Following Shen Kuan's order, Yun Zheng's guards quickly took action.
In a short while, Wu Shengtai and his group, along with the few people who were making the medicine, were all controlled.
This sudden change scared everyone, even Yun Zheng was a little confused.
"What's going on?"
Yun Zheng frowned and looked at Shen Kuan, whose face was full of murderous intent.
"Your Highness, this water is probably poisonous!"
Shen Kuan subconsciously opened his mouth and took two sips of cool air, then continued: "After drinking this water, my mouth and tongue are burning abnormally!"
Abnormal burning pain?
Yun Zheng turned his head and looked at Wu Shengtai.
No way?
...
...
Could it be that Wu Shengtai is a spy planted by someone?
"My Lord, this is unfair!"
Wu Shengtai finally came to his senses and wailed, "I would never dare to murder His Majesty. This water... this water he drank, he... he is like this! I just told Your Majesty this! Please understand!"
Have you said that?
Wu Shengtai did tell them about it.
"Your Highness, this is unfair! This water is just like this..."
"Your Highness, everyone in the quarry drinks this water. This... this water is really not poisonous!"
"It was just a little burning pain at first, but it was gone soon, and my body was still warm..."
"Please Your Majesty, please understand..."
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I can drink in front of Your Majesty..."
Everyone wailed and offered explanations.
Everyone looked innocent.
"Put the knife away first!"
Yun Zheng winked at Chen Kuan, "Maybe this is the effect of this herb, don't make a fuss."
"yes!"
Shen Kuan quickly put away his swords with his guards, but his eyes were fixed on Wu Shengtai.
As long as Wu Shengtai made the slightest movement, he would immediately draw his sword and kill him.
"Your Majesty, this herbal water is really not poisonous!"
Wu Shengtai explained in a panic, and then ran to the big pot, "I will prove it to the prince!"
As he said this, Wu Shengtai immediately scooped up half a bowl of water and poured it into his stomach while blowing on it.
Miaoyin also followed forward, took out the herbs from the pot, held them in her hands and examined them carefully.
After looking for a while, Miaoyin shook her head slightly at Yun Zheng.
She didn't recognize this herb and wasn't sure whether it was poisonous or not.
Wu Shengtai drank half a bowl of herbal water in one breath, opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
It looked like he had eaten a handful of chili peppers.
Um?
chili?
Yun Zheng's heart suddenly moved.
Damn it!
Could this thing be the legendary wild pepper vine?
As soon as he thought of this, Yun Zheng immediately came to Miaoyin and took the herb from her.
However, he had only heard of wild pepper vines in his previous life, but had never seen one.
I only know that this thing also has another name called Northeast Clematis, and it is said that there are a lot of them in the Northeast.
It is not surprising that there are such phenomena in Northeast China and also in northern Taiwan.
They use this stuff to boil water to ward off the cold, which should be similar to eating chili peppers to ward off the cold, right?
Just as Yun Zheng was thinking secretly, Shen Kuan came forward and whispered: "Your Highness, this thing seems to be able to warm the body. The pain in my mouth is not so severe anymore. Maybe... maybe I really misunderstood..."
“Let me try!”
As Yun Zheng spoke, he stuffed the herbs in his hand into his mouth.
Miaoyin wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
As the herb entered his mouth, the long-lost spicy feeling instantly exploded in Yun Zheng's mouth.
Yun Zheng's eyes lit up instantly and he almost danced with joy.
Depend on!
It’s really spicy!
Wild pepper seedlings!
This thing is most likely a wild pepper seedling!
This is not poison!
Without the chili peppers, this is baby!
"Alright, alright! Don't be nervous, it's Shen Kuan who misunderstood!"
Yun Zheng calmed the terrified crowd and asked Wu Shengtai, "What is this thing called?"
Wu Shengtai replied in fear: "Your Highness, this herb has no name. Many people call it hot grass..."
As he spoke, Wu Shengtai told Yun Zheng the origin of this hot grass.
At the beginning, no one knew whether this thing was edible.
A few days ago, some disaster victims went to look for wild vegetables nearby and accidentally picked some of this thing and took it back to eat.
After eating it, those people all felt soreness in their mouths and tongues, and their bodies were hot and sweaty. Many of them thought they were poisoned.
Because so many people were "poisoned", the matter even alarmed the government.
As a result, in the end, those people got nothing wrong.
Later, when the weather turned colder, some people went looking for this thing to ward off the cold.
After making sure that this thing was not poisonous, Wu Shengtai had some of it collected in the name of the government, and boiled it into water for the working people to drink to help them ward off the cold.
Because this thing makes your whole body hot and sweaty after eating it, people call it heat grass.
After figuring out the situation, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
So this is how this thing was discovered!
This is really a coincidence!
"Is there a lot of hot grass around here?"
Yun Zheng asked expectantly.
“There were quite a lot before.”
Wu Shengtai replied: "Later, we knew that heat grass could ward off the cold, so everyone went to the surrounding mountains to dig it. Now it's hard to find! However, if we look for it in other places, we should be able to find a lot..."
Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment, then immediately ordered: "Well, order people to buy a large amount of this hot grass! As much as you can get! After collecting it, dry it all! In addition, this is not called hot grass, it is called Shuobei Clematis!"
From now on, this will be called Shuobei Clematis!
This can definitely serve as Shuobei’s characteristic industry!
At this moment, Yun Zheng seemed to see the steaming lamb rolls waving at him.
There are also grilled fish, spicy sauce...
The dining habits of Shuobei people will inevitably change because of this small Shuobei Clematis!
Soon, all kinds of spicy dishes will become popular throughout Shuobei!
The more Yun Zheng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he almost roared to the sky.
"yes!"
Wu Shengtai quickly accepted the order and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the prince is sensible.
Otherwise, all of them will lose their heads!
Yun Zheng suppressed his excitement and gently kicked Chen Kuan again, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you apologize to everyone? Look how scared you made everyone."
Chen Kuan looked at the shocked people with an embarrassed look on his face, bowed and said: "I misunderstood just now. I apologize to Lord Wu and everyone else. I hope you don't take it to heart."
"Commander Shen, you are too serious."
Wu Shengtai smiled widely, “Commander Shen is also concerned about the prince’s safety, just figure it out.”
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Yun Zheng gave Wu Shengtai another 100 taels of silver, telling him to use it to buy some meat and rice to improve everyone's meals. It was also his apology to everyone for Shen Kuan's recklessness.
"Is this Shuobei Clematis you mentioned a good treasure?"
When leaving, Ye Zi asked in a low voice.
She knew in her heart that the things that Yun Zheng asked people to buy in large quantities were definitely not ordinary things.
"It's so precious!"
Yun Zheng winked at Ye Zi, "It will ignite your taste buds!"
"ah?"
Ye Zi didn't understand.
Yun Zheng did not explain, his mind had been occupied by all kinds of delicious food...
