After the meal, Gu Chengrui changed the unlucky man’s wound dressing, and the couple left the interspace.
Gu Chengrui said to Zhou Ying when they came out, “Go to the west wing and rest for a while. I’ll go and gather some people.”
After saying that, he locked the door from the outside and walked to the patriarch’s house.
Zhou Ying was quite sleepy initially, but she didn’t sleep in the end. First, she feared it wouldn’t look good when others came. Second, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if she slept too much.
Therefore, she went to the kitchen, boiled a pot of hot water, and made a pot of tea. Then, she washed some cups and prepared them.
After that, Zhou Ying took out the soybeans she had bought from the grain shop and started sifting them while sitting in the courtyard.
After a while, Gu Chengrui came over with a large group of people. He began to serve them tea and also brought out some small snacks.
About an hour later, three officers rushed in. Er Zhuang immediately barked at the three of them and blocked their way.
Seeing that the leader of the three was about to slash at Er Zhuang, Zhou Ying immediately got up and walked over to stop him. “What business do you all have here?”
“This little lady looks pretty good. Since we’ve been tired of running around, why don’t you accompany us for a few drinks?” The leader of the group saw Zhou Ying’s appearance and smiled.
After speaking, he raised his hand and wanted to touch Zhou Ying’s face.
However, just as she raised her hand, Gu Chengrui rushed out and stopped him. “If you have something to say, say it. There’s no need to make things difficult for a woman.”
“Kid…” The leader still wanted to say something, but when he saw more than ten strong men coming out of the house, he immediately swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue.
“What are you all doing here?” he asked.
“Officer, we are all people from the Gu clan. The clan’s ship sank some time ago, so we came over to discuss buying a ship.” The patriarch stepped forward and greeted him.
“I wonder why three officers have come. Do you want to come in and sit?” he asked.
Seeing this, although the leader was unhappy, he knew he could not force his way anymore. He said, “Forget it. We’re here to look for bandits. Have there been any strangers in your village recently? ”
“Really? That’s great. Our Gu clan’s ship was robbed a few days ago.
“As for the strangers you mentioned, there are some. They made a scene in the village a few days ago and were later sent to the county officials. You’ll know when you go back and investigate.”
The leader’s mouth twitched when he heard that. He was impressed that they tried to relate two different batches of people.
“It’s not the same thing. We still have to go in and search.”
“Uh… Please.” The patriarch hesitated for a moment but still stepped aside to let them into the house. At the same time, Gu Chengrui also brought a few people and followed them in.
The three officers, who had wanted to take the opportunity to search the house and take some things, had no choice but to search the house obediently when they saw them follow them in.
After making sure that no one else was around, he looked at Gu Chengrui and said, “You are the doctor of this village, Gu Chengrui?”
“Yes, I know some arts of medicine.” Gu Chengrui answered respectfully.
“One of the criminals we are searching for is seriously injured. If anyone comes to treat his wounds, remember to report it in time.
“In addition, don’t simply prescribe your medicine for now. Once we find out, you’ll be treated as a traitor.”
“Yes.”
Seeing this, the leader waved his hand, and two of his men went to the medicine cabinet and searched for all medicines for external injuries. Ultimately, they even took away the most expensive bag of ginseng slices.
“Um… What if the villagers are injured after these have been taken away?” Gu Chengrui stepped forward and said hesitantly.
