Chapter 553: The Rich Man's Cry

A small town called Bei'an.

Chen Ping stood under the dilapidated roof and looked at the rich shops in the town, his eyes flashing with determination.

He gritted his teeth, turned to his younger brother Chen An and said, "Brother, we have to do this, rob the rich." These rich people are greedily accumulating wealth, while we are struggling in poverty. ”

Chen An frowned, his face full of reluctance.

"Brother, is this really good? We're going to be in big trouble. ”

Chen Ping clenched his fists and spoke firmly.

"This is our only chance, only in this way can we better pay off our debts."

Chen An hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Well, brother, I believe in you."

As night fell, the streets of Bei'an town were silent. Chen Ping and Chen An quietly approached a wealthy man's shop. Gorgeous lanterns hang in front of the store, illuminating the stone path in front of the door.

Chen Ping whispered to Chen An: "After you go in, you should move quickly and try not to make a sound." ”

Chen An swallowed nervously.

"Got it, brother."

The two pushed open the door and entered the store. It is filled with precious goods and exudes a luxurious glow. Chen Ping quickly picked up a bag full of gold coins, while Chen An looked around nervously.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Chen Ping's face changed.

"Oh no, someone's coming, hide!"

They hurriedly hid behind the shelves, their hearts beating rapidly. The footsteps are getting closer, and the lights in the store are on.

"Who's there?" A stern voice rang out.

Chen Ping and Chen An held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound. The sound of footsteps echoed through the shop, then faded away.

After waiting for a while and making sure it was safe, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ping looked at the gold coin bag in his hand, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"We succeeded, brother. This money can help us change our lives. ”

However, Chen An's mood became heavy.

"Brother, is it really right for us to do this? We got some money, but we hurt others. ”

Chen Ping was silent for a moment, and then gently patted Chen An on the shoulder.

"Brother, the world is not fair. Why are we so poor when they are so rich? ”

Chen An thought about his brother's words, and his heart was still full of contradictions.

They left the rich man's shop and blended into the night. The streets of Bei'an town are still quiet, as if nothing had happened.

On this day, the sun was shining, and Xi Yu led the group into the Bei'an City Gate.

But what they saw in front of them was shocking.

At the gates of the city, a group of people knelt, their expressions anxious and desperate.

Xi Yu's heart was full of doubts, and he immediately motioned for everyone to inquire about the situation.

Zhao Yun jumped off the horse, walked towards the group of people, and asked gently, "May I ask what is going on?" Why are you kneeling here? ”

One of the wealthy businessmen raised his head, his eyes full of tears, "General, we are all merchants from Bei'an City. Recently, our shops have been burgled and robbed, and our family members have been taken hostage and many of our belongings have been taken. We heard that King Xiyu passed by here, and I implore you to be the master for us! ”

Xi Yu's face became serious, and he looked at these poor rich businessmen, and a wave of righteous indignation swelled in his heart.

"Don't worry, since I've encountered this incident, I won't sit idly by. Please tell me more details and I will do my best to help you get back what you lost. ”

The wealthy businessmen told their stories, and Xi Yu listened attentively, nodding their heads from time to time to show understanding.

At this time, a tense atmosphere pervades the streets of Bei'an town.

People stopped to watch, whispering. Xi Yu looked around and saw that the doors of the shops on both sides of the street were closed, as if he was afraid of being implicated.

Xi Yu comforted the wealthy businessmen, "Don't be afraid, I will find out the truth as soon as possible and bring the thieves to justice." ”

He turned to him and said, "Let's go check on the stolen shop first and look for clues." ”

A trace of doubt surged in Xi Yu's heart, and he looked at several wealthy businessmen with sharp eyes.

"Why don't you go to the local magistrate?"

A wealthy businessman said angrily: "We have already reported the case to the county order, but he is always in a hurry, and we suspect that he has accepted the benefits of thieves!" ”

Xi Yu's face became gloomy.

"If this is the case, this man will be punished severely!"

Subsequently, Xi Yu and several other generals planned to stay in the inn.

At this time, a wealthy merchant surnamed Qin proposed: "My lord, I have many vacant rooms in my house, why don't you come to live with me, you can live more comfortably." ”

Xi Yu thought about it and thought it was a good idea, "That's fine, then it's hard." ”

The wealthy merchant surnamed Qin smiled and nodded.

"It's my honor to serve the king."

So, Xi Yu and his party followed Qin Fushang to his mansion.

The Qin family's mansion is spacious and elegant, with green trees and flowers in the garden. Xi Yu stayed in a beautifully furnished room and felt a touch of tranquility.

At night, the moonlight is like water, sprinkled in the courtyard of the Qin family. Xi Yu stood in front of the window, quietly thinking about the clues of the case. He knew that more time and effort would be needed to unravel the mystery.

Early the next morning, Xi Yu decided to go to the county office alone to find out the truth of the matter.

At the entrance of the county office, several officials were talking and laughing, and their voices echoed in the air, as if this was not an office place, but a noisy vegetable market.

Xi Yu watched this scene, and the anger in his heart gradually rose.

He stepped forward and said solemnly: "I want to see the county order, and I have something important to ask." ”

One of the officials glanced at him casually, "The county magistrate doesn't have time to receive you, so you better go back quickly." ”

There was a hint of majesty in Xi Yu's voice.

"I'm here for the rich merchants of Bei'an City, their shops have been robbed, how can the county order ignore it?"

The other sneered.

"You are meddling, and the county government will naturally deal with it."

Xi Yu's brows furrowed tightly.

"You are the ones who have neglected their duties! I'm going to report it to the top. ”

Several officials looked at each other, a hint of disdain on their faces.

"Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, you can sue it! ”

Xi Yu was angry in his heart, but he held back his anger.

"I'll make you regret it."

Xi Yu called his secret guard and gave an order: "Go and teach a few officials who are negligent in their duties, and let them know what responsibility is." ”

The Dark Guard took the order, appearing like a ghost.

Several of the officials were completely unaware of the approaching danger. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of them, causing a surge of fear in their hearts.

"Who is it?" A servant asked tremblingly.

The shadow didn't answer, just made a quick move.

After a few blows of punches and kicks, the officials lay on the ground and groaned. Their faces were full of pain and horror, and they were completely devoid of their previous arrogance.

Xi Yu saw a swagger into the county office.

In the county office, the county magistrate was sitting in the study, holding two beauties in his arms, looking leisurely and complacent.

"Lord Prefectural, I'm really interested." The voice of the drama echoed in the study.

The county commander's eyes widened as he looked at the strange man in front of him.

"Who are you? Dare to trespass on the county office! There was majesty in his voice.

Xi Yu smiled slightly.

"I'm here to ask for an explanation for the wealthy merchants in Bei'an City."

The county commander was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect this stranger to know about the rich businessmen.

"How did you know about this?" His eyes sharpened.

Xi Yu said calmly: "I heard from the rich merchants that their shops were robbed, but the county order ignored them. ”

The prefectural commander's face changed.

"Who are you? Why do you question me? There was a hint of anger in his voice.

The corners of Xi Yu's mouth rose.

"I'm Xi Yu."

The county commander was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the stranger in front of him was Xi Yu.

"You...... Are you the king of drama? His tone became respectful.

Xi Yu nodded. "Exactly, I'm here to find out the truth and seek justice for the rich businessmen."

There was a hint of embarrassment on the county order's face.

"My lord, in fact, this matter ......," he wanted to speak, but stopped.

Xi Yu saw the mind of the county order.

"You don't have to worry, as long as you tell the truth, I won't embarrass you."

The prefectural magistrate sighed.

"My lord, in fact, this matter is my negligence. I didn't expect those thieves to be so powerful that I was undermanned to compete with them. ”

Xi Yu frowned.

"As a county magistrate, you should keep the party safe. If you can't protect the people, how can you be worthy of this official uniform? ”

The prefectural order bowed his head.

"The king is right, the villain will try his best to make up for my mistakes."

It turned out that at first, Chen Ping and Chen An had sex with one or two brothers, but later they also found that they were addicted to it, so they began to hire people in order to get more wealth.

Yesterday, the two Chen Ping brothers returned to the inn and excitedly counted the money in their hands.

They glanced at each other, and they both saw the greed in each other's eyes.

Chen Ping lowered his voice and said to Chen An: "Brother, we are really getting more and more addicted to doing this kind of thing. ”

Chen An nodded.

"Yes, brother. But it's just two of us, and our strength is still too thin. ”

Chen Ping smiled slightly.

"I have an idea, we can hire some people, give them money, and let them do it for us."

Chen An's eyes lit up.

"Good idea, so that our power will be stronger."

Initially, Chen An refused to do this.

But now he's got the sweetness.

So he's going to do it now.

And this was expected by his brother Chen Ping.

Chen Ping knew his younger brother well, so he knew that he would eventually agree.

So, they began to look around for reliable people and bribe them with money.

Gradually, their team grew stronger and stronger, and they became the hegemon of Bei'an City.

Xi Yu is like a county order again, and his eyes are cold.

"Did you accept gifts from those people, so ......"

The county magistrate lowered his head and didn't dare to face the drama.

"Adult, small...... I really didn't take gifts from those people. ”

Xi Yu sneered.

"Hmph, do you think I'm going to take your word for it?"

The prefectural commander's face changed.

"My lord, I ...... I ...... "He was so stumbling that he couldn't come up with a reason."

The drama started filming.

"As a county magistrate, you derelict your duties and connived at thieves, I don't think you want to do it!"

The county magistrate was so frightened that he fell to his knees.

"The king spares his life! Small...... I know it's wrong, and I'm sure I won't do it again. ”

Xi Yu pondered for a moment.

"Well, now that you've recognized your mistake, I'll give you another chance. If there is a next time, it will be severely punished! ”

The county commander nodded hurriedly.

"Thank you, King! Thank you, King! A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Xi Yu stared at the county order like a torch.

The county commander lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Xi Yu's eyes, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Xi Yu said coldly: "County order, this case has been delayed for too long, and it must be cracked within three days, otherwise, don't blame this king for being unkind." ”

The county commander's heart trembled, but he still stubbornly said: "King, this case involves a wide range of clues, and there are few clues, and three days is too tight. ”

Xi Yu waved his hand impatiently and said, "No matter what difficulties you have, I just want the result." Rest assured, the king will send some soldiers to assist you, and you just have to be bold and do things. ”

The county commander nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, big king, the small one will do his best." ”

Xi Yu stood up and left.

The county magistrate behind him breathed a long sigh of relief, but his heart was even heavier.

At this time, the streets outside the county government were bustling with people coming and going. Xi Yu stood at the gate of the county office, looking at this lively scene, but his heart was full of worry.

The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and returned to the county office, and began to gather his officials and masters to prepare for an investigation.

He knew that these three days would be the most difficult three days of his life, but he also knew that only by solving this case could he keep his black hat and let the people live a peaceful life.

Xi Yu returned to the Qin family, his face was gloomy and his heart was full of worry.

Seeing Xi Yu's face, Qin Fushang's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly asked, "King, what's the situation?" ”

Xi Yu took a deep breath and said, "This king has already found a county order and ordered him to solve the case within three days. ”

Qin Fushang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good." The king is really dedicated to our rich businessmen in Bei'an, and the small one will express his gratitude to the king on behalf of all the rich businessmen in Bei'an. ”

Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "This is what this king should do." However, the king needs to be here for another three days. ”

Qin Fushang said, "Does the king have anything to do?" , the small one will arrange everything for the king. ”

Xi Yu sighed and said, "This king just misses my family, and if he is delayed here for three days, he will be even later to go home." ”

Qin Fushang said: "The king is really admirable for the people of Bei'an. I believe that the king's family will also understand the king's distress. ”

Xi Yu nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

At this time, Xi Yu's heart was already like an arrow. He now knows that Liu Xie is at his home, and if he can't go back for a long time, it is estimated that Liu Xie will miss him very much. Here are the snippets generated according to your needs, which you can adjust according to the actual situation.

In fact, Liu Xie really misses Xi Yu very much.

On this day, he was playing cards with Ouyang Linlin and others again, and Liu Xie said: "Count the days when Xi Yu should come back, why haven't you returned for a long time?" ”

Ouyang Linlin was also a little worried: "Yes, I also think it's a little strange, it stands to reason that it should have arrived." ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Maybe there is something delayed on the road, such as rain and the like." ”

Liu Xie's heart was filled with sorrow, and he sighed: "As long as Xi Yu is not here, I always feel like a lonely ghost. ”

Ouyang Linlin comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my husband will definitely come back, just live here with you, this is your home, you are welcome." ”

Sun Shangxiang also said: "Yes, maybe he will be there soon." Let's play cards first, don't think about it so much. ”

Liu Xie nodded and smiled reluctantly: "Okay, let's continue to play cards." ”

They sat around the table and started a new round of poker. Although they were still playing cards, everyone's minds were no longer on the cards, and they were silently praying that Xi Yu would return safely.

On this day, Gan Mei was coaxing the child, she was holding the a few months old drama Ping'an, and kept nagging: "Your father should be back soon." ”

The child did not understand anything, only giggled, and his eyes were bright and clear, like two twinkling stars.

A few maids saw that Gan Mei was having some difficulty holding the child, so they said that they could help hold the child, so that Mrs. Gan would not be too tired.

"Madam, you've been reporting for a long time, so leave it to us."

Gan Mei said: "It doesn't matter, I am willing to hold the child." Her voice was gentle but firm, full of maternal love.

Gan Mei held the child while shaking it gently, her eyes always falling on the child, as if only the child was the most important thing in this world.

At this time, the sunlight shines through the window in the room, illuminating the child's smiling face and warming Ganmei's heart.

After a while, Gan Mei suddenly looked at a few maids.

"You guys have been following me lately, and you're at the age to talk about marriage, right?"

As soon as she said this, several maids immediately became shy, and at the same time they all lowered their heads and moved in unison, as if they had been professionally trained.

"Why should you be shy when a man is married and a woman is married? If you find a suitable one, please let me know. ”

A maid immediately said, "No, madam, we are not married, we are willing to serve you for the rest of our lives."

"What stupid are you talking about? How can you not marry? Don't say that again. ”

Gan Mei also realized that once Xi Yu made a difference in the future, then the affairs of this family would probably fall on him, and he had to worry about such a small thing.

Only by doing these little things well can Xi Yu deal with some big things without distraction.

"Ma'am, we really haven't thought about it now. If we do meet the right person, we'll let you know." A maid hurriedly said.

Gan Mei nodded, indicating that this was right. (End of chapter)
