wrong!
There must be something wrong!
Standing silently in front of Basong's corpse, Sun Shaozong's brows became tighter and tighter.
The sudden and decisive death of Basong seems to be in line with his mentality that he would not hesitate to die to gain fame, but upon closer inspection, there are a lot of strange things.
Jing Ke and others died reluctantly, mostly out of loyalty, in order not to implicate the people behind the scenes.
This Bassong seems to be the same on the surface, but don't forget, he is for the sake of the eternal name, not the loyalty-since he is not afraid of death for the sake of fame, it is not right to show his heroism at this time, and then put all the charges. Take it on yourself
What's more, the identities of Bassong and his comrades have obviously been exposed. Sudden suicide will only make people turn their suspicions to Zhenguo officials.
What kind of sacrifice for the country is this, and what kind of alienation scheme
Could it be…
Sun Shaozong suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that Basong's assassination of Niu Yongxin this time was originally to frame Zhen Guo? !
Thinking about it like this, many doubts can be explained.
For example: the assassins sneaked into the Qinglin Mansion in the early days, lurked, waited for an opportunity to assassinate, and planted people to poison their guard commander... These many steps were all planned carefully, but after they succeeded, they obviously had enough time to leave, but It happened to return to the original lurking place, it was like being blessed with a mentally retarded halo!
After a blow, no matter how successful it is, it should be a common sense to be an assassin, right? Especially when they assassinated the envoys of the heavenly kingdom!
According to the existing information, even if these guys don't fall into the hands of him and others, they will inevitably be arrested in the future. At that time, their alienation plan will not only be ineffective, but will properly bring disaster to Zhenguo.
In addition, Basong is only a ranger in Zhenguo, but he easily opened a branch base in Qinglin Mansion, and even installed a traitor in the embassy kitchen... This kind of strangeness is not just based on the words 'to ruin the family'. Clearly explained!
On the other hand, if all this is a 'countermeasure' set up by Qianxiang Kingdom in order to annex Zhen Kingdom, then all mysteries will be answered!
no~
Can't think any more!
Sun Shaozong shuddered and hurriedly pressed all his doubts to the bottom of his heart - it involved the strategic interests between countries, the water in it was too deep, his small shoulders couldn't carry it, or It's better to pretend you don't know anything.
At least in front of Qianxiang people, there must be no trace of knowledge, otherwise it will be doomed!
"Master Duwei!"
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from behind him, and Sun Shaozong, who was bluffing, was stunned. He looked back, but it turned out that Feng Xin hurriedly ran back, and while leaning towards him, he shouted: "Come outside. After a few arrests patrolling the streets, after being stopped by me, it seems that someone has already been sent to find reinforcements—sir, if the brigade of the Ministry of Justice comes, we alone can’t stop it!”
"Why can't you stop it?"
Sun Shaozong scolded angrily: "The three of you slashed your swords at the door, and you won't be allowed to enter. Could it be that the Qianxiang people will meet with our Da Zhou soldiers for the sake of a few suspects who assassinated Ambassador Niu?"
"Then...then what..."
Feng Xin shrank his neck when he reprimanded him, and muttered embarrassingly: "What if they climb over the wall and come in? Besides, isn't there a side door, in case..."
As he was talking, seeing that Sun Shaozong's face was getting worse and worse, he hurriedly changed the subject again, sloping his shoulders and flatteringly cared: "Sir, I think you seemed a little unhappy just now, is there something wrong?"
The speculation of countermeasures is of great importance. How dare Sun Shaozong tell him the truth
So he said perfunctorily: "The leading assassin committed suicide just now. I'm worried that without this most important job, we won't be able to make up for it."
He just said this casually, but Feng Xin took it seriously, rubbing his hands and muttering with a frown: "How can this be good?! That Lord Niu is the grandson of Duke Zhen Guo, and his brother Niu Jizong is hereditary. First-class uncle, my sister is the favored concubine of the Emperor Taishang, and the four princes and eight princes have always vented their anger from one nostril, if anyone crooked his mouth in front of the emperor, we would be finished!"
These four princes and eight princes seem to be an alliance of the top clans of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Originally, they even occupied half of the country at one time, but in recent years, with the death of the founding heroes one by one, their momentum has not been as good as before.
But there is a saying that a hundred-legged worm is dead and not stiff. Even if the power of the four princes and eight princes is not as strong as before, it is still more than enough to clean up such a small person as himself. Thinking about it, this method of making up for the failure seems to be a bit insecure.
It seems that I have to think a little more about the trick!
Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Forget it, since it can't be stopped, let the people from the Ministry of Punishment come in and let them take these assassins Yu Dang back for interrogation."
As he said that, he suddenly glanced at Ruan Rong next to him, and hurriedly added: "It's good for Ruan Zhifu to get out of trouble and go home as soon as possible."
Ruan Rong heard the words, only sweet from her ears to her heart, and said a thousand blessings to Sun Shaozong: "Thank you, Brother Sun."
Feng Xin heard the words, but the boss was unhappy. Although he didn't dare to express his objection, he came up and muttered: "My lord, we took a lot of effort to catch these assassins. Is it so cheap for those Qianxiang people? "
"What else could it be?"
Sun Shaozong glanced at him, and said with awe, "We are now guilty, we must stay in the embassy and wait for their release. These assassins can only be escorted to Dazhou by the government of Qianxiang."
"This this… "
Feng Xin was still unwilling to give up, but he didn't know how to convince Sun Shaozong. While he was hesitating, he was dragged to his side by Sun Shaozong, and he whispered: "People can give it to them, but the reputation belongs to us! You choose a few brothers who can speak well. , escort criminals to the Punishment Department with them, as long as there are enough people on the road, leave one person to publicize what happened today - remember not to exaggerate, just make a little decoration!"
After hesitating for a while, he added: "It's best to come up with a few slogans in advance, the ones that are easy to understand, such as 'Duwei Sun's Half-Day Miracle Case' and the like, and we must emphasize that we are doing this to In order to avenge Sir Niu, don't say anything about 'make up for the fault'."
Hearing these words, Feng Xin immediately patted his chest with overjoyed delight: "Don't worry, my lord, you will let everyone in the Qinglin Mansion know that we... all know how wise and talented you are!"
Having said that, he excitedly went to choose a candidate.
The solution that Sun Shaozong thought of was exactly the words 'respecting foreigners'!
Although this country of Qianxiang is not comparable to the Western powers, it is still the number one power in the southern border. If the news that the people of Qianxiang praised the guards, along with the team of escorting assassins, spread to Shuntian Prefecture, would the court still be embarrassed to punish it severely?
Of course, it is not safe to rely on public opinion alone. After all, ordinary people are not as good as dogs these days, not to mention the common people of vassal states
So Sun Shaozong was going to find another high-ranking official from the country of Qianxiang, to pull the banner and make a tiger's skin.
If the public opinion pressure of "AIA Surprised" still can't make the court change its mind, he is afraid that he can only bring Feng Xin and others to the trouble!
And this is also the reason why Sun Shaozong wanted to stay in Qianxiang Country under the pretext of guilt. There is at least two or three months of buffer period for escorting assassins, which is enough for Sun Shaozong to arrange a plan to escape.
