After many days, Jufu met Li Shui again. I couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
At first, Jufu worked hard as a county guard, but he was forced to join the rebels by Xiang Liang's coercion and inducement.
From that moment on, Jufu knew that his life was doomed. Surrender to the rebels and you will never recover.
It was the banished immortal who gave him a second life. Not only did he give himself a second life, but he also gave himself a second chance to make contributions.
Because he is guilty, it is impossible for him to become an official. It was the banished immortal who made himself a follower of Master Fu Yao through some operations.
Although he is said to be a follower, there is no event of any size in Beidi County that he has not participated in?
Sometimes, Jufu often falls into a trance, as if he has become the county governor again and has received His Majesty's approval.
Beidi County is prosperous, with more and more registered residents and people getting richer and richer.
The giant man gradually fell in love with this place.
Here, Master Fu Yao often put forward all kinds of fantastic ideas, and Wang Laoshi put forward all kinds of interesting ideas with the perspective of a merchant. Then go through your own checks and put it into practice.
The three of them worked closely together.
Beidi County, which was originally desolate and poor, has undergone earth-shaking changes within a year.
Jufu looked at the growing Beidi County as if he were seeing his own child.
And all of this was given by the banished immortal.
Therefore, the giant man walked up to Li Shui with a grateful face and bowed deeply.
He bent down and couldn't help but burst into tears.
In the end, Li Shui kicked him: "I'm so disgusted, goosebumps are falling all over the floor."
The giant man quickly wiped his tears and said with a dry smile: "Little man, your gratitude to the banished immortal is like a river overflowing, and it can't be lost..."
Li Shui: "..."
Ying Zheng and the courtiers had left, and Li Shui, Ju Fu, Wang Laoshi and others started feasting again.
Li Xin had long been impatient and ordered the waiter: "Serve wine, serve wine, what's the point of drinking tea."
The waiter brought in some ambrosia with a look of helplessness.
Everyone chatted while drinking, and by the evening, they had almost finished drinking.
Li Shui patted Fu Yao on the shoulder and said with a loud tongue: "We should go, otherwise, the curfew after dark will violate your laws and have a bad impact."
Fu Yao staggered, he was almost unable to stand due to Li Shui's pressure.
Fu Yao laughed dryly and said to Li Shui: "There is no curfew in Yiqu City."
Li Shui was stunned for a moment: "Isn't there a curfew?"
Fu Yao said: "No. The hometown protection team in Yiqu City is idle and can patrol at night. And there is no curfew, so people can do business at night."
Li Shui nodded: "What you said makes sense. Let's go around and teach you some interesting things."
Fu Yao supported Li Shui, Wang Laoshi supported Li Xin, and the four of them staggered outside.
The giant man was also a little dizzy after drinking, but unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.
So... Jufu fell behind.
When he walked out of the teahouse, he found that Li Shui and Li Xin had gone away.
He wanted to catch up, but suddenly a hand stretched out from the alley next to him, grabbed the giant man's arm, and dragged him into the alley.
The giant man was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and woke up immediately from the wine.
He said bluffingly: "I am the person next to Mr. Fu Yao, who dares to be rude?"
An old voice in the darkness chuckled: "Jufu, you have such great authority."
The giant man was stunned when he heard this voice.
This voice... sounds a bit familiar.
Suddenly, Jufu remembered, wasn't this Chun Yuyue's voice?
He tentatively said, "Is it Dr. Chunyu?"
Someone in the darkness made a faint sound.
The giant man laughed dryly and said a little uneasily: "Why are you waiting in this dark alley, doctor? Everyone in the world knows that doctors are aboveboard, why are you doing so today..."
Chunyu Yue was a little unhappy, and he said calmly: "Jufu, I won't waste any time talking to you. I just want to ask you, why didn't you do what I asked you to do? Do you think you can play tricks on me?"
Back then, Chunyu Yue had given Jufu a large sum of gold and silver to cause chaos in Beidi County.
As a result, Beidi County prospered and received praise from His Majesty.
Chunyu Yue was very angry and felt that he had been tricked by the giant man.
Who is Chunyu Yue? He was an important minister in the court. Even if Jufu was still a county guard, Chunyu Yue would not take him seriously. What's more, now Jufu is just a follower without an official position?
Therefore, today Chunyu Yue came to investigate and punish the giant man.
When Jufu heard Chun Yuyue's question, he immediately laughed dryly and said to Chun Yuyue: "Doctor, you are really unjust."
Jufu had long expected that Chun Yuyue would come to raise troops to question him, so he had already thought of a strategy to deal with it.
Chunyu Yue said calmly: "How come I have wronged you? You should come and listen."
The giant man sighed: "The doctor told me at the beginning that I was going to mess up Beidi County, right?"
Chunyu Yue did not answer, but said to Chunyu Jia next to him: "Go and search."
Chunyu Jia responded and began to search the giant man's body.
The giant man was a little confused: What does this mean?
Suddenly, he realized that Chunyu Yue was worried that he was hiding the gramophone.
The giant man couldn't help but sigh: Dr. Chunyu, he is quite old, but his thinking is not rigid at all. How can he still have such vigilance?
The giant man smiled bitterly and said to Chunyu Yue: "Doctor, the gramophone is bulky and inconvenient to operate. If I really want to record, I will not be able to hide it."
At this time, Chunyu Jiaye completed the body search and said to Chunyu Yue: "Master, there is nothing suspicious on him."
Chunyu Yue gave a faint hum, and then asked Ju Fu: "How do you think you did what I told you?"
The giant man said with an aggrieved look: "Doctor, I have worked hard. The reason why I didn't mess up Beidi County is not because I didn't do anything, but because I couldn't."
"I've tried my best to mess up Beidi County, but Beidi County has never been in chaos. What can I do?"
Chunyu Yue was a little unhappy: "That's nonsense. How difficult is it to govern the world? Others are cautious, but they can make mistakes and cause trouble."
"You deliberately messed up Beidi County, but Beidi County couldn't be messed up? What's the point?"
The giant man sighed: "Doctor, after I went to Beidi County, I never forgot the doctor's instructions."
"I have been thinking about it all day and night, and I feel that if I want to mess up Beidi County without being discovered by Mr. Fu Yao, the best way is to let it go, or even add fuel to the flames."
"Master Fu Yao and Wang Laoshi are practicing business in Beidi County. If I let them do this, wouldn't Beidi County be in chaos?"
Chunyu Yue nodded: "That makes sense. Is this what you did?"
The giant man slapped his thigh and said, "That's what I do. If you don't believe me, Doctor, you can just ask someone, have you always supported them in their business practice?"
"I have worked very hard and worked tirelessly to create chaos in Beidi County. But instead of being in chaos, Beidi County has become more and more prosperous. I am also confused and very distressed."
Chunyu Yue: "..."
He fell into deep thought.
If what Jufu said was true, that would be really strange.
The giant man suddenly sighed and said in great pain: "Sometimes in the dead of night, when everything is silent, the villain will often fall into painful thinking: Why did Beidi County become so successful by practicing businessmanship? Is it possible that Beidi County became so successful? Are all our past experiences wrong?”
Chunyu Yue also fell into confusion.
However, Chunyu Yue was a great Confucian at that time, so he naturally had his own set of logic.
He won't be convinced so easily.
Chunyu Yue shook his head slowly and said, "No, it's still wrong. In my opinion, Beidi County's success must be superficial."
"Without the support of Confucianism, all prosperity is like a pavilion with a weak foundation. It will collapse when a storm comes. Given time, Beidi County will definitely be in chaos."
The giant man immediately acted as if he had suddenly realized something: "That's it. It makes sense. I finally understand."
"So, I actually succeeded? I succeeded in messing up Beidi County, but I just didn't show it?"
Chunyu Yue was slightly startled.
If the giant husband said this, there seems to be no problem. But... I always feel like something is wrong.
The giant man bowed his hands to Chunyu Yue and said with a dry smile: "Doctor, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
Chunyu Yue hummed lightly.
When the giant man walked away, Chunyu Yue suddenly realized: That's not right. I asked him to mess up Beidi County just to disappoint His Majesty. Now he has indeed messed up Beidi County, but he has not let His Majesty see it. What is the use of that?
Chunyu Yue sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness.
…………
In Yiqu City, not only Chunyu hated the giant man more and more, Hu Hai also hated him to the point of itching his teeth.
At first, Ji Ming took a large amount of gold and silver from him and claimed to have given it to Jufu. The results of it?
Hu Hai wanted to chop the giant man into pieces.
However, Hu Hai still has sense, and he knows that his current situation is very delicate.
This time, I was not favored by His Majesty, and His Majesty even criticized his way of governance.
Therefore, be sure not to make too big a move to avoid arousing His Majesty's resentment.
Therefore, Hu Hai decided to seek stability and not provoke the giant man.
What if he reprimanded Ju Fu on the front foot, and Ju Fu on the back foot snitched on Huai Guzi, that would be terrible.
However, sitting still and waiting for death is not Hu Hai's style.
After thinking for a while, he ordered someone to call Feng Renji.
In Hu Hai's view, Feng Renji was a lonely and unlucky guy who was not loved by his grandma and unloved by his uncle in the court.
Such people are safer.
Feng Renji came with a sad face.
During this period of time, he has been keeping a low profile and hopes that everyone will forget about him.
Therefore, he usually doesn't say a word. Unless necessary, he hides in the room and does not show his face, trying to be a transparent person.
Why...why was Mr. Hu Hai still discovered?
Feng Renji had a hunch that something bad might happen again.
After Feng Renji arrived, Hu Hai smiled slightly at him and said, "Sir, please sit down."
Feng Renji sat down in fear.
Hu Hai said calmly: "Sir, do you know that I have been in charge of Shangjun for nearly a year, and what is the biggest gain?"
Feng Renji bowed and said, "Did you...learn the experience of running a country?"
Hu Hai smiled and shook his head: "No."
Feng Renji racked his brains and thought: "Did...see the local customs?"
Hu Hai still shook his head.
Feng Renji added: "Did you...discover Xiangrui?"
Hu Hai laughed and said, "No."
Feng Renji asked cautiously: "Could it be... that he obtained some money?"
Hu Hai seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Do you think Mr. Hu Hai is a corrupt official?"
Feng Renji shook his head repeatedly: "I made a slip of the tongue, sir. Please forgive me."
Hu Hai said calmly: "My greatest achievement is that I met some talented people."
"In the past, when I lived in a deep palace, I had no one around me to help me. When I started doing things, I was restrained. This time, there are some smart and capable people in Shangjun who have taken refuge with me. They are as loyal as a sharp blade. It makes me feel very at ease."
Hu Hai pointed to the few servants serving beside him and said with a smile: "They are actually my dead soldiers."
"If I asked them to take my husband's head, they would do it without any hesitation, regardless of the reason."
Feng Renji trembled with fright, and said with sweat on his head: "Young Master, this official... I have not offended you."
Hu Hai laughed: "It's just a joke. Why should you be nervous, sir? Hu Hai respects you very much."
Feng Renji kept saying he didn't dare.
After Hu Hai showed his strength, he changed his tone and said to Feng Renji with great concern: "Sir, you are quite famous in the court. Although Hu Hai is far away in Shangjun, he has heard of your name."
"The gentleman impeached Huaiguzi, Li Si, and Chunyu Yue in one fell swoop... He is truly a fierce man."
Feng Renji smiled bitterly. He was a little confused whether Hu Hai was mocking him.
Hu Hai added: "Sir, Hu Hai is the most awe-inspiring warrior who is not afraid of power and is devoted to the country. However...Sir, you must also be careful. There are some treacherous villains who will hold grudges and seek trouble for you."
Feng Renji bowed and said, "Yes, yes... I have written it down."
Hu Hai sighed: "Write it down, what's the use? Your impeachment has offended powerful people in the court. I heard that your relative, the imperial censor Feng Quili, publicly declared that he has no relationship with you. Sharing the same fate? From now on, you will no longer have a backer."
"Who will stand up for you if some shameless courtiers try to deal with you?"
Feng Renji was trembling and couldn't answer.
Hu Hai smiled and said, "If you don't mind, sir, how about joining my family?"
Feng Renji was stunned: Mr. Hu Hai, are you trying to recruit me?
Hu Hai said calmly: "What? Sir, you don't want to?"
Feng Renji noticed that all of Hu Hai's dead soldiers had their hands on the hilts of their swords, as if they were planning to strike at any time.
Feng Renji immediately said sincerely that he would not suffer the immediate loss, "Yes, I am willing."
Hu Hai nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, then we are our own."
Feng Renji smiled dryly and said, "Yes, yes."
When he said this, he was also thinking about the pros and cons.
In fact, being recruited by Mr. Hu Hai is not necessarily a bad thing. It's always right to have a young master to back you up.
As a result, just when he thought of this, he heard Hu Hai say: "Since you are one of our own, then I have to speak directly. I need you to help me impeach someone."
Feng Renji suddenly felt cold all over: Here we go again.
He asked tremblingly: "Who is it?"
Hu Hai smiled and said very kindly: "Fu Yao."
