"stop!"
In the corner, a shout sounded, and at the same time, an arrow with a sound of breaking through the air knocked the sword in the hands of the officers and soldiers away.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning. Countless soldiers in armor appeared from hiding places, and arrows flashed with cold light.
Diao Quan is like falling into an ice cave.
How could this be? ?
When Lin Bei looked at the familiar faces of the soldiers, he was even more shocked than Diao Quan.
no no! It must all be an illusion!
"Come on, didn't you say you wanted to kill me?" He shouted coldly at the officers and soldiers in front of him.
Several officers and soldiers looked at the countless soldiers and were so frightened that their legs weakened. They dared to take action against Lin Bei.
"Governor Lin, my subordinates are late, please punish me!"
In Lin Bei's dazed sight, Zhou Jinwei was dressed in ordinary people's clothes, holding a weapon on her waist, and walked out of the crowd, looking very heroic.
Lin Bei's eyes were desperate, his legs softened, and he fell to the side.
He didn't fall onto the hard ground as he imagined, but instead fell into a fragrant softness.
Looking up, Lin Bei saw Zhou Jinwei's sweet smile.
A stiff smile appeared on Lin Bei's face, and there were ten thousand grass-mud horses running wildly in his heart.
"General Lin is tired, leave the next thing to me."
Lin Bei nodded subconsciously, feeling that the world in his eyes had become black and white.
hateful! No, he wanted to see who leaked the news about this perfect plan!
Lin Beiqiang braced himself and stood up, scanning everyone in the field with suspicious eyes.
"My lord, are you also an accomplice of the treasonous minister?"
Diao Quan on the side looked at the well-equipped soldiers in Fujiang Tower, and his heart trembled with fear.
However, he gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, and asked sternly.
The people who were watching looked at the soldiers beside them and were so frightened by this sudden turn that they were speechless.
After hearing Diao Quan's question, they all looked in Zhou Jinwei's direction.
"City Lord, whether Governor Lin is a traitor or not, you can't convict him with such a little trick."
Zhou Jinwei faced everyone's questioning looks and said coldly without fear.
"It's you, Diao Quan, who planned to murder Governor Lin. What crime should you be punished for!"
"Nonsense! The evidence of Lin Bei's treason and collaboration with the enemy is right in front of you. Whether it's the Tatars who collaborated with the enemy, or the letters exchanged between the two, sir, there are both witnesses and physical evidence. He intends to confuse right and wrong in front of many people. ?"
Diao Quan also calmed down at this time. After all, there was absolute evidence in the field. Even if Zhou Jinwei told the truth, he could not clear Lin Bei of treason.
Lin Bei woke up with his eyes losing their luster.
yes! The witnesses and physical evidence are here. Even if Zhou Jinwei is here, she can't exonerate herself!
In his eyes, Diao Quan shone brightly, dispelling the despair in his heart.
"Who knows if this Tatar is one of yours? Has anyone witnessed Governor Lin and this Tatar together?"
Zhou Jinwei said.
"Me! I saw General Lin leaving the wing and heading towards... towards..."
Young Master Liang, who had been kneeling aside, suddenly turned pale as he spoke.
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so why are I so sure that Governor Lin left the wing to find the Tatars?"
Zhou Jinwei crossed her arms and sneered.
"But this Tatar said it himself..."
"We will naturally interrogate this Tatar. Do you believe what the Tatar says?"
Mr. Liang's lips trembled and he could no longer say a word.
Diao Quan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stood up anxiously: "Then there are also letters exchanged between Lin Bei and the Tatar! Isn't this irrefutable evidence?"
As soon as this statement came out, the confused people present also said it one after another.
yes! Tatar did have a letter from Lin Bei on him. When the time comes to confirm the handwriting, Lin Bei still can't get away with it.
Lin Bei touched his little heart that was beating wildly and nodded crazily in his heart.
"That's true...but who can prove that you didn't put this letter on this Tatar?"
Zhou Jinwei raised her hand, and the whispers around her suddenly disappeared.
Diao Quan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. What Zhou Jinwei said was indeed tricky, but they had Bian Long.
"Sir, Lieutenant General Lin Bei can prove that the letter in Tatar's hand belongs to General Lin Bei."
Diao Quan raised his sleeves, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and pointed at Bian Long beside him.
Lin Bei felt relieved and looked at Bian Long, his second and fifth son, with expectations in his eyes.
"Master Bian Long, are you sure that the letter found on Tatar's body was sent by Governor Lin?"
Zhou Jinwei looked at Bian Long beside her and smiled.
Under Lin Bei and Diao Quan's extremely expectant gazes, Bian Long smiled slightly: "Huh? The letter on Tatar's body does look very much like the mark I left."
"But... I just scratched a mark on the letter with my fingernail. I think we still have to look at the specific content of the letter to determine whether it is a letter sent by General Lin."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the venue.
Lin Bei's eyes widened and he looked at the smiling Bian Long. His heart skipped a beat, and an unknown premonition came to him.
Diao Quan's movement of wiping sweat suddenly froze.
Bian Long raised his hand slightly, and a soldier held the glued letter and respectfully put the letter into his hand.
"The Lord of Linnan City..."
Bian Long opened the weak and moist letter paper, lowered his head and read out the contents of the letter.
When Bian Long finished reading the contents of the letter, there was dead silence in the room.
Diao Quan's legs went weak and he looked at Bian Long who was smiling, his eyes widened and his lips turned pale.
Lin Bei collapsed on the seat again, staring at Bian Long, his eyes blank.
That’s it, that’s it!
The person who leaked the news turned out to be Bian Long, whom he trusted the most!
ah? What Mission: Impossible.
A shocking thunderbolt fell in Lin Bei's mind. His mind went blank for a moment, and he even forgot about the shock.
Bian Long handed the letter to the people, turned around, looked at Lin Bei, whose eyes were dull and expressionless, and he held his hand in admiration.
Sure enough, all this was in General Lin's plan. In Governor Lin's view, this was just an inevitable result.
Bian Long admired him even more. Such a pattern was something he would learn from Governor Lin in the future and throughout his life.
"This, this letter is indeed written to the city lord."
Among the common people, the few literate scholars held the envelope and said in astonishment.
The faces of the people around him changed dramatically, and their expressions were extremely complicated.
"No, it's impossible!"
Diao Quan collapsed on the ground, his lips trembled violently, and he pointed at Diao Quan with a look of disbelief.
Prime Minister Li said that Bian Long was one of theirs, so how could he suddenly turn against him and "clear" Lin Bei's crime now?
He climbed up tremblingly, took the envelope from the scholar's hand, and looked at the words "To the Lord of Linnan City" that were clearly written on it. His vision went dark, and he fainted from excitement.
