Chapter 1005 Thirty Years of War (1/2)
After sending Qi Yutong away, Qi Wan got into a busy work schedule. He left early and came back late every day, and rarely saw anyone at home.
Qi Yuanhao could probably guess what Qi Huan was busy with. He was happy to see the results and wished that Qi Huan would be more busy. Qin Minyan left because Qi Yutong left, and Qi Huan had no time to stay at home with her, so he felt a little sick. Damn it, even the blind date party held for Qi Wan couldn't cheer him up.
Although the boy is back, it is no different from being outside now. He is obviously at home, but he can't see his face. It's just that the boy has too many things to be busy with, and Qi Wang is a young commander. He was even more busy with official duties, and it was hard for Qin Minyan to disturb him.
Qi Heng sent people to find out the reason for Qi Yutong's departure, but the people he sent out were as if they were lost in the sea, and no trace could be found again. Qi Heng waited and waited, but did not wait for the news to come from his men. He felt a strange feeling in his heart. I felt a little uneasy and felt that something was not quite right.
However, he couldn't stop now if he wanted to. Just when Qi Heng sensed something was wrong and didn't want to make any more changes, he was put in a sack and resisted when he went out.
Qi Heng: "!!!"
Qi Heng prides himself on his good skills, and others are no match for him. Because of this, he rarely takes anyone with him when he goes out. Who would have thought that this time his boat capsized in a ditch and was caught? Qi Heng was there He kept struggling in the sack, trying to reason with those who tied him, but instead of paying attention to him, those people even tied him up tightly with hemp rope outside, so that he could no longer move. .
Qi Heng, who was tied up like a pig: "..."
Are these people deliberately humiliating him?
Knowing that he couldn't escape, Qi Heng calmed down and stayed in the sack obediently. At the same time, his mind began to think rapidly.
He shouldn't have offended anyone recently. Qi Heng is basically very aware of the methods of those who have grudges against him in Jinling City. Although those people usually make loud noises, they are all extremely timid. These people can do things like using force in front of him or playing tricks behind the scenes, but they can't do things like this when he kidnaps people.
Qi Yuanhao is also well-known in this part of the south. He has great power. He has money from the army and has contacts with many officials in the government department. As Qi Yuanhao's son - even the most unpromising and most promising person. These people don't dare to do anything secretly to their unpopular son.
If it weren't for his identity as Dashuai Qi's son, and just based on Qi Heng's past actions, he would have been slapped with countless sacks. How could Xiaoxiao have survived till now?
I didn't see that Chen Tai'an, the self-proclaimed powerful man of the Chen family, didn't dare to attack him. The three brothers were beaten up by him, and they lost so much face. In the end, they had to come to the door with their things to apologize?
Who could have kidnapped him?
Qi Heng listened intently and felt that the person carrying him was moving forward very fast. They were obviously four people moving together, but the footsteps were not messy, and their starting and falling movements were all consistent. At first glance, it sounded like There was only the sound of one person's footsteps.
He was surrounded by a group of people outside the Crescent Hotel. The people were old and young. They looked like ordinary people having a gathering. Qi Heng did not notice anything wrong with them at first, until he was When those people had to give way to the entrance of a small alley, he realized something was wrong.
However, it was already too late at that time. Qi Heng was put in a sack from behind. Those people were extremely agile and walked quietly. They were obviously close behind him, but he didn't even notice at all. Without realizing it, it was obvious that they were well-trained and well-prepared, with a clear goal, and they were coming for him.
But why did they catch him? Qi Wang felt that it was not a kidnapping. Those people cooperated well and had a tacit understanding with each other. They were obviously not a mob. Moreover, no matter what he said or even deliberately provoked them, they did not attack him. This was also seen from the side. It proved that they, or should I say the people behind them, did not have any murderous intention towards him, otherwise he would not be able to be carried away safely by them after saying such irritating words.
The alley where Qi Heng was caught was not too deep. He silently counted the time, trying to estimate how far they had gone and where they wanted to take him.
His sense of direction was very good. Even if he was wrapped in a sack and his eyes were completely dark and he couldn't see anything, he could still roughly estimate where he was being taken.
Those people took Qi Heng out of the alley and locked him in the car. After the car started, Qi Heng immediately pricked up his ears, trying to determine where he was based on the sounds outside.
However, the few people who had been silent all this time suddenly started talking. Qi Heng originally thought that they would have some useful information, but in the end, what those people were talking about was what was the dish for lunch today.
"I think that plate of sweet and sour pork is good. It's sour and sweet. The tenderloin wrapped inside is plump and juicy. After being soaked in the soup, the taste is even better."
"I think the Guobao Pork is more delicious. When it comes out of the pot, I sprinkle a layer of chili powder on it. The spiciness stimulates my taste buds. The Guobao Pork tastes delicious and makes people's mouths move. I ate one. Want to have another one. ”
"None of what you said is right, the chicken with vine pepper is still delicious..."
Qi Heng: "..."
These people were obviously talking about delicious food, and the adjectives were just right, but their tone of voice had no ups and downs, and it sounded as if they were reading a text.
But it was such a ghostly sound, but Qi Heng was involuntarily attracted to it. By the time he came to his senses and realized what he should do, the car had already driven out for a long time, and he couldn't tell the difference at all. Find out where you are.
These people must have done it on purpose! ! !
At this moment, Qi Heng suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity with their methods. He always felt that this scene seemed familiar, as if he had experienced it not long ago.
Qi Heng, who was still a little nervous, suddenly calmed down. He closed his eyes silently and made no more small moves.
After he stopped, those who were still chatting awkwardly about the taste of the lunch they had and whether they thought it tasted stopped talking, and the carriage fell into a deathly silence.
He should have been very nervous at first, but when Qi Heng's tense nerves relaxed, he suddenly felt a little sleepy. He simply closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep in a short time.
When snoring sounded in the car, the people in the car all looked at Qi Heng, who was tied up and stuffed in a sack.
Everyone: "..."
Does this guy have such a big heart?
***
When Qi Heng woke up again, he was already in a clean room. The bed he slept on was a little hard and uncomfortable. He didn't know how long he had slept here. When he woke up Afterwards, I felt soreness in my waist and back, and felt uncomfortable all over.
The walls in the room were painted white. It was supposed to be a clean and bright color, but for some reason, Qi Heng felt a little uncomfortable looking at the pale walls. What made him even more uncomfortable was the room. The smell of disinfectant water in the room made him feel sick in his heart just by smelling it.
It's just that he is not sure where he is yet. If he vomits it out like this, Qi Heng feels that he will not be able to get anything good, so he forcibly holds back and just sits on the bed with a dark face. Originally, The gentle face full of smiles revealed a somewhat sinister and distant look when not smiling.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and a tall figure wearing a white coat walked in from the outside. He had gold-rimmed eyes on his face, and his expression was as calm as a cliff. The trees are like cedars, giving off a sense of isolation and aloofness.
Qi Heng raised his head and looked over. When he saw the man, he curled up his lips and gave him a standard dandy smile: "Brother, you are here."
Qi Wang sat down on the chair opposite Qi Heng, with his two long legs in silver-gray suit trousers overlapping each other. He pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "You don't seem to be surprised at all. "
I heard from his subordinates that Qi Heng had been struggling before and tried every means to escape. However, after getting in the car, he suddenly calmed down and even fell asleep. At that time, he was sleeping soundly, and he didn't wake up until this time.
If he didn't already know who brought him here, he wouldn't be like this.
Qi Heng chuckled, looking a bit honest: "That's natural. Didn't the eldest brother play this kind of joke with the younger brother last time? I remember it. I think this is just the eldest brother playing with his younger brother. It’s a unique intimacy game. Now that I know it’s my eldest brother who wants to bring me here, I have nothing to be afraid of.”
Qi Wang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will do something bad to you?"
Qi Heng waved his hand and said very confidently: "No, if I don't even have this little trust, how can I be my eldest brother's younger brother? I can rest assured that eldest brother is doing things. I think he has things that he doesn't want people to know. Tell me, that’s why you brought me here in an inconspicuous way.”
Qi Wan did not deny this, but nodded in agreement: "You are right, I came to you because I have something to ask you to help me with."
As he said that, Qi Huan took out two pocket watches from his arms and threw them to Qi Heng. The things he threw out seemed to be careless, but there was a bit of skill in them. If he didn't catch it well, his hands might be broken. injured.
However, Qi Heng steadily caught the watch thrown by Qi Wang. He glanced down. When he saw the two special notches on the dial, Qi Heng's pupils tightened.
"What does the elder brother want me to do? My younger brother, I will go through fire and water without hesitation. As long as you tell me, I will go through all kinds of dangers."
It feels good to talk to smart people. It takes almost no effort for the other person to already know what he means. Qi Wan smiled and said directly: "You should know where the Chen family's tobacco fields are, right?"
As soon as he said this, Qi Heng's face changed slightly, and the smile on his face froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, pretending to be confused, and said with doubts on his face: "Brother, what do you mean? What do you mean? As you know, I don't really care about these things, I don't know..."
Before Qi Heng could finish speaking, Qi Wang interrupted him: "I have a medicine in my hand called Dayanjing. This medicine is spread by wind. Dayan seedlings will die if they get it. A bottle of two hundred milliliters of medicine can kill all the smoke seedlings within a hundred miles, and there will be no more smoke seedlings in this land. "
Qi Huan said these words in a very calm tone. However, when he said these words, the impact on Qi Heng's heart was no less than a seven-magnitude earthquake. His face suddenly changed. He had pretended to be The dandy smile that came out could no longer be faked. His eyes were looking at Qi Wan for a moment, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Brother, is what you said true? Can the big smoke net you mentioned really achieve the effect you said? Are you kidding? No, no, how can there be such a medicine in this world? Is that poisonous? Will it harm normal crops? Is it a bacterial weapon? Brother, where did you get these things? Really?"
It's no wonder that Qi Heng lost his composure at this time. You must know that there are so many opium dens in Jinling City, and those who smoke opium without restraint. The price of opium is high, and the demand for opium is huge, but opium is not It came out of thin air, but was extracted from a flower called tobacco seedling. In order to obtain huge profits, many fertile fields were turned into tobacco fields, which were planted with tobacco seedlings.
After all, the fields of those wealthy families are limited, and their eyes are fixed on the land in the hands of farmers. In order to allow farmers to plant tobacco seedlings, they continue to suppress the price of grain, and the price of purchasing grain is getting lower and lower. In the end, the farmers could no longer make ends meet, and at this time, they began to buy tobacco seedlings at high prices. For the sake of profit, those farmers stopped planting food, and all they planted in the fields were tobacco seedlings.
Because the price of food on the market is cheap, farmers can buy cheap food, and the money they earn from planting tobacco seedlings can still save a lot. The farmers have tasted the benefits, and are naturally more willing to plant tobacco seedlings. .
The smoke produced by the big tobacco seedlings is addictive. Some farmers are exposed to the big smoke out of curiosity or for other reasons, and the consequences will be It is conceivable that the money they saved by growing tobacco seedlings will eventually be looted by those people, and the only thing waiting for them is a tragic death.
The situation in the past few years has been pretty good, so we haven't seen any problems yet. But if people don't grow food anymore, where will the food in the future come from? After all, there is a limited amount of food in the granary. Once there is a severe drought, or those wealthy families and unscrupulous businessmen start to drive up food prices, the consequences will be unimaginable.
If they grow food, the common people can still save some emergency rations, but now they have to buy all their food from outside. Whether it is tobacco or food, they are all controlled by those people. Once they start to get stuck with these things, wait What will be their fate?
If those black-hearted people were really willing to distribute benefits to the common people, they wouldn't do things like open opium dens everywhere.
Faced with this situation, they are helpless. After all, the benefits of growing tobacco can be seen with the naked eye. Those ordinary people cannot see long-term things. What they can see are the immediate benefits and the benefits that can be obtained. Others are not useful to them. It's all illusory stuff.
This cannot be blamed on their short-sightedness. It’s just that the chaos has been severe in recent years and the policies have changed too much. Sometimes one policy was adopted last year, and another policy was adopted the next year. After the new policy was changed, the previous policy became invalid. Their efforts were in vain. After being tricked many times, the common people naturally learned how to survive - let's talk about the future in the future, and grasping the present is the most important thing.
That's why Qi Heng was so excited when he heard Qi Huan said that there was a way to wipe out those big cigarettes from the root. He didn't care about anything else. He stood up from the bed suddenly and strode to Qi Huan. , looked down at Qi Wang who was sitting there, and asked eagerly: "Brother, is everything you said true? Is there really the kind of thing you said? How much do you have? Can you produce it on a large scale?"
The profits from opium are too huge. Those people don't care about the harm of these things. All they can see are huge profits. For profit, they can do anything. Jinling is not the only one where opium dens are everywhere. The problem of urbanization is serious in all parts of the country, and the problem of farmers growing tobacco instead of food is also happening all over the country.
A huge crisis is approaching, and the sword hanging above your head will fall at any time. People who want to change are working hard to reverse everything, but the power of individuals is always weak. Even the government is secretly supporting the smoking cessation. Even the families of many officials are openly opening opium dens. How can they infringe on their own interests while helping the common people?
Anyway, they have a lot of money in their hands, and they have plenty of food anyway. Even if something happens, they will not suffer any harm, and only the common people will suffer.
"I have conducted experiments. Dayanjing is a medicine I made for tobacco. It is only effective against tobacco and will not cause any harm to other crops. Not only does it not harm the land, it can also nourish the tobacco. Land invaded by seedlings.”
Having said this, Qi Wan paused for a moment, and then his expression turned serious when he looked at Qi Heng.
"Qi Heng, haven't you revealed your identity until now? I can give you this, but before that, you have to prove your identity."
Qi Heng's expression flashed and he fell silent.
