Inside Zhenshun Gate, there are Jingqi Pavilion, Jingfu Palace, Ningshou Palace and Imperial Garden, which are the north gate of the inner court.

Generally speaking, this kind of place is the boundary that the five guards of the Forbidden Army focus on patrolling.

Next to the Zhenshun Gate, the turret that has stood on the city wall for three hundred years is the anchor of the back garden of the palace.

During the Chenghua period, rebels besieged the north gate of the palace.

It was the countless soldiers on the corner tower who fought to the death to prevent the rebels from taking over the palace.

Therefore, emperors of all dynasties would focus on guarding the turrets of Zhenshun Gate.

It was originally just one building, but now the surrounding area is divided into turrets, just like a military camp.

Unexpectedly, such an important place has become a hiding place for Fangshi.

Zhao Sheng still couldn't believe it, but he knew that Mr. Hai would not lie to him.

It was dark all around, with the palace toilet behind and a large area of ​​turrets in front

That’s the only place.

Zhao Sheng mustered up his courage. Every time he stepped forward, he was afraid that there would be arrows on the wall that would shoot him through.

But as he saw with his own eyes, the armaments here are now lax, and no one pays attention to an unknown person like him.

"The palace has tightened its spending several times, and the weapons and equipment are so wasteful. It doesn't look good."

Zhao Sheng felt that the palace was no longer so stable.

From small to large, today’s emperor can’t even control his own back garden, let alone the entire world?

I'm afraid that the Dali Dynasty, like this palace, is riddled with defects and riddled with holes, right?

He walked to the turret gate and saw a man lying on the Taishi chair.

The man wore a mask on his face and an ill-fitting iron armor on his body. The green silk regiment uniform that Zhao Sheng was so familiar with could be seen from the inside. Beside the Grand Master's chair, there was a long spear casually placed on the ground.

He is a eunuch, and the armor on his body and the spear on the ground are just his cover. This is too unprofessional... Zhao Sheng glanced at it and complained in his heart.

But it can be seen that this is really a market.

Zhao Sheng took a few steps forward and remembered that he wanted to hide his identity, so he put on his mask.

The man who was slumped in the Taishi chair glanced at him and deliberately lowered his voice: "Are you here to buy something or to sell something?"

His voice was sharp and hoarse, and he was definitely a eunuch.

Zhao Sheng hummed: "Selling things."

The man looked up at him for a while and suddenly said: "New here?"

Zhao Sheng nodded.

"You don't have to pay money when buying things. When selling things, you need to pay one or two silver coins first, and you have to hand over 10% of the transaction turnover."

This is too dark... Zhao Sheng took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and handed it to the man.

The man took it and laughed.

"You're a wise boy and you don't want to cheat. Our family... I tell you, be less careful about this place and this matter."

He raised his thumb and pointed to the side.

"Have you seen that river? Several fools have been thrown into it because they wanted to pay less."

Zhao Sheng nodded quickly and said, "I don't dare."

Being able to set up shop in a turret, collecting money openly, and even daring to kill people, it is obvious that the person behind it must not be underestimated.

"Did you bring any other clothes? Put them on when you get in. Don't be stupid. If someone recognizes you, don't blame us."

After the man said this, he closed his eyes and rested.

Zhao Sheng looked at the dim lights in front of him, and there were many figures. He was afraid of a mixture of fish and dragons, so it was better to be careful.

He put on his black cloak and walked in carrying a large bag of food.

After entering the gate, there are houses like military camps on both sides, with torches lit beside the houses to light up the surroundings.

These houses were all added later and look a bit rough.

And deeper, there is a solemn hall, with cowhide drums placed under the dripping carps on both sides of the eaves, and two stone lions in front of the door, majestic and majestic.

The cowhide drum is used to warn of emergency, and the stone lion is used to declare the majesty of the general.

But when Zhao Sheng looked over there, he only saw that the cowhide drum was covered with cobwebs and the stone lion was in tatters.

If Zhao Sheng remembers correctly, the corner tower here is under the jurisdiction of the Yulin Army, how could it become a trading place for eunuchs and servants?

He couldn't figure it out and walked into the deep hall.

The main hall is vast, there are no other furnishings, and all you see are people.

The market is built inside the main hall.

A place that should be hidden in a dark corner is actually placed here openly.

The lights in the hall are bright, the wind is blowing outside, and darkness is coming from all sides.

I wonder if Fangshi has parasitized the turret, or has the turret parasitized Fangshi?

"Selling something? Find a stall by yourself."

Someone saw Zhao Sheng and walked by, pointing to him inside.

Zhao Sheng nodded, casually walked to an empty stall, and unfolded the packed meals.

He glanced around and was amazed.

There are so many kinds of things sold in this market.

He saw someone holding a white porcelain flower plate and told people that it came from Qing Kiln and was used by nobles in the palace.

But the man was clever and said, "How can there be white ones from Qing Kiln? Your flower plate is also ordinary, you say noble people? Hehe, the most indispensable thing in the palace is noble people.

After Zhao Sheng entered the acquired third level, his hearing became better and he began to listen curiously.

The final result was that the man spent twenty taels of silver to buy the flower plate.

At first, he wondered why there was such a business in Fangshi. Everyone was at the bottom of the palace, so they dared to use it after buying this thing?

But after waiting for him for a long time, he will understand the reason.

In the palace, in addition to the hungry eunuchs, there are also well-dressed eunuchs.

They are not short of money and cannot enjoy beauty, so naturally they have to make up for it elsewhere.

The things used by the nobles in the palace were taken out and used outside their homes.

This is where this kind of business comes from.

Some of the items brought by the nobles in the palace were ordered to be sold by the nobles in order to subsidize themselves, while others were stolen by themselves.

He also saw someone selling waste paper he didn’t know where he got it from.

The paper is rice paper and has obviously been rubbed, but there are no ink marks on it.

Zhao Sheng knows a way to layer rice paper and peel off the ink-dyed paper layer.

This person used this method.

It was just rice paper in the palace... Zhao Sheng subconsciously stayed away from them.

In addition, he also saw someone selling medicine, and quite a few people bought it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Zhao Sheng used the Wuji Gong of Heaven and Earth, took a sniff, and found that those were medicinal materials used to treat trauma.

In this year, he has been able to make good use of this skill.

For example, he can smell the different smells of each person.

There were bruises on this man's back. He had obviously offended the nobleman and was beaten.

This person smells of dye, and there are unhealed wounds on his body, revealing the smell of blood. He should be someone who dyed the fabric inside. Maybe he was scratched during weaving?

This person has a delicate fragrance, which is expensive. He should always be around noble people, huh? There is also a different smell, like heather, mixed with seaweed...

Zhao Sheng's eyes widened and he hurriedly stayed away from him.

However, in this strange market, the best sellers are the meals and meats he brings.

After watching for so long, he found that only a few people came with meat and vegetables.

In fact, this is what Zhao Sheng is most confused about.

The food for various yamen in the palace is distributed by Guanglu Temple. It is usually cooked food and very unpalatable.

However, the General Office where General Manager Hai is located directly prepares the meat and vegetable ingredients from Guanglu Temple.

It’s cooked in the kitchen of the General Office, and it’s definitely more delicious than the one at Guanglu Temple.

Such treatment is rare in the palace.

Although the meat and vegetables are no longer fresh enough, they are still edible.

If some yamen want to open small stoves, they will ask people to come and buy them.

Zhao Sheng sold them at the price given by Mr. Hai, and within half an hour, they were all sold out.

Two taels of silver per pound of meat is very expensive.

But under the emperor’s feet, it’s normal for things to be expensive.

The harvest was quite good this time. We sold all the meat, vegetables, melons and fruits, making a profit of thirty-six taels.

If you pay 10% of the water, you will get thirty-two taels and four cents.

Okay, okay, pretty good.

Zhao Sheng stood up to close the stall, with other calculations in mind.
