In the palace of Daijing, everyone withdrew from Gongsun Xue's study, but Gongsun Luo dragged on and refused to leave.

Gongsun Xue looked at it and asked, "What?" Do you have anything else? ”

"Father, didn't you promise your son yesterday that you would let your son search the entire palace? This holy decree? ”

Gongsun chose to be in a bad mood, and when he heard Gongsun Luo's words, he wanted to scold him, but after thinking about it, letting the little eunuch lead Zhang Shumo to Rong'er's palace was also a framing of Zhang Shumo, and this time it was a framing of Zhang Shumo, maybe it was all done by the second child.

So Gongsun Ze came directly to the desk: "I'll make an order, you must find out who is behind the scenes for me, some people get carried away without knocking!" ”

Gongsun Luo was overjoyed, took the holy decree of Gongsun Xuan, and immediately set off to search the palace.

And Fan Yao and Gao Yan, as the hosts of the Yamen fire case, discussed as soon as the two left the palace.

"Fan Xiang, is it really His Royal Highness's work this time?" Gao Yan asked in a low voice.

Fan Yao shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, it stands to reason that His Royal Highness doesn't need to frame Zhang Shumo with such shoddy means." ”

"So where do we start now?"

"Let's go to the yamen first, Zhang Shumo and Deng Fei should be over there."

After Fan Yao finished speaking, he strode towards the carriage, and just after taking two steps, Fan Yao suddenly turned to look at Gao Yan: "The general didn't reveal my plan to test Zhang Shumo, right?" ”

Gao Yan hurriedly shook his head: "Who does Fan Xiang think of me?" How could I reveal such a thing? ”

Fan Yao nodded: "Maybe I'm too worried." After saying that, he got into the carriage.

Gao Yan also hurriedly got into his carriage, and the two cars rushed to Jingzhao Yin Yamen one after the other.

In the backyard of the yamen, many officials and Yan soldiers were cleaning up the ruins, and some people carried out the corpses and displayed them in the courtyard.

Not long after, a servant hurriedly came to report: "My lord, Xu Xuan's body has been found!" ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly followed the official to a corpse, which had been burned beyond recognition, and a steel knife was inserted in his chest.

Deng Fei couldn't help but ask, "How can you be sure of Xu Xuan's corpse at this time?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, this corpse was found at the location of Xu Xuan's cell, and Xu Xuan was locked in it and couldn't escape, so it is basically certain that this is Xu Xuan." Speaking of this, the official lowered his voice and said in Deng Fei's ear: "We have confirmed, the steel knife on the chest of the corpse is the saber of the Huaiguo soldiers, so the subordinates can be sure that this corpse is Xu Xuan." ”

When Deng Fei heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Zhang Shumo and his party: "Zhang Gongzi, look at this knife, but this is your lost saber?" ”

When Zhang Gui heard this, he immediately stepped forward, looked at the steel knife stuck in the chest of the corpse, and then got up and nodded to Zhang Shumo: "Childe, it is indeed our saber." ”

Zhang Shumo narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what did the person who planned this matter do?

Just thinking about it, Fan Yao and Gao Yan also came to the backyard of the yamen, and Deng Fei hurriedly reported the later discoveries to the two.

After listening to this, Fan Yao glanced at Zhang Shumo a few times, and then said, "Come with me to the front yard to discuss this matter!" ”

When he came to the front yard, Zhang Shumo ordered Zhang Gui to recount the incident of someone breaking into the post house yesterday, and then asked Liu Tiantian to tell about meeting the man in black at night.

After hearing this, Fan Yao immediately said to Deng Fei: "Lord Deng, please immediately investigate what caused trouble in the post house yesterday, and you must find out!" I also brought the husband who met Daochang Liu last night to the yamen, and I will interrogate him personally. ”

Deng Fei left immediately after receiving the order, and Zhang Shumo also got up at this time and asked, "Fan Xiang, the general, do you need help with anything?" ”

Fan Yao shook his head: "Originally, I wanted Gongzi to take over Xu Xuan's case, but now that Xu Xuan is also dead, I won't bother Gongzi anymore, and ask Gongzi to take someone back to the post house to rest, I may disturb Gongzi at any time in the past two days!" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "I understand this, after all, such a big thing has happened, if you need to help, it is incumbent on you!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Shumo led the group and left the yamen.

As soon as Zhang Shumo and the others left, Gao Yan asked, "Why don't you let Zhang Shumo help investigate the case?" Fan Xiang began to doubt him? ”

Fan Yao looked at Gao Yan, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "That's right!" This matter is too strange, and Zhang Shumo cannot rule out suspicion. ”

"But if this matter was planned by Zhang Shumo, why did he use Huaiguo's military uniform and saber?" Gao Yan asked puzzled.

Fan Yao narrowed his eyes: "This is the strange thing about this matter!" The first is the timing of the move, this matter does not happen sooner or later, but it happened the night before Xu Xuan handed it over to Zhang Shumo, which is by no means accidental. There are two possibilities, one is that the person who planned this matter did not want Xu Xuan to fall into the hands of Zhang Shumo, but the person who planned this matter did not want Zhang Shumo to be implicated. If it is the first possibility, then it is not Zhang Shumo's doing; If it is the second possibility, it is that Zhang Shumo wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Xu Xuan! ”

Gao Yan couldn't help asking: "But didn't Fan Xiang say that Zhang Shumo has no reason to do it now?" Anyway, His Majesty ordered Xu Xuan to be executed, why did Zhang Shumo take the risk? ”

"So let's make sure that Zhang Shumo knows that I'm testing him! If he already knew about my plan to test him, then he probably thought that we would not kill Xu Xuan, so he would kill Xu Xuan and let our country break with Zheng Guo! Fan Yao said.

Gao Yan was confused after hearing this, so he continued to ask: "Then why did he use Huaiguo's military uniform and sword, did he want to frame himself?" ”

"That's because you can't buy other weapons in Daijing! He can only use his own weapons, so in order to get rid of suspicion, he also let people wear Huaiguo's military uniform to rob people, so that everyone can lower their suspicion of them! Fan Yao analyzed.

Gao Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing this: "This, this is inevitably too cumbersome, right?" ”

Fan Yao sighed: "Zhang Shumo is different from ordinary people, and it is not impossible to use such a method. And there's something more important about him doing so! ”

"What?"

"Let the saint make up his mind to abolish the Second Highness!".

"Huh?" Gao Yan was confused again: "How does this matter involve His Second Highness?" ”

Fan Yao looked at Gao Yan: "Do you remember what I said in the palace?" This happened, according to the available evidence, the most suspicious thing is the person behind Xu Xuan! Either rescue Xu Xuan or kill Xu Xuan, only in this way can the people behind the scenes be the safest. And Your Majesty, you and I both know that the Second Highness is the person behind the scenes, so it is very likely that Zhang Shumo wants to use this to frame the Second Highness! ”
