But there are no impermeable walls in the world.

This matter is still not far away.

The voices of the people were surging like a tidal wave.

"Did you hear that? Jia Xu was rescued."

"Needless to say, this must be related to Xi Yucheng."

"That's right, it's reasonable for Xi Yu to do this, but his methods are too bad, he actually killed so many officials."

The morning sun shines brightly on the lively streets, and the stone pavements are illuminated.

Wen Xuan had the idea of buying the four treasures of the study, and hurriedly walked through the bustling crowd.

"Have you heard? Jia Xu was rescued, it must have something to do with it!"

"That's it, his methods are terrible, and he has killed a lot of officials!"

Wen Xuan stopped abruptly as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face was full of shock.

Her heart was turbulent, and the image of Xi Yu in her heart collapsed instantly.

Unable to accept such baseless accusations, she shouted angrily, "How can you talk nonsense without evidence!"

The other party did not show weakness, and one of them retorted in a strong tone, "Hmph, everyone said so, then it must be him!"

Wen Xuan's voice trembled with anger, she pointed at those people, and said sharply, "Anyone will say empty words, you are spreading rumors and slander!"

The emotions of several people were also ignited instantly, and they surrounded them and confronted Wen Xuan-for-tat.

"What we say is the truth!"

"You talk to him like this, do you have anything to do with him?"

"Even if he's the prime minister, I'm going to speak."

Wen Xuan's chest rose and fell violently, and her voice became higher and higher.

"Vexatious! You're just speculating without any evidence!"

The quarrel grew louder and louder, echoing through the streets like thunder, causing the surrounding people to stop and watch, and the originally noisy street suddenly became silent.

The few who spoke suddenly felt that there was something inappropriate about such a discussion.

casually talking about the prime minister is a big crime after all.

They didn't raise the bar with Wen Xuan anymore, so they hurriedly ran away.

Wen Xuanqi's heart rose and fell, and his hands pinched his waist.

The sun was still shining, shining on the magnificent gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, reflecting a dazzling light.

Wen Xuan came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a huff, and she was going to buy the four treasures of the study, but she had completely forgotten it at this moment.

The soldiers guarding the gate learned that she had a good relationship with Xi Yu.

So he didn't stop her, and just let her in.

In the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong were taking a leisurely walk, enjoying this quiet time.

"Hey, Wenxuan, why did you come here in a huff?" Ouyang Linlin asked curiously.

"I heard something about Xi Yu on the street, and I was so angry that I forgot to buy the four treasures of the study." Wen Xuan's brows furrowed tightly.

Little Red said, "What's the matter? Makes you angry like this."

Wen Xuan then told the rumors he had heard on the street.

"How is this possible? The prime minister is not such a person." Ouyang Linlin said in surprise.

"yes, how can you just talk nonsense without evidence." Xiaohong also chimed in.

"I wouldn't believe in such a thing, so I must meet the Prime Minister now."

Next, Wen Xuan didn't talk to them anymore, but walked quickly towards Xi Yu's room.

In the room, Xi Yu's brows were tightly knit, and his heart was painfully entangled.

He knew that Jia Xu had to die, but at the same time he was sad that he was about to lose this mouthpiece.

At this time, Wen Xuan walked in angrily.

Xi Yu looked at her, showing a hint of surprise, not understanding why she was so angry.

"Xi Yu, you know what, I heard it on the street

Something about you!" Wen Xuan said angrily.

Xi Yu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Wen Xuan recounted the rumors he had heard on the street, and Xi Yu was taken aback after hearing it.

"Someone actually rescued Jia Xu? What's going on?" There was shock in Xi Yu's voice.

Wen Xuan nodded.

"I don't know how, but I've never done anything like it!" Xi Yu's eyes were full of firmness and grievances.

Wen Xuan looked at him, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.

"I believe in you, Xi Yu. We must find out the truth and give you a clear name." Wen Xuan said.

Xi Yu nodded.

"Thank you for telling me about this."

"I had a fight with someone about this."

Wen Xuan also talked about the quarrel with others.

"Okay, I'll investigate this matter, you better go shopping."

Wen Xuan had no choice but to leave.

Xi Yu's thoughts are surging like a tide.

Ouyang Linlin quickly walked into the room.

Her steps were firm and eager.

"Husband, I absolutely believe in you, there must be something strange in this."

"Did someone deliberately frame me?" There was a hint of doubt and uneasiness in Xi Yu's voice.

Ouyang Linlin nodded and said, "Very likely."

Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll call someone to call Wang Liang now and ask him if he knows anything about the situation."

As he spoke, he immediately sent someone to summon Wang Liang.

Wang Liang sat alone in the study, his heart was heavy, and his heart was full of pain and helplessness.

"Why is it so hard for me to just want to be a good official?" He sighed to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and frustration.

Just then, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Then the voice of the official came: "My lord, the prime minister has sent someone to pass you over."

Wang Liang's heart tightened, and he didn't know whether he was going to be evil or lucky.

"Got it." He slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and said helplessly.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the door with heavy steps.

Wang Liang stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, his face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water.

And waiting for him in the study, his face was also ugly, as if he was shrouded in a dark cloud.

In the study, both of them had tense faces.

Xi Yu stared at Wang Liang and asked in a serious tone, "Wang Liang, what's going on with Jia Xu? Didn't you already know? Why don't you report it to me?"

Wang Liang's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Then he slowly raised his head and replied in a low voice, "Prime Minister, Xia Guan has just learned the news that Jia Xu was rescued. I really haven't received any reports on this before."

But he was slandering in his heart, obviously you saved people, but you still pretended to reprimand me.

It just doesn't make sense.

Wang Liang sighed helplessly: "Xia Guan doesn't know why this situation happened. If the subordinate is guilty, please punish the prime minister."

After saying this, Wang Liang knelt down.

The sun shines on the lively streets, people come and go, and the noise is endless.

Su Yu walked hurriedly.

"The prime minister has returned, and I have to go to him quickly to discuss the matter of starting a newspaper." Su Yu pondered.

As he walked, he unconsciously heard the people around him talking about Xi Yu.

Su Yu listened to these discussions, and a very surprised expression appeared on his face.

"How so? How could a prime minister do such a thing?" He thought to himself.

Su Yu came to the door of Xi Yu's room.

At a glance, he saw Wang Liang kneeling on the ground, his head bowed, and his body trembling slightly.

Su Yu was taken aback, and his steps were involuntarily

The ground stopped.

Xi Yu sat on the chair with a gloomy face.

He glanced at Su Yu and said slowly, "Su Yu, let's talk about the newspaper later, I haven't had time to take care of this matter recently."

His voice was calm with a hint of weariness.

Su Yu looked at the serious scene in front of him, and his heart was nervous.

He nodded hurriedly and said softly, "Okay, Prime Minister, then I won't bother for now."

With that, he cautiously retreated and gently closed the door.

In the room, there was silence, only the slight breathing of Wang Liang and the occasional sigh of Xi Yu.

Xi Yu's eyes were like torches, staring at Wang Liang tightly, and asked, "Do you think I sent someone to rescue Jia Xu?"

Wang Liang hurriedly kowtowed, and replied with sincere fear: "My subordinates don't dare, my subordinates never have such thoughts."

Xi Yu snorted coldly and continued to criticize, "But that's what you must think in your heart! Now there is a lot of talk on the streets, and there are different opinions."

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Wang Liang's forehead, and his voice was firm: "Great Prime Minister, your subordinates are loyal to you, and they have no second thoughts. The subordinates have a clear conscience, and those gossips are really beyond the control of the subordinates."

At this time, Wang Liang was happy.

Listening to Xi Yu say this, things may really have nothing to do with him.

In this way, you don't have to feel your conscience uneasy.

Xi Yu looked at Wang Liang and said solemnly, "Wang Liang, I want you to investigate the truth of this matter, and also return my innocence."

Wang Liang immediately responded: "Don't worry, your lordship, your subordinates will also send people outside to arrest those who talk nonsense."

However, Xi Yu raised his hand to stop him, and said in a calm tone: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, let others say what they like."

When Wang Liang heard this, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He bowed deeply and said respectfully, "Your Excellency understands the righteousness, and your subordinates' admiration for your Lordship has increased a little."

Wang Liang returned to Xianyang.

In the county office, the officials sat around and asked Wang Liang, who had just returned, with concern.

"My lord, did the prime minister put small shoes on you?"

Wang Liang frowned, shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it doesn't look like Xi Yu rescued people."

As soon as the words fell, several officials immediately retorted: "My lord, you are just too simple, you must have been deceived by the prime minister!"

Wang Liang straightened up and said with a serious face, "Now this county must investigate the truth of the matter, and everyone should stop talking nonsense."

The chatter of the crowd gradually subsided.

After Wen Xuan finished shopping, he returned to Youzhou Academy.

The sun was shining, and the courtyard of the college was lined with greenery, and the breeze rustled the leaves.

Wen Xuan held the four treasures of the study, and his steps were heavy.

There was still a very unhappy look on his face.

Lu Su was strolling in the courtyard and met her by chance, and asked with concern, "Teacher Wenxuan, why do you look so sullen?" Did something happen?"

It just so happened that Dongfanghong was also passing by here and came over with concern.

Wen Xuan frowned, and told the outside world everything about Xi Yu.

After hearing this, Lu Su's face became very angry.

He said, "The prime minister would never be that kind of person! Although I have not been in contact with him for a long time, I know his character."

Wen Xuan listened to Lu Su's words and felt very moved in his heart.

Dongfang Hong also nodded and comforted, "The matter will definitely come to light. At present, everyone is talking about it, and it is very normal. Don't worry too much."

Wen Xuan returned to the office and sat down in his chair tiredly, and Dongfang Hong then walked in.

Wen Xuan looked at Dongfang Hong and said softly, "Dongfang Hong, go and comfort Xi Yu."

Dongfang Hong frowned and replied, "I don't think this is necessary

Yes."

Wen Xuan couldn't help but feel that Dongfang Hong was a little ruthless, her eyes widened, and she responded, "He needs the support and comfort of his friends now."

Dongfang Hong shook his head and said in a firm tone, "I can't help if I go, this matter should be handed over to the county order to investigate."

Wen Xuan's face was full of anger, and he argued with Dongfang Hong with emotion.

At this time, the sunlight in the office also seemed to become restless, constantly jumping on the two of them.

Dongfanghong clasped his hands to his chest and insisted on his own point of view.

"Just because I can't really help, doesn't mean I'm ruthless."

At this time, Lu Su walked in.

He frowned and persuaded, "Don't quarrel, what you both said makes sense, let's calm down first."

However, Wenxuan is still very emotional.

Tears flashed in her eyes, accusing Dongfang Hong of indifference.

Seeing this, Lu Su glanced at Dongfang Hong and motioned for him to leave first.

Then he comforted Wen Xuan softly, telling her not to get too excited.

Dongfang Hong looked at Wen Xuan's excited appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "A woman is really a very emotional animal."

He silently walked under the willow tree in the courtyard and thought quietly.

The breeze blows softly, and the willow branches sway, as if to tell something.

Dongfang Hong's mood was a little sad, and he secretly thought to himself: "If I encountered such a thing myself, would Wenxuan care about me?"

After a while, Wen Xuan finally thought about it, she came to the willow tree, walked to Dongfang Hong's side, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive just now."

Dongfang Hong sighed, looked at Wen Xuan, and did not speak.

Wen Xuan felt a little strange, didn't the other party forgive him?

She couldn't help but ask, "Are you still mad at me?"

At this time, Dongfanghong raised that question again.

"If something happened to me, would you care about me?"

Wen Xuan looked at him a little helplessly, feeling that he had too many things, how could he be so cranky.

She shook her head and said, "Why do you always struggle with this kind of problem?"

Next, she left angrily.

After pondering for a moment, Xi Yu decisively called his subordinates and ordered solemnly, "Immediately post an announcement to clarify that Jia Xu's matter has nothing to do with me. Now, I will personally investigate. But whoever finds out who rescued him will be punished severely."

He knew that the people were talking about him, but he didn't want to think too much about it. Because he firmly believes in his innocence, and the pure man is self-purifying.

And it must also be written in the proclamation that the people can discuss, but they are innocent.

He then sent his men to the street quickly and posted the notice in a conspicuous place.

In the streets and alleys, people gathered around, curiously reading the text on the bulletin.

The sun shines brightly on the announcement.

On the bustling street, a group of people gathered in front of the announcement.

They may be talking to each other, or they may be silent and thoughtful.

"Maybe it really has nothing to do with the prime minister." An old man said slowly.

"I see, he's putting on a show!" A young man shouted, his tone full of suspicion.

On the other side, several women were also whispering.

"The prime minister is usually quite upright, but this time he may have really been wronged." One of them said.

"But who knows, people's hearts are unpredictable." Another woman said.

Xi Yu turned his head to the people around him and ordered, "Go to the guest room and tell Mrs. Jia that her husband has been rescued, so that she doesn't have to make trouble here. As for who the rescuer is, it has nothing to do with me."

In the guest room, after Mrs. Jia heard the news, she frowned in disbelief.

"Did he really say that?" There was a hint of doubt in her voice.

The soldier nodded and replied respectfully, "Yes, ma'am."

Mrs. Jia was silent for a moment, but finally decided to leave the place.

She walked out the door and out into the street.

On the noisy streets, people are talking.

Only then did she know that what Xi Yu said was true

Mrs. Jia quickly returned to the house, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard the servants of the house also talking about it.

"Madame is back." The servants stopped talking and looked at Mrs. Jia.

Mrs. Jia frowned and asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"

The butler hurriedly greeted him and comforted him softly, "Madam, don't be sad. Outside it is said that the prime minister has rescued the master, but for the sake of face, he can't admit it."

Mrs. Jia nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

"Butler, you have a very reasonable analysis."

Because Mrs. Jia also thought that it would be like this, so her heart felt a lot better.

When she returned to her room, the butler came to her side again.

"Madam, I heard that you knelt down in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday?"

Mrs. Jia nodded.

"Ma'am, you really don't have to do that."

Mrs. Jia thought to herself, she had already done it.

What's the use of talking about that now?

"But butler, are you sure that the prime minister rescued the master?"

The housekeeper said he couldn't confirm it, but he felt that it would be like this.

"But what if things don't work out that way?"

Mrs. Jia still felt a little panicked.

"All right, ma'am, don't think about it so much. If it is true that the prime minister saved the master, it is estimated that the master will be incognito."

"It doesn't matter, just make sure Grandpa survives." Mrs. Jia said.

Mrs. Jia suddenly felt her heart numb again.

"Alright, butler, if there's nothing to do, you can get out of the way."

The butler withdrew, and when he came into the hallway, he sighed.

He was just comforting his wife just now, but he didn't know what it was.

However, no matter what, it is a good thing that the master was rescued.
