Wu Chi swallowed his anger, asked his family to bring him 900,000 yuan, and then handed it over to Li Xin.
Li Xin asked Li Jia to count it, and found that it was a lot of money, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Wu Chi cursed in his heart: Who do you think I am? Will it cost you money?
After collecting the money, Li Xin became even more polite. He held Wu Chi's hand and said sincerely: "Brother Wu, please feel free to go back and wait for the good news."
Wu Chi was too lazy to talk nonsense anymore and turned around and left.
When he was about to walk out of the gate, he saw Wu Jia calling another courtier's name.
Obviously, I don’t know how much I’m going to earn today.
After Wu Chi returned home, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.
He didn't know whether it was because he was wronged that he lost money or because he lost his reputation.
He couldn't help but open a jar of wine and wanted to get himself drunk. After he was drunk, he would not know anything and would not worry anymore.
However, just as he poured himself a glass, butler Wu Jia hurried in.
He ran so fast that he had no time to stop and fell directly in front of Wu Chi's wine table.
The low table was knocked down in an instant, and the whole jar of wine spilled on the ground.
Wu Chi looked at the wine dripping on the ground and stamped his feet angrily: "This is fairy wine. Do you know how much it costs? I will beat you to death today..."
The unhappiness of the past few days completely broke out in Wu Jia's place.
Wu Jia was so frightened that he fell to the ground and was trembling.
While trembling, he said: "Master, it's... Mr. Fu Yao is here, so I am anxious to report the news."
Wu Chi snorted coldly: "No one can save you. Once the guests are sent away, I will punish you again."
Wu Jia looked desperate.
Wu Chi hurriedly walked towards the gate. After walking a few steps, he suddenly came to his senses: "Who is here? Mr. Fu Yao? I haven't gone to him yet, but he came to me first?"
"Young Master, for no reason, put me in the newspaper and made me look ugly, and now you come to visit me in person? Are you here to demonstrate? Have I offended Master Fu Yao recently? No..."
Suddenly, Wu Chi remembered something. He once followed others in making noises, advocating that the banished immortal and Li Xin were defeated. It was precisely because of this that I had to go to Li Xin to receive a slap.
Could it be that...from that time on, Mr. Fu Yao hated himself, so he used the newspaper to give himself some color?
The more Wu Chi thought about it, the more this happened, and he couldn't help but feel a little desperate. He wanted to slap himself twice.
He is really greedy. He has already become a courtier and has no worries about food and clothing, so what rights do he still want to covet? He also wants to jump up and cause trouble.
The Exalted Immortal is a god who has repeatedly created miracles. How can you apply common sense to the Exiled Immortal?
Others can't defeat the enemy's army of millions with tens of thousands of people, but banishing an immortal may not be impossible.
Wu Chi secretly thought: From now on, if someone says that the banished immortal single-handedly wiped out tens of millions of people, then you have to believe it, and you have to believe it.
But...does he still have a chance to believe it? I have offended Mr. Fu Yao, what will I do next?
When Wu Chi first appeared in the newspaper, he was actually aggrieved and always wanted to argue with Fu Yao. But after I figured out the reason, I felt more and more that I deserved it.
After he calmed down like this, he started to get scared. Worried about Fu Yao's next revenge.
Otherwise... should I admit my mistake?
Wu Chi was thinking wildly as he walked.
"Master Wu, Master Wu, stay, stay..." A weak and miserable voice came from the side.
Wu Chi was startled, turned around and saw a bloody man kneeling on the ground.
The bloody man was naked from the waist up, and there was a bundle of thorn sticks beside him. Master Fu Yao was standing next to this man, beating him with the thorn sticks.
The man was beaten until his flesh and blood were bloody.
Wu Chi was so frightened that his heart was pounding, and he stammered: "Master, Master, this is..."
Fu Yao said bitterly: "A few days ago, I had something to do, and I didn't have time to read the newspaper. This person took it upon himself to make some slanderous remarks."
"When I heard about it, I was furious and beat him severely. I asked him to come and apologize."
As Fu Yao spoke, he beat him twice with a thorn stick.
Wu Chi was stunned and stammered: "Those articles in the newspaper were not the Young Master's idea?"
Fu Yao said: "Of course not. However, this newspaper belongs to me after all. Although I didn't know it, I still have responsibility. Therefore, I am here to apologize today."
Afterwards, Fu Yao saluted Wu Chi: "Master Wu, you have suffered."
Wu Chi suddenly burst into tears with excitement: This is the young master, your Majesty's prince, and he is actually saluting him? Oh My God……
Wu Chi returned the favor repeatedly and kept wiping his tears.
Fu Yao handed the vitex stick to Wu Chi: "Here, you can also give it a few blows."
Wu Chi repeatedly said he did not dare.
So Fu Yao took Wu Chi's place and hit the man on the ground twice.
Wu Chi said to Fu Yao with emotion: "In the past, I slandered the Immortal and General Li. I didn't expect that the young master would ignore the past and come to explain to me in person. I am... really ashamed."
Fu Yao said with a serious face: "Master Wu, when you impeached my master and General Li, you were loyal to the country. You knew that my master was eloquent and impeaching him would be very risky. But you did it for me Da Qin, for the sake of the people of the world, still did this without hesitation. Fu Yao, I admire you very much."
These words made Wu Chi feel warm in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly had an illusion: Back then... was my purpose so noble?
Wu Chi suddenly became proud.
Fu Yao said: "Although Sir Wu received a slap in the face, in my opinion, this is not a shame, this is an honor. It is the honor of being loyal to the country and being fearless. Even if you lose face, you must ask for your life for the people. No matter how many thousand I am leaving, how tragic and decisive is it?"
Wu Chi's blood boiled with excitement.
He originally wanted to deny being slapped. After all, it was very embarrassing, and Li Xin had promised himself to help refute the rumors.
But after listening to what Fu Yao said, he suddenly felt that being beaten was also very honorable. What's more, Fu Yao and Li Xin have a close relationship, so this matter probably can't be hidden from him. Therefore Wu Chi did not deny it.
Fu Yao said to Wu Chi: "Master Wu, in order to express my apology, I would like to give you a gift."
Wu Chi waited nervously.
Fu Yao smiled slightly: "Master Wu should know that I am Beiming Youyu, right?"
Wu Chi nodded repeatedly.
When the Immortal Literature Award was presented, Wu Chi was also present in person, so he knew it very well.
Fu Yaoshen said mysteriously: "I plan to publish a comic book based on the deeds of you adults. It will tell the story of how you were fearless, spoke uprightly, and were slapped in the end."
Wu Chi was so excited that he almost fainted.
Fu Yao is the winner of the Exalted Immortal Literature Award. His comic books are super best-sellers.
How many people in the world have read the last book "Journey to the North"? Even those who have not read it have heard it from others. The various stories in Journey to the North are known to all women and children.
The characters in Journey to the North have become heroes in the hearts of the people.
Needless to say, as the protagonist, Prince Fu Yao, even the supporting characters Wang Laoshi and Ju Fu are deeply popular among the people.
If only this time...if only this time I became the protagonist of a comic strip. Wouldn't it be... Oh my god, just with this reputation alone, I don't have to worry about my future, right?
Thinking of this, Wu Chi saluted and thanked Fu Yao repeatedly.
Fu Yao patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Then, let's make an agreement."
Wu Chi said: "It's agreed, it's agreed."
Fu Yao said uneasily: "However, if I have worked so hard to draw this comic strip and you actually think it is a shame to be slapped and refuse to let me publish it, then my efforts will be in vain. "
Wu Chi shook his head vigorously: "Absolutely not."
He said sincerely: "Young master, don't worry. How can a subordinate regret the honor of being slapped?"
Fu Yao said with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, I'll leave first. Sir, take good care of your injuries."
Wu Chi sent Fu Yao to the door and watched them get in the car before returning.
Fu Yao took the one who was beaten into the car, and then he asked the man: "How is it?"
The man smiled: "The little man has rough skin and thick flesh. He doesn't feel any pain. It's just that the pig blood on his body is a bit dirty."
Fu Yao grabbed him a handful of money and said, "Be patient for a while, there are still more than ten courtiers who want to visit."
The man responded: "Yes."
Wu Chi closed the door. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He planned to drink by himself and have a few drinks.
As a result, as soon as he walked to the wine table, he saw Wu Jia kneeling there.
When Wu Jia saw Wu Chi coming back, he said fearfully: "Sir, please spare me this time."
Wu Chi said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a jar of wine, what's the big deal? Just go get another jar."
Wu Jia was overjoyed, nodded repeatedly, and trotted off to get the wine.
As soon as Wu Jia left, the servant at the gate came to announce that Li Jia, a servant of General Li Xin's family, was here.
Wu Chi greeted him.
Li Jia handed over a piece of paper and said with a smile: "This is my master's rumor refuting book. Mr. Wu, please read it."
Wu Chi was stunned: "So fast?"
Li Jia said: "My master is worried about Mr. Wu's reputation being damaged. He didn't even bother to eat today, so he hurriedly wrote this refutation of the rumor. It will be handed over to the printing house tonight, and the rumor will be refuted in the newspaper tomorrow." .”
Wu Chi took a look at it, and found that the rumor he wrote was sincere and sincere. Li Xin even swore on it that if he told any lies, he would be punished by heaven and earth.
But judging from this rumor-refuting book, Wu Chi's one million dollars was well spent. People can't help but believe it when the rumors are refuted like this.
But the key point is... I will soon be the protagonist of the comic strip.
Moreover, it was a comic strip drawn by Mr. Fu Yao himself.
Comparing the two, of course the comic strip is more important. And as soon as the comic strip came out, he became a hero for the country and the people. So is there any use in refuting the rumors?
Refuting rumors is not only useless, but it will kill your chance to be a hero.
Furthermore, I have already promised Master Fu Yao. Now I tell him, don’t you stop painting? Isn't that just playing with the young master? Will there be any good fruit to eat in the future?
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Chi said to Li Jia: "Thank you so much, General Li. This refutation of rumors is very touching. I am really grateful. But..."
Li Jia had a strange expression on his face: "But?"
Wu Chi said bravely: "But there is no need to help me refute the rumors."
Li Jia: "No need to refute the rumors?"
Wu Chi nodded.
Li Jia suddenly became angry and almost jumped up: "Master Wu, are you making fun of my master? My master hasn't even eaten, and he writes a rumor refuting like this. What else do you want?"
Li Jia was just a servant, and he dared to talk to Wu Chi like this. At any other time, Wu Chi would have called him.
But not today. Wu Chi felt a little guilty today.
He said apologetically: "I feel sorry for General Li. But... didn't I also spend money? At worst, the money will not be refunded."
Li Jia was furious: "Master Wu, what do you think of my general? As one of those down-and-out literati who can help write things if they have money?"
"You still want to refund the money? This is an insult to my family. A scholar can be killed, not humiliated. I can't say what my family will do after knowing it."
Wu Chi said nervously: "I...I just suddenly don't want the general to refute the rumors. I feel like being slapped is not particularly embarrassing."
Li Jia sneered: "Isn't it particularly embarrassing? A few hours ago, didn't you go to my master to ask questions?"
Wu Chi said helplessly: "Then what do you think it should be?"
Li Jia said: "My master has already written the rumor refuting book. Since it has been written, it must be distributed."
Then, Li Jia turned around and left.
Wu Chi stopped him bitterly: "Brother Li, Brother Li, we have something to talk about, and we can discuss it later."
Li Jia sighed: "For now, there is only one way."
Wu Chi said: "Please say, please say."
Li Jia said: "You must apologize to General Li."
Wu Chi nodded repeatedly: "I must apologize."
Li Jia said: "The most important thing is to make amends, and then to apologize. You say you deserve death, but you are sarcastic in your heart. Isn't this kind of thing rare? It's still real money."
When it came to this point, Wu Chi finally understood.
He asked cautiously: "Then...how much is appropriate?"
Li Jia said quietly: "One million."
Wu Chi's scalp was numb: "Is it... too many?"
Li Jia turned around and left.
Wu Chi said with a grimace: "Okay, one million is one million. Come on, get the money."
Li Jia took one million and left with a smile.
Wu Chi felt a chill in his heart. In one day, he had gone out with two million.
Alas, if I had known earlier, I would not have gone to see General Li in the morning.
Wu Chi's intestines were filled with regret.
Suddenly, Wu Jia came excitedly with a wine jar in his arms: "Master, I have brought the wine for you."
Wu Chi suddenly glared: "Did you knock over my jar of wine before?"
Wu Jia: "Huh?"
Wu Chi shouted: "Come here, get the whip. I must teach this unruly idiot a lesson."
