Although Wang Jian is getting stronger with age, he is still old after all. Within a day, he was hit one after another and was angered by Li Shui, who immediately vomited blood.
Wang Ben was shocked and quickly supported Wang Jian.
Wang Jian waved his hand and said weakly to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I am... I am exhausted, please allow me to retire."
Ying Zheng nodded.
Wang Jian looked at Wang Li who was lying on the ground and was still being whipped. He sighed and walked tremblingly out of the palace.
Ying Zheng said to Li Xin: "You will handle the remaining trivial matters. You must enforce the law impartially and not be partial."
Li Xin agreed, and Ying Zheng left slowly and walked towards the study.
As soon as Ying Zheng left, Fu Yao ran over happily. Following closely behind Fu Yao was Wei Young.
She stared at Li Shui's hand nervously and asked, "Your hand..."
Li Shui was grimacing in pain, but now he acted nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, the pain on the flesh is nothing."
Fu Yao said with envy: "The banished immortal is really extraordinary. He is also injured, but my master is still a handsome gentleman, and General Wang is a little embarrassed."
Wang Li was lying on the ground, with disheveled hair and a ferocious look on his face. He cursed in his heart: "Shameless man, can our injuries be the same? Fu Yao was really taught bad things by Huai Guzi."
Ji Ming didn't know how long he had been beating, and his arms were a little sore.
He asked Li Xin cautiously: "General Li, are you okay with this?"
Li Xin said calmly: "Your Majesty has an order to enforce the law impartially and without partiality."
Ji Ming had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue fighting.
It wasn't until Wang Li was beaten to death that Li Xin called out to stop.
As for Li Shui, he had already followed Wei Young to the alchemy room to bandage his right hand.
While bandaging, Weiyang asked insinuatingly: "Sir, it seems you know many languages?"
Li Shui said proudly: "That's natural. I not only know many words, but also many languages. In addition, there are arithmetic and geography..."
Later, Li Shui briefly demonstrated the results of nine years of compulsory education.
Weiyang was fascinated by what she saw, her heart pounding: "How could there be such a knowledgeable person in the world?"
…………
The atmosphere in the alchemy room was relaxed. As for Ying Zheng's study, it was a bit depressing.
In the study room, there are countless classics and history collections, but Ying Zheng has no intention of reading.
His mind was very confused. One moment he thought of banishing the immortals, the next moment he thought of immortality, and the next moment he thought of Hu Ye, the man who destroyed Qin.
Ying Zheng shook his head and casually pulled out a bundle of bamboo slips. When I opened it, I found that it was about old events from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
In the past, King You of Zhou had two sons. One is called Yijiu and the other is called Bofu.
King You of Zhou wanted to make Bo Fu the crown prince, so Yi Jiu fled to his grandfather, Marquis Shen. Marquis Shen united with Quan Rong to attack Haojing and killed King Zhou You in Xicheng.
Later, he established Yijiu as emperor and moved the capital to Luoyi. It is for the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. From then on, the world was in chaos.
Ying Zheng threw the bamboo slips on several cases and thought: "Will Hu Hai become Yijiu? Will the Wang family become Shenhou? Most of the generals in the army were promoted by Wang Jian. And Wang Ben Marrying a Hu girl is closely related to the Hu people. If there are changes in Xianyang...could it be said that Hu Ye, the man who destroyed Qin, should be here?"
Ying Zheng's expression became more and more grim: "If the minister is strong, the master will be weak. We can no longer let the Wang family go. I can still subdue them when I am in power. If I pass it on to my descendants, the Wang family will probably control the government."
…………
At the same time, Wang Li finally got enough whippings and was put into a car and sent back to the mansion.
As soon as Wang Li returned, he was carried to Wang Jian's room by his family.
The grandfather and grandson, one lying on his stomach and the other lying down, were speechless, and could only smile bitterly.
Wang Ben knelt down not far away and said angrily: "This Huaiguzi is really abominable."
Wang Jian sighed and said to Wang Li: "Good man, why did you provoke Huaiguzi? This person is a lunatic."
Wang Li was a little hopeless: "When Huaiguzi failed to make alchemy and his life was at stake, I didn't take him seriously at all. I just wanted to use him to attack Li Xin, but who knew that Huaiguzi actually turned over and ended up getting married because of it? Take revenge."
Wang Ben suddenly asked Wang Li: "What's going on with your mushroom? Is Huaiguzi really a banished immortal from heaven?"
Before Wang Li could speak, Wang Jian sneered: "Immortal? Is there such a shameless immortal in the world?"
Wang Li and Wang Ben both nodded in agreement.
Immortal, who is not aloof, otherworldly, pure and innocent? How could he be so philistine and shameless? Huaiguzi not only does not look like an immortal, he is not even a gentleman.
Wang Jian said: "In my opinion, this person has some skills. Maybe he didn't swallow the mushroom at all, or maybe the mushroom was not medicinal enough. In short, he must have been awake at the time. Hum, this person can tolerate it, you use stones I hit his palm, but he didn't show any pain at all."
Wang Ben said worriedly: "Your Majesty may have heard what he said. In the future, I, the Wang family, and Mr. Hu Hai may be in some trouble."
Wang Jian hummed lightly.
Wang Li said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty is usually wise and powerful, why was he deceived by this Huaiguzi?"
Wang Jian said: "You don't understand. Regardless of whether what Huaiguzi said is true or not, Your Majesty would rather believe it. After all, I, the Wang family, really need to restrain myself. You two, resign from the military and only have the false name of a general. That's it. If we lose military power, there will be no threat, and your Majesty will feel relieved."
Wang Ben and Wang Li nodded dejectedly.
Wang Jian said: "Don't be unwilling. This is retreat in order to advance. As long as Hu Hai becomes emperor, what I, the Wang family, have lost, will one day get back."
At this time, a servant ran in in panic and said, "General, it's not good. A eunuch has broken in with his soldiers."
Wang Jian was shocked: "Why?"
The servant said: "I don't know."
While he was talking, the eunuch had already entered. It's not Ji Ming, it's a stranger.
The eunuch bowed, smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty feels that the mushroom can be used to gauge people's hearts. It seems inappropriate to keep it under the care of General Wang Li. I have specially ordered my slave to take it away and keep it sealed in the palace."
Wang Li quickly took out all the mushrooms. In fact, it’s only three or five pieces.
Unexpectedly, the eunuch refused to leave and said calmly: "It's not that I can't trust the general. It's just that the matter is very important. It would be bad if the general misses one or two pieces."
Then, the eunuch waved his hand and said calmly: "Search."
Those Qin soldiers began to search the mansion vigorously.
Wang Jian's hair and beard were all spread out, and he vomited another mouthful of blood.
After half an hour, the eunuch found nothing, apologized, and left with the people.
Wang Jian's eyes widened and he said to Wang Ben and Wang Li in a deep voice: "It's a lie that your Majesty is searching for mushrooms, but it's true that you are searching for the Wang family to see if there are any ulterior motives. My Wang family has prestige in the army, and you once took a Hu girl as your concubine." , His Majesty may have been a little dissatisfied before. Coupled with what Huai Guzi said today..."
"Hu Ye is the one who destroyed the Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty has decided to take action. Hu Hai is your Majesty's bloodline, so his life should be safe. And I, the Wang family, may have to be eliminated in order to maintain peace in the Qin Dynasty."
Wang Ben stood up and said, "I will kill that Hu girl right now."
Wang Jian shook his head: "No. Kill Hu Nu. Hu Hai's mother and son will definitely be heartbroken. The connection between my Wang family and the palace will be severed. Even if I survive, there will be no chance of recovery."
Wang Ben said anxiously: "Your Majesty has a stubborn character. Since he has become suspicious, the Wang family is in danger. If you can't turn around, just become a rich man."
Wang Jian said: "You also know that His Majesty has a tough character. If he wants to destroy the Wang family, it will be useless even if you kill Hu Nu."
Wang Ben asked: "What should we do?"
Wang Jian lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and after a long time he said: "Go and ask Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC."
