Everyone has already eaten Li Shui's steamed buns. They can honestly say that the taste is indeed extraordinary. Everyone has also seen the immortal wine Li Shui brought out. Although they have not tasted it, the aroma of the wine is overflowing.

I also smelled it. It was indeed extraordinary.

As a result, the situation of these courtiers was a bit embarrassing. A few days ago, they were still yelling and saying that Li Shui's character was worthless. Suddenly they had to change their words and praise him for his magical skills. How rich is this?

Only with shame can you do it?

But wouldn't it be too stingy if he didn't give a few words of praise? After all, Li Shui did make a great contribution today. It would be bad if the emperor felt that he ignored the facts and was the same party and opposed to different people. No matter whether you want to or not, you must show it

It's better to come with a fair face.

Just when the courtiers were hesitating, the alchemists took the lead and sighed: "Mr. Huaiguzi, you are worthy of being the messenger of the immortals. His miraculous skills astound us."

With the beginning, the other courtiers breathed a sigh of relief and planned to echo.

Unexpectedly, Li Shui said coldly: "I, Huai Guzi, are at odds with other alchemists. Don't try to sell me better, plot against me, frame me, or falsely accuse me. I won't be fooled. If you provoke me again, don't blame me for killing you."

"

The other alchemists were on the verge of tears: "We are sincerely complimenting you, why did it turn into a provocation?"

The courtiers couldn't understand Li Shui's thinking and simply didn't dare to agree. Who knows if this lunatic would take out the gold medal to kill them when he was angry?

So the courtiers stood there one by one, looking at their noses with their eyes, their mouths with their noses, and their hearts with their mouths, just like old monks in meditation.

Ying Zheng looked at them coldly for a while and said calmly: "Huai Guzi, Li Xin, both civil and military, have made great achievements in promoting the power of the Qin Dynasty today. Why are you silent?"

The courtiers looked at me and I looked at you, and they all said with embarrassment: "Well, Huaiguzi does have some ability..."

As they talked, they secretly looked at Li Shui's face to see if he could accept this level of "provocation".

Alas, one wants to be praised, but the other is not allowed to praise. It’s really terrible.

Ying Zheng sneered: "You don't mean what you said. I didn't expect that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty would eat nothing but the corpses. I am extremely disappointed."

The courtiers were startled and knelt down one after another.

Ying Zheng glanced at Ji Ming and said calmly: "Take it out."

Ji Ming didn't dare to act stupid at this time. He had to slowly take out some bamboo pieces from his arms. Ying Zheng pointed to the courtiers, and Ji Ming distributed the bamboo pieces to them.

When the courtiers saw the words written on the bamboo slices, their faces turned pale. These were the words they scolded Li Shui at the No. 1 Stone Mill that day. How come they were recorded? And even before the emperor?

"There is a traitor among us." All the courtiers had this idea.

They look at me and I look at you, everyone looks like a spy.

But the courtiers were in high positions, and all of them were human beings. After a while, they quietly checked the bamboo slips and found that everyone present had their words recorded on them.

There was also Ji Ming who visited the No. 1 Stone Mill that day, but this Ji Ming did not leave a single word. Let’s also think that it was Ji Ming who took out the bamboo pieces just now.

Then the courtiers suddenly realized: Ji Ming is the secret agent.

No, it seems that it is not as simple as a secret agent.

Everyone had no intention of visiting Lishui's farmland and stone mill that day, mainly because of the arbitrary charges. However, Ji Ming, an eunuch, took the lead and spent money to get in. The ministers were concerned about face, so they had no choice but to follow.

At that time, some people felt that this was too evil. What was Ji Ming, a eunuch, doing visiting farmland? Every move he made seemed to be cooperating with Li Shui to defraud everyone of their money.

Yes, from that time on, Li Shui had secretly colluded with Ji Ming. The two of them first defrauded everyone of their money, and then Ji Ming secretly took down everyone's words and reported them to the emperor.

The courtiers gritted their teeth and looked at Li Shui, and suddenly felt a little discouraged: "This guy is a lunatic, it's better not to provoke him."

So the courtiers turned to look at Ji Ming angrily.

Ji Ming bit the bullet and smiled to please the courtiers. As a result, the courtiers became even more angry, thinking that he was mocking them.

If Ji Ming knew that he was considered to be in Li Shui's group, he would probably cry to death.

Chun Yuyue was the first to stand up and said in a bachelor's manner: "Your Majesty, the old minister did criticize Huaiguzi that day. However, who could have thought that those round stones were tools for making steamed buns? Such things have never appeared in the world, and the ministers misunderstood Huaiguo.

There is nothing we can do about millet."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Those who don't know are not guilty, so it doesn't matter. But today we have understood the truth, why don't we say a word? We misunderstood Huaiguzi before, don't you feel guilty? Is it possible that as long as Huaiguzi does it, you can wait

Do you definitely disagree?"

Chunyu Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Just now, the alchemists praised Huai Guzi, but he took it as a provocation. How can I dare to get into trouble? Mr. Huai wears a gold medal for immunity from death. We are as afraid of him as a tiger, and we don't even dare to praise him."

Li Shui couldn't help cursing secretly: "This guy is really an old fox. He is accusing me of being lawless by relying on the gold medal to avoid death."

Fortunately, Ying Zheng had no intention of touching the death-free medal. He said calmly: "That's all. Since you have your reasons, I won't pursue it anymore. You can just stand down."

Everyone agreed and walked outside one after another. Before leaving, they all glanced at Ji Ming intentionally or unintentionally. Their eyes were a little unkind.

Ji Ming was about to cry. I just recorded the courtiers' remarks and added some supporting evidence to myself. Why did he become a public enemy now?

Everyone left, but Li Shui and Li Xin did not leave.

Ying Zheng looked at the two of them and asked, "What else do you want?"

Li Shui smiled dryly: "The two of us have made great contributions, don't we have that...reward?"

Ying Zheng wanted to laugh a little: "After the Huns envoy leaves, we will reward them together."

Li Shui and Li Xin shrugged and left.

In the main hall, only Ying Zheng and Ji Ming were left.

Ji Ming's heart was pounding, and he knelt down and said with tears: "Who would have thought that those round stones were tools for making steamed buns? The slave has never heard of it and misunderstood it, so there is nothing you can do about it."

These words are simply a shameless plagiarism from Chun Yuyue.

Ying Zheng said expressionlessly: "Chun Yuyue and others were discussing in private. But you reported it to me. How can we say the same thing? If you want to file a complaint, you need to make a clear distinction. If you don't make a clear distinction, you will confuse right and wrong, and you will almost let me.

Misunderstood Zhongliang. He is so stupid. Pull him out and give him a hundred beatings."

Ji Ming was pulled out and slapped on his buttocks, with old wounds piled on top of new ones.
