver coins, don't be stingy."

  In the prison head's place, Chen Yuan took out twenty taels of silver. Only then did he see Yan Cha-san, who had been beaten and was wearing iron fetters in the death row prison.

  At first glance at Yan Zha's scattered appearance, Chen Yuan felt that he didn't seem like a bad person, and couldn't even be considered a Jianghu person.

  Physically weak and bookish in appearance, completely incompatible with Bai Yutang's demeanor.

  "Yan Zhasan? Brother Yan?" Chen Yuan called out in a low voice, Yan Zhasan turned his head around, although he was wearing shackles, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was standard bookish etiquette: "Is this gentleman calling me?"

  Chen Yuan smiled: "Is there another Yan Cha San here?"

  Yan Cha thought for a moment and then said: "Please forgive me for not returning the courtesy, as I have shackles on my body. But, brother, how do we know each other?"

  Chen Yuan shook his head, could he still be thinking about returning the favor at this time? He didn't say anything else, took out some wine and dishes from the food box: "I don't know him, I just received someone's entrustment to deliver some food and take a look if he was beaten."

  Yan Cha smiled wryly: "I am a man about to die, who would be willing to waste their fists on me? Who entrusted you with this task?"

  Chen Yuan remembered now, in the case of Judge Bao, there was a person named Yan Chasan. Later, he seemed to have become an apprentice of Judge Bao. Since there is a later, then he will not die.

  "Don't worry, you won't die. Just eat these and I'll be off for now. I'll come visit often in the future."

  Yan Zhasan picked up the roasted chicken with his hands, took a bite, and smiled somewhat self-mockingly: "I, Yan Zhasan, a scholar, am not long for this world. Yet someone still remembers me; I have no more regrets."

  Chen Yuan asked some irrelevant questions, such as how his body was and what kind of clothes he needed. Yan Zha didn't have any special requests, only asking Chen Yuan not to worry about him anymore.

  Seeing that the dawn was already coming, Chen Yuan thought that the wine shop would soon be crowded with people, and he didn't say much more. He picked up the things Yan Cha had not finished eating, turned around and bid farewell.

  Chen Yuan thought to himself, now that he had fulfilled Bai Yutang's entrustment, it was better for him to have less contact with these people in the future. They were rivers and lakes people who would turn against you and draw their knives at any moment, not to mention they might drag him into Bao Zheng's affairs, so it was best to keep some distance from them.

  But things developed beyond Chen Yuan's expectations. His front foot had just sold the gate of Kaifeng Prefecture's great prison, when two figures flashed out from the corner.

  A sturdy man said: "Zhan Ye, this little guy doesn't seem to be White Jade Hall's person, he doesn't have any skills at all, did you guess wrong?"

  The person beside him was over 1.7 meters tall, which is considered a big man in this era. His face was as white as jade, with two sword-like eyebrows and a pair of bright eyes that shone like stars. When the strong man asked the question, he smiled and said: "Yan Chasan has no acquaintances in Bianjing, nor does Bai Yutang. He is willing to take risks for Yan Chasan by sending a knife and leaving a message to cry injustice, which shows that their relationship is not ordinary. Yan Chasan is in prison, and Bai Yutang will definitely come to visit him, but he can't come now, except for entrusting someone to come, he has no other way."

  The speaker was Xian Zhao, the number one chivalrous guest under Judge Bao's seat, a fourth-grade imperial guard with a sword, who was awarded the title of "Imperial Cat" by the emperor.

  And the person following him was Wang Chao.

  Wang Chao listened to Zhan Zhao's words and nodded: "Then what should we do now?"

  Zhan Zhao looked at Chen Yuan's back and said in a low voice: "Keep an eye on this man, Bai Yutang may go to find him again."

  Wang Chao smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Master Zhan. I've already arranged for two unfamiliar brothers to stay at the inn. If Bai Yutang dares to come looking for this kid, I'll make sure he can't escape."

  Zhan Zhao nodded, then suddenly shook his head: "Hey, this is all my fault. If I hadn't called him 'Imperial Cat', Bai Yutang wouldn't have come to bother me."

  The king, however, did not have the same temperament as Zhao. In his opinion, the whole thing was just Bai Yutang making a fuss over nothing.

  He stood on the side of the government and thought about the problem, naturally he didn't know that Bai Yutang and others were called "Five Rats", Zhan Zhao was suddenly called a "cat", in the eyes of the Jianghu people, this is a provocation.

  The other four mice were older and could turn around, but Bai Yutang was young and vigorous, so he came to Bianjing just to find this cat to play with.

  Chen Yuan had no idea that he was getting deeper and deeper into the whirlpool. During this time when he came to visit Yan Cha San, two groups of people had already moved into "Yue Lai Inn".

  One group was from Kaifeng Prefecture, while the other was from the Tai Shi Prefecture.

  The Tai Shi Fu never gave up pursuing the woman, although they told the Emperor that the fight was just because some Jianghu people were fighting in front of the door and the guards of the Tai Shi Fu got involved to ensure the safety of the mansion, but actually it wasn't like that.

  Pang Taishi has given a secret order, no matter what, to capture the woman and bring her back, or kill her on the spot. The woman has something in her hand that must be brought back. Under no circumstances can she be allowed to escape or fall into someone else's hands.

  They investigated all the way down, and finally the clue was cut off at the Bin Yue Building.

  That morning, Chen Yuan was the first person to arrive at Bin Yue Lou and even pushed a wine barrel away. So now, the Taishi Fu has begun to take notice of Chen Yuan.

  They just didn't want to make a move yet and didn't want to stir up trouble, so they sent one person to infiltrate the Yue Lai Inn to gather information about Chen Yuan.

  Chen Yuan was completely unaware of this, he had no idea about all this, and in his heart, he was still thinking that after getting rid of Bai Yutang today, as long as he handled the matter with the woman properly, he would be able to stay out of it.

  Back at the inn, Chen Yuan continued to manage his wine shop as usual.

  It has to be admitted that Chen Yuan indeed had some skills in doing business. The shop hadn't even opened yet, but there were already several wine dealers waiting outside. This was something that never happened when Yang Zhuang operated the wine shop.
