Wang Li stared at Li Shui and said nothing for a long time.
He was thinking, but he couldn't understand even if he thought about it.
"Why is Huaiguzi the winner? Doesn't this person know how to count? Otherwise, why can he swear and say that he won? I have 1,700 shi, and he only has 1,500 shi. It's clear who loses and who wins. , How can he stand up? Why should he stand up?"
The more Wang Li thought about it, the more he felt that Li Shui was playing tricks on him, so he winked at the dead soldiers and said, "Kill him."
Li Xin drew his sword, stood in front of Li Shui, and shouted coldly: "Wang Li, you lost the bet, are you going to cheat?"
Wang Li was so angry: "Who is cheating?"
He looked at Wang Wan and Li Si: "Two adults, you bear witness for me, who is the loser and who is the winner?"
Wang Wan said: "Of course General Wang Li won. The corn in Master Huai's field is of good quality, and the harvest is not small. But after all, it is two hundred stones less than General Wang Li's corn."
Li Shui said calmly: "That's not necessarily the case. I still have three hundred stones that I haven't taken out yet."
Wang Li was startled and couldn't help but look at the emperor's soldiers.
The soldiers shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Li Shui walked slowly to a room and opened the door. The corn inside is piled up like a mountain.
Wang Li's eyes widened, and Li Si and Wang Wan were also a little confused.
They thought that Li Shui might cheat, but they didn't expect that Li Shui cheated so blatantly. Open the door directly and tell you that there are still three hundred stones of corn.
Wang Li jumped angrily, pointed at Li Shui and said, "Where did these corns come from? Why didn't you take them out before? You are obviously cheating."
Li Shui said slowly: "I don't know if you still remember, but there was a strong wind and rain dozens of days ago. A lot of the corn in the fields fell down. General Wang ordered people to build awnings everywhere, but still lost 30 to 40%. "
Li Si and Wang Wan both nodded.
Li Shui continued: "In my field, some seedlings also fell down. However, thanks to my field method, the seedlings took root very deeply. Later, I found that these seedlings did not die, but fell to the ground and continued to grow."
"One part is stronger and gradually straightens up. The other part is weaker and lies there, sticking to the soil, sprouting ears and forming seeds."
"These seedlings that fell on the ground were inherently deficient, so the corn they produced was not very full. Also because they fell on the ground, they were steamed by the earth's air, and their stems and leaves showed signs of rot. Therefore, a few days ago, I ordered The farmers harvested the fallen corn first."
"Thousands of acres of fertile land, with the fallen corn added together, I have accumulated more than three hundred stones. Although the quality is not good, it is still food. I believe that it should be counted as what I harvested in the field."
Wang Wan and Li Si grabbed a handful and looked at them, and found that the quality was indeed not good, a little shriveled, and the particles were very small. But as Li Shui said, this is also food and can indeed be eaten.
Wang Wan said hesitantly: "However, who can prove that this was not shipped from elsewhere?"
Li Shui pointed to the Qin soldiers standing guard around him and said: "These soldiers have been patrolling the Shangjun Courtyard day and night for more than a month. How can I transport three hundred stones of corn quietly? What was the scene like during the harvest that day? , they all see it in their eyes, and they will know the truth and falsehood as soon as they ask."
"What's more, you can tell at a glance whether these corns are new. And all the corns in Guanzhong have not been harvested yet. Where did I transport them from?"
Wang Wan was silent.
And Li Si's eyes lit up, and he saw an opportunity. So a decisive decision was made.
Li Si nodded and said, "Huai Guzi is really a banished immortal. Li Si bows down to you."
Li Shui asked with a smile: "So, I won this bet?"
Li Si nodded.
Li Shui looked at Wang Wan again, and Wang Wan remained silent, acquiescing.
At this time, Wu Jiao stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order. Once the winner is determined, the bet can be fulfilled on the spot."
Wang Wan hesitated and said: "Master Huai, I think it is better to discuss this matter in the long run. We are officials in the same dynasty, why do we have to fight to the death?"
Li Shui glared: "What? Prime Minister Wang, do you want to disobey the decree? You don't have to obey His Majesty's orders, so in the future, can you..."
Wang Wan had a severe headache and said, "That's it, that's all. I have no intention of treason. Master Huai, please do what you want. I will never stop you."
In fact, there is no need to block it. This incident caused quite a stir in the city. Your Majesty is paying attention, all the officials are paying attention, the people of Xianyang, and even the people of Guanzhong are all looking for news.
If Wang Li does not die, the whole world will be in an uproar. Today I offended Huaiguzi and stopped him. Wang Li will still die tomorrow. Since you are a dead man, why bother to make enemies with people like Huai Guzi?
It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Especially the shameless villain.
Wang Li looked pale and his lips were trembling. He kept shaking his head: "Impossible, it's fake, it's all fake. How can it be possible to harvest so much when only half of the field is planted? The seedlings have fallen, how can it be possible to sprout ears and produce seeds? This is not magic, this is witchcraft. Yes, this is witchcraft, the witchcraft of the Chu people, and you have all been bewitched."
Li Xin took a step forward with his sword in hand, intending to cut off Wang Li's arms.
Li Shui quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, no need. With the look like this, he probably won't resist."
Li Xin rolled his eyes helplessly and gave Li Shui the chance to be a hero.
Li Shui held the butcher's knife and walked towards Wang Li step by step, muttering: "For Cang Fu, for Wang Laoshi, for the innocent people who were harmed by you. And for... the hundreds of thousands who were tricked and killed by Xiang Yu. Great Qin soldiers. Today, I will do justice for Heaven."
Zhou Qingchen praised: "Master Huai is really a noble man. He killed Wang Li for the sake of thousands of people, but not for himself. He is selfless and puts others before himself. Such a character is admirable."
Li Xin, Wang Wan, and Li Si all looked at Zhou Qingchen, thinking: "Flattery."
The dead soldiers Wang Li brought saw that Li Shui was about to kill Wang Li, and they all rushed towards Li Shui.
They knew that killing Li Shui would be useless, but they still rushed towards him like moths to the flame.
Unfortunately, Li Xin swung his sword and killed all these people in a matter of seconds.
At the same time, Li Shui had also walked up to Wang Li. He raised his butcher knife and slashed at Wang Li's neck.
It's a pity that if you haven't killed anyone, you haven't killed anyone. Li Shui's hand was shaking a little, and the knife missed the mark and hit Wang Li's shoulder.
Wang Li screamed, turned around and ran away.
Li Shui was a little embarrassed, coughed, and said bitterly: "Killing you like this is too easy for you. I will torture you, make you suffer unbearable pain, make you bleed like a river, and then take your life .”
Wang Wan believed it to be true and couldn't help but shrink his neck: "This Huaiguzi is too cruel."
Li Xin patted Li Shui on the shoulder: "Brother Huai, if you don't chase me, he will run away."
Li Shui rode on a horse, casually asked the Qin soldiers for a long sword, and then rode towards Wang Li.
Just now Wang Li suffered a huge blow and was in a daze, and then he was stabbed by Li Shui. And this knife also completely woke him up.
He grabbed a horse, rode on it, and galloped towards Xianyang City. As he ran, he shouted loudly: "Report the news to my mansion quickly. Report the message to my mansion quickly."
In fact, he didn't need to yell. The two slaves he brought over had already bolted towards Xianyang City.
While Wang Li was running for his life, he was thinking that as long as he could return to Xianyang, as long as he could return to his mansion, he would have a chance of survival today.
Relying on Wang's meritorious service and relying on the courtiers who were good friends with Wang. As long as you sincerely beg the emperor, you can definitely save your life.
As long as life is still there, there is hope for everything.
Admit your mistake? fine? Even if he kneels three times and kowtows nine times to Huaiguzi, I, Wang Li, will recognize him.
Wang Li spanked the horse's butt hard several times, and the horse ran faster. However, Li Shui was not good at riding and was soon left behind.
Wang Li just felt happy, Li Xin bent his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow on his shoulder.
Wang Li screamed, his right arm was bleeding profusely and he couldn't move.
He endured the pain and shouted back: "You two, why bother killing them all?"
Li Shui sneered and said, "When you harmed me and Li Xin that day, did you ever think about not killing them all?"
Li Xin did not say harsh words, but shot another arrow, this time destroying Wang Li's left arm.
Fortunately, Wang Li has excellent riding skills, otherwise, he would have fallen off his horse long ago.
He gritted his teeth and clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly.
I saw it, I saw Xianyang City. As soon as you enter the city, you will see a lot of people and houses. Li Xin's cold arrow could not be used, and Wang Li could escape.
But at this moment, Li Xin's third arrow arrived.
…………
Wang Ben was serving his father for dinner at home. It was already noon, so the bet should have come to fruition.
Sure enough, the two slaves following Wang Li ran in quickly.
Wang Ben thought they were here to announce the good news, but he didn't know that the slave's face was full of panic, and he shouted from afar: "General, it's not good. I lost, the little general lost. I am being chased by Huaiguzi and Li Xin, I am going to die." On the day and night."
When Wang Jian heard this, he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Wang Ben panicked, walked over quickly and helped Wang Jian.
However, Wang Jian tried his best to push him away and shouted at the top of his lungs: "What are you doing to help me? Quickly save people."
Wang Ben agreed, picked up his sword, mounted his horse, took more than a hundred servants with him, and rode a fast horse, like a gust of wind, towards the outside of Xianyang City.
From a distance, Wang Ben could already see the city gate, and even saw Wang Li outside the city gate.
Wang Ben suddenly felt happy and shouted loudly: "Li'er."
Wang Li looked up and saw Wang Ben. Tears filled his eyes and he shouted: "Father, save me."
At this time, Wang Ben clearly saw Li Xin bending his bow and shooting an arrow at Wang Li.
Wang Ben was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Cold arrow, cold arrow."
Wang Li was shocked and quickly lowered his body and lay on the horse.
Li Xin's first two arrows destroyed both of his arms. Isn't this third arrow going to penetrate his head?
However, the third arrow hit the horse.
The horse was in pain and roared loudly. The man stood up and knocked Wang Li down.
Then, Li Shui rushed up with Changge in hand. Ge Ren used the impact of the galloping horse to gently tap Wang Li's neck, and Wang Li's head was cut off.
The arrogant Wang Li, with his body and head in a different place, was lying on the ground, too dead to die.
Li Shui reined in his horse, thinking a little excitedly and nervously: "I killed someone, I eliminated harm for the people..."
Before his excitement had passed, he heard Wang Ben's roar as loud as the earth was shattering: "Huai Guzi, if you dare to kill my son, you and I will never live together."
Then, Wang Ben led more than a hundred generals and rushed toward Li Shui with a rumble. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
