The little eunuch took the invitation from Li Shui and submitted it to Ying Zheng.

Although the emperor is rich all over the world, he is still a little happy to see someone making invitations to him with gold.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and thought to himself: This locust kernel is always so diverse.

Ying Zheng showed a smile on his majestic face and said to Li Shui: "Huai Guzi, you are so generous. It seems that you have made a lot of money recently?"

Li Shui bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I make money not for myself, but for the people of the world. I am using wealth to drive wealth before I am rich. I just hope that one day, I will let all the people in the world be rich and build my Great Qin into a fairyland on earth."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

The court officials around were all amazed and thought to themselves: Why did the exiled immortal say that he is so high-sounding? The merchants are obviously a cheap career, but for him, it has become the most noble thing.

Ying Zheng looked at the invitation and said with a smile: "I heard that it is quite expensive to enter your Shangjun Villa. How much does it cost?"

The little eunuch beside him bowed and said, "100,000 yuan."

Li Shui felt a little aggrieved and thought to himself: Are you feeling guilty if you say this? Have I ever asked you for money?

He said helplessly: "Don't worry, your Majesty, this time you go to Shangjun Villa, all of them are free."

Ying Zheng exclaimed and looked at Li Shui in wonder: "Why is this time so generous?"

Li Shui coughed dryly: "This time, not only does not charge any money, but all wine and pastries are also available for free."

Ying Zheng was even more surprised.

This does not fit the character of the exiled immortal.

Shi Mou was eager to try at the end, and wanted to stand up and expose Li Shui, but he was a little afraid. Although he had been preparing for it all night, he was always a little scared when things came to an end.

At this time, Wang Wan quietly turned around and glanced at Shi Mou.

This glance gave Shi Mou a great encouragement, so he stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

He was too nervous and his voice was deformed.

The people around Shi Mou were even more shocked: Is this guy crazy? We little officials standing at the back always serve as foils. Unless things involve us, we are called out to ask a few questions. Why did he take the initiative to report the report today?

The little eunuch beside Ying Zheng whispered something to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng nodded and said as kindly as possible: "What are you doing?"

Shi Mou bowed and said boldly: "I... I want to sue the exiled immortal, and sue the exiled immortal to blackmail the merchant."

Shi Mou stuttered and finished this, and then found that he was already nervous and sweating.

There was a silence above the court.

Shi Mou raised his head carefully and found that many people were looking at him strangely.

From their eyes, Shi Mou read a sentence: Nowadays, are there still lunatics suing the exiled immortal?

Ying Zheng asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

Shi Mou took a deep breath and said, "Yes, there is a merchant named Zhou Gui who runs a pastry shop in Xianyang City. Last night, he came to our mansion and cried endlessly. He said that the Exiled Immortal gave him an invitation and ordered him to prepare all the pastries for officials for tomorrow. Among this invitation, the Exiled Immortal said it very clearly that the Shangjun Villa will not pay for these pastries."

After Shi Mou finished speaking, he took out Zhou Gui's invitation from his arms, then walked to the front with a little stiff body and handed it to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch submitted it to Ying Zheng again.

After reading it, Ying Zheng asked Li Shui lightly: "Huai Guzi, but someone has falsely accused you."

Li Shui coughed dryly: "No. I have some impression of Zhou Gui this time. It's just because his pastry shop is the largest, so I gave him a chance to sponsor him. I didn't expect this person to be so ignorant."

The court officials were speechless: What? You blackmailed others and gave them a chance? What is the reason?

Chunyu Yue sighed and said quietly: "Exiled Immortal, you should not be too shameless in being a human being."

Li Shui nodded vigorously: "Yes. Zhou Gui is so shameless this time. It would be fine if he disagrees, but he actually complained. I have never seen such a shameless person. Dr. Chunyu, it is rare that you and me have seen each other once."

Chunyu Yue: “…”

Ying Zheng's face darkened and said to Li Shui: "In this way, are you admitting to extorting Zhou Gui?"

Li Shui shook his head repeatedly: "No. Your Majesty, please read it. I wrote this invitation clearly. I asked him to sponsor it, not to ask him to sponsor it. If he disagrees, he can write a reply and tell me if I don't want it. By then, I will look for someone else. If the deal fails to be righteous, what's the point?"

Ying Zheng looked at the invitation carefully: "You are really kind to write on it. But..."

Ying Zheng couldn't bear to say the following words.

However, Ying Zheng couldn't bear to say it, and Shi Mou said boldly: "Your Majesty, the exiled immortal is an important minister in the court. Even if he uses a tone of discussion, how dare those merchants not obey?"

"I have another list here, which I have obtained overnight visits. Among them, there are more than twenty merchants who are quite dissatisfied with what the exiled immortal did, but they dare not speak out, and have agreed to provide pastries or wine."

Li Shui looked surprised: "So many people are dissatisfied? I finally understand today, what is a quarrel."

Li Shui seemed very sad.

The courtiers looked at him even more despised.

Li Shui said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, it is obvious that this matter is a complete misunderstanding. I was discussing with the merchants, but the merchants thought I was forcing me."

"The merchants have to obey each other. But I think they are willing. Alas, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Ying Zheng said: "Since it is a misunderstanding, we should explain it clearly to the merchants and take back these invitations."

Li Shui agreed repeatedly.

The court officials were a little puzzled, why did Li Shui admit defeat so easily this time?

Shi Mou was also a little strange. He had already prepared for the whole night. He thought Li Shui would deny it in every way or even turn the blame. Unexpectedly, he just explained a misunderstanding and stopped defending him. He even agreed to take back the invitation.

At this time, Wang Wan stood up and said with a smile: "Exiled Immortal, what should anyone do if they refuse to hand over the invitation?"

Li Shui said: "Those who refuse to hand over the invitation must be really going to sponsor it."

Wang Wan shook her head: "Otherwise, those people may be afraid of the power of the banished immortal and dare not not to sponsor it. Even if the banished immortal was forced to take back the invitation under the pressure of His Majesty, they would not hand it over."

Li Shui frowned and sighed helplessly: "These merchants are too sensible, so it's really difficult to do business with them."

Wang Wan suddenly laughed and said to Li Shui: "Isn't this exactly what the banished immortal wants to see?"

Li Shui looked at Wang Wan in wonder: "Prime Minister, what does this mean?"

Wang Wan said bluntly: "Maybe, the exiled immortal wants this effect. Use his identity to force the merchants. If the matter is not big, he can reap the benefits. If the matter is big, he can say it is a misunderstanding."

Li Shui was a little speechless: "There are countless gold and silver in this immortal palace, and I am worthy of their little profits? Prime Minister, do you really think I am so shameless?"

Wang Wan nodded vigorously.

The court officials around them all smiled mysteriously: Yes, aren’t you that shameless?

Li Shui sighed: "With the Prime Minister's opinion, what should I do?"

Wang Wan said helplessly, "I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I really can't think of it. The chess move of the banished immortal is really wonderful."

Many people laughed.

Shi Mou was greatly relieved and thought: Prime Minister, he did take action himself. It seems that this time he is stable.

Li Shui said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, some people nowadays can judge the gentleman's ambition with the heart of villains, and their ministers are helpless."

Ying Zheng said lightly: "Huaiguzi, you said just now that you have countless gold and silver in your family, why do you need these merchants to pay for money to fund pastries and wine? Everyone knows that merchants are profitable, so how can anyone be willing to spend money?"

"In my opinion, you might as well take back all the invitations. The wine and meals will be borne by your Shangjun Villa. In this way, naturally no one will say anything?"

Li Shui said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty has a destiny, I should obey it. But in this way, I will make the case that I was extorting merchants before. Then rumors will spread everywhere, will I lose all my face?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui in confusion and thought to himself: Why are you so proud of your face again now?

Li Shui said again: "As for why we ask merchants to sponsor it, instead of our Shangjun Villa, we have said before, this is a move to lead wealth to wealth later. You must know that there will be countless people watching at a grand event tomorrow. By then, whether it is to supply pastries or wine, they will become famous in one fell swoop. After the grand event is over, business will surely prosper and wealth will be booming."

Li Shui felt that he had already understood what he said, but everyone present looked confused.

Li Shui sighed: The Qin people are too ignorant.

He looked at Li Xin. A few days ago, Li Shui spent three hours talking and finally made Li Xin understand his routine.

In Li Xin's family, some wooden utensils are run. Some of the wooden utensils tomorrow are sponsored by Li Xin.

Therefore, Li Shui said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, do you understand?"

Li Xin nodded and said confidently: "I understand."

Li Shui spread his hands to the court officials: "Everyone, General Li understands, don't you understand?"

Li Xin had a dark face: "Brother Huai, you're so cool, why did you mock me?"

Li Shui laughed dryly: "Sorry, sorry. He said the truth if he was not careful."

Li Xin looked at the sky speechlessly.

Ying Zheng said to Li Shui with some headache: "Huaiguzi, I ordered you to take back the invitation, but you refused. Could it be that you have a better solution? If you have a solution, you might as well give it a try. If you have no solution, do as I want."

Li Shui thought for a while and said, "I dared to ask Your Majesty to issue a decree. He said that the palace had already known about sponsorship. Therefore, Your Majesty ordered those merchants, as long as they were not willing, they could ignore them. Those who were willing to sponsor could go to Shangjun Villa by themselves."

"With Your Majesty as a guarantee, I believe those merchants can rest assured. As for the concern that someone will take revenge later... Your Majesty can make it clear that if someone is suppressed by Shangjun Villa in the future, he can directly complain to Lord Zhao Teng. Lord Zhao Teng came forward to the trial in person."

Zhao Teng was a little speechless: Damn, I am an important official in the court. Now, you will arrange a job for me as soon as you touch your upper lip?

However, Ying Zheng nodded and said, "This method is not bad."

Zhao Teng could only respond helplessly.
