Chapter 693： seeing is believing

Chapter 693 Hearing is false, seeing is believing!

After waiting for an hour, the emperor threw down the chess pieces, stretched himself, and asked the Marquis.

“Cousin, does this hibiscus ointment really have such a terrifying effect? ​​Are you too nervous?

"You must know that there has been a kind of Wu Shi Powder since ancient times. It should be the same as this hibiscus ointment, but it has some psychedelic effects."

The Marquis shook his head, "Your Majesty, Wushi Powder can also make people crazy, not just psychedelic, but just stop taking it!

“This hibiscus ointment is addictive!

“I got the news last night, so I took people to Yaochi to investigate, and saw with my own eyes no less than a hundred children of aristocratic families and young officials coming in and out of Yaochi, and it seemed like they were doing this almost every day.

“One person probably didn’t bring enough money, and Yaochi refused to let him in. The man knelt down at that time, and finally took the initiative to pledge his seal.

“It can be said that in order to enter Yaochi and inhale this hibiscus paste, those people have abandoned all dignity and reason..."

The emperor frowned and wanted to say something else, but Manager Yi suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Marquis, it's begun!"

The emperor and the Marquis immediately got down and got to the front of the office.

It is said to be a mechanism, but it is actually a small dark window that can clearly see the house opposite, but the house opposite will not notice anyone here easily.

At this moment, Master Bao, who was sitting and waiting, had already started to yawn one after another, his nose and tears kept flowing, and he couldn't even wipe it with a handkerchief.

His servant looked anxiously. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, hold on, this is the palace and it is not good for others to see you."

Mr. Bao obviously wanted to persist, but his body refused to obey him. Soon he was piled up and slid from the chair to the ground.

"Quickly, go burn the cigarette and give me a puff!" He endured the trembling and twitching, and desperately pulled on the boy's clothes and ordered.

The boy was frightened to death and looked out the door hesitantly.

This is a royal palace, and people can come at any time.

The master was caught smoking here and was punished. He would not be able to survive when he returned to the princess's mansion.

But Mr. Bao couldn't hold on any longer. He lay on the ground and huddled up, trembling even more.

“Quick, please, let me take a puff, quick! Just one puff!”

A master begged his slaves like a dog.

The servant was frightened. He knelt down beside his master and whispered: "Sir, this is the palace. What should I do if I am discovered? The emperor is in the room next to him. That is the emperor!"

"Give me a puff!" Mr. Bao seemed to be going crazy. He pulled **** his clothes and tried to hit the sandalwood chair nearby. He roared in a low voice, "Don't worry about the emperor. Quick, pump it for me, pump it for me." ! I'm going to die, quickly!"

The boy had no other choice, so he quickly took out a small lamp and a fire holder from his arms, and then took out a long cigarette rod and a jade box from his sleeves. He quickly dug out the ointment and roasted it over the fire...

After a while, the cigarette rod was finally delivered to Mr. Bao.

He tried his best to control his trembling hands, brought the cigarette rod to his mouth, took a deep breath, then became quiet, rolled his eyes and opened his mouth, with a weird smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

After a few breaths, he took another deep breath, and this time his expression became much calmer...

In the next room, the emperor retreated silently.

Manager Yi carefully opened the dark window and lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor's livid face.

After a long time, the emperor took off the gold medal from his waist and said, "Cousin, I will leave this matter to you for thorough investigation. Anyone involved will be dismissed from office, confiscated, and exiled. No one will be spared."

"This vicious thing must be eradicated from Tianwu!"

The Marquis knelt down on one knee, received the gold medal, and responded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best."

The emperor helped the Marquis and sat back on the low couch, still somewhat unable to recover.

“Cousin, when I asked the sons of aristocratic families to join the army, I made a mistake and made a clever move. Otherwise, if things go on like this, all the men of Tianwu will be destroyed.

"The dog slave next door knew that this was the palace and knew that I would summon him at any time, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of smoking. It really frightened me. "If the generals at the border are addicted to smoking, if the court Senior member...the consequences are simply unimaginable! "

The Marquis nodded, but still advised: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and not many people are addicted to this kind of smoking yet!

“We must closely monitor Yaochi, get the list of people entering and exiting, find the people behind it, and eliminate it from the source.

“Of course, if there are people involved, there may be more conspiracy behind it. It cannot be found out in a day or two, and more patience is needed.”

The emperor frowned, he really didn’t want to believe that Tianwu was going to be attacked from both sides...

"If you need manpower, you can mobilize the secret guards and make sure to find out."

The marquis agreed, said a few more words, and left the palace secretly.

Subsequently, Mr. Bao in the next room finally met the emperor.

He went through great troubles to praise the golden birdcage, and finally got some things as a reward from the emperor, and went back to the princess's mansion proudly.

The eldest princess wished she had her feet nailed to the door and was looking forward to her son's return.

Finally looking forward to her son's arrival home, her heart returned to her stomach when she saw him with his chin raised and a smile on his face.

Mr. Bao described in great detail how the emperor praised him and how he rewarded him.

The eldest princess was also satisfied and honored.

Finally, Mr. Bao picked out a jade pendant among the rewards, threw the rest to his mother, and was about to go back to rest.

The eldest princess endured it again and again, but still asked in a low voice, "You are not sick in the palace, are you?"

Mr. Bao understood this, but he didn't dare to tell the truth. He immediately responded: "Don't worry, mother, the emperor has summoned me, so I don't dare to delay.

"Everything went well. The emperor said he would call me to appraise the treasure next time."

The eldest princess was completely relieved, so she let her son go back, and then happily picked up the reward...

In the yard of Li’s family in Broken Gold Beach, Li Laosi was suspended from his job and was thinking about his past behind closed doors, waiting for news of the investigation results.

also followed Li Laosi home, and everyone knew about it.

Li Laosi felt very guilty. He knelt in front of his mother and kowtowed, saying, "Mother, I have made you worry again. My son is unfilial!"

Old Mrs. Li picked up her son and asked: "Fourth son, tell your mother, does the death of that soldier have anything to do with you? Was it you who killed him?"

“No, mother! It has nothing to do with me at all!” Li Laosi responded quickly.

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and wiped the dust off her son's knees, "Then why are you kneeling! My mother's son has been wronged and wronged, and she only helped to vent her anger, how could she blame him!

“Just remember, at any time, as long as you do nothing wrong, as long as you can live up to your conscience, you don’t have to bow to anyone!”

“Mom, I listen to you!” Li Laosi choked and nodded heavily.

From the moment Chen He died suddenly, whether in the military camp or in front of outsiders, he never defended himself. This does not mean that he was not aggrieved.

And his grievances can only be seen by my mother!

In front of his wife and daughter, he is like a mountain standing tall in the sky and on the earth.

In front of his brother, he is a fighting partner.

Only in front of his mother can he be a wronged child!
