There's something wrong with me

Chapter 54 Lincheng Town
half an hour.

Xiao Wuzi walked and turned and came to the street in the north of Lincheng.

Before entering the palace, he was a native of the imperial capital, Lincheng, and was very familiar with the place.

And he knew that there was a 'know-it-all' in Lin Chengbei.

This was also the case when Xiao Wuzi was not yet in the palace. He was more of a knight-errant and often mingled with all kinds of people in the world, and then he knew about this matter.

But now six years have passed, and he doesn't know whether this 'know-it-all' is still around.

Similarly, Zhang Feng asked Xiao Wuzi to do this because he saw that he was once a "man of the world".

It is always more convenient and faster for people from the underworld to inquire about underworld affairs, and it does not interfere with their own practice.

at the same time.

Xiao Wuzi also looked like a gangster, lowering the brim of his hat while walking quickly through several busy streets.

We arrived at a large alley area.

According to his memory, he turned into a small alley that was only wide enough for two people to pass through.

After turning back and forth like this, he came to a building area similar to a courtyard house.

This is the old city in the alleys of the north city.

"Uncle~"

There is a brothel right in front of you, and people are coming and going on the small street, which is no less crowded than the bustling main street of Lincheng.

Xiao Wuzi didn't stop and continued walking towards the north.

After walking about two miles, there was another alley ahead.

"I hope Jianghu Know-it-all is still here..."

After praying a few times in his heart, he turned in as if he was familiar with the way things were.

There are about two trails.

He bent down in a deserted alley, looked around, and then patted the wall next to him.

Boom—

When you tap it, it's hollow.

'That's it! I found it!'

This was also Xiao Wuzi's first time looking for Baishitong. He had only heard that it could be found here before.

At the same time, a brick was removed from the wall at about waist height, and a male voice, sometimes hoarse and old, sometimes deep and young, was heard.

"Looking for stones and paths?"

"Incision?" Xiao Wuzi paused for a few seconds, recalling the "incision" taught to him by his former companions, and replied,
"Investigate people and ask questions."

If the answer is wrong, the people inside will evacuate from the tunnel.

Fortunately, Xiao Wuzi had a good memory and did not change the incision.

The man inside said again: "One or two taels of money for throwing stones."

Xiao Wuzi took out a tael from his purse without hesitation and handed it in through the small opening.

The person inside seemed to be checking the silver in the dark. After more than ten seconds, he said again: "Excuse me, young man, for directions."

"Rock fruit." Although Xiao Wuzi was a eunuch, his physiological voice had been fixed during the castration process, and now he spoke like a normal man. "Where can I buy this fruit in the city?"

"As far as I know, there are no rock fruits in the city right now," the person inside replied, "but in half a year, three people in the city will have them."

"Who?" Xiao Wuzi asked.

"Not enough." The person inside stopped talking.

Xiao Wuzi took out another one or two without hesitation and handed them in.

"Not enough." The person inside shook his head, "Two taels."

'It's so dark...' Xiao Wuzi moved the ring finger of his left hand, but still added another one or two.

The person inside said at this time: "Shopkeeper Chen of the drugstore in the north of the city deals in rock fruit and has connections in the southern border. He should be able to get it in half a year.

As for the other two, I am not sure, so I will not mention their names.

But if Shopkeeper Chen is not here six months later, I will tell you the names of the other two people if you come here again.

If I am not here at that time, at 3:15 on November 22nd, you go to the big willow tree in the north of the city, and I will ask someone to pass on the message.

Don't worry, young man. Since I've taken your money, I won't break my promise to you."

"Thank you." When Xiao Wuzi heard the familiar tone of the underworld, he couldn't help but miss the past and clasped his fists.

The person inside shook his head, "Young man, let me tell you something. You are too arrogant in the palace. You are no longer a man of the martial arts world, so don't practice martial arts etiquette."

I call you Young Hero because you once had a bond with the martial arts world."

The words fell.

Wow!

The bricks closed.

...half an hour later.

Xiao Wuzi came to the shopkeeper Chen in the north of the city.

Perhaps it is a warning from a know-it-all.

Xiao Wuzi also subconsciously relaxed his body and tried his best to show the carefree spirit of a man of the world.

And that's a coincidence.

Xiao Wuzi had actually heard of this shopkeeper Chen.

Because his adoptive father once worked in the harem and was also a eunuch.

But he has been dead for many years now.

'Perhaps he made use of the connections left by his adoptive father to do such a forbidden fruit business.'

Xiao Wuzi thought to himself, went to the back door of the pharmacy and knocked on the door.

Because it was late now, the front door was closed.

"Who?"

I followed Xiao Wuzi and knocked about a dozen times.

A middle-aged voice came from inside. It was Shopkeeper Chen.

He was quite brave, or perhaps because he thought the security in the capital was good, he opened the door a crack in the middle of the night and looked at Xiao Wuzi standing outside.

Xiao Wuzi was quite straightforward and asked directly, "Shopkeeper Chen, I heard you have rock fruit in six months. Could you please keep it for me? How much is the deposit? I can bring it to you tomorrow."

Xiao Wuzi now only had five taels of uncut silver and some copper coins on him.

He felt that it was not enough.

"Did you hear it from the know-it-all?" Shopkeeper Chen was a shrewd man, and he spoke it straight out, but he also denied it, saying, "You can't believe what he says. How could I dare to buy or sell such a deadly banned drug?

I don’t want to live anymore? Or do you want to live anymore? "

Shopkeeper Chen sneered a few times and was about to close the door.

Xiao Wuzi pushed the door and didn't let him close it.

But it was Xiaowu who made the move, and his body subconsciously bent slightly.

Shopkeeper Chen was knowledgeable and experienced, and he often prescribed medicine and treated illnesses in some wealthy households. It seemed that he did not look like a chivalrous hero, but rather like a servant in some wealthy household.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Wuzi saw the shopkeeper looking at him and subconsciously wanted to cover his face with his sleeves.

Just the faint scent of sandalwood brought by the wave of his sleeves made Manager Chen stunned.

'Mint flower? Cloudwood? Agarwood?
Oh no! It's the eunuch from the palace!

He was horrified and quickly said, "Please move on, dear guest. I don't have what you want to buy here, and I can't receive what you want!"

The imperial court has issued a clear order to stop the use of banned drugs. If he dares to say that he can take it back, wouldn’t that be courting death?

Not to mention that the other party is a eunuch who can rub purple agarwood!

According to the official position, he is at least of the fifth rank!
His adoptive father had just reached this level before he died.

Xiao Wuzi didn't move, but instead asked with a stern gaze, "Did you recognize me as someone from the palace? Indeed, your father is Eunuch Liang, so it's not surprising that he could recognize someone from the palace."

Xiao Wuzi had a fight with him today. He had to complete his master's order and go back to report the good news.

"You know my father?" Shopkeeper Chen paused as he closed the door. "Are you from the harem?"

"Don't ask too much." Xiao Wuzi pretended to be profound and said, "You help my master collect the medicine, and I will give you a deposit. When I get the medicine, you and I will go our separate ways."

Shopkeeper Chen did not reply but fell into deep thought.

Xiao Wuzi didn't urge him, but just waited quietly.

About dozens of breaths passed.

After thinking it over, Shopkeeper Chen felt that this eunuch didn't seem to be here to check on him, but rather to buy medicine, so he clasped his fists and said:

"Since the father-in-law has come to me, I also know that this matter is difficult to push forward. If I push forward, I will definitely suffer great disasters."

Although Shopkeeper Chen didn't know who the 'master' standing behind this eunuch was, he knew that he was not someone he could afford to offend.

After all, anyone who can command a fifth-rank eunuch must at least be a concubine.

"Now I only hope that when you get the medicine, you will show mercy and let me go."

He now just wants to distance himself from the matter as much as possible and doesn't want to get entangled with the people in the palace.

Because his father was a member of the harem, he naturally knew that the water in the harem was very deep.

Don't look at his vicious eyes, but the concubines and noble ladies in the harem are even more cunning, and they can play tricks on him in different ways.

Therefore, he did not want to get involved in the entanglement of the harem forces, and he did not want to know what Xiao Wuzi was doing by buying medicine.

But he must know that Xiao Wuzi belongs to the Seventh Prince.

It's not that he doesn't want to get involved, but he is trying every possible way to curry favor with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince.
