272 feigning illness
An Donghua looked at the 'Xiaoyaosan' in his hand, because he held it too tightly before, the 'Xiaoyaosan' had already been deformed, and the black-lacquered and distorted appearance looked extremely hideous. He thought of the harm of this 'loose distraction', and quickly took out a small box from the carriage, put it in, covered the lid and threw it away, and then hurriedly wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief.
It happened that there was a pot of liquor in the carriage, so he poured it directly into his hand and scrubbed it over and over again with a silk handkerchief. He rubbed hard, and soon his skin was red, and it hurt hotly under the influence of alcohol.
It was only then that he had the heart to lift the curtain and look in the direction of the house, and in the distance he saw only a thick cloud of smoke billowing out, and the fire seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, this is a suburb, and there are no other people near the house, so you don't have to worry about causing others to be affected.
Although it was far away, the cacophony of cries for help and frantic screams could still be faintly heard. Almost all of the people who had eaten the 'loose smoking' were crazy, their faces were pale and their eyes were red, especially the expressions were too hideous, not like people, but like beasts that had completely lost their minds.
An Donghua was afraid for a while, but fortunately, Shang Jinxiu reminded him, he had been deliberately delaying time when he was in the house, and even if Li Qian said that he had no intention of trying it himself, coupled with the earth-shattering thunder, wouldn't he have to become like that and completely lose his humanity?
Thinking about the earth-shattering thunder again, Anton Hua couldn't help but feel that it was really retribution, and he also knew the origin of the house, which was originally a wealthy merchant from an outdoor land who came to settle here and spent a huge amount of money to build such a beautiful garden. As a result, he didn't stay for a few days, but he was taken by Li Qian.
Li Qian relied on the power in his family, which was quite arrogant. not only used means to occupy the family business of rich merchants, but even the wives and concubines of rich merchants were ruined to death. Li Qian has done a lot of this kind of thing. But he is also smart, and he bullies all those who have no background, even if they toss people to death, those bitter masters have no place to redress their grievances.
Secretly, I don't know how many people are cursing Li Qian. Now, these curses have finally been fulfilled.
Anton Hua is not ignorant and superstitious, but the thunderstorm is too weird, no matter how knowledgeable he is, he can't imagine that it is a means that mortals can have. That's right. What is not retribution?
Not only did Anton Hua think so, but after this matter spread, everyone who knew thought so. In particular, the earth-shattering thunderstorm was spread vividly, and under various additions, even many different versions were transmitted. Some say that the heavens can't see it, and deliberately send thunder to warn the world, some say that it is a fairy method, and some say that it is a haunting ghost, and there are all kinds of rumors.
After Antonhua returned to the palace. In order to get rid of suspicion, and also to let the Zheng family and the Zhao family relax their vigilance, he directly pretended to be sick, looking like he was so frightened that he lost his soul. The doctor invited one after another. The medicinal soup boiled pot after pot, and a huge palace was filled with a bitter smell of medicine all day long, which was really ominous.
Anton Hua is happy to act. pretended to be 'terminally ill' all day long, and refused to let go when he pulled Shang Jinxiu. The Zheng family and the Zhao family didn't want to let him go so easily. I just sent someone to test it a few times, and even asked the doctor. It was said that Anton Hua was frightened, and they gradually dispelled their suspicions.
It's just that the crazy appearance of the gentlemen that day was spread by people, all saying that they were crazy, and some said that they were wronged, and that they were troubled by unclean things, which made people panic for a while.
It's not a pity that these gentlemen died, but they all have some power in their families, and it's really not easy to end up making trouble. What made the Zheng family and the Zhao family even more frightened was the 'loose away' thing. As the rumors spread, the word of 'loose scattering' also spread.
This is naturally An Donghua's handiwork, but unfortunately An Donghua has recently pretended to be sick and pretended to be quite similar, hiding the Zheng family and the Zhao family, plus many people were running around that day, screaming and not knowing how much news was exposed, the Zheng family and the Zhao family didn't think much about it, they just thought it was accidentally leaked out.
After the news of the 'loose dispersion' spread, Anton Hua then 'got sick' and called Zheng Zhifu and others to have a severe seizure, shouting for them to find out about this matter, and it must not be tolerated.
He threatened that Li Qian and others had ill intentions to harm his life, and as soon as such a big hat was buttoned down, Rao is Zheng Zhifu and others did not take An Donghua in their eyes at all, and they were also frightened for a while.
You must know that even if An Donghua is disgusted by the emperor, he is the prince after all, once this matter reaches the emperor's ears, how can the emperor not be angry? If the emperor makes up for it and thinks that they don't take the royal family in their eyes, they dare to murder the prince now, and they can rebel in the future, where will they have a good life?
In order to appease Anton Hua's anger, the Zheng family had to use some excuses to attack some people, execute many scapegoats, and give Anton Hua some benefits, and finally appeased Anton Hua.
As soon as Anton Hua stopped, many powerful families in Jiaozhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as this breath was relieved, these people disdained An Donghua again, thinking that he was just a yellow-mouthed kid who could easily be handled.
Soon, under the control of those who have a heart, the thunderstorm of the day is gradually forgotten. And just when some people were secretly complacent, Anton Hua, who was 'sick', quietly wrote a secret letter to the emperor. He didn't mention much about his own situation, only wrote that Li Qian wanted to induce him to smoke 'Xiaoyaosan', and carefully listed the harms of 'Xiaoyaosan', and enclosed a sample with the letter.
At this time, the emperor was secretly vigilant because of Shang Jinxiu's business in Jiaozhou. At the same time, he also learned about the 'loose away'. He has been arranging eyeliner in Jiaozhou, and after Anton Hua arrived in Jiaozhou, he sent some people over, not only to monitor, but also to protect Anton Hua's safety.
No matter how rumors are rumored outside, he is completely disgusted with Antonhua, for this son, he is guilty, loving, and guarded. He knew that Anton Hua had no military power in his hands, and he was just an ornament in Jiaozhou, but at the same time he was angry, he had expectations and vigilance in his heart.
As a father, he expects his son to be able to make a difference, as an emperor, he also hopes to have a qualified heir, and at the same time, he is worried that Anton Hua is really good, which will threaten his imperial power.
In short, quite complicated.
Therefore, as soon as he knew that Shang Jinxiu had started trading in Jiaozhou and had done a good job, he was on guard in his heart. He naturally didn't look at that idea of a small business, but he knew that there was a mysterious master behind Shang Jinxiu!
This master has always been the object of his jealousy. It was also because of the existence of this person that he couldn't help but be a little wary of Shang Jinxiu, and didn't regard her as an ordinary boudoir woman.
Seeing that Shang Jinxiu had started such a big deal in just a few months after arriving in Jiaozhou, the emperor felt a little uneasy, and always felt that this was just the beginning, and it would be even more out of control in the future. But as the emperor, even if he is uneasy in his heart, can he still not allow his daughter-in-law to do some small business?
Later, when he learned about the 'Xiaoyaosan', although he was angry that the Zheng family deliberately wanted to bring Andonghua to ruin, he didn't care too much about the so-called 'Xiaoyaosan'. Now that 'Xiaoyaosan' has just shown a few signs, no matter how powerful his spies are, how can he know the real harm of 'Xiaoyaosan'?
However, at this time, Antonhua's secret letter arrived. After reading the contents of the secret letter, the emperor was almost so angry that he vomited blood. After regaining his senses, he immediately approached his henchmen to verify the dangers of 'loose dispersion'.
The sample sent by Anton Hua was strictly said to be provided by Shang Jinxiu. He hurriedly ran out of the house that day, and he only had time to hide a small piece in the palm of his hand, and it was not enough to use it for experiments, where was there any surplus to give to the emperor?
Shang Jinxiu gave An Donghua a copy, saying that he sent someone to find it, although Andong Hua was curious, he didn't ask in detail, and then he chose some secret letters to send to the emperor.
After the Emperor's initial anger, he did not dare to believe the dangers easily. He actually knew that Antonhua was not sure that he would not be able to write it, but he was just a fluke.
Knowing that he had found someone to do the experiment, he was completely convinced that all the hazards listed in the letter were true! The so-called 'loose scattered' is simply a harmful thing! An Donghua deliberately mentioned a sentence that made him feel chills all over his body. Anton Hua said in a secret letter that this kind of harmful thing has appeared in Jiaozhou, but I don't know if there are other places where it is. If the people all use this kind of 'loose scattering', wouldn't the Great Xi Dynasty no longer have no available soldiers?
Now that the Great Xi Dynasty has just been established for a few years, not to mention internal worries, there are a lot of external troubles alone. If such a harmful thing as 'free and scattered' really spreads, wouldn't the Great Xi Dynasty be ruined in one fell swoop?
The more the emperor thought about it, the more frightened he became, and quickly invited his confidants to discuss, he must find out the matter of 'scattering', and must not let this kind of harmful thing spread out!
At this time, the emperor did not know that the 'loose scattering' had already been secretly spreading, but fortunately, this thing was expensive, and it was only circulated among a small number of people, and the situation was not too bad.
The emperor was worried that the people's hearts would be unstable, so he did not dare to publicize it, so he only sent his henchmen to secretly investigate. However, 'Loose Scattered' spread very secretly, and there was not much progress for a while.
These are no longer what An Donghua and Shang Jinxiu are worried about.
Since Anton Hua and Shang Jinxiu talked about it that day, Anton Hua was no longer as restrained as usual, but desperately looking for an opportunity to get close to Shang Jinxiu, pestering Shang Jinxiu to agree to his request to 'try to be together'. Although Shang Jinxiu said that he was not used to it, he had already agreed, and it was not easy to regret it.
Fortunately, Anton Hua is close and close, and he will not make rude moves, nor will he provoke Shang Jinxiu's disgust, but only tests Shang Jinxiu's bottom line from time to time, and every time he controls the bottom line that just does not touch Shang Jinxiu, so that Shang Jinxiu can't get angry if he wants to.
