As soon as Zhan Zhao left Lai Yao'er's villa, he went straight to Kaifeng City without any delay. Compared with ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, he knew more about the affairs of the court. If he was really assassinated and died, then the King of Changsha, who had long had ambitions for the throne, would surely take advantage of the momentum, and the world would then face another major war.

Moreover, the border has been restless these years. If Xixia and Daliao can take advantage of it, it will really be a disaster for the people of the Song Dynasty. Look, he can be regarded as a famous Mingjun, not to mention that Zhan Zhao is currently working in Kaifeng Mansion, even if he is still in the Jianghu, he can't sit idly by when encountering such a thing.

When Zhan Zhao hurried back to the Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Bao had already returned from the palace. He was talking with Mr. Gongsun in the study at this time. He couldn't help frowning on his face, wondering if Zhan Zhao had found out something, so he usually let Zhan Zhao in.

As soon as he approached the study, Zhan Zhao set his sights on Mr. Bao, who had not had time to take off his official uniform. Seeing the serious expression on his face, Zhan Zhao also had some thoughts in his heart, but what he learned was too much. It's too important, but I don't have time to ask Mr. Bao what happened there first.

"Lord Bao, I just got an important piece of information. Someone is going to plan an assassination on the Longevity Festival when the emperor sacrifices to heaven!"

Zhan Zhao clasped his fists together, without any delay, glanced left and right in the study room, saw that there were no outsiders, and said it with a serious expression, which can be described as very straightforward.

"What? Zhan Zhao, where did you say that?"

When Mr. Bao heard this, he couldn't help being startled, his hands shook, and he immediately focused all his attention on Zhan Zhao. Compared with what the other party said, everything he did in court today could be counted as It's a trivial matter.

"I got this from Lai Yao'er. The people who planned the assassination were the same people who wanted to threaten Lai Yao'er last time..."

Regarding this matter, Zhan Zhao did not hide the slightest bit. After all, the matter is of great importance. If the source of the news and the person who is planning to assassinate are not clearly stated, Master Bao may not pay much attention to it. Of course, regarding the cause of this matter, That is to say, Zhan Zhao didn't mention a word about the robbing of the tribute in Taihang Mountain.

"Does Lai Yaoer know what those people are going to do and what kind of plans they have?"

Hearing Lai Yao'er's name again, Mr. Bao couldn't help feeling a little dizzy. He always felt that nothing good would happen if he got involved with the other party. Of course, Mr. Bao also knew in his heart, except for threatening those innocent people for the second time. , other things have nothing to do with Lai Yao'er, but every time he hears the other party's name, there are many crises, which makes Master Bao feel a little helpless.

"Lai Yao'er's knowledge is limited. He only knows that there are many masters among those people. The time and place to do it is the Longevity Festival, when the Holy Majesty is out of the palace. As for the more specific action plan, he doesn't know..."

Zhan Zhao shook his head. After knowing this, Zhan Zhao also asked Lai Yaoer these questions in detail, but the other party only told him these things. From the look on his face, it didn't seem like a fake. Know this.

"That's right, since he has left that organization, it is impossible for him to know too much inside information. If he knows more, something is wrong!"

Hearing what Zhan Zhao said, Master Bao also realized that it was already the limit for Lai Yaoer to know something through his previous relationship. If he really knew the details, then Master Bao had to wonder if the other party was cheating , What is the conspiracy.

"Master, what kind of master, so what if the martial arts show up to protect you?"

Mr. Gongsun has been sitting by the side, and when he heard this, he couldn't help asking, masters in this world are also graded, just such a sentence of masters really makes Gongsun Ce unable to judge the seriousness of the matter.

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes. I don't know what kind of master it is. However, according to what Brother Lai said, even if the strength is not as good as Brother Bai and me, it shouldn't be too far behind..."

After receiving Bao Zheng's signal, Zhan Zhao sat down on the chair on the right, put the sword on the table, recalled it slightly, shook his head and said.

Lai Yao'er himself spoke vaguely, and he had never met him before, so he really couldn't figure out what the other party's martial arts were, but judging by Lai Yao'er's appearance, his martial arts probably wouldn't be that bad, otherwise, he might as well. Don't you have the guts to assassinate the emperor?

"Do you know how many of them there are?"

After stroking his beard, Mr. Gongsun pondered for a while, and then asked, an organization that dared to assassinate the emperor must have made a lot of preparations. For the court, knowing the assassin's martial arts is the key, and being able to understand the opponent's strength The number of people is even more critical.

"I don't know, but from Brother Lai's words, I feel that there should be a lot of people!"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, this is already relatively specific information, how could Lai Yaoer know, in other words, even if he knew, in order to avoid suspicion, he might not tell it.

"This matter is very important, we must make a plan early, I will go to the palace and report to the emperor..."

Bao Zheng is also a decisive person, and he has great trust in Zhan Zhao. After listening to the conversation between Zhan Zhao and Mr. Gongsun, Bao Zheng got up and wanted to enter the palace. It happened that he had not had time to change his official uniform. There is no need to prepare anything for entering the palace now.

"Sir, wait a minute!"

Seeing that Bao Zheng was about to leave after saying this, Mr. Gongsun hurriedly stopped Bao Zheng.

"Why, Mr. Gongsun has something to say?"

Mr. Bao looked at Mr. Gongsun suspiciously, not understanding why the other party stopped him. If the Holy Majesty was not to know about this matter and took precautions early, then what was the meaning of Zhan Zhao's news.

"My lord, think about it, why does an organization want to assassinate the emperor, it is of no benefit to them..."

Seeing the puzzlement on Mr. Bao's face, Mr. Gongsun analyzed in detail. In his opinion, this matter is not that simple. After so many days of investigation by that organization, the Kaifeng government has found some information,

This organization has existed for a long time. Although the things it does are lawless and cruel, killing people and destroying families at every turn, every action has its own purpose, and it has never deliberately targeted the court. Although this organization looks like a cult, it has always done things with interests as the core, and they will not do things without interests.

This is very different from those cults that chanted slogans for ideals and beliefs, so the assassination of the emperor was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

"You mean, there is someone behind this organization!"

Mr. Bao is also a person with a clear mind. When Mr. Gongsun said this, Bao Zheng also reacted, his brows furrowed instantly, and the name Zhao Yu popped up in his mind immediately.

It's no wonder that Bao Zheng thought of him immediately. It's because the other party's actions have been a bit big recently, and the emperor has repeatedly warned him to be vigilant about it. So when Mr. Gongsun said this, Bao Zheng suspected Changsha King Zhao Yu body.

However, apart from this instinctive first reaction, Xixia and Daliao are also under Bao Zheng's suspicion. Recently, the frontier war has been unstable, and both Daliao and Xixia are a little ready to make a move. It is hard to guarantee that the other party will not use this method, after all , if there is turmoil in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, it is inevitable that they will not be able to take care of the frontier.

"According to my guess, [-]% of them are like this. Otherwise, there is no benefit, it doesn't seem like this organization will do..."

Mr. Gongsun nodded. He didn't know what other people thought, but in his opinion, things were like this. As the saying goes, if there is no benefit, who would put so much effort and effort into it? , at the risk of death.

"In Mr. Yi's opinion, is the mastermind behind this scene the King of Changsha, Daliao, or Xixia?"

There were no outsiders present, so Bao Zheng asked directly, if the Emperor Song was assassinated, then the three parties would gain the most in this world, but Bao Zheng couldn't guess which party it was.

"It's not sure yet, maybe it's some other organization. On the day of the sacrifice, make preparations in advance. If you can catch someone alive, maybe you can find out!"

Mr. Gongsun shook his head with a smile. He doesn't know everything. Now that all the information is pitifully small, how can he determine which side it is.

"In this case, why did Mr. Gongsun stop me just now, tell the emperor about the matter earlier, so the emperor can prepare early, wouldn't it be better..."

Seeing Mr. Gongsun shaking his head with a smile, Mr. Bao was suddenly puzzled, but then he became more confused. After all, if it was like what the other party said, why did he stop him just now?

"My lord, whether it is Changsha King Zhao Yu, or Daliao and Xixia, there are many people in the palace. Some of them are known to us, but some of them are unknown to us. There are many people in the palace. Have to live in a secret place!"

Seeing that Bao Zheng still hadn't figured it out, Mr. Gongsun sighed softly, and explained in detail that there was a sentence that Mr. Gongsun thought about, but he still didn't say it, but swallowed it in his stomach.

The fact that secrets cannot be hidden in the palace is the second thing, mainly around the emperor. I am afraid there are no secrets at all, especially since the emperor has not been in power for a few years. Even a young talent wants to completely control the spread of news. It's not necessarily possible to do it.
