Chapter 236 Interrogation
There was an unused yard there, originally intended for visiting guests to live in, and now a light was on inside.
Daji opened the door for Liu and whispered, "Those two men are awake. According to your instructions, I have imprisoned them separately."
Liu nodded, stood outside the window and looked for a while, but did not go in. She turned and went to the room of the person who was sober from beginning to end.
His hands and feet were tied up, and it was tied with a special technique, so it was basically impossible for him to break free.
Daji brought a chair to Liu, and after she signaled, he stepped forward to take out the rag that was blocking his mouth, then kicked him and threatened: "Behave yourself, or you'll see what happens."
Liu sat on the chair and asked, "Who sent you here?"
He didn't answer.
Liu didn't wait too long. She looked at him and continued to ask, "Are you here for my Bai family, or for someone else?"
He still didn't answer.
Liu looked at him and didn't ask any more questions, but she didn't leave either. She just looked at him quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Liu sighed and asked, "Does anyone know you're here? If someone comes and asks, and we all insist you've left, what can they do to us?"
Fear flashed in his eyes.
Liu said slowly, "There are many ways to kill someone, and there are also many ways to destroy a body. Tell me, can I find the best way?"
He trembled and said nothing.
Liu got up and left.
Daji covered the man's mouth again and then followed him out.
The nanny looked puzzled, not understanding why the old lady wanted to get involved in such a mess.
Liu stood in the yard, looking at the dark night outside. It seemed as if there was a monster hiding in the night, ready to open its mouth and swallow passers-by at any time.
Daji came up and bowed, saying, "Old Madam, I have ordered the servants to guard this place for twelve hours and will not let them leave."
Liu nodded and asked, "Dongshu is gone?"
"Yes, he left when the fight started in the afternoon. He must have gone to inform the master."
Although Mr. Bai said that they could come to him if something happened at home, he didn't mention that the Bai family lived in Qili Village. Just because the three people came first, they didn't dare to take it lightly.
So Dongshu went.
Liu said, "Then take a nap. Lizhi should be back by dawn."
Manbao also ran back to her room to sleep. Qian took a look at the hole and wanted her to sleep with her, but Manbao shook her head firmly, "It's not going to rain, I want to sleep alone."
"Alright, alright, let her go to sleep," Old Zhou said, his face aching, his heart aching, and he was irritable. He waved his hand and said, "If you need anything, call Lao Si and Man Bao. You are not allowed to play too late at night, understand?"
Manbao responded, "I understand."
Manbao happily ran back to the bed, swatted all the mosquitoes away, lowered the mosquito net, lay on the bed, and could even see the stars in the sky.
If it doesn't rain, it would be nice not to repair the roof. I can see the stars and the moon from my bed every day.
Manbao admired the starry sky for a while, and his consciousness entered the system. There were two books in one of the grids, one was "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine" and the other was "Complete Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine".
Keke explained, "'Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine' was compiled by people in the future. It contains the most basic things. Because in the future, many Chinese herbal medicines are extinct or endangered, so I bought the most complete 'Complete Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine' for the host. It contains translations and is easy to understand, very suitable for beginners."
It said, "Compared to modern, and of course, future, Chinese medicine for you, I would rather suggest that you first study ancient Chinese medicine, especially the prescriptions left over from the ancient times that have survived into the 21st century."
"In the middle of the 21st century, Traditional Chinese Medicine flourished, and many prescriptions were fully verified and improved. By learning this knowledge, the host can not only stand on the shoulders of predecessors, but also on the shoulders of future generations."
So stable.
Manbao has always been receptive to Keke's suggestions. She nodded and started to read the basic theory.
Anyone who reads the theory will understand it, and Manbao soon felt sleepy.
She has always been a child who follows her inner choices, so when she feels sleepy, her consciousness jumps out and she falls asleep on the bed.
Koko: ...
It seems a bit of a mistake. I should just buy her a copy of "The Complete Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" and let her read the basic theories when she is older?
We were too excited and stimulated during the day, and the skylight was open, so the weather was relatively cool. Although there were always buzzing mosquitoes, they couldn't get in because of the mosquito net.
After Manbao fell asleep, these noises obviously could not disturb her, so she slept very soundly and didn't even know when the day broke.
Bai Shanbao also slept well. In contrast to them were the vast majority of the villagers, the Zhou family, and Liu from the Bai residence.
She had hardly slept all night, just sitting and lying quietly, so when she heard a sound in the yard, she opened her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's going on?"
The night watch girl immediately went out to ask, and came back a moment later to report, "Madam, it was the doorman who came to report that the master next door has returned."
Liu stood up and said, "Ask the housekeeper to invite the person over."
"yes."
Bai Li rushed back overnight. Originally, they were supposed to return to Luojiang County from the neighboring county today, but when he received the news last night, he became a little restless.
But they stayed in the city last night and the city gates were closed, so he didn't rush back until the city gates opened in the early morning. Fortunately, Lin County was not far from their county, and they arrived there in more than an hour on horseback.
He had just washed his face when the butler was waiting at the door, watching the master wash and reporting the latest situation.
Upon hearing that the three captured people were brought back to Liu's home, Master Bai turned to look at the housekeeper in surprise, "Did my aunt personally say that she would detain and guard them on my behalf?"
"Yes, it was Madam Liu who proposed it herself."
Mr. Bai quickened his pace. He knew his aunt. Ever since her cousin's death, she had been trying to avoid trouble. Except for Shanbao's matter, she was indifferent to everything.
Yesterday, when he heard that Liu had personally led the suspected scammer to the village chief's house, he felt something was wrong. Now, it was said that she had personally taken over such a troublesome matter as detaining someone, which was even more unusual.
Mr. Bai dropped his towel, and just then the servant next door who came to invite him arrived. He had no time to eat breakfast, so he just picked up two snacks and followed them to the next door.
"Is the old lady frightened?"
Mr. Bai asked around and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that not only were the Bai family members well, but even the three "swindlers" seemed to be well.
