Chapter 401: The Drunkard's Intention Is Not in Wine (4)
Jingzhao Yin Yamen, when Zhang Shumo and his party arrived, Fan Yao and Gao Yan were already sitting in the lobby, and there was a young man dressed as a scholar kneeling under the hall.
Zhang Gui recognized the young man as soon as he saw him, this person was the scholar who led the day he stole clothes. So Zhang Gui hurriedly whispered to Zhang Shumo, Zhang Shumo nodded after hearing this, and his heart was even more uneasy.
At this time, Fan Yao did not open a court to try the case, but let all the idle people retreat, leaving only Fan Yao, Gao Yan, Zhang Shumo and scholars.
This time Zhang Shumo was even more nervous, he looked at Fan Yao and Gao Yan's expressions, both of them looked very solemn!
When everyone cleared the scene, Fan Yao suddenly slapped at the startling wood, startling Zhang Shumo. Then Fan Yao asked Zhang Shumo sharply: "Zhang Shumo, this picture asks you, did Miao Feng commit perjury for you?" ”
Zhang Shumo took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and sweated in his palms. Zhang Shumo understands that if he admits it, then he will also be burdened by His Royal Highness, so he must grit his teeth and resist it!
So Zhang Shumo arched his hand towards Fan Yao: "Back to Prime Minister, how do you know if Miao Feng's words are true or false?" But in the following can be guaranteed that everything in the following is true! ”
Fan Yao smiled: "That's right, if you don't have an intersection with His Highness, how will you know if Miao Feng is lying?" But you know if Miao Feng is lying, what does this mean? ”
Zhang Shumo was stunned for a moment, looked at Gao Yan, and felt uneasy: How did Fan Yao know that Miao Feng was lying? Could it be that Gao Yan told him? If Gao Yan had already told His Highness about his perjury, then no matter how much he quibbled, it would be in vain.
"Why don't you speak?" Fan Yao continued to ask.
Zhang Shumo clenched his fists, and his heart became entangled, do you want to tell the truth? If Gao Yan had already said it, and he was still quibbling in every possible way, Fan Yao would definitely misunderstand what was between himself and His Highness. But if Fan Yao was just deceiving himself, he would admit it so easily, and he would also harm His Highness.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo gritted his teeth, suddenly showed a weird smile, and asked Fan Yao rhetorically: "Since the prime minister has already made a conclusion in his heart, why do you still ask me?" ”
Fan Yao heard Zhang Shumo's question and snorted coldly: "The answer is not what you asked, why don't you dare to answer the question of your true appearance?" ”
Zhang Shumo plucked out his ears: "Didn't Fan Xiang say everything, I know if Miao Feng is lying, what else does Fan Xiang want to say?" ”
"Tell me how you deceived Your Highness and let him be used by you!" After speaking, Fan Yao stared at Zhang Shumo's eyes.
Zhang Shumo didn't flicker much, looked at Fan Yao's eyes and said, "I haven't deceived His Highness, how can I take advantage of it!" ”
Fan Yao took a breath, and then said slowly: "So, you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" Speaking of this, Fan Yao suddenly pointed to the scholar kneeling in the hall: "You! Tell me everything you know! ”
"Prime Minister Qiqi, a few days ago, the villain, Zhao Da and Niu Er were hired to go to the post house to make trouble, but it didn't take long for Zhao Da and Niu Er to be arrested, and the middleman who hired us all died tragically, and the little one was really afraid, so he came to the yamen to surrender!"
"I ask you, do you know who hired you?" Fan Yao asked the scholar.
The scholar said tremblingly: "A few days ago, Xiao drank with the middleman, and the middleman revealed some information after he was drunk, and the person seems to be called Miao Feng, and it is said that the identity is not simple. ”
Speaking of this, Fan Yao looked at Zhang Shumo: "Zhang Shumo, what do you explain?" ”
This time, Zhang Shumo was confused, and looked at the scholar in front of him a little confused: Is this scholar's words true? If what the scholar said is true, then it means that the thief was hired by His Royal Highness, then it is likely to be the arson case of the prison planned by His Royal Highness, and his purpose should be very clear, that is, to frame His Royal Highness. But what is good is that His Royal Highness just asked Miao Feng to prove to himself, if he said that he had nothing to do with His Highness, I am afraid that Fan Yao and Gao Yan would not believe it!
Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo planned to simply pretend that he didn't know, so that Fan Yao couldn't do anything about himself without evidence!
So, Zhang Shumo said to Fan Yao: "Prime Minister, what does Miao Feng have to do with me hiring people to make trouble in the post house?" You have to ask Miao Feng to go! ”
Fan Yao smiled slightly: "Okay, I will naturally go back and ask Miao Feng about this matter, but if this scholar's words are true, then it proves that Miao Feng's words are not credible, which means that Zhang Gongzi still has not been able to clear the suspicion of arson!" ”
Zhang Shumo nodded: "That's right!" But I'm still saying it before, and I'm not telling the slightest lie. As for whether Miao Feng lied or whether this scholar lied, this needs to be judged by Fan Xiang! ”
Fan Yao also nodded: "That's right, but you said one less option, and it is possible that you lied!" ”
Zhang Shumo thought for a moment, then pointed to the scholar who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Fan Xiang, General, please think about it, among the three people, Xia, this person and Miao Feng, whose words are the most untenable." This person said that the middleman revealed the information to him after he was drunk, so is the nonsense of the middleman drunk credible? And Miao Feng is His Royal Highness's personal guard, so he is not so stupid as to leave his name when he does things, right? ”
When Gao Yan heard this, he immediately nodded, looked at Fan Yao and said, "It seems to make some sense." ”
Fan Yao shook his head: "Saying this can't clear your suspicion, if you don't admit it now, then you have to be wronged and the son will continue to stay in the post house." ”
After speaking, Fan Yao immediately shouted loudly outside: "Come on, send Zhang Gongzi and all the people from the Huaiguo Mission back to the post house, no one is allowed to enter or leave the post house without my order!" ”
Back in the post house, Zhang Shumo and his party immediately gathered together. Zhang Shumo said what happened in the hall, and everyone couldn't help frowning after hearing it.
"This is endless, why do people keep trying to harm the son! I don't know what the purpose of the people behind the scenes is! Cai Xun couldn't help but say.
Zhang Shumo sighed helplessly: "I'm not sure now, Mr. Chen, did you say that the arson case was planned by His Royal Highness?" In order to frame the Second Highness, so as to defeat the competitor of the Second Highness! ”
Chen Lin thought for a long time, then shook his head: "It's hard to say!" Maybe Gongsun Luo saw that Gongsun Zhi planned the assassination case, but he was not affected in any way, so he took a risk. But this is also a big risk for Gongsun Luo, didn't Gongzi say that Gongsun Luo has a master behind him? If there is really a master, then Gongsun Luo should not choose to take such a big risk to frame Gongsun Zhi! ”
