Chapter XVI: Extortion

"What can it mean? It's nothing but extortion! Hmph, I want to take a look, this Chu family...... I am not satisfied with getting so many golden buns, how much do you want to extort from my Wang family! The old lady patted the mahogany box and said angrily.

……

Leaving the Wang family, Song Nian and the others got into the carriage.

"Black Bull, look at the point, being asked to approach the carriage." Chu He commanded.

"It's my lord!" Zhang Heiniu stood on the wheel of the car and looked around.

The carriage sparkled forward.

"Lord Chu, so cautious?" Song Nian was a little curious.

"Well, this Wang family...... Not quite right. For us, very wary. Chu He groaned.

"Well, that's not quite right." Song Nian nodded: "But Lord Chu, didn't you give the Wang family gifts and return a lot of things to them, why are you still not satisfied?" ”

"Well, although the seized things were sent back, I always feel that the Wang family is very hostile to us." Chu He frowned: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't." I went to visit people in Chuhe, and no one had ever been so wary of me. ”

Song Nian smiled when he heard this: "My Lord Chu, you have forgotten, your Black Armor Army, but you have the power of detective, in this world, who is not secretly vigilant against you?" Otherwise, if there is really a handle in your hands, wouldn't it be necessary to be stripped of a layer of skin by the black armor soldiers? If you don't do it, your wife and daughter's property will be confiscated by the black army. ”

This is not Song Nian's blind guessing, I heard my father say that many big families collapsed suddenly like this, and the original noble lady was all used as military discipline.

"I'm not you, not a woman." Chu He frowned and said.

Song Nian was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "You are not a good woman!" No, you're a good woman...... No, it's making you confused, are you a good man, a good man! ”

Chu He frowned: "What nonsense!" Main ...... I'm asking you a serious question. ”

As soon as he got down to business, Song Nian was also serious.

"Just ask."

"I asked you to go to the inside of the Wang family to check if you have ...... What clues did you find? Chu He frowned.

Song Nian thought for a while: "Hmm...... First of all, this Wang family has dismissed many servants in recent years, and I look at these servants, and it is very likely that they have found something. ”

"Oh, what's unusual?" Chu He leaned forward.

"Not far from the residence of these servants, I saw a once very thick wall, the time when the wall should be built is not often, that is, in the past few years, the color of the wall is a little different from the original blue brick wall of the Wang family, the key is ......" Song Nian slowly recalled.

"What's the key?" Chu He asked.

"The point is...... Behind the wall, I heard the roar of a beast. ”

Chu He frowned: "Could it be that the Wang family is domesticating wild beasts?" ”

"No, Lord Lachu, I've heard the roar of these beasts...... Song Nianshen said mysteriously: "Do you know, this voice, the last time I heard it, it was still ...... A field in the clouds. ”

"A field in the clouds?" Chu He was stunned: "The Wang family...... ...... in the clouds"

Song Nian nodded and said in a low voice: "At that time, I was helping out in the house of the divine doctor Kang Ming in Yunzhong Yanchang, and in the rammed earth houses next to him, there were Hu people locked up, and those Hu people all let out this beast-like howl. ”

Chu He frowned: "What do you mean?" The Wang family, using people to secretly train soldiers? I've heard that in the jungles of the Far South, there are people who use bloody methods to train ordinary people into tireless monsters who only know how to kill. ”

"My Lord Chu, this kind of person is not clear, he only knows what kind of lethality he can have...... "Song Nian said helplessly: "I guess these people have eaten the magic medicine of the Hu people." ”

"Hu people's miracle medicine? How did you come up with this? Chu He frowned.

Song Nian smiled: "Which little maid did I just dress......

"What, which little maid do you dress?" Chu He glanced at Song Nian.

"Lord Chu! We're talking about the case, can we not talk about these things! "Song Nian is angry, you have a good chat about the case, what topic do you give me.

"Uh...... Okay, it's okay, understand, understand, keep talking, keep talking. Chu He coughed and said seriously.

"Alright, move on." Song Nian's mouth was dry, and he licked his tongue: "Lord Chu, you may not know that this little maid has the smell of the Huren magic medicine, although it is very light, but because it is too close, I smell it." ”

"The smell is very faint, it's too close, it smells out." Chu He remembered it carefully.

"Well, in addition to this, I also suspect that the Hu people's magic medicine is a ...... How to say it, it is a strange drug that will make people want to die if you don't eat it for a long time, and it is completely controlled. "Song Nian really wanted to talk about poison hidden, but considering this era, I'm afraid that without such words, Chu He probably won't understand.

"I see...... What do you mean...... This Hu people's magic medicine is very likely to be...... Opium? Chu He seemed to have suddenly realized.

Song Nian was stunned: "Opium ...... Opium...... Yes, yes, it should be opioids! ”

Although Song Nian had never seen the real thing in his previous life, he knew too much about this kind of thing. That's what a huge empire that accounts for a quarter of the world's GDP has been poisoned by this kind of thing.

"Lord Chu, since this is the case, I think I should pay attention to it and investigate this case thoroughly!" Song Nian said loudly.

By the way, I'm just curious, what is that set of tools?

Chu He rubbed his ears: "Why are you yelling so loudly?" ”

Song Nian smiled awkwardly.

The carriage was a little bumpy, Chu He put his hands on his knees, frowned and said, "What is this Wang family doing with opium?" ”

Song Nian's mind opened up at this time, and he immediately said: "Used to ...... Control people! ”

"Controllers?" Chu He was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember some bad memories.

"Yes, the controller!" Song Nian's train of thought straightened out, and he talked endlessly: "Yes, the Wang family probably used opium to control Xue Hu and Xue Long, otherwise the general here will be the main general, how can an account room be able to control it?" Only with opioids, after becoming addicted, made the two of them want to stop. ”

Chu He nodded: "In this way, the ...... behind the high wall of the Wang family is closed"

Song Nian took over the conversation: "It shows that the people behind the high wall are all people who are being tortured by the Wang family!" Once these people succumb to the poison, no matter what the Wang family asks them to do, then they will kill their parents, wives and children, and they will also fall with knives. ”

"Well, I can't believe that you know opioids so well. This opium is indeed too poisonous! Chu He's eyes were faintly angry.

Hi, this is all too good for the education in the previous life.

Song Nian continued: "But there is one thing I am curious about. ”

Chu He frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

Song Nian frowned and said, "This Wang family has a big family, and some people like to raise maids...... It stands to reason that there is a large population, why, why, would Wang Shoucai, a completely unobtrusive gentleman, be the next head of the family? ”
