Liu Ji saw Xiang Chao rushing towards him, and felt his joy when he was still far away.
Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "This person is very enthusiastic. It seems that we can have a good talk next."
This time Liu Ji was more cautious. He planned not to directly talk about impeaching the immortal, but to explore the other party's tone first.
Let’s see if he and the Exiled Immortal are enemies or friends.
If they are friends, just make a haha and then withdraw.
If it is an enemy, then inquire again whether he has the courage.
If you don't have the guts, forget it. If you have the guts, tell me the rest.
Liu Ji thought about it carefully and felt that his plan was foolproof, so he smiled with satisfaction.
Can he still get beaten this time? Even though you are so cautious, if you still get beaten, that would be really evil.
Soon, Xiang Chao ran out happily.
He looked past Liu Ji's group and then looked around.
"That's strange, where is my Yu'er?" Xiang Chao muttered in his heart.
Liu Ji coughed dryly, stepped forward, and saluted respectfully: "My lord, the person who asks to see you is a villain."
Xiang Chao glanced at him: "I'm looking for Liu Ji."
Liu Ji said respectfully: "The villain is Liu Ji."
Xiang Chao glared: "I'm looking for Liu Ji from Peixian County."
Liu Ji smiled: "The villain is Liu Ji from Peixian County."
Xiang Chao: "..."
His voice was a little weird and he asked: "How many Liu Jis are there in Pei County? But they have the same name and the same surname?"
Liu Ji chuckled: "I am the only one in Pei County, Liu Ji. I am the Sishui Pavilion in Fengyi, Pei County."
When Xiang Chao heard this, his blood suddenly surged, and he thought: Doesn't my Yu'er also call himself Sishui Pavilion, Fengyi, Pei County?
Okay, okay, it seems like it was a lie, and it actually got to me.
For a moment, Xiang Chao felt not only anger, but also deep disappointment.
When he ran out, he was originally prepared to meet Xiang Yu and discuss the rebellion plan together. He even thought about the imperial edict to ascend the throne.
After the results came out, it was discovered that it was Liu Ji?
Then wouldn’t his throne be gone?
Xiang Chao looked at Liu Ji, and the more he looked at him, the angrier he became: "This man has robbed me of my throne and my world. He is really abominable."
Liu Ji didn't know that Xiang Chao had so many dramas in his heart, so he carefully probed: "Sir, I'm here to talk about the banishment of immortals..."
Liu Ji said while looking at Xiang Chao's face.
Xiang Chao turned to the housekeeper with a livid face and said, "Go and call all the men in the house."
Liu Ji looked at Xiang Chao in confusion: "Sir? What are you..."
Xiang Chao said nothing.
Liu Ji was a little confused and could only continue to test: "I dare to ask, sir and the banished immortal...are they good friends?"
Xiang Chao still said nothing.
Liu Ji was a little confused: What happened to the Xianyang people?
When he was in Peixian County, Liu Ji felt like a fish in water and could succeed in whatever he did. Why did he hit a wall everywhere when he arrived in Xianyang City? Is this place so evil?
Liu Ji cursed in his heart: I don't believe in fate.
He bit the bullet and said to Xiang Chao: "Is it possible that there is some quarrel between the master and the banished immortal?"
Xiang Chao still said nothing.
At this time, all the men in the mansion had run out.
Xiang Chao pointed at them and said calmly: "Hit them, hit me hard."
Liu Ji was going crazy: "Sir, why is this? I didn't say anything?"
Then, a punch hit his face and Liu Ji was knocked to the ground.
He struggled to get up, but someone stepped on his back again, making him unable to get up.
Before he fainted, he saw that Lu Wan and others had been knocked to the ground. There was only one Fan Kuai left, with rough skin and thick flesh, roaring repeatedly, and still struggling to hold on.
An hour later, Liu Ji woke up from his coma.
Fan Kuai was guarding beside him, and all the brothers around him were there, but most of them were in a coma, and even those who woke up looked bruised and swollen.
Fan Kuai's head was already big, but now it's swollen even more.
He said to Liu Ji: "Brother, this Xianyang City is too terrible. Otherwise, let's go back."
Liu Ji sighed: "Go back? Are you going back like this? Come all the way here, get bruised and swollen by others, and then go back? Don't you think it's embarrassing?"
Fan Kuai lowered his head and whispered: "But... we can't sue him."
Liu Ji looked at the sky in the distance: "If you can sue, you will definitely be able to sue. I don't believe it. There are things in the world that I can't do."
At this time, a beggar next to him asked curiously: "Who are you going to sue?"
Just as Fan Kuai was about to speak, Liu Ji stopped him. Then he said to the beggar: "I know the rules of your Xianyang City. If you ask about something, you have to give money, right?"
The beggar laughed and said, "You learn very quickly. Judging from your accent, you are from Chudi, right?"
The beggar took out a penny from his body and handed it to Liu Ji.
Liu Jishen said mysteriously: "We plan to sue to banish the immortal."
After saying this, Liu Ji stared at the beggar nervously. He was worried that the beggar would suddenly hit someone.
Liu Ji stared for a while, and he was relieved when he saw that the beggar had no such intention.
Then Liu Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I was really too careful. The other person was just a beggar. How could he dare to hit me?
The beggar said: "I'm curious, why do you want to sue the immortal?"
Liu Ji said: "Because I bought fertilizer from Shangjun Courtyard, but the crops didn't harvest. We agreed at the time that the insurance would compensate us, but we didn't get anything."
The beggar said: "This is not a big deal. However, after all, the banishment of immortals is of high power, so it is normal that some officials dare not accept the case."
"If you really want to sue the immortal, there is only one way."
Liu Ji asked curiously: "What can I do?"
The beggar coughed dryly: "This... is asking for money in our Xianyang City."
Liu Ji cursed in his heart, and then returned the penny to the beggar.
The beggar said to Liu Ji: "Everyone in Xianyang City reads newspapers. If you bring this matter to the newspaper office, everyone will know about it, and your request will definitely be met."
Liu Ji's eyes suddenly lit up.
Isn't this his purpose? Let the banished immortal throw someone away, and then meet his own requirements.
However, Liu Ji asked cautiously: "The banished immortal won't take revenge on me, right?"
The beggar chuckled: "This newspaper has already spread the news. I don't know how many people are concerned about your safety. To be honest, if something happens to you, the first person to be suspected will be the Immortal."
Liu Ji suddenly became excited.
What the beggar said makes sense.
Liu Ji humbly asked for advice: "I don't know how to get to this newspaper office?"
The beggar coughed: "According to our rules in Xianyang City..."
Liu Ji immediately took out a penny and said, "I understand the rules."
The beggar took the money with satisfaction and pointed to the side: "Go over there. Walk about three hundred steps and you will see a tall building. That is the newspaper office."
Liu Ji thanked him repeatedly, then woke up his fainted brother and hurried over there.
However, when he walked about 300 steps, he found that this place was full of bungalows. What high-rise buildings were there?
Fan Kuai said: "Brother, we won't be deceived, right?"
Liu Ji was irritable and cursed: "That's nonsense. What did the beggar lie to us for? What good does it do to him?"
Fan Kuai scratched his head: "That's true, but..."
Liu Ji waved his hand: "Don't think too much, let's find someone to ask."
After paying another penny, Liu Ji discovered that they had indeed been deceived by the beggar, and the newspaper office was in the opposite direction.
Fan Kuai was about to cry: "This Xianyang City is too terrible."
Lu Wan said thoughtfully: "But it's really strange. What did this beggar lie to us for? What good can it do to him?"
…………
Daqin Daily, the beggar who had just deceived Liu Ji and his group ran in panting.
He shouted loudly: "You said before that there will be rewards for those who provide clues, does this still count?"
Everyone in the newspaper office was a little puzzled: "Another one is here? Who is the person who provided clues about this matter today? There have been beggars here before, and servants from Tingwei's family have come here, and now there is another one?"
The beggar said eagerly: "Will you give me money or not?"
He had to be anxious. It was estimated that Liu Ji and his group would come over in a while. In that case, he would not be able to get the clue fee.
The clerk asked: "Do you have this clue that someone wants to sue the Immortal?"
When the beggar heard this, his heart suddenly became cold: It's over, someone got there first.
Clues are the most expensive in the first hand, and new things must be provided in the second hand, otherwise a few pennies will be wasted.
The clerk at the newspaper kindly took a piece of paper and said, "This is the clue provided by Ji Ji before. See if you have anything to add."
The beggar said: "I can't read."
The guy had to read it once.
After hearing this, the beggar was overjoyed and said to the man: "The clues I want to provide are much more important than this. I know why they sued the immortal."
The boy quickly took a piece of paper and wrote it down, and then said to the beggar: "If we can prove that your news is true, we will naturally give you money."
The beggar asked again: "How much can I get?"
The clerk thought for a while and said, "At least a hundred yuan. If the news causes a sensation, we will increase it more."
The beggar's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
The guy asked again: "Where can I find you then?"
The beggar said: "I will come and take a look every day."
The man agreed, and the beggar left in a hurry.
He couldn't help but be anxious. Liu Ji and his group would arrive after a while, just in case they bumped into him. Might have to get a beating.
…………
Daqin Daily, on the second floor, Fu Yao called a meeting with all the people in charge.
The atmosphere of the meeting was somewhat tense.
Fu Yao slapped the table and said angrily: "You are so audacious that you want to sue my master?"
Several people in charge of the newspaper kept wiping cold sweat: "Sir, please calm down. We absolutely dare not sue the Immortal. Someone wants to sue the Immortal. We are discussing whether to publish the news."
Fu Yao shouted: "Of course it cannot be published. If this news were published, wouldn't my master be very embarrassed?"
These responsible people look at me and I look at you, and they all think in their hearts: banishing immortals... do you want to save face?
Ordinary people don't know about Li Shui, but these people are journalists and like to inquire about gossip. The more they inquire, the more they learn about Li Shui's anecdotes.
Of course, such anecdotes did not affect Li Shui's status in their hearts. After all, Li Shui's achievements were too great for ordinary people to reach.
One of the people in charge stood up bravely and said boldly: "However, however... Ban Xian once said it when he was training us. Those who make newspapers must be fair and objective, and play the role of public opinion... public opinion supervision. "
Fu Yao said quietly: "Why do I remember that Master also said that it should also play a role in guiding public opinion?"
The other person in charge stood up carefully and said to Fu Yao: "Sir, we all know that the banished immortal will never owe compensation to one or two farmers."
"If we report this matter, and then banish the immortal and properly handle the matter, wouldn't that give reassurance to everyone in the world? In the future, whether it is fertilizer or insurance, we will be able to sell better."
Fu Yao was slightly startled, thinking that the angle of this statement was quite novel.
The third person in charge stood up again and said to Fu Yao: "Young Master, I heard that since the last immortal-Confucian debate, those Confucian scholars were not convinced. They thought that the newspaper was published by the Young Master and was inextricably linked to the banishment of immortals. contact."
"So they also ran a newspaper to promote Confucian views. This newspaper is called...Xianyang Daily. It seems to be the name."
Fu Yao hummed lightly: "I know this. Master has already said that there cannot be only one newspaper. There will definitely be different newspapers in the future. What we have to do is to provide the fastest and most accurate information. The best content, just keep your edge.”
The person in charge said: "However...if those Confucian scholars are the first to report these people's lawsuit against immortals, we will be passive."
Fu Yao frowned. Pacing back and forth in the house.
At this time, a craftsman came in panting.
Fu Yao asked: "How?"
The craftsman cupped his hands and said: "The villain has already asked the banished immortal, and the banished immortal said that of course this matter must be reported. In the future, unless the royal family is involved, everything will be handled impartially."
"Anything involving the royal family must be personally reviewed by His Majesty. As for other people, no matter how high-ranking the officials are, they must be merciless. Only in this way can the people recognize Daqin Daily."
"This time, the newspaper reported on the banishment of immortals, which can be regarded as letting the world know our character."
Fu Yao nodded: "Since master agrees, let's get ready."
At this time, a clerk came upstairs and said breathlessly: "Sir, the group of people who want to sue the immortal is here."
Fu Yao smiled slightly: "Did you come to the door yourself?"
He said to the people present: "Send the most astute reporters to conduct a thorough cross-examination. If anyone is deceived by them and wrongfully accuses my master, I will not spare him."
Everyone present agreed and went downstairs nervously.
They could vaguely feel that they were about to participate in something that would go down in history.
Help civilians seek justice and sue important officials?
Whether it's banishing immortals to bully others or making nonsense of people. The courage to report it alone is enough to be praised by future generations.
