Chapter 406 - The Next Day
Chapter 406: The Next Day
Actually, this was not the first time. There had been some clues previously when the second son had an abnormal reaction when the county magistrate was unlucky. The three babies were not afraid of the cold and were calmer than ordinary babies. The appearance of the black panther. This was not the first time Ye Lulu had had doubts.
Until this time, Ye Lulu was almost certain that her three babies seemed to be just a little extraordinary. What mysterious abilities did they have?!
Ye Lulu had already guessed it in her heart. Guan Chibei looked at her without denying it. He hugged the eldest son and pressed him into his arms. He only said vaguely:
“They’re all your children. Don’t you know? Pack up and close the shop. It’s about time.”
It was indeed time. Usually, they had to go back at this time. The Yuan River was closed at night, and there were no customers if it was too late.
Ye Lulu finally got an answer. She looked at the eldest son in Guan Chibei’s arms and nodded without any expression before entering the shop.
When she headed out, she did not prepare any dishes for the customers at the few tables. Ye Lulu saw that it was too late and gave each of them a food box with secret dishes. She smiled and apologized before persuading them to eat at a restaurant in the city.
Those big restaurants in the city might be doing business in the middle of the night.
The customers at those tables were persuaded to leave after waiting for a while. They were originally unhappy, but the food at Linhe Zhai Xing Lou was special. Furthermore, it was different every day. The shop was already famous. They seemed to be quite happy to receive a food box with secret dishes for free.
After sending off the guests and closing the shop, Ye Lulu returned to the mountain with the Guan family.
They really had to plan for the shop. Otherwise, they would be busier in the future. They could not stand the thought of going back and forth to the mountain every day.
The next day, the news of the Kind Doctor’s medicinal soup harming people exploded in Yuan City.
The officials could not suppress this matter, either. The officials cleaned up the scene after the lightning struck and collected the bodies of the commoners who had died upon drinking the medicine.
The matter could not be hidden at all. It spread immediately and caused a huge commotion.
The Kind Doctor’s medicinal soup had actually poisoned more than ten commoners to death. Furthermore, he had originally wanted to poison all the commoners in Yuan City to death!
The lightning from the sky last night struck and killed the Kind Doctor on the spot!
They heard that there was another person, the Kind Doctor’s wife!
The lightning even shattered the pot of medicinal soup on the spot. On the ground in front of the Yuan City’s government’s door, a huge pit was created by the lightning!
This was shocking enough.
Therefore, early in the morning, the entire Yuan City was shaken. Many commoners ran to the street where the charred pit was. There were also the families of the dozen or so commoners who had died from drinking the medicine. They cried loudly and swarmed at the government’s door, wanting an explanation.
They screamed and scolded the Kind Doctor for being a Poison Doctor. They wanted his tongue to be pulled out in hell and his family to be poisoned to death!
The Kind Doctor should suffer the pain of being dismembered. The worse it was, the better.
However, what else could they do? The Kind Doctor had already been killed by the lightning.
The officials did not have an explanation. The evil deed was done by the Kind Doctor alone, so they could not blame the officials. Furthermore, the officials were the ones who had treated the children in Yuan City for free for so long.
The commoners had no reason to blame the officials.
However, the families of those commoners did not relent and argued that the Kind Doctor was hired by the government. The government had hired a Poison Doctor to poison their families.
