Waiting for Fan Yao to leave, Gongsun Zhi stood in place and watched his departing back for a long time without coming back to his senses.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind Gongsun Zhi, and he hugged his fist at Gongsun Zhi and said, "Your Highness, you can't let Fan Yao kill Xu Xuan, otherwise the master will definitely bring someone to kill Daijing!" ”

"You're threatening me?" Gongsun Zhi suddenly looked back and glared at the man in black.

The man in black hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "I don't dare, but if Your Highness abandons Xu Xuan, then you can only advocate to save people, and when the time comes, your Highness's identity will be exposed, please don't blame Your Highness!" ”

Gongsun Zhi clenched his fists: "Don't worry, I will definitely save Xu Xuan and give you Zheng Guo an explanation!" ”

After Fan Yao left Gongsun Zhi's palace, he went directly to Gongsun Zhi's dormitory and reported the results of the investigation of the assassination.

"Your Majesty, the assassination of the post house has already found out some eyebrows, and I have come to report to Your Majesty."

When Gongsun chose to hear this, he immediately waved his hand and asked the idle people to retreat, and then asked, "What did the old man do?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the minister's investigation, it was His Royal Highness who did it!"

"What did the second do? Is there any evidence? ”

Fan Yao shook his head: "Not yet, but it can be confirmed by the next step." ”

"No evidence? So how can you be sure that the second child did it? Gongsun Ze asked in confusion.

Fan Yao sorted out his thoughts, and then explained: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister used Zhang Shumo to test the Second Highness, and found that the Second Highness had obvious abnormalities through the temptation. ”

"Oh? Let's take it into detail! ”

"Last time at the Yamen, Zhang Shumo had already indicated that he had a set of inferences, but His Royal Highness ignored it and announced his retirement. So the minister asked Miss Gao to inquire about Zhang Shumo's inference, and then revealed the news to His Royal Highness. If the Second Highness was the mastermind behind the scenes, he would definitely be worried that Zhang Shumo would find out some evidence against him, so the minister used this to test the Second Highness. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Yao paused and continued: "The minister told the Second Highness that the person Zhang Shumo suspected was His Highness, and then observed the reaction of the Second Highness. Who knew that the Second Highness not only exonerated His Royal Highness, but also pointed the finger at the Qi Palace, which shows that the Second Highness has a problem. ”

Gongsun Xue frowned: "What?" Can't the second child speak for the boss? ”

Fan Yao hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the Second Highness and the Great Highness are competing for the position of the crown prince, and they have long been in harmony. If this matter was not done by His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness would naturally spare no effort to exonerate His Highness when he heard that Zhang Shumo suspected His Highness, how could he help His Highness exonerate? ”

Although Gongsun Xue also thought of this, he still hoped that his two sons could get along in harmony after all. So he couldn't help but sigh: "I also understand this, but why did the second child point the finger at the Qi Palace?" ”

Fan Yao hurriedly said: "This is exactly what the minister is going to say next!" ”

"Speak!"

"At that time, there were a total of seven assassins in the post house, five of whom caused chaos at the gate of the post house, and two assassinated Zhang Shumo in the inner courtyard. At that time, the five people at the gate were arrested and committed suicide directly by taking poison, and through investigation, these five people are all from my Yan country, so they must die. Among the remaining two people who escaped, if one was Xu Xuan, then the other person was at large. If Chen guessed correctly, this impunity assassin must be from Zheng Guo like Xu Xuan! ”

Gongsun Xue narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that Fan Xiang thinks that this person is still in the Qi Palace?" ”

"Quite possibly! Regardless of where the assassin was hiding, one thing was certain: he and Xu Xuan must be accomplices, otherwise Xu Xuan would not have taken him with him. Since this person is an accomplice to Xu Xuan, then we can lure him out through Xu Xuan! Fan Yao said.

"How is it a seduction?"

Fan Yao smiled slightly: "As long as Your Majesty orders the execution of Xu Xuan, I think that the assassin will be in a hurry." The assassin will definitely try his best to rescue Xu Xuan, as long as we deliberately expose the flaws and let the other party come to save people, the other party will naturally take the bait! ”

Gongsun Xue pondered for a long time after listening to it, and then asked Fan Yao: "If the other party is not tempted, do we really want to kill Xu Xuan?" After all, he is from Zheng Guo, and after killing him, he will break with Zheng Guo. ”

"Your Majesty, Zheng Guo's heart of a tiger and wolf, if Yan Guo wants to grow stronger, sooner or later there will be a battle with it. As long as His Majesty decides to support Huaiguo, the relationship with Zheng Guo will be irreparable! ”

Gongsun Xue sighed: "Fan Xiang, you have already thought of this plan, right?" I know that you have ambitions and want to rule the world for me, so you will force me to break with Zheng Guo step by step, right? ”

When Fan Yao heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister is for the good of Dayan!" ”

"I know! Otherwise, you won't be able to do your thing! Well, it's up to you! Gongsun Xue sighed again after speaking.

Fan Yao got up and slowly wanted to retreat, but then Gongsun Xue stopped him again.

"Fan Xiang, I don't know something. Why did you have to let Ning Er go to Zhang Shumo to find out the news in your plan this time? ”

Fan Yao hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is worried that Zhang Shumo will use the minister's mouth to be unfavorable to a certain His Royal Highness, so he will choose Miss Gao to investigate." Why did Your Majesty ask about this? Could it be related to rumors? ”

As soon as the rumors in the room were mentioned, Gongsun Xue couldn't help but slap the table fiercely: "It's been spread all over the world, Ning'er and Rong'er are drunk and sleeping together in Zhang Shumo's room, where does this make the face of the royal family go?" How can a princess take the initiative to have a private meeting with her ministers who don't know the general situation? What's even more infuriating is the two of them! ”

"Your Majesty is angry, the general has already gone to deal with this matter, and I believe it won't be long before anyone dares to mention this rumor."

"Huh? Fan Xiang, how could you be so confused? Isn't that a way to admit to the world that it's true? Gongsun Ze asked with wide eyes.

Fan Yao hurriedly explained: "The minister asked the general, this matter is indeed true, and the people in the entire post house knew about it at that time, so this matter will be spread." If left unchecked, this matter will only widen, and whether it is true or not, everyone will believe it! ”

Gongsun chose to be angry when he heard it, and now this rumor is not, no matter whether it is or not, it seems that Rong'er's reputation will be affected somewhat!

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xue couldn't help but say: "Although this Zhang Shumo is also a talent, but my Dayan is also full of talents, I don't know why these two girls have taken a fancy to him!" ”

When Fan Yao heard this, he also chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Did Princess Rong admit it herself?" ”。

Gongsun Xue sighed and nodded.

Fan Yao frowned: "If Miss Gao likes Zhang Shumo because she has been in love for a long time on the way to escort, then Princess Rong has not had much contact with Zhang Shumo, how can she easily like him?" Didn't Zhang Shumo do it on purpose? ”
