Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 597 Emperor Zhu's Wrath

At this time, Zhu Kezang was about to get off the donkey cart to see why it was so smoky.

Suddenly, a thin man was kicked out in front of him.
He was kicked out by the people in the store, only to hear the leader of the gangster cursed loudly, "Little red guy, you want to smoke Xiaoyao ointment even if you are so poor!"

Xiao Chilao, a dialect in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

In the old days, after the poor died, their families could not afford a coffin, so they were often swept naked with grass and buried hastily. After heavy rain, it was also common for people to leave the corpse in the wild. People walking in the wild came across this corpse as a "red man".

Xiao Chi Lao also means little ghost, and when used to derogate others, it means small sample, little bastard

The skinny man who was kicked out was lying on the ground, hugging the big bastard's thigh, with snot and tears, begging bitterly: "Master Xu, give the villain a sip, just one sip!"

"Climb for me! Little red guy!"

Kicking the man away with a mixed kick, he sneered again and again, "I heard that your little lady looks good, so if you bring your lady here to refresh the brothers, I will let you smoke a few more!"

The thin man lying on the ground begging was not angry after hearing this, but continued to beg, promising to bring his wife tomorrow.

Seeing this, the gangster laughed loudly, and ordered his subordinates: "Hurry up and invite Mr. Li in, let him sell his wife to Yichun Court first, and then give him a few sips of Xiaoyao ointment!"

"okay!"

A few hooligans smiled and carried the man into the tobacco shop.

Seeing that his face was as sinking as water, Zhu Kezang stopped the donkey cart, why did he feel that there was something wrong with this Xiaoyao ointment.

He suspected that it was drugs, just changed the name.

Zhu Kezang scolded in his heart: Mahler Gobi, the imperial court ordered the prohibition of drugs, why did he drive himself to conquer Tianzhu, and all the ghosts and ghosts ran out.

The big gangster watching the scene was about to turn around and looked Zhu Kezang up and down.

I saw Zhu Kezang dressed in a relatively low-key manner today, looking like an ordinary businessman.

This big bastard's eyes lit up, all businessmen in Daming are fucking rich.

He flattered: "This guest officer, do you want to come in and try something good?"

Zhu Kezang suppressed his anger, and asked with a smile: "Brother, what is your Xiaoyao ointment?"

The gangster surnamed Xu was delighted when he saw that he had an accent from southern Fujian, this is a big fat sheep!
"This Xiaoyao ointment is a good product. The products in our store are all good products from Nanyang!"

"You know about cigarettes, right? This thing is better than cigarettes. If you take a sip, you will only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals!"

Hearing this, Zhu Kezang knew it was opium.

He nodded and said, "Come and try!"

The gangster was overjoyed, and quickly entertained his subordinates, and caringly helped Zhu Kezang park the donkey cart.

Zhu Kezang brought the royal guards Shen Cheng and Mao Xing just about to go in, when he suddenly asked, "Whose property is this smokehouse?"

The gangster invited Zhu Kezang inside, and said with a smile: "Guest, the owner of our smokehouse is Mr. Xu Jun Xu. He is a descendant of Gu Yanwu and Gu Tinglin. He is the future successor of our Xu family. Xiaoyao Ointment, you are satisfied."

Xu Jun?

It was him!

It was the youngest son of Xu Qianxue, Gu Yanwu's nephew, who poisoned his teacher to death, and was later killed by Yongzheng's literary prison.

What the hell, why is this guy restless in Daming?
Before entering the door, Zhu Kezang gave Shen Cheng a glance, he understood, and immediately ran to the donkey cart, and whispered a few words to the groom of Jin Yiwei on the cart.

This is shaking people!
Soon, Zhu Kezang and two guards entered the smoke hall, and saw many people lying on the bed and puffing, and he couldn't help being shocked. He didn't expect that Daming, which he ruled, could actually see such a scene.

The so-called Xiaoyao Ointment is definitely a drug ointment, an opium!
Zhu Kezang is well aware of the poisonousness of this thing, but he did not expect it to be found everywhere in Shanghai County. These businessmen really dare to make any black-hearted money.

Zhu Kezang had only one question in his mind: how is this stuff spreading in Daming?
But don't spread it.

Zhu Kezang knew that opium had already appeared.

"Da Ming Hui Dian" records the fact that the Asian vassal states paid tribute to the Ming imperial family with opium.

It is said that the kings of Siam, Java, and Bengal regularly sent tribute missions to China, and opium was included in the tribute, but it was called "black incense" in the "Da Ming Hui Dian".

Siam paid 200 catties to the emperor and 100 catties to the queen each time. The amount of tribute paid by the other two countries has no clear history.

However, this amount could not meet the needs of the Ming royal family, and the emperor had to send eunuchs to search for opium everywhere, and the price of opium at that time was the same as that of gold of the same weight.

It is said that Emperor Wanli did not go to court for 30 years, but experimented and took elixirs in the palace. His elixirs contained opium, and he named the opium "Fu Shou Gao".

Zhu Kezang was far-sighted, and he banned the drugs when he built the cigarette factory. He didn't expect the drugs to change their names and surnames, but they still existed!
The gangster of the Xu family who watched the scene didn't know Zhu Kezang's inner activities, so he led him to a room with two beds, a table on it, and a smoking gun.

"Guest officer, have you ever smoked before? Would you like to arrange for a girl to serve you?"

The big gangster was all smiles.

He knew that once Xiaoyao Ointment became addicted, it would be difficult to quit, and when the guest became addicted, then he could just slap on the face like he was at the door just now.

The gangster saw that Zhu Kezang was dressed as a businessman, and he was still wearing silk. He estimated that he had a lot of silver dollars in his hand. He was going to make Zhu Kezang addicted to smoking first, and then squeeze out the big-headed silver dollars in Zhu Kezang's pocket.

Zhu Kezang signaled, and then smiled: "Xiaoyao Ointment sounds good, but we have never smoked it. Respect is worse than obedience. Let's arrange some girls to help light cigarettes!"

The big bastard smiled and said: "Wait a minute, wait a moment, I will immediately arrange two of the most beautiful girls in the tobacco shop for the guests!"

After speaking, the leader turned and went out, while Zhu Kezang looked at the environment, sat on the bed, picked up the bong to observe, smelled it by the way, and his face completely darkened.

Generally speaking, the raw material of the drug is black and has a strong smell, such as ammonia or stale urine.

The raw material is boiled and fermented to become cooked opium that can be smoked and made into bars or cakes. At this time, it is brown or golden yellow and has a sweet smell when inhaled.

After a while, the gangster brought two young girls, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

However, Zhu Kezang discovered that there was a wound on the wrist of a girl who had been beaten with a whip. It was a family member of an addict who had been sold to a smoking den.

Zhu Kezang was still observing, but the gangster was about to slip away: "Guest, smoke slowly!"

"Wait a minute, brother!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhu Kezang called him suddenly.
