Tian Chong looked at his back and sighed helplessly.

The secret guards were like ghosts, and according to the address provided by Yu Yu, they quietly came to the place where the three brothers lived.

He lurked carefully in the yard, trying not to make a sound.

Through the window of the main house, the secret guard saw the three brothers sitting around the table having a drink.

Their faces were filled with cheerful smiles, and they spoke loudly, and laughter echoed in the room.

Xi Zhicai sat quietly in a corner, his eyes a little lonely, which was in sharp contrast to the fun of his brothers.

The secret guard decided to take action late at night.

Xi Yu stood in the courtyard, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his brows frowned slightly, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

He quickly sent someone to inform Zhao Yun and asked him to take Jia Xu's body to the city gate.

After a while, Zhao Yun brought Jia Xu's body to the city gate.

Xi Yu also arrived there soon, with a serious expression on his face and a cold and firm look on his face.

The people gathered around and whispered to each other.

Xi Yu stood on a high place and shouted to the people: "Everyone, Jia Xu is dead now. I found his body on the road and killed him! At the beginning, he was rescued by someone else and had nothing to do with me."

Xi Yu's voice echoed at the city gate, and his expression was solemn and decisive.

"Jia Xu violated the national law, I, Xi Yu, will never forgive him!" Xi Yu continued, with an inviolable majesty in his eyes.

When the people listened to Xi Yu's words, some showed a surprised expression, while others nodded in agreement.

And Xi Yu stood there like a firm statue, his figure looked particularly tall in the sun.

Xi Yu stood at the city gate, looking at the reactions of the people around him, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Many people showed sudden enlightenment and whispered to each other: "It turns out that we blamed him wrongly, and thought he let Jia Xu go privately."

At this time, a commoner came up and said to Xi Yu with apologies: "Sir, we were wrong before, and we misunderstood you, please forgive me!"

Xi Yu looked at him, a smile appeared on his face, and said embarrassedly: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you. In that case, it's normal for everyone to think so."

When he said this, a hint of blush appeared on his face. After all, Jia Xu actually died of the plague. He said this, there was something about seeking fame and reputation in it.

His eyes dodged a little, and he did not dare to look at the people, and his heart was filled with guilt.

When the people looked at Xi Yu, their eyes were full of admiration and gratitude, and their attitude towards him was even more respectful.

Xi Yu waved his hand and asked someone to arrange for Jia Xu to be buried.

Seeing Jia Xu's body being carried away, he sighed secretly.

The body has been dealt with recently and has used spices, otherwise it would have smelled a long time ago.

Xi Yu turned around and quietly approached Zhao Yun, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness on his face, and asked, "Zhao Yun, am I too hypocritical just now? I feel something is wrong with doing this."

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, looked at Xi Yu seriously, and said, "Sir, this is not hypocrisy, it is a good strategy. You do this to stabilize the people's hearts, there is nothing wrong with it."

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Xi Yu's expression on his face slightly eased, but he was still a little confused.

He pursed his lips and left.

The night covers the earth and the moon is hazy, covering the entire yard with a mysterious veil.

The secret guards were hiding in the darkness, like beasts waiting for an opportunity, staring at the main house.

In the house, the three brothers gradually fell asleep after drinking and eating.

The two brothers were lying on the bed in the same room, snoring slightly, and sleeping soundly.

The other brother slept with Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai turned his back to him, breathing evenly and calmly.

The moonlight shone through the window on Xi Zhicai, reflecting his slightly tired face.

His brows frowned slightly, as if he was also feeling a little sad in his dream.

The room was filled with a faint smell of alcohol, and in the quiet atmosphere, there were only a few occasional cries of insects, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The third child in the same room as Xi Zhicai.

The secret guard sneaked into the room like a ghost. Before the third brother could notice it, he quickly stuffed a pill into his mouth.

The third brother rolled his throat and continued to fall asleep, with no sign of waking up.

Xi Zhicai was awakened by the sudden movement. He sat up suddenly, his eyes full of surprise and fear.

The secret guard lowered his voice and said, "Don't speak, I was sent by the Prime Minister.

Xi Zhicai was slightly stunned, then as if he had remembered something, the horror on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a look of relief.

The secret guard approached Xi Zhicai and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Xi, please follow me first, and I will deal with them later."

Xi Zhicai nodded slightly, with a trace of determination on his face, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The secret guard and Xi Zhicai quickly walked towards the entrance of the village.

At the entrance of the village, a carriage had been waiting here, and several soldiers were pulling the carriage.

The secret guard said to the soldiers: "Send Mr. Trick to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"

Xi Zhicai looked at the carriage in front of him and felt a little relieved. He turned to look at the secret guard, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

The secret guard looked at Xi Zhicai getting on the carriage and was about to go back to deal with the three brothers, with firmness and coldness in his eyes.

As the carriage galloped, Xi Zhicai quickly returned to the residence of the three brothers.

He walked into the yard lightly and found that everything was still quiet, as if nothing had happened.
