C27 shamelessly framing (1/2)
If not for Nan Jifu's order to live, Wen Xun would have long ago cut him to death.
Although Sun Linhu sympathized a little, in order to prevent himself from getting into trouble, he allowed himself to do as he pleased.
Within a few days, Wei Yutian was sent to Jinnan. Sun Linhu and Wen Xun also explained everything that had happened during the confrontation with the Anhui Army to the Jinnan Lord, Nan Jifu.
He knew that Nan Jifu would never believe that Wei Yutian would have such a strong martial arts, nor would he believe that Wei Yutian would go through so much trouble to the Jinnan to suffer and serve his sentence, nor would he believe that Wei Yutian would think of a way to dissolve the war between the two armies.
But when Sun Linhu handed over the escort order to Nan Jifu, Wen Xun started to panic, but he came up with a plan.
”Your Majesty, I have my own plans.”
”Speak!”
”Indeed, before this battle could even begin, it was stopped by Wei Yutian. But I think there are a lot of questions. ”
”Oh? Tell me about it. ”
”This subject has seen the General Sun's extreme respect for the Demon Guard, and this makes me suspect that this was a scheme from the very beginning. Just think about it, the Anhui and my Jinnan have an agreement on not invading each other, how would they take advantage of the time when our forces are fighting against my West Qin Nation to launch a sneak attack? Therefore, this official thought that this sneak attack was just a show. The person directing this scene is the General Sun, the Behind the scenes is the Guardian Demon, and the Anhui's General Huang Peng is just cooperating with this show. ” Wen Xun instigated, and his words were directed straight at Sun Linhu.
When these words came out, Sun Linhu was instantly shocked. He completely did not expect that Wen Xun would actually create something out of nowhere and directly frame him. One's heart could not help but be treacherous and cunning. However, he was not flustered. He was not afraid of the slant of the shadow. He was upright, fair, and upright, so what was there to fear from a vile character.
Nan Jifu frowned, he glared at Sun Linhu, and killing intent filled his eyes. But whenhe saw that Sun Linhu did not have the slightest bit of panic after being told the truth, she knew that the matter was not as Wen Xun said.
”Wen Xun, it seems that your judgement is completely unreliable.” Nan Jifu questioned Wen Xun.
”Your Majesty, this subject has seen that General Sun is extremely respectful towards the Demon Guard, so this subject surmises that the General Sun has known the Demon Guard since the beginning, and might even listen to his orders. In order to lessen the prison sentence, the Demon Guard asked the General Sun to create a play about the Demon Witch Zhige. This way, she would also be able to record down a merit for the General Sun. Thus, the General Sun called for the Anhui's General, Huang Peng, to cooperate. With the agreement, Huang Peng wouldn't really do anything to the Jinnan. ” Wen Xun's words were firm, as if he had exposed the truth.
This sentence, logically speaking, made quite a bit of sense, causing Nan Jifu to believe it. He looked at Sun Linhu with anticipation and anger, as if he wanted to see how the other party would defend him.
Sun Linhu naturally could not say a single word, and allowed himself to be framed.
”Surveillance Wen's fabrication is very logical. I, Sun, am unable to defend any of you. But if you can come up with solid evidence, I'll plead guilty. ” Sun Linhu said unhurriedly, he had long noticed that Wen Xun might take this opportunity to display his skills in the army camp and join in on his plan, planning for an opportunity to advance his career and frame Wei Yutian.
Nan Jifu slightly nodded his head, expressing his agreement with Sun Linhu's words, and then looked at Wen Xun with a questioning gaze.
Sun Linhu was a martial general after all, and was in the midst of doing too many things. He still needed to rely on a martial general to accomplish all these, which was why he was so lenient towards Sun Linhu from the start.
Even though Wen Xun's words were clever and logical, he still didn't have any evidence to prove that he was right. Thus, he was in a difficult position, revealing an expression of worry and fear.
It seemed that Wen Xun had been blinded by hatred and had lost all sense of reason due to his desire to be promoted. He didn't even have any proof and directly took and Wei Yutian in.
”Your Majesty, everything this subject has said is true. They have already planned it all out, how could they leave any evidence? ”However, this subject believes …”
Before Wen Xun could finish, Nan Jifu interrupted him.
Nan Jifu knew clearly in his heart that Wen Xun was a hypocrite. The reason why Wen Xun still had a salary in the court was because he wanted to use to supervise the other officials in the court.
With this kind of person, the other officials would definitely be careful in their work, so that Wen Xun would not have any weakness. Otherwise, once Wen Xun found out, he would become a stepping stone for others to climb up.
”Wen Xun, since you do not have evidence, how can you accuse General Sun? Do you know the crime of falsely accusing an important official of the imperial court? ” The angry look on Nan Jifu's face was indeed a bit scary. Everyone in the court could not help but lower their heads, not daring to look straight at Nan Jifu.
Wen Xun was so frightened that he started sweating profusely. His legs went weak and he kneeled on the ground: ”Your Majesty, this subject's words are true!” He was still defending his own mindless falsehood.
