Chapter 24: Immortals also farm

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Call in."

Ji Ming, who had been waiting beside Ying Zheng, shouted happily: "Xuan Erhu has entered the palace."

Then, the two tigers, who were tall and powerful, walked tremblingly to the Council Hall.

He wanted to sue and bring down Li Shui. However, he never thought about suing in front of the emperor.

At this time, Erhu's whole body was trembling, his mind went blank, and all his energy was concentrated on his lower body, for fear that if he relaxed, he would lose control.

Wang Li couldn't help but shook his head when he saw that Erhu was so scared. He walked over, patted Erhu on the shoulder, and said, "How Huaiguzi bullied you? Tell me exactly.

Don't be afraid. Your Majesty will make the decision for you, and the civil and military officials of this court will also make the decision for you."

Erhu nodded nervously and said tremblingly: "Yes, when I saw that Sophora Millet, it was yesterday, no, it was the day before yesterday."

"At that time, he came to Xiaotu Village for the first time and ordered us to only farm half of the fields. Wu Changfu wanted to say a few words, so he took out the death-free gold medal and said that killing people will not be punished with life. Anyone who disobeys

He will kill whoever he wants."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Erhu, do you know that according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, those who make false accusations will be punished by others."

Erhu knelt on the ground, kowtowing as if pounding garlic: "The villain did not make a false accusation. All the villagers in Xiaotu Village can testify."

Ying Zheng said nothing. In fact, he also knew that Erhu was afraid of being like this and could not lie. And holding a gold medal to avoid death and being arrogant and domineering was in line with Huaiguzi's character.

Chunyu Yue sighed: "The old minister said that day, Huaiguzi has won the gold medal for immunity from death, and he doesn't know how to bully the good. Today it really came true."

Others also nodded.

Wang Li was still dissatisfied and asked Erhu again: "Huai Guzi only allows you to plant half of the land, so you agreed?"

Erhu said: "How can we dare to compete with the master? It's just that the field is only half planted, and it's really impossible to live, so we collected money, bought a banquet, invited Huai Guzi, and wanted to plead with him."

"Unexpectedly, he also drank wine and ate meat. He turned a deaf ear to our pleas. He also forcibly recruited half of the population to grind stones for him. The villain really doesn't know what he wants to do."

Wang Li sneered: "This Huaiguzi is so brave. The villagers in Xiaotu Village are just tenant farmers, not his private slaves. Why does he levy corvee without authorization?"

Wang Li's last words were enough to kill Huai Guzi. It was the imperial court's business to impose corvées. For a small alchemist to conscript corvées, this was transgression, treason and disobedience.

Wang Li knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "My lord, please cut off the locust trees immediately to enforce the law."

There was a crash, and everyone behind them knelt down and said in unison: "My lord, please cut off the locust trees and millet trees immediately to rectify the law."

Ji Ming looked at this scene and felt a little familiar. It seemed that just a few days ago, Chun Yuyue had done the same thing, and he definitely wanted to kill Huai Guzi.

This guy Huai Guzi is really capable of seeking death.

All the courtiers knelt down, but Li Xin stood upright, somewhat standing out from the crowd.

So Ying Zheng looked at him.

Li Xin said loudly: "Whether what Erhu said is true or false still needs to be judged. Even if it is true, maybe Brother Huai has something hidden. Why don't we announce Brother Huai to the palace and see what he says."

Ying Zheng agreed.

In fact, it was impossible to kill Huaiguzi. Ying Zheng still counted on him to make elixirs.

But Ying Zheng also felt that this Huai Guzi was a bit arrogant and a bit arrogant. It would be good to take this opportunity to punish him with small punishments and severe punishments.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Shui hurried over. On the way, he had already heard the young eunuch explain the whole story.

After walking into the main hall, Li Shui saw at a glance that the courtiers were all kneeling and only Li Xin was standing. Ying Zheng was kneeling on the throne with a gloomy look on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.

From the moment Li Shui entered the door, he shouted: "Get rid of the traitors and sycophants, and clean up the emperor's side."

Wang Li and the others were a little puzzled: "Isn't this a thief's call to catch a thief? You are a traitor."

Before Wang Li could recover, Li Shui punched and kicked the courtiers: "You treacherous villain, I'll beat you to death."

He walked and hit all the way, and before anyone could react, he had already kicked down dozens of people.

Ying Zheng said angrily: "Stop, if you dare to act recklessly again, don't blame me for punishing you."

Li Shui had no choice but to stop, laughed dryly, and said: "These people are the treacherous villains in the court. Seeing that they are taking advantage of the strength of their numbers and using this method to force Your Majesty, I can't help but feel angry in my heart.

I couldn’t control it for a while.”

When the courtier heard this, his heart suddenly thumped.

All civil and military officials in the court knelt down and begged for the execution of a person the emperor did not want to execute. On the surface, this seemed like a request, but in fact it was more like forcing the emperor to go to the palace.

Especially since Ying Zheng has a strong personality, how can he not be annoyed when he sees his courtiers acting like this?

The courtiers became more and more frightened as they thought about it. They secretly looked up and saw that Ying Zheng's face was ashen.

Many people secretly regretted it, why did they kneel down with Wang Li in a flash of enthusiasm?

Ying Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Shui and asked directly: "Today someone accused you of neglecting agriculture, what do you say?"

Li Shui said unhurriedly: "Not to mention whether I have neglected farming, even if I have neglected farming, is it necessary to report it to His Majesty? If only a thousand acres of farmland are to be investigated by Your Majesty personally, then the entire world, farmland

How many are there? How many farmers are there?”

"The master's dog is lost, and the west's cow is sick. Do we have to trouble His Majesty to make a decision? If not, why did these two tigers come to the imperial court?"

"Your Majesty, this is clearly Wang Li, who is using his power for personal gain, taking the opportunity to take revenge, and deliberately taking advantage of the court meeting to slander me, slander me, and want to put me to death. The existence of such treacherous and sycophantic people in the Qin Dynasty is really a hidden danger."

"Today is a court meeting, discussing the major issue of peace and war with the Huns. But Wang Li, with an ignorant Guizhou leader, wasted time for thousands of acres of fertile land. Why did he choose to attend the court meeting? This is to do it in front of

In the presence of all the civil and military ministers, Your Majesty is forced to make a decision. This is forcing the palace! This is committing a crime! His heart is to be punished. Your Majesty, I think that Wang Li has the intention to rebel. Please kill this person quickly to uphold the principles of the government.

.”

It was extremely quiet inside the Government Hall.

No one has recovered yet. How...how did bringing a Guizhou leader to complain turn it into rebellion?

Wang Li was also a little confused: "I have the intention to rebel? This is impossible."

He really wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know how. Li Shui's series of inferences just now had completely confused him.

In the end, Wang Li could only kneel on the ground, kowtow repeatedly, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I have been a Qin general for three generations. I am loyal and have no intention of rebellion."

Ying Zheng found it a little funny. This Huai Guzi, Luo Zhi, was a good master of crime. He actually beat Wang Li into a treasonous criminal.

He waited until Wang Li's head started to bleed from kowtow, and then he said calmly: "That's all, don't use your words. If Huaiguzi really neglects farming, he will be punished as a crime of neglecting farming. If he does not neglect farming, he will make false accusations."

Sitting on the back. There is no need to mention what is called corvee and what is a rebellious intention. It is nothing but false and false."

Li Shui agreed, and then said honestly: "I have never neglected farming."

Wang Li glanced at Erhu. Erhu said, "Why not? You asked us to only plant half of the farmland. Isn't this a neglect of farming?"

Li Shui said calmly: "If we only plant half of the crops, we will harvest more crops than before."

Erhu's eyes widened and he blurted out: "Impossible."

Li Shui strode over and slapped him in the face: "You know nothing, this is my magic. This is how immortals farm."

Everyone was a little speechless: The gods have become your shield. Why do you do ridiculous things and use the gods as a cover?

Even Li Xin was a little dumbfounded: Gods still need to farm? Isn’t this nonsense?

Wang Li sneered: "That's nonsense."

Li Shui said loudly: "Wang Li, do you dare to gamble your life? It is the time to sow corn these days. In three months, the corn will be harvested. You and I each claim a thousand acres of fertile land. If I have more corn than you, you will

Do you dare to commit suicide?"

Wang Li was a little annoyed and gritted his teeth and said, "You want to gamble your life again? You and Li Xin are indeed good friends."

Li Shui pointed at his nose and asked, "Do you dare?"

Wang Li stamped his feet: "Dare, why don't you dare? What if you lose?"

Li Shui said: "Since it is a bet on life, it will be the same if I lose."

When he said this, Li Shui laughed secretly in his heart: "What an idiot. My Daitian method has been proven for hundreds of years. How could I lose? What's more, even if I lose, I still have a gold medal for immunity from death. No matter what, I will use it when the time comes.

The gold medal pays the bills.”

Ying Zheng also asked Li Shui with some interest: "You can only plant half of the land, but you can increase production? Can you really do it?"

Li Shui said: "Your Majesty can choose a person who is upright and upright to supervise this matter so as to prevent some petty people from causing trouble."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Prime Minister, you are responsible for this matter."

Prime Minister Wang Wan stood up and responded.

Wang Wan holds a high position, is extremely fair, and never forms cliques. Everyone is convinced by this.

Ying Zheng said: "In this case, we will see the truth after three months. Let's discuss the matter of neglecting farming in the future. Come and take the two tigers out."

Erhu wiped the cold sweat from his head and planned to leave.

He had already thought about it. After returning, he would leave Xiaotu Village overnight and go to Wang Li. Then he would work intensively for three months and help Mr. Wang Li win the bet. In this way, Huaiguzi would have no chance to turn around.

Who knew that Li Shui said loudly: "Wait a minute. Your Majesty, I want to sue Erhu for robbery."

Erhu subconsciously shouted: "There is no such thing as a villain."

Li Shui said calmly: "The day before yesterday, I had a banquet with the villagers. After that, I gave a bunch of Qin Banliang to all the villagers. After I left, the two tigers snatched the money and took it for themselves. This matter is Wu's fault.

Everyone in the village can testify to what Chang Cangfu said."

Erhu suddenly turned pale and collapsed to the ground.
