Wrong!

Something must be wrong!

Standing silently in front of Bassoon's corpse, Sun Shaozong's brows furrowed more and more.

The abruptness and decisiveness of this bassoon's death seems to be in line with his psychology of not hesitating to die to make a name for himself at first glance, but if you look closely, there are a lot of strange things.

Jing Ke and others went to death in anger, mostly out of loyalty, in order not to implicate the mastermind behind the scenes.

This bassoon seems to be the same on the surface, but don't forget, he is for the sake of immortality, not loyalty—since he is not even afraid of death for the sake of fame, shouldn't he show his heroism first, and then take all the blame on himself?

What's more, the identities of Basson and his comrades have obviously been exposed, and if they suddenly commit suicide, they will only turn their suspicions to the official state of Jinguo.

What kind of family is this sacrificing his life for the country, and what kind of divisive plan is this?

Could it be ......

Sun Shaozong's heart suddenly gave birth to a chill, could it be that Basong assassinated Niu Yongxin this time, originally to frame the country?!

When you think about it this way, many doubts can be explained.

For example, the Assassins infiltrated the Qinglin Mansion in the early days, lurked, waited for an opportunity to assassinate, and planted people to poison their own guards...... These many steps were all carefully planned, but after they succeeded, they obviously had enough time to leave, but they returned to the place where they were originally lurking, as if they had been blessed with a mentally handicapped aura!

After a blow, it should be common sense to be an assassin to run away immediately, no matter if you can't do it? Especially since they assassinated the envoys of the Heavenly Empire!

According to the available information, even if these guys do not fall into the hands of themselves and others, they will inevitably be searched and arrested in the future, and their divisive plan will not only be ineffective, but will properly summon disasters to the kingdom of Jin.

In addition, Bassoon is just a ranger in the country, but he easily opened a branch base in Qinglin Mansion, and even installed a mole in the embassy kitchen...... This kind of strangeness cannot be explained clearly by the words 'bankrupt'!

On the contrary, if all this is a 'counter-plan' set up by the Qianxiang Kingdom in order to annex the Jinguo Kingdom, all the strange questions will have an answer!

No way~

Can't think about it anymore!

Sun Shaozong shuddered, and hurriedly pressed all his doubts to the bottom of his heart - when it comes to the strategic interests between countries, the water in this is too deep, his small shoulders can't bear it, and it's better to pretend that he doesn't know anything.

At least in front of the Qian Xiang people, there must not be any trace of knowing, otherwise it will really be a catastrophe!

"Lord Captain!"

At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from behind him, and Sun Shaozong, who was bluffing, was full of excitement, and looked back, but it turned out to be Feng Xin who hurriedly ran back, and shouted while leaning towards him: "There are a few people patrolling the streets outside, and after I stopped them, it seems that they have already sent someone to find reinforcements - my lord, if the brigade of the Criminal Department comes, we alone can't stop it!" ”

"Why can't you stop it?"

Sun Shaozong scolded angrily: "The three of you put your knives at the door and bite them to death and don't let them in, will the Qianxiang people meet our Great Zhou soldiers for a few suspects who assassinated Ambassador Niu?" ”

"That'...... So what......"

Feng Xin shrank his neck when he scolded him, and muttered, "What if they come in over the wall?" Besides, there's a side door, in case ......."

As he spoke, seeing that Sun Shaozong's face was getting worse and worse, he hurriedly changed the conversation again, and said with a slanted shoulder and flattering concern: "My lord, I see that you seem to be a little unhappy, could it be that something is wrong?" ”

The speculation of the anti-plot is very important, how dare Sun Shaozong tell him the truth?

So he said perfunctorily: "The leading assassin committed suicide just now, and I'm worried that this most important job will not be enough for us to make up for it." ”

He just said this casually, but who knew that Feng Xin took it seriously, rubbed his hands and muttered with a sad face: "How is this good?!" That Lord Niu is the grandson of Zhenguo Gong, his brother Niu Jizong is a hereditary first-class uncle, and his sister is the favorite concubine of the Emperor Taishang, plus the four kings and eight princes have always had a nostril to breathe, in case anyone crooks his mouth in front of the emperor, we will be all finished! ”

What are the four kings and eight princes, it seems to be an alliance among the top gate valves of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it even occupied half of the country in the middle of the dynasty for a time, but in recent years, with the death of the founding heroes one by one, the momentum has been much worse than before.

But there is a way that a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, even if the power of the four kings and eight princes is not as good as before, it is still more than enough to clean up such a small person as himself - thinking about it this way, it seems that the method of making up for the merits is really not safe enough.

It seems that we have to think of some more off-the-market tricks!

Sun Shaozong groaned slightly, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Forget it, since you can't stop it, then just let the people from the Criminal Department come in, and let them bring these assassins back for interrogation." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at Ruan Rong on the side, and hurriedly added: "It's also good to let Ruan Governor's Mansion get out of trouble and go home as soon as possible." ”

When Ruan Rong heard this, she only went from her ears to her heart, and said a blessing to Sun Shaozong: "Thank you, Brother Sun." ”

Feng Xin was unhappy when he heard this, although he didn't dare to oppose it openly, he came up and muttered: "My lord, it took us a lot of effort to hold these assassins, is it so cheap for those Qianxiang people?" ”

"What else else?"

Sun Shaozong glanced at him, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "We are now guilty of crimes, and we must stay in the embassy and wait for the fate, and these assassins can only be escorted to Dazhou by the Qianxiang State Mansion." ”

"This ...... This ......"

Feng Xin still refused to give up, but he didn't know how to persuade Sun Shaozong, so he was pulled by Sun Shaozong again, and whispered: "People can give it to them, but the reputation belongs to us!" You choose a few brothers who can speak well, escort the prisoner to the criminal department with them, and as long as there are enough onlookers on the road, leave one person to publicize today's events - remember not to exaggerate too much, just embellish it a little! ”

After hesitating for a moment, he added: "It's best to think of a few slogans in advance, the kind that is easy to understand, such as 'Sun Duwei's half-day strange case' and the like, and we must emphasize that we are doing this to avenge Lord Niu, don't say anything 'make up for the merits'." ”

When Feng Xin heard this, he immediately patted his chest with joy: "Don't worry, my lord, let the people of the entire Qinglin Mansion know about us...... We all know how wise and powerful you are, adults! ”

As he spoke, he went to choose someone in a hurry.

The method that Sun Shaozong thought of was the four words 'self-respect'!

Although this Qianxiang country is not as good as the Western powers, it is also the first power in southern Xinjiang, if the news of the Qianxiang people's praise for the guards is spread to the Shuntian Mansion along with the escort assassins, is the imperial court embarrassed to punish it severely?

Of course, relying on public opinion alone is not very safe, after all, the ordinary people are not as good as dogs these days, let alone the common people of vassal states?

Therefore, Sun Shaozong is ready to find another official of Qianxiang Country to pull the banner and make a tiger skin.

If the pressure of public opinion from the 'friendly countries surprised' still can't make the court change its mind, he is afraid that he can only take Feng Xin and others to the grass!

And this is also the reason why Sun Shaozong wants to stay in the country of Qianxiang on the grounds of guilt - there is at least a buffer period of two or three months for escorting the assassins, which is enough for Sun Shaozong to arrange a way out.
