Chapter 636 It's really terrible
But compared to this, the "forbidden ointment" in Yuncheng is even more urgent.
Jia Zheng and the other two rode at full speed. Except for the occasional chicken sellers, Jia Zheng would drop some change to buy a few, but they didn't dare to stay for long.
However, even so, Doctor Wu still complained that Jia Zheng was wasting time.
He pulled Jia Zheng's hair and sighed, "Alas, when I'm done with this, I have to research a pill to cure the gluttony of you gluttons!"
It takes six or seven days to get from the capital to Yuncheng.
However, they rushed all the way and arrived at the city gate in just four days.
As soon as they entered the city and saw the scene on the street, the three of them couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, shocked.
Not only were there many people carrying tobacco sticks on the street.
What's more terrible is that even tobacco shops have opened!
The shops that originally sold food on the East and West Streets have now changed their storefronts and become tobacco shops.
Not only was there smoke lingering at the door, but from time to time there were some disheveled men and women with dazed eyes walking in and out.
Lin Chunlai's eyes widened, and he was so shocked that his tongue was almost tied, "This... the trend of smoking tobacco here is so rampant that people dare to gather in the street to smoke tobacco in broad daylight?"
Jia Yi tightened the reins of the horse, and his face flushed with anger.
"Fuck it! Those who sell Sichuan cuisine, cakes, and donkey hot pot have given up their jobs to open a tobacco shop? The food is so delicious, how can it be inferior to some stinky opium paste? This is the first thing I can't stand!"
Needless to say, Doctor Wu.
He glared at the street, grabbed the Ren Zhong Huang in the medicine box, and threw it at a man at the door of the tobacco shop.
The man covered the back of his head and wanted to turn around and curse.
But he had inhaled too much opium paste, which made him weak. He fell to the ground after taking only two steps, and he was still yelling for paste.
"Sniff, sniff, sniff! You have sucked your body to pieces, and you don't know the harm yet. Hurry up and quit." Doctor Wu said with great sorrow.
However, the guests of the opium house looked calm when they saw this scene.
They still staggered, their eyes full of desire, and walked into the house with pale and thin faces...
as if there were some ghosts in there that could absorb people's spirits and hook their souls.
Doctor Wu was so distressed that he gritted his teeth and said, "Look, the opium is about to destroy the people here!"
Jia Zheng and Lin Chunlai also had red eyes.
Without saying much, the three of them rushed into the yamen and threw Xiao Nuobao's hand order to Tian Zhixian.
When he heard that it was the princess's order, Tian Zhixian dared not say anything, and hurriedly gave up the yamen and let the yamen runners obey their orders.
Lin Chunlai was the Minister of War, the highest official, so he was in charge of the ban on ointment this time.
According to Xiao Nuobao's instructions, they set out immediately.
First, tell the people about the harm of the cream.
Then let everyone quit as soon as possible, and then destroy the opium cream.
However, this is not that easy.
When Jia Ju brought a group of yamen runners to seal all the opium houses and collect the opium cream, they encountered resistance from many people.
Some people who were not deeply addicted were better off. Once they knew that they would lose their lives if they smoked this thing again, they dared not touch it again and avoided the officers and soldiers.
But those who smoked too much or those who were stupid and ignorant could not reason.
When they saw the opium house was closed, two men who were waiting at the door to buy cream shouted excitedly on the spot, grabbed the silver and stuffed it into the arms of the yamen runners.
"Sir, please let me smoke again!"
"It's okay to smoke once and then seal it, otherwise I really can't stand it, you want to kill me!"
The two men had sunken cheeks and their faces were uglier than stove ash. Seeing that the yamen runners refused, they simply rushed up to bite them, their eyes were red like mad dogs.
Jia Rong was furious, rushed over and kicked each of them twice, stepping on the two of them to the ground.
"You still want to smoke at this time? If you want to die, just say it. I will fulfill your wish. It's better than you smoking to death, at least it will save your mother's coffin money!"
However, just after subduing these two "smoking ghosts", a burst of crying broke out in the Meixianglou in front.
"Why don't you take me in? Didn't you say that anyone who is willing to sell their own can be given two taels of tobacco paste?"
Jia Ru ran over and saw a young woman kneeling in front of the brothel, her face full of makeup and rustling, and she kept kowtowing to the old procuress.
"Just take me in, even if I'm not worth two taels, at least give me one tael of tobacco paste..."
After crying, she tore open her clothes and rushed into the Meixiang Building, begging, "Is there anyone willing to take me? I don't want money, just give me two puffs, and I will accompany you once for two puffs of tobacco!"
Jia Ru's eyes froze, and his eyes were full of anger and sorrow.
For a mouthful of opium paste, men dare to risk their lives to offend the police, and women are willing to sacrifice their bodies to despise themselves...
This opium paste is really abominable!
"I really don't know which idiot brought this evil thing into Yuncheng. If I catch the person behind it, I will definitely tear his head off!" He closed his eyes and said hatefully.
In order to shock the people, Jia Jun had to use ruthlessness.
He shouted loudly in the street, "From now on, anyone who dares to be obsessed with opium paste will not even have to eat jail food, and will be executed in public!"
However, the addiction to the poison was too "charming". Even though he said this, there was still a middle-aged man who was smoking it in the street.
"It feels so good, haha, what do you mean my family will be ruined? This is obviously a magic medicine that can help me see fairies. You stinky officials should stop meddling in other people's business." He hummed and laughed.
The man was obviously high from smoking. He was staggering all the way with a cigarette in his hand. He became arrogant because he had some family background.
Jia Ju's eyes suddenly darkened.
Without saying a word, he drew out the sword from his waist and swung it across. After a splash of blood flew into the sky, the man's head fell to the ground!
It was not until they saw the blood gushing out that the stunned people on the street were awakened. They ran home screaming and did not dare to mention the ointment anymore.
Jia Ju struck while the iron was hot, and brought a group of yamen runners, not only arresting many drug dealers.
At the same time, those men and women who were seriously addicted were also rounded up from house to house, and all were sent to the cells to quit their addiction!
Doctor Wu was so busy that he was almost like a living mosquito, "flying around" in the cell, and from time to time he had to stab these addicts a few times to help them stop their pain.
However, the cells had limited space, and men and women had to be separated, so it soon became insufficient.
Fortunately, at this time, Da Liucun came to help!
Li Yiner evacuated Xianquanju and ran to report, "Doctor Wu, if we squeeze in, our Xianquanju should be able to accommodate several hundred people. Those who can't fit can be sent here."
"Okay!" Doctor Wu immediately agreed and kicked the drugged men on the ground, "Humph, these people are already terminally ill, so don't send them there, so as to avoid ruining our Xianquanju."
"Let Lin Chunlai send a few people to take the women, the elderly, and the half-grown children whose symptoms are slightly milder here over there. If there are any disobedient ones, just tie their hands and feet and find someone to feed them. Just make sure they don't starve to death."
"But we can't let them live here for free." Doctor Wu was afraid that the Jiang family would suffer a loss, and he snorted, "When these people get better in the future, they will have to work for me in the village. They will work as many days as they live here as a reward!"
Soon, under the thunderous tactics of Lin Chunlai and Jia Zheng, coupled with the "living mosquito spirit" Doctor Wu, the tobacco paste in the city was quickly controlled.
No one asked to smoke anymore.
No one dared to sell it.
Next, they just had to quit the addiction, but this was too painful. Even if those addicts were tied up, once they got addicted, they could still twist like old maggots, and their eyes were almost bulging.
But others didn't care.
But Daliu Village also had such a "living ancestor".
Ju Jiao was beaten eight or nine times. She was tied to the kang by Mrs. Liu and her husband. She cried at least three times a day, and her tears could drown the kang.
"Mom, please give me some ointment..."
"Mom! I'm really dying. I'll die if I don't beat myself!"
"Mother, we have the relationship of Nuobao. Even if I really beat myself again, I will definitely not be exiled or beheaded. If you still want to recognize me as your daughter, go and get me some!"
Ju Jiao just cried at first.
Later, she just yelled, and the pain in her eyes turned into a threat with hatred.
Mrs. Liu's heart was about to break. With a pair of swollen eyelids, she could only plug her ears with corn leaves and sit at the gate crying, trying not to listen to the daughter's shouting.
Speaking of which, the Liu family was unlucky.
Originally, Mrs. Liu was one of the first to work in Xianquanju, and her family should have the most savings.
But for Jujiao, the old couple went through a lot of trouble and spent a lot of money before they could marry Jujiao off.
Jujiao only wanted to marry a high-ranking official.
In the end, she only found an old man with a minor official relative, and became his concubine. Not only did she take most of her family's wealth as a dowry.
If she could live a stable life from then on, it would be fine.
But she was restless. Not long after living in the city, she had to keep up with the trend and learned to smoke tobacco paste...
Now, her husband's family was afraid of attracting officials, so they threw her back to the countryside and ignored her.
Mrs. Liu and her husband were shocked and could only hold on to help Jujiao quit her addiction first...
When Yin'er and Wencai passed by the Liu family, they felt sorry for them.
"Look at Jujiao's howling, Aunt Liu must be heartbroken." Li Yin'er shook her head and sighed. Li Wencai
said sensibly, "Sister, why don't you take me to see Grandpa Wu and let him teach me how to give acupuncture to relieve the addiction. Once I learn it, Sister Jujiao won't feel so bad."
However, Zhang Xiucai heard what they said.
The scholar put down the book, limped out, waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, Wencai, Jujiao is just an accomplice. If it weren't for Wangfu, several elderly people in our village would have been harmed by her."
"Even if you help someone like her who betrays her parents and fellow villagers once, there will be a next time." Zhang Xiucai shook his head with a bitter smile, "It's better to let her suffer more, maybe she will learn a lesson and do less stupid things in the future."
Yin'er and Wencai opened their mouths, but couldn't say anything, because thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true...
It's just a pity for Mrs. Liu, it's really pitiful for parents all over the world.
But no matter what, the ban on ointment in Yuncheng has made great progress.
In order to reassure Nuobao, Lin Chunlai also quickly wrote a letter, detailing the situation here, and had someone send it quickly.
When the letter arrived in Beijing, the little fat girl felt relieved after reading it. She grabbed the letter, ran to the inner room, and read it to Feng in a baby voice.
Feng was relieved after hearing it, but when she thought of Jujiao, her mood became complicated again.
At this time, Li Qiqiao put down the rice spoon and sighed, "Jujiao, this girl, I originally thought she was greedy and lazy, but I didn't expect her to be so troublesome. It's really pitiful for Mrs. Liu, she almost gave her heart to Jujiao, but it still turned out like this."
She didn't feel sorry for Jujiao, but she felt very sympathetic to the old couple of the Liu family.
However, Feng thought about it carefully and shook her head, "But if we look into it, if Mrs. Liu was willing to not dote on her daughter so much and not always give in to Ju Jiao in everything, maybe it wouldn't have come to this. In fact, it was Mrs. Liu herself who caused the problem." The
so-called love of parents for their children is to educate their virtues and correct their behavior, not just blindly obey them.
Feng touched Xiao Nuobao's head, "My dear, the deeper the love, the more severe the blame. Today, I tell you that if you only say nice things but don't know how to correct, that is not love, but harm. When you grow up, you must remember this to the people around you."
Xiao Nuobao has seen the situation of the Liu family.
So she nodded her head vigorously, "Don't worry, Mom, Nuobao understands!"
Fortunately, her mother is the most clear-headed. In the Jiang family, there will never be a situation where children are spoiled to the point of not knowing right from wrong.
This is also a blessing for the family.
Little Nuobao squinted his eyes, rubbed his chubby waist, and was thinking happily.
However, at this time, Jiang Fenghu heard the sound and came into the room, and took the opportunity to see what his son was doing.
As a result, he suddenly found that Chun Ge'er was holding the pen with his left hand and was struggling to write his homework.
"Son, you are not left-handed, why do you write with your left hand? Look at your handwriting, it's like a dog crawling." He came over and tapped little Chun Ge.
Chun Ge said in a baby voice, "Actually, I also wrote one with my right hand, but that was for my little aunt. I wrote it for myself with my left hand so that the handwriting can be distinguished. Master Li won't know that I am writing for my aunt."
As soon as these words came out, the whole family looked at the fat girl who was looking guilty.
Chun Ge was honest, afraid of stealing the credit, and raised his head to add, "But Dad, I can't think of such a smart way. It was my little aunt who taught me!"
Feng's eyelids twitched immediately.
She just said that children should not be spoiled. If she doesn't care, wouldn't it be a slap in the face!
"Nuobao, you little girl! How can you learn anything when you let your nephew do his homework?" Mrs. Feng rolled up her sleeves angrily.
Little Nuobao quickly picked up the head melon, ran around the room with his short legs, and screamed for mercy.
"Mom, Nuobao will never dare to do it again. Just this time, Wuwu was caught by you!"
