After Fan Yao understood the whole story, he couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, if it is really King Qi's collaboration with the enemy, what will Your Majesty do?" ”

"A gentleman who violates the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention the crime of collaborating with the enemy, I will never spare it! How? Fan Xiang thinks that the mastermind behind this matter must be Gongsun Kang? ”

Fan Yao thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, King Qi has shown too little fame and fortune in recent years, and the more he is like this, the more uneasy Weichen will be. Up and down the Yan Kingdom, except for His Majesty, no one can sit on an equal footing with the King of Qi, and it stands to reason that in this case, the King of Qi should be more and more obstructive. ”

Gongsun Xue shook his head: "I don't see it that way!" Gongsun Kang is my younger brother of the same father and mother, and he has no reason to disagree. And he is smart by nature, he has long seen through that he is not my opponent, so he simply doesn't care about anything! ”

Fan Yao frowned after hearing this: "Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that Gongsun Yang was the instigator of the assassination?" ”

Gongsun Xue sighed: "If it was really Gongsun Yang's master, then I wouldn't be so troubled!" The second child did not report to me after learning about this, but went to the Qi Palace's mansion as soon as possible, didn't Fan Xiang suspect it? ”

Fan Yao raised his eyebrows: "The minister does have some doubts, but the minister doesn't dare to say it." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Fan Yao brushed his thoughts and said to Gongsun Ze: "If Zheng Guo wants to interfere in China's internal affairs, he must find a high-ranking and powerful person to cooperate in my country. Although Gongsun Yang is said to be the prince of Qi, he has no power and no one in his hands, and Zheng Guo will never be stupid enough to cooperate with him. Since Zheng Guo will not cooperate with Gongsun Yang, and the person who assassinated Zhang Shumo has become Gongsun Yang's bodyguard, this shows that someone must have colluded with Gongsun Yang. Your Majesty does not doubt that Sun Kang, the prince of Qi, then there are probably only two princes who can assign Gongsun Yang to do things in this Yan country! ”

"That's right! On the day of the assassination, the second child was also present and fought with the assassin, so that the second child's suspicion was greatly reduced. I'm afraid that the second child also thought of this, so after he learned the news, he would go directly to the Qi Wangfu without reporting to me, just to find out the boss's handle, and then hold it in his own hands. After Gongsun Xue finished speaking, a glint flashed in his eyes.

Fan Yao nodded: "Second Highness is thoughtful, it is not enough to think of this. But Weichen felt that the second prince could not rule out suspicion! He went directly to the Qi Palace, or he might have gone to confess with Gongsun Yang! Therefore, this matter should also be known to His Highness, and see how he will react. However, no matter which prince is in charge, this matter must not be made public, otherwise it will affect the Tianwei of my Great Yan Kingdom. ”

"I'll wake up naturally, I've already ordered people to keep it secret."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is one person who will not keep it a secret. Not only will he not keep it secret, but he will also preach it everywhere! ”

Gongsun Ze raised his eyebrows: "Who dares to be so bold?" ”

"Zhang Shumo!" After Fan Yao finished speaking, he continued to explain: "Your Majesty, don't forget, the assassin was caught by Zhang Shumo. The minister didn't believe that this matter was a coincidence, it must be the result of Zhang Shumo's careful layout. And Zhang Shumo only knows everything about it, and others don't dare to provoke Zhang Shumo anymore. ”

Gongsun Xue sighed: "I forgot about him, so I will bother Fan Xiang to go on a trip and let Zhang Shumo be cautious in his words and deeds." ”

Fan Yao shook his head: "It's not appropriate for Weichen to go to this matter, only when the general comes out, Zhang Shumo will obediently obey." ”

Gongsun Xue couldn't help but laugh when he heard it: "Hahaha, Fan Xiang is really old and spicy, Zhang Shumo is unlucky to meet you." Okay, this matter will be done according to Fan Xiang's intentions! ”

As soon as the sky was bright, Cai Xun came and knocked on Zhang Shumo's door: "Childe, Gao Yan is here, I want to see Childe." ”

Zhang Shumo sat up with a bone: "I know, I'll come." After saying that, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, why did he come? Shouldn't it be Deng Fei or Gongsun Zhilai?

As soon as he saw Zhang Shumo, Gao Yan put on a stinky face: "Okay, you Zhang Shumo, you don't take my words to heart at all!" What did I command you that day? ”

Zhang Shumo naturally knew that Gao Yan was talking about investigating the assassins, but Zhang Shumo pretended to be stupid and said, "I'm completely acting according to the general's instructions this day." ”

"Fart! I told you to stop investigating the Assassins, why are you still holding on? Gao Yan saw that Zhang Shumo didn't want to admit it, and he was immediately furious.

Zhang Shumo hurriedly explained: "This matter is a misunderstanding! I was supposed to avenge a friend, but I didn't expect to run into an assassin and capture him by the way. ”

"By the way? It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Are you all fools when we are? Fan Xiang had already guessed that you did this on purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to explain to you! ”

Zhang Shumo asked with interest when he heard this: "I don't know what Fan Xiang asked the general to explain?" ”

Gao Yan snorted heavily: "He asked me to tell you to keep it a secret!" If everyone who said it knows, I will not let you go first! ”

Zhang Shumo hurriedly nodded: "This junior will definitely keep it secret, after all, this matter is very important, and the junior will never leak the slightest rumor." ”

Seeing that Zhang Shumo's attitude was quite sincere, the anger in Gao Yan's heart was reduced: "I know that you have always been obsessed with the assassination, but do you think this matter is like an ordinary case?" Tell you, a Qi Wangfu is not so capable, and there are other people in this matter! ”

When Zhang Shumo heard this, he immediately asked, "I want to hear about it." ”

"Think about it, what kind of person will be able to command the Qi Palace?"

Zhang Shumo said logically: "Your Majesty or the two highnesses, or Fan Xianghe and the generals?" ”

Gao Yan glanced at Zhang Shumo: "Fan Yao and I are ministers after all, how could we command the Qi Palace?" If Your Majesty wants to kill you, do you still need to find an assassin? ”

Zhang Shumo smiled knowingly: "In fact, the juniors have long been suspicious of His Royal Highness, the last time the juniors were framed in the palace, it was His Highness who led people to block the juniors in Gongsun Rong's palace, I think he must have planned it." ”

"So you doubt Gongsun Luo?"

Zhang Shumo nodded: "Eighty percent was done by him, and twenty percent may be the Second Highness, but if it is really done by the Second Highness, the junior will be impressed by him." After speaking, Zhang Shumo unconsciously looked into the distance.

In the palace of King Qi, Gongsun Zhi sat on the upper seat, Gongsun Kang sat next to him, and Gongsun Yang stood aside.

"How could you be so careless? Xu Xuan's identity is so special, how could you let him go to Zhao Tao as a guard? Although Gongsun Zhi was expressionless, he was not angry.

Gongsun Kang hurriedly said on the side: "Zhi'er is angry, this matter is a trap carefully planned by Zhang Shumo, and Qin'er will catch him without paying attention. ”

Gongsun Kang is Gongsun Zhi's uncle after all, so Gongsun Zhi is not angry, so he has to say: "Now what do Deng Fei and Zhang Shumo know, you have to tell me in as much detail as possible, so that I can formulate countermeasures!" ”
