After the six people wrote the answers on the paper, Dongfang Xin ordered the six people to stand in a row, and under an order, he ordered the six people to show the answers on the paper, and the crowd under the torture platform squirmed, even if there were illiterate people, but at this time they were squeezing forward, but it seemed that those pictures on the paper were peerless fairyland, and they could prolong their lives at a glance.

Not only the people who watched the execution, but also the officials on the execution platform also came over at this time, and they all looked at the papers, and Dongfang Xin saw the answers written by the six people, and his face changed after all.

Chu Huan had already walked over with his hands behind his back at this time, and when he saw the answers on the six pieces of paper, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he seemed to breathe a big sigh of relief, but his expression was calm, and no one could see what he was thinking.

"General Dongfang, your lords, have you all seen clearly?" Chu Huan said slowly: "The answers of the six people are almost the same, the longest time is about eight months, and the shortest time is about six months......!" "Glance at everyone," in other words, these incriminating evidence of Gongsun Chu was ...... between the first six months and eight months! ”

Dong Shizhen didn't squeeze over to see, he seemed to already know the answer, the corners of his eyes twitched, he sat on the chair, looked at Dongfang Xin, and muttered something, but at this time, almost everyone's attention was focused on Chu Huan, but no one went to Dong Shizhen, and no one cared about Dong Shizhen's current expression.

Ai Zong is not a stupid person after all, otherwise it would not be his turn to sit in the position of the head of the Criminal Department, and because of the fact that the matter involves his own body, he panicked and messed up, but at this time, he already understood that today it seems that he has been ruthlessly calculated by Chu Huan.

"Lord Ai, I don't think you have any doubts about such an outcome." Chu Huan looked at Ai Zong, "These elders, just now they judged that the letter framing Lord Ai was fake, so now that it is concluded that Gongsun Chu's letters were written between the first six months and eight months, there must be no doubt." Without waiting for Ai Zong to speak, he stared at Dongfang Xin and said: "General Dongfang, two of the six people were selected by you, and now that the answer has come out, the six people have judged that the time for this letter to be inked is no more than eight months, I don't know if you still have questions?" ”

Dongfang Xin clenched his fists, he already understood something, but he still asked, "So what?" ”

"It seems that General Dongfang is really confused." Chu Huan sighed: "Shuoquan City was attacked by the Xiliang people two years ago, if these incriminating evidence are true, then Gongsun Chu at least had a secret communication with Xiao Tianwen before the city was broken, but now these letters are only eight months old, and eight months ago, these letters did not exist at all...... This governor is very strange, half a year ago, when the Western Liang soldiers and horses withdrew, these letters appeared at that time, could it be that Gongsun Chu only began to communicate with Xiao Tianwen when he was in the Western Liang soldiers and horses? Even so, the content of the heart is not right, the letter is clearly written, Gongsun Chu is ready to sacrifice Shuoquan City, begging the people of Xiliang to give glory and wealth...... But as early as two years ago, Shuoquan City had been breached, and eight months ago, Gongsun Chu was still a prisoner of the Xiliang people, so how could he come to the county seat? ”

Chu Huan's voice gradually became cold, Dongfang Xin opened his mouth, he was not a person who could speak well, but at this time, he also knew that what Chu Huan said was like a knife, and the facts were there, and it was impossible to refute it at all.

Ai Zong was also sweating heavily at this time, and he finally understood at this time that Chu Huan's real purpose today was not to attack Dong Shizhen and these officials, he claimed that he found some secret letters last night, and at first people misunderstood that he wanted to use these letters to deal with Dong Shizhen and his colleagues, but his ultimate goal was to prove that Gongsun Chu's incriminating evidence was also false through forged letters.

Dongfang Xin didn't know how to defend at this time, but at this time he remembered that there should be a well-spoken Dong Shizhen on his side, so he hurriedly looked at Dong Shizhen, but saw Dong Shizhen sitting on the chair, but he turned his face away, and didn't seem to care about everything that happened here.

Chu Huan had already said with a smile: "Dong Zhizhou! ”

Dong Shizhen's body was shocked, he got up instantly, hurried over, and said with a smile: "What does the Governor command?" ”

"The letter that has just been verified is that Director Ai personally went to the Criminal Department to get it, and there should be no problem." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Now that it has been tested, these letters were written eight months ago at the earliest, and six months at the latest, so it seems that the so-called incriminating evidence of Gongsun Chu and others does not seem to be established...... As the saying goes, to convict people, you need human and physical evidence, but now the physical evidence is no longer established, but I don't know how Lord Dong thinks this matter should be handled? ”

Dong Shizhen reluctantly smiled: "If this is the case, of course these incriminating evidence are fake." ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "It seems that the people of Xiliang are really insidious. Lord Dong, when was this Gongsun Chu arrested and put in prison? ”

"Half a year ago, Xiliang's soldiers and horses had withdrawn from Xiguan, and Governor Zhu led his troops to recover Shuoquan City." Dong Shizhen could only explain: "The soldiers and horses searched inside and outside Shuoquan and found many officials who were captured by the Xiliang people, and Gongsun Chu was in the ...... This Gongsun Chu was living in the Zhizhou Mansion at that time, and Governor Zhu's subordinates searched for these letters in the Governor's Mansion, so they sent people to detain Gongsun Chu and others to prison, and the case was handed over to the Criminal Department to deal with ...... at that time! ”

Chu Huan sighed: "That is to say, before Governor Zhu sent someone to search the Governor's Mansion, Xiliang had just forged these letters, just like what happened to the Governor, the letters that the Governor found in the Governor's Mansion were probably also forged by Xiliang's fine work and hidden in the Governor's Mansion, which was obtained by the Governor...... The reason for this is that they just want us to be internally scattered and make enemies ...... each other! ”

Dong Shizhen arched his hand and said: "My lord is wise." ”

"Since the evidence of Gongsun Chu's guilt is all false, that is to say, the conclusion that Gongsun Chu defected to the enemy and committed treason is not valid." Chu Huan sighed: "On the contrary, the people of Xiliang deliberately forged these letters, but it just proved the innocence of Gongsun Chu and others, if Gongsun Chu and they really took refuge in Xiliang, Xiao Tianwen would try his best to protect them, wouldn't it be better to use them as the internal shoulds of Xiliang?" Since the people of Xiliang want us to convict Gongsun Chu and use these forged evidence, this shows that the people of Xiliang have no evidence of Gongsun Chu's collaboration with the enemy...... Well, it seems that Gongsun Chu has been wronged! ”

Dongfang Xin's eyes widened, and he wanted to argue, Dong Shizhen didn't wait for Dongfang Xin to open his mouth this time, and had already said: "My lord is wise, so it seems that Gongsun Chu and they are indeed wronged......!" ”

"Since it was wronged, it is natural that this criminal law cannot be implemented today." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Master Dong, what do you think we should do next?" ”

"It's all up to the adults." Dong Shizhen said respectfully, but still made a suggestion, "But the lower officials think that since this case has been approved by the imperial court, then the original situation of the matter still needs to ask the imperial court for instructions again...... Gongsun Chu and others, first return to the prison, the lord and the lower officials together to present the fold to the imperial court, explain the matter, and wait for the approval of the criminal department, after the fate of Gongsun Chu and others, I don't know what the adults want?" ”

Chu Huan bowed his head and said: "What Lord Dong said is right, this matter naturally has to be reported to the imperial court, since it is the criminal department that has made a basket, this matter naturally needs to be solved by the criminal department." Shaking his head lightly, he sighed: "If Qiu Shangshu of the Criminal Department knew that such a mistake had occurred, his face would be really gloomy......!" His eyes suddenly sharpened, his hands were behind his back, and his voice became cold: "Ai Zong, are you guilty?" ”

Ai Zong's body stiffened, Chu Huan's voice was like ice, and Ai Zong's body was even colder, but he still said in a trembling voice: "Adult, ......, villain doesn't know what crime he has committed?" ”

"You don't know what you're guilty of?" Chu Huan laughed, "Ai Zong, Gongsun Chu's case, you are trying it?" ”

"That ......!" Ai Zong couldn't deny it, so he could only stubbornly say, "Yes...... It's the lower official acceptance! ”

"The result of the trial was naturally written by you and submitted to the Criminal Department?" Chu Huan squinted at Ai Zong.

Ai Zong shivered, "Yes...... It is a case file written by a lower official. ”

"The Governor knows that you have not been in office for a long time." Chu Huan said calmly: "The state capitals and counties of Xiguan Dao, under the influence of Xiliang, there are many vacancies in the yamen, before the governor took office, the military and political affairs of Xiguan Province were handled by Governor Zhu, Governor Zhu has every opportunity, to govern the four states of Xiguan, it is natural to first fill up the official vacancies in the state capitals and counties, at an extraordinary time, it is unusual, and it is not allowed to be carefully selected by Governor Zhu, so the officials of the prefectures and counties are inevitably mixed...... ”

It was very quiet at this time, although Chu Huan's voice was not loud, but it was very angry, and the people who were close to the front of the viewing platform could clearly hear Chu Huan's words.

"Now that the Governor has taken office, the Governor Zhu has not been able to complete the government affairs, and the Governor will naturally continue to complete it." Chu Huan turned his head to look at Ai Zong, "The reconstruction of Xiguan requires the concerted efforts of the officials and the people, at this time, Xiguan needs more capable officials with outstanding ability, so the governor will never allow the situation of incompleteness of good and bad...... Ai Zong, as the head of the Criminal Department, you are in charge of the criminal prison in Xiguan, Xiguan is very turbulent, there are many cases, if you can't be fair and just, it will only make the situation more chaotic, but what have you done? ”

Ai Zong faintly felt that Chu Huan had raised a knife, this knife was going to be cut off on the top of his head, and if he wanted to argue, Chu Huan had already said: "Gongsun Chu is the former governor of Yuezhou, an important minister of the imperial court, he once fought in Shuoquan bloodily, and made military exploits...... The saint has repeatedly decreed that the case involving officials in the Xiguan matter must be cautious and carefully verified, and the good people must not be wronged ......! Pointing to the letters of those scholars, he sneered: "These forged letters are very easy to identify, this governor is very strange, are you all a group of wine bags and rice bags, these forged evidence of crime are actually used by you as ironclad evidence, Ai Zong, you say, did you deliberately frame Gongsun Chu, or are you stupid and incompetent, and even such forged evidence can easily deceive you?" ”

Ai Zong only felt that his body was weak and dizzy, he only felt that his breathing began to be a little difficult, Chu Huan's eyes were like ice, staring at his eyes, Ai Zong was short of breath, and said reluctantly: "This ...... It's all negligence ...... errands below! ”

"Negligence?" Chu Huan sneered: "Gongsun Chu is the governor of Yuezhou, can't his case make you cautious, such a big case can still make your subordinates negligent?" Ben Governor is very suspicious, you can be negligent in such a big case, so how will you deal with other cases? The Criminal Department is the Criminal Prison Division, which is related to human life, and your negligence is the ...... human life! Pointing to the side of the torture platform, "Look at the other side, fourteen court officials, who used to be loyal to the country, because of your negligence, were beaten as traitors who defected to the enemy and treasoned against the country, and they will correct the law on the spot here, Ai Zong, don't you still know the crime?" ”
