During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

If nothing else, smoking does affect future generations.

Eight out of ten people they caught smoking would have unhealthy children.

Song Shangshu's heart ached when he thought that the second oldest child in his family had been married for several years but had no children.

No, he couldn't let this thing destroy his son.

Song Shangshu was away, and Guo Xing was responsible for arresting people and interrogating the case. However, all the clues were cut off by the merchants. There was no way to know where the smoke came from or what the channel was.

There was no other way, so Guo Xing had no choice but to enter the palace with the clues he had so far.

A deep coldness flashed through Luo Tingye's eyes. He held down the list of accounts and said, "This matter ends here. I will let the Supervision Department investigate the rest. Your mission is to thoroughly investigate those who smoke cigarettes inside and outside the capital." People, we must not let this thing spread in the capital."

"But Your Majesty, what about the people on the list? Dr. Ouyang said before that once you are infected with this thing, it will be very difficult to quit. You need to be a mentally strong person."

But he saw that most of the people above were dandies. How could such people be so mentally strong?

"I've already asked people from the hospital to try to research an antidote."

Guo Xing retreated after hearing this.

At the same time, as merchants' homes caught fire, many people became uneasy.

A few days later, good news came from Qingzhou and Lianzhou. The two states were now actively selling salt to the imperial court. Officials from the neighboring state also wanted to participate.

I thought I would be rejected, but people from the two states generously expressed their willingness to teach me. Not only that, they also sent people to guide me.

As more and more people went to Qingzhou and Lianzhou to order salt, Jiangnan finally became uneasy and wanted to go to the table several times, but Luo Tingye called him back.

"Wu Shangshu, have you chosen the salt inspector?"

A month ago, Luo Tingye asked Wu Shangshu to choose someone, but Wu Shangshu did not reply.

"Your Majesty, it seems that among the civil and military ministers of the entire dynasty, there is only one person who is most suitable."

Luo Tingye's eyebrows twitched, "Isn't the person you're talking about Jiang Qian?"

"It's none other than Marquis Xuanwen."

Wu Shangshu said: "Wu Shangshu is not only the number one scholar appointed by the late emperor, but also the princess's consort. He is also the uncle of the current country. He must have status, ability and ability, and the most important thing is to be loyal to His Majesty."

"I also think Jiang Qian is more suitable."

Wu Shangshu: ...you know and still ask me?

"But the aristocratic families in Jiangnan are always resentful of me. If something happens to Jiang Qian on the road, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to the Queen and Huan."

Besides, he still needs Jiang Qian's brain to make more good things.

Wu Shangshu didn't hesitate after hearing this, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Prince An?"

"The status is enough, but do you think he is qualified?"

"Your Majesty, Prince An represents the royal family. You can choose two more people to follow you."

"There are a lot of places to inspect this time, and it's the first inspection. We have to send some reliable people there."

Wu Shangshu raised his head and asked: "Does Your Majesty plan to select people from the Ministry of Household Affairs or from the Yushitai?"

"First select people from the Yushitai, and your household department will also send people to follow."

As a result, more people are needed.

Safety is also an issue.

Luo Tingye came to Jiaofang Hall, and Luo Huanhuan and Jiang Qian happened to be there too.

During the meal, Jiang Miao coughed twice. Luo Tingye was worried that she had caught a cold, so he hurriedly sent for a doctor.

But he came back alone. Luo Tingye's face was solemn, "What's going on, where is the imperial doctor?"

"If I reply to Your Majesty, everyone from the Imperial Hospital will be called away."

"You're so brave. Who told you to leave?"

Luo Tingye stood up suddenly, and Feng Jizhong was frightened by the strong pressure and knelt on the ground, "Several marquises and princes, as well as princes, all said that their family members were sick and asked the imperial doctor to come to see him. Even many of the medical assistants in the palace were called away, and the remaining ones were all worthless. The servant was worried that they would offend the Queen, so I didn't bring anyone here."

"How come they got sick together?" Luo Huanhuan asked.

Luo Tingye and Jiang Miao looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Jiang Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do your Majesty and the Queen know something?"

Seeing Luo Tingye's sullen face, Jiang Miao explained, "I guess these bosses invited the imperial doctor away for the sake of the patients who smoked heavily at home. Guo Xing took over the merchant's home. These people don't have cigarettes anymore, so their addiction will naturally be gone." Come up."

He hurriedly went to the palace to find the imperial doctor, but it seemed that the situation was not very optimistic.

Luo Huanhuan was inexplicably nervous. She held Jiang Qian's hand and said, "This thing is so powerful. Is there any way to solve it? Can I just take two doses of medicine and it will be fine?"

Jiang Miao shook her head, "Taking medicine can only relieve one or two symptoms. It treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The most important thing is to rely on willpower."

"If you rely on willpower, wouldn't it be the end? Some of those dandy boys have willpower."

The person in the family who can become a dandy is not rich or powerful. If someone takes this opportunity to use smoke to threaten someone in the family to do something, it will be very easy.

Luo Huanhuan boldly guessed, "Could someone deliberately lure these people into becoming addicted to cigarettes, and then threaten their families?"

Jiang Qian said: "I'm afraid someone has already started doing things for the other party."

"Fortunately, the people who came to ask for the imperial doctor today are all people with no real power." Jiang Miao thought with some joy.

At this time, Feng Jizhong raised his head tremblingly, "Your Majesty, when I came back, I saw that the Hu family also sent people to the palace."

"Hu family? Hu offering wine?" Jiang Miao exclaimed.

Is it possible that Hu Jijiu is also addicted?

Luo Tingye's pupils narrowed sharply, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.

"He's the teacher's son."

In that list, Hu Guanhua's name was clearly included.

Hu Guanhua was the third son of Hu Jijiu. He had been sent abroad for many years and was transferred back to the capital at the beginning of the year. Luo Tingye originally planned to let him go to the Ministry of Punishment, but he did not expect that at this juncture, something like this would happen.

On the days marked on the list, Hu Guanhua has been smoking longer than Qi Huaiyu, and it has been three years.

Three years!

It's enough to destroy a person.

The young chamberlain walked in quickly and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Hu Jijiu and Mr. Huang Shuli want to see you."

Luo Tingye waved his hand, "Ask them to wait in the imperial study room."

"Yes."

Luo Tingye paused, "By the way, Amiao, is the nursery ready for people to live in?"

Jiang Miao nodded and asked again: "What do you want to do?"

"Detox them."

Jiang Miao immediately shook her head, "No, the nursery is for children. Besides, it was built not long ago. What if they move in and I damage it."

Luo Tingye tried hard to convince Jiang Miao that he would not agree. He also felt that this request was a bit excessive. After thinking about it, there seemed to be only one place that was most suitable. (End of chapter)
