Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

It was rare for the eldest son to come forward to plead for mercy, so Yinzhen simply gave him face and agreed to it without any objection.

Even so, the three banner commanders still could not escape a reprimand. After all, they messed up a simple task!

Then that afternoon, Honghui personally went to the camp of the Zhengbai Banner.

"Your Highness, please come this way. Most of those lazy soldiers are in these tents." Although he didn't know why Prince Zhao came to the military camp to investigate today, there was nothing wrong except those little bastards. The commander-in-chief of the Plain White Banner led the way and introduced them in a normal manner.

But actually, there was no need for introduction, as this was not the first time that Honghui had returned to the military camp. He still sent the male members of the Uya and Ulanara clans back to the military camp once every six months, but not under the Zhengbai Banner, but under the Zhenghuang Banner to which they belonged.

Less than a quarter of an hour after they started walking, a soldier came forward and lifted the door curtain. Then they saw that there seemed to be a dispute inside the tent, and it looked like a fight was about to break out.

Without waiting for Honghui to ask, the commander of the Plain White Banner immediately frowned and shouted, "What are you doing? Take your hands away! No private fighting is allowed in the military camp. Violators will be punished by military law! If you have the energy, go to the training ground and train or wrestle. You have brought disgrace to the Plain White Banner in front of Prince Zhao!"

Prince Zhao? The current eldest son? ! !

The soldiers knelt down in fear and begged for mercy: "I greet the prince and the commander-in-chief. I am rude, please punish me, prince."

Honghui glanced around and fixed his eyes on those soldiers who had listless expressions, thin bodies, and looked completely different from the others. His intuition told him that there must be something wrong with these people.

"This is?"

"The prince is asking you questions, why don't you tell the truth!"

Someone who looked like the leader but was actually the chief came forward and replied, "Your Highness, there was a theft in the tent. Niu Man, Qi Shan and I had more than four taels of silver stolen. We caught them on the spot, which is why the previous incident happened."

The battalion officer could no longer control his temper and was about to kick them, "Am I short of food and drink for you? Or am I short of your salary? Instead of practicing martial arts to serve the emperor and the country, you dare to steal in the barracks. You are shameless. You have brought shame to the Zhengbai Banner..."

"Stop it! Pull them away! These people will be dealt with according to the law..."

"Your Majesty, I swear to God, our battalion has always received monthly pay and there has never been a shortage. Even if we are extravagant, we would never steal money to make ends meet. These people, ah!!"

During the scuffle, one person somehow tripped and fell, but he did not get up. Instead, he curled up on the ground and yawned.

Looking at the ten people kneeling on the ground again, four or five of them started yawning, and Honghui's heart sank to the bottom.

"How does the longevity paste taste?" he asked casually.

One soldier blurted out: "Very good, floating like in ecstasy, refreshing and sobering. Now I know there is such a pleasure..."

"How dare you talk nonsense? You, you, and all of you, have all the money in your family been emptied? If you don't have money to buy, just steal and rob. You are Manchus from the upper three banners, and you have all degenerated into beasts! Is that longevity cream a good thing? Batulu, who was once a good man, has fallen to the point where he can't even pull a three-force bow. You are courting death!"

Honghui pointed at their noses and started to curse, but it had no effect. The soldiers even argued, "Did your Highness misunderstand? Fushou Paste is opium and opium, which has medicinal effects since ancient times..."

"Shut up! Where did the longevity cream come from? When did you start smoking it?" When did a big opium den appear in the capital?

Out of ignorance and the desire to atone for their sins, several people rushed to tell the truth, "Last year, a big opium den opened in Bada Hutong. It was a tribute from the West. We would not easily entertain anyone who was not an acquaintance."

"Yes, there is everything there to eat, drink and have fun, especially the longevity cream. One sip will make you feel energetic. But the price is a little expensive! I can't wait to buy it, and I won't dare to buy it next time..."

Eight Great Hutongs? ? I regret that I ignored this place of fireworks and didn’t find it until half a year later! I wonder how many people in Beijing have been harmed by the Fu Shou Cream?

Honghui's face turned pale and he ignored the soldiers who kept begging for mercy. He ordered sternly, "Come here, go to the opium den and get some longevity cream. Move quickly and don't alert the enemy!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, the General of the White Banner asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is there any problem with this longevity cream?"

"You smoked it too?"

"I have never touched this longevity cream. Manchu officials are not allowed to go to brothels. I also think it is dirty there, so I have never been to the Eight Great Hutongs." The subordinates, on the other hand, did not have to care about the court's ban. Many people from the Eight Banners loved to go to brothels.

Honghui pursed his lips tightly and said with a sullen face, "Longevity cream is not a good thing. It makes people drunk and numb. Once you get addicted, you can never get rid of it. Your life is ruined! If you are addicted to it, you will sell your children. It will also destroy your body and take away your life. Do you think that longevity cream is a good thing?"

The commander of the Plain White Banner broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard Prince Zhao throw down an order, "Lock up those people first, and wait until their craving for opium comes back. I will take you to see with your own eyes what hell on earth is. Ha!!!" If I don't let these people see the harm of opium with their own eyes, they will think that I am making trouble out of nothing!

Honghui sneered a few times and went to the main account office to wait quietly. During this time, he sent someone to deliver a message to the palace requesting to stay overnight. Anyway, there was no result for today's matter, and he was in no mood to go back home.

As for whether Yinzhen would agree, he certainly agreed. Moreover, he was worried that his eldest son might have encountered some serious problems in the Zhengbai Banner military camp today, so he simply sent Gao Wuyong, who was still useful to him, to serve his eldest son.

When Gao Wuyong arrived, he bumped into someone who went to the opium den to ask for longevity cream. He was confused when he heard the man's reply, "Your Highness, the foreigners in the opium den are not very cautious. You can smoke it in the hall or take it back home to smoke slowly. However, the price of takeout is inevitably higher. I didn't take more, so I just brought back a small can."

"It's enough. It's just for a few experiments. You don't need to be that old. You can go down first."

"Your Majesty?"

Honghui pointed at the small black jar, then pointed in the direction of the soldiers' tents at the rear, and with a cold face explained the whole thing.

The more Gao Wuyong listened, the more cold sweats he broke out in. He became more and more panicked. In the end, he was sweating profusely. He hesitated for a long time before uttering, "Your Highness, please calm down. Your Highness is here to help you."

If everything Prince Zhao said was true, there would be rivers of blood again!
