Chapter 552 The Cry of the Rich

A small town called Bei'an.
Chen Ping stood under the dilapidated eaves and looked at the rich shops in the town, with a resolute light flashing in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and turned to his younger brother Chen An and said, "Brother, we must do this and rob the rich. These rich people are accumulating wealth greedily, while we are struggling in poverty."
Chen An frowned, his face full of reluctance.
"Brother, is this really good? We will be in a lot of trouble."
Chen Ping clenched his fists tightly and his tone was firm.
"This is our only opportunity. Only in this way can we pay off our debts better."
Chen An hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
"Okay, brother, I believe in you."
As night fell, the streets of Bei'an Town were silent. Chen Ping and Chen An quietly approached a rich shop. Gorgeous lanterns hung at the door of the shop, illuminating the stone road in front of the door.
Chen Ping whispered to Chen An: "After you get in later, move quickly and try not to make any sound."
Chen An swallowed nervously.
"I got it, brother."
The two opened the door and entered the store. It was filled with precious goods and radiated a luxurious light. Chen Ping quickly picked up a bag full of gold coins, while Chen An looked around nervously.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Chen Ping's face changed.
"No, someone is here, hide!"
They hurriedly hid behind the shelves, their heartbeats quickly. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the lights in the store also lit up.
"Who is there?" A stern voice rang.
Chen Ping and Chen An held their breath and dared not make a sound. The footsteps echoed in the store, and then gradually faded away.
After waiting for a while, they finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were safe.
Chen Ping looked at the gold coin bag in his hand, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"We succeeded, brother. This money can help us change our lives."
However, Chen An's mood became heavier.
"Brother, is it really right for us to do this? Although we got some money, we hurt others."
Chen Ping was silent for a moment, then gently patted Chen An on the shoulder.
"Brother, this world is not fair. Why do we have to be so poor because they are so rich?"
Chen An thought about his brother's words, but his heart was still full of contradictions.
They left the shops of the rich and blended into the night. The streets of Bei'an town were still quiet, as if nothing had happened.
On this day, the sun was shining, and Xi Yu led a group of people into Bei'an City Gate in a mighty manner.
But the scene in front of them shocked them.
At the gate of the city, a group of people kneeled, their expressions of anxiety and despair.
Xi Yu was full of doubts, and he immediately signaled everyone to ask about the situation.
Zhao Yun jumped off the horse, walked towards the group of people, and asked gently: "What's going on? Why are you kneeling here?"
One of the wealthy businessmen raised their heads, eyes full of tears, "General, we are all merchants from Bei'an City. Recently, our shop was stolen and robbed, and some people even took our family as hostages and robbed many of our property. We heard that King Xi Yu passed by here and asked to make a decision for us!"
Xi Yu's face became serious. He looked at these poor wealthy businessmen and felt a sense of righteous indignation in his heart.
"Don't worry, since I, Xi Yu, will not sit idly by. Please tell me more details and I will do my best to help you get back what you have lost."
The wealthy businessmen were talking about their own experiences, and Xi Yu listened carefully and nodded from time to time to express his understanding.
At this time, the streets of Bei'an Town were filled with a tense atmosphere.
People stopped and watched, whispering. Xi Yu looked around and saw that the shops on both sides of the street were closed, as if they were afraid of being implicated.
Xi Yu comforted the wealthy businessmen, "Don't be afraid, I will find out the truth as soon as possible and bring the thieves to justice."
He turned to say, "Let's check the stolen shop first and look for clues."
A trace of doubt surged in Xi Yu's heart, and he looked at the wealthy businessmen with sharp eyes.
"Why don't you look for the local county magistrate?"
A wealthy businessman said angrily: "We have already reported the case to the county magistrate, but he always stammers. We suspect that he has taken the benefits of the thief!"
Xi Yu's face turned gloomy.
"If things really do, this person will definitely be severely punished!"
Afterwards, Xi Yu and several generals planned to stay in the inn.
At this time, a wealthy businessman named Qin suggested: "King, I have many empty rooms in my house. Why not stay in my place? You can live more comfortably."
Xi Yu thought about it and thought it was a good idea, "It would be fine if that's good, then it would be a blessing."
The wealthy businessman named Qin nodded with a smile.
"It is my honor to be able to serve the king."
So, Xi Yu and his group followed Qin Fushang to his mansion.
The Qin family mansion is spacious and elegant, with green trees and bustling flowers and plants in the garden. Xi Yu lived in a beautifully decorated room and felt a hint of tranquility.
At night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling in the Qin family's courtyard. Xi Yu stood in front of the window, thinking quietly about the clues of the case. He knew that it would take more time and effort to uncover this mystery.
The next morning, Xi Yu decided to go to the county government alone to find out the truth.
At the entrance of the county yamen, several yamen runners were chatting and laughing, and their voices echoed in the air, as if this was not an office place, but a noisy vegetable market.
Xi Yu looked at this scene and his anger gradually rose.
He walked forward and said seriously: "I want to meet the county magistrate and ask for important things."
One of the yamen runners glanced at him casually, "The county magistrate doesn't have time to receive you, you might as well go back quickly."
Xi Yu's voice was a little majestic.
"I came for the wealthy businessmen in Bei'an City. How could the county magistrate ignore their shops?"
Another yamen runner sneered.
"You are meddling in other people's business, so the county government will naturally deal with it."
Xi Yu's brows frowned tightly.
"You are the ones who neglect their duties! I must report this to the superiors."
Several yamen runners looked at each other, with a hint of disdain on their faces.
"Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, go and sue!"
Xi Yu was very angry, but he suppressed his anger.
"I will make you regret it."
Xi Yu called his secret guard and issued an order: "Let me teach a lesson for a few ungrateful yamen runners to let them know what responsibility is."
The secret guard took the order and left, appearing like a ghost.
Several yamen runners did not notice the danger approaching. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of them, causing a sense of fear to surge in their hearts.
"Who is it?" a yamen runner asked tremblingly.
The black shadow did not answer, but just took action quickly.
After a few fists and feet, the yamen runners lay on the ground and moaned. Their faces were filled with pain and fear, and they had no previous arrogance.
Xi Yu saw him walking into the county government with a swagger.
In the county yamen, the county magistrate was sitting in the study, hugging two beauties, looking leisurely and contented.
"Mr. County Magistrate, I'm so excited." Xi Yu's voice echoed in the study.
The county magistrate widened his eyes and looked at the strange man in front of him.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass the county government!" His voice was full of majesty.
Xi Yu smiled slightly.
"I'm here to ask for an explanation for the wealthy businessmen in Bei'an City."
The county magistrate was shocked. He did not expect that this stranger would know about the wealthy businessmen.
"How did you know about this?" His eyes became sharper.
Xi Yu said calmly: "I heard from the wealthy businessmen that their shop was robbed, but the county magistrate ignored it."
The county magistrate's face changed.
"What is your identity? Why do you ask me?" There was a hint of anger in his voice.
Xi Yu's mouth raised.
"I'm Xi Yu."
The county magistrate was shocked. He did not expect that the stranger in front of him was Xi Yu.
"You... are you King Xi Yu?" His tone became respectful.
Xi Yu nodded. "That's right, I came here to find out the truth and seek justice for the wealthy businessmen."
A hint of embarrassment appeared on the county magistrate's face.
"King, this is actually the matter..." He stopped talking.
Xi Yu saw the county magistrate’s thoughts.
"You don't have to worry, as long as you tell the truth, I won't make things difficult for you."
The county magistrate sighed.
"King, this is actually my negligence. I didn't expect that the thieves were so powerful that I was short of manpower and could not compete with them."
Xi Yu frowned.
"As a county magistrate, you should maintain peace in the area. If you cannot protect the people, how can you be worthy of this official uniform?"
The county magistrate lowered his head.
"What the king said is, the villain will try his best to make up for my mistakes."
It turned out that Chen Ping and Chen An had sex first, but later they also found out that they were addicted, so they started hiring people in order to gain more wealth.
Yesterday, the Chen Ping and his brothers returned to the inn and excitedly counted the money they had.
They looked at each other and saw the greed in each other's eyes.
Chen Ping lowered his voice and said to Chen An: "Brother, we are becoming more and more addicted to doing this kind of thing."
Chen An nodded.
"Yes, brother. But there are only two of us brothers, so our strength is still too thin."
Chen Ping smiled slightly.
"I have an idea, we can hire some people, give them money and let them help us do it."
Chen An's eyes lit up.
"Good idea, so that our strength will be even stronger."
At first, Chen An refused to do this.
But he has already gotten the sweetness now.
So he is now at ease to do this.
And this was long as his brother Chen Ping expected.
Chen Ping knew his younger brother, so he knew that he would agree in the end.
So they began to look for reliable people everywhere and bribe them with money.
Gradually, their team grew stronger and stronger, becoming the dominant of Bei'an City.
Xi Yu is like a county magistrate, with a cold look.
"Did you accept gifts from those people? So..."
The county magistrate lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xi Yu in front of him.
"Sir, young... I really didn't accept gifts from those people."
Xi Yu sneered.
"Hmph, do you think I will believe you?"
The county magistrate's face changed.
"Sir, I...I..." He hesitated, unable to say what was wrong.
Xi Yu started filming the table.
"As a county magistrate, you neglect your duties and indulge thieves. I think you don't want to do it anymore!"
The county magistrate was so scared that he fell to his knees on the ground.
"Good king, please spare me! I'm young... I know I'm wrong, I will definitely not do this again in the future."
Xi Yu pondered for a moment.
"Okay, since you have realized your mistake, I will give you another chance. If there is a next time, I will definitely be severely punished and not loaned!"
The county magistrate nodded quickly.
"Thank you, the king! Thank you, the king!" A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xi Yu stared at the county magistrate with a torch.
The county magistrate lowered his head, dared not look directly into Xi Yu's eyes, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xi Yu said coldly: "County Magistrate, this case has been delayed for too long. It must be solved within three days. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
The county magistrate trembled, but he still said with a tough bullet: "King, this case involves a lot and has few clues. Three days is too tight."
Xi Yu waved his hand impatiently and said, "I don't care if you have any difficulties, I just want the result. Don't worry, I will send some soldiers to help you, just do things boldly."
The county magistrate nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, the young man will do his best."
Xi Yu stood up and left.
The county magistrate behind him breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart became heavier.
At this time, the streets outside the county government office were bustling with people coming and going. Xi Yu stood at the entrance of the county government office, watching the lively scene, his heart was filled with worries.
The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and returned to the county yamen, and began to gather his subordinates' yamen runners and their lords to start an investigation.
He knew that these three days would be the most difficult three days in his life, but he also understood that only by solving this case can he keep his black hat and let the people live a peaceful life.
Xi Yu returned to the Qin family, his face was gloomy and his heart was filled with worries.
When Qin Fushang saw Xi Yu's face, he couldn't help but feel nervous and asked quickly: "King, what's the situation?"
Xi Yu took a deep breath and said, "I have found the county magistrate and ordered him to solve the case within three days."
The rich businessman of Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. The king has done his best to make our rich businessmen in Bei'an. The young man will express his gratitude to the king on behalf of all the rich businessmen in Bei'an."
Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "This is what I should do. However, I need to delay here for another three days."
Qin Fushang said: "Does the king have anything to do? The younger one will arrange everything for the king."
Xi Yu sighed and said, "I just miss my family. I'm delaying here for three days, so it's even late to get home."
Qin Fushang said: "It is really admirable for the sake of our Bei'an people. I believe that the king's family will definitely understand the king's difficulties."
Xi Yu nodded and said, "I hope so."
At this time, Xi Yu's heart was already home. He now knew that Liu Xie was at his home. If he couldn't go back for a long time, Liu Xie would probably miss him very much. The following are the novel clips generated based on your needs, which you can adjust according to the actual situation.
In fact, Liu Xie really missed Xi Yu very much.
On this day, he and Ouyang Linlin and others were playing cards again. Liu Xie said: "Ji Yu should be back, why haven't he returned yet?"
Ouyang Linlin was also a little worried: "Yes, I also think it's a bit strange. Logically speaking, it should have arrived."
Sun Shangxiang said: "Maybe something has been delayed on the road, such as rain or something."
Liu Xie felt sad in his heart, and he sighed: "As long as Xi Yu is not here, I always feel like a lonely ghost."
Ouyang Linlin comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, your husband will definitely come back. Just live here with you. This is your home, don't be polite."
Sun Shangxiang also said, "Yes, maybe he will arrive soon. Let's play cards first, don't think too much."
Liu Xie nodded and forced a smile: "Okay, let's continue playing cards."
They sat around the table and started a new round of card games. Although they were still playing cards, everyone's mind was no longer on the cards, and they were silently praying that Xi Yu could return safely.
On this day, Gan Mei was coaxing the child. She held the movie Ping'an for a few months and kept nagging: "Your father should be back soon."
The child knew nothing, just giggled, his eyes were bright and clear, like two twinkling stars.
Several maids saw that Gan Mei had difficulty holding the child, so they said that they could help him hold the child so that Mrs. Gan would not be too tired.
"Madam, you have been registering for a long time, so let's leave it to us."
But Gan Mei said, "It doesn't matter, I'm willing to hold the child." Her voice was gentle and firm, full of maternal love.
Gan Mei shook her eyes gently while holding the child, as if only children are the most important in this world.
At this time, the sun shines through the windows in the room, illuminating the child's smiling face and warming Ganmei's heart.
After a while, Gan Mei suddenly looked at a few maids.
"You guys have been following me recently, and you are at the age of talking about marriage, right?"
As soon as she said this, several maids immediately became shy and lowered their heads at the same time, and their movements were consistent, as if they had received professional training.
"Men are married when they are old, women are married when they are old. Why do you want to be shy? If you meet someone right, please tell me in time."
A maid immediately said, "No, madam, we will not get married, we are willing to serve you all our lives."
"What stupid things are you saying? How can you not get married? Don't say such things in the future."
Gan Mei also realized that once Xi Yu makes a difference in the future, all the family affairs will probably fall on him, and he must worry about such small things.
Only by doing all these small things can Xi Yu focus on handling some big things.
"Madam, we really haven't considered this issue yet. If we really meet the right person, we will tell you," said a maid quickly.
