Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

"What arrests?" The Minister of Revenue was quite surprised.

Chen Changli glanced at him and pointed outside, his tone extremely cold: "Of course it's those people who took 'Afurong'. They are coming soon. If Lord Qin trusts 'Afurong' very much, then when you meet those people later, you might as well take a portion yourself."

He put his hand down and looked at the Minister of Revenue inexplicably. Thinking that one of the people he arrested was from a branch of the Minister of Revenue's family, he smiled and said, "Master Qin, could it be that you know who I arrested and that's why you think that 'opium' is harmless?"

"When have I ever said such a thing?" Seeing Chen Changli's bright eyes and serious tone, the Minister of Revenue, who had been corrupted by money, immediately cleared his mind.

He stared at Chen Changli with great vigilance, fearing that his next words would trip him up.

"If you have anything to say, wait until you see those people first." The emperor didn't want to listen to their quarrel, so he started to scold them directly.

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, his face suddenly became solemn, because the emperor's tone was a little subtle, as if he was on Chen Changli's side.

He looked up at the emperor in disbelief, as if he didn't understand why he would choose Chen Changli. You know, the person Chen Changli is loyal to is the prince, and isn't the person the emperor hates the most the prince?

"My dear Qin, if 'Ofurong' is really the thing that destroyed Dajing, I hope you can cooperate with my dear Chen to destroy it." The emperor met the Minister of Revenue's incredulous eyes and said in a heavy tone.

He is willing to ignore Da Jing for the Phoenix Gu, but the Phoenix Gu can make him immortal, while 'Afurong' will not only not make him immortal, but will also destroy Da Jing.

He is still the emperor of Dajing. How can he let his country be destroyed and his family ruined because of 'opium'?

The Minister of Finance was also considered the emperor's confidant. When he heard the emperor's words, he reacted instantly and adjusted his attitude immediately. He said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. If there is really a problem with 'Afurong', I will destroy it and prevent it from endangering the people of Dajing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Dequan came in with his men.

The officials who had been silent all this time immediately looked over, but were shocked. The people brought in were skinny and had empty and numb eyes, as if they had lost hope in life. They looked like puppets, having lost their self-awareness.

"Is this really a human?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"How come they are not human?" Chen Changli asked sarcastically, "They are not only human, but also descendants of some noble families."

"How is it possible?" Upon hearing Chen Changli's words, the generals and nobles exploded like boiling water in a pot.

The brave ones immediately came over to observe, but before they got close, they smelled a strange odor.

The smell was so foul that they almost fainted.

However, they were military generals and had much better endurance than the civil officials. As a result, they were almost suffocated before they even got close, which frightened the civil officials so much that their faces suddenly changed.

Just then, someone had a drug addiction attack, his body kept shaking, and then he fell to the ground and convulsed.

"Medicine, magic medicine, give it to me quickly." He shouted in a hoarse voice, his eyes red as if if he was asked to kill someone or burn something in the next moment, he would be happy to do it.

Seeing that the man was addicted to drugs, Chen Changli thought of what he had found out before, so he walked up to him and said condescendingly: "I have some medicine here. If you want it, learn to bark like a dog first."

"Woof woof~" Upon hearing Chen Changli's words, the man's body twitched, his face turned pale, and veins on his forehead bulged, and he quickly imitated the barking of a dog.

He imitated it so well, as if he really regarded himself as a dog, without any human dignity at all.

A trace of pity flashed across Chen Changli's eyes, but he continued to utter all kinds of words that destroyed his human nature and dignity.

"That adult's shoes are a little dirty, go and lick them."

"That gentleman doesn't want me to give you the medicine, so go and beat him up."

After only two words of guidance, the other sickly people did not give the person who fell to the ground any chance at all, and suddenly did what Chen Changli said.

They went to lick people's shoes. Even though they were extremely weak and had no strength in their hands and feet, they still had to prop themselves up and beat people.

Their crazy appearance instantly stunned all the civil and military officials and frightened the emperor.

"Enough, enough. Chen Changli, knock them out quickly and don't let them rush over." The emperor screamed.

The Minister of Revenue was so scared that he hid behind a military general, his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"These people are too scary. Chen Changli, you must act quickly and don't let them scare His Majesty."

Chen Changli knocked out the crazy man directly and glanced at the many civil and military officials one by one.

Seeing that they were all extremely frightened and their faces were pale and fragile, Chen Changli knew that this fact was enough to make them wary of "opium".

"Your Majesty, these people are all people who took 'opium'. They have only taken it for three years, but they have already spent all their family wealth." Chen Changli's tone was quite sympathetic. "Even the maids and even the wives in the family were sold by them because of 'opium'."

"They are all wealthy people. The man who imitates the barking of a dog is from a branch of the Qin family. He is also a juren (a scholar) and is very popular among scholars."

"And this shoe licker is the son of a military commander. He has fought in the battlefield before. But now, for the sake of opium, he not only sold his wife, but also his daughter to a brothel. There are many people like him."

"How could they do this?" Upon hearing that these people had important identities, someone spoke in disbelief without waiting for Chen Changli to continue introducing them.

But thinking back to how these people had gone crazy because of the drugs, they had to believe that what Chen Changli said was true. For a moment, they couldn't help but suspect that their own family members would have no way to get rid of such drugs.

"'Ofurong' is a poison that can destroy Dajing. Your Majesty, we must find a way to destroy 'Ofurong' as soon as possible. We cannot let it circulate in Dajing. Otherwise, won't the people of Dajing become such waste?"

The hot-tempered Minister of Rites spoke with lingering fear, and his words were soon echoed by others.

It didn't take long for everyone to label "opium" as a top-level poison that brought disaster to the country and the people, and destroyed a nation and a race.

Whoever is not wary of it is Dajing's enemy?

Under such circumstances, some extremely greedy and optimistic people had to stand up and agree, and then asked the emperor to send troops to search for the "opium" hidden in Luoyang City.

Everyone was united, and the emperor had indeed seen the harm caused by 'opium', so he immediately issued an order: "I will give this matter to Chen Changli and Ye Xuan, you must do your best to cooperate with them. If any family member hides 'opium', he will be punished for treason."
