Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Chen Xi finally decided to trust his sixth sense.

After Lin Changqing got up at almost noon, Chen Xi told him about the incident during lunch.

"You have to use the people you have. Send someone to find out where this rumor came from. I suspect someone wants to frame me!"

Lin Changqing frowned after hearing this, and suddenly asked: "Do you know about something called 'hibiscus ointment'?"

Chen Xi immediately stared.

She guessed that the hibiscus paste Lin Changqing was talking about must not be the hibiscus cake from the pastry!

But she didn't expect that Poppy was also called this name here!

Chen Xi immediately nodded seriously: "I know! I know that there is a medicinal material called opium poppy. This kind of thing can bloom and bear fruit, and the fruit can extract juice. The juice has anesthetic and analgesic effects. However, this medicinal material has one of the biggest The characteristic is that if used improperly, it will have the sequelae of dependence and addiction, which will make people obsessed with it, and ultimately destroy the foundation of the person's body!"

Lin Changqing didn't expect Chen Xi to know so much, so he took her hand and nodded seriously.

"I heard about it by chance in the capital, and it was related to a secret matter in the palace, so there weren't many rumors outside. But I didn't expect that this kind of thing could be so harmful and hard to guard against!"

Chen Xi knew about the miserable century of modern times from history, and knew that opium was the root of all evil. She must not let that evil affect the world!

She grabbed Lin Changqing's hand and said seriously: "This matter is very serious, very, very serious! Poppies can be planted in many places and can reproduce and grow rapidly. Once

It has grown in scale, and some unscrupulous businessmen have noticed the business opportunity. It is difficult not to guarantee that they will not use it! There is a more important point, that is, foreign invaders! Maybe some of them have already learned about the efficacy and harm of this kind of thing. What if they try to use this kind of thing to control the officials of our country?

This kind of thing can also be smoked, just like smoking dry tobacco or hookah. You won't notice it at all at first, and it will be too late when you notice it!

I had never thought of it or seen it before, so I had always ignored it, but now I didn’t expect that I would hear about it in such a remote place in the northwest. So what about in those prosperous places? For example, in the capital city, Jiangnan, especially those coastal ports, are there foreigners who are transporting opium to our country, and have begun to disguise it as dry tobacco and hookah, which has begun to corrode the spirit and body of the people of the Dai Viet Dynasty, as well as officials and wealthy businessmen? "

The more Chen Xi thought about it, the more frightened he became. As he spoke, deep fear showed in his eyes.

This was the first time Lin Changqing saw her like this. He had already taken her into his arms, patted her and coaxed her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Changqing immediately answered: "Don't worry, fortunately you discovered it early, and we still have a chance to remedy it! I will immediately report this matter to the Holy One. The Holy One has his own people and will definitely investigate thoroughly. In addition, I will ask them to investigate carefully the people I have left in Jiangnan. Now that there are rumors in Yunzhou City, it is the best to investigate! Don’t worry, leave everything to me, I will definitely find out! "

Hearing what Lin Changqing said, Chen Xi finally calmed down a little.

After a while she

I couldn't help but hug his waist and said in a muffled voice: "Am I a little unfounded?"

Lin Changqing immediately raised her face and gave her a gentle kiss, "No, you are so perceptive, prepared for a rainy day, foresighted, and have a burning gaze!"

Chen Xi couldn't help being amused by him.

"You're reciting this idiom for me!"

This was the first smiling face that Lin Changqing saw when he came back this time. He finally relaxed a little after thinking about it for a long time.

"Be good, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, I will definitely investigate the matter! Not just in the northwest, not just in the capital, not just in the south of the Yangtze River, we will investigate wherever there are people. I just heard what you said, and I was shocked. I broke out in a cold sweat, I will check it carefully!"

Chen Xi felt a lot more at ease when he heard that he valued it so much, but she still couldn't help but tell him more.

What he is talking about is nothing more than what kind of natural and man-made disasters will be caused once opium becomes popular in this land.

Lin Changqing already paid enough attention to it, but now listening to Chen Xi's words, he felt even more frightened.

If that day really comes and the people of this land become what she said, then wouldn't they be living in hell!

Lin Changqing became more and more determined and must investigate this matter thoroughly!

Lin Changqing started busy in the afternoon, but before getting busy, he still asked the brother and sister he brought back to visit Chen Xi.

"These are the people I brought back from Cangzhou, the Meng family brothers and sisters."

The brother and sister immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Meng Tian pays homage to the master!"

"Meng He pays homage to the master!"

Chen Xi nodded: "You are just like the Dong family brothers and sisters, following your master

Be by your side to protect her safety, remember? "

"Yes, General!" the brother and sister replied in unison.

Hearing that they both called Lin Changqing "general", Chen Xi and Dong Baozhen looked at each other and couldn't help but guess whether they were Lin Changqing's people before, or whether they were newly found by him in Cangzhou this time.

After Lin Changqing left, Chen Xi said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't go out much except for walking around the shop. Meng Tian, ​​you follow Dong Baoshan. If you have anything you don't understand, ask him. Meng He will follow first." Baozhen, stay with me."

"Yes!"

Then his brother Meng Tian went down, and his sister Meng He stood on the other side of Chen Xi.

Chen Xi asked Meng He, "Were you from General Lin in the past?"

Meng He shook his head: "We are not, we originally followed General Xie."

"Thank you General?"

Meng He's eyes turned red, "General Xie was seriously injured when he captured the Huns the year before last, and we have been at home since then. It was this time that General Lin went to Cangzhou to investigate the case, and found out about General Xie, and called us for questioning. , knowing that we were good at it, he brought us brothers and sisters back."

Chen Xi nodded. It turned out that Lin Changqing had a love for talents.

However, because he knew that these two people were not Lin Changqing's old subordinates, Chen Xi was more cautious and asked Dong Baozhen to pay attention to them while Meng He was away, and not to be too trusting for the time being.

Dong Baozhen nodded to express understanding.

In fact, what Chen Xi didn't know was that Lin Changqing had already said it before she said this.

Precisely because Lin Changqing said it, the Dong brothers and sisters "understood" the general's intentions and were extremely cautious.

But these words don’t need to be told to the Lord in such detail.

Son, because the general also wants to see if they can be used. If they can be used, then it is naturally best to stay with the master to protect them. If they cannot be used, then see what kind of method cannot be used!

Then Chen Xi took Dong Baozhen and Meng He out together.

After she learned the news from the shopkeeper, she couldn't rest assured unless she went to the shop to take a look!
