The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

He seemed to have seen death approaching him step by step, but at this moment, he could do nothing but suffer in fear.

Xi Yu was concerned about this matter and immediately decided to tell Dongfanghong the good news as soon as possible.

So he came to Youzhou College again and found Dongfanghong's office as if he was familiar with the place.

Dongfanghong happened to be in the house. When she saw Xiyu coming, she quickly stood up to greet him.

Xi Yu smiled and said, "The matter has been investigated clearly. The criminal who pretended to be you has been arrested and is now imprisoned in prison."

Dongfanghong was delighted when he heard this. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Haha, I knew that with your ability, you can definitely get to the bottom of this matter. But you are the prime minister now. If you have any questions, just let me know. Why do you need to make this trip in person? It's too much trouble."

After saying that, he enthusiastically pulled Xi Yu to sit down, ready to reminisce about the past.

Xi Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing what Dongfang Hong said. He gently waved his hand and said, "You, stop being so talkative."

As he spoke, he told Dongfanghong the general circumstances of the Lu Yun case from beginning to end.

Dongfanghong nodded slightly after listening to it, and then said thoughtfully: "The reason why the county magistrate is so enthusiastic about investigating this case is because you, the prime minister, arranged it. If it were an ordinary case, they might not have gone to such great lengths to investigate it. In the final analysis, it is because of your great reputation that this matter has a result so quickly."

Xi Yu reached out and handed Dongfanghong Lu Yun's confession letter and the human skin mask made in the image of Dongfanghong.

Dongfanghong took it and looked at the human skin mask carefully. She found that the mask was made extremely realistically and at first glance it looked so real that it could be mistaken for the real thing.

He couldn't help smacking his lips and sighed, "Good fellow, I admire this criminal a little. Just looking at his skills, he is really a 'talent'. It's a pity that he didn't use his skills in the right place."

But when he learned that the other party had the idea of ​​making the mask because he saw him coming out of Youzhou College, Dongfanghong was immediately furious and frowned and said, "I am so unlucky. I was targeted like this and was used by him to do bad things."

Xi Yu nodded in agreement and said, "This man is indeed a talent. He was able to create such a realistic human skin mask just by looking at it a few times. This is not something that ordinary people can do. It's just that his mind is too crooked and he only does illegal things."

Dongfanghong asked with concern: "So what do you plan to do with this criminal?"

Xi Yu shook his head and said slowly: "Don't kill him yet. Keeping him will be very useful in the future. Maybe he will come in handy someday."

Dongfanghong couldn't help but look puzzled after hearing this.

Seeing this, Xi Yu patiently explained: "Think about it, sometimes he can use a human skin mask to impersonate me. For example, if there is a war with a foreign country in the future, this is a way to confuse the enemy. Although the world is relatively peaceful now, the world is unpredictable. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen in the future?"

Dongfanghong suddenly realized what was going on, and quickly gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "You are really thoughtful. This is really a thoughtful idea. I didn't think of this. You are worthy of being the Prime Minister."

Then, Dongfanghong suddenly recalled the incident of Zhao Tianyue wrongly accusing her, and she felt even more upset. She immediately made up her mind and said, "Zhao Tianyue wronged me so much before. I have to find a time to go to his village and clarify the matter. I can't let everyone misunderstand me forever."

Xi Yu smiled, nodded and said, "The reason why I gave you this human skin mask is because I wanted you to do this job. With this solid evidence, your explanation will be more convincing, and it will also help everyone understand the truth and no longer misunderstand you."

Dongfanghong nodded and said firmly, "Okay, I'll go to that village tomorrow and explain this matter clearly to everyone."

After hearing this, Xi Yu stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, and said, "In that case, there is nothing else to do here, so I will go back first."

Dongfanghong hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, saying enthusiastically, "Hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I'll treat you to dinner tonight, so we can take this opportunity to get together."

Xi Yu smiled and waved his hands, responding sincerely: "It's really unnecessary. You have been wronged in this matter and suffered so much for nothing. How can I let you have another meal? I appreciate your kindness, but I won't eat the meal. Let's talk about it next time we have a chance."

After saying that, he walked out the door.

After nightfall that day, Chen Shou and Shi Daming came to a quiet town.

There are scattered lights on both sides of the town's streets, exuding a unique atmosphere of fireworks.

Shi Daming was in high spirits and suggested walking around and taking a look.

Chen Shou heard this, curled his lips helplessly, and said: "Even if I don't want to go, I guess you will definitely let me go."

Smith smiled, his eyes revealing an unquestionable meaning, and said: "If you don't go, then I will stay here with you. Anyway, no matter what, you must stay with me and can't leave my sight."

Chen Shou sighed inwardly, thinking that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to respond: "In that case, I will go with you."

After that, he followed Smith to the streets of the town.

They strolled leisurely on the streets of the town, looking at the various street stalls and passers-by, and found it quite interesting.

After a while, Shi Daming's attention was suddenly attracted by a figure. Not far ahead, he saw Linglong and Xu Dabao walking on the street, talking and laughing.

Smith's eyes widened in surprise. He thought to himself, "Isn't this the princess? I didn't expect to find her here!"

However, he quickly calmed down and decided to keep quiet.

He knew very well that if he rashly went up to say hello now, given the princess's temper, she would definitely not acknowledge his identity, let alone follow him obediently, and he might even mess things up.

So, Shi Daming quickly turned his face away, pretending nothing had happened, but his eyes couldn't help but secretly pay attention to the movements of Linglong and Xu Dabao.

After a while, Xu Dabao and Linglong walked slowly past them. Linglong was chatting happily with Xu Dabao and didn't notice Shi Daming at all.

After a while, Smith saw them walking in another direction and decided to follow them quietly.

Then, he told Chen Shou with a serious face: "Wherever I go, you have to follow me. Don't ask anything, just be obedient."

Chen Shou was somewhat reluctant to listen to him, but he knew he couldn't get away with it, so he just muttered in a low voice: "It has been like this these days, how dare I disobey."

After saying that, he followed Shi Daming reluctantly. The two of them followed Linglong and Xu Dabao not too far away.

After a while, Linglong and Xu Dabao had finished shopping and turned to leave the market, apparently preparing to return to their residence.

Seeing this, Shi Daming naturally continued to follow them quietly, with such a focused look on his face, as if he was afraid of losing them.

But Chen Shou was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. He kept wondering: We have already left the market, what else is there to see?

The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became. He couldn't help but whisper to Shi Daming, "Let's go back to the inn. It's late at night and there's nothing to see."

But Shi Daming replied unhappily: "No, just follow me for a while, don't talk too much."

Chen Shou sighed helplessly and had to bite the bullet and continue to follow Shi Daming.

After a while, Shi Daming watched Linglong and Xu Dabao walk into a courtyard, talking and laughing.

Immediately afterwards, with a creaky sound, the door of the house was closed, isolating everything from the outside.

Shi Daming did not dare to act rashly. He crouched carefully and approached the house quietly.

With the help of moonlight and the surrounding dim light, I carefully looked at the door plaque of the house and found that this place is called "Huang Mansion".

He silently memorized this key information in his mind.

At that moment, he decided to go back first, and wait for a suitable time to come here to investigate again, and report the news to King Hesheli.

This would also let the king know the whereabouts of the princess and make a great contribution.

Then, he turned around and left quietly, walking towards the inn, while Chen Shou still followed him with a confused look on his face.

After returning to the inn, Smith's face was filled with uncontrollable joy. He was secretly thinking that this trip was really worth it, it was like killing two birds with one stone.

If only we could both make arrangements for Chen Shou and find the princess smoothly.

When the time comes, if King Hesheli is happy, he will definitely reward himself handsomely, and wealth, honor, high position and generous salary will be no problem.

Seeing Shi Daming so happy, Chen Shou was puzzled and wondered what good thing had happened to him to make him so happy.

However, Chen Shou was not a particularly curious person, so he did not ask what was going on.

It took Smith a while to come back to his senses. He suddenly realized that he was too proud and his emotions were clearly shown on his face.

I was immediately upset.

He quickly suppressed the smile on his face and tried to restore himself to his usual serious expression.

The dawn breaks, and a new day has arrived.

Dongfanghong exchanged a class with another teacher early in the morning, then led out the horse, jumped on the horse, and galloped towards the village where Zhao Tianyue was.

Along the way, there were the sounds of horse hooves and clouds of dust raised.

After entering the village, Dongfanghong carefully asked several villagers about the specific location of Zhao Tianyue's home, and then followed the instructions and came to the gate of a courtyard.

He dismounted, tied the reins casually to a wooden stake beside him, straightened his clothes, and then walked away.

But when I got closer, I found that the door was closed.

Dongfanghong went forward and knocked, and waited for a while, but there was no movement from the door, it seemed that no one was at home. Dongfanghong couldn't help thinking to himself, what a disappointment, I came all the way here, but in the end no one was at home.

But then I thought, I have come such a long way, I can't just go there in vain, never mind, I might as well wait here, maybe he will come back soon.

So he found a place at the door and stood there waiting patiently.

After a while, the door of a nearby house creaked open, and a neighbor came out. Seeing Dongfanghong standing there, he looked him up and down with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing standing here?"

The last time something happened in the village, this neighbor happened not to have seen Dongfanghong, so he didn't know him.

Dongfanghong quickly responded politely: "Hello, I want to ask, do you know where Zhao Tianyue went?"

After hearing this, the neighbor shook his head and expressed helplessly.

"I really don't know. He didn't tell us where he was going."

Dongfanghong felt a little disappointed after hearing this. Now she had to continue waiting.

In fact, the neighbor knew exactly where Zhao Tianyue was. Zhao Tianyue was busy working in the fields at the moment.

But the neighbor thought Dongfanghong looked unfamiliar and had no idea who he was, so he subconsciously felt that he did not look like a good person.

The neighbor began to wonder, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he hurried to the fields.

After a while, he found Zhao Tianyue and said anxiously, "Hey, Tianyue, there's someone standing in your house. I think he's sneaky and I don't think he's a good person. Maybe he's a thief. Go home and check it out. Don't let anything happen to him."

When Zhao Tianyue heard this, he immediately became nervous.

Zhao Tianyue felt very strange and thought to herself, usually her home was deserted and no one came to visit. Who could be coming to see her?

Then he changed his mind and realized that there wasn't anything valuable in his house and he was extremely poor, so how could it be worth it for someone to come and steal from him?

However, even though the neighbors said so, Zhao Tianyue still felt a little uneasy, wondering what if there was something else?

After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to go home and take a look to find out what was going on. So he quickened his pace and rushed towards home.

Zhao Tianyue hurried home in a hurry. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Dongfanghong standing there.

He was stunned for a moment, his heart full of doubts, frowning and asking: "You...why are you here?"

Dongfanghong looked at Zhao Tianyue and said seriously, "Of course I'm here to clarify the things that were wrongly accused of me before."

As he spoke, he reached out and took out the human skin mask from his arms, handed it to Zhao Tianyue, and then said: "Look, this is what the criminal made. The person who pretended to be me and did bad things before relied on this mask. I can't let everyone continue to misunderstand me."

As Dongfanghong spoke, he recounted in detail the entire result of Xi Yu arranging people to investigate the matter.

Finally, he added: "If you still don't believe it, you can go to the prison and ask the criminal, and everything will be clear."

When Zhao Tianyue heard this, he immediately felt very embarrassed and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I believe it now. It was indeed a misunderstanding. I didn't understand the situation before and wrongly blamed you."

Dongfanghong shook her head and said firmly, "That won't do. Many people in your village saw it that day and misunderstood me. Now that I'm here today, I must call them all over and explain the whole thing in front of everyone. I can't let this misunderstanding continue."

Zhao Tianyue nodded quickly and said, "That's no problem. I'll go get people and gather everyone here so you can explain the situation clearly."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Dongfanghong couldn't help but snort coldly when she saw this, and continued to wait quietly at the door, thinking to herself that she couldn't suffer this in vain, and she had to clarify everything in front of everyone, and she couldn't just let it go.

Zhao Tianyue left quickly, but after taking a few steps, he happened to run into the neighbor who was returning.

The neighbor came over with a curious look on his face and asked him, "What's going on, Tianyue? What's going on with that guy? Is he a thief?"

Zhao Tianyue quickly waved his hands and explained, "Hey, I'm not a bad person. I came to see me. I really have something to do. You misunderstood me."

After a while, Zhao Tianyue gathered together those familiar villagers from last time.

After everyone gathered, Zhao Tianyue cleared his throat and said, "Dear uncles and aunts, there is a new situation in the last incident. The person we suspected before was actually not a bad person at all."

Some people grumbled: "It's OK if they are not bad people, why did they call us here?"

Zhao Tianyue scratched his head and said with a smile: "Let's go to him. We misunderstood him before, so it's better to talk it out in person. This is also the etiquette of our village."

Upon hearing this, a straight-tempered uncle immediately glared and pointed his finger at Zhao Tianyue: "You stinky boy, you offended someone yourself, now drag us to apologize to you."

Zhao Tianyue's face flushed immediately, and he waved his hands quickly: "How can that be, uncle, I just think we have to clear up this misunderstanding."

Everyone hesitated for a while, thinking that although Zhao Tianyue's action was a bit rash, he did not have any bad intentions, so they followed him home.

Dongfanghong was waiting at the original place, and after a while he saw the villagers arriving, although their number was not as complete as last time.

But he also knew that this was okay.

At this time, Zhao Tianyue sincerely apologized to Dongfanghong and said that he was too rash last time and made random assumptions without investigating the situation.

"Yes, young man, please forgive him. Of course, we are not good either, and we believe that you are that kind of person." One of the villagers spoke up. (End of this chapter)
