Chapter 56 Next step(1/2)
Shen Wangchi understood Shen Xinyue's plan, and seeing his friend's true face clearly, he just wanted to cooperate with Shen Xinyue and put Li Shuzheng in jail!
The next day, Shen Wangchi rushed from outside the city to the capital at the time mentioned in the letter.
The people arranged by Shen Xinyue are ready and ready to go.
Shen Wangchi sat on the carriage, opening the curtains from time to time and looking outside.
Soon, we came to a familiar place again.
The place where Shen Wangchi was robbed for the first time.
Li Shu was not far away. He looked over and saw Shen Wangchi's carriage.
Just as he was about to go forward to greet him, he saw a group of robbers suddenly rushing out of the forest and surrounding Shen Wangchi's carriage. Soon, Shen Wangchi was taken away!
Li Shu was full of doubts, "Didn't I tell them yesterday not to take action? The government officials are watching, but they still dare to take action? What a group of people who are not afraid of death!"
Although Li Shu was confused, seeing the large number of robbers this time, he felt that they should be able to succeed, so he followed them.
When the robbers saw Li Shu, they were not wary and let him come over directly.
"Mr. Li, we have kidnapped the person for you according to your instructions. Is it time to give us the money?"
The robbers all had their faces covered, so Li Shu didn't recognize them at all. They were not the robbers he contacted.
The robbers sneered in their hearts, secretly thinking that Li Shu was a brainless idiot.
"I thought you were all idiots for actually daring to go out and kidnap people despite the pressure from the government. I didn't expect you to actually do it."
"Don't worry, I won't lose a penny of the money I should give you."
"As for him... I'm going to do it myself! Just patrol the area and don't let anyone get close. This is a matter between me and him, and I don't need you to continue to interfere."
Li Shu sneered.
After the robbers dispersed, Li Shu approached Shen Wangchi with a grin.
"Li Shu, I treated you like a brother in vain, but you actually bribed the robbers to harm me!"
Shen Wangchi followed the original plan and loudly questioned Li Shu.
"Why are you doing this? Li Shu, you and I grew up together, went to school together, and obtained academic honors together! Why..."
The pain in Shen Wangchi's eyes didn't seem to be fake.
Did he really want to ask Li Shu why he betrayed him and wanted to harm him?
"Ha," Li Shu sneered, "Shen Wangchi, you are so disgusting, and you ask me why? Of course it's because you are disgusting enough!"
"You know, ever since I was a child, you have always been the one who has always dominated me! In Master's eyes, only you, Shen Wangchi, is his favorite disciple! And what about me? I, Li Shu, don't even have a name! In Master's eyes, I'm just you. Shen Wangchi’s follower!"
"Yes, my family background is not as good as yours, so I can only work hard to gain fame and strive for an official career to give me a better life!"
"But what about you? You can easily get what I can't get! Even for my small official position, you have to pass the exam or not, and it's my turn to get it if you don't want it!"
"What happens after this? I have no one to rely on. I can't even protect my official position!"
Li Shu accused Shen Wangchi in every sentence.
Shen Wangchi was a little dazed. Only now did he realize that his friend was so strange!
Everything that happened to Li Shu today was all his own fault.
He was not motivated in his studies. If Shen Wangchi hadn't been supervising him when he was studying, he wouldn't even have been able to come to the capital, let alone pass the imperial examination.
Li Shu himself is not motivated and does not know how to behave. If he offends those high officials, it is inevitable that he will be demoted.
Shen Wangchi was disappointed: "Li Shu, I used to treat you sincerely, but your behavior is really disappointing."
"Shen Wangchi, I'm afraid you still don't know, my wife, she loves you in her heart! But I forced her, so she has no shame to come to see you, so she can only marry me!"
Li Shu burst out laughing, looking extremely crazy.
When Shen Wangchi heard about Li Shu's wife, he thought of her.
She is the Master's daughter, a gentle, considerate and kind-hearted person. On weekdays, when the Master teaches them how to read, she will also listen in the background.
Her handwriting is so good that even Shen Wangchi is ashamed.
When she was a child, she often followed Shen Wangchi and whispered "Brother Shen."
But later Shen Chusheng spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and Shen Wangchi never saw her again.
Later, she and Li Shu got married.
"Li Shu, you beast!" Shen Wangchi's eyes were about to split.
He has always regarded her as his sister. In his heart, she is the same sister as Shen Xinyue!
"I forgot to tell you that she passed away just a few days ago. She became ill and depressed all day long. One day, she wanted to kill me, but I strangled her to death. Hahahaha!"
"Li Shu, you are simply a lunatic!" Shen Wangchi really wanted to rush over, push Li Shu to the ground, and beat him hard!
But Shen Wangchi's leg was broken, so he couldn't do it!
Tears flowed from the corners of Shen Wangchi's eyes and dripped on the ground.
In the darkness, Shen Xinyue listened to their conversation and felt very distressed.
"Shen Wangchi, today, I will let you and her meet under the Nine Springs, and your death will be the same!"
Just when Li Shu stretched out his hand and wanted to pinch Shen Wangchi's neck, Shen Xinyue and others appeared, and Qingyun stepped forward and held Li Shu down.
He also heard the conversation between the two and was very disdainful of Li Shu's behavior!
Li Shu was still struggling, but Qingyun showed no mercy and directly knocked out three of Li Shu's teeth. Li Shu spat out a large mouthful of blood, dyeing the soil in front of him red.
"Everyone will get the stolen goods, Li Shu, let's capture him without mercy." Shen Xinyue gritted her teeth.
She was unfair to her brother, and she was unfair to the woman who was killed by Li Shu.
If it weren't for Li Shu, she should have had a happy life!
"Who gets all the stolen goods? It's you who suddenly rushed out and beat me. I will report it to the official and send you all to the Yamen!"
Li Shu's eyes rolled rapidly, taking advantage of the fact that the people here made the first move and struck preemptively.
Shen Xinyue imitated Li Shu and sneered: "Report to the official? Look, will anyone pay attention to you?"
"You killed your wife and also wanted to kill my brother. Li Shu, tell me, how do you want to die?"
"I didn't kill my wife. Who did you hear this rumor from?" Li Shu pretended to be stupid and was stunned.
A secret guard dressed as a robber came up behind Shen Xinyue, raised his hands and saluted: "Princess, everything has been investigated, and the evidence has been sent to the Yamen. He can be sent to execution at any time!"
"Let the other side prepare, we will take people there right away."
After Shen Xinyue finished her instructions, she looked at Li Shu.
"Her body is in the cellar of your house. I also have the letter you used to bribe the robbers and communicate with them."
Li Shu was dumbfounded. He had indeed put the things in the cellar, and no one knew about it except him.
Now he was convinced that these people had searched his home and had evidence!
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Li Shu began to change his strategy.
"Huh, since you all know, I'll tell you straight away."
"Yes, my purpose from the beginning was to kill Shen Wangchi!"
"I hate him! I have been planning this day for a long time! I wish he would die in front of me now! Then no one will sit on my head again and overwhelm me forever!"
"No, Li Shu, you can't make such a thorough plan." Shen Xinyue interrupted Li Shu directly.
Not to mention whether Li Shu had the brains to calculate such a thorough plan, Li Shu couldn't afford the money just for contacting the robbers.
What's more, when they eavesdropped on the conversation between Li Shu and the robber leader, they already knew clearly that there was someone behind the scenes who was manipulating this matter.
They have already chosen this person.
"Tell me, Li Shu, who is the person behind you?"
Li Shu is still stubborn: "Who is behind what? There is no one behind me."
Someone!"
"Are you sure?" Shen Xinyue asked.
Li Shu didn't know if they had found the transaction letter between him and that person.
But he can't tell the person, otherwise he will die miserably.
Shen Xinyue and Li Shu went back and forth for several rounds, but Li Shu never let Li Shu tell the man.
I had no choice but to give up.
"It's okay if you don't tell me. I have a way to find that man out. Qingyun, take him to the Yamen. Brother, let's go back to the house."
Shen Xinyue arranged things and returned to the Regent's Palace under the escort of secret guards.
In the mansion, Shen Xinyue told Huo Weilou the outcome of the matter.
Huo Weilou chuckled: "This matter... has really become interesting. I think Yue'er has a plan for the next step?"
