When eating the first steamed bun, Zhao Teng's thought was: I'm so hungry, I want to eat.

When eating the second steamed bun, Zhao Teng's thought was: Something is wrong, but I am so hungry and I want to eat.

When eating the third steamed bun, Zhao Teng's thought was: I'm a little hungry, but this is wrong.

Zhao Teng only ate half of the fourth bun and couldn't finish it anymore. Now his heart was bleeding: This is too expensive.

In fact, everyone in Li Shui has been mentally prepared for the fact that Li Shui’s things are expensive. It doesn’t matter if you buy something at a high price. Who among you hasn’t bought it yet?

But! Today is different.

Zhao Teng bought it today. It was very expensive.

And the key point is that except for him who bought it expensively, everyone else didn’t buy it expensively.

In the past, everyone was slaughtered together, but now only I am left to be slaughtered.

What the hell is going on?

Therefore, Zhao Teng glared at Li Shui.

This kind of glare is completely uncontrollable anger.

Li Shui sighed helplessly, and then said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, did you see? This guy just had his fill for less than a quarter of an hour, and he immediately turned to me like this."

Li Xin said: "This is also a helpless matter. There are some people in the world who like to repay kindness with hatred. What can Brother Huai do?"

Li Shui said: "Yes, what can I do? But one good thing about me is that I like to give favors to others. No matter how others treat me, I must have a sincere heart and get along with them seriously.

"

"For example, Mr. Nei Shi, although he treated me like this, I still regard him as a close friend. I also believe that he will be influenced by me."

Li Xin said with some disbelief: "Is it possible? Why do I think it's impossible?"

Li Shui laughed and said: "I will definitely do it. Look carefully, although he has anger on his face, he keeps eating the buns I brought. Isn't this influenced by me?"

Zhao Teng was furious: Damn, I bought the buns myself, can I not eat them? The court meeting is about to start, can I not eat them quickly?

It's a pity that Zhao Teng's mouth was full, and even if he wanted to refute, he couldn't speak.

At this time, a young eunuch came out and said with a smile to the civil and military ministers waiting outside: "The officials are ready to enter the palace."

Zhao Teng stuffed the last bun into his mouth, followed everyone, and walked slowly towards the main hall.

It's a pity that Zhao Teng was a little anxious to stuff this bun. The bun couldn't go up or down, and it got stuck in his throat.

Zhao Teng wanted to take out the bun, but he couldn't. He wanted to swallow it, but he couldn't do it.

Zhao Teng was choked and rolled his eyes.

At this time, Li Shui came over in a humble manner and said to Zhao Teng: "Master Nei Shi, I also have a pot of water and a piece of gold here. Do you want to buy it?"

Zhao Teng gritted his teeth and nodded.

then……

One bite, two bites, three bites, four bites...

In an instant, Zhao Teng lost four pieces of gold.

Feeling distressed.

Chunyu Yue couldn't stand it anymore. He walked to Li Shui and said helplessly: "Master Nei Shi, I have never had any enmity with you. I can't say we are on good terms with each other, but at least there is no conflict. Why are you doing this?

"

Zhao Teng glanced at Chunyu Yue with some gratitude.

Helping people when they need it is always touching.

Li Shui coughed dryly and said to Chunyu Yue: "It's good to teach my sister-in-law that Master Nei Shi has no enmity or enmity against me, but for people like us who do business... it doesn't matter whether we have enmity or not."

Yes, whoever is caught counts."

Chunyu Yue: "..."

Li Shui's words were just a few words about who he saw cheating whom.

The other party is already so straightforward and shameless, so what else is there to say?

Zhao Teng waved his hand, smiled bitterly, and said to Chunyu Yue: "Thank you very much, doctor. Today... I will consider myself unlucky."

Boss Li Shui was unhappy and murmured to Li Xin, "Think you are unlucky? I didn't buy or sell by force."

Li Xin whispered: "Brother Huai, don't be sad. As time goes by, you will realize your painstaking efforts."

The surrounding courtiers were very angry with Li Shui, and even more helpless with Li Xin.

Li Xin, this guy, really doesn't hurt when he stands and talks. Anyway, you don't have to spend money in Shangjun Courtyard, so of course you can work hard.

By this time, the court meeting had already begun.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Teng and said, "How is the matter I ordered you to investigate?"

Zhao Teng bowed his hand to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, I have completely investigated the matter. The ghosts in Mr. Qi's mansion are mostly nonsense."

Mr. Qi broke into cold sweat immediately.

If there is no ghost, then there is an adulterer. When the time comes, wouldn't it be a bad thing if Your Majesty asks Zhao Teng to investigate the adulterer?

Mr. Qi quickly said: "Things like ghosts come and go without a trace. I wonder how Mr. Nei Shi investigated it. Is there any negligence?"

Boss Zhao Teng was not happy.

Mr. Qi, what does this mean? Do you think you are incompetent?

Zhao Teng chuckled and said: "Sir, I think I made no mistakes. There are indeed no ghosts in your house. If you don't believe it, I can provide evidence."

Mr. Qi thought for a while and said, "Then I'll wait and see."

Producing evidence that there is a ghost is very simple, just catch the ghost and bring it here.

But... it is even more difficult to come up with evidence that there is no ghost. Why do you say there is no ghost in the house? This is impossible to prove.

Therefore, Mr. Qi really wanted to see it and see how Zhao Teng could prove it.

Zhao Teng said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I need to bring some witnesses."

Ying Zheng nodded and said calmly: "Yes."

Later, Zhao Teng brought over a maid.

This maid looked gorgeous. After going to the palace, although she was a little nervous and frightened, her eyes were still secretly observing.

When she saw some officials who were not that old and looked pretty good-looking, the maid quietly glanced at her, as if she was trying hard to sell herself: Sir, you see that I am young and pretty, do you want to buy me back?

Be a concubine.

When the courtiers saw this scene, they secretly thought: Master Qi, isn't he a master of Confucianism? Why are the maids in the mansion so frivolous?

In fact, this maid was not frivolous at first, but... after spending a long time with Mr. Qi's daughter-in-law, she inevitably became frivolous.

If you follow the same example, the one who is close to the ink will be black.

Zhao Teng said to the maid: "Did you see a ghost that day?"

The maid nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen you."

Zhao Teng said: "Please tell me in detail what happened that day."

The maid responded and said: "That day, I saw a white shadow, swaying and floating, trying to enter the young lady's room."

"At that time, I took a closer look, and oh my, that face, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, was clearly that of the dead young master."

"The young master smiled at me and said: Taohua, you serve the master faithfully. Very good, very good. I will reward you heavily in the future."

"Then, the young master arrived in the room. Not long after, the young master and the young lady were talking and laughing, and then there was the sound of the bed legs squeaking."

"I was too embarrassed to listen to the sound from behind, so I stepped back."

The courtiers around me all thought to themselves: Judging from your demeanor, you don't look like someone who would be embarrassed to listen.

Li Shui questioned: "What? If you see a ghost, aren't you afraid?"

The slave named Taohua said: "Why are you afraid? He is my young master. Even if the master becomes a ghost, isn't he still my master? As a maid of the Qi family, whether I am a human or a ghost,

All must serve faithfully.”

Li Shui: "..."

He could only give the maid a thumbs up: You can do it. You can do it!

Master Qi said to Zhao Teng: "Master Nei Shi, according to this person's confession, this ghost clearly exists."

Zhao Teng said calmly: "Master Qi, don't worry, there will be more to come."

He said to the maid: "Is everything you said true?"

The maid nodded repeatedly and said, "It's all true. I can guarantee it with my life."

Zhao Teng hummed with satisfaction, and then said to the maid: "Is everything you said true?"

The maid said seriously: "Everything I said is true."
