Chapter 211 Putting a long line to catch big fish
The sun went down, the promotion ended, and Wang Laoshi began to drive people outside.
The powerful people walked out dejectedly, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt they were at a disadvantage. They obviously came for half the price, but in the end, a calf was killed midway, threatening them with secrets, implying that they would give up the money.
Afterwards, the courtiers calculated their accounts and found that the money they spent in the Exorcist Tower today was more than ten times more than usual. The powerful people were a little suspicious that the so-called half price was a trap just to trick them into collecting money.
Many people sighed secretly in their hearts: Banishing the Immortal is such a shameful act, actually using these little secrets to threaten people.
Who in a rich family doesn’t have some secrets? What happened to the ashes? What happened to Longyang Zhihao? What happened to the disharmony between brothers? What happened to not honoring parents? What happened to the money coming from the wrong way? What happened to bullying men and dominating women? Which rich man
Nothing happened yet?
But the powerful people don't dare to get angry. If they offend the shameless Huai Guzi and spread the word to themselves, they will lose their shame.
In fact, the powerful people were also a little doubtful as to how the banished immortal knew about such a secret thing. But after a little weighing, they felt that it was better to believe that it was something than to believe that it was not. It was better to lose money and avoid disaster than to lose everything.
So they forced a smile and tried their best to pretend to be in high spirits after drinking discounted wine, so as not to be noticed by others.
He even praised the banished immortal a few times, saying that he was kind-hearted and kind-hearted.
In this way, when they walked out of the Exorcist Tower, everyone looked at the other heroes and felt that others were very happy, but they were just pretending to be happy. So everyone wailed in their hearts: "Why banish the immortal, just stare at them?"
Are you having sex with me?"
The powerful people got on their carriages one after another, and suddenly the more they thought about it, the more something was wrong. Such secrets were probably spread by the servants at home, so when they saw the driver, they became more and more displeased.
Many people couldn't hold it any longer and kicked the driver directly, cursing: "You're eating the bastard stuff inside and out."
The coachman was terribly wronged, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to go home and scold his wife and beat the children.
All in all, this night, everyone in Haoqiang's family was in a state of ecstasy.
The carriages had all gone, but Jing Fu's coachman was left, waiting outside with a blank look on his face.
The waiter at Banxian Tower told him that Jing Fu was drunk and was trying to sober up, so he would be here in a moment and kindly gave him some rice balls.
The coachman thanked him gratefully and sat on the carriage to devour the food.
At the same time, Jing Fu was being tortured, and the tool was the bamboo ruler Gao Jianli used to build.
After three or five beatings, Jing Fu couldn't stand it anymore and confessed wailing.
From how he got to know Xiang Liang, how he worked for him, what benefits Xiang Liang promised, everything was told.
Li Shui said to Jing Fu: "Don't lie to me. After I go back, I will find Mr. Gao to confirm it. If it is false, you will die miserably."
Jing Sui responded dejectedly. Li Shui carefully observed his expression and found that he was probably not faking it. This coward probably wouldn't have the guts to make a false confession.
Li Xin dragged Li Shui to the door and asked him, "What are you going to do with this Jing Fu?"
Li Shui whispered: "I plan to put a long line and catch big fish."
Li Xin nodded: "In that case, not too many people will know. But I need to report this to Your Majesty."
Li Shui hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It would be fine if His Majesty alone knows about this matter. There is no guarantee that there is no spy on Xiang Liang in the palace."
Li Xin said yes and entered the palace immediately without any delay.
Li Shui entered the room and said to Jing Fu: "God is kind to you. Brother, you are lucky to have saved your life."
"Ah?" Jing Fu raised his head and looked at Li Shui in surprise: Didn't he say that Qin's law was harsh? How could he survive a serious crime of rebellion?
Li Shui then said: "I will send you two personal servants, one male and one female. One is for the outside and the other is for the inside. From now on, your every move, word and deed must be under their sight. As long as you leave them If you look at me, I will think that you are going to rebel, and I will kill you immediately."
Jing Fu asked cautiously: "Even if you go to the toilet or take a bath, are there no exceptions?"
Li Shui said: "Even if it's between the bed and the rain, my people will be there."
Jing Fu grinned.
Li Shui added: "These two people will record all your actions, including your eyes and gestures. If I find you secretly contacting Xiang Liang's people and giving them secret codes, you will be tortured."
Jing Fu shook his head quickly and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Li Shui patted him on the shoulder: "Work hard. If you can fish out Xiang Liang's accomplices and atone for your sins, maybe you can really save your life."
When Jing Fu heard this, he suddenly understood. It turned out that Li Shui allowed him to live in order to lure Xiang Liang out.
Thinking about having to live under the supervision of others for the rest of his life, Jing Sui felt extremely sad. But... it is better to die than to live. If you can survive, there is hope.
The Banished Immortal Tower sent out two fast horses, and with the Banished Immortal's gold medal for immunity from death as a token, they opened the city gate and went out. A quarter of an hour later, people from Shangjun's Courtyard drove the carriage in again.
The carriage stopped under the Banished Immortal Tower, and a man and a woman walked out of it.
These two people were selected by the Shangjun Courtyard to monitor Jing Fu. They were loyal and would carry out Li Shui's orders meticulously.
The man is about thirty years old, and his name is Heidu. The woman is an aunt, known as Aunt Nine.
Li Shui called the two people over and whispered: "No matter what you two discover, you should report it to me as soon as possible, not to others. Do you understand?"
Heidu and Aunt Jiu both nodded and said solemnly: "Everything we have is given by the banished immortal. Others are not worthy of our respect. To be disrespectful, if the banished immortal did not respect the emperor, we would not even be able to respect the people in the palace. Don’t even care.”
Li Shui smiled and said, "Don't say this nonsense."
Black Dolphin said: "Young man understands."
Li Shui was silent for a while, and then solemnly asked: "If there is any news about me from Xiang Liang, tell me as soon as possible, and block the news so that no one can know."
Black Dolphin and Aunt Jiu both nodded.
Li Shui said: "Go and take a good look at him."
Afterwards, Heidu and Aunt Jiu went upstairs.
Jing Fu was waiting in the room. After he accepted the reality, he began to have some expectations for the servants who would take care of him. The banished immortal said that he would arrange a man and a woman for him. If the woman is white and beautiful, then it is also nice.
As a result, when he saw Aunt Ninth, he suddenly lost all hope and felt that life was meaningless.
A quarter of an hour later, Jing Fu went downstairs surrounded by the two of them. Without even thinking about explaining, he got on the carriage, crowded together with Heidu and Aunt Ninth, and staggered towards his mansion. go.
Just after returning home, Jing Fu heard the sound of reading loudly. It was Jing Gao who was studying hard and preparing for the imperial examination.
Jing Fu shook his head helplessly: I have been discovered, and I may be dead at some point, and my family will be confiscated and my family will be exterminated. Why are you still studying? Studying is of no use.
But he didn't dare to say this. After all, there were two people behind him, and their every word and deed would be remembered.
In the end, Jing Fu just sighed and returned to his room.
In the next few days, Jing Fu's servants discovered that their master had changed.
In the past, Xiang Fu would complain at home from time to time, saying how bad the Qin Dynasty was and how generous the Chu State was. Now, from time to time, he would praise the current emperor and the relegated immortal Huai Guzi. When he got excited, he would also
He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists, looking extremely excited.
Jing Fu's wife also felt that Jing Fu had changed. She found a woman named Jiu Aunt from somewhere. No matter whether she was bathing or sleeping, she had to take this woman with her.
Mrs. Jing felt that she had fallen out of favor.
It would be fine if Aunt Ninth was young and beautiful. But she is an ordinary peasant woman with a dark complexion and a short stature.
When Mrs. Jing thought that her favor had been taken away by such a person, she felt so sad that she wanted to hang herself.
Jing Sui’s friends also discovered that Jing Sui was different.
In the past, Jing Fu bullied the weak and feared the strong, and showed respect to those who were stronger than him. He also beat or scolded his subordinates.
However, these friends suddenly discovered that Jing Fu was extremely polite to the black dolphins around him, as if King Wen of Zhou respected Taigong Jiang.
Ever since, the reputation of Corporal Jing Fulixian has spread...
…………
While Jing Fu was dealing with Aunt Ninth, Gao Jianli was sitting in Shang Jun's courtyard in a daze.
That day when he woke up from being drunk, a craftsman brought him hot water and asked him to drink it.
After drinking hot water, Gao Jianli felt that his headache was better, so he opened the door and walked out.
He saw that in Shangjun's courtyard, men were farming and women were weaving, and they were enjoying themselves. It was like a paradise in the world.
Gao Jianli sat on the threshold, looking at the children playing and playing, feeling a little lingering.
At this time, Huang Gou took out a piece of immortal paper and said to Gao Jianli: "Mr. Gao, you drank eighteen cups of immortal wine that day. According to the market price, each cup costs 100,000 yuan. This is 1.8 million yuan."
"You are penniless now, and you can't afford the money. According to the plan of banishing the immortal, you are asked to stay and work in Shangjun's courtyard and use your labor money to pay off your debts. What do you think?"
Gao Jianli looked at Huang Gou in confusion: "They invited me to drink that wine."
Huang Gou said: "How could it be? We are not relatives, but I want to treat you and a cup of fairy wine worth 100,000 yuan?"
Gao Jianli had nothing to say, so he nodded: "That's all, just work, I have nowhere to go anyway."
Huang Gou chuckled: "Your monthly salary is one hundred yuan. As the immortal has ordered, the food and lodging expenses are given to you and will not be deducted from it. Calculated this way... one hundred yuan a month, one yuan a year
One thousand two hundred dollars, you owe 1.8 million dollars..."
Huang Gou counted on his fingers for a long time, finally figured out a number, and said happily: "It only takes fifteen hundred years for you to be free again."
Gao Jianli: "..."
He was silent for a long time, and then said to Huang Gou: "I am a rebel, why did the banished immortal detain me? It is nothing to bear the risk."
Huang Gou said: "If you hide in Shang Jun's courtyard and don't come out, who knows if you are a traitor? What's more, the banished immortal said that even a piece of toilet paper or a piece of rag has its value, and you are no exception.
