At night, after the Su family went to sleep, Fang Ling took out the hidden silk cloth and stabbed it with stitches and threads, until Xiao Wuzi's voice came from outside.

After a while, the two of them entered the hospital one after the other. At this time, it was late at night, and the imperial doctors in the courtyard had already returned home, and even the envoys had fallen asleep in the side courtyard early.

came to the backyard, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Lin Mowen sleeping soundly at the table.

Xiao Wuzi pushed open the door, then took off the key hanging from Lin Mowen's waist, flipped out the account books and the like in the cabinet, and then smiled and said, "Your Highness, take your time, the servants are looking at you outside." ”

Fang Ling nodded, then sat down and slowly checked things like the transfer of items, but the records for several years in a row, all of them were about the entry and storage of medicinal materials, as for the items added first, most of them were mainly the things of the envoys of the side courtyard, and there was no medicinal material cabinet in the medicinal material warehouse.

It wasn't until I flipped through more than a dozen books and turned to the records of more than ten years ago that I found that there was a record of a medicine cabinet, but the medicine cabinet in the middle room was built by a carpenter who was ordered to enter the palace because the medicine cabinet was damaged.

Fang Ling frowned and thought deeply, he originally thought that this medicinal herb cabinet was copied from the house of a corrupt minister, and the dagger was hidden there, but he didn't expect that this was not the case.

In this case, who put the dagger?

Fang Ling thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out, and finally called Xiao Wuzi in and asked casually: "Xiao Wuzi, has anything happened in the Tai Hospital in the past few years?"

"Big deal?" Xiao Wuzi tilted his head and thought for a while, then slapped his palm and said excitedly: "Your Highness, there is really a big event." ”

"What's the matter?" Fang Ling suddenly had a spirit.

Xiao Wuzi said vividly: "A year ago, a female assassin was found in the palace. It is said that the female assassin's martial arts skills were very high, and more than a hundred guards did not trap her, and finally alarmed the Zhenguo Heavenly Master to take action and forced her to the Tai Hospital. According to the guards, at that time, the Zhenguo Heavenly Master and the female assassin fought in the Tai Hospital, which was earth-shattering, and almost demolished the entire Tai Hospital, and in the end, it seemed that the female assassin was arrested in the medicine storehouse. ”

Fang Ling's heart moved, if Xiao Wuzi's words were not false, then I am afraid that this dagger was really left by the female assassin, and if she could fight with the Heavenly Master of Zhenguo, it was estimated that she would be able to use immortal arts, and this dagger had immortal methods, and the two were definitely not a coincidence.

He hurriedly asked, "What about this female assassin later?"

Xiao Wuzi replied as a matter of course: "Of course he is imprisoned in heaven." ”

Fang Ling asked a few more words, and found that Xiao Wuzi was just hearsay, so he decided to go to Dong Canghai to ask.

After leaving the Tai Hospital, Fang Ling came to find Dong Canghai.

In the corner of the side of the hall, after hearing about the female assassin, Dong Canghai nodded firmly and said: "There is indeed this matter, I was guarding the side hall here at the time, and after hearing the movement, I also went to arrest the female assassin, but the assassin came and went without a trace, and it was really a hundred or so guards who did not help her, but many people were injured." Later, it was the Zhenguo Heavenly Master who made a move to restrain her, and it was at that time that I saw the Zhenguo Heavenly Master's immortal technique of calling the wind and rain. ”

"Then is she still alive in the Heavenly Prison?" Fang Ling hurriedly asked.

Dong Canghai frowned and said, "It's hard to say, the prison is basically an isolated place, and with the fact that she is an assassin, the possibility of living should be relatively small." ”

"Then if she is alive and I want to see her, how much silver will I need to clear it?" Fang Ling did not give up because of Dong Canghai's words, he insisted on asking.

Dong Canghai was startled when he heard this, looked around, and lowered his voice: "Your Highness is going to see the female assassin?"

Fang Ling nodded calmly, and did not say the reason.

Dong Canghai saw that he didn't seem to be joking, pinched his chin and thought for a while before saying: "This is not a trivial matter, it is said that the female assassin came to assassinate the emperor at the beginning, but was discovered by the guards. If the news of Her Highness going to see the female assassin reached the Queen, it would be very unfavorable to Her Highness and Niangniang. If you really want to go, then you must hide the identity of Your Highness. Well, if it is up to me to dredge it, I do know the guards of the prison, but these guys have a big appetite, generally speaking, even if the big officials in the court come to dredge, if they want to meet people, they have to ask at least 500 taels of silver. ”

"500 taels is not much. Fang Ling was a little surprised, he didn't expect to go to the Heavenly Prison to see someone who would need so much silver, but now he will be able to fuse the immortal technique of medicinal materials with one hand, and he will be able to get this silver in two or three days.

But seeing Dong Canghai, he shook his head and said: "That female assassin is different, since it was the assassination of the emperor, and it was done by the Zhenguo Heavenly Master, it is estimated that she is detained in the ninth layer of the heavenly prison, which is full of extremely vicious criminals." If you want to make sure that the prison visit is foolproof, at least this number. ”

Seeing Dong Canghai's three fingers, Fang Ling was really stunned and said, "Three thousand taels?"

"Yes, as long as there are three thousand taels, I can make sure that those people are tight-lipped about this matter. Dong Canghai nodded heavily, he knew the situation of Fang Ling's mother and son, and he couldn't get the three thousand taels.

Unexpectedly, he heard Fang Ling say: "Okay, you go and find out the news of the female assassin first." ”

Dong Canghai hesitated for a moment, but swallowed the worried words again and nodded respectfully.

Fang Ling took out another silver ticket, handed it to Dong Canghai and said, "This silver should be regarded as the cost of dotting, if there is a difference, I will give it to you tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Fang Ling actually gave a hundred taels of silver, Dong Canghai was really stunned and said, "Your Highness, this money ......"

Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Master, don't worry, this money is from the right way, you don't have to ask about the rest." ”

Although he said this, Fang Ling still sighed in his heart, if he wanted to see the female assassin, he would have to spend three thousand taels, which was an amount that he had never dared to think of before, even if he had this immortal technique, it would take some effort.

Although Dong Canghai was stunned, since Fang Ling had said this, he naturally didn't dare to ask about it, and in fact, even if he wanted to know whether the female assassin was alive, he also needed to deal with some people.

Early the next morning, Fang Ling went out of the palace gate.

In the palace, he is a little-known His Royal Highness, and out of the palace, he is a flat-headed common man who no one knows, and this identity makes him feel more relaxed and natural, every time he leaves the palace, the idea of leaving the palace with his mother becomes stronger and stronger.

Fang Ling came to the alley and was about to take off his palace clothes, but he saw something suddenly popping out of the discarded rotten quilt next to him, and when he saw it, it was actually the little white dog.

The little white dog barked excitedly, circled around his feet, and stretched out his tongue from time to time to lick, as if he was very happy because he was waiting for Fang Ling.

Fang Ling couldn't help laughing, squatted down and touched its little head, and said, "Since you are so patient to wait for me, then please eat steamed buns today." ”

The little white dog seemed to understand, and jumped up with joy, and the injured paw of the foot had completely healed.

Fang Ling took off his palace clothes, came to the bun shop and bought two buns, one for himself and one for the little white dog, and then came to Renxin Hall.

As soon as he saw Fang Ling, Xiao Si immediately called the shopkeeper Hu, and Hu Dahai respectfully welcomed him into the inner room with a thick smile on his face.

Fang Ling brought almost as many medicinal materials as yesterday, although there were only two ginsengs, but the other dozen or so medicinal materials were also valuable, all of which were rare and good goods on the market.

Hu Dahai sighed while calculating the price: "Brother Fang's owner is really powerful, I thought I would have to wait for ten days and half a month to have a batch, but I didn't expect it to be available the next day." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly, there are so many medicinal materials stored in the palace treasury, looking through the account books yesterday, the ginseng tribute in a year alone is thousands of catties, regardless of other medicinal materials, although the rotten insects are only a drop in the bucket, but there are also a lot.

Hu Dahai finished counting, gave the list to Fang Ling, and after he nodded, he took a silver ticket of 180 taels from the tent.

Just when Fang Ling was about to go out, Hu Dahai suddenly patted his head and asked, "Brother Fang, is there any good ginseng that is more than 50 years old in your family?"

"50 years?" Fang Ling frowned.

Hu Dahai said: "It's not a secret, tomorrow is the birthday of the mother of the city gate counselor Tang Daren, many subordinate officials are in a hurry to give gifts, this to the elderly, naturally they are to send some ginseng bird's nest and other supplements, and the ginseng sent naturally has to have a weight, so I think that more than 50 years of high-grade ginseng is the most suitable, if you can get it, I am willing to give 350 taels of silver." ”

"350 taels?" Fang Ling knew that the price was not low, thought about it, and had an idea in his heart, so he asked, "How many do Shopkeeper Hu want?"

"Two. When the shopkeeper Hu saw that there was a play, he hurriedly said.

Fang Ling counted the silver in his hand for a while, then nodded and said, "Then I'll send it to you early tomorrow morning." ”

Shopkeeper Hu was immediately overjoyed and personally sent Fang Ling outside the shop.
