Master Qian was somewhat embarrassed and cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Xin: "It was my narrow-mindedness. Xin Xin is right. Women are just as capable as men. Who says women are inferior to men! I hope that there will be more and more women like you sisters in the Great Zhou. I believe that when that time comes, it will be a prosperous era, and the Great Zhou will become more and more prosperous."
Gu Xin returned the greeting with a bow: "Grandpa Qian, I believe it too, I've always believed it."
Mr. Qian smiled, a smile of great satisfaction: "I think now that this case is closed, I'll go back to the capital with you. I have a feeling there will be even more fun things to do in the capital."
Gu Xin nodded: "Okay, okay! Grandpa Qian can come to my house and play with my grandpa. My grandpa grows a lot of flowers and raises birds. My grandpa likes to play chess and drinks a few cups every now and then. I believe grandpa will definitely have a lot of fun with Grandpa Qian."
Mr. Qian laughed heartily: "Good, good, good. I haven't made any friends for many years. With most of my body buried in the ground, it would be a great pleasure in life to be able to make some old friends to drink, play chess and chat with in my old age."
...
Around noon, Constable Gao arrived in a hurry with a team of constables from the Jingzhao Prefecture. They were all covered in dust. As soon as they arrived at the inn, they reported directly to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin handed him a stack of portraits, which she, Lu Zheng, and Gu En had just drawn: "Officer Gao, you also need He Gang and He Qiang to take the portraits and lead men to search for the people in the portraits from the east, west, and north. Bring them back immediately if you find them."
Officer Gao took the portrait and distributed it to He Gang and He Qiang.
Gu Xin then had Wang Pangzi bring out the dry food and water that had been prepared beforehand: "Here, take these with you and eat as you go. By the way, if you haven't found anything by 5 PM, come back immediately. Bai Yi set off to search last night. If you still haven't found anything after we meet up back here, then we'll make further plans."
Officer Gao took the items, distributed them without a word, and then called his men to get to work.
The person in white started their search from the south, and even brought along the shop assistant and his dog. It's unknown whether the intelligent dog managed to lead the person to their destination.
Afterwards, Du San Niang's two guards, A Fu and A Gui, also returned. They had completed the tasks assigned by Gu Xin and brought back a reply.
Gu Xin informed everyone at the inn, and they were all relieved.
Everything was settled and there was no more delay. They now had time to wait and see how the case would unfold.
This morning, Gu Xin also treated that customer's mother. She didn't just stabilize the condition directly; after examining her, she used acupuncture. The old lady's condition improved a lot, and the whole family thanked Gu Xin repeatedly.
Although Gu Xin was confident in her medical skills, she still instructed them not to be overconfident. She said that she could provide medical services for the next two days, but after the matter was over, they should still go to the capital to find a doctor.
Looking at Gu Xin's skillful acupuncture technique, Master Qian was secretly amazed. How could this little girl know everything?
It must take a long time to learn these things, and this girl isn't even eighteen yet, is she?
Did they start learning from the womb?
He not only thought it in his heart, but also asked it aloud.
Then Gu En answered his question.
Gu En recounted all the hardships they had endured while living with Gu Shouxin when they were young.
