Chapter 395: Thousand Fingers
encountered such a bad thing, Li Shouxin was no longer in the mood to participate in the banquet. After greeting the host of the banquet, he hurriedly returned to the property that Han Bing had purchased for himself and began to think about how to deal with it the next day.
Just a short time after Li Shouxin said goodbye and left, the news that the champion of Xinkenan turned out to be a negative man spread. Fueled by the deliberate efforts of well-intentioned people, this news spread to every corner of the capital at an incredible speed. It only took a few hours, and even children of a few years old knew about Li Shouxin's ungrateful actions.
After returning to the mansion, Li Shouxin began to wonder whether to ask for help from his future father-in-law. He is now alone, and if he relies on his own connections, he will definitely not be able to easily handle this matter.
Without a doubt, turning to the future father-in-law is undoubtedly the best option at the moment. The problem is that this matter is too sensitive, and he is afraid that when he asks his future father-in-law, one careless will cause a misunderstanding. I heard that Han Bingqing was arrogant by nature, and the most intolerable thing was that her future husband had an affair.
If this news reaches Han Bingqing's ears, it will be bad. He finally won the heart of the beauty, and he never wanted to incur the disgust of the beauty because of such a trumped-up charge, and even affect the future marriage.
Just when Li Shouxin was very entangled, the housekeeper of the Han Mansion had already brought someone to the door. After doing it for a long time, as early as the first time the news spread, Han Fu received the news. As a thousand-year-old fox, Han Bing immediately realized that this was a bureau aimed at Li Shouxin, the future son-in-law, and immediately sent his housekeeper to call the person concerned.
Seeing the housekeeper of the Han Mansion who came to the door, Li Shouxin knew that this matter could no longer be hidden. He didn't hesitate. followed the housekeeper of the Han Mansion directly and went straight to the Han Mansion.
After arriving at the Han Mansion, Li Shouxin was immediately taken to see Han Bing, the prime minister of the current dynasty, with a gloomy face. The first time he saw Han Bing, he knelt down directly and pleaded guilty, claiming that he shouldn't cause trouble to his father-in-law. After apologizing, he immediately swore to the sky, promising that he would never do anything to be sorry for Han Bingqing, and today's rumors were all framed.
Regarding Li Shouxin's attitude, Han Bing nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, Li Shouxin is a person with great ambitions, and it is impossible for him to have anything to do with a Qinglou geisha.
He coughed lightly. Only then did Han Bing pretend to be cold and asked, "For today's matter." Do you have any ideas? Although the woman's accusation is a trumped-up charge, it is related to you after all, so the old man has this question. If you already have a plan in mind and your idea is feasible. The old man can send someone to do as you please. ”
Listen to what he said. Li Shouxin's face immediately showed surprise. He thought he was going to be reprimanded. Unexpectedly, he got a chance to show his strategy, which is enough to show that Han Bing is not disappointed in him.
After thinking carefully for a while, Li Shouxin replied confidently: "Return to my father-in-law." The son-in-law has a plan in his heart, and he may be able to solve the current crisis once and for all. It's a pity that the realization of this strategy requires a martial arts master, I wonder if there is such a talent under my father-in-law? ”
Glancing at him with interest, Han Bing said, "Don't worry, the most important thing here is talent." Don't say that you are a martial arts master, even if you are a martial arts master, you can find it. ”
Seeing him speak, Li Shou had confidence in his confidence, and then he said confidently: "Father-in-law, that woman has a letter in her hand that imitates her son-in-law's notes, and I believe there will definitely be other objects." If you want to completely eradicate the hidden danger, you must destroy all the evidence. Those who can do all this must be martial arts masters. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Han Bing praised with an appreciative expression: "The good idea of the virtuous son-in-law is worthy of the husband selected by my family." With your idea, I'll leave the rest to me, the father-in-law. ”
Hearing the change in Han Bing's words, Li Shouxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Han Bing is now willing to call him a virtuous son-in-law, it means that this matter has not affected his image in Han Bing's mind. With this opportunity to show his strategy, maybe he also got extra points in Han Bing's heart.
No matter what, as long as Han Bing doesn't get tired of him, this is the best result now. Now that he has just won the top prize, it is the time to be full of ambition, and he must not lose the support from the Yue family.
After agreeing on the next plan of action, Li Shouxin took his leave. He believed in Han Bing's methods, and good news would come the next day. Having lost the carefully prepared evidence, he wanted to see how the gorgeous woman would finally justify herself. can't justify herself, and the crime of slandering the court officials is ironclad and can't get rid of it this time.
Before dawn on the second day, Li Shouxin received information from the Han family. It's a pity that the truth is diametrically opposite to what he expected, and the information sent can only be regarded as bad news.
Last night, the martial arts master sent by Han Bing arrived at the inn rented by the gorgeous woman on time. They had already inquired clearly, and the gorgeous woman had been renting a separate courtyard in the inn during this time. In this way, the actions of martial arts masters are more and more convenient, and they will hardly alarm others.
Unexpectedly, the martial arts master had just sneaked into the small courtyard rented by the gorgeous woman, and he was plotted. Until he fell unconscious, he didn't know what kind of trap he had fallen into.
When the martial arts master came to his senses, he suddenly found himself in a sea of fire. He wanted to cry out for help, but unfortunately his mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth and he couldn't spit out a word. In the torment of despair, he watched as the flames ignited his night clothes, completely devouring his body little by little.
Due to the oil poured on it, the flame burned very quickly. When the people around them just noticed it, and before they could rush to help, the entire courtyard had turned into ruins, and even a complete corpse could not be found.
As soon as the fire was discovered, the store immediately organized people to put out the fire. Unfortunately, by the time they rushed to the scene of the fire, the yard was in ruins. Now, there is no need to put out the fire, and now there is only the task of searching for the remains of the victims, and they have not forgotten that there is still a beautiful woman living in this courtyard.
After a careful search, everyone finally found only some ashes from the ruins. It can be burned so cleanly, only by pouring a lot of oil can it be done, and the idea of murder is invariably in their hearts.
Regarding the grievances between the gorgeous woman and Li Shouxin, everyone has heard about it during the day. Especially after knowing that the gorgeous woman lived in this inn, they paid more and more attention to this matter. Yesterday, when the gorgeous woman came back, they also watched, and a few people even took the initiative to comfort them.
Seeing that the people who had talked to each other before turned into a pile of ashes overnight, everyone felt uncomfortable. After they sighed, they went back to their respective rooms one after another, leaving only the innkeeper and the shopkeeper with a bitter face.
Early the next morning, the news that the gorgeous woman was burned alive caused a sensation throughout the capital. The people almost couldn't believe this news, how could a beauty who was still alive yesterday die overnight? Yesterday, after hearing about the grievances between the gorgeous woman and Li Shouxin, they originally planned to continue watching the excitement today, but now they all came to naught.
After the initial shock, everyone immediately pointed their suspicions at Li Shouxin. In their minds, there was no one else who had the motive to kill but him.
In the face of a crusade from mainstream public opinion, even though Li Shouxin can speak well, this time he can't bear it. Wherever he went, he would face the fingers of onlookers. Since he won the champion, although the matter he asked has fallen into a storm of public opinion, it is the first time he has encountered this kind of situation pointed out by Qianfu, and he can only choose to close his door for a while.
Although Li Shouxin chose to keep his door closed, he couldn't stop the overwhelming condemnation. On the day of the fire, Liu Yushi wrote an impeachment letter as quickly as possible, directly denouncing Li Shouxin for his heinous crimes.
Someone took the lead in folding the bullet impeachment, and other imperial histories immediately followed suit. According to the information they inquired, they folded their bullets one after another to impeach the champion of the new conan, and called on the emperor to revoke his status as the champion. As soon as the impeachment excerpt came out, the public opinion field in Beijing once again caused a sensation. There were many opinions on the impeachment case, but basically they all expressed their support.
In the face of the joint impeachment of his subordinates, the emperor finally made a ruling. He directly ordered the revocation of Li Shouxin's status as the champion of Xinkenan and the cancellation of his results in the imperial examination.
The results of the imperial examination were canceled, and Li Shouxin suddenly lost his hard-won fame and became a white man again. Now that he has become an ordinary person, Han Bingqing naturally will not continue to be involved with him. The housekeeper of the Han Mansion came forward and took the initiative to withdraw from his relatives on the grounds that Li Shouxin was guilty of virtue.
Faced with the Han government's request to withdraw from his family, Li Shouxin was unwilling to agree. He has now lost his hard-won fame, and if he loses the opportunity to marry Han Bingqing again, there will be no hope of turning over in the future.
Regarding Li Shouxin's reaction, Han Bing had already expected it. As a female lover, he naturally would not watch his favorite daughter forced to marry a poor boy with no future. In order to settle Li Shouxin, he did not hesitate to give a heavy inducement, hoping to force Li Shouxin to take the initiative to give up this marriage.
It's a pity that Li Shouxin is not a shallow eyelid, so he won't lose a big one because of a small one. He knows better than anyone that as long as he holds on to Han Bingqing in his hands, fame and fortune will be indispensable in the end.
If he agrees to the conditions of divorce, he will forever lose the opportunity to become an official in the court, and his fame and fortune will be gone. (To be continued......)
