Brother, let’s do this, okay? Isn't it a bit dangerous? "Lu Wan was a little worried.
"Don't worry, it's foolproof." Liu Ji said confidently.
Fan Kuai said next to him: "I heard that the banished immortal is getting married. Wouldn't it be bad if we chose this time to cause trouble?"
Liu Ji chuckled: "What a bunch of idiots. It's just because he's getting married that we went to cause trouble."
The little brothers around him all looked confused.
Liu Ji asked Fan Kuai: "If you are walking on the road and someone suddenly stops you and asks you to pay 100 yuan to pass, what would you do?"
Fan Kuai thought for a moment and said, "Of course I'll beat him up."
Liu Ji laughed and said, "What if someone asked you to pay money on your wedding day?"
Fan Kuai stared: "Is there any difference?"
Liu Ji: "..."
He glanced at Fan Kuai a little helplessly: This kid's brain is not normal like other people's. It's useless to ask him.
He turned to look at Lu Wan: "If you go to marry the bride when you are getting married, and you are about to miss the time, and someone blocks your way, what will you do?"
Lu Wan said: "The wedding day is a happy day, so of course peace is the most important thing. If the wedding is messed up for this one hundred dollars, it will be more than worth the gain."
Liu Ji looked at the others: "What about you?"
These people all said, "That's what we thought too."
Liu Ji chuckled and said to these people: "That's right, we ordinary people still need to save face. With such a high status as being banished to an immortal, don't we need to save face even more?"
"This time we are going to make a big fuss when he gets married. Can't he comfort us properly?"
Liu Ji took out a few photos from his pocket and said quietly: "It cost a lot of money to take these photos. This time I must make a fortune."
This photo is of Liu Ji’s farmland.
After buying fertilizer from Yong Chi, Liu Ji stopped farming and waited for others to harvest before he sought compensation.
Fertilizer stations are now set up across the country, selling fertilizers and providing compensation.
After some investigation, they found that his fertilizer was sold by Yong Chi, so they found Yong Chi and checked the records.
It was found that there was no problem with Yong Chi's process. When he first sold chemical fertilizers, he also tested the soil samples in Liu Ji's fields and found that his farmland was suitable for chemical fertilizers.
But Liu Ji's field couldn't grow anything, probably because of other reasons.
To be rigorous, the people at the fertilizer station even spent several months growing some vegetables inside.
The results show that these vegetables grow well. Therefore, the fertilizer station refused to compensate.
After Yong Chi received the decision from the fertilizer station, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Liu Ji is quite influential in Peixian County. If he really wins, it will be difficult to sell fertilizers in the future and his reputation will be ruined.
What's more, if compensation is really needed, Yong Chi can be regarded as the responsible person. He has to bear part of the responsibility and spend some money.
Now it's fine, I won the verdict, and I can let go of my worries.
After Liu Ji got the results, he was furious. He led a group of people and shouted all day long that the fertilizer was not good and demanded compensation from the fertilizer station. As a result, the fertilizer station ignored this at all.
The fertilizer station only has a few rooms and a few workers, but above it is the Shangjun Villa. I am so confident that I am not afraid of anything.
Liu Ji threatened to sue the county again, but the people at the fertilizer station looked nonchalant.
Liu Ji angrily went to the county magistrate, but the county magistrate tactfully said that he could not afford to offend Shangjun Courtyard, so this compensation would be a big deal. It would be a trivial matter and should not be mentioned again.
Liu Ji almost died of anger.
You rented so much land, did nothing to cultivate it, and still haven’t received any money in the end? Isn’t this such a loss?
Finally, he thought about it, hired a photographer at a high price, took these photos, and wanted to come to Xianyang City to seek compensation.
The fertilizer station won’t pay compensation, right? Then come directly to Shangjun Courtyard.
I heard that the banished immortal is getting married, so I will take advantage of this opportunity to make a big fuss, open my mouth wide, and kill a lot of money.
So, Liu Ji took a group of little brothers to Xianyang.
Now they are outside Xianyang City, planning their next move.
Liu Ji thought for a while, pointed to the city gate and said, "Let's go first into the city."
Fan Kuai said in confusion: "Shang Jun's courtyard is outside the city. What are we doing in the city?"
Liu Ji sneered: "Idiot, just a few of us dare to go to Shangjun Courtyard to ask for money? They killed us directly. Who knows?"
Everyone else shrank when he said this.
Liu Ji pointed at Xianyang City and said, "You have to go inside, find some senior officials, and use them to put pressure on Huaiguzi."
Lu Wan said worriedly: "However, since ancient times, officials have protected each other. Can we find such a person?"
Liu Ji laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I have already found out clearly. I, Liu Ji, can be regarded as the number one person in Peixian County. My father-in-law Lu Gong is a good friend of the county magistrate, and I can speak well in front of the county magistrate." Words."
"I heard from the county magistrate that although the banished immortal is a very good person in the eyes of the people, the powerful people in Xianyang City don't think highly of him."
"This Huaiguzi is in Xianyang City. There are enemies almost everywhere. Let's see whose house is bigger, so we can directly report the name to enter. It's very simple."
The little brothers around nodded and followed Liu Ji in.
After Liu Ji entered the city, he looked around a little, chose a high-ranking household, and then said to the gatekeeper: "Excuse me, please let me know. We would like to ask to see the Lord in the mansion."
The gatekeeper asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"
Liu Ji said politely: "We are from Peixian County and want to sue to banish the immortal."
The gatekeeper trembled with fright, and even suspected that he had heard wrongly.
After confirming again and again, he went to inform his master in a panic. He didn't dare to hide such a big thing.
Li Si was settling accounts in his room. Recently, Shangjun Villa came to collect debts from time to time. Over time, Li Si fell in love with settling accounts.
Suddenly, the housekeeper of the mansion ran in and said to Li Si breathlessly: "Sir, it's not good."
Li Si was furious when he heard this and asked unhappily: "What's wrong?"
The steward said: "Just now, the gatekeeper said that there are several Guizhou leaders outside who claim to sue the banished immortal. They are weak and are worried that they will not be able to sue the banished immortal, so they want to ask the master for help."
Li Si stood up and said, "Call me out."
The housekeeper was startled, responded quickly, turned around and ran away.
Li Si was still angry: Are you still coming? How many times has this happened? Every time I am filled with joy, thinking that I can bring down the Immortal, but it turns out that every time it is bullshit! The old man who has been harmed has to live a careful life.
He waved his sleeves and swept everything on the desks to the floor.
Li Si breathed angrily for a while, then reached out to pick up the account book, sighed, and continued to calculate the accounts.
Liu Ji and others were waiting outside.
Liu Ji was sharing his non-existent experience with several little brothers: "Remember, after entering, you must be respectful. Don't just keep staring at other people's maids because they are beautiful. These maids, and The adults in the mansion are all...do you understand, right?"
These little brothers all nodded.
At this time, the gatekeeper who had just gone to report came out. Not only did he come out, but there were also some rough and tumble people behind him.
Liu Ji immediately went up to greet them and said with an apologetic smile on his face: "Why did the adults bring so many people to greet them? I'm really scared."
The janitor punched Liu Ji in the nose.
A servant next to him kicked Liu Ji hard.
While beating Liu Ji and his group, these servants yelled: "Gungun, who gave you the courage to harm my master? If you dare to come again, you will be killed."
Liu Ji and others ran away with their heads in their hands.
They fled to another street and sat in a corner looking at each other.
Lu Wan rubbed half of his swollen face and said to Liu Ji, "Brother, why does this powerful man hit us for no reason?"
Liu Ji said: "It seems that this person's official position is too small and he is afraid of Huaiguzi's power."
Lu Wan nodded and said: "In this case, we should choose some high-ranking officials, people who really dare to compete with Huaiguzi."
Liu Jin hummed, closed his eyes slightly and said, "I heard from the county magistrate that there are several important ministers in Xianyang City who hold high positions of power. Only they dare to compete with Huaiguzi."
Lu Wan asked: "Brother, can you remember their names?"
Liu Ji said: "I only remember one Li Xin. He was Huaiguzi's close friend."
The little brothers around were a little disappointed.
Liu Ji smiled: "It doesn't matter, let's ask around here and we can find out."
He walked up to a beggar and handed him a penny.
The beggar was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
Liu Ji said: "Let me ask you, who are the important ministers in Xianyang City?"
The beggar was on the street. In addition to begging for food, he also listened to gossip. He knew these things very well and immediately said: "If we talk about the important ministers in the court, there are seven in total."
"Prime Minister Wang Wan, court captain Li Si, Dr. Chunyu Yue, banished immortal Huai Guzi, general Li Xin, internal historian Zhao Teng, imperial censor Feng Quli."
Liu Ji said: "Who among them has a bad relationship with the banished immortal?"
The beggar said: "General Li Xin and Dr. Chunyu are both close friends of the Immortal. Lord Nei Shi seems to be the one who also excommunicated the Immortal."
"As for the imperial censor, he has no hostility towards the banished immortal. The only ones who have ever competed with the banished immortal are the prime minister and Lord Tingwei."
Liu Ji's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you know how the two families can get away?"
The beggar said: "Master Tingwei lives nearby. Have you seen that street? There is an alley over there, just walk there."
Liu Ji thanked him, turned around and left.
The beggar stopped him: "Are you going to sue the immortal?"
Liu Ji nodded and said, "Not bad." Then he left.
The beggar was stunned for a while, then suddenly ran away and reported to Daqin Daily.
As soon as he entered the newspaper office, he started shouting: "I heard that there are rewards for providing clues to anecdotes. Does that count?"
…………
Liu Ji and a group of little brothers had already walked into the alley.
There is indeed a door here, and there are two gatekeepers beside the door.
Lu Wan said in confusion: "Dignified Lord Tingwei, why is this door so small?"
Fan Kuai said: "It seems that this person must be an upright official."
Liu Ji chuckled: "This is just a back door. All the back doors of wealthy families are like this, what's so strange about it?"
The little brothers next to him complimented him: "Brother, you are indeed well-informed. You are worthy of being a big shot who talks and laughs with the county magistrate. I admire you."
Liu Ji laughed, and then said to the gatekeeper: "Can you please tell me that we want to see Mr. Tingwei."
The gatekeeper said casually: "Is something wrong?"
Liu Ji said: "We want to sue the banished immortal."
The gatekeeper's eyes widened immediately, and then he went in to report.
The housekeeper was drinking cold water. He had just finished handling the matters at the front door and was sweating all over. Suddenly, the servant guarding the back door came again and said breathlessly: "There are several people at the back door who claim to sue the immortal."
The housekeeper suddenly choked and kept coughing.
He hammered his heart: "What on earth is going on? Did the banishment offend someone again? How come one wave was driven away and another wave came?"
The gatekeeper asked, "What are we going to do with these people?"
The steward said: "Fight him out, beat him out hard."
The servant responded and geared up to find someone to prepare for a fight.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Ji and others were sitting on the roadside with their heads covered with melancholy.
How...why is Lord Tingwei's style exactly the same as that of the previous junior official?
Fan Kuai suddenly said cautiously: "Brother, could these two groups of people be the same group of people? We went to the front door first, and then went to the back door."
Lu Wan said: "Nonsense, we have walked down the same street, how can we be from the same house?"
Fan Kuai said: "What if Tingwei's mansion is particularly big?"
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then looked at it carefully, feeling even more bitter in his heart: Damn it, something didn't go well this time.
Liu Ji gritted his teeth: "Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Coincidentally, Wang Wan was also settling accounts in the mansion.
Since the failure of Hu Hai's matter, Wang Wan, in addition to dealing with political affairs, has also been settling accounts to see when he can pay off the debts owed to Shangjun Courtyard.
When he was in a state of despair, he heard that two Guizhou chiefs were suing to banish the immortal.
Without thinking, Wang Wan ordered his servants to beat him out.
What a joke. Two heads of Guizhou sued to banish an immortal? How far can you sue? Can you kill the banished immortal? That's definitely not possible. In that case, it's better not to get into trouble.
Carrying a lot of debt and irritating Huaiguzi again, if he really sends a group of people to demand the debt, he can't afford to lose this person.
Wang Wan sighed and continued to fiddle with the abacus.
Speaking of which, the abacus was also learned from Shangjun Academy. I don’t know if Huai Guzi is trying to earn more money by taking night classes. In addition to teaching the latest inventions, he also teaches abacus.
Other courtiers complained, feeling that Li Shui was cheating money. But after Wang Wan learned it, he found that this thing is quite effective, at least it is much more convenient when settling accounts.
In a corner two streets away from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Liu Ji and his group were sitting there with bruises and swollen faces.
Lu Wan said: "Brother, Xianyang City is too dangerous, otherwise let's go back."
Liu Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going back like this? That would be too embarrassing. I don't believe it. No one in Xianyang City dares to challenge the banished immortal."
He looked around, pointed to a mansion and said: "Let's go there. Let's not say it's a complaint. We'll just say it's related to Huaiguzi. Let's find out what they say first."
The little brothers agreed and followed Liu Jihao.
This time, the other party asked them carefully, asked their names and their hometowns, and then went to report them.
At that time, Xiang Chao was thinking about the future at home, thinking that his son Xiang Yu would lead the army to defeat the Qin Dynasty and become the ruler of the world. As Xiang Yu's father, he would have to be the emperor for a few days, right?
"It's just...why hasn't Yu'er mentioned the rebellion recently?" Xiang Chao was a little depressed.
Suddenly, a servant came over and said to Xiang Chao: "There is a group of people outside who call themselves Liu Ji and come from Peixian County. They want to meet the master and talk about the banishment of immortals."
Xiang Chao was stunned: Liu Ji from Peixian County? Isn't this Yu'er's pseudonym? Is it related to banishing immortals? Are you about to start a rebellion?
Xiang Chao suddenly became excited. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time, hahahaha.
He ran out excitedly: "Yu'er, my father is here."
