Chapter 793 Guan Yu's New Job
The sun shines on the market, and the noise is coming one after another.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu stand side by side in front of their straw sandal stall, Liu Bei skillfully arranging the straw sandals in his hands.
Guan Yu frowned, looking worried. "Brother, we are selling straw sandals here, when can we achieve great success?"
Liu Bei smiled slightly and comforted him, "Don't worry, second brother. Now, I not only sell straw sandals at the entrance of the village, but also gradually go to the market. This is a progressive move. And I have written to the prime minister. If the prime minister receives the letter, he will definitely arrange a job for you."
Guan Yu's expression eased a little after hearing this, but he still had doubts.
"Brother, the prime minister is busy with all kinds of affairs, will he really pay attention to us?"
Liu Bei straightened his spine and looked into the distance.
"The prime minister will definitely recognize our talents. Second brother, relax and wait patiently."
After a tiring day of selling straw sandals, Liu Bei and Guan Yu dragged their heavy steps back home.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw two yamen runners waiting quietly.
The yamen runner asked solemnly: "Are you Guan Yu and Liu Bei?"
Liu Bei was startled and said with a fist: "We are Guan Yu and Liu Bei. What can I do for you?"
One of the yamen runners stepped forward and said respectfully: "We are the yamen runners of the county government. We are here to arrange a job for Guan Yu under the order of the prime minister."
Liu Bei and Guan Yu were stunned at first, and then overjoyed.
Guan Yu's eyes were shining with excitement, and Liu Bei's face was full of joy.
Liu Bei held Guan Yu's hand tightly and said with emotion: "Second brother, I said that the Prime Minister would pay attention to us. Now that the opportunity has come, you must seize it."
Guan Yu nodded heavily and bowed to the two yamen runners, saying: "Guan Mou will not fail the Prime Minister's order and do his best to complete the task."
Liu Bei showed concern and hurriedly asked the yamen runners: "I wonder what task you have arranged for my second brother?"
The yamen runners replied: "It is the job of guarding the courtyard. At the same time, I will teach everyone martial arts in my spare time."
When Guan Yu heard this, he held his head high and said confidently: "Brother, don't worry, Guan Mou can do it."
The yamen runners frowned slightly and said: "We have been waiting here for a day, hurry up and follow us."
Guan Yu turned his head to look at Liu Bei, his eyes full of reluctance, but more of a firm determination for the new journey.
Liu Bei stepped forward, held Guan Yu's hand tightly, and said solemnly: "Second brother, you must do your best this time."
Guan Yu nodded heavily, said goodbye to Liu Bei, and resolutely followed the yamen runners to leave.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu's back as he left, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
Sun Qiushui was sitting at home, thinking about it, when he suddenly heard footsteps.
Looking up, she saw Madam Mingyue walking into the house with a strange man.
Madam Mingyue smiled lightly and called softly: "Sister."
Sun Qiushui looked back and forth between Madam Mingyue and the strange man, full of doubts in her heart.
She frowned slightly and asked: "Sister, who is this? Why did you bring him home?"
Madam Mingyue's expression became serious, and she said solemnly: "Sister, this is the current prime minister."
Sun Qiushui was shocked when she heard this, and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
She never thought that her sister would come with the prime minister.
Sun Qiushui's face instantly turned cold, her eyes full of anger, she said sternly: "Officials are no good, get out!"
After that, she pointed to the door and unceremoniously asked Xiyu to leave.
Xiyu stood there, embarrassed.
As the prime minister, he was usually high and mighty, and had never been treated like this.
But at this moment, he didn't know how to deal with it. Seeing this, Madam Mingyue hurriedly said: "Sister, the prime minister is a good man. Don't be so impulsive."
However, Sun Qiushui's mood swings were still very large.
She didn't listen to Madam Mingyue's words at all, but just kept repeating: "Let him go, I don't want to see the official."
Madam Mingyue looked at Xiyu helplessly, her eyes full of apology.
"In that case, I will leave first. But please believe that I am not as unbearable as you think." Xiyu said sincerely. After speaking, he turned and walked out the door.
Madam Mingyue looked at Xiyu's departing back, and then at Sun Qiushui who was still furious, her heart filled with helplessness and worry.
Madam Mingyue saw Xiyu turning around and leaving, and hurriedly chased after him. She walked quickly to Xiyu's side and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, don't really leave here. Turn around first, I'll do my sister's work."
Xiyu stopped, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Of course I understand. You go and have a good talk with her."
Madam Mingyue felt relieved, looked at Xiyu gratefully, and hurried back to the house.
At this time, Sun Qiushui was still angry, she sat there, her chest heaving violently.
Madam Mingyue walked up to Sun Qiushui and whispered, "Sister, why are you so impulsive? The Prime Minister is not a bad person. He may be able to help us solve the problem."
Sun Qiushui snorted coldly and said, "Sister, you are too naive. Who is not an official for his own interests? I don't want to have anything to do with them."
Madam Mingyue patiently persuaded, "Sister, you can't generalize. The Prime Minister is in a high position and has great power, but he is willing to come in person, which shows that he is willing to solve the problem. We might as well listen to his ideas, maybe there will be a turnaround."
Sun Qiushui remained silent. Although the anger in her heart had not completely dissipated, she began to waver.
She knew that her sister would not harm her. Perhaps she should really calm down and listen to what the Prime Minister wanted to say.
Outside the house, Xiyu stood with his hands behind his hands, waiting quietly. He was also thinking about how to resolve this conflict and how to make Sun Qiushui put aside his prejudices and accept his help.
Xiyu wandered slowly at the entrance of the village. The scenery at the entrance of the village was indeed good, with green trees and a gentle breeze.
His mood gradually calmed down, and he began to think about how to communicate with Sun Qiushui.
After a while, he saw a big stone, so he walked over and sat on it, quietly admiring the surrounding scenery.
Time passed quietly, and half an hour later, Mrs. Mingyue finally found Xi Yu.
With joy on her face, she said: "Prime Minister, my sister has agreed and can see you."
Xi Yu nodded slightly, stood up, and straightened his clothes.
At Sun Qiushui's house, Zhao Ziyue, a famous second-rate son in the village, suddenly broke in.
He looked at Sun Qiushui with a sly look, with a malicious smile on his lips.
"Hey, Sun Qiushui, I have liked you for a long time. Now you are like a mouse crossing the street, but I, Zhao Ziyue, will not dislike you. Why not just follow me." Zhao Ziyue started to move his hands and feet as he spoke.
Sun Qiushui's face turned red with anger and he cursed angrily: "You shameless person, get out of here!"
But Zhao Ziyue not only refused to listen, but became even more arrogant.
He hugged Sun Qiushui, with a fierce look in his eyes, and threatened coldly: "Huh, don't toast me and you will be fined. Today you have to obey, and you have to obey if you don't."
Sun Qiushui struggled desperately, his heart filled with fear and anger. She never expected that at this juncture, she would meet the scoundrel Zhao Ziyue.
She screamed desperately, hoping someone could come to save her.
Just when Sun Qiushui fell into despair, Xi Yu and Mrs. Mingyue arrived.
When Mrs. Mingyue heard her sister's cry, she was so anxious that she quickly rushed into the room.
The scene in front of her made her furious, and she cursed loudly: "You shameless person, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
Zhao Ziyue knew nothing about Mrs. Mingyue's presence in the world. He looked at Mrs. Mingyue. Not only was he not afraid at all, but he said arrogantly: "I didn't expect that I caught the big one and the little one is here too, so let's collect them together." Come on."
Mrs. Mingyue's eyes widened with anger, she raised her palm and slapped Zhao Ziyue hard.
Her strength was so great that Zhao Ziyue was beaten until stars appeared in her eyes. Then, Mrs. Mingyue quickly took action and threw Zhao Ziyue heavily to the ground.
Zhao Ziyue lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
Xi Yu stood at the door with a gloomy expression. He looked at Zhao Ziyue on the ground, and anger surged in his heart. As the prime minister, he cannot tolerate such evil behavior. Sun Qiushui was in shock. She threw herself into Mrs. Mingyue's arms and started crying.
Mrs. Mingyue patted her sister's back gently and comforted her: "Sister, don't be afraid, we are here."
Xi Yu stepped forward, looked at Sun Qiu Shui, and said sincerely: "I've frightened you. I will definitely seek justice for you."
Sun Qiushui raised his head and looked at Xi Yu, the hostility in his eyes gradually dissipated.
Xi Yu's face was stern, and he called out the secret guard with a low shout. "Take this beast away immediately and bring it to the local county government."
The secret guards flashed like ghosts. They acted quickly and decisively, and in an instant they firmly controlled Zhao Ziyue, who was still struggling to beg for mercy.
The appearance of the secret guard really surprised the two sisters. They had never seen such a well-trained and mysterious person, and they were stunned for a moment.
Zhao Ziyue's face turned pale with fear at this time. He struggled hard and begged for mercy: "Spare me, I don't dare to do it anymore! Please let me go!"
However, his pleas for mercy were in vain.
Xi Yu looked at the panicked Zhao Ziyue without any mercy in his eyes.
"If you do a lot of evil, you should be punished." His voice was cold and majestic, making people shudder.
Sun Qiushui and Mrs. Mingyue looked at Zhao Ziyue being taken away, feeling relieved and a little more in awe of Xi Yu.
Sun Qiushui has learned about the process of his sister's contact with the prime minister.
She looked at Xi Yu with a trace of hesitation in her eyes and asked, "Can you really solve my problem?"
Xi Yu looked solemn and said firmly: "If the person is indeed wronged, I will definitely make the decision for Madam."
Hearing this, Sun Qiushui's eyes instantly turned red. The grievances and sufferings of these years came to her heart like a tide. She suddenly started crying and said with choked sobs: "I have lived a very miserable life these years."
Mrs. Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward and gently hugged her sister, with tears in her eyes.
Xi Yu looked at Sun Qiushui quietly, feeling pity in his heart.
He could imagine the hardships a woman must go through in this troubled world.
Xi Yu looked at Sun Qiushui with a serious face and said, "Although I already know the general situation from Madam Mingyue, I still need Madam to explain it carefully."
Sun Qiushui gently wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly. With a slight tremor in her voice, she recounted all the things she had been wronged about back then.
Those painful memories appeared before her eyes like a picture, and her eyes were full of grief, anger and helplessness.
She was falsely accused and suffered countless looks and accusations, and her life was in trouble. Over the years, she has been carrying an unjust injustice, running around but finding no way to seek help.
After saying that, Sun Qiushui's eyes turned red again.
Mrs. Mingyue held her sister's hand tightly and gave her strength. Xiyu listened quietly, thinking secretly in his heart.
He could feel Sun Qiushui's injustice and understood the complexity of this matter.
Just as the three of them were immersed in thinking about Sun Qiushui's grievances, a burst of insults suddenly came from outside.
They quickly went out to check and saw an old man standing there with an angry look on his face. This person is none other than Zhao Ziyue's father, Old Man Zhao.
Old Man Zhao pointed at Sun Qiu Shui and cursed: "Sun Qiu Shui, you are just a bastard that no one cares about. What if my son comes to tease you? Why are you still being taken away?"
Sun Qiushui was so angry that he was shaking all over, tears welling up in his eyes. She never expected that Zhao Ziyue's father could be so unreasonable.
Mrs. Mingyue was furious and retorted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense! Your son has done many evil things and he deserves to be punished."
Xi Yu's face was gloomy. He looked at Old Man Zhao and said in a cold tone: "Your son's behavior violated the law and must be punished. If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, you will also be punished."
Old man Zhao was shocked by Xi Yu's momentum, but he was still unwilling to give in.
He continued to shout: "She, Sun Qiushui, is not a good person to begin with. My son is just confused for a moment. You can't do this to him."
Xi Yu ignored Old Man Zhao. He turned to Sun Qiushui and said, "I will handle this matter myself."
Xi Yu walked to Old Man Zhao with steady steps, his eyes full of majesty and reproach.
"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. The reason why your son is such a beast seems to have something to do with you."
When Old Man Zhao heard this, his eyes widened angrily and he asked, "Who are you? Why do you mind the business here?"
Xi Yu straightened his spine and said in a loud voice: "I am the current prime minister. It is my duty to uphold the law and justice and uphold justice for the people. Your son has violated the law and molested a good woman, and must be punished. And you, Not only do you not repent, but you are still messing around here, which is really abominable.”
When Old Man Zhao heard this, he turned pale with fright. He never expected that the person in front of him was actually the Prime Minister.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Xi Yu continued: "The law cannot be abolished and justice cannot be insulted. If everyone were like your father and son, wouldn't the world be in chaos? You'd better reflect on your behavior and stop trying to excuse your son's evil deeds. ”
After saying that, Xi Yu turned around and returned to Sun Qiushui and Mrs. Mingyue.
Suddenly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Old Man Zhao started to insult again: "Who are you? You dare to pretend to be the prime minister? It's so unreasonable!"
There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, trying to refute Xi Yu and make the situation develop in his favor.
Xi Yu frowned and his expression became even more grim.
He didn't expect that old man Zhao would be so stubborn and would dare to slander him.
He calmly took out the Prime Minister's seal from his arms. Under the sunlight, the lines and words on the seal were clearly visible, demonstrating his noble status.
"Open your dog eyes and take a good look. This is the Prime Minister's seal. How can you doubt it!" Xi Yu's voice was like Hong Zhong Dalu's, which made Old Zhao tremble.
When the surrounding villagers heard the commotion, they also gathered around. After seeing the Prime Minister's seal, they all took a breath and started pointing at Old Man Zhao.
Old man Zhao's face turned green and white, but he still said stubbornly: "Humph, who knows if you stole this seal."
However, his voice no longer had the confidence it had before, and his eyes began to become panicked.
Mrs. Mingyue sneered from the side and said: "You old thing, you really can't shed tears until you see the coffin. The Prime Minister is kind enough to seek justice for us, but you slander us in every possible way. It's really a double crime."
Xi Yu put away the seal and asked the secret guard to come out.
The secret guard immediately appeared, took a step forward, and said to Old Man Zhao: "You slander the Prime Minister so much, come with us."
When Old Man Zhao saw this, he wanted to struggle, but was easily subdued by the secret guard and dragged towards the county government office.
"You slander the Prime Minister so much, come with us." Seeing this, Old Man Zhao tried to struggle, but was easily subdued by the secret guard and dragged towards the county government office.
At this time, the villagers who were watching the excitement were stunned, and then they knelt down one after another.
They never expected that the Prime Minister would be in their small village.
Everyone was filled with fear and awe, and they didn't dare to express their anger.
Xi Yu looked at everyone and said seriously: "Everyone, get up. The truth is that I came here this time to deal with Sun Qiu Shui. Sun Qiu Shui suffered injustice, but now he is regarded as a street rat by everyone. This is really unfair. "
The villagers looked at each other, and someone whispered: "We only heard some rumors and don't know the specific situation."
Xi Yu frowned slightly and said, "Don't believe the rumors. The truth will be thoroughly investigated and justice will be given to Sun Qiushui. You should also take this as a warning and don't slander others at will."
Sun Qiushui stood aside, with tears shining in his eyes. She didn't expect the Prime Minister to speak for her like this, and her heart was filled with emotion.
Mrs. Mingyue also smiled with relief. She knew that there was finally hope of clearing her sister's injustice.
Xiyu waved his hand and told everyone to disperse.
The villagers then stood up one after another and left with complicated emotions.
Sun Qiushui looked at Xi Yu, her eyes full of gratitude. She bowed down and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for speaking out for me in front of everyone."
Xi Yu hurriedly helped Sun Qiushui up and said gently: "It doesn't have to be like this, the truth is just telling the truth." After that, he looked at Mrs. Mingyue again, "Let's go inside first and talk in detail."
The three of them walked into the house together, and the atmosphere in the house was completely different from before.
Sun Qiushui was still feeling uneasy at this moment. She had never thought that one day she would have the support of the Prime Minister.
And today’s incident also began to become popular in the village.
They really didn’t expect that the Prime Minister would actually come to their village. Could it be that he was pretending to be someone else? (End of this chapter)
