"Is it important to discuss this now?"

Seeing Cheng Jinzhi's sudden reaction, Gao Heng's eyes turned slightly, and his face showed a little surprise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Uh... I'm just curious. ”

Cheng Jinzhi hurriedly squeezed out a jerky smile. Although she wanted to know about the letter being manipulated, she didn't want to expose herself to the letter on Gao Heng's desk, so she had to swallow her words and say a very lame reason.

But when she thought about it, the letter was clearly written to her by Gu Hanqing, Gao Heng didn't hand over the letter truthfully, the person with a weak heart should be Gao Heng, why is it that now looking forward and backward, the person who trembles has become herself?

"That's not the point, I'll talk about it later. ”

Gao Heng categorically refused, but the expression on his face was a little strange.

Cheng Jinzhi glared at Gao Heng angrily, but now that outsiders were present, she didn't want to put the matter on the table, so as not to tell the truth, so she had to ignore it for the time being.

"If it is as I said just now, then the most likely one is Chen Changqing who set off from the post station. Gao Heng looked at Shen Jun with a serious expression, "Have you found someone else?"

Shen Jun frowned and said: "It's too much of a coincidence, this Chen Changqing has returned to his hometown to visit relatives half a year ago, and he has not returned yet, and we can't find any trace of him at all." ”

"What a coincidence, it must be him. Cheng Jinzhi clasped his palms firmly, "It's been half a year and he hasn't come back, he is either a thief and wants to avoid us, or he has been killed." ”

Gao Heng glanced at Cheng Jinzhi, but did not answer her words, and his face was shrouded in a layer of condensed mist.

"It seems that the man hiding behind him is acting very carefully. As soon as Han Qing came back, he transferred Chen Changqing from the capital, he must have been afraid that as soon as we met, the matter would be exposed. ”

At this time, Shen Jun lowered his voice and said tentatively: "Your Highness, you said... Could this person be..."

Cheng Jinzhi saw that Shen Jun didn't dare to say it directly, so he didn't hesitate to say: "You want to say, this person is very likely to be the prince, right?"

Shen Jun was stunned for a moment, slightly surprised: "I didn't expect that the princess thought the same way." ”

The answer is indeed imminent. But what I care about is not the prince, but the person who has been behind his back and advises him. Gao Heng pursed his lips, and his eyes gradually became sharp, "I know the eldest brother, he has always been arrogant, not a cautious and thoughtful person. But over the years, even though I have been criticized by my father for my virtue and mistakes, although there are small mistakes, every time there is a big event, I can finally turn the danger into a disaster and stay out of the matter, which really impresses me. ”

"Except for Empress Zhao, who lives in the harem, there are not a few ministers in the court who are good friends with the prince, if you say that you are close to the prince..."Shen Jun pondered carefully, and suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Could it be the Marquis of Zhao?" Although he has ignored the government and the wild crane on the surface, he has actually been secretly helping each other. Anyway, the crown prince is also his own nephew, can he really do it with a clean breeze on his sleeves and ignore it?"

"Although I don't have much contact with Zhao Houye, I can see that he is in a calm mood and has a leisurely temperament, and he spends most of the year traveling in the mountains and rivers, or strolling at home, and rarely cares about the affairs of the court and politics, and he doesn't seem to be pretending. Gao Heng said with a serious face, "Besides, if it's really as you said, I can't figure out why he deliberately created this illusion, instead of coming forward to assist openly, after all, it is reasonable for an uncle to help his nephew." Unless he does, there is some last resort. ”

Gao Heng's words suddenly choked on the side of his mouth, and his eyes were deep: "Or, we guessed the wrong person at all." ”

"Well, don't guess yet. Since that person has been hiding in the shadows for so long, how can he easily reveal his identity?"

Although Cheng Jinzhi knew very little about the affairs of the court, now that he heard the conversation between Gao Heng and Shen Jun, he also knew a little bit about it, so he said eagerly: "The top priority now is to rescue Han Qing first, since you all suspect that this matter is related to the prince, then most of the people who framed Han Qing are him." ”

"But we don't have any evidence to prove that the prince has anything to do with this case. Gao Heng's expression was solemn, "Only by starting with the people around him, suppressing the prince's right-hand man, prescribing the right medicine, and letting him mess up, can he find a breakthrough to save people." ”

"Then try it. ”

Cheng Jinzhi had an idea, his eyes flashed slightly, and he walked to the bookcase first.

"Can you be sure now that this person is in the civil and military officials or in the palace?"

She took the ruler, flattened the paper, and looked at Gao Heng seriously.

Gao Heng saw that Cheng Jinzhi was serious, and it didn't seem like he was joking, so he replied truthfully: "Hmm." The court is unpredictable, if this person does not have a certain amount of power and means, it is difficult to grasp the overall situation, so he should not be an ordinary person or a strategist. ”

"Well, now you have a list of the most likely and the least likely. Cheng Jinzhi handed the pen to him, and when he saw Gao Heng and Shen Jun looking at him with some surprise, he urged, "Don't think about it, hurry up." ”

Gao Heng glanced at Cheng Jinzhi, took the pen and thought for a moment, and quickly drew up two lists.

Cheng Jinzhi and Shen Jun came up to take a look, and saw that in the most likely list, starting from Zhao Xinzhi, the Marquis of An, there were Empress Zhao, Lin Kang, the general of the right guard, Wei Yan, the secretary of the household department, and Xie Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a total of five people were listed.

In the most unlikely list, starting with Si Cen Feng, the director of the Tu Ling Division, Cui Lingfei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Han Jiao, the secretary of the Military Department, Chen Fu, the general of the Left Guard, and Cheng Yan, the Yasukuni Gong, also listed a total of five people.

"You have already analyzed it just now, so let's rule it out first. ”

Cheng Jinzhi said, and crossed out Zhao Xinzhi's name with a pen.

"What about Empress Zhao?"

Although she is the biological mother of the crown prince and covers the sky in the harem, she is a woman after all, and since ancient times, harem ladies are not allowed to interfere and interfere in court politics.

"General Lin?"

"Most of the military power in the hands of the prince lies in the fact that he has the support of General Lin. But Lin Kang, as a military general, has been fighting outside all the year round, and he can't solve the fire ...... far away."

"That's also excluded. ”

Before Cheng Jinzhi could finish speaking, he conveniently crossed out Lin Kang's name, and did not notice the disgusted expression on Gao Heng's face.

"Hubu Shangshu Wei Yan?"

"This person is timid and afraid, and likes to tend to be inflammatory, and he may be smart, but it is difficult to support the overall situation. Gao Heng groaned slightly, his face sinking like water, "But it is worth mentioning that three years ago, in the disaster relief officer silver robbery case in Pingfu County, Bizhou, my father dismissed Li Ran, the then head of the household department, and at the suggestion of the prince, he helped this Wei Yan to become the head of the household department." I learned from the Slaughter Spirit Division that the robbery of the Criminal Department seems to be related to this case back then, so Li Ran is likely to be framed by the prince and became a scapegoat in vain. ”

"Then it can be more proved that today's incident was done by the prince, and the case of the disaster relief official silver you mentioned is probably also done by him. ”

Cheng Jinzhi crossed Wei Yan's name, knocked on his aching head, and pointed to Xie Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at the end of the list, and said, "Of these most likely people, four have been ruled out by you, and this is the last one." ”

"Although Xie Yun's official position is from the first product, after all, it is only a long part, and his sphere of influence is limited, so it should not be him. ”

"No, it's not. ”

Cheng Jinzhi finished drawing the last name, put down the pen and took a deep breath, and moved his gaze to another list, with a grim expression.

In this way, it really fulfills the saying, the most unlikely, but the most likely. ”
