Zhang Shumo left the palace and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Fan Yao was a little puzzled when he learned that Zhang Shumo asked to see him, but he still met Zhang Shumo in the study.

"I don't know what happened when Zhang Gongzi suddenly visited?" Fan Yao asked.

Zhang Shumo immediately lowered his voice and asked Fan Yao: "Fan Xiang, there is something important to report here, and I also ask Fan Xiang to ensure that no second person will know what he said today!" ”

Fan Yao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything you can't say openly?" If you have to be so sneaky, the old man is afraid that someone will misunderstand you and me! ”

Zhang Shumo took a deep breath and explained to Fan Yao: "Because there is no evidence for what I said next, it was all my conjecture. In order not to misunderstand that I am framing a high-ranking official of your country, I can only make this decision. ”

When Fan Yao heard this, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what kind of moth is this chapter going to play? As soon as the last incident was over, he came to him again, and it was hard not to doubt it!

"I know Fan Xiang is starting to doubt me now. To be honest, at first I wanted to discuss with the general, but the general didn't have such a cautious attitude as Fan Xiang, so I came to Fan Xiang. ”

Fan Yao scratched his eyebrows: "Since you know that I will be suspicious, do you think you told me, will I believe it?" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "I believe in Fan Xiang's judgment, after I say it, Fan Xiang can decide for himself!" ”

"Okay, then tell me what you thought of this time!"

With Fan Yao's approval, Zhang Shumo immediately asked, "Fan Xiang thinks that apart from the two highnesses, who else wants to kill him?" ”

Fan Yao frowned: "It's not easy to say, maybe the people of the main battle faction want your life!" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded and continued to ask, "Then among these people who want to kill me, who can dispatch Gongzi's eunuch?" ”

Fan Yao squinted his eyes after listening, the people who can dispatch eunuchs are basically people in the palace, even if they are not people in the palace, they must be important ministers in the court, and those eunuchs will be willing to obey orders, isn't Zhang Shumo talking about the two highnesses this time, which minister are you going to say?

Seeing Fan Yao's doubts, Zhang Shumo no longer went around in circles, but said directly: "Fan Xiang still remembers that when he entered the palace for the first time, he strayed into Princess Rong's palace, right?" ”

Fan Yao nodded: "The old man remembered that a little eunuch died that day, and later His Majesty was furious and handed over the matter to His Highness for investigation." ”

"That's right! That day, in order to protect her, Princess Rong said that she invited her. Actually, no, that day was brought over by the little eunuch, which means that someone wanted to use the little eunuch to frame him! Zhang Shumo said.

Fan Yao snorted coldly: "The old man guessed at that time, isn't it Zhang Gongzi who is now finding out who is framing Gongzi?" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head and continued: "His Royal Highness told me some time ago that the eunuch died under the fast sword, and the person from the Zheng Guo Thunder Sword Gate is the famous fast sword in the rivers and lakes, so His Highness thinks that the person who killed the little eunuch is Xu Xuan's companion!" ”

Fan Yao took a deep breath: "The old man has heard about this matter, so Zhang Gongzi thinks that the person who wants to frame Gongzi is the Second Highness?" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head again: "Last time, His Highness caught an assassin in the palace in the escort team of His Second Highness, and that assassin was Xu Xuan's companion!" According to the assassin's account, His Royal Highness did not plan this matter! In other words, it is not the Second Highness who is framed. ”

"Do you doubt Your Highness?" Fan Yao asked in surprise, but he regretted it, according to the conversation just now, Zhang Shumo obviously excluded the two highnesses.

Zhang Shumo immediately said: "If His Highness did it, he would naturally blame His Highness for this matter, but he didn't do that!" And some time ago, His Royal Highness also took the initiative to explain the matter to him, and asked him to be careful with others, indicating that he was not the person behind this matter! ”

Fan Yao nodded: "The old man understands, but since the son came to find the old man, does the son already have an object of suspicion in his heart?" ”

What Fan Yao didn't expect was that Zhang Shumo shook his head again: "There is no object of suspicion in Xia for the time being, but I thought of a terrible thing in Xia!" ”

Fan Yao squinted at Zhang Shumo: "Let's talk about it!" ”

Zhang Shumo took a deep breath, took a good look at his thoughts, and then continued: "After being brought into Princess Rong's room by the little eunuch that day, the little eunuch in the blink of an eye shouted that there was an assassin, and after a while, Chu Lie arrived with the guards, and then he was about to enter the princess's room to search! ”

Fan Yao's eyes rolled after hearing this: "Do you suspect that Chu Lie was bought?" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "That's right!" Chu Lie, as the commander of the palace guards, why didn't he stay with His Majesty, but went to Princess Rong? And the little eunuch arrived after shouting him, unless he was around, how could he be so fast? ”

Fan Yao pouted and thought for a while, and then said to Zhang Shumo: "Chu Lie passed by Princess Rong's palace on business that day, this matter has been investigated by the old man, it is a business trip handed over to Chu Lie by His Majesty, it can't be Chu Lie colluding with others!" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Shumo showed a confident smile: "I didn't suspect Chu Lie in Xia, I also guessed this in Xia!" If someone can collude with Chu Lie, wouldn't Your Majesty already be in danger? And the person who planned this matter does not need to collude with Chu Lie, he just needs to know when Chu Lie passed by Princess Rong's palace, and then he can do it! ”

Fan Yao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard this, the person who could know Chu Lie's whereabouts must be someone from His Majesty's side, if this person was just a main battle faction and simply wanted to kill Zhang Shumo, it was okay, if this person was plotting against him, wouldn't His Majesty's safety be threatened?

Zhang Shumo saw that Fan Yao understood his worries, so he continued: "Not only is the person who planned this matter not simple, but the assassin who killed the little eunuch is also not simple! From the little eunuch's shouting to Chu Lie's arrival, it was only a few breaths, and it was very difficult for the assassin to complete the killing and escape within a few breaths. At that time, Chu Lie was around the palace, and if the assassin directly climbed over the wall after killing someone, he would inevitably be discovered, but he didn't, what does this mean? ”

Fan Yao squinted his eyes, but he didn't know what Zhang Shumo was going to say, so he had to ask in surprise, "What does it mean?" ”。

"It means that the assassins did not run away at all! Maybe he turned out of Princess Rong's palace, but he didn't run away, but swaggered away in the palace, otherwise it would be impossible for the guards who came from other places not to even find a suspicious person! After Zhang Shumo finished speaking, he looked at Fan Yao.

Fan Yao sighed in his heart after hearing this, and cold sweat broke out from behind his back. That's right, the assassin must be a man of the palace. If it was an agile assassin like Xu Fei, it would be impossible for him to return to the palace of the princess calmly without knowing it! So there is only one possibility, that person is originally a person in the palace, so after he kills someone, he can leave with a swagger!
