Practice Remembering You

What we need to deal with now is the matter concerning the Immortal Flower in the city.

It was late at night and ordinary people were fast asleep, so the officials had to get up tomorrow morning to talk about it.

In order to avoid wasting this time, Zhang Yu planned to go to the city first to observe and see the condition of those who had consumed the Immortal Flower.

Arriving at the place in the city where the pure true energy is the weakest, one can smell a very pungent odor as soon as one arrives here.

The smell is very sour, and there is also the smell of cat urine fermenting at the base of the wall, which is very unpleasant.

There was a snoring sound in the remote and narrow alley, indicating that there were people inside. Zhang Yu used the lighting technique to condense a light ball that was not too bright (to prevent it from being too bright and waking up these people).

With the light, Zhang Yu saw the scene inside. Every half meter or so in the alley, there was a person lying on the ground.

Each of them looked drunk and dreaming, lying on the street like rotten meat.

Their eyes were lifeless and bloodshot, they smelled foul, their skin was covered with sores, their clothes were dirty, some were torn, and the dirt was almost mixed into the clothes. They didn't even bother to brush off the dust.

There were also some women with disheveled hair and big bellies, leaning against the wall with their eyes rolled back, holding smoldering ecstasy flowers in their hands, and constantly inhaling the smoke from the burning flowers.

It's not just this alley, there are more or less such people in every alley, and you can occasionally see such people on the street.

The scene here is shocking, like hell on earth. Although there is no bloody killing, this kind of decadent and corrupt appearance is equally terrifying. Just one look at Zhang Yu made up his mind, this Yuxian Flower must be banned!

Now thinking back to the official documents, those officials who promoted the goodness of something like the Flower of Ecstasy have now been imprisoned in Zhang Yu's heart. There is no need to think about it. No matter from which angle, their behavior is not objectionable and they cannot promote something as harmful as the Flower of Ecstasy.

At tomorrow's meeting, if these officials cannot give Zhang Yu a clear answer, then they will not just be imprisoned, but will face execution!

After learning the basic situation, Zhang Yu went back. This time he did not fly back directly at the fastest speed, but flew to the height of the roof and flew over the houses of various people. He wanted to randomly see how profound the impact of the Immortal Flower was on ordinary families.

As a result, during the flight, it was discovered that the ecstasy flowers had begun to invade the ordinary world.

His route was relatively close to the City Lord's Mansion, and there were not many houses on the road, only about two thousand or so. However, among these two thousand or so households, Zhang Yu smelled the scent of the Immortal Flower in eighty houses. The situation was very critical, and it was urgent to deal with the matter!

next day

Before the sun had even completely risen, Zhang Yu ordered all the city officials to come to the meeting hall. (This was specially arranged by Zhang Yu for the convenience of handling large-scale government affairs, and the location is next to the city lord's mansion.)

Two hours later, all the officials who were supposed to come had arrived, but Zhang Yu and Mo Xue had not appeared yet.

In the hall, many officials were thinking about their own affairs and whispering to each other, trying to find out from each other why the city lord had summoned all the officials this time.

But everyone was obviously called together suddenly, and the city lord did not tell any officials beforehand, so everyone was confused.

However, some officials had a hunch that the city lord was going to deal with the issue of the Immortal Flower in the city, but it was only a guess and they dared not make a conclusion.

The hall was getting a little noisy when Zhang Yu and Mo Xue came in.

When the officials saw the city lord and his wife arrive, they immediately quieted down and saluted in unison.

Zhang Yuhe and his wife sat in the main seat: "There is only one thing to discuss at this meeting, which is that some time ago, everyone jointly reported the matter about the Yuxian Flower. Now I would like to ask everyone what they think about this matter."

At this time, everyone didn't know what the city lord was thinking, and some of them were hesitant to say it.

Just when Zhang Yu wanted to name someone and let him start, an official who was against the appearance of the Immortal Flower in the city stood up and said firmly: "Lord City Lord, the Immortal Flower cannot be allowed to exist in the area under your jurisdiction!

These things are purely harmful to people, and can turn the people in the city into neither human nor ghost. It doesn't take long, in just such a short time since the Yuxian Flower came to the city, some of the more serious areas have already turned into a hell on earth!

If it takes longer, I'm afraid the disease will be too serious to be saved."

Once the first person speaks up, just like the broken windows effect, others will feel comfortable following suit.

Opposing voices emerged, and an official also stood up: "Master Ping, what you said is really alarmist. It is true that the flower of ecstasy is bad for people after being inhaled, but have you ever paid close attention to who are the people who inhale these things?

They are all unemployed vagrants in Little Rock, some gangsters and scoundrels. They usually do not bring any benefits to the whole society. They only disturb the public and affect the normal economic cycle.

Now after they have inhaled the flower of ecstasy, they will be very quiet when absorbing it, and the previous merchants will not be disturbed by them, and the economic situation is much better.

As merchants' businesses improve, the city's fiscal revenue will improve, which will bring in more taxes.

Moreover, those hooligans and rogues have little money. In order to obtain the flowers of the celestial being, they will force themselves to work in exchange for money. In this way, waste can be utilized and the construction of Little Rock City will be better. "

As soon as these words came out, the flower ban faction was so angry that their heads were filled with blood. One of the officials stood up, pointed at the other person's face and cursed: "You are so motivated by money that you have lost even the most basic conscience! The harm of the flower of ecstasy is not as trivial as you say!

They are all scoundrels, what do you expect them to do? After they smoke, they will only become crazier.

Before, they were still rational and would hide when they saw our patrolmen, but now? After sucking the blood, they dared to attack directly!

How many cases have there been? Besides, who told you that only those idle people in society smoke ecstasy flowers? Now it has expanded to many ordinary people who also smoke that thing!

Once they start taking drugs, it is very difficult to quit. It is like entering a deep quagmire and they cannot pull themselves out.

From the bottom to the common people, and from the common people upwards, everything will be assimilated slowly, and they will absorb the immortal flower all the way. By then, the whole Little Rock City will become a rotten city!"

The discussion between the two sides was very intense. Mo Xue wanted to say something at this time, but when she saw Zhang Yu sitting in the main seat very silently, not saying a word, just looking at everyone with a bad expression, as if waiting for something, she didn't say anything.

After arguing for a long time, the two groups stopped arguing when they found that Zhang Yu did not respond at all.

Seeing that both parties had stopped, Zhang Yu looked at Mo Xue and said, "Madam, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"It must be banned!" Mo Xue said with certainty, "I saw some officials say that the flower of ecstasy has benefits, but to be honest, I don't see the benefits of the flower of ecstasy at all.

I only see disadvantages. My idea is to completely ban this product and stop its circulation. First, tell the caravans not to import this product. If they import it again after being told, they will be subject to criminal law and be arrested. "

"But now many people in the city have become dependent on it. If it is banned rashly, it may cause riots..." said the official who thought it should be legalized.

"After he becomes addicted, should we just let him continue to degenerate like this? He is a citizen of the city, and we are their parents. Continuing to let him indulge himself is a serious irresponsibility for their lives and safety!

I think what the City Lord's wife said is right. What we need to do now is to stop the pain in time and cut off the flowers of ecstasy. Cutting them off now will only make them uncomfortable for a while, and then they will return to normal.

If you continue to let them degenerate like this, there will be no hope for the entire Little Rock City!" Before Mo Xue could speak, someone who opposed her directly scolded her.
