Chapter 584: Becoming taller(1/3)
But there are no airtight walls in the world.
This incident still spread like wildfire.
People's discussions surged like a tide.
"Have you heard that? Jia Xu was rescued."
"That's all right, this must be the ones that Prime Minister Xi Yu had."
"Yes, it's reasonable for Xi Yu to do this, but his methods are too bad. He actually killed so many yamen runners."
The morning sun shines strongly on the lively streets, and the stone roads are shining brightly.
Wenxuan hurriedly walked among the bustling crowd with the intention of buying the four treasures of the study.
"Have you heard of it? Jia Xu was rescued, it must be the Prime Minister!"
"That's right, his methods are so bad that he even killed many yamen runners!"
Wenxuan stopped suddenly as if he was struck by lightning, his face full of shock.
Her heart was turbulent, and Xi Yu's image in her heart instantly collapsed.
She could not accept such unfounded accusations and shouted angrily: "Without evidence, how can you talk nonsense!"
The other party did not show any weakness. One of them retorted in a tough tone: "Hmph, everyone says that, then it must be him!"
Wenxuan's voice trembled with anger. She pointed at the people and said sternly: "Everyone will say it in vernacular terms. You are spreading rumors and slandering!"
The emotions of several people were also instantly ignited, and they surrounded them and confronted Wenxuan.
"What we are talking about is the fact!"
"I'm talking to him like this, what do you have to do with him?"
"Even if he is the prime minister, I have to speak."
Wenxuan's chest was fluctuating violently, and her voice became louder and louder.
"Unreasonable! You are making random guesses without any evidence!"
The quarrels became louder and louder, echoing on the streets like thunder, attracting people around to stop and watch. The originally noisy street suddenly became silent.
Those who spoke suddenly felt that this kind of discussion was a bit inappropriate.
After all, it is a serious crime to behead the prime minister.
They stopped arguing with Wenxuan, so they ran away quickly.
Wenxuan's heart was so angry that he was undulating, and he pinched his waist with both hands.
The sun is still bright, shining on the magnificent gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, reflecting dazzling light.
Wenxuan came to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion angrily. She had already forgotten about it when she was going to buy the four treasures of the study.
The soldiers guarding the gate learned that she and Xi Yu had a good relationship.
So she didn't stop her and let her go in.
In the yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong were walking leisurely, enjoying this quiet time.
"Hey, Wenxuan, why are you so angry?" Ouyang Linlin asked curiously.
"I heard something about Xi Yu on the street, and I was so angry that I forgot to buy the four treasures of the study." Wenxuan frowned tightly.
Xiaohong said, "What's the matter? I'm so angry."
Wenxuan then told all the rumors he heard on the street.
"How is this possible? The Prime Minister is not such a person." Ouyang Linlin said in surprise.
"That's right, how can you just talk nonsense without evidence?" Xiaohong also echoed.
"I wouldn't believe that such a thing is happening, so I have to meet the Prime Minister now."
Next, Wenxuan stopped talking to them, but walked quickly towards Xi Yu's room.
In the room, Xi Yu frowned and was struggling with pain.
He knew that Jia Xu had to die, but at the same time he was sad that he was about to lose this mouthpiece.
At this time, Wenxuan walked in angrily.
Xi Yu looked at her and showed a hint of surprise, not understanding why she was so angry.
"Xi Yu, do you know? I heard something about you on the street!" Wen Xuan said angrily.
Xi Yu felt nervous and asked quickly: "What's the matter?"
Wenxuan told the rumors he heard on the street, and Xi Yu was shocked after listening to them.
"Someone actually rescued Jia Xu? What's going on?" Xi Yu's voice was filled with shock.
Wenxuan nodded.
"I don't know what's going on, but I've never done anything like this before!" Xi Yu's eyes were full of determination and grievance.
Wenxuan looked at him and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
"I believe in you, Xi Yu. We must find out the truth and give you a cleansing." Wenxuan said.
Xi Yu nodded.
"Thank you, tell me about this."
"I just quarreled with someone else for this matter."
Wenxuan also told him about the quarrel with others.
"Okay, I will investigate this matter, you should go buy something."
Wenxuan had to leave.
Xi Yu's thoughts surged like a tide.
Ouyang Linlin quickly walked into the room.
Her pace was firm and eager.
"Husband, I definitely believe in you, there must be something strange about it."
"Is someone deliberately framed me?" Xi Yu's voice was filled with a hint of confusion and uneasiness.
Ouyang Linlin nodded and said, "It's very likely."
Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I'm asking someone to call Wang Liang here now and ask him if he knows what's going on."
As he said that, he immediately sent someone to summon Wang Liang.
Wang Liang sat alone in the study, feeling heavy and filled with pain and helplessness.
"Why is it so difficult for me to just be a good official?" He sighed secretly, with a hint of confusion and frustration in his eyes.
Just then, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door.
Then the voice of the yamen runners came: "Sir, the Prime Minister has sent someone to pass on you."
Wang Liang's heart tightened, not knowing whether it was a bad or a good time to go there.
"I understand." He stood up slowly, tidied up his clothes, and said helplessly.
He took a deep breath and walked out the door with heavy steps.
Wang Liang stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
Ji Yu, who was waiting for him in the study, looked equally ugly, as if he was covered by a layer of dark clouds.
In the study, both of them had their faces tense.
Xi Yu stared at Wang Liang and asked in a serious tone: "Wang Liang, what's going on with Jia Xu? Have you known it a long time ago? Why don't you report it to me?"
Wang Liang's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
Then he slowly raised his head and replied in a low voice: "Prime Minister, the lower official just learned that Jia Xu was rescued. He did not receive any relevant reports before."
But he was complaining in his heart that you had rescued the person, but you still pretended to scold me.
It's simply outrageous.
Wang Liang sighed helplessly: "The Xiaguan doesn't know why this situation occurs. The Xiaguan is guilty, so please punish the Prime Minister."
After saying this, Wang Liang knelt down.
The sun shines on the bustling streets, with people coming and going, and the noise is endless.
Su Yu was in a hurry.
"The Prime Minister has come back, I have to go and discuss the matter of handling newspapers with him." Su Yu thought to himself.
As he walked, he unconsciously heard the people around him talking about Xi Yu.
Su Yu listened to these comments and showed a very surprised expression on his face.
"How could this happen? How could the Prime Minister do such a thing?" he thought to himself.
