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

The sun shines on the market and the noise is endless.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu stood side by side in front of their straw sandal stall, with Liu Bei skillfully arranging the sandals in his hands.

Guan Yu frowned, looking worried. "Brother, we are selling straw sandals here, when will we be able to achieve great success?"

Liu Bei smiled and said soothingly, "Don't worry, 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 a letter 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 so busy, will he really pay attention to us?"

Liu Bei straightened his back and looked into the distance.

"The Prime Minister will surely recognize our talents. Second brother, please relax and wait patiently."

After a tiring day of selling straw sandals, Liu Bei and Guan Yu returned home with heavy steps.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw two yamen runners waiting quietly.

The bailiff asked solemnly, "Are you Guan Yu and Liu Bei?"

Liu Bei was startled and clasped his fists and said, "We are Guan Yu and Liu Bei. What can I do for you?"

One of the bailiffs stepped forward and said respectfully, "We are bailiffs from the county government. We are here on the orders of the prime minister to arrange a mission for Guan Yu."

When Liu Bei and Guan Yu heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed.

There was a gleam of excitement in Guan Yu's eyes, 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 the opportunity has come, you must seize it."

Guan Yu nodded heavily, bowed to the two yamen runners and said, "Guan must live up to the Prime Minister's orders and do his best to complete the task."

Liu Bei showed concern and asked the yamen runner: "What job have you arranged for my second brother?"

The yamen runner replied: "It is the job of guarding the courtyard. In his spare time, he also teaches everyone martial arts and other things."

When Guan Yu heard this, he held his head high and said confidently, "Brother, rest assured, I can do the job."

The yamen runners frowned slightly and said, "We have been waiting here for a day. Come with us."

Guan Yu turned to look at Liu Bei, his eyes full of reluctance, but more of 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 on this trip."

Guan Yu nodded heavily, said goodbye to Liu Bei, and then resolutely followed the yamen runners away.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu's receding back, feeling filled with emotion.

Sun Qiu Shui was sitting at home, lost in thought, when she suddenly heard footsteps.

Looking up, I saw Madam Mingyue walking into the room with a strange man.

Madam Mingyue smiled faintly and called softly, "Sister."

Sun Qiu Shui looked back and forth between Madam Mingyue and the strange man, her heart full of confusion.

She frowned slightly and asked, "Sister, who is this? Why did you bring him home?"

Madam Mingyue's expression straightened up and she said solemnly, "Sister, this is the current Prime Minister."

Sun Qiu Shui was shocked when she heard this and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

She never expected that her sister would come with the prime minister.

Sun Qiushui's expression instantly turned cold, her eyes full of anger, and she said sternly: "Officials are no good, get out of here!"

After saying that, she pointed to the door and unceremoniously asked Xi Yu to leave.

Xiyu stood there, looking 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 respond. Seeing this, Madam Mingyue hurriedly said, "Sister, the Prime Minister is a good man. Don't be so impulsive."

However, Sun Qiu Shui's emotions still fluctuated greatly.

She didn't listen to Madam Mingyue's words at all, and 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 me, Madam, I am not as bad as you think." Xi Yu said sincerely. After that, he turned and walked out the door.

Madam Mingyue looked at Xi Yu's departing back, then looked at Sun Qiu Shui who was still angry, 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, please don't really leave here. Take a walk first, and I will do my sister's work."

Xi Yu stopped, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Of course I understand. Go and have a good talk with her."

Madam Mingyue felt a little relieved. She looked at Xiyu with gratitude and hurried back into the house.

At this time, Sun Qiu Shui was still furious. She sat there with 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 among the officials doesn't work for their own interests? I don't want to have anything to do with them."

Madam Mingyue patiently advised, "Sister, we can't generalize. The Prime Minister is in a high position and has great power, but he is willing to come here 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 turning point."

Sun Qiu Shui remained silent. Although the anger in her heart had not completely dissipated, it had begun to waver.

She knew that her sister would not harm her, so perhaps she should really calm down and listen to what the Prime Minister wanted to say.

Outside the house, Xi Yu stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly. He was also thinking about how to resolve this conflict and how to make Sun Qiu Shui put aside her prejudice and accept his help.

Xi Yu walked slowly at the entrance of the village. The scenery at the entrance of the village was indeed nice, with green trees and a gentle breeze.

His mood gradually calmed down and he began to think about how to communicate with Sun Qiu Shui.

After a while, he saw a big rock, so he walked over and sat on it, quietly admiring the surrounding scenery.

Time passed quietly, and half an hour later, Madam Mingyue finally found Xiyu.

With a look of joy on her face, she said, "Prime Minister, my sister has agreed to see you."

Xiyu nodded slightly, stood up and straightened his clothes.

At Sun Qiu Shui's house, Zhao Ziyue, a well-known second-rate guy in the village, suddenly broke in.

He looked at Sun Qiu Shui with a sly look and a malicious smile on his face.

"Hehe, Sun Qiu Shui, I have liked you for a long time. Now you are like a rat crossing the street, but I, Zhao Ziyue, will not despise you. Why don't you just obey me?" Zhao Ziyue said as he started to make moves.

Sun Qiushui was so angry that his face turned red, and he cursed: "You shameless man, get out of here!"

But Zhao Ziyue not only refused to listen, but became even more arrogant.

He hugged Sun Qiushui tightly, his eyes showing a fierce look, and threatened coldly: "Humph, don't refuse my toast and drink the penalty wine. Today you have to obey, whether you want to or not."

Sun Qiushui struggled desperately, her heart filled with fear and anger. She never expected that at this critical moment, she would meet Zhao Ziyue, a rogue.

She cried out desperately, hoping someone would come and rescue her.

Just when Sun Qiu Shui fell into despair, Xi Yu and Madam Mingyue arrived.

When Madam Mingyue heard her sister's cry, she was anxious and rushed into the room quickly.

The scene before her made her furious. She shouted, "How dare you be so presumptuous, you shameless bastard!"

Zhao Ziyue knew nothing about Madam Mingyue's affairs in the martial arts world. He looked at Madam Mingyue and was not afraid at all. Instead, he said arrogantly, "I didn't expect that I caught the big one, and the small one is here too. Let's take them all together."

Madam Mingyue's eyes widened with anger, she raised her hand and slapped Zhao Ziyue hard.

She was so strong that Zhao Ziyue saw stars. Then, Madam Mingyue made another quick move and threw Zhao Ziyue to the ground.

Zhao Ziyue lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

Xi Yu stood at the door with a gloomy face. He looked at Zhao Ziyue on the ground, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. As the prime minister, he could not tolerate such evil deeds. Sun Qiushui was still in shock, she threw herself into Madam Mingyue's arms and cried.

Madam Mingyue gently patted her sister's back and comforted her, "Sister, don't be afraid, we are here."

Xi Yu walked forward, looked at Sun Qiu Shui, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry to have frightened you. I will definitely seek justice for you."

Sun Qiu Shui raised her head and looked at Xi Yu, the hostility in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Xi Yu's face was grim, and he called out the secret guards with a low shout. "Take this beast away immediately and bring him to the local county government office."

The secret guards appeared like ghosts. They acted swiftly and decisively, and instantly controlled Zhao Ziyue, who was still struggling 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 was so frightened that his face turned pale. He struggled hard and begged for mercy: "Please spare me, I won't dare to do it again! Please let me go!"

However, his plea for mercy was of no avail.

Xi Yu looked at the panicked Zhao Ziyue without any pity in his eyes.

"You have done so many evil things that you deserve to be punished." His voice was cold and majestic, making people shudder.

Sun Qiu Shui and Madam Mingyue looked at Zhao Ziyue being taken away, feeling relieved and at the same time more in awe of Xi Yu.

Sun Qiu Shui has already learned about how her sister came into contact with the Prime Minister.

She looked at Xi Yu with a hint of hesitation in her eyes and asked, "Can you really solve my problem?"

Xi Yu looked solemn and said firmly, "If it is true that she was wronged, I will definitely stand up for my wife."

Hearing this, Sun Qiushui's eyes instantly turned red. The grievances and sufferings of these years surged into her heart like a tide, and she suddenly burst into tears, choking and saying, "I have had such a hard time these years."

Madam Mingyue hurried forward, gently hugged her sister, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Xi Yu looked at Sun Qiu Shui quietly, a feeling of pity welling up in his heart.

He could imagine the hardships a woman had to go through in such troubled times.

Xi Yu looked serious, looked at Sun Qiu Shui and said, "Although I have learned the general situation from Madam Mingyue, I still need you to explain it in detail."

Sun Qiushui gently wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly. Her voice was trembling slightly as she recounted the injustice she had suffered that year.

Those painful memories appeared before her eyes like pictures, and her eyes were full of grief, anger and helplessness.

She was framed and suffered countless contempt and accusations, and her life fell into trouble. Over the years, she has been carrying the unjust accusation and running around but has no place to turn to.

After saying this, Sun Qiu Shui's eyes turned red again.

Madam Mingyue held her sister's hand tightly, giving her strength. Xiyu listened quietly, thinking secretly in his heart.

He could feel the injustice suffered by Sun Qiu Shui and understood the complexity of the matter.

Just as the three of them were immersed in thinking about Sun Qiu Shui's injustice, a burst of insults suddenly came from outside.

They hurried out to check, and saw an old man standing there with an angry look on his face. This man was Zhao Ziyue's father, Old Man Zhao.

Old man Zhao pointed at Sun Qiushui and yelled, "Sun Qiushui, you are a jinx that no one cares about. What's wrong with my son teasing you? Why did you let him take you away?"

Sun Qiushui was so angry that she was shaking all over, tears welling up in her eyes. She never thought that Zhao Ziyue's father would be so unreasonable.

Madam Mingyue was furious and retorted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense! Your son has done many evil things and he should 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 aura, but he still felt unwilling.

He continued to shout, "Sun Qiushui was never a good person. My son was just confused for a moment. You can't treat him like this."

Xi Yu no longer paid attention to Old Man Zhao. He turned to Sun Qiu Shui and said, "I will handle this matter myself."

Xi Yu walked up to Old Man Zhao with steady steps, his eyes full of majesty and reproach.

"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. The reason why your son is such a beast seems to have everything to do with you."

When Old Man Zhao heard this, his eyes widened with anger and he asked, "Who are you? Why do you mind my business here?"

Xi Yu straightened his back and said in a loud voice: "I am the current prime minister. It is my duty to uphold the law and justice for the people. Your son violated the law and molested a decent girl. He must be punished. And you, not only do you not repent, but you are also making trouble here. It's really hateful."

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 is like you and your son, wouldn't the world be in chaos? You'd better reflect on your own behavior and stop making excuses for your son's evil deeds."

After saying that, Xi Yu turned around and returned to Sun Qiu Shui and Madam Ming Yue.

Suddenly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Old Man Zhao immediately started to curse again: "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be the prime minister? This is outrageous!"

There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, which he tried to use to refute Xi Yu and make the situation develop in a direction that was favorable to him.

Xi Yu frowned and his expression became even colder.

He didn't expect that old man Zhao was so stubborn and even dared to slander him.

He calmly took out the prime minister's seal from his bosom. In the sunlight, the patterns and words on the seal were clearly visible, highlighting his noble status.

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look. This is the seal of the Prime Minister. You are not allowed to doubt it!" Xi Yu's voice was like a loud bell, which made Old Man Zhao tremble.

The surrounding villagers heard the noise and gathered around. After seeing the prime minister's seal, they gasped and began to point fingers at Old Man Zhao.

Old man Zhao's face turned pale and blue, 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 panic.

Madam Mingyue sneered at the side and said, "You old thing, you really won't cry until you see the coffin. The Prime Minister came to us with good intentions to uphold justice, but you slandered us in every possible way. This is really an even greater crime."

Xi Yu put away the seal and asked the secret guard to come out.

The secret guard immediately appeared, stepped forward, and said to Old Man Zhao: "Since you slandered the Prime Minister so much, come with us."

Seeing this, Old Man Zhao tried to struggle, but was easily subdued by the secret guards and dragged towards the county government office.

"Since you have slandered the Prime Minister so much, come with us." Seeing this, Old Man Zhao wanted to struggle, but was easily subdued by the secret guards and dragged towards the county government office.

At this time, the villagers who were watching the excitement were stunned and then 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, not daring to breathe.

Xi Yu looked at everyone and said seriously, "Everyone, stand up. I came here this time because of Sun Qiu Shui's matter. Sun Qiu Shui suffered injustice, and now everyone treats her like a rat crossing the street. This is really unfair."

The villagers looked at each other, and someone whispered, "We have only heard some rumors, and we don't know the specific situation."

Xi Yu frowned slightly and said, "Don't believe rumors lightly. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give Sun Qiu Shui justice. You should also take this as a warning and not slander others at will."

Sun Qiushui stood aside, tears flashing in her eyes. She didn't expect the prime minister to speak for her like this, and her heart was filled with emotion.

Madam Mingyue also showed a relieved smile, she knew that her sister's grievances finally had hope of being cleared.

Xi Yu waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

The villagers then stood up and left with mixed feelings.

Sun Qiushui looked at Xi Yu, her eyes full of gratitude. She bowed and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for speaking fair words for me in front of everyone."

Xi Yu hurriedly helped Sun Qiu Shui up and said gently, "No need to do this. I am just stating the truth." After that, he looked at Madam Mingyue and said, "Let's go inside and talk in detail."

The three of them walked into the house together. The atmosphere inside was very different from before.

Sun Qiu Shui was still feeling uneasy at this moment. She had never thought that one day she would have a prime minister to support her.

And today this incident has begun to become a common occurrence 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)
