Chapter 151: Ah Qing, You Are His Nemesis (Second Watch)
Since the meat was reopened, Yu's stickiness index has increased linearly, pestering her almost every night, and these days in the morning there is quite a posture of a king not coming to court, and Shen Qing is willing to get up and go to work obediently.
Seeing the disgusted look on his wife's face, Yu Jiuqing raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't continue to lean over, grabbed one of Shen Qing's hands, lowered his head and gently kissed the onion-like fingers, and said: "Wu Shilang's side, Dali Temple will not close the case in the short term, but if the murderer is not found, under the pressure of the people, Wu Shilang is the son of Wu Anhou, and Dali Temple must also act according to the charter, after all, this case is now being stared at by everyone."
I heard Chen Li say that because another arrest in the government was about to have an accident, the people in the government were more resistant to the ban on opium, and the voices of the people questioning whether opium should be banned were getting louder and louder.
The public destruction of opium tomorrow is likely to go awry. ”
Sun Heng also sent someone to talk to Shen Qing about this matter.
Although Shen Qing still insisted on continuing the destruction of opium tomorrow, he also knew that now that the crowd was angry, the resistance would definitely be great tomorrow.
In a better situation, the people are dissatisfied, and they just hold it in their hearts and dare not do anything.
The worst-case scenario is that the people, under the indignation, have a conflict with the people in the government on the spot.
Shen Qing pursed her lips and said, "I'll watch it myself tomorrow." ”
Yu Jiuqing looked at her and nodded, "I'll go with you." ”
He guessed that Qingqing would not be at ease with tomorrow's affairs, and he worked so late today so that he could spare time to accompany her to the site tomorrow to supervise the destruction of opium.
Destroying opioids is not a simple matter, and it does not mean that it is destroyed by burning it with fire.
One of the ways to smoke opium is by igniting it, and if you light it in public, you don't have to get the whole city addicted.
In order to destroy opium, Shen Qing asked Sun Heng to dig two large square pools by the Yuan River in the capital, and each pool dug a strip of water into the river, and when destroying opium, he first diverted water from the river into the pool, sprinkled salt into the pool, and then put the opium into the salt water to soak for half a day, and then put in lime.
When the lime boils in water, the opium in the water will dissolve, and when the opium is completely dissolved, the wastewater will be discharged into the Yuan River, which can be regarded as completely destroying the opium.
The whole process was time-consuming and laborious, and there were a lot of confiscated opiums, which were expected to take three days and three nights to destroy them all.
And in the past three days and three nights, only the opium that was confiscated from the capital was destroyed!
It's just that if this method is feasible, it can be extended to all states, and all states will follow suit, and the opium of Daqi will soon be destroyed.
Therefore, it is very important to destroy opium for the first time tomorrow in front of the population, and only succeed and not fail!
Early the next morning, Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing came to a high tower called Wenyuan Pavilion on the edge of the Yuan River, and the place where the government destroyed opium was next to Wenyuan Pavilion.
The front of the pond was densely packed with people, and they could only watch from a distance under the obstruction of the officers and soldiers.
Those people looked at the excitement, but the expressions on their faces were clearly not interested in watching the excitement, and many people were puzzled, not understanding why so many people had died, and the government had to ban opium so strongly.
A few others looked calm and resentful, and even looked at the officers and soldiers with a hint of resentment.
"Tsk, this atmosphere, those who don't know think they are watching the execution from the sidelines."
Jiang Chengyi's voice suddenly came from behind him, Shen Qing turned his head to look at him, and then withdrew his gaze, "Why are you here?" ”
"Of course I'm going to come and see something like this."
Jiang Chengyi walked to Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing and stood still, looked at the people below and said with a slight pursion in the corners of his mouth: "After all, these things almost ruined the Great Qi, and the courtiers forget it, I didn't expect that so many soldiers in the army would be contaminated with this poison." ”
Since they began to comprehensively investigate opioid addicts, they discovered that this thing had infiltrated the army of Daqi.
Among the defenders of the capital, there are hundreds of people who have been found to be addicted to drugs! It's hard to imagine that if they had found out a little later, their Daqi army would have been wiped out.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengyi couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "The new emperor of Nan'an Kingdom is really just like what you said, and pushed this matter to Da Liang, saying that they are just doing business with Da Liang normally, and what the people of Da Liang do with it after buying opium, they don't know."
And the most successful in the whole thing is the sinister and cunning King Cheng, who is completely hidden behind Da Liang, so far many people only know that this matter is related to Da Liang, but they don't know that there is also King Cheng's handiwork.
Fortunately, the fake epidemic situation he set up this time was broken by Ah Qing, that is, the people didn't know that the opiate matter was related to him, and his popular hearts in Daqi were completely finished. ”
This is called, and if you do too much injustice, you will be killed!
Shen Qing couldn't help but sneer, "The two bureaus set up by King Cheng are worthy of his ten years of dormancy. ”
If one of these two games succeeds, his ambition may be realized.
"Ha, that can only show that Ah Qing is indeed his nemesis, whether it was ten years ago or ten years later."
Jiang Chengyi laughed twice, and suddenly turned to Yu Jiuqing and asked: "Jiuqing, you said earlier that King Cheng would suddenly make a big move at the end of last year, probably because he hooked up with a certain big man in the court, now that I think about it, it is really difficult for these two bureaus to rely only on him and Da Liang to do this, you have been investigating this matter, do you have a clue?" ”
Yu Jiuqing's face was cold, and he slowly shook his head, "No." ”
He could only be sure that the man must exist.
Without his help, King Cheng would not have been able to reunite the forces under his command so smoothly, nor would it be possible to lay out these two games as smoothly as in Daqi under his nose.
Speaking of the fake epidemic incident last time, they finally found out that the source of the people's poisoning was the rice sold in a rice shop called Fengdeng in Wangzhou, and the rice from the rice store was soaked in poisonous water before it was sold, but there were not many toxins, and only after eating it for many years and months and waiting for the toxins in the body to accumulate to a certain extent, would symptoms appear.
Therefore, the sick people gather in the vicinity of Wangzhou, because Fengdeng Rice Store is a very famous rice store in Wangzhou, and there are more than a dozen branches in Wangzhou and its nearby states!
Therefore, as long as one person in a family is sick, the rest will also have symptoms, because rice is basically eaten every day by everyone!
Fengdeng Rice Store is a century-old brand in Wangzhou, but Yu Jiuqing and they went to check later only to find that the rice store had changed hands three years ago, and the new owner said that it was a native of Wangzhou, but it was very mysterious and rarely appeared.
The original owner of Fengdeng Rice Store was a century-old merchant in Wangzhou, but two years ago, the family was burned clean by a sudden fire, and all the files on the change of ownership of Fengdeng Rice Store in the local government were also gone!
Such a big rice bank that is making a profit every year, normal people will not transfer it casually, its original owner will transfer it, there must be other reasons, it is likely that there is a big man in Daqi from it.
And this big man probably left some clues in the government office's dossier on the change of ownership of Mixing, so he did everything possible to steal that dossier.
All this shows that King Cheng has always had someone in the Great Qi court to help him! That man's status is not low!
While they were talking, Sun Heng was already directing people to destroy opium.
The previous steps were all smooth, and although the atmosphere was not good, no one came out to make trouble.
After the officers and soldiers threw the opium into the pool, they had to wait for a while before putting the lime.
However, while waiting, something happened abruptly!
