Chapter 665 Who Wants to Destroy My Great Tang Dynasty!
Still in the same residence where the outpost of the scoundrels was located, after listening to Li San Niang's emphasis, Mr. Bu Ke pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the hunchbacked servant who had been following him.
The hunchbacked servant bowed slightly, as if waiting for Mr. Bu Ke's instructions.
"Have someone retrieve those documents, make a copy of the relevant information, and show it to Third Sister."
After Mr. Ke finished speaking, the hunchbacked servant bowed slightly and turned to walk out the door.
After giving these instructions, Mr. Bu Ke looked at Li San Niang, who seemed somewhat surprised, and said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you before. I was planning to investigate thoroughly through my spies before asking you to speak, San Niang."
Who would have thought that Third Sister would encounter this kind of trouble first?
Next, Li San Niang listened to Mr. Bu Ke briefly explain how the Bad People had discovered the opium scandal half a year ago.
About 15 minutes later, the hunchbacked servant brought in the things from outside.
The hunchbacked servant took out a rolled-up piece of paper from the small leather bucket tied to the carrier bird's claw, flattened it, and handed it to Mr. Bu Ke. Mr. Bu Ke took it, casually flipped through it, and then handed it to Li San Niang, who was sitting opposite him.
Li San Niang nodded gratefully and accepted the information handed to her by Mr. Bu Ke, then quickly began to read it under the dim light.
"...the limbs twisted, it made strange noises, then its body convulsed and it foamed at the mouth..."
"We discovered that some members of the largest Uyghur tribe caravan in the western market were using opium..."
"Continuing from last time, after disguising myself as a businessman and making contact with him, I subtly inquired and found out that..."
"...Cheng Dalang, the owner of Chengji Rice Shop, accidentally caused his father to fall against a table leg and hit his head during an argument over money while he was using opium..."
...
After quickly reviewing the scattered and fragmented information on the papers, Li Sanniang had already figured out the problem.
The matter of the extraordinary person is now under Mr. Bu Ke's jurisdiction. Among those present, Li San Niang guessed that apart from Uncle Hei and Lao Shi who didn't quite understand the matter of the extraordinary person, the hunchbacked servant and Qiu Xiang should know it very well.
So, Li Sanniang put down the few pages of paper in her hand and asked, "Sir, have you reported this to the Emperor?"
Mr. Bu Ke did not answer Li San Niang's question. He waved his hand, and the hunchbacked servant walked towards the door. Mr. Bu Ke then looked at Qiu Xiang and Lao Shi, who were standing behind Li San Niang. Qiu Xiang and Lao Shi then realized that Mr. Bu Ke had something to say to Li San Niang alone.
Qiu Xiang and Lao Shi then stood up, bowed to Mr. Bu Ke, and turned to follow the hunchbacked servant toward the door.
"Old Hei, take the questions San Niangzi wrote down and interrogate that merchant. See what you can get out of him."
After a pause, Mr. Ke continued, "Spare the merchant's life and see if we can find out who's behind him."
Uncle Hei bowed and saluted. He turned around and followed the hunchbacked servant and the others out. After leaving the door, he turned around and carefully closed the door behind him.
Once only Mr. Bu Ke and Li San Niang were left in the room, Mr. Bu Ke carefully recounted to Li San Niang the important information about opium that the Bad People had gathered.
After leaving the room, Uncle Hei went into the west wing.
Qiu Xiang looked back at the hunchbacked servant who had remained at the door of the room where Li San Niang and Mr. Bu Ke were. She looked up at the roof and then turned back. Qiu Xiang saw Uncle Hei going into the west wing. She and Lao Shi exchanged a glance and then followed Uncle Hei into the west wing.
We won't go into detail about the methods the Bad Guys use to interrogate people, but in short, they are bloody.
After hearing the information from Mr. Bu Ke, Li San Niang, who was inside the house, rubbed her temples with her fingers. For the first time, Li San Niang felt genuine fear.
She had never been this afraid when she first killed someone with a scalpel in the alley.
She is no longer the person she once was; she has now become part of the Tang Dynasty in this new time and space.
She had a lively and lovely child, parents who truly loved her, older brothers and sisters-in-law who cared for her, and she also took on disciples. She also formed connections with many other women in the world at that time.
She wanted to live a good life here, and she hoped to do something for her daughter through her own efforts.
But why are there always people who want to start a war?
For the first time in her life as a doctor, Li Sanniang had a thought she had never had before: she considered resorting to violence.
After swallowing, Li Sanniang looked at Mr. Bu Ke and said, "Sir, if I'm not mistaken, these people who have been tricked and become addicted to drugs are just the first step in the foreigners' test."
"To be honest, sir, in the timeline I previously lived in, a century-long war of resistance was initiated by opium."
At this moment, Li San Niang thought of the historical records she had seen in the past, those words, photos and rare video records, all of which were soaked in blood and lives.
Li San Niang closed her eyes, as if she had returned to the time when she visited the museum. If it weren't for the people of this land fighting back, where would there be any peaceful days?
Li San Niang clenched her fist under the table, opened her eyes and looked at Mr. Bu Ke, saying, "Sir, there are strange people from foreign lands, and these strange people want to destroy our Great Tang Dynasty!"
Sir, this is an aggressive war that aims to plunder our silver with poison, destroy the economy of the Tang Dynasty, harm the strong bodies of the Tang people with poison, and leave us without soldiers!
Foreign barbarians covet everything of the Tang Dynasty; they intend to destroy our nation and exterminate our people!
Mr. Bu Ke stared wide-eyed, quite astonished as he looked at Li San Niang, who was now barely able to contain her excitement, and could even be described as somewhat frantic.
In fact, before hearing about the Opium War from Li San Niang, the clever Mr. Bu Ke had already speculated with Emperor Wu when he presented his memorial to the emperor that there might be other extraordinary people traveling through time and space, besides China.
However, at the time, Mr. Bu Ke only guessed at the existence of extraordinary people in foreign lands among many possible reasons, and was not entirely certain.
At that time, Mr. Bu Ke also said the same thing to Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, General Du of Jiangnan East Circuit is also a suspect. The spies of the Bad People can't find any in-depth information there."
I suspect that this opium scandal may also be related to Du Qinghui.
After hearing Mr. Bu Ke's many speculations, Emperor Wu did not immediately make any decisions, but simply nodded to indicate that he understood.
But now, looking at Li San Niang, Mr. Bu Ke also felt that it was very likely that, just as Li San Niang said, this was a conspiracy by foreigners, targeting the Tang Dynasty and this land, to plunder everything the Tang Dynasty had to destroy the country and exterminate the race!
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!
