Chapter 162: Just to solve the predicament of Yunzhou
"What are you talking about?" The old man frowned and spat.
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at the old man, "But what did this man do?"
The vendor was about to say something, but Zhao Jin glanced at him coldly.
There was a layer of frost in the star's eyes, and he glanced coldly.
The vendor opened his mouth, but couldn't squeeze out a single word.
"You don't know something! Someone bought a few of these round, I don't know what they are and went back to try them out."
"I originally wanted to try to see if I could eat it, but who knew! Something big would happen if I ate it!"
The old man slapped the back of his right hand hard on the palm of his left hand and glared at the vendor angrily, "He was directly poisoned! He almost died!"
poisoning.
Zhao Jin reached out and looked through the potatoes in the bag. They were basically potatoes that had sprouted. They were suitable for use as grain seeds, but if they were used as grain.
If the green skin is not peeled clean, it will indeed be poisonous.
"You don't know how to eat these potatoes?" Zhao Jin raised his head and stared at the vendor.
"This..." The vendor wiped his sweat and couldn't utter a few words for a long time.
Zhao Jin threw the potatoes in his hand into the bag and asked again: "Do you know about the poisoning?"
At this time, Zhao Jin's eyes had lost all warmth, and they fell on the vendor. The hot day actually made him feel cold.
"I, I..."
Zhao Jin said impatiently: "You know, but you still sell them as grain seeds."
The old man was standing next to him, glaring at the vendor, "You are a barbaric person with evil thoughts!"
"Old man! You..."
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The government office is doing business!"
Before the vendor finished speaking, seven or eight government guards came directly over with search warrants in their hands.
The catcher suddenly saw Zhao Jin with a cold face. He was startled and walked over quickly, "See you, sir!"
"Are you here to arrest this person?"
Seeing that they were obviously coming this way, and coupled with what the old man said just now, it was clear at a glance what these government guards were coming for.
"Exactly! Someone came to sue him for selling poisonous grain seeds."
Zhao Jin frowned, "Take them all back."
If you didn't know that sprouted potatoes without peeling off their green skins would be poisonous, it would be excusable and could be regarded as an unintentional mistake. However, this vendor clearly knew that these potatoes would be poisonous if eaten.
It is still sold here as grain.
The yamen guards stepped forward and pinned down the vendor.
"Sir! You just bought all my potatoes," the vendor paused, remembering what Zhao Jin had just called him, "potatoes!"
Because the street vendor didn't speak Chinese, people around him couldn't understand him.
Zhao Jin, who understood, immediately laughed angrily, "You almost killed a person, and you acted like this even though you knew the potatoes were poisonous. How dare you ask me for money?"
"Take him back to the government office!" Zhao Jin shouted sharply.
The government guards received the order, suppressed the vendor, twisted his arm, and led him towards the government office.
"Sir, what should I do with these potatoes?" The head catcher looked at these round things with a headache. There are so many big bags and they are inedible.
"Keep a few as evidence and throw away the rest?"
Zhao Jin glanced at him and said, "Throw it away, these are all grains."
"Ah?" The catcher scratched his head and asked in confusion: "But isn't it said to be poisonous?"
"As long as we handle it properly, it won't be poisonous." Zhao Jin raised his hand and waved, "Carry all these back to the government office!"
When Zhao Jin returned to the government office, the vendor was already being escorted to his knees in the lobby, with a few bags of potatoes beside him.
Seeing Zhao Jin, the vendor struggled a few times and said, "Sir!"
He already knew that this man was the governor of Yunzhou City, and if he wanted to be saved, he could only beg for mercy from him.
Zhao Jin walked straight past the vendor and said coldly, "If you don't behave honestly, I'll drag him down and beat him up."
The vendor immediately did not dare to struggle any more and knelt on the ground obediently.
Standing above, Zhao Jin did not sit down, but looked down at the vendors.
"Where did you come from?" Zhao Jin had a warning in his eyes, "It's best to tell the truth, otherwise, you won't want to taste the punishment of our Zhao country."
Star eyes were cold, and he raised his eyelids and swept them indifferently, which immediately made the pores on the vendor's body stand up.
"Yes, I, I came from the north, across the Beiling Sea, to Yunzhou."
Zhao Jin's eyelids drooped slightly and he recalled the map of this era.
Bei Linghai is further north of Yunzhou City, but Tudou...
impossible.
"Do you think I am a fool?" Zhao Jin said coldly: "You need to cross the North Sea, which means your country is colder than Yunzhou, not to mention whether you can grow potatoes."
"If you really came from your country, wouldn't you know that potatoes are not poisonous as long as they are eaten in the right way?"
The vendor looked flustered, "I, I just forgot, it was..."
"Deceiving an official of the imperial court is an additional crime. Are you serious that you will never tell the truth again?"
Zhao Jin no longer looked at the vendor, but turned to the Yamen Guard and said: "Get the torture instrument."
Immediately, a yamen guard went down and brought up a torture instrument.
The vendor looked at the strange thing in horror. There were ten small circles in total, five connected together, and there were iron chains on both sides.
As soon as the Yamen Guard brought the instrument of torture closer, the vendor seemed to be able to smell the blood on it.
"I say! I say!" The vendor struggled regardless, looking at Zhao Jin with horror on his face, "Sir! I say!"
Zhao Jin raised his right hand and waved, staring at the vendor, "I will give you another chance."
Seeing the instrument of torture being taken away, the vendor finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Sir, I, I did cross the Beiling Sea to get here."
Zhao Jin frowned, and then heard the hurried voices of the vendors.
"But, but these potatoes, our ship was blown to the other side, and it was much hotter there..."
Following the vendor's explanation, Zhao Jin learned that these foreigners discovered this crop when they passed through a place.
Originally, when they met potatoes for the first time, they just wanted to steal some to taste, but they were discovered and had a conflict.
In anger, they simply dug up a large area,
Fearing that they would be directly arrested by the local natives, they hurriedly left. After boarding the boat, they tasted the potatoes.
It turns out these crops are poisonous!
But looking at so many potatoes, I felt reluctant to just throw them away.
After arriving in Yunzhou, I found that there was a shortage of grain seeds here. Seeing that these potatoes could sprout, I thought they could be used as grain seeds, and maybe I could make a fortune from them.
That’s why vendors came into being.
"So, there are more than one of you?" Zhao Jin looked at the vendors and asked in a deep voice.
The vendor shrank his neck and said, "Yes, there are six or seven more people."
He thought silently in his heart: God, I really don’t want to be cornered, there is no other way.
"How many potatoes do you have left?"
If there were enough potatoes, it would be able to solve Yunzhou's current predicament.
