My princess connects yin and yang

Chapter 178 Is it good or bad?

Since they have already discovered this poisonous snake weed, they will not let go of this clue. If they investigate from this direction, they will definitely find something important, but they just need some means.

"Bai Yue." Nianyouxi held the snake poisonous grass, thought for a while and said: "Now go and find out where they got these snake poisonous grasses, whether they were picked from the mountains or bought from the hands of the people. Yes, and then check to see if there is any record in their warehouse, these things were bought by someone."

"Zhilan, go and find out if the old city lord has been hit by this poisonous snake weed."

Although it looks like the symptom is coming from the snake poisonous plant, it still needs to be investigated. At this time, only Zhao Zhilan can figure it out, so she was sent there.

After finishing speaking, Nianyouxi handed over a talisman: "I got this from Kisaragi, after the sun goes down tonight, you can take this thing with you and you can travel unimpeded in the City Lord's Mansion."

Zhao Zhilan took it and was stunned for a moment: "This, is this something from the Earth Spirit Sect?"

Obviously, Zhao Zhilan was somewhat resistant, after all, the Earth Spirit Sect was a crooked sect.

So using their things feels hot and uncomfortable.

"That's right, this is theirs, but since it can allow us to achieve our goal, whoever it is." On the contrary, Youyouxi thinks it's no big deal to take this thing out and use it casually.

As the saying goes, you don’t need it for nothing, and it doesn’t cost you money.

Zhao Zhilan thought about it, and felt that what Xiaoyouxi said made sense, so she put away the talisman.

On the other hand, after the young master went back, he stared at Sun Youcai closely, thinking that the person who poisoned his father was still unreliable.

But he didn't expect that at night, Zhao Zhilan would come to the mansion.

In the city lord's room, the young master was guarding the bedside.

"Father, there have been a lot of things happening in the city recently, and it would be impossible without you to solve them yourself. The people below are always ineffective."

"Xiangu said that your body will recover soon. After your father recovers from his illness, you must treat those people well."

Although this Eldest Young Master always looks not very smart, but he is sincerely thinking about the Crescent Moon City.

After Zhao Zhilan entered the door, she quietly hid aside, she was still waiting for the opportunity.

The old city lord leaned on the pillow, his face pale and weakened: "They all thought that I was dying, and they all thought about how to find a home for themselves and find a way out. This is the so-called man-made money, dead birds die for food, so many years , you still don’t understand this truth?”

"Father." The young master hesitated, not knowing whether he should ask.

The old castellan was indeed an old fox, and he could tell at a glance that his son had something to say.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

The young master clenched his fists and said indignantly: "After my father fell ill, that Sun Youcai said that you were a corrupt official who resold some herbs in the city and received dividends, saying that you opened casinos and brothels in the city. .”

"I think he is slandering his father!"

After hearing this, the old city lord did not become angry from embarrassment, but smiled bitterly.

"Son, what Sun Youcai said is true, and he did it for his father."

After hearing his father's confession, the young master was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.

"How is this possible? All these years, my father has devoted himself to looking for things for the people in the city. How could he do these things?"

"Furthermore, my father once ordered that some harmful herbal medicines are absolutely not allowed to be bought and sold in the market, and even in some black markets, my father will often send people to search!"

"There are also casinos and brothels. How could it be that my father is running them behind the scenes?"

The old city lord coughed a few times, and then said with difficulty: "You can't look at the surface of many things, you have to think about the root cause, why don't I let the people in the city buy and sell those herbs, but I trade them secretly ?”

"That's because there are many herbal medicines that can save people while they are harming people. We can't let those who are waiting for the herbal medicines to help them die, so some herbal medicines can only be manipulated secretly."

"As for what Sun Youcai said about collecting dividends, that was a last resort. The money I collected was actually given to the people who went to the mountains to collect herbs, because those herbs grow in very dangerous places, and of course they would get more if they took the risk to pick them back. .”

"The casinos and brothels you mentioned..."

The old city lord sighed: "The brothels are full of prostitutes. Those women are from poor families and have nowhere to go, and they don't have any skills. The real villain is to leave these women alone."

"And it's not a brothel at all, it's just a teahouse. Because it's all women, it's rumored that it's a brothel. As for the casino... hey..."

"The casino was originally run by your brother and a few friends, but because his underground bank offended people, a few friends also ran away, and there was only one casino left. His legs were broken if he didn't pay the debt."

"He knelt down in front of me and admitted his mistake, and he swore like me that he would never touch the casino again in his life, so I can only help him temporarily take over the casino and turn the casino into a tavern after a while , we can reopen!"

Not only the young master, Zhao Zhilan who was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping was surprised at this time.

Unexpectedly, what Sun Youcai said was actually the truth!

No wonder the young master told them that the old city lord was a kind person, it was impossible to do these things, and his tone was so firm, it seemed that the young master knew his father better.

And this second young master is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!

After hearing this, the young master came to a sudden realization: "It turns out that the father did not do these things, it is the son who wrongly blamed the father."

"Sun Youcai thought he had the evidence of my crimes, and he threatened me again and again, and gave me the small money. It didn't matter to me, but later he became more and more unscrupulous, so I Teach him a lesson."

"In this mansion, aren't many things as clear as you see on the surface?"

The old city master spoke with great sincerity, and the things he said really shocked the young master.

He chatted with the old city lord for a while, then left first.

At this moment, Zhao Zhilan can also clearly investigate whether the old city lord's symptoms were caused by the snake poisonous weed.

Probably because he said too much just now, the old city lord closed his eyes tiredly, and didn't even notice that there was another person in the room besides himself, but he kept sighing.

"Hey...you can't die yet, this Crescent Moon City has not settled yet..."
