Chapter 977 Fatal Strike

After the six people wrote the answers on the paper, Dongfang Xin then ordered the six people to stand in a row. At the command, he ordered the six people to show the answers on the paper. Watch the crowds below the punishment platform squirmed. Even if there were illiterate people, they just squeezed forward at this time, as if the paper was painted on the paper was a peerless fairyland, and it could prolong their life by taking a look.

Not only the people who were observing punishment, but also the officials on the observing punishment stage also came over and looked at the paper. Dongfang Xin saw the answers written by the six people, his face changed after all.

Chu Huan was already walking over with his hands on his back. When he saw the answers on six pieces of paper, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief. However, he looked calm and no one could see what he was thinking.

"General Dongfang, sirs, have you all seen it 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...!" He glanced at everyone, "In other words, the evidence of Gongsun Chu was taken into consideration between the first six months and eight months..."!"

Dong Shizhen did not squeeze in to see it. He seemed to have known the answer. His eyes twitched, sat on the chair, looked at Dongfang Xin, and muttered something in his mouth. However, at this time, almost everyone's attention was focused on Chu Huan, and no one left Dong Shizhen, and no one cared about Dong Shizhen's current expression.

After all, Ai Zong is not a stupid person, otherwise it would not be his turn to take the position of the head of the Ministry of Justice. He was panicked and confused because of the matter. At this time, he already understood that today he seemed to have been plotted against by Chu Huan.

"Mr. Ai, I believe you will not have any doubts about such a result." Chu Huan looked at Ai Zong, "The elders just judged that the letters that falsely accused Ai were false. Now it is concluded that Gongsun Chu wrote these letters between the first six months and eight months, so there must be no doubt that there will be no doubts." Without waiting for Ai Zong to speak, he stared at Dongfang Xin and said, "General Dongfang, you have two of the six people. Now the answer has been released. The six people judged that the time for this letter to be written should not exceed eight months at most. I wonder if you still have any questions?"

Dongfang Xin clenched his fist. He already understood something, but he still asked, "So what?"

"It seems that General Dongfang is really confused." Chu Huan sighed: "Shuoquan City was captured by the people of Xiliang two years ago. If these evidences were true, then Gongsun Chu had at least had a secret communication with Xiao Tianwen before the city was broken. But now these letters are only eight months old. Eight months ago, these letters did not exist at all... This governor is very strange. Half a year ago, when the troops of Xiliang were withdrawing, these letters appeared at that time. Could it be that Gongsun Chu started to communicate with Xiao Tianwen when he was in the carriage of Xiliang? Even so, the content in his heart was wrong. In the letter, it was clearly stated that Gongsun Chu was preparing to offer Shuoquan City and beg for the people of Xiliang to give glory and wealth... But Shuoquan City had been captured two years ago. Eight months ago, Gongsun Chu was still a prisoner of the people of Xiliang, so how could he say that the county town came?"

Chu Huan's voice gradually became colder, and Dongfang Xin opened his mouth. He was not an eloquent person, but at this time he knew that every sentence Chu Huan said was like a knife, and the facts were there and it was impossible to argue at all.

Ai Zong was also sweating profusely at this time. He finally understood that Chu Huan's real purpose today was not to attack officials such as Dong Shizhen. He claimed that he found some secret letters last night. At first, it was misunderstood that he wanted to use these letters to deal with Dong Shizhen and his men. However, his ultimate goal was to prove that Gongsun Chu's evidence was also fake through forged letters.

Dongfang Xin didn't know how to defend himself at this time, but he remembered that there should be an eloquent Dong Shizhen here. He hurriedly looked at Dong Shizhen, but saw Dong Shizhen sitting on a chair, but turned his face to the point that he didn't seem to care about what was happening here.

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Master Dong!"

Dong Shizhen's body was shocked, she stood up in an instant, hurried over, bowed and smiled, "What are the instructions of the Governor?"

"The letter that was verified just now was taken by Director Ai personally to the Ministry of Justice. There should be no problem." Chu Huan smiled and said, "Now it is confirmed that these letters were written eight months ago, and at the latest six months. In this way, the so-called evidence of the crimes of Gongsun Chu and others does not seem to be valid... As the saying goes, to convict someone, you need evidence of evidence. Now the physical evidence is no longer valid, but I don't know what Lord Dong thinks should deal with this matter?"

Dong Shizhen forced a smile and said, "If this is true, these evidences are of course false."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "It seems that the people of Xiliang are really sinister. Lord Dong, when did Gongsun Chu and the others be arrested and imprisoned?"

"Half a year ago, the troops of Xiliang had withdrawn from Xiguan. Governor Zhu led his troops to recover Shuoquan City." Dong Shizhen could only explain: "The troops searched inside and outside Shuoquan, and found many officials who were captured by the people of Xiliang. Gongsun Chu and others were among them... Gongsun Chu lived in the prefecture at that time. Governor Zhu's subordinates searched for these letters in the Governor's Office and sent people to detain Gongsun Chu and others to prison. The case was handed over to the Ministry of Justice for handling at that time...!"

Chu Huan sighed: "In other words, before Governor Zhu sent someone to search the Governor's Office, the people of Xiliang had just forged these letters. Just like what the Governor encountered, the letters that the Governor's Office, which I was probably just forged by the Governor's Office, were hidden in the Governor's Office. Then I was obtained by the Governor... The reason is that they wanted to disintegrate our internal affairs and become enemies of each other...!"

Dong Shizhen bowed and said, "Sir, wise."

"Since Gongsun Chu's evidence is false, that is to say, the conclusion that Gongsun Chu surrendered to the enemy and treason was not true." Chu Huan sighed: "On the contrary, the people of Xiliang deliberately forged these letters, which proved the innocence of Gongsun Chu and others. If Gongsun Chu and the others really surrendered to Xiliang, Xiao Tianwen would try his best to protect them. Wouldn't it be better to use them as the inner responders of Xiliang? Since the people of Xiliang hope that we will condemn Gongsun Chu and use these forged evidence of crime, this means that the people of Xiliang do not have any evidence of Gongsun Chu communicating with the enemy... Well, it seems that Gongsun Chu and the others have been wronged!"

Dongfang Xin's eyes were wide open and he wanted to argue. Dong Shizhen did not wait for Dongfang Xin to speak this time and said, "Sir, wise, it seems that Gongsun Chu and the others were indeed wronged..."

"Since you were wronged, today's criminal law will naturally not be implemented." Chu Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Dong, what do you think we should deal with it next?"

"Everything depends on the Lord." Dong Shizhen said respectfully, but still made a suggestion, "But the officials think that since the court has approved the criminal document in this case, the whole story still needs to be asked for instructions from the court... Gongsun Chu and others will return to the prison first. The officials and the officials will submit a memorial to the court to explain the matter. After the Ministry of Justice's approval documents are issued, they will be punished by Gongsun Chu and others. I wonder what the Lord wants to do?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Mr. Dong is right. Naturally, this matter must be reported to the court. Since the Ministry of Justice has made a mistake, this matter will naturally be solved by the Ministry of Justice." He shook his head and sighed, "If Secretary Qiu from the Ministry of Justice knew that such a mistake had happened, his face would be really dull..." His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he carried his hands on his back, and his voice became cold: "Ai Zong, do you know that he was guilty?"

Ai Zong's body stiffened, Chu Huan's voice was like ice, Ai Zong's body was even colder, but he still said tremblingly: "Sir..., the villain doesn't know what crime he committed?"

"What crime do you commit?" Chu Huan laughed, "Ai Zong, did you try Gongsun Chu's case?"

"That..." Ai Zong could not deny it, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "Yes... it is the subordinate who accepted the case!"

"The results of the trial are of course the case was written by you and submitted to the Ministry of Justice?" Chu Huan looked at Ai Zong with his eyes squinted.

Ai Zong felt cold, "It's... the case written by the Xiaguan."

"I know that you, Ai Zong, have not been in office for a long time." Chu Huan said calmly: "All prefectures and counties in Xiguan Road have been affected by Xiliang, and many vacancies have appeared in each government office. Before this governor took office, the military and political affairs of Xiguan Road were handled by Governor Zhu. Governor Zhu was responsible for a lot of affairs every day. To manage the four prefectures of Xiguan, he naturally had to make up for all the official vacancies in each prefecture. In extraordinary times, it was unusual and could not tolerate Governor Zhu's careful selection. Therefore, the officials of each prefecture are inevitably of different quality...!"

It was very quiet all over the place at this time. Although Chu Huan's voice was not loud, he was very energetic. People close to the front of the observation decree could clearly hear Chu Huan's words.

"I am now in office, and Governor Zhu has not completed the government affairs, so I am naturally not allowed to continue to complete." Chu Huan turned to look at Ai Zong, "The reconstruction of Xiguan requires the joint efforts of officials and the people. At this time, Xiguan needs more capable ministers and officials, so this governor will never allow situations of incomplete quality. If you are capable, you should pay more attention to it. If you are not capable, pack your bags for me as soon as possible... Ai Zong, as the head of the Ministry of Justice, you are in charge of the criminal prison of Xiguan. Xiguan is strong and war-torn, very turbulent, and there are many cases. If you cannot be fair and just, it will only make the situation even more chaotic, but what have you done yourself?"

Ai Zong vaguely felt that Chu Huan had raised a knife. The knife was to be chopped down from his head. He wanted to argue. Chu Huan said: "Gongsun Chu is the former governor of Yuezhou and an important official of the court. He once fought against Shuoquan and made military achievements. If he colluded with the enemy, everyone would be punished. If he was innocent, no one could defile the reputation of such a capable minister... The emperor repeatedly issued an order. The Xiguan case involved in officials must be cautious and careful to verify, and not to wrongly criticize good people...!" Pointing to the letters in the hands of the scholars, he sneered: "These forged letters are very easy to identify. I am very strange. Are your Ministry of Justice all a group of wine bags? These forged evidences are actually used as iron evidence by you. Ai Zong, do you think that you deliberately framed Gongsun Chu, or are you stupid and incompetent? Even such forged evidence can easily deceive you?"

Ai Zong only felt his body weak and his head was dizzy. He felt that his breathing began to be difficult. Chu Huan's eyes were like ice, staring at his eyes. Ai Zong breathed rapidly and said reluctantly: "This... this is all a negligence that the following is doing...!"
