Chapter 233: Thoroughly Exploited

But this thought was fleeting, and soon Ling'er started playing with the twin sisters.

The merchant ship moved forward slowly. Lu Zhanxing became a hands-off boss on the ship and directly handed Ling'er over to Mu Qingli for teaching. Mu Qingli was very attentive.

He had also thought it through. Since Lu Zhanxing no longer mentioned being together, he would just pretend he didn't know. As long as he could see her often, that would be enough.

Moreover, Ling'er is well-behaved and intelligent. Although she is young, she can always apply what she has been taught to other situations, which makes him very happy. Because he loves her so much, he wants to teach Ling'er everything he knows.

The merchant ship first docked in Qingzhou for a day and was supposed to stay for three days, but when Mr. Hu heard that there was a poison at work, he decided to leave after replenishing food.

When Lu Zhanxing learned that there was a poison at work, he decided to get off the boat in Qingzhou to see if he could solve the problem.

"The Wu clan has recorded this kind of poison, called blood poison. Once infected, the person will die. Once this poison enters the human body, the person who is poisoned will feel like thousands of ants eating away at his bones..."

Mu Qingli explained to Lu Zhanxing the details of the poison. After hearing this, Lu Zhanxing frowned. How could this poison be so difficult to deal with and not afraid of water or fire?

"And how do you know it's hidden inside a person's body?"

Mu Qingli shook her head. Because this poison could not distinguish between friend and foe, the tribe called it a forbidden technique. However, if a tribe member's witchcraft was strong enough, he could still find a medium to control the poison.

But now Mu Qingran's whereabouts are unknown. Even if we know, he won't resolve the crisis, so this is a bit difficult.

Lu Zhanxing fell into deep thought. Is there really no way?

I have finally become a prince, it can't end like this!

Then wouldn’t all my work be in vain?

It was not until Lu Zhanxing saw her daughter often entering the space to get things that she suddenly realized that she had no way to deal with the poisonous insects, but the space could!

It’s just that it’s difficult to detect the poisoned person in the first place, and by the time you find out, the victim has been sucked dry.

Ling'er is too young now, otherwise she could cooperate with me. But now I am alone, it is really difficult!

We can only think of ways to eliminate it first.

A few days later, Gu Xuyao ​​came to Yangzhou and first met the governor of Yangzhou. He was almost scared to death when he learned that a ship had caught fire and burned to ashes.

Fortunately, the governor had received information from a surviving secret guard and learned that Prince Yi had successfully rescued the princess, and he was relieved.

He decided to stay in Yangzhou to assist the governor in investigating the people who were poisoned.

But now, people in various places are dying from poison inhalation, causing panic among the people everywhere. Even the pension arranged by Your Majesty before is of no use.

Mr. Hu felt regretful when he learned that Lu Zhanxing was going to get off the boat in Qingzhou because of a friend he met. It was obvious that this father and daughter were not ordinary people. He was also wondering if he could use their connections to expand his business when he went to the capital.

However, Mr. Hu did not show it and still agreed kindly.

Lu Zhanxing did not disappoint Mr. Hu. He gave him a letter and asked him to take it to the capital to find Lin Yun, the general manager of Yufeng Trading Company.

The sudden surprise made Mr. Hu overjoyed. He was glad that he had always been good at making friends, and now, he had made the friend of an important person.

Yufeng Trading Company is a century-old brand, and I heard that it has a powerful backing. My own trading company, which has been in business for decades, cannot compare to it.

With Yufeng Commercial Bank as your backing, you won't have to be exploited by officials when doing business in the future.

"Thank you, sir!" Mr. Hu thanked him repeatedly.

"No need, this is what you deserve." It was just a small matter, so she didn't mind giving him a favor. Although Mr. Hu was a little utilitarian, he was a decent person. She didn't dislike him, so why not help him?

When Mr. Hu saw that Lu Zhanxing had given him such a generous gift, he quickly asked someone to prepare five hundred taels for them to use as travel expenses, and also gave Ling'er some interesting and exquisite toys to play with.

Lu Zhanxing couldn't refuse and had to accept it.

After leaving the boat, Lu Zhanxing took them straight to the branch of the Heavenly Punishment Division.

Arrange for them to post the notice immediately.

1: Today, people in many places have died from the harm of Gu poison. After investigation by the Heavenly Punishment Department, it was found that this Gu is easily contagious. If anyone is found to be poisoned by the Gu, he should be immediately locked in a well-sealed room before he starts to harm himself.

Second, after being locked up, immediately notify the local government to keep watch, and move everyone else. You can only return to your room after the government has handled the matter.

Third, please ask people from all over the country to supervise each other and actively respond to the announcement. Concealment will only kill yourself!

These are the solutions that Lu Zhanxing and Mu Qingli have been thinking about for a long time. I hope they are really effective.

After the three notices from the Heavenly Punishment Division were issued, the people of Qingzhou felt like they had a backbone. After all, the Heavenly Punishment Division had indeed helped them a lot and would really plead for the people, so they all actively responded to the call.

Afterwards, Lu Zhanxing sent a pigeon back to the capital, asking his brother to issue a notice to the whole country and ask government offices in various places to cooperate.

Although this method has its drawbacks, it is better than allowing the poison in the body of the poisoned person to escape, right?

As long as you lock up the poisonous insect for a month and prevent it from coming out to suck blood, it will die on its own.

I hope this method is really effective, and I will have someone make a full range of iron armor, which will be worn by the staff of the Heavenly Punishment Department. They will go to the homes of the reported people and collect the poisonous insects in boxes. I will then go to various places to collect them and hide them in space. When the time comes, the poisonous insects will die on their own.

It is also the only way to reduce the reproduction of poisonous insects.

Lu Zhanyan realized the viciousness of the poison only after receiving the letter via carrier pigeon. He immediately announced it to the world, reissued the announcement from the Heavenly Punishment Department, and ordered all government offices in all regions to actively cooperate.

The people of Daqian now had a direction to act in and were no longer so panicked.

The government office became busy, and when Lu Zhanyan saw his brother's carrier pigeon message, he immediately asked someone to make an iron armor.

Lu Zhanxing felt that he owed his younger brother Xing a lot. His younger brother Xing had helped him so much. His presence had always been there before and after he ascended the throne, but he had no way to repay his younger brother Xing.

My brother only likes handsome men, but I have stopped him many times, which is really wrong.

Otherwise, why don't you just follow me from now on?

Once this matter is settled, I will help my brother in the selection!

The reason for selecting handsome men is that the Heavenly Punishment Department needs a special department. Not only handsome men are selected, but also those with various skills. This way, my brother won’t be too bored.

Lu Zhanyan, who was sitting in front of the imperial desk, rubbed his brows with a headache. When he thought of his younger brother being surrounded by handsome men, he was speechless.

But what can I do?

Since my brother Xing is so nice, I can only pamper him.

Lu Zhanxing, who was in Qingzhou, had no idea that her brother had actually figured it out, otherwise she would have to flatter her brother no matter what she said.

Lu Zhanxing was busy in the Tianfa Division and often took yamen runners to people's homes to catch poisonous insects.

The people who lost their loved ones were given a hundred taels of silver as a consolation by the government in accordance with the previous announcement of His Majesty, and those who had no pillars of support at home were given jobs.

Anyway, she had already told her brother about this matter. Paper mills and newspaper printing shops both needed people, so they could open branches in various places and expand production.

For those without parents, the government will arrange for them to be sent to college, either to study or to learn a skill, so that they will never starve when they grow up, and they can give back to their alma mater after graduation.

With the people’s future guaranteed, they will naturally have a greater sense of belonging to the country.

Mu Qingli was worried about Lu Zhanxing dealing with the poison, so she took the initiative to join the Heavenly Punishment Division.

So, without saying anything, Mu Qingli was appointed as the deputy commander of the Heavenly Punishment Division. In this way, someone would take charge of the job and she could continue to lie down in the future.

Lu Zhanxing was happy, and Mu Qingli was even happier.

He felt that he and Lu Zhanxing had become closer, whether in official duties or taking care of the children.

There are also more topics to talk about.

I don't feel like I've been taken advantage of by someone...
