If you want to add guilt, why bother without words.
Framing is often the worst way to harm someone.
Framing is often the easiest way to harm people.
False accusations sometimes don't have to be so clever at all, they can still kill people.
A false accusation, even if it is clumsy, is still successful as long as someone believes it.
In the lobby of Shunqing Mansion, the prefect Ma Buchao and Fan Yun of Dongchang were interrogating Hong Fei in person. Hong Fei changed his usual silence style and suddenly confessed in the lobby, claiming to be a member of the Tang Sect and saying that his master was Tang Siji, the leader of the Five Heroes of the Tang Sect.
Although Ma Buchao is a member of the government, he also knows the Tang Sect's status in the world. Of course he also knew that the Shunqing Mansion he was in charge of was also within the Tang Sect's sphere of influence. Since he knew the status of Tang Sect, he was naturally surprised when he heard these words. He also knew that if this matter was really related to the Tang Sect, it would be very difficult for them to solve the case.
Ma Buchao asked in shock: "You said you are from the Tang Sect, do you have proof?"
Hong Fei replied: "Yes." As he said that, he took out something from his body, which was a small piece of incense.
Ma Buchao didn't recognize it and asked, "What is this?"
Hong Fei replied: "This thing is the incense head after using up the Tang Sect's Nether Soul Seizing Incense."
Fan Yun asked angrily: "Thieves, why don't you recruit the real ones? Who ordered you?"
Hong Fei was not afraid at all, and answered very calmly: "Since I am a member of the Tang sect, the people who instigated me to rob the official banknotes are naturally the head of my family, Mr. Tang Mugong, and my master."
Fan Yun asked: "Do you dare to confront someone from the Tang Sect?"
Hong Fei smiled and said: "Why don't you dare? I'm afraid that you will do nothing to harm our Tang Sect." His words were very arrogant and provocative.
Ma Buchao did not dare to offend the Tang Clan, so he said to Fan Yun: "Father, if this matter is really related to the Tang Clan, then we have to discuss it in the long term!"
Fan Yun scolded: "Your Excellency, you are devoting your salary to your Majesty, but you are loyal to your Majesty. How can you be so fearful of force? Forgive him that he is a bunch of reckless gangsters, how dare he confront my court. Now that the prisoner has confessed, why not hurry up and write it down and sign it?" Draw a pledge."
After being scolded by him, Ma Buchao felt that his face was dull and he did not dare to say any more. He only ordered his master to write the document and let Hong Fei draw the pledge.
Fan Yun then said to the messenger in the hall: "Song will be brought to court for trial."
The two government officials were ordered to go down immediately, and soon Song Jin came with them.
"Song Jin, do you recognize this thing?" Fan Yun threw the small piece of incense head to Song Jin and asked.
Song Jin took the incense head and looked at it carefully, and then replied: "This thing seems to have been seen in the carriage blocked by the thieves on the day of the crime, but the general did not recognize what it was."
Fan Yun said with a smile: "That's right. Since General Song has seen this thing that day, it proves that what the prisoner Hong Fei said is true. To be honest with General Song, this thing is the soul-stealing fragrance of the Tang Sect. Xiangtou. In this case, the Tang Clan is indeed highly suspicious of the official bank robbery case."
Song Jin also said bitterly: "When the thief opened the curtain of the car that day, the guilty general did smell a strange fragrance, and his whole body softened immediately. Otherwise, the guilty general would have killed a few more thieves. However, the guilty general would have killed a few more thieves. I never thought that this incense belongs to the Tang Clan, and I would like to ask my father-in-law to investigate the Tang Clan immediately and recover the disaster relief official silver as soon as possible."
Fan Yun said softly: "General Song and I think the same thing, unlike those corrupt officials who are greedy for life and afraid of death." As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Buchao intentionally or unintentionally. Ma Bu supernaturally knew that Fan Yun was talking about him. When he saw him like this, he felt even more unsure and was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.
Ma Buchao was now in a dilemma. He couldn't afford to offend Dongchang, but he didn't dare to offend Tangmen. If this matter is not handled well, losing his official position is a trivial matter, and he may even lose his life.

The Tang family has a wide network of people and many disciples. Among the Shunqing government offices alone, Wen Bao was not the only one in the Tang Sect. Among the yamen servants in the lobby, there was also one who was a disciple of the outer chamber of the Tang Sect. His name was Qian Gubo, and he studied under Tang Sitian, the second hero of the Tang Dynasty.
Qian Gubo had also participated in Hong Fei's trial and knew that he was stubborn and stubborn. Now Hong Fei suddenly retracted his confession in the lobby and claimed to be from the Tang Sect. This was completely beyond Qian Gubo's expectations.
Tang Siji was Qian Gubo's uncle. Naturally, everyone knew Qian Gubo, his disciple, but there was no one named Hong Fei at all. Therefore, Qian Gubo certainly knew that he was lying, but why Hong Fei suddenly retracted his confession puzzled him. Qian Gubo had already learned from Wen Bao that Grandmaster Tang Siji would arrive at Shunqing Mansion soon. So as soon as the errands in the lobby were finished, he immediately went to the prison to find Wen Bao and told him about the Yashang Hong Fei's confession.
Upon hearing this, Wen Bao immediately affirmed: "This matter must be related to Fan Yun's private trial of Hong Fei last night. It seems that their purpose is to frame our Tang Clan."
Qian Gubo asked: "Then what should we do now?"
Wen Bao replied: "My master and master's wife have arrived. Let's go out to find them immediately. They will decide everything."
Qian Gubo replied: "Okay, without further ado, let's go find Master Uncle quickly."
The two quickly left the government office and came to the meeting place on the street. Tang Siji, Wu Xing and others had been waiting there for a long time. After a few words of greeting, Tang Siji introduced Wu Xing, Murong Jie and others to the two of them.
The two of them had only heard of the name of Fifth Line Jianying, but they didn't know who Murong Jie was, so they only said: "I have admired the name of Fifth Line Jianying for a long time, and I'm glad to meet you!" However, they only ignored Murong Jie. .
Murong Jie was a stingy person, and because he had an enmity with Tang Siji last time, he had no good impression of the Tang Sect in his heart. At this time, he was met by two Tang clan disciples again, and he was already angry, but he just didn't have an attack.
After everyone met, Qian Gubo told Tang Siji and others about the confession.
After hearing this, Tang Siji became furious, slammed the table and said, "What a thief, how dare you pretend to be my disciple."
Wen Bao immediately advised: "Master, don't get excited. Now that the Tang Sect has become a thorn in the court's side, it's best for Master not to reveal his whereabouts to avoid arousing suspicion."
When Tang Siji saw that his disciple was right, he immediately calmed down.
Qian Gubo asked: "Uncle Master, how should we act now?"
Tang Siji thought for a while and then said: "Bao'er, go back to the prison immediately and be sure to protect Hong Fei, Song Jin and Fan Chou. The thief has now achieved his goal of framing our Tang Sect, and the next step may be to kill people and silence them. Therefore, these three people are likely to be in danger."
Wen Bao nodded and replied: "Disciple, I understand."
Tang Si then said to Qian Gubo: "Gu Bo, you only need to do one thing - keep an eye on Fan Yun, and don't worry about anything else."
