No taboos

Chapter 246 Ruining a Life (asking for monthly tickets)
The two martial artists held Xiao Loufang and said aggrievedly, "He's a grown man, how can we keep an eye on him?"

Boss Liang sighed deeply.

The backstage was messy and shabby, with only a few chairs.

Boss Liang offered the seat under his buttocks: "Let him sit down first."

Xu Yuan looked at Xiao Loufang with an uneasy expression. This situation was very similar to what his father had told him in the past.

The two martial artists placed Xiao Loufang on a chair. Song Lu couldn't help but ask, "What on earth did he eat?"

Liang Banzhu said bitterly: "Opium."

Xu Yuan said to himself, it is indeed that harmful thing!

Song Lu was confused. What was this?
Fu Jingyu quietly told her that opium, longevity cream, opiates, opium, etc. are all the same thing.

Liang, the troupe leader, sighed, "When he was at the height of his fame, he suddenly stopped singing... because he started smoking.

A bright future, everything is ruined!"

Team Leader Liang glanced at Xu Yuan, then quickly looked away, saying, "My Lords, it's not that I, as the team leader, am being harsh on the old man.

If an actor's voice has lost its strength or a martial artist has become disabled, the troupe will provide for their retirement. This is the rule in the industry.

But adults can go and ask around, how many people can really do it?
He's been addicted to this for ten years, stealing in the team and cheating outside - my Liang family didn't kick him out, and even gave him a bite to eat... I've done my best! "

Xu Yuan couldn't help feeling ashamed.

Just now, I had a preconceived notion and labeled Mr. Liang as "heartless and ungrateful".

But Xu Yuan was very confused: Xiao Loufang was already like this, why did Zhang Laoya still ask him to come to him?
Xu Yuan asked, "There's a rumor out there that after Xiao Loufang retired, she trained two famous actors for your Liang Clan?"

Before Liang could reply, a martial artist angrily replied, "That's what he said! He took all the credit for himself. He's famous, so outsiders will believe anything he says. If we say anything in our defense, it will seem to outsiders that we're heartless and want to steal the credit now that Xiao Lou Fang is no longer popular!"

Another martial artist also said, "He uses this boastful success to constantly ask the troupe boss for money to buy opium. If he doesn't pay, he'll go out and tell lies again, ruining the troupe's reputation."

Xu Yuan was silent. He looked at Xiao Loufang again and asked, "How long will it take for him to wake up like this?"

Song Lu said indignantly: "Pour some cold water on it!"

Team Leader Liang shook his head. "It's no use. Cold water won't wake that guy up. We can only wait for the drug to wear off. I guess... it'll take another half hour."

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll take the person away."

"Okay." Team Leader Liang agreed without hesitation.

Xu Yuan came out from backstage, grabbed a child actor, and gave him 20 taels of silver: "Give 20 red ribbons to the leading actor on the stage."

The boy took the silver and asked hurriedly, "Excuse me, sir, what is your name..."

Liang Banzhu grabbed the silver and wanted to return it to Xu Yuan: "How dare you take your money?"

Xu Yuan stuffed the silver into the boy's pocket and nodded to the troupe leader Liang: "I'm leaving now."

The child actor looked at the silver in his hand and said, "Master, this silver..."

Liang Banzhu waved his hand and said, "Go to Piaohong."

"Okay, hehe." The boy was happy because he could get a big penny for every red ribbon.

Twenty cents was a huge sum of money for the little actor.

He glanced at Xu Yuan's back again and couldn't help but think: These adults don't seem... scary at all.

The two martial artists were also watching Lord Xu go away.

One of them couldn't help but ask, "Master, can this gentleman save Senior Fang?"

Xiaoloufang's original surname was "Fang".

Team Leader Liang sighed, "Master Xu...it seems he doesn't know much about opium. He may have good intentions, but once you're addicted to it, it ruins everyone."

He shook his head: "Go back."

The two martial artists were disappointed, but who could be more disappointed than troupe leader Liang? He had personally witnessed "Xiao Lou Fang"'s debut, her rise to fame in just six months, and then her swift downfall due to opium addiction!
In the first few years, Boss Liang tried every possible way to help him quit, and spent hundreds of taels of silver, but Xiao Loufang's addiction became more and more serious.

It is not easy for any opera troupe to produce a character like "Xiao Lou Fang"!
So ruined.

Boss Liang had also consulted an expert, who told him clearly: Even if it was a seventh-rate martial artist, if he used opium, his body would not be able to withstand it within three years.

Not to mention that Xiao Loufang is just a Dharma practitioner, and his body is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person.

……

Xu Yuan took his men back to the South City patrol room and broke into Zhang Lao Ya's room without knocking.

He threw Xiao Louchun, who was still as soft as noodles, directly onto Zhang Laoya's bed.

"Is this the answer I paid so much for from you?"

Zhang Lao Ya screamed, "Get this thing off my bed! Don't make it dirty!"

Xu Yuan asked the others to leave first, closed the door and said, "Your deal is not fair!"

Zhang Laoya went over and pulled Xiao Loufang off the bed and threw her directly to the ground.

"How is it unfair?" Zhang Laoya said, "Let me ask you first, who do you think sent those two people?"

Xu Yuan: "Fu family."

"Yes, the Fu family has always been merciless. I can guarantee that those two people were not just stabbed by a single thread.

It is because of your old lady's incredible methods that she was able to calm them all down.

But if you want to save their lives and give you clues for interrogation, relying solely on divine cultivation methods won't work. Divine cultivation can only solve the problem using the "pulling thread" method.

Xu Yuan thought about it and found that it made some sense.

"Can this guy help me?"

Xu Yuan pointed at Xiao Loufang on the ground with his toes. This thing couldn't even be considered a human being.

Zhang Lao Ya said with regret: "From Champa to Zhengzhou, there are people everywhere who secretly set up traps to lure people into taking opium.

Even now, ordinary people don’t know much about the harm of this thing, and many people even think it is a good medicine.

If you feel pain in your body, just take a breath and you will feel refreshed all over.

You haven't been to Beidu. If you go, you will find that there are more people like this there!"

Xu Yuan frowned.

Zhang Lao Ya continued, "Xiao Lou Fang's method emphasizes that one is to act out whatever he wants—that is why he can take on all the karma of others."

Xu Yuan still asked: "Can he still act in this state?"

Zhang Lao Ya said, "You are an alchemist. Make him an antidote. That's your business. Whether you can do it or not has nothing to do with me."

"Antidote?" Xu Yuan went to find Aunt Wang as soon as he came out.

After hearing what Xu Yuan had said, Aunt Wang checked Xiao Loufang and said solemnly, "We need a sixth-rate antidote."

Xu Yuan thought about it and decided to go to Sanniang Association to ask for medicine first.

Although they don't have any sixth-rate medicinal pills, they were able to come up with a way to save Aunt Wang, so they should also have the means to use several medicinal pills together to save Xiao Loufang.

Xu Yuan knew that he was cheating a little.

Because the Pharmacy of Various Diseases and the Weighing Scale do not take on this kind of "job".

Only close friends and relatives can come to ask for medicine.

But... isn't this anxious?
