Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 255 Inventory

At this moment, for Cui Xudong, the attraction of the golden paste far surpasses everything else.

Without even a moment's hesitation, he told everything he knew.

It was so serious that Duke Cheng'en took advantage of his position to sell official positions and titles, embezzle and accept bribes, and annex farmland.

From small things like an uncle and a sister-in-law having an affair to a young lady elopement with someone else, which bring disgrace to the family, all of them are jaw-dropping.

Emperor Jingping's face turned dark when he heard this.

Xiao Jingyi knew that Cui Xudong had a share in Shenxianju, so he asked, "Who asked you to open Shenxianju? Who do you get the goods from?"

Cui Xudong looked depressed and could hardly control himself.

"Magic cream...I want the magic cream..."

Xiao Jingyi gave Chongtian Quan a look.

Tianquan immediately stepped forward and handed the pipe dipped in golden paste to Cui Xudong.

Cui Xudong immediately grasped the pipe tightly with both hands and took a deep puff.

After his body twitched slightly for a while, a look of satisfaction and joy appeared on his face.

The next moment, Tianquan put away his pipe.

Cui Xudong looked unsatisfied, "Please, let me take another puff, just one more puff..."

Tian Quan's face was stern: "Answer the questions. As long as you answer well, you can draw as much as you want."

Cui Xudong nodded immediately: "Ask me, I'll tell you everything I know."

Xiao Jingyi repeated the previous question.

"Who asked you to open Shenxianju?"

Cui Xudong replied: "No one, we just wanted to open it ourselves to make money."

"The golden cream is selling like hot cakes in Jiangnan. Prince Shun and I learned about it by chance, and we wanted to do this business in the capital as well."

"For this purpose, Yun Gansong and Liang Shuhang were brought in to help with the funding."

"I know a manager who sells golden cream in Jiangnan. I have some friendship with him."

"I bought the gold cream used by the Immortal Residence in the capital from the manager, and then sold it at a higher price."

Xiao Jingyi asked again: "How do you contact each other?"

Cui Xudong said: "I will not contact the manager directly."

"He has a relative who manages the business in Beijing. This relative acts as a middleman and delivers goods to Shenxianju once a month."

Xiao Jingyi asked some other questions, and after Cui Xudong answered them one by one, he let Tianquan give him the magic ointment.

As soon as Cui Xudong got the magic ointment, he immediately started to draw it.

Xiao Jingyi looked at Emperor Jingping and called out in a low voice, "Father."

Emperor Jingping was shocked when he saw everything along the way.

Seeing Cui Xudong again, for a mouthful of golden paste, he would answer whatever he was asked, even if he was asked to kill someone with a knife. I'm afraid he would not hesitate at all.

Emperor Jingping was even more shocked.

What’s even more terrifying is that this golden paste is not only in the capital, but has already spread to the south of the Yangtze River.

If all the people in Daqi were infected with the golden paste, when foreign enemies attacked, I am afraid they would not resist and would surrender first.

By then, Da Qi will perish!

Emperor Jingping swayed slightly and almost fell.

Xiao Jingyi immediately supported him, "Father, fortunately we discovered it in time. Only a few people were infected with the golden paste. Everything can still be saved!"

Emperor Jingping nodded and regained some strength.

He patted Xiao Jingyi on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to you and the princess, you discovered the harm of the golden ointment in time."

"I will reward you two handsomely!"

Xiao Jingyi said humbly, "This is what my son and I should do."

"The most urgent task now is to control Shenxianju, follow the clues, find out all the people involved in the incident in Jiangnan, and catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Let's check how many people are addicted to drugs and see if there is any way to treat them."

Emperor Jingping nodded: "I will give you full authority to investigate this matter. You can execute first and report later!"

"I think the origin of this golden paste is not simple."

"The person behind the scenes may have big plans."

"Yier, don't be impatient about this matter. It involves both the capital and Jiangnan. You need to act cautiously and don't alert the enemy."

"We must find out who is behind this. I want to see who is using such a sinister method to destroy the foundation of our Daqi!"

Xiao Jingyi bowed and said yes.

He is in charge of investigating the case, but Yun Fuling has to take care of the treatment.

After Xiao Jingyi sent Emperor Jingping back to the palace, when he came out again, Tianquan had already obtained the confessions from Cui Xudong and others during the interrogation.

He presented the confession to Xiao Jingyi.

After Xiao Jingyi read the thick stack of confessions, he ordered: "Send a team of people to guard the Shenxian Residence."

"Don't alert the enemy yet."

"In two days, Jiangnan's manager will send people to deliver goods to Shenxianju."

"Wait until that day before we take action."

"By the way, call Feng Niang over here. I have something to tell her!"

Tian Quan responded and stepped back to look for Feng Niang.

Xiao Jingyi went back to Prince Yi's Mansion.

Seeing him coming back, Yun Fuling asked, "Have you reported the matter of the golden cream to your father?"

Xiao Jingyi nodded: "My father has handed this matter over to me to investigate."

Yun Fuling had already guessed this result, and warned: "Then you must be careful, be careful not to be led by those people and become addicted to drugs."

In her previous life, Yun Fuling had heard of many cases of people being secretly harmed and induced to become addicted to drugs.

Xiao Jingyi held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful."

"There are many people who have been poisoned by the golden paste. Father's point is that if you can save them, you should save them."

"Do you have any prescription?"

Yun Fuling thought for a moment and said, "Due to the severity of drug addiction, the prescriptions used must be different."

"You can try the recipe I gave Zhao Xuesi last night."

"But his case is too rare, and the prescription that works for him may not work for others."

"If I could get a few more people addicted to drugs and let me do some research, maybe I could find a better way."

Xiao Jingyi immediately said, "I have a house in the outer city, which happens to be where I keep a few drug addicts."

"I'll have someone take you there later."

"Whatever methods you have, feel free to try them out on them."

Yun Fuling was shocked at first, but then she understood everything.

She didn't ask any more questions, just said "OK".

Xiao Jingyi asked about Zhao Xuesi's situation again.

Zhao Xuesi's symptoms are still mild, and when they are not in an attack, he is no different from a normal person.

As long as he can get through the first few days of withdrawal and use his willpower to control his desire for the golden paste and cut off the control of the golden paste over him, then there is hope of success in withdrawal.

Yun Fuling: "I believe he can get through this!"

Xiao Jingyi sighed secretly and nodded.

No one expected that Zhao Xuesi would suffer such a disaster.

The two were talking when Tian Quan came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, Feng Niang is here."

Yun Fuling raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who is Feng Niang?"

Judging from the name, it should be a female.

However, she had been with Xiao Jingyi for such a long time, and had never heard of such a person before.
