The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 584 Getting more and more excited
But there is no airtight wall in the world.

This thing is still spreading like wildfire.

People's comments surged like a tide.

"Have you heard? Jia Xu was rescued."

"It goes without saying that this must be related to Xi Yucheng."

"Yes, it is reasonable for Xi Yu to do this, but his methods are too bad. He actually killed so many government officials."

The early morning sunlight shines brightly on the busy street, making the stone pavement shine brightly.

Wenxuan hurriedly walked among the bustling crowd with the idea of ​​buying the four treasures of the study.

"Have you heard? Jia Xu was rescued, it must be the Prime Minister's fault!"

"That's right, his methods are very bad and he even killed many government officials!"

Wenxuan stopped suddenly as if struck by lightning, with a look of shock on his face.

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

She could not accept such baseless accusations and shouted angrily: "How can you talk nonsense without evidence!"

The other party didn't show any weakness, and one of them retorted in a strong tone: "Humph, everyone said that, then it must be him!"

Wenxuan's voice trembled with anger. She pointed her finger at those people and said sternly: "Everyone can say empty words. You are spreading rumors and slander!"

The emotions of several people were instantly ignited. They gathered around and confronted Wenxuan tit for tat.

"We are telling the truth!"

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

"Even if he is the prime minister, I still have to speak."

Wenxuan's chest rose and fell violently, and her voice became louder and louder.

"It's unreasonable! You are just making random guesses without any basis!"

The quarrel became louder and louder, reverberating on the street like thunder, causing people around to stop and watch, and the originally noisy street suddenly became silent.

The few people who were speaking suddenly felt that such discussion was inappropriate.

After all, casually talking about the Prime Minister is a serious crime including beheading.

They stopped arguing with Wenxuan and ran away.

Wenxuan's heart heaved with anger, and he pinched his waist with his hands.

The sun was still bright, shining on the grand door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, reflecting dazzling light.

Wenxuan came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion angrily. She was originally going to buy the Four Treasures of the Study, but now she had completely forgotten about it.

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

So he didn't stop her and let her in directly.

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

"Hey, Wenxuan, why are you so angry and come here?" 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." Wenxuan frowned tightly.

Xiaohong said: "What happened? It makes you so angry."

Wenxuan then recounted the rumors he heard on the street.

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

"That's right, how can you just talk without evidence." Xiao Hong also agreed.

"I won't believe such a thing, so I must see the Prime Minister now."

Next, Wenxuan stopped talking to them and walked quickly towards Xiyu's room.

In the room, Xi Yu frowned, 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, Wenxuan walked in angrily.

Xiyu looked at her with a hint of surprise, not understanding why she was so angry.

"Xi Yu, you know, I heard something about you on the street!" Wenxuan said angrily.

Xi Yu's heart tightened and he quickly asked: "What's going on?"

Wenxuan told the rumors he heard on the street, and Xiyu was shocked after hearing it.

"Someone actually rescued Jia Xu? What happened?" Xi Yu's voice was full of shock.

Wenxuan nodded.

"I don't know what happened, but I have never done anything like this!" Xi Yu's eyes were full of determination and grievance.

Wenxuan looked at him, and the anger in his heart gradually calmed down.

"I believe you, Xi Yu. We must find out the truth and restore your innocence." Wenxuan said.

Xiyu nodded.

"Thank you for telling me this."

"I had a quarrel with someone just now because of this matter."

Wenxuan also told about the quarrel with others.

"Okay, I will investigate this matter, you should go shopping."

Wenxuan had no choice but to leave.

Xiyu's thoughts surged like a tide.

Ouyang Linlin quickly walked into the room.

Her steps were firm and eager.

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

"Did someone deliberately frame me?" Xi Yu's voice was filled with doubts and uneasiness.

Ouyang Linlin nodded and said, "It's very possible."

Xi Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to ask someone to call Wang Liang and ask him if he knows what's going on."

With that said, he immediately sent someone to summon Wang Liang.

Wang Liang sat alone in his study, feeling heavy and full of pain and helplessness.

"Why is it so difficult for me to just be a good official?" He sighed secretly, with a trace of confusion and frustration in his eyes.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Then the voice of a Yamen servant came: "Sir, the Prime Minister has sent someone to call you over."

Wang Liang's heart tightened, not knowing whether it would be bad or good to go.

"I know." He stood up slowly, straightened his clothes, and said helplessly.

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

When Wang Liang stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.

Xi Yu, who was waiting for him in the study, had an equally ugly face, as if 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? Did you already know about it? Why didn't you report it to me?"

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

Then he slowly raised his head and replied in a low voice: "Prime Minister, I have just learned the news that Jia Xu was rescued. It is true that I have not received any relevant reports before."

But he was cursing in his heart, even though it was you who rescued the person, you still pretended to scold me.

This is simply unreasonable.

Wang Liang sighed helplessly: "I don't know why this situation happened. I am guilty. Please punish me, Prime Minister."

After saying this, Wang Liang knelt down.

The sun shines on the busy street, people come and go, and the noise is endless.

Su Yu walked in a hurry.

"The Prime Minister has come back. I have to go to him quickly to discuss running the newspaper." Su Yu thought.

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

Su Yu listened to these discussions with a very surprised expression on his face.

"How could this happen? How could the 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 Liangzheng kneeling on the ground, his head lowered and his body trembling slightly.

Su Yu was suddenly startled and stopped involuntarily.

Xi Yu sat on the chair with a gloomy face.

He glanced at Su Yu and said slowly: "Su Yu, let's talk about running the newspaper later. I have no time to take care of it recently."

His voice was calm with a hint of exhaustion.

Su Yu looked at the serious scene in front of him and felt nervous.

He nodded quickly and said softly: "Okay, Prime Minister, I won't disturb you now."

After saying that, he carefully withdrew and closed the door gently.

The room was silent except for Wang Liang's slight breathing and Xi Yu's occasional sighs.

Xi Yu stared at Wang Liang with burning eyes and asked, "Do you think I sent someone to rescue Jia Xu?"

Wang Liang hurriedly kowtowed and replied with sincerity and fear: "I don't dare. I have absolutely no such idea."

Xi Yu snorted coldly and continued to criticize: "But that's what you must be thinking! Nowadays, there are a lot of discussions on the street, and there are different opinions." Wang Liang's forehead was dripping with beads of sweat, and his voice was firm: "Big Prime Minister, I am loyal to you and have no regrets. These rumors are beyond my control."

At this time, Wang Liang became happy.

From what Xi Yu said, maybe the matter really had nothing to do with him.

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

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

Wang Liang immediately responded: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, my subordinates will also send people outside to catch those who are making random comments."

However, Xi Yu raised his hand to stop him and said in a calm tone: "It is better to defend the people than to defend the river. Let others say what they want to say."

After hearing these words, Wang Liang's eyes flashed with admiration.

He bowed deeply and said respectfully: "Your Excellency understands the great righteousness, and my subordinates' admiration for Your Excellency has increased even more."

Wang Liang returned to Xianyang.

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

"Sir, did the Prime Minister give you some shoes?"

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

As soon as he finished speaking, several government officials immediately retorted: "Sir, you are too naive. You must have been deceived by the Prime Minister!"

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

Everyone's discussion gradually subsided.

After Wenxuan finished shopping, he returned to Youzhou College.

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

Wenxuan held the Four Treasures of the Study, his steps heavy.

There was still a very unhappy look on his face.

Lu Su was walking in the yard and met her by chance, and asked with concern: "Teacher Wenxuan, why do you look so depressed? What happened?"

It happened that Dongfang Hong also passed by here and came over with concern.

Wenxuan frowned and told everything about Xi Yu from the outside world.

After Lu Su heard this, his face became very angry.

He said: "The Prime Minister will never be this kind of person! Although I have not been in contact with him for a long time, I understand his character."

Wenxuan felt very moved after hearing Lu Su's words.

Dongfang Hong also nodded and comforted: "Things will definitely come to light. It's normal for everyone to be talking about it now. Don't worry too much."

Wenxuan returned to the office and sat on the chair tiredly. Dongfanghong walked in later.

Wenxuan looked at Dongfanghong and said softly: "Dongfanghong, go and comfort Xiyu."

Dongfang Hong frowned and replied, "I don't think it's necessary."

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

Dongfanghong shook his head and said firmly: "I can't help much if I go. This matter should be left to the county magistrate for investigation."

Wenxuan's face was full of anger, and he argued with Dongfang Hong emotionally.

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

Dongfanghong crossed her arms and insisted on her point of view.

"It's true that I can't help, but that doesn't mean I'm callous."

At this time, Lu Su walked in.

He frowned and persuaded: "Stop arguing. What both of you said is reasonable. It's better to calm down first."

However, Wenxuan is still very emotional.

Tears flashed in her eyes, accusing Dongfang Hong of being indifferent.

Seeing this, Lu Su winked at Dongfang Hong, signaling him to leave quickly.

Then he gently comforted Wenxuan and asked her not to be too excited.

Seeing Wenxuan's excitement, Dongfanghong couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Women are really very emotional animals."

He walked silently to the willow tree in the yard and began to think quietly.

The breeze blew gently, and the willow branches swayed, as if they were telling something.

Dongfang Hong felt a little sad, and he thought to himself: "If something like this happened to me, would Wenxuan care about me?"

After a while, Wenxuan finally thought about it. She came to the willow tree, walked to Dongfang Hong, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive just now."

Dongfanghong sighed, looked at Wenxuan, and said nothing.

Wenxuan felt a little strange. Didn't the other party still forgive him?
She couldn't help but ask: "Are you still angry with me?"

At this time, Dongfanghong raised the question again.

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

Wenxuan looked at him helplessly, feeling that he had too many things to do, how could he think so wildly.

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

Next, she left angrily.

After Xi Yu pondered for a moment, he decisively called his men and gave serious instructions: "Immediately post a notice to clarify that Jia Xu's matter has nothing to do with me. Now, I will also personally launch an investigation. As long as we can find out who it is. Those who seek rescue will be severely punished.”

He knew that the people were talking a lot about him, but he didn't want to care too much about it. Because he firmly believes in his innocence, and those who are innocent will become innocent themselves.

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

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

In the streets and alleys, people gathered around and curiously read the words on the announcement.

The sun shines on the announcement, shining brightly.

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

They either whispered to each other or were silent and deep in thought.

"Maybe the matter really has nothing to do with the Prime Minister." An old man said slowly.

"I see, it's him who is putting on a show!" a young man shouted, his tone full of suspicion.

On the other side, several women were also talking in low voices.

"The Prime Minister is usually quite upright, but this time he might have been wronged," one of them said.

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

Xi Yu turned 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 does not have to make unreasonable troubles here. As for who the rescuer is, it has nothing to do with me."

In the guest room, Mrs. Jia frowned in doubt after hearing the news.

"He really said 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, and finally decided to leave.

She walked out of the room and onto the street.

On the noisy street, people were talking about it.

Only then did she realize that what Xi Yu said was true.

Mrs. Jia quickly returned home. As soon as she entered the door, she heard the servants at home discussing the matter.

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

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

The housekeeper hurriedly came over and comforted him softly: "Madam, don't be sad. People say that the prime minister has rescued the master, but he can't admit it because of his face."

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

"Butler, your analysis makes sense."

Because Mrs. Jia also thought it would be like this, she felt a lot better.

After returning to the room, the housekeeper came to her again.

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

Mrs. Jia nodded.

"Ma'am, you really don't need to do this."

Mrs. Jia thought, everything has been done.

What's the point of saying this now?
"But steward, are you sure it was the Prime Minister who rescued the master?"

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

"But what if things are not like this?"

Mrs. Jia still felt a little panicked.

"Okay, madam, don't think so much. If the prime minister really saved me, I guess I will keep my name anonymous."

"That doesn't matter, as long as we make sure that grandpa can survive." Mrs. Jia said.

Mrs. Jia suddenly felt upset again.

"Okay, butler, if there's nothing else, just exit first."

The housekeeper retreated, and when he came to the corridor, he sighed.

He was just comforting his wife, but he didn't know what was going on.

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