Chapter 770 Analysis of the Mastermind
Gan Mei looked at Xi Yu with unbearable eyes and said softly: "Husband, after all, I have lived here, so I might as well forgive them."
Yu Yu frowned tightly, obviously unhappy.
"If I hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. They must pay the price for their actions."
At this time, the secret guard had already killed Chen Qiangfa.
When Chen's mother saw her son's miserable condition, she burst into heart-wrenching tears.
She threw herself next to Chen Qiangfa's body, tears gushing out like a bursting flood.
Xi Yu took Gan Mei's hand and turned around to leave.
Before leaving, he glanced at Mother Chen again and said, "I hope you can remember this lesson and educate your descendants." After that, he strode out of the yard with Ganmei.
Song Shuwen followed Xi Yu, his heart filled with emotion.
Xi Yu, Gan Mei and Song Shuwen slowly left the village.
Their figures looked a little lonely in the moonlight, and what had just happened made everyone feel particularly heavy.
They walked into a forest, and the moonlight fell on the forest like water, covering the entire forest with a layer of silver gauze.
The leaves swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, as if telling the tranquility of the night.
Xi Yu held Gan Mei's hand tightly and walked in front.
The three of them continued to move forward, the moonlight still shining quietly on them.
After a while, Ganmei felt her steps become heavier and a look of exhaustion appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Xi Yu quickly helped her gently and walked to a big rock nearby.
Ganmei slowly sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Gan Mei turned her attention to Song Shuwen and asked curiously: "Shenyi Doctor Song, where have you been during this time? Have you come back after collecting medicine? Moreover, Xi Ping'an is actually cured."
Gan Mei's eyes were full of expectation, and she eagerly wanted to know Song Shuwen's experience during this time.
Song Shuwen was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and explained the matter.
He said slowly: "During this period, I didn't expect that so many things happened. When the Prime Minister told me that the child was well, I felt very incredible. It seems that Jiren has his own destiny, this is really What a miracle!”
Xi Yu looked at the slightly tired Gan Mei and said softly: "Let's rest for a while, and then go to the inn for now."
Ganmei nodded slightly. She indeed felt very tired. At this moment, she just wanted to find a place to take a good rest.
After a while, the three people came to a country inn.
Although the inn is simple and simple, it still gives people a warm feeling in this quiet countryside.
As soon as Ganmei entered the inn, she felt that she could no longer hold on.
Her face was full of tiredness, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
The next day, the sun shone into the room through the window. Ganmei slowly opened her eyes, still feeling a little weak.
She stood up and walked to the door, and said to Xi Yu outside: "I still feel a little tired. I want to take a rest and start my journey again later." Gan Mei's eyes showed a hint of exhaustion and her voice was a little weak.
Xi Yu quickly walked to Gan Mei and said gently: "Of course, you can have a good rest in the room."
Xi Yu came to Song Shuwen's room and knocked gently on the door.
Song Shuwen opened the door and was slightly startled when he saw Xi Yu.
Xi Yu walked into the room and said solemnly: "Doctor Song, tell me in detail the scene after you were trapped and see if you can analyze the clues."
Xi Yu's eyes were full of expectation. He hoped to find some useful information from Song Shuwen's experience.
Song Shuwen narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into memories.
The focus is on the scene when I went to Song Dabao’s house.
The courtyard is very quaint. Before entering the courtyard, I saw the horse-tying stone. Although the stone was a bit old, it seemed to bear the traces of time.
Walking into the yard, a pomegranate tree comes into view. The pomegranate tree is extremely lush, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the green leaves are shining in the sun.
There is an ancient well next to the pomegranate tree, and the water in the well is crystal clear.
There are some farm tools piled in the corner of the yard.
Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "This is indeed a very important clue. Based on the general geographical location and the characteristics of the village, we will definitely be able to find out the mastermind behind this."
His tone was full of confidence, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Then, Xi Yu turned around and said sternly: "The secret guard comes out."
After a while, a dark figure quietly appeared in front of Xi Yu, kneeling on one knee, waiting for Xi Yu's order.
Xi Yu looked at the secret guard and asked seriously: "Did you hear clearly? Go investigate the clues quickly and make sure there are no mistakes."
The secret guard respectfully replied: "I obey." After saying that, he disappeared like a black shadow and went to carry out Xi Yu's order.
Xi Yu looked at Song Shuwen, his eyes full of emotion, and said softly: "Doctor Song, you have suffered. Those secret guards who died to protect us must be remembered well."
There was a hint of heaviness in Xi Yu's voice, full of respect for the lives that had passed away.
Then, Xi Yu changed the subject and raised a topic: "Shenyi Doctor Song, this is also a suggestion Wen Xuan gave me. I hope you can recruit more apprentices. Don't overthink it. We just think your medical skills are so superb. , if it can be passed down, it will be a blessing to the people.”
After hearing Xi Yu's words, Song Shuwen was slightly stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Of course. I have always wanted to pass on this medical skill, but I have never had the right opportunity."
Seeing that Song Shuwen agreed, Xi Yu was overjoyed and said quickly: "If possible, I will fund the construction of a medical clinic for you. In this way, you can better teach medical skills and cultivate more medical talents."
Song Shuwen looked at Xi Yu gratefully and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your support. I will definitely live up to your expectations, pass on the medical skills and benefit the people."
At noon, the sun shines in the room through the window, and Ganmei wakes up leisurely.
After a morning's rest, she looked much better, but deep down she was still a little scared about what happened last night.
Those horrific scenes flashed through her mind from time to time, making her heart beat faster involuntarily.
However, she didn't want Xi Yu to worry about her, so she tried to control her emotions and didn't show the slightest fear in front of Xi Yu.
Xi Yu looked at Gan Mei, his eyes full of tenderness and concern.
He said softly: "Ganmei, don't worry, the mastermind behind it will definitely be caught. I have sent people to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon."
Gan Mei looked at Xi Yu, nodded slightly, and said, "I believe you."
Next, the three of them eat together.
After eating, they hired a carriage to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the carriage, Gan Mei leaned on Xi Yu's shoulder, closing her eyes as if thinking about something.
Xi Yu gently held Gan Mei's hand, conveying warmth and strength to her.
The carriage drove slowly along the country road, and the sound of rolling wheels broke the silence.
The sun shines on the carriage, giving it a warm and peaceful feeling.
The carriage bumped along the road, but the coachman kept chattering all the way. His voice was loud and full of energy, as if he had endless words to say.
"Hey, when you three go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you must be asking the Prime Minister to do something."
The coachman shouted while waving his whip.
His eyes were full of curiosity, as if he wanted to find the answer from their expressions.
The three people sat in the carriage, listening to the coachman's words, but no one spoke.
A faint smile appeared on their faces.
The coachman didn't feel embarrassed when he saw that they didn't talk to each other.
He continued: "The Prime Minister is a very good person. Many people are praising him now."
Finally, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xi Yu got out of the car first. He had a tall and straight figure and an extraordinary temperament.
The soldiers guarding the gate immediately saluted and paid homage to the prime minister in unison.
This scene made the coachman stunned. His eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
After a while, he stammered: "It turns out...it turns out that this guest officer is the prime minister. The villain has eyes but no eyes, and the villain has eyes but no eyes!"
But soon, the coachman became excited again, his eyes shining with excitement. "I actually managed to win over the Prime Minister. This is such a blessing!"
His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and a proud smile spread across his face.
Then the coachman lost his temper and started dancing and laughing.
"Hahahaha, I actually pulled the Prime Minister, I actually pulled the Prime Minister!" His laughter echoed in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, attracting side glances from the people around him.
Xi Yu frowned slightly as he looked at the carriage driver.
He did not like this display of gaffe, but he did not blame the coachman.
He just said calmly: "Okay, you can go."
When the coachman heard Xi Yu's words, he immediately stopped laughing.
He bowed respectfully and drove off in his carriage.
Ever since Xi Yu and others were sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, this incident had become a source of bragging for the carriage driver.
No matter where he goes, whenever he gets a chance, he will happily tell others about his legendary experience of pulling the Prime Minister.
"Hey, do you know? I pulled the Prime Minister that day! It's the famous Prime Minister!" The coachman said with pride on his face, dancing and dancing, as if it was the most glorious moment in his life.
However, others mostly thought he was bragging.
"Come on, just brag! Why did the Prime Minister ride in your carriage?" someone said disdainfully.
The coachman was anxious and quickly explained: "It's true! I really pulled the prime minister! The soldiers guarding the door saluted him at that time!" His eyes were full of eagerness, eager for others to believe his words.
But others just didn't listen and shook their heads in disbelief.
"Stop talking nonsense, who will believe you?"
The coachman was very angry. He blushed and said loudly: "What I said is true! Why don't you believe it?"
His heart was full of grievance and helplessness. He had experienced such a glorious thing, but no one believed him.
But no matter how he explained it, others always thought he was bragging.
Ganmei dragged her somewhat tired body back to the room.
As soon as she entered the room, the familiar layout gave her an inexplicable sense of peace of mind. Without any hesitation, she immediately walked to the bed, sat down slowly, and then lay down.
The soft bed seemed like a warm embrace, surrounding her tightly.
After a while, Ganmei fell asleep and fell asleep.
In other parts of the mansion, many people still don't know that Gan Mei is back.
The servants in the mansion were still busy with their own affairs, and the courtyard was still quiet.
Xi Yu was in the study, quietly waiting for the secret guard to return with the news.
There was a trace of anxiety and expectation in his eyes, and he was constantly guessing what kind of news the secret guard would bring.
Xi Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "The secret guard who arranged Gan Mei's residence that day came out."
The secret guard appeared immediately.
His face was full of guilt and uneasiness. When he saw Xi Yu, he immediately knelt down.
He knew that he had done a bad job, and said in a trembling voice: "Prime Minister, I know my mistakes and beg for punishment from the Prime Minister."
Xi Yu looked at the secret guard kneeling on the ground, and a trace of severity flashed in his eyes.
"You did a bad job. If I hadn't arrived in time this time, the consequences would be disastrous." Xi Yu's tone was serious, and the body of the secret guard trembled involuntarily.
But then, Xi Yu's tone softened a little, "However, considering that you were unintentional, I will spare your life this time. But you must be careful in the future and don't be so careless."
The secret guard was full of gratitude after hearing Xi Yu's words.
He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you for not killing me, Prime Minister. I will do my best in the future and never make the same mistake again."
Xi Yu nodded slightly, waved his hand, and signaled the secret guard to withdraw.
The secret guard stood up and retreated respectfully.
He secretly swore in his heart that he must work harder for the Prime Minister in the future to repay the Prime Minister's grace of not killing him.
Xi Yu sat there quietly, his eyes slightly empty, and fell into deep thought.
He thought that these secret guards were really loyal to him. No matter what kind of danger they faced, they would rush to the front without hesitation, and some people even sacrificed their lives for him.
A complex emotion surged in his heart, with touching, admiration, and a little sigh.
If it were in the previous life, it would not be easy to make some people loyal.
The world in the previous life was full of entanglements of interests and the complexity of human hearts. People often acted for their own interests, and it was difficult to find such pure loyalty.
Xi Yu sighed softly. He knew that he was lucky to have such a group of loyal secret guards.
In Ouyang Linlin's room, Ouyang Linlin sat quietly on the chair, her eyes were a little empty, and she was in a daze.
Her heart was full of confusion and grievances. Until now, she couldn't figure out why someone would write a letter to insult her and make up stories about her.
Her brows were slightly wrinkled, and a trace of worry appeared on her face.
At this moment, Xiaohong suddenly said, "Miss, the eldest lady is here."
Ouyang Linlin was surprised and asked quickly, "Is the eldest lady back?"
Then, she got up quickly and tidied her clothes and hair.
After a while, Gan Mei came in.
She had a gentle smile on her face and her eyes were full of concern.
"Sister is pregnant now, so there is no need to be so polite." Gan Mei's voice was soft and warm, which made people feel very comfortable.
Ouyang Linlin looked at Gan Mei, and a warm current surged in her heart.
She lowered her head slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister."
Ouyang Linlin looked at Gan Mei with curiosity in her eyes and asked, "Sister, where have you been these days?"
Her voice was soft and concerned.
Gan Mei smiled slightly and said, "Sister, let Xiaohong close the door and let's talk."
After Xiaohong closed the door obediently, Gan Mei slowly opened her mouth and told the story one by one.
Her voice was calm and steady, describing every detail clearly and vividly.
Ouyang Linlin listened quietly, sometimes showing a surprised expression, and sometimes nodding slightly. When Gan Mei finished speaking, Ouyang Linlin said, "I also heard from my husband that this was a show, and now I feel relieved."
Gan Mei quickly returned to her room.
The girls who had been beaten had almost rested now, and they felt a little relieved.
At this time, Xi Yu sent someone to tell them that Madam Gan Mei had returned home and asked the girls to continue to serve.
As soon as Gan Mei entered the room, the eyes of several maids lit up instantly, and their faces were full of surprise.
They hurriedly surrounded her, with tears of excitement in their eyes.
"Madam, you are finally back!" A maid was full of joy, with a little sob in her voice.
"Madam, where have you been recently? We are worried about you." Another maid tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of concern.
Gan Mei looked at these maids, and a warm current surged in her heart.
She sighed softly, her expression slightly sad.
"I just went out to relax and made you worry."
The maids looked at Gan Mei, their eyes full of heartache.
One of the maids who was a little braver said softly: "Madam, don't be sad about the death of the young master anymore. You must take care of yourself."
After that, she lowered her head slightly, with worry in her eyes.
Gan Mei nodded slightly, and a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes.
"I will think it through. Thank you. You were beaten because of the child. I am sorry for you."
At this time, a maid waved her hands hurriedly, looking flustered.
"Madam, you are too serious. It's all the cook Zhu Lianxiang's fault. She has harmed everyone."
She bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of anger. The other maids also nodded, with resentment on their faces.
Gan Mei lowered her eyes slightly, thinking secretly in her heart.
She knew very well that after all, Xi Yu had not disclosed the true situation of Xi Ping'an. It would be useless to say more at this time, and it might cause unnecessary trouble.
She looked up at the maids, her expression calm and firm.
"Just do what you should do."
The maids looked at each other, still confused, but did not dare to say much, and nodded in response.
Several maids stayed in the room quietly, each doing their own job.
Some made the bed, some wiped the furniture, their movements were gentle and skillful.
They looked at Gan Mei secretly from time to time, with awe and worry in their eyes.
Gan Mei sat on the chair, slightly closing her eyes.
She thought of Zhu Lianxiang again, such an honest old man, how could she have thought that he would do such a bad thing? (End of this chapter)
