Wu Jing is not an ambitious person, at least he thinks so.
This time he took the initiative to take the lead in dealing with Huaiguzi, not because he was ambitious, but simply to save Confucianism.
Of course, if in addition to saving Confucianism, you can also become a Confucian leader, that would be fine.
After all... Chun Yuyue's recent actions are really disappointing. Someone else should step up and turn the tide.
Wu Jing let out a long sigh, looked at the long white clouds in the sky, and thought to himself: This is probably destiny. After Confucius and Mencius, there will also be Master Wu.
He thought about it for a while, then picked up the newspaper and read it with relish.
…………
Stab, sting, sting.
The newspaper was torn to pieces.
"What the hell are these shameless people writing?" Yong Chi shouted angrily, threw the Xianyang Daily to the ground, and stomped on it.
When he was in Peixian County, Liu Ji claimed that he would sue him.
Yong Chi endured it and let the fertilizer station make a decision on Liu Ji's farmland with great restraint. Finally, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his fertilizer.
Yong Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his reputation was somewhat affected by Liu Ji's incident and his fertilizer sales were a little worse, Yongchi endured it.
He believed in banishing immortals and believed in banishing immortals as fertilizer. As time passes, these people will surely understand how precious chemical fertilizers are.
The sales volume affected now will definitely be made up for.
But what Yong Chi never expected was that Liu Ji actually came to Xianyang City to cause trouble.
When Yong Chi got the news in Pei County, Liu Ji had already left for three or two days.
He chased after him slowly, but was still one step behind. When he came near Xianyang, he saw many people reading Xianyang Daily.
He immediately bought a copy, and after reading it, he was so angry that he almost fainted.
This is sheer nonsense, sheer nonsense.
Yong Chi tore up the newspaper and hurried to Shang Jun's courtyard.
This incident was caused by himself, and he didn't want the banished immortal to be wronged.
He planned to explain the situation to the banished immortal and then clarify the facts in public.
Just when Yong Chi was about to enter Shang Jun's courtyard, two people suddenly stopped him.
Yong Chi thought that these two people were craftsmen from Shang Jun's courtyard, but after taking a closer look, he found that they were strangers and he did not recognize them.
"Could it be that Shang Jun's Courtyard is recruiting new people?" Yong Chi felt a little confused.
The two men smiled and said, "Brother, how about we go have a drink?"
Yong Chi said warily: "I don't know you."
The two men chuckled: "Although you don't know us, we know you. You are the famous Yong Chi, right? A native of Fengyi, Pei County, right?"
Yong Chi asked in confusion: "Why do you know me?"
The two people took out a photo: "We got to know you through this."
Yong Chi looked at it and saw that he was carrying fertilizer in the photo. Although he was sweating profusely, he looked satisfied.
This photo should have been cut from a newspaper.
Yong Chi asked curiously: "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"
The two people said mysteriously: "We are reporters from Xianyang Daily."
When Yong Chi heard the words "Xianyang Daily", his anger suddenly surged and he wanted to tear these two people apart.
These two people probably also knew that what they did was not very authentic, and they had long been on guard against Yong Chi's attack. Seeing him rushing forward, he quickly took a step back: "Brother, please be patient and patient. Please listen to our explanation."
Yong Chi's teeth itched with hatred: "Now that things have happened, what else is there to explain?"
The two men laughed dryly and said: "Brother, I don't know. We only saw Liu Ji before, but not you, Yong Chi. We can't see your people. Of course, what Liu Ji says, we can only What do you believe?"
"If you think what Liu Ji said is wrong, you can accept our interview and refute him."
"When the time comes for the confrontation with you, won't it be clear at a glance who is right and who is wrong in this matter?"
Yong Chi thought for a while and felt that this was a good thing, so he nodded.
The two people laughed and said, "Let's go, brother, come with us for a drink?"
Yong Chi agreed and followed the two men.
They entered a tavern. The quality of the tavern was not very high, and the food was not very delicious, but the price was cheap.
After drinking, the two reporters began to ask questions.
"Excuse me, brother, is the fertilizer you sell developed by Shangjun Courtyard? Does Exalted Immortal know about this?"
Yong Chi snorted: "It was developed by Shangjun Academy. Of course Exiled Immortal knew about it."
Yong Chi said with some pride: "I sell fertilizers, and that was approved by the banished immortal himself."
The reporter happily wrote in the notebook: "Yong Chi confessed, and Ban Xian was fully aware of this."
The reporter asked again: "Did Liu Ji buy the fertilizer from you?"
Yong Chi said: "Yes."
The reporter happily wrote: "Yong Chi confessed that Liu Ji's fertilizer was indeed developed by the banished immortal."
The reporter asked again: "Did Liu Ji's farmland yield no harvest?"
Yong Chi slapped the table hard and said angrily: "It is said that Liu Ji didn't plow the fields at all. He didn't sow the seeds and still reaped nothing."
The reporter happily wrote: "As for Liu Ji's failure, Yong Chi said: He has gained nothing."
The reporter asked again: "Did the fertilizer station refuse to compensate?"
Yong Chi said: "Nonsense, we are not at fault, why should we compensate him?"
The reporter wrote down again: "Yong Chi refused to admit his mistake."
Yong Chi looked at the two reporters hopefully: "Have I made everything clear?"
The reporter smiled and said: "It's clear, it's very clear. Thank you for your cooperation."
Yong Chi asked: "Now, can I still be innocent of the banished immortal?"
The reporter said: "We will definitely tell the people what we really want to do."
Yong Chi breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good, then I'll feel relieved."
The reporter added: "How about we take a photo? It will be more convincing if we put it in the newspaper later."
Yong Chi agreed.
The two reporters carefully removed the camera from the carriage outside and took a photo with Yong Chi.
After taking a group photo, the reporter smiled and said: "Brother, why don't you drink here for a while, and the two of us will leave first. We have to go back and write the article quickly, so that we can publish another newspaper as soon as possible."
Yong Chi nodded repeatedly: "You go quickly, it is about the innocence of the banished immortal, so there is no time to delay."
The two reporters left with smiles on their faces, and Yong Chi finally relaxed and started drinking.
He had been worried all the way, and now he could finally rest calmly for a while.
Half an hour later, Yong Chi stood up and planned to go to Shang Jun's courtyard to visit the banished immortal.
As a result, the waiter stopped him and said politely: "This guest, you haven't paid yet."
Yong Chi was stunned: "Didn't those two people pay just now?"
The waiter said: "No."
Yong Chi sighed: "That's all, these two people may have forgotten."
Yong Chi didn't think that the two reporters were deliberately trying to trick him. After all, this tavern was not high-end. If they really wanted to trick him, they should go to a higher-end place.
He took out a few copper coins and asked, "How much?"
The waiter looked at the copper coins in his hand, coughed dryly, and said, "Five thousand coins."
Yong Chi was shocked and asked, "How much?"
The waiter said: "Five thousand dollars."
Yong Chi got angry: "Your wine and your food cost five thousand yuan? Are you robbing money?"
The waiter said: "This dish is only worth 30 yuan, but your two companions took tea worth 3,770 yuan before leaving."
Yong Chi almost fainted.
The people in Xianyang City are really evil.
The waiter saw that Yong Chi didn't seem to want to pay, so he said quietly: "This guest, do you have money?"
Yong Chi said: "No, how about it?"
The waiter said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. According to the rules, you can pay off the debt with work."
Yong Chi: "What?"
The waiter said: "Our monthly salary here is three hundred cash. Now you owe us five thousand cash. You only need to work for two or three years to pay it off."
Yong Chi thought to himself: I am going to see the banished immortal right away. How can I possibly work here for two or three years?
He said to the waiter: "It's not that I don't have money, I just don't bring that much. I have a business in Peixian County, so I can still use the money."
The waiter said quietly: "I can't let you go without the money."
Yong Chi became anxious and insisted on breaking out, but the waiter called a group of people and beat him up.
They were playing happily when they were suddenly stopped by someone drinking.
Yong Chi looked up and found that the man looked very familiar.
He stared at this man for a long time, and then said tentatively: "Isn't this... isn't this Brother Niu Calf?"
Niudu laughed loudly: "Is it really Brother Yongchi? Seeing that your nose and face were bruised and swollen after being beaten, I can't even recognize you."
The calf lifted Yong Chi up from the ground and asked in confusion: "What's going on with you?"
Yong Chi sighed: "Oh, someone else rinsed it."
Niu Calf asked the guys: "What's going on?"
The waiter and the waiter next to him didn't dare to say anything.
Who is doing business in this area and doesn’t know the calf?
Although Niu Dao is just a gatekeeper of Shangjun's courtyard, he can see the gate to the banishment of immortals.
The calf said unhappily: "Everyone, I asked you something, didn't you hear it?"
The waiter told what happened.
The calf smiled: "So that's why."
He put his arm around Yong Chi's shoulders and said, "Brother Yong Chi, you have already walked to the door of your house. Why are you so outgoing? If you need money, just come to me. Come on, let's go back first."
The calf pulled Yong Chi towards Shang Jun's courtyard.
After taking two steps, he turned back and said to the waiters and the others: "Why don't you follow? Don't you want the money?"
The waiter in the shop responded quickly and followed him in a hurry.
Niu Calf pointed to the guys around him and said, "They are coming too."
The waiter was stunned: "Can't I do it myself?"
Niu Dao said calmly: "You took so much money yourself, what if you run away? Get a few more witnesses to supervise you."
The waiter was a little aggrieved, but he dared not speak out in anger, so he could only let those people follow him.
After the group arrived at Shangjun Courtyard, they quickly met Li Shui.
Li Shui saw Yong Chi coming and said with a smile: "How is the fertilizer business these days?"
Yong Chi said respectfully: "Business is very good. The output of any farmland that uses chemical fertilizers has increased tenfold. Those people spread the word to ten, and they all come to buy chemical fertilizers."
"However, Liu Ji, a despicable person, spreads rumors everywhere. Some rumors have spread to Pei County, so the sales of fertilizers have actually declined."
Li Shui smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, as long as people who have used chemical fertilizers will definitely buy it again. The truth about Liu Ji's slanderous remarks about me will definitely come out."
Yong Chi responded respectfully.
Li Shui suddenly said: "What's wrong with your face? Did you get beaten?"
Yong Chi looked back at the waiter behind him and the people next to the waiter.
Li Shui asked: "What's going on?"
The waiter bravely told what happened.
Li Shui chuckled: "So it's because of this."
He said to the waiter: "How are you sure that those two reporters and Yong Chi are in the same group?"
The waiter was stunned and said, "They came together and were talking and laughing. Aren't they in the same group?"
Li Shui said: "I am also talking and laughing with you, are we in the same group?"
The waiter couldn't answer.
Li Shui added: "Those two reporters asked for more than four thousand dollars of tea before leaving. How can you be sure that Yong Chi knew about it?"
The waiter hesitated and said: "The two reporters said it was Yong Chi who paid the bill."
Li Shui said faintly: "Not only do you pay the bill, but you also give tea. Not only do you give tea, but you also let the guests choose. Not only do they let the guests choose, they also sit there and drink it themselves. Have you ever seen a gift like this?"
The waiter was speechless.
Li Shui added, "Why don't you check with Yong Chi about such a valuable thing?"
The waiter hesitated and was speechless.
Li Shui continued: "Could it be that you overheard their conversation and knew that they were not familiar with them, so you set a trap?"
"Not only did you charge the reporter for the meal, but you also told Yong Chi that the reporter didn't pay, and you took tea before leaving."
The waiter was so frightened that he peed his pants and knelt on the ground: "I don't dare, I will never dare."
Li Shui said: "You don't dare? But that's strange. There are so many taverns around, why did the two reporters choose yours? Your tavern is old and shabby. It was originally used to entertain poor people who set up stalls." Why did those two reporters think of entertaining guests at your place?"
"And in your tavern, both the wine and the food are very simple. How come you prepared expensive tea?"
The waiter was sweating profusely and was speechless.
When Yong Chi heard this, he suddenly blinked and came back to his senses: "Could it be that... I was deceived?"
Li Shui suddenly slammed the table: "What's going on? Let's get real."
The waiter completely collapsed and said tremblingly: "Little man, the little man knows one of the reporters. He often brings customers here, and we use this trick to defraud people of their money. The little man...the little man is an accomplice, and his ideas are all They came out of it.”
Li Shui sneered, sat down, and said to the calf next to him: "Go to Daqin Daily and find two reporters to write down what happened just now."
The calf responded and ran away happily.
