Chapter 680 The Secret Guard Reports(2/2)
Chen Shou frowned, his eyes full of confusion: "If the Prime Minister has any difficulties, you might as well say it directly. Maybe I can help you."
Xi Yu shook his head gently and sighed: "It's really just a trivial matter, don't worry about it."
Seeing that Xi Yu was reluctant to say more, Chen Shou didn't want to ask again, but just said, "Okay, if the Prime Minister needs it, please speak at any time."
On this day, Guan Yu brought the accompanying soldiers into Fangjun majestic.
However, as soon as he entered the city, Guan Yu looked solemn and asked the soldiers to put shackles on him.
He straightened his backbone, his eyes firm but with deep self-blame, and he loudly claimed: "I, Guan Yu, are a sinner, have lost the treasure that the Prime Minister gave me!"
The people around him gathered around him, whispering and pointing at him.
Guan Yu faced everyone's eyes fearlessly, and his frown brows and tense corners of his mouth showed the heaviness and guilt in his heart.
The soldiers accompanying him showed no tolerance, but they did not dare to disobey Guan Yu's orders.
Sighs came from time to time in the crowd.
Guan Yu was unmoved and walked towards the palace step by step with shackles.
In the palace, Liu Bei was discussing political affairs with his advisers when a guard suddenly came to report Guan Yu's actions in Fangjun.
When Liu Bei heard about this, he was shocked and the bamboo slip in his hand fell to the ground with a "splash".
"How can Chang Chang be like this!" Liu Bei's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
He didn't care about anything else, lifted up his robe and hurried out.
As soon as I left the palace gate, I happened to meet Guan Yu who was wearing shackles.
Guan Yu looked haggard, but still had a tall figure.
Liu Bei stepped forward a few steps, his eyes full of distress and anxiety: "Chang Yun, why are you doing this!"
When Guan Yu saw Liu Bei, his eyes were red and his voice was hoarse: "Brother, Guan Yu is guilty and lost his treasure, and is willing to be punished."
Liu Bei grabbed Guan Yu's arm and said hurriedly: "Chang Yun, don't say that, let's make a long-term plan."
Guan Yu shook his head and said firmly: "Brother, this matter has happened because of me. I cannot implicate my brother and brothers."
Liu Bei frowned and looked worried: "Yunchang, you and I have the same brotherhood as brothers, so why bother to implicate me? I will definitely not let you bear it alone."
At this time, the people around him also surrounded him and whispered.
Liu Bei looked around and said to Guan Yu, "Chang Yun, follow me into the palace first, and then make plans."
Guan Yu stood stubbornly and said, "Brother, I have made a big mistake and should not enter the palace again."
Liu Bei's eyes were moist and he raised his voice and said, "Chang Yun, if you don't listen to your elder brother, you will be punished with you!"
At that time, at the entrance of the palace, there were crowds of people, and many people stretched their necks to watch here.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu with a firm look on his face and his thoughts were turbulent.
His eyes swept across the many curious and emotional faces around him, and thought to himself: It would be a good thing that so many people saw Guan Yu’s honest look. If Xi Yu blames him in the future, he may be able to plead with him.
Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Guan Yu, his eyes full of care and worry, and said softly: "Chang Yun, this incident made me feel very distressed by my elder brother."
Guan Yu straightened his body with a resolute face and responded: "Brother, Guan Yu dares to do things and will never retreat."
Liu Bei held Guan Yu's arm tightly, nodded slightly, and said firmly: "Good brother, my brother will face it with you."
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Guan Guan is so righteous!"
Liu Bei glanced at the crowd, looked at Guan Yu again, and said in a low voice: "Chang Yun, look at the reaction of this people, maybe we can have a more chance of winning."
Guan Yu sighed and said, "I just want to be ashamed of my heart. Brother, don't worry too much."
Then, Liu Bei and Guan Yu walked into the palace under the gaze of everyone.
After entering the palace, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to sit down and rest first, while he paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about solutions.
"Chang Yun, this matter may not be settled easily." Liu Bei stopped and said worriedly, "That Xi Yu is narrow-minded and may not let you go easily."
Guan Yu looked calm, "Brother, Guan Yu put life and death aside, just worried that he would implicate his elder brother."
Liu Bei turned around suddenly and looked at Guan Yu with a firm look, "What is Yun Chang's words? You and my brothers should share the joys and sorrows."
While walking out, Liu Bei turned around and said, "Chen Yun, I have already ordered some rich people in Fangjun to donate to help the poor. Therefore, to a certain extent, it can prevent the poor from rioting, which is also an explanation."
There was a little fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still firm.
Guan Yu clasped his fists and nodded with a serious expression: "Brother, I admire him for his thoughtful consideration."
Liu Bei walked to Guan Yu, patted his shoulder lightly, and said earnestly: "Chang Yun, don't think about the treasure anymore. Since you have come, stay in Fangjun for a few days before leaving."
Guan Yu raised his head slightly and responded firmly: "As long as you agree with your brother."
In the street market outside, many people gathered together and started talking.
"I originally hoped that we could live a better life if we could get that batch of treasures, but Guan Yu actually lost the treasure!" An old man with a vicissitudes of face shook his head and sighed, with a look of disappointment and helplessness.
"What does it mean to be lost? I think it must be Guan Yu who hid it!" A thin man shouted at the top of his throat, his eyes full of suspicion and anger.
"That's right, maybe Guan Yu and Liu Bei conspired to embezzle the treasure!" A woman in coarse linen next to her followed and agreed with an indignant look on her face.
"Nonsense! Guan Governor Guan is unrighteous, how could he do such a thing!" A young man couldn't help but retort with an excited expression.
"Hmph, I know people, but not my heart. Who knows what they are secretly planning!" someone said sarcastically.
Everyone was talking and arguing endlessly, and the whole market was filled with an atmosphere of tension and suspicion.
At this time, a man who looked like a teacher stood up. He stroked his beard and said slowly: "Don't make a conclusion. Everyone has heard of General Guan and Liu Gong on weekdays, and perhaps there is something else in it."
"What can there be hidden? It's the fact that the treasure is gone!" The thin man refused to give in.
"Everyone is calm and the truth will always be revealed. Don't slander good people just by guessing." The teacher looked serious.
