Chapter 617: It's really a big melon eaten in public
On the other hand, Gu Changying was still in her house, feeling proud and unaware that she had already aroused murderous intent.
In fact, Mu Yihan did not send anyone to check her house.
On the contrary, he intended to cover up the matter, just to let Gu Changying continue to expand!
As the saying goes, if you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy.
The grasshoppers in autumn may jump around, but they only have one breath left anyway. The more they jump now, the faster they will die.
But at this time, there is another important matter.
In addition to Zhang Xuan and others, there are some people who did not go to Gu Changying's house today, but have eaten snacks, and they are still kept in the dark.
Mu Yihan had obtained a series of names from Madam Zhang Xuan.
He sent people to the houses of these people, and brought all the officials in the family and the female relatives who had eaten snacks to the Qinzheng Palace, and they had to stop the opium poisoning immediately.
These people came in a hurry, some of them only wore quilts and had messy hair, and they all looked confused when they entered the palace.
Madam Pei Xiaoshao and the other three women happened to be addicted again.
As soon as the black armored soldiers let go, the women bulged their eyes and pushed them around. In the end, they were paralyzed on the ground and kept rolling around, like a donkey that was kicked.
"Why did you bring us here? I can't stand it anymore. I want to go home and eat the secret snacks!"
"No, bring me the snacks quickly. I will be so uncomfortable if you don't give me any!"
She is the wife of an official. She is usually very decent, but now she is so out of control.
Mr. Pei and the others all opened their eyes wide, and were so shocked that they didn't know what was wrong with them.
Mu Yihan knew it a long time ago, but he deliberately didn't stop them, and let them embarrass themselves in public.
It would also let people see with their own eyes how harmful taking opium is.
After a long time, until Mrs. Pei's neck was full of blue veins, she wailed a few times, sweated profusely and fainted.
Mu Yihan finally spoke and ordered the imperial physician to bring the snacks and pointed out the dark brown paste inside.
"You may not know that the women in your family have long been addicted to these cakes mixed with paste." Mu Yihan shook his head unhappily.
Pei Lao and others were shocked and scared, and almost speechless.
"How, how could this happen?" They shivered for a long time before asking in shock.
The black armored soldiers took a basin of cold water and splashed it on Madam Pei Xiaoshao, holding her down and shouting, "Don't worry, everyone, let this woman tell us how she went astray!"
Madam Pei Xiaoshao's hair was disheveled and her face was wet.
But she had no idea what they meant by going astray.
She was still addicted, and looked around the hall, and finally her eyes fell on Elder Pei. She
actually thought that Mu Yihan wanted to ask about the "stealing" incident that had been making a lot of noise a few days ago. Stealing is a vague term, and it actually refers to the affair between the father-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
The Nanji did not attach importance to literary virtues, and even if ordinary officials had private affairs, they were rarely arrested and questioned.
Madam Pei Xiaoshao had long lost her mind, so she pulled her hair in frustration, "You brought me here just to ask me about what happened in the bedroom between me and my father-in-law? Although we two had an affair, there is no need to question me. He was the one who seduced me first!"
"He sent my husband to another province to be an official, and he doesn't come back once a year." Madam Pei Xiaoshao burst out in grievance and her tone became manic, "Apart from my father-in-law, even the rabbits in the inner courtyard are female. If I don't devote myself to him, how can I live?"
Old Pei's face turned pale in an instant, "You, you! Who told you to say this?"
But the other people in the hall wanted to prick up their ears, for fear of missing a word and knowing that they were about to hear big gossip.
Madam Pei Xiaoshao was in a hurry to eat some snacks. Her eyes were red and bloodshot. She got up and shouted, "Even if the court wants to investigate my father-in-law's bad personal ethics, they shouldn't just take me. My second and third sisters-in-law are also on good terms with my father-in-law! Especially my third sister-in-law, who just gave birth to a son two days ago, and my father-in-law went to her room to spend the night last night!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at Old Pei with amusement and excitement.
Unexpectedly, Minister Pei is almost seventy years old, but he is still so strong.
He didn't even let go of his daughter-in-law who had just given birth, and he was not afraid of causing a death...
Mu Yihan closed his eyes and bit his back teeth speechlessly.
Who asked her this!
At this time, Xiao Nuobao just returned to the palace. Hearing the hustle and bustle, he was about to run to the main hall.
Chunmei and Wu Que rushed over and covered the little girl's pink ears, fearing that she would hear such an unbearable thing.
Little Nuobao cried out, and seeing the excited expressions of the people in the hall, she knew there was a melon to eat.
She was so anxious that she twisted and turned, wanting to go in and eat the melon, but unfortunately she was forcibly taken away by Chunmei. Wu Que even hummed a song on purpose, just to prevent the little girl from hearing anything.
Mu Yihan secretly reached out and gave a thumbs up to this pair of "left and right protectors" in his heart.
Mrs. Pei Xiaoshao was still mumbling at this time, "By the way, there is also my father-in-law's cousin, Li Qingping, the daughter of Li Hanlin. She came to our house to recuperate last month and also stayed overnight in my father-in-law's study. The next day, she couldn't even close her legs when she walked..."
"Enough!" Old Pei's face turned red until veins popped out. Finally, he couldn't stand the embarrassment anymore and rushed up to strangle her neck.
"Is your brain covered with lard? I asked you to explain the matter of the opium cream, but you are talking nonsense here!" Old Pei wanted to strangle her to death.
Mrs. Pei Xiaoshao rolled her eyes and her face quickly turned purple.
After the eunuchs came forward to pull the two apart, she lay on the ground and coughed violently, and then patted her chest desperately, and then slowly woke up.
"I...what did I say just now..." Her voice trembled pitifully.
"And poppy? Wait, what poppy are you talking about? I don't know anything about that." After regaining her senses, Mrs. Pei Xiaoshao lowered her head in shame.
At this time, someone quickly reminded her, "I'm asking about the snack you had. There was paste in it, so it's addictive. Have you given it to other people?"
Mrs. Pei Xiaoshao was suddenly shocked, her eyes were blank and she shouted, "No, no, how could this be! I was just eating a normal snack, and I... I also shared it with my two sisters-in-law, and even Jinbao ate it..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, with deep fear, and she obviously knew that something bad had happened.
What?
Mr. Pei's face, which had just turned red with shame, suddenly turned pale.
He grabbed his daughter-in-law by the collar and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say? You gave Jinbao food! You idiot, are you trying to kill the gold nugget of my Pei family?"
After saying that, Mr. Pei finally went crazy and punched Mrs. Pei Xiaoshao in the face like a rain of pear blossoms.
Everyone rushed over to stop him, but Mrs. Pei Xiaoshao's face was covered with blood and her nose was sunken.
She curled up on the ground, crying and twitching.
Mr. Pei also seemed to be exhausted, and fell to the ground with a thud, and his cloudy eyes were filled with tears.
"Jinbao, my dear grandson, what can you do?"
"What a sin, what a sin, maybe this is God's retribution!" He suddenly burst into tears.
Inside the hall, everyone was silent, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, the harm of opium could harm innocent children.
They also have children, and it is hard to imagine how devastated they would be if it happened to them.
The inappropriate woman, the shameful minister, and the innocent child who was addicted...
For a moment, the harmfulness of opium was also concreted at this moment, like the terrifying mouth of the abyss, so they dared not touch it at all.
At this time, Mu Yihan also stood up from the high seat and walked in front of everyone.
"You are all families who have been deceived. We called you here not to convict you, but to help your family members get rid of this addiction as soon as possible and not to get too deep into it."
"The harm of poisons, the longer they are used, the deeper they will penetrate into the bones and blood. Not to mention, you all have children. If your children are accidentally infected, it will be useless to regret it." Mu Yihan said in a deep voice.
These families nodded desperately after hearing this.
They knelt on the ground together, thanking the national teacher for his forgiveness, and secretly swore in their hearts that they would let their families get rid of this when they returned.
Even if they had to tie their hands and feet and force them not to leave the house, or even let them commit suicide, they would never let poisons appear in their homes again!
At this time, the little fat girl also got rid of Chunmei and the others, and hurried in with small steps.
"Wait a minute, this princess has something to say."
She took two deep breaths, her little face flushed, "Although opium addiction is difficult to quit, as long as it is not too deep, you can still quit it with more methods."
"This princess knows a doctor. He has traveled outside the Great Wall and seen countless addicts, so he created a set of acupuncture methods that can help people relieve addiction when it strikes." Little Nuobao said crisply.
Mu Yihan narrowed his eyes.
No wonder the little guy suddenly disappeared for a long time. It turned out that he went to the farm to ask Doctor Wu for help.
At this time, everyone in the hall seemed to see hope, and they all knelt down at the feet of the little fat girl.
"Princess, please introduce me to that miracle doctor!"
"Please have mercy, Princess!"
