Not long after, Ji Ming and his people arrived in high spirits.

He bowed politely to Li Shui, and then said with a smile: "Master Huai, your Majesty invites you."

Politeness is superficial, arrogance is deep inside.

Now that Huaiguzi has committed such a big thing, he, Ji Ming, can finally take revenge and finally have an explanation for the injury on his butt.

Li Shui looked at Ji Ming and said with a smile: "Why are you so eager to stand in line every time? Have you never thought about the danger if you stand wrongly?"

Ji Ming said with a smile: "It is a serious crime of treason. If you can be on the wrong side of this kind of thing, then my life will be in vain."

Li Shui added: "What if I am framed?"

Ji Ming added: "How is this possible? The witnesses and material evidence are all there, so how can you deny it?"

Li Shui chuckled: "We'll see."

The group of people walked towards the palace. On the way, Ji Ming proudly said to Wu Jiao: "If Huai Guzi wants to rebel, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away with it."

Wujiao didn't answer.

Ji Ming added: "Why don't you correct Huai Guzi later and clear the relationship with him? I will say a few nice words in front of His Majesty. You and I are both from the palace, and I can't bear to see you beheaded."

"

Wu Jiao gritted his teeth and said: "I have never heard that Mr. Huai wants to rebel. How can I correct him? Even if Mr. Huai does, I have no knowledge and have never participated in it. Why should I be punished? Your Majesty is aware of everything and will definitely not do it.

You will have wronged me."

Ji Ming rolled his eyes and had nothing to say. There is no way to refute this. If you refute it, you are accusing His Majesty of being stupid and unable to recognize loyalty or traitor.

So Ji Ming turned to Li Xin and said: "General Li, you are very close to Huaiguzi on weekdays. I'm afraid you will be implicated. Why don't you expose Huaiguzi later..."

Li Xin didn't answer and slapped him casually. Ji Ming let out an ouch and fell to the ground. With a pop, two teeth came out.

This time Ji Ming finally became honest.

When several people rushed to the palace, they found Ying Zheng waiting for them with a gloomy look. Next to Ying Zheng, stood Wang Li with a proud look on his face, and a waiter from the wine shop was kneeling nearby.

Li Shui saluted Ying Zheng, then looked around, and soon saw Wang Laoshi, who was naked and covered in bruises.

Li Shui walked over quickly, took off his robe and put it on Wang Laoshi.

Wang Laoshi raised his head feebly, and when he saw Shi Li Shui coming, he burst into tears: "Sir, they framed you, and I didn't say anything."

Li Shui nodded. After a moment of silence, Li Shui said again: "You should say, why do you have to suffer the pain of flesh and blood?"

Wang Laoshi shook his head and pointed to the new shoes not far away: "My cousin talked a lot of nonsense. I feel guilty."

Li Shui smiled: "It's none of your business. Don't worry, whoever hit you last night, I want you to hit him back in person after a while."

Wang Li said coldly from the side: "I was the one who hit you. What? Mr. Huai still wants to take revenge."

Li Shui didn't even look at him.

In his eyes, Wang Li was already mortal. There was no need to compete with the dead.

However, Wang Li thought that Li Shui was afraid and therefore did not dare to fight. He suddenly became proud and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the general has already investigated clearly. The person yesterday was the rebel Xiang Lian. He had an affair with Huaiguzi.

Mixed together, Huaiguzi is very suspicious."

Li Shui said nothing, and Li Xin retorted from the side: "You haven't seen the person, how can you be sure that he is Xiang Lian?"

At this time, an old man with white beard and hair next to him smiled slightly and said: "Because I cut off Xiang Lian's feet. I remember his appearance clearly, and I can definitely match Xiang Lian's feet.

Coachman, I have given a very clear description of this man's words and deeds. The facts are conclusive, General Li need not doubt."

Li Xin chuckled: "In order to frame Brother Huai, even General Wang, who was retiring at home, came out of the mountain. It's not easy."

Li Shui was stunned: "Is this old man the famous Wang Jian?"

Wang Jian smoothed his beard and said calmly: "Someone wants to assassinate Your Majesty. How can I just sit back and watch?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and asked calmly: "What do you have to say?"

Li Shui said: "I don't know whether Xiang Lian is a rebel, because I didn't know him before yesterday. If he visits me once, I will be a traitor. That would be ridiculous."

"Perhaps Xiang Lian knows that I am an important minister of the country, a pillar of the Qin Dynasty, and the most loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty, so he deliberately visited me as a countermeasure."

Wang Li rolled his eyes: "An important minister of the country? The great leader of Qin? Don't you even blush when you say this?"

Li Shui stood there and said frankly: "With just one necklace, how can you indiscriminately describe the important ministers of the country as traitors? If the necklace accuses Wang Wan, Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Wang Jian. These ministers

, do you want to win it too?”

"According to this reasoning, if the rebels want to rebel, they don't need to use weapons. They can just declare that Mr. So-and-so is their accomplice."

Wu Jiao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What Master Huai said is good. Even if Xiang Lian is arrested, the authenticity of his confession may be compromised."

Ying Zheng was sitting on the throne, looking calm and composed. He was not in a hurry, only those with a guilty conscience should be anxious.

He had been thinking about whether Li Shui was a rebel.

If so, kill him without mercy. If not, continue to use the alchemy.

You must be cautious in this matter, after all, this person still has the ability to make alchemy. It would be a great loss if he was killed unjustly and he missed the opportunity to become an immortal.

Thinking of this, he asked Wang Li: "Xiang Lian, haven't you caught it yet?"

Wang Li looked ashamed and said: "I haven't caught it yet. But checkpoints have been set up within a hundred miles. The necklace will never escape."

Ying Zheng nodded.

Wang Li added: "Your Majesty, Xiang Lian is from Chu, and Huaiguzi is also from Chu. They may have known each other for a long time. I will ask your Majesty to send a team of people straight to the Chu land to investigate the details of these two people. I will also visit you by the way.

The whereabouts of Xiang Liang."

Ying Zheng said: "Yes."

Wang Li was full of energy and said: "Also, Huaiguzi is very likely to have accomplices. General Li Xin, the eunuch Wujiao, the tenants in Shangjun's courtyard, and the clerks in the wine shop, they are all suspicious. Also.

, Birds of a feather flock together, and even the alchemists in the palace are unreliable.”

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Li Xinzhong is loyal and courageous, I can trust him. Wu Jiao grew up in the palace and only got acquainted with Huai Guzi after he entered the palace. He cannot be a rebel. As for the tenant farmers in the fields and the waiters in the wine shop,

, ordered people to keep them under guard. They are not allowed to leave Xianyang until the matter is found out."

A guard responded and hurried to deliver the order.

Ying Zheng thought for a while and then said: "Bring those alchemists here and ask them to see what they have to say."

Li Shui's heart beat: "This is terrible. I usually beat or scold those alchemists, they won't take the opportunity to retaliate."

After a while, the alchemists arrived.

After they arrived, they all knelt on the ground and cried and said: "Huaiguzi is plotting rebellion, what does it have to do with us? I beg your majesty to give you a clear warning."

Hou Ji, in particular, screamed the loudest: "Your Majesty, we and Huaiguzi are inseparable. Who knows in Xianyang City? How can we be his accomplices?"

The alchemists suddenly became enlightened and shouted one after another: "Yes, we and Huai Guzi are sworn in. Everyone knows this."
