Chapter 17 Chapter 1 Believe in others and die

Lin Chong suddenly realized!Aren't all the previous things connected together into a piece, a bottomless trap? As mentioned last time, in order to get rid of Lin Chong, keep himself safe, and allow Gao Yanei to occupy Lin Chong's wife, Lu Qian resorted to vicious tricks.The first plan is to sell the knife to Lin Chong; the second plan is to trick Lin Chong into entering the Baihu Festival Hall with a knife, and then frame him for the crime of assassinating Gao Taiwei.Now, Lin Chong has bought that precious sword, and he loves it so much that he even plans to compare it with Gao Taiwei.The chain plan has already hit one plan, and he is so careless, before others implement the second plan, he himself is thinking of throwing himself into the trap.

So, the remaining plan was implemented very easily: two pretended Chengju came to the door the next morning and said to Lin Chong: "Master Lin, Taiwei Junzhi, I want you to buy a good knife. I told you to go and have a look, and the Taiwei is waiting in the mansion." When Lin Chong heard this, he was not only not vigilant, but secretly pleased.He said: "What a lot of words!" Jin Shengtan quoted Zhu Xi's words under this sentence and said: "If there are any regrets in his words, he is actually very happy." Why is Lin Chong so happy?There are three reasons: 1. Finally, he can see the treasured sword of the Taiwei; Put on almost.

He really forgot about Gao Yanei molesting his wife! Gao Qiu, not to mention how the people in Tokyo hated him, even after he became a captain, the real hero also despised him extremely: Wang Jin called him a sophomore in high school and a rascal, and avoided him as much as possible; Lu Zhishen called him "" A pinch of birds", three hundred Zen sticks should be hit on him.But Lin Chong respected him so much! The two commissioners lured Lin Chong to the White Tiger Festival Hall, and took the opportunity to slip away.Lin Chong was lingering outside the White Tiger Festival Hall and waited stupidly. When he suddenly looked up and saw the four blue characters of "Baihu Festival Hall", he broke out in a cold sweat: "This White Tiger Festival Hall is a place for discussing important military affairs. How dare you enter without any reason!" When he hurriedly turned around and wanted to leave , Gao Qiu suddenly appeared and shouted: "Lin Chong! You have no call, how dare you enter the White Tiger Festival Hall! Do you know the law? You have a knife in your hand, are you here to assassinate me? Someone said to me, you two Serving in front of the mansion with a knife three days ago must have evil intentions!"

Lin Chong bowed and told: "Enxiang, Lin Chong has just been called by two commissioners to compare their swords." The captain shouted, "Where is the commissioner?" Lin Chong said, "Enxiang, the two of them have already entered the hall. went." The Taiwei said: "Nonsense! What kind of bureaucrat dares to enter my mansion? - left and right! Take this fellow with me!" Before he finished speaking, more than twenty people came out of the side room and pushed Lin Chongheng down. Obviously, there is a big doubt here. If the investigation and defense are allowed, I will be Lin Chong's defense lawyer, and I will point out this point: Why did these people come in such a timely and orderly manner?This fully proves that this is a trap that has been set long ago.

Next, Gao Taiwei said angrily: "Since you are the instructor of the imperial army, you still don't know the law! Why do you enter the festival hall with a sharp knife in your hand and want to kill me?" Note that there is a crucial difference between Gao Taiwei's sentence and what he said to Lin Chong just now: the sentence just now was: "Could it be that you came to assassinate this official?"And this sentence became "Because of holding a sharp knife in his hand, he entered the festival hall and wanted to kill this official." It was already a statement of conviction, and Lin Chong's charges had been settled!

Now that the crime had been convicted and the murder weapon was still there, Gao Taiwei asked the left and right to push Lin Chong down and beheaded immediately.Lin Chong yelled that he was wronged, and argued that he did not intend to assassinate the Taiwei.How could Lin Chong kill him so easily?Therefore, what is called grievance here is dissatisfaction. In fact, I have already defended him above, and this defense can be summed up in two points: first, as far as Gao Li is concerned, if it wasn't for the pre-designed trap, how could he stop drinking and talk about it? More than 20 people walked out of the ear room?These twenty people did not show up when Lin Chong was wandering around with the sword in hand, did not show up when Gao Qiu was talking to Lin Chong, but only appeared when Gao Qiu gave orders?

The second point, from Lin Chong's point of view, if he really came here to kill Gao Lian, he should have stepped forward when Gao Lian appeared, drew his knife and stabbed him, instead of holding the knife and asking for peace. Of course, when Lin Chong was with Gao Qiu, he only dared to say that he did not come here to assassinate Gao Taiwei, but never dared to say that Gao Taiwei framed him.His grievances, his disobedience must be because he only dared to defend himself on his own side and his behavior. Of course Gao Qiu would not listen to his excuses, but asked, "What is your business in the White Tiger Festival Hall? Seeing that you have a sharp knife in your hand, why didn't you come to assassinate the lower officials?"

This is a typical presumption of guilt.The crux of it is that Lin Chong has to prove that he is not an assassin, not Gao Taiwei who has to prove that Lin Chong is an assassin.Lin Chong bears the burden of proof. Lin Chong said: "The Taiwei didn't call, how dare you come in? Seeing that there are two commissioners who have gone to the watch hall, that's why Lin Chong came here." On the premise of the presumption of guilt, comparing the two, it is obvious that Gao Lian's questioning is more powerful, because Lin Chong came to the festival hall because the Taiwei sent two Chengju summons to come to test the sword.But Lin Chong's statement can only be proved by Gao Lian.That is to say, Lin Chong is now in such a paradox: first, he has to prove himself that he is not an assassin; second, his proof must be proved by Gao Taiwei.Related to this, Gao Taiwei was in a favorable situation of circular mutual evidence: first, he could deny Lin Chong’s evidence, so Lin Chong could not prove his innocence; second, if Lin Chong could not prove his innocence, Lin Chong would be guilty.

Therefore, it can be said that Gao Qiu has the chance to win, but Lin Chong cannot clear up his grievances. Therefore, it can be said that at this point, Lin Chong, the leopard head, has been tightly bound in the snare set by Captain Gao. However, after listening to Lin Chong's dissatisfied excuse, Gao Taiwei really did not immediately behead Lin Chong in the festival hall, but shouted: "This guy refuses to accept the order and sent him to Kaifeng Mansion, and ordered Yin Haosheng of Teng Mansion to push him away." Ask Kanli, understand the execution!"
