Erliuzi's face was covered with tears and snot, and his expression was painful and desperate, and he kept chanting: "Sir, please spare me this time. I will definitely change my mind and become a new person in the future."
The woman's face was full of horror, tears rolled in her eyes, and her voice trembled and begged for mercy: "Please, let us go!"
She knelt on the ground, her body trembling constantly, her eyes filled with despair and prayer.
Xi Yu looked at the second-rate boy's appearance, his face calmed down a little, and said, "Get up first. If you really repent, I will deal with it as appropriate."
After hearing this, Erruizi raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude, and his voice trembled, "Thank you, thank you!"
The woman was as if she was granted a general amnesty and kowtowed a few times, and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you!"
On that day, Xi Yu came to Wang Xiaoer's house.
Wang Xiaoer was busy in the yard. When he saw Xi Yu coming, he quickly put down his work and greeted him.
Xi Yu looked solemn. Before Wang Xiaoer could speak, he said anxiously: "Waiter, I have something important to discuss with you."
Wang Xiaoer looked at Xi Yu's serious expression and felt a "knock" in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister, what happened? Look at you're so anxious."
Xi Yu pursed his lips tightly, looked at Wang Xiaoer with a firm look, and said in a low voice: "The crime of Zhenghe County Master there is no doubt. I have decided to behead them and show them to the public. I will execute them at the entrance of the village to rectify the atmosphere. I want you to preside over this matter."
Wang Xiaoer was startled, widened his eyes, then an angry look appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "These two evil thieves should have ended up like this long ago! Prime Minister, don't worry, I will fulfill my mission!"
Xi Yu patted Wang Xiaoer on the shoulder, her eyes full of trust, and said, "Waiter, this matter is of great importance. It must be done properly so that the people can uphold justice."
Wang Xiaoer nodded heavily and said, "Brother Xi, I understand that I will never let you down!"
At noon, the sun shone on the ground with no wind.
Xi Yu's face was cold and his eyes were as sharp as a torch. He stood in front of the crowd and said loudly: "Wang Xiaoer, you will preside over today. Behead this evil-doered magistrate of Lizhenghe County, and then do it at the entrance of the village, so that the villagers can see what the consequences of those who do evil things will end!"
When Wang Xiaoer heard this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, sir! I will fulfill my mission!"
Wang Xiaoer's face was full of seriousness, and fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, but he didn't care to wipe it.
Xi Yu's expression was serious and majestic behind his hands, and continued, "These two dog officials bully the people, and the fish in the countryside is hard tolerant! Today, I must give the villagers an explanation!" His voice was loud and echoed throughout the village, and the onlookers cheered.
Wang Xiaoer turned around and faced the escorted county magistrate Li Zhenghe County, glared at him, and scolded: "Your crimes are untolerable, and now is your end of the world!"
Li Zheng was so scared that his face was pale and his legs were weak. He kept begging for mercy: "Prime Minister, please spare me, the villain will never dare to do it again!"
The county magistrate pretended to be calm, but the fear in his eyes could not be concealed.
Wang Xiaoer snorted coldly: "It's too late to beg for mercy at this moment! The villagers are all watching, your evil deeds will be punished!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and prepared to carry out the beheading.
At this moment, a woman suddenly rushed out of the crowd, and she cried: "Sir, please spare the county magistrate. Although he was wrong, he was also confused for a moment!"
Xi Yu glared at him and said sternly: "I'm confused? How many people have suffered so many people? How can they forgive him?"
The woman collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoer shouted: "Don't plead for this evil thief, he deserves the crime!"
At this time, the county magistrate finally couldn't hold on, collapsed on the ground, murmured: "I regret it, I shouldn't have regretted it..."
Wang Xiaoer ignored it and shouted loudly: "The time has come, execution is carried out!"
The executioner raised his sword and fell, and the head of the county magistrate of Lizhenghe fell to the ground in an instant. The people cheered and applauded thunderously.
Xi Yu looked at the excited crowd and said loudly: "Friends, from now on, if anyone bullies the people, this will definitely end up like this!"
Wang Xiaoer also said excitedly: "Our life will get better and better!"
The crowd has not dissipated for a long time, and the light of justice shines at the entrance of this small village.
Next, Wang Xiaoer officially began to preside over the bridge construction. The construction site was busy and the migrant workers were working hard.
At this moment, Wang hurried to Wang Xiaoer's side. She looked anxious and shouted loudly: "Stop, stop!"
When Wang Xiaoer heard his mother's voice, he looked incredible. He quickly walked to his mother, frowned and asked, "Mother, why do you want everyone to stop? This project is tight!"
Wang said seriously, "Son, before starting work, you should pray to God and Buddha. Only in this way can you bless the bridge to smoothly and successfully achieve success."
Wang Xiaoer showed helplessness, but he didn't want to go against his mother's wishes, so he had to say, "Mother, we can't believe these."
Wang glared at Wang Xiaoer and said firmly: "No, you must follow it. This is the rule passed down by our ancestors and cannot be broken."
Wang Xiaoer sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, mother, then it's up to you."
So, Wang Xiaoer began to prepare for praying to God and worshiping Buddha according to his mother Wang's request.
He looked reluctant and muttered: "This is a waste of time and energy." But he didn't dare to stop the movements in his hands.
Wang, with a pious look on his face, carefully directing everyone to place the offerings, and muttering something.
Her eyes were focused and firm, as if doing so would really bring good luck to the bridge.
Wang Xiaoer looked at his mother's serious appearance and couldn't help but say, "Mother, even if you pray to God and Buddha, this bridge will eventually be repaired by our efforts and skills."
Wang gave him a blank look and said, "What do you know? If you have a sincere heart, you can't talk nonsense."
After the preparations were completed, Wang took Wang Xiaoer and knelt in front of the statue, kowtowed respectfully and prayed.
Although Wang Xiaoer didn't believe it very much, in order to reassure his mother, he still did it seriously.
After the prayer, Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, the construction can be started now. With the blessing of the gods, it will definitely be smooth."
Wang Xiaoer shook his head helplessly and stood up to call on the migrant workers to continue working, but he thought to repair the bridge quickly. It was proved that it was everyone's efforts rather than praying to God and Buddha.
Xi Yu soon learned about this storm.
At this moment, Xi Yu was drinking tea leisurely in the yard, and the sun shone on him, reflecting a piece of golden yellow.
Tuoba Yu walked in in a hurry, with dissatisfaction on her face and kept nagging: "This Wang family is really, there is no need to do this! Isn't this a waste of time?"
Xi Yu put down the teacup, frowned slightly, and said, "Don't be so impatient, listen to the specific situation first."
Tuoba Yu sat on the chair next to him with his hands on his chest, holding his hands in front of his chest, and said, "What else can happen? It's such an important thing to build a bridge, what's the use of doing this kind of praying to gods and worshiping Buddhas?"
Xi Yu took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Maybe Wang wants to pray for peace and smoothness out of kindness."
Tuoba Yu widened his eyes and raised his voice: "Good intention? This kind intention almost made a mistake!"
Xi Yu glanced at Tuoba Yu and said, "Okay, the matter has passed, let's see how the subsequent bridge repair progresses."
Tuoba Yu was still angry and stood up and paced back and forth in the yard, muttering: "This superstitious thing can really miss a big deal!"
Xi Yu shook his head slightly and chuckled, "Don't be impatient. Maybe this is just a long-term psychological sustenance for the people."
Tuoba Yu stopped, looked at Xi Yu, and said with a serious look: "Support? But what should I do if this sustenance affects the main business?"
Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu who was still complaining angrily, and felt that she had made a little exaggerated and did not want to argue with her about this matter again.
After saying that, Xi Yu ignored Tuoba Yu, picked up the tea cup again, and started drinking the tea leisurely, but there was a hint of boredom in his eyes.
When Tuoba Yu saw that Xi Yu stopped talking, he was still angry, but he couldn't say anything else, so he could only feel sulky.
Another late night came quietly. In the vast wilderness of the Xianbei, Hong Gang came here with a serious expression and sat around and conspired with several shepherds.
Among these shepherds, one of them is particularly capable, called Anqingli.
Hong Gang's eyes were firm and he lowered his voice and said, "We will prepare to take action in a few days!"
When Anqingli heard this, he frowned and said without hesitation: "No!"
When Hong Gang heard this, his eyes widened, and the blue veins on his forehead swelled up, and he shouted loudly: "Why not?"
Anqingli was not frightened by Hong Gang's anger. He looked calm and said calmly: "Brother Hong Gang, don't worry, I want to talk to you alone."
After saying that, he gave Hong Gang a meaningful look.
So the two came to a separate corner.
Hong Gang was still very angry. He hugged his hands in front of his chest, his face turned pale, his eyes were staring at An Qingli, and said gritting his teeth, "Why are you blocking me? Are you afraid?"
Anqingli was not too slow. He patted Hong Gang on the shoulder gently, his eyes were calm and firm, and he said slowly: "Brother Hong Gang, don't be so impulsive. Let me tell you slowly."
Hong Gang gasped, his chest fluctuated violently, and he roared: "I don't listen! I have been planning for a long time, how can I stop just by saying that!"
An Qingli frowned slightly, raised his voice and said, "Brother Hong, calm down first! How can you achieve great things when you are so impatient?"
When Hong Gang heard this, his body shook slightly, and the anger in his eyes gradually calmed down, but he still felt a little unwilling to do so and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, then you can tell me!"
An Qingli then breathed a sigh of relief, looked into the distance, and spoke slowly...
Hong Gang frowned tightly and listened to the other party's words with a gloomy face.
When he heard the key point, his tight face gradually showed signs of easing, and his face gradually became a little better.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Okay, I'll follow you."
An Qingli smiled slightly and comforted: "Just rest assured, I promise there will be no trouble."
Hong Gang looked up at An Qingli, his doubts in his eyes slightly reduced, but he still felt a little uneasy and said, "Then... OK, there must be no mistakes."
An Qingli nodded vigorously and looked at Hong Gang with bright eyes, as if he wanted to give him enough confidence with his own eyes.
Soon, Hong Gang rode his horse and left with dust, and the sound of horse hooves gradually drifted away in the night. Soon, he returned to the tent.
As soon as he entered the camp, Hong Gang saw Tuoba Tianlong not sleeping, but standing outside alone, looking up at the starry sky. Hong Gang quickly walked forward and asked with concern: "Captain, why haven't you rest yet?"
Tuoba Tianlong's eyes were deep, staring at the dazzling starry sky, his face was full of solemnity, and he slowly said, "I am considering the future of Xianbei. I am worried and can't sleep."
Hong Gang frowned slightly, looked at Tuoba Tianlong's slightly tired but still determined face, and said softly: "Chief, don't worry too much, there will always be a solution."
Tuoba Tianlong sighed and turned his head, his eyes showing firmness and persistence: "The future of Xianbei depends on me, how can I not worry?"
Hong Gang felt the heaviness in Tuoba Tianlong's words, nodded solemnly, and stopped talking.
Hong Gang stood quietly beside Tuoba Tianlong. After a long time, he whispered: "Chief, you have worked so hard that all the tribesmen see it. I believe that as long as we work together, the Xianbei will have a bright future."
Tuoba Tianlong nodded slightly, his eyes still looked into the distance, and murmured to himself: "I hope so, but the road ahead is long, I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles we have to go through."
His brows were frowning, and his expression was filled with worry.
Hong Gang clenched his fists and said firmly: "Chief, no matter what, I, Hong Gang, will follow you and go through fire and water, and do whatever you want!"
Tuoba Tianlong turned his head and looked at Hong Gang. A trace of emotion and relief flashed in his eyes. He reached out and patted Hong Gang on the shoulder: "Good brother, I feel at ease with you."
It was getting deeper at night, and the cool breeze blew by, and the figures of the two seemed to be more determined under the moonlight.
On the other side, Tuoba Yu and Xi Yu slept tightly together.
Tuoba Yu frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes were filled with worry. She turned over and faced Xi Yu and whispered: "Husband, I feel a little scared. What if someone comes to burn the house again?"
Xi Yu stretched out his hand and gently smoothed Tuoba Yu's frown brows. He looked at her with a gentle and firm look, and comforted softly: "You don't have to worry. With me here, you won't let such a thing happen again."
Tuoba Yu bit her lip, but her eyes were still filled with anxiety: "But..."
Xi Yu hugged Tuoba Yu in his arms, put his chin on her head, and said calmly: "Believe me, there is a secret guard here."
Tuoba Yu nodded gently in Xi Yu's arms, and his expression gradually relaxed a little, but his hands still unconsciously grabbed Xi Yu's clothes.
Xi Yu felt Tuoba Yu's uneasiness, patted her back gently, and said softly: "Sleep, have a good sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow."
Tuoba Yu raised his head slightly, looked at Xi Yu's eyes, and said with a hint of timidity: "You must guard me."
Xi Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't leave half a step."
Tuoba Yu then slowly closed her eyes, but her long eyelashes were still trembling slightly.
Xi Yu just hugged her quietly, her eyes never leaving for a moment.
After a while, Tuoba Yu's breathing gradually stabilized, and his hands slowly loosened Xi Yu's clothes.
Xi Yu carefully covered her with a quilt, kissed her gently on the forehead, and then closed her eyes, preparing to fall asleep with her.
On the other side, under the hazy sky, the temple where Ouyang Linlin is located is immersed in a heavy silence.
Today, the host Wuyou looked solemn, and with the help of a group of monks, he had just buried the old monk.
In the temple courtyard, a short tomb was piled up with newly turned dirt, and several bunches of white chrysanthemums were placed around them, swaying gently in the breeze.
On the ancient trees in the yard, a few crows were croaking, and the sound seemed particularly shrill in this quiet atmosphere.
Wuyou host put his hands together, lowered his eyebrows and recited scriptures silently. His face was covered with fatigue and sadness, his brows were frowning, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little deeper.
The entire temple was filled with a depressed atmosphere, and the cigarettes in the incense burner rose up, but they could not dispel the depressing atmosphere...
Xiaohong stayed alone in the room, feeling as depressed as the gloomy sky outside her classmates.
She paced back and forth in the house in annoyance, complaining in her heart: This damn temple is always trapped in such a ghost place!
Every day, I face the same old Buddha statues and the same dull bells, and life is lifeless.
The outside world is so wonderful, but I can only waste my time here. When will this boring day end?
The next morning, the sun shone into the house through the window lattice.
Xi Yu slowly opened his eyes, and Tuoba Yu next to him stretched and sat up.
Tuoba Yu blinked his sleepy eyes, with a look of expectation on his face and said, "Husband, let's get up and go out for a walk."
Xi Yu looked at her energetic appearance, smiled and nodded, and replied: "Okay."
After the two of them got it together, Tuoba Yu tilted his head, thought for a while and asked again: "Husband, should we go and see the situation of the bridge repair?"
Xi Yu frowned slightly and said with a confident look on his face: "No need. Since I have handed it to Wang Xiaoer, I must believe him. There is a saying that goes, don't doubt people if you use them."
Tuoba Yu pursed her lips and nodded thoughtfully, "Well, what you said makes sense."
At the same time, Xi Yu gently held Tuoba Yu's hand and said seriously: "Actually, if I go to the scene, some migrant workers might feel very nervous. Think about it, they were doing well, but once I went there, they felt pressure in their hearts and were prone to make mistakes."
