How dare the soldiers guarding the city openly ask people for money?
Seeing that their leaders were all sitting at the back, they heard it without even raising their eyebrows.
This is a nest of snakes and rats.
After everyone cleared the customs and entered the city, they found a place to stay, which was called Rulin Inn.
Then, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui went to Xuncheng for a stroll.
The area of ​​Xuncheng is only half that of Yuandu, and the houses are more crowded. The advantage is that the living density seems to be higher, and it is not like Yuandu with ten rooms and three empty spaces.
After all, this is the capital city, and the main street has all kinds of hotels, restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, and even places for sensuality and pleasure. Business seems to be good, the buildings are brightly lit, and there are often people in luxurious clothes coming in and out.
When the wind blows, the woman's laughter and the fragrance of makeup are carried out.
But when you go back to the main street, you only cross two streets, and it gets dark on both sides of the road.
Few households had lights on, debris and garbage were everywhere, and the stench of defecation hung in the air.
The distance between two streets is like two worlds separated.
Sometimes there will be a few people sitting at the intersection, crossing their legs and burning paper money in the middle of the road. No matter who passes by, they have expressionless faces.
Several pieces of paper money were blown to He Lingchuan's feet by the wind. He looked down and saw that there seemed to be a big-headed doll drawn on the paper money. His expression was distorted by the fire, and only his eyes, which were larger than almonds, were still glaring.
After passing a few houses burning paper money, He Lingchuan and his wife took a shortcut back to the main street, intending to buy some cooked food and bring it to the inn for drinking.
After a few dozen breaths, the two of them passed an old locust tree, where someone was also burning paper money under the tree.
The two appeared and seemed to startle each other.
The men quickly grabbed the tablets on the ground, threw them into the fire barrel, and cast a warning look at the two of them:
Don't meddle in other people's business.
The memorial tablets were also made of white paper, and when the tongue of fire licked them, they burned to the ground.
However, He Lingchuan had good eyesight, and he could see clearly by the light of the fire. The tablet was half buried in ashes, but a few words were exposed:
...Master Mai’s spiritual tablet.
Soon, the flames consumed these words.
He Lingchuan was too lazy to look further, so he and Dong Rui continued along the alley, and soon returned to the main street.
For someone like him who loves visiting fly restaurants, he didn't dare to look for a small shop after Jin Bo's advice. Instead, he walked into a braised vegetable stall that looked clean and hygienic, and ordered some chicken feet to try first.
Then he pointed at the remaining braised vegetables and said:
"Wrap them up, we want them all."
There are seven or eight kinds of meat and vegetables here. In addition to braised goose, there are also chicken offal, smoked rabbit, smoked bamboo rat, and various small cold dishes. In terms of variety, it is far inferior to Sodin Island.
Before they came, the boss didn't sell much all afternoon and night, and almost fell asleep while lying on the chopping board. He was so happy when he heard this, he quickly got up and chopped meat into pieces for the generous guests.
He Lingchuan went to the wine shop next door and ordered a few jars of wine, put them all in the storage ring, and headed back home with Dong Rui.
￥￥￥￥￥
The people in the capital all knew about the great joy of the royal family, because King Wei ordered that for two days of celebration, each person could receive two kilograms of grain, two taels of meat, half a kilogram of dates, and ten candies.
So during the day, Xuncheng is as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Several shacks were opened outside the city to provide food and porridge to beggars and homeless people. As expected, everyone was happy.
When you first arrive in a foreign place, the hardest thing to find is connections. He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui to go to the land of fireworks to collect information. It would be best if any of the benefactors come from the palace or the homes of high-ranking officials, so that they can easily place the Eye Spider.
All information must be collected bit by bit, and the key is to follow the clues one by one.
The key is to touch the right vine, and then there will be melons behind.
But before Dong Rui took the money and set off, clues came to him first——
Ahao from Julu Port rushed to Xuncheng in a hurry.
Dong Rui stared: "Is there news so soon?"
He hasn't had time to go out yet!
"Yes, yes." Ahao, who had been riding a horse all day, was covered in sweat, "I got the news that the two gentlemen wanted! I treated the two guards to a feast of feasting and drunkenness.
I just asked..."
Dong Rui interrupted him: "Have you found out the origin of Ming Dengzhan?"
"No, no, that's not the case. This can't be found out!" Ah Hao shook his head like a drum, "But there is a new trend in the palace. Doctor Chen just received a reward not long ago, a huge reward! It's only less than ten
Let’s go to heaven.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Mr. Chen?"
"Ah, yes, the Imperial Medical Bureau has not been easy to work in the past two years. The imperial doctor even had his head chopped off by the king. I heard that it was all because of poor treatment that the second prince's condition worsened." Ahao licked his chapped lips, and He Lingchuan said
He was handed a glass of water, which he picked up and drank in one gulp.
He has been poisoned by others, and there is no need to poison the water.
"Mr. Chen, who took over as the Chief Physician two months ago, was originally just an attendant, and no one thought highly of him. The guards in the palace even made bets on how long he could last. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly recovered and the second prince's condition improved significantly.
." Ah Hao continued, "I heard that Dr. Chen has recently become a celebrity in the palace and frequently visits the second prince's palace to see doctors. Two days ago, the king rewarded him with several delicacies and tributes in front of everyone.
, I really envy others.”
Dong Rui clicked his tongue twice: "If you are so powerful, why did you only work as a doctor before?"
Following these words, He Lingchuan asked: "Why was Imperial Physician Chen directly promoted from Attendant Physician to Chief Physician? Is there no other expert in the Imperial Physician Bureau?"
That's several levels of promotion.
"Ah..." These three questions in a row made Ah Hao confused.
He would remember whatever the guards in the palace said. He really hadn't thought about these issues.
Yes, why did the attendant doctor suddenly become the chief of the Imperial Medical Bureau?
He Lingchuan looked at his confused expression and knew that he had no answer, so he turned around and said, "So, it's true that Mrs. Chen cured the second prince's madness?"
"It hasn't been announced yet. Once the second prince recovers, Imperial Physician Chen will become famous."
"Okay, great." He Lingchuan patted Ahao on the shoulder, "Can you find out where Doctor Chen lives?"
"Yes, that's great, please give me a day!"
Dong Rui threw him a pill: "Taking it will delay the poisoning for seven days."
While Ahao was swallowing the medicine, he suddenly heard He Lingchuan ask: "By the way, how is your accomplice? What about the tall guy?"
"Crack!" The pill got stuck in his throat. Ahao coughed a few times and drank a few more sips of water before he could recover.
"So excited? What happened to him?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Ahao waved his hand, "He didn't say anything when he woke up, he just cursed bad luck. It's not the first time he's encountered such a tricky idea."
"That's good." He Lingchuan said slowly, "I thought he wouldn't let you go, but it seems you settled it yourself."
The listener was interested, Ah Hao felt a chill in his heart. Looking at He Lingchuan's expression was calm, he didn't know if the speaker was interested.
He excused himself hastily.
After Ah Hao left, He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui: "Did you really cast a spell on him?"
Does this guy still use poison?
"Of course!" Dong Rui said proudly, "I will do what I say."
He couldn't wait to go out. He had He Lingchuan's money in his arms and wanted to go out and spend some money.
Oh no, this is business, business!
The past few days have been tiring with traveling and traveling, and Mr. Dong needs to relax and unwind.
The romantic places in Wudu are really prosperous. Which one is better for him to go to?
With an attitude of seeking truth through research, Dong Rui planned to visit two more companies.
But as soon as he stepped out of the inn door, two people rushed past him and almost bumped into him.
I couldn't see his face clearly, but I only knew that he was running extremely fast, so he had some cultivation skills.
