Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Boy, are you new here?" As a result, just as Li Zhen finished muttering, a few people leaning outside the door surrounded him.

Li Zhen immediately pretended to be terrified, and said nervously: "How do you know? You won't bully me just because I'm a newcomer, right? Let me tell you, there is someone behind me. Does the Great Gold Tooth King know? I I'm close to him..."

The first gangster with this wolf head tattoo interrupted Li Zhen, and said angrily, "What's all this mess? Who wants to bully you? The people who come to our No. [-] area are all customers, and we don't say that we bully customers here." The uncle is seeing you as a newcomer and doesn't know the rules. I will give you some pointers in advance. You'd better be careful here, be honest, wink a little more and don't run into someone you can't offend. Then you are the one who will die without burial land.

Regardless of whether you are a prince or a wealthy businessman, you have to listen to us when you come here. We have our own rules in Area [-], and your outside ones are useless.In addition, don't think that you just pick up the name of Master Jin without knowing where it came from. If you let Master Jin know that you use his name as a pretext, you will die even if you escape from Luzon. "

"So the big brothers are good people, hey, I thought I was blackmailed." Li Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's all because of the rumors outside, saying that Area [-] is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones. Now it seems that there are good people in this place."

"Hahaha..." Li Zhen's words made everyone laugh out loud, and even Fang Yiai and the other three couldn't hold back their laughter—His Highness is really good at playing, if these bastards If they knew that the person in front of them who was about to be blackmailed by them was the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, what expression would they have?

"Of course we are good people." The wolf-headed gangster laughed: "But good people also have to eat, we can teach you how to survive in the fifth area, but..."

Reach out and make an international gesture.

"Understood, I understand the rules." Li Zhen showed a clear expression, took out a piece of silver from her purse, and handed it to the wolf-headed gangster with a smile: "There is not much money, be careful, a few big brothers have a cup of tea. "

Seeing the silver, the wolf-headed gangster's eyes lit up: "It's easy to say, this silver is worth two questions, if you don't understand anything, just ask, brother wolf, I have lived here for four or five years, and I am very familiar with this area." , as long as it is not a confidential question, I can answer it."

Li Zhen could see that this group of gangsters were not the kind of gangsters who lived by extortion, they mainly made a living by guiding the newcomers who entered No. Compared with them, such a bastard is still a bit conscientious.

"First of all, the first question, isn't Area [-] the most chaotic place after Area [-] among the six major areas? Why is this street so clean?" Li Zhen asked the first question with a smile.

"Isn't this simple? To attract customers." The wolf-headed gangster said solemnly: "You think, we are gangsters, so we don't care about these things, but the guests are not. If they come, they will find that the place is full of garbage. The stench is full of noses, so how can they be in a good mood to discuss business? So three years ago, several bosses in the fifth area united to clean up the fifth area, so there is a beautiful environment today—yes Now, among those big bosses, there is Jin Ye who you are very familiar with."

Li Zhen gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Oh, so that's the case. No wonder he can become a big boss. This is a long-term vision."

"That's right, otherwise he is the boss and we are gangsters." The wolf-headed gangster also agreed: "Okay, what about your second question?"

"The second question is..." Li Zhen looked around mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "My little brother wants to buy some hawthorn pills. I wonder if big brother has a way?"

"What?" The wolf-headed gangster was taken aback. He hurriedly looked around to see if there was no one there, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and couldn't help scolding: "I said you are too brave, right? You dare to go out with things like hawthorn pills." Say? Don’t you know that this thing is forbidden? I said, don’t pull me if you want to die, that’s fine, I won’t do your business, and I’ll return the money to you, so you can go now.”

Li Zhen is more confident than him: "Of course I know that this thing is a forbidden product, but isn't this a black market? Isn't the black market a place dedicated to selling contraband? You don't even dare to sell hawthorn pills, do you?"

"Nonsense, of course we dare to sell general banned products. The problem is that this is really boycotted by everyone, even gangsters. After the pill was abolished, the bosses in the fifth area joined forces to ban this thing." The wolf-headed gangster lowered his voice and said: "I think you are pleasing to the eye, boy, and you should come here to see the world. Guys are also not allowed to make it, hawthorn pills are one of them, whoever touches it will die... Looking around the entire black market, only Renhetang can sell this kind of thing, but they are also used as medicine, one-time use You can only sell two taels at most, but if you find that you sell too much, you will only have a dead end-the last shopkeeper of Renhetang was killed by several bosses because he sold a little more hawthorn pills. The dead body was not found in the concrete pier until last month."

"So that's the case." Li Zhen nodded pretendingly: "Forget it, I won't ask, thank you brother for clarifying the confusion."

"Even if you ask me again, I won't say it anymore. I'll return the money to you. Hurry up and go." The wolf-headed gangster returned the money that was not hot in his hand to Li Zhen, and then rushed to the distance with his younger brothers. Go, don't even need the gate.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing the distressed appearance of the gangsters, Fang Yiai and the others burst out laughing.

"It's not true what he said?" Li Zhen didn't smile, but frowned and asked. He came from a later generation, and he knows the profit of drugs too well. As long as he can make it, it will be dozens or hundreds of times Profit, if no one does such a business, Li Zhen will not believe anything - even if this kind of thing is boycotted by all gangsters, it can be said that it is blocked by both black and white, but in this world, money is not life. There are so many people, it is impossible for someone not to take risks for the sake of profit. If this thing can be banned so easily, so many people will not die in future generations.

Fang Yiai replied: "Of course it's not true. The profit of Shanzha Pills is too great. No one in this world will have trouble with money. Don't look at those big bosses who hate this thing more than the other on the surface, but the subordinates are very happy. Clearly, most of the bosses have processing factories for hawthorn pills."

"It turned out to be a thief calling for a thief. This group of scumbags really deserve to die." Li Zhen narrowed his eyes. He didn't have many taboos in his heart, but Shanzha Pills were definitely one of them—if someone sold other forbidden items, If Li Zhen could still turn a blind eye, the hawthorn pills would be the last thing he could tolerate.

Speaking of which, Li Zhen was partly responsible for the appearance of Shanzha Pills—five years ago, a wave of enemies from Tianzhu infiltrated Yuezhou City to assassinate Li Zhen, and those enemies were all top experts from Brahmanism , and is proficient in yoga, and can often make moves from unimaginable places. Li Zhenming has many masters under his command, but was defeated by the enemy's strange means, and many masters died without knowing why.The situation at that time was really very dangerous. Fortunately, Li Zhen was usually good to his subordinates. Coupled with the home field factor, countless soldiers and soldiers were stunned to pile up their lives, and finally killed the enemy.

It's just that although the enemy was wiped out, Li Zhen's side also suffered heavy losses. Even if they didn't die, most of them were injured, especially the weapons of those Tianzhu masters were all quenched with poison. The poison was not very violent, but But it is very strange, even with the help of Shiratori and other famous doctors, only a part of the poison was released. Although the remaining poison is fatal, it makes the wounded suffer unbearable pain. Ordinary anesthetics can't afford it at all. Some unbearable warriors even attempted to commit suicide for relief.

Li Zhen couldn't bear to watch the soldiers howling every day, so she ordered Chen Tianlu to extract opium from the poppies to relieve the pain of the soldiers.I have to say that although this opium is not a good thing, it is still very effective in relieving pain. After taking opium, all the soldiers immediately felt that the pain was reduced a lot.

Later, after these people recovered, they praised opium very much, and even some attending doctors at that time began to use this thing to relieve pain for the injured...

then……

Even though Li Zhen had made repeated orders to ban it, opium eventually spread among the people, and even some injured people simply named them to use it to relieve pain...

But what no one knows is what kind of demon they released...

As things continued, some of the injured patients were seriously injured, and the folk doctors had never witnessed the horror of opium, so the opium given to them would inevitably be overdose, so...

Everyone knows this stuff is addictive...

By the time Li Zhen found out, this thing had already started to spread among the people, and even some speculative businessmen had already started to sell it...

And because the earliest opium was sold in a ball shape, the size and color were similar to hawthorn pills, so hawthorn pills became synonymous with opium.

It can be said that it was Li Zhen's single-handed promotion that led to the spread of Shanzha Pills. Li Zhen also regretted it afterwards, but once drugs like this spread, it is very difficult to stop them.

Even if he even made the law himself, anyone found growing or selling hawthorn pills would be killed on the spot without trial, and he killed many drug dealers, but the only effect of this move was to double the price of hawthorn pills. It doubled up, and finally reached the height of one tael of silver and one hawthorn pill. Countless people joined in for the benefit, and the common people couldn't bear it even more, and it didn't have much effect.

The only good thing is that this matter was discovered by Li Zhen relatively early, which led to the fact that Shanzha Pills did not spread as crazy as in the late Qing Dynasty. In addition, his crazy suppression finally had some effect, so the Shanzha Pills Things have always been spread in Lingnan and a part of Nanyang, and have not spread to the whole Tang Dynasty.

"My lord, I don't blame you for this matter. After all, you had no other choice but Shanzha Pills." Cheng Chuliang saw Li Zhen's expression and knew what he was thinking. After all, he was also there at the time, so Knowing the plight of the guards, if the hawthorn pills are not used, it is really better to let them die.

"My son is fine, let's go first, and find out the details here today." Li Zhen suggested, he knew that hawthorn pills are taboo, although the wolf-headed gangster looked very enthusiastic, but it was for the sake of money In fact, the only ones who can hang out here are the scum of the scum, not to mention that they don't ask for their money, if they don't leave, maybe they will bring people to arrest themselves later - after all, although all parties The bosses all made hawthorn pills, but at least on the surface they still hated hawthorn pills. Now that someone came to buy hawthorn pills, they would send someone to check the situation anyway.

If the other party's details are clear, then the matter will be killed directly. If the background is deep... Isn't it just right to do business by inviting people over?

"Yes."

Sure enough, not long after Li Zhen left, the gang of wolf-headed gangsters brought dozens of people back here. Seeing them all holding machetes and looking fierce, they are obviously not easy to mess with, but this scene is placed on the fifth However, it is commonplace in the district, at most there are a few wandering pedestrians hiding, and even the shops on the street are not closed.

Looking at the deserted street, the wolf-headed bastard scratched his head: "Strange, where is the person? He was still here just now."

A man who was obviously the elder brother sneered and said, "Don't worry, since everyone is here, you can always find their traces, Langtou, you did a good job today, as long as you catch them, the elder brother will reward you a lot."

The wolf-headed gangster immediately smiled flatteringly: "More bosses, thank you Brother Cheng."

"Stop talking nonsense and find someone quickly."

"Yes."

Chapter 23 Conflict ([-] words)

Just when those gangsters were looking for Li Zhen's trace under the leadership of the wolf-headed gangster, Li Zhen encountered another trouble in another place.

"Boy, are you new here?" Just after crossing two more blocks, Li Zhen was blocked by people again. Looking at the dozens of people in front of him, each with a watermelon knife in their hands, each of them looked malicious, Obviously different from the wolf-headed gangsters before - this is a group of real scum and scum who make a living by extortion, the kind that death is not a pity.

"How can anyone tell that I'm new here?" Li Zhen was depressed, was her performance that bad?Is it possible for an individual to tell that he is a rookie?

Holding a mace, the gangster leader with a hole in the corner of his mouth solved Li Zhen's doubts: "Hmph, if it wasn't for the newcomer, who would look around like a bumpkin entering the city?"

"So that's how it is." Li Zhen understood, it turned out that there was something wrong with her behavior.

Knowing the reason of the matter, Li Zhen felt relieved, and looked at the gangster in front of her with her arms folded: "Then what are you going to do?"

"You are messing around in my land, what are the rules, do you still need me to say?" Another international gesture: "Protection fee, ten taels per person."

"Are you going to rob?" Li Zhen pretended to be shocked: "Ten taels of silver? Four people are 40 taels. Where did I get so much money?"
