"It was Tang Suxin's horse that spooked Yan Zhi's, but Tang Suxin herself was also set up."
Lu Xiaoyou voiced her speculation:
"There were stab wounds on the belly of the horse Tang Suxin rode, inflicted by a sharp instrument. Near the horse's belly were Tang Suxin's boots, which must have been tampered with."
A nail that pierced outward was placed inside the horse's boot. It wasn't visible at first, but as time riding the horse increased, the nail pierced through the boot and into the horse's belly.
At first, the horse only felt pain, and Tang Suxin used her calves to kick the horse. But with this kick, the nail was driven deeper into the horse's belly.
The horse screamed, and Tang Suxin, frightened, clamped her legs tightly around the horse's belly. Then, the nail inside the boot completely penetrated the horse's belly.
"Who could have set up Tang Suxin?" Yan Zhi asked.
