The capital can always attract strange people, when encountering the government to inquire, "cloud travel" is usually the most common excuse, Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian ran to more than a dozen temples and palaces in two days, and saw a lot of strange people and strange things.

"It's easy for outsiders to see it." Every time he walked out of the mountain gate, Fan Dajian had to say, "This is all the ability to watch the family and eat, without my introduction, how much money you spend will not be revealed." ”

"Thanks to you, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with what Captain Hu said."

After walking for so long, Fan Dajian was also a little tired and tired, and sighed, "Hu Guiyang is too demanding, and all the things he touches are hard stubble, thinking about it, we can only go to one place to find clues." ”

"Where?"

Fan Dajian pointed to the Dao crown on his head, "My old club." ”

"Can you still go?"

Lingji Palace once handed over Fan Dajian as a substitute for the dead ghost, and the relationship between the two sides was very stiff, Fan Dajian snorted heavily, "What can't I go?" It's they who are embarrassed to see me. ”

Having said that, Fan Dajian still didn't go to Lingji Palace, and sent a fireworker to invite an old friend over.

Dang Zhi is Fan Dajian's fellow disciple, who started a little later, and is also a crane-haired child, aged between 30 and 80 years old, which is quite bluffing.

When the two saw each other, they held their arms and laughed, one said, "Don't come to harm", the other said, "I want to hurt me", and then helped each other into the backyard, Yuan Mao followed behind, and even a little jealous in his heart.

Fan Laodao doesn't seem to lack friends at all.

The dishes have been arranged, and Da Da Zhi frowned slightly, "How can there be wine and meat?" Senior brother broke the vows? ”

"Senior brother is wrong, this is not wine, that is not meat, one is the fairy in the cup, the other is the essence of the beast, heaven and earth are born to feed everyone, you must not taste, you must not eat, taste it refreshed, eat a bite to prolong life, it is worth ten years of hard practice."

Da Da Zhi thought deeply, "Since it is recommended by my senior brother, but it is disrespectful, I will fight for my life today, and I will practice for decades." ”

At the banquet table, I heard that Yuan Mao was just a captain in brocade clothes, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but was more interested in Erlang Temple, asking how his family background was, and whether there were many ways to make money, and he was very envious of Fan Dajian's identity as the temple owner, "Rather than a chicken, there is a pair of shelves in Lingji Palace, and there are hundreds of people up and down, how many can really get benefits?" The rest of the people are nothing more than cattle and horses, and in this way, they have to often bleed and give meat to the top. ”

Da Dazhi didn't treat Yuan Mao as an outsider, a few glasses of wine went down, and began to complain, Fan Dajian persuaded on the side, and asked casually: "I heard that a few real people have been recruited into the palace to make medicines, once they make meritorious contributions, won't everyone follow suit?" I don't get that kind of benefit. ”

"Hey, but you have to make a real meritorious service, I ......" Da Dazhi glanced at Yuan Mao and didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, Yuan Mao works in the Jinyi Weinan Division, he doesn't investigate the case, he only manages the documents."

Yuan Mao also smiled: "As a humble person, I like to listen to things related to the palace, and it is rare to meet someone like Pang Zhenren, I can't let it go." Come, I'll toast three glasses of wine first, and invite real people to drink happily. ”

Da Da Zhi pressed the mouth of the wine glass, and said, "This is not wine. ”

"This is the fairy in the cup, and I'm here today."

The three of them drank several glasses in a row, and the amount of Da Zhi was already a little dizzy, and he said: "It is rumored in the Lingji Palace that several real people who entered the palace failed to make medicine and made a bunch of messy things, and Long Yan was furious and wanted to send them to the frontier. Hehe, when I first entered the palace, everyone grabbed their heads, and now the people who didn't go are all happy, but the people who go regret Mo Die, and laugh at me. ”

Da Dazhi got carried away, and became more and more open-mouthed, "If you want to say that these real people are also unlucky, I think that Li Xianchang really has the ability, and it is easy to create an immortal medicine, and I don't want to think about it, how can there be such a simple thing in the world?" Don't talk about Lingji Palace, let's just say that all the monks in the world have been alchemy and medicine for thousands of years, who really made the elixir? ”

"The palace wants to make an elixir?" Fan Dajian asked.

"What else could it be besides the elixir? Li Xianchang is difficult to ride a tiger this time, I heard that he is so worried that even his hair is about to fall out, and the poor real people have to eat melons and fall with them. Lao Fan, you can come back when the time comes. ”

Fan Dajian shook his head, "You just said that I would rather be the head of the chicken than the cow, I am very good in Erlang Temple, and I am about to make a windfall." ”

Da Da Zhi's eyes immediately lit up, "If you didn't tell me how to make a fortune just now, tell me quickly." ”

Fan Dajian coughed twice, lowered his voice and said: "There are many spring courtyards here in Erlang Temple, and there is a black magpie alley outside the city, which suddenly rose last year and stole a lot of business. Those are all pilgrims of Erlang Temple, of course I can't sit idly by, I am helping them mediate this matter, once successful, I want to ask for gold and silver, and the surrounding spring courtyard is also willing to give. ”

There was a long oh in a loud voice, and he didn't seem to be surprised.

"What, you think I can't do it?" Fan Dajian said angrily.

"Hehe, it's not that it can't be done, but it's more difficult, I've heard a little about Wuque Hutong, and there are many reasons why it can lure away guests, but it's not easy to mediate."

"Full pot of spring, I know, a trivial matter, I can solve it, in March and April, I can make Wuque Hutong stop using this medicine, and from then on compete with the spring courtyard in the city." Fan Dajian has a bottom in his heart and a confident face.

Huge Zhi was surprised, "You even know this, admire and admire, but how can you let Wuque Hutong stop using Manju Spring?" That is their lifeline, without this thing, Wuque Hutong can't open a spring courtyard, so they can only go back and continue to sell medicinal herbs and furs. ”

"Hehe, this thing is very difficult, to be honest, success or failure is still between the two, I made a big bet this time, won once and for all, and lost the family."

Fan Dajian was vague in the past, but Da Dazhi admired it even more, "That is, you, I don't have the guts." Speaking of Manju Spring, I have a piece of news, I don't know if it will be useful to you. ”

"What's the news?"

Huge Zhi smiled and said nothing.

Fan Dajian raised his glass, "Lao Pang, do you tell me that I have treated you badly over the years?" Who got you started? Who taught you the rules? Who will divide your silver and gold? ”

"It's called Senior Brother, but it's actually Master, and I remember your kindness in my heart."

"I'm not the kind of person who makes random promises, just one sentence: I have a silver mountain, at least share a silver hill for you."

Yuan Mao felt that Lao Dao's concern was getting more and more biased, but he didn't want to interject at will, just listened quietly, and occasionally toasted a glass of wine to fill the vacancy.

Huge Zhi said with a smile: "Yinshan Yinqiu is exempt, I am happy to be able to repay my senior brother for some friendship." That's the case, the full pot of spring was made up by Li Xianchang with a few real people, and it was originally intended to be used to strengthen the body and stimulate potential, but I didn't expect it to have another miraculous effect. They distribute the full pot of spring, not to make money, but to see the effect. ”

"The effect is good, even the Oiran in the city can't match its charm."

"It's a three-point poison, and the effect of a full pot of spring is too good, so good that it will kill you." Da Da Zhi lowered his voice, his face was excited, and he almost forgot about Yuan Mao who was present, "The death of Lou Horse a while ago was related to this. ”

"I've heard of it, blame himself, take a full pot of spring as a meal."

"Hehe, senior brother only knows one thing but doesn't know the other, and things are more complicated than this. When the palace had just made a full pot of spring, it had not yet been sent to Wuque Hutong, so I found some acquaintances nearby to test the medicine, including Lou Concubine. ”

"Lou Jie Ma is also a relative of the emperor, and he was actually taken by Li Zi Province to test the medicine?"

"Hey, what kind of royal relative is he? The person who can enter the palace alone to kowtow to His Majesty and the Queen Mother is the emperor's relatives, and he stands in the courtyard at most during the New Year's Festival, and kneels down in a group of people from afar, even if he has seen the emperor. There are so many such people in the capital, grab a handful. And it was Lou Yuma who rushed to test the medicine after hearing the news, this kid was lustful, and he wanted to please Li Xianchang, and he would not refuse to feed him. ”

"Pay attention to the image, you are a real person in Lingji Palace, not a charlatan." Fan Dajian took out the style of teaching his junior brother back then.

Huge Zhi immediately said: "Senior brother reminded me right, my mouth slipped for a while, and I was guilty of sin. In short, Lou Yuma took the initiative to test the medicine, and he didn't know what this kid thought, so he used this to blackmail Li Xianchang, but the medicine was stopped, he couldn't help it, and went to Wuque Hutong to buy medicine, and died there, which was really beyond his strength. ”

Fan Dajian and Yuan Mao glanced at each other, and no one expected to ask such a thing.

Yuan Mao nodded and motioned to continue asking, Fan Dajian asked in a casual tone: "Strange, it's just a test of medicine, and Li Xianchang is acting on orders, what is Lou Horse going to blackmail?" ”

Da Da Zhi's tongue was a little big, and he smirked: "I don't know much about the details, I heard that the two of them had a public quarrel, it seems that the early years of the full pot of spring had caused a lot of inexplicable problems, several drug testers were either crazy, or suffered internal injuries, and their mouths and eyes were crooked." ”

"Are they all people like Lou Horses? Li Zi Province is too bold, isn't it a lot of trouble to find some people or prisoners in prison to test the medicine? ”

"I don't understand the reason, anyway, most of the people who test the medicine are royal relatives and nobles who have no status, and the problems caused by them have almost been cured later, otherwise, Lou Juma will not dare to use the full pot of spring again."

Fan Dajian nodded, but Yuan Mao heard the problem, "That is to say, there are still cures?" ”

Huge Zhisheng was startled, stared at Yuan Mao for a while before remembering who it was, and said with a smile: "Not everyone's luck is so good, but no one died, I heard that a few people have been crazy and can't return to normal." Lou Juma probably wanted to use this matter to blackmail Li Xianchang. ”

"Li Xianchang has the support of the emperor, who does Lou Juma complain to?" Fan Dajian is still confused.

"Uh...... Lou Yuma is dead, no one knows about the original edge, I have only heard of these things, chatting at the wine table, senior brother will not talk about it. ”

"To whom? It's not our kind of friendship, and others won't believe me when I say it. ”

"Yes, yes, we have the deepest friendship, when my brother makes a fortune, you must remember me, I fancy a field in the south, and I can't buy it without money......"

Seeing that the topic was about to change, Yuan Mao interjected and asked, "Does Pang Zhenren know who the crazy people are?" ”

Huge Zhi blinked, "I know one, it seems to be the younger brother or nephew of a certain imperial concubine, who works in the East Palace, what is called Zhang, and he is crazy." Several real people who entered the palace sent people back to Lingji Palace to get medicine, which was said to be for him, but they didn't hear about curing. ”

Da Dazhi didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and began to ask about the details of "Silver Mountain", and Fan Dajian talked nonsense.

The three of them drank from noon to dusk, and Da Da Zhi didn't dare to go back to Lingji Palace like this, so he stayed in Erlang Temple.

After settling down, Fan Dajian patted his head, "I forgot to ask Lingji Palace if there are any strange rituals recently, and you don't remind me." ”

Yuan Mao said: "No need, the news we heard today, Captain Hu will definitely be willing to listen." ”

"What's the news? A madman with the surname Zhang? ”

Yuan Mao nodded, "Donggong, surnamed Zhang - I think I know this person and have seen him in Yunyang Mansion." ”
