"If you don't have money, go make some! We're not opening a smoking den for charity. If everyone follows suit, will we still be able to open our smoking den?"

"This……"

"I'll borrow it! I'll borrow it now!"

Hearing the waiter's words, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly became complicated. Then he slowly stood up, with determination in his eyes, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Bring that man back!"

Tang Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this, then looked at the City Lord's Mansion steward beside him and spoke slowly.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the butler bowed and then caught up with the middle-aged man. A moment later, he brought him in front of Tang Tianyu.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

When the middle-aged man saw Tang Tianyu's clothes, he felt delighted. He looked like an important person, either rich or noble.

"You want this?"

Taking out a piece of light yellow substance from his pipe, Tang Tianyu shook it in front of the middle-aged man and asked.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! That's what I want!"

"Give it to you!"

After saying that, Tang Tianyu threw the thing directly in front of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked as if he hadn't eaten for three years. His eyes were red and he pounced on the yellowish substance thrown on the ground by Tang Tianyu like a vicious dog grabbing shit.

"Boss, get him a pipe, and the money will be on the city lord's head!"

"Yes!"

The shopkeeper was stunned when he saw this, not understanding what Tang Tianyu's intention was, but his identity was definitely not simple, so the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect him.

Regardless of who will pay the money, even if no one pays, the shopkeeper will not make enemies with Tang Tianyu.

As the saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials. Even Jiang Yijue was polite when he met him. He only had a pipe, which was in abundance in the tobacco shop.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man almost snatched the pipe from the waiter's hand after getting it. He didn't even bother to lie down on the bed to smoke it. He just lay on the ground and took out the small fire source from his pocket.

His operation was smooth and fluent. Without three to five years of smoking experience, it would be impossible to achieve such proficiency.

Of course, Tang Tianyu didn't care about his actions, but stared at the changes. When he saw that the middle-aged man seemed to be floating in the air after inhaling, Tang Tianyu's heart sank to the bottom.

This thing, even if it is not opium, is almost like opium.

The middle-aged man in front of him gave people the impression of being an honest person. He would kneel down and beg the waiter for a puff of cigarette, and even in order to smoke it as soon as possible, he would not even crawl up, but just lie on the ground and smoke it.

Acting like this doesn't match his appearance at all.

What made him become like this?

Tang Tianyu looked at the pipe in his hand with some horror.

"Jiang Yijue!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Jiang Yijue was startled when he heard Tang Tianyu calling him. After being choked by the smoke a few times, he staggered to Tang Tianyu's feet.

"Your Highness! What's wrong?"

“Crack, crack, crack, crack! Go, mobilize all the troops you can to blockade the entire Zixian City!”

"Ah... ah?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yijue's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Tang Tianyu in disbelief. What was he trying to do?

Blockade Zixian City? The people will be in chaos.

"What?! Just go when I tell you to!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Tang Tianyu's determined expression, Jiang Yijue's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't know what had happened, this was an order from His Royal Highness King Wu. How could he dare to neglect it?

After Jiang Yijue ran off dejectedly to get help, Tang Tianyu set his sights on the owner of the tobacco shop.

"Where did you get this tobacco?"

Tang Tianyu's eyes were cold at this moment. He was almost certain in his heart that this thing was definitely related to opium.

This thing is too harmful. If it is not stopped in time, it may cause a disaster.

"This……"

After hearing what Tang Tianyu said, the shopkeeper suddenly felt a little embarrassed. You know, sources of goods like this are confidential in their industry, how could he easily tell others?

If this is the case, how will he conduct business in the future?

Obviously, Tang Tianyu was not the first person who wanted to ask this question. After all, this new type of tobacco was so popular that some people wanted to buy it and smoke it themselves, while others saw the popularity and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

In other words, Jiang Yijue is the city lord. If it were someone else, even if they wanted to buy directly from him, he might not sell it to them.

"Say!"

Just as he was struggling, a long sword was suddenly pressed against his neck, scaring him so much that he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Sir, we are doing business. You are breaking the rules by doing this!"

"Rules? Humph! I am the rule!"

Hearing this, Tang Tianyu's eyes narrowed, and then he swung his sword, and a sword energy directly hit the gate of Ruyi Tower.

"boom!"

The moment the sword energy came into contact with the door, the door of Ruyi Tower shattered with a loud bang. The sound of the explosion immediately attracted the attention of all the smokers in the tobacco shop.

For a moment, everyone focused their attention on Tang Tianyu with extremely displeased looks.

Is this guy here to mess things up? Can't you see I'm having a good time? What do you mean by tearing down the door?

If you tear down this Ruyi Tower, where will we be able to live happily in the future?

"Sir! Are you going too far?"

The shopkeeper's eyes turned cold when he saw this. So what if you are an official? Does being an official mean you can do whatever you want?

I am running a business. I have not violated any law and I have not done anything harmful. Why are you doing this to me?

"I'll ask you again, where did you buy this thing from?"

Tang Tianyu chose to ignore the shopkeeper's threatening words. In this world, the person who could threaten him had not yet been born.

Don’t even mention that you’re just a small tobacco shop owner. Go ask His Majesty the Emperor Donghuang and see if he dares to threaten me!

"Hmph! Come on, kick this troublemaker out! One day I will go to the City Lord's Mansion in person and ask the City Lord to claim back for this gate of mine."

The shopkeeper was not to be outdone, and his eyes immediately turned cold. At his command, the thugs hiding in the dark in the opium den rushed out and surrounded Tang Tianyu.

Seeing these people, Tang Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly. There were about a dozen thugs from Ruyi Tower, all dressed in waiter uniforms, and their cultivation was probably at the fourth or fifth level of warriors.

Do you think these people can attack me?

Should I say you are foolish or courageous?

So, after a cold snort, Tang Tianyu moved. He slowly raised his right foot and slammed it hard on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying energy spread out from around the soles of his feet. After a loud bang, the thugs surrounding Tang Tianyu flew backwards.

As they flew out, they couldn't help but spit out blood from their mouths and lost consciousness after landing on the ground.

"you……"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened immediately when he saw this scene. These were all warriors he had hired at great expense, yet they were so vulnerable in front of this young man.

"Say!"

After dealing with the thugs, Tang Tianyu once again turned his gaze to the shopkeeper, his tone revealing that he could not be questioned.

Seeing Tang Tianyu's expression, the shopkeeper was shocked. He could clearly feel that if he didn't say it today, Tang Tianyu might really kill him on the spot.

Not only will they kill him, they might even demolish his store immediately.

Who exactly is this young man? Not only does he act in a domineering manner, but he also has such terrifying strength.

"I said...I said!"

After a while, the shopkeeper became scared. The tobacco shop was important, but it was not as important as his own life.

The guy in front of me is obviously not someone who is easy to deal with. If he suddenly attacks me, losing limbs would be a small matter, but losing one's life would be a big loss.

"This thing was brought to our store by a man in black. I don't know where it came from."

"Maybe we can contact the man in black?"

Hearing this, Tang Tianyu frowned immediately. What you said is the same as saying nothing.

"He was the one who contacted me first. Until now, I don't even know what he looks like."

"This new type of tobacco is a good thing. If you want it, I will discuss it with you next time you come and see if I can sell you some."

"I hope you didn't lie to me!"

Hearing this, Tang Tianyu snorted coldly, then put away the Zhanlu Sword and looked coldly at the smokers in the tobacco shop.

At this time, Jiang Yijue had also rushed over with the troops he had gathered. When he saw the mess on the ground, his heart skipped a beat.

Oh my god, how long have I been gone? Who offended this ancestor? How did he become like this?

"Your Highness, what are you..."

"Seal off this tobacco shop. Do not let anyone who was in this shop today go. Bring them all back to the government office to await trial!"

Seeing Jiang Yijue, Tang Tianyu's eyes were a little cold, and then he snorted coldly.

"what?"

"Do as I say!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Yijue was confused. He didn't know what was going on, but he could only follow Tang Tianyu's instructions and arrest the shopkeeper, the waiters of Ruyi Tower, and all the smokers and bring them back to the yamen.

For a moment, the yamen, which was usually deserted, was suddenly crowded with people.

Outside the yamen, there was already a crowd of people, and the people were all watching, wondering what had happened and why the government had made such a fuss to arrest so many people.

Even when they arrested them, they didn't give any reason and just took them all here.

It’s not Jiang Yijue’s fault. Even he himself was confused and was just following orders.

"Your Highness!"

Sitting in the court, Tang Tianyu looked at the dozens of people who were captured and lying on the ground with cold eyes.

He knew that this was not all, because he only arrested the people in the opium den, and no one knew how many opium smokers there were in Zixian City.

These people will undoubtedly be hidden dangers. Without access to opium, no one knows what they will do.

If Tang Tianyu had not been to Blue Star and knew the horror of DP, he would never have had such awareness and would not have reacted so quickly.

Just when Tang Tianyu was thinking about how to deal with this matter, one of his personal bodyguards suddenly walked in and bowed to Tang Tianyu.
