Ma Jun appeared to be full of confidence, and what he said was, "Even if a new year came, I can still rely on the water stored in the reservoir to survive!" This is the reason why I am the most interested in seeing Ma Jun do whatever he wants!

After everyone heard Ma Jun's words, they all looked towards Ma Jun. They all felt that what Ma Jun said was very reasonable. However, the witch said: "Everyone, don't listen to Ma Jun's flowery words! He's the one who will use flowery words to trick everyone! "

I glared at the witch and laughed coldly. "Do you know that Ma Jun is from the government? How dare you capture Ma Jun without permission? Do you have any laws in your eyes when you kidnap officials of the imperial court? Do you guys want to try it out on your own? "

When the witch and the rest heard my question, they were so frightened that their faces turned ashen. The witch and the others kneeled on the ground, not daring to raise their head as they fearfully said, "You know you're guilty!" Conviction! Please be merciful, my lord! "

I said with a smile, "Everyone, please get up! All of you are worried about the imperial government, which is why you want to capture the spies from our army. I thank all of you for being too late, so how can I blame you? However, you must remember, if you have any matters in the future that you cannot decide on, you must report them to the government and let the government handle them! What's more, a person's life was precious. It was up to the government to decide life and death based on the Han law. Do you know? " When the guards heard my words, they went to pick up some of the old men and motioned for the others to get up.

Everyone looked at each other, then said in unison, "Yes! "My Lord!" I said, "All your expenses today will be paid by the government! And everyone here is exempt from a certain amount of tax, in recognition of your support for the authorities! " When everyone heard this, they cheered loudly.

I said to Ma Jun: "Ma Jun, do you know your crimes?" Just as I finished speaking, Ma Jun answered resolutely, "I have no crime!" When I heard Ma Jun's words, I was obviously very happy. I couldn't help but lightly nod my head, and said: "Ma Jun, you're not guilty? It's truly not a crime! " Ma Jun said: "I really did not collude with the enemy! I am a man worthy of the heaven and earth, I will not do such a shameless thing as betraying my lord! "

I stretched out my hand to stop Ma Jun from speaking, and turned around to the witch: "You just said that you got a cloth silk when you cut open the fish's abdomen, and said that Prince Long wanted to kill Ma Jun? Where is the cloth? I want to see what Prince Long wrote on the cloth! "

The witch hurriedly took out a piece of cloth from her bosom and said: "Master, the cloth is here! The Prince Long had said that the traitor was Ma Jun, and he had secretly engaged with the xanthopanax. This caused the Prince Long to be extremely unhappy. To this end, he sent the Fish God to deliver the cloth to him. Prince Long, you have to bless the Lord! Your excellency is truly a saint blessed by the gods! "

I said impatiently, "All right! Bring that cloth over here quickly! " When the witch heard me, she didn't dare to hesitate and respectfully handed the cloth to me with both hands. I inspected the cloth on the inside and outside again and again, then deliberately shouted at Ma Jun, "Ma Jun! The evidence is here! What else do you have to say! Do you think it's wrong for me to execute you? What do you have to say before you die! " While I was speaking, I kept shooting Ma Jun meaningful glances, signalling him not to worry.

After everyone heard my order to execute Ma Jun, they could not help but point at him and shout loudly: "Die! Death! Kill him! Kill this spy! " I sighed deeply when I heard the public's words.

Ma Jun waited for the crowd's voices to calm down, and then explained: "Master, how can we rely on just a piece of cloth to easily decide a person's life and death? This silk could have been written by someone else, and then stuffed into the belly of a fish! The reason why Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were successful in their rebellion is because they stuffed the cloth into the fishes' stomachs with the help of the legends of the ghosts and gods! "

As soon as Ma Jun finished speaking, he said to me: "My lord! There were many doubtful points about this matter! My lord, once a person's head is chopped off, there is no way to put it back in place! It would be too late to regret it then! Moreover, Mr. Ma Jun is famous for being a craftsman! He's very useful to us! " He was staring at me anxiously, afraid that I would give the order to execute Ma Jun.

I smiled and winked at him. Then I looked around at the people and said, "I'm listening to you, folks! If there really was someone who did it on purpose, wouldn't it mean that he had mistakenly killed a good person? Zi Hong, let me show you this cloth silk. Do you have any problems with it? " After I finished speaking, I walked over to Zheng Zheng Zheng's side and said softly, "Look carefully, the words on this cloth silk doesn't look like Chen Yu's handwriting right?" Saying that, I handed the cloth over to the right in front of everyone.

After receiving the cloth and carefully examining it for a long time, he said loudly, "My lord! I know who did this! " I asked, "Who is it? "Are you sure?" He replied decisively: "These words were written by Chen Yu! I can use my own head to guarantee that Master will immediately send someone to search Chen Yu's residence. I remember now, he seemed to have suddenly left late last night. Is it really him? "

The two guards at my side said, "You two go to the army camp and bring some people to search Chen Yu's residence. After searching, you must immediately return here to report to me. Do you understand?" The guard cupped his hands and said, "Yes! "My lord!"

We waited patiently for the guard's report. A long time passed. The two guards I sent are back. He was extremely nervous, afraid that the guards would search for Chen Yu and find nothing. If that happened, both his and Ma Jun's lives would be in danger …

A guard came in front of me and said: "Master, when we went to Chen Yu's residence, he had already disappeared, and all the valuables in his residence had been taken away. This subordinate thinks that he might have escaped! From our search in his residence, we found a large pile of cloth silk which said that the Prince Long said Ma Jun was a spy. Not only that, he had also found the letter between Zhang Jiao and himself, there was no doubt that he was colluding with Zhang Jiao! Master, please look! This box is filled with the cloth banner and his correspondence with Zhang Jiao! " The guards opened the box they had brought. The other guard whispers something in my ear, and I nod. When the witch saw this, her face was filled with fear. She appeared to be incomparably guilty, and as she moved back and forth, she could not even keep quiet for a moment.

I pointed to the box and said to the people, "Everyone, go and take a look!" The commoners came to the box and picked up the cloth silk and the letter. The words and content on the cloth silk were exactly the same as the ones on the cloth silk they had seen before! The citizens were shocked.

He then continued, "That Chen Yu was originally a subordinate of Liu Yao. After Master attacked and destroyed Liu Yao, Chen Yu surrendered to us. He definitely couldn't accept it in his heart! This is bad! Then was Zhang Ying an accomplice with him? Zhang Ying was captured by the Establishment! Would he. Also, is Wang Lang's descendant, Zhou Xin, also an accomplice? "

I turned to the two guards I had sent before. "Guards!" Go and capture Zhang Ying and Zhou Xin! Let's capture them first, then we can investigate whether or not they are actually colluding with Chen Yu in the future and make our plans! " "Yes!" The first two guards turned to go on their errands.

I said to the people, "What happened now is already very obvious! Mr. Ma Jun is not guilty! Think about it! Didn't Mr. Ma Jun join you guys in the construction of the water channels and reservoirs! Had he been lazy? Did he ruthlessly force you to work? Was he really acting arrogantly? Or did he get along with you? "

All the people started whispering to each other when I asked them this question. I was waiting for their answer, but the witch's face was bitter and unsightly. After the citizens discussed for a long time, one of them answered first: "Master, Master Ma Jun has indeed never mistreated us, he forced us to work hard. Furthermore, he worked hard with us, he was not the slightest bit lazy! During the time I spent with Master Ma Jun, I came to understand that Master Ma Jun is indeed a good person! " I stared at him and asked, "Is that what you meant?" Are you telling the truth? " The man nodded his head firmly, and then answered me firmly: "What I said is all true! If I lied to the Lord, then let me die a horrible death! "

When I heard this, I smiled and nodded. I pointed to the person who answered me and asked them, "Is what he said true? You must answer with your own conscience! " Everyone replied without hesitation, "He's right! Master Ma Jun is indeed working hard with us! " When the witch saw this scene, her face turned ashen.

I nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, why did you throw such a good person into the river? You guys almost fell for Chen Yu's scheme, and mistakenly killed such a good person! Shouldn't you apologize to Mr. Ma Jun? " After hearing my reminder, everyone immediately apologized to Ma Jun. Ma Jun looked at the crowd with tears in his eyes. Ma Jun was extremely excited as he said, "Everyone, no need to be like this! "There's no need for that!"

The witch's face turned gray, devoid of any color, and she looked terrified. What I saw was a calm and collected sneer on my face, because I was going to deal with this witch later …

Chen Yu was the Wu County Grand Guard. He and Yan Baihu had tried to steal the counties after Sun Ce had sent out his troops. Sun Ce had noticed. He'd been defeated and could only go to Yuan Shao's aid.
