Chapter 378: Two Birds with One Stone (3)

Gongsun Rong modified the events of that day slightly, and then told Gongsun Luo, Gongsun Luo was overjoyed after hearing it: "So that little eunuch deliberately led Zhang Shumo to your palace, and then wanted to convict Zhang Shumo of the crime, but at that time you just finished taking a bath and hid Zhang Shumo?" ”

"That's right!" Gongsun Rong nodded.

Gongsun Luo immediately put his hands on Gongsun Rong's shoulders, looked at her and said, "Great, Rong'er, so that everything can be explained." Are you willing to be a witness to prove Zhang Shumo's innocence? ”

Gongsun Rong broke free of Gongsun Luo's hand and shrugged helplessly: "I've told my eldest brother, is there any other choice?" It's just that if the person behind this scene is a prince and minister, I don't know what the eldest brother will do? ”

Gongsun Luo said happily: "Rong'er, don't worry, I am only responsible for the investigation, and when I find out the truth of the matter, I will truthfully report it to my father, and everything will be decided by my father!" ”

After speaking, Gongsun Luo Xing left in a hurry. Gongsun Rong looked at the back of his eldest brother leaving, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Not long after, Gongsun Luo returned to his palace and told the old man in front of him about Gongsun Rong's change as it was. After hearing this, the old man stroked his beard with a smile: "Sure enough, it seems that the old man's guess is nine times out of ten wrong!" Your Highness can go to His Majesty to search the palace! ”

Gongsun Luo asked puzzledly, "Didn't the teacher say that the assassin was in Gongsun Zhi's palace?" Why search the entire palace? ”

The old man said with a smile: "Your Highness has no real evidence to prove that this matter was done by His Royal Highness, if you doubt Your Highness in front of Your Highness, I am afraid that Your Highness will be dissatisfied." Moreover, if His Royal Highness takes the opportunity to transfer the assassins, it will be troublesome if His Highness can't find anyone at that time. ”

Gongsun Luo nodded respectfully: "The student understands, I'll go to see my father!" ”

Soon Gongsun Luo asked to see Gongsun Xue and told the results of his investigation.

"Father, the Emperor has found out about the assassins in the Rong'er Palace. Rong'er personally admitted that it was the dead little eunuch who led Zhang Shumo to Rong'er's palace that day, and Rong'er didn't want to make more trouble, so he hid Zhang Shumo and escaped the search led by Chu Lie. In this way, the whole thing makes sense, someone must have instructed the little eunuch to lead Zhang Shumo to Rong'er's palace, wanting to convict Zhang Shumo. After the little eunuch brought Zhang Shumo to Rong'er Palace, he lost his use value, and the people behind the scenes killed people. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Xue raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Luo: "That's all?" ”

"Yes!"

"What kind of eyebrows is this, has the assassin who killed the eunuch been found? Does the person behind the scenes have a clue? Gongsun Xue said dissatisfiedly.

Gongsun Luo hurriedly knelt down on one knee and continued: "Erchen has already asked the guards on duty that day, and he did not find the assassin going out that day, which means that the assassin is still in the palace, but he doesn't know where to hide!" And the person behind the curtain must also be a person in the palace, otherwise how can a big living person be hidden? ”

Gongsun Xue put aside the fold in his hand and looked at Gongsun Luo: "Then what do you want to do now?" ”

"The child begs his father to give an order to thoroughly investigate every corner of the palace, as long as the assassin's hiding place is found, the people behind the scenes will be called out!" Gongsun Luo's whole body fell to the ground, waiting for Gongsun Xue's reply.

Gongsun Xue was a little relieved in the assassin's heart, the boss was able to deduce such important information from the only clues, which showed that he really cared. Now that the second child may collude with Zheng Guo again, it seems that Yan Guo will be handed over to the boss in the future!

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xue nodded: "Okay, I will order you to thoroughly investigate every corner of the palace, and find out the assassin and never tolerate it!" ”

Gongsun Luo took the order to leave, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart: Gongsun Zhi, this time you must be doomed!

At the entrance of the Daijing Post House, two rows of Wuxiu Iron Riders held spears at the door, since the last assassination, Zhang Gui took over the escort work of the Post House with his subordinates, and hundreds of Wuxiu Iron Horsemen brought from Huaiguo became the main force of the post house guards.

Ge Tu was standing at the door of the post house at this time to guard, originally Ge Tu was just an ordinary villager in Qinghua City, and after following Zhang Shumo's uprising, he entered the Wuxiu Army, and later after Zhang Shumo established the Wuxiu Iron Cavalry, Ge Tu was selected by Pang Yuan and became a cavalryman.

This Getu was originally an orphan, and he was inconspicuous among the villagers. But Wu Xiujun does not look at his background but only his hard work, and Ge Tu became the captain of the Iron Cavalry with his first-class execution and unremitting efforts, so Ge Tu is very grateful to Zhang Shumo. After learning that Zhang Shumo needed five hundred guards to envoy Yan Guo, Ge Tu signed up without hesitation, in his opinion, it was a very honorable thing to be a guard for Zhang Shumo.

The post house is located on the edge of the capital city, not a very prosperous area, so there are not many pedestrians on the street in front of the door. Occasionally, one or two porters would sell at the door of Yuguan, and Getu would order someone to drive them away in case of accidents.

It was close to noon, and just as Ge Tu was thinking about what to eat at noon, a group of people suddenly appeared at the far end of the street, and this group of people was scolding and walking towards the inn.

Ge Tu instantly became vigilant, the last time there was an assassination incident, there was a group of people dressed as scholars around the door of the post house, this time there was another group of people, you must be extra careful.

Just as he was thinking, the noisy crowd had arrived at the door of the post house, Ge Tu glanced at his subordinates, and the two rows of guards immediately raised their spears to stop the crowd.

"What kind of person, why are you making a noise at the door of the inn!" Getu scolded loudly.

A scholar-like person in the crowd pointed at Ge Tu and scolded: "What kind of thing are you, dare to stop this son?" Everyone, follow me to find Zhang Shumo to settle accounts, I don't believe a group of hillbillies who are Huaiguo, and dare to kill people in the territory of my Yan country? ”

After speaking, the crowd began to rush to the post house under the leadership of this scholar.

Ge Tu clenched the spear in his hand and immediately said to the people around him: "Go and inform General Zhang and Gongzi!" After saying that, Ge Tu shouted to his subordinates: "Blast this group out!" ”

When the soldiers received the order, they began to bombard, and the two groups of men and horses immediately clashed.

The scholar who originally took the lead was kicked out by Ge Tu, and the scholar lay on the ground for a long time before he sat up, pointed at the soldiers and shouted: "Huaiguo soldiers have beaten people, everyone fight with them!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the group immediately rioted, and people looked for weapons to take advantage of and scuffled with the soldiers.

Ge Tu originally thought that these people were just a group of powerless scholars, and although his team was less than them, it should be easy to deal with a group of scholars.

But what Ge Tu didn't expect was that some people in the crowd looked like Lian Jiazi, and their martial arts were not weak, and soon, their own defense line was broken through, and a few people rushed into the post house!
