After Zhang Shumo left the General's Mansion, Gao Yan and his wife were deeply pleased.

"It seems that this chapter of Shumo is still for the sake of my Dayan, and the problem is considered so carefully, Ning Er really didn't see the wrong person!" Gongsun Ningyan said happily.

Gao Yan nodded: "This kid is quite sensible, he knows that he has discussed with me in advance, and I don't know what the hell Fan Yao is doing, I will go to meet him for a while tomorrow!" ”

In the early morning of the second day, Fan Yao got up early, and he came to the study to list the recent events one by one.

After a while, Fan Yi came to say goodbye: "Father, the child greets you." ”

Fan Yao nodded and did not reply, but continued to write.

Fan Yi didn't dare to step forward, so he had to ask cautiously, "What is my father writing?" ”

Fan Yao replied without a look: "There have been too many things recently, I will list the things and plan what to do next." ”

"In that case, the child will not disturb his father." After speaking, Fan Yi was about to retreat.

Fan Yao stopped him: "Yi'er, don't go anywhere today, just wait at the door, if I guess correctly, someone should come to visit today!" ”

Fan Yi didn't dare to ask, so he had to agree and retreat respectfully.

Leaving the study, Fan Yi came to the door bored, looking at the deserted street, Fan Yi couldn't help but wonder: "Will anyone come over early in the morning?" Could there be any urgency? ”

Just thinking about it, a carriage came from the far end of the street, Fan Yi couldn't help but exclaim, if he had half of his father's ability, he should be able to mix in the court with ease.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Gao Yan stepped down from the carriage.

Fan Yi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "General, Fan Yi has been waiting for a long time again!" ”

Gao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Your father asked you to wait?" ”

Fan Yi nodded: "Early this morning, my father said that there would be distinguished guests to visit, so let me greet him at the door, and sure enough, he ushered in the general." ”

Gao Yan sighed: "You father, you are really a god!" He guessed it again! Where is Fan Xiang? Take me to him. ”

Fan Yi nodded hurriedly and took Gao Yan to the study.

As soon as he entered the door, Gao Yan asked directly: "I said Fan Xiang, how did you guess that I would come?" ”

Fan Yao stopped at this time, looked up at Gao Yan, and hurriedly greeted him: "I also guessed casually, but I didn't expect to guess correctly, it seems that Zhang Shumo has already told you everything, right?" ”

Gao Yan nodded: "Since Fan Xiang has guessed it, then I have something to say!" ”

When Fan Yao heard this, he raised his hand, signaled Gao Yan to slow down, and then said to Fan Yi: "Yi'er, you go out and guard, don't let people disturb me to talk to the general." ”

Fan Yi hurriedly withdrew to close the door and stayed outside the study.

As soon as Fan Yi left, Fan Yao took the initiative to ask, "What did Zhang Shumo say to the general?" ”

Gao Yan didn't hide it, and told Zhang Shumo's words to Fan Yao as they were.

Fan Yao couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "This Zhang Shumo, if he didn't look for the general, I might believe that he thought so, but he just wanted to tell the general his thoughts, isn't this obviously asking the general to convey his thoughts to me?" ”

Gao Yan asked with a puzzled face, "Is there any problem?" Didn't the prime minister test him? Wouldn't it be nice for him to say what he thinks now? ”

"Too deliberate!" After Fan Yao finished speaking, he came to the desk, picked up what he had written, and handed it to Gao Yan: "General, please take a look." ”

Gao Yan took the paper and looked at it, and all the things that happened after Zhang Shumo came to Daijing were written on the paper.

"What's so nice about that? Do you and I know everything? ”

Fan Yao smiled slightly, and said to Gao Yan: "I tested His Royal Highness yesterday, and the assassination of the post house is almost certainly the work of His Royal Highness. In other words, His Royal Highness secretly colluded with Zheng Guo and wanted to kill Zhang Shumo. I don't know if the general still remembers that when Zhang Shumo first entered Daijing, the general reported in the court, saying that Zhang Shumo's mission was attacked by troops of unknown origin on the border of our country, and the men and horses led by Miss Gao were also blocked by unknown mountain bandits. ”

Gao Yan nodded: "This is indeed the case!" ”

Fan Yao continued: "I investigated last night, when His Royal Highness went out on business, he took a lot of people with him, and one of them separated from His Royal Highness after leaving Daijing and quietly went south, which is why His Royal Highness couldn't return to Beijing on time. ”

"So the person who assassinated Zhang Shumo at that time was a subordinate of His Second Highness?"

"Nine times out of ten, you can't go wrong! The general should have already appreciated Zhang Shumo's ability, right? I think he must have been able to guess that the border interception was also done by His Second Highness, and the Second Highness acted twice in a row, which shows how firm His Highness's determination to kill Zhang Shumo is. If you were Zhang Shumo, would you be willing to let go of His Second Highness? ”

Gao Yan hesitated when he heard this: "This, it's hard to say." If it were me, I would definitely want to get rid of my opponent, but Zhang Shumo should also understand that he is now sending people under the fence, how can he be the enemy of the Second Highness? ”

Fan Yao smiled: "The general is right, Zhang Shumo should want to kill, but he can't kill him." But if he deliberately creates an opportunity for Zhang Shumo, so that he can get rid of His Second Highness without being implicated in any way, do you think he will make a move? ”

Gao Yan immediately stood up when he heard this: "So Fan Xiang has already thought of an idea, this is your real temptation of Zhang Shumo, right?" ”

Fan Yao nodded: "That's right!" The general can take a closer look at what Zhang Shumo did after he came to Daijing, although it was all passive, but from these actions, it may be seen that his consistent strategy. Whether it is a debate, a poetry meeting, a frame-up in the palace, or he took the initiative to arrest Xu Xuan, it can be seen that he takes care of the overall situation and is aggressive. In my opinion, as long as Zhang Shumo is given this opportunity, Zhang Shumo will definitely make a move against His Royal Highness! ”

"What if he doesn't make a move?" Gao Yan immediately asked.

Fan Yao suddenly looked out the window and let out a long breath: "If he didn't make a move against His Second Highness, then it can prove that he is really thinking about my Yan Kingdom, and the general can also marry Miss Gao to him with peace of mind!" ”。

Gao Yan couldn't help but nodded: "Okay!" Please also ask Fan Xiang to tell me in detail about the plan to test Zhang Shumo. ”

Fan Yao paused, and then said slowly: "I have already handed over Xu Xuan to Zhang Shumo for disposal, as long as the news of Xu Xuan's execution is released, His Royal Highness will definitely not be able to sit still." If it were me who hosted this case, His Royal Highness would probably give up Xu Xuan, but if Zhang Shumo hosted this matter, His Royal Highness would probably take a risk, and even make a move to assassinate Zhang Shumo while rescuing Xu Xuan! ”
