The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine

Moreover, this is not a big deal. It is just a newly emerged fruit. Even if it is banned completely, it will not affect many people.

The reason why he didn't agree immediately was that Tang Zonglun also wanted to see what the so-called opium was good for, and on the other hand, he felt that Wen Liuli was making a big fuss. It was just a fruit, so what if it was poisonous? There were more than tens of thousands of poisonous things in the world.

Over the next two days, the entire imperial city was searching for the poppy and the merchant who sold it.

But what was unexpected was that the merchant seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Even with the assistance of the government and Prince Wen's palace, no trace of the merchant was found.

And they did not gain nothing in the past two days. For example, Tang Tianling's men accidentally discovered a new type of tobacco in a tobacco shop in the imperial city.

When Tang Tianling heard the news, he was furious. I asked you to find someone, but why are you looking for someone else's opium shop?

"Are you craving for cigarettes? If you want to smoke, just go ahead! What the hell!"

"What does it have to do with you if the tobacco shop is doing well..."

As he was speaking, Tang Tianling seemed to suddenly think of something, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

"You just said that the tobacco shops in the entire imperial city are doing better at the same time?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Recently, the business of the tobacco shops in the Imperial City has increased several times more than before. Some people even stay there all day long after entering."

Hearing this, Tang Tianling's brows immediately frowned. This was a bit problematic.

It stands to reason that a store’s business will be extremely hot after it has new products, but it would be a bit strange if all stores were doing well at the same time.

And it is said that new tobacco products have been launched, which is quite intriguing.

Aren't new products usually kept to themselves? How could anyone share them? There are only so many smokers in the imperial city. Even if the business is good, it won't be good for all the smoking shops.

Everyone knows that if one business is doing well, another business will be poor if the number of customers is certain. If all businesses are doing well, it can only mean one thing, that is, the number of smokers has increased.

But how did the number of smokers increase in such a short period of time?

"Keep investigating! We must find out why these tobacco shops are doing so well."

"Fang Lin, come with me to the Wuwang Mansion!"

Wen Liuli has been behaving abnormally lately, and it seems that even the Emperor is supporting her behind the scenes. The entire government is looking for that merchant and a fruit called poppy.

However, Tang Tianling had no idea what this poppy was, and why it was worth Wen Liuli making such a fuss.

An hour later, the puzzled Tang Tianling and his bodyguard Fang Lin walked into the Prince Wu's Palace.

Wen Liuli was worried sick at this time. She couldn't find the whereabouts of the vendor in the past two days, and she couldn't find where the poppy came from. But this thing has already appeared. It is a time bomb that may explode at any time.

But now Wen Liuli doesn’t even know where the bomb is buried, let alone how to defuse it.

"Sixth Brother! Did you find the vendor?"

Seeing Tang Tianling coming, Wen Liuli hurriedly went up to him, grabbed Tang Tianling and asked.

"I didn't find it, Wang Sao, I have something to ask you."

"what's up?"

Hearing that Tang Tianling was not found either, Wen Liuli became even more anxious.

"The poppy you are looking for is related to tobacco?"

"tobacco?"

Hearing this, Wen Liuli's pupils suddenly shrank and his heart trembled violently.

If you must say it, opium is meant to be smoked.

"Do you have any clues?"

After a long time, Wen Liuli's eyes became serious and he looked at Tang Tianling and asked.

Hearing her words, Tang Tianling told her the news he had just received. Hearing that the tobacco shop in the imperial city's business was suddenly booming, Wen Liuli's heart skipped a beat as if it had fallen to the ground.

Then she almost collapsed, her eyes filled with fear.

"Sister Wang?"

"Quick! Order people to seal off those smoking dens. Arrest all the smokers who have been in and out of the smoking dens in recent days. Something big is going to happen!"

"this......"

Hearing Wen Liuli's words, Tang Tianling's expression became complicated.

It's not like he can arrest someone just by saying so. He has just received news that at least a thousand people have entered and exited the smoking den recently.

Among these thousands of people, in addition to the common people of the imperial city, there were also some court officials, princes, nobles and the like.

If they were all arrested, wouldn't the imperial city be in chaos?

Not to mention that he is just a prince, even if Donghuang came, he couldn't just arrest so many people.

"It's too late, hurry up!"

Wen Liuli was really anxious at this moment. She was so busy looking for poppy fruits and vendors that she overlooked the most important place.

This place is a smoking den. If one wants to smoke opium, a smoking den is definitely the best choice. However, in the past two days, Wen Liuli simply did not think about it in that direction.

"But Wang Sao... I don't have that power. Even if I do, I don't have that many troops to do this."

Seeing Wen Liuli's anxious look, Tang Tianling couldn't help but become a little nervous. Could something really have happened?

Hearing this, Wen Liuli immediately calmed down.

Indeed, Tang Tianling does not have this ability, so he should find someone who has the ability to do it.

Thinking of this, Wen Liuli immediately ran back to Liuli Garden.

At this time, Tang Zongluan was still playing with the chess endgame given to him by Wen Liuli. Seeing Wen Liuli and Tang Tianling coming in, Tang Zongluan slowly raised his head.

"Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

"Grandpa Emperor, something terrible has happened. There is a high possibility that there is opium in the opium dens in the imperial city now."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Tang Zongluan narrowed his eyes. He had seen opium two days ago. This thing was indeed unique. If it was really as Wen Liuli said, it would cause great harm to the human body and cause addiction, then this opium was indeed not a good thing.

But if that's all, then this thing is just like that, and it won't kill people in a short time, so why rush it?

"I know, I will send someone to deal with it, so don't worry about it."

However, seeing that Wen Liuli was so anxious, Tang Zongluan couldn't refuse her. After all, it wasn't a good thing, so he might as well ban it.

Just go back to the opium den and tell them not to sell opium.

However, Wen Liuli became anxious when he saw this, and said, "My old man, you still have the time to study this endgame when the situation is urgent."

"lady!"

Just when Wen Liuli was about to say something else, Yun Yin suddenly ran in from outside.

"what's up?"

Seeing Yun Yin, Wen Liuli frowned immediately and said, "I'm busy now."

On the other hand, Yun Yin, after entering Liuli Garden, first bowed slightly to Tang Tianling and Tang Zongluan, and then told them the news he had just learned.

"Madam, there was news from the prison just now that the prisoner who was sentenced to death two days ago went crazy. Now he is lying at the door of the prison and refuses to leave no matter what. He said that he would be willing to die if he was allowed to smoke one more puff."

At first, when Yun Yin heard the news, he had no idea what was going on. But when he thought about the fact that his wife and the emperor had visited the Heavenly Prison two days ago, Yun Yin felt that this matter might be very important, so he simply told it in front of Tang Zongluan.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Tang Zongluan suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes full of disbelief.

No way? Is he really addicted? He's not afraid of death, just for a puff?

"Let's go! Follow me and take a look!"

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Tang Zongluan didn't think twice and led his group to rush towards the sky prison.

On the way, Wen Liuli also explained everything to Tang Tianling. After learning that opium was so harmful, even with his knowledge, Tang Tianling couldn't help but be shocked.

How could such a poison exist in the world? Not only does it not hurt, but the poisoned person feels euphoric. Long-term use will eventually lead to death. If you stop using it, it will be like being in the depths of hell.

While being amazed, he also understood why Wen Liuli was so anxious. If it was true as Wen Liuli said, this thing would definitely be a powerful weapon that could kill people without them even noticing.

Half an hour later, the figures of several people appeared in front of the gate of the Heavenly Prison again.

At this time, there was a man lying at the door of the prison. He was the death row prisoner who was convicted of taking opium two days ago.

At this time, the death row prisoner had been beaten to the point of being on the verge of death. After all, this was a prison, so how could he do whatever he wanted?

If it weren't for the fact that the retired emperor and Princess Wu had already made arrangements, the death row prisoner would have been thrown out of Donghuang City by now.

"He still refuses to leave even after being beaten like this. This guy's willpower is really strong enough."

Seeing the scarred death row prisoner, Tang Tianling frowned slightly. It was the first time he had seen such a person.

You are a death row prisoner and should be on your way to the underworld now. But you are not happy about being released and insist on rushing into the gates of hell. I really don't know what you are thinking.

On the other hand, the death row prisoner had been beaten to the point of being unable to move, but after seeing Wen Liuli and the others, he suddenly pounced towards Tang Zongluan, not knowing where he got the strength from.

"Uncle! Uncle! Please, I beg you, give me another puff."

"As long as you give me the whip, it doesn't matter if you drag me to be beheaded now."

"Really, I have a big head and I've been chopped off."

"Please, just one bite, I just want one bite!"

Lying at Tang Zongluan's feet, the death row prisoner grabbed Tang Zongluan's ankles tightly and spoke in a pleading tone.

Seeing this scene, several jailers in the prison could not help but frown. They had seen this before. After being caught, this death row prisoner was tortured for several days without making a sound. Now he was lying at the feet of the emperor like a pug.

And his tone didn't sound like he was lying at all, he really thought so. As long as you let him smoke, he would be willing to die in the next second.
