With the order of Prince Hu Hai, Zhao Gao quickly found the guards on duty last night.

It is worthy of being taught by Meng Tian himself, all of them are virtuous, almost all of them are as cold as ice, they are not smiling, and they are full of seriousness.

Zhao Gao was also not frightened by this appearance after staying by Meng Tian's side for a long time, if any of the other eunuchs dared to stand in front of them and ask questions, he would have been far away.

"Since it was Gongzi Hu Hai who sent you to inquire, you can ask, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you." The two guards on duty said expressionlessly.

"Thank you, both of you." Zhao Gao saluted gratefully, then straightened up, his face looked indifferent, but his tone was full of undeceptive words: "Last night, I wonder if there was anything unusual when the two adults were on duty at the palace gate?" Or has anyone ever appeared? ”

The two guards thought seriously after listening to Zhao Gao's words, and then the two glanced at each other, as if they had thought of something, and then said: "When the time was decided, Gonggong Zhu hurried back from outside, lowered his head, and looked like he was in a hurry, and there was no other abnormality. ”

"What did you say?" After Zhao Gao saw what the guards said, he raised his face and looked at them in disbelief and asked.

Father-in-law Zhu came back from outside when he was about to be scheduled? But when Xiao Lu and the others said that they were about to make a decision, they met Zhu Gonggong in the small side hall.

It's simply impossible, how can one person be in two places at the same time? There can't be a doppelganger, so who lies between them?

"Are you sure you met Gonggong Zhu when you were about to make a decision?" Zhao Gao asked again.

"We did see Grandpa Zhu coming back from outside." The two guards looked at Zhao Gao and didn't believe what they said, and they were a little unhappy in their hearts, but they still said with certainty.

"But some people testified that they saw Gonggong Zhu in the small side hall where the palace people lived at the time when it was almost time for people to be scheduled." Zhao Gao also knew that his questioning had caused dissatisfaction in the hearts of the two guards, so he hurriedly spoke.

"Impossible." After they heard what Zhao Gao said, they immediately opened their mouths to deny it: "I'm sure he's lying." ”

"There was more than one person who saw it at that time, there were two palace maids and three little eunuchs, and the injuries on their bodies can prove that they were indeed punished yesterday." Zhao Gao said.

At that time, in order to make Zhao Gao believe his words, those little eunuchs rolled up their trouser legs when they were in the small side hall, revealing their scarred and swollen knees, to prove that they were indeed punished by Gonggong Zhu for crawling in the courtyard of the side hall.

Zhao Gao could see that it was a new injury, so he believed their words, not to mention that what Xiao Lu said was about the innocence of a palace maid, if it was really them lying, they would definitely not make such an excuse.

"It can't be." After hearing Zhao Gao's words, the two guards still firmly believed in what they saw, because they did see Gonggong Zhu come back yesterday.

"Are you sure that the person who came in was Gonggong Zhu?" Zhao Gao always felt that there must be something wrong here, so he asked again.

"We ......" One of the guards tried to say something, but was suddenly stopped by another guard.

They glanced at each other, and suddenly they seemed to think of something, their eyes were full of surprise, and the other guard thought about it and said: "Last night, it was dark, the lights were slightly bright, and we only saw a dress that Gonggong Zhu often wears on weekdays, as well as the token on his waist, but at that time, Gonggong Zhu was in a very hurry, and his head was lowered, we could only see his side face slightly, but did not see his face. ”

The guard said, and suddenly understood something in his heart, if Zhao Gao said that someone else had seen Zhu Gonggong in other places at that time, then this person wearing the same clothes as Zhu Gonggong and wearing his token around his waist would definitely not be Zhu Gonggong.

Thinking of this, the two guards oozed a slight cold sweat on their foreheads for a moment, if the person who went in last night was not Gonggong Zhu, then who would it be?

And he put a stranger into the palace of Hu Hai Gongzi without knowing it, if that person is an assassin, then Hu Hai Gongzi is not very dangerous now?

Thinking that he was not on duty properly, and now Hu Haigongzi's life would be in danger, the two guards were immediately anxious and wanted to rush out without thinking about it.

Zhao Gao immediately stopped the two of them, and the two guards saw Zhao Gao stopping them and asked with a puzzled expression, "What are you stopping us for?" You have to find out who was last night quickly, otherwise, the safety of Gongzi Hu Hai is not guaranteed. "Zero Zero Book House

"Don't worry, two adults, I don't think that person is here for Master Huhai." Zhao Gao looked at the two guards in front of him with a trace of panic on their originally serious faces, so he immediately explained: "If that person really wanted to assassinate Hu Hai Gongzi, he would definitely do it last night when no one knew about it, and it would be foolproof, but he didn't do it, and then it was like the world evaporated, so he definitely didn't come to Hu Hai Gongzi." ”

After listening to Zhao Gao's words, the two guards thought about it, and it was indeed the same reason, if they really came to assassinate Hu Hai Gongzi, they would definitely do it last night, but this matter was indeed caused by their own negligence, and they would definitely be punished.

"Even so, my two brothers have made such a mistake, they will definitely go to bear the guilt in person, and it is up to Gongzi Hu Hai to fight or kill." The two guards did not shirk their responsibilities and said with a serious face.

It is worthy of being taught by Meng Tian, they are all dead people, Zhao Gao looked at the two guards and thought silently.

"The two adults are loyal, and Gongzi Hu Hai is not that kind of violent person, so it is natural for him to go and ask for guilt, but the most important thing now is to find out who is the person who pretended to be Gonggong Zhu yesterday? After he went in, did he come out, but where did the real Gonggong Zhu go? ”

"The two of us can be sure that the person who pretended to be Gonggong Zhu never came out after entering." The two guards spoke earnestly.

"Are you really sure?" Zhao Gao asked seriously again.

"Pretty definitely." The two guards nodded seriously, and then spoke: "We were on the night shift last night, and when we saw the person pretending to be Gonggong Zhu, we had just changed shifts, and by this morning, when another group of brothers came to change shifts, none of them had left the palace gate. ”

After Zhao Gao listened to what they said, he didn't question them, after all, if there was really any problem, they really wanted to hide something, and they wouldn't have told them about seeing Gonggong Zhu last night.

And Zhao Gao asked the guards guarding the palace gate as early as today, when Gongzi Hu Hai ordered someone to look for Gonggong Zhu, and they also made it clear that they didn't see Gonggong Zhu and suspicious characters go out, so it can be explained that the person who came in last night who pretended to be Gonggong Zhu disappeared mysteriously in Gongzi Huhai's palace.

However, although the palace of the prince of Hu Hai is large, it is impossible for a person to disappear without a trace for no reason, and the high walls and red tiles around the palace cannot be crossed by an ordinary person.

Even if you borrow an external force, it is impossible to climb over the wall, because the guards around you patrol very closely, and it is impossible for people to go through the wall without being detected.

So where exactly did these two go? Who is the corpse that was pushed into the bottom of the well by Xiao Dezi and them last night? Since both of them are missing, and all the palace people are there, then this corpse must be Gonggong Zhu or one of the mysterious people.

But whoever is in it, and where is the other one? And what is this mysterious person trying to do when he infiltrates the palace of Prince Hu Hai? Now all the questions are entangled in Zhao Gao's heart.

Zhao Gao felt that the more he investigated, the more problems he encountered, and every time he felt that he was close to the truth, he would usher in another problem.

But Zhao Gao felt that the more problems he encountered, the closer he got to the truth, if he could know who the mysterious person was? Maybe you can unravel the truth of the matter.

"Our brother was negligent in his duties, and thank you for the reminder, please accept our bow." The two guards saluted Zhao Gao as they spoke, their faces full of sincerity.

The two guards were also upright people, and they would not shirk their responsibilities and mistakes at all, let alone be angry with Zhao Gao for meddling in their affairs and exposing their dereliction of duty, but thanked Zhao Gao from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhao Gao immediately returned a salute, and then said: "The two adults are serious, but they can't blame the adults entirely, I think that person has been observing for a long time, and he will know the time when the adults change shifts, and it is really understandable to pretend to be Gonggong Zhu and enter the palace during the chaos." ”

"It's our dereliction of duty that is our responsibility, no matter what the reason is, we all have a responsibility that cannot be shirked, now that person's target is not Hu Hai Gongzi, if it was really the assassin who went to assassinate Hu Hai Gongzi last night, now I'm afraid we can't stand here." Those two guards knew their responsibilities very well, no matter what the purpose of the person who pretended to be Gonggong Zhu yesterday was? In the end, it's your own fault.

"The two adults really make Zhao Gao very admired, but the two adults don't need to ask Hu Hai Gongzi for guilt, Hu Hai Gongzi is not an unreasonable and cruel person." Zhao Gao looked at the two guards and said, "The two adults are not the people under the control of Prince Hu Hai, and the punishment should not be ordered by Prince Hu Hai." ”

What Zhao Gao said was actually reminding the two guards that even if they tried to be on duty, they should not go to Hu Hai Gongzi to ask for guilt, they have direct management superiors, and they should directly ask their superiors for guilt.

If they really want to ask Hu Hai Gongzi for their guilt, it should be the person who controls them and takes them over, that is, if they go to ask for guilt alone, wouldn't they have crossed the level and caused another mistake.

The two guards were also smart people, and they immediately heard the meaning of Zhao Gao's words, and immediately thought that they had not considered it, and then saluted Zhao Gao again with gratitude.
