After hearing the craftsman's words, Li Shui and Fu Yao both grinned and smiled happily.

Wang Wan, who had been silent, was a little puzzled: The people who retired were Travels in the North. What were they so excited about? Just because before returning the book, they said a few bad words about Chunyu Yue? This master and apprentice... is really hard to describe.

Li Shui smiled and said to Chunyu Yue: "Sister, do you want to call these two Confucian scholars up and explain in person?"

Chunyu Yue said with a dark face: "No need, people don't be angry without knowing it. Isn't they a gentleman?"

Li Shui nodded vigorously: "It's reasonable."

Then he said to the craftsmen: "According to the rules, take them a penny and return the book to them."

The craftsman responded and turned around and was about to go down.

At this time, Chunyu Yue called him again and said lightly: "Wait a minute."

The craftsman looked at Chunyu Yue with a puzzled look. Chunyu Yue lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "You go and tell those Confucian scholars that people have different opinions from others. For example, when reading the Analects of Confucius, some people just learn the tongue, while others read the principle of governing the country and managing the family from it."

"This time, I am not deliberately deceiving people. I am just providing an opinion as a reference. It is understandable that they don't like it. After all, my interest cannot represent all Confucian scholars."

The craftsman said oh, scratched his head and went down.

Li Shui looked at Chunyu Yue and said with a smile: "Sister, you still need to practice. Didn't you agree that you will not be angry if you don't know?"

Chunyu Yue snorted, without answering, and sat down on his own.

Li Xin suddenly exclaimed and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, I suddenly discovered something."

Li Shui asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Xin said: "I found that many people in Xianyang City, especially among the court officials and the powerful, think that Brother Huai, you are shameless."

Li Shui: “…”

Isn’t this nonsense? You still find it?

Li Xin said again: "However, I have never explained so many people slander you behind my back, and you have never been angry. Could this be the legendary people who don't know it and don't feel angry?"

Li Shui grinned and said with a serious look on his face: "That's right, this is my gentleman's way."

Fu Yao said with emotion beside him: "I don't know when my disciple will have the state and mind of the master."

The court officials present were almost vomiting: It’s so heartless, it’s so bad, he’s shameless, he’s shameless, what can he explain? Did he explain clearly?

At this moment, the craftsman came up hurriedly again.

Chunyu Yue asked, "Have you said everything just now?"

The craftsman responded: "The villain said it. But..."

Chunyu Yue had a headache and asked, "But what?"

The craftsman laughed dryly: "However, there are a few more Confucian scholars who want to withdraw from the North Travels."

When Chunyu Yue heard this, a trace of smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Even the great scholars of the times can't help it.

Li Shui asked the craftsman: "What's the reason this time?"

The craftsman said, "Those Confucian scholars said that they bought the North Travels after listening to Dr. Chunyu's words. Unexpectedly... In short, even Dr. Chunyu couldn't believe it."

Chunyu Yue: “…”

Why pulled me out again?

Li Shui nodded: "As the usual way, you will come up to report if you have a refund, especially the reasons for their refund. In this way, I can correct it if there is a copy, and encourage it if there is no."

The craftsman responded and left hurriedly.

Within an hour, the craftsmen did not know how many times they went upstairs. The people who bought books were bustling with people, and Confucian scholars who returned books were endless.

Li Shui didn't care and listened with relish. Fu Yao was a little angry at first, but later he heard too much, and that was the case.

Only Chun Yu Yue was left, restless.

What he cares about the most is reputation, but this time... all Confucian scholars who have retired from the book have expressed their dissatisfaction with themselves. I am afraid that from today on, their reputation will slide to the bottom.

well……

In fact, Chun Yu Yue was not the only one who was restless at the banquet, but also Li Si.

Li Si was originally here to watch the fun today, but never expected that he would become fun.

The two beauties, like flowers and jade, walked around with wine and food. Every time Li Si saw them, he remembered the happy time in the late night.

Unfortunately... the dead are like this, and they will never be found day and night.

The beauty I once had actually made the guy who served the food, which was a great shame to me.

When Li Si looked at Zhao Tuo, fire was about to spurt out of his eyes.

This person can no longer be kept. The wolf's ambition will make more and more flaws.

Li Si made up the calculations. With Zhao Tuo, he probably had enough reputation. It would be better to find an opportunity to impeach him and kill him.

While Li Si was planning, an official quietly walked to Li Si and whispered: "Sir."

Li Si nodded casually.

The subordinate official whispered: "The lower official has been thinking about it for a long time, and there is one thing that I can't figure out."

Li Si said: "What's the matter?"

The official whispered: "The Lord rewarded the two beauties to Zhao Tuo that day. Why did this beauties come to the Exiled Immortal Tower again? Could it be... Zhao Tuo surrendered to the Exiled Immortal?"

After hearing this, Li Si was shocked and almost broke out in a cold sweat.

However, he quickly shook his head and whispered: "No, no. Zhao Tuo almost died at Huai Guzi that day. The craftsmen in Shangjun's courtyard hated Zhao Tuo to the core. He would not surrender to Huai Guzi, and he would not be shameless to this extent."

"Besides, Chunyu Yue saw with his own eyes that these two beauties were sold by merchants to Shangjun's villa."

"From this point, Zhao Tuo should have sold it to the merchant. The merchant took his own initiative and sold it to the Shangjun Villa. It was just a coincidence."

The subordinate nodded. Then he said, "Even if Zhao Tuo did not surrender to the exiled immortal, his actions were really despicable. Lord Tingwei was very grateful to him, but what did he do?"

"First, he asked the adults for money in public, and then he asked the adults for beauty. When the beauty comes, it would be fine if he treats it well, but he actually sold it to a merchant. This is simply humiliating the adults."

Li Si didn't say anything.

The official whispered again: "I heard from some servants that yesterday... Zhao Tuo sold the sword given by the Lord."

Li Si's eyes shrank and said in a deep voice: "What?"

The official whispered: "According to rumors of servants in Zhao Tuo's mansion, this sword was originally hung in Zhao Tuo's bedroom, but now it has disappeared."

"This sword may have been lost or given away. The biggest possibility is to be sold."

Li Si's face turned pale and nodded, "Okay, okay. Zhao Tuo really has the means and courage. I didn't even see it in the past."

At this time, Li Si had completely thought of killing.

In his opinion, Zhao Tuo was too much and he was just pretending to be a monkey.

The subordinate official continued to say to Li Si: "Sir, the subordinate official knows that adults love talents as much as their lives, and cannot bear to treat Zhao Tuo. However, this person is attracted by his admiration for his love for talents, and deliberately makes arrogant and repeatedly hurts them."

"The servants and colleagues all think that the way to control the subordinates is to give their kindness and power. Now, we have seen the kindness of the great master and admire it very much. However, the power of the great master has not been revealed yet."

"If there is only power but no grace, then the people's hearts will not be attached, and if there is any change, they will scatter. But if there is only grace but no grace, then the people's hearts will fluctuate and will deceive the master. Please think twice."

Li Si stroked his beard and felt very happy.

He restrained his excitement and asked lightly: "Is this what you mean, or..."

The official said: "This is the meaning of all colleagues who follow the adults. We all think that Zhao Tuo is really too much. It is tolerant, who is unbearable? Please ask the adults to lower their thunderous anger to face it. Without punishment, how can reward be demonstrated?"

Li Si nodded and thought to himself: OK, OK. When I was sleepy, someone sent me a pillow. It’s not in vain that I trained you for so many years, and I know me.

However, Li Si sighed and shook his head slightly: "No, Zhao Tuo came to my disciple in the past with sincerity. How can I bear to harm me now?"

The official said in a heartache: "Sir, this is the moment, and that is the moment. In the past, Zhao Tuo may have come with sincerity, but now he is full of scheming."

"The adults cherish talents, and the officials admire them very much. But is Zhao Tuo really a talent? The battle of Nanyue was simply a laughing stock. Only the adults were broad-minded and never had any worries with him. If it were others, they would have driven him away long ago."

Li Si sighed: "However..."

The official bowed and said with a sincere look on his face: "Sir, please make a decision early, otherwise, Zhao Tuo will be left behind, but countless loyal and kind people will be forced away."

Li Si nodded helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's follow you."

The official immediately felt very happy.

Li Si asked again: "How do you plan to punish Zhao Tuo?"

The official whispered: "We have discussed it privately and are searching for evidence of Zhao Tuo's crime. Once it is verified, we will impeach His Majesty."

Li Si nodded slightly and said, "No one is perfect. Anyone will have some minor problems and small flaws. You should not catch up on the wind and shadows, and hold on to a small matter."

"It's like Feng Renji, who impeached the distant relatives of my husband's servants in the court and stole other people's fruits in the court. This is simply a joke."

The subordinate official replied with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, the subordinate official will definitely do this matter properly."

Li Si's words on the surface mean that you should not impeach randomly and deal with Zhao Tuo with a small matter.

It sounds like Li Si is quite tolerant and warned his subordinates to let Zhao Tuo go.
