What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Chapter 141 Gift to the Rain God

All the members of the Shi Party looked at Gu Xi as if he were a dead person.

For deceiving the emperor in public, Zhenxibo will not survive today.

Soon, the eunuch came back with a large tray in his hand, which was filled with golden ingots.

And the weight was not light. The eunuch was still a little out of breath when he brought it into the hall.

Gu Xi took the large tray from the eunuch and held it above his head so that everyone could see it clearly.

Then he made up a few more lyrics and shouted to the air:

"Lord Rain God, I sent you one hundred taels of gold from His Majesty. Please accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gold and the large tray disappeared.

Everyone in the hall, except Chu Zhao, was horrified.

Such a large tray just disappeared out of thin air. Moreover, it was something from the palace, so it definitely couldn't be a prop.

Emperor Jichang stood up excitedly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Lord Qi can actually communicate with the gods!"

He looked towards Gu Xi with anticipation in his eyes.

Praying for rain was secondary. As an emperor, ruling the world, what was the most lacking? Of course, immortality.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could ask the gods for some panacea?

Gu Xi laughed secretly in his heart, but pretended to be serious on the surface.

"Your Majesty, can we search the Shen Mansion now?"

Emperor Jichang waved his hand and said, "Approved! I order the Imperial Guards to search personally!"

Shen Kun's face turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground trembling, his eyes looking at Shi Huairen.

Shi Huairen narrowed his eyes and looked at him threateningly.

Shen Kun hung his head dejectedly. He knew that he was finished. Moreover, he could not confess that it was Lord Shi who asked him to say that Qi Dasheng was an evil star, otherwise, his end would be even more miserable.

Shi Huairen looked at Gu Xi again. Although he didn't know how this man made things disappear out of thin air, he didn't believe that he was a messenger of God.

His spies reported last night that they had found out that when Qi Dasheng first entered the military camp, he said that he was from the Qi family in Sucheng. That family has declined, but the daughter of the Qi family married Gu Yunqing, the eldest son of the Gu family. He suspected that Qi Dasheng was arranged by the remnants of the Gu family to seek revenge.

That's why he designed today's drama, with the aim of bringing down Qi Dasheng.

The Royal Guards were quite efficient. In just half an hour, they had carried several large boxes of things into the palace.

The leading Royal Guard said:

"Your Majesty, these are the gold and silver seized from the Shen Mansion, and there are also some silver notes, which I am taking to the bank to exchange."

Gu Xi opened the boxes one by one, and found quite a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

Gu Xi pretended to be a god, so the royal guards did not dare to hide anything during the search. Who would dare to hide something offered to the gods?

Gu Xi sneered, "Tsk tsk, Lord Shen, how much is your salary? Can you explain where these properties come from?"

Shen Kun didn't even have the heart to quibble. He couldn't confess that these were all gifts from others who asked him to do things for them, right? Especially since the bulk of the money was given by someone on Shi Huairen's side.

Emperor Jichang's face was gloomy, "Come here, take Shen Kun to the prison!"

When the silver exchanged for the silver notes arrived, Gu Xi did the same thing and put the boxes of gold and silver into the space.

The ministers were all shocked as they watched the boxes disappear one after another before their eyes.

Is this something humanly possible?

It seems that this Qi Dasheng might really be a god!

Everyone looked at Gu Xi with eyes full of awe.

Even Shi Huairen began to doubt his own judgment.

After all the boxes were packed, Gu Xi said slowly:

"Your Majesty, the Rain God has calmed down. Tomorrow, send someone to prepare 500 kilograms of meat, 500 kilograms of grains, and 500 kilograms of fruits and vegetables, and send them to the altar of the Temple of Heaven. At noon, you will go up on the altar to pray for rain, and it will surely rain!"

Emperor Jichang now believed Gu Xi's words without a doubt. After announcing the adjournment of the court, he left Gu Xi alone and went to the imperial study.

"My dear Minister Qi, since you can communicate with the gods, do you know what kind of elixir there is in heaven that can help mortals live longer and healthier?" Emperor Jichang looked eagerly.

Over the years, he has asked Taoist priests to refine elixirs for him many times, but the effect has been minimal. He can clearly feel that his body is aging bit by bit.

Gu Xi looked at Emperor Jichang's obviously tall body, squinted his eyes and counted with his fingers, then asked:

"Your Majesty, have you often felt weak, had headaches and chest tightness, occasional palpitations, and blurred vision in recent years?"

These are the most common symptoms among the elderly with three highs.

Emperor Jichang was shocked, he had all these symptoms.

"How did Lord Qi know this?"

His doctors probably didn't dare to reveal his physical condition. Even if Qi Dasheng knew medicine, he didn't take his pulse.

Was it really calculated?

Gu Xi looked mysterious and said:

"The secret cannot be leaked."

The eunuch next to him rolled his eyes and said, "Don't leak it. You've given gifts to the Rain God in public."

Emperor Jichang was worried about his health, so even though he was a little unhappy, he didn't get angry and just said:

"According to your opinion, what should I do?"

Gu Xi showed an embarrassment and said:

"I do know that there is a Supreme Lord in heaven. The elixir he refines can cure all diseases and prolong one's life, but the price of his elixir is extremely high—"

Emperor Jichang interrupted, "Does this Supreme Lord also like gold and silver? Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Come on, bring me one thousand taels of gold!"

The dog emperor is quite rich.

How could Gu Xi miss such a good opportunity to make money?

"The minister obeys the order!"

When ten eunuchs came over with ten large trays of gold ingots, Gu Xi asked them to stack the trays together.

After the eunuchs left, Gu Xi began to chant again. This time, he was not chanting the lyrics of Rain God, but:

"The sun rises in the east. Please grant me the magic medicine and protect my health. The Supreme Lord Laozi obeys my command."

Then her hand lightly touched the tray.

Ten boxes of gold ingots disappeared immediately.

There were a few more bottles of medicine in Gu Xi's hands.

Blood pressure lowering, lipid lowering, blood sugar lowering.

Emperor Jichang was so excited that he didn't even wait for the eunuchs around him to take action. He ran out from behind the imperial desk and took the three bottles of medicine from Gu Xi.

"Is this the elixir made by the gods?"

Emperor Jichang had never seen plastic bottle packaging before.

Gu Xi nodded and said:

"Taishang Laojun said that one thousand taels of gold is only enough to buy one course of treatment. Your Majesty, try it first. If it works, it won't be too late to buy another course of treatment."

Emperor Jichang nodded.

Gu Xi repeated the method of taking the medicine according to the instructions, and the eunuch quickly took note of it.

After Gu Xi left the palace, the chief eunuch looked at the three bottles of medicine and said:

"Master Qi is truly miraculous. Your Majesty, do you want to take the elixir now?"

Emperor Jichang calmed down, but his suspicious nature came back again, and he said:

"It's better to wait until tomorrow after praying for rain before taking it."

What if the monsters can also take things out of thin air?

But the monsters can never ask the gods in heaven to send rain!
