Yinzhen and Yinzhen looked at each other in blank dismay, their curiosity became more and more serious.Taking advantage of his young age, Yinzhen slightly raised his head and looked at the second brother: "What does this little second brother mean? Crying ghosts and howling? Could it be that there is a fight inside?"

Seeing this handsome young master with a smile on his face, who looks like a boy in the portrait, looking at him, Xiaoer's energy is getting more and more energetic.

He shook his head mysteriously.

Xiaoer lowered his voice: "This sound is different from a fight! What's more, there are not only such yells, but also shamans, monks and priests in Tongjia's mansion these days. The most famous witch outside the capital has also been invited!"

"Ah—?" Yinzhen and Yinzhen exclaimed in surprise.

No wonder everyone in the capital is talking about it.

It's okay, who would invite the witch to the mansion?You must know that the sorceress is doing exorcism and psychic work!Especially people with great reputations like what Xiao Er said, they all have names and surnames within a hundred miles.

Tong Jia's mansion can ask these witches.

So what's the big deal?Just when Yinzhen and Yinzhen hadn't sorted out the messy thoughts in their minds, Xiaoer continued to say: "I heard from the vendor who delivered things to Tong Jia's mansion that it was Tong Jia's third master who was crazy." Already!"

Yinzhen and Yinzhen opened their eyes wide.

They were shocked at the same time: "Huh?"

Third Master?Longkodo?Is Longkodo crazy?

Yinzhen and Yinzhen looked at each other, there was no mood to eat.They didn't care about the dishes they ordered, they threw a silver ingot on the table, and rushed out in a hurry.

Even though they were sitting in the carriage, even though they were two or three alleys away from Tong Jia's mansion, Yinzhen and Yinzhen had already heard that strange cry, one after another.

If the sound was still coming out in the middle of the night, it would be no wonder that it made a group of ordinary people panic.

"Go in?"

"Go in and have a look!" Yinzhen nodded.

Since the incidents in Tong Jia's mansion broke out one after another, Tong Huang Guifei said that she didn't care, but she was still very sad.It is natural for Yinzhen to decide to take a good look at what happened. How could Longkodo spread the news of his madness?

And the palace has not received any news yet?

Did Tong Jiafu deliberately conceal it, or did Tong Jiafu deliberately act in order to win the sympathy of the emperor and Tong Huangguifei?Yinzhen got off the carriage and waved to the two guards to knock on the door.

The concierge of Tong Jia's mansion had two big dark circles on his face. He yawned a lot and dozed off under the eaves.

Since the second wife cut off the third master's money and locked the third master in the house...the whole house has never had a leisurely life.

It makes people miss the days when the eldest wife was in charge of the house!Just when the porter was drowsy, two beeps on the door woke him up.

"Who is it... ah!" The concierge was still a little angry, and looked out with a cold face.This glanced at the few masters outside, and suddenly his mind cleared up.

As a concierge, he always winked.

Not to mention the tall and burly men dressed as entourages, even the two young masters surrounded in the middle are also imposing, and they are wearing even more fashionable satin - they were rewarded to Tong Jia's mansion in previous years. There are no rewards this year.

Those who can wear satin are all the top nobles of the Eight Banners, the family members of important ministers, the family members of concubines...or princes!

How dare the concierge keep a straight face?

He immediately pushed open the door with a big smile on his face, welcomed the group in, and walked towards the main house.

The steward who came to greet him didn't know the ninth elder brother, but he knew the fourth elder brother Yinzhen!With a jump in his eyebrows, he hurriedly sent away the fawning concierge: "Young one, send greetings to the fourth elder brother, and to..."

"Ninth elder brother."

"My little one, please greet Brother Nine!" Hearing that it was Brother Nine who was loved by both the Emperor and His Royal Highness, the manager's expression became more and more serious.

While winking, he told the servants to hurry to invite the eldest young master of the uncle's house to receive the guests, while respectfully welcoming the two elder brothers into the flower hall.

Sitting in the flower hall, the screaming became more and more shrill and loud. Seeing the calm faces of the servants and stewards around her, Yinzhen simply asked, "Who is this screaming? Is it really Long Kedo?"

"Reporting to Brother Nine, he is the servant's third uncle." It was Tong Jiashun Anyan who hurried through the door who answered.

Shun Anyan is 12 years old this year.

He is Ye Keshu's eldest son, and he is studying at the Eight Banners School. He is not close to the two elder brothers.

Originally, he was wondering why the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother came, but he immediately woke up after hearing this question.Of course, what came to Shun Anyan's heart after a sudden realization was shame.

After a series of incidents in Tong Jia's mansion, Shun Anyan, who used to think that his friends and confidants were all over the world, has also seen clearly the attitudes of many people around him, and understands what is the cruelty of the world.

Without the self-conceit and arrogance of the past, Shun Anyan has been very serious in studying and practicing martial arts for more than a year, and has also put in [-]% effort in new subjects.

It's just that before he could get any more proud, Er Niang was taken away from the house, and then his third uncle Long Kedo went mad again, and the haze in Shun Anyan's heart piled up again.

Yinzhen and Yinzhen looked up.

I saw that Shun Anyan's eyes were also thickly black and blue, obviously he hadn't rested for a long time.

He knelt down on one knee to greet the two older brothers.

As soon as the call was made, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen immediately got to the point: "Ben elder brother heard that Long Kedo is insane?"

Shun Anyan was silent for a moment.

He replied frankly and directly: "Reporting to fourth elder brother...Third Uncle doesn't know what's wrong, he started making troubles four days ago until today, and he's crazy, but every doctor said he didn't get sick."

"Have you invited a doctor?"

"This... Second Aunt probably didn't invite you." Shun Anyan shook her head.

Yinzhen frowned.

While sending people to invite the imperial physician, he took Yinzhen to the backyard.

The closer it was to Longkodo's courtyard, the more shrill and cruel the sound became.

Yinzhen and Yinzhen's hearts beat like thunder.

With this creepy scream, who can sleep?

They hurried into the courtyard with strides.

The courtyard was filled with smoke, and the thick, pungent sandalwood enveloped the entire courtyard.In the center is a wooden couch, on which Longkodo is tied, and the wooden couch is surrounded by altars and large copper incense burners.

Yinzhen: ...

This is not afraid of burning?Seeing the splashed incense ash falling on Longkodo's body, and hearing that miserable and powerless cry, Yinzhen felt a little bit like this cry...it seemed like he was scalded?

At this moment a bell rang.

Yinzhen and Yinzhen looked up again: what appeared in front of them was a witch with half-opened and half-closed triangular eyes, a black mole on her mouth, and thin and gray hair. She rang the bell and muttered .

I didn't see any bones of immortality.

The copper bells swayed, singing and dancing danced, and the sorceress put on a mask and sang songs surrounded by a group of followers.The weird voice and dance made Yinzhen and Yinzhen stunned for a while, but they didn't make the servants in the yard cast any eyes.

They are completely numb.

Yinzhen regained consciousness and glanced at the people in the courtyard, there were no young maids here, all of them were servants in charge.Even so, they were covered in bruises, and the most serious ones were even limping while doing things.

Yinzhen tugged on Yinzhen's sleeve.

This scene made the hearts of the two of them sink even more. How serious was it that Tong Jia's people had to be replaced by servants, and all of them were injured?

"It can't be rabies...hydrophobia...?" Yinzhen whispered.

Shun Anyan shook her head: "Third Uncle is neither afraid of wind nor water, nor does he have symptoms of photophobia."

Eliminating this answer made the two of them even more suspicious.

The dance of the sorceress continues.

As her dance came to an end, Longkodo's cry gradually slowed down, which brought joy to the battered Tara's face.

She stepped forward in three steps and two steps.

His Tara's head looked overjoyed at Longkodo: "But it has an effect?"

The sorceress looked smug.

She followed Tara's side closely, reaching out to caress Long Kedo: "Second wife, don't worry—ah!"

Long Kedo, who seemed to have calmed down before, violently violently bit the finger of the sorceress, and directly bit off the finger amidst her screams.

Yinzhen and Yinzhen's hair exploded all over.

They stared at Longkodo in horror, only to feel that the hairs on their bodies stood on end!

"This is crazy!"

"Quick—tie him up!" cried Tarras.

Longkodo broke free from the rope.

He pushed the sorceress to the ground and roared at him, "Smoke, my smoke!!!"

Tala's whole body was paralyzed on the ground.

She looked at Longkodo who was approaching every step of the way in horror, and screamed: "Give it to him, give it to him!"

A group of servants rushed forward.

Not long after, Longkoduo's familiar hookah was carefully handed over to him by a steward: "Third Master! Third Master, your cigarette! Here comes the smoke."

Yinzhen and Yinzhen were shocked to see Longkodo's expression change from distorted to peaceful.All his thoughts were focused on the water pipe, and he grabbed it immediately and took a deep breath.

This action and reaction gave Yinzhen an ominous premonition.Before he could get this ominous thought out of his heart with a frown, he saw Longkodo's entire face contorted again: "It's not! It's not! It's not!"

The steward backed away in fright.

With a face full of horror, he sat down on the ground: "Third Master!!! This is your hookah!"

Longkodo slammed the hookah on the ground.

He stepped on it and crushed it vigorously, roaring again: "My smoke!"

As soon as he grabbed Tara's neckline, she rolled her eyes and cried endlessly: "Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me!"

This kind of trivial matter does not need Yinzhen to take action.

The guards behind the two of them moved quickly, kicking their feet forward and hitting Longkodo on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious.

He Talashi was in a panic.

She lost all face in Tong Jia's mansion because of Longkodo's affairs, and she still wants the new official to take office?Her steward met Waterloo at the very beginning!Hit the beginning of hell!

Facing the fourth elder brother and ninth elder brother, as well as Shun Anyan from his sister-in-law's family, Talashi could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

She managed to straighten her temple hair, and gave a blessing bow with a sad face: "The servant greets the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother. It's because the servant's dereliction of duty made the two elder brothers dirty their eyes..."

"How can this matter be blamed on Madam." Fourth elder brother Yinzhen said lightly.He ordered people to drag down the trembling sorceress, and then turned to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen walked up to Long Kedo who was fainted on the ground.He frowned tightly, rubbing his chin thoughtfully: [Everything... he just said cigarettes?It's not what I thought it was, is it? ]

The look of madness, the desire for a hookah.

All made Yinzhen feel a lingering suspicion.

System Shushu was a little confused: [The host means opium?But historically speaking... it will take at least another hundred years before there will be large-scale smuggling of opium. ]

And now...it's too early!

The system Shushu's question was also Yinzhen's question, he raised his eyes and looked at Ta Lashi: "What exactly is the cigarette block that Longkodo is talking about?"

He, Ta Lashi, had a pale face: "The slaves gave what the third master usually smokes...but...but I didn't expect him to have this kind of reaction."

Yinzhen and Yinzhen frowned at the same time.

Long Kedo's reaction just now is vivid in their minds. He took a sip of the hookah and immediately responded that he said no. This is a big problem.

Yinzhen called the servants and stewards who came to serve in the room and asked them one by one, but they didn't get an answer.

On the contrary, Shun Anyan reminded: "Second Aunt, Nephew remembers that you changed all the people in Third Uncle's house."

Talashi was stunned.

Immediately after she suddenly realized, her complexion turned pale again.

Yinzhen was keenly aware of the change in her expression: "What did Mrs. Tong Jia think of?"

Talashi replied cautiously: "Although I used to have a bad temper and beat the servants and servants, I didn't go crazy... That is, after this, this changed, the next day... Longkodo started to fall ill !"

Could it be that someone in the group of servants tampered with Longkodo?Both Shun Anyan and Ta Lashi didn't look very good-looking.

"No matter what, call someone over to take a look."

"Yes... yes!" Talashi replied.

Nanny Zhou moved quickly.

Without a cup of tea, the servants who used to serve Longkodo were found one by one, along with the account book and the register of the servants when they went out.

Ta Lashi coldly glanced at the servants in the yard.

She shouted sharply: "Say—! Who dares to kill the third master?"

A group of servants and stewards were scared out of their wits.

They fell to their knees and kowtowed one after another: "Second Mistress Mingjian! Second Mistress Mingjian! How can a small/slave have the guts to poison the Third Master? Please Second Mistress Mingjian!"

"You still want to quibble? Since you left, the third master's illness has become more and more serious, and he also said that he didn't want the cigarettes! Did you do something in the cigarettes? You didn't give me everything. Fujin recruited?"

All the servants and stewards were stunned.

The original chief steward in Longkodo's courtyard asked cautiously: "Cigarette...? Is it from the hookah used by the third master...?"

Yinzhen's eyes were fixed on the steward.

He, Ta Lashi, was even more pleasantly surprised, and immediately glared at him angrily: "You are so honest! Thanks to Tong Jiashi, who treats your family well, you dare to kill the master!"

Xu Laoshi waved his hands again and again: "I'm wronged!"

He pointed to the servants in charge around him: "If the third master smoked cigarettes, we would have bought them! It was the third master who ordered the children to buy them!"

"...The little ones have been there too."

"Small ones too."

Sure enough, it was exactly as Xu Laoshi said.

The stewards and servants around responded one after another, and this scene inevitably made Yinzhen and his party deeply unbelievable.

Cigarettes are bought from outside.

As for where they bought it from, the servants in charge looked all over the place.

Under the pressure of everyone, they said hesitantly: "...the small one, the small one was bought from Nansan Hutong!"

"...South San Hutong!" Yinzhen, Shun Anyan and Ta Lashi exclaimed at the same time.

On the contrary, a series of question marks popped up on Yinzhen's forehead.

He looked at the stern-faced fourth brother suspiciously, and then at Ta Lashi, who was disgusted, and asked curiously, "Where is Nansan Hutong?"

Yinzhen:……

He stared at Yinzhen blankly, and after a while, he said something: "...it's a place where good boys can't go."

Yinzhen: ...? ? ?

He stared at Yinzhen suspiciously, and said frankly: "Then fourth brother, you are a bad person? Otherwise, how do you know that place is a place where good children can't go-oh!"

clap clap clap!

Yinzhen gave Yinzhen three chestnuts without mercy.

Yinzhen: ...QAQ

He covered his forehead in aggrieved and shocked, but Yinzhen still stared at him and said viciously: "If you dare to sneak into Nansan Hutong, elder brother Ben will tell Ama Khan, the second brother of the prince, and Concubine Yimu to let them take it away from you." Beat until you can't get out of bed!"

Yinzhen: ...

He silently turned his gaze to Shun Anyan: "He also knows." Beat him.

Shun Anyan smiled awkwardly.

Facing the wary eyes of the fourth elder brother, he couldn't stop crying in his heart.Shun Anyan sneered: "I have heard of it, I have heard of it...Really, don't look at me like that, I swear to God that I have never been to QAQ!!!"

the other side.

He was so sick that he was about to throw up.

When she thought that Longkodo was smoking hookah bought from such a filthy place, she felt her stomach tumbling.

He, Ta Lashi, stared coldly at the trembling steward: "You are such a daring dog, how dare you eat such pickled things for me!"

The steward fell to his knees with a plop.

He kowtowed repeatedly with a bitter face: "Second Mistress, spare me! The Third Master forced the little one to buy this!"

"Where does the third master know this..."

"Second Grandma! It's true that it wasn't the third master at the earliest, it was... it was... it was..."

"who is it?"

"It was bought by Miss Li in the past..."

The steward had a sad face.

He dragged a timid little servant out of the crowd, kicked him and turned somersaults: "That's him! He bought it back at Miss Li's orders!"

The little servant trembled with fear.

Facing several pairs of cold gazes, he told the whole story: "Ms. Li asked the little one to buy it back! But that day Miss Li was taken away by Shuntian Mansion! The little one was left in the house, where is it?" Knowing that after half a month, the third master will come to find the little one and ask the little one to buy it for him!"

The servant wept with a mournful face: "Everything you say is true and there is no falsehood! Second Mistress, please enlighten me!"

Talashi was almost speechless.

Why is Li Si'er everywhere?People are dead and still haunted?

Hearing that Li Si'er's name was Yinzhen and Yinzhen also showed a look of disgust.What Li Si'er has met, suffered and done has been reported in detail before everyone.

Although her background is indeed pitiful, and her life is indeed bitter, but her behavior of attacking innocent maids and even Princess Jingying as soon as she flew to the branches is even more infuriating.

At this time, Yinzhen and Yinzhen no longer have any sympathy for Longkodo—according to the manager, Longkodo really has more love, and he has a deep affection for Li Si'er, and he wants to kill Li Si'er even when he dies. The things left by Si'er are regarded as treasures.

Really disgusting.

Of course, the hookah, which was regarded as a treasure, was trampled into pieces by him a quarter of an hour ago, which made the fourth elder brother Yinzhen more and more vigilant about what was in the cigarette he was smoking.

Yinzhen, on the other hand, became more and more sure of what she thought in her heart.

At the same time, Yinzhen ordered the guards to buy the cigarette back with the steward: "Remember, not only do you have to buy it back, but you also have to keep someone watching to find out the source of this cigarette!"

Stewards know the way.

In less than half an hour, the cigarettes were bought back.The cigarette was dark brown, and Yinzhen held it in his hand and smelled it, but there was no smell.

The system Shushu gasped: [The host... this, this, this is opium! ]

Yinzhen shook his hand and almost dropped the opium on the ground.Of course, after he regained his senses, he caught the opium steadily, but in Yinzhen's eyes, it was as if the ninth brother was idle and bored and used the opium as a toy toss and catch.

Yinzhen's face was black.

He took the opium from Yinzhen's hand, and said in a reprimanded tone: "Don't use such pickled things as toys!"

By the way, I would like to remind you: "Wait a while and wash your hands first." So as not to get pickled!

Yinzhen: ...

He watched the fourth brother carefully wrap the opium in paper and put it in the box with a blank face, waiting for the imperial doctor to arrive, and couldn't help touching his nose.

Brother Ben knows a lot more than you!

Sensing Yinzhen's dissatisfied eyes, Yinzhen glanced back at him: "Yinzhen? Didn't my elder brother tell you not to touch it randomly? You still touch your face, so hurry up and wash your face and hands Wash it!"

Yinzhen: ...

Forget it, wash your face and wash your face.Elder brother Ben should be tolerant and tolerant, he lazily responded: "Yes yes yes—"

After Yinzhen washed her dirty face and hands, and applied the fragrant rose milk, the imperial physicians rushed over.

The sleeping Longkodo is easy to play with.

The weird pulse made the imperial doctors very puzzled, and when he woke up Long Keduo, he was irritable and crazy, and the reaction of only cigarettes in his eyes surprised the imperial doctors.

Taiyuan Hospital made Qin Taiyi pick up the cigarettes.

A hint of excitement and greed lit up Longkodo's face, his saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he shouted: "Give me the cigarette... the cigarette... the cigarette... the cigarette..."

Physician Qin carefully observed the opium.

The dark brown appearance, the colorless and tasteless simple appearance, he rubbed a little bit on the tip of his tongue, and then his brows frowned.

Imperial Physician Qin asked in disbelief, "Isn't this A Furong?"

"Doctor Qin knows about this thing?"

"A hibiscus is effective in relieving pain by constricting the lungs and astringing the intestines. It is one of the commonly used medicines, but it is usually used for pain relief. I have never seen anyone use it to make cigarettes for smoking."

And look at Longkodo's reaction.

Could this drug be addictive?Doctor Qin, who heard about this for the first time, had a solemn face. After carefully looking at the opium for a while, he raised his eyes and stared at Long Keduo for a long time.

Finally he made up his mind.

Qin imperial physician cupped his hands and said to Yinzhen and Yinzhen: "fourth elder brother, ninth elder brother, drug addiction is very important. I think we should send Mr. Longkodo to Tai Hospital to check the reaction and source. If it is confirmed that it is drug The problem caused needs to be reported to the emperor immediately!"

After a pause, Imperial Physician Qin added: "A lotus is brightly colored, and many people in the capital like to plant it for ornamental use. Many cooks and teahouses also like to use the seeds of a lotus to add freshness to their dishes. If A lotus can really It's addictive, and a situation like Master Longkodo's appears...the consequences...I'm afraid it's unimaginable!"

Qin Taiyi's words immediately shocked Yinzhen.

Yinzhen already knew about it, seeing that Doctor Qin expressed a similar idea, he immediately showed a satisfied smile.

He shut up.

Yinzhen decided to take a look at Imperial Physician Qin's plan before making a decision. He looked at the serious and upright Physician Qin and was satisfied: [It seems that it will be really useful to ask Imperial Physician Qin and others to write medical textbooks to train doctors. ]

Perhaps if things go on like this, the goal of opening medical centers and hospitals in various parts of the Qing Dynasty is close at hand~
