The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray
Chapter 93: Guilty Feeling
Doctor Wu endured it at home for the whole morning. After lunch, he took Awei to Li Xi and went to the military camp himself.
During this period of time, the people who were sent to protect Li Xi had already interrogated those who followed Li Xi. According to their confession, they were servants of Wang Yuanwai, the stepfather of Li Xi's siblings, and they followed Li Xi on the orders of the master Wang Yuanwai.
He said they had no ill intentions and that their master came this time just to recognize them as siblings.
Hong Jiang, who was in charge of interrogating them, naturally would not believe their one-sided words. Before they were sent to protect Li Xi, the major general specifically told them that Li Xi was an important person and they must protect her.
No matter what happens, big or small, you have to report to him.
These days they didn't realize how important Li Xi was. She just stayed at home every day, but this made them feel a lot more relaxed. They didn't expect that after she finally came out, she was actually being targeted.
Hong Jiang sent people to take the captured people to the military camp and hand them over to the major general for handling, while he took the rest of the people back to continue protecting Li Xi.
Because of the interrogation, Hong Jiang did waste a lot of time. When he brought his men back, he happened to see Li Xi and her brother coming out of their home.
Hong Jiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Xi was safe and sound. He had been inexplicably nervous before, always feeling that something bad had happened, but fortunately, nothing happened.
What he didn't know was that it wasn't that nothing happened, but that the problem had already been solved by Li Xi.
After the people sent by Wang Yuanwai were sent to the military camp, they were taken to see Gu Jingzhi. Gu Jingzhi had already learned the general truth of the matter from the people who escorted them here.
He roughly knew about Madam Liu's remarriage, after all, he was living in the Li family at that time, but he didn't know much about Mr. Wang.
Gu Jingzhi looked at the five people kneeling on the ground trembling with fear, his eyes dimmed slightly, but judging from the fact that he could use such means, he was probably not here with good intentions.
Although these servants kept saying that their master was kind-hearted and could not bear to see Li Xi and her siblings separated from Aunt Liu, he came to Jiayuguan to pick them up.
But if Mr. Wang was really kind-hearted and couldn't bear to separate mother and child, then what had he been doing before? Why didn't he come for such a long time before, and now he comes to play the role of a loving father?
Gu Jingzhi sneered, "Go back and tell your master that the Li brothers and sisters are now under my protection. If you want to make plans with them, first consider whether you are strong enough.
Also, tell him not to do this kind of tricks again. I let you go this time, but you may not be so lucky next time."
What could the captured servants say? They just nodded repeatedly and swore to heaven and earth that they would never dare to do it again.
All that needed to be said had been said, and Gu Jingzhi was too lazy to bother with them anymore. He waved his hand and had them taken away.
Everything Li Xi took out was amazing, no matter if it was hemostatic or anti-inflammatory, their effects were too amazing.
The value of cement that has not yet been mixed to the optimal proportion is immeasurable. He was really curious about how she could always come up with so many desirable things so easily.
Did she pick up more than one sacred book from the mountain?
Thinking of this, Gu Jingzhi suddenly laughed. He felt that he was really stupid to believe the lies she made up.
Although Li Xi found a reasonable source for his medical skills, Gu Jingzhi never believed it, unlike Doctor Wu who was fooled by Li Xi.
Gu Jingzhi, who had lived with Li Xi for a period of time, could recognize when Li Xi was lying. Although he didn't know why she lied, everyone has secrets, so he didn't delve into it.
After all, the benefits she brought to the Zhenbei Army were unquestionable, and for valuable people, it was natural for her to have some secrets.
Although Li Xi is greedy, money-loving and a liar, he knows that she is actually a very simple person at heart.
The advent of hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs will surely make many people focus on the Zhenbei Army. Although there are only a few people in the army who know that Li Xi is the one who made hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs, Gu Jingzhi still dare not take it lightly, and all the people sent to her are top experts.
He was afraid that someone might really find out about her, but he didn't expect that the first group of people they caught would be such a group of people.
Just now, when he heard his subordinates report that someone was following Li Xi, he panicked for a moment. He didn't expect that they caught such a group of people.
After the servants sent by Mr. Wang were escorted away, Gu Jingzhi took a look at the official business that had been handled and planned to return home today to see Li Xi. He also needed to tell her that Mr. Wang had sent people to follow her so that she could be prepared in advance for whatever they wanted to do.
Not long after she left last time, the Zhenbei Army started fighting against Wuhubi. Although they won, there were still a lot of things to deal with afterwards. In fact, because they won, there were more things to do.
Statistical reports on military merits and casualties, pensions for dead and wounded soldiers, arrangements for captured Huns, etc., all of these things really kept people busy, and things have only come to an end now.
Gu Jingzhi didn't expect that Doctor Wu would come to see him before he returned.
Everyone in the military camp knew Doctor Wu, so he did not need to report when entering the camp. After he came in, he went straight to Gu Jingzhi's tent.
"Go and inform Gu Jingzhi that I want to see him." Doctor Wu said to the soldiers guarding outside the tent.
"Doctor Wu, please wait a moment. I will go in and report." The soldier said and lifted the curtain and went in.
"Major General, Doctor Wu wants to see you."
Gu Jingzhi had nothing to do and was enjoying a rare moment of leisure. He had just brewed his treasured tea and had just placed his hand on the teapot to pour himself a cup.
"Invite him in."
"Yes."
Gu Jingzhi put another teacup on the table. Why did Uncle Wu come here at this time? Could it be that something happened to Li Xi again?
He frowned slightly, and before he could figure it out, Doctor Wu strode in.
Gu Jingzhi saw him come in and stood up from his chair, "Uncle Wu, why are you here at this time? But what happened?"
Doctor Wu looked at Gu Jingzhi's tall and handsome appearance, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
"Sit down, sit down, let's sit down and talk."
Doctor Wu said this and sat down opposite Gu Jingzhi, who followed suit.
"Something did happen. Li Xi was followed by someone, but it's not a big problem. The girl is quite smart and has solved it."
Doctor Wu saw that there was tea on the table, so he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup. He looked at Gu Jingzhi's empty cup across from him, paused, and poured him a cup of tea as well. Drinking some tea can help calm your nerves, which is good.
Gu Jingzhi frowned when he heard what Doctor Wu said. Did he mean that Li Xi was followed again and solved it herself?
"She solved it herself?"
Aren't Hong Jiang and the others here? How come she solved it by herself?
Hearing his question, Doctor Wu seemed to have thought of something and questioned him, "Didn't you send someone to protect her? How come there was no one at the critical moment!"
Otherwise, it wouldn't be Li Xi's turn to take action, and his reputation would be destroyed by that girl! He should also be responsible for this.
Doctor Wu looked at Gu Jingzhi with complicated eyes.
Gu Jingzhi was frightened by the look in Doctor Wu's eyes, but he still accurately grasped the key points of his words.
"Not even one person?"
Gu Jingzhi had a vague guess in his mind. Could it be that after Hong Jiang discovered that someone was following Li Xi, he took everyone to deal with it, and after they left, Li Xi encountered another group of people coming after her?
I have to say, Gu Jingzhi’s guess was very accurate.
"Who on earth did you send to protect Li Xi? Don't you know how to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
At this point, Doctor Wu got a little angry. This time, Li Xi was lucky and those people believed her outrageous words. If the next time someone came just to call for her name and didn't listen to her nonsense at all, but just stabbed her, then Li Xi would be finished.
At this moment, Doctor Wu had already forgotten how lethal the sleeve arrows Li Xi had made for him were.
Gu Jingzhi didn't expect Hong Jiang to do something so irrational. He frowned and said, "Uncle Wu, don't worry. I will give Li Xi an explanation for this matter."
Seeing Gu Jingzhi's sincere expression, Doctor Wu's anger subsided a little. "This explanation does need to be given. After all, it was you who promised to protect them."
"Ahem." Doctor Wu suddenly coughed twice. "I heard from Li Xi that there were ten people blocking her. They were all tall and strong with fierce faces. It was not easy for a little girl like her to fool them. Ahem, it was not easy for her to escape from their hands safely. No matter what means she used, it is understandable, right?"
Gu Jingzhi was sure that he had just heard the word "scam". Looking at the wandering look in Doctor Wu's eyes, he knew that Li Xi must have done something "extraordinary".
"So, what method did she use?" Gu Jingzhi asked cautiously.
Looking at Uncle Wu's current appearance, he knew that Li Xi was definitely fine, but he himself seemed to be in trouble.
Doctor Wu picked up the teacup and drank it all. "It's like this, that group of people thought she was my medicine boy and wanted to get the prescription of hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs from her.
In order not to tell them the prescription and to protect herself, Li Xi lied that she was a commoner girl that you had abducted. "
Gu Jingzhi: ...
Gu Jingzhi blinked, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
"What did she say she was?"
Things have come to this point, and Doctor Wu has simply given up. She even accused herself of being his accomplice who spied on people, but he hasn't said anything yet.
"The woman you kidnapped.
She said that she saved you in the countryside, but you turned your kindness into enmity and wanted to force her to be your concubine. Her mother disagreed, so you forced her mother to be someone else's concubine, and then threatened her with her brother, and brought her into the city, asking me to look after her for you." Doctor Wu recounted the story in very simple terms.
I can't go into detail about this matter, as those words are so painful to say. I don't know how that girl Li Xi made up such an outrageous story, but she made it seem a little bit real.
Really, he is so old, why does he have to endure all this? It's so ridiculous, too ridiculous!
After being with Li Xi for a long time, Doctor Wu learned a lot of new words.
After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi felt sick. This was too outrageous. It was fine if he just took a fancy to her and forced her to be his concubine, but if her mother didn't agree, he would force her mother to be someone else's concubine? Was he seriously ill? He could do such a crazy thing.
The upper class circles were in chaos, and he had heard of many cases of forcing good women to become concubines and bullying men and women. Aren't they usually just throwing money at them or beating them up if their families disagreed?
Forcing someone's daughter to be a concubine. If the mother doesn't agree, then forcing the mother to be a concubine as well. What kind of plot can one come up with? Even a storybook can't write such a plot.
Gu Jingzhi picked up the teapot in a trance and poured himself tea, but he forgot that there was tea in the cup. The tea overflowed and flowed down the table to the ground.
Doctor Wu: "...You want to be open-minded, it's all fake anyway, Li Xi is just trying to protect herself."
Gu Jingzhi came back to his senses and put down the teapot, took the towel beside him and wiped the tea on the table, "Yes, I know."
He knew that Li Xi made up this lie to protect herself, so he naturally couldn't hold her responsible for ruining his reputation. Gu Jingzhi's lips curled up into an icy smile, but if Hong Jiang and the others hadn't been there to protect her, she wouldn't have had to protect herself, and there wouldn't have been such an outrageous story.
He had already decided to have a good talk with Hong Hai after returning home today.
Hong Hai, who was protecting outside the Li family's courtyard, suddenly shuddered, touched the back of his neck nonchalantly, and continued to squat and protect.
"If Li Xi doesn't have enough people to protect her, let's add another group." Doctor Wu didn't want to hear his name in Li Xi's story again.
"Well, I will strengthen the protection of Li Xi."
Presumably, the news of his abducting a woman had already reached some people's ears. But that was also good. He could take this opportunity to send more people to Li Xi's side. Anyway, he had a ready-made reason now - he was afraid that she would run away.
Gu Jingzhi's eyes were dark, he just didn't know who was looking for Li Xi this time.
After the matter was said, Doctor Wu said he was leaving, and Gu Jingzhi went back with him. On the return carriage, Doctor Wu lifted the curtain and glanced at Gu Jingzhi who was riding a horse beside the carriage, with a worried look on his face. He shouldn't be going to cause trouble for Li Xi, right?
Gu Jingzhi knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and said helplessly, "Uncle Wu, don't worry, I know it's not Li Xi's fault."
"That's good, that's good." Hearing him say this, Doctor Wu felt relieved and lowered the curtain and sat down.
……
The carriage stopped in front of Doctor Wu's door.
Doctor Wu got off the carriage. He glanced at the Li family next to him whose door was tightly closed, then opened his own door and said, "Talk it out."
He knew that Gu Jingzhi would definitely go find Li Xi.
"Got it." Gu Jingzhi watched Doctor Wu enter the house before going up and knocking on Li Xi's door.
Awei and Huzi were writing big words in the room, so Li Xi had to put down the medicine powder in her hand, come out of the pharmacy and open the door.
Seeing Gu Jingzhi standing outside the door, Li Xi felt a little guilty for a rare moment.
"How did you come?"
