Li Shui's words made the courtiers look sideways. When they looked at Chun Yuyue, their eyes changed.
It's right when you think about it. Why did Chunyu Yue suddenly know the origin of alcohol? How do you know how to make steamed buns? This was clearly what Huaiguzi told him. I want to take this opportunity to join forces to deceive everyone into expressing their stance.
Chunyu Yue was about to cry but had no tears, and said loudly: "I have been upright all my life, how could I get together with a shameless villain like Huai Guzi? Do you believe what he says?"
Li Shui quickly showed a look of realization and said to the courtiers: "Yes, yes, yes, I have nothing to do with Chunyu Yue, so don't think too much about it."
When the courtiers saw this posture, they couldn't help but think more.
Suddenly, Li Shui pointed at Li Xin and whispered: "Why don't you leave quickly? You stand here, arousing suspicion out of thin air, and tarnishing Dr. Chunyu's and my innocence."
The courtiers suddenly realized: "That's right. Li Xin and Huai Guzi are close friends of life and death. And Chun Yuyue is Li Xin's sister-in-law. These three people are obviously a family."
Chunyu Yue saw that all the courtiers were suspicious, and it was difficult to explain.
He grabbed a doctor and said, "Brother Zhou, do you believe me?"
This man's name was Zhou Qingchen. After being pulled over by Chunyu Yue, he laughed dryly and said, "Brother Chunyu, in fact, I have wanted to be friends with Mr. Huai for a long time. Mr. Huai is knowledgeable and talented and is the pillar of the country. It's just because of your face. , I dare not interact with him. After all, you are the head of the doctors. Now, since you and Brother Huai are brothers, I don’t have to hide this feeling. "
After finishing speaking, Zhou Qingchen saluted Li Shui.
Chun Yuyue almost fainted from anger: "I didn't expect that among the doctors, there are such shameless villains who actually want to make friends with Huai Guzi. Okay, okay, I have some unexpected gains today."
Li Shui didn't have much favorable impression of Zhou Qingchen. This guy has a slight reputation in history, but he also has a bad reputation as a sycophant.
In the past, Li Shui thought that Zhou Qingchen was not of good character and did not think highly of him. But things have changed a lot today. For no other reason, this guy has really good eyesight, and he can actually tell that he is a pillar of talent...
With Zhou Qingchen's evidence, the courtiers were even more convinced that Chunyu Yue had fallen, joined Huaiguzi's group, shook their heads and left with sighs.
Chunyu Yue pointed at Li Shui, gritted his teeth, and finally stamped his feet and turned away.
Chunyu Yue was a gentle man, and gentle men could not curse. Since he could not curse, he had nothing to say to Li Shui.
Li Xin looked at Chun Yuyue's leaving figure and asked in confusion: "What are you doing? Playing with him?"
Li Shui crossed his arms and said, "No. I just want to make up for the relationship between you."
Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion, unable to figure out what the relationship between the two things was.
Li Shui said to Li Xin: "Let's go to your house, ask for leave from your sister-in-law, and then go visit Dr. Chunyu. Invite him to eat dumplings and drink fairy wine. As the saying goes, dumplings are like wine, and the more you drink, the better. .”
Li Shui was walking and talking, and suddenly realized that Li Xin didn't follow him.
When he turned around, he saw Li Xin standing there with a dull look on his face, almost drooling, muttering to himself: "Fairy wine? Dumplings? Fairy wine? Dumplings?"
Li Shui was a little speechless: "It's just dumplings, what about that?"

Yingzheng study room.
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and said calmly: "Today's court meeting, are you here specifically to report on Huaiguzi?"
Fusu whispered: "Yes."
Ying Zheng added: "At that time, you were speechless when I asked you. Then Chunyu Yue stood up and cited various evidences. Moreover, those evidences were actually kept at home and were not brought to the palace. It can be seen that Chunyu Yue Yue didn’t know anything beforehand.”
Fusu replied: "Yes."
Ying Zheng muttered: "You must have heard the news in advance that I was going to enshrine Huaiguzi, so you came here to dissuade me impatiently. You were worried that Chunyu Yue would stop me, so you didn't tell anyone."
Fusu lowered his head and said nothing.
Ying Zheng closed his eyes and said quietly: "Yesterday, I had the intention of canonizing Huaiguzi. There were not many people present at the time, and there were even fewer people who knew about my plan. There was no uproar in the city afterward. It can be seen that the insiders Very measured, no nonsense. But you... why did you know about it? Who tipped you off? "
Fusu didn't answer.
Ying Zheng suddenly shouted sharply: "Who is that person?"
Fusu was startled and trembled involuntarily.
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Huai Guzi and Li Xin will not ask for trouble. Everyone else is suspected."
Ying Zheng said loudly: "Come here, trap and kill everyone present that day."
Fusu was startled and said hurriedly: "There were many important ministers present that day. Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Wang Li, three generations of ancestors. If they are killed, I am afraid it will cause shock to the court."
Ying Zheng asked Fusu: "Did they tell you?"
Fusu shook his head.
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Apart from them, there are the eunuchs and guards."
Ji Ming, who was serving Ying Zheng, was already soaked with sweat: "What if Mr. Fusu recruits me? According to the emperor's temper, the death penalty is a minor one. Maybe he will be quartered?"
However, Fusu was very generous and did not recruit him. Instead, he made up a lie and said: "Huai Guzi is extremely arrogant and likes to show off. He knew that his father intended to confer a title and had long publicized it, lest everyone would not know about it. .”
Fusu rarely lies, so when he lies to others, he looks a little unnatural. Ying Zheng could tell at a glance.
However, Ying Zheng's first reaction was not anger, but some relief: "Has this son finally gained some scheming? Has he learned to lie?"
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Fusu, Huaiguzi has no enmity with you, why do you want to kill him so many times?"
Fusu said: "This man is misleading the public with his monster words and deceiving my father. How can we not kill him?"
Ying Zheng said: "Evidence. Only when there are witnesses and physical evidence can you report, otherwise it will be a false accusation. Don't you even understand this? You talk about ruling the country with benevolence and ruling the world with justice all day long, but you only rely on your own likes and dislikes , then you have to decide the life and death of Huai Guzi. Is this your benevolence and righteousness?"
Fusu was silent for a long time, then bowed and said, "I know I was wrong."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Go."
After Fusu left, Ying Zheng's expression changed. He ignored Ji Ming and instead found an eunuch with an angry face.
This eunuch rarely served Ying Zheng, but he was deeply trusted.
Ying Zheng ordered: "Bring a team of innocent people to check. Check who was present that day to see who had contact with Fusu yesterday."
The eunuch responded and hurried away.

The red sun is leaning to the west, Chunyu is outside the Yue Mansion.
Li Shui and Li Xin had already handed in the name cards for half an hour, but there was no movement inside.
Li Shui said: "Brother Li, did your sister-in-law not want to see us, so she deliberately didn't open the door and pretended to be dead inside?"
Li Xin said helplessly: "Isn't this obvious? Brother Huai really gave him a hard time in the palace. Of course he won't open the door."
Li Shui said with a smile: "I have a plan that can make him open the door in a moment."
Li Xin made a gesture of invitation.
Li Shui took a step forward, grabbed the copper ring on the door, and slapped the door loudly. As he slapped it, he shouted loudly: "Dr. Chunyu, I am Huaiguzi. Aren't we going to discuss something important? Please open the door quickly. .”
"Brother Chunyu, Li Xin and I are here. Let's talk about relatives' invitations first, and then talk about family and country affairs."
"Brother Chunyu, my wine is like the heavenly wine, my dumplings are like the delicacies of the fairy world, my..."
The door is open. A servant said anxiously: "My master has invited me, please come in quickly."
But Li Shui didn't go in, and kept shouting: "Oh, brother Chunyu, why do you have to come out in person? We are as close as brothers, so we can skip these false courtesy..."
His voice spread far away, and many people on the street heard it. It is estimated that the news will soon reach the ears of the courtiers. For those who don’t know, they really think that Chunyu Yue and Huai Guzi are planning something big.
Chunyu Yue, who was sitting in the mansion, stamped his feet angrily and had to walk out quickly and shouted: "Shut up."
Li Shui said with a smile: "Greetings to Brother Chunyu, can Li Xin and I enter the house?"
Chunyu Yue said coldly: "Do I dare not to let you in?"
Chunyu Yue was afraid that Li Shui would yell again and asked him to come in quickly.
Who knew that Li Shui suddenly shouted: "Dr. Chunyu invited me into the house."
Chunyu Yue stumbled and almost fainted to the ground.
