Wuyou's face was full of helplessness and confusion, and a trace of pain appeared in his eyes.
"Then we can't just sit there and wait for death!" The first monk was still relentless, "We must find a way to not let the master die in vain!"
His eyes were firm and persistent, as if he had made up his mind to seek justice for the old monk.
Wuyou frowned in pain, his voice full of helplessness and bitterness: "If this matter really spreads, it will indeed have a great impact on the reputation of the temple."
The other monks showed incredible expressions, and one of them said anxiously: "Senior Brother Wuyou, how could those assassins slander the abbot be true! This must be their conspiracy!"
Wuyou took a deep breath, his face full of struggle, and said in pain: "No, the abbot... has indeed done ridiculous things. He once told me personally. I really don't want to tell this secret, but now, it's impossible not to say it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other monks suddenly widened their eyes, their faces full of shock and shock.
A monk opened his mouth wide in shock and murmured: "How could this happen... How could this be possible..."
The other monk stood there, his eyes full of confusion and at a loss.
Wuyou looked solemn, and slowly raised her hand and waved her hand. Her voice was low and tired and said, "Okay, don't discuss this issue. Let's act according to the plan now and prepare for the funeral first."
After saying that, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes and he sighed softly.
The other monks looked at each other, with unfading astonishment and disbelief on their faces, but looking at Wuyou's determined expression, they had to respond helplessly.
A monk pursed his lips tightly, nodded slightly, and said with a sad expression: "Okay, Senior Brother Wuyou, let's listen to you."
The other monk lowered his head, his face full of loss, and muttered softly: "I didn't expect it to be like this, alas..."
Then, everyone turned around silently and began to prepare for the funeral. Everyone's steps seemed a little heavy.
Soon, the next day came, and Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu both woke up.
The morning light pours down like a golden veil through the thin clouds.
The sky is as blue as a gem, clear and lofty.
As soon as Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu walked to the door, they saw several servants standing there respectfully.
One of the servants stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said with a respectful smile on his face: "Prime Minister, we are waiting for the two of you here at the order of the county magistrate. The county magistrate invites you to go and have breakfast."
Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin followed the servants toward the dining place.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yugang walked into the house and saw that the county magistrate had been waiting there respectfully.
When they saw them coming in, the county magistrate hurriedly stepped forward, and knelt down with a "thump" sound, raised his head with a flattering face and asked, "Master, I wonder if I could have had a rest last night?"
His face was filled with flattering smiles, his eyes were filled with eager anticipation, and his body was trembling slightly, as if he was in great awe of the two of them.
Xi Yu said coldly: "It's okay to have a rest."
Then, he turned to look at Tuoba Yu, with a hint of unquestionable look in his eyes.
"Tuoba Yu, after dinner, you go back to the village and call the people from the village to officially conduct a trial of Li Zheng today."
Tuoba Yu nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, I understand." A trace of seriousness flashed across her face, as if she also realized the importance of this matter.
The county magistrate nodded repeatedly, laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, everything is up to the arrangements of the adults."
He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and became nervous in his heart, not knowing what the trial would be like.
When the county magistrate heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said flatteringly: "Oh, Prime Minister, how can you let your wife come here in person? Don't worry, the villain will send someone here now and will definitely call everyone in the village to ensure that it will be done properly."
He said as he was careful, his face full of flattery.
Xi Yu looked serious, looked at the county magistrate with a firm look, and said firmly: "No, I have to do this. Tuoba Yu went there in person so that the villagers could feel at ease."
His eyes revealed unquestionable majesty.
Tuoba Yu listened aside and instantly understood what Xi Yu meant.
The county magistrate opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Xi Yu's majestic expression, he had to swallow the words again, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
Wang Xiaoer came to the street.
He heard many villagers around him talking, so he leaned over and asked curiously: "What are you talking about? Is it the thing that is being captured? Really?"
A villager hurriedly replied, "Oh, yes, Wang Xiaoer, Li was really caught!"
When Wang Xiaoer heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his hands, and laughed: "Haha, I'll just say it! I've said that the couple is not ordinary people, and this time they will definitely be able to clean up the inside!"
He smiled so hard that his mouth was almost grinning at his ears, and his face was full of pride.
Another villager nodded and replied, "I really told you to be right. Wang Xiaoer, you have a great vision!"
Wang Xiaoer raised his head proudly and said with a gaze: "Of course, I, Wang Xiaoer, are very accurate in seeing people! The old man in his daily life is arguing, and now he has suffered retribution!"
As he said that, he rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he had seen that he was receiving the punishment he deserved.
At this moment, Tuoba Yu appeared on the street.
The villagers saw her at first sight, and their eyes were filled with surprise.
"Oh, that woman is here!" a villager shouted in surprise, and then many villagers rushed towards her.
Tuoba Yu looked at the enthusiastic villagers, and the frost on his face melted a little, revealing a gentle look.
A villager asked anxiously: "Madam, what's going on in Li Zheng?"
Tuoba Yu smiled slightly and said slowly: "Don't worry, everyone can go to the county government to watch the fun later, because the trial of the internal government is about to be held."
When the villagers heard this, they immediately cheered, their faces full of excitement and expectation.
"That's great! Finally, we're going to judge that bad guy!" a villager said excitedly, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Yes, yes, madam, thank you so much!" Another villager looked at Tuoba Yu with gratitude.
Tuoba Yu waved his hand gently and said, "This is what we should do, everyone, go and prepare."
After saying that, she turned around and left. The villagers began to talk excitedly and prepared to go to the county government.
Wang Xiaoer stood in the crowd with a proud look on his face. After hearing Tuoba Yu's words, his chin almost tilted to the sky.
Tuoba Yu looked at Wang Xiaoer's appearance, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Wang Xiaoer, you did a good job this time."
When Wang Xiaoer heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up like stars. He grinned and giggled, scratched his head and said, "Hehe, Madam has been awarded, this is what I should do."
His face was filled with a proud smile, as if he had done something amazing.
The villagers around also looked at Wang Xiaoer with admiration. Wang Xiaoer smiled even more happily, not to mention how happy he was.
Tuoba Yu couldn't help but smile when he looked at his innocent look, and then turned around to continue to arrange other things.
Wang Xiaoer was still immersed in joy and continued to be so stupid, as if he wanted to release all the joy in his heart.
The county magistrate came to the cell again in a hurry, his face full of tension and anxiety, and his steps were a little flustered.
When he came to Lizheng, the county magistrate lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Lizheng, don't forget what he said to you last night!" He stared at Lizheng tightly, his eyes full of warnings.
Sitting in a dark corner, his face was gloomy. After hearing the county magistrate's words, he raised his head and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "County magistrate, don't worry, since I have agreed, I will take all the responsibility, and I will not regret it."
There was a hint of determination on his face, as if he had made up his mind.
The county magistrate then breathed a little relieved, the nervous look on his face slightly eased, and he said, "That's good, that's good. As long as you do as we have agreed, you won't be able to treat your family badly in the future."
After saying that, he looked at Li Zheng with concern again, and then turned around and left in a hurry.
Li was watching the county magistrate's back as he left, and gritted his teeth hard, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
The county magistrate hurriedly walked out of the cell, with fine beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.
As soon as he came out, the county magistrate's wife ran over with anxiety on her face, grabbed the county magistrate's sleeve, and said nervously: "My eyelids have been jumping hard since just now. Maybe something big happened today!"
Her eyes were full of panic and her brows were frowning tightly.
The county magistrate was frightened by her so much, and his heart was also "suddenly" but he pretended to be calm and calm, "Madam, it's early in the morning, don't scare me here!"
He frowned, his face full of displeasure.
The county magistrate's wife refused to give in.
"I really feel that something is going to happen. This feeling is very strong. You can't take it seriously!" Her face was full of worry and uneasiness, and her eyes were staring at the county magistrate.
The county magistrate sighed helplessly and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't be suspicious here. What big things can happen? Don't scare yourself."
But he actually felt a little uneasy.
After a while, a group of villagers rushed in with noise, and the entrance to the lobby suddenly became noisy.
The county magistrate sorted out his clothes and walked to the desk with a serious expression, ready to start the trial of Li Zheng.
Xi Yu sat aside calmly, looking at all this expressionlessly, with deep and sharp eyes.
Although the villagers did not know Xi Yu's true identity, they secretly felt that he would preside over justice for them when they looked at his extraordinary demeanor.
The county magistrate coughed lightly and shouted majestically: "Sujing! Now start the trial of Li Zheng!"
The lobby was a little quieter.
After a while, Li Zheng was taken up by two yamen runners.
As soon as he saw the county magistrate, he immediately knelt down in panic, his body trembling slightly.
The county magistrate looked gloomy and said coldly: "Hmph, according to the Prime Minister's investigation results, Li Zheng, you dare to embezzle the funds from above and do not spend all the money on the bridge repair. Is this a matter?"
The county magistrate's eyes were as sharp as a torch, staring at Li Zheng tightly.
Li Zheng's face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead. He trembled and said, "Sir... please spare your life, little... little knows that he is wrong."
At this time, the villagers around were shocked. They suddenly realized that Xi Yu was actually the prime minister!
Wang Xiaoer widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, his mouth wide open, and he was shocked.
"So he is the prime minister!" a villager exclaimed in a low voice.
Then, as if they woke up from a dream, everyone knelt down at Xi Yu and shouted: "Master Prime Minister is wise!"
Their faces were full of awe.
Wang Xiaoer also knelt down quickly.
Xi Yu looked at the kneeling people, frowned slightly, with a hint of gentleness in his expression, and said loudly: "Everyone hurry up, and now pay attention to the matter in the judgment first, there is no need to salute."
His voice was calm and powerful, echoing clearly in the lobby.
After hearing this, everyone showed a look of gratitude and awe on their faces. They raised their heads and looked at Xi Yu with respect in their eyes.
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" a villager said hurriedly, then stood up carefully, with a little fear on his face.
The others also slowly got up, their movements a little restrained, as if they were afraid that their actions would offend Xi Yu.
When Wang Xiaoer got up, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Xi Yu, and secretly sighed in his heart about the majesty and demeanor of the Prime Minister.
Xi Yu's face was calm and his eyes fell on Li Zheng again, as if signaling everyone to focus on the trial.
At this time, the atmosphere in the lobby became particularly solemn, and everyone was quietly waiting for the continued trial.
Li was kneeling on the ground, full of fear and regret, and cried with tears: "Sir, the young are all confused for a while, please open your mouth!"
He kept kowtowing while talking, with red marks on his forehead, and his eyes were full of begging.
When the county magistrate heard this, his face turned red with anger. He widened his eyes and pointed at Lin Jing and said angrily: "You are so embarrassed to say! You did this and I am embarrassed too! As the county magistrate, I know nothing about this matter, and I am guilty of it! You are so annoying!"
He was so angry that he trembled all over, his lips trembled, and blue veins on his forehead swelled.
Li Zheng was frightened by the county magistrate's anger and almost collapsed to the ground. He said tremblingly: "Sir... the little one... the little one knows that he is wrong, please forgive me..."
The county magistrate snorted angrily, turned his head away, and his chest was fluttering violently, as if he was extremely angry.
The villagers around looked at this scene and all looked at Li Jing with contempt and secretly applauded in their hearts.
The villagers stood in the lobby, each with different expressions. They exchanged eyes with each other, and the eyes clearly revealed a sense of clarity.
Humph, this matter must be inseparable from the county magistrate, how could he be clean?
He must have embezzled money, otherwise Li Zheng would not be so bold, and would he really think everyone is a fool?
Everyone's eyes looked at the county magistrate, and sometimes looked at Xi Yu.
I don’t know if the Prime Minister is clear about the tricks here, I hope he can be aware of the truth.
Everyone's face was filled with a faint worry and expectation.
The county magistrate seemed to have a majestic expression, but in fact his eyes were a little erratic, and occasionally a hint of panic flashed through him.
He was up and down in his heart and thought to himself: These villagers would not notice anything, would it be bad if the prime minister knew it too.
He forced himself to calm down, but he could not hide his inner anxiety.
Xi Yu was still expressionless, which made people elusive about his thoughts, but his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
The villagers prayed in their hearts, hoping that the truth could be revealed and justice could be fulfilled.
When the county magistrate heard Li Jing confessing guilty, a hint of relief flashed across his face. He straightened his back and said loudly: "Since you have pleaded guilty, then start to accept legal sanctions now. Come and let him take a ban!"
As he said that, a hint of majesty and determination appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, Li's face was ashes, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, just about to go and write.
At this moment, Xi Yu, who had been silent, suddenly raised his hand to stop this behavior.
His face was still calm, but there was a little sharpness in his eyes. He slowly said, "Slowly. County Master, don't rush to let him pretend. Please ask him if there is a mastermind."
His voice was not loud, but he had an unquestionable power.
The county magistrate's face changed slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he soon recovered from calmness. He looked at Li Zheng reluctantly and asked with a gritted bullet, "Say, do you have any masterminds when you do these things?"
Li Zheng raised his head in horror, looked at the county magistrate, and then watched Xi Yu.
Li Zheng quickly shook his head and waved his hand, and said anxiously: "Sir, the little one really has no mastermind. The little one is just a moment of greed. Please let the little one be fooled!"
His face was full of anxiety and fear, and big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
After hearing Li Zheng's words, the county magistrate looked a little slow, then turned his head and said to Xi Yu gently with a hint of flattery expression: "Sir, since he said that, why not let him get the banned as soon as possible."
The county magistrate revealed a hint of luck in his eyes, as if he wanted to end the matter quickly.
Xi Yu frowned, his face suddenly became serious, and he said firmly: "Absolutely not!" His eyes were as sharp as eagle falcons, staring at the county magistrate and Li Zheng tightly.
When the villagers heard Xi Yu's words, they suddenly felt a sense of joy in their hearts.
The Prime Minister is indeed wise and will definitely not let this matter go easily.
Li Zheng's face turned paler in an instant, and his body trembled involuntarily.
His heart was filled with despair, not knowing what to do.
The county magistrate also looked dark, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he did not dare to show it in front of Xi Yu.
Chapter completed!
