Under Li Shui's gentle and considerate questioning, Xiang Bo finally opened his heart.
He clutched the medal in his neck tightly and said with tears, "I...I am guilty!"
Li Shui smiled and said, "What crime do you have?"
Uncle Xiang cried and said, "I...my surname is not Jing."
Li Shui laughed loudly: "Is it sinful if I don't have a surname of Jing? I don't have a surname of Jing either. What's the truth?"
Uncle Xiang was stunned for a moment and then said, "Young man, I pretended to be named Jing."
Li Shui said: "It's just false identification of household registration. Considering your achievements in the Western Regions, this is not a big deal. Does this also require my personal intercession?"
Xiang Bo scratched his head and thought: Why is it that today's banishment of immortals always interrupts?
Xiang Bo didn't dare to tell the truth in the first place, but today he mustered up the courage to come and surrender.
Unexpectedly, Li Shui kept hitting him, which made Uncle Xiang flinch a little bit.
At this time, two horses were galloping outside Xianyang City.
The first one is Li Xin. The one at the back is Li Yi, a servant in Li Xin's family.
Li Yi was specially arranged by Li Xin to stay in Shangjun Courtyard.
He didn't have any work to do in Shangjun Courtyard. Li Xin only told him one thing: pay close attention to every move in Shangjun Courtyard. If there is any excitement, come back and notify him immediately!
It can be said that Li Yi is specially used by Li Xin to eat melons.
With Li Yi, I will never let go of anyone from now on.
Today, when Li Yi was wandering around the Shangjun Courtyard, he saw Xiang Bo with a dozen medals hanging around his neck, swaying towards Li Shui's room with a determined look on his face.
He immediately realized that something was wrong, so he rode on his horse and went to report Li Xin.
Li Xin was playing in a wheelchair. After hearing these words, he jumped up from the wheelchair, ran to the stables, and rushed to Shangjun's courtyard at lightning speed.
When Li Xin rushed in quickly, Li Shui and Xiang Bo hadn't gotten to the point yet.
Li Shui was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Xin coming in, and then scratched his head: "Brother Li, what are you..."
Li Xin said breathlessly: "I have nothing to do, just walk around and visit, haha."
Li Shui thought a little helplessly: You obviously came here at a high speed, but you still say that you can just wander around, who will believe it?
Xiang Bo was timid at first, so he finally mustered up the courage to reveal the truth to Li Shui. Unexpectedly, a stranger suddenly came in and scared him back.
Li Xin looked at Xiang Bo with some excitement and thought: How long have you been waiting for him to plead guilty? This exciting moment has finally arrived.
He patted Xiang Bo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The banished immortal and I are inseparable from each other. If you have anything to say, just say it without worrying about whether I am here or not."
Xiang Bo snorted, frowned and began to think: Logically speaking, the banishment of immortals and General Li Xin are indeed indistinguishable from each other, but my matter is so important, can I say it in front of Li Xin?
But... if I can impress Li Xin, would it be more effective if the banished immortal and Li Xin intercede for me together?
He looked up at Li Xin and saw Li Xin with a kind face and looking at him with encouraging eyes.
Suddenly, a sense of warmth surged in Xiang Bo's heart.
Just when he was about to speak, a figure passed by the door. Is panting to fuck.
Wu Jiao did not enter the door, but made a gesture at the door and left.
A smile suddenly appeared on Li Shui's face.
It seems that the palace has made arrangements.
Although Wu Jiao did not come in, his appearance still dispelled Xiang Bo's courage.
Li Shui said gently: "If you need anything, just tell me directly. Brother Li and I will help you."
Xiang Bo was overjoyed and asked, "Really?"
Li Shui nodded vigorously, and Li Xin also nodded.
Xiang Bo finally plucked up the courage and said, "I am banishing the immortal, General Li. In fact... I am a rebel."
"Ah." Li Shui exclaimed exaggeratedly and took a step back.
Li Xin reached out and pulled out the sword from his waist.
As soon as the sword came out, it was gleaming with cold light and was about to strike Xiang Bo.
Xiang Bo quickly said: "Sir, sir, I'm here to confess my sins. I'm here to confess my sins."
Only then did Li Xin put away the sword. The sword blade hovered less than an inch away from Xiang Bo's neck.
Xiang Bo was so frightened that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
After Li Xin took the sword back. Li Shui asked: "Why...why did you rebel?"
Xiang Bo said tremblingly: "The villain has never rebelled."
Li Shui smiled: "This is strange. Didn't you just say that you were a rebel?"
Xiang Bo wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Young man... Although I did not participate in the rebellion, there are people in my clan who are rebels."
Li Shui asked curiously: "Who is it?"
Xiang Bo said, "I have a clan brother named Xiang Liang."
Li Shui and Li Xin shouted exaggeratedly at the same time.
Later, Xiang Bo honestly told everything he knew.
In fact, Li Shui already knew what Xiang Bo knew. But he tried his best to appear surprised.
After Xiang Bo finished speaking, he looked at Li Shui uneasily.
And intentionally or unintentionally, he sorted out the medals as a reminder to Li Shui.
Li Shui put his hands behind his back and looked at the clear sky of Qin outside the door. He suddenly sighed: "Rebellion is a treasonous and unforgivable crime."
As soon as Xiang Bo heard this, he collapsed to the ground, his face turned ashen.
But Li Shui added: "But I have promised you after all. How can I break my promise if I value my life and value my righteousness?"
Xiang Bo's eyes lit up and his whole body was filled with energy.
At this time, Li Shui secretly gave Li Xin a wink.
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses and whispered unhappily: "It's me again?"
Li Shui indicated with his eyes: Nonsense, do you think this drama is for nothing?
Li Xin sighed helplessly, then coughed heavily, and said to Li Shui with a serious face: "Brother Huai, this general has been clear about right and wrong throughout his life. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Rebellion is a great treason, why? Can you bend the law for personal gain?"
As soon as Xiang Bo heard this, he felt like his whole body had been drained, and he didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.
Li Shui pondered for a few seconds and said, "However, I have already promised him. I always keep my word."
A spark of fire ignited in Xiang Bo's heart again.
Li Xin said with a livid face: "Does banishing immortals mean that national laws must be abolished because of private grudges?"
Xiang Bo felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him by his pocket, and the small flame was completely extinguished.
Li Shui was silent for a while and then said to Li Xin: "However, Uncle Xiang has made great contributions to our great Qin. Aren't these contributions enough to exchange for his life?"
It was like a ray of sunshine shining into Xiang Bo's trapped heart.
He clung to this glimmer of hope as if grasping a life-saving straw: Yes, I have merit. I found a lot of gold mines, a lot of silver mines, and I also found oil...
Li Xin chuckled: "Bo Xiang's credit is just for discovering some mineral deposits. Gold, silver, copper and iron, these mineral deposits cannot escape. Even if Uncle Xiang can't find them, others can. Does this count as credit? ?”
The sunlight in front of Xiang Bo's eyes disappeared.
Yes, Li Xin is right, the mineral deposits will not escape, this...sigh.
Li Shui and Li Xin were going back and forth, quarreling with each other, one being the villain and the other the villain.
Xiang Bo's mood rose and fell with their words.
Xiang Bo felt as if he had been bound to the execution ground. The executioner was standing next to him with a big knife in his hand.
Li Xin said a word, and the executioner raised his knife and struck at his head.
Exile the Immortal's words, it's as if someone shouted to save someone under the knife.
After going back and forth like this for more than a hundred times, Xiang Bo collapsed.
He slumped on the ground with dull eyes, with only one thought in his mind: "It's over, hurry up. I'm tired."
Li Shui and Li Xin were having a lively discussion when a young eunuch came in from outside and said respectfully: "Exalt the Immortal, Your Majesty invites you."
The corner of Xiang Bo's mouth twitched: "Your Majesty?"
However, his nerves were already broken at this time, so he could do whatever he wanted.
The discussion between Li Shui and Li Xin came to an abrupt end.
Li Shui said: "Well, it would be best to let His Majesty decide this matter."
Li Xin nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what it should be."
Li Shui said: "Even if I am in front of His Majesty, I will argue with reason."
Li Xin said: "This great general will also argue with reason."
The corner of Xiang Bo's mouth twitched again: "When we are in front of His Majesty, are we going to repeat those words just now?"
Xiang Bo felt dizzy, so he was helped up and put into a car, then staggered to the palace.
After arriving at the palace, the young eunuch said: "Your Majesty is reading the memorial. After reading it, he will naturally summon them."
Li Shui and Li Xin agreed.
Later, Xiang Bo was locked in a small room.
Li Shui and Li Xin went to Weiyang's bedroom with smiles on their faces.
As a result, Li Xin was kicked out.
Li Shui was also kicked out.
…………
In Xianyang City, not only Xiang Bo was panicked. Xiang Chao was also panicked.
Who would have thought that Liu Ji, who was far away in Peixian County, would actually come to Xianyang.
Who would have thought that Liu Ji was also a restless master, causing trouble all over the city.
Xiang Yu is now under house arrest. As long as the court investigates carefully, it will definitely find out that Xiang Yu is fake.
By then, if we dig deeper, the Xiang family may not even be able to save their lives, let alone become emperors.
Xiang Chao wandered around at home, and finally decided to bribe witnesses.
Didn't Liu Ji have some villagers to testify for him? Then buy it with money.
So Xiang Chao sold some property and began to contact Liu Ji's folks.
At first, these folks were reluctant.
Giving perjury is a grave sin.
But...but Xiang Chao gave too much.
Being convicted is terrible, but being poor is also terrible.
Although there are banished immortals now, everyone does not have to worry about starving to death.
But...who would mind having too much money?
That's a lot of money if you don't get caught. You can no longer have to work for the rest of your life, you can marry a beautiful wife, and you can show off to your neighbors.
As a result, these folks were bribed.
These villagers made an appointment with Xiang Chao, saying that the current Liu Ji, who was cheating on insurance, had moved here later and was not in Peixian County before.
After taking care of the villagers, Xiang Chao set his target on Liu Weng.
Liu Weng is a bit difficult to deal with. After all, Liu Weng is Liu Ji's biological father. A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, so it should be difficult for him to be bribed, right?
However... if he is really bribed, then Xiang Yu's life will be completely stable.
After all, his biological father testified, so what else is there to say?
So Xiang Chao found Liu Weng with a large amount of money.
After Liu Weng saw Qian Cai, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was very enthusiastic about Xiang Chao.
After Xiang Chao explained his purpose, Liu Weng fell silent.
Xiang Chao knew that this kind of thing was a bit difficult to handle, so he had to get close to Liu Weng.
So he ordered people to bring wine and food.
After three glasses of wine, Liu Weng suddenly started crying.
Xiang Chao was a little embarrassed: "Brother Liu, what are you..."
Liu Weng said: "Liu Ji, a wolf-hearted person, is unfilial."
Xiang Chao: "?"
Liu Weng said: "He has never seen me as a father in his eyes. This rebellious son spends all his time idle and not engaged in production. How is he like me?"
"I used to talk to him, but he turned a deaf ear. Ever since he got rich through bad luck, he started to sneer at me."
"What are you talking about? How much money does your favorite second brother have now? How much money do I have? Oh, this really pisses me off."
Xiang Chao's heart moved: Do they have any quarrel? Then maybe this thing can be done.
He persuaded Liu Weng to drink more affectionately.
Liu Weng seemed to have a desire to talk. He was drunk and said to Xiang Chao: "The more I look at Liu Ji, the less he looks like my kind."
Xiang Chao laughed dryly: "Isn't this... different?"
Liu Weng sighed and said to Xiang Chao: "Actually, there is something that I have been unable to talk about and have been holding it in my heart for many years. That's all. I'm happy today, so I'll tell you about it."
"My mother-in-law, before she gave birth to Liu Ji, she was a little distracted. She was always missing for no reason."
"Once she was missing for three days. I looked everywhere for her, and finally found her on the ridge of a field."
"The woman said that just now the wind and rain were coming together, and suddenly there was a dragon among the dark clouds... No, there was a big snake swooping down."
Liu Weng originally wanted to say dragon, but he suddenly remembered that this was a bit taboo, so he temporarily changed it to snake.
But Xiang Chao was only thinking about how to save Xiang Yu's life, so he didn't pay much attention.
Seeing that he had been fooled, Liu Weng breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "My wife said that the snake pounced on her, so she did what the Duke of Zhou did to her. It lasted for three days and three nights."
Xiang Chao: "..."
Liu Weng said: "I didn't think much about it at the time. It was not easy for a poor family to marry a wife. She was bullied by the snake. It was not her fault. I forgave her at that time."
"Unexpectedly, Liu Ji was born ten months later. I didn't want this child, but my mother-in-law said that Liu Ji is the seed of a big snake, and he may be able to make great achievements in the future. By then, I can't follow him. Do you want to enjoy the happiness together?"
"I thought about it and thought it made sense, so I agreed. I didn't expect that Liu Ji would never take the right path when he grew up."
"Over the years, the more I think about it, the more something is wrong. Do you think there are really dragons and snakes in this world that can control the wind and rain? Could this woman have stolen a man?"
Xiang Chao coughed dryly: "Is this Liu Ji really not yours?"
Liu Weng said: "Of course not. But... is he born of a dragon and a snake? I have become more and more doubtful in recent years. Looking at him, there are no signs of any achievements."
