In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

(Extra chapter for Patrick Star searching for SpongeBob SquarePants, thank you so much.)

A few barely suppressed snickers rang out from the crowd.

"These chopsticks...they're damp! They're not firm!"

The fake Zhao Yu blushed; he naturally knew what had happened. He threw the broken chopstick on the ground.

"I'm not feeling well today, let's do it another day! Another day!"

Hu Yong quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Yes, yes, the general practiced too much last night and is exhausted."

"Let's talk about the donation first..."

"Are you tired?"

Zhao Yu shook his head; they really won't shed tears until they see the coffin.

Pick up a chopstick again and play with it in your hand.

"I don't think it's necessarily because he's tired."

Zhao Yu's voice gradually turned cold.

The previous carefree and dissolute aura dissipated.

"Perhaps it's because a lie can't become the truth?"

"Young Master Zhen, you're drunk!"

Hu Yong's face darkened.

"Someone, see the guest out!"

The axemen on both sides were about to step forward.

Zhao Yu flicked his wrist,

"Since you don't know how, then I'll teach you."

"System, superhuman strength."

"call out--!"

Sonic boom.

The chopstick Zhao Yu threw tore through the air.

Everyone only saw a streak of light flash before their eyes.

So fast that even afterimages couldn't be caught.

And then,

*Pfft—*

Two muffled thuds sounded simultaneously.

A black hole appeared in the center of that golden cauldron.

It was shot right through!

And that bamboo chopstick,

After penetrating the thick wooden cauldron,

The momentum remained undiminished, as if shot into tofu.

It was nailed to the wall behind Hu Yong!

Three points inside the wall!

"Click—"

As for the golden cauldron, after a while, it cracked open from the middle.

The moldy, rotten wood inside was exposed.

What kind of tactic is this?

Can a single bamboo chopstick pierce through gold and split stone?

This must be a deity!

Zhao Yu took off the young master's scarf from his head and casually scratched his hair.

He then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and slowly wiped his hands.

Step by step, they walked up to the high platform.

When you get to the counterfeit,

"What were you trying to say?"

These days, only that person could probably do this.

"Zhao...Zhao..."

The imposter's teeth chattered, and he immediately knelt on the ground, frantically kowtowing.

"Grandpa Zhao! You're a true god! I was wrong! I was blind to your greatness! I was completely fooled!"

Don't insult pigs.

Zhao Yu kicked the cracked fake cauldron away, then knelt down in his original spot.

Look down at Hu Yong.

"Get up here."

Hu Yong scrambled to his feet and pounced on Zhao Yu.

"General, spare my life! This humble official... this humble official was also deceived by this treacherous man! My admiration for the General is as boundless as the surging river..."

"Shut up."

Zhao Yu hated hearing this nonsense the most.

I interrupted him with disgust.

"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. I'll give you half an hour."

"First, return the 'Zhao Yu tax' collected in the past few days, including principal and interest, tenfold to all the people of the county."

"Secondly, you will go to the prison yourself, write a ten-thousand-word letter of repentance, and send it to Xuchang so that the Prime Minister can decide your fate."

"third……"

Zhao Yu pointed to the pile of delicacies on the table:

Don't waste these things.

Let the beggars and vagrants outside come in and eat. As for this fat man…”

Zhao Yu glanced at the imposter.

"Since he likes to pretend to be me, then let him stand at the city gate for three days holding this broken cauldron."

"If you're short an hour, see how I deal with you."

"Did you understand?"

"Got it! Got it!"

"I'll go right away! I'll go right away!"

……

That night, Shuxian County was in an uproar.

The people spread the news with joy.

The legendary immortal who saved the prime minister has arrived.

Not only did they crack down on counterfeit goods,

They even forced corrupt officials to return the money!

Countless people held torches.

They surrounded the county government office overnight, making it completely impassable.

They shouted, "General Zhao is benevolent and righteous!"

Zhao Yu sat behind the roof of the county government office.

Looking at the crowd below, he sighed helplessly.

"What a terrible thing to do..."

"The supervisory structure of the Han Dynasty is truly rotten to the core."

"How could such a terrible thing happen in a place so close to Hefei?"

"System, can I run away now?"

System prompt:

A large amount of worship value was detected in the vicinity, locking onto the host.

If you leave now, it wouldn't fit the "hero" persona. And if the magistrate absconds with the money, it's recommended that you stay for three days to complete the "refund and reassure the people" cleanup.

"Okay, you have a point."

……

The next three days,

Shuxian County experienced an unprecedented "carnival".

If you had asked the people of Shuxian County three days ago, "Who is Zhao Yu?"

They will tell you in fear that it is a demon king who eats children every meal.

But if you ask them now, they'll tell you with tears in their eyes that they're gods descended from heaven.

At the entrance of the county government office,

The people gathered all the donation boxes that had once been used to collect taxes here and then smashed them to pieces.

Then, boxes of silver were moved out of Hu Yong's house.

A petty official with enormous greed.

Zhao Yu was also startled.

How could a county magistrate be so greedy?

Zhao Yu personally rode up on his horse and distributed silver to the people.

"Old Wang, right? How much money did he take from you?"

"Half...half an ounce!"

"Alright, I'll refund you half a tael and compensate you with five taels. Take your men out for a few good meals."

"Here you go, next one!"

"You mean Sister-in-law Li?"

"What did you say? He took all your savings for your funeral?"

"Damn it! Where's that guy, Hu Yong's butler? Where's the coffin your master prepared? Give it to Sister-in-law Li as compensation!!"

It can only be more, not less.

Not one less.

If this thief dares to retaliate again, or if any other thief dares to do the same again.

Zhao Yu also spoke up.

"If anyone dares to bully you again, come find me, Zhao Yu, in Xuchang!"

"If I can't do it, I'll go to Cao Jie, but that's unlikely. If he can't do it, then no one in the world can."

As for that imposter...

Zhao Yu didn't ask his name.

He was shirtless, holding aloft the broken wooden cauldron that Zhao Yu had pierced through with a chopstick.

He also had a sign hanging around his neck with a line of large characters that read:

I'm a fake, I have no shame.

Whenever people passed by,

They would all spit on him hard, and of course, they really would.

While you're at it, throw in some rotten vegetable leaves.

If we consider these past few days,

The vegetable leaves hanging all over Li Daniu looked like enough to stir-fry two dishes.

……

On the third day, at the hour of Yin (4 a.m.).

It's a pity I booked a room for seven days.

never mind,

Consider it a gift for the waiter.

Zhao Yu appeared silently in the stable in the backyard of the county government office.

The people knew he was leaving today, and he didn't want to face their gratitude.

What he hates most is being sentimental and getting into trouble.

"Let's go, Little Horse."

Zhao Yu patted the horse's neck.

I also stuffed a handful of the best black beans into his hand.

Zhao Yu led the horse,

Like a thief,

He tiptoed and pushed open the back door of the county government office.

"Squeak—"

The door hinge groaned.

Zhao Yu was startled.

I quickly glanced around.

Thankfully, no one was there.

If you don't go now, when will you wait?

Zhao Yu mounted his horse without alerting anyone.

A person walks across the long street.

comfortable.

This is what freedom tastes like.

that's it,

They came quietly, and they left quietly.

With a wave of his sleeve, he divided up the corrupt official's silver without taking a single cloud with him.

quickly,

The city gate was right in front of us.

The city gates were not yet open.

The soldiers guarding the city were dozing off against the wall.

He dismounted.

Walk up to the winch.

He turned the winch with one hand.

The suspension bridge was lowered.

then,

He pushed open a crack in the door, just big enough for one person and one horse to fit through.

"Who?"

One of the soldiers was a heavy sleeper.

"Shh!"

Zhao Yu gestured.

The soldier understood and nodded.

"Perfect."
