Chapter 68: Anti-smoking Plan

It's November, and it's a little chilly even in Fujian.

The cloak Chi Xia brought out was quite wide and thick.

Throwing the hood over, it can basically wrap most of the boy inside, especially when the hood is pulled up, nothing can be seen.

Before Yong Zheng had time to stop him, he saw her throwing the cloak out. He frowned subconsciously, took off his own cloak, put it on her shoulders, and pulled her out: "Don't waste time."

Fucha Jinbao was very discerning and muttered, "This is bad luck." He stretched out his hand to put Zheng Yuanning in his arms, and pushed the thief to Liu Piansheng.

"You're lucky, let's go."

As a "super VIP" like him, the casino would naturally not dare to check him. In addition, the person he was hugging was wearing a woman's cloak, so he thought it was his new female companion, so he let him go after a quick look.

He even apologized for the cabin fire in a good-natured manner, saying that he had disappointed the distinguished guest and would definitely prepare a generous apology next time.

The fire in the back cabin was about to reach the front. Fucha Jinbao led his people on to his warship. He saw that Yongzheng, Chi Xia, and Yue Zhongqi were also back, and he was relieved.

He quickly threw Zheng Yuanning away like a hot potato.

Zheng Yuanning was pushed by him and staggered, one knee hit the ground, but he only groaned and slowly tried to get up.

I only climbed twice and was sweating so much that I couldn't even stand up.

Chi Xia didn't look right.

Fucha Jinbao snorted coldly: "Why, were you injured when burning the boat?"

Zheng Yuanning gritted his teeth and climbed up with his hands on the ground: "No."

"You are very brave, you are crazy. You dare to burn other people's boats." Fucha Jinbao was amazed: "Do you know who owns this gambling house?"

Zheng Yuanning was like a saw-headed gourd, determined not to speak.

Instead, Chi Xia asked: "Whose family?"

She really wanted to know who opened this place that seemed to be a "smoking shop" and a "casino" in one.

"Well, it's opened by Zhang's cousin from the Shipping Department." Fucha Jinbao didn't dare to hide it: "There's also a boss who I heard is the largest tea merchant in Fuzhou."

Chi Xia: "So what is their rear cabin used for?"

Fucha Jinbao looked away in embarrassment, his eyes wandering: "Just... Qin Lou Chu Pavilion."

Chi Xia said "Oh": "Then what about the smoker they talked about?"

When it comes to this, Fucha Jinbao is not so embarrassed: "Hey, there are also Western cigarettes there, and some people who are greedy for novelty will smoke big cigarettes there."

It seems that in his mind, going to a brothel is still a bit embarrassing, but smoking is not a big deal.

Hearing "Western smoke", Zheng Yuanning's eyes flashed with resentment, and he quickly lowered his head to hide it.

Chi Xia kept looking at him with her peripheral vision and did not miss the change in her expression: "We Ming people don't tell secrets. Since I saved you, I will definitely not hand you over, but I want to know why you burned them.

The boat? Is it because of those Western cigarettes?"

The man who was carried out by Liu Piansheng seemed to have been hearing this for a long time and only now reacted.

Yigulu got up from the ground and grabbed Zheng Yuanning: "You burned the boat?! Then did you take out the smoke? Did you!"

Zheng Yuanning was so painful that he broke into cold sweat. His eyes were red and he gritted his teeth: "No."

The man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he pinched and hit him like crazy: "Are you crazy! Why don't you steal it out! Do you want to watch me die! Say it! Say it!! Both you and your mother are

madman!"

Zheng Yuanning seemed to have an injury on his leg. He didn't want to argue with him at first. He protected his head with one hand and let him vent. But when he heard this, he suddenly became violent and pushed the man away: "Then you go to hell! You

I have no right to mention her!"

Chi Xia:……

Love and hate are a bit complicated.

But that's not important. What's important is that her "Sea King" cannot be wasted here.

Yong Zheng also frowned, seeing that this man was crazy, he was indeed a drug addict.

Liu Piao was afraid of staining the eyes of his masters, so he quickly pulled the man away.

Chi Xia saw that Zheng Yuanning's eyes were a little blank in pain, and said quickly: "Go back first and call a doctor to take a look at this kid."

Don't really break your muscles.

On the vast sea, the fire on the "gambling boat" had spread to the entire ship, burning like a huge fireball, reflecting a small half of the sea area red in the blue water.

There were no casualties, and I don’t know how Zheng Yuanning lit the fire. The fire actually started slowly and evenly.

Fucha Jinbao also asked a frigate parked on the shore to be brought over to help fish out all the people who fell into the water.

After all this hard work, when they returned to the camp, it was already dark.

The few imperial doctors who were brought out were all anxious and sweating when they heard that the emperor had called him.

Su Peisheng and Miao Miao's hearts were in their throats, and they looked at the door more than a dozen times in a quarter of an hour. When they saw Yongzheng and Chi Xia coming back with their beards and tails intact, their hearts fell back into their stomachs.

Chi Xia pushed Zheng Yuanning to the imperial doctor and told Miao Miao: "Find him some clothes and change them later."

Zheng Yuanning was originally wearing gray and black clothes, which were a little white after washing.

Upon closer inspection under the light, everyone discovered that his knee had already been soaked with blood and was sticking to his leg wetly.

Just because the clothes were dark in color, others never noticed.

The two experienced doctors were shocked when they rolled up his trouser legs. There was a large area of ​​blood and flesh on his calf: "This, this injury is a bit deep. Did you walk all the way back? This needs to be fixed to prevent the bones from dislocating."

Chi Xia's scalp felt numb when he saw it, and he took a breath: "It won't leave any disability, right?"

The imperial doctor bandaged and fixed it and examined it carefully: "That shouldn't be a problem. He's still young and has strong healing power."

Zheng Yuanning also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked up, he saw Chi Xia looking at him seriously, and looked away a little embarrassed.

Chi Xia smiled, it seemed that this kid still knew how to be afraid.

Yongzheng asked everyone to retreat, leaving only Chi Xia and Zheng Yuanning.

Zheng Yuanning could tell that in the whole room, this man who had never spoken much was the real talker. He gave him a wary look: "I didn't bring any Western cigarettes."

"Well, I didn't ask you this," Chi Xia poured him a glass of water: "You hate this Western cigarette. Is your father addicted to this cigarette? How long have you been smoking it?"

This kid is probably still young. Even though he is very careful to control himself, he still has a kind of hatred and disgust that cannot be concealed when he mentions these words.

Zheng Yuanning knew that the doctor just now was a servant of her family and had received her favor, so she was embarrassed to remain completely silent like she did at the beginning.

But he refused to say more and just nodded: "I've been smoking for almost a year."

The progress of the conquest was at stake, so Chi Xia didn't want to go around in circles after he understood his position.

He directly expressed his attitude: "We hate smoking as much as you do. Not only that, we also want to find out the source of these smoking and ban smoking forever."

Zheng Yuanning raised his head suddenly, a little disbelieving, but also a little wanting to believe: "Why ban smoking? Smoking is not illegal."

"But you should have discovered that this cigarette is different from ordinary tobacco. You will become addicted if you smoke it, and you can't quit it at all." Chi Xia said seriously: "It can't be considered a cigarette, it should be considered a poison."

Zheng Yuanning bit his lip and couldn't help but hate it: "It's worse than poison. It makes people live worse than a dog."
