Li Xin wanted to persuade Zhao Teng again, but Li Shui waved his hand and said, "That's all, since Brother Zhao is not interested, then I won't force it."
"I wanted to give Brother Zhao a fortune, but since Brother Zhao has no intention of doing so, let's go."
Zhao Teng smiled and said: "Wealth? Go to Qi Mansion to give me wealth?"
Li Shui nodded.
Zhao Teng said with disdain: "Master Huai, is it so natural for you to trick people now?"
"The Qi Mansion has just been settled by you and me. You and I know very well how everyone in the Qi Mansion feels. Let's not talk about wealth first. Now go to the Qi Mansion and be careful of others sending knives behind your back."
"Speaking of wealth, if there is real wealth, it has nothing to do with Mr. Qi. If he really has that ability, he won't be eating chaffy vegetables and dismissing his servants now."
Li Xin asked in confusion: "Dismissal of servants? When did it happen?"
Zhao Teng said calmly: "Just today, I received the news early in the morning."
Li Shui and Li Xin were both surprised. They didn't expect that Qi Mansion was in such a bad situation now. They thought that a skinny camel was bigger than a horse, so Lord Qi should be able to maintain the status quo.
Unexpectedly, they have reached the point where they have to eat chaffy vegetables and dismiss their servants.
Yes, after all, the Qi Mansion is now headed by Mr. Qi and the Wu family, so it can save money by dismissing some of the servants.
Li Shui bowed his hand to Zhao Teng, and then left with Li Xin.
Zhao Teng was very confused as to whether he should go to Qi Mansion to gloat or apologize. Neither was appropriate. The best way was to disappear.
Zhao Teng shook his head and sighed in his heart: Huaiguzi is still young, and he still needs to learn and practice more in the way of being an official.
Zhao Teng didn't know what Huaiguzi was up to. He had just been tricked by Huaiguzi at Shangjun Courtyard some time ago, so it was better to keep a distance.
Li Shui and Li Xin got in the car, and Li Xin asked in confusion: "Why did you remember that you were going to Qi Mansion, and you wanted to drag Zhao Teng with you? Do you want to drag Zhao Teng along with you and get scolded?"
Li Shui rolled his eyes at Li Xin and said, "Why do you want me to go to Qi Mansion and be scolded?"
Li Xin smiled and said: "I don't hope, but this is the fact. If you go to the Qi Mansion now and don't get a cold look from Mr. Qi, it only means that Mr. Qi is already mad."
Li Shui smiled and said, "I hope Master Qi is not confused yet."
Li Xin said speechlessly: "I think you are confused."
Li Shui looked out the window and said nothing.
Li Xin thought about something again and said, "What is the wealth you just mentioned?"
Li Shui said calmly: "What do you think?"
Li Xin scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "No matter how much I think about it, I never imagined that Mr. Qi could have anything to do with wealth."
"Not to mention the wealth and honor he can give."
Li Shui said slowly: "You will know then."
Li Xin glared and said, "Brother Huai, if you really have any wealth, you can't forget me."
"Zhao Teng didn't come with you, but I came with you to get scolded. For this reason, I will be rich and noble."
Li Shui narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Li, you are a general of the Qin Dynasty. In terms of status and wealth, you are unmatched by anyone. What else do you think of other wealthy people? Don't be greedy."
Li Xin said slowly: "In terms of status and family wealth, he is indeed a little better than the average person, but if compared with you, Brother Huai, it is only a drop in the bucket."
"If the real culprit is found, I also have a share of the credit."
Li Shui frowned and said, "Brother Li, you can't just take the credit for yourself."
Li Xin curled his lips and said, "Look at those of you who solved the case. The people who assisted you in handling the case have completely forgotten about it."
"You forgot that that day when Ji Ming called you to go to His Majesty's study, I brought you the account books of the Ouspens Tavern."
"This is part of the investigation process and always has to be reckoned with."
Li Shui was helpless. He didn't expect that Li Xin could still remember things so clearly that he had almost forgotten.
Besides, this matter has nothing to do with finding out the murder of Butler Wang.
Li Xin continued: "Anyway, I have contributed to this matter. You mentioned Zhao Teng's name in the Council Hall but didn't mention me. You should give me some compensation."
Li Xin smiled at Li Shui and said, "I don't ask for any compensation. When wealth comes, just let me get some of it."
Seeing how persistent Li Xin was, Li Shui agreed.
Li Shui said: "The key lies with Master Qi. If Master Qi doesn't cooperate when the time comes, you have to persuade me more.
Li Xin nodded in understanding.
Li Xin was a smart man. He didn't care what he wanted to do in advance. When he heard about the prospect of wealth, he quickly agreed.
If they were like Zhao Teng, they might not even be able to drink the soup once they knew the whole story.
This is the experience gained from following Huaiguzi for a long time. The things Huaiguzi is sure about, especially the things about making a fortune, are absolutely correct. To put it bluntly, this is how he started his career.
Li Xin was very happy. Now he wanted to go to Zhao Mansion first and mock Zhao Teng in person. No wonder he couldn't hold his head up in front of his wife.
He is not good at anything, he is the first to spend money, and he goes to Shangjun's courtyard from time to time. He doesn't get a penny, but he still owes money and has people come to his door.
On the other hand, Li Xin made a lot of money. Li Xin's wife is not something ordinary people can see now. After all, there are too many people who want to see her.
Just as he was talking, Li Shui and Li Xin had already arrived at the door of Qi Mansion.
In the past, there would be two servants standing at the door of Qi Mansion. Now the door is closed tightly and the servants at the door have disappeared.
Li Shui sighed and said: "It seems that some servants have been dismissed, and even the servants at the door have been evacuated."
Li Xin nodded and said, "I don't know what the situation is in Qi Mansion."
Li Shui stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response. After knocking three more times, someone came and opened the door.
Li Shuigong cupped his hands and said to the servant who came: "Please tell Mr. Qi that Zhao Teng from the Internal Affairs Bureau is here to see Mr. Qi."
The servant looked at Li Shui and felt that Li Shui looked familiar but could not remember who it was, but this person was definitely not Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao had been here several times and had some impressions.
The servant looked to the side and asked, "Where is Mr. Zhao?"
Li Shui was stunned and thought: I wanted to pretend to be Zhao Teng and let Mr. Qi come to see me. If I talked about myself, Mr. Qi probably wouldn't let him into the hospital. Unexpectedly, this person actually recognized Zhao Teng's appearance and found that he was not .
Li Shui had an idea, pointed to the car behind him and said, "Mr. Zhao is in the car. Go and report to you, Mr. Qi. Don't delay this important event."
When the servant heard this, he thought it was really a big deal and he couldn't afford it, so he turned around and went back in a hurry.
Li Xin smiled and said: "Brother Huai, you are really here, and you actually pretended to be Zhao Teng. Could it be that just by saying Zhao Teng's name, Lord Qi can come out to see you?"
Li Shui said: "If you directly tell me that I am here, Lord Qi will definitely think that I am here to see him having fun, and he probably won't give me the opportunity to enter the mansion."
"If it is Zhao Teng, after all, he is the official of the Internal Affairs Bureau and holds an important position. When Master Qi hears that he is coming, he will definitely feel that there is something important and will not turn him away."
Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother Huai, you are still smarter."
