But I didn't expect that the change of mind would be so quick that it left the other party stunned.
The bottom line is just to survive, as long as you don’t die.
Look how humble.
The gold bar had been successfully delivered to the palace and placed on his desk.
There were two gold bars on the table, which looked shiny, but Zhao Xin frowned because of them, as if there was something wrong with them.
"This gold bar is really getting brighter and brighter."
"Who says it isn't?"
Zhao Xin picked up a gold bar and handed it to the opponent.
The man opposite only needed a little effort to open it, and inside was a bag of powdery substance that was intactly placed inside the gold bar.
"If it weren't for the slight difference in weight, who would have thought it was disguised as real gold bars? Look at the slight lines on it. If it were broken gold, it wouldn't be as valuable as before."
"yes."
Zhao Xin sighed, wondering who would have spent so much money to bring this thing in.
If it was the eunuch who was doing the purchasing, or the princes over there, how could they have such a large supply of gold bars? I don’t even have that many in my hands.
And this thing is probably spread more and more in the city.
But it’s not easy to catch.
We can only wait until this person becomes ill before arresting him.
It's easy to say, but if a large group of people all get sick, the scene will be no different from a zombie siege. It will be impossible to catch them and detect who is infected.
Chen Mang on the opposite side also sighed in the end and just placed the thing gently on the table above the emperor.
"Your Majesty, if we bring this into the city and sell it for a price higher than gold, and then use the money to buy new ones and then sell them again, I'm afraid we will only make money and not lose money."
this…
Why didn't he think of it?
The target audience of this thing should also be this big family.
If you were a small family, you wouldn't be able to afford this kind of stuff, let alone smoke it. Just buying it would cost you half your life. So how could you possibly take such a risk...
Chen Mang on the opposite side seemed to understand what the emperor meant.
"otherwise."
"How can it be otherwise?"
"Your Majesty, think about this. There are many cases where this person would even risk everything to get rich, and there are also many cases where the family is penniless but the protagonist becomes addicted to smoking. Now, Your Majesty, why don't you investigate?"
"How to investigate."
The city is so small, it would be exhausting to investigate every household.
I really don't know what he is thinking.
If this thing goes from house to house, I'm afraid it will be out of breath and look like it's about to die before it reaches the end.
"Your Majesty, anyone who inhales this stuff will become violent and inexplicably angry, making them moody and difficult to get along with."
“…”
He felt that Chen Mang was talking about him on purpose.
As this person was speaking, he realized that the moody emperor next to him had gradually turned darker in expression. The gloomy face really scared Chen Mang who had just turned around.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"It's okay, go on."
If he continues talking, he'll just be walking into trouble.
Forget it, forget it. If I continue talking like this, I'm probably just asking for death. I'm lucky to be alive, but I still like to find shortcuts.
"So you want me to investigate thoroughly, and even sneak into someone else's house, right?"
"In theory, that's true, but it's somewhat offensive to the people's rights. However, this thing must be searched. We can't just do it openly and secretly."
It would be unreasonable to do this openly, so I'm afraid it can only be handled secretly, but no matter how it is handled, it cannot disturb the public.
If you sneak into someone's house to search secretly, it would be better to go there openly.
Now we are not considering the pros and cons of weighing the two, but this person must be found.
If the source can't be found, it means it will continue to flow in. There's only one thing Zhao Xin doesn't understand.
Where on earth did it come from?
If it was the purchasing eunuch, Zhao Xin would have rejected it first.
At most, he is a carrier of resources.
If he really took this thing out later and something happened, he could blame it on Xiao Chenzi. However, he was not looking for such a person, but the source of this disaster.
Just for the people who spread this poisonous powder.
Finally, people were sent to ask messengers from various countries, and they said that such a thing had never appeared in their country.
Then he was very curious and wanted us to give him something as a warning.
In order to prevent anyone from smoking there, I took this thing out and showed it to them carefully.
As for giving it to them, they did give it to them, but the bag inside was taken away. At most, they were given the outer shell of the gold bar so that they could study it carefully.
The man just looked at the thing, touched it, and felt that it was no different from a real gold bar.
After the emperor stuffed this thing in, the weight was indeed about the same.
If you use this thing as disguise, I'm afraid few people will be able to detect it.
And it is usually unopened. It is well coated with a layer of gold paint, and you can't see how clear it is unless you pry it open with great force.
Only then can you know what is inside.
If they really broke it into pieces with such force, wouldn't that be more trouble than gain? They were afraid that this person would take advantage of their mentality and not be afraid of their inspection.
If that's the case, we don't know how much has already flowed in.
However, the neighboring country Xinzhi also sent carrier pigeons one after another.
He said that he also had this kind of thing and it looked like a so-called poison.
A few days later, he even brought a few messengers over, and what the messengers held in their hands was exactly what he said.
But when it comes to him, it is no longer a gold bar, but a silver bar. The word "shiny" would be more appropriate if it were used on a silver bar.
And it was this incident that prompted the new left-wing emperor to quietly enter the Qin Dynasty to inform them, otherwise this thing would be full of dangers and the crisis would be huge.
At this moment, Zhao Xin knew that they had also been attacked.
"What? Could it be that you guys have been affected too?"
"Yes, we received something like this half a month ago. It looked gorgeous, but a servant accidentally dropped it on the ground, and then the rumor spread that it actually broke."
"What does it mean to dress up nicely?"
The other party ignored this and continued speaking.
"Subsequent investigations revealed that the right-wingers on the other side had also used this substance, but judging by their expressions, they seemed not to be addicted. Our unified approach to this substance is to incinerate it completely without leaving any trace."
What a ruthless person.
This is a ruthless person. He burned all the things, which could have prevented this incident from happening. Great.
"Don't you feel bad?"
"If this thing spreads, it will be a fatal blow to the economic development of Xinzhi. Plus, there's so little land, so it's unnecessary."
