Walking out of the deserted area, the figure swaggered towards the downtown area and entered a large courtyard with a plaque named Spring Garden.
She observed at the door for a while. Ordinary people took a detour, and those who came in and out of Spring Garden were all well-dressed dignitaries.
Lin Yan couldn't help but guess that this was a place where only dignitaries from Pingcheng could come. He didn't know what was going on inside.
Out of curiosity, she walked in, but was stopped.
The guard at the gate said indifferently: "Please show the entrance sign."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I saw the man in the dark blue robe in front walked right in. Why can't I do it when I get there?"
"You need to check the sign to enter the park, please show it. No one is allowed to enter without the sign."
"Oh, how do I apply for that brand?"
The guard looked at Lin Yan indifferently and made a gesture to ask him to leave.
Lin Yan immediately understood that there was a threshold for entering Spring Garden. She said: "I'm new to Pingcheng and I don't know the rules of Chunyuan. Please let me know. If you want money or something else, there's nothing I can't do."
By chance, someone came out, and Lin Yan stepped aside.
She rolled her eyes and said hurriedly: "Wait, Manager Li, I have something to ask."
Manager Li was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Yan to make sure he didn't recognize him, "Who are you?"
"My name is Lin Yan. I just heard someone call you that. At first glance, you are the one who can take charge of Chunyuan. Unlike these few, you are too rigid and don't know how to adapt at all. I first came to Pingcheng and wanted to go to Chunyuan to grow up. You must have some knowledge, right?"
Manager Li immediately understood that he was a good person to be a manager. He looked at Lin Yan calmly. His appearance showed that he was not an ordinary person. He asked with a smile on his face: "Where did the girl come from?" I don’t understand the rules of Spring Garden for the first time here, so I’m here to explain it to the girl.”
"It's what I asked for." Lin Yan smiled like a fool, "I came from Yuncheng. I heard that Chunyuan is very famous, so I made a special trip here."
Manager Li smiled and said: "Since I came here specifically, I must have come prepared. The entrance fee for Spring Garden is not low."
"That's natural. I've heard about it. I just want to go in and feast my eyes on it. How much money will it cost?"
"Two thousand taels is just the entrance fee, and the expenses inside are not included."
Manager Li was satisfied when he saw Lin Yan's expression remained unchanged, and then said, "Chunyuan is a good place. The girl has really good taste. Come on, I'll take you to get a sign."
"Okay." Lin Yan looked impatient and followed Manager Li into the gate of Spring Garden.
It's really a unique place inside. When you enter the gate, you'll see a big lake. A circle of pavilions and pavilions is built around the lake, and a large number of lotus flowers are in full bloom in the lake.
"It's so beautiful. Spring Garden is indeed a great place. Just for the scenery, it's worth a visit."
Manager Li laughed loudly, "Girl, the beauty of Spring Garden does not stop here. I will introduce them to you one by one later to ensure your satisfaction."
Lin Yan pricked up her ears when she heard the frolicking coming from the attic by the lake, and soon her expression changed drastically, becoming one of anger.
When Manager Li looked over, she quickly put on a smiling face and switched easily.
It turns out that this is what Spring Garden is for, it is a paradise for the rich and powerful in Pingcheng.
Hearing the sound of a child crying from an attic, mixed with some kind of crazy and perverted sound, Lin Yan could no longer hold on to the smile on his face.
After enduring it, she said: "I heard that Pingcheng changed hands, but Chunyuan was not affected, right?"
"Don't worry, girl, Chunyuan is in compliance with the regulations. No one can do anything if they come."
"Oh, I just heard on the road that the Sun Alliance is unique and advocates equality for everyone. How can Spring Garden be allowed to exist?"
Manager Li said with deep meaning in his eyes, "Chunyuan is just a good place to enjoy the scenery, specially designed to serve dignitaries."
"I understand, I understand." Lin Yan suddenly realized, "No wonder, I just said that Spring Garden is so special, why didn't it attract the attention of the City Lord's Palace?"
"I heard that the Gu family collapsed, who is in charge now?"
Manager Li lamented: "Who would have thought that the Gu family would disappear so quickly. There was no Spring Garden at that time, and things have changed now. The current city lord's mansion is decided by Ye Meng. I heard that there is a steward named Shi Zhi, an old woman and a young boy, is nothing to be afraid of."
"Really? After all, they are the gods of Pingcheng. Listening to what Manager Li said, it seems that he doesn't take them seriously. Or is the master behind Chunyuan more powerful?"
Manager Li said proudly: "Huh, it's impossible for a group of outsiders to overthrow Pingcheng. Even if the Gu family is gone, there are still many people there."
Lin Yan readily took out the money. Fortunately, she was prepared and went to the bank to withdraw the money. "You mean the original aristocratic family in Pingcheng?"
Manager Li smiled and said nothing, neatly arranged an identity tag for her, and personally introduced the wonders of Spring Garden to Lin Yan in detail.
Lin Yan had a smile on his face, but his heart was already filled with anger.
The next day, when Lin Yan walked out of Spring Garden, he looked back deeply and left quickly.
It is indeed a gold-sucking cave, such a place should not exist.
Under the surface of poverty and backwardness in Pingcheng, there is another scene.
As soon as she returned, she immediately looked for Ye Meng and Shi Zhi.
Ye Meng saw Lin Yan's expression turned ugly and asked, "What's wrong? Where did you come back from? Who made you angry?"
Shi Zhi also looked at Lin Yan in surprise, rarely seeing her angry.
"Do you know Spring Garden?"
They both shook their heads.
Night Dream: "What's wrong with Spring Garden? What kind of place is it? What are you doing there?"
Lin Yan sneered: "An eye-opening place..."
After hearing what she had seen in the past two days, Ye Meng's face changed drastically, "The people below are hiding it really well, I will go and investigate it immediately."
"There's no rush. Chunyuan is just one of them. After the city was broken, the powerful people in Pingcheng were frightened. Only a year later, they started to make plans. Places like Chunyuan must never be allowed to exist."
Ye Meng stopped, turned around and said, "Actually, I'm quite curious about what Spring Garden is like. Those of us who come from poor places have really never seen the lives of the rich and powerful."
"You will know it yourself when you go to Spring Garden."
Lin Yan paused for a moment, "Those underage children in the Spring Garden are the most important. As for the adults, it is their choice to have fun. But the children are innocent and were pulled into the mud prematurely, ruining their lives. A lifetime.”
Ye Meng and Shi Zhi's expressions suddenly changed. They both knew where the bottom line of the alliance was, and children were never allowed to touch it.
Ye Meng immediately said: "I will go to Chunyuan immediately."
Shi Zhi: "I'm with you."
Lin Yan: "Check carefully to see if there is a place like Spring Garden. Since Pingcheng has returned to the alliance, it must act in accordance with the alliance's requirements. No one can be an exception."
When Ye Meng and Shi Zhi left, Lin Yan felt heavy in her heart. What she saw and heard today touched her deeply.
The dirty slums, the numb and empty eyes, the broken limbs, the blood and filth, all irritated her nerves.
