Chapter 974: Wine Bag Rice Bag
When Dong Shizhen and the others heard Chu Huan say this, they couldn't help but show a strange look on their faces.
Ai Zong couldn't help but ask, "Lord Governor, your words, the lower officials can't understand. ”
Chu Huan seemed to be hesitating, but finally turned around and glanced at Xuanyuan Shengcai behind him, and asked, "When you cleaned up last night, did you bring those few things that you accidentally found?" ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai had already taken out an oil-paper package from his arms, handed it to Chu Huan with both hands, Chu Huan took the oil-paper package, glanced at Dong Shizhen and Ai Zong, and sighed lightly: "Actually, this thing, the governor didn't want to take it out, from last night to now, the governor has been hesitating whether it should be burned, but...... Now it seems that it is necessary to let a few people take a look. ”
Dong Shizhen and the others showed a look of doubt in their eyes, Dongfang Xin opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but he didn't ask after all, but he saw that Chu Huan had already opened the oil paper package, but there was a stack of letters inside, the envelope was yellow, it had obviously been a long time, and there was even a trace of dirt on the envelope.
Chu Huan took a letter and handed it to Dong Shizhen, then took another letter and handed it to Ai Zong, and wrapped the rest of the letter, then said, "The two adults might as well take a good look!" ”
Dong Shizhen was full of suspicion, read the letter, and suddenly wrote on it, "King Xiao of the Southern Courtyard", his face suddenly changed, there is no doubt that this letter was actually written to Xiao Tianwen.
He was strange, opened it, opened it and looked at the letter inside, the letter paper was yellow, obviously it was a long time, Dong Shizhen glanced at it a few times, his face changed even more, his body shook slightly, and the hand holding the letter was already trembling.
Ai Zong also opened the letter at this time, glanced at it a few times, and reacted more panicked than Dong Shizhen, his face had become pale, and he lost his voice: "This ...... This can't be, this ......! He swayed and took two steps back, his eyes looking incredulous even though terrified.
Chu Huan sighed: "Have the two adults seen clearly? Don't hide it from the two of you, there are more than a dozen letters ...... here! Chu Huan gently patted the oil-paper package in his hand, "If the two adults don't believe in their hands, they can read each letter in this package carefully...... The number of people involved in the letter has exceeded 30 people......! ”
Dongfang Xin saw Dong Shizhen and Ai Zong's reaction, and knew that something had changed, he knew that Dong Shizhen was a cautious person, and he had never been happy, even if he encountered a big thing, Dong Shizhen could also remain calm, but at this moment, Dong Shizhen was unusually frightened, this is a rare thing, knowing that the problem was in the letter, he couldn't help but come forward, snatched the letter from Ai Zong's hand, swept it in his hand a few times, his face had changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "This ...... How is this possible? ”
On the execution platform, the big and small officials in Shuoquan City were already present, and when they saw such a scene, they immediately exchanged their heads and whispered earnestly.
Chu Huan leaned back in the chair and stared at Dong Shizhen's eyes, Dong Shizhen's face was already pale, Chu Huan's cold eyes stared at his face, which made his forehead break out in cold sweat, and he couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "Chu ...... Lord Chu, this ...... Where did this come from? ”
"The Governor said that when I checked into the Governor's Mansion last night, I saw that it hadn't been completely cleaned up, so the people under my hands cleaned it again." Chu Huan said slowly: "The little maid cleaned up, she was careful, and some remote corners were also cleaned, so she found this package, and Ben Du got the oil paper package and looked at the contents, but Ben Du never believed that the things in it were real." Shaking his head, he sighed, "Bendu doesn't believe it at all...... But if you think these letters are ironclad, then the governor has nothing to say......! ”
Dong Shizhen raised his hand and touched his head, looking confused, but Ai Zong's legs were already weak, and he sat on the chair, Chu Huan moved his gaze to Ai Zong, and said lightly: "Lord Ai, when you see these letters, what do you think, you might as well speak up!" ”
Ai Zong Khan was like rain, and he was also touching his head, frightened and confused: "My lord, you ...... You let the lower officials think about it, the lower officials ...... Xia Guan's brain is a little messy! ”
"What do you think?" Chu Huan sighed: "Think about why you are so stupid? Think about the ironclad evidence you just said, how iron-clad is it? He touched his chin and said, "Of course you don't deny it, every word in this letter is your own handwriting, if you don't admit it, we can find someone to verify it...... You, Lord Dong, and you Lord Ai, have all secretly had contact with Xiao Tianwen, and Gongsun Chu's secret letter was read by the Governor, and the wording was shameless, groveling, and making people blush, but your words in the letter were more than Gongsun Chu'......! He raised his hand, pointed at Ai Zong's nose and said, "Especially you, you even respectfully call Xiao Tianwen your father and consider yourself his son...... Lord Ai, if this letter is true, not to mention that the people and the court can't forgive you, I'm afraid your old father won't be able to let you go first, right? He said bitterly: "If it is true, you are a thief and a father!" ”
Ai Zong Khan was like rain, his face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, there is no ...... This...... This is not ...... written by the lower officials! ”
"You didn't write it?" Chu Huan's eyes were like electricity.
Ai Zong said: "The inner self...... The handwriting inside is indeed ...... It's indeed the handwriting of the lower officials, but ...... But this letter, the lower official...... Xiaguan has never written ......! ”
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry, in fact, this governor doesn't believe that these letters are true...... If the Governor takes these letters, presents them to the Imperial Court, and presents them to the Holy Lord, saying that you have secretly communicated with the Xiliang people earlier, defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, and that you have recognized the thief as your father, and have already betrayed Daqin, the Governor ...... Well, Ben Du would have thought he would be very stupid......! ”
Ai Zong and Dong Shizhen looked at Chu Huan, flustered, and didn't understand what Chu Huan meant for a while.
Chu Huan said earnestly: "Just now when I saw the letter, the governor was really surprised, and almost sent someone to immediately take the letter and deliver it to the imperial court, but the governor still calmed down and thought about it carefully, does the governor believe that the Xiliang people set up a trick, or do you believe that you capable officials are basically loyal to the imperial court?" ”
Ai Zong and Dong Shizhen glanced at each other, not daring to say a word.
"We have some misunderstandings of our own, it's not a big deal, misunderstandings always have to be solved." Chu Huan sighed lightly: "But if the Xiliang people are allowed to watch their carving insect skills succeed so easily, let them watch the stupid things of our own relatives and enemies, and make them think that the officials of my Great Qin are all a group of wine bags and rice bags, a group of garbage with only feces in their heads, then we will all be sinners of the imperial court...... Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this is the case? ”
His eyes were only staring at Dong Shizhen, Dong Shizhen nodded helplessly: "Exactly, exactly, what the Governor said is extremely true!" ”
Chu Huan handed the package in his hand to Xuanyuan Shengcai behind him, and when he saw Xuanyuan Shengcai put it away, he said, "Who is Xiao Tian asking?" Self-proclaimed the first general of Xiliang, scheming, that is a first-class old Jianghu. At the beginning, Governor Zhu searched for the evidence of Gongsun Chu and others from the Governor's Palace, and now the subordinates of the Governor have found the evidence of your crimes from the Governor's Palace, all of which are this kind of secret letters of collaborating with the enemy, don't you think this is strange? ”
Dong Shizhen could only bow his head and say, "Please also ask for advice!" ”
"The Xiliang people withdrew their troops because of the domestic turmoil and the cold disaster, so they had to withdraw, and they never really wanted to evacuate in their hearts." Chu Huan said slowly: "Xiliang and my Great Qin are incompatible, it is the land of life and death, the fighting method between the two countries will not end because the Western Liang army withdraws this time, we must be on guard against the comeback of the Xiliang people at any time...... This governor wants to ask you, Xiao Tian asked Nai, the first general of Xiliang, he was forced to withdraw his troops, do you think he will be willing? ”
When he asked, his eyes had already turned to Ai Zong's face, if it was usual, Ai Zong was really not afraid of Chu Huan staring at him, but at this time, he was shocked by the letter, and his mind was undecided, plus Chu Huan's eyes were extremely sharp, and mixed with cold coldness, Ai Zong couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and immediately said, "No...... Unwilling! ”
Chu Huan seemed to be very satisfied with Ai Zong's answer, nodded and said: "Yes, of course Xiao Tianwen will not be satisfied, before he withdraws, he will definitely make some preparations, whether he still has the opportunity to lead the troops again, but he always has to make some preparations, such as Yanmen Pass, they will disassemble and destroy Yanmen Pass, that is preparation, in addition to that preparation, of course they have other preparations......!" Raising his hand and pointing to the letter in Ai Zong's hand, "For example, the letter you have now in your hand may not be a trick of the Xiliang people, the purpose of the Xiliang people is nothing more than to drive a wedge between officials and let their own people kill their own people...... Think about it, such an important letter, how could Xiao Tianwen stay in the Governor's Mansion at will, it was just some secret letters, if he wanted to take it away, it would be extremely easy, and he didn't need to spend any effort to ...... it at all. He raised his hand and tidied up his official robe, and said leisurely: "Of course, this is just the governor's personal speculation, the governor does not believe in these secret letters found out, the governor only feels that these secret letters are like the secret letters found by Governor Zhu before, they are all traps deliberately set by the Xiliang people, if you think that the governor guessed wrong, and think that these secret letters are ironclad evidence, then the governor will have nothing to say." ”
The corners of Dongfang Xin's eyes twitched, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Your Excellency Governor, according to what you say, Gongsun Chu and they were wronged, they are not traitors?" ”
Chu Huan said calmly: "The governor didn't say so, the meaning of the governor is very simple, if the secret letter is true, of course Gongsun Chu is a traitor, of course, in this way, Dong Shizhen, Ai Zong, and many officials involved in the letter are the same as Gongsun Chu, and they can't escape the suspicion of defecting to the enemy and treason...... If these secret letters are all fake, and they are a trick played by the Xiliang people, then of course we can't be turned around by a small trick of the Xiliang people and let them see the jokes...... General Dongfang, although you have no right to intervene in political affairs, the Governor really wants to ask you today, do you think these secret letters are true or false? ”
