Chapter 39: The National Teacher Visits
Although the matter of Fengxianglou has been settled, after a long time, it is no longer a topic that people talk about before and after dinner.
But the black market is very noisy.
It is said that the poppy powder has the effect of making people become immortals, and they can forget their pain and troubles and go to Elysium.
Therefore, many people came to visit after hearing about it.
Jiang Yuning saw that the market had opened, so he asked Cang to raise the price to sell.
Many poor people have lost their fortunes just to sell a little poppy powder.
The rich do not hesitate to spend a fortune to buy it.
Because poppy powder spread so much for a while, some people began to investigate where its main manufacturers were.
But no one got anything.
Because the person who delivers the goods does not have a set time and does not have a clear receipt.
Because it is only sold on the black market.
But after a long time, some people who smoked poppy powder began to have madness, convulsions, etc., just like the matter of Fengxianglou.
So the government began to intervene in the investigation again, but the manufacturer could not be found, and they could not control the black market.
The location of the black market is always moving, and the people inside are not something that ordinary people can afford to mess with.
For a while, the government had no idea where to start.
Not only was the government busy, but Jiang Guosheng was also very busy.
Because there are more than one or two people who want the land of Fengxianglou, although Jiang Guosheng and Lord He have some friendship, the main decision is still in the hands of the emperor.
So he had to raise the purchase price and enter the palace to meet the emperor.
And Jiang Yuning is idle at home all day long, reading books and listening to music when she has nothing to do.
Although she has made a lot of money in recent days, in order to prevent her whereabouts from being exposed, she can be regarded as heartbroken.
Cang didn't see anyone all day, and he had less and less time to meet Jiang Yuning, and he didn't often go back to the general's mansion, for fear that his whereabouts would be exposed.
And in recent days, I have become more and more aware that someone is following him, and it should be a person from the poison cult.
Originally, life was leisurely, and everything was planned, but one day the national teacher suddenly visited.
"What's the important matter for the national teacher to come to the mansion?"
Jiang Yuning stood at the gate of the General's Mansion and looked coldly at Xiang Yi, who was dressed in a snow-white straight robe.
He didn't seem to want to invite him in.
"I just came to visit General Jiang, I haven't seen him for many days, and I miss it very much."
Xiang Yi raised his eyebrows lightly, with a tepid smile on the corner of his mouth.
I'm afraid that this face will turn back again and again when the man sees it.
"Oh?"
Jiang Yuning didn't look at him, and said with a smile without any emotion: "I'm afraid that if I let the national teacher come for nothing, my father is not at home." ”
Although Xiang Yi's face did not change, he was very embarrassed in his heart.
I also know that Jiang Guosheng didn't come out to pick up customers, so naturally he wasn't there, he just wanted to find an excuse to go in.
Why is this woman so faceless.
"The goddess won't invite me to come in and sit down?"
Well, just leave it behind and ask for it.
"Not please."
Jiang Yuning refused for a second, turned around and said coldly, "Don't send it." ”
The expression on Xiao Si's face carrying the sedan chair became strange, when did the national teacher suffer such humiliation.
Xiang Yi didn't react for a while, and saw Jiang Yuning turn around and leave.
The smile on his face really couldn't be hung up.
Hurriedly said: "The poppy thing..."
Before Xiang Yi's words were finished, Jiang Yuning turned his head, looked at him with a cold face, half-squinted eyes, and his blood-red left eye was deep and terrifying, and there was a bottomless coldness.
Xiang Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Yuning's reaction to be so big, and he confirmed his guess even more.
"The goddess naturally wants to keep the world peaceful, I'm afraid that the poppy matter should bother you again."
Xiang Yihui looked serious and said indifferently.
The coldness on Jiang Yuning's face obviously did not ease, and he said in a cold voice: "National teacher, please come in!" ”
Xiang Yi followed Jiang Yu all the way to the main hall.
As soon as he sat down, before Xiang Yi could speak, Jiang Yuning sent everyone away.
Even the tea delivery is free.
"For a rare guest like the national teacher, I'm afraid you can't get used to drinking the tea in the General's Mansion."
Jiang Yuning looked at Xiang Yi's ugly face, talking serious nonsense.
Xiang Yi's face twitched obviously, how unwelcoming he was that he didn't even bother to deliver tea.
"Ahem, it's okay."
Xiang Yi continued with an iceberg face, and went directly to the topic, "I think the goddess has heard about this poppy thing somewhat. ”
"I haven't heard of it."
Jiang Yuning's face was indifferent, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating when he lied, "I would like to hear it in detail." ”
Xiang Yi will come to the door, I'm afraid that he already doubts himself.
When Jiang Yuning said this, it was obvious that Xiang Yi had a look of "disbelieving"
。
Now it's up to him to see if he will directly pick it up, or explain the "poppy thing" well
。
"The goddess doesn't have to be sloppy with me."
Xiang Yi's dark eyes stared at Jiang Yuning for a while.
seemed to be waiting for Jiang Yuning to speak, but Jiang Yuning didn't mean to speak at all.
For a moment, the hall was eerily quiet.
"What do you want?"
Jiang Yuning looked away at Xiang Yi and pulled out a chuckle.
A calm look.
"I just hope you don't continue, although the prince ordered me to protect you, he didn't let me indulge you to do whatever you wanted."
Xiang Yi sighed lightly, he was entrusted by the crown prince to protect Jiang Yuning, so he would not expose her, let alone hurt her.
Xiang Yi understands her position in the prince's heart better than anyone else.
Jiang Yuning frowned slightly, where is the crown prince sacred, why do you want to protect her everywhere, this national teacher will be loyal to him.
Suddenly, I don't know why the face of the cloud dust flashed in my mind.
Jiang Yuning laughed at herself, how could it be Yunchen.
If Yunchen was here, he would definitely object to what he was doing now.
It's a pity that Yunchen is not there.
"What if I say no?"
Jiang Yuning swept away all the thoughts of high school, and said positively.
Xiang Yi didn't speak for a while, just stared at Jiang Yu's blood-red left eye for a long time before saying, "Why are you doing this?" Those people are innocent. ”
"Innocent?"
Jiang Yuning chuckled, there was no trace of sadness in her smile, like a rose blooming in the cold rain, lonely, lonely, beautiful, and full of vigilance.
"You don't have to look at it, it's in my nature, it has nothing to do with my left eye."
Jiang Yuning saw that Xiang Yi had been looking at his left eye with deep eyes, so he naturally knew what he was thinking.
Xiang Yi was stunned for a moment, looked away, and stopped talking.
"No."
Jiang Yuning stood up and made a gesture to Xiang Yi to please, regardless of whether Xiang Yi wanted to leave or not, he left first.
"However, what can you do to me, national teacher, do you have evidence?"
Jiang Yuning didn't look back at him, and said as she walked.
When Jiang Yuning walked away, Xiang Yi was still sitting there, expressionless and silent, pondering for a long time before getting up to leave.
