The next day, Wu Yue sent up the memorial to impeach Zhao Teng. During the court meeting, Yingzheng ordered the young eunuch to read the memorial.
This memorial is very interesting. It praises Li Shui at the beginning, saying that Li Shui was magnanimous and did not intend to kill Ma Lingshu after winning the bet.
In line with the principle that God has the virtue of good life, Li Shui treated Ma Lingshu well at Shangjun Courtyard.
After Ma Lingshu was taken to Shangjun Courtyard, Li Shui shouted back and personally untied Ma Lingshu. And dragged him to drink.
Ma Lingshu was moved to tears, fell to the ground, and said that he would do anything for Li Shui. Li Shui smiled slightly and said, "How can you insult the courtiers?" If Master Ma doesn't dislike it, the two of them can make friends.
Ma Lingshu cried loudly, saying that his life was a mess and useless. It wasn't until I met Huai Guzi and saw Mr. Huai's noble character and integrity that I felt that my life was worth it.
The two drank and talked happily, and then Ma Lingshua suggested that they go to the women's house to have fun and enhance their relationship.
But Li Shuijie took care of himself and politely declined. So he ordered several craftsmen from Shangjun's courtyard to take Master Ma to visit the Nulu.
Who would have thought that as soon as he reached the door of Shangjun Courtyard, an assassin would assassinate Lord Ma on the spot.
Next, Zhao Teng was cursed loudly in the memorial. He is said to be an incompetent person who does not seek merit, but seeks no faults. He is said to be mediocre, with only the kindness of a woman and no power of punishment. The assassin dared to kill the minister in the streets of the capital. This was simply ridiculous.
Zhao Teng was very depressed after hearing this, and thought to himself: "You Wu Yue, you scolded me bloody. For such a memorial, how dare you come to my house yesterday to apologize? Are you overestimating my capacity?" ?”
The courtiers who were also part of Wu Yue's group all looked at Wu Yue in shock: "What do you mean? Mr. Wu, you have completely surrendered to Huaiguzi? What about us? We have also given generous gifts and been invited by Huaiguzi to drink at his house. We Shouldn’t there be some expression as well?”
Zhou Qingchen quietly took out a piece of bamboo from his sleeve, lowered his head and wrote down a few words: "It's better to take action than to flatter ten thousand words. Today Wu Yue made a desperate move and boldly gave advice, which shows his sincerity. Brilliant! This person can do it for me." Master."
As for the other courtiers, they were all still thinking about Wu Yue's praise of Li Shui: "What? Huai Guzi is magnanimous? Invite Ma Lingshu to drink fairy wine? Invite Ma Lingshu to go to the nunnery? This is simply nonsense, he Wu Yue will not Blushing?"
"Why does everyone who befriends Huaiguzi become shameless in the end? What is the truth?"
Soon, the little eunuch finished reading. Ying Zheng's face was livid, obviously extremely angry.
What he was angry about was not that Wu Yue impeached Zhao Teng, but that the assassin was so arrogant that he dared to assassinate courtiers in broad daylight.
Although Ma Lingshu lost the bet with his life, he would have been dead long ago. But it should be Huaiguzi who kills him. If everyone could follow their own temper, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Teng and said calmly: "The emissary is guilty."
Zhao Teng immediately stood up and confessed. All this was within his expectation.
Ying Zheng added: "For ten days, I want you to catch the assassin that day. Whoever is behind the assassin must be found out by me. Princes, generals, and ministers, there is no need to worry."
Zhao Teng responded excitedly.
He almost laughed out loud, thinking in his heart: "The time you have dreamed of has finally arrived. Although I am a minister, my status is not low. But this is Xianyang City. There are many people in high positions and powerful positions. Even people with low-level positions often have backers.”
"Other courtiers are just fine. They chat with each other at court meetings and go home to play chess, calligraphy and painting. What about me? I have to manage the affairs of Xianyang City and deal with these courtiers. Whose face is worth it? I can’t let it go. I’ve been looking forward and backward all day long, and I’m so frustrated. It’s true that I’m your majesty’s confidant, but am I the only one of your majesty’s confidants?”
"Today I finally got it right. I want them to see my skills. It lasts for ten days, and it lasts for ten days. These ten days are backed by His Majesty's strict orders. Who dares to disobey? I want to show my authority and let them know that I, Zhao Teng doesn’t just do it randomly.”
After the court meeting ended, all the officials left one after another.
The courtiers looked at Wu Yue with a hint of fear in their eyes.
This guy has never had a backer, and he managed to keep his official career by being cautious in the court. He is usually quiet and quiet, and he is an unknown and good old man.
But now that he had taken refuge with Li Shui, he suddenly turned into an aggressive rooster. For the first impeachment, Zhao Teng, whom His Majesty trusted greatly, was selected. And the words are fierce and unstoppable.
After the courtiers glanced at Wu Yue, they looked at Zhao Teng with fear.
Zhao Teng was impeached today, which is a bit unlucky. But none of the courtiers felt happy about his misfortune. Instead, they were a little afraid of this person.
Within ten days, the murderer must be found and the person behind the murderer must be found. Princes and nobles, there is no need to worry. With His Majesty's words, Zhao Teng will definitely search for this person frantically within ten days.
Now, no one wants to offend Zhao Teng, and they don't even dare to look at him. If Zhao Teng is suspected, he will definitely have to go through a lot of trouble.
Zhao Teng saw the reactions of the courtiers and couldn't help but think: "Could it be that I should be more arrogant and domineering like Huai Guzi?"
While he was thinking, he looked at Li Shui.
When Li Shui saw Zhao Teng looking over, he immediately winked at him, and then walked over excitedly, as if he wanted to put their arms around each other.
Zhao Teng panicked in his heart: "It's over, Huaiguzi wants to force my friendship with me? If this person shamelessly starts shouting, I can't wash him away even if he jumps into the Yellow River."
Seeing that Li Shui was already approaching, Zhao Teng suddenly became wise and pointed at Li Shui and drank: "Huai Guzi, you instigated Wu Yue to humiliate me in court. This hatred is irreconcilable!"
Afterwards, Zhao Teng flicked his sleeves and left.
Li Shui stood there, dumbfounded and could only scratch his head.
Zhao Teng strode out of the palace, and only when he got on his carriage did he chuckle and said to himself: "You still want to set a trap for me? How can it be that easy?"
…………
Li Shui was not discouraged even if he failed to make friends with Zhao Teng. Sooner or later, these old antiques will be tidied up.
He got on the carriage and returned to Shangjun Courtyard.
Wu Tong was already waiting there. In fact, waiting there were not only Wu Tong, but also the fellows who went to the Huns with him that day, and even the family members who followed Ma Lingshu to file a lawsuit that day.
After Li Shui got out of the car, he looked at the craftsman guarding the door: "Have they all paid?"
The craftsman said: "Hand it over."
Li Shui nodded with satisfaction and asked Wu Tong, "What's the matter?"
Wu Tong gave a quick laugh and said: "Your Majesty, you are such a noble man and forget things. Before you went to the Xiongnu, your Majesty had clearly agreed. If you bring back thousands of good horses and countless cattle and sheep, you will let me participate in your business." , selling things from the fairy world.”
Li Shui snorted and said: "My memory is not good, and it seems that shopkeeper Wu's memory is not very good either. As soon as you left, your family members sued me. If it weren't for God's blessing, I would be here now His head is gone. Shopkeeper Wu, it’s okay if I don’t cause you any trouble, but you still have the nerve to get involved in my business?”
Wu Tong looked bitter and glared at the family members fiercely.
The family members kept apologizing and begging Li Shui to show his respect.
Wu Tong also said bravely: "These women and children are ignorant, I hope Master Huai will not argue with them. The villain... After all, the villain has traveled thousands of miles and brought back the cattle and sheep, so he has some merit."
Li Shui said calmly: "On the trip to the Xiongnu, I got three thousand good horses and thirty thousand cattle and sheep. What shopkeeper Wu brought back was only 30%. I'm afraid this credit will be greatly reduced."
Wu Tong looked bitter, but he didn't know what to say.
He knew Li Shui's temper. Once he got angry, he would kill someone on the spot with the gold medal in one hand and the sword in the other.
But when I think about a golden mountain in front of me, but I can't knock off a piece of it, it's simply worse than death.
So Wu Tong began to talk about how difficult it was for him to be in the Huns, how he narrowly escaped death and almost died.
Finally, Li Shui said helplessly: "That's all, I won't care too much about you. You went to the Xiongnu, and you deserve credit for your hard work, but your family members sued me, which caused me a lot of trouble. . Do you have any objection to doing business with you, and you will be reduced to half of the shares as punishment?"
Wu Tong said repeatedly: "Absolutely not."
Li Shui added: "You only brought back 30% of the cattle and sheep. Therefore, on the basis of half of the shares, I only give you 30%. Do you have any objection?"
Wu Tong said: "I have absolutely no objection."
What a joke, this is a golden mountain. No matter how many points it is divided into, if a cup of fairy wine worth one hundred thousand dollars is divided into one hundred parts, it is still one thousand dollars, an absolute huge profit.
Li Shui nodded with satisfaction and said: "According to Wang Laoshi's practice, he accounts for 10%. I won't treat you badly, you also account for 10%. But with the previous punishment, you account for half of 10%. , then multiplied by three tenths. That’s…”
Li Shui was counting on his fingers, but Wu Tong next to him had already calculated it and said: "The villain accounts for two to three percent."
Li Shui snorted: "Two and three percent. This number is not easy to remember. Let me take a small loss and make up the whole amount for you, and you can take one percent."
Wu Tong was stunned: "Are you at a disadvantage or am I at a disadvantage?"
But he didn't have the guts to bargain with Li Shui, so he agreed. One percent is just one percent. Only one percent is enough to make you rich.
Li Shui said to Cang Fu next to him: "In the next few days, I will hand over to Wu Tong. Teach him the flour grinding technique. From now on, he will be responsible for buying flour."
Cano agreed.
Li Shui said to Wu Tong: "I am a person who prefers to delegate power. I will not interfere too much in your management. Just give me 99% of the profits. There is one thing I want to remind you. Check the accounts regularly, if you dare to cheat me with fraud, I will not forgive you."
Wu Tong was a little on the verge of tears and thought to himself: "After all, I have become your big accountant."
But then I thought about it, even a 1% profit is enough. There is a lot to be done with flour grinding. It is much safer than carrying jewelry around and risking being killed and robbed.
So Wu Tong left with a lot of gratitude. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
