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

Xi Yu frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Wangjiazhuang has accumulated a lot of power in this area. The villagers are afraid of its power and dare not easily reveal the truth. We must not act too hastily and need to change our strategy."

He looked around and saw a group of children playing not far away. His eyes lit up and a plan came to his mind.

"Let's find a place to stay first. When night falls, you can come with me to visit some villagers."

When night fell on the village, Xiyu and Luo Xiaoyu quietly came to the old man's house during the day, bringing some dry food and gifts.

Xi Yu said softly to Luo Xiaoyu: "Wait here for a while, I'll be back soon."

After that, he walked to the old man's house alone, put the gift at the door, and then knocked gently.

The old man opened the door and saw Xi Yu. He was about to drive him away, but Xi Yu hurriedly said softly, "Don't be afraid, old man. We have no ill intentions. We just want to find out what happened in Wangjiazhuang and seek benefits for the people here. These gifts are just a token of my appreciation. If you can tell me something, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

The old man looked around carefully again, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he slowly moved aside and let Xi Yu enter the house.

When Xi Yu stepped into the house, the old man hurriedly closed the door. The dim light in the room flickered, reflecting the old man's worried face.

The old man lowered his voice and said, "Sir, I took the risk of letting you in because I saw your sincerity. The Wang Family Manor is not something you can easily mess with. You know, they usually bully around here. If anyone dares to say no, the consequences will be terrible."

Xi Yu looked around the simple furnishings in the house, and felt even more deeply about the oppression suffered by the villagers.

He clasped his fists solemnly towards the old man and said, "Old man, thank you for your trust. Now that I am here, I am not afraid of those things. I hope you can tell me more about the details. I will definitely not let you get into trouble."

The old man frowned, and asked with doubt and worry: "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with you, why are you so persistent? If you don't want to pass by Wangjiazhuang, you can take a detour. Although the journey is a little longer, it can also ensure your safety. Why bother to get involved in this muddy water?"

Xi Yu bowed slightly and responded solemnly and firmly.

"Old man, this is not about meddling in other people's business. If everyone avoids it out of fear, the evil deeds of Wangjiazhuang will spread wantonly, eroding this land like a cancer. Innocent people will never have a peaceful life and will be forced to endure endless exploitation and oppression. I have justice in my heart, how can I turn a blind eye?"

He paused, his eyes burning with anger. "Besides, how can we allow evil forces to be so rampant in this open and aboveboard world? I must get to the bottom of this, give justice to the people, and make the law of the country show its majesty. I will never let Wangjiazhuang continue to do evil!"

The old man looked at Xi Yu's determined eyes, shook his head slightly and sighed: "Young Master, you don't know that the power of Wang Family Manor is complicated and it is not as easy to deal with as you think. Even if you are so determined, once they target you, you will be in big trouble."

"Old man, I understand your concerns, but if you retreat because of fear of difficulties, then you are truly hopeless. Don't worry, I will act carefully."

Seeing that Xi Yu had made up his mind, the old man sighed helplessly. After hesitating for a while, he lowered his voice and said to Xi Yu, "Sir, let me tell you the truth. The farmers guarding the checkpoint were just hired to keep up appearances. The one who really managed this behind the scenes is a man named Wang Henghua."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, with a bad feeling in his heart. Before he could ask in detail, the old man sighed and said, "The reason why Wang Henghua can be so arrogant is because he has a relative, the woman of the current prime minister. I heard her name is Gan Mei. With this relationship as a support, he can walk sideways in this area, and no one dares to mess with him."

Xi Yu was stunned for a moment, and was greatly shocked. He quickly asked, "Old man, are you sure this is true? What kind of relationship is this Gan Mei with him?"

The old man shook his head helplessly.

"I just heard other people talking about it in private, so I don't know the details, sir. But no matter what, Wang Henghua's power is not something that ordinary people like us can contend with, so you'd better not provoke him. It's better to stay away from him."

Xi Yu's expression became more and more solemn. He knew in his heart that if this matter was related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would be extremely difficult. But how could he sit idly by and watch the people suffer from it?

He clasped his fists towards the old man and said, "Old man, thank you for telling me the truth. Don't worry, I know what's going on and I won't act rashly. But I can't let this kind of injustice continue."

After bidding farewell to the old man, Xi Yu walked alone, thinking, "Is Wang Henghua really related to Gan Mei, or is he just acting under her name? This matter must be investigated thoroughly. We must not let the people continue to suffer this hardship, nor can we allow that evil person to act recklessly based on his unfounded relationship."

Xi Yu's steps became more determined. Although he knew that the road ahead would be difficult, he had made up his mind to clear away the fog, give justice to the people, and let the truth come to light.

After Xiyu said goodbye to the old man, he quickly found Luo Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, let's go back to where we are staying tonight. It's better to rest early."

Luo Xiaoyu responded, and the two of them walked towards the designated farmer's house.

Soon, the two arrived at the farmer's house.

At this time, Xiaohong had already been waiting in the yard. When she saw them coming, she hurried forward to greet them.

Luo Xiaoyu asked: "Xiaohong, is everything arranged properly?"

Xiao Hong smiled and nodded: "Everything has been arranged. We are just waiting for you to come back."

After that, the three of them went into the house together, ready to spend the night here.

Xi Yu said to Luo Xiaoyu with a serious expression: "Xiaoyu, I just learned important information from the old man. The mastermind behind setting up the checkpoint is Wang Henghua, and he is related to Gan Mei."

Luo Xiaoyu was surprised and blurted out: "Gan Mei? Isn't she your wife?"

Xi Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "It is not clear whether Wang Henghua is really related to Gan Mei or is just acting under her name. This matter cannot be underestimated and must be carefully investigated tomorrow. Let's take a rest today and recuperate."

After saying that, Xi Yu stopped talking and prepared to rest, while Luo Xiaoyu fell into deep thought, thinking about where to start investigating this complicated and difficult matter tomorrow.

As Xi Yu finished speaking, Luo Xiaoyu suddenly said curiously: "Prime Minister, I heard that you have secret guards around you. They act secretly and have great abilities. Why not let the secret guards investigate?"

After hearing this, Xi Yu waved his hand with a firm look.

"No need, I will go there tomorrow and get to the bottom of this matter."

Seeing that Xi Yu was determined, Luo Xiaoyu said no more and nodded silently in agreement.

The next day, the sun shone on the road, and Xiyu, Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong came to the checkpoint again.

When the villagers saw them, they showed surprise on their faces. One of them couldn't help but said, "Why are you here again? Didn't we already see yesterday?"

Xi Yu looked calm and determined as he looked at them and said, "We are here today to look for Wang Henghua."

The villagers were stunned for a moment. They had obviously not expected that these people had actually found out everything behind the scenes and knew that it was Wang Henghua who was in charge of this checkpoint.

But soon, a villager curled his lips and shouted sarcastically: "Hey, there are only a few of you. You don't even know your own weight and weight, and you actually want to see our boss. Don't you think you are nothing? Our boss is someone you can see whenever you want."

After saying that, he spat on the ground. Upon seeing this, the other villagers also started laughing, their eyes full of disdain, as if they were waiting to see these people make a fool of themselves.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, but he was not angry. He just said in a calm tone: "We came here with no ill intentions, but there are some things we need to ask him in person. I hope you can help pass on the message and don't cause trouble for yourself."

The villagers laughed even more wildly, as if they had heard a huge joke.

Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression serious, and then said in a loud voice.

"If you insist on not letting me see Wang Henghua today, you will bear the consequences yourself. Don't regret it then."

Several villagers were stunned at first, then they started to whisper to each other. Some showed disdain and said loudly: "Oh, this guy is too arrogant, he really takes himself seriously." Others just laughed and mocked: "Humph, he really thinks he is the prime minister? Didn't he use the tiger skin and pull the banner yesterday, saying that he had something to do with the prime minister? I think he is just bragging, don't you know where you are, and dare to speak nonsense here."

The laughter echoed at the checkpoint, revealing a strong sense of sarcasm, but Xi Yu still had a calm expression and was unmoved. He just stood there quietly, as if waiting for their response.

Xi Yu looked up and saw a pavilion not far from the checkpoint. He immediately said to Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, "You guys go wait in the pavilion first."

Although Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong were a little worried, they still walked towards the pavilion as instructed.

Xi Yu then turned around and looked at the villagers with a cold gaze. He said in an unquestionable tone, "Go tell Wang Henghua to come to the pavilion within half an hour. If he doesn't come, he will bear all the consequences."

After saying that, without waiting for the villagers to respond, he walked straight towards the pavilion. His back revealed a sense of determination, leaving only a few villagers there, who looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

One villager was so angry that he couldn't stop cursing. His face turned red. He shouted: "This guy is so arrogant. He really thinks this place is his home. He dares to boss people around like this. Why doesn't he take a piss and look at himself?"

But another villager frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I think we should inform the boss. Judging from the attitude of this man, he might have something to rely on. Let's not offend someone rashly."

The third villager curled his lips and retorted disdainfully: "Why do you want to do that? Wouldn't that mean you're afraid of him? If we go and call the boss so easily, people will laugh at us for being cowardly."

The man who had just suggested notifying the boss quickly waved his hand and explained, "It's not that we're afraid of him. We're asking the boss to come out and give him a good lesson, so that he knows who has the final say in this land, and he won't continue to show off his power here."

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

So, one of the villagers did not dare to delay any longer and ran to where Wang Henghua was, ready to tell Wang Henghua everything about the situation here so that he could deal with Xi Yu, this "ignorant" person.

Xi Yu walked to the pavilion slowly, sat down slowly, looked around, and said leisurely: "The scenery here is quite good. It is a good place to enjoy the scenery on weekdays."

After that, he smiled at Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, his eyes showing some confidence, and said softly: "I knew that I could definitely lure Wang Henghua here by using that provocation. With his arrogant personality, how could he tolerate such 'provocation'? Wait and see, I must clarify things with him today."

After hearing this, Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong were still a little worried, but seeing Xiyu so confident, they felt a little relieved.

Wang Henghua lived in the most prominent house in the village, which was luxurious with carved beams and painted rafters.

At this moment, he was comfortably hugging two pretty women, and the room was filled with laughter.

At this moment, the hurried villager rushed into the house in a hurry, breaking the joyful atmosphere.

Wang Henghua frowned immediately, his face full of displeasure, and quickly let go of the two women, stood up, and cursed at the villager: "You blind thing, why are you running around? Can't you see that I'm having a good time? You ruined my good thing. What do you want to do? If you don't have anything serious to do, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

The villager was frightened, but did not dare to delay and quickly told the whole story of what happened at the checkpoint.

Wang Henghua shouted angrily, "What? There is such an arrogant guy, running wild in my territory, what are you still standing there for! Just beat him up for me, why did you come to inform me about such a trivial matter, you are really a bunch of rubbish!"

The villager was scolded so much that he dared not say a word. He could only respond submissively and hurried back to report the news.

After returning to the checkpoint, they told the other villagers what Wang Henghua said. Those villagers immediately became excited, picked up the weapons at hand, and walked towards the pavilion aggressively. When they arrived at the place, they didn't say any more words. They knocked the sticks in their hands on the ground and said viciously: "Hmph, today I'll let you know the consequences of being reckless and arrogant. Brothers, let's do it!" As they said that, they swarmed towards Xi Yu, ready to fight.

Seeing this, Xi Yu just sneered, his eyes full of disdain, and said loudly: "Why, your master is not coming? You dare to attack me with just a few of you, I advise you to think carefully about the consequences. If you really start a fight, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Can you bear the consequences?"

After saying that, he still sat steadily on the stone bench in the pavilion, without any fear, as if these aggressive villagers in front of him were just some clowns.

Xiaohong said in a trembling voice, "Xiaoyu, I'm scared."

Although Luo Xiaoyu was a little nervous, she still pretended to be calm. She immediately held Xiaohong's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Upon hearing this, Xiaohong threw herself into Luo Xiaoyu's arms, her body shaking constantly.

Luo Xiaoyu hugged Xiaohong gently, but her eyes were firm.

She looked at the angry villagers and the calm Xi Yu in front of her, and knew that the conflict was about to break out.

Xi Yu sat in the pavilion, watching the villagers' actions coldly, with a disdainful sneer on his lips.

He spoke slowly, his voice was not loud but full of authority.

"Why, your master isn't coming? You guys dare to attack me, I advise you to think about the consequences. If you really start a fight, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Can you afford the consequences?"

After saying that, he still sat steadily on the stone bench in the pavilion, without any fear, as if these aggressive villagers in front of him were just some clowns.

Xi Yu raised his eyebrows, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted into the void: "What are you still standing there for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze in an instant, and then, in the shadows, there was a rustling of clothes. Several secret guards, like ghosts in the dark night, swooped out from the hidden corners around the pavilion.

They were dressed in uniform black tights, their postures were agile, and their movements were in unison, like a black undercurrent.

Their faces were covered with black iron masks, leaving only their eyes exposed. Their eyes were cold and sharp, as if they could see through people's hearts.

The neat and solemn formation instantly frightened the villagers.

The villagers, who originally had fierce faces and aggressive looks, suddenly turned pale and their eyes widened, as if they had seen evil spirits from hell.

The burly man closest to the secret guard began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, and the wooden stick he was holding high in his hand fell with a clang, hitting his foot without him noticing it.

His lips trembled, and he tried to pretend to be calm and say something harsh, but the sounds he made were all broken syllables: "You...you guys..."

An elderly villager nearby knelt down with his legs weakened, clasped his hands together, and begged: "Sir, please spare us, we are just being ordered around, we have no choice!"

His forehead touched the ground and his body shook like a sieve. Sweat and tears mixed together, leaving grooves on his dusty face.

Some villagers were so frightened that they turned around and tried to run, but their legs became weak and they stumbled and fell, struggling to crawl.

There were constant cries of panic from the crowd: "Help, we are wrong!"

"Don't kill us, it's all a misunderstanding!"

The whole scene was in chaos. The previous arrogance had long disappeared without a trace, leaving only endless fear and despair spreading in the air.

The man who had previously tipped off the matter, trembling with fear, told the truth.

He stammered, "I... I have already informed Master Wang Henghua about what happened here, but Master Wang said it was just a small matter and there was no need for him to come in person. He just asked me to find a few villagers to teach you three a lesson." (End of this chapter)
