Xu Village, outside a remote, old house.
Qin Yi, Cao Cao, and Dian Wei stood outside the broken house.
"This place is the home of the old lady of the Xu family.”
"Ever since Xu Shu left his hometown, the old lady of the Xu family lived alone. Although she had the help of the elders, her days were also poor.”
Qin Yi looked at Old Lady Xu's house and told her the information that the palace guards had found.
"Er 'Lai, how much silver did you bring?”
Cao Cao immediately looked at Dian Wei.
"My lord, I only have money with me.”
Dian Wei touched his waist pouch and said to Cao Cao.
[PS: In ancient times, a string of coins was 1000 copper coins, which was equivalent to 1 tael of silver.]
"Brother Meng De, you aren't going to pay me directly, are you?”
When Qin Yi saw this, he could not help but laugh.
He was very clear about Xu Shu's mother's character. She was definitely not someone who was greedy for money.
In history, after Cao Cao kidnapped his mother to Cao Cao's camp, his mother threatened Xu Shu with her own life to prevent him from coming to Cao Cao's camp. From this, it could be seen that Xu Shu's achievements had a lot to do with his mother.
"Ah, what else?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"Forget it, you'll understand later.”
Qin Yi didn't explain. Cao Cao would understand soon anyway.
"Junior Qin Yi is here to pay a visit to Old Madam Xu.”
Qin Yi did not pay attention to the two of them. He got off his horse and went to Xu Shu's house. He knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Soon, an old lady with white hair walked out of the dilapidated courtyard. After sizing up Qin Yi and the others, she asked in confusion.
"Generals, may I know why you are looking for me?”
"I'm Qin Yi, a friend of Brother Yuanzhi. I passed by this place today and came to pay a visit to Old Madam Xu.”
When Qin Yi saw this, he came in front of the old lady and said with a smile.
"Yuanzhi's friend?"
Hearing Qin Yi's words, Old Lady Xu was stunned. Then, she looked at Qin Yi and the others warily.
Especially Dian Wei, who was wearing armor and holding a halberd, was the focus of his attention.
When Qin Yi saw this, how could he not understand what Old Lady Xu meant? She clearly treated them as people who had come to arrest Xu Shu.
"Old Madam Xu, we are here on the orders of the Emperor to pacify the Yellow Turban army. We passed by this place today and came to visit Old Madam Xu. We are not here to capture Brother Yuanzhi.”
"This is Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao, this is my guard Dian Wei, and I am the military advisor of the palace guards, Chancellor.”
Qin Yi explained to Old Lady Xu with a smile.
Perhaps influenced by Qin Yi's gentle and refined attitude, Old Lady Xu quickly let down her guard.
Although she was very confident in her son, she didn't think Xu Shu was worth alerting Commandant Qi to personally come and arrest him.
Speaking of Xu Shu, she couldn't help but miss him.
A benevolent look flashed across his turbid eyes.
"Old Madam Xu, we came here to pay a visit to you and to clear Brother Yuanzhi's name.”
"This way, Brother Yuanzhi won't have to hide his identity and go far away in the future.”
Qin Yi saw the kindness in Old Lady Xu's eyes and could not help but think of his mother in his previous life, so he said gently.
"Really?"
Hearing Qin Yi's words, Old Lady Xu was surprised and happy.
"Really?"
Qin Yi smiled.
Then, under Old Lady Xu's expectant gaze, Qin Yi instructed Dian Wei.
"Er 'Lai, get the palace guards to summon the pavilion chief here.”
"Yes!"
Dian Wei says respectfully.
Soon, Dian Wei left. Qin Yi and Cao Cao were invited into the house by Old Lady Xu.
"My house is simple and crude. Please forgive me."
After Old Lady Xu learned that Xu Shu was about to be vindicated, she became much more energetic.
"Although a sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs."
"Although Old Madam Xu's house is simple and crude, it has everything you need.”
Qin Yi looked at the Xu family's old courtyard and smiled at Old Lady Xu.
At the same time, Cao Cao couldn't help but take out a five-baht coin from his pocket and pass it to Old Lady Xu.
"Old Madam, I am Cao Cao, also known as Meng De. I am also a good friend of Yuanzhi. Today, I saw that Old Madam's house is simple and crude. Although this money is not much, it can be used to supplement Old Madam's house.”
"No, no, I can't take it.”
Unexpectedly, before Cao Cao could hand it over to Old Lady Xu, Old Lady Xu shook her head vigorously.
Seeing this, Cao Cao wanted to force himself into Old Lady Xu's arms but was stopped by Qin Yi.
"Brother Meng De, since Old Furen doesn't want it, then don't force it.”
As Qin Yi spoke, he gave Cao Cao a look. Seeing this, Cao Cao understood and stopped persuading him.
Not long after, Dian Wei led a trembling middle-aged man to the Xu family's old courtyard.
"Advisor Jun, I've brought the chief of the pavilion here.”
"General, don't be anxious, don't be anxious.”
At the same time, the middle-aged pavilion leader said while panting.
"This commoner Xu-er greets the two sirs.”
The middle-aged pavilion chief, Xu-er, quickly saw Qin Yi and Cao Cao and immediately bowed respectfully.
At the same time, he also noticed Old Madam Xu.
"Lord Constable."
Old Lady Xu naturally recognized the pavilion chief, Xu Er, and immediately no longer doubted the identities of Qin Yi and Cao Cao.
"Son, bless you. Your injustice is finally going to be washed away.”
"I am the commander of the palace guards, Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao. Today, I learned that Xu Shu of the Xu Family Village was wronged. As the chief of the Xu Family Village, do you know about this?”
Seeing Xu-er arrive, Cao Cao took out the Commander's Arrow and shouted at him.
"This, this commoner doesn't know."
When Xu-er saw this, how could he not know that the old lady of the Xu family had a backer? He hurriedly kowtowed.
"Get someone to clear all of Xu Shu's arrest warrant. At the same time, arrest all the people who framed Xu Shu.”
"Also, repair the house for Old Lady Xu.”
Cao Cao naturally knew that this was dirty, but he didn't care about it. One order was enough to scare the Tingzhang Xu-er, but he didn't dare to disobey.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Soon, the pavilion chief, Xu Er, left. The old lady of the Xu family was extremely grateful to Qin Yi and Cao Cao.
Not long after, Qin Yi and Cao Cao left. Before they left, Cao Cao hid the five baht coins on Old Lady Xu's bed under Qin Yi's instruction.
Later on, Old Lady Xu discovered that her impression of Qin Yi and Cao Cao had increased.
"Son, you really made two good friends.”
At the same time, because of Qin Yi and Cao Cao's arrival, Old Lady Xu became famous in the Xu Family Village and even in the vicinity.
Although Old Madam Xu did not like fame and fortune, she was quite happy about it.
Of course, the most important thing was naturally her son, Xu Shu, who had finally been vindicated.
