The sun shines on the market, and the noise comes one after another.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu stood side by side in front of their straw sandal stall, and Liu Bei skillfully sorted out the straw sandals in his hands.
Guan Yu frowned and looked worried. "Brother, when will we achieve great achievements when we sell straw sandals here?"
Liu Bei smiled slightly and comforted him, "Don't worry, second brother. Now, not only I sell straw sandals at the entrance of the village, but also gradually enter the market. This is a progressive move. And I have compiled a book to the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister receives the letter, he will definitely arrange an errand for you."
When Guan Yu heard this, his expression was slow, but he still had doubts.
"Brother, the Prime Minister is busy with all kinds of things every day. Will he really pay attention to us?"
Liu Bei straightened his back and looked into the distance.
"The Prime Minister will definitely be able to recognize our talents. Second brother, please relax and wait patiently."
After ending his tired life in selling straw sandals, Liu Bei and Guan Yu dragged their heavy steps back home.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw two yamen runners waiting quietly.
The yamen runner asked solemnly: "Are you two Guan Yu and Liu Bei?"
Liu Bei felt a fist and said, "I am Guan Yu and Liu Bei, I wonder what the two of you have to do?"
One of the yamen runners stepped forward and said respectfully: "We are the yamen runners of the county yamen. We are here to arrange errands for Guan Yu at the order of the prime minister."
When Liu Bei and Guan Yu heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed.
Guan Yu's eyes were flashing with excitement, and Liu Bei's face was even more joyful.
Liu Bei held Guan Yu's hand tightly and sighed: "Second brother, I said the Prime Minister will pay attention to us. Now that the opportunity has come, you must seize it."
Guan Yu nodded heavily and bowed to the two yamen runners, "Guan must live up to the Prime Minister's order, do his best to do his job."
Liu Bei showed concern and hurriedly asked the yamen runner: "I wonder what errands have you arranged for my second brother?"
The yamen runner replied: "It is a guardian's position, and he also teaches everyone martial arts and other things in his spare time."
When Guan Yu heard this, he held his head up and said confidently: "Don't worry, brother, Guan is completely competent."
The yamen runners frowned slightly and said, "We have been waiting here for a day, so hurry up and follow us."
Guan Yu turned his head to look at Liu Bei, his eyes full of reluctance, but more of his determination toward the new journey.
Liu Bei took a step forward, held Guan Yu's hand tightly, and said solemnly: "Second brother, you must do your best to go here."
Guan Yu nodded heavily and said goodbye to Liu Bei, then resolutely followed the yamen runners.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu's back as he walked away, feeling a lot of emotion.
Sun Qiushui was sitting at home, thinking slowly, and suddenly heard footsteps coming.
Looking up, Mrs. Mingyue walked into the house with a strange man.
Mrs. Mingyue smiled slightly and called out: "Sister."
Sun Qiushui's eyes looked back and forth at Mrs. Mingyue and the strange man, and his heart was full of doubts.
She frowned slightly and asked, "Sister, who is this? Why did you bring it to your house?"
Mrs. Mingyue looked upright and said solemnly: "Sister, this is the current prime minister."
When Sun Qiushui heard this, he was shocked and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.
She never expected that her sister would come with the Prime Minister.
Sun Qiushui's face suddenly became cold, her eyes were full of anger. She sternly said: "The officials have no good things, get out of here!"
After saying that, she pointed at the door and asked Xi Yu to leave without hesitation.
Xi Yu stood there, his face full of embarrassment.
As the prime minister, he was arrogant and had never been treated like this.
But at this moment, he didn't know how to deal with it. Seeing this, Mrs. Mingyue hurriedly said, "Sister, the Prime Minister is a good person. Don't be so impulsive."
However, Sun Qiushui's emotional fluctuations were still particularly large.
She couldn't listen to Mrs. Mingyue's words at all, and just kept repeating: "I don't want to see the officials when I let him go."
Mrs. Mingyue looked at Xi Yu helplessly, her eyes full of apology.
"Since that's the case, I'll leave first. But please believe that I'm not as unbearable as you think." Xi Yu said sincerely. After that, he turned around and walked out the door.
Mrs. Mingyue looked at Xi Yu's departure back and looked at Sun Qiushui who was still angry, and her heart was filled with helplessness and worry.
When Mrs. Mingyue saw that Xi Yu turned around and left, she hurriedly chased after her. She quickly walked to Xi Yu and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, don't really leave here. Let's go ahead, I'll do my job as my sister."
Xi Yu stopped, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Of course I understand. Go and have a good talk with her."
Mrs. Mingyue felt a little relieved, looked at Xi Yu with gratitude, and hurried back to the house.
At this time, Sun Qiushui was still angry. She sat there, her chest fluttering violently.
Mrs. Mingyue walked to Sun Qiushui and whispered: "Sister, why are you so impulsive? The Prime Minister is not a bad person. He may be able to help us solve the problem."
Sun Qiushui snorted coldly and said, "Sister, you are too naive. Who is the official is not for his own benefit? I don't want to have anything to do with them."
Mrs. Mingyue patiently persuaded: "Sister, you can't generalize. The Prime Minister has a high position and a powerful position, but is willing to come in person, which shows that he is willing to solve the problem. We might as well listen to his ideas, and there may be a turning point."
Sun Qiushui remained silent. Although the anger in his heart had not completely dissipated, it began to shake.
She knew that her sister would not harm her, and maybe she should really calm down and listen to what the Prime Minister wanted to say.
Outside the house, Xi Yu stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly. He was also thinking in his heart how to resolve this conflict, how to make Sun Qiushui let go of his prejudice and accept his help.
Xi Yu slowly wandered around the entrance of the village. The scenery at the entrance of the village was indeed good, with green trees and a breeze waving.
His mood gradually calmed down and he began to think about how to communicate with Sun Qiushui.
After a while, he saw a big stone, and walked over and sat on it, quietly enjoying the surrounding scenery.
Time passed quietly, and half an hour later, Mrs. Mingyue finally found Xi Yu.
She said with joy on her face, "Prime Minister, I agree, I can see you."
Xi Yu nodded slightly, stood up, and tidied up his clothes.
At Sun Qiushui's house, Zhao Ziyue, a famous second-rate man in the village, suddenly broke in.
He looked at Sun Qiushui with a stingy look, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe, Sun Qiushui, I have liked you for a long time. Now you are like a rat crossing the street, but I, Zhao Ziyue, will not dislike you. Why not follow me?" Zhao Ziyue said as she began to touch her feet.
Sun Qiushui was so angry that her face turned red and cursed angrily: "You shameless man, get out of here!"
But Zhao Ziyue not only disobeyed, but became even more arrogant.
He hugged Sun Qiushui, with a fierce look in his eyes, and he threatened coldly: "Hmph, don't toast or not eat and punish the wine. Today you have to follow, and you have to follow if you don't follow."
Sun Qiushui struggled desperately, her heart full of fear and anger. She never expected that at this critical moment, she would meet the rogue Zhao Ziyue.
She shouted in despair, hoping someone could come to save her.
Just as Sun Qiushui was in despair, Xi Yu and Mrs. Mingyue happened to arrive.
When Mrs. Mingyue heard her sister's cry, she was anxious and rushed into the room quickly.
The scene in front of her made her furious, and she shouted: "You shameless man, how dare you be so arrogant!"
Zhao Ziyue knew nothing about Mrs. Mingyue in the world. He looked at Mrs. Mingyue, not only without any fear, but instead said arrogantly: "I didn't expect that I would catch the big one and the small one is here, so let's take it together."
Mrs. Mingyue opened her eyes wide open, raised her hand, and slapped Zhao Ziyue hard.
She was extremely strong, and Zhao Ziyue was beaten to the point of being star-stirring. Then, Mrs. Mingyue quickly took action and threw Zhao Ziyue to the ground.
Zhao Ziyue lay on the ground, moaning in pain.
Xi Yu stood at the door with a gloomy face. He looked at Zhao Ziyue on the ground and felt anger in his heart. As the prime minister, he could not tolerate such evil deeds.
Sun Qiushui was still in shock, so she threw herself into Mrs. Mingyue's arms and started crying.
Mrs. Mingyue patted her sister's back gently and comforted her: "Sister, don't be afraid, we are there."
Xi Yu walked forward, looked at Sun Qiushui, and said sincerely: "I'm scared. I will definitely uphold justice for you."
Sun Qiushui raised her head and looked at Xi Yu. The hostility in her eyes gradually dissipated.
Xi Yu looked cold and shouted the secret guards with a low shout. "Take this beast away immediately and take it to the local county government."
The secret guards flashed like ghosts. They acted quickly and decisively, and instantly controlled Zhao Ziyue, who was still struggling to beg for mercy.
The appearance of the secret guard really surprised the sisters. They had never seen such a well-trained and mysterious person, and they were stunned for a moment.
Zhao Ziyue was so scared that her face looked like a dirt at this time. While struggling hard, he begged for mercy: "Give me aside, I will never dare to do it again! Please let me go!"
However, his begging for mercy was useless.
Xi Yu looked at Zhao Ziyue in panic, with no sympathy in his eyes.
"If you do evil things, you should be punished." His voice was cold and majestic, making people shudder.
Sun Qiushui and Mrs. Mingyue looked at Zhao Ziyue who was taken away, and felt relieved, but also felt a little more awe of Xi Yu.
Sun Qiushui has learned about the process of his sister contacting the prime minister.
She looked at Xi Yu with a hint of hesitation in her eyes and asked, "Can you really solve my problem?"
Xi Yu looked solemn and said firmly: "If I were indeed wronged, I would definitely make the decision for my wife."
Hearing this, Sun Qiushui's eyes turned red instantly. The grievances and sufferings of the years surged into her heart like a tide. She suddenly started crying and choked and said, "I have been having such a hard life over the years."
Mrs. Mingyue hurried forward, gently hugged her sister, and tears also appeared in her eyes.
Xi Yu looked at Sun Qiushui quietly, and a feeling of pity surged in his heart.
He could imagine the hardships a woman experienced in this troubled times.
Xi Yu had a serious face and looked at Sun Qiushui and said, "Although I have learned the general situation from Mrs. Mingyue, I still need the wife to say it carefully."
Sun Qiushui gently wiped away the tears, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly. Her voice trembled a little, and she told me one by one about the wronged things she had been wronged back then.
Those painful memories appeared in front of her eyes like pictures, and her eyes were filled with sadness and helplessness.
She was framed by others and suffered countless rolls of eyes and accusations, and her life was in trouble since then. Over the years, she has been carrying unjust grievances, running around but has no way to ask for advice.
After saying that, Sun Qiushui's eyes turned red again.
Mrs. Mingyue held her sister's hand tightly and gave her strength. Xi Yu listened quietly, thinking secretly in her heart.
He could feel Sun Qiushui's grievances and understand the complexity of this matter.
Just as the three of them were immersed in their thoughts on Sun Qiushui's grievances, a burst of insults suddenly came from outside.
They hurried out to check, and saw an old man standing there with an angry face. This man was Zhao Ziyue's father, Old Man Zhao.
Old man Zhao pointed at Sun Qiushui and cursed: "Sun Qiushui, you are just a broom star that is unattended. What's wrong with my son coming to tease you? Why are you still being taken away?"
Sun Qiushui was so angry that she trembled all over, and tears rolled in her eyes. She never expected that Zhao Ziyue's father would be so unreasonable.
Mrs. Mingyue was furious and retorted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense! Your son should be punished if he does evil."
Xi Yu's face was gloomy. He looked at Old Man Zhao and said in a cold tone: "Your son's behavior violates the law and must be punished. If you make unreasonable trouble, you will be punished together."
Old Man Zhao was shocked by Xi Yu's momentum, but he was still unwilling to accept it.
He continued to shout, "She Sun Qiushui is not a good thing at all, my son is just a moment of confusion. You can't treat him like this."
Xi Yu ignored Old Man Zhao anymore, and turned to Sun Qiushui and said, "I will deal with this matter."
Xi Yu came to Old Man Zhao with steady steps, his eyes full of majesty and blame.
"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. The reason why your son is so beastly seems to have nothing to do with you."
When the old man Zhao heard this, he opened his eyes wide open and asked, "Who are you? Why should you care about the other people's business here?"
Xi Yu straightened his backbone and said loudly: "It is my duty to maintain justice of the law and uphold justice for the people. Your son violates the law and teases good women and must be punished. Not only do you not repent, but you are also making trouble here. It is really abominable."
When Old Man Zhao heard this, he was so scared that his face turned pale. He never expected that the person in front of him was the prime minister.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Xi Yu continued, "The law cannot be abolished, and justice cannot be humiliated. If everyone is like you, father and son, isn't this world a mess? You'd better reflect on your actions and don't excuse your son's evil deeds."
After saying that, Xi Yu turned around and returned to Sun Qiushui and Mrs. Mingyue.
Suddenly, Old Man Zhao seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and immediately insulted: "Who are you? You dare to pretend to be the prime minister. It's so outrageous!"
A hint of cunning appeared in his eyes, trying to refute Xi Yu in this way and let the situation develop in a direction that is beneficial to him.
Xi Yu frowned and his expression became even colder.
He didn't expect that Old Man Zhao would be so stubborn that he would dare to slander himself.
He calmly took out the Prime Minister's seal from his arms. In the sun, the lines and words on the seal were clearly visible, demonstrating his noble identity.
"Let your dog's eyes open and take a look. This is the Prime Minister's Secret, so how can you doubt it!" Xi Yu's voice was like a big clock, which made Old Man Zhao tremble.
When the villagers around heard the movement, they surrounded him. After seeing the Prime Minister's seal, they all took a breath and began to point fingers at Old Man Zhao.
Old Man Zhao's face turned pale, but he still said, "Hmph, who knows if this seal was stolen by you."
However, his voice no longer had the confidence he had before, and his eyes began to panic.
Mrs. Mingyue sneered from the side: "You old guy, you really don't cry until you see the coffin. The Prime Minister kindly came to preside over justice for us, but you slandered him in every way. It's really a sin."
Xi Yu put away the seal and asked the secret guard to come out.
The secret guard immediately appeared, stepped forward, and said to Old Man Zhao: "You slander the Prime Minister so much, come with us."
Seeing this, Old Man Zhao wanted to struggle, but was easily subdued by the secret guards and dragged towards the county government.
"You slander the Prime Minister like this, come with us." Seeing this, Old Man Zhao wanted to struggle, but was easily subdued by the secret guards and dragged towards the county government.
At this time, the villagers who watched the fun were shocked and then knelt down one after another.
They never expected the Prime Minister to be in their small village.
Everyone was both panic and awe-inspiring, and they didn't dare to show off their anger.
Xi Yu looked at everyone and said with a serious expression: "Get up. The person who came here this time was for Sun Qiushui. Sun Qiushui was wronged, but now he is regarded as a rat crossing the street by everyone. This is really unfair."
The villagers looked at each other, and someone whispered: "We just heard some rumors and didn't know the specific situation."
Xi Yu frowned slightly and said, "The rumors should not be trusted easily. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give Sun Qiushui a fairness. You should also use this as a warning and do not slander others at will."
Sun Qiushui stood aside, tears flashing in her eyes. She didn't expect the Prime Minister to speak for her like this, and her heart was filled with emotion.
Mrs. Mingyue also smiled with relief. She knew that her sister's grievances finally had hope of clearing them.
Xi Yu waved his hand and let everyone disperse.
The villagers then stood up and left with complicated moods.
Sun Qiushui looked at Xi Yu, her eyes full of gratitude. She bowed and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you for speaking justice to me in front of everyone."
Xi Yu hurriedly helped Sun Qiushui up and said gently: "No need to do this, the truth is just to reveal the truth." After that, he looked at Mrs. Mingyue again, "Let's go into the house and talk in detail."
The three of them walked into the house together, and the atmosphere inside was very different from before.
Sun Qiushui's mood was still difficult to calm down at this time. She never thought that one day the prime minister would support her.
And today, this matter has also begun to be relied on in the village.
