Chapter 879: Conspiracy

"Mouth and nose?" County Lieutenant Wu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then looked at him puzzled, after all, he always checked the corpse only to see if there were wounds on the corpse, and he didn't pay too much attention to the mouth and nose.

Seeing County Lieutenant Wu's expression, Li Xiu knew that the other party must not have checked, and immediately he ordered: "Please County Lieutenant Wu, check the mouth and nose of the corpse again to see if there are ashes inside?" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's instructions, although the county lieutenant Wu was puzzled, he still did according to Li Xiu's words, and at the moment I saw him reach out and break the mouth of the charred corpse on the ground, and he didn't even wear gloves, and when the corpse's mouth was opened, Li Xiu also asked people to bring the lantern over, and then watched carefully, and found that although the outside of the corpse was burned, the inside of the mouth was very clean, and there was not even a little dust.

"Sure enough!" When Li Xiu saw this, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Don Ma, ...... are you" Zhang Xianling also came over at this time, but he couldn't understand the abnormality on the corpse, but felt that Li Xiu's behavior was a little strange.

"Hehe, Zhang Xianling, please think about it, if a person falls into the fire alive, he will definitely scream loudly in pain, and it is inevitable to inhale some black ash in his mouth and nose, but now the corpse's mouth is very clean, what do you think is the reason for this?" Li Xiu immediately sneered.

"I see, corpses are burned after death!" County Lieutenant Wu was worthy of being experienced, and immediately understood what Li Xiu meant, and said loudly.

"Yes, this Huiming monk resents me very much, he once came to me to make trouble before, but a few days later, he died in front of my house, what a good means!" Li Xiu immediately sneered again and said, he was already sure that there must be an ulterior conspiracy hidden behind this matter, and this Hui Ming was the lead of this conspiracy.

"Hiss~, is it ......" Zhang Xianling also reacted at this time, and immediately couldn't help but gasp in fright, with Li Xiu's identity, someone dared to deal with him, there must be a monstrous conspiracy behind this, but thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of fear, because his little county commander was unknowingly involved in this conspiracy, maybe Li Xiu would not be affected, but if he was not careful, maybe there would be a danger of ruining his family.

"Zhang County Order, Wu County Lieutenant, the cause of death of this corpse is except for a few of us present, I don't want any outsiders to know, otherwise you should know the consequences!" Knowing that someone was going to deal with him, Li Xiu's momentum also became fierce, and the tone of his speech became very strong.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, Zhang Xianling and Wu Xianwei both felt that Li Xiu's words were a little murderous, which made their whole bodies tremble with fright, and immediately assured Li Xiu: "Oh! Xia Guan knows the proportions, and he will definitely not spread this matter! ”

However, when he said this, he saw Zhang Xianling hesitate for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The horse plans to block this news, is it going to put a long line to catch a big fish, do you need the cooperation of the lower officials in other places?" ”

Zhang Xianling is a student of Fu Yi, and Fu Yi and Li Xiu also have some friendship, not to mention that they are also on the same front in this attack on Buddhism, so after Zhang Xianling calmed down, he also quickly made a decision, no matter what, he must stand on Li Xiu's side, maybe with this matter, he has the possibility of going further.

"There's no need for the time being, you can deal with this case according to Hui Ming's self-immolation first, and let those people behind it take the initiative to jump out, I want to see who has the courage to calculate me!" Li Xiu thought about it and said immediately, and when he said the end, he couldn't help but show a little sneer on his face, it was the first time in so many years that he had been calculated by someone in this way.

"Yes! The next official will do it, and there will be absolutely no mistakes! Zhang Xianling immediately patted his chest and assured that the county lieutenant of Wu was old and refined, although he did not see it as clearly as Zhang Xianling, but he also knew that this matter might involve a big conspiracy, and a small person like himself could only be attached to a big tree like Li Xiu, and in the end it was possible not to be implicated, so he immediately promised that he would never leak any news.

There were not many people at the scene, and when inspecting the corpses, in addition to Li Xiu, Zhang Xianling, and Wu County, there were only Xu Duwei and a few guards, and Xu Duwei and they would definitely not leak any news, Li Xiu was also very relieved about this, and immediately strode back home.

At this time, the sun in the east had already revealed half of its face, and the people in the family also got up to wash, although Li Xiu was annoyed in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface, but still accompanied his family to eat as usual, and then got into the carriage and rushed to the financial superintendent, but after knowing that someone was going to deal with him, Li Xiu also had to be careful, for example, he secretly increased his guards, and the guards in the mansion also mentioned the highest.

There are millions of people in Chang'an City, almost every day someone dies, some die of natural causes, some die of homicide, generally except for the relatives and friends of the deceased, no one will care at all, and Huiming is a monk, and there is no family, he used to live in the Faxing Temple only he alone got the degree, so the Faxing Temple is also scattered, so according to common sense, the death of Huiming monk will not be cared about at all.

However, the day after Li Xiu found the body of Monk Huiming, a news suddenly spread in Chang'an City, according to this news, a monk named Huiming was dissatisfied with the imperial court's attack on Buddhism, so he went to find the initiator of the attack on Buddhism, that is, Li Xiu defended, hoping to persuade Li Xiu to change his prejudice against Buddhism, but he didn't expect Li Xiu to not only listen, but instead threw Monk Huiming to the north of the city, but Monk Huiming did not give up, and then looked for Li Xiu several times, but he didn't expect Li Xiu to avoid it, and last night, Monk Huiming set himself on fire in front of Li Xiu's house with his will to die, hoping to move Li Xiu with this fearless performance!

The above is the first version that has been circulated, but with the spread of the news, there have been many variants, and some people have added many details, such as the monk Huiming and Li Xiu for three days and three nights, and the refuted Li Xiu was speechless, so Li Xiu threw Huiming out in shame and anger, and some people said that Huiming was possessed by the Buddha, and he woke up Li Xiu with great wisdom and so on.

There are more and more rumors about the death of Monk Huiming, and the situation is getting worse, and it will soon spread throughout the city, but no matter what kind of rumors, they are very unfavorable to Li Xiu, and even anyone with eyes can see that these rumors are simply roasting Li Xiu on the fire.
