Tian Jing felt a chill in his heart: It's over. He was caught by Huai Guzi. He had been groveling for so long, and it was all in vain.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Jing thought in horror: I am afraid that this time it will not be in vain, and it is not certain whether he can save his life.

In panic, he quickly denied it and said to Li Shui: "I am definitely not snickering. The person who set up the trap is definitely not me. I don't know the iron hand at all."

After saying a few words like this, Tian Jing suddenly thought: Yes, what am I afraid of? No one knows that I know Tie Shou anyway. Without any evidence, what can Huai Guzi do to me? I'm afraid he is just doubting now.

It's just me, I don't have any real evidence.

After thinking this way, Tian Jing straightened his back and said frankly: "Master Banished Immortal, you are really wronged by me. I have never done anything like this."

"Yes, just a few months ago, I had a dispute with Banished Immortal, but since then, I have apologized and sent Banished Immortal two beauties. What? Does Banished Immortal still hate me now?

?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else secretly despised Li Shui, feeling that he was indeed unreasonable and a bit stingy.

Li Shui said helplessly: "But Tie Shou is really not from Shangjun Courtyard, do you want to force me to admit it?"

Zhao Tenglai and Xini said: "In my opinion, this person pretended to be a craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard, and he committed a heinous crime. Yan Le killed him because he was doing harm to the people, so there is no need to pursue him."

"As for Mr. Huai, he is naturally not at fault for allowing slaves to commit crimes. This is all a misunderstanding. Mr. Huai, you can shake hands with Yan Le and make peace."

Yan Le very much suspected that Li Shui had directed and acted all this, but the current result was obviously better than losing his life, so he was happy to make peace with Li Shui.

But Li Shui disagreed: "Now someone is framing me. If I don't find this person, how can I rashly shake hands and make peace? I want to report it to Your Majesty."

Zhao Teng said with a headache: "What's the use of reporting it to Your Majesty? Master Huai, it's better not to disturb the palace with these trivial matters."

Li Shui said: "His Majesty has a keen eye and knows every detail. As long as he takes one look, he will naturally know who the real murderer is."

Zhao Teng was a little speechless: Are you kidding me? Or are you used to flattering me and you believe it? How can His Majesty know who the real murderer is at just one glance? Do you really think His Majesty is a god?

Li Shui looked at Zhao Teng innocently: "What? Mr. Zhao, you don't believe it?"

Zhao Teng said: "Believe it, I believe it without a doubt."

Li Shui asked Wang Wan again: "Does Prime Minister Wang believe it?"

Wang Wan coughed dryly: "I believe it."

Li Shui looked at the other courtiers, who all said against their will: "Of course your Majesty can tell who is causing trouble behind the scenes."

These courtiers all feel a little tired. Forget it, the banished immortal loves to toss, so just go ahead and don't bother to pay attention.

Therefore, Li Shui summoned all the courtiers and entered the palace with Tian Jing, Yan Le and others, saying that he wanted to see Ying Zheng for comment.

Zhao Teng didn't know if Li Shui was full and why he made the matter so big. He asked Li Shui several times in private, but every time Li Shui laughed and said nothing.

In fact, when Tian Jing and Ji Ming plotted to kill Li Shui, Xiao Yi told Ying Zheng the information. And Ying Zheng had already sent people to monitor Tian Jing's mansion.

It was clear where he went and who he met.

In other words, the relationship between Tian Jing and Tie Shou has long been exposed.

Therefore, Li Shui was just cooperating with Tian Jing to perform a play. After the play was over, he could kill Tian Jing and complete the task assigned by Ying Zheng.

As Li Shui hurried on, he thought to himself: "Your Majesty wants me to frame some crimes on Tian Jing and get rid of him. Actually, why bother? Tian Jing is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. He will jump in without me framing him.

Already..."

It didn't take long before everyone entered the palace in large numbers.

Tian Jing kept cheering himself up and giving psychological suggestions along the way, telling himself: There is no evidence for this matter, so I don't need to be afraid.

After doing this kind of psychological suggestion too much, Tian Jing himself had hallucinations and felt that Li Shui was framing him, so his expression became more and more calm.

Ying Zheng was waiting for them in the study.

After everyone arrived, Ying Zheng asked calmly: "Why did the ministers rush into the palace?"

Li Shui secretly laughed in his heart: The emperor pretends to be very similar, don't you know what is going on? You have been secretly monitoring the whole process.

The emperor asked and had to answer.

Zhao Teng looked at Li Shui, the culprit, but Li Shui had his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to stay out of the matter.

Zhao Teng had no choice but to cough dryly and said: "Recently, someone pretended to be a craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard and bullied Yan Le, a powerful man in Guandong. Yan Le killed this person."

Ying Zheng frowned: "Are these small things worth entering the palace?"

Zhao Teng smiled bitterly and said: "Now the banished immortal denies it, saying that this person is not a craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard. He also says that this person was instigated by others, and the person who instigated him is the powerful Tian Jing."

"The two sides had no evidence and argued endlessly with no result. In the end, Huaiguzi proposed that it be up to His Majesty to decide whether to enter the palace."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Since there is no evidence, what else can we decide? Do you want me to convict based on my personal likes and dislikes?"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Li Shui in confusion.

Previously, Li Shuili insisted on entering the palace and asking His Majesty to make a decision. Everyone thought he had discussed it with the emperor, but now it seems that is not the case at all.

Huai Guzi is too confident? He thought he knew His Majesty's likes and dislikes, but now he is slapped in the face?

Many people feel a sense of schadenfreude in their hearts.

There is no way, who made Li Shuihui so popular at that time? Now he is unlucky, and everyone feels a bad breath.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Huai Guzi, I have also heard that you have been buying servants in the city recently. This matter is too arrogant and domineering. You have gone too far."

Li Shui was a little depressed: Why did you change your face? Didn't we discuss it well before?

Ying Zheng seemed to be a little tired. He waved his hand and said, "The rest of the people should leave. Huai Guzi should stay and spend some time in the palace behind closed doors."

Li Shui stayed with a helpless expression, while the other courtiers left with thoughtful expressions.

After everyone exited, Ying Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Li Shui: "Do you think I am moody and unable to figure things out?"

Li Shuiqian laughed and said: "The power of God is unpredictable, it's normal, it's normal."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I do have evidence to kill Tian Jing. But... just now, I received a report saying that Ji Ming had conspired with a group of courtiers to impeach you."

When Li Shui heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Who is it? Why do these people want to impeach me? I have worked hard and dedicated myself for the Qin Dynasty, but they want to impeach me? Is there any conscience in this?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui who was jumping up and down, shook his head helplessly, and said: "The city is too deep, and it is easy to be disliked by others. But it is a bit dangerous for someone like you, who has no city in mind and can only express happiness and anger.

It’s easy to be plotted.”

Li Shui looked like he had been taught something: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "The reason why I didn't punish Tian Jing just now was to paralyze them and attract those courtiers to write a letter to impeach you. By then, you will naturally know who the courtiers who were bribed by Ji Ming are."

Li Shui's eyes lit up: "Then His Majesty will suddenly take action and kill them all?"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

Li Shui bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise."

Ying Zheng smiled and said to Li Shui: "You should also be more careful. You are in good shape. Why did you buy servants from the powerful people in Guandong?"

Li Shui said: "Your Majesty is unaware of something. These servants are all talented people. If used properly, they can help our Great Qin expand its territory. It is a pity that the powerful people in Guandong have such poor vision that they let these servants carry tea and water all day long.

Isn’t this a waste of talent? I can’t stand it, so I can only take action myself.”

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "That's all, I still trust your character. You said they are talents, so you can't be wrong. You can rest in the palace these days."

Li Shui agreed and walked out of Ying Zheng's study. He did not go back to the alchemy room, but went straight to Wei Yang's bedroom.

I have been really busy these days. I have been interviewing those alchemists all day long. Now I finally have some time, so let’s have fun for a few days.

Li Shui wandered around the palace all day long, while the courtiers outside the palace were very busy.

Everything that happened in Ying Zheng's study quickly spread to the ears of every courtier.

These courtiers were very smart, and they keenly sensed a hint of falling out of favor: Huaiguzi was about to fall out of favor.

This guy relies on his ability to refine elixirs, and he is so domineering and arrogant all day long. Now that the elixir has not been refined, people's lives have been caused.

His Majesty finally couldn't hold it any longer and expressed his dissatisfaction. It is conceivable that His Majesty will place Huaiguzi under house arrest in the palace and ask him to step up his elixir refining. As for the affairs of the court, he will not be allowed to interfere.

Many courtiers laughed out loud in their dreams when they thought of the government hall without Huaiguzi.

As a result, some people began to write memorials eagerly, hoping to add fuel to the flames and drive Li Shui away as soon as possible.

Among the people who wrote the memorial, there were naturally those whom Ji Ming had contacted. Of course, there were also some who were seeking fame and reputation and wanted to take advantage of the situation.

As for some mature and prudent people, they feel that although Huaiguzi is arrogant, after all, it has solved the problem of food and clothing for the people in Guanzhong and eliminated the scourge of the Xiongnu, which is still a great achievement.

Therefore, these courtiers remained silent.

Within a few days, the memorial to impeach Li Shui was quickly placed on Ying Zheng's desk.

Ying Zheng did not read the contents, but just wrote down the names, and then gave it to Si Tu to check one by one to see who was related to Ji Ming. Who wanted to take advantage of the situation, and who was blindly following them.

It only took one day for Si Dou to find out everything clearly and then reported it back to the emperor.

Ying Zheng wrote down these names and assigned them charges in advance. Anyone related to Ji Ming would be demoted to common people. Anyone who wanted to take advantage of the situation would be demoted and fined. As for those who blindly followed him for a while, they would just be reprimanded.

Ying Zheng wrote a list of names, put it in his sleeve, and then ordered the eunuch to notify the courtiers and hold a court meeting.

His Majesty is suddenly going to court, and the ministers are all well aware of it. It is probably because of Huaiguzi's matter. Because many people have been impeaching Huaiguzi recently, and Huaiguzi has been hiding in the palace without saying a word. It is estimated that this time,

He is really going to fall.

Many people are sighing. They didn't expect Wang Li, Wang Ben, Zhao Gao, Yan Le, Niu Dou... These people did not fight against Huai Millet. Instead, Huai Millet fell into the hands of the iron hand. Could this be a boat capsized in the gutter?
