The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 588: The Cigarette House

There were two female guards following behind them, making a total of four people. Zhong Ling and Su Yuqing went to the other two cities of the five coastal cities, while Chu Yan'er was in charge of Yongning Prefecture.

Hearing Chu Xiaoya's words, a cold light flashed in Chu Yan'er's eyes.

No wonder opium was able to occupy the entire Yuezhou in a short period of time. With a governor like Fu Weimin in place, who would dare to intervene in this matter?

However, I don’t know whether Fu Weimin will be involved. If Fu Weimin is involved, things will become a little troublesome.

You must know that Fu Weimin is now the governor of a continent. He is a powerful figure and a senior official of the highest rank.

Although the officialdom of Dayan is undergoing reform and the ranks of officials are also undergoing reform, even if the reform is continued, Fu Weimin is still considered a provincial governor.

Moreover, Fu Weimin's current status was given by Jiang Fan. If Fu Weimin was involved in this matter, I'm afraid Jiang Fan had chosen the wrong person this time.

"Does Fu Weimin know about this?" Chu Yan'er asked Chu Xiaoya.

Chu Xiaoya shook her head when she heard that.

"The news sent back by the Royal Guards so far is that Fu Weimin probably didn't know about this, and it was his brother who did it under his name."

Chu Yan'er nodded when she heard this. The intelligence from the Jinyiwei should be very accurate. Moreover, Fu Weimin was chosen by Jiang Fan, so his character should be trustworthy.

But Fu Weimin must indeed be held responsible for this matter, and I am afraid that he will no longer be able to serve as the governor of Yuezhou.

"In addition to Fu Weide, are there any other officials' relatives involved?" Chu Yan'er continued to ask.

"Yes... Xi Guanglu, the military commander of Yuezhou, is also involved... Not only that, the prefects of various cities have relatives involved." Chu Xiaoya continued.

As soon as she said this, Chu Yan'er's eyes became even colder.

She couldn't help but admire the person in the dark. In order to make it easier for them to act, they actually dragged a lot of officials into it.

With these officials around, no one would be able to control their opium business in the coastal areas, if Jiang Fan hadn't discovered the clues on the Japanese island.

It is estimated that once the incident happens, the situation may become uncontrollable. Even if these people can be caught in one fell swoop, it will cause huge losses to Dayan itself.

Moreover, once opium completely entered Dayan, even if they wanted to ban smoking, there would still be many people who would take the risk. In the end, it would become a long-term struggle.

Chu Yan'er looked at the opium den in front of her, the coldness in her eyes intensified, and the murderous intent in her eyes reached its peak.

At this moment, the door of the tobacco shop in front was suddenly opened, and a thin figure was thrown out.

The thin figure immediately crawled over, he looked to be about thirty years old, but at this moment, his eyes were hollow and the big dark circles under his eyes made him look like a terminally ill person.

He grabbed the legs of one of the servants and pleaded, "Master, let me take one more puff, just one puff... I'll agree to whatever you want. Oh, by the way... I have a pair of children, my son is eight years old, and my daughter is fourteen years old. I'll sell them to you... Okay!"

As he pleaded, several waiters in the opium den dressed as servants looked at each other and a light lit up in their eyes.

"Is that so? Then bring the person to me. As long as you bring him, I will definitely let you suck your fill!" One of the servants touched his chin, his face full of amusement.

The thin man was overjoyed when he heard this. He said quickly, "I'll go right away. You can wait for me...wait for me..."

Then, the man got up and ran to the side in a flash. Although he stumbled as he ran, his face was filled with excitement.

Seeing this, Chu Xiaoya's face was filled with anger, and the two female guards were also filled with anger. Chu Yan'er's eyes were filled with anger.

Today's Great Yan is not a prosperous country, but it is developing towards prosperity. Selling children has long been banned. Even slavery has been abolished.

But the opium den in front of us was doing this blatantly, which showed how lawless these people were.

What made her even more angry was that this opium really was just as Jiang Fan said, it destroyed people's will and physical health, and turned a good person into a devil.

If things like this continue in Dayan, I'm afraid the entire Dayan will be destroyed.

Thinking that the people who made these things were Hebrew people, Chu Yan'er's murderous intent reached its peak. These Hebrew people were simply the cancer of humanity.

For their own benefit, they do things that harm all of humanity. Such people do not deserve to live!

"Have the people from the Inspection Department arrived?" Chu Yan'er looked towards the tobacco shop in front of her, her voice a little colder.

"The people have arrived. We have already investigated Fu Weide and the related personnel. We can arrest them at any time and catch them all in one fell swoop! According to what the young lady said, we deliberately gave them time. By the way, we will also catch the related personnel in Yongning Mansion!"

Chu Xiaoya said quickly.

Chu Yan'er nodded after hearing this and waved her hand, saying, "Let's start..."

Chu Xiaoya waved her hand to one side, and soon, dozens of people in official uniforms appeared on the side. They were wearing the official uniforms of the Inspection Department.

Chu Yan'er came to Yongning Prefecture in plain clothes, and the white-robed soldiers she brought with her were under the guise of an imperial inspection.

Therefore, the entire Yongning Prefecture did not know that Princess Qin had come to ban smoking.

As the officials from the Inspection Bureau appeared, they rushed to the opium den in front of them as fast as they could. At the same time, fireworks instantly rose into the sky.

Countless people from the Inspection Department suddenly appeared outside the seven opium dens in Yongning Prefecture, and they surrounded the dens as quickly as possible.

The people from the Inspection Bureau rushed into the opium den and arrested the owner and the waiters in the den as quickly as possible, and even seized the opium.

In front of the largest opium den in Yongning Prefecture, Chu Yan'er watched as the people from the Inspection Office drove everyone out of the den and arrested the waiters and the manager.

The arrested clerk and the shopkeeper were filled with anger and were cursing.

"Who are you? How dare you arrest us? We are the Governor's men." The shopkeeper looked proud.

When the people around saw the opium den being closed, they were filled with joy, even though opium had only been operating in Yongning Prefecture for a few months.

However, in the past few months, countless families have been destroyed, but when they reported the case to the government, no one dared to intervene.

Now, even though they saw someone arresting the people in the opium den, they were still somewhat worried.

After all, the people behind the smoking den were too powerful. They were worried that this matter would end up in nothing.

While the shopkeeper was cursing, Fu Weide was also caught from the opium den. Fu Weide showed an arrogant look on his face and looked at the people who were arresting him with a mocking expression.

He was brought to Chu Yan'er. At this time, Chu Yan'er and the other three were dressed in men's clothes, so Fu Weide couldn't tell their identities.
