He Le's face was full of innocence: "Boss Gu, who are you? My brother is... ahem, the prince. He is so interested in you. Are you hiding something from me?"

This time, Gu Yue was very satisfied with He Le.

"We are just ordinary people. How can we have any special identities?" Gu Yue said in cooperation, "What's wrong, Your Highness? Have you discovered anything? Could it be that my ancestors were billionaires?"

Gu Xu was also here, so Qin Zhaoyue couldn't show off to Gu Yue in person. He just said coldly, "Boss Gu, what are you doing here? Are you afraid that my second brother will say something he shouldn't say?"

"Ah?" Gu Yue was surprised. "He Le will be going back in a few days. I don't know if I will see him again in this life. What's wrong with me seeing him off?"

Qin Zhaoyue sneered: "You came early."

"Same here, haha." Gu Yue stabbed him lightly.

Then I thought it was a little strange. Why did he fight with the prince? They had no grudges against each other.

It must be because of Xiao Xu.

If the protagonist doesn't like someone, just follow suit and dislike them.

"Pack up quickly and come back to Beijing with me." Qin Zhaoyue said to He Le.

Hele's face fell: "I know."

He asked the butler to prepare to load the remaining things into the car and set off after breakfast. Qin Zhaoyue and Gu Yue were both kept by him and had a delicious breakfast together.

Gu Xu still had no sense of presence. Qin Zhaoyue approached him at the dinner table, but he just smiled and said nothing.

The meal went smoothly. Hele was very tight-lipped, and his little cleverness was able to fully defend himself, and no matter how Qin Zhaoyue asked, he didn't reveal his true intentions. At the end of the meal, Gu Yue, Gu Xu and Hele had a delicious meal, but Qin Zhaoyue was too worried and only had half a meal.

Shi San was eating outside with Jing Cun and several of his subordinates.

Jingcun also wanted to get some information. Although there was no fight last night, he still felt that this person was very different. However, Shi San's way of keeping a secret was simple and crude, that is, not saying anything. Jingcun was very angry after getting some information.

After dinner, He Le, Qin Zhaoyue and their group set off.

The He Mansion became empty again. Liuli Town was a pretty good town. I thought some minor official would buy this house and move in in the future...

Why did Hele suddenly return to Beijing?

The emperor didn't like him, and no one cared about him when he was away for so long, but now he was called back. Was there a change in the capital?

I'm afraid I can only find out about these things when I arrive in the capital.

……

The family of three planned to go home.

When passing through the town, he found that there were many people gathered in front of the notice wall at the entrance of the town. There was a large yellow paper on the wall with words and pictures on it. Gu Yue walked closer and found that there were three kinds of plants painted on it.

It was both opium poppy and hemp leaves, but the other one was something Gu Yue had never seen before. However, according to the notice, it was also a poisonous weed that could kill people.

Someone who can read is reading the notice aloud. The gist of it is: These three poisonous weeds have been found around Luonan Road. They can kill people. Please report them to the government immediately if you find them. If anyone behaves strangely, please report them to the government immediately. Attached is how to identify the different kinds of weeds.

The people were discussing: "Poisonous weeds? Poisonous weeds? Aren't those things only found in southern Yunnan?"

"It's not the kind that's poisonous when you touch it, it's the kind that's poisonous when you eat it. The notice says that if you eat this thing, you'll see wronged ghosts every night demanding your life, and you won't be able to sleep. And this poison will slowly hollow you out from the inside, rotting your flesh and internal organs, until you're just a layer of skin covering a skeleton!"

"So scary! Is this true?"

"Can a government notice be false?"

Gu Yue smiled. Isn't it like this poison eating away at a person from the inside? It first corrodes the nervous system, causing people to have hallucinations and become addicted. Then it destroys the body's functions and metabolism. People gradually become unable to eat and absorb nutrients, and eventually become as thin as a stick of firewood. At the same time, the immune system will also decline. A small virus can cause the body to completely collapse. The most common disease is skin disease. Bacteria and fungi that can usually be prevented can take root and the skin of the entire body will rot into pieces.

In the later period of the modern world, due to the fear of scaring children, the propaganda about the harm of drugs was not so straightforward. But when Gu Yue was a child, he had seen the uncensored propaganda film, and the people in it, wow, really were no different from rotten zombies.

Thinking of those scenes, Gu Yue felt a chill and touched the goose bumps on his arms through his clothes.

There was nothing new to learn after reading the notice, so the three of them walked away from the crowd and chatted as they walked home.

"It seems that Qin Zhaoyue has successfully made the emperor pay attention to this matter. Has he found evidence?" Gu Yue was very curious.

Gu Xu said, "Doesn't the manager of the pepper garden love to eat that stuff? I think some of the guards have been bitten by it, so Qin Zhaoyue can always pick up a few."

"It took so long to implement it. How many months have passed since the incident at Jiaoyuan? Qin Zhaoyue is really..." Gu Yue frowned. The emperor doesn't like him?

"But if we do this, our investigation into Baoshun Pharmacy will also be delayed." Gu Xu said, "The situation is tense now, they will definitely tighten their power and will not come forward at this time."

"This is also a good thing." Gu Yue smiled, "The pharmacies in Guozhou have already started looking for common people to test their medicines. Who knows what they are going to do? Now that they are strictly checking everywhere, the common people will not be harmed."

"That's true." Gu Xu nodded.

"We should take this opportunity to do some of our own things." Gu Yue and the other two entered the house and closed the door.

"What's the matter?" Gu Xu asked.

"Keep fit and get my leg problem treated. I'll have to take some medicine to keep it going." Gu Yue said. It rained a lot in summer, and he was tortured to death by rheumatic leg injuries several times.

"The fried chicken business will take time to develop. The profit from just a few months is too little, and it's impossible to expand the scale." Gu Yue sighed.

"You can use that money." Gu Xu said.

"That's something your parents left for you, how can I touch it?" Gu Yue smiled, "You may need to investigate something in the future... There are too many places to spend money."

Gu Xu said: "It's all the same."

"It's different." Gu Yue refused firmly.

Of course, soft rice is delicious, but it is limited. If you eat it now, you won't have it in the future.

And using Gu Xu's money...he always felt guilty.

Seeing Gu Xu's tough face, Gu Yue was about to say something to refuse when there was a knock on the gate.

who?

Who would look for them? The Crown Prince and Qin Zhaole have both left, so could it be King Yin?

He Gui, who was plucking the chickens in the yard, hurried over and whispered, "Boss, it could be..."

Before he could say anything, the door to the courtyard rang again. The person outside was really strong, knocking on the wooden door with a deafening sound.
