Ouyang Lian immediately reacted, tidied up his clothes, took a step forward, saluted respectfully and said, "Ouyang Lian, the governor of Fang County, greeted the Prime Minister." His voice trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with shock and nervousness.

Everyone present was so surprised that they couldn't stop hearing the conversation.

The originally noisy discussion came to an abrupt end, and everyone's face was filled with astonishment.

Their eyes moved back and forth between Ouyang Lian and Xi Yu, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

The shop owner was even more scared and his face turned pale and his legs became weak.

He never expected that the person he had been provoking was the prime minister.

His body began to tremble involuntarily, his mind was blank, and he felt that a disaster was coming.

Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Lian and felt mixed feelings. He recalled the scene when he met Ouyang Lian before, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

He raised his hand slightly and said, "Governor Ouyang doesn't have to be too polite."

Ouyang Lian slowly stood up, with awe and confusion in his eyes. He never expected that the person he had known was the noble prime minister.

The shop owner stood aside, beads of sweat as big as beans on his forehead rolled down. He didn't know what kind of punishment would be waiting for him.

Xi Yu's eyes slowly swept across everyone and finally fell on the owner, with an unpredictable look in his eyes.

Ouyang Lian looked ashamed and lowered his head slightly and said, "Prime Minister, I didn't expect that the friend I just made today was you. I didn't say my real name at that time. I hope the Prime Minister won't blame him." His tone was full of uneasiness and uneasiness.

Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Lian, smiled slightly, and said, "I never thought you were Ouyang Lian, and I didn't say my real name." There was a hint of understanding in his eyes.

Ouyang Lian felt relieved when he heard Xi Yu's words. He raised his head and showed sincerity in his eyes: "Prime Minister, what happened today is really an accident. If there is any offense, please have a lot of it."

Xi Yu waved his hand slightly and said, "Don't be so nervous. Today's incident also made me see your character." There was a little more appreciation in his eyes.

Xi Yu turned around and pointed at the shop owner with a torch.

He raised his chin slightly, with a serious expression, and said, "Is this your cousin?"

Ouyang Lian looked in the direction pointed by Xi Yu, and saw the owner shivering, his eyes dodging, and he did not dare to look at him.

Ouyang Lian's heart suddenly sank. He knew very well that his cousin likes to cause trouble on weekdays.

At this moment, he saw his cousin's appearance, and he felt that he had definitely not done anything good.

Ouyang Lian frowned, with a bit of sternness in his eyes, took a step forward, and asked, "What did you do?" His voice was low and majestic.

The owner's lips began to tremble slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He secretly looked up at Ouyang Lian, then quickly lowered his head, and unconsciously rubbed the corners of his clothes with both hands.

He was extremely scared and thought about how to make up excuses to get through.

"I...I didn't do anything, cousin." His voice was trembling with obvious tremors, and his eyes were unstable.

Seeing his guilty look, Ouyang Lian was even more sure that he had done something wrong.

He took a deep breath, tried to suppress his anger, and said, "To be honest! What's going on?" His eyes were staring at the shop owner, as if he wanted to see him through.

Xi Yu hugged his hands in front of his chest and looked at them quietly, with a faint smile on his lips.

He wanted to see how Ouyang Lian would deal with this matter.

The woman stood aside with expectation in her eyes, hoping to be treated fairly.

The crowd around also became quiet and was waiting to see how things went.

The owner felt his eyes pricking him like a needle. His body trembled slightly, and his mind was in chaos, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Ouyang Lian stepped forward and asked again: "Say! What did you do? Don't force me to ask someone to check it out."

His voice rose a little, with irresistible majesty.

The owner felt that he had nowhere to escape and hesitated whether to tell the truth.

The owner lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "I...I just gave that woman less than a pound."

As soon as he said that, Ouyang Lian's eyes widened and his anger suddenly popped up.

He raised his hand without hesitation and slapped the shop owner hard in the face with a "slap".

The owner's face was slapped to one side, and a clear slap mark immediately appeared on his face.

Xi Yu hugged his chest with his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "And he also said you are his cousin, so he is fearless here and feels that no one dares to deal with him."

When Ouyang Lian heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over. He raised his hand again and slapped the owner in the face.

The slap was harder than before, and the owner was beaten to the ground and almost fell to the ground.

"You bastard! You actually do evil under my banner. Isn't this slandering me?" Ouyang Lian roared angrily.

The owner covered his face, tears rolling in his eyes. He was both scared and aggrieved, muttering in a low voice: "Cousin, I know I was wrong..."

Ouyang Lian didn't listen to his explanation at all, turned to the woman, bent down slightly, and said with guilty expression: "Miss, I'm really sorry, I'm not good at discipline."

The woman waved her hand in fear and said, "Sir, this... it's not your fault."

Xi Yu looked at this scene, nodded slightly, and said, "Governor Ouyang, your cousin should really be disciplined."

Ouyang Lian stood up straight, looked at Xi Yu, and said, "Prime Minister, I'll make you laugh. I will definitely give you an explanation for today's affairs."

After saying that, he glared at the shop owner again. The shop owner shrank his neck so much that he shook his neck and did not dare to say anything.

When the people around him saw Ouyang Lian so fair and strict, they nodded and praised him.

The shop owner felt extremely regretful at this time. He shouldn't have bullied others by virtue of his power, and now he has caused such a big trouble.

When the shop owner heard Ouyang Lian's decision, he knelt down with a "thump", hugged Ouyang Lian's legs tightly with both hands, and cried, "Cousin, don't, I know I'm wrong, please give me another chance. If my shop is closed, I will have nothing." His face was full of fear and begging, and tears and snot were mixed together.

Ouyang Lian pulled out his legs in disgust, looked at him with cold eyes and said, "If I had known today, why would you have thought of such consequences when you did this."

His tone was firm and there was no room for negotiation.
