We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Zhou Yu and others were still immersed in the joy of talking and laughing.

After a while, the rain finally stopped. Zhou Yu asked the soldier to open the door and smelled the fresh air outside.

Zhou Yu continued to smile, but suddenly his face darkened.

Because he saw that Mao Dacheng had disappeared in the yard.

"Hey, where is Mao Dacheng?"

At this time, a few soldiers looked outside and saw that the yard was really empty.

Many people ran to the yard to see what was going on. Mao Dacheng's body was tied up and it was impossible for him to escape from here.

But some soldiers said that maybe he could get out by jumping up and down.

However, if that were the case, there would be deep footprints on the ground.

So everyone started looking for footprints, and they actually found footprints.

But it didn't look like he was jumping away, which meant he was rescued.

Zhou Yu yelled.

"It's so unreasonable that I actually fell into other people's ways."

Several soldiers also became upset. They really didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

Zhou Yu became anxious now. He couldn't complete the task of the actor. What should he do?

Seeing the soldier standing there, he said angrily: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and look for it?".

The soldiers began to search around quickly, but after searching for a long time, there was no result.

Zhou Yu was quite helpless, with an ups and downs expression on his face, and finally decided to go back for the time being.

Xi Yu saw at the city gate that Chen Qiang had closed his eyes due to the heavy rain, probably because he had caught a cold.

So I asked the soldier to take a look, and it was indeed the case.

Gradually, after the rain, the sky cleared up, and many people came to the street again to watch the excitement.

They also hope that Mao Dacheng can come here quickly.

After a while, I saw Zhou Yu arriving on horseback with a few soldiers.

Xi Yu saw Zhou Yu looking very depressed at the city gate, and Mao Dacheng was not present.

He was stunned for a moment. Could it be that Mao Dacheng was not found?

This shouldn't be possible.

"Zhou Yu, what's going on?" Xi Yu shouted loudly.

Zhou Yu got off the horse, knelt down directly to Xi Yu in front of everyone, and told what happened.

"What did you say, you actually let him run away?"

"The subordinate is guilty, please punish the subordinate."

At the same time, Zhou Yu took off all the armor and iron hat.

He walked down from the tower in a playful manner, and then pointed at Zhou Yu angrily.

"Really, I can't handle such a small thing. I've obviously caught the person, but I let him run away."

Although Mao Dacheng can't make any trouble now, but once he is allowed to run away, who knows what evil moths he will cause.

Wouldn't it mean that all the people would suffer?

Many people also pointed at Zhou Yu.

But Xi Yu knew that Zhou Yu's attitude towards pleading guilty was also very clear.

When Zhou Yu knelt down, many soldiers also knelt down.

Xiyu waved his hand.

"Okay, everyone, get up, Zhou Yu. I'll let you remember this first. You must find opportunities to make up for your mistakes in the future."

Zhou Yu's tears flowed down.

"Thank you, Mr. Xi, for your love."

Xi Yu said coldly to Chen Qiang, "It seems we have to let this beast live a few more hours."

Xi Yu continued to ask Zhou Yu and others to quickly find Mao Dacheng.

Chen Qiang had already passed out. Xi Yu asked the soldiers to wake him up quickly and then continue to torture him.

Not only Zhou Yu and others went to find Mao Dacheng, but Xi Yu also sent out secret guards, but they were not confident that they could find him smoothly.

At this moment, Mao Dacheng had been taken to an underground wine cellar by the man.

Wang Dacheng felt a little uncomfortable all over, and even felt a little unconscious for a while.

The man shook his body and opened his eyes slightly. Everything in front of him seemed blurry.

But he knew that he had been saved by someone, so he quickly asked: "Who are you?"

"Mao Dacheng, as an emperor, although you have not done well, the good people have complained, but I hope that the entire Fangjun will maintain its orthodoxy. No, it should not be called Fangjun, it should be called Fangguo."

"Thank you for saving me. As for who I am, you don't need to know. You can recuperate with me for the time being. After the injury is healed, I will let you out, but it depends on you whether you can recover. That’s it.”

Mao Dacheng nodded, and finally passed out completely due to lack of physical strength.

At the same time, Xi Yu began to issue another reward announcement.

Anyone who can get the information about Mao Dacheng and let the soldiers capture Mao Dacheng will be heavily rewarded.

In an instant, the news spread throughout Fang County.

In a wine shop, two people were discussing this matter.

"Have you heard? As long as you find Mao Dacheng, you can make a fortune."

"Of course I heard about this news, but given the prerequisites, how could we find it so smoothly? So, it's better not to daydream."

On the other side, in Youzhou, Xiaohong walked into Ouyang Linlin's room.

Seeing that Ouyang Linlin still looked like she didn't think about food or food.

"Miss, are you still angry about the actor?"

"Of course, we were already married, but now he hasn't come back yet."

"Miss, do you know? Something happened over there in Fang County."

Ouyang Linlin knew nothing about this. He only knew that Xi Yu went to collect medicine for Gan Mei.

And when Xiaohong went shopping today, she heard that someone was talking in the wine shop, saying that Xiyu went to Fangjun.

The well water in Fang County was poisoned, and countless people were killed and injured.

"Oh my god, how could this happen?"

At this moment, Ouyang Linlin's hatred for Xi Yu completely disappeared.

"So, miss, don't blame the actor. He is a good official after all. He only cares about the people."

Ouyang Linlin also remembered that the reason why she misunderstood Xi Yu at first but later developed a liking for him was because he loved the people like a son, wasn't it?

Although he won a lot of territory, seemingly for his own selfish reasons, he did regard the local people as his relatives.

"So that's what happened. If that's the case, there's no harm in getting married a few days later. However, this poisonous person is too despicable and shameless."

"Yes, miss, although I don't understand this, I heard everyone talking about it, saying that the original emperor of Fang State, Mao Dacheng, probably had an important relationship with him."

After a while, the two women heard sounds coming from outside.

"You are too stupid."

This is exactly Ouyang Fu's voice.

They quickly went to the window to look, and it turned out that the housekeeper was learning to ride a bicycle in the yard and fell down.

Ouyang Fu said: "I have been studying for several days, why are you so stupid?"

"Master, maybe it has something to do with my being fat?"

"That's nonsense. This requires skill. What does it have to do with being fat or thin?"

Both women laughed.

Ouyang Linlin said: "Would you like to learn it too?"

Xiaohong shook her head. She said she was very scared.

It was already dark, and Zhou Yu came back disgraced.

Said that Mao Dacheng's whereabouts had not been found.

The secret guards also appeared. They said that they failed to take precautions about the well water incident last time, and they also hoped that Xiyu would punish them this time.

But Xi Yu was extremely tolerant of the secret guards, saying that they might not be able to check every corner.

Although this county is small, it cannot cover every corner.

But Zhou Yu must be guilty, because at that time, he was only talking and laughing with the soldiers before letting the big fish go.

Zhou Yu didn't have any complaints about this.

Let Xi Yu punish himself.

"Okay, I've already said it, so I'll write it down for you for now. I'll make up for it when I get the chance."

As for private rewards, Xi Yu doesn't have any hope.

The next day, a whole morning passed, and no one came to provide clues.

Another day passed, and Xi Yu asked Liu Bei to tell him about the bad incident in the well water in the morning.

If someone is rude to the people again, the consequences will be disastrous.

Although Fangjun is no longer a country, the daily morning court system still exists.

The dragon chair has not been changed, and Liu Bei sits on the top every day.

At this moment, no one noticed that there was a thick screen behind the dragon chair.

Xi Yu was sitting on a chair behind the screen.

And this screen is also specially made.

It was Xi Yu who was sitting on some glass that imitated the previous life.

Xiyu can see everyone through the screen, but everyone can't see him.

Xi Yu was observing the expressions of each minister, because he thought that if the man behind the scenes was really Mao Dacheng, many people would probably conspire.

Among this group of ministers, it is inevitable that some people will be nostalgic and still remember Mao Dacheng in their hearts.

No matter how bad Mao Dacheng is, there are still people who like him.

Today, the reason why he arranged for Liu Bei to talk about the well water incident was to bring this sensitive topic to the surface.

This allows you to observe well.

After a while, he made a discovery.

He felt that several ministers were quite suspicious.

After the morning meeting, Liu Bei and Xi Yu ate together.

Liu Bei said in fear.

"Master Xi, my subordinate has already told you about this matter in the morning as per your request. I wonder if you have discovered anything?"

"Xuande, let me ask you, have you noticed anything wrong with anyone?"

When Liu Bei was about to speak, Xi Xiyu waved his hand.

"How about we stop talking and write down our suspicions on paper?"

Liu Bei hummed, and quickly took out a pen and paper. The two of them were very far apart, and then he wrote down all the people he suspected on it.

After a while, the two people checked. Liu Bei wrote three and Xi Yu wrote five.

Moreover, these three lists written by Liu Bei are completely included in Xi Yu's list.

Liu Bei was taken aback and said, "Master Xiu, you are more accurate."

"I just have some suspicions. I can't actually confirm it yet. But we can start with these people."

Xi Yu specifically pointed to the three words Fang Zhongyuan written on the paper.

"It is estimated that this matter has a lot to do with this person."

But Xi Yu told Liu Bei to keep quiet about this matter for now.

"Master Xi, I understand."

In the past few days, the well water has returned to normal, and the people's resentment towards Xi Yu has finally been eliminated.

They now especially hate those behind the scenes.

But Xi Yu believed that he would not leave Fangjun until the truth about this matter was found out.

He thought about what happened with Ouyang Linlin again. The wedding day had passed, and he could only choose an auspicious day again.

Perhaps Ouyang Linlin would resent herself, but he must not delay the people's affairs for the sake of personal feelings.

While he was thinking, Zhou Yu came to the door with a very happy look on his face.

"Master Xi, now my subordinate has made a new discovery."

"Come in and talk."

Zhou Yu said that he did not find Mao Dacheng, but he saw a person in a tavern, who was probably the old Taoist priest that day.

Xiyu's eyes lit up, this was also a surprising discovery.

Let Zhou Yu tell you what happened.

Zhou Yu said that a soldier had trouble at home some time ago, so he went home early.

I happened to be returning home from vacation today, but I got hungry on the way, so I found a restaurant to eat.

There happened to be an old man drinking in a corner, and he got drunk after a while.

The waiter asked him for money, but he refused to give it. He even scolded the waiter, claiming that he was favored by Mao Dacheng. If you offend yourself, the consequences will be disastrous.

The old man beat the waiter and prepared to leave.

The soldier took action decisively, took a wooden stick, and wounded the old man.

Then let the waiter temporarily control the old man.

After a while, he will come again.

The waiter in the shop was naturally very grateful to him.

The soldier said: "This old man may be the old Taoist priest. Because he once said that he would make money just by talking about Mao Dacheng. This was also a wild talk made after drinking, but at least it may prove to be true."

Xi Yu was overjoyed and said to Zhou Yu: "In that case, take me there quickly."

At the same time, he told Zhou Yu that if this matter was completed, it would be regarded as Zhou Yu's fault.

Zhou Yu was very happy and immediately took Xi Yu there.

And the soldier was already waiting at the entrance of the palace.

Zhou Yu said: "Hurry and lead the way."

The soldier was also full of joy. If this matter really came to pass, then he would be able to show his face in front of Xi Yu.

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant.

The waiter in the shop was filled with joy when he saw the soldiers leaving and returning.

The soldier immediately told him the identities of Zhou Yu and Xi Yu.

The soldier was shocked. He didn't expect such a distinguished person to come to the store.

Because of his excitement, he quickly knelt down and saluted.

Xi Yu told him that there was no need to be so polite, and now he wanted to see the old man quickly.

"Well, please two noble men come with me."

The waiter took them to a house in the backyard.

The old man was lying on the ground, and the waiter had already tied him up with a rope.

At this moment, the waiter kicked him hard, finally making the old man wake up.

He shivered for a while, and finally realized that his body had been tied up with ropes.

"Hey, let me go."

By this time, he had basically sobered up.

The waiter said: "You owe us the wine money, when will you pay it back?"

When the old man was about to speak, he suddenly realized that there were two strangers here.

He was suddenly stunned. He was drunk. Did he say something he shouldn't have said?

Zhou Yu kicked him.

"Tell me, why don't you give me money for drinks?"

"Who are you two? Even if I don't give you money for drinks, what does it have to do with you?"

Xi Yu said: "Tell him our identities directly."

Zhou Yu felt a little baffled.

Why tell him the truth? In this case, wouldn't he not tell the truth out of fear?

Xi Yu roughly knew what he was thinking, so he said, "It doesn't matter, just tell him."

When Zhou Yu revealed Xi Yu's identity, the old man trembled with fear.

But he immediately put on a smile,

"It turns out to be the actor. But, actor, I really didn't bring any money today. I will definitely ask someone to send it to me. I didn't expect that this little thing actually moved the actor's heart."

"You are too confident, thinking that just for this little thing, you should understand what is going on in your heart."

Now Xi Yu is not sure whether he is really the old Taoist priest.

But now he had to be frightened.

Sure enough, the old man felt a little unnatural, and then showed a calm look.

"Master Xiu, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Xi Yu asked the waiter to remove the rope from the old man.

The waiter had no choice but to do this.

Xi Yu said: "I advise you to tell me everything you have done now."

The old man said that he was wronged and he did nothing.

"It seems that if I don't punish you properly, you won't say anything."

Xi Yu told Zhou Yu to put the old man on the street and then call some people over to see if everyone knows him.

After he said this, he could feel the obvious panic on the old man's face.

When Zhou Yu went to arrest the old man, the old man said: "Player, what do you mean? Even if I don't give you money, you shouldn't humiliate me in such a public way."

But Zhou Yu was already like an eagle catching a chicken, so he grabbed his body and was about to take him to the street.

The waiter felt confused and asked Xi Yu, what on earth was going on?

"Did you know that after the well water incident, some old Taoist priests once lobbied on the streets."

The soldier said that although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he seemed to have vaguely heard of it.

"Master Xiu, is it possible that this old man is the old Taoist priest?"

"It's not completely confirmed yet, but it's a possibility, so we have to take this approach."

Zhou Yu asked the soldier leading the way to find some people.

I can't believe that no one knows him.

Xi Yu came out and said, "It's better to throw him to the tower and let him and Chen Qiang become companions."

Zhou Yu did the same. (End of chapter)
