Zhao Cheng helped Wang Jian make a plan with a few words.

Wang Ben stood not far away, beating Wang Li and listening to Zhao Cheng and Wang Jian's discussion.

When he heard that a disaster turned into a plan, the dirty water was completely poured on Li Shui. Wang Ben couldn't help but feel very excited.

In addition to being excited, Wang Ben became even more energetic in his hands, swiping left and right, with a lively rhythm, and the whip was thrown at Wang Li's body, thick and fast, like the drum beat on the battlefield.

Wang Li had been beaten and bruised all over his body. Seeing that his father had a tendency to kill relatives out of righteousness, Wang Li was also a little scared.

He lay on the ground and said angrily: "Father, the plan has been decided, and the Wang family has nothing to worry about. Can the punishment be suspended?"

Only then did Wang Ben come to his senses and quickly stopped the whip, thinking: "I just got a little carried away..."

Wang Ben felt a little sorry for Wang Li in his heart, but he would never show it on his face. He said calmly: "My father punished you heavily today for your own good, do you know?"

Wang Li looked at the whip in Wang Ben's hand and said with a sincere expression: "My child knows, thank you father."

He moves people with emotion, understands people with reason, and convinces people with virtue. Wang Ben is very satisfied with himself.

Not far away, the conspiracy between Zhao Cheng and Wang Jian came to an end.

Zhao Cheng stood up to say goodbye and left overnight without even taking a sip of water.

Wang Li endured the pain and stood up, and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Zhao Cheng, you helped me, the Wang family, when I was in danger. The plan was set, and then you walked away without taking any credit. You are truly a righteous man."

Wang Jian yelled and scolded: "Fart, Zhao Cheng left in a hurry because he was worried about being seen by someone with intentions. What if the plan fails and my Wang family is completely defeated and his Zhao family is implicated?"

"Zhao Gao is willing to help me Wang, but he is interested in Wang's prestige in the military and wants to take advantage of it. Wang Li, you must not be too naive."

Wang Li looked like he suddenly realized something, and then nodded.

Wang Jian sighed in disappointment: "One generation is not as good as the other."

Wang Ben remained silent, feeling a little aggrieved: What does it have to do with me?

…………

At dawn, the news of the fire in Shangjun Courtyard had quickly spread throughout Xianyang.

Thanks to Li Shui's propaganda last night, everyone knew that Wang Li did this.

This kind of thing was so despicable that everyone in Xianyang City scolded him endlessly. After scolding, the people also felt that Wang Li was really stupid and set fire to the fields. Isn't this just trying to cover up the obvious? So everyone started to criticize Wang Li again.

A trace of compassion was born.

What pity is not the character, but the IQ.

However, at noon, the wind direction suddenly changed, and another rumor emerged.

It is said that the fire in Shangjun's courtyard was caused by Huaiguzi himself. The purpose was to cover up the poor harvest and blame Wang Li.

This kind of rumor was spread by the servants of the court officials. The words are the same and the content is similar. Judging from the source of the information, the credibility is much higher.

As a result, the people of Xianyang City suddenly realized that this was the truth.

While lamenting Huaiguzi's resourcefulness and being able to come up with such methods, the people sympathized even more with Wang Li.

It turns out that Wang Li is not a fool, but so what? Isn't his IQ still being crushed?

Wang Jian sent almost all his servants out to inquire about the reputation of Xianyang City.

Judging from the results of the reports, the people all believed that the arson was caused by Huaiguzi himself.

Wang Jian was very satisfied with this and kept nodding.

Wang Li asked in confusion: "Is the judgment of the head of Guizhou important? The key is who your majesty believes. Why do we waste so much manpower on the head of Guizhou?"

Wang Jian twisted his beard and smiled and said: "They are the head of Guizhou, but they are also what the Confucian scholars say is the people's will. Nowadays, the public opinion in Xianyang City is fierce, and Chunyu Yue has always claimed that we should pay attention to public opinion. How dare he stand up and help in this situation?

Sophora millet?”

Wang Li's eyes lit up and he said: "Chun Yu Yue is the leader of the Ph.D. and the teacher of Fu Su. If he doesn't speak, the people who have been following him will naturally not speak either. In this way, Huai Guzi is completely isolated. Gao

, it’s really high.”

Wang Jian laughed loudly and said triumphantly: "I have been playing counter-insurgency all my life. How many enemy generals have I killed using the so-called popular support? Huaiguzi, a liar who is still in his infancy, dares to do whatever he wants. He really doesn't know how to live or die."

At this moment, a house slave ran over and said, "Report, Mr. Li Si returned the gift and asked the villain to report to the master, saying that the person who set the fire last night has not been caught yet and he cannot testify."

Wang Li was displeased: "Li Si, why don't you give me Wang's face?"

Wang Jian waved his hand, drove the slave away, and said calmly: "Li Si has given you enough face. Who didn't know that it was you who set the fire yesterday? Li Si said this, which shows that he is not helping the two."

"Don't worry, when we gain the upper hand, Li Si will be the first to jump out and accuse Huai Guzi of burning the seedlings. This person likes to add icing on the cake, but also likes to add insult to injury."

Wang Li said with admiration: "My grandpa is really a sharp eye, he can completely see through Li Si's thoughts."

Wang Jian laughed and said: "There is a rumor about Li Si. It is said that when this person was not prosperous, he saw the rats in the toilet, which were thin and fearful of people. The rats in the rice barn were bold and fat. So he sighed, the virtuous people are not good.

Just like a rat."

"Listen, this person can feel so emotional when he sees a mouse, which shows how eager he is for fame and wealth. Such a person will definitely seize it as long as he has the opportunity."

Wang Lishen nodded in agreement.

…………

In the palace, Ying Zheng listened calmly and calmly to Si Dou's report.

The emperor knew everything that happened in Xianyang City today.

After Si Tu finished speaking, Ying Zheng waved his hand to let him out, and then ordered someone to call Ji Ming.

Ji Ming limped in and saluted Ying Zheng.

In fact, his injuries have healed, but he has been injured nine times in the past ten days, and he always walks with a limp. He has been limping back and forth, and he can't get over it.

When Ying Zheng saw him walking with a wretched gait, he felt a little unhappy.

He looked at Ji Ming meaningfully and said calmly: "You have heard about the fire in Shangjun's courtyard yesterday, right? There are a lot of discussions now, and there is no consensus. Who do you think caused the fire?"

Ji Ming was so excited that he almost cried, thinking: "How long has it been? How long has it been since your Majesty asked me for my opinion?"

At this moment, Ji Ming felt that he had become the emperor's confidant again.

He cheered up and said with great certainty: "This fire must have been set by Huaiguzi. Huaiguzi has always been cunning and cunning. It seems like he did this kind of thing."

"Besides, my servant also heard that several thieves were caught today. It is said that they were ordered by Huai Guzi to set fire to the fields."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked with great interest, "Where are the thieves?"

Ji Ming said with regret: "I committed suicide out of fear of crime."

Ying Zheng sneered, and then said to Ji Ming: "You live deep in the palace, and you know everything about things outside the palace. You have some abilities."

Ji Ming suddenly panicked: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? Are you mocking me? Are you beating me up? You can't be praising me, right?"

"Are you suspicious of me? You shouldn't. The soldier arranged to die by General Wang admitted that he was ordered by Huaiguzi before committing suicide. Your Majesty will find out as soon as he investigates."

However, before Ji Ming could figure it out, Ying Zheng waved his hand impatiently and drove him away.

Ji Ming limped to the door, jumped his legs cautiously, and stepped out with his left foot first, then his right foot.

Just as Ji Mingyang breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Ying Zheng say behind him: "When you walk in front of me, your body is swaying, and your feet are moving and retreating abnormally. Where is the etiquette? Where is the reverence? How can you be lenient if you are so presumptuous? You will be punished eighty times."

Ji Ming was dragged down with a look of despair.

Just after Ji Ming was sent away, the palace officials came to report again, saying that Wu Jiao was asking for an audience.

These days, Wu Jiao has been by Li Shui's side. Even Ying Zheng subconsciously believed that Wu Jiao belonged to Li Shui.

Two hundred acres of fertile land in Huaiguzi were burned last night, and Wujiao was sent here today. What do you want? Take this opportunity to cancel the bet?

Two hundred acres of fertile farmland were destroyed, and a lot of corn was lost. Therefore, it was reasonable to cancel the bet. But in this way, it was consistent with what the courtiers said.

Today, countless people have come to remonstrate, saying that Huaiguzi's Dai Tian method is a scam. Today, the scam is about to be exposed, and then they jump over the wall and set fire to the fields.

Many courtiers even boldly predicted in front of Ying Zheng that Huaiguzi would definitely come to ask the emperor to cancel the bet.

Now, everything is fulfilled one by one.

Ying Zheng pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "Huai Guzi, we have sent someone after all. That's all, let Wu Jiao come in."

After Wu Jiao came in, Ying Zheng said calmly: "I heard that the fire yesterday was caused by Huaiguzi. What do you think when you have been around Huaiguzi for a long time?"

Wu Jiao bowed and said: "Huai Guzi is a genius. If you want to defeat Wang Li, you must defeat him openly and openly. Why do you need to act like this?"

Ying Zheng asked again: "Today, many courtiers have unanimously accused Huaiguzi. Does Huaiguzi know?"

Wu Jiao said: "Huai Guzi ordered the slave to enter the palace to report this matter to His Majesty. Lord Huai said: The right and wrong will be clear to you when the thousand acres of fertile fields are harvested. Only the losing side needs to do this.

Waiting for something."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly. Then he was startled: "The loser? So, Huaiguzi wants to continue gambling? He has burned two hundred acres of fertile land, and he still wants to continue gambling?"

Wu Jiao said: "Huai Guzi has no intention of giving up. He ordered his servant to tell His Majesty: If he wins by chance, he hopes to cut off Wang Li's head on the spot and no one will be allowed to intercede."

Ying Zheng said quietly: "Do you know that if he loses, his head will also be chopped off. Isn't he afraid?"

Wujiao said: "Looking at it as a slave, Huaiguzi seems to be full of confidence."

Ying Zheng sighed loudly: "After two hundred acres of fertile land were destroyed, you can still win this bet? Is this the self-confidence of the banished immortal?"

In an instant, Ying Zheng's confidence in Li Shui came back, and he firmly believed that he was the banished immortal. Of course, only if Li Shui won the bet, Ying Zheng's trust would continue.

Wujiao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to retire and go guard the farmland."

Ying Zheng said: "There is no need to guard. I will send a team of soldiers. They will work day and night to harvest thousands of acres of fertile land. I want to know the results before noon tomorrow."

Wu Jiao responded excitedly, and then asked: "Your Majesty, if Huai Guzi wins, what about killing Wang Li..."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Since it is a bet on life, it is natural for the loser to lose his life."

Wujiao nodded repeatedly, and then rushed to report the news to Huaiguzi.

Just after Wu Jiao left, the palace officials came to report again, saying that dozens of farmers had been sent by courtiers, claiming to be farmers from Shang Jun's other courtyard, and they had seen Huai Guzi burning the fields last night.

Ying Zheng sneered: "Does it cost ten thousand dollars to buy a Guizhou leader? Huai Guzi is right. When the thousand acres of fertile land are harvested, the rights and wrongs will naturally be clear."

"Take care of these farmers for the time being. If Huaiguzi loses tomorrow, reward them heavily. If Huaiguzi wins tomorrow, trap and kill them."
