Chapter 203: A good plot to sow discord, Zhao Changlin falls into the trap
"This Zhao Changlin is really cruel. He knows that opium is extremely harmful to humans, but he still grows it on a large scale for his own ambitions. This is simply inhumane."
Lady Xinling was indignant. She thought that "opium poison" could cause a person's morale to be corrupted and his mood to collapse. Long-term consumption would cause the body to become increasingly weak, and the dependence on "opium poison" would become stronger and stronger, until a large amount of money was spent, the entire family would fall apart, and after being unable to support themselves, the person would slowly die.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? We can't let Zhao Changlin continue to harm the people." Wang Changhao looked at Ye Feng, feeling very angry inside.
As a scholar of the Song Dynasty, he was full of righteousness and only wanted to serve the country and the people. Now, when he heard that Zhao Changlin was secretly planting "opium poison" and poisoning the people, he became even more angry.
Only Ye Feng looked calm and said, "Our most urgent task now is to find where the opium poppy that Zhao Changlin planted is, and then we will destroy it all."
"Of course, everyone must not show that everything is normal. Given Zhao Changlin's personality, if he finds out that we want to destroy the opium, he probably won't let us leave in peace."
Ye Feng knew very well in his heart that if Zhao Changlin knew that they wanted to take action on the "opium poison", he would definitely be desperate and kill them all to prevent the news from leaking out.
He, Yan Nishang and others could escape unscathed, but Wang Changhao, Su Hong and others beside him might not be able to escape alive.
"I have ordered Zhang Yan to investigate quietly and find the location where the opium poppy was planted. Then, we will slowly leave and find a way to destroy the opium poppy."
Ye Feng knew that it would take time to destroy the opium poison. If he was not careful, he and Yan Nishang would be able to leave safely, but the rest of the people would most likely be killed by Zhao Changlin.
Zhang Yan came with everyone. Not only did she have the Destruction Divine Eye, she was also the least likely to be noticed by Zhao Changlin. Moreover, he had been studying with Shen Lian for so long, and he was very skilled in investigation and tracking. Ye Feng had already sent Zhang Yan to investigate.
"According to my guess, the opium poppy poison is unlikely to be in Yunshui City." Ye Feng immediately looked at Li Shanxiao and Madam Xinling who were not far away, and said, "Once Zhang Yan has investigated thoroughly, we can find an excuse to leave Yunshui City and completely destroy the opium poppy poison that Zhao Changlin picked and planted."
Ye Feng knew very well that if Zhao Changlin's opium was destroyed, he would lose his huge economic support, and the entire Changlin County would inevitably fall into a very difficult situation.
Along the way, Ye Feng will destroy all the places in Changlin County responsible for selling "opium drugs". By that time, Zhao Changlin will be defeated.
……
In the study room of Lord Changlin’s residence.
Zhao Changlin sat upright in the chair, his face not looking good, especially after knowing that Ye Feng had investigated the "opium drug". He knew very well that if he lost the economic support of the "opium drug", he would never be able to grow and develop in Changlin County.
"General Wu, Changlin Jun is waiting for you inside."
Wu Jie followed Zhao Changlin's guards to the study room. He slowly opened the door and walked inside. When he saw Zhao Changlin, he vaguely guessed that Zhao Changlin's visit to him was most likely related to my Ye Feng's visit to his mansion. He asked, "My lord, summon me. What do you want me to do?"
"Hey... General Wu, please take a seat." Zhao Changlin smiled when he saw Wu Jie coming. He walked to Wu Jie and helped him sit in the seat next to him. He also sat next to Wu Jie and said, "General Wu, we have known each other for nearly 30 years, right?"
"My lord, if you calculate the time, I have been in Yunshui City for twenty-eight years." The scar on Wu Jie's face moved up and down as he spoke slowly, and there was no sign of his emotions changing.
"Alas... Time really flies by, and in the blink of an eye we have all become half-old men, with unfulfilled ambitions." Zhao Changlin was very emotional, sighed, and then changed the subject, saying: "General Wu has been in charge of training the Changlin Army, and has worked hard. I know that the general has worked very hard, so I decided to appoint you as the Tiger General of Changlin County. As long as you achieve great things in the future, you will be a key minister in the world, and you will definitely be granted a title of nobility and appointed as a general in the future."
"Thank you very much, my lord, for your kindness. I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Wu Jie made up his mind secretly. He thought Zhao Changlin would be suspicious of him, but he didn't expect that the other party did not say a word and still trusted him so much. He felt secretly guilty in his heart that he should not have wavered in his mind. He stood up and bowed to Zhao Changlin.
"Well! No need to be polite. I see your loyalty." Zhao Changlin looked calm. He first gave Wu Jie a candy, then said, "Your wife has been with the general all these years. The love between you two is stronger than gold. I and your wife deeply admire it. My wife has been friends with her for a long time. You also know that I am busy with official duties and have neglected my wife. She has been lacking someone to talk to recently. I wonder what General Wu thinks?"
After listening to this, Wu Jie's guilt towards Zhao Changlin just now disappeared. He never expected that Zhao Changlin would transfer his thoughts to his wife Rong Li, obviously wanting to use Rong Li to threaten him.
Wu Jie knew very well that the person he owed the most in his life was his wife. Ever since he was castrated, his wife Rong Li had followed him without complaint or regret, and had lived as a widow for so many years at such a young age without complaint or regret. Even if he died, he would not let Rong Li suffer any grievances.
Now Zhao Changlin actually wanted to use Rong Li's life to threaten him, which undoubtedly made him completely disappointed.
"Why? General, are you not willing?"
When Zhao Changlin saw that Wu Jie did not answer immediately, the murderous intent in his eyes flashed away. He secretly weighed the matter in his heart and thought that if Wu Jie had no evil intentions, he would have agreed to his request without hesitation.
"My lord, what are you saying? It is my honor to serve Madam Xiao. But I have always been clumsy. I am afraid that I will not be able to serve Madam Xiao well, let alone accompany her." Wu Jie wanted to refuse politely.
Zhao Changlin laughed, walked to Wu Jie, and patted Wu Jie on the shoulder: "What are you talking about? We have known each other for many years. How could I bear to let your wife serve Madam Xiao? Don't worry, I just want to find someone for her to talk to. You don't have to worry."
"In that case, I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my wife." Wu Jie knew very well that if he continued to refuse, Zhao Changlin would only become more suspicious. Based on his understanding of Zhao Changlin, he would most likely capture Rong Li and threaten him instead of speaking nicely to him.
"That's right! We have been together for so many years, there is no need to be so formal. I am counting on General Wu to lead the Changlin Army to conquer all directions in the future!" Zhao Changlin laughed, and there was no suspicion in his expression, but his words were full of kindness and force, and there were threats at all times.
"If there is nothing else, General Wu, please go back to your residence and say goodbye to Madam Ling. I will personally arrange for a sedan chair to be outside the General's residence to welcome Madam Ling."
Zhao Changlin said slowly to Wu Jie.
"I will retire at the end!"
Wu Jie had completely given up on Zhao Changlin, and he understood that Zhao Changlin had been prepared. If he flatly refused, the guards waiting outside the general's mansion would forcibly take Rong Li away to threaten him.
He turned and walked out of the study, and couldn't help but laugh at himself. How could he not know Zhao Changlin's character? He just thought that after following him for so many years, how could he not have even the most basic trust? On second thought, Zhao Changlin didn't even trust his own son Zhao Gou, so how could he trust him, a general who was once loyal to the Song Dynasty?
