Chapter 18 Chapter Two

Originally, if Gao Taiwei had killed Lin Chong here, it would have been a one-hundred-and-a-half, everything will be fine, and everything will be fine, but why did he send Lin Chong to Kaifeng Mansion so that Teng Fu Yin can judge? First, Lin Chong refused to accept it and yelled that he was wronged.Moreover, objectively speaking, although Lin Chong could not prove his innocence, it would be difficult for Gao Qiu to prove that Lin Chong was indeed guilty; Even if Lin Chong can be found guilty, he can't shirk the charge of hasty killing. Therefore, we say that Lin Chong yelled at this time and saved his own life.

Second, and more importantly, Gao Qiu was confident that Lin Chong would be sentenced to death after being sent to Kaifeng Mansion.You know, Gao Qiu is a ruthless person, and he is ruthless enough to do things. If he is not sure that Tengfu Yin will obey his will and sentence Lin Chong to beheaded, he will definitely kill Lin Chong immediately in front of the festival hall. It will be settled slowly, not to mention that the current emperor is just a foolish emperor who is manipulated and fooled by him. That being the case, since he could kill Lin Chong and achieve his goal, and at the same time use the hands of others to gain a fair reputation for himself, why not do it?

So, why did Gao Qiu believe that the Kaifeng government would follow his will and sentence Lin Chong to execute him? Because, this is already the custom.Let's take a look at Sun Kongmu and Sun Ding's complaints to the Yin of the Teng Mansion written below: "Who doesn't know that Gao Taiwei is in power and relying on power and power, and he also does everything in his mansion, but if someone slightly violates it, he sends it to Kaifeng Mansion. If you want to kill, you can kill, if you want to cut, you can cut!" It turned out that Gao Taiwei used the Kaifeng Mansion to avenge his personal revenge. It was not just once, and he succeeded almost every time. For a small offense, he would be killed if he wanted to be killed, and Lin Chong would be killed if he wanted to be cut.

Gao Taiwei has made this Kaifeng mansion no longer belong to the imperial court, but his Gao Taiwei's family! As we mentioned above, Taiwei Gao regards Taiwei Mansion and Baihu Festival Hall as the place and basis for his crimes, is it more than that?Even the majestic Kaifeng Mansion has become his accomplice in harming kindness? In Sun Ding's remarks, there is another sentence that should be paid attention to, that is, "everything is done in his mansion". We have explained this in detail above. From Wei to Ya Nei to Lao, to Lu Yuhou to Fu'an, there is not a single good thing, and they all have no sense of justice, right and wrong, and shame. Let's look at it now. In Wei's Mansion, besides the above-mentioned people in the White Tiger Festival Hall, how many people participated in the conspiracy: two pretended Chengju; The twenty or so people who went down included many military academies involved in the conspiracy and those who escorted Lin Chong to Kaifeng Mansion.We can imagine that in the Taiwei's mansion, in the Baihu Festival Hall, as long as Gao Taiwei likes it, as long as Gao Taiwei orders, there is no one who talks about conscience, right and wrong, etiquette and shame. Here, everything is obeyed. Commanded by Taiwei Gao's magic wand of power, under the command of Taiwei Gao's magic wand of power, these people have all become devils!

Since the White Tiger Festival Hall has become a trap, a wolf's lair in a tiger's den, wouldn't Lin Chong be dead if he strayed into the White Tiger Hall! Gao Taiwei guarded Lin Chong from left to right, and also took the precious sword as the murder weapon and evidence of the crime, and threw it to Kaifeng Mansion.It just so happened that the governor of the government had not retreated from the office, Gao Taiwei took Lin Chong in front of the mansion, knelt down on the steps, Gao Taiwei placed the knife sealed by the Taiwei in front of Lin Chong, and told the Taiwei's words to Tengfu Yin up.What is the Taiwei's words?That is, Lin Chong's crimes have already been characterized, and the Governor is required to sentence Lin Chong to death.

It is worth noting that Tengfu Yin's words.After hearing this, Fu Yin said to Lin Chong: "Lin Chong, you are the instructor of the imperial army. Why do you not know the law and hold a sharp knife in your hand, so you enter the festival hall? You are a damned criminal!" We can see that there is a big difference between Tengfu Yin's words and Gao Taiwei's words: Gao Taiwei's original words accused Lin Chong of three sentences: "With a sharp knife in his hand, he entered the festival hall and wanted to stab this official." The first two sentences are action, and the last sentence is purpose.If there is no latter sentence, just having the first two sentences is a violation of the regulations and a general violation of the law.The latter sentence is the death penalty.

In Tengfu Yin's words, the last four crucial words were missing, only the first two sentences: "holding a sharp knife in hand, so enter the festival hall". This shows that Tengfu Yin only admitted the basic facts: Lin Chong did appear in the White Tiger Festival Hall with a sword in his hand.But Lin Chong's purpose, reason, and motivation for this trip did not make any judgments, let alone that he "wanted to kill the official". If there is no purpose of "wanting to kill the official", or if this fact cannot be ascertained, the death penalty should not be imposed. ——Lin Chong's lifeline appeared.

Moreover, after careful consideration of Tengfu Yin's words, one can obviously feel the feeling of regret, even remorse, and the purpose of complaining.You, Lin Chong, are also the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards. You should know the law, but why are you so careless and fooled like this?It's a damned sin. Lin Chong knows the law, which is the premise both Gao Taiwei and Tengfu Yin admit.There must be other reasons for a person who knows the law to enter the festival hall. Under the same premise, different conclusions can be drawn: Gao Taiwei thus gave the conclusion of "wanting to kill the official".And we, including Tengfu Yin, can also draw the opposite conclusion: Someone must have tricked and seduced, designed to frame!

At this point, Lin Chong suddenly realized that all the previous signs were now connected together. He finally knew that all of this was a trap, and he finally knew that Gao Yanei did not let it go, and Gao Taiwei had also intervened deeply. He Lin Chong had become their must-have Objects that you want to get rid of quickly.He told Gao Yanei the whole process of molesting his wife twice, from buying a knife to himself, and then calling from Gao Taiwei's faction bureau, and tricking himself into going to the Baihu Festival Hall, until he was arrested and accused of assassinating the Taiwei. Teng Fu Yin.

What is very interesting is that after listening to Lin Chong's narration, Tengfu Yin did not say a word, but just wrote a palindrome, which was brought back by Gao Taiwei's subordinates, and Lin Chong was put on the shackles and put into prison. Down. We can see that when Lin Chong was brought to Kaifeng Mansion, the Kaifeng Governor's reaction was very flavorful: a sentence he said was very flavorful. It's better if he doesn't say a word.
