Arrest them and bring them to court?

When the businessman Mr. Wu heard this, he immediately frowned.

Their cargo ship itself is not legal. Once it goes to the Yamen, they will definitely have to shed a layer of skin.

They have spent a lot of money to do business here before.

Give those foreigners money to purchase goods and get through to local officials.

The most expensive thing among them is naturally the money to buy connections in various places.

Now if he takes another big sum, he won't be able to make much this time!

Those who can come to buy things are basically wealthy families in the provincial government, and ordinary people are not easy to offend.

Master Wu asked anxiously: "What are you selling? Why is it poison?"

The boy held something wrapped in a handkerchief and opened it in front of the two of them.

"Master, this is the pepper!"

This guy has something in his hands, a curved waist, and a bright red coat with a green hat.

Zhao Ce took one look and suddenly became excited.

Isn’t this just chili?

The merchant next to him said anxiously: "Let's go, we have to deal with it quickly and we can't let them cause trouble."

"These ghost guys are really deceptive. They have a bunch of spices mixed together. Some of them I don't even recognize."

"This thing looks so festive, but I don't want it to be poisonous!"

As he said this, he hurriedly walked out of Class A with the others.

Zhao Ce thought for a while, then directly pulled Su Cai'er and followed them.

Su Caier asked him in a low voice: "Husband, are these spices poisonous?"

Zhao Ce said mysteriously: "It's not poisonous."

“Not only is it not poisonous, but it is also an excellent seasoning!”

Su Cai'er blinked in confusion.

She also heard what the family member shouted just now. If it wasn't poisonous, why would her lips be swollen after eating?

Zhao Ce did not explain for the time being and walked out of Class A with Su Cai'er.

Then I saw Mr. Wu and his people apologizing to the family in a good voice.

The man standing in front, with his lips still red, kept sucking saliva and said angrily: "Profiteer!"

"The poison you sold has swollen the lips of my whole family! Even the doctor doesn't know what kind of poison I was poisoned with."

"I am from the Chen family in the provincial capital. How dare you, a profiteer, poison my family? Come with me to see the officials!"

After saying that, he started to take the merchant to the Yamen.

The people around were pointing and pointing, and some were holding spices in their hands, hesitating whether to retreat.

Mr. Wu frowned and said, "Masters, please don't get excited. Let's solve the problem properly. There is no need to go to the Yamen."

Mr. Chen kept breathing in his mouth to relieve the spicy taste in his mouth.

"Then we are all poisoned, and we don't know if anything will happen later. Can we just let it go?"

"Look at my mouth, it seems like it's been burned by fire. I don't even dare to close it!"

Mr. Wu pulled him and said with an apologetic smile: "How many people in your house are not feeling well? I will ask a doctor to come to your home and treat you?"

"I'll give you some soup and medicine later, so you can take good care of yourself."

This family is not short of money. When they heard about this negotiation method, they didn't look at it well at all.

"My Chen family is not short of money. If nothing else, please come with us to the Yamen to avoid being bought poison from you again."

Mr. Wu's fat face trembled, a trace of gloom flashed across his face, and it quickly returned to its original state.

He tried to persuade again, but the family ignored him completely and insisted on dragging Mr. Wu to see the official.

"Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth..."

Seeing that he was about to be taken away, Zhao Ce walked over with Su Cai'er and said quickly: "Wait a minute."

Although Mr. Chen was angry when he saw Zhao Ce, he was dressed unusually and dressed like a scholar, so he didn't give him a bad look.

"Master, this is our grudge. As a foreigner, you should stop meddling in other people's business."

Mr. Wu said with a bitter face: "This young man just bought spices from me. He must know that I am a real person."

"Even if there's something wrong with the spice, it's not my intention."

When Mr. Chen saw him looking at Zhao Ce, he also looked at Zhao Ce with some suspicion.

Zhao Ce knew that these people just ate chili peppers that made their mouths spicy.

There were no chili peppers in this era, and they didn't know how to make them delicious.

But as a modern person, Zhao Ce can do much more once he gets this thing!

Hot pot, skewers, spicy hotpot, and various Sichuan dishes.

Not too fragrant at all!

When Zhao Ce thought about this, he felt that he had traveled to ancient times and had been fasting for so long, and he immediately became greedy.

Su Cai'er seemed to feel her husband's mood swings, and looked at Zhao Ce curiously.

Seeing the glint in her husband's eyes, Su Caier tilted her head in confusion.

My husband said this is delicious. How delicious is it?

Zhao Ce took a step forward and asked: "Mr. Chen, I wonder how much poisonous spices you bought from here?"

Mr. Chen said: "It's not much, so I bought a small box, but today my servants used it to cook, and it hurt their eyes."

"It's hard to make it. Our family wants to try it, but we don't want everyone to be poisoned."

A small box?

Zhao Ce glanced at Mr. Wu who was being pulled by him.

"Mr. Wu, how many others are on board?"

Mr. Wu said without knowing why: "Well, there are still two big boxes on the ship."

After saying that, he had an idea and said: "I will throw them away now, and I will never let this thing poison others again!"

Zhao Ce reluctantly stopped him and said, "Mr. Wu, there's no need for that."

"I want all the spices on your ship."

"As for Mr. Chen's, I'm willing to recycle it at the original price, and how about giving you a detoxification method?"

"Of course, this spice is actually non-toxic, but because it is too irritating, your lips will be red and swollen, and you will constantly secrete saliva."

"Even if you ignore it, the redness and swelling will slowly subside."

Mr. Chen was doubtful and said: "You can't be with this person and say these words deliberately to clear his name?"

Zhao Ce smiled and said: "How could it be?"

"I have come a long way and I have never met this businessman."

"It's just that I happened to have read about this spice in a book, so I recognized it."

Mr. Chen saw that Zhao Ce's speech was clear and well-organized, and his appearance was pleasing to the eye. He couldn't help but feel a little convinced in him.

He let Master Wu go and asked, "I wonder where this young master comes from and which family he is from?"

Zhao Ce nodded slightly and said calmly: "I am from Gaozhou Prefecture, and I am Yong Xibo who was just canonized by the Holy Emperor."

"I went to Beijing to study at the Imperial College under the orders of the Holy One. I passed by the provincial capital today."
