Chapter 600 Courtiers Mutual Aid(1/2)

Li Si's teeth were itching with hatred. If he hadn't been unable to beat Li Shui, he would have punched him long ago.

Wang Wan also said quietly: "It's too much to worry about banishing an immortal. We will never do such an unlucky thing."

Li Shui persuaded with sincerity: "How can this be bad luck? This is clearly a plan for a rainy day. The ancients had three holes for cunning rabbits, so why can't we buy a home insurance policy?"

"There is a chance that a good hunter will plunder all the three burrows of a cunning rabbit, but the insurance against home confiscation is a real benefit."

Neither Wang Wan nor Li Si spoke.

They thought Li Shui's proposal was simply unbelievable. How could such a thing exist in the world? They had never heard of it.

However...it seems that there are quite a lot of incredible things done by banishing immortals.

In the end, they pretended to be indifferent and successfully persuaded Li Shui to leave.

After Li Shui left, the two men began to discuss again.

Li Si said: "Actually... if you think about it carefully, the home confiscation insurance scheme of banishing the immortal is indeed a solution."

"If we really commit a crime and have our property confiscated, then our descendants will be hungry and cold. In poverty, there is no possibility of advancement."

"With this home confiscation insurance, future generations will have no worries about food and clothing, and may even have money to study. If they pass the imperial examination in the future and become officials in the court, they may be able to help us rehabilitate our crimes."

"If we live, we can escape the sea of ​​suffering and spend our old age in peace. If we die, we can also strive for a good name after our death."

Wang Wan stroked his beard: "In this way, the imperial examination does have some benefits. The imperial examination is based on ability, not family power. This is actually not bad."

Li Si nodded.

Wang Wan sighed: "But, I always feel unlucky."

Li Si hummed: "Yes, who would expect to confiscate their own family and exterminate their clan?"

The two people discussed it for a while, and finally concluded that if you analyze it rationally, this home confiscation insurance is not bad, but if you think about it carefully, you are just cursing yourself, so you should not buy it.

…………

Li Shui returned to Shang Jun's Courtyard gloomily: "How come no one responds to the good deeds that benefit my colleagues? It's too unlucky to say that, alas, these courtiers are so superstitious. They are so superstitious that I don't even listen to my words to banish immortals."

As soon as Li Shui returned to Shangjun's courtyard, he saw Wang Laoshi waiting there.

Wang Laoshi asked eagerly: "How about banishing the immortal?"

Wang Laoshi and Li Shui came up with the idea of ​​home insurance, so he was very concerned about it.

Li Shui shook his head and expressed Wang Wan and Li Si's concerns.

Wang Laoshi also sighed: "Well...it is expected that they would think this way. After all, it is related to their wealth and life, so they will definitely have some concerns."

Li Shui nodded: "That's all, I'll think of another way."

Wang responded honestly.

…………

Xianyang City seemed to have returned to calm, mainly because Li Shui and Li Xin were busy preparing for their wedding.

When these two demon kings had no time for him to take care of them, it was the chance for the courtiers to take a breather.

Wang Wan invited a group of colleagues to write a letter to Ying Zheng, praising Hu Hai's Buddhism, and then proposed that Hu Hai go to the Peacock Kingdom to study Buddhism in detail.

After the memorial was published, everything fell into the sea.

There is no news at this time, which is not necessarily a bad thing. At least His Majesty has no objection.

Wang Wan, Li Si and others felt that Hu Hai's matter might really be possible.

On the one hand, they campaigned for Hu Hai, and on the other hand, they began to plan carefully.

After all, starting from next month, the money for banishing the immortal will have to be repaid. If the money is not paid in any month, the property and acres will become theirs.

Not only did he lose face, he also lost his family property.

While these two people were busy, they suddenly received another invitation from Li Shui, inviting them to visit Shangjun's Villa.

In fact, not only Wang Wan and Li Si received the invitations, but also all the ministers in the court.

Now the courtiers are extremely wary of Li Shui's invitations. Every time they go to Shangjun Courtyard, they will bleed heavily. There are various consumption traps that cannot be avoided.

But today's invitation is a little different.

The invitation stated that there were absolutely no charges.

This is a routine operation for banishing immortals. It seems free, but in fact, once you arrive, you can't help but do it yourself.

The courtiers were all disapproving and continued to look down.

There is a note below that only one person from each household is allowed to go, and family members are not allowed to bring them.

When the courtiers saw this, their eyes lit up.

How many times they were forced to consume, it was all because of their family members. If they did not bring their family members, with their own determination, they should not let the banished immortals defraud them of their money.

The last one is even more tempting. It says: There is a gift for everyone when you enter the door.

The courtiers all thought: If I go in, take the gifts, and leave immediately, wouldn't I take advantage of the opportunity to banish an immortal?

Taking advantage of the banishment of an immortal is so uncommon. If you can really do it, you can brag about it everywhere.

The courtiers carefully considered the logic and felt that it was impossible to be deceived by the banishment of immortals, so they arrived at Shang Jun's Villa happily according to the agreed time.

…………

Shangjun's courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, obviously preparing to marry the princess.

The courtiers originally thought that the purpose of banishing the immortal today was to let everyone see his wedding plan. But after entering, they found that was not the case.

They were taken to a secluded courtyard.

There are many chairs in the courtyard, and two people are standing in the middle of the courtyard, one is Li Shui and the other is Wang Laoshi.

Some courtiers were impatient and said, "Isn't it polite to come in? Where are the gifts?"

Li Shui waved his hand, and immediately some craftsmen began to distribute gifts.

It is an exquisite wooden box with beautiful patterns painted on it.

After the courtiers got it in their hands, they all speculated: "Is there a piece of jade in it?"

When they opened the box, they were a little dumbfounded.

Inside is a piece of paper.

This paper is very beautiful, with yellow characters on a red background, and it feels very smooth. But... no matter how beautiful it is, it is just a piece of paper.

The courtiers looked at it and saw on the paper: One hundred minus five.

The courtiers looked at each other and looked at the papers in each other's hands.

Li Si and Wang Wan were sitting in the corner, and the two of them were also confused.

Li Si whispered: "Prime Minister, you are well-informed. Do you know what this means?"

Wang Wan shook his head: "The actions of banishing immortals are unpredictable. No matter how knowledgeable I am, I can't guess him."

At this time, Li Shui came out holding a loudspeaker and said with a smile: "My lords, this note has a name, it's called a coupon. It's clearly written on it. Five points off for every one hundred, which means, if you buy something,

At that time, if you have a hundred dollars, you can use the note to offset five dollars."

The courtiers all looked angry and felt that their intelligence had been insulted.

Everyone is an official in the court, do you care about these five cents?

Many courtiers planned to throw the notes home. But Li Shui continued: "My lords, don't worry. There will be a lottery later."

The courtiers who originally planned to leave stayed again.

Li Shui said: "There is a draw every half an hour, and the prizes are worth ten yi of gold, one hundred yi of gold, and one thousand yi of gold. The further you go, the higher the value of the prizes."

The courtiers suddenly became enthusiastic.

If you accidentally draw a thousand yi gold, wouldn't it be completely lost?

Even if you only draw ten pieces of gold, it is still a huge fortune.

So the courtiers all sat on their chairs.

Some courtiers were more cautious and said to Li Shui: "Exiled Immortal, is your prize really worth that much? You wouldn't just pick up a stone and say it's worth ten yi gold, would you?"

After this question came out, the courtiers nodded and felt that this matter must be made clear.

After all, Exiled Immortal... is capable of doing all kinds of immoral things.

Li Shui coughed dryly and said seriously: "Don't worry, sir, I can guarantee this with my personality."

The courtiers suddenly felt even more uneasy.

Li Shui thought for a moment and then said: "You can all testify to each other. If I deceive you, you can go to His Majesty to sue me and ask for His Majesty's ruling."

The courtiers thought about it and felt that it was unlikely that the immortal would be playing tricks today in full view of the public.

What's more, His Majesty is also the Son of Heaven, so even if he is relegated to an immortal for his eloquent sophistry, once Your Majesty determines that he is deceiving, he can still make him compensate.

So the courtiers felt a little relieved.
To be continued...
