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

At this time, the big man heard Zhao Qiang's yelling and scolding, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he laughed loudly. His laughter was full of arrogance: "Humph, look, who else dares to go against me? Be sensible!"

After saying that, he let go of the hand that was pressing on Zhao Qiang and walked forward with a swagger, looking very arrogant.

At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves, and the coachman rode over like lightning, shouting: "You beast, today is the day you should be punished!"

The big man heard the voice, stopped, turned his head to look at the coachman, sneered and said: "Hey, your friend was almost beaten to death by me, and you still dare to come, are you afraid of dying and rushing to die?"

The coachman was not afraid at all. He pulled the reins suddenly, stopped the horse quickly, sat steadily on the horse's back, and confronted the big man with determination in his eyes.

At this tense moment, a majestic voice suddenly sounded: "Who is so bold!"

It was Xi Yu who got off the carriage.

When the people around saw that it was indeed the Prime Minister, they were immediately surprised and started whispering to each other, thinking that there would be a good show to watch and that the bully would definitely be punished.

But the burly man was a man who didn't know the real man. He didn't know Xi Yu at all. He was stunned at first, then sneered and shouted at Xi Yu with disdain on his face: "Hey, who are you, you little brat? How dare you meddle in my business?"

The coachman who was listening to this was angry and anxious, and he shouted loudly: "You blind and reckless man, how dare you insult the prime minister? You deserve to die! Today is the day you die, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy!" His voice was trembling with anger, he was really angry at the arrogance of this big man.

When the burly man heard this, he froze in his place, staring at Xi Yu with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief. It took him a long while to come back to his senses, and he stammered, "What? You...you are the current prime minister?"

Zhao Qiang then struggled to get up from the ground, rubbing his body which was hurt from the beating, and walked towards Xi Yu.

Xi Yu hurried forward and asked him with concern: "Are you okay?"

Zhao Qiang said with a bitter face: "Prime Minister, I was beaten up severely by this bastard just now, and now my whole body is still in pain."

Xi Yu frowned, turned to the coachman and said, "Hurry up and take Zhao Qiang to Song Shuwen's clinic and ask the genius doctor to help check his injuries. Leave this to me."

As he spoke, he told the coachman the exact location of the clinic in detail.

The coachman did not dare to delay and hurried forward to help Zhao Qiang up. The two of them hurried towards the clinic, leaving Xi Yu and the burly man who had not yet recovered from his shock confronting each other.

After that, Xi Yu looked at the burly man with cold eyes, his gaze like a knife, and asked in a cold tone: "Humph, I would like to ask, who gave you the courage to rush around and act recklessly in Youzhou City?"

Just at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, "dong dong dong", it was Chen Shou rushing over.

As soon as he saw the burly man, he recognized him immediately. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He hurried to Xi Yu and said angrily: "Prime Minister, it was this beast who caused trouble in the inn that day. He was very arrogant!"

The burly man also recognized Chen Shou, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. He cursed with a strong smell of alcohol, "Humph, I never thought that you, a hateful thing, would also come to Youzhou. What, do you want to taste my fist again?"

As he spoke, he still looked ignorant of the danger and extremely arrogant.

At this moment, a cold light flashed in Xi Yu's eyes. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard.

With a crisp "slap" sound, the slap landed hard on the big man's face, causing his head to tilt.

The big man suddenly became angry and his face turned red. He cursed and waved his fist, ready to attack Xi Yu.

He said that the prime minister in front of him must be a fake and he was not afraid.

But how could he be Xi Yu's opponent? It was naturally a piece of cake for Xi Yu to deal with such a reckless "little ant".

Before the big man's fist could hit him, Xi Yu had already flashed and kicked out, swiftly and powerfully hitting the big man in the abdomen.

With a scream of "Ouch", the big man was kicked to the ground like a torn bag. He couldn't get up for a long time, still groaning in his mouth. His arrogance was suppressed in an instant.

Xi Yu sneered inwardly, thinking that he often saw the secret guards fighting, and he had learned a lot of moves by watching and hearing them, so he could be said to have learned them by himself.

The big man struggled to stand up from the ground, rubbed his stomach which was sore from being kicked, and started cursing again.

Xi Yu frowned and said seriously, "You are lucky today. You met me and I can spare your life. If you continue to be so arrogant, if you meet a tough guy one day, you will probably die countless times with your ability."

Those timid people who had originally been silent and could only watch silently, now seeing that Xi Yu was in control of the situation, gradually gained courage.

An old man stood out from the crowd, trembling, and said indignantly: "Such a lunatic actually dared to openly oppose the Prime Minister. It is truly a great rebellion, and it is simply not a pity that he should die! Prime Minister, such evil deeds must not be tolerated. I hope you can follow the law of the country and exterminate his entire clan to serve as a warning to others, so that the people like us can regain peace."

His words immediately attracted the approval of the people around him.

"Yes, Prime Minister, we must not let him off easily!"

"Only by exterminating all nine generations of his clan can we demonstrate the majesty of the national law!" For a time, the crowd was outraged, and calls for severe punishment rose one after another, echoing in the streets.

At this time, the burly man looked at the indignant faces of the people around him, and listened to everyone shouting to exterminate his entire clan. His heart began to beat fast, and his original arrogance diminished a lot, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

He swallowed, looked at Xi Yu again, and asked cautiously: "Are you...are you really the Prime Minister?"

Xi Yu sneered, his eyes full of majesty and disdain, and he said slowly: "Humph, someone has impersonated me before, but how can anyone impersonate me so easily? I am the prime minister of the court, how can this identity be fake? You are so lawless today, wantonly looking for trouble, you should have expected such consequences."

After saying this, he stood with his hands behind his back. His demeanor made it clear to everyone else that he was of extraordinary status.

Afterwards, Xi Yu calmly took out the token symbolizing the prime minister's status from his arms and held it high. The token flashed with a unique light under the sunlight, and everyone around him saluted respectfully when they saw this.

When the burly man saw the token, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

But a moment later, he seemed to have gone mad. He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. There was a sense of despair and madness in his laughter: "Hahaha, if that's the case, then just kill me. Anyway, I've lived enough in this life. I've been muddle-headed all day long. There's no point in living. Dying in the hands of the Prime Minister will be a final destination for my miserable life!"

After saying this, he stiffened his neck, looking like he had given up hope, but his slightly trembling body still revealed his inner fear.

Afterwards, Xi Yu slightly raised his hand and made a light wave towards the void. In an instant, several black shadows flashed. They were the secret guards who had been hiding in the dark to protect Xi Yu.

Xi Yu's face was grim, and he ordered the secret guards: "Put this madman in jail for the time being, and we will conduct a thorough investigation later. We must find out his background and the reason why he acted so arrogantly."

The secret guards took the order and stepped forward to subdue the burly man without saying a word.

The big man did not struggle, and allowed the secret guards to take him away. He still had no intention of begging for mercy, but was still laughing. The laughter echoed in the street, revealing a bit of sadness and determination: "It would be better to die. For me, it would be a relief. I'm tired of this messy life!"

After saying this, he followed the footsteps of the secret guards and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a group of people who could not stop admiring Xi Yu, marveling at the prime minister's majesty and fairness.

Zhao Qiang and the coachman hurried all the way and finally arrived at the clinic.

As soon as he entered the clinic, he saw Song Shuwen sorting out the medicinal materials. The coachman hurried forward and said, "Are you Dr. Song? The Prime Minister asked us to come here. My friend was beaten on the road. Please help to check the injury." Song Shuwen raised his eyelids, his expression was indifferent, and he replied indifferently, "Humph, no matter who asked you to come, since you are injured, let me take a look first."

After saying that, he put down the herbs in his hand, walked towards Zhao Qiang, and prepared to check his injuries.

Song Shuwen began to treat Zhao Qiang skillfully. He first checked the wound carefully, muttering about the condition of the injury from time to time, and then methodically performed a series of operations such as applying medicine and bandaging.

Not long after, Xi Yu also hurried to the courtyard of the clinic.

As soon as he came in, he saw the coachman standing in the middle of the yard, looking into the house with a slightly anxious look.

Xi Yu hurried forward and asked, "Has Zhao Qiang started treatment? How is the situation?"

The coachman saw that it was Xi Yu who came, and hurriedly replied: "Prime Minister, Dr. Song is treating Zhao Qiang in the house, he should be almost recovered by now."

As he spoke, he looked towards the house again, hoping that Zhao Qiang would get better soon.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Song Shuwen and Zhao Qiang walked out together.

Zhao Qiang looked at Xi Yu, bowed slightly and said, "Prime Minister, I heard your voice in the room just now. I really didn't expect that you would care so much about a small person like me."

Xi Yu waved his hand and said calmly: "There's no need to be so polite. It's fate that we met each other."

Then he said to the coachman, "Zhao Qiang is injured now and has difficulty moving. They should stay in Youzhou to recover. Don't rush back to your hometown so that you can recover from your injuries."

When Zhao Qiang heard this, his eyes were filled with gratitude. He hurriedly clasped his fists towards Xi Yu and thanked him repeatedly. The coachman also nodded continuously, his face full of emotion.

The coachman hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister, what is the situation now?"

Xi Yu's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Humph, I've ordered the secret guards to put that beast in jail. Let him stay in there for a few days to reflect on himself. We'll investigate him in detail later and make sure to find out his whole story."

A fierce look flashed across Zhao Qiang's eyes, and he said viciously: "Although I am not a good person, I just like to steal things for fun, but I will never be as rude and arrogant to others as he is."

When Song Shuwen heard what Xi Yu said, he was immediately surprised. He turned to look at Zhao Qiang and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What? You were a thief before?"

Zhao Qiang blushed immediately, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said awkwardly: "Dr. Song, that's all in the past. I have already reformed and will not do those stupid things again. Please don't be prejudiced against me because of this."

After hearing this, Song Shuwen nodded slightly and said "Oh". The expression on his face then eased a little. He thought that since he had already changed, there was no need to dwell on the past.

Xi Yu looked up at the sky.
He straightened his clothes and said, "Now that I have finished my business here, I will go back to the government office first. I have many affairs to attend to, and I need to go back and sort them out carefully. You can rest and recuperate in Youzhou. If you need anything, please send someone to let me know."

The coachman and Zhao Qiang nodded quickly. The coachman stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Goodbye, Prime Minister. You care about the world and work hard day and night. Your concern for little people like us shows your kindness and generosity. Brother Zhao Qiang and I will return to the inn and will follow your instructions and take good care of our injuries."

Zhao Qiang also clasped his fists and saluted, his eyes full of gratitude: "Prime Minister, I will never forget your kindness. After I recover from my injuries, if you have any orders, I will not refuse even if it means death."

So, the two of them said goodbye to Xiyu and walked slowly towards the inn side by side.

Zhao Qiang was limping slightly. Seeing this, the coachman reached out and helped him into the carriage, saying jokingly, "You've suffered a great loss this time, but it's also a blessing in disguise that the Prime Minister has shown such favor to you."

Zhao Qiang smiled bitterly.

"Don't mention it again. I will be more careful in the future and will never let myself get into this situation again."

The coachman said seriously, "Brother Zhao Qiang, this is not something you can avoid just by being careful. I really admire you for being so brave to rush forward and fight that villain. To be honest, if it were me, I would have been scared to death and would not have the courage to face such a fierce man."

Zhao Qiang smiled sheepishly, scratched his head and said, "Haha, it's strange. I used to be a despised thief, sneaking around all day, thinking only of how to get something for nothing. I never thought I could do something so brave recently. Not to mention you, I can't help but admire myself. This is probably what they call a prodigal son returning home. After going through all this, I don't want to go back to the muddle-headed days of the past."

After hearing what Zhao Qiang said, the coachman's face broke into a sincere smile and he nodded repeatedly. His heart was full of joy, and he was happy that Zhao Qiang could have such a transformation.

The two of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they arrived at the door of a familiar inn.

The inn was bustling with people coming and going, and the waiter's enthusiastic shouts could be heard from time to time, as if welcoming them back.

The coachman and Zhao Qiang smiled at each other, then stepped into the inn, ready to take a good rest and recuperate from their injuries.

As soon as the coachman and Zhao Qiang stepped into the inn, the waiter saw them coming back and his eyes suddenly lit up, with a look of joy on his face.

He knew very well in his mind that the Prime Minister had personally instructed that the expenses of these two people would be paid by the Prime Minister's Office. So these two guests in front of him were distinguished guests who could not be offended, so he had to curry favor with them.

So the waiter hurriedly went up to greet him with a smile on his face.

"My two lords, you are finally back. You should have a good rest today. If you need anything, just tell me. I will definitely do it for you two."

He bowed as he spoke, his flattering look evident in the hope that he could satisfy these two people and look good in front of the Prime Minister.

Xi Yu was in the room, his eyes stern, he quickly raised his hands and clapped three times, and in an instant, three black shadows flashed from the shadows like ghosts, knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "What do you want, my lord?"

Xi Yu's face was grim as he ordered, "Go to the border crossing immediately and bring the soldier on duty to see me. Then go to the prison where the big man is imprisoned and check carefully to see if there is any impression of him. Pay special attention to how this person crossed the border. Don't miss any clues."

"Yes, sir!" The secret guards responded in unison, and then disappeared from the spot with a flash of their bodies. Only a slight breeze gently passed by, proving that they had stayed here.

About half an hour later, the soldiers came hurriedly.

Xi Yu's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Today, a madman appeared on the street. He looked like a mad dog and behaved arrogantly. He has been detained. The secret guards will lead you to the prison to identify him later. If he is a foreigner, we will carefully investigate how he entered the city; if he is a local resident, we will immediately check the household registration and find out where he came from."

The soldiers were shocked when they heard this. They did not dare to slack off and quickly responded in unison: "As you command!"

Immediately, he followed closely behind the secret guard and quickly walked towards the prison.

Xi Yu looked at their departing backs with a deep and cold gaze. The doubts in his heart grew stronger. He only hoped that this thorough investigation could uncover the mysteries hidden behind the big man.

After a while, several soldiers came back and told Xi Yu that they did not see this person at the border crossing.

"It's very likely that it's local. Just go back and investigate. Tell me when you have the results."

Several soldiers immediately obeyed the order and left.

Xi Yu remembered what the man said about giving up on himself, saying that it would be better to die.

Even if you want to die, you shouldn't harm others. (End of this chapter)
