Fang Datong slowly stretched out his hand into his arms, slowly took out a letter, and handed it to Wang Dan: "My lord, here are two confessions, and my lord will understand everything after reading it." ”

Wang Dan stretched out his hand and tore open the cover three times and pulled out a thick pile of paper, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, his face gradually turned pale, and after reading one copy and then hurriedly reading the second copy, he finally roared uncontrollably: "This is a frame, this is a frame, so bold, dare to frame the old man, is there still Wang Fa?" Is there still a heavenly principle? ”

Fang Datong said quietly: "My lord, I am angry. ”

Wang Dan stared at Fang Datong angrily and shouted, "Where did the testimony come from? Who is this flower not gentle and Daruchi? ”

Fang Datong said: "I also received the news from your subordinate Jiang Bin Jiang Qianhu this morning, and he invited me to go to Fort Black Mountain to interrogate two Tartar captives, and I was also curious; After arriving at the Black Mountain Fort, I learned that Jiang Qianhu led his troops to raid the fort where the Tartars were entrenched last night, killed dozens of Tartar rangers, and captured these two Tartar officers; Jiang Qianhu wanted to kill them, but unexpectedly, in order to survive, the Tartar officer said that he was willing to exchange top-secret information for his life, so he obtained these two confessions. ”

Wang Dan said angrily: "Jiang Bin? Did the confession come from someone else? ”

Fang Datong said: "Yes, Jiang Qianhu felt that the matter was very important and did not dare to specialize, so he called the lowly post to check it out, and the lowly post learned about it." ”

Wang Dan sneered: "This is funny, Jiang Bin didn't come to ask me when he got a confession, but asked you to verify, what is the reason?" ”

Fang Datong said lightly: "Don't forget, my lordship, my Jinyi Guard's duty is to secretly investigate the officials of all sizes, and there is no overstepping of authority; Besides, there is nothing wrong with Jiang Qianhu's move, after all, ...... After all......"

Wang Dan said angrily: "Do you want to say that once I report it, I will take precautions, or kill people, right?" ”

Fang Datong said quietly: "In short, there is nothing wrong with Jiang Qianhu's move. ”

Wang Dan laughed angrily, stretched out his hand to tear the two confessions to pieces, and scolded angrily: "Then you really think that the old man is colluding with the Tartars, right? Chen Su is my subordinate general, and he is the wife and brother of the old man, so if this matter is related to him, it must be related to me, right? Do you think so? Well? ”

Fang Datong said solemnly: "It is precisely because of unbelief that he is standing here, according to Jiang Qianhu's meaning, this confession has already been reported; However, I was a little surprised by the fact that the adults had broken up their confessions just now, but fortunately these two confessions were only transcribed copies, otherwise the adults would have been suspected of destroying the evidence. ”

Wang Dan was furious and said: "Ridiculous! My dignified Ulzhou Wei commanded the envoy to collude with the dog Tartar? People with a little common sense will know that this move is a false move, Jiang Bin, hehe! Jiang Qianhu, the old man underestimated you; Where are the two captives now? The old man wanted to interrogate them personally and ask who instructed them to frame them? ”

Fang Datong said with a straight face: "I think that the lord should not make this request, the lord should summon Chen Su immediately, as for the Tartar captive, it is better to avoid suspicion." ”

Wang Dan's hands and feet trembled, and he forcibly warned himself to calm down and not mess up his proportions, how to say that Fang Datong is Jinyiwei's identity, he came to inform himself of this matter, it is difficult to guarantee that he is not here to test himself, to catch his own flaws, the more panicked he is, the more he seems to have a ghost in his heart, and it is serious to think calmly about countermeasures.

The silence in the flower hall is scary, Wang Dan never thought that someone would dare to hit his head with a crooked idea, it is very likely that Jiang Bin's gang is behind the trouble, but the trouble at present is that there are witnesses and confessions, and he can only find a way to prove his innocence.

In silence, Wang Dan slowly spoke: "Fang Baihu, the old man thinks that this matter is someone secretly framing the old man, and the old man does not need to summon Chen Su to come for questioning, because before and after the attack on Black Mountain Fort, Chen Su was not in Ulzhou at all, and the old man sent him to the capital to do errands, so it is impossible to send a letter to Tartar." ”

The ecstasy in Fang Datong's eyes flashed, but his tone was very regretful: "Oh, my lord, that's not easy, General Chen is not in Ulzhou, which means that no one can prove what he was doing that day, so it's not easy to do." ”

Wang Dan shook his head and said: "You didn't understand what I meant, I mean that someone deliberately framed me, and this matter needs to be investigated." ”

Fang Datong shook his head and said: "There is no basis for what you say, do you have evidence?" You need to know that when you come to see your lord today, you believe that your lord is innocent, and I am also worried that it is a counter-plan of the Tartars, or someone deliberately framed him; But it is also a risk to come to you, originally I shouldn't have come here at all, Jiang Qianhu said, if this matter is not reported in time, I am afraid that something will happen, and now the evidence and witnesses are in his hands, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not report it directly. ”

Wang Dan gritted his teeth and scolded: "Jiang Bin, white-eyed wolf! If he has nothing to do with this matter, the old man cuts off his head and uses it as a urinal, it must be a trick behind his back. ”

Fang Datong was surprised: "Jiang Qianhu? No, what kind of enmity does he have with adults? How could he have the audacity to do such a thing? ”

Wang Dan didn't want to say it clearly, so he only waved his hand and said: "You don't know about the affairs in our army, Jiang Bin has long been disrespectful to the old man, and the old man is also strict with him, so he must have a grudge." ”

Fang Datong said: "It is inconvenient to inquire about the affairs of the army, and the humble position has great respect for the adults, since the adults are sitting in Ulzhou, the Tartars only dare to disturb a small share, and do not dare to cross the thunder pool half a step, and the lowly position is afraid that the adults will be wronged, so they take the risk to come to inform; This matter must be investigated quickly, otherwise once it is rumored, it will inevitably cause endless trouble, since the lord said that this was done deliberately, the humble duty thinks that it will simply be reported by the adult, and the court will send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and the adult will be innocent. ”

The corners of Wang Dan's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't be busy, let me sort out my thoughts, a hasty report will inevitably be full of rumors, but it's not good." ”

Wang Danxin said: If this matter is reported, I don't know how many people are waiting to see Lao Tzu fall off the horse, and there are evidence witnesses, so it is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. , just kidding, isn't it? Besides, even if I am innocent, the world will think that there must be a reason for the groundless, how can the emperor let me continue to stay in the border town? What is this place? It is the important place of Gongwei Jingshi, as long as there is half a point of doubt, he will not be able to keep his position.

Fang Datong rolled his eyes, watching Wang Dan squinting his small eyes for a while and frowning and thinking hard, gritting his teeth for a while, his heart turned upside down, the old guy's eyes are above the top on weekdays, he has never received his courtesy, and this time it is also a pleasure to see him suffer; If it weren't for Fang Datong's understanding that Wang Dan would never collude with the Tartars, he would not hesitate to submit the witness evidence.

"Commander Fang, do you think this will happen? The matter will not be reported for the time being, and Old Man Rong will secretly investigate to see who is behind the trouble, and it is not too late to find out the situation and make plans. Wang Dan's tone became very soft, with a faint hint of begging.

Fang Datong scratched his head and said, "This ...... It's not good, the lowly position is already an extra step, if this is known, the lowly position will be over. ”

Wang Dan smacked his lips and said: "You still suspect that the old man has colluded with the Tartars, the old man swears to the sky, if he colludes with the Tartars, my whole family will die without a place to be buried!" The old man understands that you have your difficulties, even if you do the old man a favor, the old man will remember the accommodating friendship of the Fang brothers, and the old man promises to find out the truth as soon as possible. ”

Fang Datong hesitated, Wang Dan clapped his palms, the hall door was pushed open, the old servant of the housekeeper walked in quickly, Wang Dan whispered a few words, the old servant turned around and went out, and after a while, he came in with a heavy package and put it on the table.

Wang Dan lifted the package and put it in front of Fang Datong, and said softly: "Brother Fang, you help the old man with this, this three thousand taels of silver lunch is the old man who feels your affection first, and when the matter is clarified, the old man has another thanks." ”

Fang Datong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This can't be done, isn't this a lowly job difficult to do?" If you want to say that in normal times, you would receive the silver with joy when you give it to your humble position, but today you can't take it under any circumstances. ”

Wang Dan sighed and said, "Brother Fang, I'm afraid that I will pull you into the water, no matter what, human nature, I don't blame you." ”

Fang Datong thought for a while and said: "The silver cannot be collected, but I really believe that the lord will not do anything to collude with the Tartars; I am not alone in knowing about this matter, Jiang Qianhu is an insider, I can't delay the time for you, wouldn't it be bad if Jiang Qianhu reported the matter; In this way, I won't report it here for the time being, Jiang Qianhu will ask Lord Fang to settle it by himself, just when I don't know what happened, how about it? ”

Wang Dan arched his hand and said: "Fang Baihu is righteous and dry, the old man is grateful, and he feels affectionate, the old man will not forget that today is; The old man went to find Jiang Qianhu himself, and asked Fang Baihu to take care of the matter here. ”

Fang Datong said with a smile: "It's easy to say, adults have to hurry up, I heard that the governor of the military department came to Ulzhou, if you teach him to know, it will be terrible." ”

At this point, Fang Datong had no need to stay, he said goodbye and left, Wang Dan personally sent it to the door to say goodbye, and returned to the flower hall, the anger in his heart was uncontrollable, crackling and smashing dozens of valuable vases and dishes, tearing up several precious paintings, and kicking the buttocks of several servants, only then he gasped and yelled: "Go and call Chen Su to me......"
