Fan Yao's question made Zhang Shumo fall into deep thought, and he suddenly felt as if he had discovered something, but after thinking about it carefully, he found nothing.

Zhang Shumo couldn't help but think about it, since he came to Huaiguo, all kinds of things that happened have always had a lot to do with Yihe. If the negotiation is successful, it is naturally Huaiguo who benefits the most, but Yanguo does not suffer either. The biggest benefit from the failure of the peace negotiation should be Zheng Guo, although the Yan State has increased its territory, but a large area bordering Zheng State will increase their military spending, which should be a burden for them.

Therefore, the people who prevent the negotiation of peace are either short-sighted Yan Guo people, or people like His Royal Highness who collude with Zheng Guo for their own interests.

There must be a lot of short-sighted Yan people, but they shouldn't have the strength to plan such a meticulous plan, otherwise they wouldn't be so short-sighted. Therefore, it can only be the second highness who is the most suspicious! Unless in the Yan Kingdom, there are more than one person who colludes with Zheng Guo! In addition, there is an extreme possibility, that is, Zheng Guo has placed an undercover agent among the hundred officials of Yan Guo, and the official position of this undercover agent must not be bottom!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo slowly raised his head and looked at Fan Yao: "Fan Xiang is a smart person, so Fan Xiang should understand my thoughts at the moment!" As an envoy sent by Huaiguo to negotiate peace, the primary goal was naturally to ensure the success of the peace negotiation. So at least until the peace talks are successful, I will never play any tricks! Moreover, messing up the Yan Kingdom will not do the current Huaiguo any good, and I won't be stupid enough to be like this! ”

Fan Yao looked at Zhang Shumo suspiciously, what Zhang Shumo said Fan Yao naturally thought about it, but what made Fan Yao most uneasy was Zhang Shumo's character. Zhang Shumo has an arrogant personality, so naturally he will not take the officials in the court of Yan Kingdom in his eyes, so Fan Yao feels that Zhang Shumo is very likely to do such a provocative thing.

So Fan Yao asked rhetorically: "Smart people naturally understand the truth, but what if you do the opposite?" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled bitterly: "I really don't know when I left such an impression on Fan Xiang. Now that he is suffering from domestic and foreign troubles, it is a time of extreme crisis, does Fan Xiang think that he dares to joke with the fate of Huaiguo? Once the peace negotiation fails, the Yan State Iron Cavalry will inevitably step into the territory of Huaiguo, and when the time comes, Huaiguo will be attacked on both sides, won't it be self-defeating? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo looked at Gao Yan: "And I have no bad intentions towards Yan Guo." Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and all countries are ready to move. Zheng Guo in the south is powerful, and it is a good time to dominate the world. The other six countries should unite in order to avoid being annexed by Zheng State! ”

"Among the seven countries, the three southern countries are basically united fronts, and the other two countries are all affiliated with Zheng; And my Huaiguo is in the land of four wars, and the geographical location is the most unfavorable, so naturally I can't take the lead to resist Zheng; The territory of the Wu State is mostly in the northwest, and it has little intersection with the countries of the Central Plains, and it is not suitable for taking the lead; Jingguo, who was originally strong, is now also in civil strife, and has no time to estimate Zheng Guo; So among the current Seven Kingdoms, only Yan Guo has the strength to take the lead in confronting Zheng Guo, if I mess up the Yan State government at this time, wouldn't I make a wedding dress for Zheng Guo? ”

Gao Yan couldn't help but nod his head after listening to Zhang Shumo's analysis: I didn't expect Zhang Shumo to be the leader of the analysis of the current situation in the world at a young age, and he is really a rare talent. It's just that Gao Yan didn't show too much in order to cooperate with Fan Yao.

Fan Yao also likes Zhang Shumo even more at the moment, in his opinion, Zhang Shumo should be a character who is not lost to Zhou Gang. However, Zhang Shumo's performance after coming to Daijing, although it was very impressive, did not show his talent in governing the country. The remarks just now proved that Zhang Shumo's understanding of the current situation in the world was not inferior to his own, so a trace of love rose in Fan Yao's heart.

So Fan Yao couldn't help but applaud: "That's good! I was even more impressed with Childe. In Childe's opinion, who will do this? ”

Zhang Shumo narrowed his eyes, he didn't know why Fan Yao wanted to ask his opinion. In his heart, he was naturally the most suspicious of Gongsun Zhi, but if he told the truth, would Fan Yao misunderstand that he was framing Gongsun Zhi? But if he behaved too tactfully, would Fan Yao be mistaking that he was lying?

Zhang Shumo, who was entangled in his heart, thought about it and chose a compromise method, letting Fan Yao and Gao Yan choose by themselves.

So Zhang Shumo said to the two: "Since this matter is confusing, and the credibility of various evidence and witnesses is not high, let's start with the motive of this case!" ”

"First of all, killing Xu Xuan is nothing more than two motives, one is to kill people and kill people, so as to prevent Xu Xuan from telling the secret of the assassination in the post house; The second is to frame the Second Highness, after all, in the eyes of most people, the mastermind behind the assassination of the post house is the Second Highness Gongsun Zhi, and he is the only one who most urgently needs Xu Xuan to shut up. Of course, these two speculations are based on the fact that His Royal Highness is the mastermind behind the assassination of the post house, and if Fan Xiang insists that the post house assassination case has no hidden feelings, there is nothing to say below. Zhang Shumo said.

Fan Yao nodded after listening: "If I say that there is no hidden truth in the assassination case of the post house, I am afraid that Zhang Gongzi will not believe it, and Gongzi can go on according to his own ideas." ”

After listening to this, Zhang Shumo continued: "Okay! Since there is a motive, let's eliminate the suspect according to the motive! First, let's talk about the second motivation, which is the most complicated in the situation. ”

"There are only two kinds of people who want to frame the Second Highness, one is the opponent of the Second Highness, that is, the Great Highness Gongsun Luo, who is competing with the Second Highness for the position of the crown prince. The second is the person who wants to plunge Yanguo into chaos, in Prime Minister Fan's opinion, people like Zhang should be in the bottom. But after thinking about it carefully, there is another party who wants civil strife in Yan, and that is Zheng Guoren! ”

"According to my analysis just now, it is difficult for other countries to threaten Zheng Guo except for Yan Guo, if Yan Guo also falls into civil strife, then Zheng Guo will be the only one!"

Fan Yao couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "Zhang Gongzi is suspecting that there are Zheng Guo's spies in my Yan Kingdom?" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out now!" ”

Fan Yao and Gao Yan both took a deep breath, both of the officials in the court of Yan Guo were very familiar, but through Zhang Shumo's analysis, both of them lost confidence, after all, Zheng Guo may have laid out in advance and placed the spy in Yan Guo early!!

So Fan Yao raised his hand and motioned for Zhang Shumo to continue.

Zhang Shumo thought for a while and continued: "The reason why I said this is because of the various strangeness of this case. The person who planned this case had good intentions, in addition to killing Xu Xuan, that was to frame my Huaiguo Mission, so as to sabotage the peace between Yan and Huai, and the people who wanted to destroy the peace were not only the main battle faction of Yan State, then it could only be Zheng Guoren! ”
