Ji Ming pouted, feeling helpless.
He has no complaints against Ying Zheng. After all, Ying Zheng's image has been deeply ingrained in his bones.
He just pitied Ying Zheng for being deceived by the sweet words of the villain Huai Guzi. It didn't matter if he got beaten up by himself. If Huai Guzi was reprimanded, he would be willing to get beaten up ten times.
Ji Ming came outside the hall and lay down on the bench very skillfully. The executioner and Ji Ming seemed to have a tacit understanding. After Ji Ming adjusted his posture, the executioner spanked Ji Ming's buttocks one by one. .
Ji Ming remained silent. Although he gritted his teeth and insisted, big beads of sweat still flowed down.
Li Shui and Li Xin were walking towards the palace gate.
Li Shui frowned and said, "Brother Li, did you hear anything?"
Li Xin listened with his ears pricked up, nodded and said, "It seems to be the sound of hitting a wooden board."
Li Shui smiled and said, "I wonder which unlucky guy made His Majesty angry."
Li Xin asked doubtfully: "Is it Lu Yi and Wu Shi who are being beaten?"
Li Shui thought so at first, but when he looked back, he saw Lu Yi and others coming out of Ying Zheng's study from a distance.
Li Shui thought for a while and smiled: "I know."
Li Xin asked: "Who is it?"
Li Shui said: "Who else could it be? Ji Ming. In this palace, the only one who treats being slapped with a plank as a daily routine is Ji Ming. He is the only one who has the most experience with the plank and won't cry out in pain."
Li Xin smiled and said: "When I was in His Majesty's study, I saw the way Ji Ming was hesitant to speak. I guess when we came out, I couldn't help but say bad things about you and was reprimanded by Your Majesty."
Li Shui laughed: If there was no one like Ji Ming in this palace, the executioner would probably be unemployed.
As he was talking, Zhao Teng was in front, followed closely by Lu Yi and Wu Shi, who were led by eunuchs.
Zhao Teng walked over slowly and saw Li Shui and Li Xin. He was very angry. It had been so long since these two people came out of His Majesty's study. Why hadn't they left the palace yet?
Could it be that you are waiting here on purpose to see my joke? This Huaiguzi is really a villain.
Zhao Teng wanted to ignore Li Shui and walk straight over, but how could Li Shui miss the opportunity to talk to his good brother.
Li Shui stopped Zhao Teng, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhao, we are not in a hurry to solve the case right now, so why are we walking so fast?"
"Brother Zhao is no longer responsible for the mysterious death of the housekeeper of Qi Mansion."
"Besides, the Wu family's problem has basically been clarified. It's okay to go back and draw up a conclusion and present it to His Majesty."
Zhao Teng snorted coldly: "Sir Huai, even if it is a small matter, it still requires a lot of effort."
Li Shui said slowly: "Brother Zhao is so serious and responsible, but he still suffers a loss. Sometimes being serious and responsible is a good thing, but it is also important to be cautious."
Zhao Teng was already feeling aggrieved after being criticized by Ying Zheng, and now he was also ridiculed by Li Shui, which made him even more angry.
Zhao Teng stared at Li Shui and said, "Huai Guzi, I don't need you to teach me a lesson, huh."
After saying that, Zhao Teng turned and walked towards the palace gate.
Li Xin smiled at Li Shui and said, "Brother Huai, Zhao Teng was already angry, but you still said those words. Now it's better and the anger is gone."
Li Shui smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, Brother Zhao will be waiting for us."
Li Xin asked in confusion: "Wait for us? I'm afraid they will hide somewhere to do evil things to you."
Zhao Teng left the palace gate angrily. Just as he was about to get on the car back home, he was blocked by several people.
Zhao Teng shouted: "Who are you?"
The visitor said he was a craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard.
Zhao Teng cursed in his heart: You are such a pagoda millet, but you still dare to send people on the street to stop the imperial officials.
Just wait, I have to sue you before His Majesty. If you still rely on your words and get away with it this time, I, Zhao Teng, will write my name upside down.
Seeing that Zhao Teng lowered his head and said nothing, the craftsman said, "Sir Zhao, Shangjun Courtyard is engaged in small business. When will the arrears be repaid?"
Zhao Teng was speechless: It turned out that I wanted to pay the debt. Huaiguzi really belongs to you. I was blocked at the gate of the palace even if I wanted to pay the debt.
Zhao Teng asked in confusion: "Didn't Huaiguzi already go to my house to get the money? Why do you still want to pay the bill?"
"I want to go find you, Mr. Huai."
The craftsman patiently explained: "Master Zhao, Master Banished Immortal has indeed gone to your mansion to collect the debt."
"But it has been several days since the adult made the purchase and received the debt. Interest during this period still has to be paid."
Zhao Teng frowned and asked, "Interest? No one told me there is interest."
The craftsman said: "If you default on repayment, interest will naturally accrue. As an internal historian, don't you know it clearly?"
Zhao Teng felt that he had been despised. It didn't matter that he was despised by Huai Guzi. What right did the servants of Shang Jun's Courtyard have to despise me? It was so presumptuous.
Zhao Teng cleared his throat and said: "Of course I know, just tell me, how much interest is owed?"
The craftsman said loudly: "The total is one hundred thousand dollars."
Zhao Teng was stunned and yelled at the craftsman: "You are robbing money. Can the interest generated in a few days be worth 100,000 yuan?"
The craftsman replied: "After all, the amount of consumption is relatively large, more than ten thousand gold."
At this time, Li Shui and Li Xin walked slowly away.
Li Xin saw that Zhao Teng had not left yet, so he smiled and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, Zhao Teng really hasn't left yet. Is he waiting for us?"
Li Shui smiled and said: "Master Zhao's acting style has always been different."
When the craftsmen saw Li Shui, they all ran over to salute Li Shui.
After Zhao Teng saw the innocent-looking Li Shui, he gritted his teeth and said, "Huaiguzi, you are so dark."
After Li Shui heard this, he lowered his head and looked around him, and said doubtfully, "Really? Maybe the sun has been harsh recently."
Zhao Teng said coldly: "I mean, your heart is really dark."
Li Shui understood what Zhao Teng was talking about and said with a smile: "Acting according to the rules of the system is not called blackmail, it is called treating everyone equally."
"Brother Zhao, my wife didn't beat you after I went to your house to withdraw money last time."
Zhao Teng didn't want to pay attention to Li Shui and said casually: "I don't bother you to worry about the matters in my house."
Li Shui smiled and said, "If Madam-in-law knows that Brother Zhao still owes money, I guess Brother Zhao will not be able to escape being beaten."
Zhao Teng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Shui continued: "Brother Zhao, I have a proposal to waive this debt."
When Zhao Teng heard this, he immediately became energetic, but then he frowned and asked, "Do you have such a good intention?"
Li Shui said: "Lv Yi is my person. All you need to do is hand him over to me. It's equivalent to paying 100,000 yuan for Lu Yi's prison sentence. "
Zhao Teng frowned and said, "Huaiguzi, do you want me to know the law and break it?"
Li Shui smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, don't get me wrong. His Majesty also said that Brother Zhao should be convicted and dealt with on his own."
"Besides, even though Lu Yi knowingly committed the crime, he only received a relatively low reward. Even if he was convicted, it would not be a prison sentence. A fine would suffice."
Zhao Teng lowered his head and thought for a while, that was the truth, but he always felt that Huaiguzi was plotting against him.
Zhao Teng asked: "Lu Yi is a member of the Wu family. When did he become yours?"
Li Shui smiled and said, "Just last night."
Lu Yi behind him looked at Li Shui gratefully. He came to Xianyang City to work, and almost became a prisoner if not for the recognition of the banished immortal. Unexpectedly, he actually entered Shang Jun's Villa.
Lu Yi just knelt down in front of Li Shui, hugged Li Shui's thigh and cried.
Li Shui turned to look at Lu Yi and gave him an affirmative look.
