Since Li Shui came back, many people have come to visit Shangjun Courtyard. Some people want to curry favor with the immortals, while others want to apologize.
Wu Yue and the others were the ones who apologized.
They drew a clear line with Li Shui at his most critical moment. Now they regretted it and were a little scared, so they cautiously came to Shangjun Courtyard, hoping to restore their relationship with Li Shui.
Unfortunately, when they walked to the gate, they found that they had lost the qualifications to banish immortal friends, and the discounted tickets were cancelled, and became the full price of 100,000 yuan.
Wu Yue and his party's faces were ashen. They don't care about tens of thousands of dollars, what they care about is Li Shui's attitude. Now that the tickets have returned to their original price, this clearly means that the banished immortal is dissatisfied with them.
Wu Yue said to Niu Dao almost pleadingly: "Even husbands and wives sometimes quarrel. We are indeed good friends, but we had some minor misunderstandings before..."
As he spoke, Wu Yue's old face turned a little red. It was the banished immortal who forced them to become good friends. Now that it's better, the banished immortal removed them from the title of good friend, but they begged him with shameless faces to continue to be good friends.
Alas, if this spreads out, it will be a joke.
Niu Du looked at Wu Yue, looked at the courtiers behind him, and said calmly: "This matter is an order given by the banished immortal himself. How dare a villain make the decision? My lords, if you are worried about the ticket money, why not go home and rest. Shang Jun’s Courtyard doesn’t really care about the tens of thousands of dollars. It’s just that I don’t want people to wait and come in and out all day long to disturb the Immortal’s Qing Cultivation.”
Wu Yue and the others look at me and I look at you. Everyone has come this far. If we turn around and go back now, wouldn't that offend the Immortal to death?
They took out 100,000 yuan, and those who had no money used jewelry to pay off the debt, and then entered the Shangjun Courtyard.
When these people come, they all bring gifts. I hope that the banished immortal will let them go if they see money.
After they entered, they began to look around, looking for Li Shui. Unfortunately, I searched and searched, but never saw anyone.
They once stopped several craftsmen and asked them where the banished immortals were. The craftsman just said that the banished immortal was in Shangjun's courtyard, but he didn't know where it was exactly.
Wu Yue and the others searched for two hours, their backs ached from exhaustion and their mouths were dry, but they didn't even see a single figure.
Finally, these people couldn't stand it anymore and sat down on a big rock to rest.
One of the courtiers said quietly: "My lords, do you think this banished immortal is hiding from us on purpose?"
As soon as this was said, everyone else nodded. In fact, everyone has this feeling, but they have not exposed it. Wu Yue sighed: "The banished immortal deliberately avoids us, how can we give this gift? I'm afraid we will not be able to untie the festival with the banished immortal."
The man from before also sighed and said faintly: "I'm not afraid of being able to celebrate the festival. I don't pursue any fame or fortune. If we become strangers to the banished immortals from now on, then we'll just be strangers. Just be afraid. The banished immortal remembers that he hates you and me, so he will turn around and do evil in secret."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Will the banished immortal hold a grudge against everyone? That's for sure. This guy is famous for being shameless and retributive.
Wu Yue and others became more and more frightened as they thought about it, and they all stood up from the stone: "Let's not rest any longer. Let's continue searching. Find the banished immortal as soon as possible and present the gift. He received the generous gift, so even if he wants to punish us, he is probably a little embarrassed. .”
Everyone nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
They answered quite confidently, but in fact they felt very uneasy. A shameless person like the Exalted Immortal, would you be embarrassed to punish someone after receiving a gift? How is this possible?
But now there is no other way, let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Wu Yue and others searched around again until they found the red sun to the west, but still found no one. They were hungry and exhausted.
Finally, Wu Yue gave the gift to a craftsman and asked him to deliver it on his behalf. The craftsman readily agreed.
However, Wu Yue and others also knew that there was a huge difference between asking someone to hand it over and presenting it in person. But now that the matter has come to this, what else can be done?
They walked toward the door listlessly. When they were halfway there, they passed a small courtyard.
The yard was filled with leather goods, like a hill. Although these leather goods are somewhat dirty, there are also some that are relatively clean.
The strange thing is that the craftsmen poured some chicken blood, dog blood, and other dirty things on the leather goods, and then chopped them randomly with knives and stabbed them randomly with spears.
Wu Yue and others were dumbfounded. They curiously asked one of the craftsmen: "Why... why is it like this?"
The craftsman said: "If not, can the poor people outside afford it?"
Wu Yue was a little confused and couldn't figure out the logic of this for a long time.
Wu Yue grabbed another person and asked, "Is this the request of the banished immortal?"
Takumi nodded and said, "Yes."
Wu Yue and others looked at each other: "What does this mean?"
They walked outside with puzzled expressions. When they walked out of Shangjun's courtyard, Wu Yue suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at his colleagues behind him solemnly: "Everyone, do you think the banished immortal will let you and me go?"
Those people were silent. Judging from their expressions, they were very heavy. They were probably not very optimistic about this.
Wu Yue sighed and said: "If you banish an immortal, you must take revenge. The person who offended him must be punished, let alone the person who betrayed him? In my opinion, this time, we are doomed."
Everyone nodded with sad faces.
Wu Yue added: "However, there is no perfect way for everyone. Now there is a way to survive in death, but I don't know if you dare to do it."
The courtiers all asked: "What is the solution?"
Wu Yue said: "We will write a memorial tonight and send it to His Majesty's desk early tomorrow. This memorial is to impeach the immortal."
The courtiers were all shocked: "Master Wu, do you think you didn't die quickly enough?"
Wu Yue waved his hand and said: "Listen to me, everyone. This memorial is naturally not a simple impeachment. There must be real evidence, and the righteousness must be shown to eliminate relatives. And the crime cannot be too serious, and the banishment of the immortal cannot be described as treason. In that case, There’s no room for maneuver.”
"We want to criticize the banished immortal and make him angry. If the banished immortal wants to deal with us, it will be a deliberate retaliation. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it."
Courtiers, you look at me, I look at you, and ask Wu Yue: "So what? The banished immortal has made it clear that he wants to retaliate against you and me. What can I do? You and I both know what the immortal is like. Does he care about the opinions of others?" "
Wu Yue said: "Everyone, we are writing a memorial to impeach the Immortal, not to restrain the Immortal. But to tell His Majesty that we will not hesitate to offend the Immortal for the sake of the country and the common people."
"In the future, the Immortal will find out about our mistakes and write a report in front of His Majesty. Your Majesty will naturally think that this is the Immortal's revenge on us."
"In this way, Your Majesty will reduce big things to small matters and trivial matters to nothing. Even if the banished immortal really fabricates some charges against us, Your Majesty will not take it too seriously, and naturally he will not punish us."
The courtiers finally turned around and gave Wu Yue a thumbs up: "Gao, this move is really good. It is indeed a way to survive in death."
Wu Yue stroked his beard and thought: If this thing is done, I will be the first person to escape death from the banished immortal. This alone is enough to be famous throughout the ages.
The courtiers discussed for a while, and finally someone asked: "We... on what grounds should we impeach the immortal?"
Wu Yue said confidently: "Didn't you see it just now? A good leather robe, but the banished immortal ordered someone to pierce it and then sell it to the poor."
"That's what the craftsman said just now? He said that if it's in good condition, the poor peasants can't afford it. It's really unreasonable. Isn't this teasing and humiliating the people? This is simply more irritating than eating food."
The courtiers nodded one after another and said excitedly: "Brilliant plan, brilliant plan. We will impeach the banished immortal in the name of teasing the people. This is a small mistake. After the impeachment memorial is presented, it does not count as a life-and-death feud with the banished immortal. And I can express my attitude in front of His Majesty."
Wu Yue smiled and nodded.
So these people hurried home. On the way, they had already prepared the manuscript. That night, they wrote it quickly and finished a memorial. At dawn, it was already delivered to the palace.
…………
Ying Zheng had already handed over the disposal of those fur goods to Li Shui. This can also be regarded as a reward for his insistence on sending troops to the Huns.
He heard that Li Shui did not use it to make a profit, but gave it to the poor farmers nearby at a price of ten yuan a piece, which was almost free, and he immediately appreciated it.
But soon, the memorial from Wu Yue and others was presented.
After Ying Zheng read the memorial, his face suddenly darkened, and he was about to call Si Tu over, but after a second thought, he changed his mind and called Ji Ming.
Ji Ming covered his buttocks and went to the study room.
He was quite puzzled, why did he have to be beaten so early today?
However, Ying Zheng did not beat him, but only told him: "Go to Shangjun's courtyard and check out the situation inside. See if these leather goods have been damaged by humans and deliberately smeared with blood."
Ji Ming's eyes filled with excitement: How long has it been? Will His Majesty finally consider me as his confidant again?
He happily agreed and hurried to Shangjun's courtyard.
But when he was halfway there, Ji Ming suddenly felt something in his heart: "It's broken, how can I go to Shangjun Courtyard?"
Ji Ming was already in debt at Shangjun Courtyard. On weekdays, you hide in the palace, and you are still being collected for debts. Today, you are going to Shang Jun's Courtyard. Isn't that just throwing yourself into a trap?
But this is His Majesty's errand. If you can't do it, you will be beheaded.
Ji Ming stood on the street, watching people coming and going, but he didn't know what to do. I couldn't help but feel sore in my nose and wanted to cry.
