"By the way, what the hell is going on? Why are there Fusang people in Qu County? ”

Han Jiangxue asked.

The shopkeeper replied: "Miss, we don't know what's going on, I was supposed to sell some firearms to Suzhou according to the requirements of the clan, but because I forgot to take the paperwork, I returned to Qu County, unexpectedly, a group of Fusang warriors suddenly came in and opened the city gate, followed by artillery washing. ”

"The group of foreign devils also followed and killed, they slaughtered people when they saw them, and robbed things when they saw them, and most of the people in the city were slaughtered by him, but the strange thing is that they locked up the shopkeeper of our shop. And said, do business with us! ”

Han Jiangxue looked at him: "What business?"

"A leaf that is addictive when smoked."

Li Daiyu was stunned: "Fairy leaf!" ”

Han Jiangxue: "You know? ”

Li Daiyu: "It was popular in Fusang for a period of time, it is said that sucking this leaf will give birth to many beautiful illusions, but in fact it is a kind of poison, Master said that this leaf sucks back and damages the brain, and will form long-term dependence, and in severe cases, it will even be life-threatening!" ”

"At first, the Fusang families were not controlled, until later, the Hongyi merchants suddenly ran out of stock and sold them at an extremely outrageous price, and the Fuso families immediately dispatched samurai to destroy all these leaves, and no one was allowed to smoke them."

The shopkeeper Lu said: "Why does this girl know so much about Fusang? ”

Han Jiangxue interrupted: "Shopkeeper Lu, how long has this leaf appeared?" ”

The shopkeeper Lu said: "About three or four months, it was first spread from the Chamber of Commerce in Fusang, by the way, the former Foreign Minister of Fusang, Koizumi Iuichi, also gave this thing as a tribute to the Queen Mother and her old man." ”

"Some noble ladies in the coastal area, outsiders have begun to become popular, and some people among the people have made up a smooth saying, 'If you don't eat fairy grass for a day, your family wealth will be in vain'!"

"This thing is very profitable, but there are also officials who strongly oppose it, and Lord Lin Zeshan, the county commander of Quxian County, once wrote to the imperial court to ban this fairy grass. However, it was rejected by the DPRK and China several times. ”

"Later, regardless of the reproach of the officials, Lord Lin led the officers and soldiers of Qu County to collect all the fairy grass in Qu County, and burned it in front of the Hongyi people!"

"And those who sold fairy grass were directly and secretly executed by Lord Lin!"

As soon as these words came out, Han Jiangxue was stunned, Lin Zeshan, she had some impressions, that was one of the few promising young people born in cloth in Chaozhou, she intended to carry it before, but Lin Zeshan was not willing to take the relationship, but wrote to the imperial court to transfer to Qu County, where bandits are rampant.

No one expected that in just half a year, Qu County, a land of poor mountains and bad waters, would be turned into a county with good political knowledge, but it has only been a few months before it will become like this!

Moreover, according to the laws of Great Xia, a county magistrate is not qualified to execute a prisoner, even if he is sentenced to death, he needs to report to the Criminal Department for approval, and even take him to the Criminal Department for verification.

Lin Zeshan is not the kind of person who does not know the king's law and acts recklessly, unless the person he kills is the person who must be killed.

Han Jiangxue groaned: "What is the harm to the people caused by the flood of fairy leaves? ”

Lu shopkeeper said: "The fairy leaf, the price is not expensive at the beginning, it is nothing more than two copper plates, on the edge of the sea, the fisherman goes to sea all the year round and suffers from rheumatism and headache, at the beginning everyone advertises that the fairy leaf can relieve pain." ”

"Anyway, just two copper plates, many people began to buy to try, and then the effect was really good, so more and more people snapped up, after half a month, the price became ten copper plates and a leaf, and then it was a price a day, until recently it was one or two silver and a leaf."

Han Jiangxue was shocked, one or two pieces of silver can be enough for ordinary people's expenses for a month or two!

"It's so expensive, and anyone else buys it?"

Lv shopkeeper: "It's not, even robbing, this thing will make people want to stop, I have a little two in the store unfortunately infected, he said that he doesn't eat for a day, like a cat's claws scratching his heart, I looked for a doctor to see for him, who would have thought that the doctor was also infected with ......"

"Most of the young people in this Qu County have been infected with this thing in just three months, and Lord Lin ordered the killing in order to cut off its roots, but who would have thought that retribution would come so quickly."

"What about Lin Zeshan?" Li Daiyu asked.

Lu shopkeeper: "After the city was broken, I was arrested, I heard that they were going to skin and cramp, and they wanted to let those who dared to ruin their business take a look!" ”

Li Daiyu: "At the beginning, it was the same in Fusang, if it weren't for the Amaterasu Shrine, I'm afraid this thing would still be flooding Fusang, even if some people secretly eat it now." ”

Han Jiangxue muttered: "Is there a possibility that this thing was brought by Fusang?" ”

Li Daiyu: "It should be brought by the Hongyi people, after all, there is no business comparable to it, this is a million profits!" ”

Han Jiangxue groaned: "How did the Han family express its position? ”

The shopkeeper Lu paused: "The Han family also wants to do this business......

Han Jiangxue said coldly: "A group of old things who see money and open their eyes. ”

"Princess, you are here, does the prince of Qiongzhou know?" Shopkeeper Lu asked.

Han Jiangxue smiled: "No accident, he has already gone ashore!" ”

……

Chaozhou, in an unknown wild port, in order not to startle the snake, Qin Yun and others chose to log in at night, and hide the battleship in the river during the day.

Of course, even if it is discovered, there are enough steam speedboats in Qiongzhou to deal with it.

"Lord Wang, thirty miles to the east is Qu County!"

Lu Le was carried, and he was shot in the knee, but Qin Yun needed his direction, so he simply arranged for the people of the Candle Dragon Shadow to carry him away.

Qin Yun beckoned, Bai Feiyang, and Chen Jin stepped forward.

Qin Yun said: "Let the spies go out and find out the enemy's situation!" ”

"You two are one on the left and one on the right."

"No!"

Qin Yun and the others walked eastward without hurry, walking for about ten miles, but they saw someone wailing on the ground.

Qin Yun stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Fellow, what's wrong with you?" ”

The man's eyes were red and skinny, as if he hadn't slept in days.

"My lord, it's okay, give me a fairy leaf!"

Qin Yun frowned: "What is that?" ”

Lu Le immediately explained: "Lord Wang, that is a leaf that can treat rheumatism and headaches, it is foreign, sold by the Fusang people, but this thing will make people want to ......."

Qin Yun was taken aback after hearing this, isn't that the same as 'opium'?

Fuso people selling? Bastard!

"My lord, okay, give me a leaf!"

The man hugged Qin Yun's thigh, and the candle dragon sergeant on the side dragged him away.

Qin Yun's heart was filled with boundless anger, first someone deliberately leaked the gunpowder formula, and someone else sent this so-called fairy leaf to the territory of Great Xia.

This is going to directly bring down Great Xia!

Hongyi people's attack on Qu County, could it be that it is also related to this? Or are they already hooked up with Fuso?

Qin Yun said in a deep voice: "Inform Chen Jin and let him take someone to check the situation within a radius of ten miles, Yang Gong!" ”

"In!"

Yang Gong stepped forward.

"You don't have to follow this king, give you three days to investigate the situation of the spread of fairy leaves in Chaozhou, and inform Qiongzhou, Ryukyu, and the entire territory of Yueguo, no one is allowed to sell this thing, if there is a violation, behead!"

"No!"

……

Suzhou, inside the Jingtong Canal.

Qin Zheng and the others went down by boat, and as the Great Xia mission, they wanted to transfer to the treasure ship they got from the Wu State to show the prestige of the Great Xia country.

The rest of the mission officials went to visit their old friends, and Qin Zheng came to a painting boat belonging to the Listening Rain Building, where he was so panicked these days that he was about to pretend to be a dog in the capital.

"Son, the slave family feeds you grapes!"

Qin Zheng grabbed the charming woman and held her in his arms, and put his hands up and down, when a guard stepped forward.

"Your Highness, Ichichi Koizumi asks to see you!"

Qin Zheng's eyes were cold, and then he waved his hand, and the women retreated in amusement, but Qin Zheng pressed the person in his arms under the table.

The latter was familiar with the road and worked underneath, and at this time Iichi Koizumi had already stepped forward.

"What are you doing here?" Qin Zheng asked while enjoying himself.

Xiao Quanjing opened the door and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the little one has brought you silver!" ”

"Silver?"

Xiao Izumi said with a smile: "The small representative of the Hongyi people informed His Highness in advance, as long as His Highness is willing to open these ports on behalf of the imperial court, the Hongyi people are willing to give His Highness 30 million taels every year." ”

Qin Zheng squinted, this is not a small amount, and now the two percent that the imperial court lacks is almost the same as this number, but the Hongyi people have such good intentions?

"Just open ports?"

"That's right, it's just an open port to do business, but the imperial court has to give the Hongyi people privileges, and some business can only be done by them."

"For example?"

"For example, this fairy leaf business!"

Qin Zheng frowned: "This thing is not liked by my father!" You are so bold that you dare to take it in front of this prince. ”

"Your Highness, the treasury of Great Xia is empty, if Your Highness can solve these few percent of the tax silver, it must be a great achievement, Your Highness don't forget, although Your Highness is the crown prince, it is not without competitors!"

"Just with Emperor Xia's attitude towards Qin Yun, His Royal Highness also has to think about it for himself, and besides, this Immortal Empress Dowager Ye said it was good, why should His Highness object?"

"And this thing can give first-class martial artists a chance to break through the realm of the grandmaster. Of course, a specific secret method is needed, and the contemptible people are willing to offer it. ”

"Is that true?"

"How dare the villain deceive His Highness?"

Qin Zheng waved his hand: "Get out, let Bengong think about it!" ”

"Then look forward to the good news of Your Highness!"

Xiao Quan bowed his hand and retreated, Qin Zheng frowned, and then relaxed.

"Childe, it's time for the slave!"

The woman under the table got up and wiped the corners of her mouth, but she didn't know that she had reached the end of her life.

Qin Zheng grabbed her neck.

"Gong ...... Why did Childe kill the slave family? ”

"You know too much!"

"Click!" The woman was twisted by Qin Zheng's neck, and then thrown to the ground again.

"Come on, go get the fairy leaves!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

……

Outside the restaurant, Iuichi Koizumi looked at the so-called literati who were staggering on the street, and the corners of his mouth were lightly raised.

"Da Xia, how do you solve this yang scheme?"
