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

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

Wang Xiaoer looked at Xi Yu with admiration and said, "Your Excellency is indeed wise and powerful. We feel relieved that you are on our side."

Afterwards, Xi Yu asked the villagers to go back first. He took Tuoba Yu and Wang Xiaoer with him and prepared to go directly to Na Lizheng to question him face to face about the bridge repair.

The three of them walked towards the village head's house. Along the way, Xi Yu's steps were firm and powerful, and he already had a plan in his mind.

Xi Yu came to the door of the village head, raised his hand and knocked, but heard no response.

After asking the neighbors nearby, I found out that the village head was not at home.

Xi Yu frowned, thought for a moment, then turned to Wang Xiaoer and said, "In that case, let's go to your house."

Wang Xiaoer nodded to show his agreement.

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

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 coming. Welcome, welcome. Please sit down." Then she hobbled over to pour them some water.

Xi Yu quickly stepped forward to support Wang Xiaoer's mother and said in a gentle voice, "Auntie, please stop busying yourself. We are not thirsty."

Wang Xiaoer's mother smiled and waved her hands, saying, "Don't be busy, don't be busy. I'm glad you can come."

Xi Yu looked at this kind and enthusiastic old man, and couldn't help feeling touched.

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

When Wang heard this, she was immediately shocked. Her eyes widened in disbelief, her mouth slightly open, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She said in a trembling voice.

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

As she spoke, a look of deep worry and blame emerged on Wang's face.

She stretched out her hand and gently tapped Wang Xiaoer's forehead.

"You, you, why are you so confused? We have no right to interfere with this kind of thing. What if we get into trouble?"

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

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

Xi Yu 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. She frowned and looked at Xi Yu with confusion. Then she asked, "What kind of official are you?"

After hearing this, Xi Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled, but said nothing more. His eyes revealed an unfathomable meaning.

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

Wang Xiaoer next to him had a serious look on his face, and seemed to be thinking about how to deal with the situation next.

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

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

As he spoke, he quickly poured the water and handed it to Xiyu with a kind smile on his face.

Afterwards, Wang dusted herself off and said, "You guys continue chatting. I'm going to go outside to feed the sheep." Then she turned around and hurriedly left the house.

After Wang left, a look of guilt appeared on Wang Xiaoer's face.

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

Xi Yu looked at Wang Xiaoer with a serious expression and 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 this again in the future."

Xi Yu's eyes revealed determination and majesty.

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

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

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

After saying that, Wang Xiaoer bit his lip, a determined look appeared on his face, he stared at Xi Yu 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!"

There was a glimmer of eagerness and anticipation in his eyes, as if he had placed all his hopes on Xi Yu.

After hearing this, Xi Yu was slightly stunned, then looked at Wang Xiaoer thoughtfully and did not answer immediately.

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

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

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

She laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

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

Xi Yu looked at the two of them helplessly, his mouth twitching slightly, and said unhappily: "Alright, alright, stop teasing me."

But there was a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.

After a while, Wang came into the house after feeding the sheep. She looked apologetic and said as she entered the house, "Alas, I really don't have anything to serve you two guests."

Her face was filled with guilt and she wrung her hands in front of her.

Xi Yu quickly stood up, waved his hand with a smile, and said gently: "Auntie, please don't say that, we don't mind, we just want to sit for a while and leave."

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, and she nodded repeatedly and said, "Then you sit down for a while."

After saying that, he stood aside somewhat awkwardly, as if he still felt a little embarrassed.

On the other side, Li was in a woman's house.

The village head is in his forties and a little overweight.

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

Her hair was neatly tied on top of her head, secured with a wooden hairpin, with a few strands falling around her ears.

Li Zheng leaned lazily against the head of the bed, with a hint of satisfaction 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 long, silky hair fell on the white pillowcase, her skin was as delicate and smooth as white jade, and her exquisite facial features looked even more charming at this moment.

She turned her face slightly, with a shy smile on her lips, and said angrily: "You are so sweet."

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

The head of the village reached out and gently stroked the woman's face, his eyes full of greed.

"Hey, I'm telling the truth. You really made me lose my soul."

The woman nudged him and said, "Come on, stop talking nonsense."

As she spoke, she stretched lazily, and her graceful figure made the village head's eyes light up again. The woman leaned lazily against the bed, frowned slightly, and said softly with a trace of worry in her expression: "My husband will be home from abroad soon. We can't fool around like this in the next few days."

There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, and one hand gently tugged at the quilt.

When the village head heard this, his eyes widened, a fierce look flashed across his face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, why not just kill your husband, so that we can be together forever in the future."

There was a vicious look in his eyes.

"Absolutely not! This can't be done. If someone dies, it will be a terrible end!" Beads of sweat appeared on the woman's forehead. Her hands kept shaking and she looked extremely nervous.

"Hmph, what a cowardly woman." The head of the village curled his lips slightly with a hint of disapproval and disgust on his face.

Then he seemed to remember something and shook his head.

"But it's time for me to go." As 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 swaggeringly on the street, when suddenly a second-rate guy came running towards him with a fawning smile on his face.

The scoundrel rolled his eyes and said with a grin, "Oh, Mr. Village Chief, I've been looking for you for a long time!"

The village head stopped, frowned, looked at him impatiently, and asked sternly: "What do you want from me?"

The scoundrel quickly approached the head of the village and said mysteriously, "Sir, I have something to tell you..." His expression revealed a cunning look.

The head of the village frowned at the second-rate guy in front of him, with a look of disgust on his face, and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it quickly! Don't waste my time!"

The scoundrel smiled and said flatteringly, "Village head, today Wang Xiaoer brought two people, a man and a woman, who looked like two high-ranking officials. They said they wanted to investigate you! Many villagers also said that you embezzled money when you built the bridge."

When the village head heard this, he was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes widened, veins popped out on his forehead, and he cursed: "Bullshit! A bunch of ignorant and unruly people! Whoever dares to go against me will pay the price!"

The second-rate guy quickly agreed, "That's right, don't be angry, Lord Li Zheng. I told you, how could Wang Xiaoer know the high official? He must have found two people to impersonate him. I'm telling you the news because I'm very loyal to you, Lord Li Zheng!"

He had a flattering look on his face and a cunning gleam in his eyes.

The head of the village had a gloomy face. After listening to what the second-rate guy said, he slowly patted the second-rate guy on the shoulder, pulled a stiff smile at the corner of his mouth, and a fierce flash in his eyes. He said: "Well, as long as you are loyal to me, you will naturally get benefits. But this Wang Xiaoer really deserves to die, and I will never let him go." As he said this, he gritted his teeth and his cheeks puffed up.

Then, the village head frowned again, with doubt in his eyes, staring at the second-rate guy and asked, "Are you sure those two people are not high-ranking officials?"

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

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

Then, his expression turned extremely ugly again. He bit his lip and walked forward angrily, muttering, "Humph, Wang Xiaoer, wait for me..."

His steps were heavy and powerful, as if carrying endless anger.

In that somewhat shabby house, Xiyu and Tuoba Yu picked up the coarse porcelain bowls and gulped down a few big gulps of water.

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

When Wang heard this, an embarrassed look immediately appeared on her face. She rubbed her hands and said guiltily, "Oh, I'm so sorry, you two. We really don't have anything good to treat you at home." There was embarrassment and uneasiness on her face.

Xi Yu smiled slightly, with a hint of warmth and relief in his smile, and said softly, "Don't take it to heart. We are already bothering you."

His eyes were clear and sincere, bringing warmth to people's hearts.

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

Afterwards, Xi Yu took a step forward and walked firmly toward the door. 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 with them 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 and see what's going on."

When Wang heard this, she immediately showed an anxious look on her face. She hurried forward to hold Wang Xiaoer, frowning and persuading him 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 family leader in the future!"

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

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

Wang shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Why are you so stubborn?" Her eyes were full of helplessness and worry.

Xi Yu turned around and looked at Wang with a firm gaze.

He raised his chin slightly and said solemnly, "Don't worry, we will definitely make sure the head of the village gets the punishment he deserves this time. You don't have to worry about it."

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

Wang Shi still had a trace of doubt and worry in her eyes after hearing this, but seeing Xi Yu's confident look, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Is it really possible? The head of the village..."

"Ma'am, believe me, since we have intervened in this matter, we will definitely see it through to the end. The actions of the headman will no longer go unpunished."

His eyes were extremely firm, as if he was completely sure.

Tuoba Yu stepped forward and held Wang's hand tightly. His face was full of sincerity and determination. He looked at her with sharp eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we can do it!" There was a confident light 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 could not 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 insists on meddling in this trivial matter, and I can't do anything about it, so let him be."

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

Her furrowed brows and slightly dim eyes revealed her complex inner emotions.

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

Xi Yu frowned and looked inside the house, then turned to Tuoba Yu and said, "He is still not home."

There was a thoughtful look on his face and a hint of urgency in his eyes.

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

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

Coming to the big tree, Xi Yu looked at the stone and sat down on it. His body 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 nearby.

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

"Just wait here patiently. I want to see when Zheng will come back."

Xi Yu said softly, staring straight ahead.

Tuoba Yu hummed, and sat there quietly, waiting with Xiyu.

In an open space in the village, a group of villagers gathered together, talking in a buzzing voice.

"As for the two people Wang Xiaoer brought with you, I think they are probably not high-ranking officials at all." An old man with gray hair frowned and said doubtfully. He shook his head as he spoke, with distrust written all over his face.

"That's right. We shouldn't pin our hopes on them." A lean man next to him echoed, curling his lips and revealing disdain in his eyes. "If they are really high-ranking officials, how could Wang Xiaoer know them?"

"Oh!" Hearing this, the others suddenly panicked. A fat woman widened her eyes and looked anxious.

"What should we do? If they can't solve the problem of the village head, then our happiness will be in vain!" She wrung 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 atmosphere was chaotic and worried. (End of this chapter)
