Chapter 15 Arrangement

In the evening, night slowly falls.

As the sky gets darker, candles are lit one after another in various palaces and patrol nodes in the palace.

Although it cannot illuminate the entire palace like the lights in modern cities, the general main area can still be illuminated.

Only the relatively remote areas such as Leng Palace and Xinzheku were completely submerged in darkness as night fell.

Prince's Pavilion.

"Ten... Your Highness Thirteen! So much... so much silver!"

After Su Leng received the imperial edict, the so-called 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver that were confiscated from the Eighth Prince were sent to the Prince's Pavilion.

A whole eleven big boxes!

After one of the boxes was opened, it was filled with golden light, which directly illuminated Su Ling's room.

The remaining ten boxes were also filled with white flowers after being opened.

Xiaodie had never seen so many coins before, so she was obsessed with them for a while.

Su Ling didn't feel much at all. After all, these gold and silver only belonged to this world and couldn't be taken away, so naturally he wouldn't be excited.

"Xiaodie, ask the guards outside to prepare the sedan. I'm going to the Imperial Hospital to grab the medicine myself."

After Xiaodie watched it obsessively for a while, Su Leng said.

"..."

After Xiaodie heard this, if she was normal, she would say that she doesn't need to bother His Highness with such a trivial matter, I can just go.

But now, having just experienced the poisoning incident, she could no longer say these words.

She was scared too!

I’m afraid that something will go wrong with the medicine I took!

Therefore, after a slight silence, she nodded obediently and said: "Okay."

Originally, the Prince's Pavilion did not have special guards to protect it, but due to the poisoning incident, the palace guards who originally patrolled this area were transferred to protect Su Ling and were at his disposal.

When they heard that Su Leng was going to grab the medicine in person, the guards were all startled, but they all understood immediately.

This thirteenth prince was once bitten by a snake, and for ten years he was afraid of well ropes, and was afraid of poison!

It just so happened that they were a little afraid to take on such a thing, so it would be best if the Thirteenth Prince was willing to go get the medicine himself.

So, everyone prepared the sedan chair and carried Su Leng towards the Taiyuan Hospital.

At this time, it was completely dark. Although there were braziers and torches in many places in the palace, the light was still not comparable to that in the daytime.

Therefore, no one noticed that when the sedan passed near the imperial dining room, among the sedans carried by everyone, a rough money bag made of coarse linen quietly fell out from under the curtain at the bottom of the sedan and fell onto the road.

Soon, the sedan disappeared at the end of the road.

It took about a stick of incense after the sedan disappeared.

A short but stocky man wearing imperial kitchen attire walked into the road from the other end.

He was humming an unknown ditty as he walked. Suddenly, his feet tilted, his body became unstable, and he fell directly to the ground.

"Bad luck! What the hell?!"

The man cursed subconsciously, and at the same time, he grabbed the person who tripped him and threw it aside.

But after he raised his hand to the top of his head, he suddenly weighed it subconsciously and found that the thing in his hand seemed to be quite heavy. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put down his hand and looked at the thing in his hand.

When he saw in his hand a rough money bag made of hemp with bulging contents, he was overjoyed and quickly opened the money bag to check.

At this glance, it’s true!

Just as he guessed, it contained a heavy ingot of silver!

"Silver! It's actually silver!"

Instantly, he no longer felt unlucky, but felt that he was just lucky today! He actually picked up such a big ingot of silver.

Moreover, judging from the material of this purse, it is obvious that it does not belong to those noble people in the palace.

In other words, he has no problem eating this ingot of silver!

"Hey, I guess it's some unlucky guy's pension money."

After a chuckle, the man quickly zipped up his wallet, looked around, and when he found no one was around, he immediately stood up and left the road quickly.

Afterwards, he returned all the way to the imperial dining room and wanted to go back to his sleeping place to hide the ingot of silver. However, halfway there, he was suddenly stopped by a restaurant steward: "Hey, come here!"

When the man heard someone calling him, he was already a little guilty and was startled!

"Ah? Call me?"

"It's not who you are, come here quickly! The restaurant is short of staff now, please help deliver the food!"

"Oh, here it comes!"

When he heard that he was just delivering food, the man was relieved and no longer so nervous. He asked casually: "Master Steward, who wants to eat at this late hour? There are no rules in the palace, except for eating.

time, aren’t we allowed to turn on the stove at other times?”

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, or you may get into trouble with your mouth!"

The steward immediately shouted coldly.

Hearing this, the man shut up angrily.

Then, the man followed the steward to the dining room, where the food had already been prepared, but because there were too many, it was not the time for the stove to be turned on, and there were not enough manpower to find someone to deliver it.

The man took a look and found that many people were arrested temporarily like him, so he didn't think much about it.

Soon, the cooks who had been captured served a dish one by one and set off in an orderly manner.

A group of people walked in the palace, marching all the way.

Soon, the man discovered that the direction they were going seemed to be the direction of the clan's mansion.

"It turns out that man is hungry..."

The man suddenly had a look of realization on his face, remembering the news that spread in the palace today:

The eighth prince poisoned and murdered the thirteenth prince, and was punished by the current emperor and imprisoned in the clan's mansion to reflect on his mistakes.

It is said that the eighth prince was arrested early in the morning by Lord Song, the greatest detective of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was then imprisoned and interrogated for a day, and was only imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion in the evening.

"I haven't eaten for a day, and I'm a prince. No wonder the imperial kitchen breaks the rules and starts the stove in the evening."

The man muttered in his heart.

Soon, the group of people arrived at the clan mansion.

As they went deeper, the man couldn't help but quietly look at the legendary Zongren Mansion, which was in charge of almost all affairs of the royal family, and his heart was full of curiosity.

Suddenly, the person in front stopped very suddenly. The man was caught off guard and almost hit the person in front!

Fortunately, he reacted in time and stopped quickly, thus narrowly avoiding collision.

But then, the man looked ahead and his expression changed!

At this time, they who were delivering food had already arrived in a courtyard inside the sect's mansion, and began to deliver food to the side rooms in the courtyard one after another.

However, right at the door of the wing, there was a team of guards guarding the door, searching everyone who entered one by one.

This suddenly made the man anxious!

He still has that ingot of silver that he picked up but didn’t have time to put away!

Putting such a large ingot of silver on your body in the middle of the night without even thinking about it will definitely arouse suspicion!

Thinking of this, the man's first reaction was to find a place to hide the money bag on his body, and then take it with him when he left after delivering the meal.

But there doesn't seem to be any suitable hiding place nearby. The hiding place is too obvious and easy to be picked up...

For a moment, the man looked around anxiously.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on the water tank used to store water in the yard, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

…

Zongren Mansion, Jingsi Room.

This is where the Zhou Dynasty imprisoned members of the royal family who committed crimes.

When Li Wenfeng was brought here, he didn't make any noise at all. Instead, he sat down quietly, observing the situation of the sect's residence to prevent possible emergencies at any time, while thinking about the ins and outs of the whole thing.

During the day, he was caught off guard and was found, and he was indeed a little confused.

Later, the man surnamed Song put a series of evidence in front of him, confirming that the "Gan Qing Poison" was indeed purchased by the Eighth Prince's Mansion. He also found the servants of the mansion and confirmed in the form of witness that he had people take "Gan Qing Poison".

"Green Poison" was given to him.

Because it was the truth, he really couldn't argue with it. The only blame was that he was too careless and actually used the poison of this world.

However, this matter is over now.
