In the private room, Mao Wenlong was enjoying the food peacefully, waiting for the time to come, but after a while, before he had eaten a few bites of the meal, he heard a noisy sound outside the door.

"What's going on outside the door?" Mao Wenlong put down his chopsticks and asked a little dissatisfied.

A huge figure then appeared, and he bowed his hand and said, "Chief soldier, the prefect of Fucheng has come to ask for a meeting." ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, his own whereabouts in Fucheng this time were not announced. But now that he has just sat down, the prefect already knows. Apparently, his whereabouts have been exposed.

"Let him in." Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment and waved his hand.

"Yes, Commander!" Hao Da said no more, and then turned and left.

After a while, Haoda led a gray-haired old man into the private room: "Chief soldier, bring it to the prefect of Fucheng." ”

Mao Wenlong raised his eyes and looked at the prefect in front of him, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, although he was old, his face was full of righteousness. This appearance gave him an impression of integrity, Mao Wenlong's serious expression gradually dissolved, replaced with a hint of a smile and then asked softly: "Lord Prefect is in a hurry to see this general soldier, I don't know what is going on?" ”

The prefect's clear eyes stared at Mao Wenlong for a while before he bowed: "Guangzhou prefect Yan Zhenghai has seen the chief soldier. ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand to signal Haoda to step back first, and then his eyes stayed on Yan Zhenghai's face, but he didn't speak.

Yan Zhenghai paused for a moment before continuing: "The lower officer learned that the general army had arrived, and he wanted the general army to be in charge of some urgent matters. So I don't dare to delay. I hope that the general soldier will not blame the rudeness of the subordinates. ”

"Governor Yan, please sit down and speak, if there is anything to say bluntly, this general soldier will not blame you." Mao Wenlong said indifferently.

"Thank you, Commander."

Yan Zhenghai was not polite, and sat down generously. After that, he said to Mao Wenlong: "The general army has just arrived, and you may not know that this city is prosperous on the surface, but in fact, it has been invaded full of holes inside. If we don't find a way to remedy it quickly, it will be very dangerous. ”

"Oh, since it's such an important matter, why didn't the Yan Governor's Mansion play and inform the court of the matter?" Mao Wenlong had already guessed what Yan Zhenghai was going to say next at this moment.

"Alas! Xia Guan has played the court no less than ten times in a row, but there is always no response. The only time he responded was when Lord Hong Chengchou informed the subordinate that the general soldier would go to the Drunken Immortal Tower today. The subordinate came to tell the general army the real situation in the city today. What Lord Hong meant by his words was that only the chief soldier could solve what the subordinate officials wanted to say in front of him. ”

Yan Zhenghai was also very helpless, he played the court many times but there was always no news. finally looked forward to replying to the letter, but found out that it was a private message from Hong Chengchou to himself, asking him to come here to see Mao Wenlong and explain things clearly. Yan Zhenghai was apprehensive, and finally met Mao Wenlong, but found that Mao Wenlong was very indifferent.

For a while, Yan Zhenghai's already inappropriate mood became even more and more nervous. You must know that Mao Wenlong is already his last hope, if even Mao Wenlong doesn't care, then Daming will face a more severe test.

"Oh, since that's the case, then Governor Yan will tell you about it." Mao Wenlong chuckled.

Whether it is a blessing or a curse, Yan Zhenghai can't take care of it so much, so he opened his mouth and said: "Chief soldier, I don't know if you know how much harm the smoke is to my Ming Dynasty?" ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head lightly, and then motioned for Yan Zhenghai to continue.

Although Yan Zhenghai was a little disappointed on his face, he still held on to hope: "The smoke has now spread to the entire Ming Dynasty, and the north may not be as powerful as the south now, but Xia Guan estimates that it will not take half a year." If the imperial court does not stop it, there will inevitably be endless troubles. ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, and then said: "After listening to what I have said so much, the general soldier still doesn't know what harm this big smoke is. Governor Yan might as well talk about the dangers of this smoke first, so that the general soldier can better understand. ”

Yan Zhenghai was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "It's the lower officials who are confused, in fact, the biggest harm of this big smoke is to erode the smoker's body and consciousness." Those in the south who have smoked cigarettes for more than a year have become people who are not ghosts. And there is no doctor who has been able to get rid of the addiction of these big smokers. ”

After speaking, Yan Zhenghai looked at Mao Wenlong, a little apprehensive in his heart, I don't know if Mao Wenlong understands or doesn't understand such an explanation.

Mao Wenlong suddenly laughed, Yan Zhenghai's face was full of confusion, and he really didn't understand why Mao Wenlong suddenly laughed.

Just when Yan Zhenghai was puzzled, Mao Wenlong suddenly got up and said: "Governor Yan, this general soldier will tell you the truth, this time I came to Fucheng specifically for the big smoke. Moreover, the general soldier has been worrying about who to find to deal with the problem of the flood of smoke, and from what you just said, the general soldier thinks that you are a good candidate. ”

Mao Wenlong's understanding of Dayan is no less than Yan Zhenghai's, but he also asked so carefully in order to test how much Yan Zhenghai knows about the dangers of Dayan. From what he just described, Mao Wenlong was already convinced that Yan Zhenghai was the talent he needed.

The huge gap in his heart made Yan Zhenghai stupid, and he reacted after a long time, and asked Mao Wenlong with a puzzled tone: "Chief soldier, this time is specially for the big smoke?" ”

Nodding, Mao Wenlong said straight to the point: "That's true, the harm of big smoke is not just what Governor Yan just said. The harm of the smoke has actually endangered the survival of the Ming Dynasty, and it must not be underestimated. ”

"So how is the general soldier going to deal with it? Should a smoking ban be issued outright, or should the people who sold the big tobacco be expelled? Yan Zhenghai asked urgently.

"Only in this way can the smoke be extinct in the vast land of the Ming Dynasty. Damn the Yi people want to use the smoke to invade our entire Ming nation, then this general soldier will definitely not let them go easily. ”

Mao Wenlong finished speaking viciously, then looked at Yan Zhenghai and continued: "Governor Yan can go back to the yamen first and wait in peace, and after two days at the latest, this general soldier will go over in person, and then discuss with you how to control the big smoke." ”

Yan Zhenghai didn't dare to say more, he bowed and left satisfied.

Mao Wenlong's eyes looked at the next room, and a sneer burst out in his heart.

At this time, next door, there was a carnival, Gore and Jerry found more than a dozen girls, and they were indulging in playing with wine.

Mao Wenlong glanced at Haoda, who was standing beside him, and then returned to the table safely and continued to eat.
