Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

"Prince, you have to make a decision. The two couples of this historian have become souls killed by swords, and that fake Su Peng has already scratched a face. This is a big deal. If it is found out, Everyone was having fun."

"Prince, Mr. Liang is right. This matter is a big mess. This fake Su Peng is a bold one, so we can't keep it. At first we just wanted to make the fake accounts in Shaozhou real, but the result is that First a teacher died, and then even the real Master Su disappeared. No wonder people say that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The people there are not only under our control, but there is no second master behind the scenes. Those county magistrates The trick is still in the hands of this fake Su Peng. He is changing his trick now to prove that he is the real Su Peng. And because of the historian's murder, the emperor will definitely take good care of him, and we have almost no chance to do it. "

"My lord, the situation in Shaozhou is different from that in Jiangnan. It has been a long time in Jiangnan. In addition, Li Ming is dead, and there is no proof of his death. But for the things in Shaozhou now, those county magistrates are still alive. This fake who knows everything Su Peng is also alive, and being alive is the biggest variable. If the emperor is stabbed, even if we have ten heads this time, it will not be enough to chop off."

In a dark room in a prince's mansion, three people were sitting talking about this, and the prince was thinking about something while looking at the picture of wintersweet on the wall with his back to them.

In the dim candlelight, the prince seemed to see a trace of red blood oozing from Lamei, he turned around slowly, and said quietly, "Heh, what else do you have in mind besides finishing the game? Why did you think of looking for me now? You three claim to be my confidantes, so tell me what you are asking me to do! You know what that kind of thing is, and you want me to make a decision. Force me to kill my father!"

The prince wanted to roar, but he could only crush the cup, and let the shards cut his palm. "Don't think about it, I won't do this. He is your emperor and my father."

The three of them looked at each other face to face, and all lowered their heads dejectedly. One of them could only say with a glimmer of hope, "Anyway, Master Su really doesn't know where he died. There shouldn't be any around Shaozhou." Showing off, this time is also a dangerous move by the soldiers, maybe this fake Su Peng deceived us, and we can still live a good life for a few years."

"Yes, yes. The third prince's investigation of this case is mainly aimed at those rogues, as long as it is cleaned up." Another echoed.

The prince seemed to have no strength to talk to these three people, "Go back early, don't think about what you shouldn't think about, father is already at this age, we just have to wait a few more years. It's like making a decision I don't want to hear it a second time."

The three nodded in unison and quietly backed out.When they reached the small door at the back, they all dispersed.

The man called Liang Gong looked back at the Prince's Mansion in a daze for a while. At this moment, he felt that he had chosen the wrong person, but he didn't see the wrong person.The prince is not good in every way, he may be a party or not fair, but he always maintains the final bottom line.It's just that he doesn't know that this bottom line just makes him let go of the person he can't let go when he shouldn't be soft-hearted.If it fails, the prince may just confine him, but what about the people below them. The word 'wait' is sometimes absolutely unacceptable.

So now, let the veteran bear the title of regicide.Since ancient times, when a king loses a bandit, as long as he wins, no one will know about it.Liang Gong took advantage of the night to drive his carriage to the southwest corner of the palace gate. After looking around, a man who looked like a little eunuch took the jade box from Liang Gong's hand, and then disappeared into the night like a fly.

Xue Pan and Xie hurried to Lechang County. Although Xie always disagreed with Xue Pan's risk, he saw that Yin Xi could be brought down by Xue Pan within ten strokes, and Xue Pan entered the deep house compound , as if entering no one's land, in the end he could only sigh with complicated eyes. "Pan'er, I really don't know what to say about you. I want to hide you, and then no one will know what kind of person you are. Since ancient times, martial arts have been banned, and no emperor hopes to have a peerless master. Can easily haunt the palace."

Xue Pan asked instead, "Then fifth brother, do you mind? If one day I appear by your window dressed in black."

Xie was not intimidated by Xue Pan's pretended serious expression, he knew that unless something urgent happened, there would never be such a day, "If Pan'er came from the pillow mat, then I would definitely sweep the couch to welcome her."

Xue Pan stepped on Xun's foot, and he was talking about the topic here, but he was able to bend over there.Then, he looked at his body, this kind of thing should be discussed in a few years. "Fifth brother, you just like to joke. I am a clear-headed person. I entrust you to keep this matter of flying over the wall for me."

"Then I'll wait for you outside the door. If you are discovered, don't delay, just run away—" In the end, Xie could only do this night visit to the county government together with Xue Pan.

Just the two of them didn't drive a carriage, but quietly avoided the watchman and reached the gate of the county government office.Xie watched Xue Pan fly into the wall through the big tree by the wall.

The layout of this county government has already been reflected in Xue Pan's mind.There were quite a few guards who came and went on duty at night, much more people than the average county government mansion. It was past midnight, and except for those guards in the courtyard, everyone else was asleep.

After carefully avoiding several waves of guards, Xue Pan came to the door of the study, and it was locked outside.However, he is a person who has learned lockpicking skills. Why should he learn these low-level skills?After entering the study, according to Zhou Ming's vague narration by the county magistrate's son, Xue Pan searched several places, and could only use the faint moonlight and the night pearl in his hand to illuminate.

After searching a few times, he found a box in a dark compartment in the desk, which should be it.The lock on it is unique, the kind that non-masters can't open.Xue Pan stuffed a piece of copper wire into the keyhole and listened carefully to the sound. It was also strange. Just after turning left and right up and down somehow, there was a faint "click!" in the quiet room! ', the lock is opened.

Xue Pan opened the lid, but it was empty!There seemed to be a layer of white ash in the middle of the box. Xue Pan smelled it, and there was very little powder left, so he shouldn't be able to feel anything.Xue Pan felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar, and this thing was lurking in his memory.Seeing that there is no gain, they can only go back home.He carefully restored everything to its original position and left in a hurry.

"What's the matter, I haven't been found out." When Xie was waiting outside, he was afraid that the government office would be lit up with fire and shouts, and this time seemed like years passed.Xun stayed there minute by minute, even though he didn't move, his heart was really focused on the person inside.Finally, when he saw a familiar figure, his hanging heart calmed down.

Xue Pan shook his head, indicating that he would go back first while walking. "Fifth brother, I found that box, but the contents inside are empty. And only some white powder remains."

"Empty?" Xie felt that this was a bit strange, "Could it be that the things that were put in here are what they have been using all the time?"

Xie and Xue Pan returned to the place where they stayed, but they saw Licorice, who was inquiring for news ahead, finally came back.

"Fifth and Uncle, there is news. Yesterday morning, the medicine store started to buy medicinal materials in large quantities again. Our people followed them all the way, and finally saw the ship where they were picking up the goods at the intersection of Beijiang and Lianjiang. Later, we boarded our own ship, pretended to meet that cargo ship on the river, and found that there were foreigners on it, who seemed to be from England, not Dutch."

"There are foreigners in this place. It's not surprising to say that it's strange, but I haven't heard that there are foreigners who are in the business of medicinal materials. These things are not allowed to enter the country." Xie didn't expect that this case would involve foreigners. Is handing over something.

"Wait, fifth brother, you said just now that foreigners do not have permission to trade medicinal materials." Xue Pan suddenly seemed to have grasped something, "Then you must report to the imperial court for approval first, such as quinine cream."

Xie replied in the affirmative, "Father is very strict in monitoring this aspect. After all, medicines are different from other things, and no one knows what the effects of foreign substances are. What's wrong with Pan'er?"

Xue Pan finally knew where this strange feeling came from, it was actually that kind of thing.Being able to control people's hearts, making people addicted without knowing it, doing crazy things one after another, and later even denying their relatives, and never getting out of this quagmire.The thing that can bring the whole Shaozhou under control is related to foreigners. Isn't this opium!

The feeling of familiarity from seeing that powder was like a nightmare that even the raging fire he had ignited had never been burnt out.That is the devil's stepping stone, once a crack is opened, there will be no peace after that.Xue Pan's hands trembled, and he took half a step back.He can still feel the trembling of his hands when destroying the boxes of opium, because he clearly knows that at that time, far more had flowed into the underground market than had been destroyed.And the souls of the citizens are rotting and dying along with those things.

Has this devil actually appeared in Daqing?The appearance of such concealment has already affected the entire Shaozhou City.

"Pan'er, are you okay?" Xun looked at Xue Pan's pale face instantly, wondering what he had guessed, and quickly supported him, "What did you guess, I don't want you to hide it in my heart alone."

"Fifth brother, have you heard of A Furong? It can be addictive, or violent." Xue Pan asked in a murmur.

Far away in the capital, a young eunuch sneaked out of the imperial dining room, and the jade box on his body was empty.It has been released for ten days in a row, and I don't know when Liang Gong said it was too fast.
