Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 397

However, Yun Shang didn't come back. Prince Jing asked the butler to look around the mansion for her, but he couldn't find her. He guessed that Yun Shang must have gone out. After thinking for a while, Prince Jing told the Butler about Yun Shang's whereabouts, and left a letter to her. Then he rushed to the small forest in the south of the city, waiting for his people to meet him.

At this time, Yun Shang was in the Yuman tower. In the wing room, there were all kinds of people, including beggars, prostitutes and peddlers.

"I asked you to pay attention to the movements in the imperial city a few days ago, but I am afraid that my guards didn't get my intention loud and clear. That is why I came here myself today to ask you something, something small but important." Yun Shang took the only seat in the wing room, and scanned the people in the room with a casual glance.

Yun Shang meditated for a moment and nodded her head, "there is a soldier of the prison living in the Shui Jing Alley of the west of the city. Does anyone know his name?"

"I remember him. His name is Liu Sanjin." A bearded man with a cloth which was broken from the iron mouth said to her in a hurry.

Yun Shang chuckled, "what about his character?"

The middle-aged man with long beard meditated for a moment before he said, "he has a straight temper and is always jealous of evil. He often bragged that he was a inferior in the court of justice. But he fell ill not long ago all of a sudden and was in a coma all day. One day, I saw he go to work
