Fu Wenjing asked in disbelief: "Fake Chinese herbal medicine?" Are we selling it now? Who is so bold? ”

Long Xingche took a sip of the tea brought by Amber, and put the teacup on the table heavily: "Their gang are all Chinese medicine dealers, and they all came from Beiyao County, the most remote northwest of our Chen Kingdom. ”

Fu Wenjing was a little familiar when she heard this place name, and thought for a while: "Beiyao County, I remember that it seems to be near Zhangwuzhou, which my eldest brother is responsible for, right?" ”

Long Xingche and Fu Wenrui also appreciated the efforts made in the investigation of this fake Chinese medicine case.

"You're right, your eldest brother also helped a lot when investigating the counterfeit drug case this time, but because he is in charge of Zhang Wuzhou, and he is also entangled in business, he can't go in person, so I will let your third brother deal with the root cause!"

"I don't know what kind of fake herbs the drug dealers in Beiyao County are making? I remember my eldest brother once told me that Beiyao County is an important area in our Chen country that is rich in Chinese herbal medicine! ”

Fu Wenjing is obsessed with traditional Chinese medicine, so she pays attention to all the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, and remembers it more clearly!

As long as Long Xingche thought of the box of various fake Chinese medicines carried by Fu Wenxi, he couldn't get angry: "I can't say what kind of it is, I should say that it is a variety of kinds!" ”

"There are many kinds, they are simply going too far, Chinese medicine is used to save people, and using Chinese medicine is simply making money and killing people!" Fu Wenjing said hatefully!

Long Xingche saw that Fu Wenjing was also full of righteous indignation, and just planned to ask Fu Wenjing to help, so he asked Fu Wenxi to carry the whole large box of fake Chinese medicine that Fu Wenxi brought to the imperial study this morning to the Jingxuan Palace.

When Fu Wenjing opened the box and saw the fake herbs inside, she was so angry that her body was about to tremble!

She finally understood why Long Xingche was so angry now, because there were so many fake herbs, it was just jaw-dropping!

The fake herbs in the box include indigo, agarwood, tongcao, yam tablets, houttuynia cordata, coptis chinensis, astragalus, codonopsis, ejiao, saffron...... There are many varies, and there are even fake ginseng!

Their fake Chinese medicine is very realistic, and Chinese medicine insiders like Fu Wenjing even look a little ambiguous when they look at those Chinese medicines! Therefore, these hateful drug dealers have taken advantage of this and wantonly sold counterfeit drugs on the market.

The fake Chinese medicine they brought from Beiyao County is now basically sold out, and it is also because of the verisimilide of the fake medicine that the merchants who purchased the medicinal materials and many people who grabbed the medicine were confused, and many lives were terminated!

Fu Wenjing grabbed a handful of fake ejiao and threw it into the box hatefully: "These people are simply too much, Your Majesty, you must punish them severely!" ”

Long Xingche nodded, stood up and patted Fu Wenjing's shoulder, reassuring her.

"Naturally, you don't need to say more, I have already asked your third brother to continue investigating this matter, and the main purpose of coming to Jingxuan Hall today is to ask you to help find some ways to screen the authenticity of these herbs. Then I sent an official document to the notice board of the people. Let everyone take precautions as soon as possible to reduce the harm caused by counterfeit drugs! ”

"The concubine is willing to do her best for this matter! Yuehe, go to the study to grind ink! Fu Wenjing rolled up her sleeves and walked to the study.

"Jing'er, no matter how anxious you are, you have to finish breakfast before going!" Long Xingche was worried that Fu Wenjing was busy with work without breakfast, and his body would not be able to hold on!

"There are so many fake medicinal materials circulating on the market, which are endangering the lives of ordinary people, I can't eat them!" By the time Long Xingche chased him out, Fuwen Jingren had already arrived at the door of the study!

So, Fu Wenjing spent a morning of hard work, carefully experimented with the herbs in the box, and sorted out a complete set of identification schemes for the fake medicinal materials found in the box.

Long Xingche carefully looked at the screening methods listed by Fu Wenjing, and hurriedly arranged for someone to copy and operate, and then posted it on the bulletin board to formulate the world!

The side of the bulletin board in the capital

The common people were listening carefully to the guards guarding the bulletin board, reading the methods for distinguishing real and fake Chinese herbal medicines sorted out by Fu Wenjing.

Ejiao: Dissolve in boiling water, dissolve brownish-red, no precipitation in the lower layer, clear but not turbid, fake Ejiao may be miscellaneous gum, water dissolved into tan, there will be large flakes sinking, black slag.

Saffron: Put the safflower into the water, the water is yellow and not red, no precipitation, the stigma (located at the top of the pistil) expands into a trumpet, no oily floats, if the water-soaked stigma is strip-shaped or filament-like, it may be made of goldenrod, if it is inserted into fine sand, fine powder, vegetable oil, etc., there will be precipitated oil-like floats.

Fat sea: Injected into hot water to expand, up to several times the original volume, fake and shoddy fat sea into the water expansion speed is slow, expansion can only reach twice the original volume.

Sumu: When the fragments are put into the hot water, the water is red, and the inferior wood is dyed and enters the hot water, and the water is light yellow, yellow or orange yellow.

Bezoar: Put it into clean water to absorb water and become moist, but not deformed, not dissolved, not decolorized, not turbid, add a little water to mix and apply it to the nails, can dye the nails yellow, commonly known as "hanging nails".

Counterfeit bezoar, mostly with Coptis chinensis, rhubarb ginger and other powders, or potatoes with vegetable color forgery, into the water quickly dissolved and broken, but the water is turbid.

In addition to these water-soluble herbs that can distinguish between real and fake, there are also those that can be tasted, because different herbs have different tastes, which is well known. For example, the sourness of hawthorn, the bitterness of Coptis chinensis, and the sweetness of astragalus are easier to identify.

In addition, the nose can also smell the authenticity of Chinese medicine, because the smell is closely related to the quality and brewing method, such as fragrant peel, there is a special fragrance, and Houttuynia cordata has a fishy smell.

You can also feel the properties of medicinal materials by touching them, in fact, the main thing is to feel the softness and hardness, light and heavy, food foaming, brittleness, stickiness, etc.

Such as floating water indigo, falling water agarwood, soft grass, yam tablets powdery enough and smooth......

Fu Wenjing's screening method for sorting out these herbs is to touch them with her hands, mainly because she feels that this is her usual method, and it is relatively practical!

On the side of the notice board, in addition to the people who were watching and listening to the contents of the notice, there were also Qingxuan Daoist and Li Xiuwen, who had been worried about the fake Chinese medicine incident.

"Master, let's go back, if I'm not mistaken, these things should be sorted out by Jing'er!"

Qingxuan Dao Chang echoed: "I think so, these are all things that I once taught her, you two brothers and sisters can make so much effort for Chinese medicine, I am very pleased for the teacher!" ”

The reason why Daoist Qingxuan said this was mainly because when the fake medicine flowed into the capital this time, it was Li Xiuwen who took the guys who went to purchase medicinal materials and discovered it first.

When Li Xiuwen was purchasing medicinal materials, he found that most of the medicinal materials were fake, so he quickly told Fu Wenxi about it.

So, there was an incident in which Long Xingche ordered Fu Wenxi to investigate the root cause of this fake medicine.
