Chapter 640 Laws are issued(2/2)

Xi Yu took a deep breath and decided to send envoys to various places to investigate the planting of poppy and other substances. Once discovered, severe punishment would be made.

Xi Yu stood there, secretly swearing in his heart that he must create a healthy and safe living environment for the people and make the country more prosperous.

Xi Yu ordered Qin Feng to say, "Qin Feng, take the shopkeeper and the woman to the local county magistrate's prison."

Qin Feng bowed his hand to take the order with a serious expression.

"As for orders, Prime Minister."

Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "I mean, educate them for a few days, let them deeply realize their mistakes, and then put them back. But let them know that if they commit it again in the future, they will be beheaded directly, and it will be merciless!" At the end of the day, a ruthlessness flashed through Xi Yu's eyes.

Qin Feng nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will convey your will clearly."

On the way, the shopkeeper who was escorting the housekeeper was frightened, his face turned pale, and he said tremblingly: "Prime Minister, please spare me, Prime Minister, I know I was wrong, and I will never make any more mistakes in the future!"

The woman also had tears on her face and begged for mercy cryingly, "Prime Minister, we really don't dare!"

Qin Feng looked at the shopkeeper and the woman with a serious look on his face, frowned and scolded, "Don't quarrel! Quiet!" His eyes were filled with majesty and impatientness.

The shopkeeper was full of panic on his face, and he struggled while shouting in a crying voice: "Official, we really know we are wrong, don't keep us from touching us!"

His face was full of horror and his eyes were wide open.

The woman also cried so hard that she was in the rain, and her voice screamed sharply: "We don't want to go to jail, please be kind to the lord!" Her expression was very distorted, and her hands were waving randomly in the air.

Qin Feng snorted coldly and said impatiently: "It's just a few days of detention, not your life, why are you so desperate?" His eyes were full of confusion and disgust.

After hearing Qin Feng's words, the shopkeeper and the woman were stunned for a moment, and then their voices gradually became smaller.

The shopkeeper still had fear on his face, but he still said, "Official, we...we are just afraid."

Qin Feng escorted the shopkeeper and the woman to the county magistrate's mansion.

After hearing the news, the county magistrate hurriedly came out, his face full of respect and caution. As soon as he saw Qin Feng, he bowed and said, "Sir, the official is here to pick up people."

A hint of nervousness appeared in his eyes, as if he was dealing with an extremely important thing.

Qin Feng nodded slightly, looked at the county magistrate and said, "The Prime Minister has specifically told you to take good care of these two people." His expression was serious, and there was a hint of majesty in his eyes.

The county magistrate quickly responded: "Don't worry, sir, the subordinates will follow the order."

He said, his eyes turning to the shopkeeper and the woman, a trace of severity flashed in his eyes.

Then with a wave of his hand, the yamen runners behind him immediately stepped forward and took the two from Qin Feng's hands.

Seeing that they were taken away, the county magistrate turned to Qin Feng again and said flatteringly: "Sir, do you see if you have any instructions to the officials?"

Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Just do your best."

The county magistrate nodded repeatedly and said yes.

Qin Feng quickly walked into the inn, came to Xi Yu, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, my subordinates have handed those two to the county magistrate, and everything has been done."

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said with a serious expression: "Very good. Qin Feng, you should immediately notify the local county magistrate and ask him to seal the inn immediately without any mistakes." Xi Yu's eyes revealed firmness and majesty.

Qin Feng immediately responded: "Yes, Prime Minister!"

Xi Yu continued: "Also, let him post a notice in a conspicuous place to explain in detail the harm of poppy, so that the people can clearly know the terribleness of this thing." Xi Yu's expression was solemn, as if he was thinking about how to make the people deeply realize the importance of this matter.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "I understand."

Xi Yu frowned and continued, "In addition, eliminate all the poppy planted by the shopkeeper, and do not leave any hidden dangers."

A trace of decisiveness flashed in Qin Feng's eyes and replied: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, my subordinates will urge the county magistrate to handle this matter well."

After saying that, Qin Feng turned around and hurriedly left to perform the tasks assigned by Xi Yu.

At the entrance of Qingfeng Inn, many people gathered in front of the notice that had just been posted, pointing and talking.

"Oh, isn't this Qingfeng Inn? Such a thing happened." A passerby widened his eyes and looked surprised.

Several waiters stood at the entrance of the inn, looking at the notice, and looked incredible.

One of the waiters murmured: "I really didn't expect it to be like this. No wonder the food suddenly became so delicious!" Their faces were full of surprise and confusion.

The people around them also began to complain, and the sounds were heard one after another.

"Oh, I used to eat here often, how could this happen!" A commoner frowned and looked dissatisfied.

Especially those who had eaten at Qingfeng Inn, they were even more excited and immediately became insulted.

"What a broken store? It's so hateful!" A big man blushed and shouted angrily.

"That's right, it's so terrible. I'll never come here again!"

The other person followed, his face full of anger and disgust.

For a moment, the entrance of Qingfeng Inn was filled with complaints and insults, and the scene became chaotic.

In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted: "All this is the prime minister's credit! If the prime minister had not been wise and decisive, we would not have known how long we would have been kept in the dark!"

As soon as his voice fell, it immediately resonated with the people around him, and everyone agreed.

"Yes, yes, the Prime Minister is really eliminating the harm for the people!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
