Chapter 802: Leaving Together(2/2)
Mrs. Mingyue looked hesitant, and she gently patted Sun Qiushui's hand, her eyes full of helplessness.
"But my sister still has a lot to do, so she can't stay here for a long time."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Sun Qiushui's eyes, so he had to let go of his hand helplessly and whisper: "Okay, sister, be careful all the way."
Mrs. Mingyue nodded, with tears flashing in her eyes. She turned to look at Xi Yu: "Prime Minister, the girl is ready, you can set off."
Xi Yu nodded slightly and the group began to prepare to set off.
In this way, Xi Yu and Mrs. Mingyue turned on the horse, pulled the reins, and the horse's hooves raised some dust and slowly left.
Before leaving, Mrs. Mingyue tied the horse's reins and looked back at Sun Qiushui who was still standing there, her eyes full of concern: "Sister, now the Prime Minister has found out the truth. The truth is revealed to the world. Those people in the village should not dare to bully you anymore. You should live a good life."
Sun Qiushui had tears in her eyes, but she forced herself to prevent it from falling and nodded vigorously.
"Sister, I understand. Take care of yourself all the way. Prime Minister, thank you for your kindness. Just leave with confidence. Don't worry about me, I will take good care of myself."
After saying that, she waved at the two of them.
Xi Yu nodded slightly and rode away with Mrs. Mingyue. His figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road, leaving only Sun Qiushui standing there for a long time.
Xi Yu and Mrs. Mingyue galloped all the way, and the dust raised from the horse's hooves formed a faint fog behind her.
Along the way, neither of them spoke, and they were thinking about their own thoughts.
I don’t know how long it took, a small town appeared in front of me. Xi Yu tied the reins.
"We'll take a break here."
Mrs. Mingyue nodded and responded.
The two of them got off the horse and walked into the town, found a teahouse to sit down.
There were people coming and going in the teahouse, mostly travelers. They ordered tea and dry food to replenish their energy.
Mrs. Mingyue’s destination this time was not Youzhou, but Qinzhou, where there were affairs that she had to deal with.
Halfway through the journey, the two had to part ways.
Mrs. Mingyue stopped her horse and stopped, her eyes full of reluctance. She looked at Xi Yu quietly, her lips slightly opened, as if there were thousands of words but she didn't know where to start.
Xi Yu also looked at her and nodded slightly.
After a long time, Mrs. Mingyue finally watched Xi Yu ride away. The departing back gradually blurred in her eyes, but was deeply imprinted in her heart.
Shuai Xiyu's figure completely disappeared from his sight. Then Mrs. Mingyue turned her horse's head and walked slowly towards a path of sheep intestines.
The contact with Xi Yu these days has caused Mrs. Mingyue's heart to ripples.
The unique macho aura of Xi Yu, with a hint of tenderness in her majesty, wise and courageous, made her heart beat involuntarily.
Whenever he approached him, Mrs. Mingyue could clearly feel a strange feeling that she had never experienced before spreading in her heart.
However, she quickly woke up. She was just a man in the world and was wandering around, so how could she deserve such a noble person as the Prime Minister?
This feeling can only be buried deep in her heart, like a treasure buried in the soil, without seeing the sun, can only shine silently in the darkness alone, but can never show it to others.
Xi Yu quickly rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion soon after.
As soon as he stepped into the mansion, before he could change his clothes, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Although Sun Qiushui's affairs were finished, this reminded him of the concept he had heard of in his previous life - the statute of limitations for prosecution.
In his memory, many cases will no longer be investigated after a certain period of time due to the existence of this statutory limitations.
This is unacceptable to him.
He knew very well that some sins are still sins even after years, and the pain of the victims will not disappear as time passes.
So, Xi Yu frowned and had plans in his heart.
He decided to cancel the statute of limitations for prosecution.
After that, if a case needs to be thoroughly investigated, there should be no longer a time limit. Justice should be upheld at any time, and guilty people must not escape sanctions because of time.
Xi Yu was very resolute and quickly formulated and issued the law to cancel the statute of limitations for prosecution and ordered it to be vigorously promoted nationwide.
The news spread rapidly across the country as if it had grown wings.
Since then, those who have committed crimes, no matter how big or small the crimes have passed, can no longer be lucky.
The entire Han Dynasty was shocked by the implementation of this law, and some of the people applauded.
On this day, after Xi Yu handled government affairs, a problem that he had ignored for a long time suddenly appeared in his mind.
That day, he rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with great anxiety. When he passed by a small stall, he accidentally knocked the mung beans on the stall and scattered all over the floor.
At that time, he was unable to stay because he was in trouble, but this matter was always in his mind.
He decided to set out immediately and look for the stall.
He knew very well that although he was the prime minister, he should take responsibility if he did something wrong. Apologizing to the stall owner was something he had to do.
But the owner of the stall last time was a woman, a widow, her husband died early, and now he only depends on his young daughter.
That day, she watched the mung beans on her stall scatter all over the ground, and she was shocked and angry.
She hurriedly asked people from the surrounding shops, and someone told her that it was a horse riding man who was galloping past.
She was full of resentment and couldn't help but curse for a long time: "Which beast is so reckless, these mung beans are the livelihood of our mother and mother!"
She cursed and was busy cleaning up, but the mung beans were scattered on the ground, and some of them had been trampled. She felt very distressed and could only helplessly pick out the bad mung beans and throw them aside. Her eyes were full of despair. The losses of these mung beans were undoubtedly worse for her.
The woman's name is Zeng Rou. The loss of Mung Bean that day made her feel angry, and her emotions were as uncontrollable as a flood that broke into a dam.
