Xu Zhilan nodded in approval of Liu Mei'er's speculation, and said: "If it weren't for General Gilgrad opening the coffin and discovering that the wound of the second royal brother also had symptoms of poisoning, I'm afraid everyone would suspect that the third royal brother was poisoned to death by the eighth royal brother." And after the fact, no poison was detected on the knife, and everyone would definitely not suspect Guo Gonggong. Now that I think about it, most of this Guo Gonggong's martial arts are very good! When I find a chance to see if he can do martial arts, once I am sure, I will kill him with my own hands to avenge the three royal brothers. ”

"No, don't try it now, so as not to startle the snake, and after a while, let me Jingyang Kingdom get as much iron ore as possible from Xu Zhiyuan." Liu Meier said very rationally.

"Assuming that Gonggong Guo is the murderer, and the purpose of his design to kill the three royal brothers is to stop Xu Zhiyuan's transaction with the three royal brothers, won't he let out the wind and say that the third royal brother has been killed by the eighth royal brother? As long as Xu Zhiyuan hears this rumor, whether it is true or not, Xu Zhiyuan will ask to meet the three royal brothers, otherwise, Xu Zhiyuan will not risk killing his head to smuggle iron ore to Jingyang Kingdom. ”

Liu Mei'er was very sad and said sadly: "Could it be that my four royal brothers died in vain? ”

Xu Zhilan couldn't see the woman sad, he said: "I have been away from Jinling for almost two months, wait for me to go to Xu's study to deal with it, and we will discuss it in the long term in the evening." ”

The four princes all died in Yangtao City, the Khan will definitely go crazy, if he is sensible, he will take Liu Mei'er back to Jingyang Kingdom and then start a war, if he is not rational, he may start a war regardless of Liu Mei'er's life or death! Xu Zhilan walked out of the room worriedly, and was about to beckon Guo Gonggong to go to the study together, when he saw Guo Gonggong and Princess Luoyang standing in the courtyard and whispering something.

"Gonggong Guo, the king of Luoyang is here, why don't you report it." Xu Zhilan took the opportunity to reprimand Guo Gonggong and vented his hatred for him in his heart.

"It was this king who didn't let Gonggong Guo report it!" Princess Luoyang first explained for Gonggong Guo.

At this time, Liu Mei'er was also inconvenient to meet guests, Xu Zhilan did not invite Princess Luoyang to sit in the living room, but said: "This king has something to talk to Luoyang's sister and Guo Gonggong, go to Xu's study." ”

Princess Luoyang listened to Gonggong Guo briefly talk about the accident of the second prince in the process of planning, she couldn't help it, and she had the heart to go in to comfort Liu Mei'er, at this time, seeing Xu Zhilan's face covered with frost, she didn't go in to chat with Liu Mei'er first, and helping Xu Zhilan solve national affairs is the right way.

Xu Zhilan returned to Jinling, Prime Minister Jian and others came to ask for a meeting, they didn't meet Xu Zhilan in Xu's study, they walked towards the East Palace, and met Xu Zhilan who took Princess Luoyang to Xu's study halfway, Prime Minister Jian smiled from afar, and said: "King Yangtao has returned safely, it's really gratifying!" ”

"Lord Jane, Lord Chen, Lord Zhao, this king just has something to find a few of you, let's go to Xu's study and sit down."

The three of them saw that Xu Zhilan's face was ugly, which was very different from Xu Zhilan's usual performance, and they vaguely felt that something terrible might have happened.

A few steps behind, the three adults quietly asked Xu Zhilan's close minister Guo Gonggong, wanting to get some information in advance, so as not to wait for Xu Zhilan to ask, everyone didn't know the depth, and bumped into Xu Zhilan, and it would be a big trouble! But Guo's father-in-law still didn't feel that his plan was wrong, and he couldn't figure out what happened around Xu Zhilan, he told the truth that Xu Zhilan was fine just now, and after returning to the East Palace to see Liu Mei'er, Xu Zhilan's face changed.

According to the analysis of this information, it is most likely that someone did not have long eyes and collided with Princess Mei!

The three adults checked themselves, and after Zi Xu Zhilan was kidnapped by Lan Keqing and Xiang'er, the three adults either sent their family members or personally came to inquire about Xu Zhilan's safety and comforted Princess Mei, and there should be no offense to Princess Mei in their words.

Since it has nothing to do with themselves, the three adults were a little relieved, but they didn't expect that as soon as they followed Xu to the study, they heard Xu Zhilan very abnormally angry at the eunuchs and palace maids: "You all go down, no one can come in without the king's orders, don't bother with big things, violators, cut off!" ”

At this time, the three adults became nervous again, and Princess Luoyang felt furious in her heart, and asked softly: "Sister Lan, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Zhilan also ignored Princess Luoyang's question, took the lead in the main seat of the small living room and sat down, waved his hand casually to signal everyone to sit down, and saw that Gonggong Guo was about to pour tea to greet everyone, he said with a cold face: "Gonggong Guo, don't pour tea, this king has something to ask you, I hope you will answer truthfully!" ”

Guo Gonggong saw Xu Zhilan first asked himself, he has not done anything big recently, he faintly felt that something might have gone wrong in the affairs of the third prince, and he was used to showing loyalty first: "What does Your Highness command, the slave will ......"

Xu Zhilan interrupted Gonggong Guo's words of loyalty, and asked loudly: "Gonggong Guo, this king asks you, did you kill the second prince?" ”

"Minion ......"

"You will answer after you think about it, if you dare to say half a word, this king will destroy your nine clans!" Xu Zhilan stared at Gonggong Guo fiercely.

"Sister Lan, what happened?" Seeing that Xu Zhilan didn't even look at it, Princess Luoyang realized the seriousness of the incident, and she asked Gonggong Guo with a cold face: "Gonggong Guo, did you kill the second prince?" ”

"Yes, the second prince was killed by a minion!" Realizing that something might be wrong, Guo Gonggong thought to himself that he was also for the good of Dahua anyway, so he told the truth.

Xu Zhilan was so angry that he grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Guo Gonggong, and with a "snap", the teacup exploded on Guo Gonggong's head, and the broken tiles cut Guo Gonggong's blood.

Princess Luoyang screamed in fright, Prime Minister Jian and the others had never seen Xu Zhilan lose his temper, and they were also frightened by the angry Xu Zhilan at this time.

Guo Gonggong lowered his head, let the blood on his forehead flow, and didn't wipe it, looking submissive.

"This king asked you to help the eighth prince subdue the second and third princes, why did you kill people? You said! Xu Zhilan said while slapping the table, and the blind man knew that Xu Zhilan was furious when he heard the tone.

After Gonggong Guo told his perfect plan, before Xu Zhilan could speak, Princess Luoyang said to Xu Zhilan: "Sister Lan, although Gonggong Guo killed Princess Mei's two royal brothers, but for the sake of Gonggong Guo's loyalty to the country, he also indirectly helped Princess Mei's eighth brother to become the Khan, so let Gonggong Guo spare this time." ”

Seeing that Xu Zhilan's eyes were still full of anger and glaring at Guo Gonggong, Princess Luoyang knew that if Guo Gonggong was not punished, Xu Zhilan would not be able to save face, so she added: "Guo Gonggong did not listen to Sister Lan's orders and changed the plan without authorization, and he was also at fault. In Luoyang's opinion, the rod will be punished for thirty ......"
