When the villagers heard this, they all showed joy on their faces and thanked him repeatedly.

Wang Xiaoer looked at Xiyu with admiration and said, "Your Excellency is indeed wise and powerful. We are relieved to have you make the decision for us."

Then, Xiyu asked the villagers to go back first, and he took Tuoba Yu and Wang Xiaoer to go directly to Nalizheng to ask him about the bridge repair in person.

The three of them walked towards the home of the village chief. Along the way, Xiyu's steps were firm and powerful, and he had already made a plan in his mind.

Xiyu came to the door of the village chief's house, raised his hand and knocked on the door, but he didn't hear a response.

After asking the neighbors next door, he learned that the village chief was not at home.

Xiyu frowned, thought for a moment, turned to Wang Xiaoer and said, "In this case, let's go to your house."

Wang Xiaoer nodded and agreed.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiyu couldn't help but look around, and then he found that Wang Xiaoer's family was really poor and had nothing.

Wang Xiaoer's mother heard the noise and came out from the inner room. Although she was old, she had a warm smile on her face. Seeing them coming, she hurriedly said, "Oh, guests are here. Welcome, come and sit down." Then she staggered to pour them water.

Xiyu hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang Xiaoer's mother and said in a gentle voice, "Auntie, please don't be busy. We are not thirsty."

Wang Xiaoer's mother smiled and waved her hands, saying, "No, no, I'm happy that you can come."

Xiyu looked at this kind and enthusiastic old man, and a touch of emotion surged in his heart.

Wang Xiaoer looked at his mother Wang and said seriously, "Mom, they are big officials and have the power to deal with the affairs of the village head."

When Wang heard this, her face suddenly showed a look of astonishment, her eyes widened, full of disbelief, her mouth slightly open, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses. She said in a trembling voice.

"What? Xiaoer, how can you get involved with them to take care of this matter! This is not something we can just interfere with!"

As she spoke, Wang's face showed deep worry and blame.

She reached out and gently tapped Wang Xiaoer's forehead.

"You, you, why are you so confused? This kind of thing is not something we can take care of. What if we cause any trouble!"

Wang Xiaoer frowned and hurriedly explained: "Mom, it's okay, they are all fair people, we are just helping them, there will be no problem."

But Wang was still full of worries and kept muttering. For a while, the room was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Xiyu looked at the nervous and worried look of the old lady Wang, and quickly comforted her in a gentle voice: "Old man, don't be afraid, there is really no need to worry about anything."

Wang sighed helplessly, frowned, looked at Xiyu with doubts, and then asked: "What kind of official are you?"

Xiyu listened, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, smiled, but did not speak again, but his eyes revealed an elusive meaning.

That smile seemed to contain some mystery and deep meaning, which made Wang even more confused.

And Wang Xiaoer next to him had a serious face, and seemed to be thinking about how to deal with it next.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room became a little subtle.

Wang came back to her senses and quickly said enthusiastically: "Oh, I was just talking, come, drink some water."

As she said that, she quickly poured water and handed it to Xiyu with a kind smile on her face.

Afterwards, Wang patted the dust off her body and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go outside to feed the sheep." Then she turned around and hurriedly left the house.

After Wang left, Wang Xiaoer showed a trace of guilt on his face.

He lowered his head and said in a slightly low voice: "The reason why I stole things is actually to make my mother live a better life."

Xiyu looked at Wang Xiaoer with a serious expression, frowned slightly, and said seriously: "Wang Xiaoer, I know you are filial, but your behavior is absolutely unacceptable. It violates the law and morality. Don't do it again in the future."

Xiyu's eyes revealed firmness and majesty.

Wang Xiaoer raised his head, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, nodded heavily, bit his lip and said: "I know I was wrong, and I will never do such a thing again in the future." His face was full of sincerity and determination.

Then, Wang Xiaoer looked up at Xiyu, with a hint of doubt and uncertainty in his eyes, and asked softly: "Are you really a high-ranking official?"

His brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was trying to think about something, and then he continued, "My previous belief may have been just my guess, or it may be wrong."

After that, Wang Xiaoer bit his lip, a determined look appeared on his face, staring at Xiyu closely, and said firmly: "But no matter what, you must pretend to be a high-ranking official now, and you must scare that village head well!"

There was a hint of eagerness and expectation in his eyes, as if all his hopes were placed on Xiyu.

Xiyu was slightly startled after hearing this, and then looked at Wang Xiaoer thoughtfully, without answering immediately.

Wang Xiaoer looked at Xiyu, his eyes sparkling, with a flattering smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Hey, you really look like a high-ranking official like this."

After that, he couldn't help but nodded, as if he was very sure of his judgment.

At this time, Tuoba Yu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

Her eyes were curved into crescent moons, her face was full of teasing expression, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks when she smiled.

Xi Yu looked at the two of them helplessly, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, stop teasing me."

But there was also a hint of imperceptible smile in his eyes.

After a while, Mrs. Wang hurried into the house after feeding the sheep. With a little apology on her face, she said as she walked in: "Oh, there is really nothing at home to serve the two guests."

Her face was full of guilt, and she was wringing her hands in front of her.

Xi Yu quickly stood up, smiled and waved his hands, and said gently: "Auntie, don't say that, we don't mind, we are just sitting down and leaving."

He had a reassuring smile on his face and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Wang looked at Xi Yu, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Then you guys sit down for a while."

After saying that, he stood aside a little awkwardly, seeming to still feel a little embarrassed.

On the other side, there is a woman's house.

Li Zheng is in his forties and slightly stout.

He was wearing a dark brown robe with some signs of wear on the hem, and a black belt around his waist with a simple jade pendant inlaid on it.

Her hair was neatly tied on top of her head, fixed with a wooden hairpin, and a few strands of hair hung down by her ears.

Li Zheng was lazily leaning on the head of the bed, with a trace of contented blush on his face.

He looked at the woman beside him and said with a smile: "Baby, you are so beautiful, I can't stop."

The woman's silky long hair was scattered on the white pillowcase. Her skin was as delicate and smooth as suet white jade, and her delicate facial features looked even more charming at this time.

She turned her face slightly, with a shy smile on her lips, and scolded: "You are the only one with a sweet mouth."

There was a vague light in her eyes, as if she was still immersed in the joy just now.

Satozheng stretched out his hand and gently touched the woman's face, his eyes full of lust.

"Hey, what I said is true. You really made me lose my soul."

The woman nudged him and said, "Okay, stop talking so much."

As she spoke, she stretched lazily, and her graceful figure made Li Zheng's eyes light up again.

The woman leaned lazily on the bedside, frowning slightly, with a hint of worry in her expression, and said softly: "My husband is going home from abroad soon. We can't fool around like this anymore in the past few days."

There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, and she gently pulled the quilt with one hand.

When Li Zheng heard this, his eyes widened immediately, a fierce look flashed across his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Huh, why not just kill your husband, so that we can always be together from now on?" ”

There was evil in his eyes.

"Absolutely not! This is impossible. If someone is killed, it will not end well!" There were beads of sweat on the woman's forehead, her hands kept waving, and she looked extremely nervous.

"Humph, what a timid woman." Li Zheng had a hint of disapproval and disgust on his face, and curled his lips slightly.

Then he shook his head as if he remembered something.

"However, it's really time for me to go." When he said this, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, he sighed softly, then raised his legs and walked towards the street.

He was walking struttingly on the street, and suddenly a second-rate man ran over in a hurry, with a flattering smile on his face.

The second-rate guy rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Oh my god, Mr. Satsuma, I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Li Zheng stopped, frowned, looked at him impatiently, and said sternly: "Why are you looking for me?"

The second-rate man quickly approached Li Zheng and said mysteriously: "Master Li Zheng, I have something to tell you..." There was a cunning look on his expression.

Li Zheng frowned and looked at the second-rate man in front of him, with a look of disgust on his face, and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, say it quickly! Don't waste my time!"

The second-rate man quickly smiled and said flatteringly: "Master Li Zheng, today Wang Xiaoer brought two people, a man and a woman. They looked like two high-ranking officials. They said they wanted to investigate you! Many villagers He also said that you embezzled money while building the bridge."

When Li Zheng heard this, his face turned red with anger, his eyes widened, veins popped out on his forehead, and he cursed loudly: "Fart! A bunch of ignorant and troublesome people! Whoever dares to go against me will have to pay the price!"

The second-rate son quickly echoed: "That's right, don't be angry, Mr. Li Zheng. Let me just say, how could Wang Xiaoer know the official? I guess he found two people to pretend to be. I am reporting to you because I am very loyal to you, Mr. Rizheng!"

He had a flattering look on his face, with a cunning glint in his eyes.

Li Zheng had a gloomy face. After listening to what the second-rater said, he slowly patted the second-rater's shoulder, a stiff smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and said: "Well, as long as you are loyal to me, there will be benefits. Of course, you are indispensable. But this Wang Xiaoer deserves to die, I will never let him go." When he said this, he gritted his teeth and puffed up his cheeks.

Then, Li Zheng frowned again, with doubts in his eyes, stared at the second-rate man and asked: "Are you sure those two people are not high officials?"

The second-rate guy nodded and bowed quickly, answering with a confident face: "They are definitely not high-ranking officials, Mr. Lizheng. Looking at their appearance, they look like just an ordinary couple."

After hearing this, the Lizheng nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

Then, his face became extremely ugly again. He bit his lips and walked forward angrily, muttering: "Hmph, Wang Xiaoer, wait for me..."

His steps were heavy and powerful, as if he was filled with endless anger.

In the slightly simple house, Xiyu and Tuoba Yu picked up the coarse porcelain bowl and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water.

After drinking the water, Xiyu gently put down the bowl, looked around, and then said calmly: "We should go."

When Wang heard this, an embarrassed look suddenly appeared on her face. She rubbed her hands and said guiltily: "Oh, I'm really sorry, you two, there is really nothing good to entertain at home." Her face was embarrassed and uneasy.

Xiyu smiled slightly, with a bit of warmth and comfort in his smile, and said softly: "Don't take it to heart, we are bothering you anyway."

His eyes were clear and sincere, which made people feel warm.

Tuoba Yu also nodded and responded: "Yes, don't worry about it."

Then, Xiyu took a step and walked out the door firmly. Tuoba Yu followed closely behind him, and his figure gradually disappeared in the sunlight outside the door.

Xiyu and Tuoba Yu had just taken a few steps when Wang Xiaoer hurriedly caught up from behind.

He ran and shouted: "Wait for me, wait for me!" When he got closer, he panted and said: "Let's go to the headman's house to see what's going on."

When Wang heard this, she immediately looked anxious. She hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wang Xiaoer, frowned, and advised with worry in her eyes: "Xiaoer, you'd better stop meddling in other people's business! Think about it, what will happen if you are retaliated by the headman in the future!"

She ran over and held Wang Xiaoer's arm tightly with both hands, her expression nervous and anxious.

Wang Xiaoer stiffened his neck and said stubbornly: "No, I can't just watch the headman do evil!" His eyes revealed determination and unwillingness to accept.

Wang shook her head helplessly and sighed: "You, why are you so stubborn!" Her eyes were full of helplessness and worry.

Xi Yu turned around and looked at Wang firmly.

He raised his chin slightly and said solemnly: "Don't worry, we will definitely let the headman get the punishment he deserves this time, you don't have to worry about it."

There was a glimmer of justice in his eyes, and his expression was serious and resolute.

After hearing this, Wang still had a trace of doubt and worry in her eyes, but looking at Xi Yu's determined look, she couldn't help but whispered: "Is it really possible? The headman..."

"Auntie, believe me, since we have intervened in this matter, we will definitely do it to the end. The headman's actions will no longer go unpunished."

His eyes were extremely firm, as if he was fully confident.

Tuoba Yu stepped forward and grabbed Wang's hand tightly. His face was full of sincerity and determination. He looked at her with a sharp gaze and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we can definitely do it!" There was a glimmer of confidence in his eyes, and his expression was serious and earnest.

Wang looked at Tuoba Yu, then at Xi Yu who was standing beside her, and couldn't help but sigh, with a trace of helplessness and emotion in her eyes, and slowly said: "Alas, it seems that you are really high-ranking officials. My son, if he insists on meddling in this trivial matter, I can't do anything about it, let him go."

She shook her head, with both worry about her son and a hint of expectation on her face.

The frowned brows and slightly dim eyes revealed her complex emotions.

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu hurried to the door of the village head's house.

Xi Yu frowned and looked into the house, then turned to Tuoba Yu and said: "Here is still not home."

There was a trace of thought on his face, and a little eagerness in his eyes.

Tuoba Yu looked around, and then his eyes fell on the big tree not far away, and said: "Then let's wait here."

Xi Yu nodded and replied: "That's the only way." After that, the two walked towards the big tree.

Coming to the big tree, Xiyu looked at the stone and sat on it. He leaned back slightly and leaned against the trunk. His face showed some fatigue, but his eyes were still firm.

Tuoba Yu also sat down on the stone next to him.

His expression was a little solemn, as if he was thinking about what might happen next.

"Just wait here with peace of mind. I want to see when Zheng will come back."

Xiyu said softly, staring straight ahead.

Tuoba Yu said "hmm" and sat there quietly, waiting with Xiyu.

In an open space in the village, a group of villagers were gathered together, talking about it.

"You said that the two people brought by Wang Xiaoer, I think they are probably not big officials at all." An old man with gray hair frowned and said doubtfully. He shook his head while speaking, and his face was full of distrust.

"That's right, we shouldn't pin our hopes on them." A thin man next to him echoed, pouting his lips and revealing disdain in his eyes, "If he is really a high-ranking official, how could Wang Xiaoer know him?"

"Oh!" Hearing this, the others panicked immediately, and a fat woman widened her eyes, her face full of anxiety.

"What should we do? If they can't solve the problem of the village head, then we are happy for nothing!" She twisted her hands tightly together, and sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Yes, yes, what should we do?" The others also looked worried and began to get restless.

Some stamped their feet, some sighed, and the scene was in a chaotic and worried atmosphere. (End of this chapter)
