"It's embarrassing."
"Sweep the floor politely."
"I'm too embarrassed to see anyone."
"..."
Confucian scholars have been talking about these words all day long recently.
Some of them are thin-skinned and almost want to commit suicide.
The nightmare of the Confucian scholars in Qi and Lu was actually replicated in Xianyang.
Now in the circle of Confucian scholars, a saying has begun to spread, saying that Huaiguzi is a Confucian butcher.
Specialized in killing Confucian scholars.
Not eliminated physically, but eliminated spiritually.
Pitiful!
horrible!
Confucian scholars are pitiful, and banished immortals are terrible.
The Confucian scholars began to gather together for meetings again.
Just like their counterparts in Qilu and Lu.
The theme of today's meeting is to discuss how to deal with Sophora Millet.
A Confucian scholar said: "In Xianyang City, and even in the entire Guanzhong, the people worship the banished immortals as gods. If we are in tit-for-tat confrontation with Huaiguzi, we will definitely not get a good harvest. It is better to find a way to reconcile with the banished immortals."
Another Confucian scholar said unwillingly: "Reconciliation? Will Huaiguzi reconcile with us? In the end, don't you want us to apologize?"
The Confucian scholar said before: "Just apologize. This fairy doctor seems to be really useful."
Other Confucian scholars disagreed: "Once you apologize, the integrity of Xianyang City will be completely cut off."
"Everyone, we are the only decent people left in Xianyang. Do we have to succumb to Huaiguzi?"
"Mencius said that one cannot bend with force. Do we really want to bow to Huaiguzi?"
Soon, the Confucian scholars started to quarrel.
Some people believe that you cannot apologize to Huaiguzi, and once you apologize, the consequences will be disastrous. From now on, I am afraid there will only be immortality and no Confucianism.
Another group of people thinks this is complete nonsense. What does the debate between immortality and Confucianism have to do with apologizing or not?
At first, everyone thought that fairy doctors could not cure diseases, so they greatly slandered Toyoda Hou.
Now that it has been proven that the fairy medicine is effective, what's the big deal if I just apologize to others?
One yard owned by a yard.
This is not an apology to banished immortals, this is an apology to Xiangli Zhu.
Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with the dispute between immortals and Confucians.
If you refuse to admit your mistakes, then I am afraid that is not the true nature of Confucianism.
As a result, the Confucian scholars split.
In the end, everyone broke up unhappy.
Some Confucian scholars refused to apologize, while others went to Shang Jun's Courtyard in twos and threes.
Xianglizhu had already received the news.
She found Li Shui and said, "A group of Confucian scholars came to apologize to me."
Li Shui hummed: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Xianglizhu looked angry: "I don't want to forgive them. These people ridiculed me at the beginning, but now I can get over it with a light apology?"
Li Shui said: "Since you don't want to forgive them, why did you tell me? Then why don't you just shut them out?"
Xianglizhu was stunned.
I don't know what to say.
Li Shui said with a smile: "Actually... deep down in your heart, you want to forgive them. It's just that you can't swallow this breath, right?"
Xianglizhu nodded.
Li Shui said: "Our purpose is actually very simple, which is to make our friends more and more and our enemies less and less. Some things don't matter if we have a battle of wills."
"Look at me, I am an extraordinary person, and I never engage in unnecessary disputes. After I just came to Xianyang City, I only have one friend, Li Xin. Don't all the civil and military officials in the dynasty respect me?"
Xianglizhu: "..."
The truth is a good one, but can you please not use yourself as an example? This is simply a counterexample.
She sighed: "I know."
Then, he left with a heavy heart.
The group of Confucian scholars waited at the gate of Shangjun's courtyard for a long time, but Niu Dia wouldn't let them in.
He also claimed that these people had been included in Shangjun Courtyard's blacklist. Not only can they not enter, but none of their nine clans can enter.
Moreover, various products of Shangjun Courtyard cannot be sold to them. Merchants who cooperate with Shangjun Courtyard will no longer do business with them.
The Confucian scholars almost went crazy.
Who can stay away from Shangjun Courtyard now?
Shangjunbieyuan is the largest flour manufacturer, book printing factory, steel factory, paper factory, pesticide factory, fertilizer factory...
If you are blacklisted by Shangjun Villa, you can only live your old life.
Although Confucian scholars have experienced the previous life, who would want to go back?
First of all, the lack of toilet paper is unbearable.
In addition, among the nine Confucian clans, there are always a few who have headaches and are scolded by their relatives every day.
Who can bear this?
So the Confucian scholars had no choice but to put aside their status and say all the good things to Niu Calf.
But the calf just wouldn't let go.
A look like "I'm just following the rules."
As a result, the Confucian scholars became even more helpless.
Finally, someone got the idea and paid double the ticket price.
The calf agreed to be released.
The Confucian scholars were completely relieved and said helplessly: "If you want money, just ask."
While collecting the money, Niu Dao pretended to be cool with his sleeves: "I don't want money, I just want to see your sincerity."
Confucian scholar: "..."
What the hell, is this any different from wanting money?
Now that you have seen your sincerity, will you refund the money?
The Confucian scholars had smiles on their faces, but they were all cursing in their hearts.
Then, they arrived at Shangjun Courtyard.
After entering Shangjun Courtyard, the rest of the matter went smoothly.
Soon, they met Xiangli Zhu.
These Confucian scholars sincerely apologized to Xianglizhu.
Xianglizhu's reaction was light, but he also expressed his willingness to forgive them.
Then, in front of them, Xianglizhu ordered a craftsman to write down their names and erase them from the blacklist.
The Confucian scholars thanked him profusely and left.
After they left, the relatives of these Confucian scholars couldn't wait to seek medical treatment from immortal doctors.
Only a small portion of the Confucian scholars apologized, but their actions stirred up waves and soon had a chain reaction.
Originally, the relatives of Confucian scholars in Xianyang City were not allowed to see doctors.
Now some people can read it, while others are still shut out because the Confucian scholar refuses to apologize.
These rejected people were very angry, especially when they saw that the people who were as sad as themselves two days ago were now smiling.
That kind of jealousy is indescribable.
As a result, these people began to accuse the remaining Confucian scholars more violently.
Finally, more people couldn't bear it anymore and began to go to Shangjun Courtyard in twos and threes to apologize.
Based on the experience of the previous Confucian scholars, these newcomers prepared double tickets.
As a result, they found that the ticket price had increased and they had to pay three times.
The remaining four times, five times, and so on.
In this way, the Confucian scholar who had apologized earlier not only did not feel embarrassed, but actually took advantage of him.
So deep in their hearts, they suddenly felt that Shangjun Courtyard was a little more friendly.
In the end, only a few stubborn Confucian scholars remained who had not come to apologize.
Xianglizhu said to Li Shui: "They shouldn't be coming, right?"
Li Shui said: "That's not necessarily true, look at how much they cherish their lives."
Xianglizhu asked curiously: "How do you say that?"
Li Shui said: "The weather has changed recently. Many people in the city are infected with wind and cold. This thing is contagious. I believe it will be spread to those Confucian scholars soon."
Wind-cold is not a serious illness in modern times, or even a disease.
But in ancient times, an era without antibiotics, it was hard to say.
It all depends on one’s immunity.
And those old Confucian scholars are already quite old, and most likely do not have such resistance.
Sure enough, three days later, the families of the Confucian scholars came.
When they arrived at the gate of Shangjun Courtyard, they paid ten times the entrance fee.
After seeing Xiangli Zhu, these people cried loudly, hoping that Xiangli Zhu could save their lives.
Xiangli Zhu looked at Li Shui.
Li Shui looked at Xiangli Zhu with a smile: "Remember our principles, getting angry is not the purpose."
Xiangli Zhu nodded and said to the families of those Confucian scholars: "Forget it, take me to see them."
So Xianglizhu took action personally.
Reporters from General Tabloid and Daqin Daily had already been waiting outside.
The moment Xianglizhu stepped out of the gate of Shangjun Courtyard. They took photos of Xianglizhu.
And he gave a big title: Toyoda Hou, regardless of past grievances, rescued pedantic scholars.
The old Confucian scholars were lying on the hospital bed, already very weak. Completely powerless to resist.
In fact, who is not afraid in the face of death?
Even if someone fights to die and refuses to be treated by Xianglizhu, he cannot defeat his family.
Xianglizhu simply gave them an injection and left.
The next day, most of the Confucian scholars had recovered.
Only a Confucian scholar named Dou Ya died.
Dou Ya's condition was too serious and the delay was too long, making it impossible for gods to save him. Xianglizhu didn't rescue him, which was excusable, but it didn't mean anything.
Is there any miracle doctor in the world who can cure all diseases?
I just didn't expect that Dou Ya's family would report this matter to the Confucian newspaper and ask them to report it and ask Xiangli Zhu to give an explanation.
After an investigation by the Confucian Daily, they secretly sent someone to ask for instructions from Li Xin, Li Shui, and Xiangli Zhu.
Xianglizhu said it didn't matter.
So, this report was sent out.
The results were unexpected, and the content of the report was widely circulated and sparked a huge controversy.
Immortal doctors, after all, are something that just appeared.
Although it does cure many people, many more people are on the fence.
Now that Xiangli Zhuzhi had killed someone, they immediately began to doubt the immortal doctor.
Xianglizhu didn't bother to pay attention to these people, and told the medical students that some people didn't want to live, so don't worry about them.
After a few days of commotion like this, many people started suing Dou Ya's family members against Xiangli Zhu.
Unexpectedly, the family actually listened and sued Xiangli Zhu.
Accused her of being a quack and harming people.
This made Xianglizhu furious.
She began to accuse Dou Ya's family of false accusations.
Soon, the focus of the matter became whether Dou Ya's death had anything to do with Xiangli Zhu's medicine.
If Xiangli Zhu doesn't give Dou Ya medicine, will Dou Ya die?
After Xiangli Zhu gave Dou Ya medicine, did it delay his death?
In the end, Xiangli Zhu and Dou Ya's family went to court.
This was originally empty talk without evidence.
As a result, Li Shui and Li Xin, who were watching the excitement, said, "Why don't you try an autopsy?"
Everyone around asked Li Shui in surprise: "How to do an autopsy?"
Li Shui said: "Whether Dou Ya died of illness or how he died can be verified by an autopsy."
Dou Ya's family expressed firm opposition, believing that the man was dead and his body must not be destroyed again.
However, at Li Shui's insistence, Dou Ya's body was still carried over.
It cannot be dissected, but the marks can also be seen on the surface.
As a result, when I looked at it this way, I immediately realized that something was wrong.
Dou Ya did not die of illness, but of suffocation.
In order to verify this, Li Xin found several death row prisoners waiting to be executed and demonstrated on the spot.
In the end, it was proved that Dou Ya was indeed suffocated to death.
At this time, Dou Ya's family members all became suspects.
And those family members were completely confused.
At this time, an old slave stood up and confessed that he had suffocated Dou Ya to death.
Dou Ya was one of the Confucian scholars who took the initiative to receive the injection.
At that time, he was willing to take the injection, not because he had given in to Xianglizhu.
But...he wanted to use this method to slander Xianglizhu's immortal doctor.
After Dou Ya got the injection that day, he passively waited for his death.
As long as he dies, Xianglizhu's reputation will be over.
I have to say that Dou Ya is really willing to spend money.
What he didn't expect was that his health actually got better day by day.
This time Dou Ya felt a little lost.
So...he decided to be martyred.
Dou Ya, with a lofty sense of mission, let the old slave suffocate him to death.
Dou Ya originally thought that with his own life, he would definitely be able to hit Xiangli Zhu.
As long as Xianglizhu is hit, the Confucian scholar's reputation can be restored.
I just didn’t expect that there would be such a thing as an autopsy. They actually found out the truth.
The people present listened to the old slave's story and looked at Dou Ya's body, and they all sighed: This old man... died in vain.
Finally, the truth comes out.
The reputation of Xiangli Zhu and the immortal doctor is three points higher than before.
But the Confucian scholars completely died out.
As for the old slave who committed the murder, he was not sentenced to death. After all, Dou Ya's death was his own request, and the old slave was just helping.
…………
The excitement in Xianyang City soon spread throughout Daqin.
But thousands of miles away, there was a group of people who didn't hear any news.
They were sailors headed by Xu Fu.
They had been wandering on the sea for an unknown length of time, and half of them fell ill. When they were extremely desperate, they finally saw a piece of land.
Then they landed on land.
At first, they thought it was an island, but after some investigation, they discovered that it was indeed a mainland.
Xu Fu immediately determined the longitude and latitude based on the stars in the sky, and finally discovered with excitement that this was the overseas continent that the banished immortal once said.
Xu Fu lay on the stone contentedly, looked at the stars in the sky, and said with emotion: "My wish is enough in this life."
At this time, there was a group of locals holding sharpened wooden sticks as spears.
are approaching them quietly.
Xu Fu and others, who were in excitement, had no idea that they had fallen into the encirclement.
