The matter in Zhuping County was almost done, so Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian decided to leave.
When the people learned that they were leaving, they rushed to the streets, their eyes full of reluctance.
They hope that Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian can stay here.
Xi Yu looked at these simple people and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said gently: "Everyone farms well and live well. I have to leave, and there are still many things waiting for me to do."
However, the people were not willing to let them leave just like this.
Many people knelt down and begged them to stay. They had tears in their eyes and said in a stern voice: "Sir, please stay! We cannot live without you."
At this time, the inside was walking out. He looked at the excited people and said loudly: "Don't make things difficult for the Prime Minister and the Lord. They must leave here and cannot be here forever. We should thank them for everything they have done for us, live a good life and live up to their expectations."
After hearing the correct words, the people were still reluctant to leave, but they also understood that they could not force Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian to stay.
They slowly stood up, looked at Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian with respectful eyes, and watched them gradually fade away.
Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian rode their horses and looked back at the people, their hearts filled with emotion.
Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian embark on a new journey.
Along the way, the scenery changed constantly, but their mood was still a little heavy, touched by the reluctance of the people.
Xi Yu looked into the distance and slowly spoke: "The people's requests are very simple. As long as they are kind to them, they will be particularly grateful."
His voice was filled with emotion, recalling the sincere faces of the people of Zhuping County.
Ouyang Lian rode his horse and walked with Xi Yu. He nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Remembering the Prime Minister's teachings, the subordinates will definitely do their best for the people."
Xi Yu turned his head to look at Ouyang Lian, with a look of relief in his eyes. "Officials should take the hearts of the people as their hearts. Only by truly seeking welfare for the people can they win their respect and love."
Ouyang Lian nodded silently and kept Xi Yu's words in mind.
Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian walked along the way, and before they knew it, they came to the familiar inn again.
The inn owner saw them coming from afar, and his face showed surprise and fear, and he quickly knelt down to salute.
Xi Yu raised his hand slightly and said in a calm tone: "You don't have to be polite, get up."
Ouyang Lian nodded and signaled the inn owner to get up.
The inn owner stood up and said with shame: "Two sirs, the villain was confused last time, and he actually wanted to attack the two sirs. I didn't expect you to come to the villain without grudges. The villain was really ashamed."
Xi Yu looked at the inn owner, without any reproach in his eyes. "No one can do anything wrong with a sage. It is enough for you to recognize your mistakes. Don't do anything confused again in the future."
Ouyang Lian also said: "You are magnanimous. You should cherish this tolerance, run the inn well, and provide convenience for passers-by."
The inn owner nodded repeatedly, and burst into tears of gratitude.
"Thank you for your teachings from both adults. The villain must remember it in his heart and reform himself."
Xi Yu looked at the inn owner and said seriously: "This time we came to tell you that we went to a certain village so that the people could have a variety of food and told them about the greenhouse technology."
The inn owner looked confused. Although he didn't understand it very much, from Xi Yu's words and expressions, he also understood that Xi Yu really did good things for the people.
His eyes showed admiration and said, "It is really admirable for the people to think about them wholeheartedly. This greenhouse technology will surely make the lives of the people better."
In order to express his debts, the inn owner said sincerely: "Two sirs, the villain will never charge you money this time. You have done so many good things for the people, and the villain really cannot repay you."
Xi Yu told him seriously: "No, do whatever you should do. We can't break the rules."
The inn owner saw that Xi Yu was firm in his attitude, so he couldn't hold on any longer.
He respected Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian even more in his heart, and secretly decided to be an upright and kind person like them in the future.
That night, Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian slept very sweetly in the inn.
Maybe it's because of the calmness in their hearts, or maybe it's because they know that everything they do makes sense.
The next day, the sun shone on the ground, and Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian continued to move forward with full energy.
Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian came to a remote intersection. The atmosphere was originally peaceful, but suddenly it was broken.
A masked man appeared with a big knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Dropping off the horse quickly!"
Xi Yu's eyes sterned and asked calmly: "Who are you?"
The man replied viciously: "The one who kills you."
After saying that, the man quickly threw a dart at Xi Yu.
At this critical moment, the secret guard immediately dispatched to block the dart like lightning.
They were quick to move and instantly grabbed the masked man. The masked man looked panicked, obviously he didn't expect someone to protect Xi Yu in the dark.
Xi Yu said coldly without fear, "Open this person's mask."
The secret guard took the order and quickly pulled off the masked man's face towel.
When the mask was revealed, Xi Yu was shocked. He never expected that the person in front of him was Lei Bo.
He frowned and asked, "How could it be you?"
The flames of hatred burned in Lei Bo's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I still avenge my father. I didn't succeed in revenge last time, but this time I must succeed."
"Lei Bo, I didn't do it on my own intention. Why are you so persistent in taking revenge?"
Lei Bo couldn't listen at all, and he roared angrily: "No matter what you say, I must avenge my father. Even if I fail today, I will not give up."
Ouyang Lian glared at Lei Bo and accused him angrily: "Lei Bo, you are simply crazy! The last time you assassinated the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister had let you go. I didn't expect you to do such a stupid thing again. Do you know what consequences your behavior will bring?"
Lei Bo turned his head away, his face still full of stubbornness and hatred. "I don't care what the consequences are, I just know that I want to avenge my father."
"You are blinded by hatred. The Prime Minister does everything for the country and the people, and your father's affairs are also of course. You are so obsessed with it, you will only put yourself in a place of doom."
Xi Yu waved his hand and signaled Ouyang Lian to be calm.
Xi Yu calmly commanded, letting one secret guard firmly control Lei Bo, and then called another secret guard to come.
The secret guard approached respectfully, and Xi Yu whispered a few softly in his ear.
The secret guard looked serious and quickly left after listening carefully.
Then, Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Lian and said, "Ouyang Lian, accompany me to walk around and come again later."
Ouyang Lian was full of doubts. He didn't know what the Prime Minister was going to do in this series of actions, but he nodded obediently.
The two of them dismounted and slowly paced around this remote place.
Ouyang Lian didn't dare to disturb him easily, but just stayed quietly by his side.
The breeze blew gently and the leaves rustled, as if telling an unknown story.
And Xi Yu's plan in his heart was like this mysterious atmosphere, which was unpredictable.
Although this remote place is rarely visited, it has a different scenery.
Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian walked away for a long time without realizing it. Ouyang Lian's doubts became stronger and stronger. Finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Prime Minister, how do you deal with Lei Bo?"
Xi Yu looked into the distance, looked calm and said lightly: "You will know in a while."
Ouyang Lian was even more curious, but he couldn't ask any more questions.
They continued walking, and the scenery around them continued to change, but Ouyang Lian's thoughts were all about Lei Bo's affairs.
He didn't understand what the Prime Minister had planned. Lei Bo assassinated twice and was punished according to the law, but the Prime Minister seemed to have other ideas.
After a while, Xi Yu felt that the time was almost over, so he took Ouyang Lian to the place where they stopped.
Lei Bo was firmly controlled by the secret guards, and the two secret guards stood by him with serious expressions.
Xi Yu looked at Lei Bo coldly and was silent for a moment.
Under this cold gaze, Lei Bo's heart became more and more panicked and suddenly began to beg for mercy: "Sir, I'm confused for a moment, I hope you let me go."
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a questioning tone: "Is it really just a moment of confusion?"
Lei Bo lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into Xi Yu's eyes.
He knew that his reasons were too far-fetched, but at this moment he could only hope for Xi Yu's kindness.
In the yard of Fang Dasao's house, Lei Bo was helping Fang Dasao pick vegetables.
The sun shines on them, and the picture is quiet and warm.
Lei Bo said while picking vegetables: "Mom, I'm leaving home tomorrow and I'm still going to do business in other places."
Mrs. Fang smiled kindly and said, "Just go, young people should go out and explore more."
However, this tranquility was quickly broken.
Suddenly, the secret guard arrived. His figure appeared at the door of the yard. His cold face and serious aura made Lei Bo and Fang Dasao feel nervous.
Lei Bo stood up, his eyes full of vigilance, not knowing what the arrival of the secret guard meant.
Mrs. Fang was also a little nervous.
The secret guard asked the mother and son to follow him in a serious tone, and Mrs. Fang and Lei Bo were both surprised.
Lei Bo frowned and asked, "Why did someone assassinate the Prime Minister?"
The secret guard replied expressionlessly: "That assassin is exactly the same as you."
Lei Bo was shocked again, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Mrs. Fang began to tremble, as if she had remembered something.
Lei Bo hurriedly supported his mother, full of doubts and worries. He didn't understand why someone exactly like him was going to assassinate the prime minister. What was the secret behind this?
The secret guards looked at the reaction of their mother and son, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes. They urged Lei Bo and Mrs. Fang to follow them quickly so that the truth could be found out as soon as possible.
Lei Bo had no choice but to comfort his mother and leave with the secret guards.
Along the way, various speculations kept popping up in his mind, and the anxiety in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Lei Bo looked at Mrs. Fang’s face was not good and asked with concern: “Mom, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Mrs. Fang shook her head slightly, forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, don't worry Bo'er."
Lei Bo's doubts were not gone, but seeing his mother saying this, it was hard to ask again.
He held Fang Dasao tightly and followed the secret guards to move forward, but he thought to himself why his mother's abnormal reaction was.
At this time, Mrs. Fang was in a numb state, and some uneasy scenes kept flashing in her mind, but she didn't know how to say to Lei Boyan.
The road was indeed not very far, and they soon arrived at the place where Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian were.
As soon as Mrs. Fang saw the assassin, her body suddenly trembled and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Although Lei Bo had known that someone was like him before, when he actually saw it, he still felt a strong shock in his heart.
The assassin did not expect Lei Bo and his son to come, and was also very surprised.
For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely solemn.
Lei Bo turned his head to look at his mother, wanting to get some answers from her, but he saw that his mother was crying and his heart was shattered.
The assassin's eyes also showed complex emotions, as if there were many things to say, but he didn't know where to start.
Ouyang Lian widened his eyes and was completely stunned. How could there be two thunder waves?
He looked at Xi Yu with an exploratory look, hoping that the Prime Minister could give an explanation.
At this time, Mrs. Fang could no longer suppress her inner grief and cried out loud.
Lei Bo was anxious and shouted, "Mom, what's going on?"
Xi Yu looked at the chaotic situation in front of him and frowned slightly.
Mrs. Fang pointed her finger at the assassin and said to Lei Bo: "This is your twin brother, I gave it away when I was a child."
Lei Bo was stunned for a moment. He never expected this to be the case.
He stared at the person who looked exactly like him, and countless complex emotions surged in his heart.
The assassin looked at the mother and son with a fierce look.
His eyes were filled with resentment.
The assassin laughed, with madness and pride in his voice.
"I'm here to frame Lei Bo today. Although I came in mask, I wouldn't really kill the Prime Minister. Instead, I threw the dart and opened the mask immediately so that I could escape and let the Prime Minister blame Lei Bo. But I didn't expect the Prime Minister's men to be so powerful."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the assassin's words.
Lei Bo looked at the assassin in anger, his eyes burning with anger.
"Why did you frame me like this? We are brothers."
The assassin sneered, his eyes full of resentment.
"Brother? Did you ever think about my feelings when I gave me away back then? I suffered so much outside, but you lived a stable life. I just want you to taste the feeling of being framed."
Mrs. Fang burst into tears and regretted.
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for the fact that the family was really in trouble, I wouldn't have given you away. I've been regretting it all these years."
The assassin's eyes were full of pain and anger. He shouted: "I told me about my life before my adoptive parents died. Because my adoptive parents owed others money, I was taken away. I was forced to work since I was a child and lived a miserable life."
His words were filled with resentment towards fate and resentment towards past suffering.
Mrs. Fang walked over with tears in her face and cried, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for the child."
However, the assassin's anger was difficult to calm down at this time. He looked at Mrs. Fang angrily and kicked her to the ground.
Seeing this, Lei Bo hurriedly stepped forward and helped his mother up and glared at the assassin.
"How can you treat your mother like this? She also has her own difficulties."
The assassin sneered, "The hardship? Who will compensate for my suffering? Is that what I have suffered over the years?"
The scene was in a stalemate for a while, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian were also filled with helplessness when they watched the chaotic scene.
They knew that it was not easy to resolve the hatred between the brothers, and it took time and patience.
Ouyang Lian frowned and said loudly: "Don't make noise here anymore. What you are talking about is family affairs after all, but now what you are talking about is assassination."
His eyes turned to Xi Yu and asked, "Prime Minister, how should we solve it?"
At this time, Mrs. Fang's face was covered in tears, and she knelt down for Xi Yu again, choking and saying, "It's all my fault. Prime Minister, you kill me, don't attack my son."
Xi Yu looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and felt a little confused.
On the one hand, this is an assassination incident and must be dealt with seriously; on the other hand, he can also understand Mrs. Fang's mood as a mother.
He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "This matter is indeed complicated, but the assassination must be investigated. However, since you, mother and son, have difficulties, I can give up the situation lightly."
Lei Bo and the Assassin both looked at Xi Yu in surprise, but they did not expect the Prime Minister to be so tolerant.
Xi Yu continued: "But you must ensure that you should resolve the conflict between you well and not be blinded by hatred."
Mrs. Fang thanked her repeatedly, and Lei Bo also watched Xi Yu gratefully. Although the assassin still had resentment in his heart, he also knew that he could no longer be stubborn at this time.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Xi Yu finally ordered the assassin to be jailed for about half a year. After hearing this, Mrs. Fang was constantly grateful, her eyes were full of surprises. She murmured: "This punishment is not like punishment. The prime minister has great kindness and virtue, and we mother and son are unforgettable."
The assassin was also moved. He lowered his head and said sincerely, "Thank you for not killing the Prime Minister."
Then, he asked curiously: "Did the Prime Minister discover that I was not Lei Bo?"
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Although your behavior is similar to Lei Bo, there are still slight differences. Because Lei Bo knew that there were dark guards, you felt very shocked when you saw the dark guards. It made me more sure that you are not Lei Bo himself."
The assassin suddenly realized and admired Xi Yu's wisdom and insight.
He secretly decided that he must reflect on his behavior and reform himself in prison.
Lei Bo stood aside, feeling full of emotion. He looked at Xi Yu with respect in his eyes.
He knew that the prime minister's tolerance and justice would affect the lives of the two brothers.
Xi Yu looked at them and said earnestly: "I hope you can learn from this incident, cherish the life in front of you, and not be influenced by hatred and impulse."
