At night, my daughter may have been a little naughty because she was frightened during the day.
Zeng Rou's anger that had accumulated for a day was ignited in an instant, and she started to fight her daughter.
The daughter's cry echoed in the room, and the tender cry pierced Zeng Rou's heart like a steel needle.
Seeing her daughter crying with tears on her face and her little body trembled constantly, Zeng Rou suddenly regretted it.
She hugged her daughter, tears flowing like a spring, and kept saying "I'm sorry", full of guilt for her daughter.
Xi Yu came to this street, but was a little confused. The scene in front of him made him feel familiar and unfamiliar. The streets were filled with various stalls, many of which sold mung beans.
He frowned and tried to recall the situation that day, but he could not determine which one was the shop he hit.
He walked slowly along the street, his eyes swept back and forth at each mung bean stall, with a focused and solemn expression.
At this time, the owner of a pharmacy noticed him. It was a burly man with a bit of vigilance in his eyes.
Seeing Xi Yu wandering around for a long time, his behavior seemed a little suspicious, he shouted loudly: "Hey! What are you doing here sneakily?"
Xi Yu was slightly stunned, then bowed and said, "This brother, I'm a misunderstanding. A few days ago, I passed by here and accidentally ran into a stall selling mung beans. Today I came to apologize, but there are too many mung beans sold around, and I'm identifying them."
The man selling medicine frowned and said impatiently: "Are there many mung bean sellers ahead? If you want to find one, go over here and don't wander around here. Look at you like a thief."
Xi Yu smiled awkwardly and explained: "Boss, I really forgot which mung bean stall it was. I have no malicious intentions."
The boss who sold medicine showed an even more inexplicable expression on his face and his eyes were full of suspicion.
"Hmph, who knows whether what you said is true or not?" the boss said angrily, "I think you just want to steal things in the chaos, don't play tricks with me, and you want to steal somewhere else, don't wander under my nose."
When Xi Yu heard this, he was furious. When did he be so slandered by his dignified prime minister?
He looked dark and asked sternly: "Boss, why are you swearing and saying I am a thief? I have explained the reason very clearly. How can you be so rude?"
The boss disagreed and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, if you were not a thief, why were you wandering around like a headless fly here? Stop quibbling, I won't believe your nonsense easily."
Xi Yu thought to himself that as the prime minister, he should not be too concerned with an ordinary citizen, so as to avoid losing his identity. But then, the boss's words became increasingly unpleasant, and all kinds of unpleasant words were spit out of his mouth, and he was extremely insulting.
Xi Yu could no longer help but the anger in his heart and shouted loudly in impulse.
"Catch the offender in the bed, catch the thief and see the stolen goods. What evidence do you have to slander me like this?" His voice echoed on the street like Hong Zhong Dalu, instantly attracting the attention of many passers-by.
Everyone gathered around, pointed and watched the sudden conflict curiously.
The boss saw everyone around him, and became more and more excited, and said at the top of his voice: "Everyone is here! Look, this person has been wandering around here for a long time. What is this not a thief? How can a good person be like him?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately discussed it.
Someone nodded in agreement with Xi Yu's statement.
"They are just looking for a stall. It's not like sneaking, but it's just a thief. We haven't seen him steal things, right? You can't just accuse a good person."
However, many people stood on the side of the boss and said angrily: "He doesn't look like a good person with a sneaky look. Even if he didn't steal this time, he still has the intention. We have to be careful and maybe we will steal our things one day."
There was noisy scene, and both sides held their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.
Xi Yu frowned, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He whispered: "I have a clear conscience. I can't control what others think. If you insist on deciding that I am a thief, then think so. I don't want to make any more excuses."
After saying that, he stood with his hands behind his back, with a calm expression, but there was a faint sense of misunderstanding in his eyes.
At this time, a child in the crowd suddenly pointed at Xi Yu and said loudly: "Isn't this the Prime Minister? I've seen him in the city tower!"
When the people around him heard this, they were stunned at first, and then someone sneered: "What do children know at home? Don't talk nonsense here. How could a thief be the prime minister?"
However, the child's father was also next to him. After carefully looking at Xi Yu, he looked serious and said, "The child is right, this should be the prime minister. I did see him in the city tower before, no wonder I felt familiar just now."
His words calmed down everyone around him, and everyone looked at Xi Yu with suspicion, his eyes full of surprise.
Xi Yu frowned slightly and said with a serious expression: "I didn't want to mention my identity, but now I have to do it."
After saying that, he slowly took out the Prime Minister's token from his arms, raised it high, and said loudly: "I am the Prime Minister. Do you still believe it?"
When everyone saw this, they were stunned and silent in an instant.
The owner of the medicine shop even widened his eyes, his eyes full of fear, and his body trembled involuntarily.
He secretly cried in his heart: "Oh my God! I'm really blind. I just insulted the Prime Minister as a thief. What should I do? I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble this time." His face turned pale, and beads of sweat as big as beans kept rolling down his forehead.
The owner of the medicine shop said "thump" and kowtowed like pounding garlic. He kept begging: "Prime Minister, the villain has no eyes and offended him. I beg the Prime Minister to forgive the villain's ignorance. Do not bother with the villain."
Xi Yu looked cold and looked around everyone, and asked loudly: "Now, do you still think that you are a thief?"
Everyone shook their heads and said in unison: "Of course, the Prime Minister is not a thief."
Xi Yu sneered: "Hmph, is it because the true nature is not a thief? Then what is your basis for judging that the true nature is a thief? Shouldn't you look at whether there is any evidence? You can slander others at will based on just imagination and unreasonable guessing. What is this?"
When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads in shame.
Seeing this, the owner of the pharmacy shop hurriedly climbed over and grabbed Xi Yu's leg tightly, and cried in tears: "Prime Minister, the villain knows his mistake. The villain is really confused! You don't remember the villain's mistakes, so you must forgive the villain!"
Xi Yu frowned slightly and sighed, "You get up, don't have to do this. I won't pursue this matter, but you must pay attention in the future. Don't be so reckless and draw conclusions based on appearances alone, and don't know how many good people will be wronged."
The owner of the pharmacy shop was as if he had been amnesty and hurriedly stood up and thanked him constantly.
The owner of the drug shop felt like he had walked away from the gate of hell.
He stood up tremblingly and thanked Xi Yu continuously.
"The Prime Minister is really generous. The great kindness of the great virtues of the villain will never be forgotten. The villain will definitely be cautious in his words and actions in the future, and then speak after seeing it clearly."
Xi Yu nodded slightly and said with a serious expression: "You should be like this. Today I am meeting my true appearance, and I will not care about you. But if I meet other people with bad tempers and are so wronged by you for no reason, they may be fistful and kicked at you and even cause death."
The owner of the pharmacy shop nodded repeatedly and said, "What the Prime Minister said is very true. The villain already knows that he is wrong and will never dare to do it again."
At this time, Xi Yu walked towards the child who recognized him just now.
He smiled, patted the child's head gently, and praised, "You doll, are smart and have a good memory."
The child's father saw this scene aside, his face flushed with excitement, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with surprise and pride.
This scene will become the capital for the father and son to show off in front of relatives and friends in the future.
Whenever they talk about this, others will look envious. Of course, these are all later stories.
At this time, everyone on the streets secretly praised the Prime Minister's approach to the people.
Xi Yu said loudly: "Now, I want to tell you the purpose of coming here. I was not as sneaky as the boss said, but looking for a stall selling mung beans. Last time, I returned from another place, because my horse was riding too fast, I accidentally knocked over a mung bean stall. Today I came to apologize to the stall owner."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that they looked at Xi Yu with a little admiration.
It turned out that the Prime Minister was such an open and honest person. In order to make up for his mistakes, he would not hesitate to put down his figure and look for the stall owner.
My previous misunderstanding of Xi Yu has now turned into shame.
They secretly reflected on their recklessness and credibility just now. Xi Yu continued, "So I really don't know which stall it is, so I checked it carefully here."
As he was talking, suddenly a man stood out from the crowd. He scratched his head and said, "Master, I remembered that it seemed that the mung bean stall in Zeng Rou's house had been knocked over. If the adults don't dislike it, the villain would be willing to take the adults there."
Xi Yu's eyes showed a hint of relief and nodded: "That's what I want to do."
The man brought Xi Yu to Zeng Rou's shop and shouted loudly: "Zeng Rou, didn't your mung bean bean be pushed down last time? Now I know who did it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce voice came out of the room.
"Which one of the gods killed me? Today I have to peel off his skin!"
With the scolding, a figure walked out in a hurry.
Xi Yu looked up and saw a woman with a slightly tough look and a bit masculine appearance.
She was wearing a coarse cloth dress, which was washed clean although the texture was rough.
The woman's face was full of anger, and there seemed to be flames burning in her eyes, as if she was about to fight with others.
The man quickly pulled Zeng Rou's sleeve and lowered his voice and said, "Zeng Rou, you must be careful! Do you know who this noble person is in front of you?"
Zeng Rou sneered, with disdain on her face.
"No matter who he is, I will never let go if I ruin my livelihood." The man stamped his feet in a hurry.
"This is amazing. This is the prime minister today!"
Zeng Rou was stunned, her eyes full of disbelief.
"You... don't joke, how can you talk nonsense like this?"
The man told all the things that happened on the street just now, including how Xi Yu was misunderstood as a thief, and showed off the prime minister's token, etc.
After hearing this, Zeng Rou was so scared that she lost her soul, her face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.
So Zeng Rou knelt down in panic and kowtowed to Xi Yu to apologize.
"Master, the civilian woman does not know that she is an adult, so she will offend her. I hope she will forgive her for her crime."
At the same time, she turned her head and blamed the man.
"Why didn't you say earlier that the Prime Minister knocked down my mung bean stall?"
The man shrugged helplessly.
"I haven't had time to say it yet. Your temper is too hot. How could I have the chance to speak?"
Xi Yu smiled and said to Zeng Rou gently: "Get up quickly, it's my fault. It's normal for me to be angry. I won't blame you for being pushed down by someone."
Zeng Rou raised her head in disbelief, her eyes full of surprise, as if she was suspicious that the Prime Minister was really that easy to talk to?
She hesitated for a moment and stood up slowly.
Xi Yu said sincerely: "This matter is indeed wrong with the original person. The situation was urgent that day. The original person rushed to the road and did not notice your stall, which caused you losses."
He paused and continued to explain.
"That Japanese minister was to rescue the affected people as soon as possible, so he kept working tirelessly."
Zeng Rou felt guilty when she heard this and hurriedly said, "The Prime Minister is busy with all kinds of things and apologizes to the private women for such trivial matters. It is really embarrassing to the private women. The adults are in love with the world and work hard for the people, but the private women are still here to make trouble for the mung beans. It is really not."
As she said that, her expression darkened.
"And the civilian woman was knocked over by mung beans that day and suffered heavy losses. She actually blew her anger on her daughter. Now I think about it, I'm really sorry for the child."
Xi Yu said: "The original person must compensate for the losses caused to you."
As he said that, he took out some money from his arms and handed it to Zeng Rou.
Seeing this, Zeng Rou waved her hands in panic and said, "Prime Minister, the civilian women must not accept them! The adults are already satisfied if they can come to apologize to the civilian women. How dare they ask for compensation from the adults?"
At this time, many people had gathered around the door, most of whom were watching on the street just now.
Seeing this, Xi Yu said sincerely: "If you don't accept it, wouldn't you fall into an unjust place? If the original form damages your things, compensation is natural."
Zeng Rou hesitated for a while, thinking of the prime minister's identity and his insistence, he had to accept the currency.
At this moment, someone took the lead, and a warm applause suddenly burst out from the crowd.
The applause echoed on the streets, full of admiration for the prime minister and admiration for this warm ending.
Someone in the crowd praised loudly: "The Prime Minister is really kind! Such moral character is really a blessing for our dynasty."
Xi Yu smiled and waved his hand to everyone, saying, "Don't applaud anymore. It's just a trivial thing to do. It's natural that you have damaged other people's things to compensate, and there is no need to praise you like this."
His eyes were gentle and humble, which made everyone respect him even more.
Then, Xi Yu turned around and left amid the respectful applause of everyone. He walked and said to everyone: "Everyone, let's go all out."
This experience made Xi Yu feel warm.
He knew very well that the people often care about these seemingly ordinary little things. Although these things are small, they are related to their lives and emotions.
As long as the rulers consider the people sincerely, even if it is just a small matter like compensation and knocked down mung bean stall like this, the people will see it, remember it in their hearts, and then support love.
Zeng Rou called out her daughter and said she would buy her something delicious. She beat her that day and today she was considered compensation.
The daughter was very happy and jumped in front of her.
Along the way, my little mouth never stopped. I said I wanted to eat candied haws, and then I wanted to eat bean paste cake.
Zeng Rou smiled behind her, looking at her daughter's back, her eyes full of tenderness and guilt.
When we arrived at the market, it was very lively.
The daughter pulled Zeng Rou to shuttle in front of various food stalls. After a while, her two little hands were full of food.
Zeng Rou looked at her daughter eating all over her mouth, took out her handkerchief and gently wiped off the residue on the corner of her mouth, thinking that she could no longer beat and scold the child impulsively in the future, the child's happiness is that simple.
Xi Yu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, frowned, and Princess Anxi kept coming into his mind.
He knew very well that Hesheli, the king of Absil, would never give up.
Although the Han Dynasty was strong and Anxi did not dare to provoke trouble openly, he would definitely use some evil means behind the scenes.
On the other hand, Shi Dami, the messenger of rest last time, decided to go back.
After all, the princess has already lost her whereabouts, but the princess is unwilling to go back at all. What can he do?
You can't tie the princess back, it will only provoke war between the two countries.
So, he embarked on the journey back with regret and unwillingness. The sound of horse hooves was thumping, and every stroke seemed to hit his heart.
Xi Yu frowned, and he kept thinking about a question in his mind.
He had not trained troops for a long time, and he knew very well that the discipline and combat effectiveness of the army were like sailing against the current, and if he did not advance, he would retreat.
Now that there has been no war for a long time, the tense atmosphere of wartime may have disappeared in the barracks.
Thinking of this, Xi Yu decided to go to the military camp to inspect. When he stepped into the military camp, the scene in front of him made him angry.
Many soldiers were lazy, some leaned against the camp tent and basked in the sun, while others even threw their weapons aside.
The military appearance that should have been strict was gone at this moment. A sharp flashed in Xi Yu's eyes. He would never allow such a situation to continue. This army carries the safety of the Han Dynasty.
"What are you doing?" he shouted.
Several soldiers were suddenly stunned. They were wondering who was so bold and dared to scold them. However, when they looked up, they saw that it was Xi Yu, so they knelt down one after another.
"What do you look like?"
