The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Hesheli sat upright on the chair, looking a little serious, and said in a steady tone: "This matter is beneficial to us, so I naturally support doing this. However, it is really difficult to achieve the goal and obtain Xi Yu's birth date and time. After all, this is not an easy task, and there must be many difficulties and obstacles."

Smith stood aside, his hands behind his back, his face full of worry, and said in a low voice: "Indeed, this is indeed a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently. But don't worry, King. I will try my best to find a feasible solution."

Hesheli raised his head slightly and asked, "Then you should think about it quickly. What kind of solution can you come up with?"

Shi Daming's eyes wandered as he fell into deep thought. After a long while, he slowly said, "My mind is also in a mess right now. I haven't figured out a clear clue yet. I really don't know where to start."

Hearing this, Hesheli sighed softly, and the worry on his face became even more intense.

The whole problem comes back again.

After a while, Hesheli said that Shi Daming had worked hard and asked him to go back and rest first, so Shi Daming took his leave.

Soon, Xi Yu rushed out of the kitchen, his face flushed with anger and his eyes burning with rage.

"Don't eat anymore!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, and the sound was like thunderclap that exploded in the busy shop.

All the customers were startled by the sudden shout and all looked at Xi Yu.

The originally lively atmosphere in the store froze in an instant, as if time had stopped.

The shopkeeper heard the shout and hurried out from behind the counter. He frowned and came to Xi Yu with an unhappy look on his face. "What do you mean?"

Xi Yu sneered. He looked at the shopkeeper fearlessly and asked, "Shopkeeper, what do you mean? Don't you know what's going on?"

His eyes were like swords, piercing straight at the shopkeeper.

The air around seemed to be ignited by the tense atmosphere, and a storm seemed to be about to break out in this small shop.

The shopkeeper was a little flustered. Could it be that the human flesh incident had been discovered?

But how is this possible?
He pretended to be calm, so he said: "Today I must explain to you what is going on!"

At this time, a few customers who were unaware of what was going on started eating again.

Seeing this, Xi Yu hurriedly shouted, "Stop eating!" The customers looked confused, and one responded impatiently, "Why can't you tell me why we can't eat it? What's the matter with you making such a fuss?"

Xi Yu looked at them with a face full of anxiety: "There is something seriously wrong with the food in this store. It will be dangerous if you eat it!"

The shopkeeper sneered.

"Humph, you are just spreading rumors. Don't spread rumors here and ruin the reputation of our store."

The customers looked at the tense situation between the two and felt increasingly uneasy, all waiting for an answer.

At this time, Xi Yu began to explain.

"Because it's filled with human flesh!"

His voice echoed in the quiet store, and every word hit everyone's heart like a hammer.

At this moment, the store seemed to be in an uproar. Many people opened their eyes wide in shock, with expressions of fear and nausea on their faces, and some even started vomiting.

The shopkeeper was even more shocked. He really didn't understand how this person found out.

His eyes flickered in panic.

"You are slandering me! You are here to destroy the reputation of my store!" the shopkeeper shouted at the top of his lungs. He tried to make a final struggle, but his trembling voice betrayed his inner fear.

He stared at Xi Yu viciously, as if he wanted to eat him alive, but his legs unconsciously became weak.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the customers focused their eyes on the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper tried to calm himself down, then asked, "What evidence do you have to prove what you said about me? Don't try to accuse me with empty words."

Xi Yu sneered and said loudly: "If anyone doesn't believe it, you can go to the kitchen and take a look. There are still unprocessed stuffings in the pot, and there are bones under the stove that have not been destroyed in time. You will know it at a glance."

As soon as the words fell, the crowd exploded, with everyone's faces filled with fear and anger.

Many people rushed to the kitchen, wanting to find out what was going on.

Xi Yu's secret guard stayed here and continued to explain to the rest of the people: "My master is definitely not a person who speaks nonsense. Look, everyone..."

After a while, many angry people rushed out of the kitchen.

Their faces were either livid or pale. "It's true! There are traces of human death in it, those bones... the stuffing in the pot... it's horrible!"

Someone confirmed it loudly to the crowd, their voices changing in pitch due to fear.

At this moment, the whole scene was like a lit powder keg, and it immediately exploded.

Many people began to vomit frantically, as if they would not feel at ease until they vomited out everything they had just eaten.

There were even a few impulsive people who were about to rush over and attack the shopkeeper with red faces.

In the chaos, tables and chairs were knocked over, cups and plates were broken all over the floor, and the entire store fell into unprecedented chaos.

The shopkeeper was so anxious that veins popped out on his forehead. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone, there must be a misunderstanding. How could I do such a heinous thing? Someone must have deliberately framed me!"

But no one paid any attention to his explanation at this time. Angry crowds rushed into the kitchen one after another, wanting to confirm the horrifying scene with their own eyes.

After they returned from the kitchen one after another, the cursing became more and more intense, one wave higher than the other.

Someone said with regret and anger on his face: "I eat here often, and I usually think it tastes good. I didn't expect it to be made of human flesh. How can I eat anything from now on? It makes me feel disgusted just thinking about it!"

Some people became more and more angry and started to destroy things in the store. Tables and chairs were overturned, and the decorations on the wall were smashed to pieces. The sound of broken porcelain was endless.

Xi Yu looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, knowing that the anger and fear in everyone's hearts were difficult to contain, so he thought of letting everyone vent first.

After all, anyone who encounters such a terrible thing needs a process of emotional catharsis.

However, this once bustling little shop has now completely turned into an angry "battlefield".

There were still many people queuing outside, and when they heard what happened, they rushed in quickly.

Fortunately, there were a few new customers.

They felt very fortunate because they didn't have to come in and suffer.

Xi Yu frowned, his eyes full of majesty, and shouted: "Stop it!"

His voice exploded in the noisy crowd like a huge bell, and everyone finally woke up from their dream.

Many people had red eyes, a sign of being blinded by anger, and heavy breathing filled the air.

"We can't beat him arbitrarily. The crime committed by the shopkeeper should be severely punished by law. Anyone who doesn't obey is going against the government!"

Xi Yu's words were powerful.

The shopkeeper had already collapsed on the ground with fear, his crotch wet.

Xi Yu stretched out his hands and rubbed his face hard, and the carefully applied makeup became mottled under his actions.

He pulled hard, and the fake beard fell off, revealing his original handsome face.

"I am Xi Yu." He said loudly, his voice steady and majestic.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then their eyes popped and they fell to their knees.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted excitedly: "No wonder someone came to judge for us, it turned out to be the Prime Minister! Thank you, Prime Minister, for judging justice for us!"

This shout was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

More and more people followed suit, with various words of gratitude rising one after another.

Xi Yu raised his hand and waved it gently, signaling everyone to be quiet, and people slowly stopped talking. Looking at the shopkeeper again, he was completely slumped into a pile of mud.

He could never have imagined that his shameful deeds would be known to the prime minister.

Fear gripped his heart, and he crawled to Xi Yu, kowtowed desperately, and begged for mercy: "Prime Minister, my Lord, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please have mercy on me and forgive me this time. I swear I will never do such a heinous thing again!"

Xi Yu frowned, his eyes full of disgust, and snorted coldly: "Humph, you have committed such an unforgivable capital crime, and now you come to beg for mercy, isn't that wishful thinking? The law is strict, how can you blaspheme like this!"

Someone in the crowd shouted angrily, "This shopkeeper should be killed on the spot! Why is he begging for mercy now? He is just afraid of death. How can he really repent?"

This voice was like a fuse, instantly igniting the suppressed anger of the crowd. Everyone responded, staring at the shopkeeper with wide eyes, and shouts of killing rang out again.

Xi Yu immediately looked at Xi Shi and said seriously, "Xi Shi, go back to the mansion and send someone to arrest this criminal."

As he said this, he took out a token from his bosom and handed it to Xishi, "Take this, in case the county government refuses to recognize you."

Everyone then realized that this woman was actually from the Prime Minister's Mansion. For a moment, there was a little more awe in their eyes when they looked at Xi Shi, and all the hidden thoughts they had disappeared.

Song Meijiao frowned and said with disgust: "I don't want to stay in this disgusting place for a moment."

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said gently: "Then you two can go together, so that you can take care of each other on the way."

Xi Shi and Song Meijiao responded and left in a hurry together.

People from the county government office arrived quickly and took the shopkeeper away with him tied up.

But for these customers, their faces were still full of grief. The shopkeeper was taken away, but the hurt they had suffered was like a deep scar engraved in their hearts.

The shadow loomed like a dark cloud and lingered for a long time.

Xi Yu looked at everyone with pity in his eyes. He comforted them softly, "Don't be sad anymore. The evil man has been punished. No one will be persecuted by him anymore. Everyone should try to let it go and resume their lives."

Several soldiers saluted Xi Yu in unison. Xi Yu said solemnly, "You just need to conscientiously maintain the justice of the law. This is your mission."

After that, he ordered: "Seal up this shop, and don't leave any corner unopened. In addition, conduct a thorough investigation throughout Youzhou City to see where else there are such illegal food practices, and make sure to provide the people with a safe eating environment."

The soldiers took orders in unison and took quick action.

After returning home, Xi Yu sat at his desk with a serious look on his face. He picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "Food safety is related to people's livelihood."

He knew very well that what happened to the shopkeeper was not an isolated case and that the people must be alerted.

He wrote in the article: "Food is the most important thing for people, and food safety comes first. Recently, I saw a steamed bun shop being punished for food safety violations... The road to food safety requires our joint protection to ensure safety."

He hopes that this article in the newspaper can sound the alarm about food safety.

The steamed bun shop incident was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, which caused a thousand waves. It spread quickly among the people and caused a great sensation.

The news seemed to have wings and flew all over the streets and alleys.

Other restaurants were also affected. The lively scenes of the past are no longer there and there are few diners.

The owners of the small hotels all shouted at the captured shopkeeper: "What a bastard! He has ruined us all. Now no one dares to come to eat. How can we make a living?"

Under Xi Yu's strong leadership, the entire Youzhou City began to run at high speed like a precision machine, working hard to rectify safety issues.

He knew that it was not enough to solve the problem in one city. Therefore, Xi Yu issued a strict order that after the newspaper expounding on the food safety issue was published, it must be used as a warning by all parts of the country.

All localities should learn from Youzhou's rectification methods, and more importantly, understand how to prevent such problems from happening, and master the methods of identifying safety, so that the people can be protected from food safety issues.

When Shi Daming returned home, the house was quiet.

His woman just glanced at him calmly and said, "You're back." That was all.

Smith couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you curious about what I did this time?"

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes still on the needlework in her hands: "If you want to say it, you will say it naturally."

Shi Daming smiled helplessly and walked into the yard.

The warm sunlight shone on his body, but he had no intention of enjoying it.

The problem of how to obtain Xi Yu's birth date kept circling in his mind. His brows gradually furrowed, and the relaxed atmosphere just now was swept away, leaving only a heart full of calculations and worries.

That day, Xi Yu, dressed in a blue shirt and waving a fan, came to Song Shuwen's medical clinic leisurely.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw a huge crowd of people inside. The noise almost overturned the small clinic. Those people had fiery eyes, all vying to be Song Shuwen's apprentice.

Song Shuwen was seen standing in front of the hall, with a serious look on his face and eyes as sharp as an eagle. Every time he asked a test question, the examinees looked embarrassed.

The assessment continued, and many people left dejectedly, muttering complaints.

Xi Yu thought that this clinic had such strict screening and would surely become a great one in the future.

After this round of assessment, the results made Song Shuwen very angry. No one was able to catch his eye or meet his expectations of an apprentice.

He was so angry that his beard trembled slightly. He paced back and forth in front of the hall, muttering: "Young people nowadays are really getting worse with each generation!"

Time passed quietly in this tense and disappointing atmosphere, until the afterglow of dusk dyed the clinic a layer of golden color, and people coming to take the exam no longer pushed the door and entered.

The sign at the door clearly stated that no one would be received at this time.

Song Shuwen, who had been busy all day, only then noticed that Xiyu had been standing in the yard for a long time.

He hurried forward and bowed respectfully to Xi Yu: "I didn't know the Prime Minister was here. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."

Xi Yu smiled and waved the fan in his hand, his eyes full of casualness: "Divine Doctor Song, why should we be so polite? I just have nothing to do, so I came to see the fun."

As he spoke, he took a step forward to support Song Shuwen, with an even wider smile on his face, "Today's assessment really troubled you."

Song Shuwen sighed helplessly: "Alas, please forgive me, sir. I wanted to find a talented person to inherit my medical skills, but..."

As he said this, he looked in the direction of the departing candidates with regret in his eyes.

Xi Yu waved his fan and said slowly: "Song the Divine Doctor, your medical skills are as majestic as a mountain, beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is natural that you have high standards. However, such strict standards may make many unpolished gems covered in dust."

He frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Song Shuwen snorted.

"If you don't even have this ability, how can you inherit my medical skills?"

"Dr. Song, you are recruiting apprentices this time, not partners. Apprentices are like a blank sheet of paper. As long as they are humble and willing to learn, and have the spirit of hard work and perseverance, why worry about not being able to carve them into beautiful jade? If you can lower the standards a little and give more people opportunities, maybe there will be people among them who can carry forward your medical skills."

Song Shuwen frowned and looked hesitant.

"I'm just afraid that those people are just acting on impulse and have no perseverance."

Xiyu smiled.

"Dr. Song, you can observe slowly during the teaching process. If it is really a rotten wood, it is not too late to abandon it."

After hearing this, Song Shuwen fell into deep thought. Then a flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Your Excellency Prime Minister is right. It was me who got stuck in a dead end and caused you trouble. If it's as you said, I will lower my standards in a few days, and maybe I can really find someone who can be cultivated."

Xi Yu smiled and nodded, gently waving his fan, and said, "Divine Doctor, there is one more thing. This time when you accept a disciple, don't just accept one person. In my opinion, you need at least three or five. With more people, they can supervise and learn from each other. In this way, they can make faster progress and inspire more ideas in the exchange, which is of great benefit to the inheritance of medical skills."

Song Shuwen stroked his beard, with approval in his eyes.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister and I share the same idea. Studying with many people can create a competitive atmosphere and motivate them to make progress."

Then, Xi Yu saw that it was getting late, so he asked Song Shuwen to go back to the city mansion with him.

Song Shuwen nodded, packed up briefly, and headed towards the city's prime minister's residence with Xiyu. (End of this chapter)
