Chapter 879 Conspiracy

"Or and nose?" Wu County Wei was stunned when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then looked at him in confusion. After all, he always checked the body to see if there were any wounds on the body. As for mouth and nose, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Seeing the expression of Wu County Magistrate Wu, Li Xiu knew that the other party must have not investigated. He immediately ordered: "Please check the mouth and nose of the body again to see if there are ashes inside?"

Although Wu County Wei was puzzled when he heard Li Xiu's order, he still did as Li Xiu said. He reached out and opened the mouth of the scorched corpse on the ground, not even wearing gloves. When the mouth of the corpse was opened, Li Xiu also asked someone to bring the lantern over and then carefully looked at it. It turned out that although the outside of the corpse was burnt, the inside of the mouth was very clean and there was no dust at all.

"It's true!" Li Xiu's eyes suddenly became sharp when he saw this.

"Mr. Concubine, you are..." County Magistrate Zhang also came over at this time, but he couldn't understand the abnormality on the body. Instead, he felt that Li Xiu's behavior was a bit strange.

"Hehe, County Magistrate Zhang, please think about it. If a person falls into the fire, he will definitely scream in pain. Naturally, some black and gray will inevitably be inhaled into his mouth and nose. But now the mouth of the corpse is very clean. What do you think is the reason?" Li Xiu sneered immediately.

"I understand that the body was burned after death!" Wu County Wei was indeed experienced and immediately understood what Li Xiu meant.

"Yes, this monk Huiming resented me very much. He had come to me to make trouble before, but a few days later, he died in front of my house. What a great method!" Li Xiu sneered again. He was already sure that there must be an ulterior motive behind this matter, and Huiming was the lead of this conspiracy.

"Hiss~, is it..." County Magistrate Zhang also reacted at this time and couldn't help but take a cold breath. As Li Xiu's identity, someone dared to deal with him. There must be a heinous conspiracy behind this. However, when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear, because he, a small county magistrate, was also involved in this conspiracy. Maybe Li Xiu would not be so, but if he was not careful, he might be in danger of his family being destroyed.

"Mr. Zhang County Magistrate Wu County Magistrate, I don't want any outsiders to know the cause of the death of this corpse except for us present, otherwise you should know the consequences!" After knowing that someone was going to deal with him, Li Xiu's aura became sharp and his tone became very strong.

I don’t know if it was my own illusion. Both the magistrate Zhang and the magistrate Wu felt that Li Xiu was having a bit of murderous aura in his words. This scared them so much that they trembled all over. He immediately assured Li Xiu: "Here! Xiaguan knows the right way and will never spread this matter!"

However, when he said this, County Magistrate Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "The prince consort intends to block this news. Are he going to play a long line to catch big fish? Do you need the cooperation of the subordinates in other places?"

County Magistrate Zhang is a student of Fu Yi, and Fu Yi and Li Xiu also have some friendship. What's more, they are also on the same front when they attacked Buddhism. So after calming down, County Magistrate Zhang quickly made a decision to stand on Li Xiu's side no matter what. Maybe with this matter, he will have a chance to go further.

"No need for the time being. You can deal with this case first according to Huiming's self-immolation, so that those behind it will jump out on their own initiative. I want to see who has the courage to plot against me!" Li Xiu thought for a while and said immediately. At the end of the story, he couldn't help but sneer on his face. This was the first time that he had been used to calculate in this way in so many years.

"Yes! The officials will do it now, and there will be no mistakes!" County Magistrate Zhang immediately patted his chest and promised that the Wu County Magistrate is a mature person. Although he is not as clear as County Magistrate Zhang saw it, he also knew that this matter might involve a huge conspiracy. A small person like him can only rely on a big tree like Li Xiu, so that he could not be implicated in the end. Therefore, he immediately promised that he would never reveal any news.

There were not many people at the scene, and when checking the body, except for Li Xiu, Zhang County Magistrate and Wu County Magistrate, there were only Xu Duwei and a few guards. Xu Duwei and others would definitely not disclose any information. Li Xiu was also very relieved about this and immediately returned home.

At this time, the sun in the east had already revealed half of its face, and the people at home got up and washed up. Although Li Xiu was angry, it did not show it on the surface. Instead, he still had dinner with his family as usual, and then drove to the financial management supervisor. However, after knowing that someone was going to deal with him, Li Xiu had to be careful. For example, he secretly added his guards, and the guards in the mansion also mentioned the highest level.

There are millions of people in Chang'an City, and people die almost every day. Some die naturally, and some die from murder. Generally, no one will care about the deceased except for the relatives and friends of the deceased. Huiming is a monk and has no family. He was the only one who received the certificate of the Faxing Temple where he lived before, so Faxing Temple was also scattered. Therefore, according to common sense, no one will care about the death of the Monk Huiming.

However, the day after Li Xiu discovered 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 court's attack on Buddhism, so he went to find the initiator of the attack on Buddhism, that is, Li Xiu, who defended him, hoping to persuade Li Xiu to change his prejudice against Buddhism. However, Li Xiu did not expect that Li Xiu would not listen, but instead threw Monk Huiming to the north of the city. However, Monk Huiming did not give up. Later, he looked for Li Xiu several times, but did not expect Li Xiu to avoid it. Last night, Monk Huiming made a self-immolation in front of Li Xiu's house with his death, hoping to move Li Xiu with such fearless performance!

The above is the first version circulating, but as the news spread, many variants appeared, and some people added fire to the fire to add many details. For example, the rebuttal of the monk Huiming and Li Xiu for three days and three nights, Li Xiu was speechless, so Li Xiu was so embarrassed that he threw Huiming out. Some people even said that Huiming was possessed by the Buddha, and he wanted to wake up Li Xiu with great wisdom, etc.

There are more and more rumors about the death of Monk Huiming, and the situation is getting worse and worse, and it will soon spread the whole city. However, no matter which rumor is, it is very unfavorable to Li Xiu. Even those with wise eyes can see that these rumors are simply raising Li Xiu on a fire to roast it.
