After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

"sage?"

Looking at the two plants that Ling Junsheng brought, Ding Xirui and Lin Mingxuan looked at each other and said their names at the same time.

"However, it seems to be different from the common sage." Ding Xirui looked at them carefully and found that these two things had more soft hairs. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, "Mexican sage..."

"What?" Lin Mingxuan confirmed with her.

Ding Xirui vaguely remembered that Mexican sage was mostly used in local religious ceremonies and did have hallucinogenic effects. However, the sage she had seen was used as a common medicinal material, which had the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation, as well as detoxifying and reducing swelling.

Lin Mingxuan pulled her sleeve.

"Oh~" Ding Xirui reacted, "I'm sorry, Captain Ling, this should be foreign sage, which can be made into a powder that drives people crazy."

"How insane." Ling Junsheng pounded the table. "Why not just treat the disease properly instead of doing these harmful things?"

"Yes." Lin Mingxuan sighed, "There is no good or bad in the world. People's hearts are different, so the functions are different."

After a few sighs, Ling Junsheng took the two plants away, saying that he would raise them and find someone to draw a map of them. Once they were discovered, he would destroy them.

"Captain Ling, there is one more thing." Ding Xirui stopped him, feeling embarrassed. "Recently, some merchants have been circulating poppy fruits. Maybe some shops have already used them. We need to check." She opened a drawer and took out a few poppies.

Ling Junsheng crushed a fruit with his thumb and index finger, his eyes full of surprise: "Is this thing also poisonous?"

"Yes." Ding Xirui nodded. "Adding it to the broth will make it more delicious. Eating it once or twice is fine, but if you eat it too many times, you will become addicted. From then on, nothing else can compare to that broth."

“This tiny fruit is so powerful!”

"Yes, if you indulge in temporary pleasures, your body will suffer greatly."

Ling Junsheng sighed, "Doctor Ding, don't worry, leave this to me."

The sun was strong at noon, and the remaining ice on the street corners melted quietly. Ling Junsheng returned to the government office with two kinds of "drugs", feeling hot and cold in his heart. His fiancée Lan Zhiyao sent someone to deliver a casserole, and when he opened the lid, it was steaming hot, and his tangled heart finally felt a little relieved.

"Boss, was it sent by Miss Lan?" Xiao Xin came over with a giggle.

"Go away." Ling Junsheng pretended to protect her.

"It's such a big pot, how can you finish it by yourself? Miss Lan must want you to share some with us little brothers." Xiao Xin rubbed his hands.

"Yes, boss, let us drink some soup to warm ourselves up." The other two yamen runners also came over.

Ling Junsheng rolled his eyes at them and said, "Why don't you take the bowl?"

"Okay." Xiaoxin and the others smiled at each other and hurried to get the bowls and chopsticks. Rice cakes, spare ribs, vermicelli, vegetables, the young men quickly "cleaned out" the clay pot.

"So delicious!" Xiao Xin touched his stomach and looked at the casserole bottom which only had the base ingredients and a few bones left, and felt it was not enough.

"You can chew the bones too." Another yamen runner picked up the bone with chopsticks and poked it directly in front of Xiaoxin.

"Good boy, do this to your new brother."

Xiao Xin was not willing to be outdone, so he picked up a round object and "fed" it to the little yamen runner.

"Wait!" Ling Junsheng stood up suddenly and stared at Xiaoxin's chopsticks.

Xiao Xin was startled: "Boss, this can't be eaten..."

Ling Junsheng picked up the fruit, reached into his chest with his other hand, and took out his purse.

"Open."

"Yes."

Xiao Xin obeyed and opened his purse. "Boss, these seem to be the same..." He took out one and put it together with the one he had fished out of the casserole.

"Hey!" Ling Junsheng sat down on the stool. Ding Xirui had just reminded him that he had been "tricked" so quickly. He was so angry! He felt like there were millions of ants crawling in his stomach and intestines. He wanted to vomit out everything he had just eaten.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Xin stared at his face and asked softly.

Ling Junsheng took a deep breath and said, "Go and call all the brothers who are not on duty, and call the painter as well."

"Okay." Xiao Xin took a few steps in a daze, and signaled with his eyes to another runner to put away the dishes and chopsticks. Ling Junsheng was still looking at the two fruits, and there seemed to be a sword flash in his eyes.

Not long after, all the officials from Lan County came out and checked all the restaurants in the city, big and small. Even the wonton stall that An Yumo had just set up was not spared. People on the streets were in panic and talked about it everywhere.

In a small courtyard in Xifang District, Mr. Li, the owner of a spice shop, was digging a hole with sweat all over his forehead. Next to him was a bag of opium.

"Master, are we really going to bury them all?"

"Let's not bury it. We'll all go to jail."

The couple worked together, and after a while, the bricks and stones were flat and the poppies disappeared.

"What a pity! I spent a lot of effort to bring it back... otherwise, I could have made a lot of money!" He gritted his teeth, feeling extremely angry.

At the Lan family, Lan Zhiyao was searching the small kitchen in her courtyard. Aunt Jiang, who was in charge of purchasing, hung her head and cried bitterly, "Miss, I really didn't know it was something that would harm people. I only bought four or five. The boss said it was a foreign spice, very rare and precious."

Lan Zhiyao shook her head. "Which store?"

"It's the Li family's spice shop in the market..." Aunt Jiang wiped away her tears, feeling angry and aggrieved.

Lan Zhiyao glanced at Xiao Cui, who bowed and quickly walked out of the yard to tell Ling Junsheng the news. The yamen runners acted quickly, surrounding the spice shop and searching one by one, but they could not find a single poppy fruit.

"My lords, our shop will never sell that kind of stuff." Boss Li put on a smile, but some sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Sorry for disturbing you." Ling Junsheng clasped his fists and led everyone away.

Xiao Cui was unhappy, "Uncle..."

"Ahem..." Ling Junsheng blushed, and the other yamen runners pursed their lips, not daring to laugh out loud.

"Captain Ling, Aunt Jiang said that she bought it here yesterday. She wouldn't be wrong." Xiao Cui continued.

"Well, several restaurants were just closed down, and the people haven't had a chance to interrogate them yet. I guess he got wind of it and hid the stuff."

"The government office is understaffed. If we had come to the spice shop earlier, we would have been able to find out..." Xiaoxin sighed.

"Get someone to keep a close eye on it. Truth will come to light eventually. There will definitely be some clues."

Two days later, three restaurants were fined, but no evidence was found in the Li family's spice shop or even in the Li family's house. The owner Li claimed that he had no knowledge of the matter and that he had accidentally bought some from a foreign merchant and had already sold them out. He lied last time out of fear. The government had no choice but to fine them and give them a severe lesson. Several pictures were posted on the notice wall in the city, and poppy fruits were strictly prohibited. Once discovered, the person would be fined at the least and his property would be confiscated, and at the worst, he would be exiled or executed.

Ding Xirui quietly watched all the changes, feeling relieved. She didn't quite believe Boss Li who said that he had sold all the poppy fruits. What should she do?

When night fell, she put away the dishes, tables and chairs and took a walk in the yard. In the distance, she heard a few dogs barking.

"Drug detection dog?" Ding Xirui smiled. Dogs have a strong sense of smell, and after training, they should be able to find the place where the poppies are hidden.

She was so excited that she rushed to the yamen early the next morning and told Ling Junsheng her idea.

Xiao Xin did what he said, and his efficiency was very high. He quickly found a few dogs, one of which was called "Xiao Hei", from the "White Tea" shop. Meng and her niece Xiumei raised Xiao Hei to guard the house, and Xiao Hei also helped them scare away the Qizhou people who wanted to take over the shop.

After smelling the poppy fruits, the dogs became inexplicably excited and could hardly be stopped. Ling Junsheng let them into the Li family's courtyard. Boss Li and his wife were so frightened by the dogs that they couldn't even say a word to chase them out.

"You... are trespassing..."

"Why are you trespassing? If you are innocent, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Xin said, pulling the dogs to continue searching. Several puppies were sniffing in the yard, and soon, Xiao Hei was anxiously circling in front of some bricks and stones, scratching with his two front paws, trying to pry the bricks and stones apart.

"Someone, open it!" Ling Junsheng gave an order, and Boss Li and his wife fainted on the ground.

A bag of poppy fruits weighed an estimated pound. Ling Junsheng pinched the handle of the knife and resisted the urge to draw the knife.

"take away!"

"Yes."

Several dogs were jumping and hopping, following behind them happily, as if they were protecting the law. Boss Li woke up halfway, saw the government office in front of him, and fainted again.
