Chapter 56: The Next Step
Shen Wangchi understood Shen Xinyue's plan, and saw the true face of his friend, he just wanted to cooperate with Shen Xinyue and let Li Shudang go to prison!
The next day, Shen Wangchi rushed from outside the city to the capital according to the time mentioned in the letter.
The people arranged by Shen Xinyue are ready and ready to go.
Shen Wangchi sat in the carriage, opened the curtains from time to time, and looked outside.
Soon, I came to a familiar place again.
The location of Shen Wangchi's first robbery.
Li Shu was not far away, he looked out and saw Shen Wangchi's carriage.
was about to step forward to greet him, but he saw a group of robbers suddenly rushing out of the woods, surrounding Shen Wangchi's carriage, and soon, Shen Wangchi was taken away!
Li Shu was full of doubts, "Didn't I tell them yesterday not to do it? The people in the government are staring, and they dare to do it? What a bunch of people who aren't afraid of death!"
Although he was puzzled, Li Shu saw that there were many robbers this time, and felt that it should be possible, so he followed.
When the robbers saw Li Shu, they were unwary and let him come over.
"Master Li, we have already tied people up for you according to your orders, and the money should be given to us, right?"
The robbers were all masked, so that Li Shu didn't recognize them at all, this group of people was not the gang of robbers he contacted.
This group of robbers sneered in their hearts, and secretly said that Li Shu was a brainless fool.
"I thought you were all stupid, and you dared to come out and kidnap people under the pressure of the government, but I didn't expect you to do it."
"Don't worry, I won't lose a cent of the money I should give you."
"As for him...... I'm going to do it myself! You patrol the neighborhood and don't let people get close. This is my business with him, and I don't need you to continue to get involved."
Li Shu sneered.
When the robbers scattered, Li Shu approached Shen Wangchi's side with a cruel smile.
"Li Shu, treat you like a brother in vain, you actually bribed robbers to harm me!"
According to the original plan, Shen Wangchi questioned Li Shu loudly.
"Why are you doing this? Li Shu, you and I grew up together, went to school together, and gained fame together! Why ......?"
The distress in Shen Wangchi's eyes didn't seem to be fake.
He really wanted to ask Li Shu, why did he betray him and harm him?
"Heh," Li Shu sneered, "Shen Wangchi, you're really disgusting, and you still ask me why?" Because you're annoying enough, of course!"
"You know, since I was a child, you've always pressed me! In the eyes of the master, only you, Shen Wangchi, are his protégé! And me? I Li Shu doesn't even have a name! In the Master's eyes, I am just your Shen Wangchi's follower!"
"Yes, my family background is not as good as yours, I can only work hard to gain fame and fame, and fight for a career to give me a better life!"
"But what about you? You can easily get what I can't get! Even my little official position, you have to be admitted or not, you don't want it, so I can get my turn!"
"And after that? I'm helpless, I can't even keep this sesame official!"
Li Shu was accusing Shen Wangchi every sentence.
Shen Wangchi was a little sluggish, he only now realized that his friend was so strange!
Everything Li Shu has done today is all his own fault.
He is not motivated to study, if it weren't for Shen Wangchi supervising him when he was studying, let alone being admitted to this little sesame official, he wouldn't even be able to come to the capital.
Li Shu himself is not motivated, he can't be a man, he offended those big officials, and it is inevitable that he will be demoted.
Shen Wangchi was disappointed: "Li Shu, I used to treat you sincerely, but your trip is really disappointing."
"Shen Wangchi, I'm afraid you don't know yet, my wife, she loves you in her heart! But I forced her, so she has no face to come to see you, so she can only marry me!"
Li Shu laughed, and the whole person looked extremely crazy.
When Shen Wangchi heard Li Shu's wife, he thought of her.
She is the daughter of the Master, a gentle, considerate and kind person, and on weekdays, when the Master is teaching them to read, she will also listen to them in the back.
She writes a good handwriting, and even Shen Wangchi is ashamed of himself.
When she was a child, she often followed behind Shen Wangchi and whispered "Brother Shen".
It's just that Shen Chusheng spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and Shen Wangchi never saw her again.
Later, it was she and Li Shu who got married.
"Li Shu, you brute!" Shen Wangchi's eyes were about to split.
He has always regarded her as a sister, and in his heart, she is the same sister as Shen Xinyue!
"I forgot to tell you that just the other day, she passed away, and she was depressed all day, and one day, she wanted to kill me, but I, ah, strangled her to death. Hahahaha!"
"Li Shu, you're simply crazy!" Shen Wangchi really wanted to rush over, press Li Shu to the ground, and beat him hard!
But Shen Wangchi's leg was broken, he couldn't do it!
Tears flowed from the corners of Shen Wangchi's eyes and dripped on the ground.
In the dark, Shen Xinyue listened to their conversation, and her heart was also very distressed.
"Shen Wangchi, today, I will let you meet her 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 directly 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, Qingyun showed no mercy, and directly knocked out Li Shu's three teeth. Li Shu spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the dirt in front of him.
"Everyone has stolen goods, Li Shu, just grab them." Shen Xinyue gritted her teeth.
She was unfair for her brother, and she was unfair for the woman who was killed by Li Shu.
If it weren't for Li Shu, she would have had a happy life!
"Who got the stolen goods? But you, suddenly rushed out and beat me, I want to report to the officials and send you all to the yamen!"
Li Shu's eyes rolled slightly, taking advantage of the fact that it was someone here who made the first move and struck first.
Shen Xinyue sneered at Li Shu's example: "Report to the official? Look, will anyone take care of you?"
"You killed your wife, and you still want to kill my brother, Li Shu, you say, how do you want to die?"
"I didn't kill my wife, who are you listening to?" Li Shu began to pretend to be stupid.
Behind Shen Xinyue, a secret guard dressed as a robber walked over, and bowed and said, "Princess, everything has been investigated, and the evidence has been sent to the yamen, and he can be sent to death at any time!"
"Let's get ready, and we'll bring someone there."
After Shen Xinyue finished speaking, she looked at Li Shu.
"Her body is in your cellar. And the letter you bought the robbers, and the letter you communicated with them is also in my possession."
Li Shu was dumbfounded, he did put the things in the cellar, and no one knew about it except him.
Now he was convinced that the group had searched his home and had the evidence!
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Li Shu began to change his strategy.
"Hmph, since you all know, I'll just say it."
"Yes, my purpose was to kill Shen Wangchi from the beginning!"
"I hate him! I've been counting this day for a long time! I wish he had died in front of me right now! So that no one will ride on my head again and crush me forever!"
"No, Li Shu, you can't make such a careful plan." Shen Xinyue directly interrupted Li Shu.
Not to mention whether Li Shu has the brains to calculate such a careful plan, Li Shu can't get the money from contacting the robbers alone.
What's more, when they eavesdropped on the conversation between Li Shu and the leader of the robbers, they already knew clearly that there was another person behind them who was manipulating this matter.
They already have a choice for this person.
"Say, Li Shu, who is the person behind you?"
Li Shu was still stiff with a dead duck's mouth: "What is the person behind it? I don't have it behind me
Someone!"
"Are you sure?" Shen Xinyue asked rhetorically.
Li Shu didn't know if they had found out about the transaction letter between themselves and that person.
But he can't tell people, or he'll die a miserable death.
Shen Xinyue and Li Shu have been back and forth for several rounds, but they have never asked Li Shu to tell that person.
I had no choice but to give up.
"It's okay if you don't say it, I have my own way of getting that person out. Qingyun, take him to the Yamen. Brother, let's go home."
Shen Xinyue arranged the matter and returned to the Regent's Mansion under the escort of the secret guards.
In the mansion, Shen Xinyue told Huo Weilou the outcome of the matter.
Huo Weilou chuckled, "This is ...... It's really getting interesting. Thinking about Yue'er, do you have a plan for the next step?"
"Huo Weilou, you still understand me very well." Shen Xinyue laughed.
Every time she had any plans, Huo Weilou could always guess a few points.
Shen Xinyue said his future plans: "I have asked Qingyun and them to spread the news of Li Shu's imprisonment to Jiangnan, and asked him to keep an eye on the Shen family, and if there is news from there, send the message back immediately."
"My people, Yue'er is quite handy." Huo Weilou shrugged helplessly.
"You've used all the people for me, don't use them in vain." Shen Xinyue was happy.
Huo Weilou didn't think Shen Xinyue's move was inappropriate.
After Shen Xinyue left, Huo Weilou also specially instructed his subordinates to pay more attention, and also told his subordinates what Shen Xinyue had not considered.
Two days later, the Shen family was far away in the south of the Yangtze River.
Both Shen Chusheng and Aunt Liu heard the news.
Aunt Liu sprinkled in the room.
"It's all a bunch of rubbish! I put such a careful plan at the top, and I still let Shen Wangchi survive!"
"Li Shu is also a waste! With my money, I can't even do such a thing!"
"Fortunately, Shen Wangchi's leg is completely useless and can't be cured, otherwise, I really want Li Shu to be in prison for the rest of his life, and he can't survive or die!"
Aunt Liu dropped several vases, and then her mood calmed down a little.
Aunt Liu's son, Shen Yuefei, was comforting her in her room at this time: "Mother, Shen Wangchi has become a waste, why are you still angry?"
"I originally wanted Shen Wangchi to die in the capital, so that their family's business in the capital would fall into the hands of our mother and son!"
"Yuefei, I'll go and tell your father tomorrow for breakfast, Shen Wangchi has become a waste, and you want to take over the business over there." Z.br>
Shen Yuefei disagreed: "Mother, what's so good about the business over there? I don't have much oil or water to fish, and the money I earn every year is not enough for me to spend a month."
"You're so stupid, will my mother hurt you?" Aunt Liu pointed at Shen Yuefei's forehead, hating that iron is not steel.
Aunt Liu had no choice but to explain to him, "Don't forget, who is Shen Xinyue's man? That's the Regent! When you go over there, and show your face in front of the regent, won't he help you?"
"But mother, business over there is not good! And how much Shen Xinyue hates our family, doesn't my mother remember? Shen Xinyue won't let the regent kill me, and it's okay." Shen Yuefei has brains, but not much.
But he knew that it was impossible for Shen Xinyue to let Huo Weilou help him take care of the business.
Aunt Liu really wants to slap her son.
"Shen Yuefei, Shen Yuefei! Shen Xinyue just hates you again, will she let the shops brought by her mother go out of business?"
