"Hate? Of course I hate it!"

Jiang Pingshan answered without the slightest hesitation. After finishing, he looked at them and said, "What, you can help me deal with them?"

"Of course."

The older man took something out of his pocket and handed it over.

"What's this?"

Jiang Pingshan wanted to deal with An Wanwan and the others, but he wasn't blinded by anger.

He just looked at it without reaching out to take it.

The older man said slowly, "This is something that can bring them bad luck. It's something the imperial court has been banning. That alone is enough to get them sentenced."

Jiang Pingshan had no idea what the imperial court had been banning. He took the item, looked at it, and, seeing that he didn't recognize it, asked what it was.

The older man then told him that these were poppy berries.

"What should we do?"

Jiang Pingshan looked up and asked.

The older man leaned closer and said, "If you put this in their house and then report them to the authorities that they're secretly adding this to their snacks, they'll be in trouble..."

Jiang Pingshan replied, "You're dreaming. I can't get into their house right now."

Upon hearing this...

The older man said with a smile, "My young master said that if you don't help, you'll be the next one to suffer."

Jiang Pingshan was completely devastated.

"Your young master has gone too far! Did I offend him? How could he do this!"

You have no choice!

The older man called to another younger man and turned to leave.

Jiang Pingshan held the thing in his hand, unsure whether to throw it away or keep it, completely at a loss for what to do.

After much thought...

Jiang Pingshan decided to throw the thing into An Wanwan's house. After throwing it in, he would ask someone to send a message to the yamen (government office). That way, they would be in trouble, and he himself would not be implicated.

The more I think about it, the better it seems.

Jiang Pingshan then went out and headed straight for An Wanwan's house.

We arrived near their home.

Jiang Pingshan looked around and, seeing that there was no one around, he approached An Wanwan's house, looked around, picked a spot where the wall wasn't too high, and forcefully threw the things he was holding into it.

An Wanwan and the others naturally had no idea about this.

One hour later.

The town magistrate sent ten constables.

Upon hearing that someone had reported that they were using poppy seeds and had a stockpile at home, An Ke quickly said, "Brothers, this is pure slander. How could we possibly have such a thing at home?"

"That's right, that's right."

Although Su Yueniang and the others didn't know what poppies were, they realized from An Ke's pale face that it wasn't a good thing, and they immediately spoke up.

"Whether it exists or not, just search for it."

The head constable said this and ordered his men to search everywhere.

An Miaomiao quickly approached An Wanwan: "Wanwan, what do we do now?"

An Wanwan pursed her lips and said, "If I'm not mistaken, we probably already have that thing at home. Now we can only find it and hide it as soon as possible, otherwise we might be in trouble."

Su Yueniang and the others turned to leave.

An Wanwan called out to them, "Dad, Mom, if you really find that thing, be sure to hide it well and don't let anyone see it, otherwise..."

"What does it look like?"

"I've only heard of it."

Anke asked with a embarrassed expression.

An Miaomiao: "..."

But upon closer reflection, it's normal that they don't recognize it, so I explained it to them.

"Search separately."

After An Wanwan finished speaking, she left.
