Chapter 843: Someone collects protection fees(2/2)
Xi Yu frowned and was secretly annoyed. Unexpectedly, revealing his identity not only did not work, but was also humiliated like this. It seems that this matter is becoming more and more difficult today.
Luo Xiaoyu wanted to continue to argue, but Xi Yu raised her hand to stop her, with an unquestionable meaning in her eyes.
Then, Xi Yu turned his horse's head and slowly left with Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong.
The three of them walked a long way until the village checkpoint was almost gone. Luo Xiaoyu was still confused. She frowned and looked at Xi Yu with confusion, and asked, "Prime Minister, why don't you let me tell me about your identity? As long as you show your identity, the villagers will definitely not dare to be so presumptuous."
Xi Yu sighed slightly, looked at the road ahead with a deep look, and said slowly: "We should not be able to cause trouble now. Those villagers are so arrogant, probably because there is a reason behind them. If they show their identity rashly, if they cause more trouble, it will be detrimental to our next trip. But don't worry, I will investigate this matter secretly to see what the village is doing."
Although Luo Xiaoyu was still a little unwilling to accept this, she felt that Xi Yu was right, so she nodded and stopped talking. She just secretly looked forward to Xi Yu being able to find out the matter as soon as possible and give them justice.
Xi Yu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Past experiences surged into my heart like a tide, and there was an experience in which others had misunderstood their identity and accidentally sent him to prison.
At that time, he endured himself in difficulties, and then fought back with his wisdom and strategy, slapped those who once despised him in the face.
But at this moment, he was full of worry and had no intention of repeating such a refreshing revenge scene.
He knew very well that the unhealthy trends in this village were like a cancer. If they were not eliminated, more innocent people would be harmed.
He was determined to investigate the matter thoroughly, uproot the unhealthy trends in this village, and restore the place to a bright light, so that justice can be maintained.
Xi Yu tied the horse's reins and said to Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong with a serious expression: "Although we will eventually go to Kunlun Mountain, we must not just forget about the matter in this village. We must find out the truth."
Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong looked at each other and nodded.
Luo Xiaoyu responded: "The Prime Minister is right. If such unhealthy winds are allowed to grow, I don't know how many passers-by will harm. We should indeed figure it out."
Xiaohong also echoed: "Yeah, then let's start checking."
Afterwards, the three of them drove their horses to the nearby village, intending to inquire about the situation there.
After some inquiries, they already knew that the place where the level was set was named Wangjiazhuang.
After knowing the name, Xi Yu thought in his mind that as long as he followed this clue, he would be able to dig out the secret hidden behind it and rectify the chaos as soon as possible.
They sought people around the village to find out what was going on in Wangjiazhuang.
I happened to see an old man sitting at the door of his house basking in the sun, so I walked up to ask.
Xi Yuke politely said: "Old man, we want to inquire about the situation in Wangjiazhuang. Why do we have to set up checkpoints to collect currency when entering the village?"
When the old man heard this, his eyes flashed. He was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Oh, I...I don't know much about anything else. You should go and ask others." He stood up as he said, as if he wanted to go back to the house to hide quickly.
Xi Yu knew in his heart that the old man was probably scared. Perhaps the villagers dared not say much about the Wangjiazhuang.
But the more this happens, the more it means that there is something not simple behind it. It seems that we have to find a way to let this old man go to let go of his concerns and tell the truth.
Later they went to other places to continue inquiring.
However, every time I find out about that place, many people stammer and refuse to say more.
