7. Inverting Words
Invert words and reverse affairs, and thereby cross-examine
the suspect. Then you will get at the reality of
culprits. Thus, Shan-yang[8]
purposely slandered Chiu Shu,
Nao Ch`ih fabricated an envoy from Ch`in, the Ch`is wanted
to create disturbances, Tzŭ-chih lied about the white horse,
Tzŭ-ch`an separated the litigants, and Duke Ssŭ purposely
made his men go through the pass of the city.
So much above for the canons.
