At first, the Shendan did not appear in the swamp province, but appeared in another state capital, the southern rock province. This Namam province is adjacent to the province of Pyu and has many strange animals and plants. There are a lot of strange but very miraculous medicines in Lingnan that are made from the plants and animals here.

There are a lot of forbidden medicine primers in the Western Regions, and I heard that they are also from here. Most of the medicinal materials in the banned medicines of countries such as Pyu and Annam also come from here.

Here, there are also many poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, poisonous ants and other animals. Lingnan's poisons are famous all over the world because there are many poisons that people in the world have never heard of. Moreover, the toxicity of these poisons is very terrifying, once poisoned, it is basically a dead end, because there is no drug to detoxify.

Zhao Yao learned that the place where the Divine Pill first appeared was in Nanyan Mansion, which was rich in poisons, and his first reaction was that there was something wrong with this so-called Divine Pill. He didn't know about the existence of the Divine Pill some time ago, and he only learned about it in the past two days.

He was able to know about the existence of the Divine Pill because a merchant in Annan specially spent a lot of money to buy a bottle of the Divine Pill to give it to him in order to curry favor with him. He boasted the effect of the elixir very godly.

Zhao Yao originally thought that the Divine Pill belonged to Annan, and later Zheng Qian also brought him a bottle. Zheng Qian's bottle of divine pill was given by an inland merchant who came to the swamp mansion to do business, in order to curry favor with Zheng Qian, hoping that Zheng Qian could open the door for him.

Zheng Qian didn't believe in any divine pills either, but he listened to the merchant blow it into the sky and told him that there were many high-ranking officials and nobles in the interior who were eating divine pills. The effect of this divine pill is very good, one pill is worth a thousand gold, and there are many people who want to buy it, but they can't buy it.

Zhao Yao learned that there were also people in the capital who were eating this so-called divine pill, and he felt that there was something wrong with this divine pill. He hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to investigate what medicinal materials were in the Divine Pill, was it really useful, or was it a harmful poison?

He then sent people to Annan to investigate the origin of the Shendan. According to the survey, not only Annam, but also Johor, Pyu, Siam, etc. The dignitaries and royalty of these countries are eating and are very obsessed.

After a detailed investigation, it was found that the Shendan did not originate from Annam. Its real source comes from Lingnan, which was made by the Great Zhou people, and was secretly sold into countries such as Annam and Biguo.

"Shendan is from Nanyan Mansion in Lingnan?" At the mention of Nanyan Mansion, Zhao Yao's brows furrowed, "Are you sure the source is really in Nanyan Mansion?" ”

"My lord, it's confirmed." The spies in the Dark Guard Camp continued, "Most of the medicinal herbs in the Divine Pill are taken from the Poison Mist Forest. "The Poisonous Fog Forest is a mountain forest in Nam Am Province, because there are many terrifying poisons in it, and even the fog that surrounds the mountains is poisonous, so the local people call it the "Poisonous Fog Forest".

When Zhao Yao heard this, his heart suddenly changed: No wonder Dr. Tong and they have been studying the Divine Pill for so many days, and they have not found out what medicinal materials are in the Divine Pill. Because they have never been to the Poison Mist Forest, nor have they come into contact with the medicinal herbs of the Poison Mist Forest.

"Who made the Divine Pill?"

The spy replied respectfully: "Southern Wei people." ”

Hearing this answer, Zhao Yao was not a little surprised in his heart. He said with a gloomy face, "Sure enough, they did it." After learning of the existence of the Divine Pill, his first reaction was something made by the Southern Wei people.

"Lord, the news from the Western Regions has come back that there are also divine pills in many places in the Western Regions." The spy reported, "The Southern Wei people also sent the Divine Pill to King Han, but King Han didn't eat it. ”

"Even the Western Regions?" As long as it is an elixir made by the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty, it will definitely not be good. Now that the Divine Pill has appeared in so many places, what do the Southern Wei people want to do.

"What is the reaction of people who have eaten the Divine Pill?" This so-called divine pill should be a poison, and the purpose should be to control people.

"When an older person eats it, his body becomes stronger and his appearance becomes much younger...... just like the boasting effect outside.

Zhao Yao asked: "After they ate for a while, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Everything is normal at the moment, no one has any problems for the time being."

"Everything is normal?" Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "With the sinister and treacherous nature of the Southern Wei people, it is impossible to really sell magic medicine. Besides, they are not short of money, and it is impossible for them to make money by selling miracle medicines. ”

"My lord, do you mean that the Southern Wei people want to control them through the Divine Pill?"

Zhao Yao bowed his head slightly and said: "This divine pill should be poison, there must be no problem just after eating it, but there will definitely be a problem if you eat too much, and if the Southern Wei people don't give them the antidote, they will be poisoned to death." ”

"My lord, Annan and those dignitaries in Johor let their subordinates taste it before they eat it themselves." The spy said, "After the people have eaten for a while, the doctor will check their pulse, and there is no sign of poisoning in them." ”

"It's normal to just eat for a while, and you can't find out the poisoning." Zhao Yao said thoughtfully, "Many chronic poisons take a year and a half to diagnose poisoning. ”

"My lord, do you think it's a chronic poison?"

"Quite possibly." Zhao Yao looked at the spy and instructed, "You send someone to continue to investigate this matter, and then keep an eye on the side of the Poisonous Mist Forest, it is best to find a way to know the composition of the Divine Pill." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhao Yao waved his hand to let the spies retreat, and then asked Tongxi to call the officials of the customs, he had something to order.

When the customs officials came, Zhao Yao instructed them to strictly check the drugs coming from Annan and Johor from today. If someone is found to be carrying the so-called divine pill to pass the customs, they will all be detained.

Zhao Yao also instructed Wen Daoji and them to strictly investigate the divine pills in Lingnan, and once they found that there were divine pills for sale, or for the purchase and consumption of divine pills, they were all arrested. Later, he issued another order prohibiting the people of Lingnan from taking the elixir.

Although this will startle the snake, but in order to prevent the Southern Wei people from harming more people, he must turn the Divine Pill into a forbidden medicine, otherwise if the Divine Pill is passed on, I don't know how many people will be poisoned to death by the Divine Pill.

Zhao Yao was worried that the emperor did not know about the existence of the Divine Pill, so he hurriedly wrote a secret letter and asked the Qianlong Guards to send them back to the capital in an expedited manner. He also wrote letters to the kings of Chu and Wei, telling them to be careful of the Divine Pill. Once the elixir is discovered, it is best to catch the person who sells the medicine immediately.

The Southern Wei people secretly sold the Divine Pill, and Song Dachuan and Duan Jiangcheng didn't know about it, and they didn't know if the starling knew about it. Whether the starling knew it or not, he had to remind the starling.

In the evening, Song Dachuan quietly came to see Zhao Yao. He told Zhao Yao that the Southern Wei people in the swamp mansion had heard of the Divine Pill, but they did not know that the Divine Pill was made by his own people.

"Duan Jiangcheng doesn't know either?"

"I tested him, and he really didn't know."

"What about the Southern Wei people in other state capitals?"

"I asked, too, and they don't know."

"Don't know?" Zhao Yao looked surprised.

"I also asked the people over there in Nanyan Mansion, and they also said they didn't know."

"The Divine Pill was made by them, how could they not know." Zhao Yao secretly thought in his heart: There are a small number of Southern Wei people who secretly make divine pills, and they also hide it from their own people, it seems that their plans are not small.

"I also deliberately asked the people from Nanyan Mansion to help me get the Divine Pill, and they said that if they could get it, they would help me get it." Song Dachuan said again, "I also told them that the Shendan is so popular and sold so expensive, we can make it ourselves." ”

Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "What do they say?" ”

"Basically, they all support my statement and will react to it with me." Song Dachuan didn't understand why he wanted to hide so many people from them when he was doing such a thing as a divine pill. He also wanted to know who was secretly doing the Divine Pill behind his back. "I think in a few days, the people in the capital will respond to me."

"Have you asked anyone in your family?"

"I asked, but they didn't know about the existence of the Divine Pill, and they didn't find out that anyone was buying or selling the Divine Pill."

"Does the starling know the Divine Pill?" This is what Zhao Yao is most concerned about.

"If the Lord doesn't know the Divine Pill, I don't know." Song Dachuan's identity is not enough, where can he know about King Wei.

"How many factions are there within your Southern Wei people?" Zhao Yao asked curiously, "Which faction do you think will be able to achieve the Divine Pill?" ”

"I suspect it was Kou Nanyu's gang who did it." Song Dachuan said with a face full of resentment, "Their gang of people does not obey the lord and rarely interacts with us. I heard that they fell out with us many years ago, and asked us not to meddle in their affairs, and they will not care what we do, and the well water will not interfere with the river water. ”

"Why haven't I heard of you before?" Zhao Yao didn't expect that there would be such a group of people in the Southern Wei Dynasty.

"They haven't been with us for decades, and I didn't think of them for a while, but I only thought of them after you told me about the Divine Pill." Song Dachuan and his gang regard Kou Nanyu's group as traitors, and they disdain to associate with them on weekdays, "I heard that their gang is good at pharmaceuticals, and the Shendan is made by them, there is no doubt about it." ”

"If it's really as you think, wouldn't starlings be in danger?"

"Don't worry, although Kou Nanyu's gang is not obedient to the lord, they will never harm the lord, after all, the lord is the only bloodline of the Southern Wei royal family."

Hearing Song Dachuan say this, Zhao Yao felt relieved.

"You keep an eye on it."

"Don't worry, I'll keep watching."

Zhao Yao told Song Dachuan a few more words, and then let him leave.

At this time, He Lianfang walked out in a wheelchair and asked, "Do you think his words are credible?" ”

"It is credible, there was already discord within the Southern Wei people." Zhao Yao's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, "It should be done by the people of the Kou Nanyu faction he just said." ”

"Do you really think it's going to be that simple?"

"Second uncle, do you also think this matter is not simple?"

He Lianfang nodded lightly: "The Southern Wei people are scheming, it is impossible to just sell the Divine Pill to control people. ”

"Second uncle, what do you think their ultimate goal is?"

He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao: "Didn't you guess it in your heart?" ”

Zhao Yao laughed out loud when he heard He Lianfang say this: "Second uncle, we really have a good heart." ”

"You shouldn't have ordered the ban on the Divine Pill before." He Lianfang felt that Zhao Yao had startled the snake by doing this.

"Second uncle, you also know that the final consequences of this matter will be very serious, if I don't ban the Divine Pill in order not to startle the snake, then there will be more Divine Pill flowing inland, and more people will take it at that time, and the situation will become very bad, I am afraid that it will be too late to control it at that time." Zhao Yao's expression was very serious, and his tone was sharp, "Now that the Divine Pill has just begun to flow, remember to control it, hurry up and prohibit it, and save the matter from becoming more and more serious." What he was most afraid of was that the Divine Pill would eventually evolve into something that ordinary people could afford to eat.

"They can make magic pills, and they can continue to make other medicines in the future." He Lianfang said, "If you don't catch them, endless divine pills will still appear." ”

"I've asked the people of the Dark Guard Camp to keep an eye on them, and when the time comes, I'll wipe them out." Speaking of this, Zhao Yao's face became very solemn, "The Divine Pill is now worth a thousand gold, I am worried that some high-ranking and powerful people in the capital will not be able to stand the temptation of the Divine Pill, and cooperate with the Southern Wei Dynasty to make the Divine Pill popular among the civil and military officials." "There are a few people in this world who can resist the temptation of money, and how many people can resist the temptation to become younger.

"Maybe the emperor has already eaten it, and he thinks the effect is good, so he doesn't issue an order to prohibit the use of the divine pill."

"Second uncle, do you think my father is so stupid?"

"There are a few emperors who can resist the temptation to live longer and become younger." He Lianfang sneered, "I'm afraid that the emperor will treat the divine pill as a tribute." ”

"If it were another emperor, he would definitely not be able to resist the temptation of the divine pill, but his father would never be able to." Zhao Yao sneered, "Don't talk about the effect of becoming younger, just talk about prolonging life, and my father will refuse." ”

"Do you think the emperor doesn't want to live long?" He Lianfang said with a smile, "Is there anyone in this world who is afraid to live long?" ”

"No one will be disgusted with living long, but my father will be disgusted with being an emperor for a long time." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Eating the Divine Pill can prolong his life, which means that he will be the emperor for a few more years." "If the Divine Pill can really prolong life and make people young and strong, then he must buy it for the Stinky Father to eat, so that the Stinky Father will become younger and younger, so that the Stinky Father will not hit him with his ideas.

He Lianfang wanted to refute Zhao Yao's words, but she couldn't, because Zhao Zheng really didn't want to be the emperor for a few more years.

"Besides, over the years, there have been many Taoist priests and monks who have offered immortal medicine to their father, and the father has drenched the blood of the dogs they scolded, and forbade them to sell pills to harm the people. Taoist alchemy, as well as monks making immortal medicines, have existed since ancient times, and they are also very popular. In the previous dynasty, many emperors were obsessed with alchemy or taking pills, and the result was either death or madness. In short, the pill is not shallow.

After the emperor decreed that Taoist priests were forbidden to sell pills to monks, this trend disappeared. However, it is impossible to completely eradicate their alchemy. Secretly, there are still many people who sell pills and eat pills.

"Second uncle, even if you look down on my father, you don't have to insult him like this."

He Lianfang kept a calm face and did not speak.

Zhao Yao couldn't help but smile and said, "The top priority now is to figure out what medicinal materials are in the Divine Pill and what kind of toxicity it has. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the poison that plagued the people in Zhao Yao's world in his dream. (End of chapter)
