As a politician, Han Yu had planned quite a few strategies in his life.

Some of these strategies are complex, some are simple, some are brilliant, some are mediocre, some are successful, and some are unsuccessful.

But no matter what, even the strategies he thought of, even those that ultimately failed to achieve the results he expected, you can't say that he failed when he designed them, let alone that his strategies were stupid. They are just sometimes plans. If we fail to keep up with the changes, the development of the situation will be beyond human control.

However, today, Han Yu implemented a strategy that later proved to be the most wrong, stupid, and regrettable in his life - he tried to frame an illiterate person for stealing state secrets.

Of course, he can't be entirely blamed for this.

Han Yu never imagined that a young knight from a famous family in Jiangdong, who traveled all over the world, would be illiterate...or at least semi-literate.

So when the housekeeper took Brother Sun to Mingyu Hall, where an ambush had been laid, Han Yu was still secretly chuckling in his heart: "I thought I would have to pour you a few more drinks during the banquet before one of you would I asked to go to the toilet, but I didn't expect that the boy named Sun was going to go as soon as he arrived. Haha... This is really a blessing for me. Even if I can't directly accuse you of a capital crime, it is enough for His Majesty to take back your imperial gold medals. Alright?"

While Han Yu was thinking, he, Huang Donglai and Linghuxiang came to the banquet room of the house.

Because they arrived in a hurry, the dishes in the kitchen were also being served in a hurry. When they entered the room, the cold dishes were not yet placed on the table.

However, Huang Donglai and Linghuxiang obviously didn't care about such details. They didn't say anything and just "invited" Han Yu to the table.

"Master Han, speaking of which, please put it on the post... You want to ask us about the death of the consort. Where do we start from?" Huang Donglai sat down and asked in a pretentious manner. Fa, took the initiative to stir up this topic.

"Uh..." Han Yu thought for a while and responded, "Young Master Huang, I'm telling you the truth, Han was so ill that he rushed to the doctor." He paused for half a second and then said, "Xuan Sheng's death was really bizarre. , leaving Han with no clue, Han thought that maybe he could get some unexpected results by asking some strange people in the world."

"Hmph..." Huang Donglai immediately sneered in his heart, "Old fox... I'm pretending to be you, right? Obviously many people know that we were in the Army and Horses Division in the south of the city that night, but you deliberately didn't mention it. Are you trying to make us feel guilty and expose our flaws?"

"That's easy to talk about." After finishing his mind, Huang Donglai remained calm on the surface and continued, "I heard that the prince-in-law died in a cesspool explosion?"

When he mentioned this, Linghu Xiang next to him became nervous, because the content of Huang Donglai's words was a bit too specific and unlikely to be known by outsiders.

"Wait a minute..." Han Yu saw the opportunity and started to attack, "How could Young Master Huang know how Xuan Sheng died?"

"Ha! This matter is being spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital. Doesn't Mr. Han know?" But Huang Donglai not only answered fluently, but also asked a question in return.

Is this really spreading outside?

not at all.

But there can be.

As long as Huang Donglai is willing, his lie can become reality tomorrow, and the source of this rumor is difficult to trace.

You, Han Yu, insist that it was me who passed it on. If you provide evidence, how can you be sure that it was not passed on by someone from the Bingma Division? If this entanglement continues, it will involve Han Yu colluding with people from the Military and Horse Division to confess and seal the secret.

"Oh..." Han Yu quickly appreciated the cleverness of Huang Donglai's response. He also secretly glanced at the other party in his heart, and then said, "I see... Han doesn't go out much, so he asked rudely." , Huang Shaoxia heard it right, Xuansheng... did die 'like'."

"Harm, isn't the cause of his death already obvious?" Huang Donglai then said a word that Han Yu had never heard before, "It must have been an accident caused by the methane explosion."

"Biogas explosion?" Han Yu repeated these four words, showing confusion on his face.

"You don't understand? I'll demonstrate it to you and you'll understand." Huang Donglai answered.

Linghu Xiang was stunned when he saw this, and thought to himself, Brother Huang, what are you going to do? Did you come to dinner with a bomb? Are you going to raise the cesspit of the Young Master's Mansion too? Isn't this a disguised confession of guilt?

I have to say that with this idea, he still overestimated the lower limit of dual harmony.

The next second, Huang Donglai stood up, lifted a lantern cover from the shelf next to him, and took a lit candle from it.

"Master Han, have you seen this candle?" Huang Donglai took it in his hand and looked at Han Yu and asked.

Han Yu didn't think much and just nodded.

At this time, he didn't know the seriousness of the matter.

"Take a look." After receiving the other party's answer, Huang Donglai suddenly bent down, moved the candle to the middle and lower part of his body, assumed a posture like a football kickoff, and rushed forward with a "peng". The candle farted hugely.

This fart, which had been strengthened by internal force, had little impact, but was extremely concentrated and spread extremely quickly. It instantly caused the flames of the candle to explode into a large ball of fire that soared into the sky.

The fireball flashed away, and the explosion was extinguished in an instant. Only the aftertaste left in the room seemed to remind everyone that this scene was not an illusion.

After a breath, not to mention Han Yu, the attendants and servants serving food and wine, including Linghu Xiang... were all stunned on the spot, dumbfounded.

"Do you understand? This is called a methane explosion." After Huang Donglai finished this, he sat down again and said to the dumbfounded Han Yu, "It must be that the cesspit of Bingma Division has not been dug out for too long, and there is too much methane." , and then the prince-in-law squatted in a pit in the middle of the night and accidentally dropped the open flame in the lantern, and it exploded. Isn’t it reasonable? "

When Huang Donglai fabricated these pseudo-science sentences, Mr. Han, whose eyes were as wide as bells, slowly recovered from the suffocating scene just now.

"Uh...ah..." Han Yu didn't know what to say. To a certain extent, he was indeed convinced.

As the saying goes, what you hear is false, but what you see is true.

Some theories may not be understood by others if you explain them very accurately and in detail, but if you perform a fun little experiment, even if your theory is specious, you may still be able to fool them.

At this moment, Han Yu really felt that this so-called "methane explosion" phenomenon might be the truth.

"It's...reasonable, reasonable." So he could only answer like this.

At this moment, when the atmosphere and smell of the banquet hall were getting anxious...

Han Xiaoqi, the housekeeper of the Han Mansion, rushed in panting all the way: "It's not good - Master! Something big has happened!"

When Han Yu heard this, he remembered that, by the way, his "strategy" was still halfway through.

So he immediately frowned, turned away, and said to the butler: "You bastard! What are you yelling about in front of the distinguished guests? Why are you so alarmed?"

"Haah...haah..." The housekeeper was also caught up in the drama. He first pretended to be anxious, took a few breaths, and then spoke intermittently, "Sun...Sun Shaoxia...he...followed me not far. Suddenly he ran away without authorization and broke into the Mingyu Hall!"

Originally, the housekeeper's drama was well designed, but because he didn't know what happened here before he ran over, after a big unsuspecting breath, he still insisted on telling the second half. He said a line, but his face turned green.

"Ah? What!" Han Yu had already gotten used to the smell anyway, and he continued to act when he was supposed to do it. He stood up with his mouth swollen enough to express three tunes, for fear that Huang Donglai and Linghu Xiang on the side wouldn't be able to hear it. Noting the seriousness of this matter, "Is this serious?"

"It's absolutely true!" the housekeeper also insisted, speaking to the master, "I saw him break in with my own eyes. The two servants guarding the door tried to stop him, but they were knocked to the ground by him. ! Now all the people in the mansion have gone there, sir, please go and have a look!"

"Hiss--" Han Yu stood there and chewed his teeth, looking extremely embarrassed. After acting like this for a few seconds, he turned his head slightly and looked at Huang Donglai and Linghuxiang, "You two Young hero...this matter is not trivial. I am afraid that there may be some misunderstanding in it. According to Han, it would be good for you to come and bear witness."

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Huang Donglai took a look and found out, it seems that today's Hongmen Banquet even skips the step of eating. We fast guys haven't even moved yet and have already advanced to the step of "Xiangzhuang Sword Dance".

Then just go, everyone has "arranged" it, at least let's see what this old fox can sing.

In this way, he and Linghu Xiang exchanged glances and agreed to Han Yu's request to go together.

The three of them didn't hesitate anymore and walked forward quickly. After a minute or two, they were led by the housekeeper to the door of a study. There was a plaque hanging on the main door of the small building. On the plaque were the three words "Mingyu Hall" .

"Master Han, this place is..." Huang Donglai was also very cooperative and gave Han Yu a message when he arrived at the door.

"Oh, this 'Ming Yu Hall'... is a forbidden place in my young master's house. It contains many confidential documents and files that I have had in my hands. These documents involve all aspects of the government of my country." Han Yu said After a pause here, he added, "On weekdays, no one is allowed to enter without permission except me. Even when servants go in to clean, I must personally supervise it."

Hearing this, Linghuxiang broke into a cold sweat, because he had already heard that the man named Han was trying to frame Brother Sun for stealing state secrets. Even though Linghuxiang didn't know much about the law of Dazu, he could guess it Everyone knows that this crime is a capital offense.

Therefore, the next second, Linghuxiang glanced at Huang Donglai nervously, wanting to see if Brother Huang had any countermeasures in the face of this frame-up.

Unexpectedly, when he looked over, he saw that Huang Donglai not only had a relaxed expression on his face, but even seemed to be holding back a smile.

"What's going on?" Linghu Xiang was shocked, "Why is Brother Huang so calm? Could it be that he and Brother Sun always say they want to kill each other, but are they really sincere?"

But then he thought about it, it shouldn't be like this, there must be other reasons for Huang Donglai's calmness.

Then Linghuxiang thought about it and remembered...

"That's right!" At this moment, Linghu Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief, and his face almost stopped tightening, "Brother Sun seems to be illiterate!"

"You two, come with me." On the other side, Han Yu finished explaining the settings of Mingyu Hall, and then continued to look serious and nervous, trying to lead the two of them into the house.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Han, please." Huang Donglai and Linghuxiang, feeling confident in their hearts, followed.

That's it, it's amazing...

The one who plots against others and the one who is plotted are holding back their laughter and walking side by side.

The three of them stepped into the Mingyu Hall. They just walked around a screen and saw Sun Yixie standing in the middle of the hall, surrounded by a group of "guardians" armed with swords, guns and sticks.

As for Brother Sun's situation, everyone can actually understand it with a few words...

After Sun Yixie said he was going to the toilet, the housekeeper took action under Han Yu's instructions and took Brother Sun all the way around, through the garden of the mansion, and into the back door of Mingyu Hall.

Then the housekeeper lied to Brother Sun and said, "Keep walking in and you'll find the toilet." After saying that, the housekeeper left and locked the back door from the outside.

Sun Yixie is not stupid either. Can he not see that the other party is lying? Where could there be a toilet built inside a small building like this in those days? If so, he would have felt the stench as soon as he walked in.

However, Brother Sun didn't point it out because he knew very well that it was impossible for Han Yu to do something like "set a trap and kill people directly". The most Mr. Han could do was to engage in some conspiracy... Then what if, the other party wanted to use What about the honey trap? So Brother Sun decided to take advantage of the situation and wait and see further.

It's a pity that as soon as he walked a little further in, he realized that it was not a honey trap, but the "Lin Chong Presents the Sword" approach.

The "guarding guards" who had followed Master Han's orders and laid an ambush in the dark in advance saw Sun Yixie walking into the encirclement, and immediately picked up the weapons they had prepared and surrounded him.

Of course, they only surrounded but did not attack.

Because Han Yu said that the target must be kept alive. If the other party dies...it means that the other party was killed by a group of people at his place without third-party evidence. This is a death without evidence, but it is detrimental to him.

In his opinion, the best result of Han Yu's strategy is: when Sun Yixie was wrongly accused and besieged, he became anxious at that time, and then took action himself, killing and wounding a large number of young masters in Mingyu Hall. Nursing home... This is the most like "being caught stealing state secrets and revealing himself".

However, Sun Yixie was not fooled.

Although Brother Sun was not a person who liked to read in the past world, he had still seen the film and television works related to "Water Margin", such as "Leopard Head Stumbled into the White Tiger Hall", "Pan Jinlian Drunk in the Grape Stand", " "Pan Jinlian orchid soup invites a noon battle", "Pan Jinlian plays pipa on a snowy night"... He is very familiar with them all.

Therefore, when Brother Sun glanced around and found that the place was full of bookshelves, and the ambush soldiers rushing out from all around were only surrounding him, he quickly guessed Han Yu's intention. Can he still take action?

Not only did he not take action, he didn't even say a word, so as not to give others a thumbs up.

Until Han Yu came in with Huang Donglai and Linghuxiang, the housekeeper falsely accused him again on the spot. Two servants at the door with bruises and swollen faces who had been "knocked over by him" also came in to "testify". After accusing him, Sun Yi Xie then smiled and said, "Humph... Mr. Han, what do you want to do now?"

Seeing his expression, Han Yu said to himself: "You are just relying on the gold medal granted by the emperor. You think this can't cure your crime, right? Hehe... let's just wait and see."

Thinking of this, Han Yu bowed his hands and raised his head to the sky at a forty-five degree angle: "Since Sun Shaoxia has this attitude, Han can only report today's matter to the Holy One and ask him to make a decision." As he said, he He also turned to look at Huang Donglai and Linghuxiang, "Young Master Huang, Young Master Linghu, if you have a clear conscience, you shouldn't mind confronting Han in front of the emperor, right?"
