Shi Yi seemed not to hear, sitting there playing with the wine glass in his hand without saying a word.
Liu Si saw that Shi Yi didn't seem to take him seriously, and his heart was filled with hatred.
However, he could only endure it, took a deep breath, and began to explain his problem.
Shi Yi didn't seem to care at all, but in fact, he listened very carefully.
This was a good opportunity to seize Liu Si's advantage, how could he miss it.
It turned out that he took advantage of his position as Minister of Rites and being a member of the Liu family to enrich himself during this period.
Some people knew that he did this, but he was a member of the Liu family after all, so they didn't dare to do anything, and no one dared to say anything.
However, since Shi Yi launched the reform, many people gradually began to surface.
He was investigated and arrested.
At the beginning, it was just some officials with not big positions, but these days, high-ranking officials have begun to be strictly investigated.
The Criminal Department next door was also investigating a few people, and one of them played well with Liu Si.
The man gradually couldn't bear it anymore and began to tell some stories about Liu Si who had done things with him.
Ever since that man was arrested, Liu Si had spent a lot of money and fished for people everywhere.
It's not because he has a good heart, but because he has a guilty conscience and is worried about being exposed.
At first, the things that the man mentioned about Liu Si were just trivial matters, so he still had time to deal with it.
Once he is found guilty of taking advantage of his position, accepting bribes, killing people and selling goods, etc., he is not far away from death.
He has indeed done a lot of such things.
And what he said to Shi Yi was just one of them, not all of them.
But Shi Yi is not that easy to fool.
"Although you said that you accidentally killed someone, it seems that with Mr. Liu's methods, you should be able to settle it. Why do you want to drag me in?"
"Tell the truth! If you don't tell me everything, how can I help?"
He knew very well that if he wanted Liu Si to tell everything, he must do something.
That's why I say that.
The reason Liu Si only said one thing was to test Shi Yi.
Seeing that Shi Yi finally spoke, it seemed that he wanted to help him.
Suddenly, Liu Si gradually felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
According to what he understood, once Shi Yi agreed to help him, even if the King of Heaven came, he would still give Shi Yi face.
The Queen will definitely give it, because Shi Yi has saved the Queen many times, and also helped the Queen quell the chaos in the southwest and northwest.
This is also the reason why Liu Si went to Shi Yi instead of his uncle Liu Gui.
It is true that the Liu family is a big family in Qingfeng Country, and it is a big family with a history of more than a thousand years.
However, since he is from this lineage, it may be difficult to get Liu Gui's help.
So Liu Si was betting heavily that what he presented would impress Shi Yi.
After serving as an official in the imperial court for decades, he realized a truth.
That is, no one can resist gold, silver and jewelry, especially eunuchs.
Because eunuchs are defective people without that thing, they love money even more.
Like to gamble heavily with money to vent the dissatisfaction of a defective person.
The reason why some beautiful maids were arranged to serve Shi Yi was because I heard that Shi Yi liked women.
Although he didn't know what Shi Yi, a eunuch, liked about women, but he couldn't do that.
However, he understood that as long as Shi Yi liked it, he would just give it to him.
Moreover, one of the people serving Shi Yi drinking was his newly married concubine.
Even before they had time to get married, something happened, and among the Liu family, the beauty of that concubine was more outstanding.
That's why he boldly asked his concubine to serve Shi Yi drinking.
However, Shi Yi's behavior was not quite what he understood.
However, he didn't care too much. What he cared about was Shi Yi's current attitude. Should he help him? Or not?
Now with Shi Yi's words, he began to slowly tell his crimes one by one.
He didn't even know how many people he killed.
Those people all had disputes with him, or were bribed, and he helped them settle the matter.
There is actually a business of buying and selling official titles. Although this does not match his position, he has the connections.
Some officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs were involved.
Money is a very good thing. As long as you have money, you can do anything.
It was only now that after the reform, the higher-ups began to strictly investigate, and for the sake of safety, he wanted to win over Shi Yi as his backer.
He still wants to use money to buy Shi Yi. He believes that there is nothing that money can't solve, and there are no people who can't solve it.
But he didn't know that Shi Yi was not an ordinary person, let alone an ordinary person.
He hated this kind of people the most.
Shi Yi remembered everything Liu Si said in his mind.
"Okay, very good, Liu Si, Liu Si, you are so courageous. Murder, arson, buying and selling officials, any one of you will be punished by death."
"You still want me to protect you? Do you think it's possible?"
"Do you know who I am? Do you know who proposed the Control Yuan? Who proposed the reform?"
The matter was almost under control, and Shi Yi didn't want to keep pretending, so he simply showed his cards.
Liu Si, who was smart all his life, was confused for a while. He only thought that Shi Yi was a defective person and must like money.
I didn't think too much about the fact that Shi Yi helped to regain the imperial court. It is conceivable that the relationship between Shi Yi and the Queen, how could that little money be able to destroy it?
Does Shi Yi really lack that little money?
This is probably related to the fact that he went to the doctor indiscriminately in a panic. When people are panicked and fearful, they often do things that are unexpected to them.
His judgment on the situation is definitely not as good as usual.
And it is easy to be stubborn and easily deceived.
He will be fooled even by common methods.
"you?"
When Liu Si heard this, he was panicked and still couldn't believe it.
However, Shi Yi seems to be his last life-saving straw now, and he still doesn't want to believe it.
"Shi, Mr. Shi, are you kidding me? We, we are friends now, and you, you have accepted so many gold and silver treasures from me."
Shi Yi sneered and looked at Liu Si as if he were an idiot.
His face remained calm and he said coldly:
"A joke? I don't like joking with strangers. It's our first time meeting each other, so what kind of friends do we think we are?"
"I didn't collect your gold and silver treasures. I just collected them for the treasury temporarily. It's because you didn't understand what I said. Who's to blame?"
"Liu Si, the crimes you have committed are enough to chop your head off countless times. What else can you say to make excuses?"
"From now on, the Liu Mansion is sealed and no one is allowed to leave without my order."
The only thing that made Shi Yi regretful was that Liu Si never mentioned Liu Gui from beginning to end.
In fact, Shi Yi wanted to take advantage of Liu Gui.
However, Liu Gui acted cautiously throughout his life. Ever since the Queen overthrew the previous dynasty, Liu Gui has always maintained a certain distance.
Acting more cautiously, the Queen was unable to grasp anything.
However, Shi Yi felt that catching Liu Si might involve Liu Gui.
Although Liu Si has not mentioned it now, it does not mean that Liu Gui will not be mentioned later.
When the servants heard Shi Yi's words, they became a little flustered and frightened.
But Liu Si burst out laughing.
"Shi Yi, you big eunuch, you are so shameless, how can you seize my Liu Mansion? Are you worthy? Even if the Queen comes, she may not dare."
