1645: What Does It Say?

What Does It Say?

Even though YN had traditionally been rich in poppy flowers, and the local government supported the various anti-drug conventions in their anti-drug efforts, many farmers in YN rely on growing poppy flowers to feed their families. YN's anti-drug initiatives had always been inadequate.2

However, at the time, it was explicitly stated in the convention that the YN government would regulate all farmers and would no longer allow them to grow poppy flowers privately.

However, most of Master Sen's supply had come from local farmers in recent years. Zhu Jiu knew Master Sen was planning to start his own firm. Over the years, a significant number of Master Sen's farmers had come to an agreement—one would be responsible for planting, and the other would be responsible for purchasing as much as they could.

That treaty would deprive Master Sen of his money. One could even argue that the treaty was intended to deal with Master Sen.

"Do you recall how you and that idiotic woman, Zhu Qianlan, informed me about Jiang Yao back then, Master Zhu?" Master Sen asked sinisterly.

Yes, how could he have forgotten?

Zhu Jiu recalled Zhu Qianlan telling him that Jiang Yao was just a regular female medical university student. She had simply relied on marrying a reasonably capable military husband!

However, when the Zhu family investigated Jiang Yao and Jiang Yao's spouse, they were cautioned by Jindo City residents who had heard the news. The locals had urged the Zhu family not to have any ill will toward Jiang Yao.

The Zhu family had already realized that Jiang Yao was not the simple-minded small-town girl she looked to be at the time.

Everyone in the Zhu family knew at the time that a small-town couple had compelled the Zhu family to disown Zhu Qianlan.

The neurotoxin, on the other hand, was too appealing. Master Sen desired it, and the Zhu family wanted it as well!

Despite multiple attempts and inquiries, the Zhu family chose to take that enormous risk. At the time, the Zhu family believed that as long as they received the neurotoxic, it did not matter if the entire Zhu family left the country. As long as they were closely tied to Master Sen, no one in YN could equal Master Sen, who commanded a vast army.

As a result, the Zhu family told Master Sen that Jiang Yao was only a college student the Divine Doctor had approved, and Jiang Yao's husband was only an ordinary soldier. Both the husband and woman were from an unknown city.

On the other hand, Zhu Jiu was skeptical that Master Sen had not dispatched more investigators. He probably believed their words because they could not find anything else.

"I am a little intrigued. Do you believe the Divine Doctor is no longer alive?" Unwillingly, Zhu Jiu inquired.

"What difference does it make if I believe it? What does it matter if I do not believe it?" Master Sen could not have anyone in the small town, so all he could do was wait.

If the Divine Doctor were not dead, he would show up sooner or later.

At the time, it would be best for him to avoid the subject for as long as possible.

"Do you know who Master Cheng is in your country?" Master Sen placed the teacup he held for a long time on the table. When his fingertips brushed against the solid wood tea table, he softly pressed the table's button, generating a dull banging sound.

That sound felt a little harsh and menacing.

"Although the Cheng family has been silent for the past ten to twenty years, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, as the phrase goes in your nation. Didn't your ancestors claim to be a hundred-year-old noble family on par with the Chengs? Then how come you are unaware that Jiang Yao is Master Cheng's daughter?"

After that, Master Sen abruptly raised his hand and banged it hard on the table as if the force was ready to break it.
