The capital always attracts strange people. When asked by the government, "cloud travel" is usually the most common excuse. Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian went to more than a dozen temples and palaces in two days and saw many strange people and events.

"Outsiders are not allowed to see you easily." Every time you walk out of the mountain gate, Fan Dajian would say this, "This is all the ability to eat at home. Without me introducing you, no matter how much money you spend, people will not reveal it."

"I wish you good luck, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with what Captain Hu said."

After walking for so long, Fan Dajian was a little tired and tired, and sighed, "Hu Guiyang's requirements are too high, and he is always tough. After thinking about it, we can only go to one place to find clues."

"where?"

Fan Dajian pointed at the Taoist crown on his head, "My old boss."

"Can you still go?"

Lingji Palace once handed over Fan Dajian as a scapegoat, and the relationship between the two sides was very tense. Fan Dajian snorted heavily, "What can I not go? They are embarrassed to see me."

That being said, Fan Dajian still didn't go to Lingji Palace and sent a firework Taoist to invite an old friend over.

Pang Dazhi is Fan Dajian's junior brother. He started a little later. He also has a handsome face. He is between the age of thirty and eighty, which is quite intimidating.

The two met, laughed with their arms, one said, "Don't be fine", the other said, "I want to kill me." Then they supported each other into the backyard, Yuan Mao followed behind, even a little jealous.

Old Dao Fan doesn't seem to lack friends at all.

The dishes were already set, and Pang Dazhi frowned slightly, "How can there be wine and meat? Senior brother broke the precept?"

"My junior brother read it wrong. This is not wine, nor is it meat. One is the immortal in the cup and the other is the essence of the beast. Heaven and earth are born to nourish everyone. You must taste it, you must eat it. You must taste it and be refreshed. Taking a bite to prolong your life is equivalent to ten years of hard practice."

Pang Dazhi deeply agreed, "Since it was recommended by my senior brother, I was disrespectful. Today I have to fight for my life. I want to practice it for decades."

At the banquet table, I heard that Yuan Mao was just a lieutenant in Jinyi. Pang Dazhi didn't take it too seriously, but was more interested in Erlang Temple. He asked about his family's fortune and whether there were many channels to make money. He was very envious of Fan Dajian's identity as the temple owner. "I would rather be the head of a chicken and don't do the cow. Lingji Palace had a look of airs, and raised hundreds of people from all over the country. How many people could really get the benefits? The rest were nothing more than just a ox and a horse. In this way, they had to bleed frequently and give meat to them."

Pang Dazhi did not treat Yuan Mao as an outsider. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he began to complain. Fan Dajian persuaded him and asked with the opportunity: "I heard that several real people were recruited into the palace to make medicine. Once they make contributions, won't everyone benefit from it? I don't have such benefits."

"Hey, but I have to make a real contribution, I..." Pang Dazhi glanced at Yuan Mao and didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, Yuan Mao serves in the Nanshi Department of the Jinyiwei, and does not investigate cases, but only cares about documents."

Yuan Mao also smiled and said, "I am humble in my position and have a short position. I like to listen to things related to the palace. It is rare to meet an insider like Zheng Ren Pang, so I can't let it go. Come on, I'll give you three glasses of wine first and ask the real person to have a good time."

Pang Dazhi held the mouth of the wine glass and said seriously: "This is not wine."

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

The three of them drank several glasses in a row. Pang Dazhi had a poor alcohol tolerance and was already a little dizzy. He said, "It is rumored in Lingji Palace that several real-life medicines that entered the palace failed and made a bunch of messy things. Long Yan was furious and wanted to send them to the frontier. Hehe, when he entered the palace, everyone snatched their heads. Now those who have not been able to go are all grateful, but those who have gone regretted Mo Di and laughed to death."

Pang Dazhi was complacent and became more and more unrestrained. "If you want to say that these real people are unlucky, you think that Li Xian is really capable and it is easy to create immortal medicine. Don't think about it. How can there be such a simple thing in the world? Not to mention Lingji Palace, just say that all monks and Taoist sects in the world have been refining elixirs for thousands of years. Who really made the immortal pill?"

"We want to create the immortal pill in the palace?" Fan Dajian asked.

"What else can it be except for the immortality pill? Li Xianchang is hard to ride a tiger this time. I heard that he was so worried that he even lost all his hair. Poor those real people also want to follow melons and fall down. Lao Fan, you can come back then."

Fan Dajian shook his head, "You just said that after Ning Wei's head and no ox, I'm very good at Erlang Temple, and I'm going to make a fortune soon."

Pang Dazhi's eyes immediately lit up, "If you ask you, you won't tell me if you are rich just now."

Fan Dajian coughed twice and lowered his voice: "There are many spring courtyards in Erlang Temple. There is a Wuque Hutong outside the city. It suddenly rose last year and took away a lot of business. Of course, the spring courtyard in the city is anxious and asked me. They are all pilgrims from Erlang Temple. Of course, I can't sit still and watch. I am helping them mediate the matter. Once it succeeds, I will ask for gold and silver mountains, and the surrounding spring courtyards are willing to give it to me."

He let out a long and loud voice, not astonished as if he was very surprised.

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

"Haha, it's not that it can't be done, but it's more difficult. I have heard of Wuque Hutong. There are many reasons why it can attract guests there, but it's not something that can be easily mediated."

"It's a spring in Huhu, I know that I can solve the problem. In March and April, I can stop using this medicine in Wuque Hutong, and from then on, I will compete normally with the Spring Courtyard in the city." Fan Dajian was confident and looked confident.

Pang Dazhi looked surprised, "You even know this, and admire it, but how could you stop using the Wuque Hutong? That is their lifeblood. Without this thing, Wuque Hutong cannot open a spring courtyard, so you can only turn around and continue selling medicinal materials and fur."

"Haha, this matter is quite difficult. To be honest, it's still a big bet between success and failure. This time I made a big bet, won one after another, and lost all the money."

Fan Dajian went over vaguely, but Pang Dazhi was even more impressed, "That's you, I don't have the courage. Speaking of Manhuchun, I have a message, I don't know if it will be useful to you."

"What news?"

Pang Dazhi smiled but said nothing.

Fan Dajian raised his glass, "Lao Pang, have you told me that I have treated you badly over the years? Who brought you into the game? Who taught you the rules? Who distributed your gold and silver?"

"I am the name of Senior Brother, but I am the Master. I remember all your kindness in my heart."

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

Yuan Mao felt that the old Taoist was concerned about was becoming more and more biased, but he didn't want to interrupt casually, just listened quietly, occasionally toasting a glass of wine to fill the gap.

Pang Dazhi smiled and said, "I will be spared from Yinshan Yinqiu. I am happy to repay my senior brother's friendship. That's right, Manhuchun was created by Li Xianchang and several real people. It was originally intended to strengthen the body and stimulate potential, but unexpectedly there was another miraculous effect. They sent Manhuchun out not to make money, but to check the effect."

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

"It's three parts poisonous. The effect of the pot of spring is so good, it will cause death." Pang Dazhi lowered his voice, his face was excited, and he almost forgot about Yuan Mao who was present. "The death of Prince Concubine Lou a while ago was related to this."

"I heard that I blame him for taking a pot of spring as a meal."

"Hehe, my senior brother only knows one thing but not the other. Things are more complicated than this. When the palace had just built a Huchun, it was not sent to Wuque Hutong, so I found some acquaintances nearby to try medicine, including the Prince Consort Lou."

"After all, Prince Concubine Lou is a royal relative, but was actually taken to test the medicine by Li Zisheng?"

"Hey, what kind of royal relative is he? The only person who can enter the palace to His Majesty alone is the imperial relative. At most, he stands in the yard during festivals and mingles among a group of people and kneels from afar. Even if he has seen the emperor, there are so many people like this in the capital, grabbing each other. And when Prince Lou heard the news, he rushed to try the medicine. This kid is extremely lustful and wants to please Li Xianchang, so he will not refuse to feed him shit."

"Pay attention to your image. You are a real person in Lingji Palace, not a liar in the world." Fan Dajian showed the style of teaching his junior brother a lesson.

Pang Dazhi immediately said, "Senior Brother reminded me right. I was sloppy for a moment and I was guilty. In short, the prince-mad Lou took the initiative to test the medicine. I don't know what this kid was thinking. He actually threatened Li Xianchang with this matter. As a result, the medicine was stopped. He couldn't help but run to Wuque Hutong to buy medicine and die there. He was overestimating his ability."

Fan Dajian and Yuan Mao looked at each other, but no one expected that such a thing would come up with.

Yuan Mao nodded and signaled to continue asking. Fan Dajian asked in a chatting tone: "Strange, it's just a test of medicine. Li Xianchang is acting on orders again. What threats should Prince Concubine Lou take?"

Pang Dazhi had a little big tongue and smiled foolishly: "I don't know much about the details. I heard that the two had a public quarrel. It seems that the early spring of Manhuochun caused many inexplicable problems. Several drug testers were either crazy, internally injured, and had crooked mouths and eyes."

"It's all people like Mr. Lou? Li Zisheng is too brave. Is there a lot of trouble to find some people or prisoners in prison to test medicine?"

"I don't understand the reason. Anyway, most of the people who test the medicine were royal relatives and nobles with no status. The problems caused were almost cured later. Otherwise, the prince-consort would not dare to use a pot of spring again."

Fan Dajian nodded, but Yuan Mao heard the problem, "In other words, is there still cured?"

Pang Dazhi was startled when he heard the sound. He stared at Yuan Mao for a while before remembering who this was. He smiled and said, "Not everyone is so lucky, but no one has died. I heard that a few people have been crazy and cannot recover from normalcy. Mr. Lou probably wants to threaten Li Xianchang with this."

"Li Xian has the support of the emperor, who will the prince consort complain to?" Fan Dajian was still confused.

"Uh... Prince Consort Lou is dead, no one knows Zhongyuanyuan. I just heard about these things. I'm just chatting at the dinner table, so my senior brother won't talk about it."

"Who are you telling me? It's not like our friendship, and no one else can believe me if I say it."

"Yes, we have the deepest friendship. When my senior brother gets rich, you must remember me. I took a fancy to a piece of land in the south and couldn't buy it without money..."

Seeing that the topic was about to change, Yuan Mao asked again: "Does Pang Zhenren know who is the one who has become crazy?"

Pang Dazhi blinked, "I knew one, it seemed that the younger brother or nephew of a certain imperial concubine, was working in the Eastern Palace, and he was very crazy. Several real people who entered the palace sent people back to Lingji Palace to get medicine. It is said that it was for him, but I have never heard of it being cured."

Pang Dazhi didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he began to ask about the details of "Silver Mountain". Fan Dajian said nonsense.

The three of them drank from noon to dusk. Pang Dazhi did not dare to return to Lingji Palace just like this, so they lived in Erlang Temple.

After getting settled, Fan Dajian slapped his forehead, "I forgot to ask if there was a strange ceremony in Lingji Palace recently, and you don't remind me."

Yuan Mao said: "No need. The information we heard today is definitely willing to listen to."

"What news? The madman named Zhang?"

Yuan Mao nodded, "East Palace, surnamed Zhang, I think I know this person, I have seen him in Yunyang Prefecture."
