The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Qingshui Town

The Huang family has been in a state of gloom lately!

Everyone in the courtyard acted cautiously, even Lin Xing, who had infiltrated the Huang residence as a guard, looked sullen.

Countless people dressed as doctors come and go from the Huang residence every day. The Huang family steward even said that anyone who could cure their master would receive countless sums of money.

Lin Xing knew that Master Huang's addiction to Five-Stone Powder had kicked in.

Yang Hu, the servant, has been captured by Jiang Su and his men for more than ten days. Master Huang has also not taken Five Stone Powder for more than ten days, so he is naturally anxious and distressed.

Furthermore, symptoms such as general fever and restlessness appeared.

At this moment, Zhang Langzhong from Qianzhitang was taking Huang Yuanwai's pulse in his bedroom.

Zhang Langzhong's brows furrowed even more, a symptom he had seen in his youth.

This is clearly the initial reaction to taking the forbidden drug Wushi San, which was explicitly prohibited by the imperial court.

Whenever Zhang Langzhong thought of Wushi Powder, he recalled his youth when he traveled around with his master.

That was more than twenty years ago.

Young Zhang He, in the prime of his youth, followed his master, Old Wu, to a small town in the southwestern border region, a place with vast land and sparse population.

The two, who had set out in search of medicine, entered a place called Luoxia Town, which was desolate in all directions.

Once you enter the town, you can't see a single person. There are no vendors, no pedestrians, and even the shops in town are closed even in broad daylight.

The two found it very strange.

Suddenly, a noise came from the dark alley, and the two walked towards it.

Then I saw a group of people squatting in the corner, completely absorbed in inhaling some kind of powder.

Some people tilt their heads back and pour the powder directly into their mouths, while others pour the powder into water, shake it well, and then drink it.

The group seemed oblivious to the two men's closeness, as if they had entered a world of their own making.

When his master saw that something was wrong, he picked up the remaining powder on the ground and led him to hide in another place.

The two secretly observed the symptoms of the people who had inhaled the powder.

In this small town, all the master and apprentice saw were people inhaling this powder.

The demand from users will gradually increase, and once you start using this drug, you can't quit.

After returning from Luoxia Town, the two told the county magistrate of Fucheng County, which was not far from Luoxia Town, about the incident.

Later, it seems that this substance was named Wushi San and was completely eradicated by the imperial court. More than 20 years have passed since then.

Very few people know about this, and I don't remember the specifics myself.

After returning, the master worked on developing a cure for the Five-Stone Powder, but he was unable to create one before his death.

Zhang Langzhong couldn't understand how something that had disappeared for more than 20 years could reappear, and how this Huang Yuanwai had gotten involved with the Five-Stone Powder.

Seeing the solemn look on Zhang Langzhong's face, Huang Nian asked worriedly, "Zhang Langzhong, can you tell what illness my master has?"

Zhang He nodded, then asked in a cold voice, "Has Master Huang been taking some kind of powder recently?"

Huang Nian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's the miraculous medicine given by Master Yang, the guest of honor of my master. But as you know, my master started to become like this after Master Yang disappeared. Could it be that there is something wrong with this miraculous medicine?"

Zhang Langzhong also knew that the Five-Stone Powder could not be made public, otherwise it would cause panic among the people. But how should he deal with the matter of Master Huang?

He continued his research according to the method left by his master, and concluded that there was no antidote for the Five-Stone Powder.

This stuff will only make people more and more addicted after just one use. Even if I told the county magistrate about it, he probably wouldn't believe me!

After all, very few people know about Wushi San (五石散).

"That's right, it was caused by this drug, but I can't cure it either, and it's also a banned drug in our country."

Huang Nian, Huang Xilian and the others were shocked when they heard what Zhang Langzhong said. Even Zhang Langzhong, who was skilled in medicine in Qingshui Town, had no way to save their master.

Huang Xilian immediately burst into tears, "Doctor Zhang, is my father...?"

Even if she didn't finish speaking, everyone knew what she was going to say.

Doctor Zhang nodded, "The situation isn't that bad, but now it can only be overcome by Master Huang's own willpower."

Doctor Zhang asked many questions about Master Huang and learned that he had only eaten there a few times. He told them that they must keep a close watch on him at all times.

To prevent Master Huang from harming himself or others.

When the ladies of the Huang family heard that the "miracle medicine" that Master Huang had been taking was incurable, they began to covet their family's property.

Huang Xilian and Steward Huang could not let Master Huang get away with this, so they summoned a large number of doctors to treat Master Huang.

Later, they even invited a Taoist priest from the martial arts world.

However, no one could tell Huang Yuanwai's condition; they only said that he was physically weak and mentally confused.

Soon, the news that Master Huang was about to die spread like wildfire throughout Qingshui Town.

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Su and He Qi were discussing countermeasures in the courtyard.

Jiang Su: "It seems that Master Huang is suffering from a craving for Five-Stone Powder. Now that Yang Hu is in our hands, no one can supply him with Five-Stone Powder. Do you think Yu Ming will make a move again?"

He Qi: "I heard that none of the people who went to the Huang mansion to treat Master Huang knew that his illness was caused by the Five-Stone Powder."

Jiang Su frowned: "We need to tell the boss this news as soon as possible. At first, we thought Yu Ming would send people to approach the Huang residence again, but we didn't expect him to be so calm. More than ten days have passed and there has been no movement."

He Qi: "You go ahead, I need to go feed the person in the cellar first. He can't die yet, after all, he's the only one we know where Yu Ming is right now."

Yu Ming also received a message from Master Huang.

He dared not act rashly, after all, Yang Hu had been arrested, which meant that the group that had been investigating him had already set their sights on the Huang family.

If he were to make a move, his whereabouts would be exposed.

After all, he still doesn't know the identity of the person who is investigating him.

I didn't dare to contact my superiors rashly. Ever since my hideout in Qingning County was raided, all I got from them was a verbal message saying not to contact them for the time being.

From then on, she and Li Jiang and Yang Hu lived in this remote town and never received any more letters from adults.

Yu Ming slammed the teapot and other items on the table to the ground, making a loud "bang bang bang" sound.

But I'm not reconciled. Everything I have is ruined. How can I accept living here forever?

I've made a lot of money for that big shot, and now he's just leaving me here to fend for myself.

Standing to the side, Li Jiang looked at Yu Ming's gloomy face and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Snake Bro" is throwing a tantrum again, after all, he encountered obstacles as soon as he took his first step.

They had no idea who the people who had been tracking them were.
