When Zhao Yun said this, his voice trembled slightly, full of regret and self-blame.
Zhuge Liang gently put down the teacup and comforted him: "Zilong, don't blame yourself too much. There may be many variables in this, and it is not your fault."
He turned his eyes to Zhao Yun and said slowly: "Zilong, let's discuss some happy things."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun's resolute face moved slightly, and nodded in agreement: "What he said is extremely, it is better to find some fun to relieve his mood than to be so depressed."
On this day, Xi Yu finally arrived in Fangjun.
On the bustling streets, crowds were bustling with hawking sounds one after another.
Suddenly, a noise attracted his attention.
Not far ahead, a burly man was waving the stick in his hand and hitting a thin girl hard.
The girl was covered in tears and kept begging for mercy: "Master, please spare me, I will never dare to do it again!"
However, the man had no intention of stopping, and shouted viciously: "I must beat you to death today, so that you can have a better memory!"
There were many people around watching the fun, but no one dared to come forward to dissuade him. Xi Yu frowned, walked forward quickly, and shouted loudly: "Stop! How can you commit such a murder in broad daylight!"
The man glanced at Xi Yu and said disdainfully: "Who are you? Stop meddling in other people's business! This girl is from my house. If you make a mistake, you should be punished!"
Xi Yu looked sharp and said righteously: "Even if she is from your house, she shouldn't have done such a heavy hand. Everything has to be reasonable."
The man was frightened by Xi Yu's momentum, and the stick in his hand paused for a moment, but he still said stubbornly: "She stole valuables from my house and deserved punishment!"
At this time, the girl cried and shouted, "Master, I didn't steal it, I was wronged!"
Xi Yu had a judgment in his heart. He looked at the man and said, "This matter needs to be investigated clearly. How can we commit violence like this based on one-sided words? If it is really her fault, she should be dealt with according to the rules, but she should not be so careless."
The man told Xi Yu not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise he would kill him, and his tone was fierce and arrogant.
Xi Yu's eyes were firm and said loudly: "I'm going to take care of this matter!"
After hearing this, the man opened his eyes wide open, waved his fists and hit Xi Yu.
Xi Yu quickly turned sideways and shouted loudly: "Don't be impulsive! I am the Prime Minister!"
The man was stunned, then burst into laughter, the laughter was full of mockery and disdain: "If he was the prime minister, I would be the Jade Emperor!"
Many people around him laughed as they heard this. The laughter filled the air, as if it turned into invisible pressure and rushed towards Xi Yu.
But Xi Yu was not disturbed by this ridicule. He looked calm and said seriously again: "I am indeed the prime minister. I will deal with this matter fairly and will never favor it."
However, the laughter of the crowd continued, and they seemed to not believe him at all.
Seeing this, the girl was still frightened and pulled the corner of Xi Yu's clothes and said, "Sir, please leave quickly. The young man is just a servant, and he deserves to be killed by wrongfully."
Xi Yu patted the girl's hand with a firm look on her face and told her not to be afraid. He said loudly: "Don't be so despised by yourself. I will decide for you today!"
The girl's eyes were filled with tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "Sir, you have received your kindness with a little heart. It's not worth it for you to offend him for the sake of a little."
Xi Yu looked solemn and said seriously: "In this county, how can unfair things be allowed to be rampant! No matter what his power is, he must give an explanation."
At this moment, many thugs rushed over, all of whom showed fierce light on their faces, all of whom were the man.
When the man saw this, he suddenly felt energetic and shouted, "It's just right, get this nosy person away!"
When a few people heard about it, they were about to take action.
Xi Yu was not in a hurry, raised his token high and said loudly: "I am indeed the Prime Minister, who dares to act rashly!"
The token shone with a majestic light in the sun. Seeing this, the thugs stopped, looked at each other, and looked at each other with a look of panic on their faces.
The leading thug swallowed, and carefully approached and looked at the token. He was so scared that he fell to the ground: "Prime Minister, please spare me, young people don't know Mount Tai."
But the man forced himself to say that the token must be fake, and shouted with a stern voice: "The Prime Minister always hangs in front of him when he goes out. How could such a person be like this? He must be pretending, don't be afraid!"
After hearing this, several thugs hesitated, and their eyes wandered back and forth between the man and Xi Yu.
One of the bolder thugs approached the man and said in a low voice: "Master, if you are really the prime minister, we will cause a big disaster."
The man glared at him fiercely and cursed: "What are you afraid of! It's just fake."
However, the other thugs became increasingly unsure, whispering and whispering.
Xi Yu snorted coldly, his eyes were like a torch, and he glanced at everyone, and said sternly: "You dare to question the authenticity of my token. You are so brave! If you don't understand this matter today, where is the national law and how can you maintain justice!"
At this time, a thug put his lips on the man's ear and said a few words. After hearing this, the man laughed and pointed at Xi Yu and said, "I dare to pretend to be the prime minister. I really don't want to live anymore! I will report to the government and make great contributions!"
After saying that, the man selected a few thugs and said viciously: "You guys, go and report to the officials quickly, and there must be no mistakes!" The thugs took the order and hurriedly left.
Xi Yu looked at their backs, his expression still did not change, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of disdain: "Okay, I'll wait here to see what tricks you can do."
The girl was so anxious that she burst into tears. She grabbed Xi Yu's sleeve and said, "Sir, it's all bad for you. I've been irritating to you. Why don't you leave quickly."
Xi Yu gently patted the girl's hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, right and wrong will be decided by yourself."
The crowd around also began to talk, some were worried about Xi Yu, while others were waiting for the development of the situation with the mentality of watching the excitement.
At this moment, Xi Yu laughed loudly, the laughter was cheerful and confident.
The man frowned and asked him, "Why are you laughing at?"
Xi Yu stopped laughing, looked at the man with bright eyes, and said, "I laughed at you as stupid as you are. I'm still worried about how to prove your identity. Isn't it just right for you to find someone to report to the official?"
After hearing this, the man suddenly became panicked and thought to himself: Could it be that this person is really the prime minister?
But soon, he shook his head vigorously again, denied his thoughts, and pretended to be calm and said: "Hmph, don't bluff here, wait for the official to come, you will be nice!"
Xi Yu stood there calmly with his hands on his chest and said, "Then let's wait and see."
Time passed by minute by minute, the man became more and more restless, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Xi Yu still looked calm, and the crowd around him also quieted down. The air seemed to solidify. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the official officer.
Finally, the county magistrate rushed over.
As soon as he entered the crowd, he shouted angrily: "Bold madman!"
However, when his eyes fell on Xi Yu, he was stunned for a moment.
He had seen Xi Yu in the palace. At this moment, he carefully identified it and was shocked. He immediately knelt down and said tremblingly: "I don't know if it is the Prime Minister, so I deserve to die!"
Seeing that the county magistrate was like this, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered and he was stunned.
Xi Yu looked at the county magistrate with a expressionless face and said, "Get up, those who don't know are innocent. But what should you do if you are accused of such troublemakers?"
The county magistrate quickly stood up and replied respectfully: "The officials should be punished severely and will never tolerate them!"
The man collapsed to the ground in despair, begging for mercy incessantly.
Then, Xi Yu began to deal with the girl's affairs. The girl knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her rain, and kept kowtowing to Xi Yu, crying sadly: "Sir, you have to make the decision for yourself! The little woman was really wronged and didn't steal anything at all."
Xi Yu frowned, turned his head sharply to look at the man, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Come on the real trick!"
The man showed a flustered look on his face, his eyes were vague, and he said stutteringly: "Then just act like a maid and didn't steal it."
When Xi Yu heard this, he was furious and shouted loudly: "What does it mean to be a steal? Is there something unspeakable in it? Today's matter must be thoroughly investigated! If this girl is really wronged, do you think she can easily escape the blame?"
The man was frightened by Xi Yu's anger and trembled all over and said quickly: "Prime Minister calms down. It's a villain who is confused for a moment. This girl really didn't steal anything, it's a villain who saw it wrong."
Xi Yu snorted coldly: "Wrong read it? How can you be so simple! What is your intention to wrongly accuse a girl for no reason?"
The man sweated coldly and replied stammeringly: "Sir, villain... The villain has been in trouble recently and is in a bad mood, so he blames him randomly and asks you to spare your life."
Xi Yu looked like a torch, staring at the man and said, "Just just because he is irritated, he will arbitrarily accus others. If everyone is like you, what justice can there be in this world!"
At this time, the girl sobbed and said, "Sir, how can the little girl live in the future when he slanders the little girl like this?"
Xi Yu looked at the girl and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I will make the decision for you."
Then, Xi Yu turned to the man and said, "If you make such a mistake, you must make compensation, apologize to this girl in person, and give some compensation to make up for the grievances she suffered. Are you convinced?"
The man nodded repeatedly: "I'm convinced, the villain will do whatever he wants."
Then, Xi Yu had a serious expression and asked the county magistrate to handle the matter here, with unquestionable majesty in his eyes.
He hugged his chest with his hands and said solemnly: "Don't be negligent. You must deal with it properly and give me a satisfactory explanation. If there is any mistake, I will definitely not let you go!"
The county magistrate sweated coldly on his forehead, and he quickly bowed deeply and said in fear and fear: "Prime Minister, please rest assured. The subordinates must do their best and dare not slacken at all. They will handle this matter properly and will never let down their expectations."
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the county magistrate with a scrutiny, and then turned over to the horse.
The horse neighed, and he seemed to remember something, then turned to the county magistrate and said, "Don't think that the true nature is just a casual word, and the true nature will send someone to check it out. If the true nature finds that you are perfunctory, you should know the consequences."
The county magistrate trembled and responded respectfully again: "The subordinates dare not, they must do their best and dare not fool them at all."
Only then did Xi Yu wave his whip with confidence, and the horse galloped away, lifting a piece of dust.
The county magistrate looked at Xi Yu's back as he was gone, breathed a long sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He knew in his heart that if he couldn't handle it well this time, his black hat would be difficult to protect.
When he returned to the county government office, the county magistrate immediately summoned his subordinates and arranged the follow-up matters in detail.
While giving instructions, he secretly thought in his heart how to satisfy the Prime Minister.
Xi Yu rode a horse and galloped towards the palace. The guards in charge of the guards saw him from afar and rushed to where Liu Bei was to report: "General Liu, the Prime Minister is here."
When Liu Bei heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: "Is it because of the letter I submitted a few days ago?"
With such a nervous and expectant mood, Liu Bei did not dare to be negligent. He dressed up and immediately walked quickly towards the palace gate to greet him.
After a while, Xi Yu's figure appeared at the gate of the palace. Liu Bei smiled and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, please come and ask inside."
Xi Yu dismounted and nodded slightly.
Liu Bei hurriedly said, "The Prime Minister must have something important to come here?"
Xi Yu replied: "That's right."
After entering the palace, Liu Bei bent down respectfully and asked carefully: "Prime Minister, I don't know what you are doing this time? My subordinates are really frightened and can't really guess it."
Upon hearing this, a sneer appeared on Xi Yu's face, and looked at Liu Bei with a cold look, and said, "Hmph, Liu Bei, you sent someone to deliver a letter to me, don't you know why I came? Do you think I'm idle and just walk around? Don't you know anything about it?"
When Liu Bei heard this, he not only showed a slight fear on his face, but instead smiled. He hurriedly bowed deeply again and said excitedly: "Oh, Prime Minister! I have to come here in person. I am really flattered. It really makes me feel extremely sorry. I am very honored to be able to get your attention from Prime Minister!"
Xi Yu's face was gloomy and said with a heartache: "I just learned about Guan Yu, and I really didn't expect him to do such a thing! That hero would have committed such a confused act. I want to comfort the bullied palace maid and give her an explanation."
Liu Bei sighed and said helplessly: "Prime Minister, I am not hiding it. The palace maid later felt ashamed and had already found a brief look. As soon as this happened, the whole palace was filled with sighs."
Xi Yu snorted coldly, his eyes were as sharp as a torch, staring at Liu Bei tightly, and sneered in his heart: "Hmph, Liu Bei, the old fox, must have killed someone to silence him."
However, the mouth did not reveal a trace, but the face became more and more gloomy, and anger seemed to be about to burst out from his eyes, and he shouted angrily: "Come here, bring Guan Yu quickly!"
When Liu Bei heard this angry shout, his body trembled suddenly, and beads of sweat as big as beans on his forehead rolled down. He looked extremely frightened and responded hurriedly: "Yes, the Prime Minister calms down. I'm so young, I'll send someone to the prison cell!"
Xi Yu sat in the main seat of the palace, his face gloomy, his eyes stared at the door, and his fingers kept knocking on the handrail, making a "tuk-tuk" sound.
The atmosphere in the palace was so depressing that it was almost breathless.
After a while, Guan Yu was brought in in a embarrassed manner.
I saw that his hair was messy, his originally majestic armor was damaged in many places, and there were several scratches on his face.
As soon as he came in, he knelt heavily on the ground with a "thump", his head lowered deeply, and said, "Prime Minister, I will be guilty of my crime."
Xi Yu opened his eyes wide open, slapped the handrail suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Guan Yu, do you know what crime you have committed? As a general, you have done such a ridiculous thing, which has simply lost all the face of our army!"
Guan Yu's body trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with a hint of guilt: "Prime Minister, the general was confused for a moment, made a big mistake, and was willing to be punished.
Xi Yu still turned his back to Guan Yu, and after a moment of silence, he slowly asked, "Guan Yu, what did you think at that time? He did such a confused thing!"
Guan Yu raised his head, his face full of regret, and his voice trembled slightly, "Prime Minister, Mo Jiang was impulsive and was completely lost in his mind, so he made such a big mistake. Mo Jiang knew that his crime was unforgivable and was willing to stay here to sit in prison. Unfortunately, he could no longer serve the Prime Minister from now on, and he could no longer fight with the Prime Minister in the battlefield. Mo Jiang felt extremely guilty."
As he said that, he kowtowed to Xi Yu again, and his forehead hit the ground made a dull sound.
"Prime Minister, I will live up to your trust and expectations. I will be blamed for my death. I just want the Prime Minister to take care of my health." Guan Yu's voice was filled with despair and self-blame.
When Xi Yu heard Guan Yu's words, he was furious, his eyes widened, and he raised his feet and kicked Guan Yu like a storm.
Each kick was filled with anger. Guan Yu did not dare to dodge at all, so he could only grit his teeth and bear it silently. The painful expression on his originally resolute face was becoming more and more obvious, and beads of sweat as big as beans on his forehead rolled down.
When many of the little eunuchs around him saw this scene, they muttered in their hearts, thinking that Xi Yu was too ungraceful, and the dignified prime minister was so out of control.
They all lowered their heads and didn't dare to show off, but their eyes revealed their sympathy for Guan Yu and their confusion about Xi Yu's behavior.
However, Xi Yu seemed to be addicted to kicking, and still kept kicking Guan Yu without any intention of stopping.
His movements became more and more intense, and he kept cursing: "You, a ungrateful thing, have made such a big mistake, and you dare to speak so frankly!"
The angry look made people frightened, as if they had lost all their reason.
Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to mercy and said, "Stop the anger of Prime Minister, stop being angry! General Guan has already realized his mistake. I hope the Prime Minister will be happy about his past achievements and let him go this time."
