The next day, Wu Yue sent up the memorial to impeach Zhao Teng. During the court meeting, Ying Zheng ordered the young eunuch to read the memorial.

This memorial is very interesting. It begins by praising Li Shui, saying that Li Shui was magnanimous and did not intend to kill Ma Lingshu after winning the bet.

In line with the principle that God has a good life, Li Shui treated Ma Lingshu well in Shangjun Courtyard.

After Ma Lingshu was brought to Shangjun's Courtyard, Li Shui shouted back, personally untied Ma Lingshu and led him to drink.

Ma Lingshua was so moved that he burst into tears and fell to the ground, saying that he would be a cow or a horse for Li Shui. Li Shui smiled slightly and said how could he insult the courtiers? If Master Ma didn't dislike him, they could make friends.

Ma Lingshua cried loudly, saying that his life was useless and useless. It wasn't until he met Huai Guzi and saw Master Huai's noble integrity that he felt that his life was worthwhile.

The two drank and talked happily, and then Ma Lingshua suggested that they go to the women's house to have fun and enhance their relationship.

But Li Shuijie took care of himself and politely declined. So he ordered several craftsmen from Shangjun's courtyard to take Mr. Ma to visit the daughter's house.

Who would have thought that as soon as he reached the gate of Shangjun's courtyard, an assassin would assassinate Mr. Ma on the spot.

Next, in the memorial, Zhao Teng was cursed. He was said to be an incompetent person who did not seek merit but no fault. He was said to be mediocre and had only the kindness of a woman and no power of punishment. The assassin dared to commit murder in the streets of the capital.

, assassinating the minister is simply ridiculous.

Zhao Teng was very depressed after hearing this, and thought to himself: "You Wu Yue, you scolded me like a dog. For such a memorial, how dare you come to my house yesterday to apologize? Are you overestimating my capacity?"

?”

The courtiers who were also part of Wu Yue's group all looked at Wu Yue in stunned silence: "What do you mean? Mr. Wu, you have completely surrendered to Huaiguzi? What about us? We also gave generous gifts and were invited by Huaiguzi to drink at his house. We

Shouldn’t there be some expression as well?”

Zhou Qingchen quietly took out a piece of bamboo from his sleeve, lowered his head and wrote down a few words: "If you flatter me thousands of times, it's better to take action once. Today Wu Yue made a desperate move and boldly gave advice, which shows his sincerity. Brilliant! This person can do it for me."

Master."

As for the other courtiers, they were all still thinking about Wu Yue's praise of Li Shui: "What? Huai Guzi is magnanimous? Inviting Ma Lingshu to drink fairy wine? Inviting Ma Lingshu to go to the female palace? This is simply nonsense, he Wu Yue will not

Blushing?"

"Why does everyone who befriends Huaiguzi become shameless in the end? What is the truth?"

Soon, the little eunuch finished reading. Ying Zheng's face was ashen, obviously very angry.

What he was angry about was not that Wu Yue impeached Zhao Teng, but that the assassin was so arrogant that he dared to assassinate courtiers in broad daylight.

Although Ma Lingshu lost the bet, he would have been dead long ago. But Huaiguzi should have been the one to kill him. If everyone could just follow their own temper, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Teng and said calmly: "The emissary is guilty."

Zhao Teng immediately stood up and confessed. All this was expected by him.

Ying Zheng added: "For ten days, I want you to catch the assassin of that day. Whoever is behind the assassin must be found out by me. Princes, generals, and ministers, there is no need to worry."

Zhao Teng responded excitedly.

He almost laughed out loud, thinking in his heart: "The time you have dreamed of has finally arrived. Although I am a minister, my status is not low. But this is Xianyang City. There are many people in high positions and powerful positions.

Even people with low-level positions often have backers."

"Other courtiers are just fine. They quarreled at court meetings and went home to play chess, calligraphy and painting. What about me? I have to manage the affairs of Xianyang City and deal with these courtiers. Who cares about trivial matters and firewood, rice, oil and salt?

I can’t let it go. I’ve been looking forward and backward all day long, and I’m terribly frustrated. It’s true that I’m your majesty’s confidant, but am I the only one of your majesty’s confidants?”

"Today I finally got it right. I want them to see my skills. It lasts for ten days, and it lasts for ten days. These ten days are backed by His Majesty's strict orders. Who dares to disobey? I want to show my authority and let them know that I, Zhao

Teng is not something to be manipulated at will."

After the court meeting ended, all the officials left one after another.

The courtiers looked at Wu Yue with a hint of fear in their eyes.

This guy has never had a backer, so he managed to maintain his official career by being very cautious in the court. He is usually a quiet and unknown person, and is a good old man.

But now that he had taken refuge with Li Shui, he suddenly turned into an aggressive rooster. For the first impeachment, he chose Zhao Teng, whom His Majesty trusted very much. His words were fierce and unstoppable.

After the courtiers glanced at Wu Yue, they looked at Zhao Teng with fear.

Zhao Teng was impeached today, which is a bit unlucky. However, none of the courtiers felt happy about his misfortune. Instead, they were a little afraid of this person.

Within ten days, we must find the murderer and the person behind the murder. The princes and nobles have no need to worry. With His Majesty’s words, Zhao Teng will definitely search for this person frantically within ten days.

Now, no one wants to offend Zhao Teng, and they don't even dare to look at him. If Zhao Teng becomes suspicious, he will definitely have to go through a lot of trouble.

Zhao Teng saw the reactions of the courtiers and couldn't help but think: "Could it be that I should be more arrogant and domineering like Huai Guzi?"

While he was thinking, he looked at Li Shui.

When Li Shui saw Zhao Teng looking over, he immediately winked at him, and then walked over excitedly, as if he wanted to put their arms around each other.

Zhao Teng panicked in his heart: "It's over, Huaiguzi is going to force me to befriend you? If this person shamelessly starts shouting, I won't be able to escape even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Seeing that Li Shui was approaching, Zhao Teng suddenly became wise and pointed at Li Shui and drank: "Huai Guzi, you ordered Wu Yue to humiliate me in court. This hatred is irreconcilable!"

Then, Zhao Teng waved his sleeves and left.

Li Shui stood there, dumbfounded and could only scratch his head.

Zhao Teng strode out of the palace, and when he got on his carriage, he laughed and said to himself: "You still want to set a trap for me? How can it be that easy?"

…………

Li Shui was not discouraged even if he failed to make friends with Zhao Teng. Sooner or later, he would tidy up these old antiques.

He got on the carriage and returned to Shangjun Courtyard.

Wu Tong was already waiting there. In fact, waiting there were not only Wu Tong, but also the fellows who went to the Huns with him that day, and even the family members who followed Ma Lingshu to file a lawsuit that day.

After Li Shui got out of the car, he looked at the craftsman guarding the door: "Have they all paid?"

The craftsman said: "Hand it over."

Li Shui nodded with satisfaction and asked Wu Tong: "What's the matter?"

Wu Tong gave a quick laugh and said: "Your Majesty, you are such a noble man and forget things. Before you went to the Xiongnu, your Majesty had clearly agreed. If you bring back thousands of good horses and countless cattle and sheep, you will let me participate in your business."

, selling things from the fairy world.”

Li Shui snorted and said, "My memory is not good, and it seems that Shopkeeper Wu's memory is not very good either. As soon as you left, your family members sued me. If it hadn't been for God's blessing, I wouldn't be here now."

My head is gone. Shopkeeper Wu, it’s okay if I don’t cause you any trouble, but you still have the nerve to get involved in my business?”

Wu Tong looked bitter and glared at the family members fiercely.

The family members apologized profusely and begged Li Shui to show his kindness.

Wu Tong also said bravely: "These women and children are ignorant. I hope Master Huai will not argue with them. I mean... I have traveled thousands of miles and brought back cattle and sheep, so I have some merit."

Li Shui said calmly: "During the trip to the Xiongnu, I got 3,000 good horses and 30,000 oxen and sheep. What the shopkeeper Wu brought back was only 30%. I'm afraid this credit will be greatly reduced."

Wu Tong looked bitter, but he didn't know what to say.

He knew Li Shui's temper. Once he got angry, he would kill someone on the spot with a gold medal in one hand and a sword in the other.

But when I think about a golden mountain in front of me, but I can't knock off a piece of it, it's simply worse than death.

So Wu Tong began to talk about how difficult it was for him to be in the Xiongnu, how he narrowly escaped death and almost died.

Finally, Li Shui said helplessly: "That's all, I won't care too much about you. You went to the Xiongnu, and you have all the credit for your hard work, but your family members sued me, which caused me a lot of trouble.

.Do you have any objection to doing business with you and if you take less than half of the shares as punishment?"

Wu Tong said repeatedly: "Absolutely not."

Li Shui added: "You only brought back 30% of the cattle and sheep. Therefore, on the basis of half of the shares, I only give you 30%. Do you have any objection?"

Wu Tong said: "I have absolutely no objection."

What a joke, this is a mountain of gold. No matter how many points it is divided into, a cup of fairy wine costing 100,000 yuan, if divided into 100 parts, is still 1,000 yuan. It is an absolute huge profit.

Li Shui nodded with satisfaction and said: "According to Wang Laoshi's practice, he accounts for 10%. I won't treat you badly, you also account for 10%. But with the previous punishment, you account for half of 10%.

, then multiplied by three tenths. That is..."

Li Shui was counting on his fingers, but Wu Tong next to him had already calculated it and said: "The villain accounts for two to three percent."

Li Shui snorted: "Two and three percent. This number is not easy to remember. Let me take a small loss and make up the whole for you, and you can take one percent."

Wu Tong was stunned: "Is this a loss for you or for me?"

But he didn't have the guts to bargain with Li Shui, so he agreed. Just one percent, just one percent, it was enough to make him rich.

Li Shui said to Cang Fu next to him: "In the next few days, I will talk to Wu Tong and teach him the flour grinding technique. From now on, he will be responsible for buying flour."

Cano agreed.

Li Shui said to Wu Tong: "I am a person who prefers to delegate power. I will not interfere too much in your management. Just give me 99% of the profits. One thing I want to remind you is that I

Check the accounts regularly, if you dare to cheat me, I will not forgive you."

Wu Tong was a little on the verge of tears and thought to himself: "After all, I have become your big accountant."

But then I thought about it, even a 1% profit is enough. There is a lot of potential for grinding noodles. It is much safer than carrying jewelry and risking being killed and robbed by selling it everywhere.
