Fan Yao and Gao Yanan sat on the yamen, and the two husbands knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to breathe. Fan Yao asked the two, "You bumped into the snitch near the inn last night, have you ever seen the snitch's appearance?" ”

"Back to my lord, the snitch is a young man with Taoist equipment." The husband quickly replied.

"Besides the Taoist priest, have you ever seen anyone else?"

The two husbands shook their heads separately: "If you go back to your lordship, I haven't seen anyone else." ”

When Gao Yan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that it was too dark at that time and you didn't see it clearly?" ”

The two grooms glanced at each other, and one of them quickly replied: "It's possible, there were no stars and moons in the sky yesterday, and with the lantern in our hands alone, if it weren't for the Taoist priest who happened to fall in front of us, we probably wouldn't have found out." ”

Gao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Fan Yao. Fan Yao frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and then said to the two husbands: "Okay, you guys retreat." ”

Waiting for the husband to leave, Fan Yao couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that these two husbands can't get any useful information here, and they have to wait until they find the person who stole the clothes!" ”

Gao Yan hurriedly asked: "Zhang Shumo, the things they took the initiative to explain are basically the same as what the husband said, why doesn't Fan Xiang believe them?" ”

Fan Yao took a deep breath: "From the time the case happened to them, this information was enough overnight, and it was easy to compile a seamless lie with Zhang Shumo's intelligence. Moreover, the military uniform and saber were lost yesterday afternoon, why didn't Zhang Shumo report the case earlier? Instead, wait until the case is reported later? ”

"Is there a difference between reporting a crime early and reporting it later?" Gao Yan couldn't help but ask.

Fan Yao nodded: "Reporting the case afterwards can be based on the accidents that occurred in the actual action to make up lies, if you report the case early, you won't have this opportunity." For example, Zhang Shumo originally just pretended to lose two military uniforms, but in actual action, they lost a saber, and they can report the loss of the saber together if they say it afterwards! ”

Gao Yan scratched his head anxiously: "But isn't all this suspicion based on Zhang Shumo knowing your temptation plan?" If Zhang Shumo doesn't know your tentative plan, then he can clear his suspicion, right? ”

"That's right! But what proof can he be made that he does not know my plan of temptation? Zhang Shumo has a strategist named Chen Lin by his side, who is also said to be proficient in strategy and good at guessing people's hearts. With such helpers, it's not impossible to guess my plan! ”

Gao Yan was slightly resentful when he heard this: "So, in Fan Xiang's opinion, there is a chance that this incident was done by Zhang Shumo?" ”

Fan Yao shook his head: "No, the only breakthrough now is on the group of people who stole clothes and swords, as long as they can be found, this matter can be solved!" ”

When Gao Yan heard this, he immediately got up: "I'll take people to arrest that group of people!" After speaking, Gao Yan strode away from the yamen.

Fan Yao saw Gao Yan leaving, he wanted to say something but still didn't say it, and when Gao Yan left, Fan Yao said to himself: "This matter is difficult here, those people have no clue, how to arrest people just based on the description of Zhang Shumo and his party!" ”

In the Daijing Post House, Zhang Shumo and his entourage immediately gathered together after returning to the post house and began to discuss countermeasures.

"It seems that the other party is planning to kill Xu Xuan this time, and he will also put the blame on us, everyone, what countermeasures do you have?" Zhang Shumo asked.

Cai Xun couldn't help but ask: "But the other party's method of blame is too shoddy, will Fan Yao and Gao Yan believe in this shoddy way of blame?" ”

Chen Lin looked solemn: "The other party's clever means are here!" In the eyes of ordinary people, they will think that others are framing us. But if it was Fan Yao, he would definitely be worried that this was a trick we deliberately played, so he would be suspicious of us! ”

"Judging from Fan Yao's decision, he already has doubts, otherwise Xu Yao is willing to hand it over to us, why don't you let us help with this case?" Zhang Shumo also frowned after speaking.

Liu naturally regretted a little on the side: "I knew that I should have caught up with the man in black yesterday, and with him here, I can prove that we are telling the truth!" ”

"How can the other party come prepared to let you catch up easily, now I can only hope that we can catch the gang who stole the clothes yesterday soon, so as to clear our suspicion!" Zhang Shumo said.

When Zhang Gui heard this, he immediately said: "I'm going to take the brothers who fought with those people yesterday to the street, we have seen their appearances, we should be able to help!" ”

Zhang Shumo looked at the others, and the others were silent, and there seemed to be no better way at the moment. So Zhang Shumo nodded: "It's better to find a needle in a haystack than to sit still, there is General Lao Zhang!" ”

Soon, Zhang Gui took Ge Tu and a group of people to change into civilian clothes and came to the bustling street market of Daijing City, relying on the memories of the soldiers to find the troublemaker.

At the same time, Deng Fei's men and horses followed Zhang Gui's description, checking the passing scholars and the two people who broke into the post house to steal clothes.

And Gao Yan directly led people to find those eunuch children who might have fallen in love with Gongsun Rong, and asked them in person if they had ever gone to Zhang Shumo's troubles.

In the evening, Gao Yan came to the yamen angrily, and Deng Fei was reporting to Fan Yao about today's inspection.

When Gao Yan saw Deng Fei, he immediately asked, "What's the matter?" Did you catch any suspicious people? ”

Deng Fei shook his head: "Back to the general's words, I just reported to Fan Xiang, and today I arrested more than a dozen people with similar figures to Zhang Shumo's description, but it was confirmed that they were not!" ”

When Gao Yan heard this, he looked slightly disappointed.

Seeing this, Fan Yao asked, "What?" There is no progress on the general's side either? ”

Gao Yan sat on the chair with his ass: "I asked all the children of the official eunuchs who are the same age as Rong'er in the capital city, and none of them admitted it!" ”

Fan Yao sighed: "I expected it, whether it is Zhang Shumo or someone else, the person who planned this matter is so that we can't judge whether Zhang Shumo's words are true or false!" By the way, Deng Fei, didn't you just say that there are still important things to say? ”

Deng Fei hurriedly nodded: "That's right, Guo Shi came to report just now, saying that when they were checking on the street, the person who found Zhang Shumo also changed into civilian clothes and checked on the street." ”。

When Gao Yan heard this, he said unhappily: "It is reasonable for Zhang Shumo to send someone to inspect, what's wrong?" ”

Deng Fei hurriedly arched his hand to the two: "The two adults, according to Zhang Shumo's words, it should be which son can't see Zhang Shumo, so he went to the post house to make trouble, and they lost their uniforms and swords." But why did they search the markets? It's not easy to find a son with status on the street, unless they know in advance that the group of people is not a son at all, but a group of people pretending to be in the market! ”
