After borrowing money from the Immortal Bank, Feng Jia immediately devoted himself to bribing Wang Wu.
And when he bribed this time, Feng Jia felt a strange change in his psychology.
It seems...the borrowed money is not your own, it was picked up for free and you can spend it as you like.
So he became rich and powerful, and gradually surpassed Shangjun Courtyard.
On this day, a strange scene appeared in the city of Xianyang, with treasure-carrying carts constantly shuttling through the streets.
If anyone knows the inside story and has a chance to find out, all the treasure cars drive out from Shangjun Courtyard.
After a group of cars left Shangjun's courtyard, they went straight to Wang Wu's new house. This was a bribe given to Wang Wu on behalf of Master Fu Yao.
The other group of cars entered the Banished Immortal Bank. After going through the process at the bank, they were sent to the Feng Mansion. After staying in the Feng Mansion for a while, they were also transported to Wang Wu's home.
What's even more strange is that this car of jewelry didn't stay at Wang Wu's home for long. It was quietly sent to the Banished Immortal Bank, and then taken away by the Feng Mansion.
It can be said that Feng Jia bribed Wang Wu with dozens of cars of jewelry. In fact, these dozens of cars of jewelry were all the same car...
It's just... Feng Jia doesn't know.
He was too busy and the bribery task was too heavy, and he didn't even have time to open it and check it.
The Feng Mansion was bribing Wang Wu in full swing, while Feng Laili was uneasy in the palace.
He still hadn't waited for Ying Zheng to receive him.
It was already past noon, more than half of the afternoon was over, and it was almost evening.
Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Feng Quli was a little panicked.
Ying Zheng sighed, and said to the young eunuch beside him in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Go, call Feng Quli."
Ying Zheng didn't go to see Feng Quli before because he didn't want to see the person he had high hopes for degenerate into such a horrible state.
And Ying Zheng doesn't want to see Feng Quli now because he has seen everything about Feng Quli and doesn't want to see him anymore.
However, after all, he is an important minister in the DPRK, so he still has to do some superficial work.
So Ying Zheng sent someone to call Feng Quli.
While waiting, the young eunuch beside him had already reported to Ying Zheng what was going on in Xianyang City today.
Ying Zheng knew that Feng Laili was bribing Wang Wu, bribing Wang Wu crazily, and borrowing money to bribe Wang Wu.
The young eunuch helped Feng Quli settle an account. Now the Feng family is heavily in debt and cannot make ends meet.
But poor Feng Quli knew nothing.
After Ying Zheng heard this, he became even less interested in Feng Quli.
At this time, there was a burst of nervous footsteps outside.
It was Feng Quli who arrived.
Ying Zheng sat upright for a moment.
Feng Quili came in exhausted and saluted Ying Zheng solemnly.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and asked solemnly: "We went to the barbarian country. What was the result of the battle?"
Feng Quli hesitated for a moment.
He has two choices.
The first option is to admit that he has no merit and that he once plagiarized the idea of banishing immortals. Once you agree to these things, it is like voluntarily admitting guilt.
The emperor would pity himself for being so honest and arrogant and not going into details. At the same time, the emperor will also know that he is insufficient.
What a censor or a substitute prime minister is, it's all nonsense.
In this life, it is estimated that he will end here, and even his descendants will not be reused.
For Feng Quli, there are two lives. One is physical life, and the other is life in officialdom.
Once a person is sentenced to death in the officialdom, even if his body is still alive, he is already a walking corpse.
Feng Quili saw with his own eyes that some people who had failed in officialdom had their healthy and strong bodies suddenly collapsed.
These people seem to be very leisurely every day, but in fact they are very nervous.
Who knows whether the other party will kill them all, who knows whether the other party has any back-ups?
It is unwise and undesirable to give up official life in exchange for the continuation of the body.
Feng Quli immediately rejected this plan.
So he told another story he had prepared for a long time.
He said that most of the contents of Banishing Immortal Art of War were actually thought up by himself. The large base areas of the barbarian country were also conquered by themselves.
He also hinted that if the emperor had not recalled him, the entire barbarian country would have been defeated.
Feng Quili dared to say this because he had his own confidence.
His confidence is Wang Wu.
He has ordered Feng Jia to bribe Wang Wu at all costs. In Feng Quli's view, this was a foolproof thing.
As for whether Wang Wu would accept bribes, Feng Quli didn't think there was any problem.
When did Wang Wu, a poor man, see so much money? The chances of not being tempted are slim.
As for whether Mr. Fu Yao will interfere.
In Feng Quili's eyes, Master Fuyao was always just a child and was nothing to worry about.
In addition, he also had information about Wang Wu's relatives. Wang Wu, does he dare to act rashly?
Thinking of this, Feng Quli talked even more eloquently.
The more Ying Zheng listened, the more nonsense he felt, and he couldn't help but sneered.
This sneer was like a basin of cold water poured down on Duotou, making Feng Quli shiver.
He looked at Ying Zheng cautiously.
Ying Zheng's face was expressionless, as if the sneer just now was not from him.
He said calmly: "Go on."
Feng Quili said bravely: "Yes."
He began to continue speaking, but that sneer just now was like a big stone in his heart. The more Feng Quli thought about it, the more wrong he felt. The rest of his words were weak and weak, and he no longer felt confident.
Your Majesty...why are you laughing? Are you happy to hear about my military exploits?
No, if he was happy, why did he only laugh once?
That was clearly a sarcastic sneer.
Why is Your Majesty sneering? Does he know everything about me? That shouldn't be the case. The barbarian country is thousands of miles away from Xianyang City. How could your Majesty know?
Could it be that Your Majesty believes Wang Wu’s diary but not me?
That's even more impossible. I am a censor and an important minister in the court. How could your majesty believe the words of a pawn instead of me?
Besides, Wang Wu has been bribed by me and will not talk nonsense. What's more, His Majesty probably hasn't summoned Wang Wu yet, at least I haven't heard any relevant news...
Feng Quli was so distraught that he recounted his great achievements in a distracted manner.
Ying Zheng, on the other hand, felt sleepy and impatient.
After finally waiting for Feng Quli to finish speaking, Ying Zheng nodded, smiled and said: "Very good. You go ahead."
Feng Quli: "..."
He looked at Ying Zheng blankly: "Is this the end?"
My mouth is dry when I talk about it, and I rack my brains when I make it up. Is this the end? Dismissed with one sentence?
But Ying Zheng had already stood up and left.
Feng Quli wandered around here for a while, then walked out in despair.
When he was about to leave the palace, Feng Quli turned his head and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Huh? Isn't this little eunuch the one who sent him the letter?
Feng Quili couldn't remember his name, but he knew that since this man could send him a letter, he must not be a bad person.
Moreover, this person vaguely seemed to have mentioned that he was a friend of a friend of his butler's son.
In short, this person is somewhat related to me, so rounding it off, he can be considered his own.
So Feng Quili walked over quickly and said loudly: "Stay, stay."
The person in front is none other than Xiao Yi.
He heard Feng Quili calling him, so he turned around and walked over.
Feng Quli said politely as soon as possible: "Excuse me..."
Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "What do you want to ask, sir?"
Feng Quili suddenly didn't know how to speak.
Yes, what do you want to ask? Ask Ying Zheng why he is so cold to himself?
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Sir, why don't you think about it carefully?"
Feng Quili coughed dryly and said to Xiao Yi, "Do you know what happened outside?"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but laugh: "What you're asking is interesting. How can I know what's happening outside when I'm in the palace all day long? You should go out and see for yourself."
Feng Quli was silent for a while, organized his words, and then said quietly: "What I'm asking about is not what happened outside, but what happened outside and what was reported to the palace."
Xiao Yi said: "What your Majesty wants to ask is what did your Majesty hear?"
Feng Quili nodded slowly.
Xiao Yi said: "If you want to know, your master will naturally tell you everything you know."
Feng Quili nodded with satisfaction.
However, Xiao Yi did not tell him.
Xiao Yi was staring at him with good eyes.
Feng Quili looked at Xiao Yi in confusion: "Why...why didn't you say anything?"
Xiao Yi said helplessly: "Sir, I got aphthous sores two days ago. My mouth hurts so much. The more anxious I am, the more I can't say anything. Alas, I originally wanted to go see a doctor, but I am short of money. I... …”
Feng Quili was a little angry. Of course he knew what Xiao Yi meant.
But... Xiao Yi had already plundered all his money before. Now I can't get any money out of my body.
Feng Quli said to Xiao Yi: "I don't have any money now. Later..."
A look of disapproval suddenly appeared on Xiao Yi's face: "In the future? Who knows when it will be in the future? Besides, do you still have a future?"
When Feng Quli saw Xiao Yi not speaking, he felt a little annoyed: "What? Can't we know the news without money?"
Xiao Yi coughed dryly: "That's not true. It's just that I just thought of... there is something called an IOU."
Feng Quli: "..."
He took a deep breath, held back his anger and said, "Bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "It's not that troublesome. Shangjun Courtyard has developed a new pen that is very easy to carry. It's called an ink pen."
Then, Xiao Yi took out a small and exquisite pen.
This brush looks very similar, with a transparent cap.
Xiao Yi pointed to the long pen tube and introduced: ""You can store ink in it and use it whenever you write. Convenient and fast, saving the time of dipping in ink.
Feng Queli said quietly: "So?"
Xiao Yi coughed dryly and said: "So, if you want to write an IOU, you can just use this kind of pen. You don't have to look for pen, ink, paper and inkstone anymore. This kind of pen is not expensive, you only need..."
Feng Quili suddenly said doubtfully: "Aren't you the enemy of the banished immortal?"
Xiao Yi hummed: "This slave is indeed the enemy of the Banished Immortal. The Banished Immortal once killed my close friend Ji Ming."
"But! I am also your Majesty's. Shangjun Courtyard also has shares in your Majesty's business. I am not helping the banished immortal to sell his pen. I am helping your Majesty to be loyal."
Feng Quili was a little confused: "This logic... doesn't seem to have much of a problem."
Xiao Yi said to Feng Quli: "So, sir...this..."
Feng Quili sighed, nodded and said, "That's all, do you have any paper?"
Xiao Yi took out a piece of paper, and Feng Quli wrote ten pieces of gold on it.
Xiao Yi sighed, put away the paper, and muttered: "No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat."
These words almost made Feng Qu lose his energy: What do you mean? Ten pieces of gold, do you think you are a fly?
He couldn't wait to take the IOU back immediately.
However, flirting with a eunuch is really beneath his status.
Moreover, this person is someone close to the emperor. Once he offends him, it will be very troublesome if he stirs up trouble in front of the emperor.
Especially now is a critical period for Feng Quli, so we must not be careless.
Just wait, when he makes a comeback in the future, he must be good-looking.
Feng Quli thought secretly in his heart.
Feng Qu suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Xiao Yi as pleasantly as possible: "Excuse me, what does the palace know?"
Xiao Yi said: "The news in the palace is divided into two parts. The first part is the news published in major newspapers."
"For example, Xianyang Daily, General's tabloid, Confucian's daily, etc. Your Majesty likes to read them all."
Feng Quli nodded.
Xiao Yi said in passing: "The other part is the information that His Majesty ordered people to secretly inquire about."
Feng Quli suddenly concentrated his attention. What he really paid attention to was this part of the news.
However, Xiao Yi said with some embarrassment: "Unfortunately, I am too humble to get this information."
Feng Quli: "..."
He looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief: "You don't know?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
Feng Quili said even more unbelievably: "Since you don't know, how dare you ask for my gold?"
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "I just thought that ten pieces of gold is just a drop in the bucket for adults. I didn't expect that adults are so frugal and value these ten pieces of gold so much. If so, then..."
Xiao Yi took out the IOU, handed it to Feng Queli and said, "In that case, please take it away."
Feng Quili cursed in his mind: "We've already talked about this, how can I take it away?"
He sighed: "That's all, you can keep it for yourself."
Xiao Yi immediately thanked him and put it away happily.
Feng Quili shook his head and walked out of the palace a little lonely.
At the same time, Feng Jia was also a little lonely, because the Immortal Bank had just received news that they, Feng Jia, could no longer lend money.
Not only are loans no longer available, but the huge interest accrued on arrears has begun to show its power.
