Chapter 4 Becoming a new person
Zheng Zhipeng had been crazy for about half a night, and the three of them stayed with him for half a night, and they were all worried for a while.
Finally, in the second half of the night, Zheng Zhipeng finally calmed down, his body stopped twisting randomly, and his expression became peaceful, and he also signaled them to take away the things on his mouth with his eyes.
"Uncle Fourth, are you okay? Then I'll put you down now."
"Don't, the fourth uncle hasn't been able to do it yet. It's only temporary now. Let me tie me up all the time. Please let the kitchen cook something for me."
"Uncle Fourth, what's going on?"
Zheng Zhipeng thought for a while and said, "Uncle Fourth has been slaughtered."
"Get a Gu?"
"Yes, this Xiaoyao ointment is the Gu I was put on. You can see how I look. In addition to being addicted, this thing will also penetrate your brain, make you confused, and even manipulate your thoughts. Uncle Fourth has done a lot of confused things before, all of which are related to this thing."
Take the opportunity to turn the blame.
"This... this thing is so terrible? Can I tell me who is harming you?"
"I haven't had time to check it out yet, but as far as I know, this thing is not my native Chinese, but comes from the sea. I suspect that it was deliberately sold to us by the Dutch, and the impact on people before it was cut off will not be discovered at all. If this thing is used on a large scale by the Ming people..."
Zheng Chenggong was furious and cursed: "The Red-haired Japanese, so vicious!"
"You will write a letter to your elder brother later and inform him of this matter. Our family has the final say at sea for the time being. In any case, we cannot let this thing appear in the territory of the Ming Dynasty again. As for me, I don't know when I can quit this thing. If you don't quit it, your fourth uncle will be a waste for the rest of your life."
"Okay, don't worry, my nephew will support you with all his strength."
After a while, the raw crab roe porridge made in the kitchen was ready, and Takawa took it to feed him. Zheng Zhipeng asked them for a cigar. After a few bites, he was still scared for a while.
The poison he was infected with was just the most primitive opium, and he was swallowed, so the poisoning was not deep and there was a possibility of withdrawal. Compared with those purified white powder in later generations, I really don’t know what kind of torture it was. Those who did this job were shot for five minutes without much.
Just like that, a month passed.
For a month, Zheng Zhipeng started to go crazy every day, then went crazy every two or three days, and then didn't see him crazy for seven or eight days. At this time, he was almost gone.
During this period, Zheng Zhilong came here in person, and happened to catch up with Zheng Zhipeng going crazy. The heroic figure who felt distressed was crying. It is said that he had a big fight with the Dutch when he went back. Since then, he has set rules that if anyone touches this thing on the sea, his whole family will die.
After his drug addiction gradually became weaker, Zheng Zhipeng was no longer tied up, but he never returned to his yard. He insisted on learning sword techniques from Yuemon and exercising his body every day. His body was overly drunk and tortured by opium, but it was actually very bad. He had to work ten times more hard to recover.
During this process, the Takawa family's impression of him improved a lot. After all, the pain was obvious. This perseverance was based on them to admire him. This was not something that the tycoons of waste and fertile children could do. As for the ridiculous things he had done before, it was naturally the pot of opium.
Another month later, the drug addiction never broke out again. Zheng Zhipeng finally confirmed that he had successfully quit drugs.
As soon as I thought about this, I felt that even the sunlight became warmer and my heart was bright.
Not easy, it's really not easy.
Zheng Zhipeng also cooked himself and made a few side dishes that were only available in modern times to entertain the Takawa family. He also made an exception and asked Euemon Jin to serve the table together. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you sister-in-law, thank you for your kindness, thank you brothers Uemon. Without you, I might be a waste in my life, so I will be respectful."
Takawa said stutteringly: "Uncle, it's hard to say that, it's you who have perseverance."
"Sister-in-law, I have another unhappy request."
"Uncle, please tell me."
"I want to borrow the brothers Yuemon to help me for a while. I have suffered such a great crime for nothing. I can't just forget this. The people in my front yard were all attracted when I was poisoned. I don't know if there is any opponent's eyeliner. It's really embarrassing and dare not use it."
Takawa smiled and said, "Since I got married to the Zheng family, I am the wife of the Zheng family. Uncle is so disgusting. Uemon, you will work with your uncle during the next period of time."
"yes."
"Thank you sister-in-law."
After drinking a few more drinks, Zheng Zhipeng stood up and said goodbye. He has been making trouble for others in the past two months. He knew very well that Tian Chuan was unwilling to let him contact Zheng Chenggong, regardless of whether he was a playboy or not.
Needless to say, it is not a playboy. In fact, people are even more reluctant to let their son contact him because the couple is determined to train Zheng Chenggong to be a scholar. They have never mentioned a word to Zheng Chenggong in their family business.
Although Zheng Zhipeng knew very well that being a Japanese pirate leader is much more promising than being a scholar or even a high-ranking official these days, no one believed this except him.
When he returned to his yard, Zheng Zhipeng's first thing was to disband all the servants who had followed him on weekdays. Each of them gave him 200 taels of severance payment and asked the Takawa family to help him hire another batch.
What kind of masters look for and what kind of slaves? For Zheng Zhipeng at this time, these people are useless except for the annoying.
Even the maid left only two close-fitting people through the room. This kind of woman is actually almost the same as a concubine. If she releases her, she will kill her. One of them is called Xiaodie and the other is called Xiaolian. Xiaodie plays the jade flute with one hand and Xiaolian plays the pipa with one hand. This is the thin horse that spent 500 taels of silver to buy into the house. She is not a forced robbery.
Nowadays, even the maid who can go to the kitchen is only worth three or four taels of silver. But these two thin horses cost him a total of one thousand taels. It is conceivable that his figure is extraordinary and he is not a moral saint, so he has left his own benefit.
"Xiaodie, do you remember that who gave me this Xiaoyao ointment first?"
"Didn't the Xiaoyao ointment that the Fourth Master ate has always obtained goods from Master Yan?"
"Yan Yunda? I understand. Please send someone to come and invite him to me."
"yes."
Yan Yunda, speaking of this, is a sworn brother of his predecessor. His family is a founded pharmacy shop in Hangzhou. He doesn’t do anything serious on weekdays. He spends all day playing with his predecessor and monopolizing the spice business in Hangzhou with his own relationship. From then on, he has become a rich man in the city, but in fact he is his follower and a traitor.
