There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

"Sister! It's everyone's fault that I just went back to my own house to have a look. Why did this person jump up and make someone arrest her too!" Xue Pan was very annoyed, and pointed at the guard's nose and shouted loudly, "You know It is the people of Rongguo Mansion who rely on everyone, how dare they act recklessly!"

The guard chuckled: "Of course I know that she is the old lady of the Lai Mansion, so I want to arrest her."

old lady?Lai House?

Xue Baochai was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked around and his face changed drastically: "Brother! This is not the way to our house at all, where are you going?"

"Sister... It's not that Lai everyone wants to see the situation at home, so I stopped by their house." Xue Pan was startled, and his voice lowered a lot involuntarily.

Xue Baochai didn't know that Jia Amnesty ordered the servants and maids not to leave the mansion yesterday, but she was a little dissatisfied with the dignified Xue family's uncle, who actually went around listening to a nanny's command.

But now is not the time to talk about this, she suppressed the anxiety in her heart, with a faint smile on her face, she said softly to the guard: "Brother guard, our family is a relative of the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Jia asked Mrs. Lai to take us back to the mansion to rest."

The guard's expression was unclear, and he just snorted and laughed: "My lord, you're attacking an official!"

"...Little girl brother has always been reckless, but nothing has happened to him, I beg the guard brother to be lenient and let him go this time!"

"Sister! Mom—!" Xue Pan's face was full of displeasure. Seeing that his sister was still talking to the guard in a good manner, he was even more angry from one place, shouting that he was about to lose his temper, "Our Xue family..."

"The Xue family!?" The guard's voice suddenly rose.

The four or five guards standing not far away were also taken aback, looking in their direction at the same time.

Xue Baochai and Xue Pan were startled, subconsciously took two steps back, and nervously looked at the guards in front of them.

"Imperial Merchant Xue?" An older guard stepped forward, and following his arrival, the surrounding young guards formed two rows respectfully and obediently like Moses dividing the sea.

Seeing that he was the leader, Xue Baochai and Xue Pan became more and more nervous, Xue Pan subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop Xue Baochai, and said very seriously: "Exactly."

The experienced guard looked at the appearance of the two and smiled: "It just so happens that you also follow us!"

"What—?" The expressions of the two changed at the same time, but following the guard's words, the guards beside them took a step forward at the same time, with their hands on their waists, and their eyes staring at the group of people.

Obviously if you resist, I'm afraid the sword has no eyes!

"Who are you?"

"Ah... I forgot to introduce myself, I am Mutu, and I am the leader of Xianghuangqi."

Even Xue Pan, who was no longer ignorant, was suddenly startled at this moment, and stared blankly at the people in front of him.

They were officers and soldiers with yellow flags... not the guards they thought they were.

So... why do you know about the Xue family?

But under the watchful eyes of these officers and soldiers of the Bordered Yellow Banner, Xue Pan's mother and son could not come up with any other ideas at all, not to mention them, even Lai everyone who rolled on the ground at the beginning became calm at some point, for fear of disturbing Seeing these officials directly lost their heads.

Xue Baochai and Xue Pan watched helplessly as Master Lai was dragged away by the Yamen servants of Shuntian Mansion like a dead dog.As for their luck, they were asked to return to the carriage, and even the driver was replaced.

After a while, the carriage began to move slowly, the hearts of the three of them were ups and downs in the air, the carriage was quiet, and it seemed that the carriage had been going around the city for a long time before it stopped slowly.

After a few conversations, they seemed to have passed through a city gate. Xue Pan finally couldn't bear it, and looked out without caring about the guards' scolding outside.

His face was pale, and then he turned his head resentfully, facing the surprised eyes of Xue Baochai and Mrs. Xue, he tightly closed his mouth and dared not speak.

There are guards in yellow jackets outside, this, this place...

It's the palace! !

Xue Baochai and Mrs. Xue looked at each other, seeing Xue Pan's frightened attitude, they realized more and more that the place where the carriage entered might not be a good place...

Could it be the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?

No matter what, the prison of the Ministry of punishment will not let them enter in a carriage, right?

The carriage circled around for a long time before slowly coming to a stop. Mutu yelled outside the carriage, and the three of them got out of the carriage in a panic.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Xue Baochai's eyes lit up, her heart beating extremely fast!This magnificent palace, could it be that this is the palace?

Afterwards, she found that there were quite a few carriages gathered around, and there were young men or beautiful ladies on them, all of whom were invited to get off the carriage by different guards, read the list according to gender and age, and followed different eunuchs to the distance to the palace there.

The same goes for Xue Baochai and others. After a stick of incense, she was separated from her mother and brother, and was taken into a courtyard with three entrances and exits together with nine other girls.

Inside were twenty or thirty court ladies in emerald green palace attire and five or six elderly nuns, each with a soft and gentle attitude.

A leading nun called her name, and after asking a few words, the girls whose turn was to be taken into different rooms by the maids, and occasionally one or two girls were taken out of the yard by other people.

What the hell is this going to do?

Xue Baochai lined up in the queue in a daze, and it was her turn very quickly.

"Xue Baochai."

"The girl is here."

"Do you have the habit of smoking opium or opium?"

"Huh?" Xue Baochai was taken aback.

Seeing that Xue Baochai's reaction was not right, the nanny raised her eyes and stared at her, solemnly: "Speak!"

"Minnv has seen this Fushou|ointment before. Several uncles of Minnv's family in Guangzhou once sent this thing to the capital, but Minnv's mother lit it up and smelled the smell, and thought the smell was too pungent and threw it away! "Xue Baochai looked at the eyes of the people around him, calmed down, and decided that it would be better to tell the truth.

"Oh?" The nanny lowered her head and ticked a few boxes, then called the maid, "Take her to the courtyard No. [-] next door."

The maid who was summoned responded with a smile, and told Xue Baochai to follow her closely, picked up the list, turned around and left the courtyard.

Xue Baochai followed to the door, and found that it was easy to come in and difficult to get out. There were ten strong master soldiers outside the courtyard. Without the list in the hands of the maid, they must not leave.

After walking a short distance, I came to the courtyard next door.Compared with the bustle of the courtyard in front, this place is extremely quiet, but the doctors and eunuchs and nurses who come and go in a hurry make people feel a little uneasy in their hearts.

"Grandpa Li, Madam Rong ordered the slaves to bring this." The maid who led the way led Xue Baochai to the eunuch who was sitting outside and was busy.

This person is Li Yu. He has been busy with the treatment and preparation of these addicted patients these days, and he has long been dizzy. He looked up at Xue Baochai, and said angrily: "This girl doesn't seem to have any symptoms? She should go to the ordinary room." wait here?"

"Grandpa Li!" the maid whispered, "This is a girl from the Xue family, who has smelled Fushou ointment before."

"Imperial Merchant Xue?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows, and a hint of malice flashed in his eyes, "Shouldn't their family be sent directly to the prison, and why are they sent here?"

Xue Baochai's complexion changed drastically, she took a step back abruptly, and growled in disbelief: "My father-in-law, what do you mean...?"

"What do you mean?" Li Yu smiled, "You will find out later."

After finishing speaking, he didn't bother to pay attention to Xue Baochai, and only told the two nuns standing beside him: "Take her to Room A, No. 107, so that she can be taken care of."

Xue Baochai entered the hall in a daze, and the next moment she was standing on the spot blankly, covered in hairs all over her body.

I saw that the room in front of me was divided into a dozen or so rooms, and in each room there were girls or mature women who were about her age, and many of them struggled and rolled on the beds with no manners at all, with beast-like moaning from their throats. Howl.

The nanny who led the way was used to it, and the one who knew the way took Xue Baochai through the side door into the back room and then into the back room, and the two rooms would be much better.

Although everyone's faces were gloomy, and many women were covering their faces and weeping secretly, but they still had reason, and they felt a little timid when they saw someone coming in.

"Baochai? Baochai?" There was an exclamation from inside, Xue Baochai looked up and it was indeed Mrs. Xue.She was placed in the innermost room, and the nanny raised her eyebrows, and placed Xue Baochai in the hut next to Mrs. Xue, locked the door and left in a hurry.

"Baochai, are you okay?" Mrs. Xue looked left and right, and was relieved to see that everything was fine with Xue Baochai.Looking around, Mrs. Xue's heart was full of panic: "Here, what's going on!"

Xue Baochai sat on the side of the bed peacefully. Although the room was small, there was a soft bed, and the light-colored bedding was also fragrant. It was obvious that the people who imprisoned them here had no intention of torturing them.

Just thinking of those crazy and irrational people in the outermost room, Xue Baochai's heart trembled involuntarily.

……

The atmosphere in the capital was extremely stagnant.

Mother Jia, who didn't know that Xue's mother and son turned their heads and was taken away, stared at her eldest son Jia She with a straight face, wishing to stuff him back into her stomach as if she had never seen this child!

She sat firmly on the high hall of the main house, staring blankly at a large number of servants from Shuntian Mansion pouring in from outside, and the whole Rongguo Mansion was in an endless commotion after a while.

Lai Da was dragged down first, and Shan Daliang and Wu Xindeng were dragged out of the inner courtyard without waiting for a moment.Three of the four major stewards of the Rongguo Mansion went, and only Lin Zhixiao, the steward of the big house, remained.

Not only that, some nuns and women were also dragged out, and relatives who worked as servants in the mansion were also arrested.Without a cup of tea, the courtyard in the front yard was actually full of servants kneeling all over the floor.

"Boss! What are you going to do!" Mother Jia covered her heart, her face was so pale that she almost fainted!

"What to do? It's just digging out the cancer in Rongguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, and our Jia family." Jia Amnesty lowered his eyelashes to hide the anger in his eyes, and his voice was extremely indifferent and flat.He covered up his emotions very well, and he couldn't see the anger from embarrassment when the investigation results came out two days ago!

Jia Lian, Lian'er is right.

It is better to start from scratch and wait for the day when the phoenix will be nirvana than to sit and wait for death.

When the many servants of Jia's mansion were taken away, Mother Jia was already pale with anger, and she was supported by the mandarin ducks into the back room to rest.To be honest, Yuanyang felt that the elder did the right thing this time, but Mother Jia decided that Jia Amnesty was a troublemaker, and she couldn't believe what kind of good things he could do.

She hugged Baoyu's heart and yelled a few times, and then remembered that the person who went to Bowlinghou's mansion to invite Miss Shi had not returned yet.

"Let someone ask, why didn't Ms. Shi come over?"

The boy who went out to check came back in a hurry before a cup of tea, and hurriedly shouted into Jiamu's room: "Old ancestor, something happened!"

"What's the matter?" Mother Jia was very flustered, and Yuanyang quickly put some cooling ointment on her forehead and carefully rubbed her forehead.

"Outside, there is martial law outside!"

"what--?"

The sudden martial law made the whole capital panic for a while.The bustling market at the gate of the city is now empty, and a large number of businesses have been rushed in by vicious guards, officers and soldiers, and officials from Shuntian Mansion to search them all.

Left on the street, more than 500 boxes of 'fushou ointment' were confiscated, even more than Kangxi had originally received.

Foreigners all over the capital, including those from churches, were also arrested.Many people shouted in horror.But this time, even the foreigners or missionaries who were heavily used by Kangxi in the past were all bad, and ended up in prison. They were taken into prison by ruthless officers and soldiers and awaited interrogation.

Many civilians looked at this scene in bewilderment, not understanding why the officers and soldiers wanted to raid these merchants, and the fearful and uneasy people quickly walked out of the house under the shouts of loudspeakers and gathered together.

The officers and soldiers with the bordered yellow flag and the bordered white flag commanded the order, making everyone wait in various spacious squares.

No matter if they were poor people or merchants, officials or royal families, all the people were ordered to gather in different places, and watched in a daze as the prison cars pulled people up to them.

"What is this?" Many people secretly asked in low voices.

But no one could recognize the disheveled people inside. These people were men and women, old and young. From time to time, someone exclaimed that there were familiar faces under their dirty surface.

Pulling the prison cart to various places, the officers and men in charge began to announce the news of the imperial court with their loudspeakers: "Everyone, folks and old folks! This inspection of some businesses is for the safety of the whole Qing Dynasty. These businesses are now selling a name It is a medicinal herb called 'Fushou Ointment', which is highly addictive.

Once addicted, there will be sensations such as thousands of ants biting the bones, thousands of needles piercing the heart, and thousands of blades cracking the skin. The pain is unbearable. Only by smoking again can such painful feelings be stopped!

What's more sad is that according to the verification of the Tai Hospital, long-term smoking of "Fushou Gao" is more likely to lead to frailty and sickness. In the early stage, it is easy to have a sallow complexion, thin body, blackened lips, and indifferent expression. In the late stage, it will completely lose labor force! "

Whoa-!

Following the words of the soldiers, the common people below screamed involuntarily!Weak and sick, unable to work is tantamount to a dead end!This herb has such power!

"No way? Yesterday when I went to Yihong Courtyard, Xiaodie urged me to take a look!"

"I heard about it in the restaurant!"

"Me too!"

Many people shouted in horror, and even more people were so frightened that their hands and feet became limp and slumped on the ground. Some people cried and howled and rushed towards the soldiers: "I don't want to die! I beg you to save me!"

"I don't believe it!" Someone stood up and shouted at this moment, "I've smoked it! It's as good as the sky without any discomfort!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The soldier blinked his eyes, and while signaling the surrounding soldiers to control the people who looked wrong, he comforted, "Early drug addicts can recover as long as they go through withdrawal treatment! But..."

He turned around and pointed at the dull-eyed, unresponsive patient in the prison car, with a trace of pity: "If it reaches this level, even God can't save it!"

He took out a piece of wrapped 'fushou ointment' from his bosom, and held Shigao up for the common people around to look at.Just when the common people were at a loss and didn't know what the soldiers were doing, they heard a loud noise from the prison behind them!

Afterwards, the people were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the emaciated man in the prison car, who was as thin as a skeleton, shouting crazily, stretching out his arms with almost no flesh but bones, trying desperately Go and get that piece of 'Fushou Ointment', where is the listless and sluggish look just now!

The people were silent, and the entire square became extremely quiet.

After a long time, there was a small voice: "This person... isn't the young master of the Xu family?"

The whole square suddenly became a mess.

As if he didn't hear anyone's words, the soldier took out a pipe and threw it into the prison together with the 'drug ointment'.This is like the scene where the dog owner is teasing the puppy with a meaty bone, but it makes people laugh.

All the people raised their heads, stretched their necks, looked at the peaceful expressions of the people in the prison, took a deep breath of smoke and collapsed to the ground, their whole bodies twitched and there was a faint smile on their faces.

This smile makes people feel creepy!

Soldiers have long been familiar with this kind of reaction these days.He just continued to tell the people present in a deep voice: "Fathers and elders, you have also seen the fate of this man. No matter how high or low he was in the past, how talented he is, once he meets this man, his whole life will be ruined!"

The person who just shouted that he had smoked stood on the spot with a pale face, and the people around them stepped back a few steps, staring at them with terrified eyes.

"In the entire Qing Dynasty, smoking 'fushou ointment' is not allowed. Anyone who smuggles and sells in private will be dealt with as human trafficking according to the law. Anyone who reports smoking people will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver for confirmation, and 1 taels of silver for cracking major cases! Those who confess within three days will be treated as innocent and sent to a rehab center for treatment."

The notice in red and black letters was posted on the gate of the city, and when the soldiers who were pressing the prison left, everyone surrounded the notice wall tightly. From time to time, someone looked excited and hurried towards the yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

Others, with pale faces or panicked, followed the soldiers or turned their heads and fled home.

This is the case in the capital, and the same is true in Guangzhou.
