Chapter 561 Good advice

Thinking of this, he still warned uneasily:

"The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them. The capital is full of fish and dragons, aristocratic families form cliques, and the princes gather talented people and strangers for their own use. Miss Qiao can heal and fight, and can also disguise herself. Be careful not to be noticed by anyone who is interested. Once you are targeted by the powerful, I am afraid that you will be involved in the troubled waters of the dispute between the faction and the prince, and it will be difficult to stay alone. "

When Qiao Ran heard this, her expression changed and she sincerely thanked her:

"Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your kind words! I will be careful in the future and will not let myself get involved in the whirlpool of factional disputes among noble families and the struggle for power among princes."

Mo Beihan was right. Although she was the cousin of the General's Mansion, she was just a peasant girl without any status.

The aristocratic families in the capital may be wary of the General's Mansion and won't do anything to her, but it's hard to say for the royal family.

The fact that she is the master of the ghost doctor has spread all over the capital. If her two special skills of poison and "disguise" are noticed by the princes, then they will probably come to win her over. Go to your own camp to increase your bargaining chips for power.

And if they fail to win over, these people are likely to destroy themselves in order not to be won over by others. As the saying goes, "What I can't get, others can't even imagine."

It seems that in the future, I have to be careful to hide the three skills of Poison, Disguise, and Martial Arts so that outsiders cannot know about them.

She doesn't want to fight for power at all in this life, and she doesn't have much ambition.

In this life, she just wants to protect her family, cultivate land in Devil's Valley, open a workshop to make money, and be a small landowner with no worries about food and clothing.

Mo Beihan must have had doubts about his identity, but he did not continue to investigate further. He also advised himself to be careful about hiding his weakness and not to be too sharp and arouse the covetousness of interested people.

For these two points, she agreed with him. If he needed help in the future, she would help him once or twice within her ability.

Mu Er, who was outside the carriage, heard voices in the carriage and pricked up his ears curiously to hear what the two people were talking about.

However, the voices of the two people talking were very low, and the street was bustling with people, so it was hard to hear what the two people were talking about in the carriage.

It's just that the boy's voice seemed familiar, as if he'd heard it somewhere.

Could it be that he is really a servant in the master's house? However, when he took a look just now, he didn't recognize this boy!

In the carriage, the two of them were speechless for a moment.

Mo Beihan felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, so he opened his mouth to find a topic:

"I heard that you sent two barrels of blue water fish to the princess's mansion. Why didn't you send two barrels to me? I have always wanted to buy blue water fish from you. You said you would send it to me when there are fish. .”

When he spoke, there was still a little resentment in his tone.

He was the first person in the entire capital to order Bishui Fish from her, and he also helped her set the price to a high level, making it difficult for others behind her to negotiate.

She knew that she liked to eat blue water fish the most. If there were fish for sale, why not sell them to him?

Seeing him looking at her with resentful eyes, Qiao Ran smiled apologetically and explained:

"Isn't that fish the order Princess Ningyang placed when she saw me delivering fish to your house? I said I would send her two barrels of fish when these big fish produce roe. Your order, You still have to line up in the back. I’ll send you two more buckets in a few days!”

Mo Beihan was happy when he heard that he would be able to eat blue water fish in a few days.

"Okay, then I'll wait! In addition, send some bamboo fungus, spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms and fungus to the palace! I don't want to have to go to a restaurant every time to eat these."

Qiao Ran nodded in agreement.

Anyway, there is money to be made, so what gift is not a gift?

It’s just that there doesn’t seem to be another owner in Prince Dingbei’s palace, right? How could he eat so much by himself?

Shaking her head, Qiao Ran stopped delving into other people's family affairs.

I heard that rich people eat a large table of dishes alone and feel full after taking one or two bites of each dish.

The remaining meals were probably given to the servants.

The carriage passed through the crowded and lively streets, then passed through two quieter alleys, and gradually entered a very quiet long street.

Most of the various departments and academies of the government are located here. The Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College, etc. are all located here.

It was office hours at this time, and the street was very empty, with only some carriages passing quietly.

Arriving at the entrance of Dali Temple, Mu Er stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and raised the curtain:

"Master, Dali Temple has arrived."

Mo Beihan got up and walked out. After getting off the carriage, he did not go directly to Dali Temple. Instead, he stood beside the carriage and waited.

After Qiao Ran also got off the carriage, the two of them walked inside one after the other.

Mu Er, who was following behind, couldn't help but secretly wonder, who is this young boy?

How could he let his master wait for him?

Moreover, the master rarely takes the servants from the house with him when he goes out, and they are always accompanied by his personal bodyguards.

Today the master is coming to Dali Temple to visit the prison, but he doesn’t know why he brought this unfamiliar boy with him.

Could it be that some relative or friend of a corrupt official asked his master to bring his servant in to deliver things or send messages?

But don’t they know that these people were the ones whose master handed the evidence to Dali Temple?

Mu Er followed the two of them in confusion. The three of them entered Dali Temple and were taken directly to the prison.

It was Qiao Ran's first time to personally be in this ancient prison. When she walked in, she saw cells on both sides just like in the TV series. They were surrounded by thick logs, with straw inside and a bucket in the corner.

Some cells also have quilts, pillows, and even small tables, which look relatively comfortable. There are usually only one or two prisoners living in them, and they are relatively well-dressed.

However, in some cells there is nothing but dirty and smelly straw. The prisoners just lie on the ground to sleep, letting cockroaches and mice crawl around them. There may even be cockroaches and mice crawling on them while sleeping at night.

There are more than a dozen prisoners in some cells, all of them unkempt and worse than beggars on the street. When they see someone coming, they rush over and stretch out their hands through the gaps between the logs to beg for something or cry out for mercy.

Some people had scars all over their bodies. The wounds on their bodies had not received effective treatment and had begun to rot, emitting an unpleasant rancid smell.

Others didn't know whether they were dead or alive, so they just lay motionless on the cold ground.

Some of them were probably half dead, curled up, rolling and wailing, or letting out slight moans.

Those people did not know how long they had been imprisoned. The ground and their bodies emitted a very unpleasant rancid smell that made them want to vomit.

Qiao Ran held her breath and followed Mo Beihan inside.

She has no mercy for those who stretch out their hands and cry out for injustice.

What scenes have you not seen before when you were on a mission in your previous life?

She has experienced scenes where hands and feet were cut off, ears were cut off, eyes were gouged out, or even heads were shot directly. She has also seen methods of punishing people with snakes, leeches, scorpions, etc. She has also picked up broken corpses and dug up carrion. Sleeping with corpses…

Compared to these small scenes of being imprisoned and receiving some punishment, she felt no fluctuation in her heart at all.

Regarding her calmness and calmness, Mo Beihan, who was walking in front and paying attention to the movements behind her, couldn't help but secretly nod in praise.

This girl really doesn't look as timid and soft-hearted as ordinary farm girls. Most men can't stand this scene, and if it were a woman, she would probably cry out of fear.

But the little girl never stopped, and just followed her behind her without any hesitation, without even taking a second look at the pitiful or terrifying prisoners.

Such a mind is really not something ordinary people can possess.

I really don’t know how this girl developed such courage and character.

After walking through the long passage and seeing all kinds of prisoners, the three of them finally arrived at several cells inside.
