I walked around the palace today, said a few words casually, and earned 100,000 yuan.

Li Shui said: It’s pretty good.

Li Xin, who had watched the whole scene, felt that most of his life had been in vain.

The two of them were idle and planned to leave the palace and go home. But when they walked to the palace gate, they saw an acquaintance.

Outside the palace gate, Gao Jianli was waiting in the corner. He felt pain everywhere in his body. When he saw Li Shui coming out, he weakly shouted: "Exiled Immortal."

Li Shui glanced at him and said in confusion: "Are you still here? Why don't you run away?"

Gao Jianli said breathlessly: "After being tortured, there is not a single piece of good flesh from my buttocks to my buttocks. The pain is unbearable. I want to leave, but I can't move even an inch."

Li Shui was a little helpless, pointed to the carriage and said, "Come up, I'll take you back."

When Gao Jianli heard this, he was overjoyed, climbed into the carriage with difficulty, and thanked him repeatedly.

Li Shui did not ride with Gao Jianli, but gave a few instructions to the coachman and then rode away with Li Xin.

The carriage swayed, Gao Jianli lay on it, and gradually a wave of tiredness came over him. He didn't sleep last night, and today he went to the palace to see the emperor again, and then received a beating. His spirit had been tense. Now he finally relaxed,

So he fell asleep in a daze.

Gao Jianli didn't know how long he had slept. When he woke up, he found that the carriage was parked in front of a mansion.

Gao Jianli took a look and said with admiration: "Is this the legendary Shangjun Courtyard?"

The driver helped him down and said, "This is not Shangjun's residence, this is Tian Jing's residence."

When Gao Jianli heard this, he struggled to climb onto the carriage again: "Wrong, wrong. I'm going to Shang Jun's Courtyard, not here."

The coachman said: "My master has signed a document with Tian Jing and transferred you to him. Don't worry, Mr. Gao, in two months, when the contract expires, you will be free."

Gao Jianli tried his best to crawl into the carriage, thinking as he climbed: "Two more months? Free? I deliberately played randomly today, which caused Tian Jing to get beaten severely. When I just left the palace, I heard him say

I cursed endlessly. If I really entered the field, I would definitely die without a burial place. It would be fine if I died in the hands of the emperor, but how could I be willing to die in the hands of such a person?"

The coachman dragged him down and said: "Mr. Gao, the most important thing for a man to banish an immortal is to keep his word. Now that the document has been agreed upon, we must abide by it. If you refuse to go in, where will the banished immortal's face be?"

Gao Jianli suspected that he had heard wrongly: banished an immortal to keep his word? Banished an immortal to save face?

He sighed and said to the coachman earnestly: "Tian Jing didn't know that I had left the palace. What's more, he spent a lot of money to invite me here just to present me to the emperor. Now I have no use to Tian Jing.

.As long as I don’t show up, he won’t look for me.”

"Please, brother, take me back to Shangjun's courtyard. I will explain the misunderstanding to the banished immortal."

Gao Jianli had already thought about it while waiting outside the palace. He had nowhere to go now. In another moment or so, Jing Fu would receive the news. How could he let him go by then?

When he was needed to assassinate Qin, Jing Fu would call him sir and a righteous man, but when he gave up on assassinating Qin, Jing Fu would think he was a traitor and worry about him revealing his secrets.

Can the traitor's fate be cured?

Even if Jing Fu doesn't kill him, many dignitaries in Xianyang City also know him. These people are very smart and will probably guess his identity soon. How will they protect themselves by then?

Therefore, the only safe place is Shang Jun's other courtyard. This person, Ban Xian, is extremely powerful, bold, and lawless.

He knew that he was a rebel before and sent himself to the palace in order to make money. Just now he had no use value, but he did not kill anyone. This shows that the banished immortal did not intend to kill him.

Thinking of this, Gao Jianli grabbed the carriage and didn't want to leave anymore.

The coachman was a little helpless and said: "Mr. Gao, aren't you making things difficult for me? I am just an ordinary Guizhou man who became a craftsman by chance. It was easy for the whole family to have enough to eat, but you are...

Come and harm me.”

Gao Jianli touched his body, took out some jewelry, and stuffed it into the coachman's arms.

These jewels are still gifts given to the rich and powerful when they listen to music.

The coachman weighed the jewelry, feeling secretly happy. Then he sighed and said, "That's all. I'll risk my life to send Master Gao on his way."

After arriving at the Shangjun Courtyard, the gatekeeper Niu Dao looked businesslike and asked Gao Jianli for 100,000 yuan for the entrance fee.

Gao Jianli used jewelry to pay off the debt.

Niu Dao collected the jewelry and opened the door with satisfaction. But just when Gao Jianli was about to go in, Niu Dao suddenly looked like he had realized something: "Aren't you a traitor to Gao Jianli?"

Gao Jianli was startled: "How does he know me?"

Niu Calf quickly closed the door and said, "You can't go in. It's a capital crime to harbor rebels."

Gao Jianli was so anxious that he took out a lot of jewelry.

Niu Calf sighed: "That's all, the villain will risk his own life to let you in."

After Gao Jianli entered, he met five farmers and six aunts. Everyone recognized him accurately and wanted to drive him out of Shangjun Courtyard. Gao Jianli could only keep spreading his wealth, hoping

They are tight-lipped.

At the same time, Gao Jianli became more and more confused: "Is it known to the whole world that I want to assassinate Qin? How come even a woman who doesn't leave home recognizes me?"

Suddenly, the yellow dog jumped out and grabbed Gao Jianli with excitement on his face: "Aren't you a rebel Gao Shali?"

Gao Jianli was already numb, and he bowed and said, "Yes, this is Gao Jianli." He went for the jewelry, but missed it.

Along the way, the family wealth has been dispersed. This is a treasure that has been rewarded by the powerful in the past few days. I thought it was inexhaustible in my life, but I didn't expect that it was completely emptied out just a quarter of an hour after arriving at Shang Jun's Villa.

Huang Gou saw Gao Jianli's troubled face and asked with some anxiety: "No more?"

Gao Jianli said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Now that Gao is penniless, I hope that I can show my kindness."

Gao Jianli originally thought that the yellow dog would be unyielding and would take him to see the officials, or at the worst, drive him out.

Who would have thought that the yellow dog searched Gao Jianli's body with an unbelievable look on his face, and after confirming that he had nothing, he said with a sad face: "It was me at Yan Le's house last time, why is it me again this time? What a bad luck."

Then he turned around and walked to a bundle of dry firewood and continued to chop wood.

Gao Jianli was a little confused: "What does this mean?"

After a few breaths, Li Shui appeared by coincidence and invited Gao Jianli in enthusiastically.

Gao Jianli looked around and found that Li Xin was also in the room.

He suddenly came back to his senses and said to Li Shui: "Master Banished Immortal, did you originally want to bring Gao here, but you deliberately sent some people along the way to take away my money?"

Li Shui glared and said, "How dare you question my character?"

Gao Jianli thought to himself: Didn't you admit it yourself before? You are shameless.

Li Shui pointed to the wine glass in front of Gao Jianli and said, "You are slandering me for no reason. I will punish you with a drink."

Gao Jianli had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and then his eyes watered.

Li Shui chuckled and said: "Brother Gao, now you are a rebel. I leave you in Shangjun Courtyard. I don't know how much risk I have taken. Shouldn't you have a drink and express your apology?"

Gao Jianli drank another drink.

Li Xin picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Gao, let me toast you."

Gao Jianli drank twice as much.

Li Shui and Li Xin looked at each other and asked Gao Jianli, "Are you faint?"

Gao Jianli nodded and said, "A little bit."

Li Shui asked tentatively: "Do you have any accomplices in assassinating the emperor?"

Gao Jianli was stunned for a moment, and said quietly: "So the banished immortal called me here to interrogate these things? Gao can not assassinate Qin, he can live an ignoble life, but he cannot betray others. Otherwise, how is he different from an animal?"

Li Xin muttered: "It seems you are not drunk yet."

He raised his glass and said, "Brother Gao said well, let's have another drink."

Next, Li Shui and Li Xin, one played a good role and the other played a bad role. They poured a lot of wine into Gao Jianli. However, Gao Jianli never said who his accomplices were.

Li Xin was a little helpless: "Could it be that we have encountered a wine master?"

Li Shui said: "It's not necessarily true. Some people will speak the truth after drinking and talk too much. Some people rarely talk after drinking, and the more they drink, the more taciturn they become. I think Gao Jianli is probably the latter.

kind."

While the two were talking, they heard snoring. When they turned their heads, Gao Jianli had already fallen asleep.

Li Shui said a little helplessly: "There is no way, this kind of people are like this, they sleep after drinking too much."

Li Xin sighed: "In this case, we can only torture him severely."

Li Shui waved his hand and said: "Torture is unreliable. He may deliberately recruit innocent people to confuse the public. I have a faster way, let's analyze it. Anyone who has the ability to forge a test for Gao Jianli must be powerful.

These people have a close relationship with the local magistrates. Even if they don't wear a good pair of trousers, their influence is still there after all. Therefore, his accomplices must be one of the powerful."

"Let's test out those powerful people and we should be able to find out."

Li Xin asked in confusion: "How to test?"

Li Shui said with a smile: "There are still a few hours until dark, let's go into the city to test it out."

…………

In the evening, the Banishing Immortal Tower suddenly announced: It is not easy for the banished immortals to travel all the way to see the powerful people from Guandong, so they ordered that the immortal wine is half price today. Only the powerful people from Guandong are allowed to drink, and only today, until dark.

As soon as the news came out, many powerful people came.

As soon as they arrived, they were invited to a luxurious box on the second floor. They were each in a quiet and elegant room.
