Chapter 584: Becoming taller(2/3)

Su Yu came to the door of Xi Yu's room.

He saw Wang Liang kneeling on the ground, lowering his head, and his body trembling slightly.

Su Yu was shocked and stopped involuntarily.

Xi Yu sat on the chair with a gloomy face.

He glanced at Su Yu and said slowly: "Su Yu, let's talk about the matter of running the newspaper later. I have no time to take care of this matter recently."

His voice was calm and filled with a hint of fatigue.

Su Yu looked at the serious scene in front of him and felt nervous.

He nodded quickly and said softly: "Okay, Prime Minister, then I won't disturb you for now."

After saying that, he carefully retreated and gently closed the door.

In the room, there was only the slight breathing of Wang Liang and the occasional sighs of Xi Yu.

Xi Yu's eyes were as sharp as a rook, staring at Wang Liang tightly, and asked, "Do you think I sent someone to rescue Jia Xu?"

Wang Liang hurriedly kowtowed and replied in fear and trepidation: "I dare not, and I have no such thoughts."

Xi Yu snorted coldly and continued to criticize: "But you must be thinking so in your heart! There are also many discussions on the streets now, and there are many different opinions."

Fine sweat beads oozing out of Wang Liang's forehead, and his voice was firm: "Master, I am loyal to you and have no other intentions. I have a clear conscience, and those rumors are beyond my control."

At this time, Wang Liang became happy.

After hearing what Xi Yu said, things may really have nothing to do with him.

In this way, I don’t have to feel uneasy in my conscience.

Xi Yu looked at Wang Liang and said solemnly: "Wang Liang, I want you to investigate the truth of this matter and to give me a cleansing."

Wang Liang immediately responded: "Don't worry, sir, Prime Minister, I will send someone outside to catch those who are talking nonsense."

However, Xi Yu raised his hand to stop him and said calmly: "Defending the people is more important than defending against Sichuan. Let them say whatever others like to say."

After hearing this, Wang Liang's eyes flashed with admiration.

He bowed deeply and said respectfully: "My lord is very wise, and his subordinates' admiration for him has a little more."

Wang Liang returned to Xianyang.

In the county yamen, the yamen runners sat together and asked Wang Liang who had just returned with concern.

"Sir, has the Prime Minister put on you little shoes?"

Wang Liang frowned, shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it doesn't seem like Xi Yu rescued the person."

As soon as he finished speaking, several yamen runners immediately retorted: "Sir, you are too simple, you must have been deceived by the Prime Minister!"

Wang Liang straightened his body and said with a serious expression: "Now the county must investigate the truth of the incident, so don't talk nonsense anymore."

The discussions of the crowd gradually subsided.

After Wenxuan bought the things, he returned to Youzhou College.

The sun is shining, and the college courtyard is covered with green trees. The breeze blows on the leaves and makes a rustling sound.

Wenxuan held the four treasures of the study and made heavy steps.

There was still a very unhappy expression on his face.

Lu Su was walking in the yard and met her by chance. He asked with concern: "Teacher Wenxuan, why do you look so depressed? What happened?"

It happened that Dongfang Hong also passed by here and came over with concern.

Wenxuan frowned and told everything about Xi Yu outside.

After hearing this, Lu Su's face became very angry.

He said: "The Prime Minister is definitely not such a person! Although I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, I understand his character."

Wenxuan felt very moved after hearing Lu Su's words.

Dongfang Hong also nodded and comforted: "Things will definitely come to light. It is very normal for everyone to talk about it now. Don't worry too much."

Wenxuan returned to the office and sat tiredly on the chair. Dongfang Hong then walked in.

Wenxuan looked at Dongfang Hong and said softly: "Dongfang Hong, go and comfort Xi Yu."

Dongfang Hong frowned and replied: "I don't think there is any need for this."

Wenxuan couldn't help feeling that Dongfang Hong was a little ruthless. She widened her eyes and responded: "He needs the support and comfort of his friends now."

Dongfang Hong shook her head and said firmly, "I can't help much even if I go. This matter should be left to the county magistrate for investigation."

Wenxuan was full of anger and started arguing with Dongfang Hong with excitement.

At this time, the sunlight in the office seemed to become restless and kept jumping on the two of them.

Dongfang Hong held her hands in her chest and insisted on her own point of view.

"I really can't help much, and that doesn't mean I'm ruthless."

At this time, Lu Su walked in.

He frowned and persuaded, "Don't argue, what both of them have made sense, so let's calm down first."

However, Wenxuan is still particularly emotional.

Tears flashed in her eyes, accusing Dongfang Hong of her indifference.

Seeing this, Lu Su winked at Dongfang Hong and signaled him to leave first.

Then he comforted Wenxuan softly, telling her not to be too excited.

Dongfang Hong looked at Wenxuan's excited look and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Women are really a very emotional animal."

He walked silently under the willow tree in the yard and thought quietly.

The breeze blew gently, and the willow branches swayed, as if telling something.

Dongfang Hong was in a little sad mood, and he thought to himself: "If I had encountered such a thing myself, would Wenxuan care about me?"

After a while, Wenxuan finally thought about it. She came to the willow tree, walked to Dongfang Hong, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive just now."

Dongfang Hong sighed and looked at Wenxuan without saying anything.

Wenxuan felt a little strange. Didn’t the other party forgive him?

She couldn't help asking, "Are you still angry with me?"

At this time, Dongfang Hong raised the question again.

"If something happened to me, would you care about me?"

Wenxuan looked at him helplessly, feeling that there were too many things he had, how could he think so randomly?

She shook her head and said, "Why are you always struggling with this kind of problem?"

Next, she left in anger.

After thinking for a while, Xi Yu decisively called his subordinates and ordered seriously: "Post an announcement immediately to clarify that Jia Xu's affairs have nothing to do with me. Now, I will also conduct an investigation myself. If you find out who is helping me, you will definitely punish me."

He knew that the people were talking about him, but he was not willing to care too much. Because he firmly believed in his innocence, those who were purgatory would be clear.

Moreover, it must be written in the announcement that the people can discuss it, but they are innocent.

He then sent his men to the street quickly and posted the announcement in a conspicuous place.

People gathered around the streets and alleys, reading the text on the announcement curiously.

The sun shines on the announcement, shining brightly.

On the bustling streets, a group of people were surrounded by the announcement.

They either whisper or think silently.

"Maybe the matter really has nothing to do with the prime minister." An old man said slowly.

"Look, he's just doing the show!" a young man shouted, his tone full of doubt.

On the other side, several women were also whispering.

"The Prime Minister is usually quite upright, but this time he might be really wronged." One of them said.

"But who knows, people's hearts are unpredictable." Another woman interjected.

Xi Yu turned his head and ordered the people around him: "Go to the guest room to tell Mrs. Jia that her husband has been rescued, so that she doesn't have to make unreasonable trouble here. As for who the rescuer is, it has nothing to do with me."

In the guest room, after hearing the news, Mrs. Jia frowned half-believingly and half-doubtedly.

"He really said that?" There was a hint of doubt in her voice.

The soldier nodded and replied respectfully: "Yes, madam."

Mrs. Jia was silent for a moment, but finally decided to leave here.

She walked out of the room and came to the street.

On the noisy streets, people were talking.
