At the end of the Shen Dynasty and the beginning of the month. Zhang Fan ended the conversation with Zhao Zijie. Zhao Zijie was on duty. He went to inspect all the places in the palace. And Zhang Fan returned to his residence. In the room. Wang Meng and Liang Chao are already waiting here. I saw Zhang Fan coming in. Get up immediately and say hello.

"Your Excellency. Where have you been? Liang Chao hurriedly asked. I went to find out something with Brother Wang. I'm about to tell an adult. Who knew that after coming, the adults would not be there. Here, Brother Wang and I don't have the courage to go out to look for it. Just wait here. ”

And Wang Meng on the side didn't ask like Liang Chao. But it also showed a concerned look. is obviously worried about Zhang Fan.

"That's mine, it's not mine." Zhang Fan's current mood. Not that it's good. But it's not bad. Didn't care so much. Speak. "Just now I saw Zhao Zijie chatting with people in the small pavilion with the third princess that night. It's that Zhao Zijie. ”

"The adult went to talk to Zhao Zijie." Hear Zhang Fan's words. Liang Chao was a little surprised. "That. Adults can you ask for anything? ”

"Nope." Speaking of which. Zhang Fan was slightly disappointed. But it didn't last. After all, Zhang Fan didn't care what he said. I also know something. "Still. I did ask something. Maybe. This Zhao Zijie came to this palace for this reason. That's it. He would have such a big hatred with Zhu Xuanqi. It makes sense. And then again. What did you find out? ”

"Let's listen to the adults first." Wang Meng said. "We've gotten some information. But most of them are from other people. That man was a guy who left the house today. Listen to him say that what he knows is also heard by others. Probably not very credible. Let's listen to the adults first. ”

"Hmm." Nodding. Zhang Fan told Wang Meng and Liang Chao what he said to Zhao Zijie before.

And after listening to Zhang Fan's words. The two of them didn't speak for a long time. I've been thinking about it. After a while. Wang Meng spoke first: "I don't know what the adults think of this Zhao Zijie's words." This is his deliberate deception of adults. Or a story made up in advance to hide his own background. Or is that really the case? What adults think. ”

"Speaking of which. I don't think it's fake. Zhang Fan said his thoughts very calmly. After all, this kind of thing. If it's a lie. It's too easy to be exposed. Don't say that Zhao Zijie knows the purpose of my here. Even if he didn't know. I will not deceive people with such nonsense. It's too easy to be seen through. And will be suspicious of him. Not good for him. This kind of thing. If you go to someone and ask. Or maybe it's a casual conversation with someone. Questions will arise immediately. So I don't think he's lying to me.

"And. Frankly. When he said this. I can see the look on his face clearly. It's not like a lie. Of course. Naturally, there are those who are very sophisticated. Even if it's a big lie. But the look doesn't make people see that he's talking nonsense at all. But I think. This Zhao Zijie really doesn't look like that kind of person. Of course. You can’t judge a book by its cover. Maybe I'm blind. Maybe he had such skills at a young age. But. I believed it anyway. ”

"Speaking of which......" Liang Chao pondered. He said. "What do you mean. The reason why this Zhao Zijie came to the palace on an errand. And also wants to deal with the prince. It was because he blamed the prince for killing his father. ”

"Although he didn't say it. But I think that's probably the case. Zhang Fan nodded and said. And. You can also find out from what I just said. He said so much though. But he never said that he didn't hate Zhu Xuanqi. Even though he said he had listened to his father's dying words. But he didn't say he was going to do what his father said. And. And it's because he didn't say it. I thought what he said was true. ”

"Your Excellency is right." Wang Meng said. "Still. Is this necessary. Although this matter can be blamed on the prince's head. But after all, his father did it of his own free will. Of course. The enmity of the parents is not shared. If Zhao Zijie insists on revenge. There's not much to say. But. According to what the adults said. This Zhao Zijie's parents were not long after he was born. When he went out, he encountered a gangster and died. That's it. This Zhao Zijie can be said to have never seen his parents. I haven't even seen a face. Is there really such a big hatred? I know how to seek revenge on the prince. He himself had absolutely no good fruit to eat. But he still had to do it. It's a bit confusing.

"And. Judging from what the adults had seen that night. There is obviously someone behind this Zhao Zijie. It's not just him. The people behind him also intend to be unfavorable to the prince. That's it. This matter made the humble position a little puzzled. Who the hell is the person behind him. What the hell is going to be. ”

"Listen to what adults say. This Zhao Zijie before entering the palace as a guard. has always followed his master to travel everywhere. Liang Chao said. He was able to enter the royal palace at the age of seventeen. Even if it's because of his father. Let the prince look at him differently. However, at that time, there was also a competition ring in the palace. He also saw the prince after he won. It shows that he has good skills. That's the case. Even if he is extremely talented. It also took more than ten years of hard work to practice martial arts. Where do you have time to go to those people to plot or something? It's hard to say. The man behind him. It's his master who can't do it. ”

"That's a question, too." Zhang Fan said with a frown. "How did this Zhao Zijie get in touch with the people behind him. It's a mystery. Now we don't know anything. Guessing here is inconclusive. And. These things are private things. Thinking about it, I'm afraid it's even if I ask Zhao Zijie. He won't tell us either. It's up to us to find out for ourselves.

"That's right. You've just found out a few things. What is it. Let's hear it. ”

"Your Excellency asked Beizhi and Brother Wang to spy on the outside of the palace. See if anyone is coming in or out. I can find someone to ask. Liang Chao said. Early this morning, I was secretly watching outside the palace with Brother Wang. This Shu Wangfu is very big. There are also a lot of people. Naturally, there are a lot of people who go out on a regular basis. But most of them are in groups of three or five. The least is also a group of two people to go out. I really couldn't find a chance to start.

"We'll wait until late afternoon. It is estimated that the people in the palace have already eaten. This is to see a person go out of the palace alone. Originally, we thought he was out shopping. Who knows, go and take a look. only to find out that it was actually in the afternoon. Such a person who ran to the gambling house on the side street to enjoy it.

"At that time, both the humble and Brother Wang were a little disappointed. After all, such a man. And it looks. He was dressed in coarse cloth. The face is also sloppy with a beard. He didn't look like a person who could know anything about the palace. But it's better than nothing. Look he's out of money. Tricked him out of the name of borrowing money. asked him about Zhao Zijie.

"The result was a little unexpected for Brother Wang. This man actually said he knew. It was also strange to be humble at the time. This man said that he himself was a fellow in the king's house. How do you know about Zhao Zijie. The result is a question. That's what comes to discover. At that time, Zhao Zijie entered the house. The movement is quite large. There are a lot of people who know. Only now. The time is already out. And although there was a lot of movement at that time. But at the end of the day. It's not too important. That's why no one is talking about it now. ”

"What the hell is going on here?" Zhang Fan asked.

"It's pretty much the same as the adults say." Liang Chao continued. "It is said that at that time. The palace is short of guards. So a job search notice was posted. As a result, quite a few people came. No less than thirty or forty people. At that time, the palace was only looking for three or five people. So the ring was set up in the palace. Let these people compete against each other. And the result is already known to adults. Zhao Zijie won the first place. I heard that the gap is not small. The second-place player was kicked out of the ring with three punches and two kicks.

"The prince was also present at that time. Seeing that he was young and strong. Naturally, it is a pleasure. It's just that Zhao Zijie's age is too young. I heard that at that time, the prince planned to let him be a guard in the outer courtyard of the palace. I'll wait a few years before I make plans. But when the prince saw these people. Zhao Zijie said about his father. And after that. The prince let him go directly to the inner courtyard to guard. As for what exactly was said between the two of them. The guy didn't know. Listen to him. After hearing Zhao Zijie mention his father's name. He took him to the back and talked in private.

"Originally, I still couldn't figure it out with Brother Wang. Now I hear what adults say. This can be explained. ”

"So that's ......," Zhang Fan listened to Liang Chao's words. Nodding. Said. "Now we know that. The others don't know. What kind of handle is Zhao Zijie looking for Zhu Xuanqi. What the hell is that. We just don't know anything. Looks like we'll have to keep looking. That's right. Zhao Zijie is also out of the house today. I heard that the third princess let him out. You know where he went. ”

I heard Zhang Fan ask about this matter. The two of them had strange expressions on their faces. After a while. Liang Chao opened his mouth and said, "My lord." It's a bit strange to talk about. ”

"What the hell is going on," Zhang Fan asked.

"After Zhao Zijie left the house today. Went straight to a rouge house on the street. Liang Chao said. At that time, it was mostly women. Therefore, it is not easy to follow up on the lowly position. Wait until Zhao Zijie leaves. Go again. But I heard something. We might be able to use it. ”
