Meng Nan stepped forward to take the letter, took out the paper inside, glanced at it briefly, and then asked Master Meng: “Is this purple blood vine such a rare thing?”
Master Meng said: “No, soon there will be only one person in the whole capital who has this thing.”
Meng Nan was puzzled: “Who?”
Master Meng got up from behind the desk, walked up to Meng Nan, took out the letter paper he was holding between his fingers, lit the envelope together with the lamp, and threw them into the small copper stove.
“Of course it’s me. It’s been a few years since the purple blood vine disappeared in the capital, but a while ago, someone got it. Not many people know about it. It just so happens that I am one of them. I have already sent someone to solve him.”
Meng Nan asked: “What are you going to do?”
“Of course, I will bring it over here to keep it. Otherwise, do you want me to send it to the emperor to receive the reward?” People in the palace were now searching for medicine shops and medical clinics in the capital.
Naturally, this purple blood vine must be obtained now.
Meng Nan said: “Father, don’t take people’s lives, just treat it as accumulating virtue for your grandson.”
Master Meng’s face turned cold, and he snorted: “The benevolence of a woman. If you want me to accumulate virtue for my grandson, then give me a grandson! Now you are alone, you don’t even have a concubine, you still have the nerve to mention my grandson?”
Meng Nan frowned, with a worried look on his face: “Father, you can just give more money, why hurt people’s lives?”
Master Meng shook his head, with a look of resentment: “You, you are in your twenties, and you are so naive. Do you think that everything in this world can be solved with money? This matter involves the Imperial Family. If such an important matter cannot be done seamlessly, what will happen if it is found out about us in the future?”
Meng Nan remained silent, and Master Meng said again: “In this world, only the dead have the tightest mouth. Only when he is dead, no one will know the whereabouts of this purple blood vine. Then, the Supreme Emperor will—”
He didn’t say the following words, but the fierce look flashed in his eyes, but it was clear at a glance.
Without the purple blood vine, the Supreme Emperor would surely die.
Meng Nan wanted to persuade more, but Master Meng didn’t want to listen anymore. He walked away, leaving Meng Nan standing in the study, unable to calm down for a long time.
He looked at his hands, which were going to be dyed red from some time ago.
When the day he gets his wish, and Bai Zhi knows this, can she accept him?
But the arrow was on the string and the bowstring was fully drawn, he can’t stop it any longer.

As Master Meng expected, it didn’t take long for the news that the imperial list was posted everywhere in the capital, rewarding a lot of money to buy purple blood vine.
Master Meng can know the news about the purple blood vine. , so naturally others also know about it.
Someone brought the news, so Eunuch Fu led the Imperial Guards to the households in the east of the city with the person who brought the imperial list.
The three-entry house was decorated with style. In a place like the capital where every inch of land was expensive, there was such a house. It was obvious that the owner was not an ordinary person.
When Eunuch Fu arrived, the family was hanging white cloth, and the whole house was lifeless. After inquiring, he found out that just three hours ago, the house was attacked by robbers, the warehouse was swept away, and more than a dozen people died. Even the master of the household was not spared.
When Eunuch Fu arrived, the people from the Yamen hadn’t left yet and were asking questions.
“What’s going on? What’s missing?” Eunuch Fu secretly felt that something was wrong, and asked the leading official quickly.
