When Chu Huan was entertaining Gongsun Chu, Dongfang Xin was sitting in Dong Shizhen's study room, clenched his fists, his expression was extremely ugly, his teeth were clenched, and he didn't say a word for a long time. After a long time, he slowly opened his fist, and a stern look flashed across his eyes. , "Master Dong, you have always been good at speaking, why are you silent now?"

Dong Shizhen was standing by the window with his hands behind his back, the sky was not completely dark, and the banana trees outside the window were still glowing with vitality, but Dong Shizhen's face was not as lively as the banana trees.

Hearing Dongfangxin's voice, Dong Shizhen turned around and sighed softly, "What does the general want me to say?"

"I'm going to ask you, why didn't you speak up on the execution platform?" Dongfang Xin stared firmly into Dong Shizhen's eyes, "Your Master Dong is known for being eloquent and eloquent, and the surname Chu is aggressive on the observation platform. Why not argue?"

Dong Shizhen walked to the chair, sat down, did not speak immediately, picked up the teacup on the case, felt that the tea in it was already cold, frowned slightly, and put it down, then looked at Dongfangxin, and said solemnly: "General? I can't tell that Chu Huan has set up a huge trap from the very beginning today...Even Dong, it's useless to see that this person has such deep plans."

"You think he's very scheming?"

"He came prepared today." Dong Shizhen said with a wry smile: "General, you know that our biggest mistake was to delay the execution period. The execution approval document from the Ministry of Punishment had arrived more than ten days ago. Gongsun Chu and the others were executed to avoid future troubles. If Gongsun Chu could have been executed at that time, then the evidence of the Ministry of Criminal Justice could be destroyed immediately, and no one can reverse the case...!"

Dongfang Xin said angrily: "Are you blaming this general?"

"Don't dare." Dong Shizhen shook his head, and said patiently: "The general also wants to give the new governor a bad shot, and kill his courage... There is nothing wrong in itself!"

Dongfang Xin's expression softened, and he said: "I have met Chu Huan a long time ago. He thought he was very capable when he was sent to Xiliang. He easily pressed us on top of us... Hehe, it's easy to be a governor, but he really doesn't have the ability to shit and pee on our heads. The sentence will be postponed, and the sentence will be executed today, which means that we want the surname Chu understands that in the northwest, the power of life and death is not in his hands...!"

Dong Shizhen sighed: "Chu Huan's cunning is far beyond our estimation. He just arrived at Shuoquan yesterday, and he will rush to the execution ground at noon today. The total time in the middle is less than a day. I really didn't expect that in such a short time, he Such a quick layout, such a careful trap... I didn't even think that he actually intervened in Gongsun Chu's case."

Dongfangxin looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "How did he know there was something wrong with those letters?"

Dong Shizhen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "If I'm right, he wasn't sure that there was something wrong with the letter at first, but he wanted to save Gongsun Chu and the others, and to reverse the case for Gongsun Chu, he could only start with those letters... …The biggest evidence of Gongsun Chu collaborating with the enemy is actually those letters. If those letters can be proved to be fake, Gongsun Chu will not be convicted of defecting to the enemy and treason, so he went to the execution ground today because of those letters!"

Dongfangxin clenched his fist and said, "I shouldn't have given those letters to him today."

Dong Shizhen shook his head and said, "If he has no intention of overturning Gongsun Chu's case, it's okay to hand over all the letters to him to read. Those letters are done very carefully, and it's hard for ordinary people to tell the truth from the fake...!"

"Are you saying it's hard for ordinary people to tell the truth?" Dongfang Xin said with a sneer, "Chu randomly pulls out a few people, and he can see the flaws in them, knowing that they have been soaked in oil...!"

A trace of disdain flashed across the corner of Dong Shizhen's mouth, but his expression became calm and composed in an instant, and he asked: "The general thinks Chu Huan just randomly pulled out a few people?"

Dongfang Xin was startled, staring at Dong Shizhen.

Dong Shizhen stroked his beard and said indifferently: "Although oil-soaked paper has existed in ancient times, it has always been despised by scholars, and this crooked way has never been taught by teachers. In fact, very few people know it. In order to create these criminal evidences, I also It took a lot of effort to search the scriptures, and finally found such a method, the general thought that just a few people would know this method?"

Dongfangxin was surprised: "You mean, those people were all arranged by Chu Huan in advance?"

Dong Shizhen nodded and said: "It must be related to him... It seems that last night, our lord governor did not take a good rest due to the exhaustion of the journey, but was busy all night... But I am surprised that Chu Huan looks old He is still young, and he doesn't seem to have read many books, even those Confucian masters may not all know the method of soaking paper with oil, but in today's situation, he obviously made such an arrangement...!" Thoughtful, After pondering for a while, he said slowly: "Looking at it this way, if it's not that Chu Huan knows a lot, then there are experts around Chu Huan!"

Dongfang Xin immediately thought of something, "There is an old guy next to Chu Huan... Well, it seems to be called Du Fugong, he looks like a scholar, could it be that he knows the whole story?"

Dong Shizhen thought for a while, then nodded and said: "What the general said is very true, it is very possible. People with seven surnames in Xiguan went to the Governor's Mansion last night, and they might have talked about Gongsun Chu...then they thought of ways to help Gongsun Chu Chu overturns the case, and if he wants to overturn the case, he must overturn the criminal evidence... Chu Huan and the others may have been suspicious of these letters from the very beginning, and Du Fugong is Chu Huan's man, so he thought of a way to drain the oil and made preparations in advance...!" He said In a low voice, it seemed to be explaining to Dongfangxin, and it seemed to be talking to himself. Finally, he stretched his eyebrows and said with a sneer: "Yes, it must be like this... Those people were originally arranged by Chu Huan... Everything It's all a trap set by Chu Huan...!" He turned to Dongfang Xin, and said word by word: "Including the letters he found last night, they are all part of the trap...!"

Dongfangxin sneered: "The letters they found, those letters must have been faked by themselves. Although it didn't take long, it was enough for them to create perjury...!"

Dong Shizhen said: "My and Ai Zong's handwriting is not difficult to find. As long as Chu Huan has a master who is good at copying, it is not very difficult to imitate our handwriting...!"

Dongfang Xin said indifferently: "Just like when you copied Gongsun Chu's handwriting?"

Dong Shizhen ignored it, but continued: "Chu Huan presented those perjury evidence at the beginning today, which really surprised me... But then I realized that the purpose of his perjury is not to deal with us, but actually for Gongsun's sake." Chu Nagan overturned the case... He took out those letters to give us a hint...!"

"hint?"

Dong Shizhen nodded and said: "Chu Huan is very smart, he knows very well that if Gongsun Chu's criminal evidence was forged, we should be able to quickly see that the perjury evidence he presented was also forged. Let us see this, even though we don't speak, we are already making a deal with us!"

"Make a deal?" Dongfang Xin frowned, obviously a little belatedly.

"If we had given Chu Huan an answer at that time, indicating that we could let Gongsun Chu go and let go of the past, the two sides could cooperate with each other and perform a scene in public. Not only would Gongsun Chu and others be innocent, but we would also be able to ensure that we are innocent. Injury." Dong Shizhen sighed softly: "In fact, Chu Huan's move seems simple, but it is aggressive, and there are not many choices for us. Either everyone tacitly agrees to save Gongsun Chu and the others, or they are tit for tat and do not back down. But From the beginning of the matter, it was doomed that if we confronted each other, we would definitely lose...!" Shaking his head with a wry smile, "But of course the general and Chief Ai will not compromise with Chu Huan...!"

Dongfang Xin seemed to understand something, clenched his fist and said, "You mean, Chu Huan...wasn't planning to attack Ai Zong at the beginning?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Dong Shizhen said: "If there is a chance, of course he will strike... If we had made it clear from the beginning, he would naturally have no chance, but if the fight continues, opportunities will appear...Chu Huan is just here. , has no foundation in Xiguan. Although he is the governor, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has all cases that have been concluded. Even if he wants to overturn the case, if he can't find a reason, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs can close the case. Of course, we will not let him investigate this case again. case, so if he wants to overturn the case and overturn the evidence, he needs to find a reason...!"

Dongfang Xin frowned, staring at Dong Shizhen.

"In the case of Gongsun Chu, the local trial has been completed and the court's approval has been issued. It can be said that it is a final conclusion, and there is no reason to overturn the case." Dong Shizhen said with a wry smile: "But it was never expected that Chu Huan would come up with such a thing. Returning the same way to him, he poured dirty water on us, forcing us to wash off the dirty water on ourselves, but he also wanted to wash off Gongsun Chu’s dirty water. Scholars are originally used to clean dirty water. He offered to help us wash dirty water, just because those perjury evidences were so vulnerable, we could easily refute them, but we had to wash them. He washed them dry for us. The dirty water is exactly the same as ours, and it is reasonable and natural to help Gongsun Chu and the others wash the dirty water...!" Can't help but sigh: "This young man's wrist is much stronger than we imagined...! "

Dongfangxin finally understood at this time, "Master Dong, what you mean is that Chu Huan's method today is to dye our people black first, as black as Gongsun Chu, and then wash them white together. The person is white, and Gongsun Chunagan is also white, and he also defeated Ai Zong?"

Dong Shizhen nodded and said: "The general is right. The facts are exactly the same. We didn't take precautions. We thought it was a certainty, but we were beaten to pieces by Chu Huan. This confrontation, we can be regarded as a crushing defeat!"

Dongfangxin suddenly realized, with murderous intent in his eyes, clenched his fists, his joints creaked, and said coldly: "It's nothing to lose a finger, I want to see how powerful he is, and the one who laughs at the end , is the real winner!"
