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

Some people in the crowd began to agree with the teacher: "What you said makes sense, let's wait for definite news."

But there are still people who don't buy it: "Wait? When? How can we live our lives?"

Amid the commotion, a child timidly asked the adult next to him: "Is Governor Guan really a bad person?" The adult frowned, not knowing how to answer.

This debate lasted for a long time, until the sun set, and the people gradually dispersed. However, all kinds of suspicions about the lost treasure lingered in people's hearts.

Early the next morning, the sun shone on the majestic gate of the palace, but it could not illuminate the tense atmosphere at the moment.

The entrance to the palace was bustling with people, and a large group of people swarmed in, all of them looking angry and shouting for an explanation.

"It's not okay for Guan Yu to keep the treasure for himself! It must be handed over!" A burly man waved his thick arms and shouted loudly. His eyes were wide and blue veins popped out on his forehead.

"That's it! That's it! We can't favor Guan Yu, Liu Gong has to make the decision for us!" Everyone agreed in unison, their voices getting louder and louder.

The soldiers guarding the gate looked nervous and held long guns, trying to maintain order.

"Fellow folks, don't be ridiculous! This is the palace, no rudeness!" A soldier shouted loudly, his brows furrowed and his expression serious.

However, the angry people did not listen at all and continued to move forward.

There were too many people for the soldiers to manage.

"If you do this again, don't blame us for being rude!" Another soldier shouted anxiously, sweat falling from his forehead, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd tremblingly. His eyes were firm and his voice was trembling but powerful: "If Mr. Liu cannot be dealt with fairly, we will never give up!"

There was a mess at the entrance of the palace, and the situation became increasingly difficult to control.

Liu Bei was reading a book in the palace, but he was shocked when he suddenly heard about this.

If that's the case, then it's a big deal to get out quickly.

In this chaotic moment, Liu Bei hurried over surrounded by palace guards.

He frowned, looked solemn, looked at the noisy crowd and said loudly: "Fellow folks, don't be excited, just listen to what I say!"

The noise of the crowd became slightly quieter, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Bei.

Liu Bei scanned the crowd with majesty and sincerity in his eyes: "Yun Chang is definitely not such a greedy person. There must be a misunderstanding. When I find out the truth, I will give everyone an explanation!"

"Mr. Liu, I can't just listen to your words!" Someone in the crowd shouted, with a look of suspicion on his face.

Liu Bei's face darkened and he raised his voice: "I, Liu Bei, have always treated people with integrity. This matter will definitely be investigated to the bottom of the matter. If Yunchang is really at fault, I will never be partial!"

At this time, the crowd became slightly quieter, and everyone looked at each other, seeming to be thinking about Liu Bei's words.

Suddenly, a young junior pushed to the front, clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Mr. Liu, we are also disturbed by this treasure incident. We hope you can give us an explanation as soon as possible."

Liu Bei nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't keep everyone waiting."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered the guards beside him: "Go quickly and invite Guan Yu to confront him and find out the truth!"

The guards followed the order and left. The atmosphere at the entrance of the palace was still tense. Everyone was anxiously waiting for Guan Yu's arrival.

Liu Bei sighed in his heart. He really wanted to tell the people that Guan Yu had indeed lost his treasure, but he knew that if he said so, it would be useless without evidence.

So now he must act as a fair judge.

He forced himself to calm down, tried his best to keep his face serious and solemn, and said loudly: "Everyone, I, Liu Bei, am based on benevolence and righteousness, and will definitely give you a satisfactory result. Before the truth is revealed, please be patient. "

After hearing this, the people, although still dissatisfied, became quieter for the time being.

Liu Bei was silently thinking about countermeasures in his heart, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead unknowingly.

Not long after, Guan Yu, led by his guards, strode to the entrance of the palace.

His face was stern, his red phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, and he held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, looking majestic.

When the people saw Guan Yu's arrival, they began to commotion again.

"Guan Yu, please tell me, have you stolen the treasure?" Someone asked loudly.

Guan Yu snorted coldly and said loudly: "I, Guan Yu, have been upright and upright in my life, how could I do such a sloppy thing!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei quickly said: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Yun. We must investigate this matter clearly today."

Guan Yu cupped his fists and saluted Liu Bei, and said: "Brother, my little brother has a clear conscience and is free to be investigated."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and said, "Okay, let's start investigating this matter now."

At this time, Liu Bei had some calculations in his mind. He knew that this matter must be handled fairly and justly in order to appease the people and live up to the brotherhood.

Next, Guan Yu told the relevant matters.

He frowned, eyes widened, and said angrily: "On the way, I had a bad temper, and I did offend a soldier named Zhao Qiang. I never thought that this villain would steal the treasure with others in an attempt to I suffer!"

After hearing this, Liu Bei's face was gloomy, his eyes were full of majesty, and he said: "Yun Chang, is there any evidence for this matter?"

Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, Zhao Qiang is usually narrow-minded. After my conflict with him, he harbored a grudge against me. The theft of the treasure must be an act of revenge on his part. Although there is no direct evidence yet, But I dare to guarantee with my life that it is definitely not my fault!”

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd.

"You are talking nonsense, who will believe your words!" someone shouted.

Guan Yu glared angrily and yelled: "I, Guan Yu, have never lied in my life, how can you not believe me!"

Liu Bei raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "Everyone, please be patient. This matter will be investigated and come to light. If it is true as Yun Chang said, Zhao Qiang and others will not be let go."

Many soldiers testified that this was indeed the case.

But the people didn't buy it. An old man in the crowd shook his head and said with suspicion: "Who knows whether these soldiers are in the same group as Guan Yu himself? What credibility can their testimony have?"

Others also echoed and expressed doubts.

Liu Bei stood up at this time and said: "Fellow folks, please be patient. I, Liu Bei, would like to assure you that I will definitely catch Zhao Qiang and others. I will give you a satisfactory explanation at that time."

Liu Bei's eyes were firm and sincere, and the expression on his face was serious and solemn.

However, the people still talked about it.

"Hmph, that sounds nice, but who knows if it can be done!" shouted a young and strong young man, with his arms folded in front of his chest and a look of distrust on his face.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, raised his voice and said, "I, Liu Bei, have built my life on benevolence and righteousness, and will never break my promise. If I cannot catch Zhao Qiang and others, I will bring justice to everyone, and I am willing to be blamed by everyone in the world!"

These words were loud and clear, and the people gradually became quiet, but there were still some doubts and expectations in their eyes, waiting to see how Liu Bei would handle the matter.

At this time, Guan Yu yelled, his eyes widened, his face flushed, and he roared: "I, Guan Yu, have been loyal and loyal throughout my life. Since the people don't believe me, why don't I die to prove my will!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed towards the stone pillar beside him desperately, with a determined look as if he had no regard for life and death.

"Guan Jishi, no!" Several soldiers with quick eyes and quick hands rushed forward and grabbed Guan Yu's arm tightly.

They looked panicked, with big beads of sweat on their foreheads. While pulling Guan Yu hard, they shouted eagerly: "Prefect, don't be impulsive!"

Liu Bei was shocked, and ran up to Guan Yu in three steps at a time, holding Guan Yu's shoulders tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Yun Chang, don't do this! I believe in you, this matter will definitely come to light, and it will come to light." You are innocent!"

The people were shocked when they saw this scene, and the scene was silent for a while.

At this time, a kind-faced old man from the crowd slowly walked out. He looked at Guan Yu, with a hint of unbearability in his eyes, and said: "General Guan, don't be so impulsive. Maybe there is a misunderstanding. Let's wait until the truth comes out."

Guan Yu struggled hard, his eyes were red, and he shouted loudly: "No one believes in my innocence, what's the point of living!"

Liu Bei held Guan Yu tightly, his eyes were red, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Yun Chang, you and I have been brothers for many years. I know very well what kind of person you are, and you must not do stupid things out of anger."

Those soldiers also begged and begged: "Provincial Governor, if there is something wrong with you, what should we do?"

At this point, the crowd began to whisper.

"Perhaps Governor Guan was really wronged."

"Looking at his appearance, it doesn't look like he's pretending."

Seeing this situation, Liu Bei took the opportunity and said: "Folks, when I arrest Zhao Qiang and others, I will give you a satisfactory answer. Please give Yunchang and give me some time."

The people looked at each other in shock. After a while, someone shouted: "Then I will trust Liu Gong again."

Liu Bei looked at everyone gratefully and said, "Thank you for your trust. I, Liu Bei, will definitely live up to your expectations."

Then, he turned around and ordered the soldiers: "Intensify the search and be sure to catch Zhao Qiang and others as soon as possible."

The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"

Next, Liu Bei actually started crying. His eyes were wet with tears, and he said to the people with a crying voice: "Today, the people came to accuse Yunchang to accuse me. Yunchang and I are brothers and we depend on each other for life and death. If Yunchang is really Whatever happens, I, Liu Bei, will not survive alone."

As he spoke, his body trembled slightly and his expression was extremely sad.

Many people felt sorry. Someone in the crowd looked ashamed and took a step forward and said, "Mr. Liu, we were impulsive."

Another commoner also echoed, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Don't be so sad, Mr. Liu. It's because we didn't think carefully."

Liu Bei wiped away his tears and said, "I just hope that I can clear Yun Chang's name and let the truth be revealed to the world. I don't want to chill the hearts of loyal and brave people."

The people nodded one after another, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

At this time, an elderly commoner came forward and bowed deeply: "Mr. Liu values ​​​​love and justice, and I feel ashamed. I hope Gong Liu can find out the truth as soon as possible and give justice to the governor."

Liu Bei nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Then, Liu Bei turned to look at Guan Yu, his eyes full of concern and determination: "Yun Chang, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you."

Guan Yu also calmed down at this time and looked at Liu Bei with tears in his eyes: "Brother, I have put you in a difficult position."

Liu Bei patted Guan Yu on the shoulder: "Don't say this, let's wait for the truth together."

The four of Xi Yu were still on their way, and they stayed at the inn again in the evening.

Xi Yu sat at the table, frowning slightly, holding a cup of tea in his hand, about to drink it. At this time, a secret guard quietly flashed into the room.

The secret guard knelt on one knee, and said respectfully and a little anxiously: "Master, there was a disturbance among the people in Fang County."

Xi Yu paused, the teacup stopped at his mouth, his eyes instantly became sharp, and asked: "What's the matter?"

The secret guard did not dare to look up, and hurriedly replied: "The people said that General Guan Yu took the treasure for himself, and the people gathered at the gate of the palace to ask for an explanation."

Xi Yu stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the room, his face gloomy: "Continue to explore, report any new situation immediately."

"Yes!" The secret guard responded, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

Xi Yu sat back in the chair, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Tuoba Yu walked into the room, saw that he looked solemn, and asked carefully: "Husband, what's wrong?"

Xi Yu said.

"Husband, do you want to intervene?"

Xi Yu looked deep in his eyes, shook his head, and said slowly: "Let's see how Liu Bei handles it first. It's not appropriate to act rashly at this time."

Tuoba Yu nodded and stood aside without saying anything.

Xiyu suddenly smiled at Tuoba Yu, with a smile that was somewhat ambiguous and cunning. He suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, his tone gentle but anxious: "Yu'er, we should do something good tonight."

Tuoba Yu suddenly shook his head, a blush appeared on his face, a hint of shyness and helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "It's not convenient today."

When Xiyu heard this, the expectation on his face instantly turned into disappointment. He sighed helplessly and frowned slightly: "Alas, why is it so unfortunate."

Tuoba Yu gently pulled himself back and glared at Xiyu coquettishly: "You, you only know how to think about these."

Xiyu smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "I'm just impatient."

Tuoba Yu turned around and pretended to be angry: "Then you have to wait until the right time."

Xiyu hurriedly came forward, hugged Tuoba Yu from behind, and coaxed softly: "It's my fault, don't be angry, wait until you are convenient, okay?"

Tuoba Yu snorted lightly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Seeing Tuoba Yu's mouth corners raised, Xi Yu knew that she was not really angry, so he gently turned her body over, looked straight into her eyes, and said affectionately: "Yu'er, don't blame me for being anxious, it's really you who are too charming, I can't control myself."

Tuoba Yu pounded Xi Yu's chest coquettishly, and said: "You are the only one who can say sweet words to coax me."

Xi Yu held her hand, put it on her lips and kissed it lightly, saying: "I am speaking the truth, in my heart, you are always the most precious."

Tuoba Yu's face flushed, lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Then you have to understand me."

Xi Yu nodded, hugged Tuoba Yu in his arms, and said: "Don't worry, Yu'er, I will wait patiently."

The two hugged for a while, Xi Yu let go of Tuoba Yu, and said gently: "Then you should rest early and take good care of your body."

Tuoba Yu responded and turned to the bed.

In the Fangjun Palace, boxes of wealth donated by the rich were transported in.

Liu Bei smiled and personally directed everyone to quickly distribute the wealth to the people.

Then, Liu Bei held a banquet in the palace and warmly entertained Guan Yu.

Guan Yu sat at the table, frowning and gloomy, with no interest in the food in front of him.

Seeing this, Liu Bei smiled and advised: "Yun Chang, don't be so sad, eat something quickly."

Guan Yu had no appetite, shook his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Brother, I am so ashamed of losing the treasure this time!"

His fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of resentment.

Liu Bei put down his chopsticks and comforted him: "Yunchang, this matter is under investigation and will definitely come to light. You'd better think it through and don't hurt yourself."

Guan Yu sighed: "Brother, I, Guan Yu, have lived an upright life and have never suffered such injustice!"

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu firmly and said: "Don't worry, Yunchang, I will never let you be wronged."

Guan Yu raised his head and looked at Liu Bei, with a touch of emotion in his eyes: "Brother, Guan Yu will remember your friendship in his heart. But I really can't swallow this breath!"

Liu Bei frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said: "Yunchang, please be patient for a while, and wait until you catch Zhao Qiang and others, the truth will be revealed, and you will be cleared of all charges. Then, you will be relieved of your anger. "

Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will believe you this time, but the days of waiting are really hard to bear."

Liu Bei poured a glass of wine for Guan Yu and said, "Come on, Yunchang, have a drink first and relax."

Guan Yu took the glass, drank it all, and put the glass heavily on the table: "Brother, I just hope that this day will come sooner."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Yes, Yunchang, I believe it won't be too long."

Chen Shou and Chen's father were lying on the same bed, and the dim candlelight in the room was swaying.

Chen's father turned over, facing Chen Shou, and said with emotion: "Shou'er, everything in front of me is like a dream. Dad really didn't expect that we would get in touch with the prime minister."

There was disbelief and a hint of excitement in his voice, and the wrinkles on his face appeared deeper in the light and shadow.

Chen Shou also nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and replied: "Dad, I feel the same way. Things that I never dared to think about before have now come true."

Father Chen sighed and continued, "This may be an opportunity for our Chen family, we must seize it."

Chen Shou clenched his fists and said firmly, "Dad, don't worry, I will work hard and live up to this rare opportunity."

Father Chen patted Chen Shou on the shoulder and said with relief, "Okay, good son, Dad believes in you."

The two gradually fell asleep in their vision of the future.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the house, and Chen Shou and Father Chen woke up early. (End of this chapter)
