Hibiscus ointment is actually something extracted from opium poppy. Jia Cong knows what it will look like even though he has never smoked it.
He still doesn't know who is so heartbroken. The only thing he can do is to ban the entry and exit of Zhengdongfang and wait outside in misery.
I will rush directly into Zhengdongfang to investigate and arrest people, that is, Calabash Baby saves grandpa...
Dong dong dong dong...
Da da da da…
The bells in the morning and the drums in the evening are the sound of horse hooves.
The curfew has just begun in the capital city, and all the noise has not subsided. The ground seems to be shaking. The officials and people hiding at the door are guessing what kind of trouble the imperial army will cause when they attack.
Fortunately, the Forbidden Army had strict military discipline and everything was in accordance with Jia Cong's instructions. After setting off from the camp, they rushed all the way to the outside of Zhengdongfang and moved east of Zhengyang Street, east of Qinghua Temple, south of the inner city wall, and north of the Temple of Heaven. The smaller half of Zhengdongfang was surrounded.
All intersections are blocked, and the strange smell floating in the air and the direction of the smoke are monitored at all times.
Cao Jiugong finally received the news and led a large group of dragon guards to the inner city wall.
Jia Cong climbed up and looked far away. Unfortunately, the sky was only filled with crescent moons and stars, so he couldn't see clearly what was happening over there at Anguo Temple.
"Your Majesty said you found traces of hibiscus paste here. Where are they?"
Upon hearing Cao Jiugong's inquiry, Jia Cong pointed forward: "Hey, it's all over Zhengdongfang!"
Cao Jiugong was confused: "What do you mean?"
Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said: "There is a madman burning hibiscus paste in Zhengdongfang, and the quantity is huge. Not only has the smell not dissipated, but it is drifting along the southeast wind to the inner city. I am planning to send dead soldiers to investigate. "
Jia Cong couldn't guarantee whether he would become addicted after taking hibiscus ointment for a short period of time. The amount was too much, and the smoke filling the air, who knows if it would cause overdose, which would really kill someone.
Time has taken too long. There are so many people in Zhengdongfang. Not to mention the problem of addiction or not, if they die from overdose, then something big will happen.
The emperor's feet are the most virtuous place. If something happens to the people in a certain neighborhood, the emperor will have to issue an edict to punish himself.
Cao Jiugong gritted his teeth and said, "I can't wait any longer. Tell me what to do?"
"Cao Dudu, you ask me? I don't know either!"
Jia Cong really didn't know how to deal with this matter. In his nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, he only learned about the dangers of D products. In his short life, he always stayed in a safe environment. How could he know the specific way to deal with it.
It seems like quicklime is mixed with water... I guess so...
Cao Jiugong's heart was bleeding. The men under him were all the elites of the Dragon Guard, and they were all good at spying on intelligence and protecting and killing enemies.
It is really frustrating to be folded in such a place that is out of reach.
But he couldn't wait any longer. If he waited any longer, the entire capital would fall.
"Come here, rush in with me..."
"etc!"
Jia Cong grabbed Cao Jiugong's sleeve and said, "Cao Dudu, do you want to go in person? Someone might die!"
"When did a man from the old Cao family ever fear death?"
Cao Jiugong's answer made Jia Cong want to curse. The heroic Cao Dudu corresponds to the death-phobic Jia Xiaosan.
"Even if you die, it will be worth it!"
Jia Cong stamped his foot: "Prepare cotton cloth, water, refreshing sachet medicine..."
There weren't many things he could think of, so he used the limited conditions to make a simple gas mask.
Without rubber, there is no sealing. The gas mask, which is similar to a large mask, is filled with various herbs, spices, etc. to isolate the strange smell in the air.
There were only a small number of people, and besides Cao Jiugong, Jia Cong, and Jia Shiyi, there were only the twenty most elite members of the Dragon Guard. .z.br>
Only the north side of Zhengdongfang is occupied by ordinary people's residences. All the way south, there are people trapped in psychedelics everywhere, roaring, laughing, tearing...
Bang!
Jia Shiyi kicked him away again
A man with dementia rushed up, and the group hurried towards Anguo Temple in silence.
According to the earliest intelligence, the last possible place where hibiscus paste was burned was at Anguo Temple.
"Cao Dudu, look..."
Jia Cong's voice sounded unreal because of the large mask, but Cao Jiugong still got the general idea.
Following the direction Jia Cong pointed, a line of smoke rose into the sky and drifted north with the help of the night wind.
"Right here..."
Cao Jiugong immediately drew his sword, and Jia Cong also drew the dragon-head dagger from his waist. The others all drew their swords on warning and quickly ran towards the direction of the smoke column.
Sure enough, it was in Anguo Temple. The temple door had been torn down long ago, and there was still blood flowing out from under the door.
By the light of the torch, Jia Cong could vaguely see the monk's body pressed under the gate.
The door was covered with footprints, and the messy footprints made it impossible to tell how many people had rushed in.
The temple is full of ruins and rubble, as if it had gone through a war. In front of the main hall, a large amount of firewood is piled up.
From the pile of firewood burning on the side, thick smoke continued to emit, exuding a pungent and strange smell. The fragrance was extremely rich and so strong that it made people sick.
Jia Cong picked up a piece of "earth lump" under his feet. It was square and dark brown, and it was exactly the same as the hibiscus paste found in Zhou Guiren's bedroom.
"Brother Cong, what should I do?"
"Put out the fire! If it continues to burn, the entire capital will be in chaos!"
There is a small river outside Anguo Temple. The monks in the temple opened a running water to make the bridge flow, which solved the problem of fire-fighting water.
More than 20 people did not stop. They found utensils and poured water on the firewood pile.
The fire was huge, but it had been burning for some time. In about two-quarters of an hour, the last sparks were extinguished.
"Don't pick it!"
A paralyzed Dragon Guard brother was about to take off his mask, but Jia Cong stopped him with words.
"Anyone who takes off his mask will be beaten with a hundred military sticks!"
So far, Jia Cong was sure that this simple gas mask was still somewhat useful. At least so far, he was only slightly nauseous and dizzy, not ecstatic.
It's just that the breathing is not smooth, which makes people feel a little suffocated.
Jia Shiyi had already led a few people to conduct a simple search around Anguo Temple and shook his head.
"Retreat first!"
Jia Cong stuffed the scattered hibiscus paste into his arms, looked at Cao Jiugong, and led the exhausted people to retreat quickly.
When he returned to the inner city wall, the emperor was already standing on the wall under the escort of a large number of imperial troops.
The silver-armored general beside him was none other than Mr. Pardon, who was worried about Zai'er.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Just as Jia Cong climbed up the city wall, he was hit twice on the head.
Liu Heng scolded: "If a gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall, who told you to run to Zhengdongfang?"
After the pardoning master slapped his son on the head, he rubbed it distressedly: "San'er, are you okay? Let the imperial doctor take a look..."
Mr. Li Shiqian, who was invited by Mr. Pardon Master, took Jia Cong's wrist and began to diagnose the pulse.
"It seems that some external evil has entered the body, but it should be nothing serious..."
Mr. Li opened the medicine box, took out a pill from a small porcelain bottle, and stuffed it into Jia Cong's mouth. Jia Cong took the water bag and swallowed it with a gulp.
"I'm going to make a prescription. You all have a drink first and see how it goes..."
Li Shiqian is a cautious person. Although he is 70% or 80% sure, he will never be sure of his words.
Twenty-three people, including Jia Cong, were all placed on the wall, smoking "bacon" around a bonfire built with various medicinal materials!
Is this considered large-scale moxibustion?
"Your Majesty, the smell is gone!"
The latest news came from the scouts, and Liu Heng nodded to Jia She.
Following the order, the war drum corps beat the war drums, and the capital immediately became loud after the curfew.
I don’t know how many people couldn’t sleep tonight, but the people in Zhengdongfang were not conscious at all. When they woke up from the hallucination, the imperial army had already turned over the entire Zhengdongfang.
Jia She continued to receive reports from all over, and thirty-seven people were killed or injured. Some of them jumped from the attic and fell to death, some jumped into the river and drowned, and some died at the hands of their own relatives...
"Except for the two dead monks of Anguo Temple, all the monks staying in the temple have been captured. Nine of them are missing. According to Yuanming, the abbot of Anguo Temple, it was his junior brother Yuantong who led people to burn forbidden objects, causing the incident in Zhengdong The place is in chaos!"
The fish-white gleam is revealed, and the sky is about to break.
Liu Heng asked: "Has Yuantong been caught?"
"Your Majesty, not yet, but I have arranged for people to follow the clues and chase them. They cannot escape from Zhengdongfang."
Jia She was still very confident about this. The entire Zhengdongfang was surrounded by the Forbidden Army, and even the waterways were blocked. Yuantong and others couldn't even think of flying out even if they had wings.
Sure enough, shortly after the morning bell rang, several bald heads were tied into a bunch by the imperial guards and thrown at Jia She's feet.
The emperor sat high on the city wall, his lips pursed tightly.
The riding whip in Jia She's hand would not teach the bald man about Buddhism. With a whip, Yuantong explained everything.
It turned out that he was entrusted by someone to destroy several carriages of hibiscus paste.
The person who entrusted him with the task did not tell him what these things were, only that they were forbidden items.
Originally Yuantong was afraid of the national law and worried about being implicated, but that person gave him too much.
And as long as he does it without anyone noticing, the reward will be enough for him to live happily for several years.
So how can we remain unaware of it? Yuantong glanced at the incense burner in front of the Buddha. The Buddhas probably wouldn't mind him sending some strange incense. Ever since, Yuantong suddenly started a fire.
It doesn't matter what the fever was, it almost brought the entire capital to a state of excitement!
Jia Cong flew up and kicked him over. If you are a monk, you should eat well, eat fast and chant Buddha. If you are not educated, don't come out to harm others.
Good guy, in order to make money, you almost made people all over the city addicted to D. If the Buddha knew it, he would have to send you to the eighteenth level of hell to enjoy it one by one!
Jia She picked up the irritable little fat man and threw him back to Li Shiqian's place. He bowed and came to the emperor to report.
After Liu Heng was silent for a long time, he said coldly: "Go and investigate, find out the person behind the scenes, and punish the clan!"
"Seal down Zhengdongfang and move in to Mingtai Hospital to treat the victims. The Ministry of Household Affairs allocates food and medicinal materials, and no one is allowed to give up."
"Twenty-three people including Cao Jiugong and Jia Cong have made great contributions to the country without fear of life and death, and ordered the cabinet to draft rewards!"
"Ring the Jingyang Bell, civil and military officials of the seventh rank or above in the capital will come to Fengtian Palace to meet you!"
