Zhou Yu and others were still immersed in the joy of chatting and laughing.
After a while, the rain finally stopped. Zhou Yu asked the soldiers to open the door and smelled the air outside was so fresh.
Zhou Yu continued to smile, but suddenly his face darkened.
Because he saw that Mao Dacheng was gone in the yard.
"Hey, where did Mao Dacheng go?"
At this time, several soldiers looked outside and the yard was really empty.
Many people ran to the yard to see what happened. Mao Dacheng's body was tied and he could not escape from here.
But some soldiers said that maybe he could go out by jumping.
However, if that is true, there should be deep footprints on the ground.
So everyone started looking for footprints, but they really found footprints.
But it didn't seem like he was jumping away, which means he was rescued.
Zhou Yu shouted.
"It's outrageous. I actually got to know someone else's words."
Several soldiers were also upset. They really didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
Zhou Yu became anxious now and could not complete the mission of Xi Gong. What should I do?
Seeing the soldiers standing there, he said angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and search quickly?"
The soldiers began to search around quickly, but after searching for a long time, there was no result.
Zhou Yu was quite helpless, and his expression fluctuated on his face. In the end, he decided to go back first.
Xi Yu saw at the city gate that due to heavy rain, Chen Kuang had closed his eyes and probably had a cold.
So the soldiers took a look and it was true.
Gradually, after the rain, the sky cleared, and many people came to the streets to watch the fun again.
They also hoped that Mao Dacheng would come here quickly.
After a while, I saw Zhou Yu coming on a horse and a few soldiers.
Xi Yu saw Zhou Yu at the gate of the city, looking very depressed, and Mao Dacheng was not present.
He was stunned. Could it be that he had not found Mao Dacheng?
This should not be possible.
"Zhou Yu, what's going on?" Xi Yu shouted loudly.
Zhou Yu got off the horse and knelt down to Xi Yu in front of everyone, telling the story.
"What did you say, and actually let him run away?"
"The subordinates are guilty, please punish the subordinates."
At the same time, Zhou Yu took down all the armor and iron hat.
Xi Yu walked down from the city tower in anger, and then pointed at Zhou Yu angrily.
"Really, this little thing can't be done well. I've already caught someone, but I've let him run away."
Although Mao Dacheng can't make any troubles now, once he is letting him run away, who knows what kind of demon moth he has created?
Wouldn't the people suffer?
Many people also pointed at Zhou Yu.
But Xi Yu knew that Zhou Yu's attitude of pleading guilty was also very clear.
When Zhou Yu knelt down, many soldiers also knelt down.
Xi Yu waved his hand.
"Okay, get up, Zhou Yu, remember this matter first. In the future, you must find an opportunity to make up for the merits."
Zhou Yu's tears flowed down.
"Thank you for your love."
Xi Yu said to Chen Guo coldly: "It seems that this beast needs to live for a few more hours."
Xi Yu continued to ask Zhou Yu and others to go and find Mao Dacheng quickly.
Chen Qiang had already fallen into a coma, and Xi Yu asked the soldiers to wake him up quickly and then continued to torture him.
Not only did Zhou Yu and others go to find Mao Dacheng, but Xi Yu also asked the secret guards to go out, but they were not confident that they could find it smoothly.
At this moment, Mao Dacheng had been taken to an underground wine cellar by the man.
Wang Dacheng felt a little uncomfortable all over and even a little unconscious for a moment.
The man shook his body, and he opened his eyes slightly, and everything in front of him seemed to be blurred.
But he knew that he was rescued by someone, so he quickly asked, "Who are you?"
"Mao Dacheng, as an emperor, although you are not doing well, the good people complain. But I hope that the entire Fang County will still maintain orthodox status. No, it should not be called Fang County, it should be called Fang Guo."
"Thank you for saving me. As for who I am, you don't need to know. You should recover from my injuries for the time being. After the injuries are healed, I will let you out, but whether you can reset it depends on you."
Mao Dacheng nodded, and finally fell into a coma because he was exhausted.
At the same time, Xi Yu began to issue a reward announcement.
Anyone who can know Mao Dacheng's information and let the soldiers catch Mao Dacheng will be rewarded.
For a moment, this news spread throughout the county town of Fangjun.
In a tavern, two people were talking about this matter.
"Have you heard it? As long as you find Mao Dacheng, you can get rich."
"Of course I heard about this news, but how could we find it so smoothly in the prerequisite? So, don't daydream."
On the other side, in Youzhou, Xiaohong walked into Ouyang Linlin's room.
Seeing Ouyang Linlin still looked like she was reluctant to eat.
"Miss, are you still angry about the matter of Xi Gong?"
"Of course, we were already married, but now he has not returned yet."
"Miss, do you know? Something happened in Fangjun."
Ouyang Linlin knew nothing about this. He just knew that Xi Yu had gone to collect herbs for Gan Mei.
When Xiaohong went shopping today, she heard someone in the winery was talking about it, saying that Xi Yu had gone to Fangjun.
The well water in Fangjun was poisoned and countless people were killed or injured.
"Oh my God, why is this happening?"
At this moment, Ouyang Linlin's hatred for Xi Yu was completely gone.
"So, Miss, don't blame Ji Gong. After all, he is a good official. He pretends to be the people in his heart."
Ouyang Linlin also remembered that at first he misunderstood Xi Yu, but later he became a good impression of it because he loved the people as much as his son?
Although he won a lot of territory, which seemed to be for his own selfish desires, he did regard the local people as his relatives.
"So that's the case. If this is the case, it's okay to get married a few days later. However, this poisoned person is too despicable."
"Yes, Miss, although I don't understand these things, I heard everyone's comments, saying that it was Mao Dacheng, the emperor of Fang Kingdom, who probably had an important relationship with him."
After a while, the two girls heard a sound coming from outside.
"You're too stupid."
This is Ouyang Fu's voice.
They hurried to the window and looked at it. It turned out that the butler was learning to ride a bicycle in the yard, but ended up falling.
Ouyang Fu said: "I have been studying for several days, why are you so stupid?"
"Master, may it have something to do with my fat body?"
"It's simply nonsense. This one requires skills. What does it have to do with being fat and thin?"
Both women laughed.
Ouyang Linlin said: "Do you want to learn it too?"
Xiaohong shook her head, and she said she was particularly scared.
It was already dark, and Zhou Yu was back in disgrace.
It is said that Mao Dacheng's whereabouts were not found.
The secret guards also appeared. They said that they did not prevent the incident from Jingshui last time, and this time they hoped that Xi Yu would punish them.
But Xi Yu was extremely tolerant of the secret guards, and he said that they might find out about every corner.
Although this county is very small, it cannot be covered in every corner.
But Zhou Yu must be guilty, because at that time, he only cared about talking and laughing with the soldiers and let the big fish go.
Zhou Yu had no complaints about this either.
Let Xi Yu punish himself.
"Okay, I've said it, I'll write it down for you now. I'll make up for the merits when I have the chance."
As for the folk rewards, Xi Yu had no hope.
The next day, a morning passed, and no people came to provide clues.
Another day passed, and Xi Yu asked Liu Bei to tell the bad incident in Jingshui in the morning court.
If someone else is rude to the people, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Although Fangjun is no longer a country now, the daily morning court system still exists.
And the dragon throne was not changed, and Liu Bei sat on the upper end every day.
At this moment, no one noticed that there was a thick screen behind the dragon chaise.
Xi Yu sat upright on a chair behind the screen.
And this screen is also specially made.
It was Xi Yu who sat in imitating some glasses from his previous life.
Xi Yu could see everyone through the screen, but everyone could not see him.
Xi Yu was observing the expressions of each minister because he believed that if the mastermind behind it was really Mao Dacheng, there would probably be many people conspiring.
Among this group of ministers, there are inevitably people who are nostalgic about Mao Dacheng.
No matter how bad Mao Dacheng is, there will still be people who are in a similar scent to him.
Today, the reason why he arranged for Liu Bei to tell the incident of Jingshui was to elevate this sensitive topic to the surface.
This allows you to observe carefully.
After a while, he really made a discovery.
He felt that several ministers were quite suspicious.
After the morning court ended, Liu Bei and Xi Yu ate together.
Liu Bei said in fear.
"Mr. Xi, my subordinates have already told this in the morning court as you requested. I wonder if you have found anything?"
"Xuande, I'll ask you, have you noticed that something is wrong with it?"
Just as Liu Bei was about to speak, Xixi Yu waved his hand.
"We don't talk, but write our respective suspects on paper, how about it?"
Liu Bei nodded and quickly took the paper and pen. The two of them were very far apart, and then wrote all the doubts in their hearts on it.
After a while, the two of them checked, Liu Bei wrote three and Xi Yu wrote five.
Moreover, the three lists written by Liu Bei are completely on Xi Yu's list.
Liu Bei was surprised and said, "Mr. Xi, you should see more accurately."
"I just have some doubts, and I can't actually confirm it yet. But I can start with them."
Xi Yu specifically pointed to the three words Fang Zhongyuan written on the paper.
"I guess this matter has a lot to do with this person."
But Xi Yu told Liu Bei that this matter was silent for the time being.
"Mr. Xi, my subordinates understand."
In the past few days, Jingshui has returned to normal, and the people's resentment towards Xi Yu has finally been eliminated.
They now particularly hate the masterminds behind the scenes.
But Xi Yu believes that if this matter is not found out, he will not leave Fangjun.
He remembered the incident with Ouyang Linlin again. The days of getting married have passed, so he can only choose the auspicious day again.
Perhaps Ouyang Linlin will have some resentment towards herself, but he must not delay the affairs of the people for personal feelings.
While thinking, Zhou Yu came to the door with a very joyful face.
"Mr. Xi Gong, now his subordinates have made a new discovery."
"Come in and talk."
Zhou Yu said that Mao Dacheng was not found, but seeing a person in a tavern was probably the old Taoist priest that day.
Xi Yu's eyes lit up, which was also a surprise discovery.
Let Zhou Yu talk about what happened.
Zhou Yu said that a soldier had something happened at home some time ago, so he went home early.
Today, I was just over the holiday and went home, but I was hungry on the way, so I found a restaurant to have dinner.
An old man happened to be drinking in a corner and got drunk after a while.
The waiter asked him for money, but he refused to give it to him. He scolded the waiter, claiming that he was favored by Mao Dacheng. The consequences of offending him were unimaginable.
The old man beat the waiter and then prepared to leave.
The soldier took a decisive move, took a wooden stick, and injured the old man.
Then let the waiter control the old man for the time being.
He will come over again in a while.
The waiter of the shop is naturally very grateful to him.
The soldier said, "This old man may be the old Taoist priest. Because he once said that he would make money by just talking to Mao Dacheng. This is also a crazy saying after drinking, but at least it may prove that it is true."
Xi Yu was overjoyed and said to Zhou Yu: "Since that's the case, then take me there quickly."
At the same time, he told Zhou Yu that if this matter is done, it would be considered that Zhou Yu would make up for it.
Zhou Yu was very happy and immediately took Xi Yu to go there.
And the soldier was already waiting at the door of the palace.
Zhou Yu said, "Let's lead the way."
The soldier was also full of joy. If this matter really happened, then he would have shown his face in front of Xi Yu.
Soon, they arrived at the restaurant.
The waiter in the shop was filled with joy when he saw the soldiers coming back.
The soldiers immediately told him both Zhou Yu and Xi Yu's identities.
The soldier was startled and did not expect that such a noble person would come to this store.
He was excited and quickly knelt down and saluted.
Xi Yu told him that there was no need to be so polite, and now he wanted to see the old man quickly.
"Okay, please come with me, two nobles."
The waiter took them to a house in the backyard.
The old man was lying on the ground, and the waiter had already tied him up with a rope.
At this moment, the waiter kicked him hard, and finally woke the old man up.
He shivered at first, and finally realized that his body had been tied up with a rope.
"Hey, you guys let me go."
And by this time he had basically woken up and drunk.
The waiter said, "When will you pay for the money you owe us?"
When the old man was about to speak, he suddenly found that there were two strangers here.
He was suddenly stunned. He was drunk. Did he say something he shouldn't say?
Zhou Yu kicked him.
"Say, why don't you give someone money for alcohol?"
"Who are you two? Even if I don't give you money for alcohol, what does it have to do with you?"
Xi Yu said: "Tell him directly our identity."
Zhou Yu felt a little confused.
Why tell him the truth? In this case, wouldn’t he stop telling the truth because he was afraid?
Xi Yu probably knew what he was thinking, so he said, "It doesn't matter, just tell him directly."
When Zhou Yu told Xi Yu about his identity, the old man was so scared that he trembled.
But he immediately smiled,
"It turned out to be Mr. Xi, but Mr. Xi, I really didn't bring any money today. I will definitely send it to someone. I didn't expect that this little thing would be so touched by Mr. Xi."
"You are too confident and think that you should understand what you have done in your heart just for this little thing."
Now Xi Yu is not sure whether he is really that old Taoist priest.
But now we have to scare him.
Sure enough, the old man was a little unnatural and then showed a calm look.
"Mr. Xi, I don't understand what you said."
But Xi Yu asked the waiter to untie the rope on the old man's body.
The waiter had to do this.
Xi Yu said: "I advise you to tell me what you have done now."
The old man said that he was wronged and that he did not do anything.
"It seems that if you don't punish you well, you won't say it."
Xi Yu told Zhou Yu that he would put the old man on the street and then ask some people to come and see if everyone knew him.
After he said this, he felt a little panic on the old man's face.
When Zhou Yu went to catch the old man, the old man said, "Mr. Xi, what do you mean? Even if I don't give me money, you shouldn't be publicly humiliating me like this."
But Zhou Yu was like an eagle catching a chick, and he grabbed his body and went to the street.
The waiter felt inexplicably and asked Xi Yu, what was going on?
"Did you know that after something happened to Jingshui, some old Taoist priests had lobbyed on the streets?"
The soldier said that although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he seemed to have heard of it vaguely.
"Mr. Xi, is it possible that this old man is that old Taoist priest?"
"It is not completely confirmed yet, but there is this possibility, so we have to take this approach."
Zhou Yu asked the soldier who led the way to find some people.
I don't believe that no one knows him.
Xi Yu walked out and said, "Let him pour him to the city tower and let him and Chen Qiang be a companion."
Chapter completed!
