Among them, an elderly man frowned and said with anger: "It's him. That day I saw him running out of the Zhao girl's house in a panic. He looked like he had done something wrong. Wasn't he just bullied Tian Yue's miserable sister?"

The others also agreed and talked about the scene they saw at that time. For a moment, accusations rushed towards Dongfang Hong.

Dongfang Hong's face turned pale, angry and anxious, and she defended loudly: "You all admit your mistakes. I have never done anything like that. It's someone who is framed me!"

But few villagers were willing to believe his words and still stared at him with anger.

Dongfang Hong's face was so angry that her face turned red, and she immediately scolded the villagers.

"You are simply nonsense. How can you speak so irresponsible! You just point out randomly, why do you think I did it?"

But those people were all stalking, saying with certainty that he did it, and did not listen to Dongfang Hong's defense at all.

Dongfang Hong was so angry that she had to argue again. Xi Yu hurriedly reached out to hold him and whispered: "Stop talking for now. I see that there is probably someone who looks very similar to you, so everyone admits it wrong."

As soon as these words were said, the villagers immediately stopped and accused Xi Yu.

"What are you talking nonsense? How can we admit our mistakes when we see it with our own eyes!"

They didn't know Xi Yu's identity at all, so they just thought he was an ordinary outsider who was making trouble here.

Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Zhao Tianyue quickly shouted loudly: "Don't say it, this person is the prime minister!"

This sentence was like a bombshell. When the people heard it, they were shocked. Some even subconsciously took several steps back, their faces full of astonishment.

Someone in the crowd came to his senses and hurriedly asked Zhao Tianyue: "Why don't you say it in advance? If you bump into the Prime Minister, what should I do?"

Xi Yu looked at the people who looked frightened, with a gentle smile on his face and said, "Don't be afraid. I came here today just to investigate the situation clearly, not to make things difficult for everyone. Although Dongfang Hong is my friend, I will never just look at him, and I have to pay attention to evidence in everything."

However, after hearing this, many people still looked full of suspicion on their faces and were muttering in private, obviously not believing what Xi Yu said.

Zhao Tianyue also looked at Xi Yu at this time, and said with a bit of confidence in his tone: "The reason why I didn't tell you your identity just now is to let these fellow villagers tell the truth without any scruples. Now you should understand. What they said is the truth. There is no situation where you recognize the wrong person at all. It is the bad thing that Dongfang Hong did. You can't favor him."

After saying that, he looked at Dongfang Hong with a provocative look, as if he was saying, "You can't argue now."

Xi Yu explained to them patiently, then changed the subject and asked, "Have you heard of Jia Xu?"

Everyone was stunned at first, then an old man thought about it and nodded slowly.

Xi Yu continued, "Jia Xu is also a member of my camp, but I have not tolerated him because he committed a serious crime."

The old man nodded again and responded: "That's true, Prime Minister."

Xi Yu smiled slightly and continued, "So everyone can rest assured. I have always believed in the justice of the law and will never favor anyone. Now, I want to find a place to sit down and ask some people to tell me in detail about the situation at that time, so that I can understand this matter."

After hearing this, the old man looked at Xi Yu for a while, and then said, "I also heard that you are a good person and should not be unfair to deal with things. So let's listen to the Prime Minister."

When the other villagers heard the old man say this, they looked at each other and nodded in agreement, no longer as resistant as before.

It just so happened that there was a dilapidated temple in the village, and there was a place inside that could accommodate several people sitting down and talking.

So everyone walked towards the dilapidated temple. However, no one had taken care of the dilapidated temple for a long time, and as soon as they entered, they smelled an old and decayed smell.

The room was covered with dust and cobwebs were everywhere.

Seeing this, the old man and Zhao Tianyue started working with several other enthusiastic villagers and cleaned up briefly.

After all, I wiped the table and chairs and freed up a pretty clean area.

Then, everyone sat down together.
