Ji Ming was very concerned about Li Shui. He heard that the emperor had summoned many great scholars today to lecture Li Shui on benevolence, etiquette, and righteousness, so he came early and lingered around, refusing to leave, wanting to see what was going on. progress. Mobile terminal
As a result, Fu Yao was soon heard shouting that Li Shui had defeated all the scholars with his tongue.
Ji Ming suddenly became dejected and had no energy left to work.
As a result, his appearance was seen by Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng frowned and said coldly: "I didn't hit you yesterday, but you were limping around and seemed to be in unbearable pain. Why are you pretending like this? "
Ji Ming was speechless, thinking: Your Majesty didn't hit me, I did it myself. But how do I say this? What is my motive for receiving the punishment myself?
Just when Ji Ming was hesitating, Ying Zheng said coldly: "I've been playing tricks all day long to deceive superiors and subordinates. I really deserve a beating. If someone comes, I'll be punished."
When Ji Ming heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. Yesterday's hundred sticks were finally used today.
As a result, when he walked to the executioner, he happened to see Wu Jiao.
Wujiao and two young eunuchs looked gloating and made sure to watch.
Ji Ming could only bite the bullet and lie down and said to the executioner: "I won't say anything unnecessary. Justice is in the heart of the people."
The executioner nodded sympathetically, and then began to impose the cane punishment.
The executioner was also a little depressed. Yesterday he was sweating profusely and managed to get a hundred canes. Today, he still needs to be beaten? Who did I offend?
But Wujiao was watching eagerly from the side, and it would be impossible if he didn't beat him. The executioner had no choice but to sigh and continue to beat him.
Ji Ming cried, crying out of grievance.

Li Shui was drinking with Li Xin in Shangjun's courtyard.
Li Xin asked Li Shui in confusion: "Why did you give Wu Yue the right to handle the leather goods?"
Li Shui said: "If you don't leave it to them, these people think it's easy to deal with the leather goods. After they mess up, I will come out to clean up the mess. That will make me look smart, and maybe I can earn more credit."
Li Xin asked in confusion: "How can you be sure that those people in Wu Yue can't do it?"
Li Shui chuckled: "These people may be able to talk, but it's a bit difficult to do practical things. Otherwise, Da Qin would have turned into a fairyland on earth long ago. Would there be any need for me to come down to earth?"
Li Xin laughed dryly and thought to himself: Have you told so many lies that you have already believed them? What the hell, Fan, when I first saw you in Chudi, you had no idea how down and out you were...
The two were talking when Jing Fu hurried over with a servant.
Li Shui frowned and said to Jing Fu: "If you have anything to do, just tell me. Why did you come in person?"
Jing Fu wiped the cold sweat from his head: "The matter is really important, I have to come."
In fact, the reason why Jing Fu came to see Li Shui in person was not entirely because the matter was important. But he discovered that Li Shui's position in Da Qin has become more and more stable recently. And the power of Da Qin seems to be difficult to shake.
In this case, why did you rebel when you were full? If you fail to rebel, your whole family will be exterminated. Isn't this a disease?
So Jing Fu changed his mind and wanted to get closer to Li Shui, so he went here twice when he had something to do, paid some ticket money, and gave some gifts to win Li Shui's favor. It would be even better if you can be on the list of close friends.
Li Shui asked Jing Fu: "What's the big news?"
Jing Fu glanced at Li Xin awkwardly.
Li Xin stared and said, "What? I can't listen?"
Seeing that Li Shui didn't speak, Jing Fu laughed dryly and said, "Yes, yes, there is no one in Xianyang city who doesn't know that the two of you are as close as brothers."
He whispered: "Recently, another cousin of mine came here again. His name is Jing Gai."
Li Shui looked at him in confusion: "That's it? Who cares about your seventh and eighth aunts? Just come."
Jing Sui said mysteriously: "Sir, I don't have such a cousin. This Jing Gai is actually Xiang Liang's younger brother, and his name is Xiang Chao."
As soon as Li Shui heard that Xiang Liang had sent someone again, he immediately became energetic. He asked Jing Fu: "How does this superpower make a person?"
Jing Fu said: "This man is extremely loyal to Xiang Liang, he misses Chu greatly, and he is extremely hostile to Qin."
Li Shui snorted: "It seems we are enemies rather than friends."
Jing Fu asked Li Shui: "How to deal with this person?"
Li Shui said calmly: "Be still and see what he does."
Jing Fu agreed.
Li Shui then ordered him: "Go back first. Don't come to Shang Jun's Courtyard all the time in the future, so as not to arouse suspicion."
Jing Fu agreed glumly.
Li Shui comforted him: "Don't worry, we will wait until the world is settled. We will reward you based on your merits, and you will not be left behind."
When Jing Fu heard this, he immediately became energetic and regained his vitality.
Li Xin said with emotion: "I never imagined that I could play with the rebels at the palm of my hand. Brother Huai, you have opened my eyes."
Li Shui chuckled: "What is this? There are more exciting things."
He called a craftsman over and said, "Go and send a message to Xiao Yi. Just say this..."
After hearing this, the craftsman was still a little confused. But the craftsmen don't need to understand, they just need to deliver the news.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yi found Ji Ming who was lying on the couch recovering from his injuries.
When Ji Ming saw Xiao Yi coming, the tears that he had been holding tightly in his eyes suddenly flowed down like a dam.
Ji Ming cried and said: "I am now a joke in the palace. Wujiao even brought people to see my excitement. In the entire palace, you are the only one who comes to visit me. In my heart, alas..."
Xiao Yi looked at Ji Ming with sympathy, and then said: "You can't give up on yourself, you have to save yourself, find a way to contact the foreign ministers, and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback."
Ji Ming said gloomily: "Who should I contact? Whoever makes friends with me will be unlucky. Unless they are those who comply with destiny."
Xiao Yi said: "Then you should make good friends with those who comply with Tianming."
Ji Ming shook his head: "It's useless. Now in Xianyang City, who doesn't know that I, Ji Ming, am a bad guy? No one is willing to be friends with me. Even His Majesty is a little too lazy to hit me. I feel that I have no It’s valuable.”
Xiao Yi said: "I have a candidate to recommend to you."
Ji Ming asked curiously: "Who is the candidate?"
Xiao Yi said: "Among the powerful people in Guandong, there is a new Jing Gai. This person is Jing Fu's younger brother, but he doesn't seem to be that close to Jing Fu."
"This man has many servants, a fortune of millions, and is very powerful. Moreover, he has just arrived in Xianyang City and has not heard about you yet. If you make good friends with him, you should be able to accomplish great things."
Ji Ming hesitated and said: "The powerful people in Guandong? His Majesty has recently opened the imperial examination. It is obvious that he wants to reuse the children of powerful people in Guandong. In this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that these people are complying with the destiny."
Ji Ming said this, but he was thinking in his heart: Haha, here comes another taken advantage of? Okay, I will make friends with him. I don’t care whether he dies or not. I will first get some money from him and return it to business. The debt of Junbieyuan is the most important.
After figuring this out, Ji Ming struggled to get up from the bed: "I'm going to meet this Jing Gai."
Xiao Yi held down Ji Ming and said, "No rush, no rush. Only when he wants to come and see you will you show that you have status."
Ji Ming said with a grimace: "He doesn't know me at all, how can he want to meet me? When he hears the rumors about me from others, it will be too late."
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I have arranged everything for you. When you leave the palace tomorrow, he will definitely pay homage to you."
Ji Ming was moved to tears: "You are really my best friend."

Xiang Chao's mansion. Jing Fu was talking to him.
Xiang Chao was very rich, especially after receiving the support from the Wang family, he spent money like water. Therefore, within an hour of entering Xianyang City, he bought a house at a very high price.
He came to Xianyang for three purposes. The first purpose is to persuade Xiang Bo to go back. The second purpose is to contact Wang and deliver the news. The third purpose is to inquire about the situation in Xianyang City, and if necessary, cooperate with Xiang Liang in the south to create chaos.
Now that Xiang Bo has gone to the Western Regions, the Wang family is not in a hurry to contact him, so Xiang Chao asked Jing Fu: "Are there any patriots in Xianyang City who are dissatisfied with the imperial court?"
Jing Fu coughed dryly and followed Li Shui's instructions: "There is a Ji Ming who seems to be a suitable candidate. This person is also a eunuch in the palace, so his status is very noble."
Xiang Chao was overjoyed. However, he still asked cautiously: "How talented is this person? Is he one ten thousandth as good as my Yu'er?"
Jing Fu rolled his eyes, feeling that Xiang Chao was really annoying. From the first moment he met him, he would show off his son every chance he got.
Jing Fu said with a hint of ridicule: "How can Ji Ming compare to one ten thousandth of Mr. Yu? It's only one ten thousandth, but there are still some."
After hearing this, Xiang Chao nodded with satisfaction: "Although my Yu'er is only fourteen years old, he is extremely brave and resourceful. This Ji Ming can be considered one hundred thousandth as smart as him." A wise man."
Jing Fu was a little speechless: How can you die if you don’t brag?
Xiang Chao said: "I wonder when can I meet this Ji Ming?"
Jing Fu said: "He may leave the palace tomorrow. I'll find someone to ask for you."
Xiang Chao nodded: "Thank you very much. Alas, when I, Yu'er, grow a few years older, why will I need these annoying strategies? As long as Yu'er brings three thousand troops, I can conquer Guanzhong."
Jing Fu almost vomited out his overnight meal and said with a dry smile: "Yes, yes."
Then he quickly said goodbye and left.
Xiang Chao sent Jing Fu to the door of his house, looked at his leaving figure, and thought to himself: It seems that Xianyang City is not as dangerous as his brother said. However, maybe it’s because I’m too shrewd that I don’t think it’s a big deal. After all, Yu'er's intelligence and intelligence were all learned from me, haha...
