Chapter 689： Poison that corrodes the spine!

Chapter 689 Poison that corrodes the spine!

Li Laosi didn’t want to hide anything, so he said: “Second brother, Mr. Wen, something did happen.

"When I was training with my soldiers this morning, a soldier named Chen He died suddenly. But the training was the same as usual, there was no difference.

"The Marquis took charge of the investigation and didn't find many clues. It's just that Chen He brought a strange cigarette pole and a jade box. He usually took a fancy to these two things, and no one else could touch them. He was the only one who secretly toyed with them.

"But recently, his temperament suddenly changed. He was making noises about not being able to leave the camp. He would occasionally hit the wall and roll around on the ground, like a maniac. As a result, he died suddenly while training with the brigade today.

“Someone came to their family, and they insisted that it was my rough training that killed Chen He. Mr. Hou came out to scare him and promised to investigate to the end.

“The Chen family took Chen He’s body away, but I felt something was wrong no matter how much I thought about it, so I came home to ask if I had been negligent.

“Second brother, Mr. Wen, please help me think about it!”

Mr. Wen just frowned, but Li Laoer's eyes were so bright that it was scary.

Everyone looked at him strangely, so he calmly took out a jade box from his arms and asked, "Fourth, look at this jade box, does it look familiar?"

Li Laosi took a closer look and jumped up.

“Oh, second brother, why do you also have this jade box?!”

Li Laoer glanced at the door and asked Shui Ling to guard it.

Li Laoer then said: "Didn't the eldest princess instigate the third princess to rob Fu Niuer's snack shop?

“I always feel that the Princess Mansion is not willing to come over and over again to plan for a shop, knowing that the Marquis and the Emperor are backing Fu Niuer.

“Unless the eldest princess’s palace is too short of money, it is completely an empty shell of wealth, so I asked people to inquire more.

“Everyone in the eldest princess’s mansion is normal. Only the eldest princess’s son often goes to one place and spends money like water. That place is called Yaochi, which is heavily guarded and very mysterious.

“Today I asked Zheng Sanjiang to investigate and found out that the people inside spent money like water and smoked long cigarette sticks that looked like crazy people. The things they used were taken out of this jade box.

“He also went through a lot of trouble to get one and brought it out to me. I wanted to wait until tomorrow to show it to Doctor Zhang, but I didn’t expect the fourth child to come back. What a coincidence.”

Mr. Wen squinted his eyes.

He has been around the court for the longest time, and he comes from a noble family. He is more sensitive to plots and fights than the Li family.

He waved his hand to signal the Li brothers to calm down, and then asked a few questions carefully, and his expression became even worse when he heard the answers.

He sighed and said: "It seems that the fourth child guessed well. There is indeed someone behind this matter."

Li Laoer and Li Laosi didn’t react for a while, but Good News said: “The second uncle said that this thing is from Xiaojin Cave, and it is mainly bought by young men from aristocratic families and young officials.

“And the soldiers under my father are all descendants of aristocratic families!”

 Li Laoer and Li Laosi seemed to have been slapped in the face. Their confused minds were suddenly clear, but they were also buzzing with shock.

No wonder people died in the military camp!

It turned out to be the Li family, the Marquis, and because of the recruitment of troops, their financial path was cut off!

People expected to get money out of the pockets of these children of aristocratic families and wealthy young masters, but as a result, all their "silver ingots" walking around were imprisoned in the military camp with a draft of conscription!

If the guess is correct, the next step for the person behind this is to incite various families to cause trouble.

Strive to release all the young masters from the military camp, and Yaochi will naturally have a lot of money!

I just don’t know who the person behind Yaochi is, and his plan is so big? !

Even, for the sake of money, want to disturb the military camp? ! Li Laosi was a little anxious, "In a moment, I will send someone to report to the Marquis. This matter is not trivial. If the people behind the plot succeed, the recruits disperse, and the Marquis's prestige is ruined, I will also be charged with the murderer." !”

Li Laoer also said: "I also asked people to investigate the details of Yaochi. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we deal with it better."

Li Laosi got up and looked for paper and pen to write a few words to Mr. Hou.

As a result, Jiayin didn't know when she got the jade box, and even dug out a little paste and looked at it carefully.

Li Laoer was startled and quickly grabbed the box for fear of hurting his niece.

He said anxiously: "You girl, you haven't figured out what this thing is, why do you do it randomly? What if it's poison!"

Jiayin looks very bad, his eyes are full of anger!

Because the thing in this box is opium!

Or more vividly, poppy paste!

In her previous life, this thing almost caused the five-thousand-year-old civilization to be completely destroyed!

It is an existence that is more powerful than strong ships and cannons. It can corrode the backbone of a nation silently!

Even before she came to this world, there were countless people who risked their lives and struggled on the borders of their motherland, sleeping in the open air, just to keep this vicious thing out of the border.

Speaking of which, she could clearly recognize this thing and benefited from the school’s annual publicity and education.

At that time, I recited relevant knowledge, and every time I took an exam, the first place would be given a beautiful notebook.

For this beautiful book, she has to take first place every time!

Unexpectedly, in another world, she would actually see the real thing!

"Second uncle is right, this is poison!" Jiayin looked at Li Laoer who was wiping her hands and said, "This is a slow poison and the most powerful poison in the world!"

“Do you know this thing?” Mr. Wen and Mr. Li asked simultaneously.

Lao Li wiped the handkerchief harder and harder.

Jiayin hesitated for a moment. She really couldn't explain the source of the news.

All I could say was, "I've heard of this thing. It should be called hibiscus paste. It's a beautiful flower that withers and produces round gourds as big as walnuts. Use a knife to cut a small hole, and white slurry will flow out. It will turn into a paste like this after it is semi-dry.

“This kind of ointment can also be regarded as a kind of medicine. A little bit can treat dysentery, relieve pain, and even treat burns after being boiled.

“But if you roll this paste into strips or balls, put it on the fire to roast until soft, stuff it into a pipe pot, and continue to roast it, a kind of smoke will be produced.

“Some people who smoke this kind of smoke will feel ecstasy and feel omnipotent.

“For example, if this person wants to marry a princess, after taking it, he will have hallucinations. He will marry the princess as his consort, and the wedding will be filled with flowers and candles, until the hallucination disappears.

“This stuff is extremely addictive. If you don’t take it for a long time, your whole body will become weak, your limbs will ache, and you will feel as painful as thousands of ants eating your heart.

“In order to get some hibiscus ointment, this person will kill his parents and sell his wife and children. There is no morality at all.

"But if you take it for a long time, in just three to five years, a strong man will become like a withered stick, his bones will be broken, his face will be pale, and he will look like an evil ghost. Not to mention going into battle to kill the enemy, he will not be able to walk!"
