Under the emperor's feet, people are killed in the street. The people around him suddenly became confused. Wang Laoshi was so frightened that he took two craftsmen out of Xianyang City and fled to Shangjun Courtyard without stopping.
Li Shui stood at the door with a smile as if he knew he would come back.
Wang Laoshi said breathlessly: "My lord, my lord, it's really terrible. He was killed. Ma Lingshu was killed."
Li Shui snorted and asked, "Who killed him? Do you know?"
Wang Laoshi shook his head: "I don't recognize this guest who came out of the daughter's house. He has a strange face."
Li Shui hummed.
Wang Laoshi asked worriedly: "Ma Lingshu was suddenly killed. Did the other party come for you? Should Shangjun Courtyard strengthen its precautions?"
Li Shui laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, I have expected this kind of thing."
Seeing Li Shui's confident look, Wang Laoshi gradually felt relieved, then said goodbye and left.
The wine shop will expand recently, and the immortal wine will go out from Xianyang City, to Guanzhong, and to the whole world. According to Li Shui's words, everyone should have a taste of the fairy wine.
Although Chun Yuyue told the court how to make fairy wine, some of the courtiers didn't understand, some didn't bother to do it, and some had poor skills, and the fairy wine they made was completely incomparable to Li Shui's.
Therefore, the sale of fairy wine is still monopolized by Li Shuihui.
Therefore, Wang Laoshi has been very busy recently.
After Wang Laoshi left. Li Xin said quietly: "So, it was a lie that you asked Ma Lingshua to go to the nursery. It was true that Zhao Gao killed him with a fake hand."
Li Shui nodded: "Now Zhao Gao thinks that Ma Lingshu was killed before he could reveal his secret. In this way, I can pretend not to know that he wants to deal with me. I can hide in secret and calmly lay out the plan. .”
Li Xin asked: "Then how do you plan to deal with Zhao Gao?"
Li Shui thought for a while and said, "Let's give him some appetizers first."
Lishui sent a craftsman to invite Wu Yue.
Wu Yue was also a little helpless. He boarded Li Shui's pirate ship and had no choice but to accept his fate.
Li Shui brought out fairy wine and steamed buns to entertain Wu Yue, and then said with a smile: "Master Wu, I have an unkind invitation. I hope you won't refuse."
Wu Yue frowned and thought to himself: "You know it's an unkind invitation, but you still ask me not to refuse? What sense does this make?"
Li Shui ignored Wu Yue's expression and said quietly: "Master Ma Lingshu is loyal and patriotic for all to see. Although he has harmed me many times, deep down in my heart, I admire him so much. I didn't expect that he would show up today." Died tragically at the door of the female village."
"An important official in the court was actually beheaded in the street. It is outrageous that such a thing happened at the feet of the emperor."
Wu Yue was a little speechless: "Didn't you always want Ma Lingshu's life? If he is dead, wouldn't it save you from having to go under the knife? Why do you look so sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and started to get to the point: "What do the people want? To have enough food and clothing, to live and work in peace and contentment. Especially the people in Xianyang City, they need safety even more. The people are uneasy, how can your majesty and your lords feel at ease?"
"Can such a city tolerate killings in the streets? If an important official in the court can be killed at will. What about ordinary people? Don't everyone have to be trembling and walking on thin ice?"
Wu Yue asked hesitantly: "So..."
Li Shui said: "Therefore, I ask Mr. Wu Yue to impeach the emissary Zhao Teng. This man's body is left undisturbed, and the governance of Xianyang City is in chaos."
"The assassin brought a knife to the street, but he didn't notice it. Mr. Ma was killed, and he has not caught the murderer until now. This is dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty. It is laziness and deliberate neglect of government. I ask Mr. Wu to make suggestions immediately. The emperor ordered Zhao Teng to arrest the murderer within three days. When the time comes and he cannot be caught, Zhao Teng will be punished."
Li Shui spoke so impassionedly that Wu Yue was confused after listening to it. It took him a while to realize: "So, Master Huai wants to plead for the people and urge Master Zhao to rectify Xianyang City? Give the people a peaceful world?"
Li Shui nodded solemnly and said, "Exactly."
Wu Yue took a bite of the steamed bun and said quietly: "However, there is something unclear about the official. Why doesn't Mr. Huai write the letter himself? But he has to go through Wu?"
Li Shui grinned and thought to himself: "What do you mean? How can the boss do this kind of dirty work himself?"
However, he did not say it directly. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "I have a personal grudge against Ma Lingshua. If I write a letter, Your Majesty will be confused and think that I have any intentions."
Wu Yue exclaimed: "That's it."
He pondered for a while and then said: "Mr. Zhao, he has a high and powerful position, much higher than the official position of the official. If this is impeachment rashly, this... well, what's more, as far as the official knows, Mr. Zhao enforces the law He is strict, impartial and selfless, and is a good official. I am afraid that what happened today was just a moment of negligence."
Impeach Zhao Teng? Wu Yue was a little afraid, but he was too embarrassed to say it clearly, so he made an excuse for himself.
Li Shui sighed and said, "That's all. If Mr. Wu is in trouble, Huai will not force it. Let's just write the memorial myself. After I finish writing it, the same goes for signing Mr. Wu's name."
Wu Yue was about to cry: "Master Huai wrote a memorial, why should he write the names of superior and inferior officials?"
Li Shui patted Wu Yue on the shoulder: "Brother Wu, before the results of the Daitian Law came out, you followed Wang Li to impeach me. I didn't care about it, did you? I even took the initiative to make friends with you and became good friends. Now I have something to ask for, so why are you trying to shirk it in every possible way? If you continue like this, I will have to consider whether we are friends or foes."
"It's just an impeachment of Zhao Teng. Don't worry, Zhao Teng enforces the law strictly and is impartial and selfless. He will definitely not hold a grudge. Even if he really has different intentions, with me here, what are you afraid of? If this thing is done, people will Everyone knows that you are mine, and if you are in the court in the future, who will dare to touch you?"
Li Shui threatened and promised. Wu Yue had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Then I will go back and write the memorial."
Li Shui enthusiastically took out a piece of white cloth, wrapped two steamed buns, stuffed them into Wu Yue's arms, and asked him to take them away.
After Wu Yue left, Li Xin was puzzled and asked Li Shui: "Why did Wu Yue impeach Zhao Teng?"
Li Shui said: "Wu Yue people are not evil-minded, but they are too indecisive. They have taken refuge in me, but they dare not take a stand completely. They always have a wait-and-see mentality. In the court, being a mere wallflower is the most dangerous thing, because It’s easy to become cannon fodder and be sacrificed.”
"I'm saving him. I'm giving him a chance to completely come to my side. This can be considered a vote of fame."
Li Xin said: "I don't care about Wu Yue. What I ask is why you want to impeach Zhao Teng. Aren't you going to deal with Zhao Gao? Why are you dealing with Zhao Teng again? Brother Huai, let me remind you that although both of them are My surname is Zhao, but it doesn’t matter.”
Li Shui chuckled and said: "The impeachment of Zhao Teng is a lie. I want to put pressure on him to thoroughly investigate the murderer that day, and then go to find Zhao Gao behind the murderer. I want to force Zhao Gao into a panic. Make mistakes in the rush , and finally showed his weakness.”
Li Xin held his chin and thought for a while, then said: "So, you are killing three birds with one stone. You can kill Ma Lingshu, make Wu Yue completely fall to your side, and also attack Zhao Gao."
Li Shui nodded proudly.
Li Xin said with emotion: "No wonder people say that smart people on the battlefield can never defeat smart people in the court. Because generals always rush to kill in front of the two armies, there is always a sense of righteousness in their bones. And the court What about the people in the hall? They are used to making dirty tricks behind their backs, and their evil tendencies are hard to guard against. Brother Huai, I really admire you."
Li Shui pondered Li Xin's words and said hesitantly: "Brother Li, are you praising me?"
…………
Wu Yue quickly wrote the memorial. This memorial was written carefully and tactfully, so it was best not to anger Zhao Teng.
After finishing writing, he ordered someone to prepare a carriage and went to Zhao Teng's house.
As soon as he entered the house, Wu Yue said apologetically: "Master Zhao, there are some things that Wu really can't help himself."
Zhao Teng asked curiously: "What?"
Wu Yue sighed and said: "Ma Lingshu was assassinated today in broad daylight. Where is Huaiguzi? Force me to write a memorial to impeach Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Teng was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "What are you impeaching me for?"
Seeing Zhao Teng's indifferent expression, Wu Yue couldn't help but admire him and said, "I impeach Mr. Zhao for his inability to defend the city and his inability to catch thieves."
Zhao Teng sneered: "What qualifications does Huai Guzi have to evaluate Zhao?"
Wu Yue sighed and said, "Yes. But Xianguan has offended Lord Huai before, and Lord Huai wants to impeach Lord Zhao. I dare not not do it. When gods fight, mortals suffer. You are all gods, I am. He is an innocent mortal. I will hand over this memorial another day and ask Mr. Zhao for your forgiveness."
Zhao Teng said faintly: "Zhao, I don't care what reasons you have or what difficulties you have. Now that Mr. Wu has impeached me, why don't I still greet you with a smile?"
Wu Yue was stunned immediately.
Zhao Teng laughed and said: "Since Mr. Wu has taken refuge in Huaiguzi, then work for him wholeheartedly. There are two sides, hesitant. In the end, Huaiguzi does not trust Mr. Wu, and I, Mr. Zhao, also trust Mr. Wu. Dissatisfied. By then, Mr. Wu may really be in trouble."
Wu Yue became anxious and said: "Zhao... Mr. Zhao, you can't help yourself when you lower your rank."
Zhao Teng's eyes widened: "So, you are afraid of Huaiguzi and not afraid of me anymore? If you don't impeach me, Huaiguzi will retaliate against you. But if you impeach me, aren't you afraid that I will hold a grudge?"
Wu Yue was speechless.
Zhao Teng said coldly: "See you off."
Wu Yue was sent out.
He stood in front of Zhao Teng's house, thought for a long time, and finally said: "What Zhao Teng said is not bad. Now I have to make my position clear. If I stand on Zhao Teng's side, people may not look at me seriously. Once If I'm in trouble, you may not be able to save me. If you stand on Huaiguzi's side, you can be trusted and protected."
"Well, since I have taken refuge in Huaiguzi, I don't want to be in conflict with each other. To be honest, Huaiguzi treats his own people pretty well. Every time I go to Shangjun Courtyard, the craftsman who collects the tickets gives me Give me a discount. How can other people get this kind of treatment?"
Thinking of this, Wu Yue hurried back home. He threw the written memorial aside and wrote another one. The words were so fierce that he almost cursed.
…………
After Wu Yue left, Zhao Teng slowly returned to the back hall and took out the fairy wine sent by Huaiguzi.
Two whole altars. A cup of fairy wine costs 100,000 yuan. How much does two jars of fairy wine cost? Huaiguzi spent a lot of money in order to conquer Wu Yue.
In fact, before Wu Yue came, Huaiguzi sent someone to visit him, gave him two jars of fairy wine, and first explained why he wanted to impeach him. Then he asked him to stimulate Wu Yue and give this timid guy some eye drops.
Obviously, Zhao Teng did a good job.
He got himself a glass of fairy wine and took a cautious sip. Then he closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed it for a while.
After a moment, Zhao Teng opened his eyes, with a strange smile on his face: "This Huaiguzi is actually very smart. Knowing that there are many courtiers in Xianyang City, I usually do things without restraint."
"I deliberately asked Wu Yue to impeach me so that His Majesty would give me a strict order and let me investigate the matter thoroughly at all costs. In this way, I no longer have to pay attention to those courtiers, and I can finally let go and do whatever I want."
Zhao Teng moved his arms and felt a little comfortable. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
