Jia Hu, a fan of wealth in the Red Chamber

"Snapped"!When Wang Hui heard the report from his subordinates, he was so angry that he dropped the teacup in his hand, "A bunch of trash!"

As an official of the court, he knows better than anyone else the court's attitude towards drugs, or opium. After the old sage made a decree, he sent envoys specially to ensure that along the coast of Daqi, as long as there are inhabited villages and towns, Put up notices, let alone those court officials like them.

It’s just that the people in Daqi have never really seen what opioid addiction looks like after all. They all know that opioids harm people, but they have no concept of what kind of harm it can cause.

What's more, knowing that the imperial court banned this, he wanted to try it out, otherwise, his Chunfeng Tower would not be able to do this business.

The profit of this opium business is really too tempting. Moreover, this kind of thing, when it is critical, can be used to control others for his use. How can he be willing to let it go?

It's good now, he has a hunch that this matter, I'm afraid it won't be good.

Wang Hui only felt that the lawsuit was on his mind, and he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, so he could only wander around the lobby of the prefect's yamen, and several staff members were also helpless.

At this time, another servant rushed to report, "My lord, someone who claimed to be King Zhongyong and Mr. Jia broke in outside the door."

Wang Hui stopped in his tracks and exclaimed, "So fast?"

"Is it fast? I think it's too slow." Wei Jiang heard this sentence as soon as he entered the door, and he replied casually.

Wang Hui suppressed the panic in his heart, looked up, and found that all the officials in the yamen had bruised noses and swollen faces, and it was almost impossible to tell who was who.

"My lord, we can't stop it." An officer covered his right eye that was beaten blue, and said with a mournful face.

Wang Hui was stunned. Although he had a premonition after what happened this morning that this matter would be difficult to deal with, he never expected that the speed would be so fast.

Knowing that the general situation is over, the half-life of his own camp has been for naught in a blink of an eye.

In an instant, Mr. Wang, who was well maintained, looked slumped, as if he had aged ten years.

However, within a day, the situation in Yangzhou's officialdom was changing. The magistrate Wang Hui was sent to prison to search his home, and none of the subordinates could escape.

At the same time, Lin Hai, the patrol censor of Yangzhou, was ordered to act as the magistrate of Yangzhou temporarily, and handle government affairs before the magistrate of Yangzhou officially appointed by the imperial court took office.

The same treatment as Wang Hui, and the group of salt merchants who fantasized to control Jia Hu and Wei Jiang, and then control Yuanfeng Trading Company, these people are really daring, they actually stretched their hands on these two evil stars, It really complied with that sentence, if you don't die, you won't die.

Not to mention far away, just now, all the people who participated in the banquet that day counted as one, and none of them ran away.

Confiscation of family property is a minor matter. Either he is smoking opioids, or his family members and servants are smoking opium. How could Jia Hu be polite to such people?Catch them all.If he hadn't changed from the society ruled by law in his previous life, with his temper, he would have killed all these people long ago, so as not to waste rice.

However, the people were not killed, but he had people build several durable cages with refined iron, locked these opium addicts in, and placed them on the busiest street in Yangzhou City, the most eye-catching place, public exhibition.

This is a warning and a shock.

The turmoil in Yangzhou soon spread to the capital, and it exploded like a drop of water falling into a pan of boiling oil.

Wang Hui also has connections, a serious Jinshi background, classmates, fellow villagers, etc., not too many, not to mention, he has some distant relatives with the Jinling Wang family.

A censor made a statement on this matter, impeaching Jia Hu, saying that he committed the following crimes (Jia Hu is only a bachelor of the Imperial Academy of the fifth rank, and Wang Hui is the magistrate of Yangzhou, and he is the fourth rank.) The means are cruel, and this move is even more serious. It is suspected of corrupting the status of Daqi officials in the hearts of the people.Anyway, how serious it is.

Shen Tuqian didn't want to pay attention to these people's intentions at all, and all the reports of impeachment against Jia Hu were left unpublished. Who knew that when other people saw this situation, they immediately jumped up and down as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.The accusations of Jia Hu's impeachment flew to Shen Tuqian's case like a snowflake.

How can Lord Shen and Mr. Yang, who are so protective, watch their little disciples being bullied?It is not uncommon to have several fights with these people every day, and it is not uncommon for them to tear each other.

When the time was almost up, Shen Tuqian's intention to deal with the drug case in Yangzhou City was finally finalized.Knowing that Wang Hui violated the law, he was dismissed from office and sentenced to death.When this decree was announced, the whole court was in an uproar. In the view of these people, they were just smoking some opioids.I heard that some aristocratic families in the south are proud of taking this food, but why can't they do it when they arrive in Daqi?

Who didn't expect that this time, such a heavy hand would be dealt with now?

There is only one life.

Many people can't figure it out, it's just some opioids, as for?As a result, many censors started their daily routine of persuasion. Shentu Qian was so annoyed that he finally issued an imperial decree. Anyone who is addicted to opioids will be given a three-month deadline. It is easy to quit everything, three months In the end, those who could not get rid of their drug addiction would have their property confiscated and exiled to the islands.

If it is an official or an official's family member who takes drugs and does not quit for three months, just one word: behead!If it is an official who takes drugs and buys and sells opioids, two more words should be added: ransack the house, ask for execution!

There is a censor who refuses to accept it, and he is still waiting for the table. Shen Tuqian is so annoyed by these people, how to intercede for those damned people?Did you take advantage of others?Therefore, one more thing is added, if the interceding person has the above-mentioned performance, he will be punished as the same crime!

Thus, fourth brother Shentu's ears were finally clean.Just kidding, all he has the strength to wrestle with the courtiers depends on Jia Hu giving him money. Impeach Jia Xiaohu?Is this going to cut off his money?

Longmu glanced at the censor who was giving a speech in the hall, um, this person seems to be from a certain big family?Are these people really jealous that he made a lot of money?Shen Tuqian decisively limited the conspiracy theory.

The papers of impeachment were dismissed, and the person who made the most trouble was found an excuse and the official was sacked.Then let their carefully trained "insiders" take over the positions of those people, Shen Tuqian looked at the civil and military ministers in two shifts with satisfaction, the atmosphere has really improved, not bad!

Next, it is the question of who will be the magistrate of Yangzhou. The fourth brother Shentu said that this is all trivial.

Of course, the ups and downs in the capital and Yangzhou have nothing to do with Jia Hu and Prince Wei for the time being.After the two of them disturbed the water in Yangzhou City, they pulled away in time, patted their buttocks, and continued the game they had just started, which had been interrupted.

Lin Hai was even busier.Hitting the back of the head with your feet is nothing.At the time of the reform of the new salt policy, he, the inspector of the salt censor, was already so busy that he didn't even have time to go home. In the end, he had to take over the hot potato like Yangzhou. Lin Hai was miserable.

On February [-]th, the Huachao Festival, which is also Lin Daiyu's first birthday, on this day, Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi Mansion parked more than a dozen luxury, grand, or exquisite blessing cars early in the morning, and the people who got out of the car They are all prominent figures in Yangzhou City.

Previously, Lin Hai didn't want to host Daiyu's first birthday party, he just wanted to invite relatives, friends, and colleagues with better ties.After all, Lin Daiyu is still so young, what if the child is too lucky to bear it?

As a result, once the situation changed, he temporarily acted as the magistrate of Yangzhou, so that these big figures who were mixed in various circles understood what it meant to be "Jane in the Emperor's Heart"? !

Those who were invited came, and those who were not invited also came, and the unprepared Lin Mansion was in a mess.

On the twelfth day, it was a rare sunny day. Early in the morning, Wei Jiang took Jia Hu to the yard, and the two chatted while basking in the sun.

Jia Hu half-closed his eyes, leaned on the soft couch, enjoying himself, "It's better to be in the sun! If I don't let it dry out, my whole body will be moldy."

Shang Qing came in with an exquisite octagonal staggered gold peony and cloud pattern red lacquer box, "Master, the pearl farm has started to harvest this year. It's just the first stubble. Let's have a look first."

Jia Hu was staring at the lacquer box in Shang Qing's hand, his saliva almost didn't flow down, his expression was really like an evil spirit seeing a naked beauty.Seeing Shang Qing's cold war again and again.Although the object of their uncle's drooling is not them.

In Jia Hu's eyes, this lacquer box is much more valuable than the pearls in it!How much would such a box be worth in future generations?

Jia Xiaohu began to think in her heart, but forgot to react for a while.

Wei Jiang took the box from Shang Qing's hand, and when he opened it, he was immediately overwhelmed by the jewels in front of him, but he saw that the box was full of round pearls, each of which was the size of a thumb, round and full of treasures, White, gold, pink, and even the extremely rare black.

Even though he is the eldest son of Princess Daqi and the newly appointed King Zhongyong, he has never seen more complete pearls of so many colors and types than here.

"This... this... these... are all 'planted'?"

Although Wei Jiang would trust their younger brother wholeheartedly, he never thought that artificially cultured pearls would be able to do so well.

Jia Hu grabbed a handful, held it in front of her and looked at it, "The effect is really good, but it's still far worse than pure natural pearls."

"That's true, but natural pearls are extremely rare, not to mention pearls with so many colors and such plumpness? It was me who was almost dazzled when I saw it for the first time, let alone others. "

Jia Hu was proud, "If it wasn't for good things, would I be able to work so hard?"

Wei Jiang said with a smile, "That's right." With Brother Hu's temperament, how could something that can't make money fall into the eyes of his old man?

"Hey, don't think I don't know what you're thinking? You don't know what you're thinking? I've said it all. When you want to whisper something, it's best to close the doors and windows tightly, lest others be forced to listen to a piece of someone's house. Chaos is coming."

"Hahahaha." Wei Shizi couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud.

Jia Hu was helpless, she rolled her eyes to the sky, why is it so difficult to be a human being?
