Li Shui had already reached the palace gate, but he had been hiding nearby and did not go out.

Because Wang Jian was kneeling there, it might be dangerous if he went out rashly.

Although Wang Jian is old, he is a military commander after all. Although he is asking for forgiveness, what if something is wrong and I go crazy and suddenly hit him like this while he is passing by, wouldn't it be bad?

I am a person who wants to do great things, but I cannot capsize in this kind of gutter.

Li Xin was waiting impatiently beside him and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, how about I borrow a set of armor for you?"

Li Shui said: "No need."

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief and thought: "He finally wants to show off."

Who would have thought that Li Shui then said: "The armor is too heavy, and you can't run fast even if you wear it."

Li Xin: "..."

At this time, Ji Ming limped over. He was worried and wanted to leave the palace to find out the news.

Now that Wang Li is dead and Wang Ben has been arrested, the future of the Wang family is very unclear. Should I find another backer?

Who should I look for? Lord Li Si? Lord Zhao Gao? Lord Wang Wan? Lord Chunyu Yue?

Ji Ming thought about the Manchu Gongqing over and over again and hesitated.

At this time, he looked up and saw Li Shui and Li Xin. These two people were also looking directly at him.

As soon as Ji Ming saw Li Shui, his buttocks couldn't help but hurt.

Li Shui smiled and asked, "Where are you going?"

Ji Ming carefully bowed and said, "Leave the palace and take a walk."

Li Shui chuckled: "Please do it."

Ji Ming walked past Li Shui cautiously and was relieved when he saw that he didn't make any big moves.

However, just as Ji Ming was relieved, he heard Li Shui shouting from behind: "Huai Guzi has left the palace."

Ji Ming was startled and thought to himself: "You leave the palace as soon as you leave the palace. Are you shouting like this?"

At the same time, a loud shout came from Ji Ming's ears, and a figure rushed towards him.

It's Wang Jian.

Wang Jian, who was already kneeling on the ground, was dizzy and in a trance. When he heard the three words Huaiguzi, his blood suddenly surged and he staggered to his feet.

Wang Jian stood up suddenly, feeling like the world was spinning. His eyes were blurry, and he saw a figure walking out of the palace gate, and he subconsciously thought that this was Huaiguzi.

Wang Jian had a copper hammer in his hand, and he couldn't help but smash it at Ji Ming.

Ji Ming was so frightened that he screamed and tried to avoid it. However, he was still hit in the leg by the hammer and he screamed and fell to the ground.

Wang Jian held the bronze hammer and cursed breathlessly: "I have been a general for three generations and have contributed to the Qin Dynasty. My son and my grandson have been framed by you. Even if I teach you a lesson today, I don't think your majesty will blame you."

Then, Wang Jian jumped on Ji Ming and hit him with a hammer.

It can be seen that Wang Jian struck very carefully and did not hit the fatal place. It seemed that he only wanted to hit people to vent his anger, not to kill anyone.

Li Xin scratched his head and said: "Wang Jian is asking for forgiveness. At this time, he dares to hit people? Is he really that old and stupid?"

Li Shui analyzed: "Wang Jian is actually very smart. He pleads guilty and uses his old age to win the emperor's sympathy, but this is not enough. Beating his enemy severely can show his affection for his beloved son, and the emperor's sympathy must be increased by 30%. Although

He hates me so much, but he can't kill me, he can only beat me up, how pitiful it is? The emperor's sympathy must be increased by 30%. If I were Your Majesty, I would be moved too."

While the two were talking, Ji Ming had been beaten more than twenty times. He screamed and shouted: "I am not Huaiguzi, I am not..."

But Wang Jian couldn't hear it at all. He had been kneeling at the palace gate for several hours, being exposed to the scorching sun for several hours, and his body was on the verge of heatstroke.

Now he was beating Ji Ming emotionally, and his body could no longer bear it.

At this time, Wang Jian was dizzy and his ears were ringing. He tried his best and after the last blow, he fell to the ground with a plop.

When Li Shui saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the palace in a swaggering manner.

Ji Ming was in severe pain all over his body and struggled to stand up, but as soon as his right leg hit the ground, he immediately felt a heartbreaking pain. This leg was probably broken.

Li Shui bent down and said with a surprised look on his face: "Ji Ming, why did you fight with General Wang? The old general has outstanding achievements. If you beat him to death, you will probably be killed."

Ji Ming's face suddenly turned pale.

Li Shui and Li Xin paid no attention to Ji Ming, but got on the carriage with a smile and rushed to Shangjun Courtyard.

In the past, Shangjun Courtyard was deserted and deserted, with few people coming here.

But today, it was a crowded place with many people coming in and out in an endless stream.

Li Shui hurriedly called a craftsman over and asked, "How many tickets were collected today?"

Takuto was a little dazed: "What ticket?"

Li Shui scolded: "Idiot! Don't you need to charge a ticket to visit Shangjun Courtyard?"

The craftsman hesitated and said: "These people are here to give gifts."

Li Shui became even more angry: "Don't those who give gifts need to charge tickets? They are asking me for help. They are willing to give you whatever you charge."

The craftsman had no choice but to agree and asked cautiously: "Is one hundred thousand dollars too much?"

Li Shui said calmly: "It's not much, just go ahead and collect it. By the way, who gave me the gift?"

The craftsman scratched his head: "The villains are illiterate, and their gifts have greeting notes on them."

Li Shui waved his hand and sent the craftsman away.

He and Li Xin entered Shangjun's courtyard. Li Xin found a jar of wine and poured himself some wine. Li Shui started to look at the gifts.

There were just some gold and silver jewelry on the left and right, and Li Shui didn't have much interest in them. Money was just a bunch of numbers, and Li Shui didn't like money. His focus was on the person giving the gift.

Some of these gifts were given by Mr. Wu, some were given by Mr. Zhao, and some were given by Mr. Zhang.

Li Shui didn't know any of them.

"To be courteous for nothing is to be either a traitor or a thief. You are such a good person, why are you giving me a gift?" Li Shui was a little confused.

At this time, a man walked in from outside, bowed and said, "I know the reason."

Li Shui looked up and saw that it was Zhou Qingchen.

Zhou Qingchen said: "These people are not part of the Wang family, and they have no grudges against Master Huai. Moreover, they have no backers in the court. A few days ago when they were harvesting Sumai, these people were bewitched by the Wang family. They added insult to injury and wrote slanderous memorials.

Mr. Huai, I want to get promoted through this."

"They never thought that Master Huai would win and Wang Li would die. They were afraid, worried that Master Huai would cause trouble for them. So they gave them gifts to ask for forgiveness."

Li Shui suddenly realized: "That's it."

Zhou Qingchen asked curiously: "I wonder, Master Huai, how do you plan to deal with them?"

Li Shui said to Zhou Qingchen: "I see that you are literate and talented. How about you do something for me?"

Zhou Qingchen was overjoyed: "I will let you be driven by your Majesty."

Li Shui snorted: "If you let the wind go, say that I will only forgive the ten most sincere people. Before tomorrow's court meeting, whoever has the most sincerity, I, Huai Guzi, will let go of our past feud with him."

Zhou Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then racked his brains and praised: "Master Huai, you are so magnanimous."

Li Xin almost spit out his wine: "Brother Huai is such a shameless person."

Seeing Zhou Qingchen turning to leave, Li Xin stopped him again and said: "When you spread the news, by the way, I am Huai Guzi's best friend. Brother Huai will take my opinions into consideration. Also, my last

She likes swords and famous horses, and my wife likes jewelry the most."

Zhou Qingchen was choked for a moment, and it took him a while to say: "Master Li dotes on his wife, and the love between husband and wife is deep, which is enviable and admirable."

That night, many people didn't sleep.

The group of courtiers gave gifts to Li Shui like a competition. They often did not dare to leave after giving gifts. They had to wait at the gate of Shang Jun's courtyard to see what others gave. Seeing that their own gifts were not enough,

Just go back quickly and bring some more treasures.

Li Shui looked at the gold and silver jewelry and said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, look at how many treasures these princes, generals and ministers have accumulated. If they were distributed to the poor, I don't know how many people could fill their stomachs."

"

Li Xin asked: "Are you planning to break up?"

Li Shui coughed dryly and said: "It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish. I plan to replace it with fertile farmland and vigorously promote my farming method."

Li Shui and Li Xin chatted for a while, then went to see Cang Fu and Wang Laoshi.

These two people have woken up, but they are still a little weak. It is estimated that they will be able to get out of bed after a few days of rest.

There was no words for the whole night. The next day, Li Shui dressed up, got into the carriage, and prepared to go to court.

When he walked out of the gate of Shangjun's courtyard, he saw that there were still courtiers making a last-ditch effort, ordering their family members to bring gifts to make amends.

"Alas, everyone in the world doesn't understand me. I, Li Shui, am a person who will retaliate for my anger and care about everything?" Li Shui shook his head: "Forget it, let them think what they think. Isn't it a gentleman if you don't know something but don't feel embarrassed?"

…………

At the entrance of the government hall, hundreds of officials gathered there, whispering to each other.

Li Shui and Li Xin arrived late. As soon as they arrived, the officials fell silent.
