Chapter 170 Fusang
Pei Yian's fingers tapped lightly on the table, little by little, his fingers tapping out a calm arc. If the case is solved, I'm afraid it will catch a lot of big fish.
Hua Junzi... maybe he could ask Old Man Yan for advice. He is a miracle doctor and maybe he could get some information from him.
Every profession has its own expertise, and some things should be left to professionals. Who knows, they may be able to get more effective clues.
He got up and went to Old Man Yan's residence, which was in a remote alley. The yard covered a large area and was planted with many herbs. It seemed that even the hill behind it belonged to Old Man Yan's property.
When the little boy heard the knock on the door, he opened it curiously. When he saw it was Pei Yian, he knew that this person was on good terms with his master, so he did not stop him. He let the person in and informed his master.
Old Man Yan was a little puzzled. "Mr. Pei, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your body?"
Otherwise, he couldn't understand why the other party would come to him for no reason.
"There's nothing wrong with my health, Mr. Yan, don't worry. It's just that I, Pei, came here today to ask you something." Seeing how serious he was, Mr. Yan didn't dare to delay. He knew that there might be something important, so he hurriedly welcomed him into his study.
Pei Yian got straight to the point and took out the things he brought. "Uncle Yan, how much do you know about Hua Junzi? And what do you think of this report?"
"Hua Junzi? This is not a good thing." After hearing this name, Mr. Yan's expression became solemn, and his look was no longer as casual and leisurely as usual.
"Although the flower gentleman is a medicinal herb, the harm and toxicity it brings cannot be underestimated. In the face of the harm, its medicinal value is not worth mentioning." At the same time, he picked up the file on the table.
After flipping through a few pages, Old Man Yan's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and he couldn't help but mutter, "This...how could this be...how could this be..."
"Uncle Yan, did you see anything?"
After hesitating for a while, Old Man Yan asked, "Were these things given to you by the people from the government office?"
After all, these things all have the seal of the government office. I just don’t know why Pei Yian, as a restaurant owner, has any connection with the Qizhou County Government Office.
Pei Yian nodded. "Old man, you're reacting so strongly, do you know something?"
The old man Yan's condition in front was too abnormal, as if he knew something. It seemed that the decision to visit him this time was not wrong.
Old Man Yan sighed heavily, his thoughts drifting away, lost in some memories. He slowly said, "When I was traveling, I once visited a small country called Fusang. There were many people who fed on flower lilies. They were so addicted that they were like walking corpses, emaciated..."
He had thought about treating the patient at first, but people who were addicted to the flower gentleman could not be cured by any medicine. They needed to quit and had strong self-control.
These two things are extremely difficult. Even if he has miraculous medical skills, he cannot save those people.
In the end, he had no choice but to leave the small country called Fuso.
When he heard about the small country of Fusang from others again, it was the news that the other party had been destroyed, which made Old Man Yan sigh. After knowing the harm of Hua Junzi, he informed the news to General Pei.
Speaking of General Pei, now it is unexpected... Things are unpredictable, and people and things have changed.
At that time, he hoped that the person above him would take it seriously and not be a hands-off boss. He began to gather information. In the capital, he heard people mention that Hua Junzi had also become a banned drug.
Unfortunately, as time goes by and in remote areas, many people are unaware of the harm caused by this flower.
Just like what he saw now, many of the corpses in the mass grave had traces of Hua Junzi... The person behind this seemed to be plotting something.
This conspiracy and the network behind it are probably not small.
If things are allowed to continue to develop, Old Man Yan is afraid that Qizhou County will be destroyed like the former small country of Fusang. By then, the entire country may be implicated, and the country and families will be ruined... This ending is not what Old Man Yan wants to see.
"Uncle Yan, I need your help." Pei Yian knew all the dangers that Old Man Yan mentioned. His father had warned him to stay away from flower lovers. Once addicted, there would be no turning back.
"No problem, Mr. Pei, if you have any questions, just tell me." Old man Yan, who wanted to retire to the mountains, gave up this idea. He felt a little sorry. This peaceful life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes would eventually be destroyed by someone.
But compared to the destruction of his family and country, he thought that his old bones could still stand up.
"Such a large number of Gentiana must be planted on a large scale, but we have searched the mountain for places suitable for Gentiana to grow, but why can't we find any trace of it?" Pei Yian asked his doubts.
"The flower gentleman not only likes to grow in the mountains and forests, but if it is picked and planted in the yard and carefully cared for, its growth will probably be even more pleasing." For example, he himself has a yard where many precious medicinal herbs are planted.
Pei Yian continued to ask a lot of questions, integrated the information and gave it to Zhou Yayi, asking his men to investigate.
With specific clues, the scope of investigation becomes smaller.
Since he knew that there might be an undercover agent in the yamen, Zhou Yayi did not dare to pass the information to others. He only sent his trusted men to investigate. In order not to alert the enemy, the reason he used naturally could not be the mass grave case.
In the eyes of outsiders, his men were investigating a case of stolen property and were not very noticeable.
After this investigation, I actually gained some other insights and discovered something unusual in the yards of several families.
Those people were secretive and highly alert, which made Zhou Yayi realize that something was wrong.
Zhou Yayi was able to be the chief yamen runner, so his martial arts skills were naturally not bad. At night, he personally conducted a secret investigation and found that there were more or less flower gentry in the yards of those people.
In order to verify his guess, Zhou Yayi also checked the household registration of these tenants and found that those people were not from any medical clinics or families with medical skills, but were just ordinary people.
But why would an ordinary family grow a flower gentleman? In everyone's eyes, it is just a medicinal herb, which is too unusual.
When someone became suspicious, Zhou Yayi immediately sent people to monitor the person in an attempt to find out who was behind the incident.
Unfortunately, for several days, Zhou Yayi did not see anything unusual, and everything was calm and normal.
As the deadline at the end of the month was approaching, Zhou Yayi was unable to produce any evidence. Even though he had a suspect, he was helpless and could only wait anxiously.
