Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu lived in this slightly simple place. Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu with a hint of apology in his eyes and asked softly: "Yu'er, this accommodation environment is not good, are you still happy?"
Tuoba Yu smiled slightly, and her smile was as bright as the warm spring sun. She looked at Xi Yu with a firm and gentle look, and said in a sweet voice: "Husband, I'm fine. As long as I can be with you, there will be no suffering in this world that I can't eat."
When Xi Yu heard this, he was moved. He reached out and hugged Tuoba Yu in his arms, and said affectionately: "Yu'er, it's my blessing to have you like this."
Tuoba Yu leaned his head against Xi Yu's chest, his face filled with a happy expression, and said softly: "I will have no regrets in this life if I can be with you."
Xi Yu suddenly sneezes loudly without warning. He rubbed his nose, frowned and said, "It must be Ouyang Linlin complaining about me."
Tuoba Yu looked puzzled, with curiosity in her beautiful eyes, and she asked quickly: "Husband, why do you say that?"
Xi Yu smiled slightly and explained patiently: "Yu'er, people in the Central Plains have always said that sneezing is missing and complaining. When I suddenly sneezed, I think it must be Ouyang Linlin who was thinking about me."
Tuoba Yu nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "So that's the case, these statements from Central Plains are interesting."
But then, Tuoba Yu raised his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a little smugness: "Husband, even if you complain, Ouyang Linlin is complaining about herself. She stayed alone in the empty room, so how could she be with her husband at all times? I feel extremely happy."
After saying that, her face was filled with a sweet smile, her eyes were filled with satisfaction and attachment, and her hands tightly held Xi Yu's arm.
Then, the two of them hugged each other and fell asleep, with a faint smile on their faces.
After a while, several black shadows appeared near the house like ghosts.
One of them lowered his voice and said viciously: "It's here, do it!" The others nodded one after another, and several people whispered.
"Move quickly, don't make any mistakes!"
"Don't worry, we will benefit after things are done."
Then they began to light torches and prepared to burn the house.
At this moment, a group of well-trained secret guards came out like lightning.
"Who is this? How dare you be so arrogant here!" The leader of the secret guard shouted angrily, his voice cold and majestic.
This sudden situation scared the people, their faces were pale and extremely frightened.
"No, run!" One of them shouted in panic, threw down the torch and left in a hurry.
"Don't let them run away! Chase!" The secret guard leader gave the order, and everyone quickly chased after him.
The secret guards finally caught up with several people. They were all strong and quickly surrounded the people who were trying to set fire.
Inside the room, Tuoba Yu finally woke up from her sleep. She looked pale, her eyes were full of panic, and she asked Xi Yu in a trembling voice: "Husband, have you heard any movement? I always feel uneasy."
Xi Yu sat up, patted Tuoba Yu's hand gently, and said calmly: "Don't be afraid of Yu'er, don't worry, anyway, there is a secret guard here, so there will be no major problems."
Tuoba Yu grabbed Xi Yu's sleeve tightly, frowned, and said worriedly: "But the movement is so big, I still can't rest assured."
Xi Yu took Tuoba Yu into his arms and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, the secret guards are all well-trained people, so they will definitely be able to handle it."
Just then, outside the door.
The leader of the secret guard came to report: "You report to the Prime Minister, all the arsonists have been arrested."
Xi Yu nodded slightly and asked with a serious expression: "Do you know who is instructing me?"
The leader of the secret guard bowed his head and replied: "The subordinates are interrogating, and I believe there will be a result soon."
Tuoba Yu raised his head from Xi Yu's arms and said with lingering fear: "Husband, this matter is not simple, we have to be careful."
Xi Yu looked firm and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely protect you."
Xi Yu looked cold and said to the leader of the secret guard: "Be sure to interrogate carefully, be sure to find out the commander behind the scenes, and do not slack off at all."
The leader of the secret guard respectfully clasped his fists and took the order: "Yes, sir!" and then turned around and left.
On the other side, Wang Xiaoer tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep anymore. It turned out that in the evening, many relatives came to his house and filled his yard.
A flattering relative came to Wang Xiaoer and said with a smile: "Waiter, I heard that you have become a master now, you are really promising!"
Another relative hurriedly answered the conversation and said anxiously: "Waiter, we all know that you are in charge of the money for bridge repair, so why not give us some of the money to deal with us. We will make up for it when we have money." As he said that, his eyes stared at Wang Xiaoer.
Wang Xiaoer widened his eyes, raised his voice and said, "The money for the bridge repair cannot be moved! This is a big deal about everyone's travel, I can't do it randomly!"
Several relatives were also displeased when they heard Wang Xiaoer's words. One of them looked gloomy, frowned, and said angrily: "Wang Xiaoer, we all helped the Wang family when there was something wrong with us. How can you break the bridge now?"
Another relative also agreed, put his hands on his hips and opened his eyes wide open: "That's right, you can't forget your roots! We have difficulties now, so can't you pull it?"
Wang was standing aside, with a look of dismay, pulled Wang Xiaoer's sleeve and whispered: "Son, the relatives are right, why don't you listen to them."
Wang Xiaoer looked firm and looked straight at his relatives and said loudly: "Mom, the money for the bridge repair cannot be moved! I have not forgotten the kindness of the relatives, but these are two different things."
The relatives were immediately in anger and accused Wang Xiaoer of all the talk.
At this time, an older relative walked up with a serious expression and a heavy tone, "Waiter, we are all real relatives. Could it be that you will not help with this? If you do this, how can your relatives move around in the future?"
Wang Xiaoer's face was flushed with anxiety, and his forehead was bulging, and he argued loudly: "Dear relatives, it's not that I don't help. The money for the bridge repair is public funds, and embezzling public funds is a crime! I can't do illegal things because of my personal affair!"
When the relatives heard this, they were speechless for a moment, but their faces were still filled with indignation.
Wang looked at his son and relatives, and was in a dilemma. Tears were rolling in his eyes and said with a sob: "What should I do? It's not easy to offend both sides."
Wang Xiaoer took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said in a slowed down his tone: "Relatives, I, Wang Xiaoer, are not ungrateful people. When there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay everyone's kindness. But the money for the bridge repair is really untouchable."
However, the relatives did not buy it and were still complaining.
The whole yard was filled with noise and disputes, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoer was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
He opened his eyes and looked at the dark roof, thinking in his heart: I must tell the Prime Minister tomorrow that he will not be a regular person and take back the money. He really doesn't want to offend people because of this.
The next morning, Wang Xiaoer got up early and saw his mother Wang sitting in the main room in a daze.
He walked forward and shouted softly: "Mom."
Wang slowly raised his head, with a hint of guilt in his eyes, and said, "Woman, I was so excited last night. Later, I thought about it and I really shouldn't advise you to embezzle public funds. This is illegal. I can't push you on the wrong path."
Wang Xiaoer looked at his mother, with a hint of relief on his face and said, "Mom, it's good that you can figure it out. My son doesn't want to do anything against his conscience."
Wang sighed, took Wang Xiaoer's hand, and said, "Son, it's my mother who is confused. She only thinks about the love between relatives, and almost harms you."
Wang Xiaoer patted his mother's hand and comforted him: "Mom, it's okay, we have to think more about what we do in the future."
Wang nodded, with a trace of worry in his eyes and said, "Then you are not doing this here, what can you do in the future? Those relatives may be going to say something else."
Wang Xiaoer looked firm and straightened his back and said, "Mom, we are doing well and sitting upright, not afraid of them saying this. If we don't take it seriously, I can still live on my own ability, just have a clear conscience."
Seeing his son so determined, Wang gradually smiled on his face and said, "Okay, okay, my son has such backbone, I'm relieved."
At this time, Wang Xiaoer turned around and was about to go out and said, "Mom, I'll go and find the Prime Minister to explain the matter clearly."
Wang reminded: "Go and go back quickly, be careful on the way."
Wang Xiaoer responded and walked out the door with great strides.
At the place where Xi Yu lives, the secret guard knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the trial has been clear."
Xi Yu sat on the chair, leaned forward slightly, and asked with a serious expression: "Tell me quickly, who is instructing me?"
The secret guard raised his head and replied firmly: "Sir, these people who burned the house are from the neighboring village. They were instructed by a person in the village. This person has a nickname called Erruizi."
Xi Yu frowned, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Why did these second-rate men instruct them to do such evil things?"
The secret guard continued: "According to their explanation, you seem to have had a relationship with the second-rate boy, but the specific details need to be investigated further."
Xi Yu snorted coldly, held the handrail tightly with both hands, and said, "Continue to investigate, you must find out the truth!"
The secret guard responded and said, "Yes, sir! I will do it now!" After that, the secret guard stood up and hurriedly left.
After a while, Wang Xiaoer rushed over. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Xi Yu's face was gloomy and terrible, and he couldn't help but feel a little "splied".
Wang Xiaoer asked carefully: "Sir, your face looks so ugly, what's going on?"
Xi Yu frowned, his eyes were filled with anger, and he said, "I wanted to burn my house last night, so I was so bold!"
Wang Xiaoer widened his eyes, his face full of shock, and his voice unconsciously raised a little: "Ah? There is such a thing! Sir, who is so bold?"
Xi Yu took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said: "According to the secret guard's interrogation, it was done by several people from the neighboring village, and behind the scenes was a guy nicknamed Erruizi in the village."
Wang Xiaoer frowned and looked puzzled: "Second Robber? Sir, do you know why these second orders did such a crazy thing?"
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a serious expression: "The secret guards have already made them investigate in depth, and we must find out the reason behind this scene."
Wang Xiaoer was so angry that his face turned red, he clenched his fists with both hands, and said loudly: "These people are too lawless. Sir, you must punish them severely!"
Xi Yu looked at Wang Xiaoer's angry look, his face calmed down, and asked, "You are here in a hurry today, what's wrong?"
Wang Xiaoer said with a helpless look on his face and dejectedly: "Sir, yesterday a group of relatives came to me to borrow money and even had the idea of ​​repairing the bridge public funds. I really couldn't handle it. I didn't want to do it here anymore."
After hearing this, Xi Yu couldn't help but raise his head and laughed, saying, "Haha, I think it's a big deal, it's just a small thing worth your resignation? Just do it boldly, and I'll support you!"
Wang Xiaoer raised his head, his eyes full of hesitation, and said, "Sir, this..."
Xi Yu patted Wang Xiaoer on the shoulder, and encouraged with a firm look: "Don't be afraid, as long as you act correctly and sit upright, you don't have to pay attention to those unreasonable requests."
After hearing Xi Yu's words, Wang Xiaoer still hesitated a little on his face. He bit his lip and said, "Sir, those are all relatives. If I refuse, I will probably not be able to meet in the future."
Xi Yu curled his smile, looked at him with a serious expression, and said, "Waiter, if they really think about you, they would not make such unreasonable requests. If you violate the principles because of their persecution, that is the real loss."
Wang Xiaoer frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he seemed to have made a great decision and said, "Sir, you are right. I can't be confused because of them."
Xi Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right. You should relax and do things without having to worry too much."
Wang Xiaoer bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice, then I will go back to deal with this matter now."
Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "Go, remember, don't lose your true heart."
Wang Xiaoer responded, turned around and left, his pace became much stronger than when he was here.
After a while, the secret guard arrived with the second-rate man.
The second-rate boy's face turned pale, his eyes were filled with fear and panic, and he was trembling and looked out of control.
The secret guard threw the second-rate boy to the ground with a cold look on his face, scolding him: "Be honest!"
The second-rate boy said "Ouch" and fell a dog to bite the mud. He lay on the ground in a mess, raised his head to look at Xi Yu, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, please spare your life! The young man knows he is wrong!"
Xi Yu looked like a torch, staring at the second-rate boy tightly, and said sternly: "Say! Why did you instruct others to burn my house?"
The second-rate boy was so scared that he was shocked and replied stutteringly: "Big... Sir, I'm so confused for a moment, and I'm obsessed with it!"
Xi Yu's face was gloomy and he shouted angrily: "Take it!"
The secret guard got the order and immediately punched and kicked the second-rate boy.
Second Rookie rolled on the ground with her head in her arms, screaming repeatedly, "Oh, stop hitting, stop hitting!"
After the second-rate boy's nose and face were swollen, Xi Yu said coldly: "Say! Why?"
Second liuzi gasped, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and said with a sad face: "Sir, I said, I said! I am making a frustrated voice for Li Zheng. Although the whole village hates Li Zheng, I like Li Zheng. Because Li Zheng has helped me a lot!"
Xi Yu frowned and asked in confusion: "How did Li Zheng help you? Come on the real trick!"
The second-rate boy endured the pain and said intermittently: "I...I made a mistake before, and the wife was helping me plead with the village chief and borrowed money to overcome the difficulties. So I...I want to vent his anger for him."
After saying that, the second-rate boy looked at Xi Yu pitifully, his eyes full of begging.
Xi Yu sneered, his eyes full of disdain, and he mocked: "Hmph, because of this, it's worth burning my house? It's ridiculous!"
At this moment, a woman ran in crazily. Her hair was messy and her face was covered in tears. She knelt down for Xi Yu with a "thump" and begged with a crying voice: "Sir, please forgive my brother. He was confused for a moment and made a big mistake. I kowtowed to you!"
As he said that, he kept kowtowing, and his forehead soon became red and swollen.
Xi Yu frowned, looked at her coldly and said, "Are you up and talk, he committed such a crime, how could you just plead for a few words of mercy?"
The woman raised her head, looked at Xi Yu with tears in her eyes, and said with a sob: "Sir, my brother has been reckless and impulsive since he was a child, and he is not in a bad state, so he is very proud and give him a chance to reform."
The second-rate boy looked surprised, stared at his sister with wide eyes and said, "Sister, why are you here?"
The woman looked angry and glared at the second-rate boy fiercely, saying, "You are a ungrateful thing, you shouldn't be doing things for it. He is not a good person at all!"
The second-rate boy was even more puzzled and frowned and said, "Sister, you always made me flatter and flatter, why do you say that now?"
The woman started crying, her body trembled constantly, and her voice was filled with despair and grief.
"I was constantly invading me in the past, and he was not a good thing at all! If it weren't for our family, how could I let you curry favor with him!"
Second Rookie was shocked, his eyes widened, unable to believe his ears.
"What? Sister, are you saying true?"
The woman nodded, tears slid down her cheeks.
"It's true. He has been threatening me all the time. If I don't obey him, he will be against our family. In order to protect you and our family, I can only endure his invasion."
Second Rook's face became very ugly. His fists were tightly clenched and he said angrily: "This bastard, I must make him pay the price."
Second Rookie looked regretful, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and he said loudly: "If I had known this, I would never have done anything for that beast! Sir, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
