Hu Ji suspected that she had heard wrongly: "I owe a lot of money? Isn't Ji Ming very rich? Every three to five days, some gold, silver and jewelry are sent to me."

The young eunuch gave a bitter smile: "The money was all borrowed. If you can't pay it back now, people will come to ask for the debt."

Hu Ji almost fainted. Why was she so obsessed with Hu Hai that she became his disciple? This was simply a joke.

While the two were talking, another young eunuch came in and said to Hu Ji in a panic: "It's not good, it's not good. There are several young eunuchs chasing Ji Ming, and Ji Ming fled all the way to our bedroom."

Coming."

Hu Ji shouted: "Close the door, close the door quickly."

Unfortunately, there was no time. Ji Ming had already ran in.

…………

Ji Ming is a little confused, why has Huaiguzi not been hindered by him after so long? Is this person's life too hard?

It might as well be okay, but he can still come to ask for debts vigorously. He actually comes to the palace to ask for debts. Does Huai Guzi still have dignity?

But it was finally over now. Ji Ming escaped to Hu Ji's palace, closed the door tightly, and refused to go out even though the eunuch outside called for the door.

Blocking Ji Ming outside were Wujiao and two other young eunuchs.

After returning from the North, Wu Jiao had a murderous aura about him. The young eunuchs in the palace always felt a sense of fear when they saw Wu Jiao. So he successfully recruited two younger brothers to take charge of collecting accounts in the palace.

Now Ji Ming is hiding, it doesn't matter, he can't hide forever, there will always be a time when he goes out to be on duty. There are many people in Wujiao, and under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Everyone takes turns to guard outside, and he will always come out.

time.

Wu Jiao not only keeps watch, but also instructs the eunuch to call the door outside: "Ji Ming, even if you can't pay, you still have to pay back part of it. Seeing that you are a regular customer, Ban Xian allows you to pay it back in twelve installments.

, you mean it."

Ji Ming remained silent. Because he had no intention of repaying the money, when borrowing money, he would simply make a big stroke, and sometimes he would not even read the numbers on the IOU.

Now when the accounts are calculated, the figures are simply astronomical. Not to mention divided into twelve periods, even if it is divided into one hundred and twenty periods, it will not be finished.

Therefore, Ji Ming's strategy is to drag, shamelessly, until Huaiguzi is killed by him.

So Ji Ming, who was hiding in Hu Ji's palace, began to write a letter to Li Shui. The letter was very disgusting. He was trying his best to praise Li Shui. Anyway, as long as Li Shui regarded him as a close friend, that would be enough.

As for the money he owes Li Shui... Ji Ming thinks that since the banished immortal is so rich, he shouldn't care about this small debt, right?

When Ji Ming writes letters, he often encounters a few words he doesn't recognize, so he has to ask Hu Hai.

Hu Hai told him impatiently.

Hu Ji next to her was on the verge of crying: What is this?

Finally, Hu Ji couldn't bear it anymore and said to Jiming: "Sir, this is too ridiculous. You are Hu Hai's master. If this continues, Hu Hai's reputation will be ruined by you."

Ji Ming sneered in his heart: What do you know? I want to kill Huaiguzi. Can I tell you such a confidential thing casually?

Ji Ming said lazily: "Don't be impatient for a moment. I dare to ask, has Fu Yao's reputation been ruined?"

Hu Ji said: "No."

Ji Ming said: "Huaiguzi is far more shameless than me. In Xianyang City, almost everyone is shouting to beat Huaiguzi. The result? Everyone knows the virtuous name of Mr. Fuyao. It can be seen that what the master has done

, it will not necessarily affect the actions of the apprentices and servants, nor will it affect the reputation of Young Master Hu Hai."

Hu Ji was a little doubtful: "Is that so?"

Ji Ming said calmly: "A temporary rumor is nothing, time will prove everything. I will be the second Huaiguzi, and surpass Huaiguzi. And Hu Hai will soar into the sky and become the prince of the Qin Dynasty.

"

Ji Ming drew a lot of pie and stabilized Hu Ji.

But not long after he stabilized himself, the eunuch's call for debt came from outside. Hu Ji sighed and thought: It's so embarrassing.

…………

Ying Zheng put down the memorial a little tiredly, and said calmly: "I'm a little tired, can you tell me, are there any interesting stories in the world recently that can relieve my boredom?"

The young eunuch waiting beside him racked his brains and said: "It is said that traces of the immortal have been found in Qidi. The local county guard is looking for the immortal, but there is currently no whereabouts."

Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "It's like this every time. First it made the whole city a storm, which made me look forward to it. Then I found out that there was no real evidence, which made me feel discouraged."

The young eunuch racked his brains and said: "It is said that Xu Fu from Shangjun Courtyard led hundreds of people to sail eastward in search of overseas fairy mountains."

Ying Zheng nodded: "It won't take more than a year and a half to go overseas. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

The young eunuch thought for a while and said: "It is said that the business in Shangjun Courtyard is getting more and more prosperous. There was a profit distribution last month. Princess Weiyang and Mr. Fuyao made a lot of profits. They specially chose a poppy.

A room to store gold.”

Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "A house full of gold? There are some ways to deal with this locust millet."

Ying Zheng does not covet Li Shui's gold. On the one hand, it is because Shangjun Courtyard has shares in the palace, and on the other hand... In Ying Zheng's eyes, the whole world belongs to him. Li Shui has gold, and he has it.

Gold, is there a difference?

The young eunuch suddenly remembered something and immediately said: "By the way, something strange has happened in the palace recently. Young Master Hu Hai has accepted Jiming as his disciple."

Ying Zheng almost thought he heard wrongly: "Hu Hai, do you want to accept Jiming as your disciple?"

The young eunuch said: "Yes."

Ying Zheng asked: "Is there a reason?"

The young eunuch said: "I don't know the specific reason. But I heard... it was... Hu Ji was hit one after another and was disappointed, so she broke the jar."

Ying Zheng chuckled: "Broken pot, broken pot?"

Ying Zheng didn't quite believe this kind of rhetoric. No one who didn't cherish his son wouldn't rashly hand over his child to someone like Ji Ming.

What's more, I just ignored them a little and didn't punish them. How could Hu Ji break the pot inexplicably?

Ying Zheng always felt that there was something behind this matter, so he said to the young eunuch: "Let's go to Hu Ji's palace to have a look."

The young eunuch agreed: "I will go and prepare."

Ying Zheng went to change his clothes. The young eunuch quickly passed on the news and ordered people to inform Hu Ji immediately so that she could prepare in advance.

Recently, Hu Ji has a lot of money and has bribed many young eunuchs to deliver messages. She finally put them to use recently.

The young eunuch took the oral message and hurriedly found Hu Ji's palace. However, he called the door for a long time from outside, but the door refused to be opened from inside.

The young eunuch didn't know that Wu Jiao had already tried these tricks before he came to call the door.

Wujiao and his men pretended to be such people and came to call the door, but the people in Hu Ji's palace always ignored her.

The little eunuch was so anxious outside that he could only shake his head and sigh, and then walked away.

If you don't open the door yourself, then no one can help you.

A quarter of an hour later, Ying Zheng arrived.

When he saw Wu Jiao outside the door, he was slightly startled and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wu Jiao has been away from the palace for some time and has been following Huai Guzi. But it is precisely because of this that Ying Zheng was deeply impressed by Wu Jiao.

Wu Jiao said respectfully: "This slave is here to collect debts."

Then, he told what happened exactly as it happened.

Ying Zheng sneered: "This Ji Ming is really ridiculous."

Afterwards, Ying Zheng bowed and waved, and a young eunuch immediately came forward and called the door, saying that His Majesty had arrived.

However, the door still refused to open.

The little eunuch guarding the door was actually a little panicked. He felt that no matter how bold Ujiao was, he wouldn't dare to lie and claim that His Majesty was here, right?

The two of them hurried to Ji Ming and said, "Sir, what will happen if His Majesty really comes?"

Ji Ming said calmly: "Don't worry, at this moment, His Majesty is reviewing the memorial in the study."

Before he finished speaking, the two doors slammed and fell to the ground.

Dust is flying.

After the dust settled, Ying Zheng came in with a livid face.

Hu Ji looks pale, see Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng looked around and said calmly: "Who ordered the door to be blocked?"

Everyone looked at Ji Ming.

Ying Zheng said: "Hit him with a hundred sticks."

Ji Ming went there consciously.

Hu Ji served Ying Zheng warmly and thoughtfully but anxiously.

Ying Zheng always looked ashen and said nothing.

A quarter of an hour later, the one hundred canes were finished. Ji Ming walked back as if nothing had happened.

To be honest, after being beaten every day, the skin on his buttocks became thicker and thicker, forming calluses, like a layer of scales, making him invulnerable to fire and water, invulnerable to weapons and bullets, it was magical.

Ying Zheng glanced at Ji Ming and said calmly: "Why don't you repay the debt you owe to Shangjun Courtyard?"
To be continued...
