A large number of slaves were quickly confiscated from the homes of the royal family and nobles of the upper three banners. The noise was so loud that it soon spread throughout the capital.
At first everyone was just watching the fun, but as more and more slaves were found, everyone started to figure out what was going on.
The nobles of the upper three banners have so many slaves in their families, don’t they have any in their own families?
So, taking advantage of this favorable situation, the nobles of the five banners and even the civil and military officials in the capital also began to pack up their servants.
For a full half month, there was no peace in the capital. At the beginning of the chaos, Kangxi had warned all officials at the morning court that it was not allowed to beat or kill criminal slaves without permission. As a result, the cells of the Five Cities Inspection Office were soon filled with slaves.
During this period, Kangxi really indulged his addiction to watching plays. Don't think that he didn't know it just because he was in the palace. These people, in addition to wanting to take the opportunity to make a fortune from the bondservant families, were actually secretly laughing at his jokes.
Now, everyone in Kyoto has been fooled by the slave Yangzi. Who dares to laugh at anyone else?
While Yinreng was watching the joke, he was also paying attention to the progress on Yin'er's side.
After many days, Yinzhen's men finally found the specific source of the opium.
The opium in that tavern did indeed flow in from Tianjin Port, and was led by an English missionary in the Lifanyuan.
In order to persuade the two owners of the tavern to join the pirate ship, the missionary boasted to them that opium was a very popular item in his country. After trying it a few times, the two became addicted to the feeling of being intoxicated.
The rest is simple.
He used the English caravan to smuggle opium, selling it to two people at the price of 500 taels per box. Then he bought tea, silk, ceramics and other goods in the capital and shipped them back to England to sell.
After a while, the old yellow-haired man accumulated a huge amount of wealth in more than a year.
According to the information Yinzhen found out, Yinreng made a rough estimate and found that the old yellow-haired man's net worth was at least hundreds of thousands of taels.
After discussing with his brothers, Yinreng decided to wait two days and seize all the goods when the old yellow-haired caravan arrived at Tianjin Port again.
We can’t let this old yellow-haired guy plunder wealth from the Qing Dynasty anymore.
For this reason, Yinzhen went to the Qianqing Palace to ask for grace and went to guard Tianjin Port.
Yinsi secretly went to find people from the Ministry of Justice, waiting for news to come out from the port so that they could arrest the foreigners.
The waiter that Yinzhen got out of the tavern was in very bad condition at first. Once he got addicted to drugs, he would engage in mad self-harm.
His body was like rotten dead branches and leaves. Any excessive movement would cause his bones to break. After his drug addiction was over, his body was covered with wounds.
After half a month of treatment by the doctor, he finally stopped self-harming. However, he was like a walking corpse, with no interest in anything. His body was so broken that it was no exaggeration to say that he was riddled with holes.
Every time Yinzhen went back to ask the doctor, the doctor looked depressed, and his originally gray hair was almost completely white.
He has been following his father in practicing medicine since he was young, but he has never seen such a difficult patient.
If the medical fee given by this noble man was not so high, he really wanted to quit.
Now I just hope that if this terminally ill person dies, the noble man will not vent his anger on him.
On the second day after Yinzhen left, Yinlu was summoned to the Qianqing Palace by Kangxi.
Yinzhen looked puzzled.
He shouldn't have done anything wrong recently, right?
Why did the old man suddenly want to meet him?
Could it be that... the old man found out about him secretly embezzling the money?
Thinking of this, Yin'er's heart tightened.
