"Mo Qi said that the prince gave him a gesture before he left, and he knew that you would definitely come back."
After drinking the tea handed to him by Bai Zhi in one gulp, Jiang Li gave a thumbs up to Mo Qi who came over after hearing the noise.
"There's something wrong with that county governor's mansion."
Gu Qingchen recalled what the concubine had told him, "Ah Li, do you know how a healthy man could become as thin as a stick and listless in such a short period of time, even unable to recognize old people, howling for no reason, and with a hideous look on his face?"
Hearing Gu Qingchen say this, Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat, "If you're poisoned by opium, this is what will happen."
"Poppy poison? What is that?"
"It's an addictive poison. Once intoxicated, one loses control of oneself and can only feel pleasure physically and mentally through continuous use. It's also expensive. Medical texts have documented numerous cases of people selling their wives and children, leading to the destruction of their families, all due to continued use. Even more terrifying is the severe devastation this poison inflicts on both the body and mind. If it were to reach the civilian population, it would bring devastation to the people.

He had wanted to find out more, but the County Magistrate's Office was overwhelmed with guards, and he sensed that there were many experts inside. Worried about Jiang Li getting into trouble, he decided to take Jiang Li away first and then make a long-term plan.
"It's okay, I'll find out tomorrow."
As Jiang Li finished speaking, Gu Qingchen's brows and eyes turned cold, "It's not safe for you to go. Let the secret guards investigate this matter."
Patting the back of Gu Qingchen's hand, he said, "Of course the secret guards will be dispatched, but I have to go and see for myself to find out what the poison is. Don't worry, the hermit has a clever plan."
