"Yes, why did a strange woman suddenly appear and was brought here with Wang Henghua? It seems like she was a crime." A young man echoed, with an excited light flashing in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to the start of a big show.
Several women gathered together and chattered: "Maybe they are bad guys with Wang Henghua. Judging from her appearance, they don't look like a good person."
The children were hiking around in the crowd, looking at Sister Lin curiously, and were pulled back by the adults from time to time, and slipped out again while the adults were not paying attention.
The whole scene was noisy and all kinds of guesses came one after another. Sister Lin seemed increasingly uneasy under the scrutiny of everyone. Her fate was as if it was being roasted on fire at this moment.
This drama of revealing the truth, directed by Xi Yu, has just begun, and the subsequent development has firmly grasped the hearts of every villager.
After a while, more and more people came, and Gan Mei also came over.
When she appeared, she seemed to have a light, and her delicate face exuded an extraordinary charm. Her figure was graceful but not without dignity. Her simple but extremely textured clothes made her look more elegant.
When everyone saw Gan Mei, their eyes lit up. They felt like she was like a fairy who accidentally fell into the mortal world in the sky, incompatible with the simplicity of the countryside.
Everyone was full of curiosity and thought to themselves how could such a temperamental woman appear in this ordinary countryside, and where did she appear?
Several young young people had slightly red faces, their eyes unconsciously followed Gan Mei, and they did not dare to speak loudly, for fear of abrupt beauty.
The women also stopped chattering, with a bit of stunning and envy in their eyes, and the children surrounded them a little curiously.
The scene became much quieter for a while, and was shocked by Gan Mei's outstanding temperament.
Seeing that the people were almost done, Xi Yu said, "Wang Henghua set up the checkpoint because he had nothing to do with the Prime Minister's wife. Later, my brother Luo Xiaoyu met Sister Lin while walking on the road. Sister Lin said she could be responsible for helping people become officials and then charge fees because she claimed that she had something to do with the Prime Minister's wife. But now I don't know if what these two people said is true."
As soon as Xi Yu finished speaking, many people were in an uproar at this moment.
"It turns out that this woman is also under the banner of the Prime Minister's wife!" Everyone started to talk about it with words, and the scene was noisy and noisy again.
The brave people shouted to Sister Lin: "What you said is true or false, you can't just sting the Prime Minister's wife!"
Sister Lin stood there, her face pale and her lips were trembling, but she couldn't say a complete sentence for a while.
The people around him became more and more excited, waiting for Xi Yu to say something next. The atmosphere in the whole scene became more and more tense, as if a tense string could break at any time.
Xi Yu said that they will be formally tried.
So he asked Sister Lin and Wang Henghua: "Do you really know the Prime Minister's wife, or do you just act under the banner of Prime Minister's wife, but in fact you don't know the Prime Minister's wife at all?"
Sister Lin lowered her head, grabbed the corner of her clothes with her hands unconsciously, and her body trembled slightly.
Wang Henghua's eyes were rolling, trying to find a chance from the faces of the people around him.
But when I saw everyone's angry and expecting the answer, I swallowed a few salivas, and the atmosphere at the scene fell into a stalemate.
Everyone held their breath and waited for them to give an explanation. The whole scene was so quiet that it seemed as if everyone's heartbeat could be heard. The tense atmosphere enveloped everyone's heads like dark clouds.
Wang Henghua quickly pretended to be calm again, and retorted with his neck, "I also agreed to the Prime Minister's wife."
Luo Xiaoyu snorted coldly, took a step forward, looked directly at Wang Henghua, and said loudly: "Don't make a quibble. You just want to make excuses for your evil deeds. The villagers present could see clearly what you were feeling for!"
After hearing this, the people around them also agreed, pointed at Wang Henghua, and shouted that he would not try to deceive everyone again. Sister Lin was on the side, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, her eyes were dodging, and she did not dare to look at everyone's questioning eyes. She felt over and over again, and she didn't know how this scene would end next.
Wang Henghua was still holding on, but under the pretentious appearance of calmness, he was already extremely guilty.
Xi Yu looked at Sister Lin with a look of a torch, and asked, "What about you?"
Sister Lin suddenly became a little panicked, her knees softened, and she fell to the ground with a "splash", folded her hands together, begging for mercy: "Sir, I was wrong, I don't know the Prime Minister's wife at all. I just heard about someone setting up a checkpoint in Wangjiazhuang, and I became greedy for a while. I thought that I might be able to make some money by using the Prime Minister's wife's name, so I lied that I knew her to cheat people. I was really just for money. But I swear that I have never killed or set fire, and I have never done such things that are harmful to heaven. I... I don't know what you are, but judging from your aura, I must be an official, so I asked you, sir, please be kind to me and spare me this time."
She looked at Xi Yu, feeling ups and downs, hoping to get a trace of forgiveness.
At this time, many people started to talk.
"This woman is so bold. As an official, you need to be good at character and good at learning and virtuous. How can you buy and sell whatever you want?" An old man was so angry that his beard was shaking and he shook his head with a crutch.
"That's right, the selection of officials in the court is a major issue that concerns the welfare of our people. She is good. She dares to do whatever she wants to do for some money. Keeping such a person is also a disaster. In my opinion, this woman deserves to die now."
A young young man also agreed with indignation, his words full of contempt and resentment for such behavior.
Everyone was talking and talking, and the more they spoke, the more excited they became. The accusations and scoldings gathered together, as if they were about to completely submerge Sister Lin.
Sister Lin could only keep kowtowing, muttering: "Give me your life, spare me your life..."
But her voice was soon overwhelmed by the sounds of the people around her.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, with a bit of seriousness in his eyes. He looked at Wang Henghua and said in a deep voice: "I will give you a last chance. You have to think about it before speaking, don't be obsessed with it anymore."
Wang Henghua sneered, his face full of disdain, raised his neck and said loudly: "What I'm telling is the truth. If you don't believe it, just go and see! Humph, you offended me today and will be punished a hundred times the day in the future. The power behind me is not something you can afford. When the Prime Minister's wife knows this, she will definitely not let you guys who are ignorant of the world easily."
There was a sense of arrogance in his words, as if he was sure that he would be fine. His arrogant look made the people around him feel so angry.
Many people clenched their fists. If they weren't afraid of Wang Henghua's usual ruthlessness, they would probably have rushed up to teach him a lesson.
Xi Yu's face darkened, his eyes became colder. He was not moved at all, but just looked at Wang Henghua quietly.
Then, Xi Yu looked at Gan Mei and whispered: "Now you can confront him."
Gan Mei lightly tapped her head, and she seemed to have already made up her mind. She stepped forward with her cold eyes locked directly on Wang Henghua, but she didn't say a word.
The eyes of many people also focused on Gan Mei again, and they were secretly amazed in their hearts. Even in such anger, the beauty's charm was still fascinating, and her cold aura seemed to add a bit of mysterious charm to her beauty, which made people fascinated.
Gan Mei raised her eyes slightly, and a cold voice rang in the air: "Wang Henghua, tell me, what relatives do I have with you?"
A sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of Wang Henghua's mouth.
"Hmph, you figure it out, I have something to do with the Prime Minister's wife, what a fuck do you think?"
Gan Mei's expression remained unchanged, and she just said lightly: "Because I am the Prime Minister's wife, I am Gan Mei."
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Wang Henghua looked disbelief. He never expected that the woman in front of him would be the Prime Minister's wife. He originally tried to use the name of Prime Minister's wife to relieve himself, but now the real Prime Minister's wife is standing in front of him.
He felt dizzy and his mind was blank.
But then, Wang Henghua laughed again, pointed at Xi Yu and said, "This person pretended to be the prime minister, and you pretended to be the prime minister's wife. After a long time of trouble, you are the ones who really pretended to be."
He laughed as he spoke and laughed, and his appearance seemed to have grabbed some huge handle, trying to turn the situation around.
At this time, some people were confused and began to talk in a low voice.
"How can you be like this? I thought they were good people, but they were bad people after a long time of trouble." Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts and hesitation.
The trust that Xi Yu, Gan Mei and the others had originally started to shake at this moment, and there was a little suspicion in their eyes when they looked at them.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became subtle and complex, as if a cloud of fog was shrouded in everyone's hearts, making it difficult to tell who is true and who is false.
Gan Mei raised her hand slightly and signaled everyone to calm down. When everyone's voices gradually weakened, she slowly spoke: "My fellow villagers, I, Gan Mei, here to assure you that I am the real Prime Minister's wife, and the one in front of you," she said, stretched out her hand and pointed at Xi Yu, "Even if you are the Prime Minister, there is no falsehood."
As soon as she finished speaking, many people who knew the prime minister's majesty changed their faces in an instant. They hurriedly knelt down and saluted, muttering, "Greetings to the Prime Minister, and to the Prime Minister's wife."
For a moment, a large number of people were kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Henghua was so anxious that he jumped up and shouted at the top of his throat: "Why are you kneeling? They are liars, and you really believe that you are three-year-old children? Don't be fooled by them!"
But at this moment, the people had their own thoughts, and some of them were still kneeling on the ground, just secretly looking up, not knowing who should believe.
The scene was in a stalemate, the atmosphere was tense and chaotic, as if an invisible storm was quietly brewing among the crowd.
Gan Mei then looked at Xi Yu and said softly: "Husband, haven't you revealed your identity yet?"
Xi Yu nodded with a calm expression. Then he slowly took out a token from his arms, raised it high, and said aloud: "Look at what this is? This is the Prime Minister's exclusive token. Seeing this token is like meeting the Prime Minister himself. If anyone among you doesn't believe that I am the Prime Minister, you can go to Youzhou City with me to verify it. Then the authenticity will be clear."
Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on the token, and the literate ones approached and carefully identified them.
Although most people have never seen the Prime Minister's token with their own eyes, the exquisite patterns, unique engravings and the sense of majesty on the token shocked many people.
The original hesitant thoughts began to slowly shake.
Wang Henghua looked at the token and his face became extremely ugly. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Hmph, what can a broken brand mean? Maybe where did you get the fake product?"
But when he said this, there were very few people who agreed.
Luo Xiaoyu stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped Wang Henghua hard, shouting angrily: "Bastard, I'm still talking nonsense here at this time! The Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife have both taken out their certificates, but you are still quibbling. Can you really think that everyone is a fool?"
Wang Henghua was slapped by this sudden slap and his eyes were filled with stars. He shook his body a few times before he could stabilize it. A red slap mark appeared on his face.
He was shocked and angry, staring at Luo Xiaoyu, and was about to fight back, but he saw the eyes of the people around him looking at him full of disgust and spitting. He swallowed the harsh words he said, but he just stared at Luo Xiaoyu fiercely, as if he was about to swallow him alive, but in the end he had no such arrogant confidence as before.
Wang Henghua realized at this time that the person in front of him was indeed the prime minister. He was so scared that his legs were weak. He knelt down with a "thump". While kowtowing, he begged for mercy: "Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's wife, forgive me. The young man had no eyes and did not recognize Mount Tai. He hit the Buddha. It was a crime that he deserved to die. But the young man did have relatives with you, Mrs.."
Gan Mei raised her eyebrows, looked at him coldly, and said, "Then tell me what relatives you have. You have to explain them clearly to me today. If you dare to make up for it again, you will definitely forgive me."
Wang Henghua hurriedly said, "Madam, I have a cousin named Long Taifeng. Long Taifeng has a cousin named Hua Qianzhong, and Hua Qianzhong's cousin is Hua Qianfeng, and Hua Qianfeng and your father are brother-in-law."
He spoke with an anxious look on his face, trying to prove his relationship with Gan Mei by relying on this complex and mouth-wrinkle relationship. While speaking, he also looked at Gan Mei's face, hoping to see a little looseness.
He said for so long that he couldn't help but sneer and said, "So it's such an unrelated relative. It's been a few turns. You can say it out."
Many people around him were stunned when they heard this, but when they came back, they all laughed.
The laughter was filled with ridicule of Wang Henghua's far-fetched statements. The originally tense atmosphere at the scene became a little humorous because of this incident, but the eyes of everyone looking at Wang Henghua still showed unconcealed contempt.
Then, Gan Mei sneered and said righteously: "Not just such a sloping relative, even a legitimate and close relatives must not act under my banner. He set up checkpoints here and made money wantonly, which completely violated the laws of the Han Dynasty. Such evil deeds must not be tolerated."
Gan Mei's words are loud and echoing in the air, demonstrating justice and majesty.
At this time, the long-standing anger in the hearts of many people seemed to have finally found a vent, and they began to applaud enthusiastically.
The applause was as loud as thunder, which was not only an identification and support for Gan Mei's words, but also a criticism and despise of Wang Henghua's actions.
Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, Wang Henghua still kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy, crying: "Madam, Prime Minister, I am really wrong. Please spare me this time. I will never dare to do it again. In the future, I will definitely change my mind and become a new person."
However, Gan Mei ignored him and looked at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Take them directly to the local county government."
As soon as this was said, he shouted to the dark place. As soon as he finished speaking, several secret guards dressed in black and agile, immediately appeared.
The silent and sudden scene really scared many people, and a few screams suddenly came from the crowd.
Seeing this, Xi Yu hurriedly raised his hand to comfort everyone and said loudly: "Don't be afraid of all villagers. These are my secret guards. They are just doing things on orders and will not hurt everyone. Today's affairs will be dealt with by the county government in accordance with the rules and will give everyone justice."
After hearing this, the people gradually calmed down. However, the eyes of the secret guards were still a little awe and curiosity, and the scene gradually returned to some order.
Wang Henghua and Sister Lin kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Many people laughed at them, especially those in the same village as Wang Henghua, who believed that his existence was an insult to the village.
Wang Henghua shouted: "Sir, Madam, please open the Internet. We know we are wrong, and we will never dare to do it again."
Sister Lin cried with tears on her face and sobbed, "Although I am guilty, my crime is much less than him. Please spare me this time. I will definitely be a good person in the future and make up for my mistakes."
However, no matter how hard they begged, the Western Regions always looked cold and unmoved. They had already firmly determined to hand them over to the county government for punishment according to law.
In Xi Yu's opinion, the law is strict, and the mistakes they make cannot be easily forgiven just by begging for mercy. They must be allowed to pay the due price for what they do, and it is also possible to give an explanation to the people of this area, so that everyone knows that those who violate the law and discipline cannot escape fair judgment after all.
Next, Xi Yu reminded the secret guards: "You go and go back early, and you have to send Mrs. Gan back for resettlement."
