Li Shui looked at Zhao Gao with concern: "Master Zhao, why are you betting on this? What if the mushrooms don't work on Heitan and he deliberately wrongfully accuses you, wouldn't your death be somewhat unworthy?"

Zhao Gao's face turned livid: "I don't need you to sell it."

Li Shui then said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, mushrooms are so precious, but they are wasted on just a mere assassin."

Ying Zheng said: "It involves the innocence of important ministers, how can we not be cautious?"

Li Shui snorted and said to himself: "That's true. After all, Mr. Zhao is the magistrate of Zhongche Mansion. If he has other intentions, Your Majesty will be in danger and the Qin Dynasty will be in danger."

Li Shui muttered something there, but Zhao Gao's eyes lit up.

Li Shui's behavior was obviously scared. So Zhao Gao took advantage of the victory and pursued him, saying: "Sir Huai, if Heitan eats the mushroom and tells the truth, it will prove that I was framed and that you taught him his rhetoric.

Yes, what should you do?"

Li Shui scratched his head and said: "Those who make false accusations will sit down and be punished in accordance with the law."

Zhao Gao nodded and said: "Okay, what a false accuser. If it turns out that Mr. Huai is falsely accusing me, I hope Mr. Huai will die generously and not take the gold medal to avoid death."

Li Shui chuckled: "Why can't I exchange my life for the gold medal for immunity from death? This thing was given to me by His Majesty. Do you think that His Majesty's reward is not as valuable as my humble life? Are you despising His Majesty's authority? I see you

There is a disobedient heart."

Zhao Gao was speechless. But he did not refute. Anyway, he has been framed as a traitor now. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Let's wait for the mushrooms. When the mushrooms come, I really want to understand naturally. There is no need to do it with Huai Guzi now.

War of words.

At the same time, Zhao Gao felt a little lucky. Originally, Li Shui had won a great victory in the abolition of the patent law. Unexpectedly, this man made a fool of himself again, and others framed him.

Now we just have to wait for the mushrooms to arrive and the truth will be revealed. By then, Li Shui will have made a false accusation. He is simply asking for his own death.

While Zhao Gao was rejoicing, Li Shui suddenly said: "Master Zhao, my death-free gold medal counts as two lives. How about this, if you are innocent, I will hand over the death-free gold medal and commit suicide. I will give you both lives."

If you really have objections, how about you and your brother Zhao Cheng commit suicide together?"

Zhao Gao looked at Li Shui doubtfully and thought: "Is he really sure, or is he just being mysterious and bluffing?"

Li Shui asked with a smile: "What? Mr. Zhao doesn't dare to gamble?"

Zhao Gao said calmly: "If you risk the lives of your loved ones because of a momentary dispute, is that still a human being?"

Li Shui sighed and said: "It turns out that Mr. Zhao is so kind and righteous. I really didn't notice it in the past."

Zhao Gao chuckled and did not respond.

He is not Wang Li, and he will not jump into the fire pit after being provoked by Li Shui. Although the chance of Li Shui winning this time is low, Zhao Gao still does not want to take risks.

After a while, Heitan ate mushrooms, told the truth, and was able to take away Li Shui's death-free gold medal, and Zhao Gao was satisfied. At that time, he would add insult to injury, pursue and beat Li Shui, and take away Li Shui's participation in government affairs.

Right, the purpose is achieved.

Zhao Gao was secretly planning when he heard footsteps coming from outside. The mushrooms were delivered.

When Wang Li brought out the mushrooms, he took them out casually from his body. But now, the mushrooms were put in a brocade box, making them extremely precious.

Ying Zheng did not delay, pointed directly at Heitan and said: "Let him take it."

Hei Tan cooperated and opened his mouth. He stuffed a mushroom into his mouth and Hei Tan raised his neck and swallowed it.

Li Xin pulled Li Shui into a corner and whispered: "Brother Huai, what will we do in a while?"

Li Shui said in a low voice: "Zhao Gao is no better than Wang Li. Wang Li made many mistakes first, and your majesty wanted to beat the Wang family, so I killed Wang Li and your majesty acquiesced."

"But this Zhao Gao usually has your Majesty's trust. Today, even if there is a mushroom as a witness, we cannot kill him rashly. This person's life and death can only be controlled by your Majesty. If I overstep my authority, Your Majesty will definitely not like it."

Li Xin was a little speechless: "Brother Huai, what I mean is, if Hei Tan tells the truth, what will you do?"

Others didn't know the origin of Heitan, but Li Xin knew it. Li Xin even heard about Li Shui's brainwashing of Heitan.

Collusion with Zhao Gao and plotting to assassinate the emperor are all nonsense. Now that this guy has eaten mushrooms, once he tells the truth, it will be a false accusation against Li Shui.

Li Shui glared and said, "Didn't I just say that? Even if Heitan tells the truth, we can't kill Zhao Gao. Even if Zhao Gao has the intention to rebel, His Majesty must make the decision."

Li Xin gave Li Shui a thumbs up: "You can do it, I'm convinced of you."

Li Xin suspected that Li Shui not only brainwashed Hei Tan, but also brainwashed himself. Otherwise, how could he be so sure that Zhao Gao and Hei Tan were a group?

After a short time, Hei Tan's eyes began to blur.

The courtiers all stared at Heitan nervously. They had all heard of Heitan's name, but this time they saw it with their own eyes. Heitan would decide Zhao Gao's life and death, and even determine the future direction of the government. Who can

not nervous?

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Wan.

Wang Wan understood, came out and asked, "Who are you? Tell me your name."

Heitan said: "I'm going to Zou Mu."

Zhao Gao couldn't help but be happy: He betrayed you in the first sentence?

Wang Wan asked again: "Isn't your name Heitan?"

Heitan said: "My real name is Zou Mu, Heitan is my nickname."

Zhao Gaole couldn't come out anymore.

Wang Wan asked again: "Why did you want to assassinate Huaiguzi?"

Heitan said: "His Majesty is difficult to kill at the moment, so Master Zhao Gao suggested that we wait and kill Huaiguzi first. Killing Huaiguzi can weaken Qin. Otherwise, how can Xiang Liang do anything in the Chu land if the world becomes increasingly stable?"

With a plop, Zhao Gao collapsed to the ground.

He shook his head vigorously and murmured to himself: "If it's fake, it must be fake. Huai Guzi taught him what it said."

Li Shui looked at Zhao Gao with sympathy: "Can earth mushrooms also be fake?"

Wang Wan looked at Ying Zheng, who had no expression on his face and said, "Keep asking."

Wang Wan asked again: "Zhao Gao, do you have any intention of treason?"

Heitan said: "What is rebellion?"

Wang Wan said: "Change the dynasty, seek the country and usurp the throne."

Heitan was silent for a while and said dullly: "Master Zhao does not want to change the dynasty. He just wants to kill Your Majesty and support Young Master Hu Hai to ascend the throne."

Wang Wan asked a few more questions, and all the answers were exactly the same as when he was sober.

Finally, the efficacy of the mushroom gradually disappeared, and Heitan woke up.

Li Shui suddenly asked Li Xin: "Who said just now that you are willing to die?"

Li Xin said: "It seems to be named Zhao. Mr. Zhao Teng, is it you?"

Zhao Teng's face turned green: "General Li, this is not a joke."

Zhao Gao suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards the brocade box crazily, shouting: "I want to eat mushrooms. I am willing to eat mushrooms to prove my innocence."

There was only one mushroom left, how precious it was? The little eunuch holding the brocade box quickly stepped back.

Seeing that Zhao Gao was about to pounce on the brocade box, one of the courtiers stretched out his foot and kicked Zhao Gao hard, knocking him down.

The courtier turned around and saw that the one who had done the trick was Dr. Zhou Qingchen.

"This sycophant is trying to please Huaiguzi again." Many people cursed secretly in their hearts.

After Zhao Gao was kicked down, several Qin soldiers came over and helped Zhao Gao up.

She said she was lifting him up, but actually she was twisting his two arms, which was equivalent to controlling him.

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Tied."

Then, he pointed at Heitan and said, "It's tied up."

The two people were immediately tied up. When Heitan was tied up, his face was indifferent. Zhao Gao was crying and kept shouting injustice: "Mushrooms have no effect on Heitan, this person has been lying..."

The contrast between the two was so sharp that the courtiers shook their heads: Mr. Zhao, who is in a high position and has a high position, is worse than an assassin. It's really... well, it's hard to explain in words.

Ying Zheng ordered the young eunuch: "Lock them two up and torture them severely. We must find out the truth."

The young eunuch agreed, and finally, Ying Zheng left with a livid face.

As for Li Shui, Li Shui knew that Ying Zheng was in a bad mood and had already stayed away from him.

After Ying Zheng left with all the civil and military officials, Li Xin curiously asked Li Shui: "Brother Huai, how did you do it?"

Li Shui said: "Brainwashing is a very clever magic. It makes you believe in something. The reason is very complicated. I can't explain it to you in a moment."

"In short, after I ordered people to brainwash Heitan, I once fed him with fairy wine. When he was unconscious, I interrogated him for a long time to make sure that he believed what I taught him."

"That's why I am so confident today that I want to bet my life with Zhao Gao. Unfortunately, Zhao Gao is too cautious, otherwise Zhao Cheng would be in prison now."

While the two were talking, the craftsman guarding the door came in and said excitedly: "Sir, we have collected several million more money today."

Li Shui said calmly: "It's just a few million dollars, what does it mean? Don't be so panicked and let Brother Li see the joke."

Li Xin said nothing, feeling a little confused: "Is this... are you trying to show off to me?"

Li Shui stretched and walked out of the house. He saw Tietou and Ji Nu waiting outside, each looking more reserved than the other.

Li Shui nodded towards Tietou, then looked at Ji Nu in confusion: "Why did you come with me?"

Ji Nu gave a dry laugh and said, "I don't know where I'm going. It was Brother Tietou who invited me to come here."

Tietou smiled honestly.

Tietou invited Ji Nu to come to Shang Jun's Courtyard for his own reasons. In Tietou's view, this place is full of wealthy people, even Niu Calf, his childhood playmate, has already become famous.

Everyone he saw had a strong sense of inferiority and a sense of loneliness. Until he met Ji Nu, this guy was even more depressed and unlucky than himself.

Naturally, Tietou felt close to Ji Nu and wanted to be friends with him.

When Ji Nu arrived in Xianyang City, he had no friends. When he saw that Tietou was willing to accept him, he happily got together with him.

Moreover, both of them have entered the patent office and applied for patents, and they have something in common.

Li Shui thought about it and felt that this was not a bad idea, so he said to Ji Nu: "You can stay here. It just so happens that my Immortal Chamber is short of manpower. Just be a member of the team and take care of arithmetic matters."

Ji Nu suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

Li Shui was startled and thought: "Does this person have some kind of mental illness? Why is he still hurting himself?"
