Dongfang Xin was ridiculed by Xuanyuan Shengcai, he was angry, but he was also a little flustered, he really couldn't imagine that Zhao Xin would go and return, really hide in the general's mansion, and even hide in the Buddha Hall.

What's even more hateful is that his wife really hid Zhao Xin in the bronze Buddha.

Zhao Xin's face towel was picked open just now, and Dongfang Xin wanted to kill Zhao Xin immediately, but Zhao Xin looked quite tough, but Dongfang Xin had the last glimmer of hope.

He and Chu Huan had already torn their faces, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that although he wanted to put Chu Huan to death, Chu Huan might not be able to let himself go.

Chu Huan's recent momentum has been aggressive, Dongfang Xin has already been angry, he has no intention of entangling with Chu Huan anymore, and his heart is already thinking about gathering soldiers and horses to forcibly get rid of Chu Huan.

It's just that at this time, the enemy is outnumbered, Dongfang Xin has no chance to go out of the city at all, he just hopes that Zhao Xin can grit his teeth, bite it on the spot this time, find an opportunity to go out of the city, gather soldiers and horses, and immediately kill into the city.

He is now in a dangerous situation, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in hand, and when he arrives in such a field, he is ready to give it a go.

Although Dongfang Xin was born in a martial arts, he had a lot of things to do, both thick and detailed, and he knew that he couldn't go toe-for-tat at the moment, so his voice was slightly gentle, "My lord, this is the Buddha Hall, and please look at the last general's thin face, don't blaspheme the Buddha here, since the assassin has been found, then the matter can always come to light, it is better to detain him first, and then interrogate him strictly." ”

Chu Huan walked to the Bronze Buddha and saluted to the Bronze Buddha, then waved his hand, Ling Xuanyuan Sheng took Zhao Xin out of the Buddha Hall, Dongfang Xin saw this, secretly happy, as long as Chu Huan really took Zhao Xin away, no matter whether Zhao Xin would confess himself or not, he had the opportunity to get out of the city, as long as he got out of Shuoquan City and arrived at the Pingxi military camp, Chu Huan had great ability, and he couldn't help himself.

It was only Xuanyuan Sheng who escorted Zhao Xin to the courtyard, Chu Huan immediately raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Lord Dong died tragically in Beiwanglou today, our hearts are very sad, now that the assassin has been captured, this governor is ready to be interrogated strictly in front of everyone, when this governor was in Beijing, he had an exchange with Qiu Butang of the Criminal Department, and he also has a lot of experience in the methods of interrogation." ”

The corners of Dongfang Xin's mouth twitched, but Chu Huan had already looked at Dongfang Xin and asked, "General Dongfang, I wonder if Mrs. Zun and Zhao Xin knew each other before?" ”

Dongfang Xin could only stubbornly say: "Know!" ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan said with interest: "Is it that Zhao Xin was the head of the Ministry of War before, and he was an imperial official with the general, so he ...... When Zhao Xin visited the mansion, did he see Mrs. Zun? ”

Dongfang Xin's situation, many officials present were clear, Dongfang Xin knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only say: "Why do you want to ask about these things? ”

"Obviously, Madame Zun is suspected of harboring assassins." Chu Huan sighed: "Everyone can see clearly, Zhao Xin is hiding in the Bronze Buddha, if there is no help from Mrs. Zun, how can he know that the Bronze Buddha can hide people?" Mrs. Zun was not under Zhao Xin's hostage, and was even covering up Zhao Xin's whereabouts, so the governor had to make it clear what the relationship was between them, otherwise why would Mrs. Zun risk harboring fugitives and help Zhao Xin? ”

Zhao Xin had already said sharply: "These have nothing to do with her!" ”

"Whether it is relevant or not, it is not you who have the final say, but the governor who has the final say." Chu Huan said solemnly: "General Dongfang, this governor asks again, what is the relationship between Mrs. Zun and Zhao Xin?" ”

Dongfang Xin clenched his fists, this was the topic he was most reluctant to talk about, at this time Chu Huan asked in public, he was angry, and said stiffly: "It's a fellow villager!" ”

"Countryman?"

"Not bad." Dongfang Xin said: "The last general was born in Yunzhou, Tianshan Dao, and Zhao Xin is also from Yunzhou......!" ”

"I see." Chu Huan sighed: "In this way, Mrs. Zun saw that her fellow villagers were in trouble, so she came to help?" ”

Dongfang Xin glanced at Mrs. Dongfang coldly, and sneered: "The woman is stupid, there is no distinction between public and private, just because of the friendship of her fellow villagers, she committed such a big crime, everything is determined by the adult!" ”

Dongfang's confidence has already been decided, no matter what, let's survive tonight first, as long as the blame can't be pulled on me tonight, no matter who is involved, it doesn't matter, as long as Chu Huan leaves, he will immediately find an opportunity to get out of the city, and when the time comes, he will lead the troops to kill, and at that time, he will definitely step on Chu Huan's head under his feet.

Chu Huan said with a straight face: "General Dongfang, Mrs. Zun harbored the assassins, the responsibility is not light, if you really want to be guilty, I'm afraid it will ......!" Sighed.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Dongfang Xin is a man and has a clear distinction between public and private." Dongfang Xin said solemnly: "Cheap and thoughtful of the villagers, shielding the assassins, although it is disposed of by the adults." ”

Mrs. Dongfang was expressionless, she didn't even move the corners of her eyes, Zhao Xin's brows were locked, Dongfang Xin was only afraid that Zhao Xin didn't understand his mind, so he gave a look in a plausible way, hoping that Zhao Xin could understand.

Chu Huan turned his eyes to Zhao Xin and asked, "Zhao Xin, General Dongfang's words, there must be no mistake?" You and Mrs. Dongfang are both from Yunzhou? Is it Mrs. Dongfang who thinks of her nostalgia, so she hides you in the bronze Buddha? ”

"Yes, we're fellow countrymen, but she's not harboring them." Zhao Xin sneered: "It was I who hid here and forced the woman to hide me in the Bronze Buddha, she is just a weak woman, so naturally she doesn't dare to resist." ”

When Mrs. Dongfang heard this, her eyes couldn't help but cross the color of gratitude.

"But you've got her involved." Chu Huan sighed: "You assassinated Lord Dong, the crime is extremely evil, and it is a dead end, Mrs. is tired of you, I am afraid that it is also a crime that cannot escape ......!" ”

"It's not about her, don't embarrass her." Zhao Xin said sharply.

"Actually, I also want not to involve Madame, but everyone is here today, and you can see it at a glance, and this governor can't bend the law for personal gain." Chu Huan said with a straight face: "Zhao Xin, this governor has never forced people into a dead end, and gives you a way to live, as long as you recruit from the truth, this governor promises in public that he will only punish the culprit, not to embarrass you, and it will not involve his wife, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Xin's lips moved, but he didn't speak.

Dongfang Xin clenched his fists, his heart was a little panicked, and he was about to speak, but Chu Huan had already raised his hand to stop, "The general doesn't need to worry, this governor is interrogating, and there will be a result soon!" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai had already sneered: "Zhao Xin, it seems that you are also a dignified seven-foot man, Mrs. Dongfang took the risk to save you, and now that the East Window incident has happened, is it possible that you still want to put Mrs. in danger in order to cover up the culprit?" The Governor gave you a way to live, and it was also a way for your wife, so why don't you recruit it truthfully? ”

Zhao Xin looked at Mrs. Dongfang, saw that Mrs. Dongfang's face was a little pale, closed his eyes, groaned slightly, and finally said: "Governor Chu, of course your promise will not lie to me?" ”

"The Governor promised in public, and of course he said his word." Chu Huan sighed, "Zhao Xin, you have no other way to go, so let's recruit it, you tell the Governor, who instructed you to assassinate the Governor and Lord Dong?" ”

Zhao Xin's eyes flickered, as if he was still hesitating, everyone held their breath, but saw Zhao Xin's gaze move slowly, and finally fell on Dongfang Xin's face.

Dongfang's confidence sank, and he couldn't help but take a step back, Zhao Xin had already said: "Big brother, now that the matter is over, we don't have to hide it, the fifth brother is sorry for you, I can't complete your instructions, I ...... I'm damned! ”

Dongfang Xin's eyes were split, and he said sharply: "Zhao Xin, you ...... You fucking bullshit, old man...... When did Lao Tzu instruct you to assassinate Dong Shizhen? ”

Zhao Xin smiled bitterly: "Big brother, did you forget all the things you explained that night?" You also told me that once you missed, you quickly sneaked back to the General's Mansion and hid in the Buddhist hall, and the Governor of Chu would never be able to find it, because the old five were incompetent and someone found his traces...... The fifth child has involved you, so this will be repaid with death......! He raised his hand and was about to slap it on his head, but Xuanyuan Sheng had already reached out and grabbed his wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, tie his hands!" ”

Immediately someone stepped forward and tied Zhao Xin's hands, and the officials in all directions were already talking, those who were close to Dongfang Xin had already avoided backwards, Dongfang Xin only felt that his limbs were cold, and his wolf-like eyes were staring at Zhao Xin's body, and he already knew at this time that he had entered a big trap.

"Zhao Xin, you can't talk about it." Chu Huan said coldly: "You said that General Dongfang instructed you to assassinate Lord Dong and Bendu, is that really the case?" ”

Zhao Xin sighed: "Governor Chu, General Dongfang is my righteous brother, he is as kind to me as a mountain, originally this Xiguan is my eldest brother's world, and he is full of words, but when you arrive in Xiguan, you are embarrassed by my eldest brother everywhere, we regard you as a thorn in the eye, and kill you quickly." ”

Dongfang Xin's face was already extremely ugly, but Chu Huan had already asked: "I am afraid of this governor, and I want to get rid of this governor, this governor can understand, then why do you want to assassinate Master Dong again?" ”

"Dong Shizhen is not from Tianshan Dao." Zhao Xin said: "This person is two-faced and three-faced, and he seems to be obedient to the eldest brother, but behind his back, he is not convinced by the eldest brother, and the eldest brother's orders, he sometimes pushes back and obstructs, such a person is naturally not easy to use." Originally, this assassination was mainly to deal with you, but since Dong Shizhen was present, if there was a chance to get rid of him, it would naturally be a great thing! ”

"You mean, the assassination of Dong Shizhen was instructed by General Dongfang to do it?" Chu Huan said coldly.

Zhao Xin calmly faced Chu Huan's gaze, "Big brother's original intention was to eradicate you, but he also instructed that if he found the opportunity, he would easily get rid of Dong Shizhen." ”

"Zhao Xin, you framed me!" Dongfang Xin roared sharply, took two steps back, but felt the coldness behind him, and when he turned around, he saw several guards samurai blocking his retreat, the sword light flashed, and it was cold and piercing.

Zhao Xin ignored Dongfang Xin, and continued: "As long as you Governor Chu and Dong Shizhen are killed, then the military and political power of Xiguan will all fall into the hands of the eldest brother, and at that time, Xiguan will truly be our world!" ”

Suddenly, an official said: "No wonder before Lord Dong died, he pointed at Dongfang Xin and said that Dongfang Xin had harmed him...... At the time, I didn't understand what it meant, but now I understand that before Lord Dong died, he had already peeked through his mysteries......! Everyone looked at the past and knew that the person who spoke was Fan Xuan, the director of the Ministry of Rites, and most of the Yamen of the six departments of Xiguan had been controlled by the Zhu Party, leaving only the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry as the original principals, and they had not been overthrown for the time being.

All along, the chief of the two divisions of the yamen has been bowing his head, cautious, enduring humiliation, today is a great opportunity, Fan Xuan, the director of the Ministry of Rites, saw that it was a great opportunity, and then did not hesitate, on top of the fire, add fuel to the fire.
