Zhang Shumo couldn't help but nod when he heard Chen Lin's words, if Gongsun Luo had the guidance of a master, he should not choose to frame Gongsun Zhi in this way, which means that it is very likely that Gongsun Zhi is framing himself and Gongsun Luo.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo said to everyone: "Mr. Chen is right, if the arson case was committed by Gongsun Luo, then the risk he took was too great. And getting rid of Xu Xuan is also good for Gongsun Zhi, if I were Gongsun Luo, I would never do this! If it wasn't Gongsun Luo's doing, then it could only be Gongsun Zhizai who was framing us again. ”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Zhang Shumo's guess. At this time, Liu naturally suddenly said: "Why is it not Gongsun Luo or Gongsun Zhi, is it possible that someone else did it?" ”

Zhang Shumo frowned: "The one who benefited the most from the arson case is Gongsun Zhi, that is, getting rid of Xu Xuan, he will not let him have worries, and he can frame us to sabotage the peace, so as to meet Zheng Guo's requirements!" So he is the most suspicious. And that day in court, he almost insisted that it was us who did it, if it wasn't a frame-up, why should he be so decisive? ”

Chen Lin also added: "That's right, other people's motives for doing this are too small, just like Gongsun Luo, he did this, except for being able to frame us and Gongsun Zhi, there is no other use!" It's not worth taking such a big risk just to frame someone! ”

Liu naturally shrugged his shoulders: "I just think that this matter shouldn't be so simple, but what you said also makes sense, maybe I'm too worried." ”

Zhang Shumo scratched his eyebrows after hearing this, and suddenly remembered the matter of fighting crickets today, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Could it be that someone has ulterior motives and deliberately makes everyone think that Gongsun Zhi did it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo made up his mind and said to everyone: "We can't sit still this time, the reason why Fan Yao suspects us is that he is worried that we will deliberately frame Gongsun Zhi, so this time I plan to take the initiative!" I believe that Fan Yao will investigate Miao Feng tonight, and when he has the results, he will definitely open the hall again, and I will talk to Fan Yao alone at that time! ”

Gao Yan left the yamen and returned home, and Gao Ning'er hurriedly ran to see him.

At this time, Gongsun Ningyan was changing Gao Yan's clothes and preparing for dinner, but who knew that Gao Ning'er broke into the house directly and asked Gao Yan: "Father, how is Zhang Shumo?" ”

Looking at Gao Ning'er, who was in a hurry, Gao Yan sighed helplessly: "Someone turned himself in today, saying that Miao Feng hired them to go to Zhang Shumo to make trouble and steal military uniforms and swords. If this is true, it means that Zhang Shumo colluded with His Highness to frame His Royal Highness together. ”

When Gao Ning'er heard this, she immediately said, "Doesn't my father know? That day was still my idea to His Highness, if His Highness really colluded with Zhang Shumo, why did he come to me? ”

"It's because His Highness took the initiative to find you, so I suspect that His Highness was a resolute main battle faction before, how could he suddenly help Zhang Shumo? If nothing else, do you think His Highness will suddenly change? After Gao Yan finished speaking, he looked at Gao Ning'er and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Gongsun Ningyan heard the conversation between the father and daughter, and couldn't help but wonder: "What the hell is going on?" What the hell are you father and daughter talking about? ”

So, Gao Yan told Gongsun Ningyan what had happened recently, and she couldn't help but sit down in her chair after listening to it: "How could such a thing happen, if you want me to say that it's all to blame Fan Yao, if he doesn't test Zhang Shumo, how can there be so many things?" ”

Gao Yan knocked on the table: "Okay, don't complain." Speaking of this, Gao Yanyou looked at Gao Ning'er: "You go to dinner first, I believe that Fan Xiang will definitely find out about this matter, if Zhang Shumo has no problem, Fan Xiang will never wronged him." Father can clearly tell you that Fan attaches no less importance to Zhang Shumo than you! ”

After Gao Ning'er listened, she left worriedly.

On the other side, Fan Yao arranged for his men to investigate whether Miao Feng had contacted the scholars and his group, and then went to the palace to see Gongsun Ze.

Originally, Fan Yao planned to report to Gongsun Xue after the investigation was clear, but now that there is another matter, Fan Yao has no choice but to report the investigation of the case to Gongsun Xue first.

After listening to Fan Yao's report, Gongsun Xue stood in front of the window and looked at the gradually darkening sky and did not speak for a long time. Fan Yao had no choice but to kneel behind him cautiously and wait for instructions.

After a long time, Gongsun Xue suddenly said: "Don't investigate this matter!" ”

"Huh?" Fan Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I know Your Majesty's worries, but this matter may still be done by Zhang Shumo and his gang, if we don't investigate it clearly, then will we still make peace with Huaiguo?" ”

Gongsun Xue shook his head: "The last time Zhang Shumo entered the palace, I had already promised him to negotiate peace, do you think that with Zhang Shumo's personality, in the face of great rights and wrongs, he will take risks to frame Zhi'er?" ”

Fan Yao narrowed his eyes, and then said firmly: "Your Majesty, it is because Zhang Shumo is very smart that he is likely to take risks, because he knows that everyone will lower their suspicions of him!" ”

Gongsun Xue turned to look at Fan Yao: "What if the investigation finds out that it was done by Zhi'er or Luo'er?" Will we have room to manoeuvre then? ”

Faced with Gongsun Xue's question, Fan Yao didn't speak for a long time. He understood what Gongsun Xue meant, if this matter is really investigated, if it is done by the two Highnesses, then Gongsun Xue will have to punish His Highness, and the loss will only be the royal family!

Seeing that Fan Yao didn't answer his question, Gongsun Xue sighed and said seriously: "No matter who did it, the purpose is to frame it!" Whether it is framing Luo'er, Zhi'er or Zhang Shumo, as long as we don't pursue it, the person who planned this matter will not succeed. As for Xu Xuan's matter, forget it, I didn't plan to let him go back, otherwise once the news leaked, Zhi'er would be discredited! ”

Hearing Gongsun Xue's words, Fan Yao struggled in his heart, but still nodded: "The minister understands, the minister will definitely handle this matter properly!" ”

Leaving the palace, Fan Yao struggled inwardly. For him, Zhang Shumo is the heir of the future prime minister of Yan Kingdom, if he doesn't investigate whether Zhang Shumo has the intention to stay in Yan Kingdom, then he will definitely not dare to reuse Zhang Shumo.

But Gongsun Xue has already given an order, if he insists on investigating, something must be wrong, what should he do? ?

Fan Yao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a frown, but found that Deng Fei had been waiting in the mansion for a long time.

The two immediately came to the study, and Deng Fei reported the investigation to Fan Yao: "Prime Minister, according to the investigation of the palace captain by the lower officials, Miao Feng never left the palace on the day of the crime!" This shows that the man in black who led Liu Tiantian away was not him at all! ”
