The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?
Chapter 796 Revealed
Seeing this, Xi Yu pretended to be embarrassed and waved his hand quickly, saying, "Don't be angry, young lady. I am just an ordinary person. I have never seen the Prime Minister. I am just curious. I have no intention of offending you."
The young man smiled generously and said, "It's okay. Since the people are so curious, it's okay for me to take out the token and let everyone see it."
As he said this, he reached into his arms.
Xi Yu reached out and took the token, it felt heavy in his hand.
He pretended to be curious and examined it carefully in his hand. He was secretly surprised that this fake token actually looked a bit real.
I saw that the token was made with great fine workmanship and the material looked extraordinary. The patterns on it were carved vividly, and the prime minister's name and official seal were clearly visible.
No wonder he could deceive so many people. How could ordinary people understand the tricks involved? To them, this level of sophistication is like seeing the real prime minister. No wonder this impostor could fool everyone so easily.
Xi Yu calmly returned the token to the young man, but he was thinking about how to expose this scam.
After a while, Xi Yu slowly said: "Sir, although I am a businessman, I am also often worried about state affairs. Today, thanks to the assistance of the Prime Minister, the Han Kingdom can be governed so well. It is really a blessing for the people and it is really precious."
The young man listened and showed a humble look on his face. He waved his hand and said, "No, no, this is all my duty as the Prime Minister. It's nothing to worry about."
Xi Yu smiled slightly, changed the subject, and continued: "Sir, when I was traveling around, I found that the land in some places was particularly poor and the grain yield was extremely low. I heard that there is a greenhouse technology that, if promoted and used, may solve the production problem. I wonder if the Prime Minister has a better solution for this? How do you plan to use this greenhouse technology to improve people's livelihood?"
When the young man heard the words "greenhouse technology", a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
He hesitated for a long time but couldn't make out what he was saying.
Seeing this, Xi Yu raised his lips slightly, and said in a playful tone: "Oh? I heard that you, Prime Minister, have vigorously promoted this technology. How come you don't know about it now? This is a bit strange."
The young man's face changed slightly, but he regained his composure and quickly waved his hand to deny it, saying, "This Prime Minister has never heard of this technology. Please tell me in detail what kind of technology this is. If it is really beneficial to the people's livelihood, this Prime Minister will consider adopting it."
There was a hint of guilt in his eyes, but he still pretended to be calm, trying to get away with it.
Tian Yanyan immediately showed displeasure, frowned and said to Xi Yu: "Don't say anything more, the Prime Minister is busy with many things every day, how can he know everything. You are just an ordinary businessman, with limited knowledge, how can you compare with the Prime Minister, don't make trouble anymore."
Xi Yu laughed, looked at the young man and said, "In that case, can I ask a different question?"
The young man's expression relaxed and he said confidently, "If you have any questions, just ask."
He thought to himself that he was well prepared and didn't expect the businessman to ask any difficult questions.
Xi Yu then continued slowly, "I heard that the Prime Minister has secret guards. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and appear and disappear like ghosts. Sir, can you let me see them?"
When Tian Yanyan heard this, her face flushed with anger again, and she shouted, "You are so rude! The secret guards are responsible for protecting the safety of the Prime Minister. How can they just show up casually? Don't be unreasonable anymore."
The young man also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the actions of the secret guards are confidential and cannot be disclosed at will."
As he spoke, he was panicking and thinking to himself, "Who on earth is this person? Why does he keep asking me these inexplicable and difficult questions?"
At this moment, Xi Yu suddenly stood up, rushed to the young man, and grabbed the young man's neck with lightning speed.
This sudden change frightened the mother and daughter. Tian Yanyan even screamed loudly: "What do you want to do? Are you crazy? How dare you be rude to the Prime Minister!"
Her eyes were filled with fear and anger, but she didn't dare to move forward rashly.
Xi Yu exerted a little force on his hands and continued, "I must see the secret guards. The Prime Minister is in danger now, why are they still sitting still? Is this reasonable?"
The young man's face flushed, but he still insisted: "The secret guards will not attack ordinary people. You... you let me go quickly. This prime minister can forgive your sins."
Xi Yu sneered: "I don't need your forgiveness. Today I will kill you, the fake prime minister. I want to see if the secret guards will show up."
Tian Yanyan was anxious and angry: "You are so unreasonable, you will pay the price for this!"
Xi Yu looked at Tian Yanyan coldly: "You innocent girl, I did all this for your own good, you have been deceived by this person and you don't even know it."
At this time, the middle-aged woman asked Xi Yu with a puzzled look on her face: "What do you mean by this?"
Xi Yu tightly gripped the man's neck, showing no intention of relaxing.
The man's eyes flashed with fear, and he said with difficulty: "You are committing a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of your entire clan. Let me go quickly, or you will not be able to bear the consequences."
Xi Yu, however, looked fearless: "It doesn't matter. If there is any punishment, just come to me. Now, tell your secret guards to show up quickly."
The man gasped, his face full of confusion: "I have no grudge against you, why are you doing this?"
Xi Yu raised his lips and said, "Humph, I just like doing this, what do you think?"
Tian Yanyan burst into tears and asked her mother while crying: "Mom, he is obviously a bad guy, why did you let him into the house?"
Her eyes were full of grievance and anger, completely devoid of the pride she had before.
The mother also looked flustered and didn't know what to do.
Xi Yu sneered: "Humph, who is the bad guy? We will know in a moment."
After that, he stared at the impostor with a sharp gaze and asked sternly: "Why did you pretend to be the prime minister? Tell the truth!"
The young man was still stubborn, stiffening his neck and saying, "I am the real prime minister, don't slander me!"
A trace of disdain flashed in Xi Yu's eyes, and he loosened his hand that was pinching the man's neck, but then he slapped the man several times at an extremely fast speed, and the huge force made the man's cheek red and swollen.
Then, Xi Yu kicked him to the ground and said condescendingly: "You can't take out the secret guards, but I can. Stop pretending!"
After saying that, Xi Yu shouted, "Where are the secret guards?"
In an instant, a figure appeared in the room like a ghost.
The figure was dressed in black, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes, and exuded a cold aura.
The mother and daughter had never seen such a scene before. They were so shocked that they were stunned and dared not breathe.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman's face was filled with fear, and she asked in a trembling voice: "What...what's going on?"
Tian Yanyan was also frightened and stunned, unable to speak for a while.
Xi Yu said seriously, "Sister-in-law, Miss Yanyan, this man is a liar pretending to be the prime minister. How could the real prime minister not even know the greenhouse technology, and not even show up the secret guards when he was in danger?"
The young man was still trying to be strong, and he argued loudly: "I am the prime minister! You have all been deceived by him!"
However, the secret guard who suddenly appeared flashed and came to his side again, holding his neck with one hand like an iron clamp, and said coldly: "You fake, don't try to quibble, quickly explain your purpose, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Under the pressure of the secret guards, the man finally lowered his head and told the truth with a face full of shame: "I... I am a fake prime minister. I do this just to enjoy the feeling of being respected and admired. I... I am too vain."
When Tian Yanyan heard this, she was struck by lightning and collapsed instantly.
Her face turned pale, her eyes were filled with anger and despair, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She pointed at the man and cursed, "You are worse than a beast! I trusted you so much, but you kept lying to me!"
After saying that, she rushed towards the man like a madman, grabbing and hitting him, using all her strength in each blow, as if she wanted to vent all the anger and grievances in her heart through this beating and scolding.
Tian Yanyan beat the impostor madly and cried loudly, her heart breaking.
All her love and longings vanished at this moment. She really believed that the other party was the prime minister and gave her most precious body to him, but it was all a scam. At this time, Tian's mother was also furious. She picked up a rolling pin with a fierce look on her face and hit the man's head hard, cursing as she hit him: "You damn liar, you dare to lie to my daughter, I will beat you to death!"
Each blow was delivered with full force. The man screamed in pain but did not dare to resist. He could only hold his head and roll on the ground.
After a while, Xi Yu saw that the man was beaten with blood all over his face and was dying, so he hurried forward to stop him and said, "Sister-in-law, Miss Yanyan, please stop beating him. Please don't let anyone die."
The mother and daughter then stopped, and the rolling pins in their hands fell to the ground with a clang.
Tian Yanyan was already sobbing and unable to speak. Her eyes were empty and she muttered to herself, "I have no face to live anymore. I want to die."
As she said that, she rushed towards the wall, wanting to bang her head against it and die.
Mother Tian was horrified when she saw this. She rushed over and hugged Tian Yanyan tightly, crying, "My daughter, please don't do anything stupid! We can't sacrifice our lives for this beast!"
Xi Yu then ordered the secret guards: "Take this man away and interrogate him thoroughly. We must uncover the conspiracy behind him."
The secret guard received the order and picked up the man as easily as an eagle picking up a chick and quickly led him out of the house.
Xi Yu turned around and began to comfort Tian Yanyan: "Miss Yanyan, you can't be so naive in the future. This time is a painful lesson. You must open your eyes when you look at people in the future."
Tian Yanyan was still immersed in despair, crying and saying: "I have no face to live anymore, let me die."
Tian's mother hugged her tightly, tears streaming down her face: "My daughter, this young man is right. If you die, what will I do? If anything happens to you, I will not live anymore."
After listening to her mother's crying, Tian Yanyan gradually calmed down and realized her impulsiveness.
But when she thought about how badly she had been cheated by that liar, she felt like a huge stone was blocking her heart. It was so cowardly.
The mother helped her sit down on the stool with concern and said softly, "My daughter, calm down first. I know you are feeling bad."
Xi Yu watched from the side, his heart filled with emotion.
He understood that the pain caused by such things could not be eliminated in a short period of time and it would take time to heal slowly.
He only hoped that Tian Yanyan could now think more positively and stop trying to commit suicide. After all, life is precious and cannot be given up easily because of a liar.
Next, Tian's mother looked at Xi Yu with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Young man, who are you? Why do you have secret guards?"
Xi Yu said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, to be honest, I am the real prime minister."
As he spoke, he took out a token from his bosom and handed it to the mother and daughter, "Look, this is the real Prime Minister's token."
The mother and daughter took the token and looked at it carefully. They saw that the token was of fine quality and fine carving. The patterns and words on it exuded a sense of majesty. It was slightly but crucially different from the token of the previous impostor.
They never expected that the young man in front of them was actually the real prime minister. They were so surprised that they hurriedly pulled Tian Yanyan to kneel down and saluted Xi Yu.
Xi Yu hurried forward to support them and said, "You're welcome. Hurry up and get up. What happened today was also due to my negligence. I gave that liar an opportunity to take advantage of it and caused you to suffer."
Then, Xi Yu slowly said: "When I was playing in the inn, I accidentally heard the news that someone was pretending to be the prime minister, so I tracked it all the way here."
Tian's mother's face was full of shame and regret.
"This is such a shame. Now everyone in the village knows that my Yanyan has found a son-in-law who is the prime minister. Who would have thought it would be like this? It's all thanks to you, the prime minister."
Xiyu waved his hand.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about face for now. Miss Yanyan's life is the most important thing now. You must keep an eye on her and don't let her do anything stupid again."
Tian Yanyan wiped her tears, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her eyes, "Prime Minister, I will live bravely. For my mother, I will not commit suicide again."
Xiyu nodded and agreed.
After a while, he stood up and indicated that he was leaving.
At this moment, Tian Yanyan suddenly asked, "Prime Minister, how do you plan to punish that hateful man?"
Xi Yu frowned slightly: "I haven't thought about it yet."
A complicated look flashed in Tian Yanyan's eyes. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Although he lied to me and it's really hateful, but I...after all, I have been with him and have developed feelings for him. I hope the Prime Minister can show some leniency."
Xi Yu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "You are such an infatuated girl. But he pretended to be the prime minister, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor. He should be executed according to the law. This is the law of the country. I can't let him off the hook because of my personal feelings."
After saying that, he looked at the mother and daughter, then turned and left.
The mother and daughter were left in the house, each with a different look on their face, immersed in complex emotions.
After Xiyu left, Tian's mother took Tian Yanyan's hand and said earnestly: "Yanyan, don't think about that hateful man anymore. People like him deserve to die. He deceived us so badly. We can't be soft-hearted for him anymore."
Tian's mother's eyes were full of hatred and determination. She hoped that her daughter could completely let go of this evil relationship and start her life anew.
Xi Yu came outside, and when the secret guard saw him, he stepped forward and asked, "Prime Minister, how should we deal with the man who pretended to be you?"
Xi Yu asked, "What was the result of the interrogation?" The secret guard replied, "This man often pretended to be the prime minister and deceived young women in many places, ruining the reputation and lives of many women."
A cold light flashed in Xi Yu's eyes, and he said in a cold tone: "Such scum must be executed on the spot and must not be tolerated."
After giving the order, Xi Yu turned and left.
He was still angry about the swindler's evil deeds, and he continued walking towards the liquor store where he still had unfinished business.
Xi Yu came to the liquor store again. At this time, the store was deserted and there were basically no customers.
The waiter was sitting there leisurely. When he saw Xi Yu coming, he smiled and said, "Sir, you are here. Normally the shopkeeper is in the shop every day, but you came at an unfortunate time these two days. The shopkeeper was out for something."
Xiyu waved his hand.
"It's okay, I can wait here for a while."
After a while, Xi Yu started chatting with the waiter. He asked, "Are you the only waiter in this store? Aren't there any women helping here?"
The waiter smiled and replied, "I'm alone. The business in the store isn't very busy, so I can handle it by myself."
Xi Yu frowned slightly, as if he was a little surprised by the answer. He looked around the store, looking at the neatly arranged wine jars, but his mind was thinking about other things. "Does your shopkeeper often go out?" he asked casually.
"Not really, it's just that things have been a little special these days. But don't worry, the boss will be back soon, he knows you are waiting for him." The waiter answered while wiping the table.
Although the waiter warmly entertained Xi Yu, his curiosity was growing like weeds in his heart.
While pretending to be busy tidying up the counter, he stole glances at Xi Yu out of the corner of his eye.
After seeing this, he felt more and more that this man was extraordinary. Whether it was his stern expression or his mysterious clothes, he did not look like an ordinary drinker.
He secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that he had some special deal with the shopkeeper?
But the shopkeeper never mentioned such a person. Or was he here with bad intentions? But seeing how he was waiting patiently just now, it didn't seem like that.
The more the waiter thought about it, the more he felt that there must be something hidden here. He secretly decided that after the shopkeeper had finished talking with the mysterious guest, he would find an opportunity to ask the shopkeeper for clarification.
"Waiter, can I ask you a question?" Xi Yu asked.
"Sir, please speak." (End of this chapter)
