In Xianyang City, there were rumors again that Gongsun Cheng and others were not killed, and Huaiguzi was very unwilling to do so. ▲-八▲-八▲-Read ▲-Book, ◇o≧ wanted to continue to slander, but Master Fu Yao finally interceded, and then Huaiguzi agreed to let Gongsun Cheng and others go.
When the people in Gongsun City heard the news, they were immediately grateful to Master Fu Yao and cursed Huai Guzi.
After the scolding, they also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they had been on tenterhooks ever since they returned home, thinking that banishing the immortal would not be so easy.
Sure enough, Ban Xian really wanted revenge. Fortunately...fortunately, the generous and kind-hearted Master Fu Yao interceded for everyone.
As for where the rumor came from, the courtiers didn't care. If they inquired carefully, they might know that these rumors came from the Exorcist Tower. By then, they will probably accuse Huaiguzi of being evil-hearted again.
Although Gongsun Cheng was released, it does not mean that he will not be punished. The punishment has not been released yet, so they are all waiting uneasily at home.
According to past experience, the punishment is nothing more than a reduction in rank and a fine in salary, or at most, being demoted to a commoner. But this time, they didn't know what to do because Huaiguzi, the shit-stirring stick, kept messing around.
Three days later, the punishment was handed down, and a group of people from Gongsun City went to the Northland to take charge of local education.
Upon hearing the news, Gongsun Cheng fainted on the spot. Is there any difference between going to the Northland and going to die?
The young eunuch who delivered the order looked at Gongsun City with sympathy: "Sir, you have to be more open-minded. It is said that opportunities are everywhere in the North. If you can find one or two mineral deposits or draw a map, you will be there immediately. With a great achievement, not only will the official be reinstated, he will also be promoted to sanji."
Gongsun Cheng smiled bitterly and asked the young eunuch: "Do you believe this?"
The young eunuch didn't say anything. To be honest, he didn't really believe what he said. The Northland is very desolate, and those mineral deposits are underground. If you look for a needle in a haystack, how many can you find?
Those alchemists did find a few, but the proportion was too low. Most people still find nothing.
But... Beidi is going to settle down anyway, so why can't we just be more open-minded about it.
The young eunuch felt that Gongsun Cheng was really not open-minded and did not have the bearing of an important official of the country.
Of course, the young eunuch could think so mainly because he was not the one who was sent to the North. If it were him, I'm afraid he would have hanged himself long ago.
Gongsun Cheng sent the young eunuch away with a dejected look on his face, and then ordered his servants to take some money and buy a lot of wine. And he was told by name that he was not allowed to buy Li Shui's fairy wine.
After buying the wine, Gongsun Cheng drank from noon to evening, got very drunk, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, his luggage had been packed by his family. Gongsun Cheng took two servants, sat in a carriage, and rushed out of Xianyang City with a gloomy look on his face.
His Majesty's decree is that they set out today.
When Gongsun Cheng arrived outside the city, he saw about ten courtiers arriving. Including servants, there are about forty or fifty people.
These people were speechless and could only smile bitterly.
The officers and soldiers responsible for escorting them saw that everyone was gathered, waved their hands and said, "Let's go."
The courtiers all turned around in unison and looked at Xianyang City where they had lived for half their lives. After leaving today, I don’t know if I can come back in the future.
Xianyang City was as peaceful as ever, and no courtiers came to see them off.
The courtiers felt lonely in their hearts. Ever since their accident, all those relatives and friends have gone into hiding. ↙Eight↙Eight↙read↙, ※o◇Some people who followed the trend and scolded Li Shui frequently visited Shangjun Courtyard with money. It's simply embarrassing.
While the courtiers were sighing, a man from far away ran over panting and said in a tearful voice: "I'm here to see you off."
The courtiers turned around and saw Ji Ming.
To be honest, part of the reason why they impeached Huaiguzi was because they were instigated by Ji Ming.
Ji Ming has become eloquent recently, analyzing the pros and cons, saying that if Huai Guzi is defeated, there will definitely be a vacancy in the court. At that time, the person who made the greatest contribution will go to heaven.
And inside and outside his words, Ji Ming was hinting that behind him stood Hu Hai and Hu Ji, as well as Guandong Haoqiang.
People like Gongsun Cheng were so obsessed that they believed Ji Ming's lies, and ended up like this. They really regret it.
I just didn't expect that now Ji Ming would actually come to say goodbye. This man has a bit of conscience.
The courtiers said goodbye to Ji Ming one by one, then turned and left.
Ji Ming sighed, and walked slowly towards Xianyang City with his hands behind his back a little lonely.
On the way, I met a wizard. The sorcerer glanced at him, turned around and ran away.
Ji Ming was furious, stretched out his hand to grab the man back, and said viciously: "Why did you turn around and run away when you saw me?"
The wizard smiled bitterly: "How dare you, little man? I just suddenly remembered that there is still rice burning on the stove at home. Now there is no one to look after it. If the house is burned down, it will be bad."
Ji Ming was furious: "Fart, when did you start cooking? Tell the truth, otherwise, I will never forgive you."
Ji Ming is wearing casual clothes today, but after being a eunuch for a long time, he always has some temperament about him. This temperament was felt by the wizard, so he was a little afraid.
Ji Ming said quietly: "Speak immediately, otherwise, I will make your life worse than death."
The wizard hesitated for a long time, and then whispered: "Young man, you know the art of physiognomy. As long as you see a person's appearance, you can guess the person's personality and destiny..."
"Oh?" Ji Ming suddenly became interested and said curiously: "Now that you have seen me, why not help me guess what my future fortune will be?"
The wizard was silent for a few seconds, then said with a dry smile: "My lord is Gu Chen Ming."
Ji Ming asked: "What is Gu Chen?"
The wizard said: "The so-called Gu Chen's destiny is to harm the relatives and friends around him. Whoever gets close to him will be unlucky."
Ji Ming was furious: "You dare to insult me?"
The wizard smiled bitterly and said, "You asked me to tell the truth."
Ji Ming lost his temper and suddenly put the wizard down slowly. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have such a constitution.
We were close to Wang before, but Wang was finished. Later, he wanted to seek refuge with Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao died again. After finally contacting Tian Jing, Tian Jing was also tricked and killed... As for the people in Gongsun City, they were also sent to the North.
"Could it be that I am really Gu Chen's fate?" Ji Ming shuddered.
But he quickly shook his head: "No, your calculation is not accurate. I once served a nobleman for ten years, why is he safe and sound?"
The wizard was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "If my guess is correct, you are coming from the palace, right?"
Ji Ming was shocked: "How do you know?"
The wizard smiled slightly: "As I said just now, I know some fortune-telling skills."
This time, Ji Ming was convinced.
The wizard sneered in his heart: Idiot, seeing that you have no beard and a shrill voice, you are clearly a eunuch. Isn't it difficult to guess?
After confirming this, the sorcerer said quietly: "The noble people you serve must be the emperor or concubines. These people are beyond words, and you can't touch them."
Ji Ming exclaimed: "That's it."
But he quickly asked strangely: "Then why did you run away after seeing me? Even if I can disturb relatives and friends, I won't disturb passers-by, right?"
The wizard said helplessly: "Your Excellency is in a particularly bad mood today, so your evil spirits are so strong that everyone you see will be unlucky."
Ji Ming sneered: "This is a bit alarmist. Why are you not unlucky?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone pointing not far away and saying: "Fire started, fire started."
The wizard glanced in that direction, his face suddenly changed, and he stamped his feet vigorously: "Oops, oops. I'm afraid my residence will be reduced to ashes."
The shaman broke away from Ji Ming and hurriedly ran towards the direction of the fire.
Ji Ming scratched his head in confusion: "Are you...really cooking?"
Suddenly, another gust of wind came, and the burning roof was blown up. Then those sparks were floating around. Most ended up on this street.
The residences here are close to the city gate and are mostly inhabited by poor people. Many of their roofs have thatched roofs. After being touched by the scraped sparks, it immediately started to smoke.
The common people began to cry and put out the fire, and many people stamped their feet and shouted: "We didn't do anything harmful to nature, why are we so unlucky?"
The situation is so miserable that it is unbearable to look at. The sound is so painful that it is unbearable to hear.
Ji Ming lowered his head, no longer daring to look at anyone, and hurriedly walked towards the palace.
When he was halfway there, Ji Ming changed his mind again and entered a pawn shop.
Pawn shops are a thing that only appeared recently. Everyone quickly figured out his rules. Who hasn’t had an emergency? Therefore, this pawn shop opened not long ago, but the business is booming.
The name of the pawnshop is very special, it's called the Immortal Pawnshop. No need to ask, this is opened by Huaiguzi.
The pawn shop collects and sells things.
There are all kinds of things taken in, everything is included. Most of the items sold were jewelry and the like, which were used to pay off one hundred thousand yuan in the Shangjun Courtyard.
The people in charge of these businesses are Wu Tong's men.
The clerk saw Ji Ming coming in and asked with a smile: "Sir, are you buying or selling?"
Ji Ming took out a piece of jade and said, "Sell it."
Ji Ming's jewelry had already been scattered when he bribed Zhao Gao. The jade in my hand now was obtained from Tian Jing after I met him.
Now that Tian Jing is dead, this beautiful jade symbolizing friendship is of no use. It would be more practical to exchange it for some real money.
The man looked at Ji Ming's beautiful jade and said loudly: "It is eaten by insects and bitten by rats. It is a bare piece of wood and a piece of broken stone."
Ji Ming was stunned.
It was his first time to come to the pawn shop. He didn't know the rules, so he stammered and explained: "This is jade. Insects and mice will bite jade? Whose jade is not bare? If it has hair, wouldn't it be scary? Isn't that scary?" How can a beautiful jade be called a broken stone?"
The waiter smiled slightly and said, "This is our code of conduct, set by the banishment of immortals."
When Ji Ming heard this, he stopped talking.
A kid with a snotty nose in the back said, "What did you just say? The worm eats the mouse, what's next?"
The man looked at Gou Sheng holding the brush and was a little speechless. This kid's memory is too poor. Are you here to help, or are you here to be a disservice?
The waiter said helplessly: "It's nothing but a piece of wood. It's a piece of broken stone. Two hundred dollars. Sir, do you want to be a living person or a dead person? There is a big difference. You have to think about it."
When Ji Ming heard that it was two hundred dollars, he immediately went crazy: "Such a beautiful jade, only worth two hundred dollars?"
The clerk chuckled: "I'm thinking about you. When you redeem the jade in the future, you can redeem it for only more than two hundred dollars. If I give you twenty thousand dollars, you will never get it back. ?”
Ji Ming said to the clerk: "Such a beautiful jade is probably worth more than 100,000 yuan. You only gave me 200 yuan, where is your conscience?"
The clerk said with a smile: "One hundred thousand dollars? What you think is great. Could it be that you have been to Shangjun Courtyard and the people there told you?"
After Ji Mingjing was reminded like this, he suddenly realized: "Yes, you can use jewelry to pay for the admission to Shangjun Courtyard."
Afterwards, Ji Ming ignored the guy and left with Meiyu.
He came here to pawn his jade in order to exchange for 100,000 yuan and get a ticket to enter Shangjun's Villa. Now he suddenly remembered that he could directly use jewelry to offset the amount, so he wouldn't have to be tricked by the pawn shop.
So Ji Ming rushed to Shangjun Courtyard excitedly.
He entered Shang Jun's Villa because he wanted to make peace with Li Shui. If possible, it would be best to become close friends.
Of course. This is not Ji Ming's real purpose. He wants to use his fate to harm Li Shui.
So many people have failed to defeat the banished immortal. If he was defeated by his own fate, it would probably be a good story.
Along the way, Ji Ming didn't raise his head until he approached Shang Jun's Courtyard, then he raised his head and looked at the place with affection.
When Niu Dao saw Ji Ming approaching, he yawned and said lazily: "Those who don't have patches on their bodies will have to pay 100,000 yuan to enter. Those who have patches will be free."
Later, Niu Calf took out another piece of fairy paper, which was a price list.
Ji Ming looked at it for a while, and suddenly said with some emotion: "If you accept the banished immortal as your uncle, you can come in and out for free?"
Niu Dao looked at Ji Ming in confusion: "You want to recognize the banished immortal as your uncle?"
To be honest, since the price list came out, there are some people who apply for monthly passes, and there are also people who apply for annual passes. But there is no one who wants to recognize his uncle for free.
After all, the people who come here are all respectable people, and no one is willing to give his father an extra brother for one hundred thousand dollars.
Unexpectedly, the forest is so big that everyone is there. He actually really wanted to recognize his uncle.
Niu Dao glanced at him: "Name, official position, address. Tell me everything. I will write it down and submit it to the banished immortal for review."
Ji Ming answered honestly: "My name is Ji Ming, and I work as an errand in the palace. I am an official..."
As soon as Niu Dao heard that his name was Ji Ming, he suddenly looked like he was suddenly enlightened: "So you are the broom star."
Ji Ming suddenly looked depressed.
Niu Dao looked at him sympathetically: "There has been an order to banish the immortal for a long time. People like you are not allowed to recognize relatives. In fact, you don't have to be disappointed. If you want to recognize relatives, the requirements are extremely high. First of all, your title is not qualified. .”
Ji Ming sighed and had no choice but to take out the beautiful jade and said, "Please help me see if this thing is worth one hundred thousand dollars?" 11
