Chapter 174 Well water?
When they stepped into the clinic, a fresh scent of medicine wafted into their noses.
Some of the people had already woken up. When they saw that the person who came in was Ye Zirou, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in their eyes, and they struggled to get up from their beds.
They looked at Ye Zirou with haggard yet grateful faces.
"Thank you Madam Mo for saving my life!"
Although the voices of the people were still a little weak, every word was filled with sincere emotion.
Seeing this, Ye Zirou hurriedly took a few steps forward, gently raised her hand and made a soothing gesture.
"Everyone, get up quickly. You are all citizens of Tianzi City. It is my duty to protect you."
"That being said, if you hadn't saved us, we would probably still be poisoned and unconscious, or even have died long ago."
An elderly citizen said this sincerely, his eyes full of gratitude and respect for Ye Zirou.
Ye Zirou smiled slightly and shook her head gently.
"Everyone, you're welcome. How do you feel about your physical condition?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commoner in the crowd immediately stood up impatiently and reported to Ye Zirou respectfully.
"Mrs. Mo, we are all fine now and in much better spirits." His face was full of joy.
"That's good, but everyone still needs to recuperate. After Miss Xiao Ling finishes the examination and confirms that there is no problem tomorrow, everyone can go home with peace of mind.
But before that, I want to tell you that after some investigation, the cause of your poisoning has been found, and it was caused by the water in your well." Ye Zirou said seriously.
"water?"
When the people heard this, they looked at each other with confusion and surprise on their faces.
"Right, so I want to ask you, what did you do with your own wells? Or did you encounter anyone? Any details may be related to this poisoning incident."
Ye Zirou patiently asked the people, hoping to find some clues from their answers.
Hearing Ye Zirou's question, everyone began to discuss in low voices, and for a while, the clinic was filled with noisy sounds.
And just at this moment, someone in the crowd seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mrs. Mo, I remember now. Before I got sick, I met a young man who claimed that he had a thousand-year-old river pearl that could make water sweet and delicious. He also emphasized that there was only one, which made it extremely precious.
I didn't believe him at first, but then he put the bead into a bowl of water. I tried to drink it, and the taste of the water really changed miraculously, becoming unusually sweet. So I was tempted and bought the bead from him."
When everyone heard what he said, they all rushed to speak.
"Yeah, me too. I bought one too."
"I bought it too!"
"I bought it too!"
"This... isn't there only one? Why did everyone buy it?" A citizen suddenly reacted, his face full of astonishment.
"Turns out he's a liar!" another citizen said with sudden realization, an angry look on his face.
At this point, everyone realized that they had been cheated.
Ye Zirou frowned slightly and asked, "Who is that person?"
Some people shook their heads blankly, indicating that they did not know this person.
But there are still people who know him and say excitedly: "I know that man. He often comes to the city to trade goods. His name is... We all call him Xiao An."
"Yes, it's Xiao An." Another person hurriedly said.
"Yes, it's Xiao An. He has been to Tianzi City many times. He is a nice guy, helpful and polite. I never thought he was a liar." A citizen who had been helped by Xiao An looked in disbelief.
"Xiao An?" Ye Zirou was a little confused. She tried hard to search for information about this name in her mind, but found that she had never heard of this person.
Just then, Long Yi and Long Er returned from outside, exhausted.
With an anxious look on their faces, they walked quickly to Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu and said respectfully, "Mr. Mo and Madam, we found out that a man named Xiao An was selling them a bead. I think there must be something wrong with the bead."
"Who is Xiao An? Have you found any detailed information?" Ye Zirou asked anxiously.
At this time, Long Er thought for a moment and then responded.
"Madam, I have met this man once before. When Wushuang and I were stopped outside the city gate and couldn't get in, he helped inform Long Yi, so we were able to get in."
"So it was him?" Long Yi also recalled it at this time, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.
"Do you know him?" Ye Zirou continued to ask.
"We didn't have much interaction. I just know that he was quite active in the city and the people liked him very much." Long Yi answered honestly.
"Find this person!" Ye Zirou ordered decisively, her eyes revealing firm determination.
"Yes!"
Long Yi and Long Er responded in unison, then quickly turned around and retreated.
Ye Zirou turned to face the people and spoke earnestly.
"Don't worry, I will not let this person off easily and will give you an explanation. But after this incident, I hope you will not be too trusting of outsiders or too greedy for cheap things. Only by staying vigilant at all times can we avoid similar things happening again."
After hearing what Ye Zirou said, everyone lowered their heads in shame. They regretted their credulity and greed for small gains.
"We understand. Thank you, Madam Mo." The people said in unison, their tone full of gratitude and respect for Ye Zirou.
"Okay, everyone, rest here for one night. If nothing unusual happens tomorrow, you can go home. As for the water in the well, I have already taken care of it, so you can drink it without worry."
"Thank you, Madam Mo!" the people said gratefully again.
After saying that, Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu looked at each other, then turned around and left the clinic, heading back to the Mo Mansion.
Mo Tianyu said: "I'm afraid Xiao An's matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface."
Ye Zirou nodded slightly, frowned slightly and said, "Indeed, he was able to cheat so easily in Tianzi City and make many people fall for him. Maybe there is someone behind the scenes directing him."
"Moreover, the time he chose to poison me was very clever, just when I was not in the city." Ye Zirou analyzed.
Mo Tianyu's eyes flashed with coldness, "No matter what, we must find him out."
After the two returned to the Mo Mansion, they immediately began to investigate Xiao An's whereabouts.
