It was very easy for Shen Lang to kill Li Wenzheng. He had many ways to do so.
However, it was very, very difficult to get the Monarch to overturn his orders and get rid of Li Wenzheng.
Shen Lang had started to set up this plot almost half a month ago.
Because the Monarch was unwilling to execute Li Wenzheng, there was a high probability of that happening. Therefore, Shen Lang had to have a backup plan.
Half a month's time was considered ample, but it was also very rushed.
Could it be that all of you haven't noticed that Jin Hui has vanished since the second day of the engagement banquet, right after Chen Lang annihilated Wang Lian?
He was ordered to enter the capital to handle some matters.
He didn't go alone. He brought dozens of people with him, as well as a huge amount of gold coins.
Shen Lang had always been unconstrained when it came to harming people. It was hard to predict and impossible to guard against.
Then, how did he get the Monarch to kill Li Wenzheng?
This story had to start from last year.
At that time, Li Wenzheng had just passed the second rank of the Jinshi and was very proud of himself.
There was a famous courtesan in the capital. Her name was What????
She was very proficient in the four arts and could be ranked in the top ten of the Courtesan Ranking in the capital.
She was also very beautiful. She was especially famous for her small waist, which could make people fall head over heels for her.
The customers of this kind of courtesan were all very high class. Even rich businessmen couldn't meet her. High officials and noble scholars were her frequent customers.
She was a courtesan who only sold her skills but not her body. She was very particular about her style.
What was the best way for the talented high school students to celebrate after every course of the Court Examinations?
Of course, it was to visit a brothel.
Of course, the young talents here referred to those between 20 to 45 years old.
Some men over 45 years old were still full of energy. For example, the Benefactor who read this book would still be full of energy in the future.
However, some men, especially those who read books every day, were usually impotent and couldn't visit brothels after the age of 45.
Li Wenzheng was only 28 years old when he became a Jinshi. Of course, his Yang energy was still relatively strong, so he was eager to go to a brothel.
As soon as he saw He?????, one of the most popular courtesans, He was scared out of his wits.
Well, he was even more scared out of his wits when he saw Mulan.
Men were all big pig trotters. It was normal for them to be scared out of their wits when they saw a peerless beauty.
Wu Laoer, who lived next door, would tremble whenever he saw anyone.
At that time, there were more than ten Jinshi who came to see him.
Therefore, of course, they had to write poems. Whoever wrote the best poem would be the winner. The guest who entered the building.
Not a guest behind the curtain, not a guest in the body.
That day, Li Wenzheng had really held back too much, and his lust had erupted.
He actually managed to compose a superb poem, suppressing all the outstanding heroes in an instant and becoming the champion.
The poem said:
How tranquil is it? Pine trees grow in empty valleys.
How beautiful is it? The sunset glow shines on the clear pond.
How elegant is it? The dragon swims in the swamp.
How divine is it? The moon shines on the cold river.
It had to be said that this poem was extremely well written.
It could be seen that at that time, Li Wenzheng was indeed attracted by He???? Everyone was amazed by it, which was why this masterpiece was created.
Li Wenzheng's "Beauty Poem" was immediately received by He???? He was invited to the attic, had a drink, and played a song for him.
He was still very proud of this matter, even more proud than the Jinshi.
Because the Jinshi only defeated a group of Juren, but that night, he defeated more than ten Jinshi.
Not only that, He??????? Everyone even copied the "Beauty Poem" and hung it in her room.
Of course, that night, Li Wenzheng and He???? only drank. They only drank and didn't do anything else, let alone get intimate with each other.
What????? For the time being, everybody looks down on you, a second-ranked Jinshi. You, Li Wenzheng, don't come from a good family background. By the time you reach a high position of power and authority, people will already be old and faded.
Later, when Li Wenzheng visited him again, how was he???? The first time, she said she wasn't feeling well. The second time, she said it was inconvenient.
This made Li Wenzheng depressed for a while. It was the first time he recognized his social status.
Therefore, he swore that he would definitely stand out in the world and hold a high position.
Who is the ninth-ranked top courtesan? The story between her and Li Wenzheng had actually come to an end.
After becoming a Jinshi, the next step was becoming a Marquis.
It was hard to bear. Even if Li Wenzheng was a second-rank Jinshi, he didn't have a strong backing. He didn't have a good family background, so he wouldn't even have a chance to be a great person.
Li Wenzheng waited for a few months, but there was no good official position.
At this time, he had to think of a way to raise his reputation.
Therefore, he decided to publish a book called "Li Wenzheng's Poetry Anthology".
However, Li Wenzheng's poetry anthology couldn't be compared to Shen Lang's "Boundless Romance of the Golden X Plum Blossoms". There was a huge difference in the sales.
He spent a lot of money to publish this book, but of course, it was a flop.
Who would buy a poetry anthology to read? These poems should be read from the mouths of those girls.
What's the point of reading words?
Since he couldn't sell it, Li Wenzheng found a way to give this book away.
When people accepted this book, they praised it a million times and said that they would definitely read it. Moreover, they would burn incense and take a bath before reading it.
But after they turned around, they put this book on the shelf and shelved it.
It wasn't like Shen Lang's "Boundless Romance of the Golden X Plum Blossoms". People read it happily and couldn't get enough of it even after reading it three to five times.
Therefore, he didn't succeed in raising his reputation with this poetry anthology.
After that, he sold himself to a big shot and finally became a Silver Robed Inspector. Let's not talk about this anymore.
These were almost all the important information about Li Wenzheng in the capital.
Most people wouldn't be able to find any loopholes in this information, let alone kill him.
But Shen Lang immediately found a loophole.
Li Wenzheng wrote a poem to He???? The Monarch liked beauties and poems.
Then, a conspiracy was born!
Even though the success rate of this conspiracy was only about 50 to 60 percent, he immediately put it into action.
The first step, Shen Lang got someone to sell a poem to He???? A super awesome poem, Su Shi's "Shuidiao Ge Tou, When the Bright Moon Appears".
Of course, I won't copy this poem here.
Because it has been copied by too many authors, including me. If I copy it again, I'm afraid you'll vomit.
This poem was worthy of being called a masterpiece. It was simply too amazing and awesome.
He???? After singing this poem, he instantly stood out in the Courtesan Competition and soared from the ninth place to the first place.
And the top three courtesans would be able to enter the palace to perform for the Queen Mother's birthday.
The second step, Shen Lang designed a super sexy and gorgeous dress and asked someone to give it to He????????? He wore it when he performed in the palace.
On the night of the Queen Mother's birthday, He???? The performance was extremely successful.
She sang another song. It was still the same song that Shen Lang had gotten someone to sell to her. It was also a super awesome song that would last through the ages.
Her poem amazed the audience again.
Her dress, especially her small waist, amazed everyone, including the Monarch.
The third step, Shen Lang got someone to bribe the painter. So that night, in the painting of the Queen Mother's birthday, He???? Was extremely dazzling and sexy, overshadowing all the other beauties. It was like a chicken among a flock of cranes.
What kind of person was the Monarch, Ning Yuanxian?
Romantic, narcissistic, self-confident, and overflowing with talent.
He???? So beautiful, so sexy, and so amazing in poetry?
After seeing this painting, his heart was even more tempted.
So, the Monarch asked, "Is this woman still innocent?"
The servant replied, "What????" She was clean and had never had a lover.
So, the Monarch secretly asked someone to bring He???? Into the palace, and slept with her!
Of course, He???? After all, she was a famous prostitute and would definitely not take her as a concubine. But the Monarch absolutely regarded her as his exclusive property.
But that night, He???? There was no blood!
No blood, so she was not a virgin.
The Monarch was very angry and felt that he had been deceived.
He???? Crying like blood, she swore to the heavens that she was innocent, pure and flawless.
As for why there was no blood, she really didn't know. Maybe it was because of the horse?
And at this time, Li Wenzheng's poetry collection inexplicably became popular.
Because Li Wenzheng became famous. His scandal in Xuanwu City spread to the capital.
Good news doesn't go out, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Along the way, his poetry collection also became a little popular.
Someone reported to the Monarch that there was a poem in Li Wenzheng's poetry collection that was actually praising He??? And this poem was currently hanging in He???? In her boudoir.
Then there was a rumor that Li Wenzheng's "Beauty Poem" had moved He????? As a result, he became a guest of his bedchamber.
He???? The first time was given to Li Wenzheng.
The Monarch was furious!
He immediately sent someone to investigate Li Wenzheng's residence.
In the end, they found a He???? On it, there were some inexplicable marks and marks, as if it was a drawing of a map.
It also smelled like rotten eggs.
Not only that, they also found a silk scarf in Li Wenzheng's residence. There was a patch of blood on it. It was dark red and should have been worn for a long time.
More importantly, there was a tearful rose embroidered on the scarf. What was this??? It was a special scarf.
It was a solid hammer!
Irrefutable evidence!
No words could describe the Monarch's anger.
But this kind of thing couldn't be told to others.
You Li Wenzheng, how dare you sleep with my woman?
Are you trying to make me a cuckold in advance? Not only that, they also found a bunch of poems full of resentment, insinuating that the Monarch was muddle-headed and had eyes but failed to see. He couldn't leave a good official position to a talented person, making it difficult for him to fulfill his ambition.
Most importantly, they dug out a small person covered with silver needles under the bed. The birth date on it was the Crown Prince. This was a heinous crime. You, Li Wenzheng, surrendered to the Second Prince, yet you dare to curse the Crown Prince? Didn't you go to visit the Crown Prince previously and he said that this person's behavior was improper, causing you, Li Wenzheng, to be unable to get an official position for a few months?
But at this time, the decree to Li Wenzheng had already been issued.
No killing, no stripping of official position, no stripping of official title, only a year's salary penalty.
What should he do at this time?
Just tolerate it? How could it be possible?
Therefore, he sent an expert from the Black Water Platform to execute Li Wenzheng on the spot without a decree or a crime.
After that, he directly said that Li Wenzheng had died suddenly. Moreover, this didn't affect the political signal. After all, the public decree was a year's salary penalty and a certain degree of honor and glory after death.
This was the entire process of Shen Lang's conspiracy!
Li Wenzheng didn't sleep with the Crown Prince at all. He slept with him and didn't touch even half a finger.
What was in his room???? The portrait was real, but the stain map on the portrait was forged by Shen Lang.
What else??? The red mark on the silk handkerchief was, of course, forged by Shen Lang. The most important thing was that the small person buried under Li Wenzheng's bed to curse the Crown Prince was also Shen Lang's doing.
What else??? Why did the plastic wrap disappear? Why didn't the Monarch shed blood when he spoiled her?
This … was also done by Shen Lang's Jin Hui. He removed it with the help of a hallucinogen and a slender knife. It was done half a month ago. When she woke up, she didn't feel anything except a little discomfort.
In this way, when she slept with the Monarch ten days later, of course, there would be no blood.
Shen Lang's entire scheme was bold and imaginative, and it was incomparably vicious.
The most important thing was the small person who cursed the Crown Prince. The small person was real, and the words were written by Li Wenzheng. It was just that Shen Lang combined the two into one.
In the face of a person like Shen Lang, you couldn't even have a gap, let alone a flaw.
Even if there was a small gap, he could tear open a huge wound, and then bury the explosives in, blowing you up into pieces.
The key was that you wouldn't even know how you died.
Of course, the success of this conspiracy was 70% due to wisdom, and 30% due to timing and luck.
There was another key point, and that was that Li Wenzheng's life was worthless. He was a grass root, and could be crushed at any time.
You changed it to Tang Yun? Even if it was Jin Mucong, that fat otaku, it wouldn't be easy to kill him.
…
"Shen Lang, what did you do? What trick did you use to make the Monarch kill me? "
"Shen Lang, tell me, let me die knowing!"
Li Wenzheng roared with all his might, and struggled with all his might.
Shen Lang was very sad.
What was the most important thing in life?
To act cool!
A wise man doesn't act cool.
He had spent so much effort to design a conspiracy, and it had succeeded.
But … he couldn't say it out loud.
What was the difference between this and walking in the dark?
It was so hard to bear!
The day after Shen Lang successfully married into the Xuan Wu Mansion, he couldn't wait to put on his clothes, sit in the carriage, and show off in the village.
Now that he had accomplished such an awesome thing, he had no one to tell.
It was really suffocating.
Brother Li, I also want to tell you, but … this is a secret that can't be told.
Why don't I write it down on paper and burn it for you?
"Shen Lang, tell me, or I won't let you off even if I become a ghost." Li Wenzheng's throat was sore from shouting.
Shen Lang said innocently, "Brother Li, I … I don't know what you're talking about. I don't understand a word you're saying. How did I harm you? I've been fooling around with my wife at home all this time, where did I have the time and energy to harm you? "
"If you don't believe me, look at my eye circles. If you don't believe me, look at my waist. I look like I've overindulged in debauchery."
As Shen Lang spoke, he pointed at his dark eye circles, and hit his sore waist.
The Qian Hu of Black Water Platform couldn't help but look at Shen Lang.
It was true. One look and he knew he was weak.
Young people don't know XXX, old people look at XXXX.
He looked at Mulan again, and suddenly felt relieved.
With such a wife, anyone would be weak like Shen Lang.
Li Wenzheng knew clearly that this was Shen Lang's fault.
He shouted with all his might, "Lords of Black Water Platform, tell the Monarch that this is all Shen Lang's plot, Shen Lang's plot."
The Qian Hu of Black Water Platform said indifferently, "You think too much. Do you think he's a god?"
Li Wenzheng cried, "It's really him who harmed me, it's really his plot."
"Ah … ah … ah …"
This was the legend that no one would believe even if he screamed himself hoarse.
Li Wenzheng was dragged into the carriage and began to die.
According to the Monarch's decree, the carriage sped all the way.
They had to let Li Wenzheng enter the capital before he could die.
So while he was dying, he was fed ginseng soup to keep him alive.
A moment later, a shrill scream came from the carriage.
The torture had already begun.
The Monarch's hatred was really strong.
No words could describe Li Wenzheng's despair.
Thousands of words turned into a single sentence.
Shen Lang, fuck your mother!
It was too miserable.
…
Inside the room, Shen Lang was singing again.
"Being invincible is so … so lonely."
"Being invincible is so … so empty?"
Mulan gritted her teeth, enduring so much.
Finally, Mulan said, "Husband, I don't mind if you sing a song 39 times, but can you not just sing these two lines?"
Shen Lang said helplessly, "Wife, I only know these two lines."
Mulan finally unleashed her power, "Then you're not allowed to sing, can't you just wait quietly?"
Be a quiet handsome man?
I'm good at it.
So Shen Lang sat there quietly, waiting for news.
Since Li Wenzheng was dying, he believed that the Qianhu of Salt Mountain should be afraid and release Mulan's subordinates, Jin Jianniang, and a dozen cavalrymen.
Four hours ago, Jin Zhong brought people to Shioyama Chihose to ask for them.
A mere Qianhu wouldn't dare to go against Xuan Wu Mansion.
It was quiet for about two minutes. Shen Lang felt that it had been a long time. He couldn't help but say, "Wife."
"What's wrong?" Mulan asked.
Shen Lang said, "Can I give you a riddle for you to guess?"
"No," Mulan said.
Even with her eyelashes, she could imagine what kind of riddle her husband was going to say.
It would definitely not deviate from her lower body. If she couldn't feel her Husband's pulse, she wouldn't be a veterinarian anymore.
"Oh." Shen Lang turned away to sulk.
"Sigh!" Mulan sighed and said, "Alright, what riddle? Tell me."
Mulan was really helpless. He was clearly her Husband, but she had to coax him every time?
Shen Lang said excitedly, "I have randomly thought of a messy and crooked poem that contains my incomparably true feelings. I have been shouting these four words in my heart every single day and night. My wife, take a guess."
Mulan said, "Sure!"
Shen Lang Youyou recited, "Muddleheadedly looking for white hair. Wife, your heart is kind. Today, my heart changes again. I fall in love with the bright moon! "
It was indeed a crooked poem.
Mulan started to rack her brain and started to guess the riddle.
It was a four-word riddle.
Mulan was very smart. She quickly found a way to solve the riddle.
When she guessed the first three words, Mulan's expression was still normal.
The three words were: I, I, and I want to.
But when she guessed the last word, Mulan's face turned red. She immediately gritted her teeth.
Her fists were ready to strike.
The Kim clan's teachings were: I can't hit my Husband. I can't hit my Husband.
Because the answer to the last word was: Kun.
At that moment, Jin Zhong came in.
"Young Master, Miss, Captain Salt Mountain is not here. It was the Vice Captain who detained our cavalry."
Mulan said, "Vice Captain? He's just a Vice Captain. How dare he detain our cavalry and not release them? "
Jin Zhong said, "Yes. And he's determined not to release them! He said that if you want to release them, you have to go and beg him personally. "
Shen Lang immediately threw Kun to the side and said coldly, "Who is this Vice Captain? Does he not want to live? "
Jin Zhong said, "He just took office two days ago. You should know him. He's the son of the Splendid Court's boss Lin Mo, Lin Zhuo. He just passed the military examination and became the Vice Captain of Salt Mountain. "
It's him? Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road.
After Lin Mo obtained Shen Lang's golden dye formula, he immediately betrayed Shen Lang to Xu Guangyun and almost got him killed.
So, he was also on Shen Lang's list of enemies.
But compared to Tian Heng and Xu Guangyun, Lin Mo was too insignificant. So, his name was not on the wall.
In Shen Lang's eyes, Lin Mo was even more of a nobody.
And in his plan to bankrupt Xu Guangyun, Shen Lang still needed to make use of this nobody.
Therefore, Shen Lang had allowed him to live on until now.
However, he didn't expect that Shen Lang didn't take revenge on Lin Mo. Instead, Lin Mo started looking for trouble with him.
Shen Lang was not angry. Instead, he laughed, "Is he crazy? He's just a merchant's son, a mere Vice Captain. How dare he go against me? Did he tell you personally that he wants me to beg him to release them? "
Jin Zhong said, "Yes! He said that he'll only consider it if Young Master begs him to release them. "
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes. Ever since he came to this world, Shen Lang had not done anything.
Kill his whole family!
… …
