seeing is believing.

When the imperial physician really detected the smell of poppies from the soup base of Wang's hot pot restaurant, and saw the stray cats in the palace after eating opium and tablets, they really had all kinds of "poisoning" that Fu Li said After the symptoms, the queen immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

After Fu Li told the Queen about the abnormalities of the guests at the Wang Family Hot Pot Restaurant, she understood why Fu Li appeared in the palace today.

The queen's eyes were full of ice: "You mean, this so-called Wang's hot pot restaurant is opened by the granddaughter-in-law of Jia's family?"

Because the former wife of Rong Guo, Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Jia, has not passed away, so the ranking of seniority always starts from Jia Shi's family.Wang Xifeng married Jia Lian, and Jia Lian was indeed Jia Shi's grandson, so...

Fu Li nodded: "The Wang's hot pot restaurant was originally owned by the Zhao family, and was later given to the Wang family as a dowry. After this Wang's daughter married Jia Lian, she opened such a restaurant within a few days. The name is not called Wangjia Hotpot Restaurant, but Zhoujia Hotpot Restaurant. The customers at the beginning of the hotpot restaurant probably all came from my Zhougong Hotpot Restaurant. If it weren’t for this, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have noticed the popularity of this restaurant. abnormal."

But in the same way, this store will not attract so many customers in the beginning, let alone harm so many people.

When Fu Li thought of those guests who were harmed by Wang Xifeng with such insidious means, he couldn't help feeling disgusted with her to a higher level.

The Wang Xifeng in the original book is enough to make people hate, but because of Jia Lian's greedy and lustful, and the tragic ending of "crying to Jinling is even sadder", she has a layer of tragedy, which also makes her look less pleasing Disgusting, and even faintly sympathetic.

But after traveling to the world of Red Mansions and experiencing Wang Xifeng's methods face to face, even thinking about what happened to her in the future, it is impossible to feel sympathy for her again.

This woman's heart is really ruthless, and she has always used all means to achieve her goals.

Thinking of this, Fu Li was stunned for a moment, because from the perspective of the original work, Wang Xifeng has always done things with a purpose.This time she took the risk of offending herself to open such a hot pot restaurant. Is it really just to make money?

Although the homes of the four major families were confiscated, several women still left part of the dowry. A young widowed woman like Li Wan was even more fortunate to keep all the dowry.

Although Wang Xifeng loves power, he is only greedy for the power of the butler of the back house, and has no great interest in the outside world.

What's more, she came out to open a shop only a few days after she was newly married.

Fu Li always felt that something happened after Wang Xifeng married into Jia's family.But thinking about Jia Min's objection to Jia Lian's marriage to Wang Xifeng before, but he still married her back home, thinking about it, even if he can't control his lower body, he should have a sweet relationship with Wang Xifeng during the wedding period.What happened in the Jia family should have nothing to do with Jia Lian.

Fu Li thought about it, and couldn't help but sneered.

She is also too kind, no matter what happens to Wang Xifeng at Jia's house, it is not the reason for her to use poppy shells to harm others, so she should not find a reasonable explanation for Wang Xifeng's behavior here.

The queen didn't notice the change in Fu Li's eyes, and she was absorbed in what Fu Li said just now: "You mean, the Wang's hot pot restaurant probably didn't plan to do business well at the beginning, but wanted to use poppies to keep it. guest?"

Fu Li nodded: "If she really intends to do a good job in business, there's no reason why the hot pot base in the store is so rough, and she doesn't show her intentions at all."

Before she opened her own shop, she not only had to carefully investigate the tastes of the local people, and then change the ratio of seasonings and ingredients based on the results of the investigation, but what about Wang Xifeng?It was just a rough copy of the recipe ingredients in her store, but she didn't even want to try the ingredients carefully, so she put them in the store for sale.

How is this the way of a boss who wants to do business well?Isn't she afraid of losing money?

The queen felt reasonable: "It is true."

Before Emperor Yonghe came to the throne, although she mostly just took over the businesses that Emperor Yonghe had worked hard for, it was not that she did not open a store by herself.Even a concubine with a wealth of wealth like her is also cautious before opening a store, for fear that if something is not done well, the store will not only not make money, but lose money instead?

Before Wang Xifeng opened this hot pot restaurant, it seemed that he hadn't made any preparations at all. He just saw that the business of Zhougong Hotpot Restaurant was booming, so he rashly followed suit and opened a hotpot restaurant with a very similar name to Zhougong Hotpot Restaurant.

If Wang Xifeng was an uninformed person, she could still be said to be greedy for profit by doing this, and she couldn't care about anything else.

But is she?Even if the Wang family's house was ransacked, before the house was ransacked, Wang Xifeng's life was made of gold and jade, how could she be ignorant?

Besides, it's not that she doesn't know Fu Li's identity.

So there is only one explanation for her doing this, that is, from the very beginning, Wang Xifeng wanted to attract the customers of Zhou Gong Hot Pot Restaurant to her own store with a store name similar to that of Zhou Gong Hot Pot Restaurant, and then rely on poppy shells to attract these customers. Stay, and then take the opportunity to make a name for yourself and attract more guests.

Thinking about it this way, the queen felt that Wang Xifeng's heart could be punished.

Soon, Fu Li left and went home, but after thinking about it, the queen got up and went to find Emperor Yonghe

Although looking at it now, the business of the hot pot restaurant is not as hot as Zhou Gong's hot pot restaurant, and the money it makes is not particularly large, and the victims of the common people will not alarm Emperor Yonghe. After the common people are addicted, even the continuation of the family is not enough to make them feel happy every day.

They didn't care about going to the Wang's hotpot restaurant for consumption. After getting the news that all the savings in the family had been taken out, they always felt that the potential harm of this opium poppy and the opium and tablets used to treat diseases before was enough. Let Emperor Yonghe pay attention.

Sure enough, after the queen told Emperor Yonghe about this, Emperor Yonghe almost immediately put down all the government affairs at hand, and immediately ordered people to bring many animals from the cat and dog room in the palace, and let people follow Fu Li's orders. It is said that all the poppies, crows, and tablets collected in the palace were set ablaze, and then let those animals suck them.

Emperor Yonghe and others hid far away, and they were in an open place, so they would not inhale any smoke at all.

At the beginning, those animals were fascinated, as if poppies, crows, and tablets were good things, but after Emperor Yonghe ordered an increase in the dosage, all the animals gradually began to have adverse reactions, and many animals even began to convulse In the end, he foamed at the mouth and fell directly to the ground.

The most frightening thing is that even though these animals fell to the ground, they still subconsciously ran after the ignited smell of poppies and crows.

Presently some of the smaller animals jerked violently, kicked their legs, and died.

Emperor Yonghe trembled all over when he saw it, and hurriedly asked people to take away the opium, flakes and poppies.

Because I heard from Fu Li that crows, tablets and poppies are also addictive, so Emperor Yonghe ordered these animals to be brought down to raise them well, and observe the performance of these animals by the way. Give them another inhalation at the same time every day, and then stay and watch...

so back and forth.

On the fifth day, Emperor Yonghe ordered that the opium, flakes, and poppies be cut off again to see if these things were really addictive to animals.

Emperor Yonghe originally wanted to stay there to observe by himself, but he was busy with official duties after all, and although Fu Li said the matter was serious, Emperor Yonghe had never seen it with his own eyes, so he naturally didn't want to let go of all government affairs because of this matter. Just to come here and wait for a result, so I asked the queen to watch over there, not to let the servants in the palace cheat, and I went back to the imperial study to correct the memorial.

Unexpectedly, not long after the time was up, the little eunuch in the cat and dog room came to Eunuch Su with a face of panic and reported that those animals did not smell the smell of opium, flakes and poppies and went crazy on the spot, in front of everyone. Just like crazy and started biting and fighting around maniacally

If the queen hadn't believed in Fu Li's words and ordered all the animals to be put in cages in advance, the eunuchs in the palace might not be able to control so many crazy animals.

It's a pity that those animals that were locked in the same cage suffered heavy casualties in the process of fighting each other.

The animal that survived in the end was obviously wounded all over, but it also made people watch without any emotions other than fear.

Because even if it doesn't have a piece of good meat all over its body, it still barks non-stop towards the outside of the cage, and even bites the iron cage with its claws and teeth as if it doesn't know the pain. Googo looked at the eunuch who had been lighting opium, flakes and poppies for them before, as if the eunuch would rush out of the cage if the eunuch didn't ignite the smoke he inhaled for it yesterday.

Those eyes made the people outside feel cold all over, and they didn't dare to look at them at all.

It wasn't until the few remaining animals fell to the ground exhausted that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The little eunuch who was in charge of the experiment was so scared that he didn't dare to go to the side of the cage to check the situation.

But this kind of thing has always been a deadly fellow Taoist but not a poor man. He is unwilling to go, and his colleagues and superiors in the palace will urge him to go. If he doesn't go, I'm afraid it will not end well in the future.

In the end, the little eunuch walked to the iron cage step by step because he saw that the animals had been tossed and exhausted, and it was absolutely impossible to hurt him again.

Almost every step forward, the little eunuch would stop for a step, worried that those animals were cheating their deaths.

All the time, those animals seemed to have really exhausted their strength and did not respond to his approach at all. Who would have thought that when his hand touched the iron cage, the lock on the iron cage shook because of his movement, and when it touched the iron cage The pillars made a clanging sound...

"Roar"

A huge black bear suddenly got up from the ground and threw itself directly in front of the little eunuch.

"Ah" the little eunuch screamed, turned around and ran away in horror, how could he remember that there was the queen and others watching behind him?

After running two steps, I heard the black bear let out an unwilling roar, and then fell to the ground again with a bang...

The little eunuch looked back and was sure that the black bear was just looking back, and didn't really have any strength, so he slumped on the ground.

Too scary!

Not to mention the little eunuch who had personally experienced all this, even the empress, who had never changed her face before Mount Tai collapsed, had a pale face at this time, obviously frightened by the sudden situation just now.

At this time, a notification came from outside: "The emperor is here!"

Everyone stood up to greet each other.

Emperor Yonghe quickly waved his hands to let everyone fall flat, while he himself looked at the iron cages where the animals were closed, and he was not afraid to walk towards the iron cages at all.

The queen was taken aback, and quickly stopped her: "The emperor is in danger, please stop!"

Emperor Yonghe was still willing to listen to what the queen said.

Although he really wanted to get close to those iron cages, there was indeed a certain risk in getting so close, so he paused, and finally took a step back.

"Queen, tell me, what happened before?"

The queen was eloquent, and she had no intention of hiding anything. She simply described everything that happened before in words that made Emperor Yonghe feel like she was on the scene, and then looked at Emperor Yonghe with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, it seems that this opium is harmful to animals. The harm caused by them is greater, but opium itself is also made of poppies, so the concubine feels that it is better to strictly control the poppies, so as not to be used by people to do bad things in the future. These animals are not yet enlightened. The reaction is all instinctive, and there is nothing to be afraid of if there is a cage closed, but what if the person who smoked opium or pills is a person? What if someone wants to use opium or pills to control a high-ranking minister?"

The queen only raised two possibilities, but Emperor Yonghe's face was already so dark that ink dripped out.He understood the Queen's unfinished words almost immediately: What if someone wants to use this opium to manipulate him, the emperor?

Even if Emperor Yonghe was full of self-confidence and felt that he would never be controlled by such harmful things, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall

And why would he put himself in such danger?

He is the emperor, the king of a country in Great Xia, and his status is much more valuable than ordinary people. If he is manipulated by others, the harm he may cause is much more serious.It is not impossible to even destroy the country because of this.

Emperor Yonghe's eyes sank: "Wang's hotpot restaurant? Wang's daughter?"

The queen nodded: "That is indeed the case. However, my majesty, I suggest that you ask someone to investigate again. Then from whom did the Wang's daughter know the effect of this poppy. It is reasonable for the Wang's daughter to be a boudoir girl. Those who have no access to such things as poppies, even if it is a battle in the back house, the concubines have never heard of anyone using similar methods. If they don't find out who taught Wang's daughter to do this, I am afraid that there will be another one in the future. The second, the third... or even countless Wang's hot pot restaurants, I'm afraid it will be irreparable..."

Emperor Yonghe knew that the empress was not alarmist. If there was indeed someone behind the Wang's daughter secretly instructing her to do this, if this person was not found out, who would know if he would use this thing to teach another person in the future?Even, why is it impossible for him to secretly use poppies to achieve his ulterior purpose?

He nodded solemnly: "Queen, don't worry, I will let people find out whether there is a mastermind behind this incident."

The emperor and the empress waited in full battle, wondering if there was any hidden story behind this matter, and even guessed whether it was a secret conspiracy for the enemy country in order to weaken the national power of Daxia. There is a lot of "fuck" left that I want to say

He and the queen guessed so much, but the final result was that Wang Xifeng had indeed known about the addictive effect of the poppy from someone else, but this person was none other than Wang Xifeng's new husband, Jia Lian.

And why Jia Lian knew the effect of poppies is even simpler, because before he got married, he often lingered in the place of fireworks, and things with certain hallucinogenic effects, such as poppies, opium, and tablets, were most likely to be used in such places to achieve certain goals. some purposes

However, many people who go to places such as Fireworks and Willow Lane in the capital are of noble status, even if they are not noble, they often have a few prominent relatives, so they can't afford to offend them easily.Even if people in those places used things like opium and opiates for their guests, they never dared to use them too much, let alone used them too frequently to make them addicted.Otherwise, if the family members of these sons and daughters know about it and call them, a place like them will not be able to bear the revenge, and if the benefits are not reaped by then, it may close down.

It is not surprising that Jia Lian would know.

But even if Jia Lian didn't pay much attention to it, it was impossible for him to tell the jealous Wang Xifeng about such things in person, wouldn't he?Wang Xifeng would know, and even used this kind of thing in the store with great fanfare, but it was because of jealousy and anger with Jia Lian

Not long after the two got married, it was the time when the honey was mixed with oil, and when the focus was inseparable from Mengmeng, there would not be any conflicts.Unexpectedly, the two people in the house before Jia Lian's marriage did not know Wang Xifeng's temper, and were worried that they would be left out, so they even winked at Jia Lian when they greeted her.That Jia Lian couldn't control herself, she actually had evil thoughts...

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng immediately became angry, and said on the spot that he would send out the two people in the house.

If Wang Xifeng had the backing of Wang Ziteng like in the original book, or had a good family background, wouldn't it be easy for her to send the two servant girls out of the Jia family?Jia Lian didn't even dare to quarrel with her, but now the situation is not the same as in the original book. Wang Xifeng was able to marry into Jia's family according to the previous marriage contract because of Jia Lian's insistence. How could she have enough confidence in front of Jia Lian?

Of course Jia Lian did not agree.

A newlywed couple started arguing within a few days of their marriage.

Wang Xifeng's mouth has always been unforgiving, so how can Jia Lian be her opponent?After a few words, Wang Xifeng couldn't speak, and was so angry that he walked away. Before leaving, he was so angry that he told about his past visits to the place of fireworks and willow alley, and even said by mistake that he wanted to give Wang Xifeng Take opium and tablets, so that she will be obedient in the future, and tell her to go east and dare not go west.

The Wang's hot pot restaurant opened in such a hurry, although it also has the intention of making money, but the more important reason is that Wang Xifeng wants to try whether the opium and slices are really like what Jia Lian said, after eating, they will be addicted, and then they will be obedient obedient.

If the effect is true...

According to the information found by Emperor Yonghe, Wang Xifeng has already started to feed Jia Lian some food with added ingredients during this period, and Jia Lian may have already developed an addiction reaction.

It is said that Jia Lian would definitely return to Wang Xifeng's room before dinner time during this period, rain or shine, and never left behind.
