Situ Yan said through Adrian's biggest secret, and Adrian looked frightened at this time, even forgetting his broken Chinese, and yelled directly in French, "You, who are you?" ”

and put his right hand on the pistol on his waist, and took two steps back. Mo Feng and Mo Yu's reaction was not slow, and they both shot out and directly blocked Situ Yan and Duanmu Xuan behind them, pressing Adrian to the ground.

"Mr. Adrian, you need not be nervous, who you sell opium has nothing to do with me. However, if you still want to come to Wu to do business, you should consider my proposal! Situ Yan was not surprised by Adrian's overreaction. But she had to get what she wanted, and if she had to use threats, she didn't need it.

"You, who the hell are you?" Adrian was subdued, but calmed down.

"Buyer and seller!" Situ Yan only gave a faint sentence, and did not tell Adrian who she was.

"You were sent from the palace of the Wu Kingdom?" Adrian felt that if he was just a businessman, he would never have such courage.

"Ordinary people only!" Situ Yan felt that businessmen were reluctant to deal with the government.

"You, you!" Adrian's eyes when he looked at Situ Yan had completely lost his previous admiration, in addition to being frightened, he was more afraid. Because he couldn't see through this little girl from the East.

"Mr. Adrian, I said, I don't ask or care who your goods sell to, I just want my things. But the ugly thing is ahead, if you can get what I want, you can still come to Wu next year to do business. If you can't, I can guarantee that you will never come to Wu again to do business. Although Situ Yan's words were soft, they sounded like a spell to Adrian's ears. It's impossible for him to believe it or not.

"Alright, let him go!" Situ Yan waved his hand at Mo Feng.

Mo Feng glanced at the young master who was blocking in front of Situ Yan, and saw that the young master nodded, so he let go of the person, but he was still standing by Adrian's side, as long as he made a rash move, he would kill the person under the sword.

"I'll give you a day to think about it. Hope Mr. Adrian doesn't let me down! Situ Yan left a word, that is, he pulled Duanmu Xuan and turned away.

When the talent stepped off the boat, he turned back to explain to Mo Feng. "Ink guard, I have something to ask for, I hope you can do me a favor?"

"Miss Situ just orders, and the iron-blooded guards will not give up!"

"It's not that serious!" Mo Feng has such an attitude. Situ Yan couldn't laugh or cry. She is not from the Guogong Mansion, she is not their master, how dare she accept the word "ten thousand deaths".

"You help me find out who this Adrian sold to, and don't leave anything behind, especially the things that are traded at night, or the things that the government wants!" Situ Yan suddenly thought that she had never seen opium in the capital before. Even the entire Wu Kingdom has never seen anyone use it, if there is such a strong smell in the cabin. It's not as simple as one or two boxes. Those who can buy on such a large scale are either rich or expensive.

And this is Adrian's dead end, only by inquiring carefully, can we negotiate a deal with him. She's got guns for her.

Duanmu Xuan nodded at Mo Feng, and Mo Feng turned around and left first. Mo Yu escorted Duanmu Xuan and Situ Yan back to the inn.

"Yan'er, what are you talking about opium? Why was the yellow hair afraid of being like this when he heard this word? Along the way, Duanmu Xuan endured no questions, and at this time the two sat in the guest room drinking tea and chatting.

"It is a kind of 'drug', although it is not as toxic as 'Hedinghong', but if it is taken in large quantities, it can also cause death. Even if you inhale a small amount every day like a cigarette, in the long run, it will make people drowsy, irritable, and even hallucinate, and the most terrible thing about this thing is that it will be addictive. And once addicted, you will smoke more and more, and finally die. In short, it's like a chronic poison. ”

"It sounds like it's 'Fushou Ointment', something in the green building of the tobacco house, I have seen this thing in the prince's mansion, and it is said that it is very expensive to buy foreign products! But if it's really as Yan'er said, then this thing is not only not a good thing, but even harmful to the body? ”

"Exactly, this thing must not be touched!" Situ Yan was also surprised, she had lived in the capital for so long, but she had never seen this thing, but she didn't want this thing Duanmu Xuan to be completely unfamiliar, and looked at him with some concern, afraid that he would not know the harm of this thing and eat it by mistake.

"Don't worry, Yan'er, I don't like the smell of smoke, I've never used this thing, and there is no such thing in the Guogong Mansion at all. It's just that the prince dedicated this thing to the emperor a few days ago, and the emperor praised it again and again after using it, if it is really poisonous, it is impossible for the imperial doctor to let the emperor smoke it? Duanmu Xuan still couldn't believe it, after all, as far as he knew, many ministers in the court and the central government were using this thing in their homes. But he was also very happy, after all, Situ Yan would be worried about it.

This time, even Situ Yan is not calm, if it is really as Duanmu Xuan said, then this drug has been circulated in the city, and it has even corroded the country, this is not a trivial matter.

"Yan'er, you tell me all about the harm of this thing, I'm afraid this matter is not a trivial matter?" Duanmu Xuan faintly felt that maybe he could overthrow the crown prince through this incident and help the seventh prince Mu Yi to ascend to the throne. He can even eradicate dissidents in the court one by one, but these are all matters in the court, and he doesn't want to worry about listening to Situ Yan.

Situ Yan can be said to hate the harm of drugs. But in order to get Adrian's firearms, she would say that she would not investigate where his goods were sold, but she did not say that Adrian was allowed to sell opium again, of course, these were all conversation skills, and they were just word games.

Although this ancient opium is not comparable to modern methamphetamine, the harm is the same, otherwise Lin Zexu would not have used Humen to extinguish the smoke in the Qing Dynasty.

Duanmu Xuan listened to Situ Yan's explanation, and the more he listened, the heavier his mood became, and he also had doubts in his heart, "Yan'er, why do you know so much about this thing?" ”

"Taught by the teacher!" Situ Yan had already thought of how to explain when she told Duanmu Xuan this.

Such an explanation is reasonable, and naturally it will not arouse Duanmu Xuan's suspicions," as Yan'er said. This thing is untouchable! But why did the Imperial Doctor keep silent? ”

"This~? After all, this thing is a foreign product, and it is understandable that the imperial doctor does not know it! But if you know that you still let the emperor smoke it, I don't need to say much about this purpose. Brother Xuan should also know in his heart! "Although Situ Yan is not interested in the court's deception and competition for the throne, after all, under the control of the Ming Monarch and the Holy Lord, the people's lives can be better. This gave Duanmu Xuan a wake-up call.

"The Tai Hospital is the queen's person, and it is a princeling, and it seems that this matter needs to be investigated carefully!" Duanmu Xuan frowned tightly and took a sip of tea. Only then did he look up at Mo Yu.

"Someone brought a message to Mo Feng, this matter will be investigated quickly, and I will report it immediately before nightfall today!"

"Yes!" Mo Yu also heard the seriousness of the matter. Commanded to retreat.

"Yan'er, that yellow-haired man wanted to be rude to you just now, why did you say that it was etiquette?" For this matter, Duanmu Xuan has always been obsessed.

"Adrian is from France. Their country has such etiquette. I also saw it in an essay! It's really hard to explain these Situ Yan, she doesn't dare to tell Duanmu Xuan that there are basic etiquette such as hugging and kissing in foreign countries, otherwise she will have to go to collect Adrian's body in the next moment.

"The yellow-haired people are really barbaric, so bad and vulgar, they are so embarrassed to do it!" Looking at Duanmu Xuan's disgust, Situ Yan smiled bitterly.

"Brother Xuan, there is not only one country in this world. The world is full of living beings. All kinds of people have it. That's their custom, and if one day you can regain your freedom, you will see a completely different world when you travel around the world. This is also what Situ Yan thinks in her heart.

"Would you like to go with me?" Duanmu Xuan also likes to fight with swords, but if he can travel with the United States, it will be the icing on the cake.

"It's hard to do mundane things, it's hard to break mundane fate, if there really is such a day, Yan'er should accompany her!" This is also the first time that Situ Yan has given Duanmu Xuan a positive answer. Although this answer still had the prerequisites, Duanmu Xuan still happily stood up from the chair, walked to Situ Yan's side, and gently took her hand.

"Yan'er can be serious!"

"Hmm!" Situ Yan shyly withdrew her hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, which was considered to answer Duanmu Xuan's question.

"Okay, one day, I, Duanmu Xuan, will take Situ Yan to travel all over the country, all over the world!" This is Duanmu Xuan's promise, and it is also showing his heart to Situ Yan.

The two of them were thick and I was thick, when they heard Mo Yu talking back outside the door, "Lunch is ready!" ”

The two of them had their own things on their minds, so they only took a sip, and waited until nightfall before Mo Feng rushed back from outside.

"Young Master Hui, Miss Situ, subordinates have found out. The yellow-haired merchant didn't sell much, but ten boxes of tea bricks were sold to the prefect of Yangzhou, and they were directly moved into the treasury of the government after night. ”

"Tea bricks, what tea bricks in the West are better than those in our Central Plains. It's a shame that the prefect came up with it! Situ Yan sneered, and then looked at Mo Feng.

"Ink guard, can you enter the treasury of this mansion?"

"It's not okay to be afraid openly, but it's okay to be secret!" Mo Feng replied to Miss Situ's words while looking at the young master, and he didn't know whether he should say this or not.

"Well, after midnight tonight, you can follow me into the mansion!"

"Yan'er! The government has its own soldiers and guards, so why don't I go? Duanmu Xuan knew that Situ Yan wanted to further confirm that such a trivial matter, he thought it would be more appropriate to do it himself, and he didn't want Situ Yan to take risks.

"I still have something to investigate, so it's safer to go by myself!" Situ Yan didn't just check opium, she also wanted something else.

Duanmu Xuan knew that it was not easy to persuade him, so he had to nod and agree, but he also hinted at Mo Feng with his eyes and asked him to arrange, even if he slaughtered the prefect's yamen, he would not let people hurt Situ Yan a point.

After midnight, the four of them changed their night clothes and went straight to the prefect's yamen. Situ Yan could faintly feel that someone was following in secret, and when she saw Duanmu Xuan's calm face, she knew that she was the secret guard of the Iron Guard, and she was very grateful in her heart, after all, there are many people who are easy to do.

The four of them climbed over the wall and entered the mansion, Mo Feng and Mo Yu went straight to the treasury of the mansion, while Situ Yan and Duanmu Xuan touched the study in the inner courtyard, Duanmu Xuan wanted to find the letters and circulars exchanged between the prefect and the prince. And what Situ Yan is looking for is the prefect's private treasury, she has almost spent all her savings in building Zhuangzi recently, and she has to do business with Adrian, and she is in urgent need of money at the moment, which is the purpose of her coming today.

first accompanied Duanmu Xuan to find what he was looking for, but he did not take the things away, but only confirmed that the matter was indeed related to the prince. I also don't want to arouse the vigilance of the prince's party, for fear of startling the snake.

Out of the study, the two went straight to the prefect's private warehouse, Duanmu Xuan took care of the soldiers guarding the warehouse, and guarded outside the library door to let off steam. Situ Yan touched it alone. The prefect of Yangzhou will pay tribute to the prince once every six months, and the private treasury happens to have the people's fat and people's ointment collected in the past six months. And, of course, the black silver from the sale of opium. Coupled with his own private silver, it can be described as ten thousand taels of gold and countless silver.

"Thank you!" Situ Yan only gave two words, and put all the things in this library into the ring. As for how to explain to Duanmu Xuan afterwards, it depends on whether the Yangzhou prefect dares to publicize this matter.

After leaving the mansion, the four of them returned to the inn, and before they could sit down, they heard a movement on the street, and the officers and soldiers of the government were arresting people all over the street. even made the chickens and dogs bark and complained.

The prefect of Yangzhou was sitting on top of the yatang at this time, his eyes were bloody, and his private wealth disappeared overnight, and even so many belongings were stolen, and no one in the mansion knew about it. The most important thing is that it is not easy to fly away from the half-year tribute given to the prince, which makes him still calm. But these things can't be told to outsiders, so they found an excuse to search for fugitives in the city.

In Duanmu Xuan's view, the Yangzhou prefect made a bit of a fuss. He thought that Situ Yan had just stolen some easy-to-store silver tickets, but he never thought that she had looted the prefect's private treasury. It was also thanks to the Yangzhou prefect that he gave a gag order, and Duanmu Xuan didn't care too much, which didn't arouse his suspicions.

Situ Yan saw that the secret of her ring had not been revealed, and she was happy not to explain much. The four old gods were sitting in the inn, looking at the "tea bricks" found by Mo Feng.

"Brother Xuan, is this what you call 'Fushou Cream'?" Situ Yan could already conclude that this was opium.

"Yes, that's it! I saw it in the Prince's Mansion, and at that time, the Prince took it out as a good thing to show off, and even many children of the family smoked this thing! I've heard my mother mention that even the crown princess is using it! ”

"I remember that before leaving Beijing, there was news from the palace that the crown princess was three months pregnant, can this matter be taken seriously?"

"This matter is serious, the hospital has confirmed!"

"Brother Xuan, if this thing is sucked by a pregnant woman, it will most likely give birth to a deformed fetus. can give the emperor a reminder of this matter, and it can also bring down the prince's party by the way. "If Situ Yan is really a man, I'm afraid it will be easy to win this world.

But she has experienced too much in her previous life, and she just wants to live in peace in this life, otherwise even Duanmu Xuan may not be able to fight her. (To be continued......)
