Chapter 760: Continue to Interrogate the Cook

Xi Yu stood there quietly, his eyes suddenly fell on Gan Mei, and he saw that she was in a daze, her eyes a little empty.

A curiosity arose in Xi Yu's heart and he asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"

Ganmei was brought back to reality by Xi Yu's voice. She couldn't hold back for a moment and actually said what was in her heart.

"The child is sick, and you have been staying with me these past few days. If it were normal, how could I get this kind of treatment?"

There was a hint of emotion in Gan Mei's voice, and her eyes showed complicated emotions.

After hearing Gan Mei's words, Xi Yu's heart moved slightly.

He could feel the desire and helplessness in Gan Mei's words.

Holding her tightly in his arms again.

"I know what you are thinking." Xi Yu whispered in Gan Mei's ear, "No matter how harmonious a woman is, she is still selfish and does not allow her man to be possessed by another woman. I understand how you feel." Xi Yu's eyes Full of understanding and compassion.

Ganmei leaned into Xi Yu's arms, feeling his warmth. She felt moved and worried at the same time.

"Husband, I don't want to restrain you, it's just... I'm just afraid of losing you."

However, Xi Yu's heart was also filled with helplessness.

He knew that many things were difficult to control in this feudal society when he traveled through time.

Xi Yu's expression became serious, and he sat down slowly, frowning slightly.

"I just inspected it. Although there is no problem, I always feel that the cook is lying. The eyes can't deceive. There is a trace of panic in her eyes."

Ganmei sat quietly and listened carefully to Xi Yu's analysis.

There was also worry in her eyes. "As I said before, there must be a kind of food that causes problems for children but not for adults. We need to follow this clue to investigate."

"First we need to investigate the cook's family." Xi Yu said firmly.

Gan Mei nodded, she thought Xi Yu's analysis was very reasonable.

Xi Yu stood in the room, frowning slightly.

He recruited this cook, but he usually doesn't pay attention to these small things.

Now that something went wrong, he had to investigate.

Night fell quietly, and the light in the room gradually dimmed.

Xi Yu looked at Gan Mei and said solemnly: "I have already investigated where this cook lives. She is a woman from an ordinary village in Youzhou, named Zhu Lianxiang. I plan to investigate in person and leave tomorrow. , I hope you are fine at home alone."

Gan Mei nodded and said softly: "Husband, don't worry. I will take care of myself. Maybe the miracle doctor Song Shuwen will come back tomorrow." Gan Mei also had a trace of expectation in her eyes.

Xi Yu nodded slightly, but he always felt in his heart that Song Shuwen might have really encountered something. "I hope Divine Doctor Song can return safely." Xi Yu whispered, his heart full of worry.

Early the next morning, the sun shines on the earth through the mist.

Xi Yu pushed out his bicycle and prepared to go to a village called Quanjia.

He hasn't ridden a bicycle for a long time. In this world, bicycles are the most advanced form of transportation.

Xi Yu would be particularly happy every time he rode it before, feeling the wind whistling in his ears, and the feeling of free galloping made him feel happy.

However, Xiyu is now listless.

He was worried about his sick child, so he was still in the mood to enjoy riding a bicycle.

He got on the bicycle and pedaled slowly, his eyes full of worry.

As the bicycle moves forward, the scenery on both sides of the road continues to recede.

Xi Yu had no intention of appreciating it. The image of his sick child kept appearing in his mind, and he was filled with guilt and worry.

"My child, you must get well soon." Xi Yu prayed silently in his heart.

He pedaled faster.

After a long journey, Xi Yu finally arrived at this village.

As soon as he entered the village, he saw a tall locust tree with a tea pavilion under it.

Xi Yu pushed his bicycle to the tea pavilion and put it down.

There was a middle-aged man sitting in the tea shed. Xi Yu walked over, sat down opposite the man and asked for some tea.

Xi Yu took a sip of tea, calmed down, and prepared to ask the man questions later.

He looked at the middle-aged man and asked politely: "May I ask this eldest brother his name?"

The man smiled heartily and said, "What's your surname?"

Xi Yu nodded slightly, secretly thinking about how to ask about the cook Zhu Lianxiang.

Then, Xi Yu blinked his curious eyes and asked sincerely: "Uncle He, are you from this village?"

Uncle He shook his head gently, with a gentle smile on his wrinkled face, and said: "Son, uncle, I am not from this village, but I have been in this village for many years."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Xi Yu, with a bit of searching in his eyes, and then asked: "Where did you come from, kid? What are you doing here?"

Xi Yu raised the corners of his mouth, showing a hearty smile, and said: "Uncle He, I am just one person. I like to ride a bicycle around and see the world."

Uncle He nodded slightly, his eyes full of admiration, and said: "This is a good habit. Moreover, you should really thank the current Prime Minister for being able to ride a bicycle freely."

When Xi Yu heard this, he was secretly amused, but he just smiled faintly, with a hint of subtle cunning flashing in his eyes, thinking that he could not reveal his identity.

Then, Xi Yu pretended to be casual and said deliberately: "Uncle He, I heard that there is a relative here named Zhu Lianxiang, but we haven't been in contact with him for several years, and I don't know if he is okay."

As he spoke, he stared at Uncle He with tentative eyes, a trace of nervousness and expectation in his eyes.

Uncle He was slightly startled, and then said: "I know Zhu Lianxiang. But I heard that she went to work as a cook in the Prime Minister's house, and many people in the village are envious of her. Why don't you go to the Prime Minister's house and ask, Moreover, the Prime Minister is very talkative and has no airs, so he probably won’t block you out.”

Xi Yu's face remained calm, he just nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Uncle He, for your advice."

After a while, Xi Yu picked up the tea cup, drank the last sip of tea, put down the cup, paid the price, stood up and said, "Uncle He, I will go for a walk around the village again."

There was a trace of expectation in his eyes, and he asked at the same time: "By the way, does Zhu Lianxiang have any other relatives?"

Uncle He was stunned at first, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked: "Aren't you relatives? Why don't you know anything?"

Xi Yu deliberately looked embarrassed, scratched his head, and said sheepishly: "After all, we haven't interacted with each other for several years, and many things are unclear."

Uncle He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "There is also a son and daughter-in-law."

But when he mentioned these two people, his eyes were a little evasive and his expression became unnatural, as if he didn't want to say anything more.

Xi Yu keenly caught Uncle He's changes, and was even more confused in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Thank you, Uncle He, for informing me."

At this time, the breeze blew gently, and the old branches and leaves at the end of the village rustled, seeming to be telling some secrets.

After entering the village, Yu's playful eyes searched among the scattered houses. He saw two old women sitting under a leafy tree chatting.

Xi Yu walked forward quickly, with a humble smile on his face, and asked politely: "Aunts, where is Zhu Lianxiang's home?"

The two old women looked Xi Yu up and down. One of them raised her hand, pointed toward the depths of the village, and said, "Just keep walking along this road. The one where you see a big willow tree at the door is her house."

Xi Yu thanked him and walked a few steps.

I heard two old women whispering in lowered voices from behind.

"Zhu Lianxiang is a good person, but it's a pity that he met an incompetent son."

Xi Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly turned around, walked quickly to the two old women, and asked with confusion on his face: "Two ladies, what were you talking about just now?"

The two women were startled by his sudden move. They looked at each other in panic. They forced a smile on their faces and stammered: "No, it's nothing. I didn't say anything."

Their eyes were erratic and they did not dare to look at Xi Yu.

At this time, the breeze was blowing and the leaves were rustling, which seemed to add a touch of tension to the awkward atmosphere.

However, Xi Yu quickly bowed deeply, with an anxious and sincere expression, and asked again: "Two ladies, please tell me. In fact, I am here to collect debts. Zhu Lianxiang's son owes me There’s so much debt, and I really can’t do anything about it.”

There was a hint of helplessness and urgency in his voice, and his brows were furrowed tightly.

The two women looked at each other with frowns on their faces.

One of the women sighed and complained: "I thought you were here to visit relatives. If I had known better, I shouldn't have told you where I am."

Xi Yu still had a sincere look on his face, his eyes full of pleading, and begged the two old women again: "Madams, please tell me the truth."

As he spoke, he quickly took out some small coins from his cuffs and handed them to the two old women.

When the two women saw the currency, they were immediately elated and their eyes lit up.

One of the women took the currency, with a complicated expression on her face, and said, "Well, I guess you won't be able to get your debt back. Because Zhu Lianxiang's son has been gambling with others recently, and he almost lost all his family. My wife was so angry that she left."

This time, Xi Yu felt confident.

Then, with a smile on his face, he bowed deeply to the two old women and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you two ladies for informing me. It really helped me a lot."

After saying that, he turned around resolutely and strode towards Zhu Lianxiang's home.

As he walked, he seemed to hear the two women behind him discussing something in a low voice, but he pretended not to know anything, and continued to walk forward resolutely without any pause in his steps.

At this time, dust was flying on the paths in the village, and Xi Yu's figure seemed a little blurry in the flying dust.

Finally we arrived at Zhu Lianxiang's home. It was an extremely ordinary courtyard with some mottled walls and old houses.

However, the door was locked with a heavy lock.

In the neighbor's house opposite, there was a man sitting in the shade at the door eating watermelon.

Seeing Xi Yu arriving, he raised his head, looked up and down, and asked, "What do you do?"

Xi Yu quickly stepped forward and asked politely: "Excuse me, is this Zhu Lianxiang's home?"

The man nodded, chewing watermelon in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Zhu Lianxiang has gone to the prime minister's house, and his son Shen Bin is not at home."

Before Xiyu could speak, the man put down the watermelon in his hand and said angrily: "This Shen Bin is really a piece of shit. He gambles every day and ended up driving his wife away. Now he is not at home, I guess he is trying to get money again."

He shook his head as he spoke, his face full of dissatisfaction and contempt for Shen Bin.

Xiyu stood in front of Zhu Lianxiang's house, frowning, and silently made a guess in his heart: Shen Bin has no currency, maybe he will find a way to contact his mother.

At this time, some criminals may contact Shen Bin and say that they are willing to pay off the gambling debts, but the prerequisite is to let the cook Zhu Lianxiang do something bad.

Thinking of this, Xiyu felt that his idea was very likely correct.

So he nodded to his neighbor, with a thoughtful look on his face, and then turned and left.

Xiyu came to the barracks in a hurry. After entering the barracks, he immediately called a few soldiers. The soldiers quickly gathered, standing tall, waiting for Xiyu's instructions.

Xiyu led a few soldiers and walked quickly on the road to Zhu Lianxiang's house, with a serious look.

He explained the task to the soldiers while walking: "The kitchen son Shen Bin is useless. You must guard the door of the house, then catch him and ask him about his gambling debts."

The soldiers responded in unison and followed Xiyu closely.

After a while, they came to Zhu Lianxiang's house.

The door was open.

In the yard, a man sat quietly, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Zhu Lianxiang.

Xiyu walked into the yard without hesitation, came straight to the man, and asked directly: "Are you Shen Bin?"

Shen Bin was slightly stunned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, then nodded and asked: "Who are you?"

Xiyu's eyes were cold, and he ordered the soldiers: "Take him away immediately."

The soldiers received the order and went forward to arrest Shen Bin without hesitation.

While struggling, Shen Bin shouted loudly: "Who are you? I tell you, my mother is from the Prime Minister's Mansion! If you dare to offend me, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Xi Yu's face was stern, and he turned a deaf ear to Shen Bin's words, but firmly led the soldiers to force him to leave.

Along the way, many villagers saw this scene and were very confused. They whispered to each other and curiously guessed what happened.

Some villagers talked about it: "Looking at this posture, Shen Bin must not be a good thing."

"I guess he owed someone a debt, and they came to take his life. This is what he deserves." Their words were full of contempt and gloating for Shen Bin.

Xi Yu heard the villagers' discussion and his heart moved slightly, but he did not stop, and still led Shen Bin and the soldiers to move forward quickly.

He knew that now was not the time to explain. Only by taking Shen Bin to a suitable place for interrogation as soon as possible could the mystery be solved and the truth of the matter be found.

After leaving the village, Xi Yu's eyes fell on the small woods in front.

He decisively ordered the soldiers: "Take Shen Bin to the grove and interrogate him strictly."

The soldiers immediately took Shen Bin, who was still shouting, into the grove.

Shen Bin kept shouting: "The Prime Minister will not let you go!"

Xi Yu didn't care about Shen Bin's threats. After the soldiers and Shen Bin entered the grove, he strolled outside the grove alone.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gan Mei was full of worries and frowned.

Now that Xi Yu was not around, another maid took care of her temporarily.

She paced back and forth in the room, her steps were hurried and disordered, and her worries kept coming like a tide.

"Why hasn't Song Shuwen come back yet?" Gan Mei murmured to herself, her eyes full of anxiety and expectation.

Seeing Gan Mei so anxious, the little girl comforted her softly, "Madam, please be patient. Dr. Song will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Gan Mei paused slightly, sighed lightly, and said, "How can I not be anxious? The child's condition has not improved, and my husband is out investigating. All this makes me worry."

After a while, Gan Mei suddenly thought of a question in her mind. After thinking for a while, she decided to go to Ouyang Linlin's room.

When Gan Mei appeared in front of Ouyang Linlin's door, Ouyang Linlin was very surprised by her arrival, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Gan Mei said apologetically, "Linlin, I know you are pregnant. Logically, I shouldn't come to disturb you. But I am really anxious in my heart. I hope you can take me to the Buddhist temple to pray together."

Ouyang Linlin was slightly stunned, then showed a gentle smile, and said, "Sister Gan Mei, you are too polite. I am very happy to do this."

She stood up gently, moving carefully and cautiously, and then took Gan Mei to the Buddhist temple together.

Xiaohong looked at Ouyang Linlin and Gan Mei and said, "Miss, why don't I take Madam Gan Mei with me? You are pregnant and it is inconvenient for you to move."

Ouyang Linlin shook her head slightly and said firmly, "No, I will go there myself. I will feel very happy whenever I see others worshiping Buddha. I also hope to pray for everyone together."

Gan Mei looked at Ouyang Linlin gratefully, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

So, Ouyang Linlin and Gan Mei walked towards the Buddhist temple together.

Entering the Buddhist temple, the quiet and solemn atmosphere hit them.

Gan Mei looked at the solemn Buddha statue, and the sorrow and concern in her heart surged like a flood. She couldn't hold it back anymore and started crying.

Ouyang Linlin saw this and hurried forward to comfort her. "Sister Ganmei, don't cry. If you have any troubles, just tell the Buddha directly."

Ouyang Linlin's voice was gentle and firm. She gently held Ganmei's hand, giving her strength and comfort.

Ganmei listened to Ouyang Linlin's words and tried to stop crying. She raised her head, looked at the Buddha statue, and prayed silently in her heart. (End of this chapter)
