Mo Jingxing was about to turn around and look towards the source of the sound.

His already sulky expression looked a little cold due to suspicion, and his tall black figure looked a bit oppressive in the night.

Le Yu instinctively felt a familiar danger under the wooden board, and even her butt began to hurt.

He suddenly covered Ping An's mouth, trying to hide it, his eyes flashing with excitement and eagerness to try.

I don’t know why, but I just like to see Mo Jingxing jumping around and being helpless.

The footsteps on the top moved, moved a few steps, and stood directly on top.

Le Yu's eyes widened even more.

Ping An struggled for a while, feeling dangerous and curious at the same time.

Could it be that her mother found her?

After such a long time, her mother must have been very anxious because she couldn't find her. She was afraid of the younger brother in front of her who looked younger than her, but she didn't dare to resist vigorously.

Mo Jingxing squatted down, looked at a not-so-obvious wooden hole, and reached out to touch it.

"master."

There was a sudden sound behind him, it was Zhi Su.

Mo Jingxing withdrew his outstretched hand, stood up, glanced underneath, and withdrew his probing eyes.

"What's the matter?"

"That's not right." Zhi Su looked serious, "I came here looking for the young master, but this wine tasting party doesn't seem to be normal."

Mo Jing walked two steps away from the wooden board: "Say."

"The wine here is given to you every time, and there is no charge. But I smelled this wine, and there is something wrong. It is just a trick to deceive these poor people. If your Majesty can taste it, you will know that it is full of tempered herbs.

taste."

Mo Jing's actions have nothing to do with himself: "It's just selling fake medicine and making money from stupid people. Why do you care about this?"

"Not only that, I smell it, there's morphine in it."

morphine.

An exotic and very ancient term.

If they hadn't traveled around for more than a year and visited so many places that they had heard about it and even seen it, Zhi Su wouldn't have been able to talk about it.

Mo Jingxing frowned obviously.

Morphine has extremely addictive effects and is often used as medicine in the far West. When used in large quantities, it can numb people's nerves.

Mo Jingxing once saw it used on seriously injured soldiers. The old military doctor said that if this drug is used continuously for a period of time, it will form an addiction in the body.

When the poison takes effect, the person feels uncomfortable scratching his heart and lungs, and his whole body feels like being bitten by tens of millions of ants.

When the will is weak, it is easy for others to control the mind, thereby achieving the purpose of psychological invasion.

This kind of medicine will also be used on captured prisoners. Once the prisoners are useful, using the medicine to coerce the information out will have a great effect.

So when he heard about morphine, Mo Jingxing was obviously a little shocked.

After a while, he sneered: "We're on the pirate ship."

Zhi Su pondered, but he thought so in his heart.

Before boarding the ship, I thought that there was at least some smuggling on this ship involving collusion between government and businessmen, which was probably inseparable from shipping.

While he was disdainful, he also abandoned Wei Siyun in his heart, feeling that even if he became the emperor, his governance methods were not strong enough.

Because if there is something fishy about such a large merchant ship, it is not just a matter of the local officials of a state or county.

And now if morphine is involved, it is even more unlikely to be just a local issue.

If this was not done behind closed doors by the imperial officials and involved, it would not have been possible on such a large scale.

And what is the purpose of these people?

If it was just smuggling souvenirs, why was morphine involved?

Even if there is something wrong with morphine, then why do we feed morphine into the mouths of these poor people through wine tasting?

Morphine is worth much more than the life of any poor man.

Unless there are other invisible people involved in the process, and it is even more incredible to operate secretly.

The top priority is to confirm whether the morphine in Zhi Su's mouth was suspected of being mistaken for her.

Mo Jingxing pondered for a moment, and then briefly glanced at the floor.

The little thing probably found something interesting inside, and he couldn't escape for the time being, so he wouldn't be in a hurry to dig it out.

He walked towards the wine tasting conference and said, "Go and confirm whether it is really morphine."

Zhi Su quickly followed.

The conversation and footsteps between the two gradually faded away, and Le Yu let go of Ping An's hand and breathed a sigh of relief but not very happily: "Huh!"

Ping An was inexplicable: "Don't you want to be discovered?"

She didn't understand a word of what the two people were talking about about morphine, but judging from their tone, there seemed to be something fishy on this ship.

So she secretly wrote it down and planned to talk to her mother later.

Squatting in this small space, Ping An's legs were very sore. She couldn't help but move and looked at the wooden board above her head: "I want to get out."

"No!" Le Yu said fiercely, "No!"

This brother is really cruel. I hope the brother she and her mother find is not cruel.

But my mother is so gentle and she is not fierce, so my brother must not be fierce.

Le Yu picked up the kitten again, planning to nest it here until Mo Jing Xing found him again.

He knew that it was dangerous outside, so he couldn't just run out.

But cats are not dangerous.

He was not allowed to move safely, but at this time there were footsteps again outside.

Peaceful, nervous and looking forward to it.

But Le Yu was extremely impatient. Why are there always people disturbing this crappy place?

"Peace?" A female voice was gentle and anxious: "Is peace there?"

He suddenly became excited: "Mother! It's mother!"

It’s my mother again!

Le Yu frowned in extreme displeasure and pushed Ping An to the ground: "Don't shout!"

"But -" Ping An cried aggrievedly: "But mother is worried!"

It’s okay to worry!

Why is it that Mo Jingxing is so indifferent every time he comes to find him, and even scolds him when he finds him? Zhisu and the others are even more so, they only call him "little master" repeatedly.

But the woman outside is very gentle.

She was so anxious when Ping An disappeared, but she was not angry because she was anxious.

he does not like!

He threw the kitten away and covered Ping An's mouth to prevent her from screaming.

Ping An was really angry now. His mother was outside and she would be very anxious if she couldn't find him.

So she opened her mouth and bit Le Yu.

"Ah!" Le Yu let go in pain, stretched her body, and directly pressed Ping An on the ground.

The two little bodies were wrestling together.

Le Yu was bitten, her pigtails were loosened, and her robe was scattered all over her body.

Ping An was scratched on the face, and the skin on his little hand was broken.

As they were being beaten, their bodies hurt, and both of them started to cry.

The sound of crying came out, and He Yunchu, who was about to sneak to the second floor to look for her, was suddenly startled.

There was clearly a sound of peace in the midst.

"Safe?" She gradually approached the hole in the wooden board, suspicion growing on her face.

Ping An doesn't often cry, let alone cry like this.

There is another child's voice here.

what happened?

Two children fell into a hole together?

...Why is there a cat meowing again?

He Yunchu opened the broken wooden board with questions on his head.

Then the whole person froze in place.
