Chapter 370: Temptation (1)
Gongsun Xue couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Fan Yao's words, and hurriedly asked Fan Yao: "Fan Xiang is saying that it is possible that Zhang Shumo is deliberately reassuring Ning Er and Rong Er?" ”
Fan Yao nodded: "That's right!" The purpose of Zhang Shumo's trip is clear, that is, to persuade His Majesty to negotiate peace! Therefore, it is not excluded that Zhang Shumo will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal of peace! ”
Gongsun Ze's brows were wrinkled together: "If that's the case, then how should we deal with it?" ”
Fan Yao wanted to test for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, why don't we use this investigation and assassination to test Zhang Shumo's good life?" ”
"What kind of temptation?"
Fan Yao smiled slightly, came to Gongsun Ze's side and whispered.
Gongsun Ze was overjoyed after hearing this: "Okay! Just act according to Fan Xiang's plan! ”
In the Daijing Post House, Cai Xun came back from outside the door happily, and Zhang Gui, who was on duty, couldn't help but ask when he saw him: "Is there anything good?" Makes you so happy! ”
Cai Xun nodded heavily: "There is indeed a good thing, I will tell Mr. Chen first, and then I will tell you later!" ”
After speaking, Cai Xun ran directly to Chen Lin's room.
As soon as he entered the door, Cai Xun couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Chen, I just asked Fan Yao's coachman for tea, and found out about Fan Yao's itinerary today. ”
After hearing this, Chen Lin stroked his beard with a smile: "Sure enough, it seems that the layout of the son is not in vain." ”
Cai Xun hurriedly asked, "Sir, how did you guess Fan Yao's whereabouts?" Also, what does this have to do with Childe's layout? ”
Chen Lin smiled slightly, and said to Cai Xun: "Today, it is rumored that the general Gao Yan inquired about the inference of the son, and then met Fan Yao again, who do you think will care about this news?" ”
"Naturally, it is Gongsun Zhi, he is the mastermind behind the scenes, and Fan Yao is the official who supervises the case, of course he is most worried that Fan Yao will know the inference of Gongzi."
Chen Lin nodded: "But have you ever thought about why Gao Yan's whereabouts were leaked?" ”
"Yesterday, so many people saw it, and some people said that it was normal to go out?"
"Yesterday, everyone just saw Gao Yan coming to the post house, how could they know that Gao Yan came to the post house to inquire about the inference of the son?" Chen Lin asked rhetorically.
Cai Xun frowned: "Could it be that someone with intelligence guessed Gao Yan's purpose?" ”
Chen Lin shook his head: "Definitely! This rumor is very detailed and convincing, and at first glance it is revealed by someone who knows the details of the matter. But there are only a few people who know the details, except for Gongzi, there are only people from the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion! Why do you think the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion or the General's Mansion leaked this news? ”
Cai Dian suddenly realized after Chen Lin's reminder: "Oh, I understand! This rumor was deliberately spread by Fan Xiang and the general, in order to attract the attention of Gongsun Zhi! ”
"That's right! Then if you think about it, why did they do it? ”
Cai Xun pondered for a moment, and then guessed: "Fan Xiang and the general are here to put pressure on Gongsun Zhi, so that he can show his flaws!" ”
Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction: "That's right!" But just rumors can't exert much pressure, so Fan Yao will definitely have a trick! So I guess he's going to confront Gongsun Sik in person. As long as the result of the confrontation comes out, Fan Yao can guess who is behind the scenes, so he will definitely go to see the Emperor of Yan State. ”
"Mr. Chen is really like a god, so should we tell this good news to Childe?"
"This is natural, we have to ask Childe about his next step."
After the two finished speaking, they came to Zhang Shumo's room. Zhang Shumo looked a little listless today, and the rumors about Gao Ning'er, Gongsun Rong and him made him uneasy. Although Lin Xiruo told Zhang Shumo with great certainty that nothing happened between the three of them, as soon as this rumor came out, even if there was no thing, people would misunderstand it.
Zhang Shumo saw Chen Lin and Cai Xun coming, and asked absentmindedly, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”
"Childe, Fan Yao went to test Gongsun Zhi today, and after leaving from Gongsun Zhi's side, he went to see Gongsun Zhi again, presumably they have already made up their minds about the assassination." Fan Yao said.
Zhang Shumo nodded: "Well, I know, is there anything else?" ”
Seeing Zhang Shumo's unmotivated appearance, Chen Lin couldn't help but scratch his eyebrows: "Childe, what should we do next?" Do you need to confirm Gongsun Zhi's affair with Zheng Guo? ”
Zhang Shumo shook his head: "No need! At first, I investigated this matter to find out which forces in the Yan Kingdom were colluding with Zheng Guo. In this way, it can not only find out the traitors for the Yan Kingdom, but also eradicate the people who prevent the peace. But now that the head of the prince of Yan State has been found, there is no need to meddle anymore, I believe that the Yan Kingdom will turn this matter into a small matter. ”
Chen Lin sighed: "Okay, got it!" After saying that, the two were just about to leave, Chen Lin couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Childe, are you worried about the rumors?" ”
Zhang Shumo wanted to deny it, but he understood that with Chen Lin's intelligence, he must have seen through it, so he nodded directly: "That's right, as soon as this rumor came out, the reputation of the two young ladies was ruined by me." ”
Chen Lin came to Zhang Shumo's side and couldn't help but persuade: "Childe, in a sense, this matter is beneficial to this peace discussion. The courtiers of the Yan Kingdom knew that Miss Gao and Princess Rong had a close personal relationship with the prince, so they would not dare to raise objections. I know that Childe feels guilty in his heart, but those who achieve big things are not informal, and I ask Childe to focus on national affairs! ”
Zhang Shumo didn't know these truths, but he always felt sorry for the two girls in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Gui hurriedly ran in: "Childe, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion is here, saying that Fan Yao invited Childe to the Prime Minister's Mansion to talk about it." ”
"Now?" Zhang Shumo couldn't help but wonder, what was Fan Yao going to do in the past at this time?
Chen Lin hurriedly asked, "Did the housekeeper make it clear for what?" ”
Zhang Gui shook his head: "The housekeeper doesn't seem to know, anyway, Fan Yao asked him to invite his son to the Prime Minister's Mansion to talk about it." ”
Chen Lin immediately looked at Zhang Shumo: "Could it be related to the assassination?" ”
Zhang Shumo shook his head: "Then it should also be said in the yamen, why do you invite me privately?" ”
"Is it for the sake of the two young ladies?" Cai Xun slapped his head and blurted out.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward, Zhang Shumo bit his lip after hearing this, and then sighed and said, "Alas! I think it's only for this matter! It is not good for the general and Gongsun Xue to talk to me face-to-face about this matter, so it should be most suitable for Fan Yao to come forward and say it! ”。
Chen Lin hurriedly said, "Childe, do you want Liu Tiantian to accompany you over?" ”
Zhang Shumo shook his head: "No need, sooner or later, I have to explain this matter to the two young ladies!" After speaking, Zhang Shumo followed Zhang Gui towards the door.
