A small town called Bei'an.

Chen Ping stood under the dilapidated eaves and looked at the rich shops in the town, with a resolute light flashing in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and turned to his younger brother Chen An and said, "Brother, we must do this and rob the rich. These rich people are accumulating wealth greedily, while we are struggling in poverty."

Chen An frowned, his face full of reluctance.

"Brother, is this really good? We will be in a lot of trouble."

Chen Ping clenched his fists tightly and his tone was firm.

"This is our only opportunity. Only in this way can we pay off our debts better."

Chen An hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Okay, brother, I believe in you."

As night fell, the streets of Bei'an Town were silent. Chen Ping and Chen An quietly approached a rich shop. Gorgeous lanterns hung at the door of the shop, illuminating the stone road in front of the door.

Chen Ping whispered to Chen An: "After you get in later, move quickly and try not to make any sound."

Chen An swallowed nervously.

"I got it, brother."

The two opened the door and entered the store. It was filled with precious goods and radiated a luxurious light. Chen Ping quickly picked up a bag full of gold coins, while Chen An looked around nervously.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Chen Ping's face changed.

"No, someone is here, hide!"

They hurriedly hid behind the shelves, their heartbeats quickly. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the lights in the store also lit up.

"Who is there?" A stern voice rang.

Chen Ping and Chen An held their breath and dared not make a sound. The footsteps echoed in the store, and then gradually faded away.

After waiting for a while, they finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were safe.

Chen Ping looked at the gold coin bag in his hand, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"We succeeded, brother. This money can help us change our lives."

However, Chen An's mood became heavier.

"Brother, is it really right for us to do this? Although we got some money, we hurt others."

Chen Ping was silent for a moment, then gently patted Chen An on the shoulder.

"Brother, this world is not fair. Why do we have to be so poor because they are so rich?"

Chen An thought about his brother's words, but his heart was still full of contradictions.

They left the shops of the rich and blended into the night. The streets of Bei'an town were still quiet, as if nothing had happened.

On this day, the sun was shining, and Xi Yu led a group of people into Bei'an City Gate in a mighty manner.

But the scene in front of them shocked them.

At the gate of the city, a group of people kneeled, their expressions of anxiety and despair.

Xi Yu was full of doubts, and he immediately signaled everyone to ask about the situation.

Zhao Yun jumped off the horse, walked towards the group of people, and asked gently: "What's going on? Why are you kneeling here?"

One of the wealthy businessmen raised their heads, eyes full of tears, "General, we are all merchants from Bei'an City. Recently, our shop was stolen and robbed, and some people even took our family as hostages and robbed many of our property. We heard that King Xi Yu passed by here and asked to make a decision for us!"

Xi Yu's face became serious. He looked at these poor wealthy businessmen and felt a sense of righteous indignation in his heart.

"Don't worry, since I, Xi Yu, will not sit idly by. Please tell me more details and I will do my best to help you get back what you have lost."

The wealthy businessmen were talking about their own experiences, and Xi Yu listened carefully and nodded from time to time to express his understanding.

At this time, the streets of Bei'an Town were filled with a tense atmosphere.

People stopped and watched, whispering. Xi Yu looked around and saw that the shops on both sides of the street were closed, as if they were afraid of being implicated.

Xi Yu comforted the wealthy businessmen, "Don't be afraid, I will find out the truth as soon as possible and bring the thieves to justice."

He turned to say, "Let's check the stolen shop first and look for clues."

A trace of doubt surged in Xi Yu's heart, and he looked at the wealthy businessmen with sharp eyes.

"Why don't you look for the local county magistrate?"

A wealthy businessman said angrily: "We have already reported the case to the county magistrate, but he always stammers. We suspect that he has taken the benefits of the thief!"

Xi Yu's face turned gloomy.

"If things really do, this person will definitely be severely punished!"

Afterwards, Xi Yu and several generals planned to stay in the inn.

At this time, a wealthy businessman named Qin suggested: "King, I have many empty rooms in my house. Why not stay in my place? You can live more comfortably."

Xi Yu thought about it and thought it was a good idea, "It would be fine if that's good, then it would be a blessing."

The wealthy businessman named Qin nodded with a smile.

"It is my honor to be able to serve the king."

So, Xi Yu and his group followed Qin Fushang to his mansion.

The Qin family mansion is spacious and elegant, with green trees and bustling flowers and plants in the garden. Xi Yu lived in a beautifully decorated room and felt a hint of tranquility.

At night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling in the Qin family's courtyard. Xi Yu stood in front of the window, thinking quietly about the clues of the case. He knew that it would take more time and effort to uncover this mystery.

The next morning, Xi Yu decided to go to the county government alone to find out the truth.

At the entrance of the county yamen, several yamen runners were chatting and laughing, and their voices echoed in the air, as if this was not an office place, but a noisy vegetable market.

Xi Yu looked at this scene and his anger gradually rose.

He walked forward and said seriously: "I want to meet the county magistrate and ask for important things."

One of the yamen runners glanced at him casually, "The county magistrate doesn't have time to receive you, you might as well go back quickly."

Xi Yu's voice was a little majestic.

"I came for the wealthy businessmen in Bei'an City. How could the county magistrate ignore their shops?"

Another yamen runner sneered.

"You are meddling in other people's business, so the county government will naturally deal with it."

Xi Yu's brows frowned tightly.

"You are the ones who neglect their duties! I must report this to the superiors."

Several yamen runners looked at each other, with a hint of disdain on their faces.

"Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, go and sue!"

Xi Yu was very angry, but he suppressed his anger.

"I will make you regret it."

Xi Yu called his secret guard and issued an order: "Let me teach a lesson for a few ungrateful yamen runners to let them know what responsibility is."

The secret guard took the order and left, appearing like a ghost.

Several yamen runners did not notice the danger approaching. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of them, causing a sense of fear to surge in their hearts.

"Who is it?" a yamen runner asked tremblingly.

The black shadow did not answer, but just took action quickly.

After a few fists and feet, the yamen runners lay on the ground and moaned. Their faces were filled with pain and fear, and they had no previous arrogance.

Xi Yu saw him walking into the county government with a swagger.

In the county yamen, the county magistrate was sitting in the study, hugging two beauties, looking leisurely and contented.

"Mr. County Magistrate, I'm so excited." Xi Yu's voice echoed in the study.

The county magistrate widened his eyes and looked at the strange man in front of him.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass the county government!" His voice was full of majesty.

Xi Yu smiled slightly.

"I'm here to ask for an explanation for the wealthy businessmen in Bei'an City."

The county magistrate was shocked. He did not expect that this stranger would know about the wealthy businessmen.

"How did you know about this?" His eyes became sharper.

Xi Yu said calmly: "I heard from the wealthy businessmen that their shop was robbed, but the county magistrate ignored it."

The county magistrate's face changed.

"What is your identity? Why do you ask me?" There was a hint of anger in his voice.

Xi Yu's mouth raised.

"I'm Xi Yu."

The county magistrate was shocked. He did not expect that the stranger in front of him was Xi Yu.

"You... are you King Xi Yu?" His tone became respectful.

Xi Yu nodded. "That's right, I came here to find out the truth and seek justice for the wealthy businessmen."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on the county magistrate's face.
