Ji Ming stood on the street for a long time. Thinking of His Majesty's majesty, it seemed that he had to go to Shangjun Villa. If he openly resists the order this time, it may not be as simple as a slap in the face, and he may even be beheaded.
But think about the debt of Shangjun Courtyard. If it goes away, it will be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
When Ji Ming was distressed, he suddenly looked up and saw the shaman from a few days ago.
Ji Ming's eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the shaman's clothes.
The wizard turned his head and saw Ji Ming and almost cried. He tried his best to smile and said awkwardly: "It turns out to be Mr. Ji."
Ji Ming felt much better when he heard the words 'Master Ji'. However, he still said viciously: "The transport stone you gave me is useless at all."
The wizard said bravely: "How could it be useless? Sir, what happened to you again?"
Ji Ming said: "I just killed the Huns not long ago, and the Wang family knelt down and begged for mercy. If your transport stone was useful, how could it be like this?"
The wizard was stunned for a moment: "Really?"
Ji Ming nodded: "Of course it's true."
The shaman thought to himself: This is a lone star of evil spirits. I have to get away quickly, otherwise I might be in danger if I stay with such ominous things for a long time.
The wizard coughed dryly and said to Ji Ming: "Master Ji, you single-handedly wiped out the Huns. This is an unparalleled feat. Your Majesty didn't give you any reward?"
Ji Ming was stunned for a moment and thought: This seems to be the case.
But soon, he said helplessly: "How dare I tell the truth? If Your Majesty asks, how did I harm the Huns, should I say..."
Ji Mingyang was about to say that he had received a generous gift from the Huns, but luckily his head suddenly flashed and he stopped the car in time.
This kind of thing is a secret among secrets. If the sorcerer knew about it, wouldn't he have his own excuse? If he yelled out and everyone in the city knew about it, wouldn't he die without a burial place?
Ji Ming wiped the cold sweat on his head: It was so dangerous. Fortunately, I was smart.
The wizard next to him was still looking at Ji Ming curiously, and asked cautiously: "What method did Master Ji use to kill the Huns?"
Ji Ming said calmly: "You don't need to know what method I used."
The wizard understood and nodded: "Yes, yes, the villain talks too much."
While he was apologizing, the shaman was thinking wildly in his heart: This person is Guchen Ming, and whoever makes friends with him will be unlucky. He was able to kill the Huns, could it be said that... he had made friends with the Huns? Oh my, this is secretly communicating with the barbarians, this is a big crime.
The more the wizard thought about it, the more frightened he became, but on the surface he remained calm.
Ji Ming kept asking him from the side: "Tell me, what is going on? Why do your transport stones have no effect at all?"
The wizard coughed dryly and said, "Master Ji, I don't know if you have heard of this sentence: It is called destiny that cannot be violated."
Ji Ming nodded.
The wizard continued: "The transport stone can change one's destiny. But if it is God's will to destroy the Xiongnu, it will make the Wang family kneel down and beg for mercy. How can my little transport stone compete with the sky?"
Ji Ming was slightly startled: "You mean, the demise of the Xiongnu and the decline of the Wang family have nothing to do with me?"
The wizard scratched his head: "It may not have anything to do with it. But a gentleman is in this world. It's best to go with the flow and not go against nature. In this way, my stone can work."
Ji Ming nodded: "I understand. If the sky wants someone to perish, and I am on good terms with him, then I will add fuel to the fire and make him die faster. If the sky wants someone to be rich, and I wear a luck stone, It won’t hinder him.”
The wizard nodded: "That's the truth."
Ji Ming nodded with satisfaction. Then he dragged the wizard to a corner and whispered: "There is a place that is inconvenient for me to go to. You can help me run an errand and find out some information. After the matter is completed, this string and a half will be yours."
The wizard lowered his head and saw that there were at least more than a hundred copper coins in Ji Ming's hand. His eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Where does Master Ji want this little person to go?"
Ji Ming said with a smile: "It's not far, a quarter of an hour's walk out of the city, inside Shangjun's courtyard."
When the wizard heard this, he gave Ji Ming another copper coin and said with a dry smile: "Master Ji, I injured my leg recently and am limping. Not to mention going to Shang Jun's courtyard, I just went to the hut. It’s all so strenuous.”
Ji Ming looked down and said quietly, "I see there's nothing wrong with your legs and feet."
The shaman explained with a grimace: "It's an internal injury."
Seeing that Ji Ming still wanted to go there, the wizard was a little panicked. After all, the ticket price for Shangjun Courtyard was 100,000 yuan, but Ji Ming only gave 100 yuan. If I don't quit this job, I'm going to lose everything.
So the wizard said bravely: "What are you going to do in Shangjun Courtyard, Master Ji? There are some things that you don't have to go in. Maybe you can do it outside."
Ji Ming's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "It makes sense."
Then he said briefly: "Someone reported something to His Majesty, and Your Majesty asked me to investigate."
The sorcerer immediately said: "Who reported it? Master Ji is going to interrogate the reporter. Later, bribe a craftsman and listen to what he says. If the two people say the same thing, then it is true."
Ji Ming was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense, that makes sense."
The wizard eagerly cupped his hands and said goodbye: "Master Ji, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave now. I have to go to the medical clinic to see my leg."
Ji Ming nodded.
The wizard sighed, tried his best to pretend to be lame, and limped across the street. As a result, two children were running wildly on the street and accidentally bumped into the wizard.
The wizard pretended to be injured. He was already standing unsteadily, but after being hit like this, he immediately fell to the side. Then, his knee hit a sharp stone.
A heartbreaking pain came, and the wizard howled like a slaughtering pig.
Ji Ming was very satisfied with what he saw not far away, and thought to himself: "Whether you were really injured before or not, you must be injured now."
Ji Ming left with satisfaction. The witch was sent to the hospital.
While bandaging, the sorcerer cried out in pain and cursed in his heart: This broom star never does anything good when you meet him. He is so effective.
After bandaging his knee, the wizard found a wooden stick as a crutch and limped into the Exorcist Tower.
He sneakily said to Wang Zheng: "Boss, I heard that there are rewards for reporting traitors?"
Wang Laoshi said lazily: "You are in the wrong place. If you want to commit adultery, go to the government."
The wizard whispered: "This matter may be related to the banishment of immortals."
Wang Laoshi became serious and asked, "What's going on?"
The wizard said nothing.
Mr. Wang stuffed a piece of gold into his hand.
The wizard was overjoyed and said: "Someone has made a complaint to banish an immortal in front of Your Majesty. Your Majesty ordered Ji Ming to investigate in detail."
Wang Laoshi said, "Do you know what you are suing for?"
The wizard shook his head: "That's not clear."
Wang Laoshi hummed and was about to send him away.
The resultant wizard whispered again: "I still have a secret."
Wang Laoshi gave him another piece of gold.
The wizard felt happy and whispered: "I suspect that Ji Ming is collaborating with the enemy, but I have no evidence..."
…………
The wizard is visiting Wang Laoshi. Ji Ming visited Wu Yue and others door to door.
When the people in Wu Yue saw Ji Ming coming, they all looked like they were seeing the god of plague. Now, some rumors have begun to spread in Xianyang City, saying that Ji Ming is a bad guy and will harm anyone he befriends.
However, this time Ji Ming claimed to be here on behalf of the emperor. This banner was too big. Wu Yue and others did not have the courage to refuse, so they reluctantly opened the door and invited Ji Ming in.
After Ji Ming entered the door, he didn't talk nonsense and asked Wu Yue straight to the point.
Wu Yue honestly told what he had seen and heard in Shangjun Courtyard. Ji Ming wrote down these words in detail on the bamboo slips.
Then, he began to hint to Wu Yue that now they, the courtiers, had separated from Huaiguzi and had no backers. And these people who had been friends with Huaiguzi also had stains on their bodies and would not be accepted by the noble courtiers.
Instead of being a lonely ghost in the court, it would be better to get together with him, Ji Ming. After all, Ji Ming can be regarded as a close minister of the emperor, so they can take care of each other.
After hearing this, the people in Wu Yue felt as if they had received a reminder. They were so frightened that they quickly found excuses to refuse.
Ji Ming was very depressed. He wanted to imitate Li Shui and forcibly become close friends with these people, but then he thought that his strength was a bit low and not enough to threaten the courtiers, so he had to give up.
Before leaving, Ji Ming hinted that if he was given some benefits, he would say something Wu Yue hoped to say when reporting to His Majesty. In this way, Ji Ming plundered some money from Wu Yue and others.
Ji Ming visited eight or nine courtiers' homes in total, and what he plundered was barely enough to cover this month's debt.
Of course, Ji Ming has no intention of repaying that kind of debt, so he should keep the money for other purposes. If you're being pushed too hard, just give it a little more and let yourself catch your breath.
Ji Ming took the money to the Immortal Exile Tower, where craftsmen often appeared. He could give his confession to see if it was the same as what Wu Yue's gang said.
After Ji Ming arrived, he was thinking about whether to use his status as a close minister of the emperor to get some money from the Immortal Exile Tower. As a result, Wang Laoshi said lazily: "Whether you drink or not, you have to pay 500 yuan. This is the minimum consumption."
Ji Ming was a little depressed, so he paid 500 yuan, looked around, and saw a handyman.
The craftsmen of the Banished Immortal Building work on a rotating basis. They work for a few days at Shangjun Courtyard and for a few days at the Banished Immortal Building. In the words of Huai Guzi, this is to avoid boring life.
Ji Ming grabbed the craftsman and said with a smile: "I want to ask you something."
The craftsman didn't refuse when he arrived. He just extended his hand and said, "One thousand dollars, I will tell you whatever you ask."
Ji Ming was furious and whispered: "His Majesty sent me here. Do you dare not to tell me?"
The craftsman shook his head: "Since it is His Majesty's order, how dare I not say it? But I can always ignore it, right?"
The meaning is obvious. If you don’t give me money, I won’t know what you ask.
Ji Ming gritted his teeth, counted out a thousand dollars, and handed it to the craftsman with gritted teeth.
