Zhou Gui naturally saw Shi Mou's actions of raising his eyebrows. He was a businessman and his ability to observe his expressions was unusual, so he naturally guessed that Shi Mou was a little impatient.

But today, I have spent so much money and can't do this anymore. In the future, my half-life plan will be the exiled immortal. Therefore, Zhou Gui could only pretend that he couldn't understand and said, "The villain asked the adults to help me make peace with the exiled immortal."

Shi Mou was a little speechless: The exiled immortal... I know who the exiled immortal is? Does the exiled immortal know me?

Yes, Shi Mou is considered a court official and often goes out of the Political Consultative Hall. However, the exiled immortals are standing in the front, but what about themselves? They stand at the end and almost go outside the door.

However, in front of Zhou Gui, Shi Mou would not reveal his background. He looked mysterious and asked lightly: "What do you say to find the banished immortal? Will you offend the banished immortal?"

Zhou Gui said tentatively: "Maybe... I offended."

Shi Mou had a headache and thought to himself: I don’t dare to offend the banished immortal, you actually offended it? You really don’t know how to live or die.

He sighed and looked tired: "You are a small businessman, how can you offend the exiled immortal?"

Zhou Gui was about to cry without tears: "Yes, the villain didn't know what kind of virtue and could do it, so he entered the eyes of the banished immortal."

Afterwards, Zhou Gui told him everything about the invitation he received.

After hearing this, Shi Mou widened his eyes in surprise. His first reaction was that he did not believe it.

How much money does the banished immortal have? Is it necessary to cheat you up and cheat you? Everyone knows that there is a mine in the banished immortal's family, and it is a gold mine. Your small pastry shop is not enough for people to get stuck in their teeth.

However, Zhou Gui took out the invitation. When Shi Mou looked at the printing on it, he knew that it should come from Shangjun Villa. What's more, at the bottom of the invitation, there was the signature of the exiled immortal. The dog crawled his handwriting... I guess there was no second person who was so ugly to come to Xianyang City.

Shi Mou stood up and felt that this matter was interesting. He couldn't help laughing: "It's so strange, why are the banished immortals so good to ask you for money?"

Zhou Gui said, "The villain can't figure it out, so I come and ask the banished immortal if he has any inexplicable things that he offended the banished immortal."

Shi Mou did not answer, he was guessing the whole story of the matter.

After guessing, Shi Mou could only think that the banished immortal was becoming more and more shameless. He was too greedy and had not made enough money.

Everyone knows that the exiled immortals are shameless people. Shi Mou has long heard of this sentence, and he has seen it recently.

Shi Mou sighed: "The exiled immortal is extorting money."

Zhou Gui didn't dare to speak.

It's okay if someone is fighting a god, just a few comments are fine. If you talk nonsense, you may be over on the spot.

Shi Mou asked Zhou Gui: "Are you the only one who received this invitation?"

Zhou Gui said: "Several larger shops around have also received such paper invitations. Some people are afraid and do what they do. Some people dare not offend the exiled immortal, but they are reluctant to give up the money at home and are preparing to move. As for the villain... the villain wants to ask the adults to ask for love from the exiled immortal."

Shi Tao said.

Today he actually received the invitation, which was cast in bronze. He also knew that the important officials of the court received the invitation from silver, while the minor officials who were not as good as the ones received the bamboo pieces.

From this point of view, the invitations of those minor officials are not the lowest. The lowest is the merchants. They want to give money to the exiled immortals.

Shi Mou originally wanted to reject Zhou Gui, but then he thought about it and it seemed like an opportunity.

Shi Mou is a small official, but it may not have no desire to climb up. Every time he goes to court, Shi Mou is so envious of the court officials standing in front.

If I could talk like them in front of His Majesty, I could wake up in a dream.

Now the opportunity has come. If Huai Guzi is sued, not to mention expelling him from the court, he just needs to fall apart, and naturally countless people will favor and promote the plan.

If others don’t say it, Wang Wan, Li Si, Chunyu Yue… they all hope that Huai Guzi will suffer some setbacks.

Thinking of this, Shi Mou suddenly realized that Huai Guzi was abandoned by people in the court, and there were enemies everywhere.

Shi Mou rubbed his hands and his eyes suddenly became eager.

Yes, for a long time, many people have tried to sue Huai Guzi. They have all failed without exception. Everyone knows that Huai Guzi is very powerful in combat and has a strong ability to reverse black and white.

But this time it's different. This time, the evidence is solid. If Huai Guzi can't be sued again, Shi Mou thinks that unless Huai Guzi is in the court, it's not that Huai Guzi will cover the sky with one hand.

Zhou Gui saw Shi Mou's face changing constantly, he was a little nervous and asked carefully: "Sir... Is it okay to talk to the exiled immortal?"

Shi Mou glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "Why do you want to say peace?"

Zhou Gui looked at Shi Mou blankly: "Don't you tell me the harmony?"

Zhou Gui was suddenly extremely disappointed. It turned out that the officials were protecting each other. Even if he recognized the housekeeper as his uncle, he still couldn't do it.

Zhou Gui sighed and said with a wry smile: "Little man, the villain has disturbed him, the villain will leave now."

He turned around and wanted to leave, but Shi Mou stopped him.

Shi Mou's eyes were bright and Zhou Gui felt a little guilty when he saw it.

Shi Mou said quietly: "Zhou Gui, now someone openly blackmails you, why don't you complain?"

Zhou Gui was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: "If you can't do it, you can't do it. Everyone in Xianyang City knows that Master Inner Shi is the best friend of the exiled immortal. How can you sue this?"

Shi Mou thought: Just make friends? Not necessarily?

However, it is not convenient to tell Zhou Gui about the secret matters in the court.

He said lightly: "Even if Zhao Teng is from Huai Guzi, His Majesty is the Son of Emperor Ming."

Zhou Guishen nodded with approval: "Yes, Your Majesty is indeed the king of Yao and Shun. But..."

He laughed dryly: "But, what is a villain? How can he be qualified to complain before His Majesty?"

Shi Mou walked up to Zhou Gui: "What if I take you to His Majesty to complain?"

Zhou Gui was startled and took a step back with some fear: "Sir... the adult is joking. The villain just wants to ask the adult to talk to him, and does not want to complain."

Zhou Gui is not stupid either. What kind of person is Huai Guzi? How many people want to sue him and lose. Even if he wins this time, His Majesty will only scold Huai Guzi for a few words. And then, can he still live in Xianyang City?

Shi Mou said lightly: "Don't worry, if you win Huai Guzi, Your Majesty will definitely speak and no one is allowed to make things difficult for you. As long as someone takes revenge later, you can just go and call for injustice, Your Majesty will definitely ask in person."

Zhou Gui was a little skeptical.

Shi Mou didn't care what Zhou Gui thought. This was a good opportunity for him to make a fortune, so Zhou Gui had to help him. Now this small businessman wants to quit? It's too late.

Shi Mou called the housekeeper and ordered: "Send a few people immediately to conduct open and secret investigations for me. Before dawn, you must find out that many merchants sent paper invitations to the exiled immortals, and ask them to spend a lot of money."

The butler responded and left hurriedly.

Shi Mou smiled and said to Zhou Gui, "You can rest here today. Tomorrow it will be a court discussion, so follow me to the palace to meet the saint."

Shi Mou left, Zhou Gui's legs became weak and he sat on the ground.

Tomorrow? Court talks? Entering the palace to meet the saint?

Zhou Gui felt that every word could kill his own life.

He suddenly wanted to escape from here, but as soon as he reached the door, he was ruthlessly stopped by two servants.

The two men said lightly: "My sir, I have given you a good order to rest here."

Zhou Gui looked back at the reception room, there was not even a bed inside, it was nothing to rest. It was obvious that this was house arrest.

But Zhou Gui didn't dare to speak much, so he could only go back with his hands and feet.

After Shi Mou left, he did not go to bed, but took two followers to Wang Wan's mansion overnight.

Shi Mou was recommended by Wang Wan to the court, so Zhou Gui always regarded himself as Wang Wan's person.

In fact, Wang Wan has recommended many people, but he doesn't like this insignificant Shi Mou. He has always posted it on Shi Mou himself.

Today, Shi Mou planned to post it for the last time. He knew that after tomorrow, he might become a hot commodity. He had to choose carefully which court official to join.

Shi Mou and his followers waited at Wang Wan's door for a long time, and the door finally opened.

Wang Wan's housekeeper came out and asked Shi Mou through the crack of the door: "Why are you visiting late at night? My master is ready to go to bed."

Shi Mou hesitated for a moment and whispered: "There are extremely important things for the lower officials, and I have to report to the Prime Minister."

The meaning of this is very obvious. This matter is very important and I don’t want the butler to know.

A look of unhappiness appeared on the butler's face, and he said lightly: "Just just tell me, I will never hide the affairs of the Prime Minister from the bottom of my mind."

Shi Mou hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind to tell the story of Huaiguzi extorting merchants.

The housekeeper said lightly: "Sir, I will report to the Prime Minister later."

The butler's expression has never changed. It seems that Shi Mou thought that a big deal that broke the sky was indeed not a big deal in the eyes of this butler.

Shi Mou sighed so much that he had to stand in front of the door and wait.

Shi Mou's two entourages whispered: "This butler is so rude. He actually wants the adults to wait here. So can't he invite them in?"

Shi Mou smiled bitterly: "The Prime Minister's housekeeper is naturally different from other families. If I can be the best minister in the future, you will naturally be able to be more powerful."

The two followers said happily: "Is the little man looking forward to that day."

Shi Mou waited outside for a quarter of an hour, and the housekeeper came back.

Still through the crack in the door, the butler said lightly: "The Prime Minister said that there is a lot of potential at this time. But Lord Shi must investigate clearly and must not make false accusations."

"If the evidence is conclusive, I will be in the court tomorrow. The Prime Minister will follow the situation and help him with his help."

Shi Mou thanked him repeatedly.

The butler didn't even have any politeness and closed the door casually.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shi Mou sneered: "The Prime Minister is indeed cautious. In the court, it is helpful to me according to the situation. In this way, if the situation is not good, he will not speak up to avoid causing trouble. If Huai Guzi can be refuted, he will come out to take advantage of the situation and get a share of the pie?"

However, Shi Mou could not say anything about Wang Wan's decision. After all, he was the prime minister and his status was much higher than that of him.
