Qin Hanzhen listened to Zhao Mo say what happened, and his face couldn't help but become entangled.

"This clue is half broken, isn't it?" she couldn't believe it, "How did things happen like this? This Beirong spy leader is so cunning, he actually died like this? Even when he heard that someone was going to nail the coffin, he didn't break the coffin lid and escaped, and he actually died obediently? There was no movement at all!"

Zhao Mo waved his hand: "The family of the dead lady was temporarily detained, and the old lady was replaced with a coffin, temporarily stopped at home, and was not buried." The corpse of the leader of the secret spy and the original coffin were guarded by officers and soldiers. Dali Temple cooperates with the people of the Secret Spy Department to handle the case, and someone will find out how the person got into the coffin and how he was suffocated inside. Presumably, in a few days, there will be results. ”

Qin Hanzhen nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled over a few pieces of white paper, dipped his pen in ink, recorded the main points of several things narrated by Zhao Mo, and then summarized and analyzed them for him one by one.

First of all, the Beirong secret spy tried to deceive Zhao Qi and frame Zhao Mo.

Qin Hanzhen said: "If this trap wants to work, hiding things in your study is just one of the links." I guess the person behind this must first find out that there is such an object in your study, and know how to open it, how to lock it, and be confident that you will not find the letter inside before your birthday. Then the messenger will make sure that someone from the Emperor or the Crown Prince - perhaps themselves - arrives in your study on your birthday, and will open the secret lock of the box and discover the letters inside, and inform the Emperor or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the contents of the letters, so that they may doubt your character. Since His Royal Highness the Emperor or the Crown Prince did not know that you were asking for this box for my birthday, they may have thought that those letters were hidden in such a secret place in your study could not be fake. ”

Zhao Mo nodded when he heard this: "Indeed." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered someone to secretly investigate the people in the East Palace to see who told me about asking His Highness for this box, and how many people know how the secret lock of this box was opened. He paused, "To be honest, I don't really know how the lock is opened. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't remember much, although the person who came up from the box mentioned it, His Royal Highness can't remember it clearly, but the waiter waiting next to him knows. But when I asked for the box, I didn't ask. I thought it would be interesting to go through it with my cousin. ”

Qin Han's heart was slightly sweet, and he glanced at him with a smile, understanding his thoughts. Studying the mystery of this trap is like solving a difficult puzzle, and after solving it, the satisfaction is really beyond words. She and Zhao Mo used to be so pastime in the past, fiddling with the trap box collected by Qin Bai, and it was really carefree and carefree during that time. It's not often that they come across such interesting trap boxes these days, and it's rare to have a new one, so of course they have to have fun. Wouldn't it be too boring to ask the answer directly?

Qin Hanzhen said: "In this way, first of all, the main messenger must know the secret of this box, and also know that it has fallen into your hands, and know that it will be placed in your study by you, anyway, on your birthday, it is in your study." Secondly, he must have the ability to make sure that someone from the Emperor or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes to your study on your birthday, and that he can open your box and see the contents without arousing suspicion - did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mention that he would come to see you in the courtyard on your birthday?"

Zhao Mo thought for a while: "After I moved into the courtyard, I once mentioned to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the appearance of the courtyard, and His Royal Highness was a little interested at the time, saying that he had time to go and wanted to take a look." But my annex was built to escape the heat, and now I will live there, and I will stay in the winter, but I can't see any good scenery. Unless someone persuades His Highness, His Highness will not suddenly come down at this time. ”

Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Zhao Mo knew that because the crown princess had started the New Year, her attitude towards him seemed to be slightly colder, and His Royal Highness the crown prince felt embarrassed about him more than once, and often spoke to appease. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt the need to come down on his birthday and give him a favor, it would be very reasonable.

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips: "This main envoy must have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, or know the people around His Royal Highness the Prince, and have the ability to influence some of His Royal Highness's decisions." Even if it's just a seemingly inconspicuous thing. Also, he would most likely talk about the box before the Prince's Palace. In that case, when His Highness arrives in your study and sees the box, he is likely to be interested and take the initiative to take it and fiddle with it. Or someone accompanied His Highness to come, and then pretended to be curious, and picked up the trap box and fiddled with it. Then the forged letter had a chance to see the light of day. ”

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "My father's study was also stuffed with similar letters, it looks like I conspired with my father to retreat and calculate the position of the emperor's heir." My father originally had that idea, and the people around him didn't hear him mention it on weekdays, if he really wanted to investigate, he couldn't be innocent, and I naturally couldn't get rid of this black cauldron. ”

This is related to the purpose of the messenger of the Lord.

Qin Hanzhen made a clear list of the several conditions he had speculated on the paper, and then continued to write: "What is the purpose of the main envoy making such a big bend and using the Beirong people to deal with you? Although you are very favored, in the clan, you can only be regarded as a junior who is more prominent. The title of the county king is not too high, the bloodline is not too close to the royal family, the father and ancestors are not treated by the emperor, and many things done for the emperor cannot be announced to the outside world, the real power is a little bit, and the manpower is also a little, but it is not the most outstanding in the clan, when it comes to decency and power status, you are probably similar to a few little princes in the Qin Palace, but the Qin Wang family returned to the fief early after the Wanshou Festival, and you can stay in the capital more to accompany you, and it seems that you are more likely to become the royal heir. ”

Qin Hanzhen looked at Zhao Mo: "I think that person wants to prevent you from becoming the heir, why? Does he have a personal vendetta with you and don't want you to go higher, or does he have thoughts about the position of the royal heir, so he takes the opportunity to attack competitors?"

She didn't think that the King of Shanyang was that person, and the Shanyang Palace's Mansion did not have that strength. It's just that considering that Princess Shanyang is the Tu family, and the leader of the Beirong secret spy also died in the Zhuangzi of the old servant of the Tu family, the Shanyang Royal Mansion is a little suspicious. But when it comes to suspicion, the clan that has a relationship with the Tu family is not only the Shanyang Palace, but the prince of Shu is also the grandson of the Tu family. The Zhuangzi who had the accident was the property of the former companion of the princess of Shu. And this kind of industry, usually speaking, is a secret property held by the old servant of Fang Liang for the old master, that is to say, this Zhuangzi is now likely to belong to the prince of Shu. Although the prince of Shu is also a person who has lost power, he is stronger than the king of Shanyang in that he still has a little holy dependent, his children are raised in Cining Palace, and both husband and wife can often enter and leave the palace. And he also has a son, who is not very old, although he is an only son, but it is not impossible for him to have another child. Especially recently, there have been rumors outside that his wife is seriously ill, but he has an affair with Chen Liangdi's sister, and wants to marry Chen's daughter after his wife's death, and he doesn't even care about his children......

Qin Hanzhen said to Zhao Mo: "Normally, if this kind of rumor had no reason, it would have been suppressed a long time ago, but it is still being talked about. Obviously, it is the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess who can do it by marrying the daughter of the Chen family to someone else, and the princess of the King of Shu can still get sicker and sicker with a lot of worries, and she is about to die when she sees it-under normal circumstances, shouldn't she cheer up and try to live as much as possible to protect her two children? Knowing that someone is waiting for her to die so that she can replace her, why is she so cooperative that she really wants to die? The prince of Shu said that he was innocent, and on the other hand, he kept in touch with the daughter of the Chen family, and he didn't even take the displeasure of the queen mother and the emperor to heart, and even caused a conflict between the crown princess and Chen Liangdi - this seems to be the attitude of a child of the clan who has just regained his freedom and needs to tremble and rely on royal mercy to survive?"

Zhao Mo groaned: "Although the prince of Shu acted a little strangely, he had a good grasp of proportion. The crown prince now has some hatred for him, and persuades him to accept a concubine earlier, and don't let the princess think nonsense anymore - well, His Royal Highness has indeed begun to feel that everything is the princess of the world, and the prince of Shu just has pity for the daughter of the Chen family and can't bear her innocent suffering...... As for whether His Highness is a true believer or a false believer, I do not know. Anyway, these days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often detains the prince of Shu in the East Palace, even if he doesn't bring it with him, he will try his best to talk to his subordinate officials in the East Palace, saying that it is to prevent him from going outside the palace to mess around, and he 'happened' to meet Chen's daughter. His Royal Highness seems to have decided that the Chen family has ill intentions, and has taught Chen Liangdi more than once, asking her to admonish her family more. Chen Liangdi was aggrieved and angry, so she turned around and picked the crown princess. It seems that because the crown princess Niangniang is friendly with the princess of Shu, Chen Liangdi feels that the two of them have teamed up to frame her, and the rumors outside are also released by them. ”

This idea is a bit similar to Qin Hanzhen's original speculation. There is no need for the Chen family to ruin the reputation of the clan daughter in this way, just to marry her to a disadvantaged clan as a house or concubine, but the princess of the king of Shu has expressed her worries and sadness in public more than once, which has contributed to the spread of rumors. If Chen Liangdi really didn't get involved in this matter, it would not be surprising that she would feel framed.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but sigh: "The East Palace has been calm for so many years, but after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince improved and gradually took power, it began to make waves, what is this called? The Crown Princess is too calm, and Chen Liangdi is too arrogant." ”

Zhao Mo said: "No matter what the prince of Shu has in mind, as long as he does collude with the Beirong people, he is accused of communicating with foreign countries." At the moment, I don't know how much he has leaked to the Beirong people, and what he has done to help the Beirong people, in case the Beirong side sends a new spy to lurk, even if the three people who escaped die and those who are caught, we can't take it lightly. ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked: "I don't think there should be a new Beirong secret spy, even if there is, it's not in the capital." There were more than 100 original Beirong secret spies, and after they were caught, the leader who escaped actually relied on two subordinates to do so many things. They were originally high-level people, right? As a result, they have done everything now, even the rough work of carving out paths in the mountains, and going to the coffin shop to inquire about the news, they also do it themselves. Doesn't this prove that they have limited manpower? I'm afraid that even the so-called noble man who colluded with them behind them does not have many reliable manpower to call on. ”

This is completely contradictory to the setting that the "nobleman" is powerful and powerful. Why does she think that this person is more and more like the prince of Shu who has lost power?
