After recalling for a moment, Xie Lingxi said helplessly.

"As for the rest, at most it's about other people in the court, but I really don't know about the things in the martial arts world. Only the part I overheard is related to the martial arts world. I really don't know anything else."

Lord Xie said, "That's enough. The Jianghu forces have long been in decline. The previous emperor worked hard to govern the country. He not only won the hearts of the people and severely punished corrupt officials, but also attacked enemy countries. The army was strong and the people supported him."

"These underworld forces may sound like big sects, but compared to the imperial court, they are just some insignificant local forces. As long as the imperial court is stable and the people are safe, who would care about these underworld forces?"

"They are just a bunch of vagrants, not to be feared. If they dare to commit a crime, the imperial army will attack them and they will immediately behave themselves. As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times. Now that the Great Chu is still thriving, there is no room for them to jump around. We are not afraid of any conspiracy!"

Lord Xie thought about it and started to guess again.

"I guess they just make a living by selling pills. After all, after so many years, these martial arts sects have almost lived off their old capital, so they have to find some way to make money."

"The name Yunji Pharmacy doesn't sound very impressive, and it's deliberately located in a remote place. It's obvious that they don't want to be noticed. They should just be trying to make a living. If you're really worried, find some time to go take a look and see what's going on."

"You said you were still selling information, so pretend to be a customer and ask a few questions. If it's just some trivial matters, it's not a big deal. However, there are still some tricks in the underworld, and it's hard to predict their comings and goings. Before you know their details, don't act rashly, lest you fall into their trap."

After pondering for a moment, Xie Zhibai nodded.

"Dad is right. I am just a little interested. After all, I have only heard about these underworld forces and have never understood them. If it is really as Dad said, the situation is over and there is really no need to worry about it."

"But the presence of these two drugs, Baixiaodan and Baidudan, in the capital still makes me worried. Baixiaodan is fine, but Baidudan is used to harm people. Who knows, there may be other things in Yunji Pharmacy that shouldn't be there. I have to go check it out."

Xie Lingxi felt a little guilty listening to what her father and elder brother said. She didn't have many memories of the martial arts world, and if she had, she should have remembered them by now.

If you can’t think of it now, then it really doesn’t exist.

In this way, at least in his previous life and in his memory after death, the so-called underworld forces did not cause any trouble.

If that's the case, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Come to think of it, although the national strength of the Chu Dynasty is not as strong as that of the previous dynasty, the capital city is firmly controlled by the court.

Even if the subordinates fight with each other, if they really encounter some underworld forces, they will definitely unite to face the outside world.

Not to mention that these underworld forces are already a loose group, all of them put their own interests first and fight on their own. They pose no threat to the court or the Great Chu.

Otherwise, there would be at least a few records left in my memory of my previous life. Since there is nothing left, there should be no affairs of the underworld.

However, buying these Hundred Elimination Pills and Hundred Poison Pills was too easy. Although I had taken advantage of my memories from my previous life and bought them first, the buying process was too smooth and simple, without any threshold at all.

If I can buy it, can others buy it too?

Not to mention whether the Yunji Pharmacy sells other harmful things, just take the Baixiaodan and Baidudan as an example. If they were circulated among the powerful and wealthy classes in the entire capital... Xie Lingxi couldn't help shivering just thinking about it.

Killing without being seen!

Let’s not talk about the Baixiaodan, let’s just say it’s the Baidudan. I can buy it for my brother to protect himself, but can others also use it to harm others?

If my brother or my parents accidentally fall into the trap, there would be nothing that could be done to save them.

The more Xie Lingxi thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was not trivial and was very serious, so she immediately told her eldest brother.

"Brother, I was indeed not careful enough this time. Too much poison is not a good thing. You have to check it out. It's best to collect all their Hundred Poison Pills!"

Xie Zhibai nodded: "Don't worry, if something like this happened, it would be fine if I didn't know about it. Now that I know about it, I am the Minister of Justice after all, so I must nip the danger in the bud. I will investigate."

Xie Lingxi nodded and smiled.

Mrs. Xie felt the atmosphere was heavy and quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, forget about these two pills. It's really scary. Let's eat first."

Everyone calmed down and started eating.

Xie Zhibai put the pills away, looked at his sister and asked.

"By the way, what else did you do besides buying these things? Where did you go? I'm not worried that you'd do anything bad after suddenly spending so much money."

"But you also said that the Xie family is in a bad situation now. So much money must go somewhere, so we can be prepared."

Lord Xie and Madam Xie also looked over. Xie Lingxi put down her chopsticks, swallowed the food in her mouth, and smiled.

"I didn't mean to hide it, but it was an urgent matter, so I did it first. This is it..."

Xie Lingxi told the truth and told him about how she had collected money for Prince Chen, but she concealed the matter of the sheep plague.

They only said that it was to thank Prince Chen for rushing back from the border. They heard that the border was cold and bitter, and the emperor didn't like Prince Chen. If the military funds were not enough, the soldiers on the border would have a hard time, so this silver would be regarded as a donation to the border army.

The Prince of Chen did not refuse, and both sides were happy.

When they heard that it was for Prince Chen, Lord Xie and Madam Xie had no objection and even breathed a sigh of relief.

Lord Xie praised: "As expected of my daughter, you are so generous! To be honest, our family has indeed received a favor from Prince Chen this time. We should have expressed our gratitude more sincerely, but we don't know how many people are watching our family, and His Royal Highness Prince Chen is not convenient to show up now. I didn't catch up to see His Royal Highness off, which is a pity."

Having said that, Lord Xie changed the subject.

"But you did a good job, kid. You finally conveyed our family's attitude. However, how can this little money be enough?"

"There are many soldiers on the frontier. Since Your Highness did not refuse, it means that money is indeed tight. We can collect some in a few days and send them to Your Highness as a token of our gratitude!"

Madam Xie also nodded and said, "That's right, His Royal Highness Prince Chen has helped a lot this time, we must remember it."

Lord Xie and Madam Xie both believed what Xie Lingxi said, and expressed their willingness to collect more silver to send to the border.

Xie Zhibai looked at Xie Lingxi thoughtfully and suddenly asked.

"Did His Royal Highness Prince Chen leave you any message? Or give you anything?"

I have to say that Xie Zhibai really understands Prince Chen and hits the key point right away.

Lord Xie and Madam Xie both looked towards Xie Lingxi with curious eyes.

Xie Lingxi subconsciously wanted to blurt out that he had left a letter for herself, but she immediately remembered that Si Ling reminded her before leaving that she should read the letter alone.
