Unfortunately, Shu Ruyue was already prepared. She pulled out a sword and pressed it against the man’s throat.

“Guess if you’re tougher or if my sword is sharper.”

This time, the young man did not dare to move anymore.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran looked at the spectator behind her and said with a serious expression, “I wonder which doctor in your land has the best medical skills. Please help me invite him over. Don’t worry, I’ll pay a hundred copper coins. ”

As soon as she said this, someone immediately ran out.

Li Xiaoran glanced at the surrounding people and said, “I know that everyone is very puzzled and feels that I’m being unreasonable! However, there’s something else going on, so please be patient. When the doctor arrives, I’ll explain it to everyone. At that time, everyone will know why I refuse to hire this person!”

With Li Xiaoran’s explanation, the surrounding people could only suppress their doubts and wait for the follow-up.

Not long after, an old man was carried over by a young man.

The young man shouted, “Make way, make way! Everyone, make way. I’ve invited Dr. Qiao over!”

Soon, everyone made way for this young man.

“Isn’t this Doctor Qiao’s grandson, Qiao Ziming?” Someone in the crowd recognized the person.

Someone teased with a smile, “It’s that kid! This kid likes joining in the fun! I really didn’t expect him to carry his grandfather here on his back today!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood what kind of person Qiao Ziming was.

Dr. Qiao, who had just been put down by his grandson, said angrily, “Hey,

Ziming, you brat, why are you running so fast? I almost lost my balance!”

“Sigh, Grandpa, there’s really something important here that needs your help with! Besides, I can earn a hundred copper coins from this trip. How worth it!

You can even earn some consultation fees and medicine fees later. Don’t thank me too much!” As Qiao Ziming spoke, he looked at Li Xiaoran happily.

“Madam, can I pay for my errands?”

Li Xiaoran took out a hundred copper coins from her pocket and placed them in the kid’s hand!

“Here, this is 100 copper coins. Of course I’ll fulfill my promise!”

With that, Li Xiaoran looked at Dr. Qiao.

“Doctor, how should I address you?” As Li Xiaoran spoke, she moved a chair for Dr. Qiao to sit down and rest.

“I’m Qiao Meng, the best doctor in Nanping Town. Madam, is there anyone you need me to treat?” Dr. Qiao asked.

“I want to ask you to see if there are poppies in the liquid in my porcelain bottle!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you come here for nothing. We’ll pay the consultation fees!”

When Dr. Qiao heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he nodded with a smile. “So that’s how it is! That’s simple. Let me identify this liquid!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and handed the porcelain bottle to Dr. Qiao.

Dr. Qiao sniffed the contents of the porcelain bottle first, then poured out a little and took a closer look.

In the end, Dr. Qiao dipped his finger in some liquid and tasted it.

“Where did you find this?” Dr. Qiao asked.

After Li Xiaoran pointed at the plate that had been marinated before, Dr. Qiao stood up and went to the plate to take a closer look.

The plate was white porcelain with no patterns at all, so some of the marinated liquid was still left on the plate.

After looking at it, Dr. Qiao nodded and said, “There’s indeed poppy in it, and the concentration is quite heavy.”

Li Xiaoran was waiting for this sentence, so she looked at the young man.

At this moment, Shu Ruyue’s sword was pressed against his throat, so he didn’t dare to move at all, but he was already extremely anxious deep down. Li Xiaoran asked, “Dr. Qiao, you know the use and effects of opium poppy?!”

“Of course I know. Poppy has the effect of stopping coughing, moistening the lungs, hypnosis, and pain-relief. It’s a.n.a.lgesic, so boiling water with poppy can be used to treat chronic coughs, diarrhea, dysentery, pain, and so on. It’s just that this thing can’t be taken in large quant.i.ties, let alone for a long time. If taken in large quant.i.ties, it will cause the patient to hyperventilate and even die. If taken over a long time, one will become addicted to it!” Dr. Qiao revealed the effects of poppy.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she looked at the surrounding commoners before finally looking at the young man.

“Everyone heard what Dr. Qiao said! Using poppy in large quant.i.ties will make people struggle for breath. Taking it for a long time will make people addicted. Tell me, if I open a restaurant one day and put poppy sh.e.l.ls in the things I sell, will you guys still dare to eat it?”

As soon as she said this, everyone understood.

At this moment, everyone looked at the young man differently.

Li Xiaoran said, “We’re looking for people good at grilling fish, since we want to open a restaurant. However, if the chef who cooks for us has evil intentions, he can add something harmful to the food. Would you dare to hire such a person? In any case, I won’t dare to hire such a person!”

This time, everyone understood why Li Xiaoran had said that previously.

Li Xiaoran had probably seen what this young man did, so she was unwilling to taste the grilled fish made by this man.

When the young man saw this, he ignored the sword at his throat and took a

step back to shout, “You’re slandering me! You must have framed me! That porcelain bottle of yours might have contained poppies, so when you poured the juice of the fish I marinated into it, it contained a large number of poppies as well! You unscrupulous merchants really use all kinds of shady methods to achieve your goals!”

“No, she didn’t frame you! There was a large amount of poppies on that plate just now, and you were stained with a lot of poppy powder juice!” At this moment, Dr. Qiao said, “Why don’t you look at your clothes and see what that brownish-yellow thing is!”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked in the direction Dr. Qiao pointed.

As expected, a part of the young man’s clothes was stained with brownish -yellow juice.

This time, the young man’s face paled..
